    7.2 MSQ is actually cromulent!

    Now, let me preface this by saying that I just finished it, and haven't got the chance to sleep on it yet.

    However, from first impressions, it's... significantly better than everything Dawntrail has delivered so far (Yes, I know the bar was last seen near the implosion site of the Titan, but still-)! The dialogue and overall writing is average, the new villain's motivations make sense, and the characterization exists, for once (How I missed Alisaie).

    Plus, we got a surprisingly well-made combat cutscene with creative uses of abilities and fully voice acted. It sounded perfectly fine in JP. And shock of shocks: Wuk Lamat, though still hovering ominously over many a scene, felt less childish and more of an actual adult.

    You even get recognized as an Arcadion champion if you've done that questline!

    It's sad that I am this glad to receive a simply pretty decent product, yet glad I still am. It's the first time in almost a year that XIV's MSQ hasn't given me conniptions due to characters making nonsensical and braindead decisions just to move the plot along.

    I can only hope the recovery of quality continues further, or at the very least, does not regress.

    It was good while it lasted.

    We'll see in the next hours' worth of MSQ in 6 months. Put your seatbelt on and sit tight.

    Below we have a transcription of what Naoki Yoshi-P Yoshida said at PAX:
    - "For some players, like me, I kind of get sleepy because it's so repetitive."

    Oh, I unsubbed for a while between 7.1 and now, and am not afraid to unsub again. I'm surprised my house didn't get demolished, but if it does, so be it.
