Okay so we are over 1 year into HW.

May as well.....


Story : 2.4-3.2 is amazing, 3.3 was good as well but very predictable, the new VA were much better even if I did have to adjust & I am excited to see what comes next.

Map : The zones themselves are beautiful however it is full of dead space with little reason to ever revisit anywhere unless you're hunting or they add a Beast Tribe. Flying overall is very fun, no complaints.

Dungeons : Too few in number. I personally don't hate any of the dungeons(maybe Hullbreaker hm) but the 60 ones tend to get stale running them 120 times every patch.

Raids : Either too easy or too hard. Alexander has a bland story as well.

Trials: I have enjoyed them all with Ravana(ex) & Nidhogg being my favorites.

Ex Trials: Couldn't beat Thordan or Sephirot in PF when they were relevant but beat Ravana & Bismark in DF when they(Ravana) were relevant. I have yet to beat Sephi after 100s of wipes & now using DF my groups still struggle & fail. I think there is a difficulty jump, For non statics Thordan is just mechanic heavy so it's reasonable for people to screw up & 205 was the second strongest at the time but Sephirot requires a lot more co ordination especially in phase 3 & someone always messes up. Always. I think he could be a little more forgiving so random parties can win even if it takes 30 minutes of wiping for a mere 220 weapon, Ravana was "easily" doable with pugs but Sephirot isn't & both dropped 20 ilvl weaker weapons than the current highest. For the future maybe make it forgiving so if one person screws up everyone doesn't wipe, at least for the "20ilvl lower weapon". Nid I have yet to try bc sephirot has left a scar on me.

Crafting/Gathering : Scripts are a nice idea but they're extremely limited turn ins, instead of dailies every(60) item should have a value(red script) and everyday different items will be bonus scripts added to them.

24 mans : VA was far too easy, Mcach however is quite fun even now & a step up in challenge.

Additional content : LoV is a nice idea but I don't care for it, & weirdly I couldn't tell what would make it better. Diadem was a great(terribly executed) idea & I read it will be reworked in 3.4 so I am looking forward to it. Deep dungeon looks to be fun however as a player will all 60s, there is very little incentive to run it besides one weapon & I worry it won't be worth doing, but it looks fun.

Music: Beautiful, trial musics especially, no complaints.

Gear : I love the crafted gear that actually is useful. 3.2 hitting was lots of fun bc I worked hard to make money so I could buy all the 220s for every class. Tomestone gear is the same as always.

End game: Same as ARR with one less dungeon. Something needs to change.


Other: Stats are the same boring static numbers as always only DET is more useless than before. The new classes are pretty much copy and pasted but they do have unique flaire so honestly I am okay with them if it is the only way to make it so every class is useful. Housing is the same but I don't want the devs to waste time on it until they spruce up the actual meat of the game. QoL improvements are all good, no complaints.

The end. I hope I didn't forget anything.

Feels like 2.0 with higher numbers.

this
and with them keeping on unlocking Specialist crafts every patch from the previous patch this system need to die with 4.0 it just keeps getting less relevant it doesnt make sense

Story: HW story was very nice, although I feel that the continuation of the plot end of 2.X felt rushed.

Maps: I loved all the maps, they all feel bigger and are beautiful if you take your time to appreciate.

Gold Saucer: The changes for Chocobo Racing were very good and I had a lot of fun.
The last event on Gold Saucer was surprisingly good and bonus MGP made the Saucer feel alive again.
Triple Triad is still boring as some rules only applies to the player and some drop rates are atrocious.
LoV... is not fun at all. Tried twice and it felt too convoluted and slow.
I thought this was going to be like 1v1 or 4v4 pet battles.
SQEX should learn that it\\'s OK for somethings be only fun and not everything needs to be a massive grind.

Primals: I loved them all, specially Thordan Extreme!

Raid: Alex Normal mode made me not care at all about Savage. Normal mode could be a little harder tough.
Mhach was very good, loved Ozma Fight.

Dungeons: Roulette EX with only two dungeons was a low point. Dungeons needs to be revamped, it all feels so set in stone, some randomness stuff happening would be nice.

Crafting: Specialist is useless besides locking recipes. I never used specialist skills and it made no difference whatsoever.

Diadem: Was marketed as exploration for gathering and combat with lots of activities but it\\'s nothing more than a glorified hunt.

Aquapolis: I love Aquapolis, the music, the random Monsters that appear, the chance, the loot. Only thing I want is last room having a real boss fight and the map owner setting
loot rules when entering the portal.
