Cooking with Rokien!

Complicated for the devs sure, for the players, no. I've already said it could be a little much..... soo I don't see the point in you in trying to argue with me.

Yeah, when I'm looking for a dish on the market wards, I'm totally going to want to filter through a few hundred variances. Or when I'm trying to put some up, I'm totally going to want to set up both my retainers with the few hundred variances, just to make sure that I hit the market right and I don't end up with a variance that someone might not like.

And by the way, people in FFXIV don't eat food for taste or for shits and giggles. They eat it for stats. The stats have been designed in such a way that a particular type of meal is a PLD meal, or a DRG meal, or a BLM meal. Taking away from the stats that it provides makes it a worse option, and doing substitutions with different stats will only make it so that there is only one single best choice dish that everyone will always make, rendering the other combinations bad and worthless.

Food in MMOs is not like food in real life. If I don't like tomatoes in real life, if I tell the chef to omit them from the meal, I get a totally different end-result that is better for my desires.

Hey guess what, an easy fix, add a search feature to the wards.....


Also don't you remember "this doesn't sit well with you" They had it in this game a "taste" thingy

Way to address the rest of my post, where I said that it's something totally stupid to add because the vast majority of these combinations will go unused.
