6.5 isn't 5.3 (which itself is a patch I thought had a shit ending due to wasting hours of building up to a sacrifice that was just another fakeout)
It's also not 4.3
Or 3.3
And not even with world building on par with 2.X...

People compared it to a trial quest put into MSQ, but the trial questlines from Shadowbringers and Stormblood were a lot more entertaining than this Final Fantasy IV Themed Therapy Session.

Can't even say the brightside is that it concluded. Because this crappy writing is done by the same person leading Dawntrail.
