In todays episode I get in my developer arm chair and re-write Dawntrail in the way I would have enjoyed it.

Regarding emet selch yeah I know hes not sundered so screw it, he went on his pirate adventure 10 years ago, and stored his soul on a computer as a back up or something. I'll make it work xD
If we got a pirate expansion maybe Linda could finally get a new class of musketeer(there’s an empty gun using guild in limsa that never actually ended up getting used in game)
Silence is also an answer
So… They going to include a free DT story skip in the next expansion? 🤣
"What can be broken but never held?" My day. That's right, now its a shit day…
We are, We are, on a cruuuuuuuuuuuuise! WE ARE!
unironically they should've set up the plotline for Dawntrail way sooner an gave us a glimpse of the political turmoil instead they forced us to "want" to like who would be the main character of the next story arc but it fell completely flat cause she was given enough time to develop as a solid character.
the other thing is if they tell us the scions are going on "break" then should mean they stay the hell away or out of the story not come back like they never disbanded in the first place cause that completely ruined the plotline that was endwalker. the story and game would have been fine without them on the front page/cover it would have been completely fine if it was just g'raha and krile traveling alongside us with Erenville to Tural an sure they could've thrown in Estinien here and there for a dungeon with us that would of been completely fine an would not have ruined anything and plus what was even the whole point of adding duty support WHICH btw has random no name npc's who are just part of the faction we're currently helping like why on earth would they not capitalize on that Wuk Lamat is literally the PRINCESS you would think she would have at least one body guard following or accompanying her on her journey or at least servants who were commanded by the Dawnservant to keep her safe and protected at all times.
as for the city of gold thing instead of trying to make Sphene this beloved person they should've just made her a Tyrant enslaving the will of the people that would've justified us to take her down a whole lot easier instead of trying to play yet another game of "diplomacy" which we've done far too much off in ARR and SB it would've made Sphene's fall just that more satisfying toward the end as we liberated the people of Alexandria from her control an then later learn that the true bad guys are the group who killed krile's parents an continue that plot thread up to 3.3 etc an then start building the next expansion's story beats to generate hype and excitement etc an introduce new characters central to the next plot
I wonder what she sounds like throating it
IDK, sounds good on paper, but don't we already have pirates in Eorzea? Also, WoW had a pirate expansion, and they managed to fuck it up hard. BFA in WoW was for me what Dawntrail was for you.
I can tell you this sounds infinitely better. I’m a little sketchy on the return of Emet Selch as a main character. I would appreciate him being just an exposition character but not reincarnating him.
Azem being an adventurer is a thing and making you be a pirate like Luffy makes sense. They could have made ship sailing a thing.
8:16 A waterpark version because they're adding blitzball, right? Right?!
WUK THE PIRATE? OH LOOK WHAT A PERFECT INTRODUCTION TO THE CORSAIR JOB, WHICH IS AN ACTUAL FF JOB AND NOT WHATEVERTHEHELL "VIPER" IS SUPPOSED TO BE
yes i'm still mad
Holy shit, Mami. If you build it, I will… yeah.
why the fuck are they not paying you to write the story!? i would kill for a pirate adventure story!
A vacation they said, an adventure without the world at stake they said, then why the f did I end up as an unpaid npc bodyguard/babysitter?
Few tweaks for lore consistency needed but hell im sold, better than whatever the fuck they gave us with DT. I'm in the same boat of not actually carring about future patches hell once wilds comes out FF will be getting dropped for the foreseeable future
ff14 has been on a ridiculously steep decline since the start of shadowbringers…now that the story is awful, people are finally starting to notice that as there is nothing to mask it all.
Your story? I hate it! But please can we have it anyway? Because its still 10x better than Dawntrail! =D
We thought we were getting a cool vacation/island adventure and instead we got the Fire Festival where we were handcuffed to Wuk Lamat and unable to leave.
I would so love it if Hythlo was involved somehow too, maybe as a voice in his head or some such, something he wasn't expecting or accounting for, some kind of aether/soul entanglement, or maybe he could come back as a kind of weakened none combat NPC because of weak aether etc, I don't know, I just want my Hythlo back damnit ❤! Love this re-imagination, it would have been way better <3
All i want is a Nautical story, about a steadfast old Seabear, that is not into the Pirate thing, but instead just loved critiquing mathematical principles, so he joined the crew while actually looking for a group of mathematicians to join so he can rate pi.
It all starts to make sense how DT got so bad when you realize that the writers for Dawntrail had only ever done minor sidequests before this. They're also responsible for post-SB being a hot mess. They also wrote the BRD and BLM quests after 3.0 which are largely regarded as some of the most boring job quests in the game.
A pirate expedition would be so fucking awesome, Wuklamat a pirate captain would be a 100% cool character. Oh god, they had so much potential on their hands for this expansion and it ended up being total rubbish.
Im prolly gonna get dragged for this, but I am hoping for an expansion thats in style of the ESO quests. Different seperate adventuring stories, but your choices actually matter on how the stories play out. Whos the one to die, whos the one to save? Or doesnt anyone have to die? It would be up to the player (and actually an incentive to use NG+). If you are done with one story onward to the next. It would be the perfect start to an actual "starting from zero" arc and give us the opportunity to meet new characters, so that we dont have to rely on the scions every time. PS: As a female Hrothgar player, we dont claim Wul Lamat
Lost me at Karlach. Her dialog was so modern and cringe. Replacing Wuk Lamat with a edgy dudebro muscle-mommy cat girl would not have been much of an improvement.
You've lost me with Emet Selch.
I'm happy he's dead. I want him to stay dead forever. No more Emet Selch.
Pirates are fucking cool. you've cooked.
LuLu time!
They need to learn how to invent characters like Emet-Selch and add new ones in every patch. And not use the same corpse over and over again, like the Joker in the Batman stories.
And it's not that hard – take several flat characters, combine them into one, get a three-dimensional, multifaceted one that reacts to everything differently.
Cool ideas. But seriously, now, my idea:
I think meeting Wuk Lamat immediately after EW would have been the best. We postpone Zero and the 13th storyline for later, because all we got was getting cucked into not going to the 13th straight away despite there being such a big set up.
Anyway. We meet Wuk Lamat and she tells about her contest for the throne. Then we spend Post-EW traveling to different parts of the world and letting Wuk Lamat talk to different leaders learning their history (EXTRA LORE DROP) and what it actually means to be a leader. (This also works as tribute to the 10 year storyline, aka, FAN SERVICE) And simulatinously Wuk Lamat would be able to build diplomatic relations with those countries. And by Dawntrail's start, she would arrive back to Tural already fit to be a ruler. Zoral Ja, the militaristic faction; Kouna, the disconnected from the people faciton; and Wuk Lamat, the diplomatic faction.
Then, of course, we re-write the contest. Maybe introduce a civil war where Zooral Ja has people backing him up, and not those he stole from a different world.
We delete most Scions from Tural. The only ones with any right to be there are Krile, because it's her expansion, Estinient, because it's funny, and maybe Y'shtola that will pull up when we discover Azem's Key (I still don't understand it).
We delete Alexnadria from the story. At least for now. We do not need to go to a different shard right now after traveling the cosmos.
And then we add a few other things that are not on the top of my head right now.
We can explore Alexandria in the next expansion. We can leave it's society as is, except Sphene isn't a hypocrite. And maybe we even let a scion die. Like Estinien, and he'd become a living memory after meeting Alexandria's version of Ysayle. The romance plot that never happened in HW. He did call her his lady, and brought her flowers in Azys La, so the potential is there.
Anyway. Potential is plenty.
Shit. I would've loved a pirate-filled FFXIV. Excuse me while I swap to RDM and bust out my Antonio Banderas impression.
Your voice is so annoying. I got 7 seconds in & thought…FTS.
Your heart. Can be broken but never held. Also be kind to Koji he was writing FF16 not 14 when this all went down. You want Isabela from Dragon Age to pirate captain 🙂 Good premise!
Karlach expy? Yes please!
Omg this story would have been amazing. Also your voice did put me to sleep as I was watching this first time. Since it was late lol
That was fun. More and more I realize that a lot of people had many and far greater ideas for Dawntrail than what we got.
To be honest, I would have been happy with the existing Solution 9 stuff without all of the other stuff, the tech stuff is mega cool.
But yeah, pirate themed stuff would have been cool.
Also. We had a good version of Viper at launch and they ruined it 🙁
This is genius. SE give this woman a job!
BORE trail amirite? lulu please like this 😿
