I'm just glad we're past the Ascians and hopefully whole world going to get eaten by ascians or zodiark stuff. It has been steadily decreasingly interesting for me since the end of HW, and I'm of that minority that was completely uninterested in ShB (it's my least favorite expansion, bar none).. and no I don't really care for the "story" of XIV at all either. Like it is one of the least things I play for. I don't have to froth at the mouth and argue with some random on the internet about how stupid or bad I am or they are for liking it, I can just openly say, it ain't for me, and can't help but chuckle at the people who feel they have to convince me I'm "wrong" for having my own opinions about it. With that out of the way..

Endwalker is supposedly the end of a story that's been going on for a long time. As the amazingly out there Hillary Clinton said thousands of times.. It's Time. Yes, things felt rushed, made very little to no sense, and it was totally campy (probably the best thing about it was the extreme campiness I picked up on basically from the moment when you show up in Sharlayan and Estinien kind of struggles to think of what he's even going to say to the lady at the check in and forward from there). But it's time to just put this behind. Was it exemplary? No. Did things get the explanations and "closure" a lot felt it deserved. No. Do you think, in sincerity after a delay that Naoki Yoshida tearfully delivered the news about they are going to go back and redo the whole thing to bring that level of closure to us? No, I seriously doubt it. It is a game. It's got good features, and a little bit of something for all. I think it would greatly behoove people who need every little snippet explained in perfect clarity to just take a deep breath, push themselves away from the desk or laptop, and just look out the window at the world for a bit and just say ok. And then decorate their in game apartment or something else other than obsess over these little "lore" details or whatever else. This isn't some knock or insult at someone, but a serious PSA.. it's a game, people have poured their hearts into it.. There's no way it's gonna be perfect, but it's good, and entertaining. Enjoy it for what it is.
