I quite liked dawntrail the battle content for me was amazing and the story once we got to solution 9 started to get good. Sorry you didnt like it and hopefully they will deliver an expac for everyone to enjoy in 8.0 !

No, in fact we just discovered the secret enemy behind it all was a completely unheard of, mind shattering revelation, couldn't have possibly seen it coming:

Ascian

Didn't they literally say they want to move away from the Ascians? I am believing I heard something like that during Fanfest or Live Letters.

They said the whole Hydaelyn and Zodiark story was done. There's still several Ascians still alive out there.

Whether people like it or not, things like Ascians, the Allagan Empire, the Shards of Etheirys, and Primals will always be part of the story as it's what the lore and universe has been built upon.

The entire Ascian/Hydaelyn storyline is something Yoshida has said he didn't want to do, but it was dumped on him by virtue of succeeding Tanaka. You can see the "twist" in 7.3 as Hiroi and whoever else throwing up their hands and saying they don't know what they're doing.

Yes. But clearly they lied.

Dawntrail was supposed to be a fresh start. Well let me tell you, besides the graphics, absolutely nothing feels fresh, the formula is as stale as fossilized bread, Jobs, for years, have been playing like the previous expansion's jobs but each time they get a little bit less unique and easier. So by now, you are basically playing half a job from Stormblood.

It's doomed man. There was another thread asking what I wanted for 8.0 and I realized I haven't thought about it because I have no hope. I'm just killing time in this game out of familiarity and laziness to try something else. And that's on me.

Secretly I hope SE will save my interest but I just don't see it happening. I also did promise I'd stay for at least 7.0 if the revamped the graphics, which I have held on. It's so bad though I couldn't even bring myself to finish the tier. It's just so samey. The game feels like a sensory deprivation tank when I log in.

7.3 just released, so no.

If they largely re-design classes to feel distinct and unique again while keeping the same level of boss quality, I think it'll be a huge turn-a-bout.

If they keep going with this trajectory with a lack of care for writing, well... Idk, maybe their next MMO project is on the horizon.
