Hello and good luck with your paper!

1- I think graphics and art style are top tier.

2- Yes, very much.

3- I experienced end game last year with a friend. We shared a character. We stopped playing together when the extreme primals came out. So based on that, I'd say it was engaging and fun, but a little redundant at times.

4- Depends on what I'm doing. When I'm crafting, the only person in my party is Jim Beam

5- I don't know, tough to answer.

6- Yes. I would change the way inventory management is handled, how rtm are dealt with, and some of the input delay issues for casters just to name a few.
