The Lessons Not Learned.

[aveyond-dreams]

Endwalker had maybe five hours of actual gameplay, the rest being text boxes, cutscenes, and walking to the next NPC. We are vastly overpaying if our $53 (expansion plus one month subscription) is to be judged on release-date content alone when a 100-hour all-inclusive JRPG costs the same.

Could not have said it better myself. There is no reason to tack on a monthly sub fee on top of this.
