Like, I cannot stress my love for FFXIV enough. The game helped me through a rough point in my life, and has influenced me greatly. It taught me I enjoy helping others and inspired me to undertake volunteer work in irl emergency services. I have and always will champion this game as one of the finest examples of its genre and an industry success story.

And this is why the last few days have been full of confusion and frustration for me, and any true fan of the game will tell you the same. It feels like this expansion was written by a completely different person compared to the previous ones. I could write paragraphs on my problems with the expansion so far, but most points boil down to Wuk Lamat.
