A friendly warning to SE: Do NOT turn FFXIV into an Asia Grinder!

Newsflash: SE is an "Asian" Company.

Also, FFXIV were in need of Grind-Content and as it stands now, the grindcontent is straight optional. IF people feel like they were forced to do it, that is up to them. But yeah, there were a good amount of Threads, which were asking for grinds. Now we have them and a certain group of people is pleased.

It always goes both ways, without grinds that certain group would quit as well.

I do not mind grinding per se. But I do mind it if it is used as an excuse for poor production values.

Oh right, that makes turning the game into an utter grindfest okay. Let's give them a free pass because making an Asian Grinder is normal for an Asian company.

I fully agree, TC. And before the haters start hating: Nobody is asking for instant Novus, but getting it shouldn't be mindless grindfest without any challenge at all.

"Grinds" are essential for a MMO and even more for a JRPG. How Dare a Japanese Company is finally getting back to their roots. They DO NOT have to meet western standards, where time-consuming content is a "no go". Grinds are what they are; Do x amount of this > next stage; Do x amount of this > to get this. That is all there is not it. That is what grinds are; GRINDS. You can call them mindless and without challenge, that does not change anything. Btw.. did you do Novus Maps yet? They are more challenging then doing a Peistemap Solo. ( Yes you can solo a good amount of them, like Hapalit, Peiste, Mandies, Jellies, Cactuars, but also some are not doable due the Time-Limit like Turtle, Chim etc )

So like i did mention a couple month ago allready; As the Questline does progress further, SE is going to implement more "Challenging" Content. I would consider those Maps a "small" Part of what there awaits us next, but correct step in the right direction. And yes.. it is still a grind and not for everyone, like Coil, Soldiery or Primals are also not for everyone.
