Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

2 to 4 years, if ever.

This sparks joy. Much rather development time go toward making the game a game rather than a medium for subpar creative writing exercises. Hope my $15 a month goes toward actual content.

Don't this against the game lore and history?

Technically, yes.

See, you started off strong but now you're coming across as what I like to call 'The Petty Intelligent' - which kind of reminds me of someone with a fedora, and scoffs at everything that doesn't fit into their superior viewpoint of quality. Anyway, not everyone is here to RP. The more you harp on about ERP the more you end up just looking like a - well, I don't need to say it. I'm sure you know how it comes across, and I'm sure you know what you're doing.

Now if you said, 'This is okay with me, I'd rather they spent development elsewhere and my sub to help towards further development.' - you wouldn't have come across as the 'Petty Intelligent', who's just here to piddle on folks parade for your own amusement. But instead would have had an opinion and viewpoint that wouldn't have people just outright think you're being a butt.

I don't wear hats, and I still want my subscription fee to go toward real content.

Looks like they're aware about RPers

That's really reassuring, and I hope they know it's a sign of how much people love their game and world.

Your catgirl is wearing the best 'not hat' I've ever seen.

Better, a counter-argument is what you class as real content might be completely different to what others class as real content. Also, I'm pretty sure that the team who works on race/lore and/or equipment is different to the said team who does content such as story/dungeon/trial/savage/ultimate and 'Eureka V#' and etc. I personally class it as an add-on, others, however, will class it as 'content.' Race has always had some tendency to matter in MMOs - it's where the money is - followed up by purchasable glam items. Your $15 doesn't make a splash in the neverending ocean that is the fantasia.

And finally.

Please stop painting everyone with the same brush. Not everyone wants to ERP a twink or RP at all, come to think about it. I fail to understand why some people struggle with understanding this. A desire for a specific glamour/race does not equal = THEY WANT TO ERP.

I would like to point out that they said nothing about ERP or twinks. They just said creative writing exercises. If you interpret that as ERP then perhaps that says something about you.

""One could say that many are taking residence in the world of FF14, which is changing what we need to provide — it is no longer just about creating content, but also simply providing a space to play within. I believe this is both a very strong and positive outcome for an MMORPG. The reaction toward battle mechanics and other specifics are a very small factor in comparison to this bigger picture.""

Ok see, this worries me a little bit, because it almost paints the idea that they might shift into Glamours and Aesthetics over Playable Content and improving mechanics for their game, which will spell doom in the future. When there is nothing to do and no reason to play, why am I playing $15 a Month for this game? Im not paying a subscription and Buying Expansions for RP or to play a DressUp simulator, we have SecondLife for that.

Im not talking down on Glamour, but I dont want this game to Focus on it to Heavily.
A game should be a game 1st and forthmost

I think they are mainly acknowledging that they have a heavy amount of RPers in game and that they are there for more than just content so they intend to expand upon that as well. I wouldn't worry about content being sacrificed for glamours and things like that, personally.
