Thread: 7.0 copium has got to stop

Seriously, I don't even know where people get the idea that 7.0 is going to fix or even partially fix the problems with this game, it's not just one or two people, it's like the majority of the playerbase.

If you don't like the game at all, unironically save yourself the money and quit now because at this point this game is irredeemable. There's literally no point in waiting for 7.0 to fix anything. Spoiler: they won't. Only reason to stick to this game is for secondary, non-game purposes.

Let me just spoil the ending for all of you: FF14 is going to start failing, slowly, Square Enix is going to put this on maintenance mode in like 8.0 or 9.0 or something, maybe they'll try to revitalize it but fail.

CBU3 has like literally no idea how to make interesting progression systems, there is not a single exploratory content or horizontal content that succeeded with the entire playerbase. They just don't know how. They also fired some devs and leads who disagreed with the vision of the game (rumor), clearly they're not open to feedback either. So don't huff the copium really, no need to wait for 7.0. It's already over.

Every game will fail eventually. Although seeing the way game has absolutely boomed with success in both ShB and EW, I see 0 reason why 7.0 will not follow same footsteps in terms of core design philosophy. Which will keep it successful for at least some time, even if the 'harcore mmo players' of the forum negativity squad will quit for real and not to return the moment next patch drops. Plainly put, its not a game for that kind of player anymore, because that kind of player is scarce and not profitable, while MMO is a very expensive genre, especially with modern booming game costs, and this game has only exploded in both popularity and profitability by replacing things that appeal to hardcore players with things that appeal to casual players.. Over next decade, you will see more games try to repeat ff14's formula, and not ARR/HW FF14, but Shadowbringers FF14, which over time will become the new standard of MMOs, just like WoW set its own with WotLK

Which is why we need a new MMO. I need something with better fulfilling content

I did not realize it is pro-casual to introduce housing lottery bugs, write the worst post-expac storyline we've seen in this game, and continue screwing up character customization for Viera and Hrothgar

How would you know as main PLD Lv63?
Jesus christ, stop. This forum is becoming worse than any MMO forum...and i said it based on WoW forum.

Heavensward post-exPac was not great too and the "critically claimed" expansion had initial failures like Diadem. Sometimes we have great post-expansion MSQ like Stormblood and Shadowbringers, but sometimes isn't that special. However, we still have great stories in such cases. In Heavensward we had the scholastic quest with a following up of church crisis and The Paths We Walk where we unlock Haurchefant emote. In The Paths We Walk the WOL travel the world to see how people are going on and the character is trying to find himself after a tremendous trauma. There is many interesting moment like sultana's perspective of ARR ending, camping, etc. Raid lore was better than the post expansion MSQ.

In Endwalker we received: Tataru Grand Endeavor, Omega quest, Pandaemonium and Myths of the realm. Side stories more interesting than the MSQ.
It is what it is, you can't have everything 100% perfect all the time.

Something I can worry about in 4 to 6 years I guess.

Troll copium needs to stop, if you dislike the game so much koros and TheNight use your own logic and leave right? Oh yeah you’re the same person lol. TheNight comments wanting to just see the game fail and your posting that it’s never going to get fixed blah blah so save yourself and leave then go.. leave you’ll be doing many a favour then because posts like this don’t do anything for the wider audience. At least Aveyond was pretty on the ball with their rolling statement of going when they said they would.
