And what's even more funny is that there are quite the easy fixes for all of this. For example, loot should be scaled every patch so that old gear isn't totally wasted (think of Legion's dungeons) and in general the rewards should be scaled to high level so that even at 60-70 doing old quests is beneficial (SWTOR does this greatly as you can go to your old planets and do heroic quests, and get rewards scaled to your level). Also loot should have some sort of tier sets which makes them better regardless if BiS or not (and the saddest part is, we had that on levelling gear from the GC). There should be special effects, there should be timed runs (Again look at Legion and mythic+), there should be so much more and yet we get nothing.

And on top of that, for the sake of accessibility, they really should start thinking of making the story optional or else, as I said, only the hardcore fans will try it. YES, this is a Final Fantasy game, I know story is important (PFFF...sorry I almost had a burst of laugh there), however there will be one point where new players will be completely discouraged to even play the game, as they will have to suffer through the story for even unlocking the basic endgame (because enjoying the GAME is such a shameful thing!). I always make the reference to SWTOR here because it makes story optional (for the most part) and it's a story-heavy game (and IMHO, a much better story in general).

But if people prefer to have a game "bonafide Final Fantasy" rather than having more subscribers, then I guess I have nothing more to say.

Except "I hope it doesn't backfire"
