Like, sure, okay, it was a "major let down, end of" and all that jazz. But you guys are still here o: After 3 patches, and I assume it'll continue, yeah? Why? :| Do y'all think a miracle will happen and Square will change the course of their writing which they clearly haven't shown any indication of doing?
Honestly?
No, not much. Bits and pieces but overall Endwalker was a fairly disappointing expansion for me and the only thing that kept me subbed after trying the content they released, being disappointed and not doing it on my 2nd char again was raiding with my static.
I'm currently just using the remaining time of my sub to get the last few p8s reclears for my static but it's already running out and once we have them, I'm gone. I've explored alternatives and I'm happy with them, whatever flaws they have don't bother me but I have plenty of things that are a lot of fun there.
The story wasn't the deal-breaker for me, it was Endwalker as a whole, but the "defining feature", the "selling point", the "reason to play FFXIV" being so disappointing for me sure helped in making this decision. It just reminds me of a Mary Sue self-insert fanfiction by now with an extra serving of friendship and comfort characters. But I have plenty of other reasons on top of that to stop caring about the game.

I've given it plenty of fair chances, tried the content they released, tried to give changes that didn't sound good the benefit of the doubt.
But the game is no longer for me, I've accepted it and moved on.
There will be no miracle, it's fine, I'll spend my money elsewhere.
