A beautiful and grand conclusion. Base game story was great, patch story was absolutely dreadful, and content outside of the raids was very middling. Doubled down on class homogenization we got in Shadowbringers which I didn't like very much. Hoping for Dawntrail to bring it all back.
FF14 is the best mmorpg at the moment.
It has an immense amount of good content, great lore, the most complex raids and the best soundtrack of any mmorpg.
The only downside I would put is that it can be overwhelming for newbies right now by the amount of things available to the game, but if you adapt is amazing.

everything in this expansion is either the most braindead normal mode content or Oops All Limit Cuts with nothing in between. i hope to god the people who used to make EX trials get to make some part of dawntrail because if i have to do another 24-man where the boss does a 20 second windup just for a knockback mechanic i'm not gonna make it to 8.0.
Playing Shadowbringers and Endwalker back-to-back within the span of a month has done irreversible and devastating damage to my psyche. I'm not sure how one can top this run in future expansions, but I guess we'll see.
The plot lacked some depth to me, and a lot of actions felt like they were unnecessary or lacked proper explanation. More personally, I wish we got to see more of Elpis, this zone had so much potential for further exploration and stories. Still, the expansion was very enjoyable, and is overall carried by the charming dialogue, beautiful ost, and the emotional payoff of this journey.
I now embrace the eternal Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus brainrot.

i don't think i can describe in words what an incredible experience ffxiv was. i am not (or at least wasn't) an mmo person but this is maybe one of my favorite games ever and i can't wait for dawntrail
Base MSQ: 10/10
Pacing issues aside, that last zone and the finale is something else. They'll never be another ending like it. An absolute rollercoaster. You'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll cheer. A final act for the ages as the curtain draws down on the play, as a certain character would put it.
A perfect conclusion to FFXIV's decade long story.

An amazing conclusion to the current story, i am beyond excited to see what the future holds for this game
