FF14 should learn from Palia to how....

[GTK0HLK]

There's a Balance to be met, I played palia back in its alphas.

But it's all different today.

What matters, is what they do with it today, or how the system allows them to potentially pivot, if they don't upgrade the foundations at all or not.

[They never stated any foundational changes far as we know. so we can't say much on that end]

Just like Island Sanctuary was never Meant to be a Stardew or the other game I forget. We had no need much additions since they never gave us an option in some regards

edit:
which is to say, sure, some aspect may help in certain content. but it wouldn't affect the overall game in a whole way.
Leading to a variety of things that feed into things that don't necessarily give back to each other. thus becoming very rarely used, despite having many fans.(Like Criterions placement in the raiding/Gearing factor. or Island Sanctuary not necessarily having much to it that is personal, or complete and leave. asides from those of us who farm cowries.)
