Out of touch? PLL

Considering that all of the mentioned can be done in a single day without skipping any cutscenes, OP isn't wrong

OP probably hasn't even completed all the casual content the game has available right now.

If so, I'd like to see their Ozma mount, all available relics from all expansions, all completed versions of the Elemental Eurekan armor, every single piece of the Bozjan sets upgraded, every triple triad card, maxed Trusts in every xpac, all deep dungeon mounts (can be done with team, don't need to do solo), every BLU spell and every challenge from Masked Carnival completed, every mount and gear set from Island Sanctuary, every rare animal from Island Sanctuary, all crafter/gatherers with at least 100K points in Ishgard Restoration, and I could keep going.

OP is asking for content they're probably never gonna finish, while not having finished a ton of stuff that's currently available. Either that, or I'll be damned if they can provide all the things I mentioned above.

What is it that you want then? A padded MSQ with a segment where you have to go kill 1000 A Hunt Marks to continue the story? An Alliance Raid that allows you to run it only once every month? Hildy quests being time gated to only one every week?? Do you people want all those BS retention mechanics shoved into XIV? Do you seriously think OP would even bother to complete any of those tasks??

This thread is insane.

Corrected a bit.... Because this is an insane amount of farm for a casual with little time and patience.

If anyone is ever complaining about not having content in XIV, especially different types of content, at all levels, be assured they have not done much content in XIV. They specifically want content that they are only interested in. Look at the lodestone of the people that are career complainers on the forums. You will immediately notice an alarming trend of people that barely even interface with most aspects of the game.

I physically don’t know how to explain to you guys that tacking on artificial pointless grinds to the functional end of life of a piece of content doesn’t constitute more content in most people’s eyes and going “but have you completed POTD solo blindfolded on AST using a DDR controller” just isn’t content to most people

For most people who enjoyed Bozja Bozja ends at dalriada, not 10/10/10 (and I have 10/10/10 so don’t even go there), same as eureka ends with BA , not all elemental armour Cassie, the speed belt and the optical hat (again I have all these I’m proving a point), IR ends with the completion of the firmament and its use as a levelling tool, not when you get the pterodactyl mount

And let’s go beyond that and say these pointless end of life grinds are content, EW still sucked at providing them, about the only one it had was that mount from IS that’s unlocked from FF and that you can’t even force, you basically have to AFK to let it fill itself over time

So dismissing lack of content criticism because of the tacked on end of life grind is bad by itself but then EW was also terrible at even providing that

And that’s from someone who’d rank pretty highly on the “I’ve done most of these weird pointless grinds anyway”

It's hilarious how some of you act angry that MSQ ends in 3 hours, but when presented with any of the grinds listed above that will never go away, and that you can do whenever you want at whatever pace you want, suddenly you don't have time.

This thread is insane.

Instead of asking for more content that can be done with minimal upfront investment (the actual definition of casual content, not difficulty) in addition to the midcore content (extremes are midcore, deal with it), we are saying that the devs hyperfocus on raiders when casuals for the longest time have not been clear what they want from this game. When raiders called EW mid, toxic casuals called them farming negativity because they liked the 6.0 story. Now we are in Endwalker 2 and the story sucks and toxic casuals are saying the same thing that was said in Endwalker.

The game should be fun for everyone and should be designed for people who actually want to play the game. Ask for MORE content and not content at expense of someone else, because you can't be bothered to put in the effort to do it.

Sometimes I wish they just gave us a relic weapon grind at the .1 patch and made it progress with every major patch afterwards. Nice grind for people to do and you get a cool weapon that can be relevant for each patch. Maybe not the BiS weapon or anything. Make it the best weapon you can get by the end of the expansion perhaps? Just something to do between patches for people who are looking for something to do that can also increase player power.

Even "savage" alliance turns out to be JUST ONE BOSS (with recycled models/mechanics). 95% this is yet another criterion like instance with materia reward.

Devs out of touch? You hear alliance you might think it's like 3 bosses in one instance separated by trash (it can be irrevelent, but still). No, this looks like oversized extreme ...

7.1 should drop bozja asap or it's going to be no content patch unless you are going to do ultimate (which is probably end of November lol)

[me, a person who plays everything from mega-casual to hardcore and everything in between]

I just want all the new content, of whatever level, to be good and fun. That was a problem during the Endwalker patches. I had fun with the Pandaemonium raids for the hardcore side of things. But the new casual content they added with Island Sanctuary wasn't very good or fun, and the second and third Alliance raids were notably lackluster with very boring mechanics even for casual content and pretty much everyone I've talked to hated the story. Midcore content? lmao, where?? Grind the EX trials for ugly mounts I don't want, apparently. EX trials may be midcore, but if that is the ONLY midcore thing to do all expansion, that hurts. I wanted something to do besides log in for raid night twice a week, and they gave me nothing.

For ages I've really wanted them to add proper hard modes for dungeons with a difficulty level akin to the stuff you encounter in the exploratory zones.

Higher difficulty that is not overly reliant on body checks and precise positioning like what Criterion offered would be the optimal middle ground to me IMO. Something that is easy enough to jump into without reading guides, but still difficult enough to require you to have your brain turned on and make full use of your job's kit.
