Whats going on with SE ?

Look at the new dungeon, alliance raid, trial, eureka map, deep dungeon coming out next... they even added a side quest to the alliace raid this round... see new stuff to do for casuals is right around the corner...

A lot of that stuff ends up done in 2-3 hours, one day a week, and they compete with each other; dont need to do expert with eureka or maybe dd giving tomes. Alliance is 30 min a week and done.

Really its just eureka and dd, and eureka needs to have changes to make it deeper or more engaging. DD can be good, but it needed to be out earlier, and it has to avoid what made dd suck; casuals farming only the easy floors, hard floors too gated to prevent people from doing them easily.

I guess it depends if it needs to or not, does ffxiv need it? who knows, I can only judge the results after such attempt is made. I am getting tried of trying to shoe horn the class role thing though. FFXIV 1.0 it worked it had a point with the concpt with the game, and it is in the game ARR and beyond why? just because 1.0 had it? I think you are missing the point of that post though, it was basically refuting the claim "I've played a bunch of different games, most as a healer. None of these games have ever done what you are saying SE has failed to do, because why on earth would you change how a class/job is supposed to work fundamentally? " other games done it, not saying FFXIV has to, but to suggest things need to be static and predictable because other games never changed fundamentals is way off, almost being a flat out lie, as reason I explained.

Ah, well that is true. I mean, the MMO genre as it is really spends too much time focusing on other games doing (mostly wow) to the genre's detriment, so I'd agree nothing is stopping inovation. I just really am not keen on job changes, because i've had to relearn many jobs multiple times already; just the SMN and MCH changes alone over time have been involved.
