Playing through the Endwalker main story content really reminded me how strong and deep of a story this world has to offer. Multiple times I found myself tearing up in moments of friendship, loss, or empathy for foes. I started out with the goal of getting through as much side content as possible as I progressed through the main story. However, about 2/3 of the way through the MSQ, I began to find the side content a little too boring/inconsequential for my taste and with the stakes of the main quest so high, I opted to finish it out. Patch content was a little slow, but it had its moments. Loved the content at the end with Golbez and Zero, but it still felt like more of a drag than the main expansion. However, I'm glad I finished it out before bailing because now when Dawntrail comes out I can jump straight into the main content without wrapping up the previous patch content. I'm excited to see what they do next with the upcoming expansion, but I'll definitely need some time away from the game for a while, I'm all cutscened out.
