Zepla: Endwalker is the Worst FFXIV Expansion I have played

[Rolder50]

I have to wonder what the devs are doing with the extra time between patches, extra income from more subs and mogstations items, and all of that. Because it sure isn't going into creating things for players to do. Knowing SE, probably funneling the money into pits like Forspoken or whatever stupid crypto stuff they are up to these days.

Perhaps it's time for more content to not be locked behind the completion of the MSQ's? Furthermore a new starting point could be introduced so new players can choose to skip what exists already and go back to it later if they so choose.

I personally don't see much point in new players pushing for less content because they have 'too much to do' when they deliberately go out of their way to try out a game with ongoing development that has existed for roughly a decade already.

Well, if we want to pull out tinfoil hat theories...

They apparently announced FF16 will have 2 paid DLCs

They're thinking about giving Chronotrigger FF6, and FF9 the remake treatment.

A tiny amount of consideration has been given to finally porting DQX outside of Japan

We'll have to see if anything interesting appears at the Tokyo Games Show. Japanese publishers and developers love using it to announce new things.
