Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

The biggest thing is "slow their patch schedule". Someone will come in here and say, "well, they have said just hiring more developers won't work. They need to hire and train them." They can actually add a lot of the things players want, they just won't commit the time or resources to doing it. Rather, SE seems to siphon resources out of this game to fund failed project after failed project.

It saddens me because this is very true and the failed projects were ones I had high hopes for; namely: Dissidia NT (which admittedly has a good plot, but a terrible way to tell it), and the Avengers game, which... was less than fine, like, it was ok but not worth the price tag and MTX.

Besides that, I'm glad the thread is still alive and there's still support and demand. Please give me bun boys and I'll Fantasia every 3 months.

I had high hopes for Dissidia NT. In a better world, it would have been crafted with as much fanservice as the latest Smash game given the similar premise. Or something like Tekken 7 or Soul Calibur 6.

Instead the game ended up being a flop and has since been discontinued.

FFXVI intrigues me and I enjoyed FFVIIR. So it isn't as if Square Enix lacks the talent to make magic happen - it's that some of the base design decisions in some of their games are rather bizarre these days in my opinion.

If you didn't know, NT was just a Console Port of a Japanese Arcade Game.
Just like Tekken 7

Dissidia NT was so disappointing compared to the first two
Legit best thing to come from the game is they can just port stuff from NT to FF14
like they did with Type zero and 14

This was on the first page of general everyday for the better part of a year. Yet we still got zero updates. I think SE is keenly aware when they get spammed on twitch about male viera, or twitter, that there is a demand for them.

Yeah, which brought about issues - apparently they couldn't release content for the game when it was ready due to the arcade version needing an exclusivity period or some such. Tekken 7, at least, feels much more fleshed out by comparison. Plenty of eye candy on both sides of the fence, too.

Just saying LMAO

The money brought in by FFXIV doesn't stay to fund just the game, though. The executives only give XIV just enough budget to continue running, and nothing more. This is, in part, why we keep hearing about how the developers are implementing additions to the game "on their own time"

I know we should thank developers for sacrificing their time for stuff like that... but in all honesty, "free work" for the better of the game should come from a indie-company and not from a multi million company like SE - oh i forgot SE is just that!
