7.0 copium has got to stop

[Themarvin]

Seriously, I don't even know where people get the idea that 7.0 is going to fix or even partially fix the problems with this game, it's not just one or two people, it's like the majority of the playerbase.

If you don't like the game at all, unironically save yourself the money and quit now because at this point this game is irredeemable. There's literally no point in waiting for 7.0 to fix anything. Spoiler: they won't. Only reason to stick to this game is for secondary, non-game purposes.

Let me just spoil the ending for all of you: FF14 is going to start failing, slowly, Square Enix is going to put this on maintenance mode in like 8.0 or 9.0 or something, maybe they'll try to revitalize it but fail.

CBU3 has like literally no idea how to make interesting progression systems, there is not a single exploratory content or horizontal content that succeeded with the entire playerbase. They just don't know how. They also fired some devs and leads who disagreed with the vision of the game (rumor), clearly they're not open to feedback either. So don't huff the copium really, no need to wait for 7.0. It's already over.

Well I wont take this serious of what you are writing, with a character from July 2023, then you barely know the game at all.

You realize forum join dates aren't the same as game join dates?

Love how they've already preemptively killed 8.0 copium

More than 2 years ago the cope was that 7.0 would fix the game. The reality is that it has damaged it beyond repair. Design philosophies and content cycles are calcified and will never change, and the devs refuse to listen to any feedback while hiring special HR teams to write the story in an airtight bubble that doesn't offend any sensibilities. I hope that the next MMO, FF17, will have a better fate. I really feel like FF14 deserved better than what it got. Mors certa, hora incerta o7

Such a prescient thread!
