JP Official Forums are also criticizing the Dawntrail MSQ.

[LittleArrow]

Because the WoL DOES NOT WANT TO BE THAT. They want to be an adventurer. See new stuff. And not be the go-to person if shit hits the fan.

I couldn't disagree more. When Zenos asked why my WoL does what she does, she told him because she liked it with a smirk. My WoL has never denied it when others have attested to her strength or how she does the impossible things she does. She loves overcoming odds, adventure or enemy.

This is a very clear JP cliche - train, get stronger, get challenged, over come the challenge. Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, One Punch Man, Akira, almost any anime out there. I don't mind the slower and lower stakes stories. I prefer them actually. However, everything I've seen in the story referring to the WoL as a legend, she gladly abides with a fist / hand punch to underline it even.

Another thing I thought of is the song that plays at the end scene/credits sounds like a song Disney would release in there recent animated movies trying to be motivational and doesn't sound like final fantasy music at all. It feels like there running out of story and music ideas as some of the music/story themes just don't fit or feels like a final fantasy to me.

Holy shit, the circlejerk in this forum is crazy.

Is there stuff to criticize? Absolutely. But the way you guys want to make it look like everything is bad and this was the worst story of all time is actually bordering on mental health issues.

You should take a break. Leave this forum if you're not happy. Or just unsub so you won't be compelled to post

I didn't realize being passionate about the MSQ in this game is an indication of having mental health issues. God forbid people want to make some noise so that SE could improve next time.

Agreed. MSQ is the only thing some of us have. Other content offered by XIV I can find improved, or just simply better, in other MMO's. XIV was my story happiness MMO and Dawntrail/Wuk Lamat has managed to taint a lot and offer nothing else.

My point is that even the first two levels of Stormblood with Raubhan EX, the first Zenos fight and your encounter with Fordola had better pacing, was more nuanced and has more depth than DT.

Again, 'nuance' has nothing to do with why people are calling it Stormblood 2.0 so the argument makes no sense.

Im still surprised that (we) as the WoL have not told everyone how we're god killing machines. Especially against Zoraal Ja and Bakool Ja Ja. The fact that Zora had the nerve to say he could be all powerful.

TF? Get a load of this mfer who thinks he can be a god. I. AM. A. GOD. KILLER. TF YOU THINK YOU ARE, SON? YOU. ARE. NOBODY. YOU'RE NOTHING.

And even in the end, he turned out to be a nobody anyways. Not to his son, not to the people in Tural, and not even to Sphene.

Even funnier that we arent mentioned earlier as the person who smashed Manxome Molaa Ja Ja in Wanderer's palace (Hard) being both leader and second-in-command of the Silverscales. Molaa Ja Ja's purpose for crossing the sea to Eorzea was to win glory and strengthen his claim to the throne of the Aurarch, ruler of all Mamool Ja.

Like-- "hey, aint that the person who defeated Molaa Ja Ja (two headed mamool ja)"?. Really? No mention?? Like, we have slain thousands and thousands of monsters, bosses, and gods. But not 1 mention of us destroying that guy who came to Eorzea, and we sent him packing.

.....k.

You're greatly overstating our power level in relation to other people. Yes, we've killed gods... With three to seven other people. We're powerful, but we're not all powerful, and so far beyond everyone else we make them look like a nobody. All the Scions are able to keep up with us, after all.

Regardless of what you want to argue our character's power level is at, we've squared up with Calamity-causing gods like Shinryu and Omega 1v1, and killed several extremely powerful entities like the embodiment of despair with the help of Azem's crystal (Which by the way, is still our power, even if we can't pull a Megumi and use it at every minor inconvenience)

I'd say it's a pretty valid criticism, at the very least we should be shown resisting fatal blows and breaking free of mechanics while everyone else is downed. I think it would be pretty funny if we were depicted as some sort of terminator that just doesn't die, we just gets knocked down for a couple seconds and stands back up as if nothing happened.

Hell, we've already been shown that death is optional for us in Zenos' battle, we can't do it normally for gameplay reasons but storywise they should absolutely use it.

That...makes no sense. Why would someone unsub from the game because they're pointing out the forum is filled with professional complainers who can't stand others being happy?

[Batthosai]

Left in ARR,
Friend convinced me to give it a shot in EW,
Fell in love with MSQ,
Was hyped and looking forward to joining a my first FFXIV expansion launch and Dawntrail MSQ,
Got hit in the marble sack by whoever the hell wrote the story and got Wuk Lamat shoved down my throat the entire MSQ with monotone voice acting.
my thoughts: *Insert jokers ball drop off meme*

[fioravictorine]

I was worried 6.1 - 6.5 but it was still tolerable, but 7.0 takes the cake for me

I really love this game, but if it continues in this direction I'm leaving for good

And pray return to the Wuk Lamat

What's sad is how much of a missed opportunity this is. Our freakish strength could've been used as an impetus for Zoraal Ja to become desperate, pushing him to be willing to use Sphene and the Alexandrians to gain more power. He clearly didn't see Wuk as a threat (not that she was). Or defending Tuli, if we cleared out entire legions single-handedly, that was what forced him to change tactics. We could've stomped Bakool Ja Ja into the ground early on, which forced him to start using underhanded tactics out of desperation. Then the cartoony moronic characterization wouldn't have been needed. Us being nearly unstoppable terminators would actually be an interesting angle if in a way we turned into Batman like character, creating our own enemies and problems with said strength.
