Great PvE experience. Some issues that need to be ironed out still, but despite only being in Early Access, this game is a ton of fun.

Horrible start for a story. Gameplay is monotonous and repetitive. Because guess what? This is basically just a mobile game you can play on PC. Nothing really good going for this game besides a fairly decent character creator and look to the world.

Truly a 10/10 game. If you love the classic Resident Evil horror of earlier titles like RE2's Remake, as well as how RE4 Remake & RE8 plays, you will have a good time.

I only have ONE issue with this game. I was getting FPS drops at the first zone/area for Raccoon City despite my PC's specs. Otherwise, I was getting buttery smooth performance throughout the rest of the game even at high/max graphics.

Don't support a company that tries to sell you AI generated slop.

Game had a lot of potential. Has a stupid good character creator and customization. PvE is non-existent and it's effectively a P2W Comp PvP game now. All the interesting story stuff got removed. Truly sad to see where this game went.

I am obsessed with this game.

Fun game : )

Y'shtola best girl.

I have fallen into the FFXIV rabbit hole, but it's a very nice rabbit hole to be in.

If you play mostly for the main story, I am sorry to say that Dawntrail will disappoint you. Great ideas, horrible execution. It has its moments, but Dawntrail is honestly disappointing story wise. It is the start of a new story arc so I was never expecting it to be as exciting as Shadowbringers or Endwalker, but even with that in mind, Dawntrail's main story lands extremely short of the quality one would expect. Hopefully the team learns from the mistakes made here for the patch quests and the next expansion.

Gameplay wise, it's still FFXIV, so pretty good if this is your cup of tea.

Graphics wise, the graphics improvement was nice but the game still looks a decade old despite the updates from Dawntrail. The first four zones for Dawntrail lack that Final Fantasy feel as they far too heavily lean into their real world inspirations. However, the last two zones and the two city hubs look AMAZING. You are certainly in for a visual treat once you arrive there.

The music for Dawntrail is hit or miss. Some are good, some are outright horrible, especially the final song that plays in the last cutscene that goes into credits.

Here we have what could be one of the best PvE games of all time, but instead we have a game plagued with balancing issues, bugs that have been in the game since launch, a growingly toxic community, and a monetization system that does not respect your time and forces you either to spend hours grinding for premium currency or to cough up the cash despite having already paid $40 for the base game.

I genuinely recommend investing your time, money, and energy elsewhere.
