Thoughts on the Yoshi P AMA?

[Heavenchild]

If anyone was waiting for the devs to do what they specifically said from day one they weren't going to do that is definitely on them and not the devs.

It was wrong from the dev's to release unfinished races in the first place, in my opinion. Or at least wrong not to prioritise them to fix this soon. Aura also have special head features and unique hair that needed adjustment. But they could wear and use everything normally when they came with Heavensward.

Sometimes people say that:
If FF16 would have such a negative impact on FF14 we must had experienced this much earlier! But didn't we?

Stormblood was the last expansion where we got a really full package. MSQ, huge Eureka with relic weapon and armour(!) and Baldesions arsenal, heaven on high, trial series, Doman enclave, raids, and so on.

But it slowly became less and less stuff and it began before Corona.

Just a little thing..., but for example we didn't get a single new looped dance since SHBs dwarf beasttribe. On the other side rp venues exploded and people used dance mods. There are a lot of videos on YT with dancing FFXIV characters. It's clear that people want some more dances. But they decided to release 0 ones in over 2 years.

Long story short. I really love this game but the last 2 years hurt a lot. MSQ was fine. The rest felt unfinished or like 'not the best idea'.

I really hope that DT can do better. But when I see Yoshi's answers... I struggle. Maybe I am pessimistic but all I read is: No, no, no, later, later, later,...

Hope dies last?

(Dear Yoshi P., please remember what you said in the past about an MMO would be like ruling a country. And think of all your already existing long time players. Don't focus too much on bringing more people to the country.)
