As for the MSQ, they just need to put miss Ishikawa at the helm again and we'll be drowning in kino. Everything that woman writes is either gold (SHB) or not-quite-gold-but-damn-its-still-rather-nice-and-i-cried-anyway (EW but strictly 6.0). Also congrats on finding your SO in such a cute way

Keep in mind we're due for that fabled "job identity rework" they promised us
If Natsuko Ishikawa isn't personally writing 8.0 I'm already prepared for it to be garbage. She seems to be the only person at this company who can write a decent story anymore. No idea why they didn't have her write 7.0 when she was entirely the reason ShB and EW (aside from the patch cycle) were considered successful. My hope is she asked for a break for one expansion to write the next few all at once or something, but admittedly I am just huffing some PREMIUM copium there.
