It still does.

The size of the enmeies, over world and in dungeons, are scaled to rediculous size to keep it inline with the size of the world. Do you remember Vishap from The Steps of Faith? It was the largest enemy (discounting Bahamut) we encountered but if we go back there now it would feels like he's just a little bigger than your normal everyday mobs on the world map and regular dungeons.

There is nothing ridiculous about the size of enemies considering the precedents. And Vishap is still a lot (not just a little) bigger than many enemies.

Being an MMO I can see why the devs have a great challenge ahead of them to keep all jobs ballance, this however come at the price of the jobs identity.

Job identity is still there, but role identity is more important.

Ultimately I don't think it will happen though, from business point of view, this game still stand to make a lot more money for years to come yet. What will likely happen is player like me will get tired of it eventually and leave but there's not enough of us to make any impact that would persuade them to make another MMO under the Final Fantasy banner.

Ok.

You seem to misunderstand me. I’m not saying it’ll be replaced right away, I’m saying it will be at some point in the future. It’s not optimal to stay on a single console forever.

You said console limitation excuse will not hold up in 2020, whereas all we know for now about 2020 is that Windows 7 support will end in January.

You said it would probably happen by 6.0 that’s about a year three quarters away.

To me, that’s not “right away” though.

PS5 is launching Holiday 2020, that’s half a year away from 6.0. They aren’t cutting PS4 support 6 months after PS5’s release...

Uh what? Very few things in this game come close to Vishap's size several expansions later, he's outright GIANT. Only very specific raid bosses and 24 man bosses can even come close to his size, I haven't encountered a single mob on the overworld, even among the S/SS ranks that even comes close to Vishap's size. So unless you want to cite examples, I think you're severely overestimating the size of the average overworld mob. Like, to put size into comparison, most character models are barely taller (at highest height races) than Vishap's TOES.
