    Arcadion Appreciation

    I've let my opinions about the MSQ already be known in that particular thread, but I also feel that this must be pointed out - so far the Arcadion experience (as a non-savage player) has been fantastic.

    From the setup of a wrestling tournament arc, to the entrance of the M4 boss, the fight, the music, the reveal-

    I care more about those 3 sisters and the rest of the Arcadion fighters than literally anyone that was introduced over the MSQ. This isn't a world ending threat, it's an immoral mastermind in a position of power putting a few- what, dozen right now? People at danger for their own gain, and I am more determined to kick their teeth in than any other villain in this expansion.

    This. This is how you write lower stakes stories. I'm so glad at least one of the writers is cooking. And massive props to the art team (music, cutscenes and visuals).

    Seconded. The Arcadion has been the highlight for me in DT so far.

    The Legends of the Titanmen lives on, a shining example of the power of compassion and the ability of people to make a difference in the world. A reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope, as long as there are heroes like the Titanmen who dare to do good deeds in Eorzea.

    Love the Arcadion. Love the story, the whole WWE setup, the fights, the music, and I also am more than ready to go kick the behind of whoever is hurting my girls, and even for bee chick and bomber dude because they're victims of it, too.

    I hope the quality continues for the rest of the raids because these are probably my favorite in the game so far

    I love the announcer thing they have going on the fights. It's really cool to hear him say when everyone dodged an attack and such.

    I also like that every fight had a different theme and music.

    The entire expansion could have been around the Arcadion arc and I would have been satisfied. The only glimmer of promise in this entire expansion.

    The Arcadion is awesome. A storyline thats engaging, fights that are fun, bosses that are memorable, and a soundtrack thats banging. I hope Square Enix keeps using that as inspiration going forward.

    I think that if some more lighthearted story is what they want to go for, Arcadion has it. There are stakes in the background yet the bosses are fun and not out of place, despite how silly they look. And the intrigue got me curious.
    Overall really dig the atmosphere.

    It's so good. Literally the only thing I'm looking forward to at the moment is the second tier. Yaana's story is basically a slimmed down version of Wuk Lamat's and so far it succeeds where the MSQ failed in a fraction of a fraction of the time.

    i like neither the wrestling setting nor solution nine overall. also there hasnt been a lot of story to those raidquests. and yet i do care more about black cat than pretty much any other character at the moment
