The slow decline of FFXIV, a summary.

[Azurarok]

But telling people to "leave if they don't like the game" and acting all surprised that they still play is a fundamental misunderstanding of those players. They still play and yell at the devs because they still care. They'd have left already otherwise. And then it becomes a real exercise in hilarity when goalposts get shifted and you get told instead "then you're not playing the right game for you, just go play something more aligned with your tastes". There is no winning with those.

Expecting a video like this to bring something new to the table is completely jarring. Videos bringing up good points nobody thought about yet are all well and good, but the point of those videos is to get loud and be heard. It's to make a point across, not to write a thesis.

I guess Yoshi P forgot to add: "Act on feedback and complaints, on a faster pace than once every 5 year cycle"

Its a given that you SHOULDNT act on every random complaint or a game will become a mess, but repetitive complaints over years to add more QoL, more open world, more enterable buildings, Viera and Hrotgar hats, friendslist changes, all of it. Getting "Please look forward to it" is starting to really not cut it at all. I want to like this game, but the honestly DRY content and time between any MEANINGFUL content is actually crazy for an MMO where its supposed to offer you things to do.

Yoshi-P - "We heard your feedback and are going to try to act upon them much quicker."











"Please look forward to it."
