How is anyone fine with the 4-month patch delivery schedule?

[Kewitt]

I got out for dinner 1 or times a month and the bill is over $100 for just my hubby and I
I'm just saying there is a lot worse things to waste money on. Beside is it $60 or is it$7.5

You are don't know the quality or quantity of content coming. I know people who have endwalker who are 90 yet the sent time socially.

Its 4 months. If folks cant wait that long then go play other games, work, go outside get some air. Re-evaluate your priorities and focus on yourself a bit, I dunno.
The developers DESERVE some breathing room and personal time too!
It's been one hell of a ride they've given us thus far and I am more than willing to let them take whatever extra time they need to polish or rest or whatever they gotta do if it means this game will be just as amazing with the new content as its been this whole time.

Relax and give them some space D:

this. people dont understand that the developers are human too, not slaves made to constantly pump out content. good content takes time to make. id rather have to wait longer than have something rushed and it be absolute shit

I’d believe this if we saw actual content upgrades from the huge money bags they earned from Shadowbringers, but we actually saw a decline in content in Shadowbringers and in Endwalker, we are literally missing a dungeon set on release and the tataru glam is just a reused set. Like cmon now. We’re what, 4 expansions in, and they’re still reusing gear whilst at the same time not even making it dyable.

What dungeon set is missing? Also there isn't a direct correlation between a game becoming more popular to their requirement to automatically add in more content. Yoshi-P even verbally said it was a struggle to find more programmers in JP. Tataru glam? You mean a coat? Sure I guess they could have added in a new coat, but are people really upset at that? It's a jacket. I didn't even use the thing. If it makes you feel better you got a unique set when entering Elpis.

Edit: Wait, you mean the 89 dungeon set? They gave us AF at 89 in it's place so you actually used it for a bit. You used the AF set in more dungeons this expansion than past expansions.

The level 89 dungeon. We’d normally get a dungeon set for it but because they made the artifact gear obtained at 89 they decided not to give us the set. I bring up the tataru glam because typically we’re given it every expansion and it’s always been a unique gear set. Yet we didn’t get one in Shadowbringers and now in Endwalker we got…a reused coat. The elpis glam is unique yes but we’re always given some form of new glam set like that, it’s nothing new. We got the crystarium glam in ShB, imperial set in SB and so on. I wasn’t speaking purely on it becoming popular. I was speaking on it breaking record sales and somehow giving us less. I understand they need more people on the team but they’ve had years.

The thing is there is actually a lot of stuff to do, it's always the matter of if the content is something you want to do or not. I do my mentor roulettes every day, my future hubby probably won't do them. I suppose for people that have been around since 2.0 they'll likely have done everything there is to do or at least all the things they actually care about, and at that point if you got nothing that you wanna do, then unsubbing might be the option until there's a new content patch. Personally I've been playing for 2 years so I've still got a lot of things to do that I actually want to do or will try to do if I feel like it.

What are players who aren't going to do Ultimate do for four months in 6.1?

Development takes time.

1. Farm the alliance raid weekly for the weekly rewards and for the minions, orchestrions and other items.

2. Do the new story and side story quests.

3. Farm the new extreme trial 50 or 99 times for the mount.

4. Waste 10 mins every day on beast tribes, and waste 3 mins every week on custom delivery.

5. Get a new house at the new housing districts.

6. Learn and do the new unreal trial weekly.

7. Do the new expert dungeon daily, upgrade crafted gears to 590 and get the new minion, orchestrion or glamour.

8. Get the new TT cards.

9. Any content in the sub-patches such as 6.11, 6.15, 6.18.

[Momo_Kozuki]

I'm kinda... fine?


I'm speaking as a casual players who don't touch harder contents. I don't raid Extreme/Savage/Ultimate or doing things like Necromancer, so I have much less contents to do compared raiders.


I still do some daily roulette to cap tomes, get weekly MGP until it hits cap (half-way now), and do some normal-raid weeklies to gear up some roles I play often. I mix something minor into my playtime, like leveling Trust, playing TT cards, doing EW FATEs... I just don't do them on one-go, but do like one Trust run/day, or 5 FATEs/day. Whatever pace I feel comfortable with.


I plan to rerun the story in English voice (I played Japanese voice first) with an alt when 6.1 with Trust 2.0 drops, but I will need to see if Tonberry re-open character creation or not. And no, please don't talk about New Game+ if you feel an urge. It doesn't reset minor side quests and doesn't give me a feeling of growth through stories, level up and gear up. Period.


If anything, I appreciate the lax that FF14 offers me. I can play games I like, and writes small stories to share with my friends. You would likely appreciate the same if you used to play a Korean MMORPG where you will want to log in 3 hours/day for daily bonuses, doing quests on 5+ characters to funnel main, dealing with gear-worship toxic community that kicks you if your gear doesn't meet their standard, and you never get a break cause every break you take slow down your gear progression to become raid-ready when contents are still relevant (unless you're fine coming into a raid 2 years later where bosses are delete in one minutes)... No, I don't talk about Lost Ark. It was Blade and Soul I played.

As a WoW refugee who came in last year and finally caught up to a current content expansion, i'm leveling all jobs to 90, collecting mounts and glamour, doing all side quests in game, collecting all BLU Spells, finishing all the triad card quests to collect all the cards, maxing out the reputation for all the beast tribes, making my apartment the best it can be and thats just what i can think of as i haven't done a single deep dungeon outside palace of the dead floor 40. I haven't done any end content outside the MSQ and you know what? Sometimes I feel like playing Warhammer 2/3 or a different game thus that delays me finishing my goals in FF14. Like right now i'm crafting 194 collectibles for white scripts so i can get all the lvl 60 crafting tier gear and boy this is taking awhile. If I got literally everything done or at least everything i wanted to finish I'd unsub for a patch or two and pick up a different MMORPG or game to fill the time. So yes i'm ok with 4 months cause it surely beat what i get from World of Warcraft when i was there.
