Current state of ffxiv

Have you considered that after playing the same game for 10ish years you might just might be...done? Frankly, I'm surprised I've gotten 11 years out of the game. Usually I can only play a game for a month before I have to put it down, no matter how entertaining it might be. Might just be time to pack it up and move on.

Can't speak for others, but personally - I am nowhere near done playing FF14. I love this game, I enjoy the gameplay, the lore, the world, to the point where i sometimes just log in and walk around just because. Been playing since 2.0 too, with a little hiatus during Endwalker.

What currently sours this whole experience, for me, is the wait for content that is not "room with boss", that is actually engaging and makes use of the max level combat kit, and the way classes changed from Shadowbringers to now.

If the quality of content and the game had stayed the same as it always was, I would be nowhere near done. There are things I was planning to do in game. But DT introduced changes I can't accept and it took away the enjoyment I felt just one patch ago.

No. For some sure, but to many its not the Skinner meme, the game just changed, the people in it and how they make duties and everything.

Just compare any ARR/HW trailer to the new ones. We're talking 6-8 min vs 3 lol

Somehow they managed to make the game larger AND smaller at the same time *sigh*

Potentially, though I'd argue it's mostly SE just phoning it in lately.

For me the issue is the potential for the game is clearly there; they could easily provide good content. The game isn't so far gone it's unredeemable. I still love the game, but SE would rather put all their money into their failing projects instead of bolster this one and it's starting to show. FFXIV feels like it's pretty close to just going on maintenance mode.

They've also got system(s) baked into the game now that basically punish you for leaving long term. Housing is the primary one and not one they seem keen on resolving.

YoshiP telling folks to play other games is just a cop out for their lack of content. He'd change his tune if everyone actually unsubbed to play other games.

I mean, 20 years later I am still playing FFXI and enjoying it far more than I am FFXIV. And that game is literally on maintenance mode lol
