After the last 2 and a half years of Endwalker, all I can think of is... man I miss Shadowbringers. I miss the excellent writing and memorable characters. I miss the plot that felt like it had actual stakes and wasn't afraid to take risks. I miss the beautiful areas and fantastic music. I miss the exciting boss fights. I miss the side story content with Ryne and Gaia - and when EX trials HAD a side story. I miss the underrated Nier raids (and especially when they were tuned correctly...). I especially miss the big group content like Ishgard Restoration and Delubrum Savage. I miss everything about 5.3 and getting patch msq that just hit. Most of all I miss the feeling of wanting to log into the game and see my friends. I don't think Shadowbringers is perfect - Bozja being some of my least favorite content in the game - but most of what we had was truly great and the excitement between the playerbase of "wow, this game is REALLY good!" made it that much more enjoyable. It is truly disappointing that FFXIV would stumble so hard with its next expansion, and I am hoping the future of the game leads back to the incredible heights achieved by Shadowbringers.
