Should FF14 take a new route? Discussion

[Lyshell]

Call it lack of support from Square or call it fear of trying new things, but something just feels like it doesn't click.

::Stares at the numerous people complaining about the NEW Eureka content::

I can't take this thread seriously when I see the developers constantly trying things out and players hating everything because it wasn't how they imagined. I hate seeing here the demand of "hey give us something new" and "oh I hate this new thing." along with "Why do they always give us the same old content?" I would go insane if I was developer seeing all of this.

"hey give us something new and good"

I fixed that for you, being new content isn't enough.

"hey give us something new and good"

That's a matter of perspective. What's good to you might not be good to someone else and vice versa and that's really at the heard of the issue. How can you please a large number of people who constantly want something "GOOD" when there's no clear answer on what that is. To say that the developers don't try is an insult to them really. They toss out a lot of stuff sometimes it hits sometime it misses.

Nothing is original, everything is inspired from something at some point, Eureka while I don't hate it and I don't love it either.

In this case it wasn't something people expected because they were lead to believe something entirely different, solo (can still do it to a point but not NMs) NMs were supposed to be NMs not bosses.

NM Spawns - Most monsters in FFXI spawn a fixed number of minutes after the previous copy was killed. NMs can spawn like that, but there are often other factors at work. There are various ways that NMs can spawn, and specific terms about them that are listed in the Mob Database:
Timed Spawns: Most NMs respawn within a certain number of hours.

What we got for FFXIV was straight out just boss fates with a NM tag on it.

Devs didn't even try with this, they just copy n pasted mobs, reskin of weapons/armor, copied PotD style loot system, etc etc. They had a chance to provide a lot more meaningful content, but instead they just fell back to their Diadem-like system.
