What do we have to look forward to with Dawntrail?

At this point I'm just hoping the new alliance raid is fun. If it's good I'll happily run it and enjoy myself. If it's a 24man hallway simulator, I'll take a ton of final pics of my ingame house that I struggled to get and then uninstall/unsubscribe because Dawntrail doesn't excite me, the post-EW story has been hella lackluster for me, and the gameplay isn't carrying it at all anymore.

As an actual response to the main portion of this post, here is what I am looking forward to the most for Dawntrail:
- Stormblood Story / Shadowbringer Raid Ultimates
- New savage raids with interesting fight design. I think they've been testing the waters a bit with being more creative with fights like P2S and P10S.
- A secondary option in the Scouting melee role so you don't feel "trapped" on NIN
- Further improvements/support to Crystalline Conflict and PvP in general
- More Variant/Criterion dungeons + hopefully with a new and improved reward structure
- A new large-scale area similar to Eureka/Bozja (hopefully will bring back an actual relic grind with it)
- New deep dungeon (hopefully with feedback from Eureka Orthos taken into account)
- The story (With how "side-content-y" the current MSQ patch content feels, I'm excited to start a new saga and get back to our adventurer/explorer roots)
- The potential that they'll address boring job design concerns since this expansion is more of a fresh start (copium i know i know)
- Also honestly just looking forward to people actually playing the game again. Outside of the main city areas, it can feel pretty dead and I crave the initial new adventure/expansion hype

Also keep in mind, we also don't know all of the content/changes they have cooking for the new expansion yet. We only really have the super limited information they gave us at NA FanFest. We won't really know what to expect/have legitimate worries until we get the full picture and final huge reveals that will come with JP FanFest in January (and hopefully a little more hype with EU FanFest).
