Thread: JP interviews [pre-6.5]

I actually enjoy the tomestone weapons. I don’t like grinding much so this relic tier was perfect for me. Someone who doesn’t have time to grind for hours and hours daily especially when you play multiple jobs.

I do agree with you though about leaving people who like the grind with nothing. I hope they can find a middle ground to satisfy both sides.

Anyway back to the OP:

"Extra content" is probably just going to be Make it Rain, more moogle tomes etc etc but I guess I can huff a bit of copium and hope it's something fun or engaging.

Something something yoship already said something was gonna be hard and it was royally overestimated. 24mans have been a joke on patch, I'll give the team a clap for their first 2 arena designs in Aglaia but everything else has been... circles... oh wait, Halone was a square.

Whoo nice criterion rewards increase will now give 5 tokens instead of 4!! Or whatever, I actually stopped trying to prog the fights because effort >>>> rewards.

Oh boy, if they make final MSQ trial a trust one, I guess 14 is just a single player game. They might as well implement the mod that removes other players on your screen, no need to see or play with anyone else in my single player mmo.

Relic... no comment.

IS... lmao.

One way of solving the relic situation is to tie the first one you choose to the story and you get it after completion. But once you go for more you now have to do a grind. I think that's reasonable.

I got to be honest, I don't understand their dungeon design philosophy. It's a game. A game has fail states. What's the point of playing a game if you cannot loose?

A new player doesn't equal stupid. And even if that were the case, by level 60 you should have a rough idea of what you're supposed to be doing. Why are new dungeons also being treated as tutorials?

I will never understand how people can praise this step, I believe this was just overkill. Shouldve just been 2 or maybe even 3 runs not 8.

Even worse if you don't want to do DR because you don't want to waste time farming those essences. PotD should also be a guaranteed drop though really they needed to put in a dungeon option like the raw emotions. Only 2 incredibly bad options is ridiculous. I'd take the ARR book step over this step.

I am glad that they are considering adjusting the reward track for criterion. that's a step in the right direction.
