Patch 7.4 MSQ was Good. Bravo.

I also had a great time with 7.4. Every character and interaction was dripping with charm. I'm someone who liked wuk lamat and dawntrail, and I genuinely think people will be kinder to it in retrospect. But I understand why the writing was putting people off. In my opinion, stong character concepts were emptied by repetitive dialogue that didn't have life, specificity, and charisma. But in 7.4, dialogue was well-crafted and used efficiently to give us new information about whoever was speaking.

I believe that if 7-7.2 was written like 7.4, everyone from players to staff would have had a better experience. I hope this proves how a good story is an important foundation to the rest of the game.

I despised Wuk, but still couldn't help but to like her as we said our goodbyes and it hit her that we were all leaving. I wish the writers just did a better job with her in 7.0 as the over-exposure did not help her.

Krile being insanely OP in the part we play her and then when we're back into our own character during the boss got me wishing our allies could flex their individual spells more in Duty Support and Trusts. I genuinely think the system would be more entertaining if they did since most of our allies DO have really unique skills that we don't get, and right now, it's much slower to do content with the NPCs despite genuinely enjoying them, myself. I would never take Krile or G'raha out of my party if Butterfly Motif, Break, and Vanish were skills they would use in dungeons and not just solo instances and cutscenes!

7.4 was a massive step up and I feel what fans were hoping for from DT from the start. I feel a little vindicated giving 7.2-7.3 the benefit of the doubt for trending in the right direction (not 7.1, that was awful. Even worse than 7.0), if this is what the end result winds up being.

I enjoyed the 7.4 MSQ. I feel like Krile finally got her due, including Krile power-trip moments that I enjoyed even though Krile ends up being a far more powerful Pictomancer than the player character.

I totally agree. Krile was FUN to play. There's this history of playing other characters where they're so underpowered and you pray that the WoL will come on in and finish the battle.

This time around, Krile was intensely powerful and I loved it. Even on Normal mode it was a breath of fresh air.

Krile's was definitely done right. Her being OP and with a very simple skill set made it easy to access for people who don't play casters. Anyone could just blow everything up.

In the past we had some very weak guest characters that were just awful to play as. I don't mind temporarily controlling another cast member if it's like Krile was.

I was bored out of my gourd. Where is the conflict? Where is the drama? Where is the action? Also where did all the men go??? The MSQ has been nothing but women, children and femboys since the lizard died. We desperately need some testosterone injected back into this game.

[Kaurhz]

It was OK...

This is the quality we should've gotten from the initial patch, and we should not have needed to wait until 7.3 for something of this quality.

I feel like they poured all their effort into the first few cutscenes not gonna lie... It would also be nice if they actually started to deviate away from this whole Ascian business.

[ViinaS]

It was... okay.

I don't like Lalafells so maybe that's why it didn't do it for me.
Especially it was too little regarding Krile imo after they completely shafted her for the entirety of DT so far.

So no. 7.4 was not good, it was just okay.
I'd try to compare it to 6.4 but I have absolutely no recollection of that patch, but it definitely falls short of 5.4, 4.4 etc etc, you catch my drift.

The last two DT Patches so far feel like something that's okay-ish or mid gets praise just cause it was so bad for so long.

Finally someone hit the nail on the head
