New weapons with higher base damage then relics

[Kayvindra]

There is a big difference. Back in the abyssea era relics were upgraded at the same time empyreans came out. Empyreans got to 85, relics/mythics got to 85 in the same patch, empyreans got to lv90 relics/mythics were 90 in the same patch and so on.

Now all we got is new weapons come out with 100+ base damage over 99 r/m/e and SE says, we have an outline of something we might do to boost up lv99 R/E/M but we don't know if we have the man power to implement it or not.

My thoughts EXACTLY. "We don't know IF we can do the upgrades the way we want them and IF we'll have enough manpower to do so." This doesn't make me too hopeful.

They've mentioned they wanted this sort of thing where there is an endgame gear ladder though. They want to steer away from the older format of sidegrades for years.

If anything is coming out of left field, it's the seemingly endless disapproval from the English-speaking players of this new game direction. I'm beginning to worry that I might have to learn Japanese if I want to keep playing this game into the forseeable future because there's been a marked increase in the number of English players complaining about changes well before they're even fully realized.

Dude - JPs complain just as much if not more than English players do

Just because you can't read it doesn't mean it doesn't happen

I spend most of my time on the OFs browsing the JP forums because the things they complain about are absolutely hilarious

Anyone able to translate their thoughts on this? JPs will be the ones they listen to.

If you want to know what JPs complain about in the OFs - just add a healthy dose of PS2 4ever and extreme EN-3PT-phobia to everything we complain about

For every posted opinion in the NA forums regarding content there is almost sure to be almost an exact equivalent in the JP forums (but the reverse is not true)

As I've mentioned before - they also complain regularly about the unresponsiveness of the developers so it's not unique to us

So JP are just as displeased with today's update as we are?

Sorry, I did not mean to imply that Japanese players don't complain. I was trying to say I should learn Japanese because I'm worried about the possibility of all the English players quitting the game and then I'd have no one to play it with.

OH REALLY!

本当にやってくれたですね、私は今日からやめます。

Yet they find out how to do stuff just as quick as we do, unless Devs announce details about things they benefit from dat miners.
