Creative Studio III Appreciation Thread [SPOILERS]

[EdwinChucklenuts]

Dawntrail's a blast and I sincerely hope everyone who hasn't fucked with the game since the end of Endwalker will move on to a game they do enjoy and let us enjoy ours

Side quests are mostly good. Dungeons are amazing. Music is awesome, although not always in sync with the area. Visuals for the new jobs and some of their skills... and while I'd like to prize them as a whole, this is already where I have to draw a line, since they need tome tuning (and I do not mean simplification, which is already a thing that was announced and will further add to all the negative things). Sooo, yeah, good job on the few things that they managed to do right and those elements feel awesome, I just have deep hope that all other elements of FF XIV will be held to the same standard.

they are not very creative

I loved the entire ff14 except DT, I'm not gonna do appreciation for something done wrong
I'll just praise the tiny team that made the dungeons and some of the new armor designs, and dungeons music, nothing more. They need the critiques.

The server decisions really did help for a smooth expansion launch.

Appreciate what? The same slop they've been serving? They even made a whole new game and somehow still managed to deliver the same slop.

Thanks for creating this topic

So many realistic comments here that TC didn't want made the whole thing hilarious to read

Just go back to their old abbreviation, CBU 3. "Creatively Bankrupt Unit 3".

The server's have been perfect. Haven't had any crashing, errors or long queues. So that part was great.

The scenery is also beautiful, top marks for that too.

MSQ however was a dumpster fire, and I struggle to find any part of it worth praising.

The cowboy zone I wouldn't say was super well done or anything (no, trust us, it's much faster to wait for mounts than to walk to that place that you can literally see down the road from where you're standing) but it was such a breath of fresh air after what had come before. For a moment I thought that they were finally delivering on what the expansion promised: me going back to being a simple adventurer, wandering around and helping people with their (low-stakes to the world but high stakes to them) problems...

...well, we all know how that turned out.

Aside from that, maybe the moment in the gondola where G'raha was actually a real person for a moment, instead of the mammets with a few generic pre-recorded lines all the scions sent along in their place?

Love the music, love the zones, love all the new armor designs, the server stability, the fights have been really fun, and the graphics update really glow up'd a couple of my alts.

The story, well, my feelings on that are covered in the "The Negative Impact of Poor Character Writing on the Quality of Dawntrail's MSQ" thread.

I mainly appreciate their work on ARR and Heavensward.
