Suggestion for 5.0 launch

[Iromi]

That's one timeline.... I've had plenty to do, I haven't even finished the story and I've been playing for months. Stop rushing through the game maybe? Go out and play other games? Or do everything this game has to offer?

If you want to be able to play the game 24/7 you can't expect to be doing endgame things the whole time. The content is there, go level all the jobs. Collect all the cards, minions, mounts. Become a master crafter, go get every achievement in the game. There is lots to do. Just because the content that you want to do is not released yet does not mean there is nothing in game to do.

Wait, then what are you doing when you log in? My boyfriend has full time university and part time jobs and still managed to finish all of SB in a week or so. He has full raid gear and leveled everything to 70. Is he just way good at time management or what? I am seriously asking btw, not trying to be sarcastic..I am legitimately curious what people are doing when he has so little time yet finished everything so quickly. o.O He also read every single quest and does not skip anything either.

In no way, shape or form did he rush ANYTHING. He took his time, reading everything, paying attention to detail and played through stormblood with me, it was a blast. We also play other games, travel and do tons of stuff IRL so..I don't think its very good for an MMO to follow the same formula and run out of things to do so quickly, delay the relic quests and they need to produce content with longevity.

I agree with OP, there needs to be more to do then the SAME old formula for YEARS now.

I only do story content one day a week, I'm to tired after work to enjoy the story if I log in at all. I do roulettes to level up other classes, I will have 5 or 6 jobs at 70 when I finish the story.

If you think I'm weird for that, go ahead, I'm sure everyone else does as well. Back in ARR I leveled every class to lvl 30 before I continued the story. I had completely stopped playing for 6 months before storm blood launched as well, because Final Fantasy 15, World of Final Fantasy, and Zelds Breath of the Wild needed to be played. And because of the cluster F that was the stormblood launch I didn't even start playing story for a while and finished those games.

I've no idea how anyone can get through the story in a few days or even a week, unless all they do is play 14 non stop every single day. I should be caught up with everything by the time 4.1 is out, I will do all the fancy new stuff along with everyone else... But I won't feel like I've run out of things to do.

If all I wanted to do was play this game everyday I will max out every class, get every single relic, minion, mount, card, housing item, achievement that can be had. If this game is my life there is plenty to do. it's not tho, I have other interests, I'm glad I don't have to sacrifice my soul to play this game. If all you want to play is the endgame, play what's available, then go live your life... What did you do before his game existed? Go do that!

I don't think the game needs more mindlessly grindy content either. You want relic in the game, but unless it's created differently, all it will be is go replay the same content until your sick of it. I wish it could have more unique and original content, but I know game development takes time. So I can wait and do other things or play what is here now and be thankful I have that.
