Kinda tired of seeing dawntrail hate, we get it. It wasn’t for you, but there’s a lot of us who just wanna play and enjoy the expansion without hearing how much you dislike it especially unwarranted.

Lmao are you serious? Voices that would criticize xiv have been literally silenced for years. It’s shit that dawntrail is mostly being criticized on stuff that does not matter like the voice actress (who was admittedly terrible but didn’t deserve the hate) and not about the fact
That it’s terribly written (worse than shb and ew that were already really bad) and the gameplay just keeps getting worse and worse. They have made the game into second life and destroyed completely the lore and what made the game special in terms of actual gameplay, we got shortchanged
On pretty much everything to the point they basically just released the same thing over and over again, zero original content that wasn’t a cutscene, the awful lying about dev times and direction, the insane shop policy for a subscription game with paid expansions…
No I think it’s being criticised unwarranted during times where people are just vibing and chilling, I get people dislike it but when people just wanna relax we don’t need to keep hearing the same thing over and over. If I’m with my friends, I don’t really feel like hearing it whilst I play
In this context I welcome it because it’s a discussion and I enjoy hearing peoples opinions. But if people are relaxing and having fun don’t ruin the mood with things you’ve already mentioned the day before. It just sucks the life out of the mood
On this I can relate, I can get why too much negativity can further ruin your experience. I just understand people that can’t shut up about it because they still wish for change. All my friends stopped playing the game because of how it went and then I stopped too, it’s such a shame.
the way you even start your argument...
some of your point are very valid, personally i really strongly disliked EW and i'm glad it's over, so let me enjoy DT now.
the fact the devs do the same mistakes over and over and "the game becomes worse" has nothing to do with DT but with the devs.
(Thank you! ☺️
I cannot wait to see more of her growth and by the end of the story I hope she achieves all her goals AND THEY FINALLY DO SOMETHING FOR ZJ PLS GODDAMN LIKE A MEMORIAL OR SOMETHING)
I'll be honest, Dawntrail didn't really land with me. But I also appreciate we're going into the first season of a new arc and it's still finding it's feet.
I'm positive the second expansion of this arc is going to be an absolute banger. Especially if we're going to Tropical Dragon Potato Land.
I absolutely loved dt. I played it for what it was supposed to be: an adventure and the start of a new ten year story, not the climax of one like shb and ew was. But yeah, people will keep giving their opinion unprompted. I made a dt-positive post and you best believe ppl showed up to talk shit.
I don’t mind hearing peoples opinions but if they say something one day and then repeat it the next day it’s like ok we got it the first time let’s just go raid 😂
Haha, you're kinder and more patient than me ❤️ I just find it very rude. Imagine if it was in real life; you're sitting there talking with a friend about something you love, and then a stranger walks up to you saying they hate it and that it's bad. It'd be like wtf 😂
It gets exhausting! And I know this topic itself has driven more attention to it but this is exactly the point, I’d rather people have it here than when I’m in game trying to raid
Same... I start to feel like I played a completely different game because I don't get all the hate. A lot of those people didn't even pay attention to the story... Some minor things I didn't like but the majority is amazing. Right there next to EW as second fav for me. Shb is still top 🥰
DT does have a low of flaws but I try to give it some grace. They had a great premise and interesting new characters, I'm disappointed that a lot of it felt rushed or went underutilized; but ultimately it is what it is and I accept it. Doesn't mean I didn't have fun, and I'm excited to the post-msq.
and see this is the type of critique I think we all welcome (I don't speak for all just me) it wasn't perfect!
I agree there was a middle part where I feel we needed a bit more to the characters, and I'd have loved to actually see them do their trials instead of waiting.
I've enjoyed the expansion's raid/dungeon content but the story is really bad. Yoshi-P always talks about the importance of player feedback, I think it's good to be vocal about what we like and dislike.
People are free to dislike it, but it's really telling when their biggest hate towards it is "IM NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER SO WHY SHOULD I CARE?!" Like bruh, main characters don't stay that forever. Time marches on and we need to impart our wisdom on the next generation of heroes.
We went on a well deserved vacation to learn about another culture, and became a mentor to a scrappy up and comer who needed our experience to save her country/family. That's nowhere else our path could have led and it makes sense narratively.

(I lowkey now realise this is why people don’t like me because I resonate with her a lot)

I'm not saying people have to suck on the toes of dawntrail by any means, it's just the whole sitting in limsa and hearing
"Dawntrail/wuk sucks" and not wanting to discuss the topic constructively? like they hate it and you HAVE to know it.
Not to sound like an old man, but games were more fun before everyone had to post a 10+ minute video about them on the regular.
I mean I loved the dungeons, the new mechanics, I loved the raids! I even got into end game content this time! I loved the vibrancy of it all
*this lowkey makes me miss old gaming especially the ones you got for free in a magazine, the DEMO CDs that had all the random games*
The little strip club area I should never have witnessed as a kid 😂

I liked not being the main character for once it was like a holiday that went wrong 😂
