Less content

[Addy]

It's impossible to make everyone happy. Especially when you're dealing with an often unreasonable group like an mmo playerbase.

Agreed, honestly they could cater to everyone's demands and someone will still complain there isn't enough content and they're cutting corners.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the future of the game. As someone who enjoys dabbling in many aspects of the game itself I'm not too worried about content being spread out a bit more than before. I'm glad that crafting and gathering is getting more attention and focus, making it a bigger part of the game overall. I'm also glad that we're getting more story heavy content as...ultimately that's the main reason to play a Final Fantasy game in the first place.

I do have some concerns in regards to customisation, though. I'm hoping we'll see the missing genders added at some point as well as an overhaul for the customisation options for the older playable races. We're reaching a point where certain NPC's look a lot more polished and interesting than player characters.

From reading the highlights I found of the interview, if the whole Queensblade stuff and Ocean Fishing end up being as fun as it's being described in the interview I can live without a Deep Dungeon. Especially if Yoshida follows through with his statement of adding leveling QoL content later on.

There has been no official translation yet.

They don't do ever "official" translations for Interviews with news outlets, only with live letters and dev blogs.

Didn't people complain when they released stuff in an unpolished state? Now they are taking longer to polish things like the relic stuff, we're getting new devs making savage content, new different types of content instead of the same things, people still complain..

Its almost like people went 'backseat developers'
they ask for more polished stuff but released on the set period they are used too.
good stuff.

i know people still run POTD but do people even run the stormblood one? POTD wait time is usually 30 seconds to 1 minute while the stormblood one is 30+ minutes so why add a new deep dungeon if everyone is just going to continue running POTD
