How FFXIV state change from ShB to DT?

[Tunda]

How can story writer so perfectly in Shadowbringers to be as disappointment as we see in Dawntrail?

I was trying to compare each aspect each character each area each event each conflict..
it doesn't look like the same game!

How things can turn this bad?

The writers from SHB and EW got promotions, so with Dawntrail we have new writers. Simple as that.

I remember playing the DRK quests and I was just shocked at how awesome the writing was. Turns out there was a reason for that, and that reason wasn't writing the story for DT.

Natsuko Ishikawa was a legend,
I am looking forward for her next project..
until that ffxiv will still suck for next 10 years if there is no improvement to writing or gameplay aspect

I am just viewing it as a transition period. established people leave and its a rebuilding period.

hopefully they find their footing before the building collapses around them.

My tinfoil hat theory is that they made the story deliberately so bad, so that our expectations for 8.0 are especially low.

[fioravictorine]

They knew people will buy it even if its bad because it is coming off the highs of Endwalker

I am certainly not preordering the next one if its the same DT bullshit again

Look, I get it, dumping on Dawntrail's story is a popular thing to do right now and an easy way to fish for replies. You don't need to keep churning out new threads ad nauseum.

But that's the easiest way for SQE to notice that the playerbase isn't happy.
