VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

Story opinion is subjective. Myself and many others thought it was the worst story in the history of 14. Content wise though…

They literally gave us one less dungeon set of gear this expansion. All but 1 or 2 crafter and gatherer sets are all reused. Only 2 unique dungeon sets for battle jobs and the sets they reused for the other dungeons, some of them they couldn’t even make dyable.

Island sanctuary we were told by yoshi p himself not to expect too much. At this point i’m expecting it to be a little instance where you can watch minions run around and nothing more.

Deep dungeon and hildy returning are good, but seeing as the content isn’t even out yet, hard to comment on how well done it is. But the fact they can’t even properly give out more than 6 hairstyles after THREE WHOLE YEARS is pretty telling. The whole job balance being the shittiest it’s ever been is just the cherry on top though.

I'm reserving judgement for the next story arcs, but I've been talking about quality declining for awhile, especially this expansion. They cut off racial features on Reaper, after - I'm pretty sure - saying there would be unique looks for it, gear in general, capes, clipping, etc.. Then one of the first things, that has been anticipated for years for hrothgar, is of this quality. I wasn't happy with the quality of the viera hairs either, but what they did to hrothgar is on another level.

On top of that, I have heard a lot of their top devs have been being moved off the FFXIV team. I really don't know about the future quality of this game.

I agree with you. I too noticed the quality decaying. But the last part afraids me. They said something about why this decision was made?

I think they are being moved/promoted to work on the next FF game or something. I'm not really in the know.
