FFXIV patch content in a nutshell

[RareItems]

I think they are sacrificing content development atm to make up for the graphics overhaul in 7.0. lol.

That better not be the case or I won't even have to wait for a ban...I'll walk out the door myself.

Yay I’m losing content for 2 years for slightly higher textured grass the unmentionables did better in 2018

We're paying our sub for a year of no content so free-trialers can play the game all the way to stormblood without one. >.>

You joke but I know plenty of people who genuinely believe this is a fair and much needed trade off. People are very serious about their graphics. I know another faction of people that would sacrifice an entire patch just to get chat bubbles as a built-in feature of the game outside mods. I don't agree with giving up content for other things but trust me when I say there are people who would think it's a worthy price to pay.

Cutting content for an entire expansion with not much to do isn't that good of a trade off for a graphics update when the graphics update doesn't look like it's that much of an improvement over what we currently have. There only updating the shaders lighting and slightly updating textures to most likely native 1080p instead of the ps3 muddy textures we have now. Which the lighting/shaders portion just looks like there applying gshade/reshade filters on top of what we have so it's more likely they are taking what the modders are doing with shaders and taking ideas and applying those ideas to the game.

If they do a very good job with it then I'd say it was worth the sacrifice. This game is really in need of a graphics update after all.

It would also definitely play into them making the game a life sim lol. Not that I'd mind as fashion is endgame and a good graphics update would be great, but it can only go so far if it's the same bare content routine.

That's true. Ideally, it would be great to have both lot's of new content and a great graphics update, but my expectations for SE being able to deliver have long since waned.

Glamour is endgame but I really wish it wasn't. I accept that it is, but if I knew that before I started this game I probably never would have started playing it in the first place.
Frankly, it feels less like glamour is the endgame and more like RP/ERP is the endgame because the glamour usually goes hand in hand with it.
