I'm working on catching up too and I also did not like 7.1, but 7.2 is significantly better. The bar was already low so it's not amazing, but... yeah after 7.1, I was seriously contemplating becoming a cutscene skipper.
its not bad.... but its not good. I don't really feel taken seriously by the way the writing is done
anyway. i keep my rambles to @oocdews.bsky.social but it IS a personal account too so yknow, watch out (wish we had locked accounts already) but I just kinda wish I opted to draw instead lmao
I don't think I've ever played post expansion content I actually enjoyed in FFXIV. For me it's always been, by far, the worst part of every expansion. I didn't LOVE dawntrail to begin with so my expectations are already low. 😭
honestly, while there was plenty to enjoy from dt, it was kinda unimpressed through it, and since the story didn't really make me invest in stuff, I cant really bring myself to care about a lot of things in the patch content :/
That's also where I was! It was FINE, but it was just fine. It was impossible to top the ending of the massive decades long story arc that was SHB and EW, but I still felt there were other directions they could have gone that I would've enjoyed more.
what im so hung up on is how while ik I should expect great stuff from a post msq story, especially one in a completely new arc, the arcadion raid story still made me care more and be excited for whats next as opposed to the actual msq 😭 if that was the msq it would have been so much more fun...
i like koana but that backstory "reveal" after being heavily alluded to for that entire portion felt like a slap in thee face, like. they could not have made it more obvious and then they made people act So shocked about it, its mental 😭
