But surely you know that even if people critique certain aspects of a game, it doesnt mean they hate it as a whole right? My "offended" analogy was moreso of your comment on with how people talk about the game here etc. Comments are going to be more critical on the game here because thats mainly what these forums are for.

I never said you said that. My point is just because someone threatens to cancel there sub over something specific, it doesnt necessarily mean their other interests are secondary, they could be equal for all we know, but im just mainly confused how that has anything to do with this topic. Or this thread in particular although im not directing this at you specifically but just in general. One or two people isnt the best sample size regardless.

Curiously, patch 6.1 did not even have a solo duty for the MSQ. The only solo duty was the Garlemald role quest, but why could both not have been done? Where are all the resources disappearing off to? Surely they cannot all have been poured into Ultimate, as I understand the team behind that is so small that the person who made Chocobo Racing is part of it.

If someone threatens to end their entire sub, giving a specific factor as a reason, then that factor is pretty damn important. Even if we argue that other factors are "equal", those equal factors are apparently not enough for them to continue playing the game. I don't get how this is even a point to argue.

I dunno, but you deemed it important enough to sarcastic cat pic on. So, here we are.

The graphical overhaul is probably taking away a decent amount of resources. I don't necessarily mind, since it's sorely needed in many places, though I do hope the Scions can be put aside more often so that those of us who are invested in other aspects of the setting aren't stuck without much to show for it.

Now I have a big grin on my face and almost spilled my cup of tea... :p

Yeah, I'll admit that I was kind of let down by how they've handled Garlemald. It was unfortunate they they destroyed it off screen, but I was willing to forgive that if they were going to let us restore it (new crafting area anyone?). Instead they were like "Screw it, too hard. Let's go to the moon." Seriously? It seems like their development habits have permeated the storyline now.

Speaking of which, as much as I like the Garleans...surely it, uh, makes sense to maybe think twice about sending them to the moon given what happened the last time Garleans got involved with a moon? ;)

More seriously, I'd love to see the Garleans end up creating some sort of futuristic city along the lines of Esthar from FFVIII...though the lack of an announcement for anything related to reconstruction efforts gives me pause.

It's not impossible for Island Sanctuary to have taken the place of a restoration for the duration of 6.X. I vaguely remember a chain of blue sidequests from Garlemald that might lead into a Crafter/Gatherer tribe for Garlemald, but the details are kind of fuzzy?

As much as I hated how they decoupled Crafters and Gatherers from having the same tribe for their quests back in Shadowbringers it would be great if it could be used to give us a reason to go back to Garlemald, so I can safely ignore whatever is up with that Cafe the Loporrits set up at the edge of the universe.
