An incredible expansion that greatly improved aspects of the lore and story, not to mention will always be one of my favorites; I'm not sure if anything can top this one. From the first part of the game, the tone hits you heavily about just what situation the people of Norvrandt have been suffering through. It also is genius to take its moment away from the pile of characters and focus on both newer and old ones. Truly, it was a wild road of thrills and sadness with a complimentary soundtrack to support it. Ishikawa's writing--yet again--twists the weaker villains of FF14's story into better ones. Perhaps, the villains may just be the finest this expansion has to offer as a whole. It was worth it spending 2 months to finish this.
