It's become a chore to even log on to the game

I wonder the same myself sometimes. Might try checking the next 22 pages of replies. Yours was not the only post.

Then add quotes and don't make blanket statements?

Most of my complaints haven't the slightest thing to do with endgame...

I wonder if anyone ever reads, anything besides the title I mean, then makes assumptions?

Or they read the title and OP, and dismissed you because of your 'worthless' OP. First impressions are lasting impressions. You poo-poo'd this thread from the get go. That's your own fault really. Ultimately, it falls into another I quit thread, and not the first one mind you. Your sign off in the OP doesn't sound like you care anymore, yet here you are are. If you are going to jump, just do it. Casual quitters.... can't even quit without being carried.

This is why I only log on for about 90 minutes on Monday and then don't log on for another week.

Worthless.
Poo poo.
Casual.
Quitter.

Just a sec, writing these down.

That is kind of true however SE advertised the game by saying how the game only really starts when you reach 50 which is Endgame. So not having enough endgame content is one thing, but having really bad endgame content is what I'm talking about here. Login do turn 1-5 and primal ex, cap myths. That's all you do, and looking at 2.2, that's what you'll be doing still. Endgame dungeons in this is pretty lackluster especially CT. CT is like doing FATEs and provides no sense of accomplishment for the loot you get in there. Everyone in this game in any job will look the same in terms of gear/looks without much effort, there is no diversity and customization. Feels like these so called 3 months patches were suppose to be in at launch of the game in the first place.

I'd like to see this game succeed but looking at the direction they are taking it, I doubt that will happen soon.

I remember that, when Yoshi said the real game begins at 50 haha.

Then we got 4 rehashed bosses, 1 new unqiue one, 2 grind happy dungeons (full of reskins) and a raid full of reskins, and then turn 3 which was fun the first few times but poorly implemented.

When you start to think about it, it's sad how much of the game is rehashed, reskinned, and recoloured.

All things considered the development of this game since launch is pretty impressive. Each update adds more and more content and the game is still less than half a year old (1.0 doesn't count as ARR is very much a different game).

Perhaps my understanding of most of 1.0s storyline has given me a better understanding of the storyline within ARR, but I find the story very interesting. There are so many things going on and so many things to look forward to in the future.

I want to know just who these Ascians are, why they want to destroy Hydaelyn and summon their own dark god, and who that dark god is. I look forward to exploring the rest of Coerthas, delving into the troubles with the Holy See of Ishgard further. I can't wait to visit Ala Mhigo and truly free it from the now weakened Imperial's grasp. I want to see what trouble Nero is going to cause us within the Crystal Tower, what his fate will eventually be good or bad. What exactly happened to Louisoix and Bahamut, granted I'm sure some of that is already explained (haven't beaten T5 yet personally), since there are more turns coming obviously it should follow that that particular story is not finished. I want to see what has happened in Sharlayan (obviously it's the Acians, but I still want to see), to visit Sharlayan (there was concept art) and in general learn more about that area.

So.. as far as story goes, there's quite a lot to FFXIV:ARR and potential for more. The game's just began and we haven't even come close to even seeing an expansion (didn't they project it being 1-2 years after launch?) yet already we've seen significant advancement of the main story. I look forward to a level cap increase, that hopefully expands more on our Job's stories as well since they all pretty much wrap up with yet more being possible.

Snip

That's what I'm talking about potential, the story does have potential but it's hindered by fetch quest after fetch quest, bland unispired dialogue and poorly developed characters.


Little to no cutscenes, and if there are, the animations look completely robotic.

Minfillia a poorly developed character already, then 2.1 tries to introduce her long lost step mom (quality stuff right there) through endless fetch quests and an anti-climatic cutscene, what better way to try and develop a poorly devloped character, by adding a new one! Genius!

.

If it doesn't result in gear or tokens to get gear then it isn't content!

I'd save the 90 mins a week if I were u as it doesn't sound like you even enjoy that time in the first place

This games days are numbered anyway..
Look at concurrent logins of characters based on numbers of characters on the servers.
It drops daily.

Your first and only post on these boards is amazingly constructive.

It's also highly aware of the common MMO trends of spike initial subscriptions, decline, and eventual plateaus. As well as the the fact that this game alone pulled SE as a company out of the red, let alone paid for itself.

You're not helping the OP's case or argument.
