The FFXIV collab quest was also free but it's so much better.
>The writing is appropriately silly and lighthearted for a low-stakes crossover, and there are fun dialogue exchanges between the party and Y'jhimei that highlight the differences between their worlds.
>The boss fight with Garuda is really fun and well-designed, taking advantage of XV's mechanics by encouraging you to fight her in midair, having her spawn a bunch of targetable entities that make it harder to just lock onto her and spam warpstrike, her summoning Suparna and Chirada and making you choose between taking them out to relieve the pressure on your party or dealing more damage to her, et cetera.
>Much better than the boring-ass Terra boss fight that's just "spam Technique to win" and never meaningfully evolves
>When the quest ends, Y'jhimei actually *stays* in the FFXV world and you can visit her whenever you want to fight Garuda again and get some sick gear
>(I didn't even realize Terra Kind gives you Sarah's sword after completion until I saw it mentioned in a GameFAQs post, and her sword is dogshit anyway lol)
>Oh, and the FFXIV quest also gives you a new summon, because hey, why not?
On top of all that, why Terra Battle? Why some random mobile game that no one played and unceremoniously died in 2020? Is it just because Sakaguchi was involved with it? Even Ass Creed made more sense for a collab quest because at least Ass Creed was popular at the time.
I'm just so baffled by how bad this quest is. No one ever talks about it and I just needed to vent lol.
