Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

[Eriane_Elis]

This game has a lot of challenges.

1. Try to play PotD by yourself, or with a friend. You can start with 4 players or just do it with just yourself or with a friend. It's not easy.

2. You can try to solo or duo / trio unsync content that shouldn't be doable. Some content is impossible due to the mechanics putting you into a bind until you wipe. But even Kefka savage can be cleared with just 3 players. I've done it.

3. You could play trials and change the settings around so it can be very challenging. Try it out, you'll be surprised!

4. Ultimate yes, is difficult and challenging. So much so that it can probably take 2 months to clear it with a static given nobody gives up. (2 months is reasonable if there are a few attempts here and there)

5. Play with random players

6. Make your own rules to the game such as not being allowed to get hit once by anything other than mandatory mechanics.

7. Jumping puzzles

8. Memorizing Praetorium monologues in every language

9. Blind runs on all future content. This means you can't go on YT to find guides on anything

10. Getting the bird minion (I still don't believe this even drops)

There you go, 10 challenging things you can do in this game and there's more things to do. Be creative and when you're tired, try playing as a healer and see how underappreciated you are when you save your party from wipe due to other players being stupid and don't get a com. Being a healer is a tough job, not just gameplay wise but also emotionally when people hate you for their mistakes.

I should not have to make up my own rules to feel engaged by the bulk of XIV's core content. If I have to set arbitrary limitations for myself, then something about the design is lacking.

And in what screwed up world would anyone consider the social abuse that accompanies a job to be a positive substitute for challenge?

It's called a joke. Also it's a role playing game, role playing. Yes, you can make your own rules to things and that's why certain end-game things exist like RP cafe etc...

Sorry, your post started out serious so it was difficult to tell at what point it might have hit sarcasm.
