/r/ffxivdiscussion: YoshiP comments on regrets over making FF14 too stress-free

[MonsutaMan]

Unless he wants a Soulsborne game, stressful MMO do not fly in the current era.

New World, Crowfall,Wildstar, etc....were all fairly new "Hardercore" MMO that either shutdown or declined rather quickly. Meanwhile, the MMO king has been running since the early 2000s and is fairly casual. Lost Ark, BDO, ESO, etc are all casual stress free MMO, unless you want to make it stressful with specific events.

Want a game that does not hold your hand? Go play XI lol.....bet you won't last a week haha.......

.......You kids think ya know what you want.........You don't want an harder FF game, trust me.
(Fighting Maat in the early 2000s or you can't level anymore.....)

Idk, I'd say modern XI is pretty hand holdy nowadays. What with the Trusts from RoE and all.

I mean, sure it's still way less hand holdy than XIV, but I mean... Rhapsodies gives explicit quest direction most of the time.

Back in my day, by cracky, you had to use context clues to remember which NPC or location was being referred to, and then you had to do some guess work! And by that, I mean got to FFXIallakhazam or FFXIclopedia and see if someone had the answer/progress posted up yet.

You know it doesn't have to be 0 or 100 right? You can have a middle ground. Using YoshiP's example of a side scroller... FFXIV feels like a Super Mario World game where there are no pits, no enemies, and no hazards. It's just a hallway to the end of the level. Introducing holes, hazards, and enemies does not automatically mean Kaizo Mario. No one is asking for Kaizo Mario.
