Honestly, my issues with FFXIV aren't fixable by "just more FFXIV". Doubling the content won't help with anything. it's things like lack of basic functions like glamour log, chat bubbles, UI fixes and general annoyances that persist despite having YEARS to fix them. The story peaked in Shadowbringers, and it has been downhill from there. EW had some very high but also very low points, and DT's ratio on those skewed more towards the low despite having similar design language. There's so much potential and it hurts how obvious some of it is to implement but... i think the devs are just not that skilled or competent and are just trying to keep the wheels going to a schedule than actually work on the things i care about.


There have been great new things, like the graphical and character improvements, improvements to jobs, the general quality is higher, the relics are better this time around and even OC has a bunch of improvements compared to eureka/bozja despite some other drawbacks. But the technical debt and lack of core improvements are hurting the game in the long run.
