  1. Definitely get what you're trying to relay. I replayed with a sprout 1 on 1 last year and their ability to cold read (and just flatly take the facts as their presented) really stood stark against how I "learn" a story.

  2. I experienced a lot of the same stuff as you (including seeing a DRK in a dungeon – for me it was in the very first dungeon – and saying to my sister: "That, whatever that job is, I want to play that, ASAP", only to find out that I had to wait till HW to unlock it lol). Without spoiling future questlines, the themes that resonated with you are there in later DRK questlines, but they don't take center-stage in the same way.

    It's also worth mentioning that they did away with job questlines starting in Shadowbringers, due to how many jobs there are in the game now. Instead they have questlines for each role (currently: tank, healer, melee, phys ranged, magic ranged… iirc in ShB phys ranged and casters were in one questline – ranged dps). But they did normal (yellow) sidequests for each job after the corresponding role quest's complete to wrap up each of the job questlines, which I forgot about until recently. So of course the first one I did was the DRK one, and really loved it.

    I'll be interested to see what you think of the next DRK quests!

  3. The DRK questlines were written VERY well and you may be interested to know the writer who wrote this also wrote ShB and EW. You aren't wrong to feel so much anger and rage at this point in the game, what's been done to the WoL is completely unfair. Forge ahead, my friend.

  5. Good sir, i recently went through the Dark Knight quests and i have to say it is a wild ride.

    The emotional trauma actually makes your MMO character feel real and not just this unstoppable emotionless being.

    Keep up the great work!

  6. There are so many deep philosophies in this game. We'll talk more about them when you're all caught up, but you'll start seeing them more and more. The writing, especially Ishikawa, is brilliant.

  8. The DRK questline (for level 50, 60, 70, and 80) are all Ishikawa's work, with the first one being one of her first big hits, and it's a fan favorite. She's on a different level from any other MMO writer, and everything she touches (including ShB and EW) is lauded with praise.

  10. I'm gonna be honest the quests from 30 to 45 really did not keep my interest but was saved by the lvl 50 quest as it was the only good one in that arc, 51 to 60 Sid was okay

  17. I personally love playing dark knight and it's story. So much so, when me and a friend finished Endwalker and the raid tier just came out. He suggested, I tried playing Gunbreaker or Warrior. Since, they were the only tanks people would let in their party. I quickly rejected the suggestion. I'm not bashing the other tanks, I haven't played them yet. So I don't know any of their stories. But I could not dropping the class right after I finished dark knight's story for the new raid tier.
