Its only relic step 2!

One is the absolute, snail paced player, that hasnt touched ANYTHING current content or barely anything, yet they have been playing for years or have started recently, but they know that there is such a minuscule amount of content that they keep recycling the content over and over again, to delay reaching the "endgame" as much as possible, those people also barely play the game in general and would rather play other games, they will also keep telling you "yeah i havent reached IS" "yeah I havent reached variant dungeons" "Yeah I havent reached deep dungeons" showing literally everyone that they barely play the game at all, and that they are slowing consuming the content on purpose. Those people will also keep telling you (convincing themselves) that the game has endless content, and that you are the problem because you actually do play the game, and that you dont want to do the content that you already have done a bazillion times in the past.

I see zero problems with people playing at their own pace and on their own timetable.

The game starts at level 1..not level 90.

YOU may have the mindset that you have to rush to endgame..many others dont.

Let's just miss the point entirely, as per usual with you, not that I'm surprised

Not even going to bother actually, not worth the time

Oh I understood every word. All of it was wrong. This for example:

but they know that there is such a minuscule amount of content that they keep recycling the content over and over again, to delay reaching the "endgame" as much as possible,

is absolute rubbish.

due to resource limitations

That is what you say, when you need an excuse or don't wanna hire more devs to update engine or when you don't wanna say "no".

They already have nice zones, but they arent using them for open world activities much, because there is none besides hunting and treasure maps since 2.x.

For me, the good type of content is large scale, but has the option to fail e.g.

• Baldesion Arsenal type Raids (56 players)
• Diadem Emergency Mission (72 players)
• Deep Dungeon (for more than 4 players)

Emergency Mission doesn't exist anymore (how sad to be the dev of that little nice trial and then it gets removed for eternity lol...).
BA and Delubrum Raids are mostly gated behind Discord groups (at least EU/NA) and can't really be seen as accessible when you have to organize groups 2 weeks in advance, and additionally has very specific entry requirements and only 1time rewards...

Or have some deep dungeon content but largescale. Multiple groups starting on the same map, having to advance higher floors, reunite for boss fights, solve riddles, having to use cc... While being in speedcompetition with other servers. Add server wide buffs as reward for each stage unlocked and repeat the cycle every few months.

But you all know what we get, 1 dungeon and 1 trial and 5 mainstory quests and something for the roleplayers (not sure if they even still need stuff, they have mods for that).
And content that is either too easy or directly needs longterm/organized commitment.

Where is the casual to midcore largscale world content? Worldbosses that exist are a joke, because rezzes are unlimited.

But well, there are other games.

The time has come for a new director. YoshiP is too busy with FFXVI he forgot XIV.

- No proper relic grind (Shouldn't be this easy nor very difficult too)
- No relic zones
- Island sanctuary that's barely used for housing activities or even in general
- C&V Dungeons that are literally dead and unused in relic grind
- No clear direction regarding jobs. One job gets DoTs removed while the other retains it. One job gets cone AoE while others get their replaced with Full AoE circle.
- Homogenization of jobs
- Bosses of trials and raids following the same mechanics formula instead of feeling unique in their own way.
- Deep dungeon that's literally a reskin of the other two with barely any noticeable changes in gameplay.
- Remember the terrifying no-ears Hroth hairstyle? That's how disconnected the devs are from the playerbase, and they needed a full patch cycle to fix it.
- Viera & Hroth are still lacking a full support on helmets/hairstyles even after 4 years from release.

Sometimes I feel like the devs are trying to experiment on the game, and other times I feel they're just throwing anything at us because the fanboys will like it anyway.

He's too arrogant to ever step down. He has been given nothing but praise with no one major offering any criticisms to deter any of that.

Aside from marketing FF 16 is finished. You were saying??

'I see no problem with people playing at their own pace'

Isn't this what you fight about in every single thread?
You tell people that play at their own pace (that is faster than yours) that they are wrong and they shouldn't play the game in that way.

You are without a doubt the biggest hypocrite on these forums.

Go play the game at the snails pace that you enjoy, and have fun with that.
If people want more content, they are well within their rights to complain about the current state of the game.

That's why I didnt even bother to respond tbh, just the sheer hypocrisy of their posts lol, its just blah

I mean, you look at them on lalacheivements and just browse through the minions and mounts that they have not collected.. they legitimatly have not done ANYTHING in the game.

Luckily for everyone, Blocking your logs and achievements on lodestone doesn't stop people from taking a rough look at the content they do based on the minions/mounts obtained on a publicly available website.

And yet those people will always tell you that there is "endless content" and that you just chose not to do it, yet they themselves arent doing the content, so obviously there is always more lmao, duh, if you ignore it entirely then of course there is content to do because you literally are not doing it and are ignoring it
