Is most of FFXIV's failings due to their choice of engine?

[Allcars]

One can only hope, I really hope they implement dx11 shaders and texture streaming.

Are they really?

Nah they not, they're going to add a camp here n there, which tbh we already have in game, its not new, so its just a little more than what we have. And the dungeons? IDK, I've seen one dungeon, its kind of nice but extremely bland.

It is not a matter of hardware, it is a matter of design.
The design feels a bit restricted, conservative and westernized.
This is not always about the shader and engine features.

Thats kinda Fed up. Just because you feel like shit doesn't mean you have to throw yourself at other people.

We haven't seen any dungeons, if you are referring to the beastman outpost I don't think that was a dungeon.

Those settlements will prob help a little bit, I wonder how many they plan to add in total and hopefully they won't be copy pastes of each other.

Don't listen to Viion. They're adding various camps or "quest hubs" to landscape, but we don't know how many. Also we have the R30 and R50 dungeons coming but we don't know if it's one dungeon for each rank or multiple. I say adding this stuff is a good thing considering must people don't think they're doing ****.

[Kurokikaze]

I fully expect them to take those encampments and copy/paste them in other locations without even editing them in the slightest way.

No im not talking about that, we've not seen anything official, but you can get to places. Weather they are what will be dungeons, who knows.

Anywho Even if they did add like 30 in 1 zone, they will no doubt be all copy/paste identical XD just like the current ones are!

Such enthusiasm! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You'd think that if that were the case, they'd just have copy/pasted the current Camp setups and called them Quest Hubs. Because thats what I would do if I were rushed to release a game that was nowhere near finished, just to give players something to do for the time being!

[Sonic_the_Hedgehog]

Copy/paste or not, it's better than having nothing there right?
