Dawntrails doesn’t feel like Final Fantasy

[Bonoki]

I'm trying to find a source but I remember hearing something about Dawntrail being made entirely by the new SE interns. Maybe it was just Sokan's protege.

Don't worry Gaius, you still hold a spot in our heads.

Or we just are bored and post on just about anything in front of our faces. Honestly haven't thought about OP at all since he left, and only now in passing because of new threads.

You are literally one of my biggest reply guys, you don't get to talk about not having people living rent free in your head.

Out of posts, but I already explained to you on numerous occasions. I reply to what's in front of me. And you have so many accounts, and spend so much time here posting, you're impossible to fully ignore. But no, as much as you'd love for me to spend my time thinking about you, I don't beyond the 10 seconds it takes me to write these replies.

I don't know why people on the internet always resort to "live rent free in your head" as trump card or something, but I'll oblige.

CBU3, Yoshi-P, FFXIV, and evil MMO overlord Square Enix all live rent free in your head desipte the constant dissatisfaction and disappointment.

I guess I'm the biggest winner today.

If anyone remembers what Tatum said in this scene lol:

Yea it really isnt the own some people think it is, atleast not always. If I see a weirdo do something weird, i'm gonna remember that.

Just like Samurai seemingly can’t be allowed to rock a signature Samurai armor look in this game

They do, though. Consider the analogous historical period Othard is in. It's not exactly in the midst of a Warring States period, and you have a Shinsengumi reference right there. That... is the iconic Samurai armor, for that time (and a majority of time overall).

lack of an interesting hook aside

This is my only real issue with the premise thus far.

Everything else is wide open, but it's seemed like MMO storytelling (all else being equal) tends to fair better with at least some sense of what kinds of conflicts may arrive and with some stake therefrom. It doesn't need to be a singular big bad or a singular theme at the end of the road, but it's usually worked out better with at least something noticeably there, even if only as a vague sense at first.

Daily Cap EDIT:

I feel like saying there isn't a hook is just subjective. The WoL isn't going to some island vacation just to go on an island vacation. We're taking part in a competition for a throne, whether we've been invited directly or we're the plus one for maybe an Archon's invitation (though we don't know yet if that isn't something entirely different).

People can find that not personally interesting but there is a hook. We don't know much about it yet and given what we've already seen in this game, we'll get more hooks once we see the full trailer.

That's fair. And maybe we'll get more soon that implies more of the 'what' and 'how' of that competition as to better imagine our part and stakes. It's just not really coming through in that teaser for me, whereas it obviously could more in previous teasers, against which I can't help but compare it.
