Thread: My own thoughts on 7.3 patch (Spoiler)

I really liked that one boss where you were forced to fight on your own, the boss was fun too!

though I also actually found the msq decent, I've been pretty checked out with it though.

Credit where credit is due, this patch is a major step in the right direction. The story is an overall improvement over the MSQs and previous patches. The minigames you had to solve and interact with in order to progress the story definitely made the whole progression more interesting than merely presenting facts to you, as they did in MSQ.

The dungeon was good, and the bosses presented some interesting mechanics that I found quite enjoyable.

The trial was also very good, though I could not help but find myself continuously comparing it to Zeromus, because of the overall similar setting and even some of its mechanics.

However, I find it disheartening that we only got these improvements, especially in terms of the story, after multiple patches, when we consider that this was also the team that wrote shb and ew. Granted, the team has changed, but our expectation of good writing has not.

I thought it was okay, definitely way better than the earlier patch.
The interactive parts were good and the Smile seemed a bit more appropriate timing wise, however because of the previous time it was used it unfortunately gave me a bad flashback.

Not really sure how to feel about the Calyx Collaborator, not surprised though - but I'm not a buff lore/story enthusiast so I'll leave that judgement to the experts.
