I have SO many questions and I'm absolutely as a long time fan of this game, so damn curious how this expansion is going to play out. The sheer variety of environments is so contrasting and interesting. The new world is nothing like I thought it would be based on past information.

I’m assuming it will play out like all their other ones, square don’t take big chances with this mmo. You’ll get more story on the already bloated story, followed by the extremes, then a raid tier to start the gear treadmill.

The one thing that interests me was the announcement of the beast master class! I’m hoping it’s like wow and you can collect beast “Pokemon” and battle other players with your collection. But I have a fear it’s just gonna be blue mage 2.0 and if that’s the case that’s imo is a shame.

I remember after I graduated college in 2022 I decided I was going to buckle down and hammer out the story. A month later I still didn't get to Heavenward and I eventually just gave up.....lol. I think the between DLC storylines are great but man they are long. I'm not sure I beat Shadowbringer. I think I did.

A lot of people say it gets better it gets better! The best way I can explain it is if you didn’t like the core gameplay and core story no I’d don’t get better. It doesn’t change really nothing major, just some of the cutscenes gets voiced and a few improvements here and there but nothing major.

I will say if you enjoyed the early part then yeah you’ll enjoy the improvements, but for me if you’ve gotta hammer out the story just to find something you wanna enjoy I think their are better options imo.

Oh, don't get me wrong - I absolutely love the core gameplay. The job system is next to none. Absolutely amazing game.

I was just hoping to finish the story that literally didn't seem like it had an end.

The two things I despise is MOG Station and you cannot skip those loooooooong cutscenes for the dungeons or whatever they are called.
