On a scale of 1 - 10, how disappointed are you so far with Stormblood news?

[Automedius]

For me, I would say 8. There's honestly not much to say.

[XSamsaraLotusX]

For me its a 6 .
Some good things but more things i see as bad in the long run.
2 new areas is nice but how the msq will use it.siming is nice for the first time then what.
Lots of development in the wrong places.

Your topic earned an eleven from me.

Mind being more specific?

A whole lot of the same. Two new classes to do all the same content we've been doing with the same weekly caps and the same dailies and the same... everything.

9.

SB is the same as ARR and HW which is what i want, the same game with new stuff added.

job wise there is no one specific job i want so any job added is a plus to me.
content wise i love what we are getting now its always nice to see some story reason to go back and explore a old area and see new parts of it even if its only alittle.
new primals...i mean who doesn't love summons and at this point we have done all major summons people have cared about and only have the less known/seen ones. (the more we do the more likely the one you really want will show up)
new continent i mean come on look at that map! they got a goron mountain feel going with the garlean place and a whole big area hidden under clouds and the new area shown!
actual maps seems like we are getting plenty to roam sure we will explore it all but that is all games too much to bleh and too little is bleh too so with them being like HW i think it will be pretty good

also i forgot to mention swimming/diving seems pretty fun.

Talk about glass half empty. Most people would probably ask "how excited are you?", but okay.

I'm really hyped about Stormblood in general, and the fact that we're getting a whole new continent to explore is great. I can see where they're going with this - we get to take back the rest of Eorzea and Othard now in 4.0, and in 5.0 we'll advance on Ilsabard in a pincer movement.

The footage from the new areas, particularly Kugane, looks great. I can't put my finger on it, but it looks cleaner and these "lighting engine enhancements" that were mentioned in Vegas do seem noticeable, but it's hard to tell on a 720p stream. Overall, it looks like we'll get larger areas now that the PS3 is dropped and the minimum requirements are raised a bit. Raised furniture limits is obviously great, and I think they're doing the right thing in pushing people to 64-bit (which honestly should've been a thing years ago).

Only thing I would've wanted a little more insight on would be the battle system revamp, really.

So to answer your question, it's a 1. I'm not disappointed at all.

@Karis

You need to understand both sides of the spectrum. In your case, you like battle content, which you will always get. For people like me, the minority that only focuses on crafting content, playing the market board, glamour/character content, this doesn't exactly make a huge appeal, ya know? As you know, the expansion falls short in that, which is why I give it an 8.

[Aquaslash]

Imma say a -8. Which is to say I'm not disappointed at all and am in fact quite stoked! As much as I have grown to love Dragoon, I'm getting the job I wanted from the very beginning, all the way back in 2.X. It's time to hang up my spear, take up the Katana, and be the gloriously obnoxious Power Ranger meme machine I was always meant to be! Plus if I want to tank, I can get back to WAR and hop on the Fell Cleave brigade and STILL out dps bad players.

You keep being salty though. Your butthurt sustains me.

"They're disappointed in a stagnant design philosophy and a complete lack at any attempt at innovation. lolzz they're just salty hehe xd"
