This was so intense... So cool... Lyse is so beautiful... I love Yugiri... Story kind of peaked here, but damn... why they gotta do Gosetsu dirty like that... also thanks for the Estinien cameos...

Whoever designed The Lochs area though? I am too directionally-challenged for that mess of routes for aether currents, gdi

Really good, most peoples issues with this expansion is from not having the reading comprehension or attention span of an adult. like idk man expansions about poltical drama, rebellion, imperialism, how a systems flaws may not get better before or after occupation, and how broken systems raise broken families and broken people, and how evil is not born, but made as a product of its surroundings. All wrapped up in the tale of a man who lives for the thrill of facing someone who could give him a worthy fight, a fight for reclaiming ones homeland from occupation and raising a nation from slavery to freedom. To find ones culture and ways of life when its been removed from those people during occupation, and also to go fight an ancient superweapon and a powerful primal. Shits good!

This expansion sets out to ask a simple question: Will Lyse ever stop yapping? The answer is no. I can't believe they went from heavensward to this.

The possible reality i'm facing is that people are calling the next two expansions peak because theyre either ever so slightly better than this or because they're sunk cost into the game. Really hope that isnt the case but so far i havent been blown away by this game in any capacity and i couldnt give less of a shit about any of the characters except for a few of the heavensward ones... Mainly because thats a good expansion

I thought it was funny when they remixed an older final fantasy song for a character in this game. I was like oh! look! they're referencing a video game that they wish they were half as good as! adorable😊

Post interdimensional rift side quest edit: Holy shit

Post ivalice raids: HOLY shit 2

it has alphinaud dive and go yeaaaaaaaaaguuggh so yeah its pretty good.

ngl i'd like this more if the plotlines weren't split. ala mhigo felt incredibly underwhelming compared to doma's storyline. liked the characters and concepts though, and the post-stormblood quests were some of my favorite

The gameplay here was amazing although I didn't like the story as much as Heavensward. Honestly tho Samurai was my favorite melee dps class for a while so the endgame content and side content being peak combined with that kinda make up for any grievances I had with the story.

Also I want Yotsuyu to abuse me.
