FF14 Becoming More "Solo Friendly" is bad, Maybe

FF11 got trusts you can take with you anywhere so you can actually play the game, they are readying xiv to die and forget it like SE forgot ff11.

I hate trusts and how they take away dev time and resources. Just a make a Hall of the Intermediate. Let people call other players noobs and idiots. The game is already easy enough that a mouse on a trackball can figure out proper placement.

And don't give me that bs of "they're future proofing the game". Hroths and vieras still don't have new hairstyles. Yoshida is a hack.

okay

I hate how they waste their time to please egamers and streamers, I hate they waste their time on bullshit like heldi and stupid ass jokes instend of an emotional story.. I hate how they waste their time forcing us to play with others when no other mmo in existance MAKES U PLAY WITH PPL for every little thing.


So i guess pvp should be removed because i hate, I guess jokes completely should be removed since i find stupid...

and I guess forced dungeons for story should be removed since i hate it

basicly what ur saying expect u will dismiss this because its not coming from you


atleast them adding in trust allows us to say THEY HAVE NO EXCUSES TO NOT ADD A OPTION TO UPGREAD HOW HARD ALL CONTENT IS optionally so we can challange ourself on massive scale without worrying about trash and people holding us down and back with human error

Yoshida is aiming at players who don't like MMOs. To be honest, it bothers me way more than trusts being added to ARR+.

You seem pleasant.

I've been playing this game like 9 years now and I'll be honest the only time I talk to anyone is in Duty Finder content and even then it's typically short greetings. Sometimes I'll make attempts at having small talk but 99.9% of the players in the game don't even bother replying back. My typical day in this game is I log on and do all my dailies and level up a Job for a couple of hours and then wander around doing not much else and watch players do weird things in Limsa.

I've just had it with yoshida's bs and doing the bare minimum. I'm angry at myself for not seeing past the charade sooner.

Funny thing is that no interaction is necessary, which makes the forced grouping even dumber, since it doesn't serve any purpose. As always, people who are inclined to interact with others do so regardless of encouragement, and people who aren't, won't, regardless of encouragement.

That "It's an MMO" argument never held any water anyway. You wanna go back to the "good old days" of MMOs where things like the duty finder didn't exist? Where you truly had to interact with others (that hasn't been necessary in FFXIV for all the years I've spent playing it, which make comments about "community" utter BS) to progress? No? Yeah, 'cause that'd freaking dumb.

There are still MMO's coming out that are like this but they always die or have incredibly low populations because it's a niche concept in todays gaming world.

YoshiP is aiming for the people who after nearly 20 years don't count FFXI and FF14 as "real" Final Fantasies. It'll most likely be a wasted effort given how steadfastly dug in that crowd is (I'm not gonna argue the merits or why they're wrong I am simply describing that contingent of FF fans accurately because in a franchise where people ride or die for every installment, its a noticeable constant).

My question is, if they're gonna cater to those FF fans, are they gonna add a toggle to give us the FF spell naming convention that every other XIV client has but not the ENG client? Cuz if that's all I'm gonna get out of this push then by all means, please proceed YoshiP
