/r/ffxivdiscussion: Japanese reception to Dawntrail MSQ [SPOILERS]

[Reinha]

Oh wow the JP comments are savage... and on point.

Please actually just get Ishikawa to write the story again.

Pretty much agree with every one of those statements. Even ARR was more fun than this lol

I hated the first dungeon. The second dungeon and first trial were actually pretty cool, but that first dungeon was sooo boring.

The second half of the game is acceptable, citizen, and you shall find more than your fair share of worthy foes.

This is good news, only the JPs opinion matters to SE.

True and based, citizen.




Sun and moon light your way.

To summarize, the problem with the story is that the succession story is less interesting to the general audience than what happens afterwards. Yet every effort was made to make the succession story as complete as possible, leaving insufficient room to give the story surrounding Section 9 the same level of polish. Too much time with Wuk Lamat and not enough time with Sphene.
