Current State of End-Game Contents - A Blog Post from A Japanese Player

Even if most people did agree with this, would people be okay with Yoshi-P stop content production to change the building blocks of FFXIV ARR (Again)? That's something always to consider too.

He doesn't need to stop the current production.

Only thing that needs to change is making the casual aspect equally rewarding and not in terms of "gear" but whatever will please casuals such as vanity, hairstyles, mounts, and so on.

I'm letting it all slide because of the development time PS4, frontlines, and Golden Saucer are using up. Yet what transpired at E3 isn't leaving much for optimism and TGS isn't around the corner to rectify what transpired at E3.

that the most important part of the trouble. all we can do it's point it and hope that for the 3.0 (the expansion) they will change the way they see content. they can already begin by take out most of the one shoot technique and add more deepth in the futur combat.
they can too stop to only see raid as the main activity of the mmorpg and see it like ONE of the most important and add different type of content.

the video game in general had a lot of stuff that was create in the last 20 years... and it's fairly possible to add it to the mmorpg. the question is: will they take the risk to add content that are not "actually" mainstream? i think mostly at raid, pvp arena... they are what every mmorpg give us now as base. and i think it's maybe time to go take idea from different game and add it to the genre.

that the main strenght of the mmorpg, you can add anything! it's not a classical rpg it's more vast and more deep than this! you can add time attack with challenge a la beat'm all. or add place that open gradually like metroid-like game. you can even use the coop game like payday 2, left 4 dead as base for look at idea to add some random in content. all this game have something that can be added into the genre... like many i'm amazed by the work of Yoshida team for save FF14: ARR, but now, i wonder if they are not a bit lost... because they have save the game... and i have the feeling that they don't know how to go over and make the game more grand that we have now.

they had a soo big pressure because of the expectation of all... that now they scared to try... they are human, if they try and mess around, they are scared that the game will fail like the V1. but it's not anymore the V1, they have save the game, now it's time to make it evolve! because it's what the mmorpg means to be... a game that continue to evolve!

ps: i hope to that Yoshida or some Dev, will come and ask us what we think about the game... survey can be a good way to see what work or not!
