It was mostly a QoL patch, but I do think everything was decent. The new Nier raid I thought was easier than the Ivalice, which was kindda disappointing, there is only a couple spots I haven't figured out yet. The QoL stuff was great and even tho its gonna take a lil adjusting to the jobs that changed its doable.

The big disappointment in this patch was the story telling across the board.

The MSQ, was a snoresfest. The dungeon was the only really great part of it because its gotta be one of the most beautiful ones we have gotten yet. But the msq was just all filler story that could have been reduced to 2 quests. I want to know more about the aftermath of what happened and what the remaining ascians have in store for us, not how whats-his-face proved he was a good mayor and blah blah blah /skipcutscene

And let's not get started on the pixie storyline. I liked the pixies in the msq, but this whole "dreaming is magic" is so ridiculouslyu kawaii and cheesy my 5 year old would roll their eyes. They lean way too hard into the cutesy factor sometimes. Cute is fine but this crap rots your teeth.

The Nier storyline was atrocious too, up til we actually got 2P or P2 or whatever her name was, by that time I didn't care anymore, those dwarves had me so annoyed I wanted to chuck them over a cliff. The end part where we got to go through the ruins again was very good and the dwarves were ok in that part, but all that led up to it, already made me hate them, so again I was disappointed I couldn't toss them over a railing.
