[@generalriot1804]

The fact they removed my autistic edge waifu was the worst april fools

[@wavypavy4059]

Myths of the realm and pandaemonium are the real endwalker patch story arcs to me. I could believe these patches were drafted as the trial series and shifted when they decided they wanted to leave dawntrail to dawntrail and that two trial series, every shadowbringer role quests, and maybe eden was too much of a requirement whenever they want to do an actual void story.

[@TheDragonsPit]

Something effectively tells me this was the case that and they wanted to setup a future expansion set in the Thirteenth but wanted at least a general 'gist' of what we could be walking into first. Their thought process was probably some penultimate trial series focused on the Void however when coming to what they wanted do MSQ wise they found themselves stepping on the toes of what they wanted to do for Dawntrail or possible other expansions and so ultimately made the call to use the Trial series as a MSQ. Keeping in mind Dawntrail is also the first time since Shadowbringers they've changed the head writer of the expansion and I get the impression somewhere in EW development they ultimately had to make the sacrifice of pouring the Emet setup stuff into the next expansion(s) versus doing too much with that in post-patch MSQ If anything my major vocal point would've been just focus on Garlemald for Post-MSQ focus on the fall of the empire, what that means, what is going on with the remaining Legions etc but maybe this stepped on toes of future expansions as well or they thought that they needed something a bit grander to entice players story wise, they also shot themselves in the foot with how they handled Garlemald To even get the full context of how things are now going post-6.0 you need to have done all the Role Quests similiarly this whole Voidsent questline effectively only really works if you have 1. Leveled Reaper to 90 2. Did the Warring Triad 3. Did all Shadowbringers Role Quests 4. Did Eden. Without these things you miss important contextual stuff that happens in nearly every patch and it results in them also being able to draw on these things that would've likely otherwise been VASTLY more important if this was just a Trial series.

[@oktinaa]

@@TheDragonsPiti kinda skipped through role quests in shb, what exactly is inportent from them that's referenced in msq? is it just the characters themselves?

[@TheDragonsPit]

@@oktinaa I.E. it continues stuff with the Warring Triad series in the ending questline after you do all of them. The E11 boss is actually a person from the Thirteenth taking on the form of Cylva (the Elezen Gladiator you see pop up in the Role Quests) who is Cyella Valthane, she was one of Ardberts traveling companions who was 'behind' all the Voidsent stuff happening on the First prior to the Flood of Light, she betrayed the WoL's but after being defeated she is sparred by Ardbert and they go on to try and "kill" Loghrif and Mitron. She's the one who sets up the Hunt Boards for the Cardinal Virtues due to Vaulthry reanimating their corpses and turning them into Sin Eaters. Anyhow at the end of the questline Cyella is united with Unukalhai who we bring to the First and they discuss wanting to restore the Thirteenth with Beq Lugg, the only real reaction either have is surprise that a fellow memoriate survived when you talk to them in Endwalker after meeting Zero. It's pretty clear that the foreshadowing for something to do with the Void and eventually going there for an expansion has existed since Heavensward and was expanded upon in Shadowbringers, so it's clear for awhile they've wanted to set an expansion there but doing so would if they want to properly build off what they set up require doing a ton of side content and making it mandatory (The Warring Triad is easy enough but making the ShB role quests all mandatory would be insane as it'd force you to have at the very least one job in every category at lvl 80)

You are just comparing it to the utter high of the end of endwalker. The post 6.0 story is setting up a future expansion, likely the one after DT. it has to do the world building to make that expansion pay off. You honestly sound like a "only does 5% of the game andy" butthurt cuz there was no new eureka and mad at everything.

[@Veishan]

The Pandemonium/Myths of the Realm raid stories should have been the MSQ for 6.1-6.5. The resolution of Lahabrea's story, and the denouement and conclusion of one of the weird leftover things from 1.0 that hadn't been explained. The raid story could have been faffing about on the 13th and dealing with Bronzebez and his color-coded-for-your-convenience henchmen. Instead we got "Hey kids, who wants to battle some Zodiark space farts!?"

[@Advon]

It's pretty telling how you spent almost the entire video deadpanning a mockery of the patch story until Wuk Lamat comes on screen, your voice becomes (slightly) livelier, and you start summarizing rather than mocking. I really like her, and she fills a void in the main cast that's been empty since pretty much ARR. I hope when she gets sent upstate to the waifu farm like all the other non-Y'shtola waifus her ticket says "Ruler of a nation" rather than "Dies for Drama".

Speaking as someone who paid little attention to story and only watches this to get a rough idea of what’s going on… is he being serious when connecting Zero and Zenos as the same person. Because that’s wild if zero is the WoL in the 13th while being somehow connected to Zenos…

9:05 --- "Xwitter" XDXDXD 12:45 --- Yeah, upsets me everytime... only to then learn recently: its a translation "oopsie" and the draining isnt as serious as we are let to believe... So that whole plotpoint is moot - if it ever was one: after all, except for that one (ONE!) time Matoya mentions it, it never comes up again - and we are three expansions in without anyone else speaking of it. So, yeah, if they bring it back in DT... ... that would be lame. 36:25 --- No, its not: the switch was obvious when we got the blue crystal flashback... 48:50 --- Whats your point? YoshiP already said, unless you pay for the skip, there wont be any. Whether thats good or bad you'll have to decide for yourself (I think its good), but going on a tantrum that DT is where new and veteran players have to figure out stuff... There wont be any new players in the DT zones - except the skippers that dont care for plot anyway. I wasnt too happy with post-EW, either... I liked the dungeons and trials that came with it, and I do believe its a setup for later (just like the Warriors of Darkness back in HW), but as Alisiae said: I would've liked if our adventures would've stayed "closer to home" after saving the Universe. Still, totally hyped for DT so there's that.

As someone from Ohio, I am not understanding why Ohio has become the Raid Boss of the United States. But I still laugh every time.

[@SubduedRadical]

I don't fully agree. Oh, don't get me wrong, I found 6.2-6.5 kind of...bland. But not everything you ding on it is fair. I've been thinking since sometime in ShB that funneling the excess Light from the First to the Void would be a neat way to equalize the two and maybe restore the Void. It made me think of a sorta similar concept from the Wheel of Time books where a solution to a problem was basically pitting two opposite polarized evils against each other to destructively interfere. I felt it was just kind of a neat idea if there was a way to do it, and indeed, might be the ONLY way to restore the Void. I do agree that a lot of the character stuff was kind of bland, and the retreads of Zero figuring out like three or four times "Oh right, I can just trust these new friends", and it seemed like they rushed through 6.2 and 6.3's Fiends as these grand generals with armies that we...never bothered with...only for them to then DRAG OUT the last two. We beat Golbez! Now we need to run off and come back in 4 months with the patch because we have to have Zeromus as the final Extreme and can't do it just yet! I don't think it was bad, but I think the pacing was not well done. 6.1 I liked. 6.2 and 6.3 could have been done more logically (the "diversion" stuff was just stupid), build up the darkness army, then 6.4 could have been fighting them and 6.5 could have been going after Golbez and Zeromus at once as the big bads responsible for it all. And we didn't need dozens of scenes of people eating food. I did think the Garlean political stuff WAS well done - it fit the character of the Garleans to be proud, even to their detriment, as well as Vritra being a shrewd diplomat and understanding a way for them to save face. The concept is stupid, but have you seen politics and political leaders? It was true to life accurate as all hell. THAT PART made perfect sense. I also thought the part with Troia wasn't BADLY done, and the part with Zero's Domain was pretty well done. It was collectively the biggest lore dump on the Void and how it and its denizens operate we've gotten in 10 years. I consider that worthwhile and interesting. But from basically the end of the Barb fight on until the pre-DT stuff in this last patch, the stuff between those two points was just like "What? Why? Why even?"

It's just a tactic to make you feel _an_ emotion near the end of the story so you remember it being better than it actually is. But hey, people keep eating it up like it's the best thing since sliced orgasms so it'll keep happening. My money's on this war mongering asshat in Dawntrail is just an ambitious yet misguided warrior who wants his country to be strong and prosperous. There's no chance he's going to actually be evil.

I commented on the Sea of Stars video and the vid blew up. Hope it works again. If not I'll take it as a sign that your non-XIV content is what true Gamers want.

[@Cody211282]

As someone who absolutely hated their time with EndWalkers story, this just seems like the exact same problems I had with it but shorter and with less genocide apologia.
