    Game too complex or easy?

    Seems to be a good mix of both spectrums, so the question do you find the game to complex or easy?

    Neither. I'd say the correct term is vast.
    I've been playing for 2 years and haven't reached even 40% of the achievements and stuff to do.

    It's too easy. The only hard content we have is/was Alexander Savage and the Coils of Bahamut. Midcore doesn't exist outside of Ex primals. Everything else is face roll easy.

    Combat got a little more complex thanks to the new abilities, but outside of that, nothing is really complex. And crafting/gathering isn't complex, it just been designed badly for endgame.

    EX primals are hardcore content. Perhaps when their accessibility is increase by nerf/echo they become what you refer to as mid-core. But to players who are at the opposite end of the spectrum to hardcore raiders, EX primals are hardCore content, and unless content has been nerfed, has echo and is outgeared its not all faceroll easy. Actually, it wouldn't be faceroll easy to you if you were not overgeared in the extreme. But as usual, someone fails to understand that just because something is faceroll easy to them (max level and overgeared as they are), does not mean that it is that easy to others.

    From what I see, it depends on who you ask.

    I disagree. The EX primals are more akin to the mid-core crowd. The fights aren't extremely demanding unlike Alexander (Savage), and just requires players to learn the mechanics and have have decent enough damage output and healing. Personally, I would consider this mid-core content; Not too demanding, and not too simple. :0

    EX primals were alwys hardcore content in 2.xx. If the newer ones aRe easier perhaps thats because the game data showed fewer than expected taking part in EX runs. Either way, with level appropriate gear, these are not entirely mid-core, or ehatever its called, and they are most certainly not faceroll easy.

    I would definitely not say FFXIV is too complex. Certain classes have a high skill cap (predominantly DPS classes) but in general it's not that complicated. I'd say in general it's just about right for the average casual player, maybe erring a little towards the easy side.

    Now, ability bloat on the other hand, there is a lot of that going on.

    As other have said, I think the ex primals are a good starting spot for endgame. We just need more stuff like that. The biggest problem is right now we only have 2 ex primals, and nothing has been said if we will get more or when. What we do know we are getting in 3.1 is 2 dungeons, 24 man raid, and a new Gold Saucer attraction. All of which is easy content. We know that in 3.2 another set of alexander content will come out, but there's one mode that's real easy and another that's real hard.

    If SE ignores the kind of in between area between really easy and really hard, they will be doing so at their own detriment. The difficulty curve is a little skewed right now, and the reason people are saying there isn't much endgame.

    EDIT: I think if Square is smart they will make the 24 man at least a little bit challenging, and not nerf it if people complain it's not steamroll enough.

    Everything except Alex Savage is far too easy. But I still find it fun to play.
