Recognizing parasistic game design decision

[Wavaryen]

ok then. When is the last time they added new features to Palace of the dead. It can be parasitic design but also not be abusive because it is optional. Do you think they are ever going to add new content to Eureka? Bodzja?

Palace of the dead is not a core or supporting design feature of Final Fantasy 14. It falls under optional content but without a doubt it has been abandoned with no hope of any changes.

Because it does not need changing? It is design for players who enjoy it. A title that you can get out of it, if you pick to master it. And can be used as a leveling tool. Also some people use it to make some gil.


Like what more do you want in a game? It is content, that has value.

There is nothing stopping the FF14 devs from having floors 1-200 be lvl 60 with leader boards....Floors 201 to 400 be lvl 70 content and so on. It could very easily be continuous content that would be a mammoth task to overcome but it would be considered CORE content.

Each of the 200 floors could be designed completely differently to fit that expansions theme. You have to remember deep dungeon was completely abandoned in Shadowbringers and we have only gotten vague promises for Endwalker.

HoH is the level 70 deep dungeon. Again, these things are not meant to be ongoing, they are self contained side stories, thus zero reason to add on to them. If they are going to add another Deep Dungeon, it will not be tied to either of the previous ones and will not be core to the progression of your character.

I agree, I would like another Deep Dungeon, and yes some content has been abandoned. Aka our ranks and such. I do hope it expands, but right now they still have value. That is more than wow borrow power system.
