Final Fantasy XIV isn't exactly "failing" in the conventional sense, but it is showing signs of stagnation and player dissatisfaction, particularly among its long-time community. Several factors contribute to this growing discontent.

First, the game's content model has become predictable and formulaic. Each expansion and patch cycle brings the same structure: a few dungeons, a raid tier, a trial, and some side content. While consistent, this approach has led to "content fatigue," where veteran players feel there's nothing new or innovative to keep them engaged. The once-praised MSQ (main scenario quest) structure now often feels bloated with filler and lacks the narrative punch seen in earlier expansions like *Heavensward* or *Shadowbringers*.

Second, class design has been streamlined to the point of homogenization. Many jobs have lost their mechanical complexity and identity in an effort to balance accessibility and performance, frustrating players who once enjoyed mastering intricate rotations or unique toolkits. This design direction alienates high-end players and reduces gameplay depth.

Third, the game’s notorious reliance on instanced content over true open-world experiences has made the world feel static and lifeless. Zones are beautiful but largely empty outside of FATE trains or hunt marks. Housing remains limited and inaccessible for many, further contributing to a lack of player-driven permanence in the game world.

Finally, Square Enix’s response to community feedback is often slow or dismissive. Longstanding quality-of-life requests and complaints about server performance, UI limitations, and outdated systems like glamours or the market board go unaddressed for years.

In summary, while FFXIV isn’t in freefall, it *is* coasting on goodwill and legacy. Without meaningful innovation and better engagement with player feedback, the sense of magic and momentum that once defined the game risks slipping away.

Remember. You paid for this slop.

Dawntrail simply reinforces the theory that Tencent is injecting wokeslop into everything for cheap corpo takeovers. SE is next after ubisoft on the buyout chopping block
