Some of them look like if you tried to draw the old sets from memory and got a few details wrong. But I like the new dragon design for monk.

I just got back here from playing Rebirth so I'm gonna tack on my general complaints to this thread. That game is the highest-rated FF since XII, and second only to IX on the all-time list...

The format is good. They finally added a better way to be directed into old content and including non-battle content too. It was a good surprise.

Obviously the rewards are still bafflingly bad....

IKR you're just getting them incidentally. There's no deliberate design to even rate here, it's a bonus they tacked-on somewhere rather than content in its own right. I can understand people being...

His design philosophy won't allow them to freshen up the game. Dawntrail isn't out yet but I know one of the two towns will have a vendor row with a tomestone girl who sells me a body piece for 825...

I haven't even got 1 win, it's hard as hell to beat everyone. I've played the real Fall Guys game and won on that with more than 24 people but it's a lot more random than this, has more variables to...

While I'm not a fan of any Blizzard games creatively, I respect that they actually put significant resources into fighting against cheating. They even sued some of the biggest cheat makers to stop...

I started expressing concern with the formula years ago. These expansions are just story packs with no gameplay evolution to speak of.

The whole genre is looking stale. I've been checking out...

Yep everything you said there is my expectation. In terms of what they bring to the game other than aesthetic differences, probably nothing. The only thing to escape homogenisation will be the next...

The trajectory is completely flat. Fates, dungeons, boss rooms, etc are going to be exactly the same until the end of time. There's going to be another story about the Scion friend group doing their...

If XIV is one big fan service nostalgia game, I hope they move on from I-VI. The most we got from VII is the Weapon series albeit redesigned a lot compared to the source material. Meanwhile IV...

In a way, FF XIV is the Final Fantasy series now. The time gaps between the new numbered single player games has become very large (XIII to XV to XVI) but we have a new XIV expansion story every 2-3...

A sigh when jumping down into the dwelling of the 6.5 trial boss and we see it waiting for us at a square platform with line markings to help determine AOE boundaries. The fate of worlds must be...

Was talking on Discord today with people who live by the "illusion of choice" argument. We shouldn't have any options, they say, because everyone will just look up guides and copy the meta. Even when...

People are just now discovering that this forum was built over an Indian burial ground and it's literally cursed. Sometimes vengeful spirits inhabit the accounts of frequent forum posters like how an...

Sad state of things. Around the time FF XIV released we were getting news on "the largest sandbox style MMO ever designed" which was set to leapfrog everyone else - Everquest Next. It was going to...

If it was simplified down to "press X for relic" they would have even higher completion numbers but it shouldn't be seen as a success. People will always collect a reward that is quick and easy.
...

That's not quite the same as the stuff I said. This game has never had dynamically changing dungeons that can't be fully pre-planned. I meant stuff you need to react to on the fly.

Deep dungeon...

What if it wasn't a choice of shortest linear path or longer linear path.

It could be a wider area that doesn't have an always optimal route, due to dynamically changing things like the movement...

Dungeons encapsulate everything wrong with FF XIV. They are cookie-cutter mindless instanced hallways designed to be completed by all players with little friction. They are mandatory time-fillers in...

They need to rethink the purpose of 'relic' weapons. It shouldn't be something that just falls on you incidentally while you are working on unrelated tasks. I also think by this point we should...

It was probably expected numbers for an unprecedented content lull. The core formula has remained the same while the patches have pushed further apart.

Consider that Comedy tomes and current raid...

I was just watching a private server video tour of the old game. People were freaking out in the comments about how you could just walk from The Black Shroud into a dungeon like Tam-Tara Deepcroft...

Valisthea is just dirt. There's no entertainment capital, no luscious fantasy environments. There's dirt and there's some palace interiors seen only in cutscenes. They tried really hard to make a...

Yeah FF XIV is 13 years old, but the original game is inaccessible and all of its content was replaced by the 2.0 ARR reboot 10 years ago. Well that's why it was called A Realm Reborn.

A lot of...
