I hope SE will change the direction of the game

If Yoshida wants to prevent a large portion of the playerbase from quitting then the Crystal Tower is definitely going to have to become an actual endgame raid that is desighned to be much more difficult than the Binding coil of Bahamut. It would also be nice if the Binding coil was bumped up to 16+ player groups to strengthen the endgame community.

Since this game is already following the WoW model, it would be very easy to create an extreme mode and an easy mode duty finder version for both the Binding Coil and the Crystal Tower. Endgame players get their much desired challenging content every 3 months and casual players also get their desired content every 3 months. Epic win for everyone!

This isn't going to happen though because Naoki Yoshida will never allow it. His failed vision is the only thing that matters, the playerbase has zero say in the matter.

Will take alot more to prevent people from leaving. Every patch seems to make the game worse in the long term to keep people playing. I really hope this game loses alot of its subs. Yoshi is trying to cater to 2 groups of people when he cant really. Either casual or hardcore will have to leave this game for yoshi p to choose which direction he wants to contune with. Think whats gonna happen is hes gonna contune what hes doing and both groups will just leave over period of time. Mainly cus theres better games out there that will cater to what they like in their MMOs and FFXIV is just in the middle and doesn't know what it wants to be.

I just want to quote this sentence by itself and let it stew in the minds of anyone reading. When Yoshida talked about negativity on the forums there is no more clear example than this, it's borderline vindictive.

Not to be negatiive but SE only in mind set of picking up the pieces if there in a crisis. FF1, FF7, FF14 ARR and probably few others. Sure the game will cater to either side better where its more suited for. 1.0 is a good example of this. Alot of people left and only around 50k~ were playing 1.0~1.23 mainly only hardcore people cus no casual could handle it. If ARR starts releasing more and more unicorns and mounts and tons of vanity for people that want to play dress up thats fine if but your gonna end up losing hardcore players aswell. I just want this game to take a direction of what it wants to be then I can either deside to contune playing or go to another game.

Who says this kind of thing to a game they play? Also, it's not very productive at all to make this game a better game to play in.
