Say something negative about the game

[Deo14]

New animations and effects are too much. You cannot play anything 8-man with all effects on, 4-man is questionable too, newer jobs are just way over the top. Reaper really doesn't need to leave a chemtrails whenever he slightly moves his scythe, and SMN doesn't really need flashbang 3 times a minute. New asylum and sacred soil can be also really annoying, especially when they're stacked, and you can't even turn them off.

It's so good it takes up too much of my free time!

Well aside from my usual complaints I will go with one I just ran into on an alt. I can't do my level 35 Summoner quests because I haven't done the Navel. I am amazed this is still a restriction given in later summoner you don't need to do Coils for Bahamut or Phoenix to learn them and it seems really archaic given how easy it is to outpace the story and that I can easily end up in the situation of I can unlock optional dungeons and not have a kit fitting for them due to the odd "Must clear the Navel and Howling Eye" requirement.

Raids from Omega to current aren't real raids.

They are just tougher Trials calling itself "Raids"

It's because of how the devs dealt with Alexander Gordias and Midas back in HW. ( ´△｀)
Taking all the feedback from ARR's Coil, they created the Normal and Savage difficulties, with Savage being only for hardcore raiders and normal for casuals who want to do the story.
With the mixed reception to Gordias Savage and negative reception to Midas Savage in addition to the dwindling raiding scene, the devs started their current raid design philosophy with Creator Savage, with raids being difficult but still accessible to everyone with PUGs. (⊙△⊙✿)

Legit curious, though I don't know if you were there at that time:

Do you miss having an off party that isn't even gonna do the actual raid clearing the elevator in Turn 7? Trash is just trash. It's a literal waste of time.
Unless you're talking about stuff like the Eureka/Bozja raids, cause then that makes sense.

If you miss Coil style design all I can say is that I don't quite get it, but I can't really question a personal preference.

I think it's more of Coil and Alexander were more like a raid because they essentially strung together a sequence of party based activity to enter and progress through an area. Though IMO a fair amount of the raiding aspect was lost due to the tiered stage design. Even Coil and Alexander didn't feel like an actual raid when compared to doing things like Dynamis in FFXI.

That's fair then. I wasn't sure what kind of raid design they were talking about.

Alexander at least still felt like you're raiding an actual place, slowly progressing through the interior of a robot that seems to be a city as well, where people actually live.

The raids since then feel like a bunch of arenas with pretty skyboxes, loosely strung together.

Viera still can’t wear hats.

Glamor locked to certain races/jobs sucks.
