WoW devs sent a congrats card to the FF14 team

Not sure why this is even posted. They congratulated SE on Shadowbringer launch iirc. Some nice PR points is all it is.

i disagree adding Remake in there honestly. Those characters are so safe from any kindof death they even saved Biggs, Jessie and Wedge. Not to mention Zack. So ye---ah no. Hell even BARRET can't die. He was literally brought back right after a boss.

Except they didn’t save jessie or wedge. Regardless there’s still many more consequences in 7 than in ShB lmao. Especially after the new integrade dlc. You know what that sounds like with Barrett and biggs though? Graha...Yshtola...Thancred...Estinien....

It remains to be seen if they survived for real, they're present in an alternate timeline or if they're just being kept around longer than they were present for in the original game as a consequence of everything being fleshed out more. They could very well just be on hold to given them a bit more time in the spotlight before being fated to perish later on.

Though I was more referring to the consequences and stakes surrounding the destruction of the reactors and the falling plate. The antagonists in FFVII are allowed to counter the protagonists effectively whereas in FFXIV they are rarely afforded that luxury. The result being that the antagonists are generally wiped out to the last man and/or completely dismantled. Whereas in the likes of FFXII and FFVIIR it is outright acknowledged that such wouldn't be possible or desirable as it would effect too many innocent people just wanting to go about their day to day lives.

I think that FFXIV tries to capture similar vibes, but then writes itself into a corner and just ends up utterly destroying everything even remotely morally grey in favour of forcing everyone involved to 'move on' - but only ever at the behest of the protagonists and not through allowing characters and factions to operate independently and in a way that feels natural and consequential.

Obviously you aren't happy with it you continue to say that over and over. Let me say for me at least it was the best xpac to date. Different strokes for different folks as they say. And on topic I think it's pretty neat of the WOW team to send the director that card.

I think it's the best and emotional expac but I don't think they're wrong either tbh

Forum staff should start deleting dumb threads that go for too long...

ahh yes because we should have a vote because I guarantee threads asking for Male viera would have been mass voted out of existence by a majority of the community. In a sea of complaints this is a positive post showing humans being nice to each other. The Blizzard devs seem genuinely excited that Yoshi P posted the card.

It is odd this got reposted by a Blizzard dev from what looks like 2 years after it actually happened. Like one person saw it and then a Blizzard dev saw that who had signed the card and then it spread from there because well Blizzard dev commenting on something about FF14 lol

WoW's dev team is probably relieved to have a serious competitor for the first time in ages. It means that instead of struggling to figure out their own vision for the future of wow (which hasn't exactly been a glowing success recently), they can go back to do what they do best: copy from their competitors.

Nah, it only shows me that someone can't get WoW or Blizzard out of their head rofl.

[SomeRandomHuman]

It's nice to see camaraderie amongst game developers. We need more positivity is this day and age.

I can put down my distain for blizzard to admit that they've done some things right and give them kudos where it's due.
