No changes to ATMA?

So it pains me to say this, but I can see where this game is going.

XI

I played it from launch and eventually stopped, just got too old in 2013. But I can tell you with having watched hundreds if not thousands of people that I played with come, try the game until like level 30 and just leave with this face o_____________o SE failed that game.

Mindless Grinding
RNG

These things are draconian, I see people defending them as classic MMO things. But sorry, the majority of the gaming community doesn't want that. We now live in hard times, no matter where you live. I am a developer who works very hard, this leaves me with a grand total of 20 Hours max gaming time.

Spending those 20 hours on total RNG in a mindless grind does not make me happy, as I just did that same very thing writing new scripts for software.

My point is: We don't want to work we want to play and while I am a die hard FF fan, I promise you, XIV in this current frame of mind is absolutely doomed.

You have a small amount of the gaming community trolling the larger amount, this small amount has something akin to 40 - 60 hrs to spend on gaming time so they make silly comments and snide remarks talking about how good people are etc. This is what was left in XI and actually made playing XI that much more painful.

Ask SE's financial department, they cannot afford another XI, especially when everyone's eyes are on SE right now in the wake of some of their promises to return to Japanese RPG content. Yoshi would do well to remember who his majority subscribers are, just like any developer knows to cater to the masses and include quality of life.

PS.

I don't want a Leviathan Weapon. I want to be an FF hero and have my Job Class' weapon. I have said and will maintain the EX and Coil weapons should be SE's concession to the Hard Core people who want RNG/Grinds, and should be considerably more powerful than any incarnation of a Relic that does not evolve off the aforementioned content.
