I’ve removed the original version of this after it came to my attention that it was being taken personal, for in which that was not the original intention. The original post was the ‘annoyed bird’ meme representing how my frustration reached apex from remarks, statements, and ‘background noise’ revolving around Dawntrail both in and out of game. It was meant to be just how I have generally been feeling even after doing my best to avoid anything, and it’s a similar feeling from that of when Endwalker launched.
For that I do apologize, but I fear the damage may have already been done and if so, I’ll take the full brunt of that burden. If I have ever done something similar like this to anyone in the past, I am so terribly sorry for doing such a thing; formatting will be adjusted here as well to help eliminate surprise spoilers as well.
I truly understand how genuinely excited everyone is about going through the Dawntrail story, whether one has already completed it, or is just now starting out. There’s no hurry to complete it, especially as of re-writing this, has only been officially out for less than a week. If you’re one of the folks who has already completed Dawntrail, then congrats! That’s really wonderful, and super exciting!
We’ll all get there eventually and be able to add to that excitement of taking down the big baddie at the end, but everyone does deserve to get that same near-pure fuzzy feeling as much as possible of the journey there. I do realize there’s folks out there already with the neato higher-zone trinkets (I’ve seen so many tron bikes from fate trains as an example and want one!), and that’s understandable perfectly fine!
We all know there’s still going to be that mixed area where it’s inevitable since everyone gets through it at a different pace: some faster than others. Personally would just prefer to keep that mixed area to a minimum, but I know that varies from person to person.
As for me, I do look forward to talking about the journey once I get up to that finale, and am excited to see how everyone’s adventures went. However it’s just going to take me a smidgen longer to get there, but when I do, it’ll be ‘zee awesome’sies.’
Before I share anything here though, that format change will happen. It’ll probably be a month or so out from now at the earliest.
