Live Letter Hopes, Expectations, and Concerns

I still find it laughable you all are waiting for better hrot/viera hairs.

You already gave them plenty of money by fantasia-ing into them. They're not spending time on that. And, didnt you see the way the DEVS laughed at you when they show the 2B hair on that female hroth? Stop being masochistic.

Oh no. You can rest well assured the new chosen race will continue to get updates. They already have 7x the amount of hair options hrothgar have in CC, let alone Modern Aesthete options. Its only hrothgar who should give up hope of the dev team ever giving a crap this decade.
"It'll take longer to make new hrothgar hairs if we keep ears" because 3 years wasn't enough time. We still cant even get our basic racial options on any facetype. I will be thunderstruck if hrothgar get even 1 new thing in 6.2, let alone that thing being worthwhile.

I've been watching people make the same mistake with Island Sanctuary that they made with Cyberpunk, where it gets announced with no information and people spend the entire time until release making up the perfect ur game in their heads that could never possibly exist, so that when it actually comes out and it can only ever disappoint no matter what it turns out to be. I hope it's fun content, but I mostly hope that people don't lose their minds when it doesn't turn out to be the MMO Animal Crossing / Harvest Moon successor they're expecting.

Is DC travel still suspended? Curious to see if that will ever come back.

It's going. Has been a long time now.

Well to be fair Cyberpunk was Horribly mismanaged and got pushed back...idk...5 times?
FFXIV has a better track record of getting us excited, then showing us more information just before the next patch when it launches. And...often times its a success.

It's probably not likely but I'd be curious to know what they were planning on doing with the DRG/AST reworks, even though they've been pushed back to 7.0

[Striker44]

Yeah gotta love how patches get spread extra thin as ppl burn though the new stuff in no time, as theres just nothing else to do...

Say what? I've been playing on and off since 2015, and this has been my main game for almost 2 years now, and I still have a plethora of things I'm looking forward to doing. I have crafting and gathering classes to level, ARR and EW sightseeing logs to complete, finally figuring out Lords of Vermilion, finishing the physical DPS role quests (1 level to go), and that's just a few.

In the end, though, this is more of an "us" problem than a "them" problem. Simply put, some people will just go all-out and burn through the content immediately. No human on Earth could create content fast enough for that kind of person. Acting as if that's somehow the fault of the dev team for not providing "enough" content for them is silly. Take your time. Play some other games. Read a book. Get outside. I take my time with the content (just discovered the 6.15 Omega and Tataru quests yesterday, it took me almost until 6.1 to complete the 6.0 MSQ, etc.). And I find there's always more to do.

Taking your time with content does not magically mean there's a plethora of it. You've simply chosen to artificially delay your playtime. For anyone who actively plays the game for more than a few hours a week, FFXIV doesn't have anywhere near enough content to last a month. Playing other games is all but a requirement due to the sheer lack of longevity in almost everything they release. Case in point, 6.1. You, specifically, may have taken until now to do Omega and Tataru's questlines but both can be completed within two hours. In fact, everything released in 6.1 outside Dragonsong can be done in a week or two even at a slow pace.

Square still yet to provide any sort of reasoning as to why they don’t release the relic in 6.05

This still baffles me. The one piece of longevity based content we can build towards and they wait an entire year into the expansion's life before we even start. I'd be all for making the damn thing match or even exceed the Savage weapons in odd patches. Anyone who cares has long been done with the tier by then. Why not make them relevant on top of being released significantly earlier?

There's only one thing that currently interests me and that's if there's going to be a collab between FFXIV and PSO2:NGS announced, considering that the latter has colalbs with video game franchises announced (One of them, Melty Blood, was just announced recently) on their roadmap.
