probably the best expansion we've had since legion!!! seriously, i haven't been this excited about wow in a long time

as always the sound and art teams carried, but the leveling is probably the most fun i've had in any expansion, dragonriding feels absolutely incredible too. honest to god i want to be able to ride my dragon isles dragons everywhere else.

it's too early to say how the story's gonna be, but so far i have hope! i'm really liking how they're handling wrathion so far in particular. there's clearly tons of thought put into the worldbuilding, you can ask just about every named npc questions about their own personal history, like the meaning of their name and whatnot!

overall this expansion just feels like blizz is finally listening? sorry, this is just one big word vomit, but my patch 10.0 takeaway is that it's so refreshing.

A rare case where if the villain found out we lived in a society they might not have been jokerfied

Ten years worth of storytelling sticking its landing. Some weird pacing and one particularly irritating villain leave Endwalker a notch below Shadowbringers in my heart, but it maintains the general standard of quality set by its predecessor and makes good on the ending that this story deserves. All in all, a job very well done.

this counts as therapy i think

What the fuck, they topped Shadowbringers. Yoshi P, you beautiful son of a bitch.

Absolutely destroyed me emotionally 11/10

PEAK FICTION. SOMEHOW BETTER THAN SHADOWBRINGERS HOW DO THEY DO IT

Like gurren laggan but instead of being Simon the Digger its Simon the Carpenter

This is one of the best games I have ever fucking played. I felt joy, laughter, pity, honest to god existential dread, inner peace, and even love for the bits of 1s and 0s on my screen. I am not an MMO fan, but FFXIV has done what no other game has managed to do, make me tolerate paying a 15 dollar monthly sub to play a game for more than one time. Cannot recommend Endwalker enough.
