Out of touch? PLL

These nevertheless still count as casual activities whether you agree or not
These do not requires same amount of effort as Savage content
The number of casual actives clearly out number challenge activities
It has been over 10 years and they finally gives 24 men Savage a go
Just one patch there is no casual PVE don’t mean this game is not heavily design for casuals

The thing is, the state FF14 is at the moment they cannot afford to make a patch that dosn't give casuals something that keeps them occupied.Not when a patch takes like 5 months to make nowadays.
- Making a few hours worth of MSQ and Hildibrand+ a new dungeon that may or may not have a glam at all that is not a recolor is not enough.
- Custom Deliveries? It takes like 10 minutes at best on a weekly basis.
- Beast Tribes? Yay another 10 minute endeavor on a daily basis.
- Alliance Raid? 20minutes weekly because for some reason in 2024 they still think its a good idea to have 1 gear/week loot restriction on it. Not to mention what if a player dosn't care about FF11? At least with Endwalker alliance raid as easy as it was, it had a story that was interesting and it was connected to FF14. This is just Nier all over again. The story most likely be that we take the Goblet of Failure, travel to the coincidentally 11th shard and beat up a bad guy for being bad, sprinkle a bunch of memberberries and thats it.

You cannot expect players to be satisfied with this much, its awful by default and timegating isn't exactly helping. I would gear up my alt jobs but guess what, tomestone cap.
It would not be so bad if most players didnt had to use up their backlogs at first during covid and then during Endwalker, but they had to.
The content is dry for years now at this point. Anyone who wanted something from older content most likely already got it and they are not going to collect some random old relic they dont want or aim for necromancer, just to have a goal.

These feel so useless because you can level up every crafter/gatherer very fast even if you are turbo casual. So you get to see bits of a quest you will forget about in a couple of weeks. Amazing content.

Tell me about it, i already have every combat and crafter/gatherer job at 100. Cant wait until they release Beast Tribes and custom deliveries so i can level my jobs faster. Oh wait.

This is a problem FF14 has in general. By the time they release an easier alternative to the grind, its always timegated and way too late.

-Dungeon Gear and Alliance gear? Lets put it like 15 Item level lower than whatever most people have. It will work flawlessly, lets make sure that the dungeon gear is also not dyeable and just a recolor from Heavensward for extra happiness. Oh people gonna love it running it like 25 times a month because Extreme Roulettes are so diverse.
-Beast Tribe for leveling? Lets put it in the game 1 - 1.5 years after the release of an expansion when even little Timmy with 1 hour a day playtime is already on 100 with every job for almost a month.
-Beast Tribes for crafters/gatherers? How about 5-10 months of waiting beforehand, cant go too fast dont wanna remove the joy of leveling via crafting and handing in the same items to an npc.
-Relic weapon? Lets make it so that its 5 item level lower than the tomestone weapon for the entirety of the expansion except the last patch where its 5 IL higher so you must go through all of it.

Properly rewarding time and effort? Pfft, whats that? Lets put Honey B. Lovely as a store mount, put an obviously short hairstyle that we conveniently picked as a winner from 50 long hairstlye from a competition, an orchestrion scroll with a remix of dawntrail battle theme song version 3.2, a pink Llama mount and materia for a savage difficulty content.
Normal mode? Are you serious? Take that weekly drop and sit in Limsa so low level players dont feel alone, or play some mahjong, now with extra voicelines smile.
