Cleared solo PT and now I’m going for the other DDs. So overall I’m having fun. Think the game is on the right path again but they need to fix job identity and complexity asap as a priority.

no it’s been shit since heavensward. literally nothing matters in this game including the story, it all just gets wiped in the next expansion
Remember patch 3.4? yeah that one in Heavensward where we got MSQ-Two Dungeons-Trial and the last raids of Alexander?
Well now, 9 years later we have the exact same content for 7.4 except one dungeon less and more time of waiting.
Of course people are leaving this game.

DD titles dont garner as much attention anymore desu. Not much else does in the game anymore besides Ultimate weapons but even thats going away because the amount of cheating and buying them is so out of control now which is the devs fault for not cracking down on it.
>>724830305 >how do you like more FFXI armor?
Yes please, XI gear designers knew how to make good looking sets. Sure as shit better than anything this dogshit team can put out.

From a dev perspective NEW players that joined up in EW should be spending their time catching up on old content. There's no way people that started the game in 2021 have done all that shit by now and kept up with new shit right? I've been playing since ARR and can barely keep up. The bottom line is with updates even happening 4 months apart, a new player has practically limitless content and should be playing with other new players so what gives?

power scaling fucks old content and the drops are shit outside of maybe 1-2 good cosmetics. quests in xiv are the most boring fetch quests in all of gaming and the story isn’t good enough main or otherwise to carry the action for an entire expansion. there’s also the matter of aether currents which is just busy work that handicaps you from making efficient time cutting through the 90% of quests that are walk to ABA and ABCAC on the map

I feel like Ultimate weapons and Legend titles already became meaningless a long time ago with the introduction of Unreal and the paid Legends proving themselves unable to do an Extreme-level fight

Freedom > not-freedom. Would Final Fantasy 3, 5, Tactics, etc all be better games if you couldn't multiclass? No? Then there is your answer. Freedom will always be better than rigid control. >Class identity
As if the classes had any identify left anyway and people weren't glamming it up as half-naked sluts while they tanked.

Are they finally going to deal with the technical debt? Is content finally going to actually be more dynamic and not static to the point that you can macro nearly everything? Will the overworld matter more? Will they stop making excuses for not adding in basic QoL and actually add it in?
>>724832925
I mean they did finally add hats for viera/hrothgar and now glams can be used on any class. Guess that means they're cleaning up some of the technical debt, yeah.

I don't know if I should laugh or weep for you
