Its only relic step 2!

[Kranel_San]

The time has come for a new director. YoshiP is too busy with FFXVI he forgot XIV.

- No proper relic grind (Shouldn't be this easy nor very difficult too)
- No relic zones
- Island sanctuary that's barely used for housing activities or even in general
- C&V Dungeons that are literally dead and unused in relic grind
- No clear direction regarding jobs. One job gets DoTs removed while the other retains it. One job gets cone AoE while others get their replaced with Full AoE circle.
- Homogenization of jobs
- Bosses of trials and raids following the same mechanics formula instead of feeling unique in their own way.
- Deep dungeon that's literally a reskin of the other two with barely any noticeable changes in gameplay.
- Remember the terrifying no-ears Hroth hairstyle? That's how disconnected the devs are from the playerbase, and they needed a full patch cycle to fix it.
- Viera & Hroth are still lacking a full support on helmets/hairstyles even after 4 years from release.

Sometimes I feel like the devs are trying to experiment on the game, and other times I feel they're just throwing anything at us because the fanboys will like it anyway.

Development on FFXVI finished though. It's been done for a long time. It's just some marketing. Yet nothing has changed in the patches.

- No relic zones

Obviously Island Sanctuary and C&V were instead of these because similar resources were put into them, such as User Interface development and bosses. I would like relic zones too but we shouldn't pretend they didn't use these resources somewhere.

It is literally going to be able to use up to 90 outdoor furnishings in the patch at the end of this month. From the latest interview it does not seem we will get anything more for now because they are going to be busy with the next expansion, but perhaps in a next expansion patch he will go further and get housing plots and interior furnishings into it.

You can't complain about both o.ô;

Don't worry guys, it's only this expansion until now!

There is literally no content worthwile to do on the island. The last patch just added some QoL features which should have been baseline on release. And 90 outdoor furnishing slots will not turn the island into housing. There needs to be a retainer bell, repair NPC and a market board. Also that you get kicked from the island when you are afk makes it unpleasent for a housing alternative.

The island is nothing more than a time gate for the Cowrie shop.

And if they really add new things on the island in future expansions is questionable. How much new content did Eureka, Bozja or Ishgard Restoration got in later expansions?

He's too arrogant to ever step down. He has been given nothing but praise with no one major offering any criticisms to deter any of that.

Exactly my thoughts. The next FF Online will be the final product.
