FFXIV Dawntrail reviews are out on Metacritic

[Swordsman]

This expansion was on mixed reviews since its release. Now it's mostly negative for months. It's not going to be better. They ruined the jobs, mid content, people fairly even forgot that they have cosmic exploration due to how its forgotten and bland. The reviews are there for a reason. Plus let's not talk about the main character and Sweet Baby involvement as well that led to these reviews as well.

I forgot about the whole Sweet Baby dilemma plus the outrage over Wuk's VA. Both definitely factors in DT's negative reviews.

Weeaboo Police detectives have contributed enormous amounts of intel to Square's Special Task Force, citizen. There were many illegal underground ERP Discords that we've infiltrated and have been investigating for months. There is no need to thank us, it is only our duty.





The mountain guides us home.

Lmao why do I get the feeling you're not kidding about infiltrating the ERP discords.

Would just call it joining instead of infiltrating but hey, to each their own.

Honestly Ill judge based on my own experience and no I don't like dawntrail. On the 3day head start. The story was so boring I kept falling asleep. Mind you i completed shadow bringers and endwalker reallly fast on 3 days head start. Dawntrail was so boring it cured my insomnia like bruh best sleep ever.

Funny you mention this. I can't remember the last time I legit passed out while actively playing a game before. Sure, I've dozed while AFKing or getting distracted and just sort of "resting my eyes" but during the Pelupelu split I was so bored I actually fell asleep and had to be woken up by my friend yelling my name. She wasn't much better as I had to all but drag her to the finish line. We did still manage to finish DT in four days somehow, but... well, I'll quote her. "I would rather pay for the $30 skip than ever do Dawntrail again."

My biggest takeaway from that whole debacle was that the same people that vehemently defend that VA was quick to throw Susan under the bus for things that had nothing to do with the game. Oh well, this is the reality we live in. Hypocrisy is okay as long as you have a backing big enough to deflect the "haters"~!

Fast forward to now, apparently our lore consultant or english consultant? Whatever her title is, was caught reposting on her account similar political things that the ex-singer allegedly got fired for, and her account was hacked I think?
While the new consultant quickly deleted her posts as she realized the backlash. The two of them reposted things from the opposite sides of the politics in America. Very unprofessional to do from your main account linked to your job, but okay. Guess they get to keep their job?

I will never get America, it's always Team this vs Team that, instead of what is good for EVERYONE.

Eh, I would say it's the loud minority from the west coast. It's like painting all of the EU as subscribing to the nonsense that is going on in the UK. That said, who gave these loud fools so much power?

Its kind of funny with this community, how every opposing view to everyones own point of view is a "vocal minority". But jokes aside, I think people have given the twitter mob a bit too much power. It's like a village fool shouting in the streets and everyone suddenly listens to their opinion like they are an expert. When they clearly have no credentials backing it up. People are way too tribalistic for their own good, its good to have your own nuanced opinions, if you are afraid your opinions will upset your friends ,they werent your friends to begin with.

*looks at the latest Lucky Bancho numbers*

I dunno, they might slowly be transforming into the majority since the smarter ones realized what was going on and jumped ship when the game jumped the shark, lol. (I will still never forgive the writers for introducing the concept of Dynamis and the devs for turning Qufim island into a freakin' hallway...)

I was going to take it slow on the story, but I was afraid that I would never get to finish it because of how much of a slog it was to get through. I did get through in the end, though through sheer determination.

EW was the downhill trend in lore and worldbuilding for me, yeah. Including dynamis. 8.0 will be my final limit if they make another toothless msq that is too afraid to tackle any serious subjects and goes too blatantly shonen-anime writing.
