What is going on with Square Enix and the 14 team?

What's going on?

- Babylon's Fall
- Quiet Man
- Left Alive
- Balan's Wonderworld
- Marvel's Avengers
- Insert low effort, barebones remaster/port

It's nice to see our subscription money well spent!

I can't disagree with this one, at least FFXIV always getting better without sub price increased.

New housing is better than no housing at all, PvP is generally fun according to most people I've seen playing, I do hope they allow 2-people in Casual but I can understand pre-made will just crush random players and discourage these people to play. Myth of the realm is so much better than Nier, so is it not worth mentioning? How about give some credits where credits due?

PVP is 100% Unbalanced. I don't know how they tested that

I've been enjoying this game since mid 4.4 so I don't entirely know how it truly was back then. I'll just go ahead and toss in my opinions though. I'm hoping this isn't the expansion where I have to call it quits. The game and the community that doesn't just resub for the next expansion feels like it's being neglected. We get less content every expansion, classes keep being dumbed down, devs still ignore feedback, the community is in that weird state of being both bad and good at the same time, balance is becoming worse, the amount of story is becoming an insurmountable wall, mediocre implementation of gearing at BiS, etc. It's all so tiresome.

I don't want to quit. I've made great friends here and have tons of fond memories laughing my way through savage and ultimate with the static. It just feels like this is following in WoW's footsteps. It didn't die overnight. It died because people were at their breaking point with the many awful decisions.

It's clearly unfinished in some regards but at the same time, they threw Garo rewards behind it and shipped it. It's better by FFXIV standards but trash in even in comparison to WoW Classic's old honour ranking system.

Ah yes people being melodramatic because
they’re calling the company that works on the game out due to

-Their hard earned gil being literally taken from them
-Their races not being supported and only getting 6 new hairstyles after 3 entire years and said hairstyles cut off one of said races most distinct features
-An entire role getting gutted over the span of 6 years and players of said role being told to do the one piece of content that gets updated once every 2 years if they want their role to feel engaging
-(subjective but not really) built up story plot points being rushed out the window, expansions getting cut, plot threads being destroyed etc.

But sure…melodramatic lmao.

The reactions and everything that ensues are melodramatic, yes. This comes from a place that is fairly notorious at this point for being of the mindset that criticisms must be homogenous. Not that you're necessarily the culprit, but this mentality grows more rampant by the week. Additionally, the apparent allergies that people in this game have to be proposed to play something else, going as far to take it as an offense, despite the very this game has adopted a philosophy that doesn't align well with many people anymore.

So yes... Melodramatic lmao.

It’s growing more rampant by the week…well it’s almost as if SE has given people reasons to be upset. It’s almost like in the past couple of weeks we’ve seen their horrible development standards what with hrothgar and the job changes.

I was about say something similar too. Many of SE's releases have not done well and "fell below expectations" I remember when the 2nd trailer of Babylon's Fall was released and revealed to be yet another live-service game many people gave feedback and they gave even more feedback when the beta released, but SE/ Platinum Games kept most things the same. Not surprising the game flopped and only then did they asked for more fan feedback.

I have my issues with the game, but god. You'd think some here straight up want to skewer the devs.

[Dionysius]

We're paying a monthly subscription fee for this. It isn't a charity and there are glaring issues. A patch having the regular expected patch features, after an expansion released no less than 6 months after it should have been (even allowing for COVID that's in excess of what they stated was the time they needed to account for it), on a longer patch cycle, is nothing impressive. They're getting as much credit as is due, and in this case, the response they're getting for these issues is the "credit" that is due.

I can see how some of "you" in the forum just want the game to get better by pretending the game is shit at it's core. Talking down real issue like COVID to keep shitting on the company so they can keep the engine running even harder than before.

It's just sad if they use forum to listen to feedback, and they will get nothing out of it. Just misinformation and hate, nothing that makes sense or even constructive.
I hope this won't drown all those posts with legit concerns and straight arguments to be heard instead of all these non-sense.

Laser Beams whm, PTSD carteneau from smn's etc etc. Dead Blm and mch in strange position. But they just need add stun-immunity for few sec after previous stun and it's fine.
