Right now square enix has a very loved cast: by giving us a strong narration they could keep things very interesting even if the storyline is not as grandiose as previous entries. Sadly being the WoL truly makes it feel like I am too much of a main character in a world in which I’d rather not be one, idk if that makes sense

It’s the same with WoW, it was a better experience when you were just a foot soldier and not the hero and saviour of Azeroth.

Excited for Hrothgirls.

Do they expect new players to play though six expansions to get current ? Atleast in wow you get to skip to current right away .

Love this trailer. It gives off a pretty chill vibe and will hopefully give the scions a much needed break after Endwalker.
Though personally I thought Endwalker was a good stopping point I get that this is an mmo so there can never really be an end. I’m pretty sure even FFXI is still getting new content!

Same here, I feel like SHB and EW was just too much with how high the stakes were and now it’s gonna get boring. Also kinda meh for me that WoL is already so powerful and literally just stopped a world ending event, but there are still challenges back in Eorzia? Doesn’t exactly reel right, the power scaling, but it is a mmo as you said, it has to continue somehow.

Same, it’s hard to build expectations, but I also felt a little bit of that with Endwalker’s impending release. “Oh, so we go to the moon now?” when the moon was barely before the halfway point.
One thing that can help is if they can invent methods of moving beyond power scaling. The Endsinger’s potential was mostly dictated by “despair for the future”, which is such a vague concept they could likely invent new such challenges without explicitly saying “This thing is stronger than the last thing you fought”. It’s already hard to claim that the cattle at the far edge of Thavnair are stronger than Hades.

Yeah, agree. That’s why I think just having a fun time expansion could be good. Although harder to make players care if the stakes are low I guess?
I personally won’t be playing this expansion for a while anyway. Maybe next year when I have more free time so I’ll get to see the general consensus before going in. Hope it’s good.

Not really Eorzea, as it’s known currently. I guess Torval wasn’t affected by the End of Days? Or maybe they have some kind of stuff powerful enough to deal with it better than Thavnair did, which would explain them needing the WoL to come help with whatever.
Or it’s just a Way-West vacay, like Stormblood was far East. Who knows.

Actually, the last truly new content for FFXI ended in May of last year, but it’s still pretty impressive!
