Why this Live Letter Matters

[FatalFatalis]

I'm so happy they adressed the Savage rewards, but they said nothing about Criterion rewards so I'm a bit worried. Still, I think they said there will be another LL for 6.45 so I'll use my Copium until then.

I like the maiming and aiming sets so I'm not super mad, but goodness gracious circlets all the way again huh.

Hell yeah, that sleeping bunny matches my discord name and my Viera since he's a sleepy one.

honestly, my only complaint is that I wish that the caster/healer didn't have a cape. our wide stances make them look dumb when the fan out (re. the lala) but otherwise this set's pretty clean, the aiming set in particular is gorgeous :0

Well, my question when I look at this is, if someone showed this picture, hiding the races- and asked you which game it came from - would you be able to tell? My answer would be "no idea"- it could be from one of any number of games, it's so generic. It just looks like a fairly recycled medieval concept, whereas we've had some sets that were more distinctive - even the Nier set, for example- so I would like something that deviates from the "healers and casters in robes, tanks in armor" paaradigm in future

I agree with you...I have a lot of love for this game but every single time it is the same old outfits. It just looks like reskinned armour or pretty close. Nier gear is so nice and I would love something along the line of the outfit similar to alphascape there are some really nice pieces in there. The robes need to go and also dancer's wearing bard gear has never worked for me.

Some of the weapons look really good (war axe, monk fists).

I'll keep being mad at the trash caster/healer gear.

At least healer have plates. I don't recall dps caster having capes besides rdm.

More than a trailer, more than "hype," what some players are looking for now is direct assurance that things won't continue the way they have this expansion. One of the key defining aspects about this game's history is how hard they worked to rebuild the trust that was lost after the initial launch - though sadly the issues with Endwalker's patch content has similarly worn down the faith of many players who enjoyed both gameplay systems and storylines that were done away with this expansion.

Sad to see then, that the live letter just seems to be more of the same.

Uhhh, you couldnt possibly expected something new from these devs, let alone this late into the expansion?
