Absolutely amazing from start to finish. Loved the new areas, loved that the cast was mostly the original characters, Absolutely loved their new looks and also loved Thancred's character development.
The music was the best thing about this expansion. It was definitely the best for now. The battle theme, the dungeon boss music, the music of the Paglth'an dungeon was so incredible, and honestly that dungeon as a whole was literally my favourite ever because the cutscenes were incredible. (Definitely not because Estinien is there and we can hear some of his voicelines too). The fact that there is a lot of FFVIII music too made me soo happy. The Extreme Shadowbringers version is soo so good and I'm sad it only plays in the Extreme raid.
Normal raids story was really fun and Nier raids are so messy but I do like them even if I died a lot because of all the new mechanisms. The dungeons and trials overall were quite unforgettable.
Now I wasn't that much a fan of Ryne even if she was somewhat relatable but I feel like she kept crying, I've only seen her character development in the normal raids? I don't know. But I'm not giving 5 stars because of her. And also I kind of disliked the predictability of what was going to happen next in most of the story (Go in a new region to kill lightwarden yay!).
My favourite place was definitely Il Mheg (i call it scotland). Not necessarily for the pretty flowers (or urianger) but it just had a scotland vibe as a whole with the landscape and accents of the faeries. Also loved all these creatures, especially the Amaros, I had to pet them all.
As usual, post expansions are better and post shadowbringers was incredible. I kept laughing at the scions interactions and I was really happy to see Estinien again. He's so me. He's so funny.
special mention to gaius quest line, it almost made me cry
Fandaniel is so insane and the VA did such a good job I'm actually annoyed at him.
ps: definitely did not go feral at urianger and estinien. also definitely not discovered my love for catboys. (pls protect g'raha).
