Should FF14 take a new route? Discussion

I think it's important to note that we, the players, don't have a strong idea of where FFXIV is headed.

The Letters from the Producer are there, yes, but they're sporadic and don't really give players any idea of what to expect other than the content that's been played to death already.

I'd also say that each of us has a personal wiew of how it should go that makes coming together kinda hard.

This is definitely true, but even so I have no idea where the developers want FFXIV to go.

Should I just expect every new piece of content to be like Diadem and FATE grinding at this point? Raids, 24 mans, dungeons? I know the developers want to keep the core of the game (new dungeons, new raids, 24 mans, etc.) and I'm not asking them to change that, but is there anything beyond that to look forward to?

Good point. The letters from the producer are about what's immediately coming up. Long term? Who knows. Like, I have no idea what the vision for Eureka is beyond what's there, or even if there is one. Are improvements coming? Will there be additions that have more story, or whole new systems? Who knows.

I tend to think some early feedback might help. If we'd seen that level disparity breaks playing with friends in there outside of the train, maybe we could have brought that up early enough to do something about it instead of discovering it after the fact.
