Something that gets missed in threads like this is the ever-growing number of people who have simply ceased to engage with this repetitive content.

I recognize some people like this kind of fight design. But naturally you're not seeing feedback from people who are sick to death of it and avoid it.

My closest friend in the game basically gave up on dungeons and trials at Origenics. She has no interest in the story so has decided to focus on the many elements of the game she does enjoy.

I've finished 7.2. I thought Recollection was complete garbage. I did M1N and that was it for me for the Arcadion series.

I don't know how bad the decline in player numbers is because nobody other than SE does. But when I don't know anybody who has any interest in dungeons, raids and trials, I figure it's a pretty bad sign.

If Cosmic exploration and the field exploration content isn't really compelling, the continued miserable fight design is going to have serious consequences.

maybe you should look at the partyfinder and see how many groups are doing hard content right now, the people who are actually playing the game don't come here and complain all the time unlike you.

Did you clear Zelenia on EX by now? i don't think so, i have 21 clears already.


Origenics is probably the worst dungeon this Expansion (so far) mainly because how gated and empty this slog is.

Yes I've gathered from our other conversations you like this content. I'm not saying you're wrong since it's a matter of personal preference.

We also clearly value different things and have different goals. To me, clearing any fight 21 times seems like a colossal waste of time. What's your current score on CAR? 84? I mean it's great you get that much value from the game, but to me this is completely incomprehensible.

And no, why would I even attempt Zelenia EX? As I stated above, I thought the normal version was garbage.

FWIW the people who are "actually playing the game" (whatever that means) are doing plenty of complaining. The huge number of threads related to visual accessibility are a pretty clear sign something is very wrong. My point was that, for the most part, the large group of people who have stopped engaging in this content are not coming here to complain. They've either ceased caring or have left FFXIV altogether.

This can easily be solved if they allowed players to change the color of telegraphs (without plug-ins), Orange on Red / Orange floor is always a problem visualy, we had that same issue with Phoinix. I don't really look at floor telegraphs for the most part, so it doesn't effect me a lot, but i understand the problem.

Bad color contrast is one of the problems, yes.

Phoinix released towards the end of 2021 iirc.

There are obvious solutions to a lot of problems in FFXIV.

That doesn't help if they are not implemented,
