I can't connect with the Memories of Vanadiel

[Aneshda]

If only it were just the memories of Vanadiel that I can't relate to. But there's also the Arcadion.
There isn't a single place in DawnTrail that triggers something in me. There isn't a single NPC that stands out in my memory.
Not a single emotion that I could say was funny, sad, or whatever. And there isn't a single song or specific piece of music that I remember that was particularly good.
BUT there was one monster that stuck in my mind: Drowsie, because it was so cute. I have never felt so alienated from my character and the world as I have in this expansion.

Yoshida said that this is the kind of expansion and story he's wanted to make ever since he got the reins, so it's actually our fault for liking the preceding decade and thinking that was the game's identity.

If this is the future of this game, and if this is Yoshida's deepest wish to completely destroy everything from its predecessor, then so be it. But money speaks louder than he could imagine. Another expansion like DT, and the remaining player base will be halved.

I'ld rather hear him say that about HW or SB. But if DT truely is his vision, then having cancelled my sub was the best thing I could do.
