Is it time to Sunset FFXIV?

[Rinoa_353]

We are TWO AND A HALF MONTHS into 7.0 and you are already bringing out the “make an alt and play again or go play other games improvements are coming in 8.0” line

Do you hear yourselves, at the current rate of exponential shrinkage of the time between an expansion launch and people pulling out the “improvements in the next expansion” line people will be telling us to wait for 9.0 about 0.4 seconds after 8.0 launches

I dunno your playstyle but maybe try slowing down a bit? I know many people who rushed through the story and then complain they have nothing to do. I took my time and did all side quest before moving onto the next zone and it allowed me to enjoy the story more and also explore the zones more too. The improvements I talk about are more hardware related such as better graphics and more once PS4 support is dropped that is holding back the game. Maybe get into decorating your home and invite friends over or you don't have friends in the first place?

I don't think slowing down on the story is the answer when all we are getting for 4 and a half months is 4 bosses in square arenas. There was, at the very least a couple weeks worth of story, and a story that was so incredibly, horribly written and presented, that a whole lot of ppl who have been invested in this game's narrative since 2010, myself included, found themselves cutscene skipping for the first time. And then telling ppl to use a purposefully limited resource that only a small number of ppl have to fill the gaps and then resorting to an underhanded insult to cap it off speaks volumes on your own attitude.

It's really shady when you try to shift the blame away from the company who made a subpar product and onto the paying customers. It feels on the same level of critical thinking that we got with "Don't you guys have phones?".

I take ample time in games, my playthroughs are usually twice as long as the average player and I know how I want to experience it. Still, beyond the visual novel there's simply not much to do if you want combat.

Side quests can be interesting for lore but they're not this xpac. They're boring to play too. I played TWW and all the puzzles were refreshing.

And since the visual novel was pretty bad this time around...
At least there's still pvp.
