Dawntrail is the worst expansion yet

[Larirawiel]

Ohhh, they updated the player models a little bit. Better lighting and better facial textures but the low polygon models are the same.

But it looks better then the old version.

I was in utter disbelief at that trailer. The god forsaken scions are still there, and the whole thing just gives a vibe of a anime beach filler arc. No villain, nothing of substance at all, even the music was terrible.

I love Treasures of Aht Urhgan!

I wouldnt be surprised if they have the Whitegate/Al Zahbi themes playing or available as Orchestrion rolls.

I mean it has the unenviable task of following up on the dumpster fire that was Endwalker, which means starting new plot threads that need to resonate with players. My biggest fear is that XIV is about to become the Saturday morning cartoon MMO, where each expansion wraps itself up and we don't get any main scenario overarching storylines.

Seems the safest bet for them considering the slew of folks here who hate EW and what's it's done.

I’m happy I’m not the only one who listened to the music and was like ‘this isn’t…. good.’

The up and up though is I don’t have to impatiently await the song’s full release like I did with previous expansions.

I don't know why you all complain, Dawntrail looks amazing to me, at least the possibilities, I just love the setting in the new world, that's South America clearly and I hope it eventually expands to the whole continent.


I really like the old temples stuff, the dense forests which should represent the Amazon and hopefully will take us all the way to the Patagonia as the new cold region, it looks like Dawntrail might become my most favorite expansion so far, I just hope SE won't disappoint.


As a side note, about the graphics they really need to upgrade the character models, I think everyone will have at least PS5 performance soon enough so they can increase the graphics quality even further.

what matters is the gameplay idc about the location or how the story goes. Yall cannot critic the expansion until it release and being done.

Game needs a hell of a lot more than just pretty backgrounds, there needs to be engaging content that keeps you busy and a good story, so far it looks like Dawntrail will have neither. Just playing around in the sun with the scions.

Dawntrial does not roll off the tongue well at all.

Dawntrail sounds good to say, but when I refer to it I'm supposed to say DT? That just... whatever, we've had other bad ones I suppose.

Doomsayers are super pumped about launch day!
