Finished act 2, pretty fun game so far (and amazing music), waiting to see the narrative peaks of the game. The cast is charming and funny, the atmosphere is comfy, and there's also some good drama on there. The universe is also very intriguing, there are a lot of mysteries to unveil.
Uptade : Act 3 was excellent, people didn't lie about the quality of Eden Treaty, and chapter 4 was amazing, probably the most impactful chapter of the game in my eyes
Update 2 : Final Volume was amazing, such a intense and emotional final to the arc.
Update 3 : Some aspects could have been better (mostly the plot regarding Kaya) but regardless, Vol 4 was pretty good, RABBIT Squad (especially Miyako) is a lovely group with a very endearing situation, and the thematics in this chapter (about corruption of the human mind because of bad conditions) were very well treated.
Ranking of volumes so far :
- Where all Miracles Begin (Vol F): 11/10
- Eden Treaty (Vol 3) : 10/10
- The Rabbit of Caerbannog (Vol 4) : 8/10
- Clockwork Flower Pavane (Vol 2) : 7.5 or 8/10
- The Foreclosure Task Force (Vol 1) : 7/10

Finished main game + DLC Grimm/Hidden Dreams/Godmaster (Beat Pantheon of Hallownest, 112% done, Path of Pain done), fantastic game, very complete and fleshed out, the combat has a lot of nuances even if not that apparent the first time, the exploration is amazing, the game has also a lot of charm. Just a shame that plateforming is a bit clunky, the game is less interesting when it's purely focused on it (everything related to White Palace). Glad to have played it.

Still playing, up to chapter 14, first chapters were really boring but it picked up, the lore is very interesting and all the climax cutscenes starting from chapter 8 are amazing, they really make the characters shine.
Just a shame that this game is a bit tiring to play since the gameplay loop is so repetitive, and I think a lot of the thematics of the game are a bit too shonen for my tastes (lot of "moving forward")
Update : The game dropped a lot in quality starting from chapter 26 (even if it still had a lot of flaws before but they weren't enough to stop my enjoyment), as a game but also writing-wise, at least it picked up with an excellent ending, the journey while very rough at some points was worth it

Finished one branch of each path, very good game even if it can get really frustrating, but that's part of the experience
5
Lovely story and very well narrated, a lot of heart in its theming, lot of charm visually speaking and the setting was a breather. I disliked the fedex/backtracking in it but it's still a great game in my opinion, and a must-play for people wanting a very good indie narrative-driven game
6
My "favorite" expansion but I can't say I was impressed. Lot of padding, the highs are good but I don't vibe with the theming, it has nothing heartwarming or fascinating to me. At least it had a very distinct atmosphere I enjoyed, some characters are good, glorious music a lot of times.
7
Bloated but such a good final, very good conclusion to the trilogy in a way while being a prequel. It could have been even better though if Monolith Soft was less timid about the fanservice, it was a bit frustrating at times to not see them being really commited to it, and I think the game is drawned out unnecessarily. I also didn't really cared that much for the main casting except Shulk and Rex, even if A and Glimmer were okay.
8
The most consistent expansion but nothing in there impacted me even if the plot is nice enough. Feels very bland overall. Very fun dungeons/trials overall though
10
Has part of the most highs of FF14 but I really disliked some parts of the story and I don't vibe with the theming of FF14, the characters are still boring to me overall even if they have some nice scenes at times
11
For before 2.0 since it was not released yet
12
Carried by the patches containing some of my favorite scenes of FF14 this far (and the Azim questline). The MSQ is overall a downgrade compared to Heavensward, and this game has the most boring revolution I've seen in a video game.
13
Very forgettable and boring plot (except for some points of the MSQ and the last patches) but fun as my first MMO ever

I'll let you know when I'll finish it, I just read the prologue of Eden Treaty yesterday (and it was already intriguing) but I think I'll take a little break of several days since I'm a bit burned out by gachas (not my best idea to start Blue Archive not long after completing the main story of Revue Starlight Re Live)
