This live letter was a massive disappointment

The only real niche that FF14 has right now is that it's probably one of the best social MMOs out on the market.

The best combination is to use FFXIV as a chatroom or like Second Life while playing other games. It’s not something you actively play, just something you use to find people to play other games with. Player-generated content has become the “killer feature” of FFXIV that sets it apart from everything else. Second Life and VRChat are hard to use in comparison.

Sad to see a $13/month MMO become akin to a free-to-play chatroom, but people love it, so just invest in a second monitor or Switch and enjoy what you can. Because, on the bright side, FFXIV lets you play games that are far, far better than it, and we only have Yoshida to thank for that.

Fairy glamour for SCH is music to my ears.

Bonus points if we get obsidian carbuncle as an option.

Otherwise, as per usual, I will be reserving judgement until I complete the patch.

just looked meh

I didn't like that you only need 1 of a furniture item to place as many copies as you want in the IS. I know that this is very minor but did decorating the island need to be that easy? For some players, having to work for the gil to buy each item could give them something to do for a while.
As someone who enjoys selling furniture in the marketboard, that's kind of a shame.

These forums are beyond screwed. What the hell were y'all expecting?

YoshiP to give us an official dogeza with tears in his eyes. For him to yield control of FFXIV and leave its development to the forum. To immediately magically snap up an exploratory zone and implement it not even in 6.4 but next Tuesday without delay. For Endwalker to be rewritten so that the Ascians were right all along and get their world back. For Garlemald to be restored entirely. For Kaiten to make its triumphant return and jobs to almost entirely return to Stormblood design. For Loporrits to be deleted from the game and for Housing Demolition to be scrapped entirely. For everyone who ever visited an ingame nightclub to be permanently banned.

No more modern glam (cringe!), but also no medieval armor glam (boring!) but also no flashy glam (childish and garish), but also no culturally-inspired glam (boring and derivative!)

Something like that, I reckon, to start with.

Oh yeah, no wood in cheesie burger. But I considered that self-evident.

[yoshikwalla]

I say we get more burgers with 4k resolution and 12,000 polygons.

But seriously, how have the forums gotten like this? Just the same group of people posting overly negative threads and arguing with people making positive ones, as if anything not overly critical of the game is "toxic positivity." These people can shove it.
