What can I say. Learn to read. It was announced in red that it will be Japanese only.

Hey! Someone who thinks the same as me. Nice to see people speak the truth and not shy away from it. Crafting is for us and us alone. They can not be trusted to inherit our macros...
:D

I guess the thing that irks me the most is they brought up the next trial and the next Ultimate, had entire slides dedicated to them... just to say they're secret. It's coy stuff like this that makes me, at the end of the day, okay with data mining. Ok, the trial I can understand, it can lead to spoilers, but the Ultimate? Why? The Ultimate is strictly old content, so...why so secretive about it?

Why even bring either up then? Why have not one, but two whole slides that say "secret" on them?

I’m happy they are doing Shadowbringers MSQ at start of New Game+ for some reason I thought that would come later, regardless I am happy with that.

On the lvl sync I’m confused, I thought they said before the solo duties would be unsync in new game+ but now it looks like they are synced?

I was thinking it was the solo battles not the dungeons. Though it makes kinda sense since they're synced to a certain level to begin with.

You seem to not understand that there are players out there that actually enjoyed how crafting used to be back in 2.x - 3.x. Now, my 12 year old niece can HQ something. I’m glad players like you are enjoying the “QoL” and the easier changes, but at least respect the opinions of crafters that actually enjoyed working hard for what they have back then.

Personally crafting has officially become a children’s mini-game, and that’s fine, if that’s what direction square Enix wants to go, I respect their decision. However, I will not continue to keep paying a subscription for a game that does not seem to care much for me, like I have been. I’ll likely only play when the yorha raid comes, occasional patches, and that’s about it.

There was definitely some previous information (though I only heard it second-hand without a source) that NG+ would let you wind back to earlier expansions but not Shadowbringers.

I assume we'll be level-unsynched during normal gameplay, but we really need to be synched for solo duties. They're generally meant to have an epic "story event" feel to them, and that would be lost if you had to play them at your current level and everything dies in one hit - whether you want it to or not.
