Sure seems like a lot of PR speech again and more lies about them "implementing a lot of player suggestions" and pushing the dumb DT "vacation" angle.

Funniest part though is how the "Garlemald was never planned" people get finally silenced in this by, I quote:

"We planned to use 5.0 till 7.0 to end our decade-long Hydaelyn and Zodiark arc and bring everything to its climax. Originally, 6.0 was meant to focus on the Garlean Empire. However, 5.0's reception exceeded our expectations, so we decided to condense the Empire's storyline to allow for greater developments."


I frigging knew Endwalker was a rushed smushed package to rush to the end. They should've taken their time and done it in two expansions. No wonder the pacing was so off.
