You are pretty forgiving on EW. That or I'm just a cranky old WAR. EW is easily the expansion I hold in the lowest esteem possible.
In the two categories that matter most to me: gameplay and story, both left me woefully disappointed. In fact, EW story beats are some of the most frustrating in recent memory.
I dislike ShB as an expansion because of what it did to gameplay, but the story was undeniably good. Comparable to the perfection of HW. And in what should have been a glorious conclusion, EW fell victim to BS anime tropes which were beneath what the writing team showed they were capable of over the years.
I liked EW's music superficially, BUT at the same time the leitmotifs got so tired by the time you reach Close in the Distance. The melodies began to mix together and it just felt less impactful by the end because there just wasn't quite the same diversity and payoff Heavensward accomplished. The story is good but specifically by MMO standards; if it's coherent and even marginally compelling, it's already an industry leader LOL
I'm really looking forward to Dawntrail though; the music feels way more diverse from the onset compared to EW; maybe it's because Soken was forced to move beyond the usual leitmotifs of the rest of the game and produce a very new sound.
I absolutely agree on everything with you, and yeah the scythe and theme of rpr is ff11 drk also agree. unless… zerg av with kraken club heheeheheh whm hexastrike now yoship :madgeclap:
As a more casual player I really enjoyed endwalker.
Though i wonder if thays because the strength of this expansion was in its casual content
Not gunna lie I sniffled a lil when you reminded me of the good ol days in SB… “What hand is it!?!?!?!”😂😂😂😂
