Biggest feature update to FF14 is just another row on the tome shop

Stop now, SE.

Was it much different when we would spend tomestones on a bunch of different tokens instead?
- Singing Clusters
- Umbrite
- Archaic Enchanted Ink

Or running dungeons to earn a token (instead of expending tomestones)
- Bozja memories
- Atma book credit,etc

It is all the same when you think about it. If anything, we have MORE story than the ARR or HW relic quest.

You are... SO wrong with this statement.

Manderville weapons are made from some sweaty oiled men bath water. That's some A+ grade writing right here. While I don't want to criticize that approach, assuming that these quests have more story than the whole arc about creating and nourishing Anima or recreating weapons wielded by heroes of old is just wrong.

The ARR relic quest line was funny with Geralt though its just the atma and light farming bit are a bit overkill.

Personally I'm glad that the vast metaphysical reality that has been created by relic weapon quests has room to incorporate mystical man water into the system. It makes me smile and makes just as much sense as any of the previous quests, so for me that's a win!

So when's the step where we buy mythical Unobtainium that Rowena has somehow obtained in large enough quantities to put on a vendor for the most common tomestone in existence?

I don't know if it's the biggest feature update, but it's a little disappointing that we are here at a another tomestone grind.

fake news

Don't care, doesn't matter. Still the best MMO, still better than WoW. We have a 100% rating on OpenCritic. I've been playing for hours a day every day for 12 years and I still haven't ran out of content. I literally cried 20 times during the MSQ. Also, we get CUTSCENES in this patch. The story is amazing, it's literally the best work of fiction ever written. FFXIV is an RPG first and an MMO second. Everyone loves the story. If you don't, you're welcome to go back to WoW. Oh wait, what's that? Shadowlands? Fruit bowls? Bobby Kotick? The Cosby Suite? Yeah, didn't think so. FFXIV won, WoW lost. Shadowlands flopped and Dragonflight flopped harder. What else... reads from notecard This must be a troll. All opinions against FFXIV are trolls. Yoshida literally saved the company with ARR, you should watch that documentary on YouTube. flips notecard Also, FF16 just came out, why aren't you playing that? This is just a 0.05 patch. That means there's way less content than usual, so you should be playing other games. Still more content than Shadowlands though.

true facts

So true!

Singing clusters have other options to them do they not? I seem to recall the two girls having repeatable quests on the daily/weekly to get them involving other content should you wish not to burn tomestones. I also find it odd you leave out Umbrites partner in crime Crystal Sand for the step which had a whole menu of alternate trade ins of varying items so you could spend the poetics on Umbrite instead. I will give you Archaic Enchanted Ink though, that to my knowledge has no other acquisition method. My point is I would be fine with this if I had an option to not use my tomestones that made me go do content I feel needs help with wait times like SB/SHB instances.
