I know that many still feel like they don't have a lot to do in the game, and they want more content. But do we? Or do we really want fleshed out quality content that would keep us coming back to it? I've seen many posts in live letters where SE's reasoning for not doing something is that it would be too much work, or too much time to make it happen. But when we get something, even though its usually pretty nice, it quickly becomes old to us.
As simple as bringing butts back to designing entirely different races. SE stated that it would be too much work to redo the armors to accommodate our rears or to make a race that used a different body style than what we had. Yes...we got the Au Ra...but what happened ended up disappointing those who though we were really getting something different. The females are basically miqo with scales and horns and the men seem too much like the elezen reworked in the same way.
Progression is being tied somewhat to redoing old content such as fates or rerunning old dungeons. We find ourselves doing the same tome grind over and over again. I was really disappointed at one point when the MSQ required guildhests to progress.
I am very happy with the game, but I feel like it could really benefit from having the team sit down and rework some of the things that just aren't really working the way that it could. I feel like if what we got was put together a little better we would enjoy it more, and we wouldn't have to worry about going back and doing fates and dungeons with a carrot dangled in front of our faces. We should be going back to them because they are fun. It's working for us now, but how far down the road can FFXIV go by repainting things we have with a new color or giving it a new name. I would personally be fine if we had to go without certain updates for the sake of really making the content stand out and make us fall more in love with it.
And if those don't make my point, how about those of you wanting better graphics updates. If SE won't rework the models and graphics for butts and races, do you still think they would rework the graphics for the sake of reworking the graphics? Because I don't.
Still happy with the game, but I just feel like it could be more with a little bit more love from the devs.
Do you want more updates, more content faster? Or slower updates with better quality content?
