6.2 Hrothgar Update

[RitsukoSonoda]

The devs do the bare minimum they have to so that they keep production cost down and maximize profit, modders actually care about what they're doing.

Modders also do what they want when they want. Game devs not so much

Modders can also take as long as they want cause they dont need to answer to big company executives..

Horthgar was a mistake tbh, if you want my opinion.

No, that's Viera. Hrothgar Yoshi-P wanted to add, Viera they caved into fan demand. Had they never caved into fan demand, it's very likely Hrothgar would have come out with 0 limitations, with its female variant, and we wouldn't even be having this talk. But Viera WAS added, and is the devs favorite, something noticeable to everybody. Hrothgar needs help, badly.

Also, if you want to know just how stupid your "Hrothgar was a mistake" comment is, as of the last census, there are more active Hrothgar players than there are female elves. There are more active Hrothgar players than there are active female Roe players. There are more active Hrothgar than there are male Roe players. For something that "was a mistake", it sure seems more popular than 3 specific race/gender combinations, INCLUDING the one you're playing.

Why did they even add this race to begin with?

if you really think Hrothgar would have 0 limitations if they didnt include viera and decided to add the females you are just delusional or just upset because someone called hrothgar a mistake.
If you think you have limitations now imagine adding female hrothgar heads into the equation.

Just to make you ask this silly question.

[Akimori]

They said they DIDN'T want to add another race
They said those races would have LIMITATIONS
YOU CHOOSE to play that RACE
Now you're CRYING on the forums about it.

Horthgar was a mistake tbh, if you want my opinion.

He also said that H/V would get racial specific hairtsyles and updates to them as the patches went on which....that OBVIOUSLY didn't happen. Promises were made in the beginning that were recanted afterwards without at least coming forward and telling the players of said races that they would no longer be receiving these updates. I know this problem was fixed, but no where did yoshi say that Hrothgar would have to pay to change their hair because their hair was tied to their face. Please be quiet. :^)
Yoshi was the one who wanted a beast type race. The only other race that the *PLAYERS* wanted was Viera which Yoshi originally did NOT want to add.

The difference between V/H were that a *BEAST TYPE PLAYABLE RACE* was what Yoshi himself wanted. Viera was not something he wanted, but was coaxed into it

I am so sick of the "bUt ThEy sAiD ThEyD hAvE lImItAtIoNs AnD yOu ChOsE tO pLaY iT!!!1!" Excuse that its honestly became a freaking meme

This studio just doesn't have the resources...

OH! THERE THEY ARE!

There is also the upgrades to the game engine, development of "the missing gender" and development of future patch content, including dev time on the next expansion...
But Apparently thats not an excuse, and to suggest it means you are excusing and defending the company

You're forgetting FF 7 Rebirth. But yeah, in my opinion, when SE has a major project or two in the pipeline, FF XIV conveniently suffers a lot in regards to quality and quantity of its content. Which is to say that it happens more often than it probably should. This game doesn't get near as much put back into it as it deserves.
