Engaging combat? That’s also subjective but i’m curious on your opinion of how spamming 1 button 90% of a fight on healer is seen as engaging, especially in dungeons where that is very prominent and if you have a war you don’t need to heal whatsoever.

Savage tier was okay, i’m not a big raider i just do it for the rewards but also subjective. I will say the lack of a phase 2 boss theme for p4s was extremely disappointing, especially considering every other final raid boss has had such a thing i believe. No voice acting was even more of a disappointment especially considering the teaser for the raid was voice acted.
Trimmed your post.

The Endwalker story is amazing compared to sotrmblood's. This story is soooo much more focused and a great capstone to the entire story. I let the credits roll feeling completely fulfilled.

I suppose my only question was...what were you expecting? If you were expecting dungeons to be incredibly hard and inaccessible then you haven't been paying attention. The main line dungeons are STORY content, and should not be difficult for that reason.

FFXIV is RPG first....MMO second... Yoshi P's words. The game needs to be accessible to all. If you find content to easy or boring...try something harder...you might find something there that you never thought you would like before. Savage for me was my boiler plate content that I thought was never going to be accessible, and then discord opened that door for me. Now I can't stop doing savage content.

With every MMO I try to curb my expectations and start out low. Especially expansions.
*spoilers ahead*

Heavenward - exceeded expectations
Stormblood - not a good start, but a great finish. Slow burn definitely
Shadowbringers - completely exceeded my expectations. Did not expect that good of a story nor expansion.
Endwalker - A great climax that has been building for 4 entries. It felt like the story was very breakneck speed, but that makes sense if it's the ending.
I laughed (Estinein had me rolling this expansion) ( And that damn bird in Elpis giving you looks)
I cried (when that kid get's crushed by that monster in Thavnir crying out Father!....that hit me hard as I was thinking of my own kids)
I gasped (I thought gra' ha was going to die)
I cheered (when Zenos came out of NOWHERE to aid me on removing meteion as a threat as the fight is "worthy of him", I felt so much adrenaline with the Final Day fight (that music)
and then the subsequent fight with Zenos that you win, which is setting up a CRAZY future for the story to come by releasing his avatar upon death (you see when we almost kill gra'ha tia)
