Why we are not allowed to have fun?

[Elissar]

First they changed how LB works in ultimate instead of improving the fight
Now they made GNB worse


why we are not allowed to have fun with your game design (that sucks)?
Worse, why SE is acting like blizzard, forcing their will against silly things that players do in order to have some fun?


what the f* is going on? is Yoshi P still leading anything?

Yoshida himself has said that the new projects and board work keep him too busy to pay much of any attention to XIV. He just gets wheeled out for PR reasons.

Yeah - those new projects that benefit from FFXIV's income generation, as opposed to said income being fed back into the game that generated it....

Square needs more flops so they can lose another 27% this quarter.

Only for that income to be wasted, since FFXVI suffers from same design problems and probably barely broken even..

It probably broke even just because it had a pretty small budget for a modern AAA game($59m dev budget, maybe another $20m-$30m for marketing), but Square still said it undersold.

This always have been the case. They make classes balanced by enforcing repetitive gameplay and chained to a singular style of mandatory gameplay. Be it in the fight design and your class rotations.

That's literally what everyone praised on this game for the past decade.

We should also take into consideration that a lot of the tech that was created for 16 is and will be used in 14.

So it can be a beautiful underselling IP just like XVI...

I cannot wait to talk to 3 people in glorious PSSR 4k...

I'm sure the tech created for 16 will show up in 8.something. Please look forward to it.
