It was fine. This is the part when the game "gets good" over 100 hours in, or so I've heard said; and yes, having spent many many months with it, I think I can finally agree with that chorus. Compared to the heft of A Realm Reborn it is better. FFXIV is fetch-like by nature, which is more annoying than anything else. Just when the going gets good you're often pulled away to run less than interesting errands. Thankfully Heavensward is not as grating as its predecessor was in that regard. It leans more heavily into politics and history. (It begs mention that ARR has endeared itself to me. I like it more now than when I first played it and I have HW to thank for that). To reiterate: HW is just fine. Good, even very good. Not great. Like ARR, I feel like HW's story was at its best in the post-expansion MSQ. In these games there's always that phenomenal last little bit that propels you onward and onwards to the next campaign.

"It gets better"cels when theyre just lying and are trying to groom you into playing high level """"content""""

This is genuinely so well made of an expansion, this coming right after ARR and being even better then all the patch quest content leading up to it? Dude I could fucking shout my praises for this expansion. It made me cry twice which I did not ever expect from an MMO I got into simply because a loved one liked it, that's for sure. I really hope it just continues to go up from here, honestly.

Alright all NPC's are to stay 6 feet away from me, I'm sick of getting attached to these people only for them to die or go missing

Keeping it a buck I dont remember anything besides nidhogg, estinien, and haurchefant. the msq is forgettable to be honest but at least the soundtrack is good
