What are you paying a subscription for?

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Major patches are every 8 months, Minor patches at the 4 month mark are still part of the Major patch or else the patch numbers would go to x.9 every expansion.

5 patches x 8 months would be 40 months between expansions, or almost 4 years. We are on a roughly 2 year expansion cycle. We only go to x.5. That's 5x4 or 20 months give or take.


Do you even play this game?

I've been subbed for 8 years. For the amount of hours that I have poured into this game, I've more than gotten my money's worth. I may not log in every single day anymore, but I still log in a couple times a week at least for content.

6.3 was in January and 6.4 was in May.

your 100% correct, and im wrong there.

Guess it just feels like 8 months

I'm the same, played for 9 years and it was only recently i hit the wall when it comes to staying interested enough

I still enjoy the currently existing content, like the raids and dungeons, from time to time, and I think frontline is pretty fun despite the awful player position update rate in this game. I've played for 9 years but haven't stayed subbed for the whole time. I've taken plenty of breaks, some of which were for long periods of time. FFXIV is a very decent game, and I come and go as I please.

Edit: Also bard bands are pretty fun to watch.

Edit 2: Also, I only pay the entry level subscription of $12.99 a month. I only have one char.

Currently? To do weeklies,send out subs, and hoard mgp. I hear the circus music of gold saucer in my dreams.

I have a mansion in a legacy server that’s keeping me hostage. Further more, I am a fan of the game, or rather was, so I want to stay paying for and support the 7.0 graphics changes but if the game doesn’t considerably change course in 7.0 then I will likely let the sub lapse.

It’s just unsustainable. Every expansion gets less complex and has less to do. Even the streamers who make a living out of this stuff can’t find reason to stay logged on.

What’s taking over now is video editors making funny videos and memes and altering the character models to make a story because there’s nothing worth of note in the game.

And anytime there is a slight drama the community blows it up into a huge deal to check and see if everyone is still around.
