>>16036695i had finished shadowbringers when i quit, bozja was what put the final nail in the coffin. eureka, which was stormblood's bozja, wasn't great but it was mindless enough that i could play it high while listening to something else. bozja was simultaneously incredibly boring while also having a bunch of one-off instakill mechanics that i had to pay attention to and also endless cutscene spam about TEH RESISTANCE but all the npcs were furries so i didn't care
you're right that stormblood had the worst story by far even if it had my favorite character heavensward was good but very obviously rushed and shadowbringers was overall the best but a lot of that had more to do with the dev team having more experience with their tools than anything else. it was mostly great up until the fight with lord vauthry, but then emet-selch takes over as the main villain and it goes downhill. i just didn't give a damn about the ascians and their stupid evil moon god and their stupid mythical utopia that definitely existed and isn't just the delusions of an immortal satanist shadow demon, everything that has ever happened was the ascian's fault and it's too late to convince me to care about them as anything other than yet another god for me to murder and then forget about five minutes later. i don't blame you for skipping the plot lole
