Love this trailer. It gives off a pretty chill vibe and will hopefully give the scions a much needed break after Endwalker.

Though personally I thought Endwalker was a good stopping point I get that this is an mmo so there can never really be an end. I'm pretty sure even FFXI is still getting new content!

Same here, I feel like SHB and EW was just too much with how high the stakes were and now it's gonna get boring. Also kinda meh for me that WoL is already so powerful and literally just stopped a world ending event, but there are still challenges back in Eorzia? Doesn't exactly reel right, the power scaling, but it is a mmo as you said, it has to continue somehow.

That feeling ia not at all uncommon. There's a reason many mmos and even long TV series tend to pull the "now there is an even bigger big bad!". Just look at WoW, there's no shortage of people that didn't enjoy dragonflight due to the lower stakes.

Agreed, I just think that we went too quick and sudden from more "grounded" matters like Ishgard and Far East to then travelling to a entirely different world (well, not entirely different since it's one of the shards, but you get what I mean) that has almost been consumed and now we have a threat that looms above our heads, that this could happen to Eorzia as well. And then we go to an EVEN BIGGER threat, people turning into monstrosities, anomalies everywhere, literal hellfire pouring down from the sky from invisible source, pretty much a galactic threat to all life and nobody knows why and how it is happening. And we had to time-travel (something that I really, really hate in any media, but it was cool seeing Emet-Selch and other ancients in the past) to even know what the hell is happening and how we can stop it.

To me the last 2 expansions felt more like the endgame, like a final arc of sorts, that was introduced waaaay to quickly. Having the "bigger big bad" each new expansion is inevitable, but they could've paced it a lot better imo, let us explore more of Eorzia first or maybe other shards, slowly introducing the ancients lore and stuff like that, before going full apocalypse scenario.
