Dawntrail started good, we were told hey guys summer vacay and chillin with our homie wuk lamat, thats awesome, something lowkey after the entire hydazark stuff was swag.
first half of dt msq was good, it felt good to be what the scions were to us, a helper that just followed, then halfway thru it feels msq shifts back to us as thr MC since wuk “had her arc” and we were given the hightech cybercity and all that jazz. fast forward and uh oh! world ending threat! i didnt enjoy that set up. whatever, it was a slip up and SE wanting to keep people engaged, fine.
Patch quests time (up to 7.3) and 7.1 a bit sloppy but they wanted to try it. ok.
7.2, i enjoyed a fair amount.
7.3 had the craziest writing turn, bringing back a threat we were suppose to be away from. how abysmal.
Well if story is bad… then the other content has to be good right? Honestly yeah, the raids are beyond peak, cosmic explo(a place for crafters and gatherers) while dumbed down a tiny bit just feels alot more grand and engaging then ishgard resto, occult crescent isn’t bad, i think eureka was lightning in a bottle,

I think I was okay with this expac at first a solid 6.5/10 but after 7.3 and all the writing flaws from SE, it drops to a 4/10 for me personally. I only leave a negative review because I want the game I love to do better since it really feels the XIV team is just starting to get complacent and i want them to do better. so please do try. thank u.

i love this game, i feel it can be hard to get into but once you get in and get past the design quirks it's an enjoyable and lovely story, i wholeheartedly recommend this game.
it meant alot to me!!
100/100 BABYYYY see you all in the dlc

i love lesbians dude

I LOVE THIS GAME! but it has sooome problems, mainly just the story didnt hit as hard, but the music and the gameplay is super fun!!! i recommend the first alot more but this is nice if you just want some mindless fun :D

this game is so fun, i am loving going diving with my friends. Love helping my corp dispose of evidence! the cops do NOT need it what so ever!!! My heart to Pharma Corp forever!
Also, this game is fun, and priced so well, get it and help us clean up the ocean! ^.^

(also this game is fun and silly, cant wait to see what updates come out)

i keep deleting and rewriting this review and getting nowhere, so basically, i feel the game lacks general polish in many aspects, quests, exp, skill tree, gear, crafting, etc. if you wanna play it just play it solo, game isnt very multiplayer friendly rn, i will keep an eye on the updates for this game bc i like the ideas it has going for it and learning more about the Shroud! But for now I cannot see myself playing it in any capacity

i love my friends so much! i'm so excited to play a fun rpg board game-esq game with them! hoping it gets me closer to them ♥

oh. okay.

(Writing this review, the game is currently in Early Access V.0.5.19)
Temtem is a monster collection game, where it thrives in the competitive scene with every battle being a 2v2. It might be a new upcoming game and while it doesn't have those familiar faces you've seen in Pokemon (like those darn pikachus and charizards) it will have alot of Temtem that you learn to just adore (I'm looking at you Ganki, and Granpah) it offers a lot of neat and innovating changes with the stamina and moves that need to hold. Another very cool concept is the MMO/Co-op bit of it, its fun to see a bunch of Temtrainers gathered in an area just going for that 5% chance and you can play co-op with a friend and each of you has 3 temtem from your teams and that just makes it so fun to see what you and your friend can make synergy wise. Excited to see where this game goes! 9/10..
Or it would be...
until the friend I was playing this game with reminded me about SV's and TV's. Now, he isn't my friend he is my rival who I hate. I wish he didn't exist to tell me about those.
Grinding for a good SV takes awhile (but oh so worth it.) and TV grinding is nice due to Proteins and Coward's Cloak
Real Review: 10/10 I have alot of fun with the game. ~Polygon IGN.

For the 50 dollars in total I spent on this game (For me and my friend to have that succulent cooperation.) it was a mess, if you like being invading by one NPC, having poise not work most of the time unless you level adaptability and endurance, you get nowhere close to even having leather armor poise, and before people flip out saying you can have poise, have you invaded and while wearing Havel's armor been hit by a dagger and staggering like you were wearing no armor. I have. Do you enjoy having spells hit you from anywhere? Being one-shot by a single spell? Being invaded and having the ultimate tryhard use Climax on your friend, running off, eating a Twilight Herb then popping the biggest soul imaginable? No. We weren't ganking, we 1v1 the invader. Do you like backstabs from across the map? If you can tolerate all of these! Then...How?.. This game is awful and sucks, all of these horrible things, then the bosses and music weren't memorable. I only remember bs hitbox(Fume Knight) and janky hitbox weeaboo. Man, after all these things, if they were dealt with, maybe, JUST MAYBE, we could have an enjoyable game. Overall -10/10 ~IGN Guide.
