Magic The Gathering's crossover set with the Final Fantasy series happened to hit the flavor of certain characters in the game awfully well, and there's just a charming tone there that's the nostalgia-bait stuff of legends. Dawntrail is notably absent, though perhaps that's because this set's design and concepting would have finished around two years ago.
It's really a shame what they're doing with this game's mechanics. The fact that it sounds like, not even a month after release, most people are already mentally checked out of OC - content people were waiting almost a year for, which was supposed to be the mainstay of the expansion - doesn't really bode that well.
It's amazing that they've managed to hemorrhage subs down to pre-EW (by some accounts pre-SHB) levels and the glazers insist that this is some kind of 'equilibrium' the game would always settle to. I mean - for all the goodwill, for all the press, for the fact that Dawntrail sold better than any other expac, I don't see how you can read so many subs falling off as anything but a massive disapproval of the direction the game is going. It's almost like them simplifying the game isn't bringing anyone new in, and it's instead pandering to a Second Life crowd that will never lean their goongame ever anyways.
Well, it kindof already began the second you finished Endwalker.
I made it to the second DT starting zone before I tapped out and started skipping cutscenes. If you play at a slow pace maybe you'll last longer, but I'll emphasize that you're only missing pain, suffering, and atrocious line reads.
