The tonedeaf Live Letter LXXXVI 86

It would. But it's a whole lot less special when every fight is doing that already.

And it's also just bizarre that people say DDR raids are this game's niche since 2.0 when you can just go back in time and see the variety in content and see how fights weren't just DDR raids.

Even ARR dungeons had more personality and creativity than modern raids.

Also:

- Apparently they took the dumbest feature from Hydatos and made it so that you enter BA 3.0 with portals..... for whatever dumb reason.

- Also, it seems that you can infinitely raise within BA 3.0 since Phantom job actions don't seem to have any restrictions other than cooldown.

Really makes you wonder if this iteration is somehow going to be even worse than Eureka and Bozja lmao. Did they take the worst of both worlds...?

We can only hope/assume that 'use item for 'higher chance' to enter' means 'the higher chance is 100%' because if not, it would imply that you can use an item, a limited resource, and still lose the roll to someone who did not use the item

That's actualy very likely.
All for the sake of making things for themselves as cookie-cutter and easy as possible and easy so even these people complaining about MSQ solo duties being too hard / impossible can get carried through.

I dunno, I feel like they've already started to take a wrong turn with some jobs in the 7.1 update. I'm definitely not into pvp enough to know if it's better competitively, but I wasn't happy to see RDM's black/white stances and GNB's junctions gone.

... I'm sorry, what? RDM stances are gone???

complaining that the Honey Bee and the funfair expertdungeon are to hard for them.
Which is partially the communitys fault for crying every time something needs brain.

People got practically trained into believing that Expert Dungeons need to be brain dead. Of course some people act all entitled and outraged when they suddenly can't stand still 90% of the fight anymore.

PvP got Ruined with Stormblood, PvE got Ruined when they based everything, jobs and content, around the 2 minute Meta. All to please the few people whining about how they can't get everything by pressing 4 Buttons.

Well who knows what will happen if multiple people used the item.

And can you imagine grinding useless FATEs or CEs just to secure a place in an organized run? Lmao

see for yourself, they fully leaned on the Rose theme as if WHM's lilification wasn't enough

Guess I can't even praise this game's PvP anymore

Considering that you will have that content for the next half year with nothing else to do, you can blissfully ignore the content drip and pause for a few months with zero consequences.

The problem with that is due to the drip feed content releases, people are so starved for content they pounce on it whenever something new is finally released. So if you do take a few months off, you'll be left behind. Case in point, if you didn't do Eureka Orthos within the first couple weeks, it was a right pain trying to find a group willing to climb to floor 100. Criterion didn't even last that long unless you went through discord networking. Perhaps the best example is Delubrim and its lack of future proof, which made trying to get relics later in ShB's life cycle an absolute chore, and downright awful in EW.

By the time Crescent comes out, casual players will have waited nearly a full calendar year. That's beyond ridiculous.
