Thread: 6.4 Positive Feedback

Hello I wanted to mention some of the things I like about the patch so far. While these forums are mostly just negative I think it's important to let the devs know when something is good too so they know to keep doing it.


- The Pandemonium raid story conclusion was really nice and I appreciate the effort to give all the bosses voice acting, as well as for the important scene at the end. While the lion's share of VO will always go to the MSQ, these small additions really serve to enhance the experience of the other content.

- The new UI features to display job icons on nameplates, change nameplate colour based on role, hide nameplates for players in battle, and align the party list to the bottom, are all really great and much appreciated. I'm already making use of most of these, though I would appreciate more colour options for nameplates. I also like being able to double click portraits for commendations.

- It might just be because we're early in the patch and no one has any new gear yet, but the normal mode bosses across the new content feel a bit tougher than usual, which I greatly appreciate. I have felt that Endwalker normal mode content has been excessively easy and encounters die extremely quickly. Some of these new bosses provide what I feel is a satisfying challenge for a normal mode player, and I really hope this continues forward.

- I like that new plate and portrait elements are being added as rewards not just for old content like prior beast tribes, but also for some of the higher achievements in the game's various side content like fishing and mahjong. It's not only nice to have new goals to incentivize participation in this content, but it allows players who engage with that content a lot to show how much they like it with personalization options.

- The music this patch has been superb (though this is hardly unusual), especially Pandemonium which for me personally has taken the title of raid with best music overall.

- The contest winning weapon entries for the most part look really good and were adapted faithfully. I also like that for the first time it seems many of them use the names the contest entrants submitted.

- Decorating on the island sanctuary is great. I really love the registration system that allows you to copy items without limit. Don't have to worry about things taking up my inventory, and can freely place and remove and test things as much as I want without having to buy loads and loads of items. I forsee large demand for more outdoor furnishings in the future.


I haven't extensively tried everything yet so I will update if I have more to share.

I was really surprised by the island sanctuary changes, especially the decorating part.

We got the correct moon music, which is what I was hoping for.

I'm so happy with the Pandaemonium Normal difficulty fights this time around, I want this level of difficulty to stay! The story and music too have been excellent.
Definitely my favourite set of Normal Raids to ever come out of XIV!

I did really like the new raids, I'm super interested to see how they translate to savage, even if I probably won't be doing them myself.
The new trial was really fun as well, I'll probably end up giving this extreme a go.

I thought the new dungeon was very pretty. Loved the Final Fantasy 4 soundtrack remakes and story beats.

Haven't done the raids yet but seeing some good press. Looking forward to them this weekend.

Raids without cutscenes. Couldn't be happier.

Weekly removal coins from alliance (The Twelve) removed.

Far content to casually grind for 620 gear & casually grind Comedy’s while over time getting to 650.

Honestly there’s no incentive to grind on raid coins just for 630 when I can wait & get there for 650 upgrade.
