The first of many expansion

Following the shocking ending of the base game, Heavensward takes us to the snowy land of Ishgard, where we are thrown in the heart of the deep conflict between Ishgardians and dragons.

The expansion starts slow but is already a step up from the base game when it comes to the narration. It’s more cinematic and there’s already a lot more voice acting involved.

Not much change in term of progression though, it’s still talk to this npc-> go to that location -> beat up monster -> participate in a duty and so on.

And like I said earlier, the story does start a bit slow but when it picks up, it’s a really engaging storyline. A dramatic tale about long lasting grudges for both heroes and villains, some really good dungeons and fantastic musical score.

This expansion, while not perfect did convince me to see what this game had more to offer.
