I’m late to this discussion, but I’ve been watching a few videos about this from content creators and I find this argument impossible to defend.
Taking ARR out (it’s not really an expansion), you can’t actually think EW is worse than HW. HW had much worse and less content and while the story, including the patches, was better, that era didn’t have what people are complaining about now. Maybe less job homogenization, but also absolute dumpster tier jobs that people didn’t play.
So yeah, things are a bit rough (specially now that a lot of new players are caught up), but the worst one? I can’t agree with that.
I think so too, but some content creators have a very doomerish take on the expansion, which I find very odd.
I can’t take Zepla seriously for anything she says after she spent so much time crying about being a victim over the Harry Potter game. Like she kind of sucks
100% agree. I had to unsubscribe after that fiasco. I was just bringing the most popular video about the subject.
Ah, gamers with their hot takes. Don’t these people generally base their “profession” around FFXIV? Like if you play any game religiously you’ll run out of content sooner or later. Endwalker certainly has been a more relaxed expansion, and that clearly doesn’t seem to be up these peoples alleys.
Endwalker has had some fantastic quests, both MSQ and others. The Island Sanctuary is a nice side activity. The raids have been fun, at least from a casual perspective.
They have these takes because it drives engagement from people who enjoy the content I think. It doesn’t really make sense otherwise to me.
