I dont do things one time, I do things several times, cause I like it, and I want the stuff in them.
So.. what is the difference with the patch cycles of the other expansions?
I just want them to make extreme trial roullete with good rewards. After endwalker drop, as a free trial player i cant experience any ex fight dammit.
I love final fantasy xiv
Here comes the: "You're rushing it. Have you tried doing PotD? There is old content as well. You don't do crafting and gathering that's why you are complaining, Yo do know you can go fishing and Gold Saucer? Casuals players around HW still have lot of content left; it's not a problem for them".
C'mon, guys. We all know the issue here, let's not be dishonest. The game will never improve if people keep praising this half-baked expansion as if it were the best one yet
I disagree somewhat. Unreal is actually pretty good rewards, and is a solidly fun reclear experience for the entire patch. For the extreme I mean weapons are good for alt gear, and quite a few people will farm them a lot for the mount.
More people should try big fishing, hundreds of hours of content
this patch as a f2p is huge
Watch the FF14 Community try to rebuttle Xenos statement. Stay blind you white knights. Your game will die if this continues.
Man, you don't even half to play this game by this logic lol
And we sacrificed Endwalker potential exploratory mission for this…
It's been the same repetitive, useless content since like 2.0 honestly, the only "good" content is when they add something that isn't your typical dungeon, trial, raids, and alliance raid. I love this game but I physically cannot bring myself in doing anything else that isn't ults because it's the only thing that's even remotely difficult and doesn't put me to sleep, and even then, the experience and journey to reward ratio is pretty mediocre.
okay there GIGA legend raider. the fuckin game doesnt have to cater to you and you alone.
I think part of the problem is that the additional desire to runs is wholly based on what you want.
Do you want the mount for EW's trials? Yeah, you'll grind that trial. Or if the music is good or you like collecting bardings, but I don't think Xeems cares all that much about it. I myself love grinding that shit and I like having a full barding/orchestra collection but not everyone does.
Same with the A-raid: If you only care about gear, it's not that useful. If you want pets/rolls/glam/etc? Yeah it's a little more runnable.
I think part of what they could do is maybe make some of the drops only in treasure maps available or rare drops in current content. Or have some sort of rare glam that exclusively drops. For example in WoW, you can get mounts/toys/etc that rarely drop which encourages you to run them.
Do I think Xeems is exaggerrating? Yeah, a little. There are reasons to run/farm these things. But do I think he's wrong? Not at all.
The way i see it as someone that plays on and off both WoW and FF is that WoW takes more risks, they can be hit or miss, but they can keep things feeling fresh, while FF only tries to go for hits wich are safe, but that kind of thinking makes things feel stale and predictable after a while.
I remember the good ol days when Eureka and Bozja was endgame content :/ sigh
It's bizarre that they spend so much time doing the same disposable content over and over again only to reåplace it with more of the exact same disposable content. That doesn't feel like a very smart way to design content to begin with.
While I agree with the general sentiment that Endwalker lacks more grindy, long-term content like Eureka with relic grinds and unique group activities, I also think calling a lot of our existing content one time only is a bit too much.
Unreal trials are great money if you do them twice every week, extreme trials you can farm for mount, which could be up to 50 kills per patch, alliance raids give good rewards for casual players and glam enjoyers and new dungeon might get farmed a lot by people doing expert roulette, which could be people who wanna get geared up for savage raids but took a break during 6.4. Sure, a lot of people might not want to do any of these and I would definitely like to have more, but lets not ignore the possibility that some of this content simply is not meant for you.
Guys just play other games, that’s what Yoshi P wants
Such a raider opinion.
Well they're almost done adding duty support to every dungeon, do once that's done they can at least take the resource allocation that's dealing with that and divert it.
I think alot of people in the above commemts are missing the point that was made. Even if you are a casual player, making this one and done content isnt good. Yes it may work for you, but just how raiders arent the only people who play the game neither are you. They need things for people to work towards in this game otherwise you get people just afking in limsa all day or just not logging on in general. Not very good in the grand scheme of player sentiment for the game. It also lacks content later for casual players once they do eventually catch up to the most recent patches cause no one will be around to help them do it, mainly because they were told to go play other games which they are

WideDinkDonk HE'S LOOPING! WideDinkDonk
All kidding aside, FFXIV fell off as soon as they nuked the Relic. Critirion was a joke, Deep Dungeon: Eureka was barely passable, equipment system needs to be more meaningful and we need more long term content that everyone can queue into from the low casual, midcore to the hardcore raider. Everyone wants to shit on Bozja/Zadnor as being trash content, but what do we have now as long term content now, nothing. Unless Yoshi-p gets his head out of his ass and makes changes that doesn't waste the players time, but rewards them with playtime+effort=reward, this game is dead.
I mean, by that logic there's no point in doing anything in the game. Not even once.
new extreme totem after a savage tier should be able to exchanged for tome upgrade materials tbh so that people actually give a shit to farm it like 10x totem for a tome upgrade mat would be fair i think
The white knights are exposing their huge desire of running duty roulettes 4 months at a time
Well yea you do it one time and that's it, content drought again. Then we go to your relic videos saying it's the best relic cause you hand in 1500 tomes and you have it. See where this is going? People complain about not having to do a boring ass endless grind. Then the devs hear that, give the playerbase the chance to not heavy grind something and then we complain about no content. I don't know dude
i'm not a huge fan of reclears, so for me its fine that content is one and done. (like criterion savage was fun, but i cant imagine having to regulary reclear that shit).
That’s the main issue with EW compared to other expacs. EW content has 0 replay ability
No Eureka/Bozja
Criterion/Variant you do once and it vanishes
Eureka orthos was piss easy and the design made the experience on different jobs the exact same (total opposite from HoH/PotD)
Relic weapons steps are just tomes
At this point the only “content” I really do anymore is WT and some roulettes
Imo latest extreme trial needs to have a weekly special drop. It is such a wasted opportunity.
I mean, if the lack of a single piece of content (Eureka/Bozja) is what leads to people feeling like there is nothing to do, isn't that indicative that the issue is less with Endwalker itself but more with the game in general? I think EW just kinda showed the cracks that have been forming since ARR.
Also LOOP WhoAsked GoodTake pepeW etc
Looking at a lot of these comments is pretty sad. People still don't get that the fact xeno and other streamers critique this game because they want to see it go further, they don't want the same repetitive cycle of content that can be guessed for years to come
Most people are far too quick to judge "go play another game", "okay well that's YOUR opinion" " you only do one type of content"
He and others cares about the community as a whole. Need to stop being so offended when people critique this game
The current "expert roulette" dungeons are so easy it's actually shocking. Dungeons like Holminster Switch are somehow harder than the current endgame dungeons.
But people run stuff like the alliance raid and unreals more than once, no? I mean like the average player, not people only seeking end game. Or do I not understand the game? Legitimately asking.
How many jobs we have now? The game allows you play all of them in one character but the game itself goes against it when you want to gear them. Give us access to upgrades to tomes gears. Make it a grind, I don't care. We need something good for a drop. We need rewards that are worthwhile. Help us gear other jobs or make up another path to BIS or something.
Personally, I just hope that whatever content we get is good. More replayability would be nice, but it's not like I don't have other stuff to play.
You don't farm the mounts then I guess? Unreal lasts forever if you do it weekly. Extreme lasts from 1 to 99 times depending on how lucky you get. Yeah dungeon is pretty 1 and done. And I'll be doing the alliance probably 5 or so times to farm the coins for twines. Even if I've already cleared the tier I think it's fun to try and BiS out every role before the end of the expac. While I agree it could be a little better. It's not that bad.
I pretty much agree with this. All this content is way too finite as of now and people just don't bother because there's no incentive to redo them or even just engage with them for very long. It's the problem we have with Criterion dungeons, and it's the problem with most of EW's content too.
As long as Limsa Lominsa ERPer are fine to just afk there and occasionaly pop a roulette queue, this game is not going anywhere. If we add to this the fact that raids are easy and disappointing, I rarely see the reason to play this game if not a week every x months (and that's not good albeit whatever the developers say with the "play other games in the meanwhile" bullshit
Really, the only thing missing in EW is an exploratory zone + the accompanying relic grind.
We have Deep Dungeon, Variant, Criterion, Island Sanctuary, 2 Ultimates, all of which, SHB didn't have, for example.
But the problem is that the exploratory zone + accompanying relic grind, is highly desirable content that is also a pretty huge time sink, that helps players have something to do between patches.
Yoshi-P talked about plans for such a zone in DT, I believe. So if he and his team go through with that, then this may be one of the most content packed expansions to date, since he already confirmed that all the things we have in EW, will return in DT (like Deep Dungeon, Varient, etc.).
If it wasn't for my alts and the moogle tomestone event, I wouldn't even be logging on my main for these patches.
Repeatable middle of the road content with decent rewards that doesn't die off either withn a few days to a week or after a new expansion comes out would be great!
While I hope the devs are actually listening to you, Zepla and all the other major FFXIV streamers/youtbers finally giving voice to a long persistent set of issues, at the same time. I can't help but feel like the devs will wind up having to learn the hard way and it'll take at least nearly half a decade for them to realize this when both veteran players AND new players start to stop coming into the game because of its beyond overly linear, boring PvE game design.
Xeno for 14 president 2043
Yep the main problem is the lack of relic farming. In HW & ShB relics pretty heavily encouraged running older content which kept a nice flow of players in the game.
I get that they made it generic Tomestones so you could do anything to farm it but ironically it doesn’t change anything, the people who were farming them already are still doing the same things (hunt trains) and the people that aren’t aren’t doing much anyway. There’s just a huge lack of cross play between the types of content this xpac.
Did he RACT to Zepla's videos on FF yet?
Hence why I don't play anymore. SAME THING… Over and over and over again. BUT I do still watch the CUTE STRUMMER!
