So uh, wheres the long lasting content?

[DPZ2]

I wish content in this game would be more than just "kill X amount of things to finish Y instance".

You aren't new to the MMORPG genre, and are very perceptive. And still ... you continue to play. There must be something besides killing Zevrha for their hooves that's keeping you playing.

Figure out what that is and you'll know the True Secret of every MMORPG. The Reason people come back and play a game year after year.

Yeah. It was the Friends We Meet Along The Way the whole time. That, and the dopamine rush you still get when entering the <insert favorite dungeon/raid instance here> for the 8th year in a row ...

Tru dat.
I'm barely playing and keeping my sub up only to log in once a week to help a friend with some content. It's been quite a while since I thought that nothing really keeps me in this game anymore, so someone might get their hands on a medium soon.
Games in general don't keep me on a leash of "you'll miss out if you don't log in".
14 was a breath of fresh air when I started to play, but it's been a long time ago. SE changed nothing about their content formula and everything has been the same, there's nothing "new" in how they develop things, I guess because people are happy with whatever this "saint" company does with the game. I'm not so happy anymore because essentially there's nothing new for me to see so far.
Jobs being brought down to one linear level where almost everything feels the same if you put similar skills in the same slots on your hotbar, dungeons are pretty much reskins of each other, just bosses having slightly different mechanics etc.
I don't personally need to have "daily content" to keep me playing, but I would wish things would get more interesting than stuff everyone got used to. If people like it - I have nothing against it, it's up to each individual to decide what's fun for them, I never judge people on that one. To each their own.
I hope the game will see some change someday tho.

Content drip feeding is real. If I wasn't an MMO nut, chasing pointless achievements, mounts and collectables I'd have very little reason to play other than FC nights, so OP's correct here. 6.15s content was over and done with in a single evening, about 3 or 4 hours. Taking my time too. Tataru's "grand adventure" is a single quest on a timegate, Omega's was good but again, two yellow quests. Then the beast tribe which is a daily activity. So yeah. If you werent a % chaser, youd be in trouble if you wanted to make this your "main" game or mmo. Sometimes it feels like stuff is deliberately dragged out in order to save on dev time and resources. If you play everyday, and you're caught up on msq, it's surprisingly easy to forget vast swathes of it even exist considering how little you actually spend doing it. (An hour or two, every couple months)

It's even worse when you consider the largest part of this patch, the Arkasodara beast tribe, would typically have been part of 6.1 but was instead delayed to 6.15.

Back in 5.15, we got a BLU level cap increase and a new PvP gamemode. 6.15 had two yellow fetch quests and another piece of fetch-quest content that was supposed to have been in 6.1. This game really is just turning into a visual novel, where months worth of sub is just buying some text boxes to read.

THIS GAME HAS NO CONTENT!

I think Square should add a half-month sub plan with how many people insist the game has nothing to offer past one day.

There's Lala Fishing competitions that are held in Ul'dah. Place one whole gil at the end of your fishing line and go to town! See how many Lalafell you can pull in with just a single coin. The more shiny the gil, the better! Lolorito is the hardest to catch, so you gotta real pull out all the stops if you wanna snag him!

There are a variety of reasons someone might feel obligated to the game, and many of them are completely unrelated to the quality of the current content. Game systems like Housing, or social systems like FCs and statics can create a situation where someone feels pressured to remain subscribed, despite the game not really offering enough content to justify the price.

Knowing that the consequences of unsubbing are something they don't want to deal with, they look for ways to justify staying subscribed. When they can't find any, they end up in threads like these discussing the lack of content.

guy youre replying to is just a troll. he just goes around the forums fanning flames and posting popcorn gifs. kind of like a more moronic version of titanmen.

So where exactly is all this new long lasting content? We still have to wait until what, July or August for 6.2?

You only have one combat job at 90. With the introduction of the new Beast Tribe quests, this is the ideal opportunity for you to rake in an easy 2.4 million XP a day on your 80+ jobs so that you can finally tackle all the role quest lines that you haven't even started. There's also a new set of weekly deliveries for your crafting and gathering jobs. I don't know what else to tell you. I've been playing this game almost every day for the past year and a half and have never run out of things to do. If your definition of "long-lasting content" is raiding, raiding, and more raiding, then WoW may be more your speed.

convert this to Reais, I live in Brazil =)

I mean... the game is not officially launched in Brazil so...

Did you do Sightseeing, all the Custom Deliveries, all the Tribal Quests (used to be called Beast Tribes), Finished all the Arr Zeta Weapons, all the Heavensward Anima Weapons?
All the Jump Puzzles, every Side Quest in every area, do all of Heaven on High and Palace of the Dead; The Hero & Necromancer Titles, gotten every single mount (some mounts I know are impossible to get and some you have to buy) did you do DR Extreme, Shared Fate in ShB & EW, and You said All Crafters and Gathers are Maxed....what about all Combat Jobs? And the Tank Mounts? And Tank Titles. Did you Collect Every Title? Raised Chocobo to max, and gotten all Bardings?
Optional: Did you become a Mentor?

Also you said you didnt do Ultimate.
So..you haven't done everything, and there is something for you to do. Objectively.

I love how you’re another example of what people have been saying in here. “HAVE YOU DONE X Y Z?!?!” which is really just the illusion of a meaningful grind but in reality you get very little for actually doing it. No offense but i want to be rewarded for my time. As for jobs, i don’t want to play gutted and simplified jobs. Maybe when SE decides to actually fix them and give attention to them i’d give them a try. I don’t understand how asking for more long lasting content and a better mid-core/endgame warrants “but did you do these super meaningless tasks from 3-4 expansions ago?!” I’m talking about this expansion, endwalker, the one i paid for recently.
