FFXIV's Future

Blue Protocol for the weebs

I find myself wondering just what that word is supposed to mean. Playing a Japanese game makes you a "weeb"?

Seriously..?

I find myself wondering just what that word is supposed to mean. Playing a Japanese game makes you a "weeb"?

Seriously..?

Super edgy anime style with super edgy story.
Focus on boob jiggle + sexualized female characters to attract coomers.

So no, playing a japanese game doesn’t make you a weeb, depends on what you play though.

I do not see Dark Souls/Elden Ring or even Yakuza as weeb games.

Any other question ?

Do any of those games even actually "Innovate" or are they just exciting because "new toy"?

Its not shocking that something new will turn heads, but the real test and question is, will it last long enough to build a large enough community and sustain itself?

Palia focuses on community, housing, gathering, hunting and chill activities. Much less combat. I do not know any MMO with that focus in mind, some have a few of those features but they’re half baked or badly implemented.

Pax Dei is action combat with focus on community and player generated content (sandbox game, no quests so I imagine a lot of exploration going on there). Will see how it goes.

Ashes of Creation is action combat too, where you can have a main and secondary class like good ol’ Guild Wars 1. Lots of possibilities there, especially with outdoor content and exploration.

I’m mainly saying SE will need to innovate to retain players because a lot of MMOs are coming out in the near future and yes will be both more dynamic gameplay-wise and with better graphics. Just need 1 to succeed and drain players from FF, WoW, GW2 and all the rest.

FFXIV Does all of those things that Palia does. Probly the 1 edge it has is probly Housing.

Pax Dei sounds cute, but whos knows how long that might last

Ashes I never had an interest in, and I hear mixed things

Many MMOs have come out, and just cause they have these things dont really mean they will be successful, or take away FFXIVs playerbase.
Naturally people will check them out..and its not like you cant play more then 1 MMO
