It was pretty good, I likes a lot of the scenes and I really grew attached to Papalymo and Yda by the end so I got a little emotional too. The new primal design was... Interesting to say the least but it was unique so it's not bad. Though, I do not like Gosetsu at all, and that makes me a little concerned for Stormblood. Honestly, I don't really want to do Stormblood because I haven't heard too many good things and the setting isn't as interesting to me, and I am really excited for Shadowbringers and I want to get there as fast as possible, but I'll probably enjoy it. All in all, great stuff.

Holy based? Speaking of based, can we get a moment of silence for my man Papalymo? His sacrifice solidified him as one of the GOAT's.
It'd be pretty neat if the trend of the x.5 patches being the best ones continue. And sure, I understand why many consider 3.3 to be the best one of the HW patches, but I love how dark the first half of this patch was, and the second half's epic battle between Omega and Shinryu was satisfyingly intense.
The character development for Yda.. er, I mean, Lyse, was also quite nice to hear, with her brief backstory being quite bittersweet. This patch wasn't as smooth of a transition into the next expansion as 2.5 was, but that hardly matters when I was this enthralled. I'm still keeping my expectations somewhat low, seeing as Stormblood is the black sheep of the expansions, but hopefully that works in my favor, because I still can't help but feel excited now that I've gotten this far.
