the issue is the average consumer can no longer "vote" or get anything done with their wallet anymore as long as there's a small percentage of players who hand them a large amount of money they could care less.

and as others have said they were fine with SHB cause they thought it'd lead to something in EW or just be an experiment which wasn't the case, i think we're past teh point of "seeing what the devs do" tbh. especially when we get things like SMN that gets defended with "oh but devs will make it feel complete later or int eh next expansion" cause we should wait for a year and a half for a fleshed out kit? i mean hell our lovable carbuncle is basically useless now, and we have like one thing to think about "can i use 2 ifrit hardcasts/1 garuda hardcast here"?

Honestly, it wasn't SHBs it was the late SB that paved the floor for what was to follow and people yelled and screamed. SE didn't do anything coz their vision is something they wanna uh... Get done!

So it's a bit late to complain now

Embrace the "meh, let's see~" way of nihilistic gamer hopes!

No they said it was the most difficulty they have put into a fight to date and in future wont be repeating it too that level.
They will be doing future Ultimate's, they just wont be near as difficult as they made Dragonsong reprised.

I think they were saying they were going to pull back on the production value. Compared to previous ultimates, Dragonsong had a lot fancy stuff going on with the branching story arc and tons of phases and etc etc. I think they were just saying they weren't going to keep trying to top themselves because it would quickly become too much, so at least the next Ultimate was going to be more straight forward production wise.

Hmm... Dumb down the MMO game... continue to put focus on monetizing games via NFTs... Wait... it all comes together now... They're using FFXIV to attract the ppl that would buy video game NFTs... >.>

wanting the healer to have a DPS rotation similar to a samurai's is NOT complexity, it's bloat for the sack of bloat. If you want more buttons to push, try weaving in more healing/buffing/debuffing on your Healer, and pepper your DPS when you can.

omg so true im gonna have fun by pushing 70% overheal instead of 40% because theres absolutely nothing to heal.

might as well say "if you want to press more buttons just have an unbound key that you press after every malefic"

And they would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids ruining their financial outlook.

Not entirely ruined

imagine seeing bitcoins and NFTs/play to earn games failing/falling/stolen left and right and still even remotely fancying the idea of doing a blockchain game jesus. but then again diablo immortal was attempted and was "successful" soooooo. (which yes wasn't a blockchain game but it just goes to show how far companies are willing to go to make quick bucks and don't care if they hurt their image or anything like that)

I'd love to heal more rather than DPS, I agree with that person

So...

When may I have a redesign to the games content that requires significant healing and thoughtful use of my kit? Where's all the content that isn't healed with reactionary filler on 20-30 second gaps?

So, short of that, give me DPS skills. I signed up to play a video game, miss me with anything else.

At the end of the day, this is a game where the tank hitting level 84 promotes them to the healer as well, rendering the healer slot "Guest."

Mindlessly dumping overheal is basically gameplay sabotage as it's literally no different than standard leeching, this isn't the hidden AFKer role so until then we have to damage and thus, I want it to be fun.
