Stuff we have lost each expansion since shadowbringers

[GaiusDrakon]

The devs decided to put in Manderville, of all things, before a new Bozja equivalent. That should tell you all you need to know about priorities.

Is this a self-own

also nice one comparing HW to EW its the ultimate cherrypick

i know you don't dare to compare SB to EW

either way though thanks for proving my point. these lists count every piece of content as one bullet point and you did literally nothing to debias your representation (like imagine even putting tomestone changes in that list)

but typical white knight lmao what can anyone expect

Do you not have google? This is literally the patch notes as written on the wiki.

If you’re gonna troll, try harder. Or, you know, read what people talk about over several posts before jumping to “omg you’re a white knight! Meh!”

And again, full expansion comparisons , I think most people appreciate being able to run all dungeons with NPCs much more than a few niche zones they’ll probably never do anyway.

LMAO

STATE OF FF14

People unironically value playing with NPCs in a massively MULTIPLAYER online game more than entire zones worth of content and 48-man raids.

Losers lmao

Yeah, you didn’t know? You’re surprised Casual Game made for Casual Play is focusing on Casual Content?

[KitingGenbu]

I wonder how that next limited job is coming along.

On a more serious note, I think the development philosophy and approach has to be understood with this particular team as opposed to how other companies develop/design their game. The major thing is that all their development (including cosmetics for other regions like Korea) are all done in house. When you couple that with the team also staling out development time, not to give them more time to work but more time for breaks, it starts to make more sense as to why the game is heading in the direction it is, good or bad. Plus we do not really know much about how 16's development has impacted 14's. With Yoshida leading that up, its not far-fetch to think that some of 14's development team has been working on it as well. Could they organize their situations better? Sure, but that's just how things are over there. Maybe things will get better by 7.0 but honestly only time will tell.

Are you actually saying you're fine with a multi billion company encouraging players to play with NPC's instead of you know making the content fun ? You are not a white knight, but you dont know what an MMORPG is either, in an MMORPG you play with players, not with NPC's in dungeons. If you want to play with NPC's just play a single player game.

[Voltyblast]

Hard dungeons removed since shadowbringers. these gave variety to expert roulette. Devs gave some stupid bullshit excuse on why they removed them.

This hurts a lot because I remember hearing them saying that while we would only get a single dungeon per patch we would at least get better ones. Well So far they've been all mediocre and nothing was improved from what I see - heck Troia City has only 2 real bosses! This also makes Expert Roulette pointless because before it did make sense, as you'd have 2-3 dungeons per patch and the whole point was to split into new dungeons vs older dungeons. But now it's just meaningless and I wish they'd just make expert and level 90 a single roulette already.

It's impressive how older dungeons were not just more challenging, but overall better designed too. Not all of them were but most of them are still a joy to run - at least when the queue pops up.

Yes. The reasons for this are obvious.

[Bopsheezi]

Yes. The reasons for this are obvious.

Seriously, I don't think people like Storm realize how insufferable other people can be to deal with.

[GaiusDrakon]

Yes. The reasons for this are obvious.

We know. The game needs to let you and grandmas with Alzheimers be able to play the game at their pace and finish Sastasha in 80 minutes
