If we don't see Major changes in 8.0

I mean I know there are plenty of others in the same boat. If 8.0 comes around and the game doesn't make some significant changes then it's probably finally time to cut the losses and bounce for good.

I don't want to cancel my sub and lose my house and FC submarines unless I'm quitting indefinitely and 8.0 should be a solid indicator of whether things will ever actually improve or if it's just time to move on.

8.0 still would have to be designed to work withe the current encounter design who is at fault for Jobs beeing dumbed down to begin with.
Aka I have no trust at all and the moment my playtime runs out I am gone.
I would love to be wrong an 8.0 keeping all promises made turning they game to an actual playable state... But as it stand the devs have simplie lied to us to often to give there promises any worth.

It is amazing that there are still people who trust yoshi p, when he has lied with things he promises but does not deliver even he does not even say if they are progressing or not, just "please look foward to it", a este punto deseo que exista otro mmo más divertido que ff14

People should learn how Japanese people talk, they never give it to you straight answers. When the thing you want from devs is straight up honesty on what they want to do, what they can do, what they can't do, what they don't want to do. But instead we are kept in the shadows guessing what they have for us next. It's baffling that people actually let this slide, but here we are, waiting in the dark for "please look forward to it" without any roadmaps.

At this point, they need to fire YoshyP and hire someone with Fresh new ideas

Honestly not even shur if Yoshida is still involved as game director or if they just present him for live letters and interviews as some kind of memeable living maskot.
I mean we do know most of his attention was on FF 16 for large parts of Endwalkers development.

Yeah I don't mean to beat a dead horse but I just haven't really been invested since 6.0. And idk I could be wrong but I think I heard that Occult Crescent isn't going to give external xp meaning that they still plan to force us to be the sole support to new players by doing garbage dailies etc. I just want that adventurer feeling again and I don't think they plan on going that route. They axed almost all bits of the story that I was invested in that was built up from 1.0 (arbitrarily in some cases last expansion) and I just think that maybe people are right. Maybe the game isn't made for me anymore. I took Yoshi P's advice and went to play other games, and I realized that it wasn't rose colored glasses, and it wasn't me being burnt out from playing ffxiv, it was that the game has just changed in ways that feel shallow. Some people like repeating brainless content but I want to play an MMO. I want to explore a massive world.

I have resubbed to prep for Occult Crescent hoping that it will be content that will be more my style, but idk for some reason the vibe im getting is just feeling like its gonna be the same old same old with more people involved due to it being new. idk I hope i'm wrong, but we are gonna be on the half way patch and all we've seen are jobs still getting nerfed, and more of the same. Everyone said the MSQ was so much better but all I saw was that they added a new emo character, and oh boy sphene is alive. It just feels like all aesthetic, and not much substance. And I really mean this, I feel like both of the raid stories are easily 10x more interesting.

But hey, if you're a person that likes everything, don't let me be a cloud on your sunny day. Conversely though, if you are having weird feelings about everything, don't feel like you're going crazy, others feel it too.

I know I wont be here when 8.0 drops but is there still space on the demands list? ^^

Give us anything that makes EXP worthwhile again once you reach levelcap with all jobs. I sometimes forget that EXP do even exist in the game because they have no value to me anymore.
It could give you maybe some unlocks to glam your attack animation or an alternate design for Scholars ugly angle enshroud that was addet in Dawntrail... Really no Idea what the thought process behind that was.
