"This would not have been possible in the game before Dawntrail" sums up a lot of my praise for this xpac: they showed us that FFXIV is ready to do something different for the next 10 years of content!

I also wonder if there was just some designer somewhere in the team that was just waiting for this chance to finally go COMPLETELY NUTS on something like this. I feel like there's a lot of enthusiasm in her design!
