What data center/server? What is(are) your character name(s)?

I play L'ina Inverse and Mr. Popoto on Crystal/Zalera.

I played for a while and enjoyed it, but eventually it became clear the developers were taking both the story and the gameplay in directions I didn't like.

Heavensward was a great story, Stormblood patch quests were amazing. Shadowbringers had its very high peaks of course but even there they had started doing things in the story I hated.

    It stopped being a story with unpredictability and actual stakes. There was a time I felt like anyone was at risk, even "main characters", and it was awesome. It just turned into more of a Sunday morning cartoon - which is fine - it's just not for me.

    I also got sick and tired of them doing the "guess who's back from the dead?" plotline a bazillion times.

    Well, you can add another "dead for good" main character near the end of Shadowbringers.

    At the end of Endwalker, you take a jaunt through the aetherial sea (lv 89 dungeon) on the way to see crystal mommy.

    The spirits of all your fallen friends (and a few foes) make cameos during combat. It really draws the story arc to a nice close.
