Hooray! Everyone is happy!"

It sounds outlandish, but everything about late Endwalker and Dawntrail compared to what came before has been pretty outlandish in how stupid things have gotten, so...
The big thing that grated me a lot was their focus on NOSTALGIA. They ripped XIV a new one in Post-Patch Endwalker with that, and it's basically "insert Trial Series Story here" without any build-up for Dawntrail(mind, that build-up for DT was A SINGULAR PATCH). Also, the bar's in the f***ing ground. I don't know how much more there is to ask at this point because if they go below that, then the game's going to die harder than WoW's BFA did when they screwed up big time.
