    No one even cares about the story, I personally skip all the cutscenes and I know many others who does the same. The only thing that matters in this game is the battle content.

    Edit: This is clearly the case in streaming platforms. Ultimate fights draws tens of thousands of viewers while people who stream the story only get like single digit viewers if any!

    I really don't care if you like the story or not, that's up to you but to say that no one cares about the story couldn't be more wrong. One of the big reasons Shadowbringers got such a high praise was because of the story and even the story writer got a standing ovation for it.

    >No one

    >I know at least 15 people who only sub for the story.

    Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the people who love the story intensely outweigh the people who love the battle content, let alone the people who love Ultimate. The battle designers aren't the ones putting farmville into the game. Ultimate was cut due to them needing all battle designers on-board for Endwalker battle content development due to COVID impacting their work flow.

    From all your posts, it seems extremely clear you're unsatisfied with Square doing what any smart business would do and prioritize the content that will be vastly more played by the people bringing in the $$$ than more niche battle content. if you're that unsatisfied, vote with your wallet; complaining on the forums will get you nowhere; they made the decision to cut ultimate fully well knowing it'd annoy a smaller vocal portion of their fanbase so you're yelling into the void on this matter.

    I care! And I always hope for both rewarding story and engaging battle content.

    I have a fashion blog with almost 5,000 followers. Even streaming is only one small part of the playerbase, mind you - I'd much rather be playing a game myself than watching someone else play content that I would find too difficult to enjoy.

    I watch all the biggest ultimate streamers and those streams have 200~300 viewers on average. Tens of thousands? no.

    Seriously, what are they talking about. Casuals like SarahKey are incredibly popular, whereas the ultimate raiders like Venosys have a pretty negative reception in fandom and literally no one knows them outside of it. No one cares about Ultimate except the people playing Ultimate. I'm not saying they shouldn't make it, but when shit like COVID happens(which, is a serious set back despite what basement dwellers want to believe), it should be the first to go. Accessibility before exclusivity.

    Also the entire reason Shadowbringers got a 90 metacritic was the story lmfao. Raiders are pretty universally disappointed by Shadowbringers, proving that they are so few to not even impact the review scores or care more about story than raiding.

    The most views that FFXIV gets is during the world progression of Ultimate content. You have no idea what you are talking about

    During world prog in Ultimate, the high end streamers easily gather 1k plus viewers. Not only this but a lot of views spread over more streams. I don't know what kind of verifiable you are talking about. You should just stop talking. You're trolling.
