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

[DPZ2]

Nothing is as exciting anymore. Things have gotten so easy in game there is no difficulty to any content at all. FFXIV might as well be a virtual chat screen with some dungeons mixed in at this point with everyone sitting inside the major cities. There isn't any incentive to go and do any content at all.

And yet, hundreds of thousands of players still log in and do content every day.

What you're describing is "this game doesn't fit well with ME". And that's a YOU problem. It's not a bad thing.

If you truly draw no pleasure while playing the game as currently designed, you'd have quit already.

That's funny...most I know personally DO use Sanctuary to relax. Who says you have to collect anything? I haven't and it still serves as a nice relaxation location.
Next you say there's no difficult content anymore. I suppose that means you have all the Extremes, Unreals, Savages and Ultimates done yes? No incentive at all to do any content...is that why Party Finder is full every day of the week? If there's no incentive at all how can this be the case hm?

So tell us, what you do so engaging and relaxing in IS thats not done in 5 minutes. I would love to get some ideas and possibly more content out of IS. Because I would rather relax with some youtube videos about traveling, that looking at digital pixels of sheep that dont even interact with me.

Recent bugs (none gamebreaking might I add), broken MB economy (server dependant from what I've seen though the term broken isn't exactly clear), outdated visuals...this one is interesting. To me there's no such thing as "outdated" visuals. Anything can look good as the style is the important factor (again my opinion. And lastly archaic systems such as what?

I guess you were not watching FF lately right? Because I dunno, for example if my character dodged my Ley Lines because I had too many buffs, I would see that as gamebreaking for sure. For you maybe its nothing, because you will never see that many buffs.

Even tho I dont care about visuals, those in FF just are. They are in desperate need of shading, which we hopefully get in FF7. Clipping hairs/tails is something we just need to get used to

With SHB you can argue that the pandemic kind of got in the way of stuff. Which it did. But eventually they got back on track.
Square insists FF16 isn't getting in the way of 14's development.

We're actually having more time between patches too, we should have a similar amount of work brought out.

Caveat to consider: they're working on content that will be released in the future, which likely requires a lot more work to be done than the features we've seen now.

It's likely female Hrothgar and the graphical upgrade that is taking their time. Remember, it's not just characters getting a graphical upgrade in all likelihood, but EVERYTHING in the game, including old dungeons. That's going to require almost all hands on deck.

You somehow forgot Bozja back in Shadowbringers.
But I guess you're too busy hating on Endwalker and Hildibrand to remember.

I hope you realize you are actually helping his point here, considering Bozja was released in 5.2 and gave us a whole outside zone with fates and stuff. By comparison, 6.2 gave us island sanctuary aka mammet spreadsheet simulator.

No, Bozja was added in 5.35.

IS is a nice location to just go and be somewhere with myself and my thoughts. Has nothing to do with content. Folks I know spend most of their days in there, what they're doing exactly all the time I can't say. Really don't get your point.

Next you definition of game reading is much different I see. Also is that whole "you will never see that many buffs" some sort of odd jab at me or something? Lol

Next uhh what does ff7 have to do with ff14?

Also yeah Rolder50 Bozja was definitely not 5.2. Best not to spread misinfo there to try n prove a point

Sounds like a few people are asking for a mandatory log in every day to grind currency or fall behind system, you know one of the things people complained most about in WoW. No MMO has content that is new and fresh that occupies every minute of every players times between patches or expansions, it's just the nature of the genre. Content always takes longer to create than to consume.

How?
Because he said 4.25 Stormblood. Bozja is 5.35 Shadowbringers, which comes AFTER Stormblood.
His typing suggests we haven't gotten a Relic Zone Since Stormblood, which is 100% False.

[Chasingstars]

I can't tell if the OP is serious or simply wrote a troll post. As a lot of their talking points about what was wrong with this patch just make think "Yes, thats how it was done last time, and?"

Well I woopsed the patch number but no matter considering we already know we aren't getting an Relic Zone this expansion anyway. And I re-read the post and I don't see how you could interpret it as "since Stormblood". I think the point was more that they were able to do relic zones multiple expansions ago when they would presumably have less resources to work with.
