Letter From the Producer Live Part LXXIX - 24 September 2023 - Summary and Discussion

Thank you. Surprised he even gets to show skin at all. Must have been too late to censor him.

So are they still in denial that Criterion Normal is Savage Difficulty, and Criterion Savage is just taking an already savage piece of content and adding even more wonderful endwalker "do it perfectly or else" design to it?

No, have you read the interviews this week? Yoshi-P knows that Criterion normal is Savage difficulty. He explicitly stated it in one of them.

Then why lock the rewards to the uninspired Criterion Savage Savage as if players are actually clearing the Criterion Savage Normal?

Im jealous nobody's called me cute in the official forums before

[OgruMogru]

I'm still crying I've hated almost every single piece of caster gear this whole expac. Weeping and sobbing and snotting!

Same reason they released this hot mess of content in the first place: they never wanted to but there was no other way to shut people up. They're using the same logic for gear now. DOESN'T THAT SOUND GREAT?????????

At this point the game really is becoming like Paper Mario Sticker Star: it seems like a lot if not all is being made purely to spite those who came before literally this post. That game was not fun in any capacity and it looks like XIV is heading towards that as well. You can't even jump on clearly reachable objects in many parts of the game. It makes no sense other than to annoy people the devs don't like. I actually went and logged out just to see if Thaliak was the deity I chose at the start. He was, and I'm wondering if I should even continue at this point.

C'mon Egil, this is couples therapy talk.

Thank you.
