People are all so bored of the game and playing BG3

Congratulations, you two!!! The gate is well kept. I’ll just go back to mucking about in the (ugh) backlog with the rest of the filthy casuals. Thanks for displaying my point to literally everybody!

Again, explain how this is gatekeeping? You can't just keep throwing the term around and expect it to stick. It just sounds like you're a naturally bitter person who doesn't really know what the term means. No one's saying you can't do old/new content. No one said 'filthy casuals'. Well, you did. Sorry you feel that way about yourself, I guess. Sounds like a you problem.

Sorry, I can’t hear you from under all of this backlog.

Oh, another bait thread?

Don't you guys ever get tired of this? BG3 can't be that great - if it was, you'd be PLAYING IT instead of on these forums posting about it.

Yes, being "honest", I play FF14 because it's a good game and I enjoy it.

I genuinely will never understand people that hate a game so much they incessantly tell everyone else how much they hate it and how they like other games better, on the forums of the game they hate and constantly say they are enjoying other game(s) so much better than, by...spending their time making these posts instead of playing those other games they supposedly like so much better.

If BG3 was as good as you say, you'd have been playing it instead of making this post.

To be fair, BG3 really IS that good. They are just trolling.

Yep. It's a great game and something FFXIV could really learn from in terms of offering characters that don't just automatically agree with the player character at every turn and who even clash with each other. There's something for pretty much everyone since there's more of an effort to appeal to a broader range of personal tastes. Something a fair few of us have been requesting FFXIV to provide over the years, I'd note.

It's also pretty normal to look at what other options in the industry are doing because there's always things that businesses can learn from each other.

I've been enjoying it a lot. Although I'm taking a short break to play some other CRPGs in my backlog while they do the usual Larian thing and patch some stuff in that didn't make it on release and tidy up Act 3 a bit. But easily the most fun I've had in a CRPG in a while.

Still hope they flesh out Minthara and that route more generally later on as I intend to go that path on my inevitable drow playthrough.

Yep and yep.

But, many of the other posters are correct in their assertions that the dev team is releasing less engaging content while the significant patch cycles are getting longer. FFXIV appears to be in low maintenance mode. This is a shame because, as a casual player, I really like the MMO. The attitude S.E. is taking, that we could always play other games, strikes me as complacent and a little arrogant. It's shooting them in the foot.

I have never been less impressed by post launch content than I have with EW. So yeah, I agree.

well to be fair...Post EW launch you did have your lead developer and some of his team working on another game. S.E. only weird decision to me is FFXIV has been their bread and butter bringing in the cash despite many...and i mean MANY failures of other titles yet Yoshi-P has stated he can't get a budget increase from S.E. to implement more stuff he would like in this game. They would rather invest that money into flops like Forspoken than the game actually making them money.
