Done.
Feeling like this is probably the worst patch since launch, storywise.
Just a clusterfuck of writing and unearned "payoff". I felt like parts of 2.1 felt like there might be some rewrites going in in the background, and I am more confident than ever that they're having some confusion of fighting about the story over on the dev side of things. Too many scenes that felt like they should have been super important that were just tossed in. That last one in one fight was probably the coolest thing in ZZZ today, but it was sandwhiched by such drek. Why is Yixuan here AGAIN for the last fight of a patch, AGAIN forced into a team she has no connection or synergy with both narratively or combatively? How do you go from that cinematic fight to them follow it up with a fucking standing around zero animation hologram scene for Carole Arna? The letter from Isolde at the end felt like a slap in the face, like "well we know this was a bit of a mess so we'll just have Isolde spell it out in a letter like the end of that Lonely Island "Ooh Watcha Say" sketch, despite the fact that everything that happened was as simple as it could be, it was just lamely presented to us.
Man. Honestly I'm kind mad. I like the characters for the patch a lot and they were fun as fuck to play but this just wasn't good.
It's also real fucking buggy. Game has a ton of issues transitioning between cutscenes and load times were way longer than they usually are.
