Endwalker is my least favorite expansion yet

[Zarkovitch]

The raiding scene got the somewhat stormblood treatments, but with lame gameplay. The story have a good ending for saga of ARR, but the new story feels weak af. The grind doesnt exist for relics, It's like playing a shetty version of genshin or honkai star rail dailies to get them. Even the introduction of new content such farmville/4 man content felt a miss shot from the devs. Hard 4 mans could give us tomes upgrades and farmville could make the grind semi-automatic the more you lvl the farmville as a reward for the tedious grind of the start. The good news there a chance they are fixing the 4 mans, but for farmville no chance they wont do it. Overall this expansion felt weak/mid and 7.0 they have to find a solution to make it "fresh" not shb 3 remastered edition.

I love how it's always the ones that literally dont play the game or play the game amongst a million other games that will tell you how great EW is

its really telling

I mean Ive played every single FF mainline game (besides FFXV), played multiple MMOs as well as other genres such as fighting games and Ive enjoyed Endwalker.

My problems with this game stem from the core design of it rather than one expansion. Its usually the babies who enjoy pinning the blame on one single expansion rather than actually being smart and see the bigger picture with this game. Kinda like you.

I dont mind people disliking EW, I have a couple of friends who dislike it but their reasonings for it are sound and doesnt involve the typical nostalgia goggles and more so in missed potential in the story and personal preference.

How can I have nostalgia goggles when I started in 2021 ?

Oh so somehow things were better in Shb era then?

Yeah, they weren't. It's probably a bit different for newer people, but the same issues were there in ShB.

I am well aware of the content in this game, I have enough friends to know how damn boring this game's content is, else I would do it myself, I literally have people streaming their content be it ultimate (which is the only interesting content) or to the most random roulettes, variant dungeons etc, and aside from ultimate, everything is a complete bore



I did a bit of content back in SHB and it felt more fun to me yes, but a bit far fetched to say "nostalgia"

Literally you have no good point of reference when the changes to this game were this recent and thats even worse. Its actually nostalgia now, just...really really short lived lol

I'm not sure how me preferring the content from SHB is nostalgia, it was just better quality ?

How is liking anything from the past actually nostalgia if the content was just better ? Also it's my opinion ? Since when can people not have opinions ?

ding ding ding

Person: "lol, people literally don't play the game"

Also Person: "I only login to decorate my house and chat with friends"

Yeah because this is the 1990's and streams are not a thing

ShB had a decent story, but the quality was not there outside of that, sorry. It's where a lot of the quality started going downhill.

This is my opinion from what I could see from SHB and EW, it doesnt go before that so I dont know how it was in the past

I think there's a massive disconnect here. You make fun of people who play other games while also still enjoying the content in this one, while not actually playing this game yourself. You use it as a chatroom and your excuse for not doing content is you have enough friends to know the content is boring, and also streamers?


I don't think anyone watching videos of this game would find that fun. The fun is doing it yourself. I'd get bored of any game like this if all I did was watch streamers....

I dont make fun of people playing other games, I'd love to know where I did that, I am making fun of people using "just play other games" as an excuse for the absolutely mediocre and boring content this game has to offer, and dont you worry about me, I have seen more than enough to know how boring it is, I dont watch "actual" streams on twitch, but I have friends streaming it on discord if I want to see the content and I am bored, and I dont like it, I find it absolutely boring, and the whole 2 min meta is an abomination.
