Anyone else feeling disappointed by Endwalker MSQ? MAJOR MSQ SPOILERS!

While I did end up enjoying the whole package when all is said and done, it felt like pretty much every major story arc was crammed into about half the time it needed almost as if we had two expansions worth of arcs in one with a major sacrifice in depth.

This was my favorite Expansion to date. I loved every moment of it. It felt the most like a classic Final Fantasy than any other expansion so far. Never before have I felt compelled not only to talk to every single NPC during the story, but I also did all the side quests as they popped up. I have never been so immersed in an expansion, and I am looking forward to what this expansion has to offer in future patches.

That said, I can see why people might be disappointed. People build up expectations after such a lengthy investment, and if things don't happen as expected, it can be a let-down. It's natural. That's why so many popular TV shows struggle so much with their final seasons. However, I think that over time these people will come to accept Endwalker for the masterpiece that it is.

I'm happy for anyone who enjoyed the story. I really am. I will say the one thing you're wrong about is expectations. I expected a good game, which we got, but as far as the story goes I knew all of the trailers and such were meant to misdirect us so I set no expectations for it. In Shadowbringers they kept me totally surprised and I wanted the same from Endwalker. If someone had told me that they were going to make Endwalker as safe and predictable as possible, then this is exactly what I would have expected.

The bottom line, for me anyway, is that they don't always hit it out of the park. But I'll be the first to commend their effort and continue enjoying the game, even if the story didn't blow me away.

I'm disappointed none of the Scions died. Especially Tataru :/
