Instead of cutting Ultimate from 5.5 why not cut bozja?

It's almost like most people, at least in NA/EU, play for reasons other than crafting.

I refuse to give someone else my plot, it's mine and it should be mine simple as that. I shouldn't have to dish out 13 Euro just to keep my house.

The house doesn't actually belong to you. Your character may be listed as the owner for game purposes but you don't truly own it. It is owned by Square Enix. along with everything else in the game. You're allowed continued use of it at their discretion and contingent on your compliance with their terms and conditions. Part of those terms and conditions include maintaining an active subscription so you can enter the house at least once every 45 days.

If it's not worth that 13 Euros a month to you, why do you want to keep it so badly? You would be smarter to give it up so you're not burdened with the recurring expense.

Way more people do Bozja than Ultimate. We already get dictated by raiders who every job is balanced even though it only matters in a fraction of the content.

Like raiders respected AST and their old cards? lol No.

Raiders make the game more boring for all, one meta at a time. And the majority is not allowed to have anything interesting 'cause meta and parsing.

Except you do care or you wouldn't say

Most raiders I know actually misses the utility of the old cards. It's usually the casual/midtier that complained about "only aoe balance matters" and "it's too complex"

You're throwing a lot of accusations around without a lot of history to back up. Especially since the history of job changes has been to make jobs more accessible to casual players. (Not a bad thing, imho. I just have a lot of issue with how they go about it.)

I'll say:

Absolutely sucks for the raiding population that were looking forward to it, I get that they'd be pissed off over a piece of content they've been looking forward to since pre-5.3 being pushed back to the first major update of a new expansion.

But if it genuinely came down to "DR or Ultimate" I'm sort of on the side of "DR". More people'll see it, more people'll do it in game and it provides heavy holdover content for more people who have interest in doing it.

I'm biased in that I have more interest in DR currently, and haven't tried to tryout and find time to do the Ultimate fights in the game. But I do feel DR has more reach in the playerbase, and at least, requires much less to get into by comparison.

Not going to pretend like I understand the behind the scenes discussions/resources/time frames the XIV team has. But if the devs are saying they lack the time to finish it in the expected timeframe, in part due to the pandemic going on (even if the decision to push it to 5.5 was a pre-pandemic decision -- life comes at you fast) then so be it.

If SE could've provided more resources to smooth this over better, then they should have. But if they did and this was the best case scenario with what's going on, it is what it is.

Most of the homogenization and otherwise dumbing down of jobs has actually been in an effort to make the game more accessible and require less effort from casual players.

See the remove of tank stance, removal of cleric stance, simplification of healer dps kits, dumbing down of most jobs rotations etc.

The "ooga booga raider bad" mentality gets really old.

To be honest, I'm glad they didn't wasted much resources on Ultimate which most of the players never will experience anyway. Boss fights in this game are simply boring (no matter which difficulty) and take way to long for the little rewards they give. How long usually a Savage Boss takes? 15min? 20min? Sounds like fun lets do Ultimate and beat the same Boss in 30min. for shity loot.

Seriously if i want fun and challenging long Boss fights i play something like Monster Hunter or another MMO.
