where are we headed

but with XIV my biggest worry is they'll let us go above 100 the stats will continue to get out of hand and then they'll screw the pooch and level squish us down to XYZ then figure out how many expansions or areas they have to basically re-design level and difficulty wise.

yeah XIVS MSQ is there to help keep things aligned and hold your hand, which is something that might make this worry irrelevant.

but im just looking at everything and seeing some stuff playout the same song and dance we used to get and im just curious as to where the games headed, i love this game and i just don't want to see it get lobotomized.

Sadly, that's exactly what's going to happen. The level numbers are just going to keep rising and they'll just keep squishing down the numbers like they did for Endwalker. There won't be a drastic shakeup in gameplay or jobs, we're just going to get one small capstone ability added with each new expansion, because even though apparently 8.0 is supposed to be the job rework, I know for a fact it's not going to be some grand reinvention of the wheel like some people expect it to be.

Same, better to be pleasantly surprised than disappointed.
