SE Stop Using FATES for everything in FFXI Realm Reborn!

[Zaiken]

This is not another ATMA Weapon grind complains, just an overall Rants on SE keep re-using old FATES contents for everything and I'm getting tired of it. I can't be the only one who are so sick and fed up with it.

Can't SE do something creatives with the game that isn't related to FATES? Aren't we sick of this old content that is overly used for everything? How about some real open world contents THAT DOES NOT REQUIRED FATES?

Let see how many new and old contents that keep using the FATES System already....I know there are alternatives to the one I listed here, but this are just example of using the FATES system and it faster with FATES.


1.) Leveling up in this game you do FATES until you can do Dungeon.
2.) Every Events you released is FATES related.
3.) Every Seasonal Event you released is FATES related.
4.) New Relic Quest is heavily FATES related.
5.) Your Book required FATES.
6.) You make us kill mob in book that required to spawn in a FATES.
7.) You released Venture Adventure, but to level them up you need to do FATES to earn seals to buy Venture Coins.
8.) We leveling up our Chocobo through FATES since we can't carry them to Dungeon.
9.) We grind FATES to earn Seal
10.) We grind FATES to level up our Company and earn company seals.
11.) Unlocking Crystal Tower


Jesus, haven't you used enough FATES stuff in your game already? I fear for FFXIV Future because FATES will get bored really soon and people will get fed up with it. I know some already are.

It's FFXIV not FFXI.

You now have to complete a FATE teaching you which game is which.

I dislike EVERY SINGLE FATE. And almost all new and old content requires you to do FATES(dailies, unlocking content, ATMA, events, etc). It's boring waiting around for an hour or even hours. They've done SOOOOOOOO much content with FATEs. I hope that they take a break from using them in the next...forever? O.K if not forever then in the next patch?

[Musashidon]

i am fine with fates hope we get more fates can't wait to seem what new area's will bring!

[Nici]

I don't mind doing fates, sure sometimes you get tired of the whole fate grind, that's when i take a short break and do something else in the game.

What i DO hate are fates that people really don't do at all, there are some in Coerthas for example.

I'm fine with it too, but what I hate about it is that SE keep using this old content every time new patch or new contents. I think it just lazy design and a quick way to re use old contents. We need something else to do beside FATES all the time.

There are several other ways to earn Grand Company seals, including but not limited to: supply/provisioning missions, certain Duty Roulettes, and farming dungeon drops to trade in - thus invalidating points 7, 9, and 10. Also, using FATEs to level your chocobo is far less efficient than something like grinding up in Urth's Gift.

To be honest, I think FATEs are fine for events, seasonal or otherwise - the quest chains don't last nearly long enough to make FATE hunting a serious issue. Personally, I was okay with using FATEs for Atma/Animus relics - considering nobody really grinds FATEs to level any more (doing your hunting log and a handful of guildleves is a lot easier for getting from 1-15) it's a reason to go out in the world - small as it is - and take in the sights. I do agree, however, that SE's going to need to be much more creative on how they're going to continue making the overworld somewhat relevant, or else it's going to get dull, and fast.

Mmm~ ( '-') I am quite new to this game I say so I really don't feel it's that bad.

1.) Leveling up in this game you do FATES until you can do Dungeon.

What about Levequest? Hunting log? Doing quest or killing mobs?

2.) Every Events you released is FATES related.
3.) Every Seasonal Event you released is FATES related.

Is there any FATE involved in the Easter event? I am not too sure as I just remember running around in town. And I don't know about anything before cause I wasn't playing much before that.

4.) New Relic Quest is heavily FATES related.
5.) Your Book required FATES.

That I have to agree. Although I haven't started mine yet.

6.) You make us kill mob in book that required to spawn in a FATES.

Same as 4 and 5.

7.) You released Venture Adventure, but to level them up you need to do FATES to earn seals to buy Venture Coins.

I have never used FATEs to specifically earn seals to buy venture coins. I just trade in the Aetherial equipments I get from running dungeons and do the daily for crafting. Now I have to try to use up my seals on items / Venture coins or else they go to waste since they are capping fast (Capping 50,000 seals I think?).

8.) We leveling up our Chocobo through FATES since we can't carry them to Dungeon.

That is totally optional and up to you on how you want to level up your chocobos. So I don't see this point fitting in here.

9.) We grind FATES to earn Seal

This is the same as point 7. You don't ever have to grind FATEs to earn seal.

10.) We grind FATES to level up our Company and earn company seals.

I don't know how FCs level up, gonna look it up :3

[Nayto]

Nah... fates is here to stay.

It's like their levequest system back in 1.0, Game revolves too much around it (or they seem to intentionally revolve around it).

Final Fate: A FATE Reborn.

I agree 100% with OP. I'm damn near sick of FATE's. Can't bother to do them much.
Being a DPS now, I just wait and craft or gather while waiting on DF for 30mins because FATE's are the end all be all of some much crap.
No one likes rehashed mind zerg bum run stuff. It's boring as hell.

@ChromHeart. I am not sure, but I THINK the Easter was the only one that didn't.
Probably Valentines but I hadn't played from Nov - March.
