I saved my last bits of copium for the moment before 7.0 launch, it went something like this. Ehem ehem.

"The reason they made Endwalker into a smashed package of two expansions in one, suffering from pacing issues, fast forwarding important bits like Garlemald and weird fillery content like Labyrinthos was because they wanted to save their ammunition for Dawntrail and surprises us with something huge and different for a whole new story arc, with lots and lots of QoL and new systems."

And instead I got SMILE.
