This is getting ridiculous. (Endwalker MSQ and post MSQ spoilers)

[FrogDog]

Honestly don't see the problem. Game has basically Infinite glamor choices already.

It really doesn't with role restrictions and getting the same gear for the same roles multiple times now. Also, with dye channels on gear being very limited and lots of things just dying strangely, many things just don't work together. Less is not more in this case, less is just less.

It's nice that you like the MSQ but the game needs a lot of little things to keep players interested for the months between a few cutscenes. Glams are one of those things.

I love Endwalker but my god they used the exact same set basically for both healer and casters for the new tomeset! and it looks god awful for male character players!

They pretty much always do that and have for ages and ages and ages. It sucks, but it's not new.

Honestly don't see the problem. Game has basically Infinite glamor choices already.

It has some of the best story and music so far and we have a lot of patches to go.

You also have a new pvp thing, islands, housing an ultimate with new stuff likely. Raid tier gear and next tombstone stuff and new crafted sets coming it's really not Doom and gloom with all the choices already on game.

Your already hard pressed to even hold all the stuff anyways.

Man I feel like these forums people make a mountain out of a mole hill. Obviously it got made during a pandemic your going to have some faults.

We have some of the best towns here since ARR.

For the amount of money you have to pay (monthly) the new content/updates are pretty much "miserable" I love this game but its already outdated in so many ways.

New expansion for 40 bucks but;

-No open world ( loading screens everywhere)
-No textures updates
-No new character creator (No new faces, accessories , hairs , tails , ears w.e )
-Nothing from ARR/HW/SB has changed, same zones.
-Old content gets nothing, not even an update for like .. a new zone or new NPCs, nothing Limsa/Gridania/Uldah have been exactly the same city since ARR.
-MSQ still not fully voiced.
-No cinematics outside of the trailer.
-Invisible walls everywhere.

You don’t see a problem with us getting less and less each expansion despite the game gaining new players and much more money?

This is hands down, by far, my biggest complaint about EW. ShB had a ton of unique gear, and was literally one of my standing points of quality over WoW when trying to convince my friends to come over. That point is not only just gone, it has been obliterated with EW.

Having almost no new cosmetics really....really hurts. Considering I care more about how I look, over how powerful I am in any game I've played.

I agree with this completely. Getting geared up in this game takes no time at all. And in a few months when the next patch comes you'll have to grind again for the new gear. Then again and again. And if you take time off or anything and miss a couple patches? That's okay, you can gear up just as quickly regardless of not playing for so much time while others have continued playing solidly.

So there's no gear chase or working towards getting stronger outside of the repeat cycle of tome grinding and/or raiding.

So what is there to work on outside that? Sure there are a bunch of classes to level, but it's all the same content over and over. Yeah you can craft or gather, but same thing goes there too.

One of the things that gives you reasons to go all over the place and participate in content across the span of the ENTIRE game and its content are the cosmetic options. It's the same reason people play Destiny 2 or Warframe. Cosmetics. Making your character look cool.

And that's one of the absolute biggest draws for me in FFXIV. I prefer roleplaying over the other content that I think is boring and formulaic(not to mention WAY too easy). And I crave cosmetics, housing items/houses, mounts, etc.

And this expansion cheaped out on pretty much everything other than having a ton of story that everyone will play through once, scratch their head over the insanity in it, and then move on.

I think the part I most found ridiculous of the gear-reuse is the fact we got Neo Ishgard recolor. Neo Ishgard was literally last expac, so it's not some gear somewhere that was recolored for use that we haven't seen a while, but literally the previous expac, why?

It didn't even dye well either. lol

It makes me sad how exactly right you are. And the fact that the rest of the community really loves the cosmetics. Here I was hoping that EW would expand on the glam storage, or reinvent it to be more like WoW's glam storage (Which is infinitely superior). Instead, we just got less of literally everything but story.

It's casual gearing in a largely casual MMO. Unless someone does Savage and Extreme trials regularly, they are probably gearing up this way. Welcome to FF XIV? Also, they did say that they would be looking into expanding the glamour dresser if they could at some point in the Endwalker patch cycle. That could mean soon or years from now, but it was mentioned. But yeah, storage is one of FF XIV's most glaring flaws in my opinion. That much I can agree with, and I hope it gets addressed sooner rather than later.

I do hope they intend to make versions of the Vanaspati glams that are not job-locked considering that we mostly see civilians wearing them.
