There are as many opinions as there are people and everyone is entitled to have their own, just because a lot of people don't like something doesn't mean that they are an echo chamber and that any of them are wrong, opinions are subjective.

I started playing FFXIV a little bit over a year ago so I didn't have enough time to build up any real nostalgia in me and after finishing all the MSQ parts, I also think that Dawntrail ended up being a VERY weak part of the game. To be honest it was the first part of the MSQ that made me want to skip some cutscenes, but I decided not to do it, just to make sure I still understood what was going on. Mind you, I was not a fun of Stormblood at all, it was just not my cup of tea, and even during Stormblood I didn't find myself so straight up bored and annoyed and I met some new characters there that I actually cared about. Additionally, I didn't read any opinions about Dawntrail until I finished the MSQ so I was not biased by anything and I for sure was not "echoing" anyone else's opinion. From what I know, in my FC that has some new players and some veterans, there's not really one person that genuinely likes Dawntrail, there are some that think that it is so far an okay-ish expansion, but no one actually truly likes it. Maybe besides dungeons and raids, I enjoyed these as well. And I can see these opinions being reflected by how many people in my FC closed their subscriptions very fast after finishing MSQ or log in only once a week to do raids and that's it.

Tl;DR nostalgia and bias are not the problem here and everyone is entitled to have their own opinion.

Happy Yuletide to everyone!
