The ending to Stormblood...

[DarkMasamune]

It was a bit...

Empty ? The ending came abruptly, but oh well. I'm still hyped for Shadowbringers, but I thought they'd do something like the last expansions, where they teased Au Ra with Yugiri's appearance before HW or the samurai job with Gosetsu's fighting style before SB.
Technically they did teased Viera with Fran in the Return to Ivalice raids but I mean MSQ-wise.

I just find it funny that they keep the elezen's identity hidden even thought it's pretty obvious it is OG Zenos in there.

Nevertheless, still good, just a bit flat, but we'll see the next episode soon enough

Those credits go on way too long. :/

ugh again ANOTHER duty with a stupid meter you need to kill everything in like 1 minute, or fail the whole thing, why all the new ones have that awful mechanic? the meteor in the steppes had the same, if i don't do enough damage it means i have to rise my whole item level which could mean weeks of dungeons for that -_-
why even putting a timer on the whole fight at 30 mins or so if you're going to be putting a 1 minute or fail timer inside of it?

The most anti climatic MSQ ever.
There was exactly 0 plot threads cleared or any sort of advancement.
And I really loved the off screen deus ex machina who saved the day yet they didn't bother to show him doing so or his face.
Gods I hope the expansion won't be like that.

Why does Hien, master samurai, only know 4 abilities and not one of them is a combo action?

It's a preview of the simplified gameplay coming in 5.0

I... I really love that the *off screen deus ex machina* guy... I really do! BUT...
I hope they give him a proper role, rather than 911ing.
It was good to see him though... It's... complicated...

I liked the instances but overall it was really short to be held back for its own patch.

Why does Hien, master samurai, only know 4 abilities and not one of them is a combo action?

Two reasons:
1. He's not the hero of the story, you are. All the NPCs are shown consistently to not have abilities anywhere near approaching the Warriors of Light, except for the villains.
2. Perhaps more importantly, they're afraid of overwhelming people with a job they haven't played. Did you see how many people complained when they had to play Y'shtola with four abilities just because they had to heal?

1. Whilst valid in theory - not in practice. In Eorzea, a samurai like that would be a liability on the battlefield and nothing more than cannon fodder. This is Hien we're talking about - not some grunt.
2. As you can see from my post count I haven't been a frequenter of these forums so no, I hadn't seen this. But there's a big difference between hand-holding and flat out mollycoddling.

Well it was a lot, and the players are bad!

Welcome to the forums though.
