Zwei

Been playing since ARR, this expansion is a big letdown story wise. It was bound to be hard continuing the story after we essentially defeat the big-bad of the universe in Endwalker, but Dawntrail is ARR level of story writing and pacing. The first 65% of the story are glorified beast tribe fetch and collect quests. Then the latter half almost feels like a fanfic with how crazy it gets. The story banks on you caring about the newly introduced characters, but you simply don’t because they do a poor job of characterizing them. And not to spoil, but the final boss has too many parallels to Meteion.
