endwalker worse than shadowbringers is a pretty normal take, the real curveball here is that you already had shadowbringers low

Shadowbringers is better as a standalone story which is reasonable since Endwalker is more concerned with wrapping up the overarching plot.

1. Shadowbringers
2. Endwalker
3. Heavensward
4. Stormblood
5. A Realm Reborn

Note: this rating is for their trailer songs

Edit: i forgot the shadowbringers part with Eternal Wind which is an automatic +1

i don't get it. shadowbringers isn't supposed to be a standalone story? why would mmo expansions be judged on that metric?

Well, not entirely "standalone," yes, but like the story within the expansion itself is better.

As someone who has studied and practiced Buddhism at points in my life I immediately recognised and appreciated the messaging of Endwalker, but I was also so already familiar with it that it didnt carry any significant weight for me. That said I felt the expansion ended very well, had some great character moments and I even got a bit teary eyed toward the end.

My comments are lacking in much needed context. Final Fantasy 14 is exceedingly good and Endwalker is no exception but I feel it is lacking in several areas and it failed to reach the highs set by previous expansions. Part of this may be down to hype and my of expectations of it from reading ppls reaction to it in last years goty thread and elsewhere. I understand why ppl enjoyed it so much but for me it didnt hit as hard. This may be due to simple personal preference to what I find interesting or enjoyable in a story and I appreciate Endwalker wasnt trying to tell that story. I dont think Endwalker is bad, I was just expecting to enjoy it more than I did.

last time I checked the developers didn't actively work to make trans people suffer so i wouldn't be so sure about that

expansion rankings are always a bit weird to me because they are generally main story quest rankings and don't really account for the full breadth of what is in them

If you rank them by the experience of playing the game when that expansion is current then heavensward would be rock bottom

I will be putting one of the Ffxiv expacs on my goty list (probably hw), out of respect, but on the turbulent, ebb-and-flow “is this game good or not” meter it’s been pretty much down for the past few weeks tbh

an mmo will never win SA goty ever again

Finished Signalis and it's real good. It's no more or less than a PS1-era survival horror game released in 2022. It's top-down fixed-camera scenes where you sneak around trying to avoid or kill enemies and solve puzzles that are almost all either "find 3 macguffins and put them in the right places" or "flip these 5 switches in the right sequence". The story is obtuse and heady sci-fi about lesbian robots with defective memories (this is not a complaint). The only real annoyance is that the limited inventory makes a lot of puzzles take many more trips back and forth to solve than they really should. 10/10 glad I played this on Halloween weekend
