Zepla: Endwalker is the Worst FFXIV Expansion I have played

[Supersnow845]

This forums =/= "many"

These forums, reddit, most Facebook groups, twitter, stream chat, large discords

What constitutes enough evidence to say it’s genuinely a concern because I can’t think of a single channel that isn’t talking about this problem right now except maybe RP club chat

"yoshiP said you should go play other games in between patches"
Right, but that doesn't make the expansion any better



By the way for the people who cannot tolerate constructive criticism, Zepla has this to say later in the video:

https://youtu.be/p3fwXgcZvjQ?si=khTFAo2ED8Q_Zyty&t=1725

"I'm tired of hearing people say: 'well we don't want this game to just be a huge grind'. No one is saying that, stop jumping to this extreme"

"I'm seeing really unhealthy signs right now, and I think this lack of attention to the game from the devs and this hesitation to criticize the game is going to kill the game eventually."

I won't waste my time watching her opinion as I don't care what she thinks. I do find it amusing something like this comes along when she is less popular. Controversy fishing. Her opinion means nothing.

The forum's primary purpose is for players to provide feedback. If you're not fond of the premise of a particular thread, then there's any number of other threads that you could post in its stead - or create your own, if there's a particular subject you'd prefer to discuss instead.

That aside, whether you choose to take the original poster at her word or not is largely irrelevant I think...especially since there's been many other posters who have expressed concerns regarding the direction of the game, the inconsistencies in the tone and themes portrayed in the story and a lack of content with staying power.

This forum is straight up trolling. There hasn't been feedback here in over 5 years.

I think she’s known for FFXIV and since the game has nothing going on neither does she, so it does make sense she’s less popular as the game is sucking right now.

I have been playing since launch and continue to play it as often as I always have. I still love the game. The game does not suck. The game is very good. You are welcome to your misguided opinion. Be prepared for people like Zepla and other FFIXV "quitters" to come out of the woodwork when Dawntrail drops to suck every last dollar out of their viewers. Suddently FFXIV will be the best game in human history.

So their opinion is misguided because it’s not your opinion

If you are going to argue in bad faith at least pretend to hide it

You got it buddy. Only my opinion matters. Easy.

Damn 19 pages dedicated to a zepla video… suppose il watch it first to form a genuine reaction or opinion to it. I’m not quite sure what she thought would change in 6 months when the games patches are every 4 at the earliest for one thing…. Now as someone who is on a break where I just log in every now and then because I’m loading content to the bigger 6.5 drought. I agree with her views on exploration zones, relic wise I’m not really sure how changing steps from do fates X times to just run dungeons for tomes is in theory any different (for some steps not all)

MSQ is subjective and I think it comes across as a bigger low after a massive high. Personally I think it’s been ok, not the best but the way she says it’s lazy then dunking trials into it is a little harsh. Tartarus grand adventure and the omega quest sort of act as this expansions side story so cause trials didn’t cater to that they put them into MSQ this time, which I don’t think is an issue. I’m not liking her constant use of the lazy wording because if I wanted to be petty I could say her whole channel and content cycle is lazy design too. But seriously just because bosses became predictable isn’t lazy… the patches are a homage to FF4 the pieces were in front of you… the boss order was the same in that game it made absolute sense they were to follow it… I don’t see that as a bad thing in this one instance. She uses the weapon quest as comparison but if you were a FF7 fan then you knew all the bosses then as well so I think in this instance it’s some personal bias there.

In regards to island and variant/criterion there does need to be work to make more reasons to do them. With dawntrial looking to do another lifestyle content have it interconnect with the sanctuary. They are using variant as well actually create a reason to replay if your going this content route long term and deep dungeon they’ve commented more ways to enjoy it or use it. They just need to develop longevity and if they can nail it then it would fix a lot of issues especially if they tie longer grinds or relic to them.

Also can’t wait for people to check the Yoshi P announcing what the 2 new paid dlcs will be about for FF16 and them working on the PC port. The team is split oh no! It’s not like we have a massive team that can work on multiple projects or use outside contractors or other divisions within the company :P teasing aside Zep needs to stop saying she’s not doomsaying with titles like that especially and also the OP Gaius Titan alt I know some users say everyone who’s negative must be Titan… no they’re not but the ones who post threads often and with stiring in mind are and it’s obvious if your on the forums so much you’d know how obvious they make it lol

You are welcome to your fanboy thoughts too, but yeah, if the game does stop sucking and becomes good again they’ll sing praises. Why wouldn’t they? We all want it to be better. Except people like you who think it’s the perfect game and would rather see it crash and burn being this stale instead of improve.

She's spot on imo and her critique isn't even that bad. She prefaces every negative point with how much she loves the game to the point that it's a little annoying at times. But what she's saying the game needs to work on is 100% accurate.
Forum responses have been predictable. I only came here to see the inevitable head-in-the-sand response to a well known XIV content creator echoing the same critiques many of us here have been saying for months/years. Maybe next they will say that Zepla is a Titanman alt, lmao
