Yoshi-P lied

[SilversLyu]

I swear he got more attention from people that hate him than people that love him. And both of them are equally weird. Not even counting the "ever since he started working on FFXVI, things have changed....... I hate that game........."

Y'all should take a break, really.

Not really, the problem is people tend to go to extremes. Why cant you praise him and at the same time see the flaws for what they are? The denial in the community is astonishing. Or are you implying debatting is worthless in a forum, well then I dont know what to say. "Y'all should take a break, really", dont need to project tho.

This is just internet being internet, you're either on side of the extreme or the other. In the end, Yoshi is great guy, but has flaws just like everyone. Problem is that some people have the need to white knight him to make him seem perfect, same goes for FFXIV - I saw some people say that "yeah, even performance mode has some stutters, but back in ma' day, we were grateful for 20-30fps". People just really like to take sides and amp it to the extreme.

I would also add, a lot of people rush through new content and don't take their time with it to fully enjoy it, same way when people are hungry they scarf down food instead of taking the time to smell, taste and savor every bite slowly. That's how I play this game when experiencing new content, I take my time with it and feel satisfied, if I rushed through it I probably would feel agitated...

He is a great agent for PR.
I am never going to single out an individual that works for a company because at the end of the day, they're just some rando working for a paycheque but for that same reason I would advice against showering them with platitudes like how much of a great person they are because - again - at the end of the day, they're just some rando working for a paycheque.

However: the rest of the devs as well as Square as a whole are all relatively "faceless", thus making it difficult for people to have any direction of their complaints/issues and so yoship will always end up taking the brunt of that. Not much can be done unless they trot out a few other targets for people to shower in love and/or rotten tomatoes.

OK, but you can experience all the new content in a few hours at a leisurely pace.

I feel like QA was lacking this expansion.

I don't think we had as many bugs/unbalancing in HW, SB, ShB that we had in EW.
TOP had 2 auto attack related bugs, Anabeisos had the Caloric bug, Abyssos was a snoozefest and unbalanced mess.

And we had a 2 week delay between patches.

The Job design was lacking, the rewards are lacking, the content is lacking the shop is getting mounts and glam...
I enjoy this game but I'll agree that we get more and more content cut.

So far I've only been enjoying the raids, It's the first time I'm only logging to raid.

They didn't always just release 1 dungeon and 1 trial every new content.

Before they released way more than that, you can enjoy the content at a leisurely pace but the content has gotten smaller every expansion, you want players that are hungry for content to go at a frugal pace when the supplier is supplying less and less content?

[Derio]

EW IMO is the worst expansion outside of 6.0 and even 6.0 MSQ pacing was somewhat questionable. Post launch content outside of ultimates was extremely lackluster. Job balance was done poorly and you can literally see the lack of effort with the relic quest.

Criterion dungeons done poorly.
Island sanctuary done poorly.
Relic done poorly.
So many bugs in every patch resulting in every patch done poorly.

Its almost like FFXVI is the escape until FFXIV can get its act together.

The question we are asking is: will they make an effort and add more pve content in 7.0 patchs, a return to the amount of pve content of the stormblood expansion had would be an ideal patch cycle,
just given how poor endwalker pve is I have big doubts that the cycles will change for 7.0, despite the fact that they have finally finished FF16 and will be able to recover some of the staff.

but currently I really hope that the content of 7.0 will be richer,otherwise the motivation to play it will not be there,
Endwalker was the extension of boredom so if the next one is of the same ilk there is no reason to play it.

. Crystalline Conflict was a cool attempt to revive PvP, but their refusal to add a casual mode or ranked mode where you can queue with friends has already resulted in this being dead too..

So... I actually joined a custom pvp team and related discord Where you sign up to fight other team. Yes, we all are on voice. The pressure l felt from that even surpassed diamond/crystal games l have been in. You can be steam rolled So hard from coordinated attacks. They are probably afraid of hardcore pvp sweats forms party to roll over casual who plays alone. I guess some queue system can be used to ensure premade matches against premade. Yes... The current system where solo queue only is a lazy solution to that problem
