FFXIV Needs a HUGE overhaul

We are reworking the jobs so your combo actions are one button. This massive overhaul to combat will arrive with the much awaited 8.0 update. We are also removing Healer roles damage dealing actions. And to compensate. Every attack in dungeons will become significantly more threatening to warrant the requirement of extra healing being capable from the removal of actions that go against the role of a Healer. We will also be buffing Dark Knights damage potencies across the board by 5,000% and Warriors Bloodwhetting healing potency is being reduced to 0.1 as we feel like it is too powerful again.

Please look forward to it.

Hasn't it been already the main thing with DT, notably in the writing and creative department?

Or do you mean gameplay wise?

I disagree at this point. FFXIV isn't a bad game. We just beat it. There's nothing more to look forward to I think. Endwalker should've been the end of the games mass appeal and Dawntrail a maintenance mode style patch. FF 17 should've been announced as the new SE MMO coming instead of maintain FFXIV as the Franchises main MMO.

Instead of reworking anything, keep it as is, and make a new MMO. It's clear NEW players really enjoy this and have a lot to look forward to. Veterans are just over this game because we beat it and are just playing it over and over again.

Starting with the lead dev in particular.

Companies that pump out MMORPG games do not create new ones, with the possible exception of EverQuest 2, which is itself getting old, and Final Fantasy XIV itself, which has hit the 12-year mark for version 2.0. [OK, I missed Guild Wars 2, which hit the 13-year mark this year].

World of Warcraft still cranks out new content after 21 years, and pretty much destroyed the world in a Cataclysm to introduce a new game engine ... The story changed a little bit, but there are still older expansions nobody plays anymore unless they're playing World of Warcraft Classic.

It also worked for Final Fantasy XIV. Once. They might pull off another game engine change, I suppose,

Re-skins seem to be popular as well (Blade & Soul Neo, I'm looking at you).

game doesn't need "saving" when the most recent luckybancho census has it at 880k active players.
does ffxiv make SE money?
yes - it's fine.
no - se spends less to compensate for the losses

I imagine XIV is the fastfood job of the MMORPG industry. You're going to be making 100 FATEs that are all the same, reusing and recoloring old gear for rewards, working on MSQ cutscenes where characters just stand around and talk for 85 quests, etc and that will NEVER change, every day you go in and make "kill 15 rats" FATEs or the same ole ex fights with dynamo and chariots. Finding new blood may be the hardest thing for them because who TF would want to work there? That just sounds miserable.

Why are we listing to what the personification of filth says on his streams?
