This game has ridiculous amount of problems and one of the first and foremost is making new player experience atrocious at best.

When new players (if they even come at this point and its not a random alt who is a sprout so they trick you for free gil) come, they instantly get:

- 30 minutes to 1 hour of cutscene where they haven't done anything nor touched their keyboard.
- Pure boring text box that you have to read.
- No voice lines or anything.

When a new player tries this, it becomes a boring start. On top of that are these dialogs with no voicing. But they will soon hear: "just wait until you come to later expansions, it will be great dw. Its just 100+ hours until you get there... but trust me bro, it will be better". Thus why they decide its best to stop and play something better.

Then they might decide to skip the story and pay for skipping because this is in the store for a reason.

Any other "small" issue is unlikely to get fixed because it's too much hassle for them. So don't expect any renovation or better things. Let's not kid ourselves with 8.0. It will be same junk that we got as dawntrail. It's the same old boring formula.

- Free companies, grand companies, retainer system and everything else will receive again no changes
- 1 new ability at level 110 and rest are just fillers with more potency
- 2-3 dungeons and 1 trial which are again pure corridor type dungeons.
- Classes being even more homogenized and dumbed down.

We all wait for 8.0 as it may bring something good, because YoshiP constantly derives on the lies. New "unique" combat experience, talents points,etc. yeah even if that comes it will be in some god knows 8.5+ patch so enjoy waiting for it.
