The Men FFXIV Needs

[HeyMcFly]

The requests have been drowned out bc they've been small threads I'm guessing
Or bc the japanese playerbase hasn't requested it, it's not a priority. They like their femboys

The SE team seems to have a hard on for stubble or faint chin hair but nothing else -

Cid Garlond in XIV is the only man to have a full beard & eyebrows. super sus

The funny part is that the JP side says the same except Yoshida only caters to the west. lol

Yup and there is the problem with SE they dont have any clue at the management part what their customers wants and only good dev's made the diffrence for them.... for that reason many SE games feel like "that is cool but why the heck is there this BS??" every SE game has it and FF14 is no diffrence. In my opinion they should play more the game and watch how people play but hey this would cost money and the SE management cant afford this- "smoll indy company pls understand but pay for merch and subs and we have shop please use it, thanks" And the same shop makes spending money almost hard work, SE is paradox wants my money but does a lot of stuff to make it harder almost like a trial.

As Yoshida - san has said repeatedly, they DO play the game all the time. He said as much in an interview.

Yoshi himself tours the servers, I am told ( not sure if its true, as I wasnt there ) that he has been to Materia ( Ravana I believe ).

So yes, they do play.

Hmmm, not sure but some of the stuff we received lately and some of the job changes and state of some jobs, says otherwise or he is tonedeaf on blizzard level. Idk but hey my opinion, your opinion. Take care.

Admittedly I know very little about this game or its characters – given that it is a mobile game I will not expect much in terms of their development, but what can be said is that they have a very masculine visual design. Broad chested, defined muscles, and hips that are proportional to the rest of their bodies unlike male Au Ra.

You got my vote, Aveyond-Dreams, but I don't think anyone's explained this about Granblue Fantasy's Draph.

Yes, they're big burly men, and the women have a particular aspect of their body be drawn large and disproportionate. But their lore is honestly interesting. Their horns are power measures. They're stronger the larger those things are, and while it's not always applied (Threo, an Eternal, has fairly standard, even if larger-than-most horns despite wielding ridiculous amounts of power by story standards), when it's applied, it's done in interesting ways.

This guy, Mugen, is an absolute adorable manchild, and his story is tragic as all hell. But don't get him mad, or he'll literally nuke the city and its vicinity.

But he's the worst one. No other Draph is that ridiculous.

Basically Draphs are Roegadyn Au Ra with power meters.

Either you dont read, or you didnt watch the video. It isnt my opinion, Yoshi has STATED that they do play the game.

Fact, not opinion.

I spell it out more clearly, if Yoshi is playing he is tone deaf in my opinion. Example: Healers, old content needs love, Blue Mage, Glamour, Housing, Jobs.
Yoshi is tone deaf on Blizzard Level in my opinion. And what we see is a stroll on servers, i speak about clearing Savage, playing extremes - playing the game as we do and lets be honest i man with his job (Director in 2 tripple A games) i highly doubt that he has the time. So yes most likely he is streteching the truth. Even if, i think there some things going south and Yoshida-San is ignoring them or dont know in both cases same problem as Blizzard. They dont know who their customer are and how their customer are playing. This my opinion. Take it, leave it. No hard feelings.

IF? Thats already been proven he does.

Example: Healers, old content needs love, Blue Mage, Glamour, Housing, Jobs.

Thats your opinion, not fact and not established. The comments on jobs etc are diverse, and anyone with half a brain knows better than to try and design anything based on the cacophony of opinions and theories here alone. What you see as a problem, others wont, so whom do they listen to?

Hm?

So yes most likely he is stretching the truth

..aaaaaaaand.........you just blew any credibility you had.

They dont know who their customer are and how their customer are playing.

I think they do, far more than you will ever realise.

This my opinion. Take it, leave it. No hard feelings.

Ill leave it. Your opinion is yours alone, and whatever you may think notwithstanding, you havent told me what they will do with other players who disagree with your hot takes.

Game design by committee..especially anyone from THIS forum?

HARD PASS.

Ok, no problem but i had my fair share of 12-14 hours days almost the whole week with a lot of responsebilities and mine are by far not on the same level as Yoshida-san and i can tell you : you will not play, you just cant. Your body and your mind needs a break after such a workload. Thats my expierence. I guess he plays some encounter here and there and thats NOT playing like a customer. In my opinion every customer plays more and diffrent content then he does. I just use reallife expiernce to say, yes he plays but not very much. How could he with this workload? Thats in my eyes just not possible but i am just a stranger on the internet with an opinion (like billion other people) so i may be wrong. And no argument of yours convinced me otherwise at this point. I am very interested why you believe he plays the game like we do ? (this not sarcasm nor an attack)

Back to topic: OP is right, please consider it SE.
