Zepla about FFXIV Relic and Square Enix not taking any Risks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gocvyuEUtK0

Love it when people are finally waking up to Endwalker being a terrible expansion, and not just a terrible expansion but the continuation of a terrible design ethos in this game starting from Stormblood.

Also, Bozja had a far better story than EW Relic lol, so it's not even decent as a "story-based" relic.

He goes to explain tomes aren't inherently bad... as an option but the only option.

MrHappy: "EXPANSION OF DISASTERS"

Every day I find it harder and harder to want to log in and if this is the best the FF14 team has to offer....I'm not so certain I'm going to buy 7.0

I like Zepla but I don't know why people keep posting this link like it's some gospel. I have my own relationship to FFXIV and gaming in general, and Zepla's personal opinion for herself has no bearing on that.

It's funny how when an influencer is mindlessly praising the game they're wielded as a bludgeon to dismiss critical feedback and yet when an influencer is expressing concern regarding the state of the game as an actual game suddenly their opinion is treated as irrelevant.

I can't stand streamers. I think they're one of the worst things to happen to gaming - but that aside, her concerns are very valid and shared by many here.

I'm sorry I don't need an "influencer" to support or form my own opinions.

Um, I don't? It's almost as though I'm not one of those people who do this. Again, I make my own opinions and while influencers are entertaining to listen to, I never make decisions based on their opinions. They are just game players with an audience. The only expert on what I enjoy or not, is me.

This. Like I might agree with some of what she's saying, but she's still a well known streamer that doesn't actually speak for the entire playerbase.

No, Zepla quotes Reddit/Twitter and frames it as her own opinion. If there was a overwhelming positive feedback for the relic on Reddit/Twitter she would praise it.
