Ok so I'm close to being finished with Shadowbringers (lvl79, I've progressed a bit into the last area) and I really need to say it: You guys weren't kidding. It's a sublime expansion. I love the story. To me it's the best one so far. Even better than Heavensward. I also really dig all the new zones and the MSQ related to them. I love the progression. The flow of the MSQ is so gripping. I never ever got bored. I saw myself playing the game for the longest stretches, having an hard time putting the M/K down. But really, the star for me is the freaking OST. Oh. My. God. How do they even managed to surpass themselves each expansion? It's ludicrous. I mean, each expansion and even the base game have some fantastic songs but I'd argue that if you had to put on paper all the songs that you really love for each expansion, ShB would have the most in my case. It's also the expansion where I felt my current class was the most badass (Bard) all things considered.
So far playing FFXIV has been a grand adventure for the better part of the last 2 months, thanks to the continuous MSQ. I wish it would never end; I'm a bit sad that I'll soon finish the MSQ and that I will have to wait months for the next patch to come out and get a little stretch of continuity with the MSQ. At least 5.1 comes out very soon so I guess I'll have a bit more to do other than leveling a new job/profession or farming rep. I also intend to get the ilvl 460 gear, which I understand will take quite a few weeks. Finally, I still have plenties of raids and dungeons that I've yet to complete, thanks to the quick MSQ rush I did at the end of SB.
But yeah, I feel like I'll hit some post game depression or a similar feeling after I'm done with the MSQ LOL
