Thoughts about the LL?

So once again - for the fifth time in a row - we will get a storyline finale dungeon that is a phantasmal/holographic recreation of the villain's long-lost home, where they will explain their sad backstory and why their homeland was so wonderful and great and deserves to be the ONLY thing that exists, and trauma dump onto us as they cope with their inability to let go of the past.
Just like Amaurot.

And Dead Ends.

And Lunar Subterrane.

And Alexandria.

The only difference this time is Calyx is a scientist so he won't be quite as maudlin and whiny about it as other villains.

As much of a Shadowbringers simp as I am, I am begging you, SE... Get some new material.

They tried that. It was Dawn Trail. According to the masses, the MSQ wasn't great.

I do admit that they need to change up the formula a fair bit with their MSQ these days than the previous. I think we peaked hard in SB/EW with the writing. We certainly need to start bringing back some shock value and shake things up a fair bit.


As for my own gripes, not addressing the housing was a letdown for me. Pretty sure I heard them say they'd mention it last time.

New Deep Dungeon/Treasure Hunting looks great and the Meso Terminal stage looks extremely nice. Say what you will about some things, but when they deliver content, this expansion has been banging out some good changes despite most things.

This patch feels very slim again, much like 7.1. The usual MSQ dungeon and trial, but no Ultimate, no Chaotic, no Variant/Criterion dungeon... Only thing of interest for me is the Deep Dungeon and that doesn't even come out until 7.35.

People complained plenty about 7.1 being such a boring patch, and we're pretty much repeating it with this one. Also where's the housing changes? I was kidding when I said they'll come in 7.55 but at this rate that'll be the reality.

I'm definitely getting tired of these recreation story dungeons. It was neat the first couple of times but now it's the norm. We have the echo, just let us have some flashbacks to what happened years ago and give us more dungeons that isn't just a walk through the past.
