Zepla: Endwalker is the Worst FFXIV Expansion I have played

Meh, I think posting XIV-based videos on the official XIV forums is fine. (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ))

This applies to any content creator being invited to the Media Tour that has made videos about issues with the game. They have the very unique opportunity to bring all of these concerns directly to the director and producer of the game. if they don't, then they're nothing more than another random voice lost within an ocean of comments that could go either way and it doesn't matter.

Yes because this company is known for listening to its players and its streamers lmao, nah.

I think whether she does or doesn't is largely irrelevant. There's individuals hired with the specific purpose of paying attention to what regular players and content creators alike are providing in terms of feedback. Just the other day we had a community representative post to introduce themselves in a thread, found here:

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...ittle-spark%21

So far they only have one post, though hopefully that changes soon! After all, many posters - myself included - have requested that this place is patrolled with greater frequency and visibility so that feedback doesn't feel like it's falling into the void. I made this thread a few years back on the subject:

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...epresentatives

Why are we talking about Zepla? Is she begging for money again?

I can't say that I'm even a Final Fantasy fan any more. XVI nailed the coffin shut and I deleted the game. XIV is hard to quit mostly due to sunken cost; I'm not at the point of wanting to skip whole seasons and miss the FOMO items after 10 years of diligently collecting stuff on this character. It's a good trap. I've got OCD or some compulsion to finish what I started, in a game that never finishes.

Some of the stuff they make isn't bad, it's not a total waste of money, but it's too often disappointing. They aren't concerned with gameplay innovation. The community these days are worse than the games; I just had to mute all the FF-related subs on my Reddit feed because the sarcastic fanboys are making me want to find them IRL and choke them.

As for the rest of the series... Pixel Remaster is quite good, not sure why the Steam version doesn't have the updates that consoles got. Most games after that haven't been maintained well. VII, VIII and IX don't have AI-upscaled backgrounds unless you mod the PC version. XI and its supporting websites are horribly outdated, bad user experience. XIII hasn't been ported or remastered to PS4/5/Switch. That's my summary of the uneven state of the series.

Say you're mad she's bringing real and genuine complaints about the game without saying you're mad

Because when a youtuber says something bad about FFXIV, certain Posters immediately piggyback off of it and post it on the Forums for attention and Upvotes.
Not to say that many points against FFXIV aren't valid and need to be addressed, but it is funny that people are desperate for validation and act like it will change anything. Especially when some of these same people love to say feedback gets ignored.

And then you get weird nonsense like this from people who need to go at people for no reason.
The Anti-FFXIV Defense Force I guess. lol

I think thats fine too, although I am pretty sure the OP did so only to cause arguments and discourse, as is their usual MO (Or the one they have decided to adopt from the troll book).

As much nonsense as "haha she made a 30 mins video, talking about her personal complaints about the game, but haha ! she needs money again, who cares about her complaints !"

stop shilling you aint getting anything in return I promise

when it comes down to it most players aren't going to have any real constructive criticism and honestly it can come down to multiple reasons a big one normally is the developers misunderstanding of complaints or straight blatant not caring when someone says hey this one thing is a big issue and the devs go we know just the thing and either doubles down on it or just adds more to the part players particularly dont like it makes them not care about being specific or giving real feedback when all it does it get you nowhere.

with that being said the game is heading in the same direction it always has it hasnt changed since ARR and its not changing anytime soon. the game is nowhere close to dying, and will have many many more years to come without problems. players who have been sitting on the fence hoping SE will change their game to be different than it is, will slowly over the years finally accept it wont happen and either decide to play less or not at all.

this doesnt mean the game is dying or in bad shape it just means the players who always wanted something else has finally given up. everyone in that boat has a limit and it will be reached eventually.
