#⋯ ꒰ა starry thoughts ໒꒱ *·˚ #⋯ ꒰ა ffxiv ໒꒱ *·˚ #i love ffxiv. it is perfect and imperfect to me and in such a beautiful final fantasy realistic fantasy way #all expansions are great imo !! even if you don't like say. stb. you have to admit it has the best content (maybe not anymore w enw) #and if you don't like arr you can't deny it is incredibly successful actually following the disastrous 1.0 #and it builds up a lot of stuff for ffxiv! yk! base game!! #hw i admittedly have a few negative feelings towards bcs a lot of people who like hw most are annoying to me #if they're the kinds that don't like arr or stb ......... or don't see any fault w hw as well #that one character deserved WAY better. still angry abt that. also other criticism i'm willing to talk abt if anyone asks #i like looking at ffxiv critically and yeah my enjoyment of expacs are if from most to least. it's in order from newest to oldest #which means i overall prefer stb to hw and i have reasons for that but i look at both critically and it annoys me that. w hw. yeah #ANYWAYS RIGHT. enw has some problems w pacing (?) tbh i enjoyed enw so much as a whole #i don't really have any problems w it but i understand pacing problems! but imo shb is kind of. just perfect #IDK the only bit i had yk w was rak'tika. mostly bcs it dragged on a bit for me but w the story in mind it was also just very good #i can't really rmbr anything else... i find shb to just be perfect to me. barely any pacing problems #the story isn't as complex as the other expacs but i think that makes it so good (tho i too like the complexity of the others! but ya it #makes pacing more of a problem fr) <3 i forgot what i was typing in the last tag so ending this there #hmm...... yeah that's about it (at least rn) #i really love shb. as much as i love enw i think the themes and vibes of shb just still appeal to me more so yeah #shb. wow. yeah.
