Very poorly written and very poorly paced. I'm too lazy to write an extensive review (oh the irony...), but I think this story would have landed (despite being poorly written) if the pacing was good. But with this much filler and this many pointless quests and busywork, it just can't.

The graphics update is good, dungeons and trials are great. Music is great, although I don't see how jazz fits a city themed around South America. Pictomancer (the new job) has been pretty fun to play too. If you disregard the story, it actually seems like a promising start for the expansion. But if you're here just for the story, this is among the worst ones.
