Post-Honeymoon SHB thoughts?

[JisKing98]

So now that what I consider the honeymoon phase is over, what are your honest thoughts about shadowbringers? Yes I know I could’ve waited till 5.1 but I personally feel like this is the best time to ask.

I... uh...
Is it bad I'm rooting for the Ascians now? As long as I can keep my collection of buddies, let natural selection decide the rest?

Ehhh... yeah, kinda. The whole thing about ending all life in the multiverse except for themselves is a bit of a non-starter.

As long as I can keep my collection of buddies, let natural selection decide the rest?

I don't think the Ascians would be OK with that.

Want to play through the story again. Sad ng+ won't include 5.0 at the beginning.

Dungeons were all fun. Raids are fun. Exs were good. Currently leveling my crafters slowly, while easing up other combat jobs.

My feelings exactly.

awww. Seems I've missed a lot of info from that last live letter. I was really looking forward to re-running the story.

I loved the shift in the story's tone and content. I think it feels a lot more like an old school Final Fantasy game with more interesting villains.

That said, I've run the dungeons, leveled a few jobs, first few floors of Savage, done some gathering, and I'm going on break for a few patches to try out a certain other MMO. I'm bored.

Aside the story being amazing and WAY better than SB.

At the moment, the endgame is the same as SB. Ex primals, leveling, tome grinding and savage.
Same ol' ffxiv but that's why I still play.

Have to see how things change in 5.1 though. With the new gameplay thing, hope its not a train wreck like how eureka was on the start.

I am in this dilemma. I only log in 1 time or 2 times a week now.... and I blame Fire Emblem for that. But I am really that I can feel like I log in, do raids, ex trials, or whatever during that time and still feel like I am progressing my character. I just wish I can have an app to send my retainers on ventures while I am at work.

Story was super amazing and wish I can experience it again in NG+
Music was absolutely phenomenal.
GNB my favorite class so far.

I am over all super happy with it. I keep in touch with my FC in discord so I don't appear to be just someone who randomly logs on. But unlike Warcraft I do not have this absolute feeling that I need to keep up with the current times and I like that.
