Whats going on over there?

So no Female Hrothgar until next xpac although we were told otherwise at the beginning of this cycle.

Relic step locked behind a seriously unfunny and pointless part of the game that has the community up in arms the moment it was announced.

No new actual relic world building, nothing akin to Bozja or Eureka.

The new Criterion dungs are just copied from WoW's Mythic + content.

It may be time for the developers to decide whether they want to focus on FF16MayCry or their "magnum opus". The latter reeeaaalllyyyy feels to be stagnating at this point.

Weren't people crying up in arms about content similar to WoW Mythic+ though..?

I think it's too soon to say what the relic questline will and will not entail.

Pretty sure we weren't.

“Of course, we did consider adding female Hrothgar as well.”
“But again, we had our hands full with doing the male Viera, as well as the game. However – that said – we do plan to find an opportunity to add them in the future. We will be bringing the female Hrothgar. They will not come at the same time as the male Viera in 6.0, but it is coming.
“There was the option for us to wait until both were finished before releasing both of them at the same time, but we decided instead to release them one at a time, as they were finished.”

1. Where have they said that, I don't recall them announcing that Female Hroths will be making a drop on this expansion.

2. Same with you and all the other soulless people that doesn't have a sense of humor, you can just skip the cutscenes.

3. This is something that FFXIV is lacking, actual fun challenging dungeons and not braindead dungeons that you can w2w pull and spam one button

Dunno why people play this game if all they do is cry about every update that comes out. People are never satisfied.

Why would they add female Hrothgar before the graphical update?

I don't play WoW so I have no direct idea how Mythic+ works, but I've seen so many requests over time for FFXIV to copy it. So it's hardly fair to complain that they did it.

As for female Hrothgar, I'll join the chorus saying there has been no promise of any specific time frame beyond "they're coming later" – and logically the constant rate for new character model releases has been essentially one per expansion, but grouped in sets of two, so the pattern could have been that we got Au Ra x2 in 3.0, Hrothgar/Viera in 5.0 and Viera/Hrothgar in 7.0, but instead we got male Viera early. If female Hrothgar come in 7.0 they will be right on schedule.

It's strange...people complained about relics just being the same old Eureka style content and that it was getting bland...they dropped that here and there's still complaints of it being bland. Also you do realize modes can exist without being copies of another game yes? It seems no matter what they add that's new folks will say "oh this is just a copy of X game". Almost like you complain about a stagnant game yet want a stagnant game. Idk it's odd

Just because criterion dungeons are competitive high-end dungeons doesn't mean they're copy & paste from WoW's mythic + dungeons based on what they told us today.
In fact, even if it turned out to be copy & paste mythic+, you'd have to realize it's one of few contents (The others raiding and PvP) that has and is carrying WoW right now through the mess of expansions which speaks a lot about the feature itself.
I'd say it's time to stop doomsaying and wait for the patch because there is a lot of unnecessary doomsaying right now. Having baseless negative expectations and points of view will affect how the patch is going to be perceived when it goes live, which will lead to further mess.
Sure the devs didn't make great decisions sometimes, but that doesn't mean they make bad decisions all the time.

Happens, better later than unpolished and bad.

Highly subjective point of view there.

Maybe wait for later updates?

What is wrong with taking good things from other games? Not like WoW isn't also a copycat.
