Another interview question about Ultimate

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Honestly, I don't know how the devs can create 15000 hours of content for me to consume, yet that is my playtime on my character.

Really the only way to make content last longer is to either A, make savage require savage gear to clear, which is basically what killed gordias, or b, make them have rng drops for everything, which you know, people hate.

[Arillyn]

Content does not require you to play 24/7 but gives you the option to. You have the option to collect all mounts, relic weapons, minions, TT cards and orchestrion rolls, or just do the new quests once and logout for a month. I think there is still plenty of 24/7 content if you try to collect everything.

No, but I get what some are saying. I dabble in just about everything this game has to offer. Not all of it at the same time though. And I can no-life like anyone when a new expac drops and for about a year to year-and-a-half after. But then I get to where I've done just about everything I feel like doing and I'll take a bit of a break until the next expac. And while yes some people's definition of "not enough content" is really "not enough content I personally like" - that doesn't mean people are wrong for wanting more of what they personally like to do. It shouldn't come at the cost of other content other people like to do of course. It's a hard balancing act that I don't think any developer is going to be able to fully master.

[Kyuuen]

Yup. It doesn't help that you have to go digging for information if you want to keep up to date, either. A recent interview, for example, revealed that we won't be getting a Beast Tribe finale quest in 5.5 despite it being a tradition in past expansions. It might seem like a minor thing to many people, though it's just another bit of content thrown to one side.

I'm hoping and expecting that 5.5 and 6.0 will be good. I just...really want more stuff outside of the MSQ's.

To be fair on that front, most tribes added in ending patches have typically been designed to be catch up mechanics for quick leveling crafters and gatherers; or were moogles added earlier... I don't remember, but in Shadowbringers that mechanic was baked into Ishgard restoration. Whether that is for better or worse is another topic. Not that I'm defending the choice to not add a new tribe either.

Theo was talking about the allied beast tribe questlines we'd usually get access to in the x.5 patch after maxing rep with the tribes we already had. Moogles were added in 3.3

Did we have one for Stormblood? I honestly can't remember. I mean I know I did it if we did. But... I can't remember. Maybe I'm getting old.

We did. I think it was mostly in Kugane and involved some crime boss in Kugane or something? I think the guy who was paying Yojimbo in the Kugane Castle dungeon? My memory's a bit hazy on it. I think we got some kind of emote for throwing gil around.

[MrThinker]

Yup we did. It honestly wasn't that memorable imo, but we got that "scatter gold" emote from it.

[Vahlnir]

I'm pretty sure we did, yeah. For the life of me I can't remember what it entailed though.

[Arillyn]

Ah thanks for the reminder everyone. Yes I did it. I have that emote. But yea, I can't remember what it entailed LOL. I remember the Heavensward one better.
