Thread: What are you hoping for/expecting from 7.0?

I don't expect it for 7.0, since we just got a melee job in EW and they go in cycles, but; I want a melee DPS job focused on brute force and heavy weapons. Reaper and dragoon are more about sweeping strikes, monk and ninja are about rapid attack combos, and samurai has more cast times than current summoner. I want a DPS that skips the fancy moves and tricks and just hits things really really hard.

I'm really curious to compare and contrast Endwalker release days with 7.0 release days.

As far as expectation goes?
Cutscene->Teleport->Cutscene->Teleport->Cutscene->Teleport->Cutscene->Teleport->Cutscene->The worst Solo Duty conceived by man->Cutscene->Teleport->Cutscene->Teleport->A TikTok sized dungeon-> rinse and repeat.
Same patch release consistency, same overall design, same ol' problems.

Hopes?
That they reconsider/rethink all the above.
A true fresh start, storywise.
New job that uses scouting gear.

Honestly I just want more consistency in the story telling remembering other quest lines exist and a more grindy relic then just tomestones or options outside of just tomestones to complete it. I would love a Eureka/Bozja with a separate path for the relic to those who don't like that content. Bozja was so close but missed the mark with story happening in said zone. Also should the relic return to more grindy adding the tomestone weapon upgrade sooner to alliance raid token exchange so more casual players do not feel forced into relic as part of their gearing.

I guess if I had to ask for anything though I would like my carbuncle to do something again aside from looking cute at my side. I understand being cute is probably a full time job for carbuncle but I miss seeing it hop to the target and attack.

That one red dude has a hammer in Prae. Where is me mallet?

My headcanon is that Nero straps hammers to the ceiling of his boss room for no better reason than to drop them dramatically whenever he feels like making a point. Every so often they slip and crush some hapless underling. Gaius makes Nero write the letters to the family.

*Hammer drops down slat his feet*

Man! That looked so cool! It only took 247 tries, three toes, 37 soldiers, and the floor 5 times...but worth it!

Unrestricted glamour besides weapons and off hand.
What is the point of restricting a dragoon's handgear to dragoon's glam only, for the sake of class identity, if we all can be swines or elephants or wear pijamas, bikinis and whatnot while killing the hell out of everything looking stupid

Things that should be addressed, but they'll keep ignoring:


- Less writing decision interference from higher ups who are, frankly, not qualified to shove in their input to butcher what could've been a good story (EW, I'm looking at you).

- No more brain-dead game designs that literally make me fall asleep.

- Fix your glaring healer problems.

- Hrothgar and Viera remain incomplete races. Fix them.

- Less sunken male Highlander faces with actual eyebrows.

- Hire more game-design devs to your (probably overworked) indie roster of 4 members. Probably homogenized so many jobs because of the sheer size of the balancing mountain FFXIV has become.

- Stop cheaping out on your QA testers.

- Bring back Bozja-like content.

- Please stop making this into a shonen anime. That's not the reason why I play FF games.

- I want assurance that SE won't use AI to write it's stories.


I'm starting to feel FFXIV won't have any value for a player like me anymore. 7.0 will be the breaking point for me, and if they don't address the healer issues in fan-fest then I'll refrain from purchasing the next expansion.
