So, story starts off really slow, you build up your character relationships so you feel attached to them like any other story, and Dawntrail actually does a decent job of this. However, I am pretty far into the main scenario quest now the main starting idea was you have to pass several trials/feats to gain these powered gems that unlock the secret golden city. Ok, long story short, you get all 7 gems, you place them, the golden city gets unlocked. Yay, game over right? Nope cause here is where the most horrible writing in video game history starts.
So, you as soon to be leader of your country just unlocked the golden city, but do you go inside? No, why would you do that, you just spent this entire adventure building up to this moment... you have access to a key to get inside that is at the palace, and you have instant travel thanks to aetherytes...
So, instead you just go back to the palace to celebrate that you unlocked the golden city, and instead of going back to enter it you decide to hold weeks of celebration since you are chosen as new Dawnservant... and your brother's advisor steals the key, goes and enters the golden city which grants him immense power... and that's where the next conflict comes from.
SO YOU UNLOCK THE GOLDEN CITY, THAT EVERYONE HAS WHISPERED LEGENDS ABOUT IT FOR CENTURIES, BUT YOU DON'T BOTHER TO EVEN GO INSIDE IT OR EVEN THE NEXT FEW DAYS COME BACK TO GO INSIDE IT??? stupidest writing i have ever seen in my life. the story makes no sense at all. 0/10
this game ended with Endwalker for me, which was a 10/10 story. I can't stand this new crap though, 0/10, canceled my sub, and uninstalling. Junk game is junk.
also forgot to add that you are the most powerful warrior in the Cosmos, you literally traveled stars and fought interdimensional beings in the last expansion, but your new dawnservants brother this little lizard dude, just killed her father with his new golden city tech, but you don't even risk fighting him right then and there to end it all? you literally could whip anything in the Cosmos in the last expansion, this writing is just so fucking bad. I can't stand it. garbage game is garbage
I wish I could get my money back, $42 down the drain for horrible story development and writing skills.
