For Shame, Mr. Yoshida - Being a Healer in 2026

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

I mean, it's the take of Yoshida so I guess it follows the official line, which is even more tragic.

Unless said official line has changed since they recognized recently there was a problem in how they approached difficulty modes in the game idk.

They do really have a weird, backward line of thinking.

In a vacuum, Dungeons are only fun to players that specifically enjoys 'turn off the brain' gameplay. High-ends are only fun for people who specifically loves spreadsheeting DDR mania. There's nothing left from the core job gameplays - it's not fun anymore. So now they're so hell bent on wanting to rely pulling players with a single type of content, each directly appeals to a very specific demography (like that actually work lol, people can take a look at census' new player graph and see how abysmal those numbers are. 'new player experience' my a$$).

Normally the ideal, and perhaps the logical solution to this dilemma would be funding for a better core job gameplay, so that players can have fun in any contents they choose to step into. After all, that's what we use to do everything. But instead they stretch their development cycle so wide & thin as a compensation, as they've demonstrated these past few years.
