Have you found any examples of "laser-focused, good-faith critique" of Dawntrail getting buried in an avalanche of simplistic "I LIKED IT!" or "YOU'RE JUST A HATER, A DOOMPOSTER, A TROLL." You said there were loads in the forums and you just needed time to find one. No luck?
You could search this forum yourself. There's a feature for that. You could search Reddit yourself. You know it exists, you're just being pedantic with your "Citation Needed."

Look, I'm going to be real with you, Exmo.... I really don't have time for this. I have a job, and a family (including aging, ailing parents), and other hobbies than arguing with people on the internet all day and night about a video game. I spent most of my evening last night painting Warhammer models and ignoring that FF, and by extension this forum, even exists. I'm starting to realize that arguing with people on the forums is nothing but a huge waste of my valuable time, and I regret I even started doing it. So look, I'm not going to bend over backwards to go find that shit, but you and I both know that criticism gets handwaved away with boring simple platitudes or dismissive namecalling.

Go find any thread that is a lengthy, reasonable critique/discussion of Dawntrail, and you'll find the attitude in question.

I'm not even sure what exactly is so wrong with expecting more from the devs who have already proven to us they CAN do better and give us more, but here we are.

As for me, I think I'm basically done here. I have better things to do with my life than talk about a game sinking into mediocrity, arguing with players who don't WANT it to be anything but dumbed-down mediocrity.
