If they need the players to quitt before changing that then they should never direct a video game again because they don‘t care for it in the slightest.

In all these discussions all are only seeing the immediate money but forget about PR.

There are entire departments and external agencies specializing in that for a reason.
If your game has a bad score and several videos not liking it next to social media burning then that is a big problem for the devs because Square itself will probably want answers for that from them.


We aren‘t talking about some ingame outfit here with maybe a handful of people unhappy.
We are talking about the big advertising thing of the game, the expansionstory with LOTS of people unhappy.
Then, if there are enough people or reasons for concern they will change stuff.

Also, what does a small majority mean in numbers, do you have any data to back this one up?

You can say a lot of things about SE but not that they don't care. It's just impossible to accommodate everyone. It's okay not to like the story. I didn't like ARR either. I've quit 3 times over it. I dislike a lot of the systems they have here also, but I have chosen to focus on the positives and the stuff I do like and I do enjoy. If there is a better option for me out there, I will choose that because at the end of the day SE doesn't owe me anything, and I am not entitled to anything.

Also, review bombing means little in the long run. Businesses only understand money and profit, as they should because that's why they are called a business.
