No, remember that was Doomsaying, it was a particular event that will never be repeated. White Knights promised on that, i still remember them. Many of them still arround.

We may accept this fate, or defy it, but we cannot deny it.

I am at least sympathetic to the people angry about this, because I felt the same about Alpha and Deltascape, as well as Ivalice. But on the other hand, Nier is good and Yoko Taro is good, which is a wild divergence from FF4 and anything set in Invalice. So in short, Eorzea is a land of contrasts...

Not sure they could take Disney stuff outside KH, but SE publish mangas, so we can have a Fullmetal Alchemist raid in 6.x !

I love FmA and can see a lot of parallels between elements this story and that one... and I would hate to see it get a crossover. Even more than these crossovers with things I don't know. It would feel like fake versions of the characters doing something that isn't their story - which has already played out from start to finish. The thought of it just seems wrong.

If they can at least resist the urge to just port things over that don't fit and instead use the source material to inspire.. then it'd be okay. We'll see how it goes though; and for now, i'll be cautiously optimistic that the dev team won't allow too many new stories to stomp on (or circumvent) the lore that they laid down for the world.

Saying all that though.. i would love it if we got some new, original content that wasn't ported from other FF games or collaboration style events.

"we want something different in the game, its all so samey"

*devs show off a bunch of different things than what we've had"

"NO, WE DIDNT WANT THIS KIND OF DIFFERENT, WE WANT OTHER DIFFERENT"

You know it's not that simple, right?
When (most) people say they want sqe to take some risks and do something different, that doesn't mean that they have to be happy with everything that square comes up with. The new stuff has to be criticized and scrutinized the same way we would get anything else.

I don't disagree with this, buts its funny to see the same people complaining we never get new or different things all the time, and then saying the last new or different thing doesnt count because of "reasons"

Like, you'd think after several years of being completely unhappy with the game and its direction, they would, you know, move on.

Even this can be a hard thing to do.
Take me for example, i can rake SQE over the coals a lot and i think they deserve it; but at the end of the day, i have friends that play and there are aspects of gameplay/story that keep me vested in playing. For a lot of people, the things that they think that SQE does that are odd/stupid/confusing aren't enough to pack it in and abandon all the time they've invested or people they've met.

Now, i mean.. it can be confusing sometimes when you see some of the really vitriolic hatred; rather than the criticisms (or snarky comments), but there must be something keeping them here.

A lot of people mistake not liking something for it being terrible and inexcusable. I long for the day where more players realise that this particular forum is often an echo chamber of negativity and a poor reflection of the overall player-base and their tastes/desires.
