Dawntrail is the expansion we needed after Endwalker

[Hyperia]

After seeing the trailer for Dawntrail, everything about the expansion has the feels of what is needed after what we went through in Endwalker. I am really looking forward to it even though it's not until June / July 2024 and willing to wait for it because it looks like it will be worth it!

Thanks, SE, for giving us exactly what we needed to feel better!

Edit for clarity: This is not sarcasm and my real opinion

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not lol.

Am rather hoping it's genuine, as it's an nice counter to the 'disappointment' threads.

If serious, then I'm withholding judgment at any rate. But a more grounded story is appreciated.

It shouldn't need to be a counter. People should be free to express themselves in a manner they so wish without it being a counter or a response to something else.

It's this kind of statement that is going the encourage some people to lobby around this argument in a veiled attempt to just derail it.

That's not what I meant.

What I meant (though didn't really make it as clear as I should've) is that it'd be refreshing to have a thread created specifically to discuss a positive opinion around the teaser trailer, since we already have at least two or three threads specifically discussing negative opinion of it.

It was clear that that was the definition of "counter" you meant, no worries.

Not that I see what the big sin of "making a thread to talk about something positive b/c you got tired of seeing a bunch of negative stuff" is, exactly. The inciting event that gave you the push to make the thread doesn't negate the validity of the opinion expressed in the thread. This subtext that some seem to think of "the negativity is genuine, while the positivity is just brainwashing/shilling/disingenuous" is really idiotic.

To be on topic:

I am also looking forward to this expansion, given the trailer. I like the tone. But, then, I also expect and look forward most to what I think will be a B plot regarding the void or world travel or something else interesting that will tie into whatever the new meta-story arc is gonna be. I really don't think that this expac's story will be completely self-contained and somehow just not matter once its over, like an actual beach episode. That'd be very weird. Even Stormblood, despite basically having nothing to do with Ascians in its main story, had its follow ups. If DT doesn't, then it will feel oddly isolated from the rest of the world, imo.

I hope it is genuine as I am also genuinely happy that we are taking a step back from the world ending threats for some fun and competition in essentially South America. Sure they did say that they have 2 more expansion ideas in mind already but this expansion is where I thought the story was going to go during patch 6.1. Glad they are going full swing into it.

Yes, I am genuinely happy to see this expansion, its theme and the wonderful use of colors. It feels like a wonderful, vibrant, adventure in contrast to what we experienced in Endwalker.

For me, I really needed this expansion!

I updated my original post to make sure its not mistaken for sarcasm

Thanks! ^_^

Thanks for clarifying, after being here a while it can be hard to tell I'm very happy you are excited for the expansion - I'm keeping an open mind. I am happy they are going in a new direction and really hope they nail the landing on the new story. I'm not sold quite yet, but am hopeful.

imo it's too early to say that but if you feel that way, I'm fine with that^^
As for me personally there's no Good Summer Vacation without Kaiten.
Also.. I saved the Entire Universe at lvl90 but I reach lvl100 on a Summer Vacation.. huh.. but well, I anticipated to save the Thirteenth Shard in 7.0 Dawnsinger. Though I'm kinda glad to be wrong about that since I made plans for alts that I would play for that Scenario, since that didn't happen, there is also no reason to make those alts.
But I also liked the Gameplay of Endwalker until 6.1 ..so yeah I hope they Bring Back Kaiten and then
Every Day is a Summer Vacation~
