"A smile better suits a hero..."
This expansion made me obsessed with this game. Slow at the start but very very enjoyable, especially as someone who's fave final fantasy archetype is dragoon. New voice actors are pretty great, and the plot is alot more direct and to-the-point than a Realm Reborn. Although some major characters are absent due to ARR's ending, they are kinda treated like they don't exist for a while. But despite the Scion shaped hole in my heart ARR left, I really fell in love with the new cast and enjoyed the climactic story, despite the MMO gameplay not being my forte.
I don't see the postgame, dragonsong, listed as it's own thing, and my rating for that is probably 4.5 stars.
it elevated the plot of Heavensward that made me not want to put the game down, and took it to an even grander and frankly unforgettable conclusion, boasting some of my favourite cutscenes in arguably the entire series. Not to mention my fave character returning with an awesome fit, along with many other members of the cast from ARR. Cool new areas, classes, and mounts were unlocked, and tons of minions given through main quests, which I love collecting. The changes in the story if you play as a Dragoon are super cool too.
If it wasn't for XVI, this would be the gayest final fantasy.
Gameplay: 6/10 - laid back mostly, not super interesting but still entertaining.
Plot: 9/10 - Not earth shattering but rlly good and pulled the pace
Pacing: 6/10 - not great but a hell of a lot better than ARR
Visuals: 6/10 - Looks kinda ick but it dosent explode my computer so that's 10/10 to me
Conclusion: 8/10 A to the L to the E-X-Ander's
