What's your first impression of Eureka?

[Jijifli]

You are right, I don't know these either. Which is exactly why I didn't make any argument using based on that. And that was my main point: I don't make baseless assumption to criticize something. I do with the information I know I have, and I don't extrapolate simply because hating every aspect of Eureka is the new trend.

Would you rather a world where we can't say anything negative about it if a company doesn't explain why content gets constantly delayed and then comes out poorly?

Part of the reason players are upset is because we had content cut from other sections over this. We're upset because not only did this get mentioned almost a year and a half ago, but it was meant to be in 4.15, then pushed to 4.2, then pushed to 4.25. We're upset because FFXIV's combat system is not a system for mindless grinding. Games that have you grind for levels are usually interesting in their combat system. Black Desert can make you feel like a massive powerhouse. Blade & Soul has a wonderful combat system that, when mastered, makes you feel like you can outsmart and outpower even the greatest of foes with your agility, combo's, etc. FFXIV can ride off of its enemy mechanics to make fights interesting.

If I honestly wanted to grind enemies, I already had the option. And if I wanted to follow a fate train, I could have done that with the fates in the game already. If I wanted to get gear that didn't matter, I'd do Alex, or Delta, or literally anything that's older content.

I challenge Square to come out and say why it's like this, why it took so long, and why their only given out fix is reducing sparkler drop rate at the end of the month. Then again they apparently didn't hear about Ungarmax for 5 months so to all I know they think we're complaining about how sparklers ruin immersion.

I wonder...what content ? The only thing that Stormblood lack when compared to HW and ARR are a few expert dungeons, so something I suspect most people do only because they're doing their expert and actually don't really care what dungeon they end in.
And, more importantly, what content do you think we would have received if Eureka wasn't, that would have been so much better ?

I wont list things, but the list is long, are you serious Reynhart? because that questionning have plenty of answers, I will just hold myself from naming things because that could end up bad. I will just go ahead & readd

Knock it off already with the reskins as rewards.

Oh look fate/run/aggro/raise/die/raise/cuss/mpk/end of fate. raise raise raise oh wait we no longer have ppl that can handle resurrecting in our party.

But he's right though the only thing that was cut from the formula was 1 dungeon from the odd patches, are you per chance asking them to reimplement things like pvp? what is this content that got cut exactly?
And frankly dungeons have met plenty of criticism so what's the point?

What. Missing. Content. Are. You. Talking. About.

Pvp really?Well if you want to add this to the list sure,ppl do complain about pvp(I'm not doing it but I sure see their comments)

Let me add,train of rmts doing storylines(do you know how many of theses ive seen while running my slow lalafell mule around the whole storyline for a second time?)
X Y Z disappear with characters under the ground & pop 1000yalms away in a matter of seconds,that is one thing that could be handled much better,

NXT,
Main scenario fix that force players doing the roulette to watch 1hour of cutscene for no reason(I stopped doing that roulette the day it got implemented)
MS roulette should be completely removed or more should be added to it(I will leave & take the 30minutes penalty if I get a praetorium & the other dungeon if I get that as roulette)
One fix could be to take off the 30seconds zoom on your staggered face in the cs & cut down the cs time by half & even half of it probably would be too much.

Housing could of been all stormblood was in my opinion with this 17months that took this one eureka zone soo far.Wards/plots could use more items to display,
we could turn around the way houses are facing on the land or even move them to a different corner, we could use more exterior designs like some said some are actually bad depending on positions & players would use more basic simple one, or make more extraordinaire exteriors like tonberry, limitation that doesn't allow me to put hedges completely around my plot shouldn't be(hedge shouldn't even exist if you cant do proper use of it,theres not enough items allowed to layout because then its at the cost of everything else (like I posted under housing,Go read elsewhere))

Housing insides,doors options are very limited & so most of that look bad unless you manage to make miracles with the 3 options you have,
interactive items,go past 40 & your items disappear at sight,Default pillars & windows inside are not customizable you actually have to hide them if you dont like them.

Mounts/Generic musics versus original songs or just duplicatas///
When on a double seater mount as a passenger, you can not utilize some items like (aether current compass) while on your own mount by yourself you can,
Also I noticed that you can not change ring#2 slot no matter what you do if you are passenger it'll always go to ring #1 (unless I'm mistaken,,,)

Also,

Spoiler alert: Do dragoon questline as soon as you can upon getting access to coerthas (dragonhead)area because further on the main mission line it actually doesn't match this questline too well anymore.

Fishing & collectables:while gathering with botany & miner for turn ins, to my knowledge while you can get optimal values with theses 2 fishing is a whole different story,
offhand tool could be great for more gathering & perception yet all we have is gig.

As ppl mentioned before too much of a crowd means npc(monsters & players in your party) disappear from screen/vicinity.

FC requirement for workshop? anyone who is/can be a single fc holder or even if there is 4 members,it doesn't mean you possibly have all of them on at the time wanted yet fc can handle building stuffs by themselves
as long as they get 3 other persons randomly asking.

Specialist souls for crafters, limited to 3.

Macros,macros is one thing that make 11,macros system is definatly something that should be fixed.

Limitations on some items should be removed like, a lot of medicines recast timers arnt worth it, also there is no reason that we should only be allowed x2 food duration as they already doubled it, we should be allowed 24hours if we wanted as for a new player sprinting the whole path from a to z skipping cutscenes (skippable ones...) take about 14days of playtime instead we have to use food every 1h & thus forgetting it at times, if you want to just do that you should be able to imo, sure you dont want vitality & you do want crafting food instead well so be it,overwrite the food, that would be our mistake not coding.

Zodiac to Anima glass, how come did we get a key item for anima weapons but the good old zodiac stand physicaly in your inventory? I started a zodiac book for sch, I accidently cancelled the quest (glad I wasn't far into it) but the maximum allowance to quests accepted (specially as there is soooooo many of them) should be pushed further on the limit or at the very least some quests should fall under a specific category.

I could state many more things but instead ill just say this,There is soo many things that could be done for this game health & instead we get the current first eureka feel which ppl claim that it took 17months, heck I think 12 months for that would be just as bad , as Vstarstruck stated,I would take a single dungeon over this & while a couple of you are saying that we just lost one dungeon, (Im one of the few that think the production rate of a single dungeon per patches is actually very little) I want a full expansion pack upon purchasing not several crumbs over 12months, Hildebrand storyline seems to be going downhill & the highlight is that whenever new missions get released, it last 1day.

Nice examples you have here.
I won't list all the reasons why you're wrong, but the list is long.

Do you mind if I start arguing like that too? It's actually really easy and convenient as it takes no time and you don't have to prove anything.
"Eureka is so good I can't even start to list all the reason why."
Oh gosh I love that new way of arguing. I wish I knew about it sooner.

Well you obviously seems to like it,even tho you are retaliating to it

yeah let me list the fixes that could of been addressed better if Diadem 3.0 did not exist:

More SB content in general, it was really slow and dry (thanks to the recourse pouring into the diadem black hole)
Proper balancing of PvP
Addressing server issues
MSQ roulette fixes, the bandaid fix of making people watch CS is half baked.
Proper glam log, not the pre-alpha phase of dresser system
Proper fixes to inventory
Housing issues with indoor and outdoor limit
interactive limits
giving options to disable interactive items like walls of the above can't be addressed
More options to doors, like dyeing the door or wood around it, so on.\
More options to inner windows, not simply hide them.
going with pvp and server issues, lower game latency like no more hitting people with a melee lb who is across the field.
When on the second person on a double mount you can't use items or abilities (think gathering) only the lead can use truth of the forest and cordails for example
Collecting balances of fishing vs btn/miner
Something about a MSQ issue with one of the HW quests
sprint in city issues.
Weird happenings that the game cant handle medium to large crowds so things just vanish. (again goes back to server issues)

A lot of other more important things could been done to improve the game then working on a 17 month black hole. I really wished this diadem 3.0 did not exist at all so they could address some of the things stated in the list above.

Ye, you have wrote nothing that was cut, just your opinions of what things should be I should've know, some aren't even worth time, but nice triying to hide that but writing as close as possible.

This is not something cut, it is poor content that could be fixed by a lot, I think that most players would rather have this type of cattering than a forced bandwagon... you know the rest ppl ^^ I'm done responding to you remedi.

ps: & actually ive seen some comments about things that should of been fixed from years ago that never happened, so yes it is a cut, not correcting a final product is lame, pls refer to my washing machines post if you do not understand where I'm coming from^^
