More Content, Less Narrative

[aveyond-dreams]

I will say this-a lot of the character interactions with the cast of Endwalker were too full of fluff for my liking compared to the more meaningful dialogue of Heavensward/Shadowbringers. This however is an issue with the writing itself, I only hope 7.0 moves on from uwu G'raha Tia loves and supports you!! and Alphinaud's rambling.

Heavensward and Shadowbringers felt a lot better because there were clear dangers present and targets to reach-none of that ridiculous slice of life nonsense that was randomly thrust into various points of Endwalker's msq.

That creates a population of players that play for 1 week then stop. That is what they are catering to, which seems at odds with being an mmo.

You are welcome to play the endgame for as long as you like-so long as they don't make the mistake of frontloading with crafter and gatherer content there's likely to be plenty of options to try out. It's also ok to be done with the game and take breaks as long as you don't have a house. They do not want this to be the only game you play, in stark contrast to the design philosophy of other mmos.
