A Plea to the Devs

[Ath192]

Hey guys! Just wanted to thank you for the hard work into Endwalker and everything. No doubt making a longer expansion was a difficult feat and the story was great.

I wanted to ask though, since the Z/H arc has ended, can you please take some time off creating more story and fixing the big things that need fixing in the game but that were too time consuming and are technical in nature.

-Revamping the glamour system
-Fixing the dyable gear limitations and undyeable sets
-Fixing the graphics engine/textures and adding support for newer features (DLSS, Raytracing, FSR)
-Serious thought into the housing system
-Rework the fashion accesories from a half baked status to always useable as a glam, at least those meant to be extensions of our character like wings or glasses. Umbrellas shouldn't drop the moment you interact with an NPC or Aetheryte, etc.. They are just not an appealing reward at the moment.

I know these things are very hard work and time consuming and they do not add to the story or content in the game, but we just ended a great story, and in order to set up another 10 years of the game then perhaps it is time to go back to the drawing board, correcting all the tecnical limitations that the game has run into and focus on the fundamentals. Once those are fixed, the game will be in a great position to continue advancing without people complaining about these things that have lingered for so long.

Sincerely, a player that does not want to see this game become incredibly dated and border on obsolete. We are thriving, and if these expensive things do not get done now then im afraid they will never happen and it will slowly fade as it ages.

These fixed will set the groundwork for many more years of XIV. Either that or hopefully yall are working on a new MMO because how I see it the game is at its limits. You have admitted to this yourselves.

Kind wishes!

can you please take some time off creating more story

Nobody wants that.
Any of us could die tomorrow. I'd like to enjoy story before that happens, thanks.

Lol, I want that. Making your statement immediately false. Failing to focus on the bones and framework of the game will only kill it. Ideally they can do both, but they cannot ignore it's only downhill from here if they dont address the REAL issues this game has.

If you or I die tomorrow, thats a shame, but I still feel it's the right thing to do, to focus on the fundamentals so the game may continue to thrive into the future.

Fortunately the things you want are not mutually exclusive with the other! The same people who work on writing the story, creating the quests etc. are not the same people who'll be working on stuff like the graphics engine, or the glam system. At least not if the developer team is like any other MMO developer team that ever was.

Exactly. Maybe instead they could devote a few team members to cutting away fetch quests and filler content for past expansions instead so players can advance faster to catch up though...

There's likely some upgrades coming in regards to glamours between now and 6.1 as it's known for some how constrained the glamour system is. Honestly a big problem with my current glamour collection is I can't get rid of any because of the effort required to get them in the first place. At least with the new AF once you unlock them you can repurchase them at any time for glamours at no cost its just a pity this cant be expanded further into an unlock system where once u buy an item from a raid you can repurchase copies of it for free for glamour p.urposes.
