Local Levees - The Bastard Stepchild of FFXIV

[Inaaca]

Actually they said that they were making the focus of leve more solo content, they never said they were taking focus away.

When FINAL FANTASY XIV was launched last September, it was stated via official channels that guildleves will form the heart of the game. Today, I’d like to officially retract that statement.

Guildleves will no longer be central to FINAL FANTASY XIV.

Was pretty big news at the time.

I know this, but like I said they have since reformed battle leves, increased xp, added a bonus at the end of completion, added company leves etc.

Don't be selective either.

We will reposition guildleves as content catering to solo adventurers, which can be enjoyed repeatedly and with minimal time investment and fuss.

Is exactly what I previously said.

Ironically due to Power-levelling many low level players are forced to do Leves as the only way to progress because they can no longer find optimal parties.

So his plan didn't work out so well did it ?

None of this has any relation to local leves either as that producer letter was mostly aimed at battle leves.

As the OP said people have been requesting for more variety in local/field leves since the games launch and nothing has been done about it.
