Dev Team Appreciation Post

[Aomine1992]

What you people seem to want, is the combat system from XI, more than anything else. Obviously that will never happen. Beyond that you say "original stuff" but people never seem to explain what that stuff should be.

Either that or they just hate every new thing the devs try so yes of course they might rehash because this player base is just impossible to please lol

Yes some things really need to be addressed but overall great job becuase I have tried other games and end up back here re-subbed

It's clear that the love you have for the game shows in the work you put into it. I especially love the culture and pop references throughout the quests. And I like how the developers try to actively listen to the community as a whole. I wish they would speak up more though, and tell us the reasoning because some changes!

To the developers of this game: Thank you! It's not only a great MMO but a great Final Fantasy. I am a big fan of the series and appreciate the nods to other titles.
I hadn't been able to play any MMOs and stick to them, but FFXIV made that possible.

I think it's the community that makes this game shine, just like FFXI, people would just step in battle, help you out and then go about their way. I love the animations too, nothing better than a lala dancing to brighten up your day.

Please keep making great content ^^

Thanks for making my favorite game. Sometimes people don't appreciate something until it's gone. Imagine if FF XIV was gone tomorrow. Your next log out is the last one ever. There are other games out there but nothing quite like this one. Next expansion a massive amount of leavers will come back as usual, plus a lot of new people. Stormblood launch reportedly set the new record for concurrent subscribers, beating out ARR. Hopefully they keep up the good marketing and grow the audience again.

I really do appreciate all the devs have done and all the crap they've had to put up with. I'm honestly extremely disappointing in the community right now.

I might be in the minority, but I feel like the game is the best it's ever been.
There's a clear difference in the quality of leveling and 50 dungeons compared to 70 and later 60 dungeons. The design has definitely improved over time.
The extreme trials are tons of fun imo, and are truly worth playing again and again. It's just so satisfying to get a perfect run.
Sure, I didn't like Eureka but it's not like it's the only thing to do.
imho, if people are saying the game has gotten stale or needs an overhaul or what have you, maybe you should take a break and come back when the next major patch comes out? Fatigue is a real thing and all it takes is a break to make things feel a little more fresh again.
Just my two cents.

I thank the devs for making 90% of old content still somewhat relevant, or at least playable for newbies.
This is one of the main draws of the game for me, feels like so many games nowadays just disregard the leveling experience and anything that's not current end-game because a majority of the playerbase doesn't care about it and will often times discourage the devs from working on them, so I'm glad Yoshi P and his team not only manage to create engaging end-game content they also made a way of keeping leveling interesting and fun at all stages of the game and mostly retaining the feel of the content as it was originally released, ensuring new players don't miss out on much even if they start late.

now please tell Soken that removing the drums and slowing the tempo of old Final Fantasy tracks is a bad idea, might as well just rip the music straight from the original game like with FFT if they're going to do that >.>
