Dunno why someone would use Haley Joel Osment

Sure, I'm 100% for keeping it all contained here to keep it in one place. 13 different threads for what essentially boils down to the same core problems with Endwalker's patches is a bit obnoxious.

I think it would be helpful to present the links of the videos to the relevant topics in the OP, I'll provide them here so you don't need to dig.

(Zepla) "Endwalker is the Worst FFXIV Expansion I've played: https://youtu.be/p3fwXgcZvjQ?si=4mbCDjRYLEHf13uF

Zepla expanding on her critiques from the initial video: https://youtu.be/inp7MTOAwro?si=3fel_bTGJDUluXHg

(Zepla) "The Players Endwalker Left Behind": https://youtu.be/j2-CV9cKC1s?si=0LqaXHuDcnTQhtTG

MrHappy, Sly, and Zepla on State of the Realm: https://youtu.be/gMZzCJiDOP0?si=2QwsqeDsW3xIeYsO

MrHappy's thoughts on the relic stages: https://youtu.be/u-8uIqFsh1I?si=gTJToT803-qDOo1T (I personally digged for this one despite it not being in it's own thread because it's directly relevant to why Endwalker is lacking)

(Arthars) "FFXIV should take a few hints from WoW's Dragonflight": https://youtu.be/wOK46OR9FQ0?si=QFe84XY2iPGM5VGX

(Xeno) "Ranting about patch 6.5 and how to save the game": https://youtu.be/3kL2MkiaRJY?si=bPwJqBtFwCS25xSo

Jesus...in hindsight that's quite..the list.

Anyway. I agree with most of what Zepla has to say, watching them discuss and talk about it with MrHappy and Sly in State of the Realm was great, Zepla was able to be informed on why Heavensward was the worst in terms of overall player satisfaction since she joined during it.

I'm still trying to refine my opinion with Xeno's yet. I don't agree with him completely but I can kinda see the point he's trying to make. There needs to be more challenging content for sure, but I don't think more high-end raids is the answer, but I'm also not entirely sure that's what he meant. There needs to be more challenging content than braindead easy MSQ content, but it should be a reasonable challenge that people can overcome. They should have to at least be competent in order to actually clear said content. For the sake of clarification before people inevitably get down my throat about it, no I don't mean they have to play at a high level, just that a certain degree of performance should actually matter. Like not being able to be lazy and just soak damage from ground aoe's and mechanics.

All in all, make the tanks (and healers) actually interesting to play again in all forms of content, not just high-end raiding, give the content releasing some actual longevity, and obligatory field zone that improves or expands upon prior installment's systems, that's essentially what I want. I'm here to play an MMO, not a single-player RPG, I would just play a single-player RPG if that's what I wanted to do at that given time. I want reasons to log in and run current content as a veteran player.

Some months ago i wrote a immense review on each content creator
i would kill to have the spent time back

Even as someone who does watch a few of them, that a pretty big question mark. I don't have the energy or the desire to get that deep in

The person would use AI generated voices for comedy videos of characters when they couldn't pay for their services and said they would continue to do so regardless of any pushback. Or something like that. Kougaon did a video about it.

This just in, Zepla has done another Zepla. This time she has more positive things to say, regarding Dawntrail and the future of the game.

Is Dawntrail a New Day for FFXIV?

https://youtu.be/C4c4ZssXrxA?si=gcSef-p3Gy7pobBt This guy is Kougaon and this is the video. It all was a thing when a few VAs including Alisaie's english VA made comments to please not use AI to have characters they've voiced say things they haven't said. Which I understand. People are ok with making comedy videos if you get their permission or use those sites where you can commission them.
