This I'd like to know because what people seem to have missed is that we're coming down from a high of constant world-ending situations in Endwalker. Sure, Post-Patch Endwalker was BAD, but I don't think Dawntrail is horrible or bad as everyone keeps wanting to yell about. I think it's actually good pacing wise, though people focus quite a lot on Wuk Lamat because of the VA controversy since 6.55.

While the story isn't overtly bad in the Rite of Succession half, we learn more about the cultures and such since this is an entirely new world for us - a continent we've yet to explore. People miss the mark that we're going on an adventure of our own. Not to mention? This MSQ is 100 Quests long. That's the shortest we've ever had, though cutscenes do pad that time.

One issue I've seen crop up is "Why isn't WoL in the spotlight?" It's because we're not this expansion. We're essentially along for the ride, enjoying our time with friends we're familiar with. G'raha even says words that are important in regards to the journey in 6.55 and they're referenced in MSQ.

People need to get it out of their heads that we're just 'babysitting' early on, when in reality Wuk was a sheltered cat that begun to learn about her people in the first place. We may not know this til' later, but it's important in regards to her character. This expansion isn't the WoL's expansion as it has been since ARR - it's good to have other characters in the spotlight.
