Yoshi-P on Character Growth

[MilesSaintboroguh]

The people who want those third dungeons and the people who hate dungeons are obviously not the same people. I don't know why anyone so blindly assumes every comment or complaint is made by the exact same individuals. Besides those who would, clearly haven't spoken out against dungeon content in its entirety and see a difference between a coin toss to whatever dungeon they run that day to a proper roulette. Every little bit helps even if they find it miserable, and it offers more progress than whatever prototype content they may decide to toss into the patch.

Then can you or anyone else explain to me how 3 dungeons in a roulette magically makes things better other than "more variety in a roulette"? I really want to know.

I'm pretty sure more variety is essentially the entire reason people want it. There's a certain...frustration with getting the same dungeon frequently when you're in a roulette, and having three dungeons alleviates that somewhat.

I've never really heard anyone pose a desire for them outside of that want for more variety.

I'm not "sick of tomestone grinding" though. I'd imagine most people who enjoy dungeons and want to see a return to three per patch probably aren't, either.

People forget that crystal tower was meant to be from the beginning of the game. 3dungeons was a thing because they had them almost ready. To me dungeons arent content, its a filler for tomestone grind like you could Just spam easy raid or ex primal for weapon -items at the same time obtain tomestone. Problem People seem to miss here is myself and others miss the quality of keeping players not chase them away. I barely been back for a week and people tell me its bad timing? Those who defend the current formula also says its okay for people to be left behind. I read raiding hasnt been the same and he wanna make them easier. What Will happen when good players leave? Not to sound like an Ass, but because of good players many gotten guides and a lot of help. Yoshida needs to keep players like this in game and keep them interested. Just like getting New players is good, but also bad if there is No guidence for them.

Forgot to add that the issue isnt only growth on current players and keep them, this Will also effect People like me. The fact people say the game is fine then tell me to wait for a patch to appear? Something is really missing here.

I couldn't agree more. I can totally understand Yoshi's point of view regarding the current trend of mmorpg nowadays but telling people to unsub during patches doesn't make any sense to me. I reached a point where i can even accept the current system as it is, adding different kind of gear sets would just lead to another thread "inventory crisis". Maybe unlock another materia slot on gear with a special materia that can be melded like "add fire damage" or "Slashing damage +". All i want is being entertained until the next patch. It's actually good to see people voice their opinion here because it shows one thing to me: they are all concerned about the future of this game. If i have to rent the game to play with my friends once in a while between patches i'd rather not play at all.

He's not telling people to unsub. He's saying that if people do that and then come back, that's OK with him -- the game won't penalize you for that.

Maybe, but what if people just give up and don't even come back.

Yeah, because people who takes breaks after a month into the patch and waits for the next one still pays their subscription the other 2 months they are not playing...

Just as I expected to hear tbh.

I'll never see XIV as 'my game' like I did XI before the level cap increase after 75 came along. Something about the approach to content made XI seem more like a world I could get lost in. XIV is more of a game to me - a fun one - but never coming close to replacing XI.

If you like FFXI its pretty much the same as it was at the 75 cap. Only the cap now is 119. They said something about not making gear above 119. You can still play it if you liked it. I played FFXI for 11 years but I stopped playing cause I play FFXIV now and I like it a lot more then FFXI.
