I hope the XIV team feels the pressure

FFXI is capable of releasing new content in which you fight the same enemies you fought back in 2003... but on a palette swapped texture copy of Crawler's Nest. Don't act like it takes nearly the same amount of effort.

I'm surprised this got 25 likes. Do you guys have eyes or did you ignore the countless repurposed mob models used in XIV from ARR all the way to Shadowbringers? The chameleon that's totally not the giant frog model used in every single expansion yet again, the vulture model, the serpent, etc, all the monsters that are just texture swaps or toss in an accessory or two, who even have the exact same animations and even recycled actions?

I have more fun spotting enemies from the XIII trilogy. Those games had a unique design style.

The biomechanical mecha behemoths from FFXIII you see in the Twinning look great.

And the Cieth was amazing too, i really hoped they'd use more of em, but welp....

I always love that argument because it completely ignores how staggered content, housing and the general slow progression is purposely designed to discourage breaks. Not to mention, Yoshida never said "unsub" when telling people to play other games or take breaks.

-I really hope everyone realized that was sarcasm lol

...yes its terrible, yet they never stagger the meaningfull parts, crafting and/or savage a week, or give us more room for tome - why does my weekly cap get lost if i take a break? Why cant i skip eden a week and then get 2x the loot?

And finally, yes theres only monthly sub, give us weekly and i consider breaks...

...but either way im not willing to loose my house - or even just risk it.

Considering how well Shadowbringers was received, the only pressure I assume they feel is meeting the new level of expectation the player base has for the game narrative.

Amen it's going to be a tough bar to jump over.

Narration, music and the majority of fight design are great, but the others parts...

Waiting for the side "farm" content which will not be for combat jobs again, and will fail at the execution as the other we got before (LoV, Diadem, etc.).

[Kiurai]

I don't think you should worry to much about non combat content harming other content since the team who handles that content is it's own group within the wider dev team, at least if what YoshiP said is true.

Shadowkeeper from the new raid tier remind me of Behemoth from ffxiii too
