“Touch grass” is an excuse. It’s a funny one—usually used ironically due to its absurdity—but still an excuse.

Let’s take this a step further. I’m sure that all of these parties are likely more fun than playing some video game, which is why everyone is going to them. Why doesn’t SE extend the patch drought so that we have more time to do all of these fun IRL things? No one should feel forced to play a video game against their will. It’s so nice that SE gives us the privilege of going outside.

(By the way, the developers live in Japan, and their holiday season is different than ours. You forgot!)

Quit being so obtuse about this. You (should) know very well that the DC launch was originally supposed to accompany a major patch.
Bingo! Something went wrong with this roll-out, and it’s not on us. And no, I’m sure we’re not “supposed” to know that. We’re not management at Square Enix Holdings Co., Ltd. (a billion-dollar multinational corporation), and neither are you.

What is your excuse?
Because DC travel severs us from all community features in our home DCs. We cannot talk to our FCs or message friends. We have to play content solo, which is a major caveat when we might otherwise have at least a friend or two on Dynamis to help out. It’s not ideal, and there is no reasonable excuse.

Cross-DC queues and parties need to be implemented as soon as possible.
