/r/ffxivdiscussion: Square Enix Notification of Recognition of Extraordinary Losses

[DPZ2]

If XIV were made with the same effort as Baldur's Gate 3, it would destroy any MMO out there for years.

If FF XIV were made with the same effort, it would have been a stand-alone RPG in, um, 2018. After the debacle that was 1.x, I doubt many players would have invested in three years of "early access" three years after the game ended.

If you mean they should take six years between expansions (the "same effort" you're touting), it would certainly destroy any MMO out there. Assuming anyone would actually wait six years for the expansion.

yeah, people bitch and moan about "dead game" and "no content" even with the three years in between expacs as-is lol

xiv takes 3+ years and it's nowhere near the same quality as BG3. Morever, you don't need 6 years to introduce water hits fire aspected enemies for more damage.
