Cancel your Dawntrail pre-orders

[Doublejho]

I'm debating buying it. I won't pre-order it because only a complete idiot pre-orders digital products. It's not like they're going to run out of stock. But the promise of another exploration zone like Eureka and Bozja still has me interested, despite the job changes being absolute dogwater and the overall game direction showing no signs of improvement whatsoever.

i'd just like to point out that they have actually ran out of codes for a previous expansion

They said several months ago that there won't be any significant changes to jobs and will mostly be just upgrades. If you were still hoping otherwise, you're probably the type of person that leaves their ice cream on the counter for hours and expects it to still be cold when you go to eat it.

if there's supposed to be no significant changes then why did they significantly change mine? i was really hoping that there wouldn't be changes and i got them, unfortunately it feels like my ice cream melted in the freezer, in this case

I believe it was a mistranslation in the interview. What Yoshi-P actually said is there will be no job improvements, just downgrades.

And lose my earring for glamour? No thanks. Already sad I can't ever get the Menphina earring.

they are listening to us whining about no job identity

I bought an extra no worries my friend

Why do you guys post stuff like this lol?
You've always said "unsub if you're not happy" now when people say to do so you're being malicious like this? very weird.

I am a big fan of the "vote with your wallet" mentality, as it's the only thing that gets SE's attention.

I am usually super empathetic toward the dev team having been here so long, but the job changes feel absolutely minimal and underwhelming and "well we focused on graphical updates this time" is not a good enough response to me. The graphical updates should have been a separate project team that was fully funded, while the main team worked on a FULL expansion.

I am separating out the dev team and the corporation as a whole though, Square Enix continues to take money from the FFXIV cash cow and invest it into other projects that are by and large failing. We have evidence of this in YOUR very own stakeholder/investor calls.

Stop making the FFXIV dev team spread themselves thin having to prioritize a graphical update, versus the content we usually get in an expansion.

It is incredibly underwhelming we're going to have to wait until 8.0 to get job identity back when we've been providing that feedback consistently for years.

Square, invest the majority of my sub dollars in this game.

So true. wasting ff14 money on nfts and garbage like forspoken instead of this game makes me very annoyed

Because it's ragebait

The general XIV community is a cult, and Yoshi P, without his consent, has been pushed into being their figurehead. Of course anything that goes against the idea of "my game is perfect" is going to upset people. It's crazy. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I genuinely believe the XIV community is the most toxic community I've ever been a part of.
