Letter from the Producer LXII

Silly players. Everyone knows "we all float down here" in Eorzea...

As a player I understand but as a customer shouldn't we expect SE to help the development of their insanely popular MMO?

Yeah that's not really a legit issue though because it's caused entirely by SE not treating FFXIV like the big boy MMO it is. Hell it's about to pass WoW in popularity, though admittedly this is WoW's fault.

or, maybe the specific things a certain group of players want, is simply not worth the time, money and effort to do. The benefit of these races may simply not be high enough to justify their cost.

ie, its simply a waste. For example, If something costs 100 dollars a month, but it only brings in 30 dollars of profit, there is no reason to do it. If the two races brought enough value to be worth the initial, and maintenance cost, they would probably do it.

Also the team doing cash shop stuff is entirely different and separate from the main team. Perhaps they do not have the same people overlooking their work. ...

Well then look at stuff like the car. This glitches so much through the road. Or the one sub reward, where the hands are not even on the wheel. (And like others said Hiens outfit which was already that bad ingame)

In the end SE will set the "standard" how they will want it to be. Give it as a reason if they dont want to include something and ignore it if they dont care.

yeah, but thats kind of what every single artist has to do in every piece of art created. If you would say the overall quality of ffxiv art direction is lazy and random, i think we would simply have to disagree

Sounds like you understand. I'm not saying their reasons are great. Just they likely have some sort of reason that no amount of pestering is going to change since it hasn't worked in the past.

Oh I know but just because they have their reasonings doesnt mean that I wont stop commenting on them being bad with examples where their reasoning went out of the window. But of course I understand that this also wont mean that they will react. In the end if it turns worse and worse there will be a time where its enough and some decisions already turned me to less subs. And depending on how the next expansion is going to be, it might turn me away completely.

Not trying to be ungrateful but seriously how could they not of modified the Chocobo Racing helmet. As much time and effort it took me to get it. Im talking before the Chocobo Racing Patch... when mating took 18 hours and experience was much less. Its the one and only helmet i want to ever wear but i cant... Even new Helmets that came out in 5.1 arnt able to be show in Hrothgar head YoRHa type-51 cap of casting Floats on my head and Warg pelt of scouting also not shown. I can understand not painstakingly doing every single helmet pre 5.0 but anything thats a reward should of been and everything after the release of the Race should be.
