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

[Melorie]

Fine, I see your point. Although once you start to see more of aveyond and awesomejr you'll hopefully start to realize that some of the things they say are very questionable in terms of useful feedback anyway but whatever

I mean the thread itself might be done by sour people that need to take a break, but I do feel like some of the complaints have a place to be discussed.

I also have the feeling that there is less and less to do and that the patch cycles become longer and longer. The last patch was late. It was not 3.5 month. It was more about 4 month. So 1 month longer then in the past.

The only thing that needs time in 6.3 is to grind the pvp rewards. But for me this random pvp is not much fun. Starting with the salty people who spam 'good game', when the match don't go well. My friends also say that they loose over 80% of all matches, if they don't play tank.
Besides the waiting time from duty pop until the match really starts is somehow frustrating at some point.

I am aware that it takes much more time to produce content, than it takes time to play it. But in the end..., there remains this feeling, that we have less and less new things to do. Maybe they are too busy with FF16, I don't know. But somehow SE doesn't give enough ressources for FF14. There are so many issues in this game that get no fix or rework (over lots of years). And less and less new content. I really wonder why SE treats it's moneymaker game so bad.

They should overthink this. Longtimeplayer-people won't wait forever. And also all the new players will reach the point of 'all (personal interested things) done'.

If we go by the same estimates as the last patch cycle, 6.35 isn't until March the 7th and 6.4 will not be until May 30th. This is defensible how?

If I've learned anything from these forums its that a thing doesn't need to be defensible for it to be defended. Especially so if it means protecting the honor of multi-dollar companies.

I mean seriously, you'd think there'd be ideas or changes that people could agree on, but sometimes I wonder if people are just being contrarians for the sake of it.

Longer and longer between patches, but somehow with less and less stuff in each one. I 'member back in Stormblood when we got a trial series, an exploratory zone, AND a new deep dungeon! These days we're lucky to get one of those things.

This is what we call a downward trend.

It's interesting that folks complain about the mold not being broken but Island Sanctuary and Variant/Criterion is very much just that. 2 completely new pieces of content. Them being good or bad withstanding, they ARE mold breaking so let not act like it's 100% the same old same old.

I keep seeing folks say Sanctuary was a waste yet I see people doing that content everyday, and I'd bet more participate in that than Ultimate. So in reality was it truly a waste of resources? Especially when it can be updated Indefinitely down the road to be better?

As for feedback yes there for sure are clear signs of bad feedback. Things like "the devs suck and need to resign. They're clueless n don't know what they're doing" is a perfect example we've seen here many times. Throwing around insults to them n such also falls under that umbrella. That's why the term CONSTRUCTIVE criticism exists. People "analyzing" criticism are often trying to help yall out but we get written off as "whiteknights n gatekeepers" when that's not the case at all.



Also side thing. It's odd seeing people dislike the formula being the same every patch yet getting upset when the formula isn't the same as a past patch (ie a new Eureka style zone in EW).

Yes, but both feels somehow incomplete.

The rewards of that new dungeon typ are not worth to do this content more than once finished. You just could try to farm the glam to sell it, but that's not really fun.

Island Sanctuary is cool but feels also incomplete. I really like that island, but it's not much to do. You make the plans for 1 or 2 weeks and that's it, in the long run. I collected so much island currency before 6.3 that I had enough to buy also all new items. So the new Island content was just a little bit of waiting or grinding (to get the new outfits) for a lot of people.
And to be honest, I was disappointed, that this individual customizable Island looks nearly the same for everyone.

Don't get me wrong. I like this content. But at the moment both are not much to do in the long run. Maybe they add something in the future that will change this. I hope so. : )

Euphrosyne has spectacle, but it kinda feels... soulless? I'm not sure how to describe it. Compared to Ivalice and Nier so far it just seems plain to me. I don't think I'm going to look back on my time spent in Aglaia/Euphrosyne a few years from now fondly like I do with Ridorana, Orbonne, Puppet's Bunker and Paradigm's Breach. It's not forgettable or bad by any means, but I didn't find it exceptional either. I hope the last raid salvages it, though.

I am aware we have Orthos dropping in around 2-3 weeks from now, but I'm not holding my breath for it to be honest. I need more info before I cast any judgments on it.

[Heavenchild]

I also felt like Euphrosyne is easier than Aglaia. The new alliance raids are cool, but not so varied like for example the SB once. I like them. But they don't feel so well designed than the old ones.

The music of the new ones is really great and I love it.

Idk why u guys complaining it a odd patch it made for catch up that is all we been doing the same formula since 2.0 only different take one more month for them to release stuff. If u have nothing to do go play a other game.
