FFXIV Dawntrail reviews are out on Metacritic

[Exmo]

Dude after three expansions of people pointing out legitimate issues with the game being shut down Twitter ratio-dunking style who gives a shit that the tides have finally turned for once??

Like eat your own medicine lmfao

White knights complaining about positive threads meeting negative replies is the MOST HILARIOUS complaint when the opposite have been instigated BY THE VERY SAME PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS

You're talking as if you've been on these forums for years but it says you joined Feb 2025. I'm confused, how could this be??

[Red-thunder]

eh, you can call me a big softie cause I usually don't enjoy dunking on people. I'd rather keep dunking on CS3 and holding them accountable for their shit decisions and products.

Now that the story stopped distracting the masses from the rest of the product it at least makes people aware of the product they are being sold. Seeing how the perception of CS3 and Yoshi-PR as a "benevolent developer" has flipped for many, with people finally opening their eyes to the slop to the point of the ffxiv subreddit even openly being critical is very satisfying though.

That's why the white knights have become ever more unhinged just like the comment above me.

It depends on which they decided to create the account. Take me for example. I got the game in Feb of 2014 according to my achievements but I didn't create my account until July of 2015.

I'd sooner trust a starving lion to not rip me apart over journo scores for anything so much as media-tangental.

Back for the free login campaign, it's been a minute.

Score Update: Steam reviews in the last 30 days fell to 27% (Mostly Negative).

Overall Steam reviews have fallen to 49% (Mixed).

I'm aware that something happened in the past few days that may have affected steam scores, but I'll have to do some reading on the forums and the ffxivdiscussion subreddit to see exactly what happened.

Fully deserved.

I gave a negative review personally cause its unacceptable that the servers are still locked after a year. It was supposed to be a temporary thing.

I'd probably do it too if I had the game on steam. The servers being locked after all this time is some bullsh*t. I don't RP or w/e, I just want to check the prices on different servers/data centers and can't because of the stupid server lock.

[Swordsman]

Fully deserved.

Not sure if your comment was in relation to the mod that got banned recently, but if it was, yeahhh... Did some reading into the third party mod that got banned. That honestly sucks for players who used the mod. I've never used the mod myself but I can still sympathize because it seemed like a good way for players to enhance their gaming experience and to make things interesting. Like why upset the playerbase even more, especially when SE even admits the game is struggling? I guess we will see in the future if this comes back to bite them.

Fully deserved.

Nope it's totally pathetic to write a review about something that isn't even in the game, just to try and ruin the games reputation. I hope out of spite they go for the base mods :P
