More Lore??

[Rydin]

They have all the info... I think they have a timetable as to how much info they release... like they spread it out til the patch releases... and all the other stuff is just Lodestone filler. They have all the important updates and if they have say 8 of them...and there are 4 weeks to patch.... they'll do 2 a week... or 1 in the first week... 2 in the second week, 2 in the third week and 3 in the week of the patch....
They enjoy stringing us along to a fair degree

I enjoy the lore

It does not surprise me that a lot of people are complaining (because no matter what people (especially on the ffxiv forums) complain)

You guys no think this lore is exciting?

'According to ancient Mi’qote mystics, aetheric energy permeates all creation even as it exists in its own distinct dimension, parted from the physical plane.'

Right here they are talking about the quantum physics multiverse theory. Energy is everything. The theory is that the universe is expanding at a faster and faster rate. Scientists cant account for all the enrgy needed to expand the universe at its current rate, so they came up with 'dark energy'. They theorize that this energy is in other dimensions which cant be measured from our physical plane.

This type of lore piled on top of all the things happening in the seventh umbral era (which can be described with rl happenings like above) is one of the main reasons i still play and pay

So I understand where you are coming from, everyone has different play styles but many of us DO enjoy the lore

I think 1-2 updates a week is pretty generous and wouldn't expect anymore.

But if you review the order they are releasing information it kind of goes like this:
Lore, lore, seasonal event, lore, lore, minor info, lore, lore.

What i'd like to see is a better time lime:

Lore, Seasonal Event, Major Info, Lore, Small info, Lore, Major info. ect.

In my opinion, most of 1.21's biggest content has not even been discussed, which i find dissapointing.

I don't know what makes them decide when to release info.... I don't know if they like to preserve the mystery or something....
But I bet week of the patch they'll go rapid fire with the info

Exactly. Seems poorly organised at best.

The patch delay itself I can understand. Production can fall behind.

But not releasing info until a week before the patch, seems more like laziness.

thats the thing though... I don't know if it's laziness... It doesn't seem to take any more energy to release info now as opposed to later...
Also the person who makes the call on when to release the info (Yoshi-P) isn't the one who goes about posting it.... So I don't know if it's laziness. Maybe it's some Japanese concept of anticipation and mystery...
To be honest... I really don't know what its about...
