Until that happens, I cannot in good faith recommend this to anyone.
And no "up until Endwalker it's great!" will raise more questions than it will convince new players to try the game out, regardless of the trial.

I don't understand what the suits are thinking, but if they don't fix DT's writing, it will fester and drag down their only profitable IP right now.

(I will not debate anyone on the story so dont waste your time)

I could've sworn we were already in that position as a community, where most players tell new sprouts to "hang on and power through ARR story because it gets good in 2.4 when it builds up Heavensward" and then "oh don't mind Stormblood MSQ, it gets really good in the post-expac near the buildup for Shadowbringers" (I am also guilty of saying the first one ).
We can survive this.
