The (Broken) Promise of Tomorrow - 7.3 Expectations

[HyperiusUltima]

Losing touch with the Playerbase is the best they could do, maybe Square should just do what Square wants to do, IF this involves that they actually learn from it and dont do the same Mistakes all over again.

Yes and no. From a development standpoint feedback at this juncture is crucial to maintaining their subs because it becomes a sink or swim situation due to how the community is heavily dissatisfied with the content that’s released in Dawntrail. While improvements have been made since 7.0, they feel like they should’ve been there from the start to the point it becomes a kick in the teeth compared to previous works they have made(exempting post-patch Endwalker).

From a community standpoint however, they still have all the power to make this a successful or a failing game - it all depends on how they handle feedback within their team. If anything, Yoshida sees this himself and since he’s the front guy for managing PLLs and development for FFXIV, I can tell even he’s dissatisfied with it and has gotten tired of apologizing out of necessity.

If he’s any kind of person he was back in the early days of FFXIV, I’m hoping he can get things back in shape. If not, FFXIV is going to have their Reverse Warlords of Draenor moment before they can even consider getting player trust back.

Usually i would agree because i see it the same, but i learned one thing, the FFXIV Players will always be dissatisfied no matter what Square is doing.

I mean the current Droprates for the Atma as example, i like them, while there are people hate it, what happens if they increase now the rate? i will hate it and other will like it

or in older Expansion, People with interest in more "Challening" Content always had only Savage + Ultimate, now they added in this Expansion CAR and FT and people complain, if they now with the next Expansion stop adding more Challening Content, people will complain, you can not satisfy the FFXIV Community, so at this Point im honest, Square should do what ever Square wants without worrying about the Community

Because People forgot, even if only People are left which "like" "Challening" Content, they are still more as enough to to pay the costs to let ffxiv run, yea Square would need to stop maybe to take money into other Projects but there are so many People so the Costs for the Game would still be paid.
