Dawntrail's mediatour dungeon was already cleared without healers.

I'd suggest starting a new thread with "#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE" as the thread title to better collect information about this, maybe include a discord in the future, garner more support and more attention. Naturally, you also want to move it to other places. Reddit, make daily #FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE posts on Twitter, etc.

I'll make the thread myself, but I feel it'd be more apt for Gemina to start it since it's her hashtag. If you don't want to, though, I'll do it.

At this point the devs may as well just give healers 4-5 healing abilities and the rest be dps abilities. Just go all in and make green support rather than healer.

When game designers listen to loud streamers and clowns who follow them instead of the people that work on their team, with years of experience.

This. It's obvious they ride the streamers and that's whom they really listen to; and there's plenty of evidence that's partly why ffxiv's in the situation it's in today. "Give me more ultimates per expansion and make warrior not be worthless." Square enix got some issues when it comes to disecting feedback.

One journalist asked Yoshida if he's willing to change the content formula to make the game less stale. He gave the same answer he's given for the last decade, that there's no plans to change things any time soon and it's easier for the developers this way. My sinking heart already reached rock bottom a long time ago. Streamlined formulaic Yoshida style go brrrr

''Not worthless'' when they turned it into the best job in the entire game with the best version of every single cooldown in its role and not be taxed on anything.
Warrior is overpowered. Get this idea out of your head that we're still in the first tier. It's been clearing ultimates without healers and still was receiving buffs just because it did 4% less dps.
Now it's the default pick for every form of content. It's the single most problematic job in the entire fucking game.

I'm on it. I'll have it up here in a few minutes. Thank you for the suggestion.

Embarrassing design choices.

I'm just laughing waiting for the 7.2 live letter where he'll go "we apologize we could only work on half the jobs for this patch, the other half will be in 7.3." And let me remind you 7.3 is decemer 2025, but most likely january/february 2026
7.2 itself isn't much closer either, 7.2 is literally 1 full calendar year away from now.

Did they just literally cover their ears for 4 years of endwalker? Why is it only now that the new expansion's going to come out that they're "planning" on making changes?

Bold to assume they won't just kick the can further down the road when they reveal 7.2. Remember when Yoshida said viera and hrothgar hat compatibility, viera males, and hrothgar females would all be added during Shadowbringers?

I did just check, you don't get the adventurer in need bonus, but you do get the regular daily bonus, so it's totally possible to not run healers in roulette content... but you'll probably have to have at least 1 for trials/normal raid and probably 3 for alliance

I have done some healerless normal raid/trial roulette with my FC a few times, it's fun. You need to be lucky though because some duties require healers. For lv90 dungeon/expert roulette (or limited levelling roulette with a high level party) though it's very easy to play healerless, often easier than without.
