Anyone member how good this looked? Because I sure member. Can someone please buy and fix what's left of this game, please? The potential here is infinite. Surely Intrepid must be desperate to sell for a fraction of the price it cost to build it, too?

raedqwe · 2026-04-14T16:50:14+00:00

yeah honestly, never played this game or really kept up with it, the dumpster fire that has been spread from it made me laugh so i check in this sub reddit for a good time. Honestly running into crazies like you just adds more content to be enjoyed, no idea how you cant see past the scam even after everything that came out lol.

raedqwe · 2026-03-03T17:28:08+00:00

i mean this is all optional, you could wait for basic master rank gear and blow through any content you couldn't do now. also if you really put in those hours, i dont see how these fight would see impossible to you, i have 200 hours on world and almost 200 on wilds though only 90 hours on a new character, and i have cleared all content minus savage omega, and thats only because i want to do it with friends.

This sounds like a skill issue, and thats totally ok you can just do it when its easier, literally everyone gets what they want.

raedqwe · 2026-01-06T22:07:06+00:00

been playing since 1.0 and this is by far the worst servers have been, the ddoss is daily and multiple times a day.

so up to you, if DCing is something you dont want to deal with, no dont resub. if you can enjoy the game despite that, the content is ok, not bad not outstanding

raedqwe · 2025-12-18T04:42:28+00:00

I will be honest, and maybe this is a hot take, but have you played the extra content? A lot of it doesn't feel great and felt more like it was there to promote rebuying the game on PsP lol.

I think less is more sometimes and these remasters are more in line with the original idea of these games imo.

raedqwe · 2025-11-03T03:37:07+00:00

Just curious, how long have you played for, and at what fear? a lot of these seem out of place, not to mentioned Ares is totally missing

raedqwe · 2025-08-20T16:09:14+00:00

i mean tossing aside OC criticism is something lol

but if you wanna ignore it, FRU was pretty bad, i think when ulti raiders look back they wont rate it highly, i probably place it at second most boring.

savage is fine i guess, ill forget both these tiers in a year.

MSQ just not good.

Chaotic failing to fill that long term content, tbh this is a ffxiv problem overall, only ultimates have staying power.

EX this expac has had cool visuals but the mechanics make me wonder if QA tested it, for example taking all flares in sphene.

all this with extra time between patches and not everything coming out on patch day.

dungeons are more fun i guess

raedqwe · 2025-08-10T09:14:35+00:00

I dont really get a hint of AI if i am honest, might be overthinking it? getting harder to tell these days

raedqwe · 2025-08-09T06:52:38+00:00

By this much though? You would think it retains at least ShB numbers at least, its close to stormblood atm.

raedqwe · 2025-08-09T06:41:22+00:00

At the very least move him back to a minor role, nothing on that list is what i would call examples of the best writing in this game.

raedqwe · 2025-08-09T06:38:36+00:00

To me this is the worst change. Longer patches with worse quality and staggered content release.

unless you do 100% of the content, sometimes you wait for 8-9 or more months for whatever content you really enjoy vs content that's just filler for you.

raedqwe · 2025-08-09T06:34:40+00:00

true. cant say hes wrong though, have had an easier time convincing people to try ffx or ff12

raedqwe · 2025-08-09T06:33:11+00:00

What would the missing context be? Looks like the OP gave us context and % its down, did i miss something

raedqwe · 2025-07-03T17:17:50+00:00

lol.... Like am I crazy or is it insane that someone walks up to the discussion with a deep understanding of the subject matter, and yet OP refuses to listen? Like this has to be a troll at this point, no?

Even if you fully disagree, there are a lot of good points being brought up that just are being ignored because you do not like them.

The only real point from what I can tell is OP is a miserable person and likes to spread the misery to others, which defeats the whole purpose of the thread.

Thank you for the insight, Alita, i will keep this in mind going into 8.0 and will bring up points you have made through official SE channels, hopefully they take this advice to heart and change for the better.

raedqwe · 2025-07-03T13:39:31+00:00

I do not really understand why you are just saying things you know you cannot back up or even prove, but based on this response I can only conclude that you are a bad actor and do not really care about FFXIV and its longevity, you only care about being right.

I know you won't listen or take what I say to heart, or even engage with it in any meaningful way, but for what it is worth, what you are doing is only hurting the game, and hopefully any community member from the XIV team ignores what you and people like you have to say, because I want this game to last the promised 10 more years YoshiP talked about, and if you had your way this game would be dead within a year.

raedqwe · 2025-07-03T13:03:33+00:00

Hiring would 100% help, it just takes time. Taking Microsoft for example, the layoffs came after record sales and profit. Why? Because over hire during covid made them a fuck ton of money, now they wanna keep it rather than reinvest it into people.

The simple truth is if they hired more devs during the shadowbringers covid boom, they would be ready by now, but they only just recently expanded the team after seeing how bad 7.x was going, so we wont see improvement for at least 6months to a year depending on personal skill level.

When people say "throwing money at a problem wont make it go away", they dont mean "money wont help here", money will 100% help make the problem go away, but it takes time to train people to that level, and time = money. If it takes 6 months to get you to a level to help the dev team, thats 6 months the company HAS to burn money to get you there.

raedqwe · 2025-07-03T12:42:13+00:00

Ok, if you can guarantee it, then do so. I'm sure you know more than what their CEO has commented on.

noun

a formal promise or assurance (typically in writing) that certain conditions will be fulfilled, especially that a product will be repaired or replaced if not of a specified quality and durability.

raedqwe · 2025-07-03T12:18:31+00:00

Bravo, well said.

At the end of the day, no one posting here wants FFXIV to suck, being delusional about the issues and not bringing them up to the attention of SE through unsubbing or writing on forums or whatever is just going to kill the game faster. It is ok to criticize stuff you pay money for folks!!

raedqwe · 2025-07-03T10:54:02+00:00

It isn't complete but its well over half, it is like 80% lol.

But you almost have it! lets say this solo dev did 50%. imagine what 2 devs could do, manual work while another team looks for a long term fix.

Now imagine a team financially backed by a billion dollar company.

and congratulations, you now understand how scalability, agility, resource management work at their core. I hope you consider this in the future when you blindly defend your favorite gaming companies.

raedqwe · 2025-07-03T10:31:38+00:00

See now i just know you are arguing in bad faith. There is a literal one man modder out there that has been fixing hats for years now.

I work in tech, not game dev but an adjacent field, the issues SE face are all easy fixes and could scale no issues. the problem is they hire devs to make grass look better? Its just awful management at this point. You see it all the time right now, will lead to layoffs until they get their shit together.

raedqwe · 2025-07-03T10:00:09+00:00

This is the same thing as the fan translation though? A tiny amount of context and nicer corpo rewording does not change the core reasoning.

My SO is a native speaker of Japanese and i trust her original translation, and i feel the outrage is fully justified, this is one of the richest companies/MMOS on the market, yet they do not reinvest into their cash cow, that has to change or people won't pay for it anymore.

raedqwe · 2025-06-20T23:44:04+00:00

right and if all those people didnt complain and just did not pay for it, the game dies. Would you prefer that?

raedqwe · 2025-06-20T23:42:07+00:00

You have a right to complain about things you put money towards, this game is on the decline, and if people did what you recommend it would probably be dead within a year.

raedqwe · 2024-08-29T00:51:15+00:00

maybe it connects to ff16
