Thread: DT worse then 1.0

The critic it being stale and samey (a critic that already existed in Endwalker) is valid but that hardly makes it "Worse than 1.0" a game that practicaly didnt function.
FF14 does still function even when it is plagued by a lot of design problems.

No, it's idiotic character writing, horrible story, and terrible class design on the other hand. Where it falls in the list is up to each individual player, but it's pretty clear most people place it pretty low. Definitely for a bottom 3 spot.

But the game is functional. which wasnt the case in 1.0.
Our servers are mostly stable, things run mostly as expected.

Mechanicaly we are still in the same lane since Shandowbringer were a lot of complains mechanicaly already appeared and they keept course since then.
While i think its not a good cause. Outside of the Story, mechanicly we are basicly on the same spot as in Endwalker or Shadowbringer which depends who you ask are the best expantions.
And to be fair we would need to compare it to early shadowbringer and endwalker as we didnt even reched 7.1 patch.

Not even outside of story. The story aside from the MSQ is pretty good.

They need to right ship in MSQ Post though. This is the first time since I've played FF14 that I'm not super excited for MSQ and that's a not great feeling.

If we judged based on server/hardware limitations, no game on the Switch would get above a 5.

And sure, the game ran like dog water, but you know, at least everyone could wear a hat.

lol I played 1.0

I still have the Collectors Edition sitting on a shelf. You have no clue how bad it was

The problem with Dawntrail is the WoW-i-fication of the story. Previously we had a reason for being in the story. There are multiple points where if you remove us from the story nothing changes.

As someone who actually played from 1.0's launch to now... no it is not. I get it. DT at launch has been mid, but it's not the worst thing written in history. Stop exaggerating to order to continue to feed into the hatred. Dawntrail's story felt like it was written by inexperienced people. It feels as superficial and repetitive as ARR did. That's my opinion on it.

Here's a 7 hour video if you want to judge for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vja5eQoJDso



Did you know Y'shtola used to be Neo from The Matrix?

1.0 felt like FFXI, except broken.
