Anyone else just feeling really disapointed this expansion?*vent*

* long list of stuff

So it's the usual stuff plus other stuff that might catch on or might burn itself out before the first week is even over. I'm holding out hope for criterion dungeons, but its a coin toss whether it succeeds or not.
I've noticed "patch apathy" settling in much faster than it used to. You ask yourself "why should I do x now, if next patch I will do Y instead and invalidate previous stuff". The negative side of the patch reliability I guess, specially if you have several expansions on you.

That's classic final fantasy.

Not gonna lie, the weird "THIS IS WHAT REAL FINAL FANTASY IS" gaslighting going on in the forums is starting to get on my nerves.

On the subject of the second point honestly that has long been my most hated part of this game, sure it’s a final fantasy game so it’s supposed to have lore tie ins but each final fantasy game is mostly in a self contained world (yes I know things like tactics 12 and 14 are technically in the same world) and it gets really annoying having people do things like defend the changes to SMN and go ackshooly FFXIAJGJSLHK said that SMN is actually this exact class therefore we have to have it this exact way, despite the class having its own lore in this game

I’m happy the devs take inspiration but please let 14 breathe, it’s not a greatest hits compilation of exactly the FF game you played when you were 7

To the point of SE "miss the timeing for the content" . The people say they are not miss the point. Take what we get in 6.25,why it's so late when it need to be content that relevant at the start of the expression not mid of it. Same for the new deap dungeon, why it's in 6.3/4 and don't 6.1 . It's things like this that are a problem.

Abracadabra, here is 2 years worth of development in just 4 months.

Things take time to do in life, especially game development. If you put yourself in the position of drawing concept art, creating all of the models, animations and environments, painting all of the textures, writing the story, designing a fight scenario that meets strict criteria for the content type, coding the functions, scripts and cutscenes and coming up with some good background music that is completely your own piece and not someone else's, you will start to see how it's a lot of work. All of these things can and probably do have bugs and issues that need fixing over and over again until the bugs are gone.

No it ain't lol

In FF9 you visit towns full of dwarves, mages and rat people and in FF7 you meet a lot of 4-legged creatures at their home and talk to them. I don't know about others, but subverting your expectations by having you meet a completely ridiculous type of people feels like exactly what FF games have done to me before, so seeing Loporrits was easy for me to shrug off because I know what type of game I'm playing.

It's one of the most idiotic arguments, really. People trying to dictate what "real final fantasy" is when Square-Enix hasn't gotten a grasp on it since Sakaguchi left. Every Final Fantasy since X has been a war of directors stating "this is MY vision of what Final Fantasy is".
Those are usually the same players who claim new SMN is more "FF-like" even though the way Summoning works in FF hasn't been the same in over two decades.
