Yes, but not if they keep premiering the TT douchebags who hate japanese women.

I bet only the girl in this picture plays the game. The other three guys probably haven't even touched the game. Just like all other AAA studios, people who work on the games don't actually play or like the games.

You'd be correct. Brown one is an actual animefag bong-thai but old and married to a stereotypical twitter bitch, left is a japanese-hating hapa who jumps on any fad to make him look more niche but desperately craves mainstream western twitter/bluesky likes, right is a twitchleech who pretends to like things for views. None of them can speak japanese for shit.
Their whole thing is catering to people who don't actually like manga and anime but ironic weebs (which two of them are).

wouldn't matter, they've already contributed heavily to the next expansion since SE's content pipeline is slow as shit.
the entire next expansion was already likely planned before dawntrail even had a chance to sour the entire playerbase.
it takes SE like a year to go from concept to having something in the game for even simple shit like outfits.

She'd say that.

I mean the retarded Kate shit didn't help the game but the game itself sucked for a long while now. Kate had nothing to do with job class changes making them less and less unique classes, or making dungeons all the same shit. Or the boring ass questing in the zones.

Congratulations on completely removing yourself from the topic, and simultaneously agreeing that this is a poopsock power-gamer's problem and not a 99% playerbase problem

I do mean this genuinely: this is not a problem for 99% of players, and MMOs that cater to the 1% don't last, hence Yoshida's teased solution for job uniquity is just general reworks and whatever the hell "something new on top of what exists" means (probably something like a new gauge)

>>725391845
>actually only poopsock power-gamers play more than one job or do content besides the msq every few months
You're doing a great job convincing me that the job system isn't an important feature in a Final Fantasy game. Keep it up! Gag on a shotgun while you're at it.

>How would (you) fix FFXIV?
It's unfixable. The entire format is outdated.
But if I had to summarize the general appeal of FFXIV it'd be its story campaigns. Therefore it stands to reason more effort should be put into making the next main scenario more fun to play, with more gameplay to it. Hard content that requires people to learn a pattern of invisible AOEs for 40 hours should go. Instead content should be session-based and easy to jump into. For this the whole reward and progression model needs to be revised. But arguably it's not as important as getting a better serial format going on for the storyline.

Introduce Date Night quests.
Once a week or so, you can choose an NPC, probably Scions or Scion-adjacent to start with more options implemented later, and go out on a date with them.
Repeated dates with the same one will raise affection levels similar to how Custom Deliveries work, and you get rewards as it goes up culminating with a romantic cutscene at max.

Even if that were true, and Ishikawa was back as the full writer, and they unfucked the classes, and brought back job quests, and further unfucked healers, that would mean that I still would have to buy 7.X and play through it, so no.
