Dead? maybe not. Dead to many players? definitely.


The worst part is the Dev's and Yoshi ignoring the feedback they requested. Silence, not even acknowledging it due to Damage Control of the backlash from over 145 Samurai threads / 10 Youtube video's on Samurai / and the JP forums being on fire till this day on their megathread going over 200 pages of post s.

Gameplay that's deleted while it being downplayed by the usual repetitive rhetoric of the once that don't care for preserving or improving FFXIV's gameplay whatsoever.
  • Ehh, looked up FFlogs or not, SAM still performs
  • Square can't do no wrong ook-ook monkey noises
  • It's just 1 Button, right?
Players who genuinely cared were the once actually saying anything about it. Like Yoshi-P said quote " the silent leave first ". We were requested to post feedback on the forum, and met with dismissal and mocked simplified to just stfu basically since no matter what gameplay experiences were lost, " you're fine ". Great sparkling community.

If players want to dive into their nihilism? that's completely fine. It does get old to hear the same lines from white gargling stained mouths gushing over a company they been sucking on that seemingly can't do no wrong. But hey, I still enjoy Sam, I just have no faith in the current SE team.
