    The reason FFXIV is lacking content is because of casualization.

    As some others have pointed out, Endwalker has more content than Shadowbringers when we compare them directly. The issue is that this content is almost entirely focused on solo adventures that do not require involvement that goes beyond what a dungeon roulette might provide today.

    This, the community has wished it for years.

    The release of Eureka and Bozja have been met with almost overwhelming negative reaction on XIV-focused subreddits and forums. Diadem to Eureka to Bozja was there to give a type of content that gives the MMO moniker to FFXIV. This content was made because they saw World of Warcraft and Guild Wars 2 and knew they needed open world content. This is the absolute basis of a MMO before they introduced instanced content.

    But the community has pushed back heavily against it. Any form of pain point, a staple of MMO as you need to work for something to get it, is shunned and seen as a negative that needs to be excised. The entire philosophy behind trusts and duty support exists around this community philosophy: "do not force me to be involved with people if I don't want it.". And this ultimately ended up in our situation when you have very little to do if you're not a raider whereas we had Ishgardian Restoration and Bozja in ShB.

    Bozja was replaced with Criterion and Islands and PVP, but even then these are things you either do solo or can run them like dungeons unless you attempt the savage version. You can literally pretend everyone is a NPC and your experience will be the same. You cannot even run PVP as a group in matchmaking. Bozja was 2 open world content, 3 alliance raids and lost actions that were designed to work in tandem with your group to optimize damage, healing and other stuff. They made this stuff for group content and you had to opt-in in order to get it done fast enough. This is gone in Endwalker.

    I've seen messages about how it's because of FF16's development or the graphical update that it's this way, but it's honestly just a cope. The solution is not "more conten"t, because they will keep making non-repeatable, solo content even if they had an army of coders because the design philosophy is flawed to begin with. They removed the MMO out of the MMO and were praised and lavished by the kind of people who ultimately do not play the game for any extended period of time. That's all there is.

    This is what FFXIV is turning into. The perfect game for people who do not want to play the game. And the community that do want social and group interactions will be fragmented across discords to be able to team up.

    I mean this is what comes out from these people shilling for this company, they will tell you about how much they like to play other games and to deal with their real life work, families etc, while also praising that they dont have to play the game at all and can catch up in a single day, this is the "content" FFXIV has to offer, which basically is nothing

    This whole FF16 and graphical update thing is literally just people coping, the "graphical update" is literally what modders have been doing for years, it's nothing extraordinary, as for FF16, it's just another boring game that will not be on the level of XIV whatsoever but that they'd rather put all their money on instead of putting it on FFXIV at the same time leading to this absolute lack of content and the general boredom of a lot of people

    and the best part is that most of us don't even own a ps5 so we won't be able to play FF16 when it releases.

    Yoshi telling people to consider getting a PS5 feels eerily similar to Blizzard being like: "You guys have phones, right?"

    Except not really because that was a response made by disillusioned people whom decided to change their formula of focusing on the mobile market with an entirely different audience and here is people doing the oppossite when every FF game has always been released as a console exclusive game first and PC second yet people are whining that they arent being catered to first becuz PC mastuh rais

    Just wait until the next expansion arrives

    -Level max 100.
    -No new skills added to any job. (Players struggle with anxiety from pressing too many bottoms)
    -Remove stances completely. (So the tanks don't need to push a skill to actually get aggro)
    -Healers gets their second dot/dps skill removed (Some players wants a pure healing class so we remove all the damage/dots from their tools).
