Like, one of my biggest gripes with Zestiria is how dirty the game does Alisha who is built up as an interesting and strong character with a lot of potential just to throw her aside early on and her replacement in the story is pretty bland. The DLC chapter doubles down on this.
Horrendous game.

For those who just cannot get past that, they'll have a hard time with other Final Fantasy games and JRPGs.
I'm excited for what's next regardless, the writing team dared, they tried, it didn't click with everyone but again some of the reasons it didn't, are fucking stupid.

I feel one of the biggest issues is a lot of the XIV playerbase has next to zero experience with RPGs, or at least ones where your custom character isn't the centre of the story all the way through. The entire point of Dawntrail is WoL is part of the story, but not the focus.

We've been going for 15 years on/off stop-start, setbacks etc hampering progress but we've kept it up playing Traditional Heavy Metal rights.

We want to play more gigs. Not been having much luck with that outside our home region in NE England but hopefully with tunes coming out, that might change.

If only there was more incentive to keep doing it other than grind for relic weapons and phantom job exp. Being able to level in there like Bozja would be great. Escaping the corridor simulators dungeons have become is a huge win
