    We were told Hrothgar and Viera were designed differently from the very start and that these things would be difficult. Obviously they care about textures when they announced a graphics update for 7.0 and changed them in 2.0 dungeons.

    There are no relic steps for EW because the relics are not normally released until the 6.25 patch.

    The "dumbing down and homogenization" can be seen from another perspective which is that they want to make jobs less annoying to play, such as stopping you from having to aim a cone while pulling mobs on a tank. I agree it's starting to go too far but their intention is just to make it less annoying.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    IIRC Hrothgar are noting more than features built onto a Roe Body and Viera were Elezan

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Correct. They're the Roegadyn model with a bit of fuzz and then an unique head model. I'm even convinced said head model is the Roegadyn head but with the frontal face aspects having been re-molded to look like felines.

    Then all they did was take the bones and make whole new animations with the model.
