Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker (PC)
EW > ShB > HW > SB > ARR
FFVII has been my favourite entry in the series for some 20+ years but this (that being FFXIV as a whole, from ARR to the end of EW) has just taken the top spot for me. What an incredible journey it has been. Sad to see this story come to an end but excited to see where they go next with the MSQ!

Now I can finally look at those, I'm glad I'm not the only one who took far too many screenshots of this game
![lol :lol:](./images/smilies/lol.gif)
As ever yours look great! My selection below!
Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker (PC)
I thought long and hard about where it ranks, and at the end of the day came to two different rankings. In terms of story, I'd agree:
EW > ShB > HW > SB > ARR
In terms of a complete expansion though, looking at just the expansion itself from start to finish, I'd say:
HW > ShB > EW > SB > ARR
There was...too much aimless running around with little to break up cutscenes for me to say that, individually, this was the best expansion on its own. But more than anything EW is the sum of itself and everything that came before. I'd agree that FFXIV as a whole - from ARR to EW - is by far the best entry in the franchise, and it's not even close. Can't wait to see where they go next!
Glad to have shared it with you

Great shots bud & it has been really nice being able to share the EW launch with you (& Isi) too
Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker (PC)
Followed a train today just to take some high resolution screenshots with all battle effects turned on lol. I normally have them turned off for anyone outside of a party (and simplified for party members) but battles (from a distance) look so incredibly cool & colourful with them all turned on like this.

Those make me want to turn all battle effects back on, even though they basically blinded me during hunt trains in Shadowbringers
They look great!!!

Yeah, trying to play in big groups like that with all of the effects turned on (especially if you're melee), can be blinding haha. Watching on from a distance though, they can look pretty amazing!

I love the look of Sifu! It had flown completely under my radar, but when I saw Lirik playing it it looked great!

Avorion looks like a neat little space game! Not one I'd seen before!
Further investigation definitely required

I've been building new ships to dominate the galaxy in Avorion. Here's the Nudge Unit and Voyager 7 flanking Wok's Station.
