Final Fantasy XIV is a game where the accountant is in the room.

I'll be honest I didn't read much of this bait but this part was hilarious.

Do you remember when there are bugs after bugs at the start of EW, like the housing lottery bugs, the login queue bug, and the TOP bugs?

Person thinks "bugs after bugs after bugs" means three bugs

Today in: person doesn't understand what examples are.


But let me add some more for you then.

· Warrior's SiO randomly healing for millions.
· Bard being unable to use any songs if another bard in the party already used them.
· A change to their netcode causing Ninja Mudras to ghost for everyone not on JP ping.
· Too many ability sounds going off at the same time just disabling all sounds until you restart the game (mostly an issue in frontlines).


TOP alone had several bugs.
·P3 aggro reset while the boss was untargetable, making it almost guaranteed to oneshot your healer.
·Hello World adding so many status effects at once that the game removed your own job and party buffs.
·A bug introduced with the release of Mount Rokkon where players in TOP would suddenly kill themselves when stepping in a tower after they had resolved looper.


Sure the thread is engagement bait but the fact that Endwalker had significantly more bugs than previous expansions remains.

"New software had bugs" is the fork found in kitchen of our times.

"New software had bugs" is the fork found in kitchen of our times.

There were far less game-breaking bugs in prior expansions. So much so that I used to praise SE's in-house QA to anyone who would listen because they reliably delivered product with minimum experience-ruining bugs. I noticed a serious uptick in them during late Shadowbringers and into Endwalker, so I stopped giving that praise. Let's not forget the infamous bug where if you used a certain emote during one of the EW fights, you literally could not leave the boss arena. (Someone help me on that one I cant find a source for it)

But yes, just keep ignoring all the evidence presented to you because it doesn't fit your narrative.

...

The older and bigger a body of software gets, the harder it gets to add to it and extend it without introducing bugs. In fact, it actually gets hugely more difficult to improve and maintain as time goes on.

If you were a software developer, you would know that already.

That said, Dawntrail haters tend to accuse others of what they themselves are most guilty of, so I expect you'll also ignore the fact that game development is one of the hardest industries for making software, and that minor bugs which get quickly fixed (yes, all the bugs listed in this thread have been minor) is hardly indicative of an ailing body.
