What do you like and dislike most in FFXIV?

[WinterLuna]

Hello all,

Before you read the thread, the question is about the game itself, please refrain from including the community in your response as this isn't something the devs can control.

Recently there has been a lot of debate about complaints and (apparent) lack of positive threads in the forums.

Regardless of peoples opinions, I'm sure SE appreciate all constructive feedback, whether it's positive or negative. Both opinions allow the devs to figure out what's good and what's bad about the game and what people like and dislike.

So, what is your favourite thing about FFXIV, and what is your least favourite, and why?

Please keep your comments constructive but honest, and respect people's opinions.

Thank you for reading/posting.

I dislike the supposed endgame that this game provides as I find no real lasting reason to even bother with it (obsolescence). I also dislike how the career forum poster community insist that players play their way or it's the highway. But I guess that's because the people developing this game lack any PVE creativity to allow game play strategies and thinking outside the box. What I like, the stuff that I don't need to rely duty finder/party finder to get done.

I can't choose just 1, so I'll do 3 of each

Like:
1. It's beautiful! A lot of people have pointed out that it's 2016 and the game could look better, but I still think it looks very good.
2. Lots of things to do! Some people think it's full of grinds, but I feel if you aren't focused too much on the reward at the end of the grind, it's nice to have lots of options for things to do. Caveat: I'm a new-ish, casual player so I haven't finished everything like some others have, this might not apply to more veteran players
3. Ser Aymeric

Dislike:
1. Some jobs are a liiiittle bit bland. BLM and SMN especially were really disappointing to me in this game.
2. EMPTY! There is very seldom anyone around just moving through a zone. Everyone hangs out in towns. No idea what to do about it, just something I noticed. Maybe it's just my server?
3. Inventory - I had to break and get an extra retainer to hold all my crap. Why is there no bank system? Maybe I just have too much crap...

Like: Amount of different equipment.

Dislike: Battle System. It's the most mind numbling repetitive bettle system I have seen in years of my gaming. If I say what I think about developers behind it I'll get banned most likely. So, yeah ...

Love: everything.

Dislikes: I don't dislike, but I have problems with WAR tanks. Most of the times they're bossy and unmannered towards the party even though they can't even take a tankbuster without hitting single digit HP levels.

Like the weighty animations, the engine (apart from when it causes immense flickering when passing by leaves, planks, anything with a lot of lines), the ultimately rather fast paced combat, the leniency for cast-tail movement, and that healers and tanks can both do significant DPS dependent on their coordination with each other and the raid's present pace).

Not a fan of the oversights (Skill/Spell Speed, Diadem, original PotD), rapid content obsoletion, lack of core innovation, how animations rarely do what they look like they should do (see single-target Spinning Slash), how the fast pace is really just a product of every job being identically GCD-locked with a backing arsenal of oGCDs, the singularity of optimal rotations, or the shortage of cross-role responsibilities (especially for DPS party members) or versatility.

[Not saying I want every roll to be able to heal or tank, but they should have a way of getting around or restoring damage, whether that be by kiting, killing, swapping off, or whatever else. No one should 99% of the time be concerned only with their parse, or in addition only to minimizing their own raid-damage taken). I'd like to see more abnormal compositions, more alternate ways of approaching a given problem or encounter. And yet we're mired instead in CC immunities, etc.]
