Dev Team Appreciation Post

Been playing for like a year straight now.

I'm small and have a dancing moogle on a stick. 10/10 100/100 GOTYAY

Sorry to dampen the positivity romance, but after playing this game for over 2 years now, I gotta say that the dev team needs to be either replaced or Yoshi-P needs to be replaced. I love the game and all, but the content is a rehash every expansion and every patch is predictable. The current formula is stagnant. Something needs to be done about this.

Some good content like POTD was a good start. Eureka was just bad imo. It didn't even capture anything I loved about FFXI. It felt like Abyssea 2.0, only with more leechers, afkers and fps hell.

The game is 5 years old now. This isn't 2.0 anymore. It's time to change up the formula, think out the safety box, and add more new, original and exciting content. FFXI could do this with each expansion and the game is 15 or so YEARS OLD. This game with it's enhanced graphics and style should become even better than it's predecessor, but atm it's still far behind FFXI, not in graphics, but in original and creative content.

There is still room for growth for this game, but if Yoshi and his team keep the current formula going, this game isn't gonna have the best longevity it's older brother (FFXI) has.

What you people seem to want, is the combat system from XI, more than anything else. Obviously that will never happen. Beyond that you say "original stuff" but people never seem to explain what that stuff should be.

Let's stay positive guys. :). No need to go at one another. Let's keep the thread positive.

I for one cannot wait for FF14GO.
But seriously keep up the good work devs.

Either that or they just hate every new thing the devs try so yes of course they might rehash because this player base is just impossible to please lol

Yes some things really need to be addressed but overall great job becuase I have tried other games and end up back here re-subbed

It's clear that the love you have for the game shows in the work you put into it. I especially love the culture and pop references throughout the quests. And I like how the developers try to actively listen to the community as a whole. I wish they would speak up more though, and tell us the reasoning because some changes!

You do know that FF14 has one of the largest dev teams in the industry right?

It's not some small team, at all lol.

To the developers of this game: Thank you! It's not only a great MMO but a great Final Fantasy. I am a big fan of the series and appreciate the nods to other titles.
I hadn't been able to play any MMOs and stick to them, but FFXIV made that possible.

I think it's the community that makes this game shine, just like FFXI, people would just step in battle, help you out and then go about their way. I love the animations too, nothing better than a lala dancing to brighten up your day.

Please keep making great content ^^

The battle content team is still very low though
