Diofield releases this week and I was able to pick up Octopath Traveler on PC for half off on steam. Unlike the people who will doubtless come in here trying to paint you as somehow in the wrong or recommend content that doesn’t appeal to battle oriented players, I’m not telling you to “go play something else” as I detest when people throw that in my face whenever I complain - I’m saying that there are a lot of better games than Endwalker that we should be playing especially with how far the standards of gameplay and writing have fallen here. Keep speaking out, and keep pointing out how other games are doing things better than FFXIV is right now.
I mean, I hear you guys.

Imagine coming from XI, and your favorite jobs were Blue Mage, Beastmaster, and Summoner.

Blue aint even a job, cant do ish (Not one person on the dev team spoke up and stated "Hey, lets use resources on something else instead of a job that cannot be part of the main game?")

BST isn't in the game

SMN is.........interesting.....(I Wanna be nice today)

I play alot of mmo; 90% of the time I am on a hunter pet class (You guys can kind of see why me and XIV have not been mixing). The job design of XIV is, and has always been...Interesting...... compared to other mmo. I decided to sub up, to check out the Island, but there is no way I can complete the game playing jobs I do not like....

I usually stay on the free trial, unless there is a campaign I like, expansion, or in this case, some new content which resembles BST. I am not one of those "I quit!!!!" people. I usually come back every now and then. I am honest about it.

I am like every other FFXI OG; waiting for XIV to do something which can pry me from XI......But it never has.

XIV is going through a honeymoon period. Like WoW, people will eventually see XIV for what it is. Close your eyes, strip away the FF IP......Now focus on the gameplay....XIV aint so amazing, is it? Streamers are what took the game to stardom.

For years, I could not fathom how people raved about that generic Blizzard MMO. Until, the honeymoon phase took its course and people eventually stripped away the Blizzard IP and seen the game for what it was........ an old, generic, dated mmo.

Gameplay always reign supreme. XIV is by no means generic like WoW, but the job/class system leaves alot to be desired by this XI/MMO vet. If they let BLU do Main Scenario, I would full-time XIV, and play it with a smile on my face. Ironic the only job I like in the MMO, cant do the gist of the MMO. Like a cruel joke.

Imo, just my opinion.....they need a new direction with the class/jobs, even if that means a new voice.
