Why this Live Letter Matters

[Alleluia]

Someone, somewhere, spazzed out over that glam. Not me. Probably not you. But someone.

(The body piece has some potential at least. )

I'm really loving the gear they have here. That yellow one made me immediately think of The Bouncer, and I practically had my jaw drop that SE remembered that game.

I can't believe I've lived long enough to see nostalgia for The Bouncer.

That SCH weapon definitely didn't translate well from the contest design at all, looks like a block of wood instead.

Anyone else kinda excited to see aveyond mald yet again now that the LL is over and NONE of the things he wanted didnt get announced?


Even though we already knew ahead of time exactly what 6.4 was gonna be about anyway?

what is with yall's obsession with aveyond ? like if you dont like his posts you can yknow, just block him ?

But no, you hate him so much that you cant stop talking about him and responding to him, you just have to, you just have to give him even more attention by talking about him non stop, it's just weird seriously

All in all, tbh, I see not much to do in 6.4. : (

And Yoshida saying we should play other games again and again freaks me out slowly.
I don't want to play other games just because the Devs don't take enough time for 14.
Other games are expenesive though. FF sub costs enough...

No one is surprised, "go and play other games" means "we cant create enough content so sub for a week then go away for multiple months because we cant create decent content"

it's a lazy cop-out that people eat up every single time and use as an excuse for the absolute mediocre content this game gets

Yes and that's annoying....

When he said that, I joked in discord VC with my friends watching the LL together: "Okay, sponsor me those awesome 'other games' then, LOL."

Yeah at this point all that I can do is grant his wish. There's absolutely nothing for me to do in FFXIV other than taking an hour to play through Pandaemonium once it releases because you couldn't pay me enough to tolerate whatever is going on with Zero and the accursed dragons in the MSQ.

So congratulations to them. They have made so many bad decisions this expansion that as one of their long term fans that's been mostly subbed for the better part of the last decade, I will be taking an indefinite break after May 23rd. This isn't the outcome I wanted, but it's the outcome they deserve after stacking so many mistakes on top of each other.

You want me back? Start rebuilding my trust by making both a decent MMO and a decent RPG and then put it together. With the apparent loss in profits SE has suffered recently, FFXIV was the one ship they couldn't afford to let sink. I look forward to reading up on the state of their economics next year and seeing what an expansion's worth of content drought has done.

I wanted so desperately to be positive about the state of things. I wanted Endwalker to be the best of the expansions of Season 1, and instead this is where we are. All while I have to tolerate people who blast me for calling for a return to form. Not like they would bat an eye if things in Endwalker were more akin to how they were in the past - no one could possibly complain about having the wealth of content to do like in Stormblood or the coherence of any previous expansion prior to throwing in time travel and random anime plotlines at the last minute.

Finally something I can upvote.
