Absolute frustration at not being able to see my own DPS (ps4)

SE originally stated that they were going to allow offical user created addons and they would release an kit for people to make addons for FFXIV and that the best PC addons would get ported over to the Playstation. However the plans to allow addons kept getting delayed several times and they haven't really said anything recently regarding them. The whole thing seems to be in limbo at the moment.

I would love to see Yoshi P address what is going on with the user created addon support in the next live letter.

I've also said (several times) that the Devs have said no to a parser already so I don't personally think it will happen and I'm not holding my breath. But SE has changed its mind. This is what the forum is for. Telling people it's not realistic isn't really contributing anything meaningful.

Why is it not? That's a fair thing to say, seeing as Square has said they don't condone the use of one? It's my opinion added to the discussion.

I think we can both agree that a parser on all platforms would be a great thing, I'm just being realistic in my approach to the situation. I understand Square has no obligation to make this kind of thing available to people who can't use the unofficial one, and I understand that it's (at this point) a pipe dream because Square has unequivocally taken the opposing stance on it.

Also, reading KaitlanKela's post, that's exactly what they were saying. I don't know how you can interpret that any differently.

i actually think all 3 of us agree, and are misunderstanding each other due to the nature of speaking through an internet forum.

TL;DR parser is gud

You know what? I've said the exact same thing. Several times. I think we do agree. I'm with you.

I'm with Kaurie too.

I'm actually quite impressed that we managed to come to the realization that we're all in agreement here.

Let's eat some cake. Seriously.

@GTANJ I'd also like to note that YoshiP has said add-on support is coming. 8 months ago:

Reddit: Here’s a question that’s asked a lot. What’s the current state of the API for addons?

Yoshida: We’re still in development. It will still take more time. We’re thinking maybe after the launch of Heavensward we may be able to give you a visual reference or a screen layout of some sort. Of course having to have patch updates go on at the pace we’re going at any additional side projects that we work on tend to take a bit more time. But of course we’re inching slowly closer to making it happen and we’re continuing to work on it.

I would like to object and suggest pie because you are all way too friendly and sensical for an Internet discussion. Controversy must be reintroduced.

I can't wait until this comes to fruition as well. Until then, I will continue to be cautiously optimistic.

That's hopeful then. I remember reading the interview but I had glossed over that initially.

Did we seriously just end this argument? For real?
