Instead of censoring criticism of the Live Letter maybe actually build a good game

They even did it on NA Friday night which tells you everything you need to know about their priorities.

Where is the improved encounter design you promised? Why are you nerfing normal raids already before they even went live?

Why is the post-patch MSQ just an uninspired nostalgia bait from FF9? FF14 is really going to repeat 6.1-6.5 lmao.

Why is Cosmic Exploration just reused assets from the Moon?

Not mentioned: whether phantom jobs will be anything more than lost actions 2.0 aka logograms 3.0.

Not mentioned: whether Shades Triangle will be the same pointless FATE bumrushing

Not mentioned: improved encounter design

Not mentioned: whether Cosmic Exploration will just be Ishgardian Restoration 2.0

Not mentioned: new variant/criterion dungeons

Not mentioned: anything new that hasn't already been part of the 12-year long formula

I think that it was pretty clear that:

• Phantom Jobs are instead of Lost Actions and will likely have overlapping features or comparisons that can be drawn.
• Shades' Triangle is mostly using the Bozja format of FATEs and CEs and a CE raid at the end.
• Cosmic Exploration is Ishgard Restoration 2.0. They pretty much presented the same stuff feautre for feature if you analyze it enough.

Obviously they aren't going to word it the way you did.

I think there are plenty of new assets in Cosmic Exploration. In any case they will likely have to make a lot of newer ones for the other patches due to them being other planets.

It's funny how when a lot of the content in a patch is finally directed towards the casual audience that the raid community wants to cry about it.

Bullshit, where show me exactly where raider are crying about it? im a raider and let me tell you i will love the new content, good im not a fan of bozja 2.0 BECAUSE i liked eureka more and hoped it would more go in this direction, but i will still love and enjoy everything.

You have to understand, the hardcore playerbase has been lead to believe that this is "their" game for 8 months straight, so of course they're going to scream and stamp their feet when even one slice of pie is given to anyone else. (And then they'll accuse the casuals of being the "entitled" ones, lol.)

It's nobody's game right now, and will be nobody's game if they want to release content at an agonizingly slow pace of nearly 5 months per patch when the content can be done in the course of five-ish hours for casual content. It's absurd for everybody.

I don't think I've seen any comments at all where raiders have been 'crying' about content being delegated to others.

Most of them won't because they actually benefit from much of the casual content anyway.

Can you point to an example of this? The OP's complaints were primarily about the new content being rehashed/low effort. In fact, the only person mentioning casuals on page 1 is you.

The developers want "casuals" and "hardcore" to fight against each other to distract from the fact that they are barely investing anything into the game

The developers didn't do anything to instigate casual vs. hardcore fights, people just love playing victim and making up strawmen lmao
