Official 10th Anniversary Survey

[Blossoming]

Did you do Island? Figuring out which ones need some fresh air time was probably the hardest decision I had to make there lol. Also trying to release them in groups I'd think would get along.

I was actually very hyped for island so I had been doing that, I think I just was expecting it to be a bit more involved than it was so I felt like I lost interest in it as content which is unfortunate because honestly it was what I had been looking forward to most with endwalker. I really disliked the whole weird little minions being everywhere, was hoping to see to see actual crafting and gathering implemented to it as well which I honestly was kind of surprised it wasn’t. Argument I’ve seen for that is people not being leveled/locked out, thing is it could be like beastmen tribes where it just scales to your current level.

This was a pretty fun survey. I really liked the raid boss question. I wonder if they would actually write a short story about Ultros, Typhon, Enkidu, or recording node if they get submissions for them.

For now my friendlist still active with the same 10-12 players online depending on the hour...i have a mix of every type of player. Personally i don't feel encouraged to log in right now.

For side character i answered Unukalhai becase every arc is complete. Some characters are too powerful to keep around (blue bird) some cool ones are dead (blonde simp). We know enough about the scions, there is nothing new to be add. I felt attempted to answer as Fordola/Arenvald.
It's an awkward question to answer after the end of 10 years of lore. There is no hole in terms of characters development, fortunately/unfortunately.

My choice of side character was Fordola, without hesitation or question.

I wanted to pick Azem but they weren't on the list.

So I see a lot of posts on here annoyed about the questions asked in the survey, so I went back and re-read the Lodestone post for the survey. It mentions this is a survey for the 10-year anniversary celebration. This sounds like to me, it's just meant to be a survey celebrating the joys and hardships of the last ten years rather than a feedback survey for the current state of the game. I imagine the featured character for example will probably be a story about them enjoying the in-game celebration and reflecting back on it, rather than some brand new untold story from their point of view. That said, I lowkey expect Emet, Y'stola, G'arha, or Zenos to win just from knowing how this community is.

The problem is that it comes in a time where the patience of players has nearly totally eroded, and even some long time defender of the game begin to say there is a problem with the current state. With the 10 years livestream being delayed, this survey just seems like a lame joke . It's just super bad timing. But they created the conditions that lead to this. We would have had that exact same survey 3 years ago when it was the 10 years including 1.0 - so during ShB - and nobody would have complained. The context matter a lot here.

Well, who did you pick? Lol

For a later storyline?

Mother Miounne.

Mine is Cirina, I love the voice actress and I'd like to see changes in the steppe.

Hmmm, on a second thought it could be Gosetsu, It's been a while we don't meet the big boy around and he was doing a pilgrimage of sort.

[Vahlnir]

Not sure why my choice of minion is relevant, but if you (SE) really need to know about my wind-up Bahamut, then okay. I guess. Or something. I feel like this survey overall was a swing and a miss. It didn't really ask anything with any real substance or importance. That said, I voted for Gosetsu. I was never going to vouch for any of the Scions at this point.

[Fourbestintoner]

Am so glad SE care more about my favorite minion than what I think about job design.
Which character I want to see more of? What about characters I want to see LESS of? You know, Graha, Alisaie and every single ancient shit, get them out of here.
