Endwalker is the lowest point of this game since 1.0

[Thurmnmurmn]

Notice how nearly everyone who praises Endwalker only does so for the story. What about content? You know, gameplay? Like, in a video game?

Final Fantasy XIV is not a Netflix show. It’s a video game. At this point I’m only subscribed to make adult content and annoy people. It’s not a good video game at this point. The story was pretty banger, but not worth a monthly sub after it’s done.

Considering the story is the main selling point of the game, that would be why you see it being brought up more often. Dismissing that is disingenuous when talking about the game.

That being said, yeah the end game content this expansion has been lacking. A ton of updates for the new player experience though.

The story being the main selling point is nothing but a selfmade cope from the playerbase.

Each patch costs $65 in subscription fees over its five-month duration. We get roughly two hours of story content per patch. While Endwalker's MSRP might be earned, its subscription cost is not, so the dismissal is fair. It would be better if this game did not have a subscription.

I do not have a huge problem with Endwalker, is not perfect, has issues that should be resolved (likely will never be) but I log on every day still and enjoy it, so I think its worth the less than 50 cents a day that I pay to play.

it would be better if they handed out caramel sundaes for free too, but I am not holding my breath expecting that.

Okay then, explains why I’m currently having way more fun in ESO with lore bits, exploration and adventure.
Because in FFXIV so far, there is literally 0 exploration or sense of adventure. It’s way too railroaded, so many parts of the map are not used and either a background for 2mins of MSQ/Tribe dailies or FATE grind (which seems to be only done the first weeks of an expansion, then forgotten).

It’s a pity because the game has really good maps, if only they were used for something.
