Out of touch? PLL

[ReynTime]

Eureka came as a content any player reaching lv70 could start, tailor made to be done in a party of players, in a game that until then nurtured a culture that any content that wasn't high-end raiding could be done solo/without player to play communication. A game with field zones that always had 0 sense of danger. I still can't believe they were surprised by the negative reactions.

Anyway I'd be a lot more positive towards the game if they had a whole team dedicated to field operations so they could keep those around from X.1 onwards for the players who like that long-term slow burn MMO within the MMO experience. Love Eureka and love Bozja (a bit less).
If I could have that, I wouldn't care how bad the rest of the game became.

I watched the PLL finally (in Japanese). It didn't seem YoshiP is aware of the problems DT has (or just wanting to ignore them).
It would really help him if he just says "I hear your complaints and I need to think through them, but you won't be ignored" or something of the like.
Just an acknowledgement would help.

never happen.
He would never imply any issues that would involve throwing a team or two under the bus

Let me see....
Frontline is considered as casual and that is a large chunk of activities.
Housing is also another large piece of casual content
Mahjong is also another large chunk of casual activities for Korean/Chinese/Japanese players (2/3 of FF14 population?)
I think it is just people not seeing the activates they want to do

Thing is though, most of what you list up there are side activities. There should also be content where you use the skills you acquire during your leveling phase, really. The core part of the game is playing our class, one way or the other.

Have you realize how any of those is PvE content, which is the entire focus of the msq, job design and character progression?

Side activities are just that, side activities and can't compensate for the lack of a main activity

(Let alone how some of those examples are awful, housing is very gated, frontlines arent properly maintained nor balanced and no one pays an mmorpg sub just to play mahjong)

These nevertheless still count as casual activities whether you agree or not
These do not requires same amount of effort as Savage content
The number of casual actives clearly out number challenge activities
It has been over 10 years and they finally gives 24 men Savage a go
Just one patch there is no casual PVE don’t mean this game is not heavily design for casuals

The thing is, the state FF14 is at the moment they cannot afford to make a patch that dosn't give casuals something that keeps them occupied.Not when a patch takes like 5 months to make nowadays.
- Making a few hours worth of MSQ and Hildibrand+ a new dungeon that may or may not have a glam at all that is not a recolor is not enough.
- Custom Deliveries? It takes like 10 minutes at best on a weekly basis.
- Beast Tribes? Yay another 10 minute endeavor on a daily basis.
- Alliance Raid? 20minutes weekly because for some reason in 2024 they still think its a good idea to have 1 gear/week loot restriction on it. Not to mention what if a player dosn't care about FF11? At least with Endwalker alliance raid as easy as it was, it had a story that was interesting and it was connected to FF14. This is just Nier all over again. The story most likely be that we take the Goblet of Failure, travel to the coincidentally 11th shard and beat up a bad guy for being bad, sprinkle a bunch of memberberries and thats it.

You cannot expect players to be satisfied with this much, its awful by default and timegating isn't exactly helping. I would gear up my alt jobs but guess what, tomestone cap.
It would not be so bad if most players didnt had to use up their backlogs at first during covid and then during Endwalker, but they had to.
The content is dry for years now at this point. Anyone who wanted something from older content most likely already got it and they are not going to collect some random old relic they dont want or aim for necromancer, just to have a goal.
