    Dawntrail One Year Later

    We're halfway through the expansion cycle and that means Dawntrail is one entire year old. It's been a divisive expansion but how does it hold up now that it's had time to marinate? Does its slow-burn story of grief and loss hold up, do the pay-offs pay-off, or are the haters right? Victor and Nadia discuss the arc of 7.0, what it did right, where it might have stumbled, and the lessons we can take from the powerful narrative.Tune in to live recordings of the show every other Monday at https://www.twitch.tv/bloodgodpod and subscribe for ad-free episodes, discord access, and more at https://www.patreon.com/bloodgodpod In this episode: Expensive cash shop items Moogle Treasure Trove The Primals: Dark Decades album mini-review Wuk Lamat and Sphene as foils Music Used in this Episode: Taco Delight - [Final Fantasy XIV - Dawntrail] Morrow's Might - [Final Fantasy XIV - Dawntrail] Windswept Echoes - [Final Fantasy XIV - Dawntrail] Paved in Solitude - [Final Fantasy XIV - Dawntrail]
