FF14 7.3 delivers a solid story, but its most exciting parts are found elsewhere

Dawntrail is over. The FF14 7.3 patch this week brought a conclusion to Final Fantasy 14's divisive expansion story, and did so in style. I'm not really here to talk about narrative, however; without getting too deep into spoilers, the finale played out in relatively the manner I think most people expected, though that didn't stop me from yelling out loud twice during its closing scene. That's fairly standard for the MMORPG; while 'third patch' climaxes are typically great, they're usually a known quantity by the time they arrive, with all the pieces already on the board. What has me most excited for the future is everything else; a litany of smaller but important changes that suggest Square Enix is listening to feedback.
