    I don't like Dynamis, everything else is ok. But introduction of dynamis conception looks like crude decision. Like if screenwriter suddenly realised that ancient ascians were too powerful for every confrontation, so he quickly come up with new type of hidden energy totally uncotrollable by ascians.

    But despite this I like Endwalker in general, i had good part laugh, imbued with power moments, was surprised and even shed couple of tears.

    It doesn't seem crude to me, but that's because we've seen things prior in the game that it suddenly explains. Limit Breaks for one, another being emotions powering Dark Knights. It's also somewhat of a real life phenomenon, where people are temporarily able to do things that shouldn't be possible, like lifting a heavy tractor to help somebody get out from underneath it despite never having the strength to do it before. All they've really done with the introduction of Dynamis is give a name to a phenomenon...which also fit kinda brilliantly for how it would be the downfall of the Ancients, they didn't exactly have heavy emotions like people normally do, like they were stifled.

    The concept of thoughts, emotions and feelings shaping reality has been a thing since the 1.0 era. Primals, for example. They do kinda just gloss over it with the earliest ones, but by the time we get to Ramuh and Enkidu, and ESPECIALLY with Shiva, the concept is pretty well-established. It's just that it has always been some background thing, but it has been there. Dynamis just takes it to a much greater extreme.
