would rather that than "le ffxiv classic"
like a dlc for each expansion that retells the whole msq but with hard content, mmo stuff and more rpg mechanics. Stuff you get from it carries over to the main game as cosmetics
then it doesnt really bother future expansions with the default easy msq

can you explain this image to someone who hasn’t cared about this game since arr

We won and WoWtroons lost. 7.2 is a banger and devs DO listen, which is why they’re fixing the issues in 7.3. Don’t like it? Just go play other games and leave us alone. It’s not our fault that your game sucks. We aren’t going back to Torghast and garrisons. And didn’t a bunch of people rape women? Still not falling for it, Bobby Kotick.

If you don’t play FFXIV then you’re a bad person.

>>713529393
It’s not for western you dummy, chinks love this and no idea why shitposters acting like this will change anything

Yoshida hasn't played his own game since CBU3 fucked off to make XVI.

>>713529658
chinks despise it and 14 is already DOA

So that's why yoship finally admitted the quality of the game is in the shitter. I wonder if this means SE is finally going to make the effort to improve the game

It broke a lot of fragile people-shaped things. It's why XIV has such an active hatebase.

dawntrail killed the game for me. All the investment into the story, characters and world was broken and I don't think there's anything they can do to fix it.

They had back to back expansions with fantastic writing with real emotional depth that had me openly weeping at the end of both of them.

They fucked the entire thing into oblivion. It's unsalvageable.

This was a problem with raid design previously too, one of the ultimates stacked so much temporary effects that are needed for mechanics that classes couldn't do their rotations because any skills/spells that applied an effect couldn't resolve due to that character's active effect slots all being full

I don't get where retarded ideas like this come from. DRS was already notoriously underran and that shit had a queue system that didn't fight the players who just wanted to enter it like FT does.

The whole game from the MSQ / Normals portion is designed around doing it blind then the raiding portion of the game is enforced guide reading / watching with no realistic way to learn the fights blind unless you and your 7 compatriots have been around the block a few times.

EW was the first time hundreds of thousands of new people got to take their first swing at Savage and it burnt the fuck out of them just like everyone else that came before. Savage in it's entirety has always been a downwards line of participation, then there was the start of EW that saw a surge upward, then it was right back to that downward line for 6.2 and 6.4.

Don't make Savage bitchmade and nerf it, just copy paste it, slap AoE markers on it, make some (if any) instant death mitigatable and the mechanics apply a massive 80%+ damage down onto players for fucking them up, dole out some shite reward like 1 savage book per week per floor, and call it Hard Mode.
People can learn the fights blind (as god intended), failing mechanics means the boss enrages and kills everyone with half it's HP remaining, and the people who will neverever clear savage have something to do and grind if they want glamours and shit.

Savage's "You die in one hit to invisible shenanigans" is not a good way to learn a fight and never has been. Savage by design should be for people who've perfected the fight, it's why a Hard mode should exist where you can actually learn this shit. At a bare minimum it will make PuG Savage infinitely more palatable since the players can and will demand to see that Hard Mode clear before they let you join, they'll police themselves on that front for sure.

>Cater towards both with the absolute state of job design since casuals can't be bothered to play a game and would rather watch a move while sweats thinks that anything that doesn't contribute towards breaking mechanics and increasing your parse is design bloat

The last refuge for your "average" player is literally field content and that was skipped last expansion in favor of "Extreme dungeons but not really" and "Fagbook flash game but not really". They are designing the game for the bottom 20% of players and top 20% of players while leaving 60% of the playerbase out of the equation, they are making the EXACT same mistake that Blizz did with WoW and it's not funny anymore

>>713535582
Like I said, you can choose to believe it or not but I'm not that guy.

I'm surprised the game lasted as long as it did. Shadowbringers absolutely gutted healers, the formula and content release cycle was getting stale even before that, any mild criticism of the game was drowned out by the cultist fanbase, if the devs fucked up everyone was taking pity on them for no fucking reason, the fanbase got so high off the praise of being called "nice" that they became absolutely toxic and tried to enforce their superficial niceness on everyone, the UI was so absolute dogshit but devs kept telling everyone they can't fix it because the engine is ancient until modders fixed shit for them and suddenly they could implement the changes a year afterwards. This game was basically propped up by a fanbase that talked themself into a mass psychosis like some puppy that got abandoned by 3 previous owners and tried to defend their next owner with their lives.

Jobs have also all been clearly made easier in response to players thinking that the "old" rotations (pre-ShB and SB) was "too punishing" which is why they, for example, removed the penalty for missing positionals on MNK while also catering towards the sweats by removing all of the unique effects of cards on AST and diminishing the RNG mechanics

>>713536415
As much as I enjoyed the animation of Kaiten, it was nothing but button bloat. I hated having to press that button every fucking time just to get the damage I wanted. It was a pain in the ass. People should be bitching more about the constant SAM and NIN nerfs in PvP. I think by the time 8.0 releases, all of the ranged DPS classes will be the equivalent to the Ken of PvP.

>>713536261
>Removal of stance dancing that increased your DPS as tank and healer above even what is possible today
That was thanks to casuals being unable to do it and nothing else, like I stated before, any job mechanic that is visible on the parse are all still in the designs for each job with exceptions like mentioned

>Removal of Kaiten
Purely made to please the sweats since it was a fun abillity to use for casuals but if you break down how its "supposed" to be used it was "button bloat" since it only ever was a parse increase if you used it on one specific action

If you can't understand the difference then you are the reason why XIV is in its current state and you should either leave or play the game that is being catered towards you

>Content is casualised because MSQ is braindead
That's wrong, they are just creatively bankrupt and can't think of doing the MSQ any other way.
A true casual feature is the single player mode with trust. A true casual content is the alliance raid.
Whereas raidfaggots used to have a savage/ultimates alternating, with only 7.5 being empty for them. Now they got FT, CoDCAR and criterion as well. And don't forget all these useless deep dungeons played by 10 schizos.

>Jobs have also all been clearly made easier in response to players thinking that the "old" rotations
Anon, they literally said themselves that's raidtfaggots crying, that they homogenized everything while making the difficulty about the fights themselves rather than playing the jobs. They changed BLM in 7.2 so that it can work in M8S.

Great story that made you want to be part of the game world, with the hope that DT will be even better. DT was also flaunted as beginning of a new 10 year arc, meaning people who missed the ARR era wanted to be part of that.

The way tsubame works now is just reverse kaiten, and the button press bloat never stopped you just spam unsatisfying shinten more.

Really all that happened was they made the big dick satisfying iaijutsu move, that used to visibly chunk the boss HP bar, and turned it into spammy slop. Kaiten was the inhale before the exhale. The variance on DH crit midare’s was part of the fun, that was removed because of raidfag whining. The job lost its soul

The funny thing about raidfags trying to revise history it doesn’t make sense from any perspective at the micro or macro level.

Normal mode dungeons are easy because sweaty faggots cried about taking more than fifteen minutes to speedrun through and get their tomestones you lying fucking freak. Casuals never entered the equation because by their nature they weren't running the dungeon more than once or twice.

How come Yoshi P and the other devs just took it on the chin instead of trying to prevent this from happening? Was Yoshi too coked up from success and didn’t even realize the warning signs?

>>713536953
I’m glad TP is gone, same with stance dancing. And no it was never a fucking dance, you did a few gcds in tank stance then switch to dps stance for the reset of the fight

>>713537823
Because schizoboi here dumps his XIV hate folder here on cooldown every. Single. Thread.

>>713538130
the new adventuring foray came out and the dungeon associated with it is too difficult to get into for organized groups but too difficult for randos to succeed in because you get 1 attempt before having to wait 1.5 hours for it to reappear

yoshi-p in the last liveletter said that this was by design and that neither issue can be solved with their current resources

>>713536681
>That's wrong, they are just creatively bankrupt and can't think of doing the MSQ any other way.
Oh, is that why they have nerfed the "Role play" scenarios EVERY SINGLE TIME they have been implemented AFTER the fact? Because they are clearly too creatively bankrupt to make anything even slightly challenging if it has a cut scene tied too it

>Anon, they literally said themselves that's raidtfaggots crying
pic related and here is a link to the LL where they talk about it https://youtu.be/g4Z13W86PpY?t=784

What makes a normal fight fun?

>>713538310
wait, so they made eureka again, with that one endgame dungeon that opens up when you do all the requirements? I remember you couldnt auto revive and someone had to use revive and some other thing to get people to come back. otherwise, you were unable to go back in and had to wait the next time.

Never liked that design.

For a supposed massive MMO game why does it feel like it's on bare minimum content roll out? It feels like FF11 level of maintenance mode.

The problem is the guy leading the game is too old, tired and wants to retire.
We need a young guy in his late 30s early 40s with energy, ambition and something to prove to take over, with a vision.
Until YoshiP steps down and passionate people can take over things won't change, the content cadence is a formula and it's so fucking stale and that is on YoshiP, he's micromanaged and min maxed content roll out to eliminate excitement in favour of predictability.

>>713538454
Sucks, I love it tho

>>713537903
I hated it cause it’s a result of two things.
1) Diversity consultants that badgered in the idea that they need to avoid “problematic” things like colonialism and national conflict. While basing the regions off IRL that was a result of that.
B) localization in ARR/HW actually made things darker on purpose. Mentions of rape and stuff don’t exist in JP. It’s a funny conundrum where people complain games should just do a straight translation, and yet the most memorable things in XIV were made up in English.

>>713538339
the roleplay scenarios haven't been nerfed in their base difficulty, just the optional easy mode you have to fail at to get to choose

>>713538454
Basically yes. There was some really weird energy to that live letter, he literally said that they didn't like that too many people could participate in DRS so they made the entry in the new zone more convoluted than BA.

>>713537823
The alternative is playing world of warcraft can you blame them

>>713538454
Yes they're retarded. YoshiP thinks inconvenience mechanics = fun. It explains so much.

>>713538575
sounds liek the shareholders told him to make sure content is more extended

What are the odds they will blame everything but the shit story focusing on Wuk Lamat and her terrible English VA?

>>713538460
Both YoshiP and... Whatever the grey haired dudes name is, still work on the game so is half of the team according to the big man himself. The truth is that they are targeting BOTH the retards and the autists when they are making these decisions, they are being more lenient on retards who can't handle the mechanics and being more lenient on autists who simply don't want too.

>>713538543
Last time they did it (as far as I know at least) was with the body snatcher quest in EW where they literally added more time to the timer and made the shitty solider your puppeteering stronger because people where crying about "anxiety" or some shit

>>713538868
wuk is unpopular in every language so its not the VA's fault. that isn't an excuse for his performance though

>>713538868
demote Hiroi back to writing sidequests and put more focus on the WoL and Sphene
there, we're off to a really good start

>>713538868
>they care about the na va
Anon people in general don’t like her because she isn’t well written

>>713538947
the base difficulty for 'out in the cold' is the same as it was on release. the easy mode got easier, and again, you have to fail the regular difficult one first to access the easy version

>They don't have the money to make a Normal and Savage version of Fork Tower

You now remember they spent millions on brand new data centres in EU called Shadow (that no one used), on NA with Dynamis, in JP and opened OCE data centres.

HAHAHAHAHA

>>713539080
Isn't that what they've been doing in the patches?
I'm still catching up

>>713538517
This argument falls apart when you understand the dev team is constantly shifted around by corporate for other projects. A new leader doesn’t change that.

>>713539136
them not filling up immediately could be a reason why xiv isn't getting more resources

>>713538868
they already did that. they not once said the problem was the woke menace at Square

>>713539210
Yeah if only YoshiP wasn't the head of a development studio, wasn't on the board for years, wasn't Producer and Director? So, what is he doing with all that influence? Nothing. No wait, I know what he's doing he's busy sucking off Sakaguchi.

>>713539112
the fact a tranny voiced her is the icing on the cake. I still find that fucking hilarious that the tranny got stuck with the most hated character in the game. Fitting

>>713539136
I got tons of S ranks on Shadow. I mean, you could never make characters there so it was just for statics to meet, or for people to grind FATEs and S ranks in peace

>>713535945
I don’t get why they didn’t do a CLL/Dalriada THEN make a savage based on that. Hell that’s what they’re literally doing for Deep Dungeon 4!
It’s like all they could think of was either BA or DR/DRS.

>>713539136
Oh and they keep fucking funneling money from XIV into other projects that almost all fall flat on their asses. Remember that Splatoon clone they made? No one else does and for a good reason, that didn't stop SE from dumping loads of money and dev time into it!

>>713539476
they were probably told this: remake eureka hydatos but make a third of the FATES CEs instead

>>713539471
It was weird as fuck going to Shadow and running around Limsa and I was the only person there.

>>713539561
And the coolest thing about the FATEs in Bozja is you had chains tied to the overall story. And duels were a nice bonus, which would’ve been huge if there was a “double silver coins” buff for clearing. Like the duels.

RPR is actually really fun

>>713538073
>no you didn't dance because if you played properly and had a competent ninja and co-tank playing properly then you'd be able to do it optimally!
Damn also it turns out that if you do savage fights properly you never get hit so they should remove damage too and let you autowin!

>>713539710
i like the duels in theory but they suck in practice

>>713539136
I still don’t get why the fuck didn’t they make it like drs, all this added on shit of having to wait 30 minutes in a instant and chance even not get in

you are 30 years old and have brown skin

you dedicate every waking moment of your existence to spamming threads on /v/ because you failed at life

and even now wow is still losing
will brown shitskin spammers ever get a break?

you wasted your entire life
you wasted it to own the xivvies and now you can never have a family or future beyond dying in your room as your parents yell at you to get a job

pretty fitting end for a mexican shotacon pedo

>>713539501
Foamstars also used AI art assets, I read an interview with a bunch of those Square Enix devs they think ai will help reduce the cost of rnd and they maybe right, but will people buy their games? I don't think they will.

>>713539415
Yea I don’t care enough about trannies to hate them like that, I just dislike the character

>>713536949
The loudest vidya "enthousiasts are those who wants body type 1 and 2 in every games, so the japaneses had to bend the knee after years of being shouted at by them

Luckily current 14 is so bad that it cured many retards mmo addictions, good for them.

>>713540024
Okay, I' sorry or glad that happened I guess but what does that have to do with XIV?

A big problem with this game is that the game takes 150 hours if you know what you’re doing (most new players are not, so it’s more like 200) to even reach end game content.
A game like that will not get many new players. It’s impossible.

>>713540176
The game isn't designed to rush to endgame. You get each expansion's "endgame" at the level caps. So you can take a break from the MSQ and do harder content at 50,60,70,80,90, and now you are at current endgame

>>713540176
Yoshida said the systems were already in place to make Dawntrail a new starting point for a new character and they only need to flip the switch. But it's Dawntrail so LMAO, they realized that wouldn't be any better for keeping new players and haven't switched it on yet.

>>713539841
are you braindead? literally everyone was using defensive stance only to pickup agro

>>713538245
Bro is it just me or is this like those cliche stories where the protagonist learns the power of friendship but then ends up relying on it too much and gets abused by those who join in later but lack responsibility and ability?

I get the feeling he initially was too clouded by success from nakama power and when he finally realized he was wrong the usual woke shit has already parasitized the studio probably with some Sony burger as backing.

>>713540135
nah, it just made them go play wow or, even worse, gacha games

>>713540135
Yeah, both XIV and WoW shitting the bed made me swear off MMOs completely. Now I just play singleplayer games with the occasional COOP session with friends and I'm surprised at just how many other games I've had time to play as soon as I stopped giving a shit about MMOs

>>713540338
You can stop pretending you played back then.

>>713540298
But if you want to play a game you want to do what everyone else is doing. You get a trailer for the current endgame and by the time you reached it you missed out.
You can believe what I say or not, I don’t give a fuck, I’m just stating a fact that is self evident to anyone who even considered playing this game

>>713540176
This game isn’t about getting to the end asap, you best play wow or some random dying Korean game for that.

>>713540307
compaing Ifrit normal to Valigarmanda is wild. and the scions and Vrtra showing up during the second attack on Tulliyolall would be confusing as fuck

>>713540342
it was because of Sweet Baby Inc consulting that Square hid from us after they were found out. They're the reason we got that DEI chorus music in the credits and during the train montage. Their hands were over everything in this expansion.

>>713538339
Man I miss Stormblood DRK and it's "overly complexity" and "too many actions" like blood price and dark arts.

>>713540393
I did you stupid nigger, would post my 2013 achievements but niggers like you would say it’s fake

>>713540439
Damn that’s game over then. To think Yoshi didn’t even realize how big a trap Sweet Baby was. That’s basically admitting to negligence on keeping up with the news and competition.

Will we get ANOTHER attack on Solution 9 in 7.3?

>>713540416
>game releases a trailer for current content
>potential player thinks oh this looks cool maybe I can check it out
>learns that if he starts playing right now he won’t be able to play the content for the trailer he just watched while still relevant
Now what do you think is the average response to that?

>>713540439
Where was it "found out"?
We know they used some company, but where is SBI confirmed?

>>713540587
that marxist shit destroys everything good and wholesome. and whats even sadder is that they renamed their company to something new and now are far more hidden, but still getting work.

The amount of samefaggings and fake posts in this thread is insane, 14 is doing very good right now and you're schizo babble won't change that.

>>713531995
this, but with Wuk Lamat

>>713531995
this but Khloe

>>713540587
>That’s basically admitting to negligence on keeping up with the news and competition.
Yeah no shit, in the era where companies rollbacked their DEI initiatives and didn't adopt the woke flags for their social media profiles Square Enix took this moment to open an official account for FF14 on Bluesky the leftist twitter, and changed their profile pictures to pic related on their official Square Enix account.

>>713540683
There were two main instances.

>in an interview, Yoshida confirmed they brought in consulting agency to make sure they are sensitive to south american designs
>Sweet Baby Inc is listed on Square's companies they work with page
>people find out. Square removes it quickly

There was an entire mess about it on both twitter and the Square enix forums. Even Japan was getting on it. I dont have any images but you can likely find the discussions with a little digging.

>>713540525
If you did you would know that tanks could only stay in dps stance for extended periods if they had a competent NIN to throw aggro at them, if the party all Diversioned properly, and if the co-tank did their job properly, ideally it was a PLD for Cover. Basically you're complaining that the mechanic wasn't real because you could successfully pull off a high risk high reward playstyle if everyone did their jobs properly. You're a fucking idiot and you're the reason the game is like it currently is.
>hurr but i'm gonna do the mechanic right every time so the mechanic shouldn't exist and i should get my good boy points for free!

BASTARD BENCHOD BITCH DO NOT REDEEM THE DAWNTROON

>>713540868
So there's no confirmation?

>>713540768
If we ignore the greatest possibility that the higher ups responsible are just dumb and negligent on current affairs spending too much time on their yachts and shit, then I feel 2nd place would be something like how Diddy setup then blackmailed people. A fucking rapper managed such an operation for over a decade, no way you convincing me Blackrock lacks the ability to do similar shit.

>>713540483
Every single time a dev talks about walking back "complexity" or removing "button bloat" it always ends up backfiring because they always prune too much, without exception. I mean, that is what players want right? Less content and ways to interact with the game is always a good thing right?

>>713540708
It's literally a nothing burger, all the schizos whining are a minority thankfully.

>>713540943
Square also has their own Ethics Department. The confirmation comes from the devs refusing to name who the consulting company was. It lined up way too perfectly with SBI disappearing from Square's list. Considering the stuff the expansion hasm, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what happened.

>>713540994
I miss ShB summoner

>>713540994
I want more buttons to press. I want no less than 4 filled hotbars for every single job in this game. Controller players? Fuck em.

>>713540878
>NIN to throw aggro at them, if the party all Diversioned properly
>that happens
You couldn’t even get retards to goad you and that was just a button press, you live in some fantasy land that most players are good and press buttons and read tool tips

>>713523353 (OP)
It's not just that the game is boring as fuck and normies are dropping it

>>713540994
complexity is not a good thing by itself. nothing is better because it takes 4 steps to perform rather than 2

>>713541128
That's exactly my fucking point, dipshit.

>>713540708
>>713541013
As someone who has played since 1.0, FF14 is shit. Just like many other games I played with too shit after the wrong people got onto the dev team and priorities shifted (i.e. WoW, LoL, Elden Ring) I was willing to play the game forever as long as they kept the game going down a good path. Square dug its own grave appealing to globalist standards.

>>713541121

That’s what I’m thinking, Sony having already thrown their HQ to cali gives me the feeling their resistance over in Japan is much weaker than say Nintendo and other companies that are still rooted at home. There’s just way too many ways to get blackmailed or some shit.

I used to play on PS4 back in HW but I still think there is definitely an element of accommodating console players.

>venat artist just makes nikke art and porn nowadays

>>713541483
its not exactly blackmailing. It's just strongarming companies to receive funding while obveying the gloablist standards or else you lose funding. And execs of these companies, especially public companies, are greedy bastards. They'll sell their own children if it increases their profits. And since excs are so disconnected from ground zero of game development, they have no care for what happens as long as number goes up.

>>713528267
I know a guy who made one of the GFWL launch titles. To this day he's pissed about the "Require gold for multiplayer" thing because they sprung it on the publishing partners 90% of the way through the dev cycle.

I don't really care much for the doomposting autism but my perma autistic about 14 friend and his entire group all unsubbed in the lapse of 2ish weeks very recently.

They've been subbed nonstop since heavensward and are extremely autistic and obsessed with the game, so it kinda shocked me, at this point there's no denying it anymore, somethings fucked if even these people are leaving.

>>713541684
Because it was a dance in 90% of situations because as you just pointed out the ideal situation that would enable you to sit in damage stance full time almost never happened.

>>713541748
it's called using a keyboard, faggot.

>>713541776
That’s not really a dance anon, like 99% if the time you never switch back to tank stance for a majority of fights

Assuming they were to rework the entire class/combat system They won't, what kind of things would you like to see?
Obvious things like horizontal gear, I'd like to see them bring back wand/shield combos for BLM/WHM. Honestly giving some classes a single wield/double wield option would be neat. It'd be cool if MCH could dual wield pistols to reduce CD further at the cost of shortening cast range.

>>713541785
Umm no I will not use a kb&m, plus I’m pretty sure like 30% of the players use controllers

>>713542037
That's wrong, because the ideal situation to allow you to do that almost never occurred. And if the party DID play properly, then you all earned the right to sit in damage stance and speed things up. Again, you're arguing that a mechanic shouldn't exist if you can succeed at it.

>>713542134
They need to rework the whole game

>>713541193
>complexity is not a good thing by itself
Neither is simplifying since satisfaction form game mechanics can only be achieved through the player reaching a "flow" state. There is a golden mean and the XIV devs have both overshot and undershot it because they don't seem to understand what players finds satisfying about their combat system
