That’s not what we were promised.

DT will have the most content we have ever had in an expansion.
Here’s a fact you might not realize: the previous “content” we got, Cosmic “Exploration”, is almost entirely botted. In fact, the whole thing can be automated from start to finish. This is intentional because the developers refuse to add an anti-cheat. So while you can do this the hard way, rest assured that you’ll be the only one. As such, we can remove that from the list. All other forms of “content” are either 10-minute one-and-done instances, like dungeons/alliance raids, or dismal failures like Chaotic (how was your Christmas?). Occult Crescent is the direction that Square Enix HAS to move toward. But it’ll be October until we get the DD or any other content lasting longer than 10 minutes. And given the latest numbers, many people aren’t waiting.



As it stands, Square Enix barely has the money to survive. They’ve cut off every other AAA and AA project they have because they are broke. We are now getting endless remake slop because re-releasing old games is literally ALL this company can afford. And that’s because their primary revenue stream, FFXIV, is failing.

So is Dawntrail still a success?
