Why Eureka, Bozja (open world part), FATEs, dungeons are all so boring

[FenyxRising]

I was there. I did it. I was good at it. It still sucked and it still wasn't fun. It's a junk filler button that some people hold up as the pinnacle of technical mastery because you had to... remember to press a button to switch modes. Are you forgetting you're playing a game where fights are tightly choreographed? There was never any complexity in it that wasn't your party doing stupid things.

We're supposed to believe you were good at it without you showing us a single on-patch Savage kill in any expansion ? Hmm ?

Anyone can say "I was good at it". Where's the evidence ?

thank u, next

I mean, there is truth to this statement. The structure of content hasn't actually changed that much, the difference was back in expansions like Stormblood was that we were willing to let the design of things like dungeons slide because the jobs were simply more fun to play. They were a sandbox for us to use our kits in, and now that job design is severely lacking in personality or depth, the faults of both content design and jobs become more apparent.

Thank you, that's basically what I'm saying. Also Stormblood actually had really boring jobs too, like Paladin, but the fun jobs in Stormblood like Astrologian is what carried it, now every job is as boring as ARR Paladin, maybe except BLM.

It's somewhere in the pile under yours.

Like, we're talking about something that was removed, what, seven-eight years ago? Come on. It's not like we're talking about bleeding edge parsing, a world of which I will happily admit I know only what I've learned in passing. We're talking about basic ability usage from the prehistoric era.
