MOAR DUNGEONS isn't content.

[Halloween]

We will all be bored of these dungeons in 2 weeks.
They've said absolutely nothing about non-combat content, which is really what keeps us occupied most of the time.

I will probably be spending a lot of time in the fc house, but we still don't have ANY content that makes FF games so fun to play for long hours...mini games, chocobo raising/racing, card games, doing something OTHER than wp sr's. I go to Mor Dhona and look for pug /shouts just to do something, not that I need anything from a titan or garuda, but this game is already stale as balls because they've focuse only on dungeons and boss encounters that we've done hundreds of times already.

Give us real content.

The "treasure hunt" stuff is being detailed in the next letter...

This post is absolutely correct. There's no content to do outside of Duty Finder . . . That is unless you want to farm two mobs in the entire game. No open world NMs, no rare drops.... This game has become a complete casual joke... EVERYTHING FOR EVERYONE... such a disappointment.

Johnist also posting insults to make himself look cool below.

This quoted post is from an ignorant hardcore gamer who has no idea about the true depth of the game. Only 2% of 1.23's players defeated Ifrit Extreme in 1.23 and it looks like its similar to 1.23 in difficulty.

As far as we know there will be 3 Non-Dungeon things added:
1) Beastman Dailies
2) Treasure Hunts (Get rare CRAFTING materials)
3) Housing (and need to CRAFT house).

This post is absolutely correct.

Except that OP's post is absolutely incorrect.

There will be more than housing to "non-dungeon" content. They didn't show everything in one day. If they have TWO PARTS scheduled from the beginning, why would they spur everything in the first one? Hold your horses.

Also, more "non-dungeon" content is planned for later versions - including most of the things OP whined about. They can't just throw away everything to create in two hours a whole new system. 2.1 is getting the finishing touches, 2.2 is probably in development in a few areas, and 2.3 and beyond are possibly rolling around Yoshi's desk.

OP clearly doesn't have a clue on how development works, and just wants a new pacifier as soon as he finished filling his current one with spit. He also showed some lack of creativity, since it's possible to create something to have fun without the need of a specific game system to that. People who enjoy a bit of role-playing ingame excel on that. You just need some friends interested in doing such things as well.

Oh wait.

By the way; I'm casual, and I want content too. Do you think the casuals enjoy doing the same thing everytime we log on, just because we don't have time to log on as much as hardcores? Just because it takes us more time to run through content, doesn't mean we don't feel the lack of variety too. We're the same as you guys.

Personally, the one thing that pulls down ARR for me so far, is that whole feeling that all of the game is there just to be a support pillar for the dungeons and coil. No exploration, no sense of adventure, no mini-games on the side... although I do think (and hope) this is coming with later patches.

While I don't disagree this game has very little to do outside of dungeons, I do disagree that more dungeons isn't content. More dungeons is more content, while open world stuff and mini games is also content. Its all, technically, more content.

I've been asking about non-combat content since 1.0's beta.

Let's see there's Mining, Botany and Fishing that are non-combat... as well as all the other crafting classes (which correct me if I'm wrong) are also non-combat classes as well... Unless I've gotten this whole game wrong and in that case there is no non-combat content.

And you would really want to say "I've been asking FOR non-combat content since 1.0's beta. Asking ABOUT is an entirely different thing.

Its all, technically, more content.

Honestly, its not "technically" more content, anything new to a game is in and of itself "new content". Doesn't matter whether its dungeons/mini-games, combat/non-combat.

Point. Blank. Period. Anything new added in patches/expansions are "New" content hands down.

[MithrasInvictus]

There's plenty to do outside of dungeons. I have 6 lv50s and only one of them is a combat class. Just because you choose to not do the content available, doesn't mean that it isn't there. That being said, there is more non-combat content coming on Dec. 17, so you don't have much time to wait.

I always wonder when I see these sorts of threads exactly what these people actually want in regards to 'content' - open world NMs don't count because they're FATEs now and won't be coming back. It seems to me it's just another case of no matter what SE does some people will never be satisfied with what's given to them. And I have a feeling SE knows this too well and deliberately is ignoring this kind of player.
