The reason FFXIV is lacking content is because of casualization.

[CStrife912]

You literally have no basis for this crap that you're spouting. Could you please actually show some proof of this being the case in interviews or news articles beside the most well known thing that the HW team wrote FFXVI and Soken composing its music and Koji doing the NA translation..


positions that still have no meaning to affecting the content of FFXIV I keep saying but nobody wants to listen.

Im glad you remain a voice of reason with a select few others on here. There is no basis for that statement, EW to now has more content variety then Shadowbringers to 5.3 that is a fact. The only difference is replacing exploration for deep dungeon....the only other fact remains they need to nail longevity on this content. We are due 2 more variant/criterions and an Island Sanctuary expansion...these need to hit home. Also people are pinning FF16 cause it's being shown more...almost like it's the media tour/marketing push for its upcoming release lol. If there was to be an issue with workforce it would of reared its head in SB/ShB but it did not so move along people saying FF16 took things away. Funny when from July to next year expansion release we are going to get a ton of media push for FF14. My main gripe is people using the 'spare no expense' and going well its not showing is it....the upgrading of NA servers seems like an expense to me...money goes to all aspects of the game not just content.

Yes, I voiced opinions about it a decade and a half ago and I will continue to.

I think exclusives are garbage

It may be garbage but its how the industry has probably remained as it is...I could imagine if everything was under one umbrella complacency would set in. Not going to say competition and innovation haven't happened they have in some degree but exclusives make money simple as that. Why would a console maker who owns studios put their product on something else that isn't there own? They want to shift hardware just as much as software.
