Instead of cutting Ultimate from 5.5 why not cut bozja?

Wouldn't do you that favour honey.

Removed content:

- Deep Dungeons
- (Hard) Dungeons
- We used to get 2 dungeons
- Simplified tanks, removed diversity in gameplay
- The second relic step is literally a raid
- Ultimate is gone, so there's that

Might not seem much to you but honestly all of this had value and got thrown out the window. We got Ishgard instead, which is a cool idea but I miss that content.

Add Hildy and maybe 1-2 trials to that, collab event with more then "talk to an npc, do 50 fates, done" ...i give them the events, ok... yet still, it feels "less"...

I want the game to cater to me! ME ME ME ME ME!!!

Some of the overreaction and selfishness in this thread is awful. I get being disappointed that some content that you were looking forward to will not be there but please have some perspective...

It's a MPK thread it's pretty on brand really

This all but puts the nail in the proverbial coffin that Shadowbringers has, unfortunately, been a severe letdown. At least for me.

Naturally, this is all subjective and others here will feel very differently. However, outside the MSQ, it feels like more and more content has been cut to focus on roleplay additions and other superfluous content that lacks any real longevity. That isn't to say something like say, Ocean Fishing, had any impact on Ultimate. We have no idea of developer crossover when it comes their respective skill sets. That doesn't change the fact, this expansion felt extremely lacking in the battle content department. Between the divisive nature of Bozja, simplification of every job, Deep Dungeon and now Ultimate both getting axed (you're kidding yourself if you think they'll do three in Endwalker.), I can't deny my overall disappointment with Shadowbringers, especially after it started off so strong.

Now I'm left questioning what to even bother doing in FFXIV. Outside of logs are a website we won't discuss, gear is completely meaningless now. So rip the 24 man and any relevance it had. I do have to farm dragons, so I suppose there's that. Outside of Delubrum Savage, Shadowbringers is mostly heading towards a very lengthy content lull.

because the majority of players will do bozja over ultimate as its more accessible.
and besides u probably already knew that..i hope.

[Duskane]

can we cut op from the forums

[MPK]

A lot of people were hoping to do ultimate with this gear that we had to put effort into farming and now it's completely useless! Are we just going to forget that?!

[Stepjam]

Yes, why cut the content that like 5% or less of the game's population will do in favor of content that the majority of the population can do?

It's definitely a shame, but in Stormblood the second Ultimate was in 5.3, so the relic weapon was hardly ready to go there either. It's honestly pretty standard that there's nothing to really use the finished relic on that's new. It's not ideal but nothing new.

[DoH]

imagine comparing difficult, on-content 8-man raid content with a solo rng fest that forces you to play with an incomplete job.

they're not even remotely similar in terms of the challenges they bring. you know this, of course. but anything to stick it to those damn raiders, amirite?

embarrassing, honestly.

So... I take it someone hasn’t been able to solo PotD and/or HoH yet, but they are nonetheless complaining about a lack of “difficult content”?

Embarrassing, honestly.

You don't get to pull that card when you're simultaneously proposing that other 'filler' content should be cut off instead. You really don't lol

Bozja is fun though i wish ppl would actually use stuff like aetherweaver and items that boost their dps because sometimes the new raid can take 1 hour to run because of low DPS. Bosses have some insane HP in there.
