I love it when people bring video games to life, especially the food.

Spoiler warning.

The cutscenes following the fight with Elidibus actually brought tears in my eyes. I love this expansion so damn much. Still gotta finish up the remaining quests from patch 5.3 and then write up the review.

My (admittedly late) new years resolution is to try to finish this expansion and Endwalker by the time Dawntrail comes out this summer so I can hopefully play FFXI since I'm scared they're gonna kill it any month now.

Love that the skybox clears up when you defeat a lightwarden. Very nice touch, even if I liked theworld being bright all the time personally.

Holy shit, Alisaie's mini questline in Amh Araeng was such a gutpunch out of nowhere. The writing and worldbuilding in this expansion so far is hooking me much better than the last one did.

I have been on this expansion for like ten minutes and the writing is already better than the whole of Stormblood combined.

Squeenix, why did you have to go an introduce a new barrier based healing class? You know I don’t have time to play this game!

The first expansion I didn't pre-order. Sadly there just isn't time enough to play anymore.

I know this is a silly thing to want, and it's probably pretty impractical, but I kind of wish FFXIV was available for the Switch.
