It is live!

In... what way? As a dedicated crafter (you can tell by the fact I have melded the maximum possible amount of CP in accordance with a build provided by other people who are better than me at math), all I see are positive QoL changes that might slightly shorten my dedicated super elite pro high-skill crafter macros that I dedicatedly run in the background while watching youtube. And make gathering the hundreds of mats I need and the crystals I'm always short on take slightly less time. Oh, and you forgot to mention a new feature that will let us see multi-level recipe breakdowns without having to use a third party site. At long last.

Oh nooooo... Crafting is doooooooomed... It will become a bit more accessible, attractive and maybe even fun to all the... - ugh! - undedicated plebeians! Scandalous! Unthinkable!

Hey! Someone who thinks the same as me. Nice to see people speak the truth and not shy away from it. Crafting is for us and us alone. They can not be trusted to inherit our macros...

You seem to not understand that there are players out there that actually enjoyed how crafting used to be back in 2.x - 3.x. Now, my 12 year old niece can HQ something. I’m glad players like you are enjoying the “QoL” and the easier changes, but at least respect the opinions of crafters that actually enjoyed working hard for what they have back then.

Personally crafting has officially become a children’s mini-game, and that’s fine, if that’s what direction square Enix wants to go, I respect their decision. However, I will not continue to keep paying a subscription for a game that does not seem to care much for me, like I have been. I’ll likely only play when the yorha raid comes, occasional patches, and that’s about it.

That Nier raid OST sample!

Nier Ost has always been one of my favorites. It has a sense of soul in them despite how sad, grand battle like, or happy they maybe.

Liking the changes too, especially with Ishgard Restoration coming. It seems the best thing to do, in order to get more into the idea of crafting and gathering. And for the 'dedicated' there's that leaderboards thing or whatever it was to reward you for all your hardwork. No casual will be making their way onto it before you so you can still feel special at the end of the day.

I welcome the simplified/quickened crafting/gathering because botters already tend to have an excess of materials/crafted items so it stands to not really benefit them as much as it does actual players.

I guess the thing that irks me the most is they brought up the next trial and the next Ultimate, had entire slides dedicated to them... just to say they're secret. It's coy stuff like this that makes me, at the end of the day, okay with data mining. Ok, the trial I can understand, it can lead to spoilers, but the Ultimate? Why? The Ultimate is strictly old content, so...why so secretive about it?

Why even bring either up then? Why have not one, but two whole slides that say "secret" on them?

To build hype, and let us know it's coming.

I don't always agree with them being secretive, like when they teased a new Gold Saucer attraction and everyone was thinking blitzball only for it to be mahjong, but in this case I think it's better not to show off a fight that's usually kind of a spectacle.
