also about the time thing

they got the time for it lol if they had time for the lame monster hunter junk and ff15 event nxt month

Your opinion.
The Monster Hunter Fight was amazing, 4 man content that can kill you - its amazing imo. Also, 4 man ex. {Yes, please}
People enjoy different things in games, I dont give a damn about Story and lore for example.
But tbh I'd rather have them spend time on fights, you stay subbed for fights.
You can only enjoy a Story once.
Atleast in my opinion

Respectfully disagree on this one, especially for FFXIV. I've noticed on lodestone a lot of people seriously underestimate how much narrative detail the devs put in, to the anti-intellectual tune of "it's not that deep".

(Not saying you are btw! Got no beef with you, just chatting.)

I've seen plenty of works that are purely literal, face-value stuff. FFXIV is not in that number. Anyone who looks at the Sephirot fight and comes away thinking it's just an edgy monster is missing a ton.

Besides attachment to the cast/world and speculating, analyzing stuff through revisiting the story can add a lot of value. Makes going back a lot of fun for people who are into that.

I get you have a different approach and that's fine, but the replay value for FFXIV is high for fans who do prioritize storytelling. Takes all types, you know? The fact that SE manages to engage so many different game styles means they get a bigger audience and more resources, allowing for stronger expansions.

Personally I'd be fine with more Xaela but not before other stuff's been hit first. We're lucky, they made a really rich world and are basically free to move around it at will arc to arc. What they don't hit at one point they can delve into more at another.
