Questions about your reception to Dawntrail

[Tsurayu]

Of the pre-launch periods I've seen since I started playing the game in StB, I feel like this one is the first with this many people either uneasy or straight up apathetic to the newest expansion. I haven't seen reactions as polarizing on the short time I've been using the forums, so I got curious.

Hopefully it'll be a good way for Squenix to gather data on both what is keeping the satisfied party here, and what is pushing the unsatisfied party away.

• When did you start playing?
• Will you play DT at launch, and are you looking forward to it? Why or why not?
• Did the media tour sway your decision, and do you think there's any way you'll change your mind before DT actually comes out?
  

I started playing during the Early Access of A Realm Reborn.

Yes. I will play Dawntrail at launch, and I am looking forward to it. Sure, there are some battle/gameplay changes I'm disappointed by, too, but overall I'm far more excited than I am disappointed by a few minor gripes.

And no, the media tour didn't really do anything to sway my decision one way or the other. To be honest, I've always found each expansion media tours to be the most pointless form of advertisement. It's little more than an invite for the 'cool kids' and what they get to show us after embargo is usually either not that interesting to begin with compared to what SE has already shown off in a previous LL, or something that is so old that it has changed by the time we have access to the full game.
