I think they knocked the mechanics out of the park. The tuning, i feel like they really needed to nerf Picto, but instead they buffed the field, and it trivialized the fight balance. Buffing everything else could be okay, but Picto was just way too overtuned.

38:10 The Hammer, huh.

I don’t think the issue with tuning was because Pictomancer was too strong as they buffed the job from media tour to live and left it there for a whole month so clearly it’s where they wanted it to be. No, this just came down to the team undershooting the mark which they will learn from going forward. Honestly, the first tier is the best place for this to happen as now people can start farming for Ultimate without issue and the team has more or less balanced the roles with only small tweaks needed going forward.

33:00 listening to the predictions for Black Cat Savage has been fun. =P

At least on healer, m3s really felt like another p7s to me. Early on the damage isn’t that high and the boss is still tutorialising mechanics, and then fusefield and bombardian special blast out damage and on whm you have to hope other people mitigated

Hoe~ Lightning hoe~

it's weird they didnt update koana's but updated the urianger one....but not for players

shetona is just a seperate clan of viera vastly culturally different from rava veena and viis

the EDM stuff isnt Soken it's takafumi imamura same persona that did the garlamald train theme and athena theme

merecydia is NOT the south sea isles

I came in ready to love Dawntrail and Wuk Lamat only to despise it, I rate it a 2/5. It only gets a point because the worldbuilding of most of Tural is great and the premise itself had potential. (1) The first half of the MSQ is atrocious. It was all tell, no show about the adventures of Gulool Ja Ja. I was exhausted listening to people talk about an adventure someone else had, it would've been much better to be Wuk Lamat's partner as she unites Tural in her father's stead. (2) Wuk Lamat is a kind person, although Gulool Ja Ja's trials were to teach all flawed promises Wuk Lamat is by far the weakest. She's a sheltered princess that is scared of everything and knows little about the people around her. (3) The structure of the MSQ itself was awful. There were way too many objectives that simply went "Talk to X NPC", and their dialogue is "Can't find it here, let's look somewhere else", and then having to walk 10 meters to talk to the NPC again. The two biggest moments that destroyed the pacing of the MSQ is when Wuk Lamat gets kidnapped just before going to Zone 3, and simply walking away from the Golden City to go to Shaaloni, which was a totally disconnected and poorly written Cowboy story that tried to hit all the Western tropes with nothing unique and lacked any fantasy, much less Final Fantasy, elements to it. (4) If the story was about our WoL and Scions mentoring Wuk Lamat, we were piss poor mentors because we had amnesia and mentioned nothing about our past adventures. This expansion's writers did not use any of the story material of ARR-EW to help guide Wuk Lamat. Especially since we faced worse-written versions of the same threats for Shadowbringers and Endwalker. For being a springboard to a new 10 year saga, Dawntrail's story was a bad retreading of the same themes as the last two expansions. (5) By far the worst offending flaw of Dawntrail is Erenville's plot thread. His story was all about grief and was probably the most realistic take on grief in the expansion. All ARR-EW were excellent in writing about individual and personal battles with grief, but how everyone including Cahcuia, our WoL, and the Scions I actually hated. All of our characters so easily disregarded Erenville's grief, insisting that he simply move on and "be happy" for Cahcuia. His mother abandoned him as a child, treated him only as the child she saw and not that man he became. Not once did she ask about his life or accomplishments, never expressed pride in him as an adult. Erenville's trauma ended up being worse than it started and I don't believe the writers even know it or will ever resolve it.

Wuk lamat is a snooze fest

Damn Fusion sounds the exact same as in his pet food alpha days haha

3:39:50 As a Paladin main, 4 was my favorite. But rerunning as an undergeared whm on day one, 3 made me feel herculean ! >=D Edit: 3 was the LEAST FUN!? Clearly that was 2... I really liked the glass floors in 1 too. Lol

3:20:00 Facewear from the calamity salvager is glasses you already collected that used to be a fashion accessory. They were available from a bunch of different content/sources, including trading in potshards from mt Rokkon. They then separately added a few more into the gold saucer for mgp. There are still gear pieces that you can get, or might be in your glamour dresser that are technically still a normal head slot armor piece. Yes, you can wear two pairs of glasses.

The toxic Positivity in the FFXIV community has made impossible to criticise Dawntrail.

1:50:00 fates are actually the same number! They just added a rank 4! Previously it was 60 to get through rank 3, but now its 20 with another step of 40.

Just gonna rate alongside yas! Story: 4. I really enjoyed the first 3 zones and Wuk Lamats story. Shaaloani felt like a huge filler arc, felt super out of place, and dulled the narrative arc right when the story was peaking. The last 2 zones were narratively fine. I dont like the cyberpunk aesthetic, but i was hooked on the story here, and felt the narrative hooks well. Wish Wuk Lamat didnt overstay, but ultimately it was fine. Role quests im with Charles. Very forgettable.

CU3 tried to subverse the "examination" arc of every shounen anime in the first half. They made it more intimate than competitive which I think threw a lot of people off expecting something intense. This was also established later on in the 1 on 1 with Gulool Ja ja when he told you this contest was made to basically teach his children + brethren a lesson on leadership and peace and not necessarily to have a new dawnservant. Wuk Lamat being clueless was established early on when the people say she has no achievements and is treated like a kid and her being raised in the capital by Namika. She's basically a sheltered princess that's why she only knows the nearby settlements. Her character development is essentially faking till you make it. Bravado to confidence. Wanting peace to actually wanting peace. Not the usual 180 of most characters. the 2nd half I think they chose Wuk Lamat because her emotional reasoning counters Sphene's more logical reasoning for Alexandria's future. Whereas if it was Koana he would just like probably agree with Sphene's ways. I understand a lot not liking the writing this expansion because its told through a naive character's POV and dialogue which reflects in a writing style that love to repeat stating the obvious. Another thing I notice is I think people have unchecked expectations because of the live letters. I notice a lot who play through the MSQ feel "impatient" because they keep looking forward to the Solution 9 stuff that was revealed.

I think players would of been fine with the WoL being more in the background if the character we were following and supporting was NOT Wuk Lamat. Having a character we actually like to follow and have more chances for WoL to help nuture them would of made it interesting story wise to see.

It's not often i find myself agreeing with Fusion, but here we are. Edit: Nevermind...

There better be a way to turn Living Memory back on during the patch cycle

The milala did not leave from Meracydia, they left from AloAlo island. As far as the story... I absolutely adore the previous arc. I have played through it twice with a third planned next year. Dawntrail was the first segment of the MSQ that I actually wanted to end. I can't describe how much I disliked what I played last week. The dialogue, pacing, and structure were below amateur, I have no idea how this got past any internal story review. Wuk Lamat was the literal embodiment of the "modern western culture" Mary Sue. These characters don't have a developmental journey. Rather than facing a seemingly impossible task, a character should progress, learn, improve, adapt and overcome. They struggle to succeed. The, for lack of a more contentious term, Wuk Lamat stule character type's entire "journey" is coming to terms with the fact that they've been awesome from the start. The character had no flaws or failures so they tacked on a half dozen instances of sea sickness, Alpacaphobia, and fear of balloons to give a facade. She succeeded at everything she attempted, her only blocker was lack of confidence that comes from seemingly nowhere. As the issues and scenarios change going into the second half, her naive lack of development becomes more and more glaring. The character herself was fine and I thought the VA did excellent. It was just terrible writing.

I did all the side quests in the first two areas but it's so much easier to do them after you unlock flying because the areas are so large and sometimes the quest objectives are really spread out.

No Rook?

For Erenvilles accent doesnt Lyna from the first have the same one? Edited to agree that I havent touched the role quests since probably Shadowbringers. I too miss the job quests.

One thing to correct, the amount of required FATEs is the same; the original final 60 tier has just been broken up into a 20 tier and a 40 tier And in regards to the new Turali race names, it's said early on when you first get off of the ship that they're actually using tribe names. It's just that usually all the people of the tribe are of a particular race so one is used to describe the other. Like in the south how all sodas just get called "coke"

no rook, uh oh

I love the dungeons, but I hated the story telling, and the stakes where non-existent, and then suddenly there is this bad, unoriginal retelling of the Ardor; Didnt we just get done dealing with someone trying to bring back their dead, at the expense of your living, and across all the reflections? Sphene just admitted to agreeing to the attack on Wuk's city, but Hey... Lets learn about their crops and go make snacks?! Everything about it was engaging with people locked in a concentration camp for me and monstrous, robbed of their lives, with thermostats on the head instead of slave collars, and writers forced WoL and party to be awkwardly upbeat about all this? And Living Memory... I don't care about these people, they are already dead and even know it, and certainly not at the expense of Eorzea's living I just defended for the last 10 years. However, wasn't it weird how we rejected Emet's argument that "But yes, moral relativism and all that. Case in point- I do not consider you to be truly alive. Ergo, I will not be guilty of murder if I kill you." However, its okay when we do it (cause living memory are not alive for us, but sometimes are like Namika/Nursemaid)? A 30 year time skip that suddenly and conveniently stops when the MC shows up? Just a lot of forced reactions with manufactured pity/sympathy/concern that isn't earned. I cleared every side quest before moving to the next zone because I REALLY wanted to see the slow, paced groundwork of the new story being built, and instead of discovering and exploring a new world, I got a weird field trip with lecture.

Just thoughts while listening, in no particular order I'd assumed the Azem symbol appearing on the portal-macguffin was our little wish-stone preventing it from doing whatever she was wanting to use it for. It doesn't make sense (to me) for Azem to have made it, since by the time the world was sundered, they were dead and sundered with it. There was a spot in Heritage Found around the Gomphotherium, where I fell into a pit and had to teleport to get out. One thing I don't get, is why the (700) Neo Kingdom weapons/outfits exists, when the 690 job sets could be upgraded/augmented to be 700 gear via tomestones instead. I know they always do it, but what's the benefit of having a new outfit which replaces all out cool job outfits so quickly? Feels like a waste. This part became a bit of a rant, sorry. Wuk's background of living in the palace and not knowing the local culture, is about the same as Ron Weasley living with magical parents in a magical house and not knowing the first thing about casting spells. Though it's kinda worse for Wuk since she's older than 11, because it implies: She's never had any lessons in all her years. Never interacted with palace guests. Barely attended festivals, local or external. And hasn't spoken with her father, brothers, the guards, or pretty much any of the people in her home town, besides the taco vendor. There's sheltered princess, and then there's locked in a cupboard princess. Yet somehow (without leaving the palace) she managed to be a very competent warrior by the time we meet her. I'd honestly have found it more believable if, during the storm on the boat, she'd bumped her head and gotten selective amnesia.

I didn’t even realize Lightfall and Solution 9 were similar 😂

You heard of shadowbringers earrape, now get ready for dawntrail earrape + flashbang

The new system is two dye for

I ll stay with endwalker title :😢

Now this was a theme with some chest hair on it

Happy Dawntrail released make sure your room is bright

I miss you Shadowbringers title screen.

I love dawntrail release!! pog!

Is the music from the game or from the channel uploading the video?

So good! Might be their best one

NGL, I teared up hearing the Prelude mixed in with Dawntrail. It has been so long since I heard that for FFXIV again as current.

Where can I find the free version please help? I bought the physical but would like to take a look at the digital

This version of prelude is making me tear up😢

So disappointing

Had the exact same experience with the Gong Cha website, and was pleasantly surprised when I found them outside that site

I think you might be jumping to some conclusions, I think we might be surprised. They like to put in a ton of red herrings. I think the animal armor is lucha libre inspired

Still hate the dawntrail theme but wow are the prelude bits of this good

go white boy go white boy go

Just wanted to say ive been having a lot of trouble with the show recently because its just been feeling very negative and bitter to the point where i was considering just not watching anymore. But this was a nice, much more chill episode and I really appreciated that!

Can we please stop referencing the color of people's skin?
