Was any of the 6.3 content worth waiting 4 months for?

This was his exact wording

Yoshida "It's alright not to play it everyday. Since it's just a game, you can stop forcing yourself if it's hard on you to keep that up. Rather, it'll just pile up unnecessary stress if you limit yourself into playing just that one game since there are so many other games out there. So, do come back and play it to your heart's content when the major patch kicks in, then stop it to play other games before you got burnt out, and then come back for another major patch. This will actually make me happier, and in the end, I think this is the best solution I can answer for keeping your motivation up for the game."

He's gone into multiple game conferences and said the projected subscription cycle they have aimed for are people who play, go on hiatus, then come back for major patches and that they take this into account in all their decisions?

Also not sure how you having more houses to multiown is content ? Lmao

Housing is content and there are now thousands of players trying it for the first time with their first personal house.

You mean the wards that are already filled up in the entirety of NA (except Dynamis) and mostly the same on EU, that took what ? 2 cycles for them to be filled up ? Nice "content" lol, bidding on it and waiting 5 days sure is a hell of a lot of content

[VelKallor]

If the patch doesn't have enough content to last until the next patch, then yes.

If they put out new content, you'd burn it in a day or two , then be back here with the same demand.

*sigh*

I tried. You aint listening...and you never will.

If it's one and done sidequest content or weekly chores that aren't lasting, then yes, and that's not unreasonable. Are Tataru sidequests and weekly crafting turn-ins supposed to last us until 6.4 or even 6.35? Is that all the game is now? A couple of story quests sprinkled in every third of a year and a daily list of chores to get done?

If there's only enough content for a day or two, then of course it's only going to last a day or two. What am I supposed to do? Read one line of MSQ dialogue per day to ensure it lasts until the next patch?

I tried. You aint listening...and you never will.

I've listened to you, but I'm not obligated to agree with you.

Well I suppose that if the goal of the developers is to sprinkle breadcrumbs of content every 4 months, they certainly achieved it with housing. There's already a need for more housing wards and we only got some a month ago.

It was more than a couple, but as I said, you and Aveyond are the same. Doesnt matter what they put out, doesnt matter what content they provide, it is never enough or never good enough for you.

Done with you.

- A new map for PvP that isn't enough to shake up the gameplay.

Also forgot to mention Malmstones for 6.3.

It's literally the same as every other one except 3 different rewards, are we seriously going to call everything content ? Is logging in content too ? Is teleporting to my house content ?

You never made a good attempt at convincing that it was good enough. You gave your opinion, I disagreed, and in response you wrote what can only be interpreted as an angry rant. You say I'm unable to be convinced and yet have not made a good attempt at convincing me. If anything, you've only caused me to have a reason to not actually consider any points you made. Like I said, I'm not obligated to agree with you. You're not owed my agreement. I listened to what you had to say and I disagree.

As I've said, all I want is that the content lasts until the next patch. This is a reasonable request. I'm not looking for a hellgrind. Well, you heard it here folks, apparently wanting content to last means that the content will 'never be enough'. Nonsense.

This is why I neglected to mention malmstones. I almost did, but it's not anything new. I mainly wanted to focus on new content from 6.3.

From the perspective of a pretty casual player, yeah, cause I was doing other stuff during that 4 months as well, not just twiddling my thumbs waiting for more FF14 stuff to do.

I enjoyed the new MSQ, dungeon and trial.
I enjoyed the ARaid, while not as enjoyable as Aglaia imo.
I really enjoyed watching the TOP race.
Anden's custom delivery was kinda cute.
I got to do some dungeon delving with my FC mates and that was a great time.
I like the new leap of faith. Possibly recency bias, but it's my favourite so far.
I haven't actually done any of the new Island Sanctuary stuff, but that's there for when I want to get around to it.

Everything has calmed down these days, people, including myself, aren't logging in as much. Mostly waiting for .35. So in the meantime I'm playing some other stuff that I've had on my list, including some new games I'm really enjoying.
