Sadly, for me the only thing that is keeping me subbed to this game is the mods. The storyline peaked in SHB and been downhill ever since then lol. My devoted friend recently left XIV after beating DT cuz he saw literally nothing has changed with the game. 😂😂😂😂

You're not alone... 1.0 player and I'm also out. I have even left all of my xiv discords as it has destroyed it's own community as well. I thought I would be sad to see it to the end when servers shut down but nope! Not going to lie I will return for a bit when I get a new phys ranged but I'm sure I won't get corsair and it will only be a month sub for whatever trash ranged class I get.

I have according to Steam around 11k hours played, and started back in 2.0ish. The big problem with FFXIV is stagnation. The devs are terrified of change. Whenever they try something new, and it goes poorly, they just give up. Island Sanctuary is one example, and I still don't understand what the hell they were thinking with that. Imagine adding an island that you build into something more, and it's 100% solo content in an MMO, and completely divorced from all the crafting & gathering systems, while also having some of the worse menu management & capture RNG possible. The writing has gone from alright, to decent to downright painful. Combat has gone from being wild and unpredictable, to being so predictable that you can pinpoint exactly what moves a boss will at the exact right second. As tank or healer you react to predictable situations, to the point that you have a "buff/heal rotation" - and things only divert if someone makes a mistake in the dance. Moreover the jobs are painfully streamlined, rotations are basically set in stone so you'll almost always do the exact same thing over and over with no room for improvisation. Dungeons are uninspired boring wall-to-wall pulling followed by bosses that hit like wimps, so if you're playing a healer you'll only be able to avoid narcolepsy if you have a trash tank or dps that stands in bad. Alliance raids get stomped on so hard from week 1 that you skip boss mechanics, old content is so trivialised that new and older players are not engaging at all with what's happening nor learning to improve - because the game never forces them to improve. Trials go from alright to good to downright trash, and sometimes the extreme trial is somehow worse than the normal. Even Bozja and Eureka has been effected by the power creep, despite being one of the few places where the game still feels like an mmo (mostly Eureka). The overworld is just set pieces with non-threatening mobs, and there's no point killing any of them beyond quests. Fates either melt so fast that a caster can barely finish a cast before it is gone, or takes forever because you're alone but the fate adjusted itself to the 20+ people in the zone. Treasure maps are no better, where you'll just have a bad time if you join a treasure hunt as a black mage, as the mobs will just melt with a party of the recommended size. Hunts are just moving training dummies that sometimes deal damage before melting to the train of people. All combat outside of end-game raiding is boring. Crafting & gathering has gotten so easy, that the market is always oversaturated with people who are omni-everything. The game asks so little of you nowadays that it is difficult to stay focused or motivated when trying to desperately engage with it. I'm sure the subscriber numbers are healthy for the game, but that's only because they've managed to reach such a wide audience of people, that when the "old guard" players drop out, it's not noticeable yet. I haven't been subscribed since end of Endwalker, and I've yet to see anything in Dawntrail that would convince me despite my love for what the game used to be. Maybe the next expansion they'll have learnt something and improved, but I doubt it.

Hey i don t know why there are so many harsh comments, i played ff14 since HW, i never skipped the story until DT, it was boring and worse than the base game story, i stopped raiding in shadowbringers because the incentives were not good enough for me, the glamours were pretty generic and playing raids just to get 2 points of ilvl that will be irrelevant next patch wasn t good either, the eureka and bozja, mmm i dont like that content, grindy content feels bad with 14's combat being so slow compared to games such as bdo or lost ark that are designed to keep u entertained while killing stuff (flashy moves and cool skills), and about the chat, yes the chat is always dead, the only time i interacted with people was when i had the access to mentor or returning player chat, even in Bdo people don t stop talking and interacting, i always play the msq, lvl up jobs that i like to max lvl and then leave until next expansion but still i noticed how people don t want to learn or just tryhard everything, i wish i could express more but hope u can keep enjoying more games and wish u a great year i also want ff14 to give us REAL new content

Great video. Even as someone who is actively playing the game, I agree with so many of these points. I started in 2020, just before the Asmongold hype train, and the game used to be SO alive and so active. I loved how vocal everyone was. I loved talking to people. I loved people talking to me. Now most of the discussion you see is weirdly dressed people right at the aetheryte in a main city state. Emoting at each other over and over... I partied up with some folks to do FATE farming and tried to start a conversation twice. No response from the other people in my party. It was very sad since I think half of the fun of this game is the social aspect. I've joined and quit about 6 FCs just because NO ONE talks in the chat and none of the people even seem to know each other? And of course if I try to start my own then there's no one interested in joining. I dunno. I am still making my way through the story so I can't even attempt to engage with end game mechanics. I am pretty close to catching up, though. After 4 years of playing. edit: I am at 1472 hours. I have all my DoW classes above 50. I have all my DoH/DoL above 75. I like engaging in the side content a lot. That's partially why it has taken me so long.

People hating on you for skipping story but you’re lucky, Dawntrail story has been awful so far, even role quests were more enjoyable. A new start point for new players is a good idea, alas the new story is so offputting.

GI and HSR could never 😂

the transition from her walking- to her flying animation is *so* smooth i love her

As a player that has played for 3 years i gotta say that this was a beautiful rant and i really liked the part about the MODDING, i have plenty of friends that all use fashion mods and LEWD ERP stuff and as a player that still haven´t touched modding, i try my hardest to make good glams with the vanilla stuff that we have and i might have bought a bit too many fantas and jet black dyes along the years but i have also got a lot of praise for the glams that i use, but goddamn the power of mods is overwhelming when you ask someone to show you what they can do with them, its really tempting but if i can make a modder check out my vanilla glam and be impressed then i see that as a WIN (Also most of the ultimate legends just run around in pyjamas to us vanilla players and they look really lame, but they must be using fashion mods)

I completely agree with most of your points in this video. Modding and cheats are the biggest reasons why I quit after 6k hours in the game. Why would I sweat my ass for something cool when Bobby with his space ship UAV UI can get it with basically no effort at all. I personally see no point in playing if players can do that with no consequences at all. Might be wrong, but I think the RPers are having the most fun in the game right now and the rest are kinda suffering in silence.

“I like to play MMORPGs but I skipped the story” ok so go play fornite or cod lol wtf hahahaha no reason to listen anymore freaking hilarious.

Am I the only one that sees a reference of Nicole being like a cat because of the belt being the tail?

She’s a ghost!!!

Mommy got lost on her way to work

Rina my beloved

The best girl 😎

flot

good choice, have fun, i hope the spark / game quality returns

I don't know why I thought her floating ability is only possible in the hollow

i speak for everyone when i say this what we wanted to see from the Firefly mech and Blackswan... sadly HSR like most other gachas have the same walk and run animations for everyone. 😥

Rina is a good person

Oh did you have them what should I do to make them un locked???

It's so weird that they let her fly... doesn't matter how advanced her tech is, she'll scare children on street

Rina secretly a Sith Lord.

Bro if she was chasing someone she would be that one meme where a guy is running from a black ghost

she's baba yaga

Personally, i would recommend ffxiv to any mmorpg player out there. Its really good in a few elements it does really well. There is a caveat with my recommendation though 😅 Max length of stay and play should be 2 years worth - the entire length of an expansion. Anything after that is a time sink because once all content has been done and explored, nothing new is coming. Or should i say, nothing you haven't done before. Spend some time, enjoy yourself, but also get out in a timely manner. Dont believe me? Wait till the next expansion drops and tell me whats different to what you did in the previous expansion? Appreciate the candid and honest views and video. I probably put in 5000 hours during Stormblood and left the game 1 month into Shadowbringers. It was fun, while it lasted.

I still dont understand how she floats. Everyone is using technology, and Rina alone uses magic lol

Brain: just be normal for once ADHD:

I hate her sm she ruined my chance of getting Miyabi😭

Budget cut 😂

Ll Never swip my mc 😎

She's a poltergeist of course she's gonna float

she is like that mage in old frozen throne games😂

her walk is so graceful and beautiful

Do they all(except Ben) have same speed or different like in combat

The camera looking up, and the character fading away

I'm 100% on board with separating dungeons/trials from the MSQ entirely - except when they are directly locked into the story. For example, the current MSQ duties should stay as-is because they were designed to literally be part of the MSQ back in ARR. Beyond that, though.. nah. They can be separated. For myself, I hate dungeons in FFXIV. And it's sad because dungeons are my favorite part of any MMO. I love dungeon-delving. Unfortunately, SE's rigid-linear-corridor-through-a-diorama-punctuated-by-undynamic-heavily-scripted-boss-platforms approach is is just uninspired and boring as hell. I'd gladly skip every dungeon in FFXIV entirely if it were possible. Their weird approach where over half the mechanics involve what the arena/platform is doing, instead of the boss itself, is just bizarre.

Can you see me?

Black Swan in hsr is punching air right now🤣

Now they just need to add crouching animations... XD

Why would you bother moving around your legs if you can just float lol

only about 16 mins in, and ill have to come back to the video because im giga tired from my 3rd shift. but so far it just seems like FFXIV wasnt a game for you. which is insane to say to someone who has 10k hours in it, but i dont see why you wound up sticking with it for so long. you might wanna try world of warcraft, it seems to be an answer to the complaints ive heard so far. i genuinely dont understand the people who play FFXIV and dont engage with the story. its one of the games only redeeming qualities outside of genuinely cool RP (which i dont engage in, but it being there is just cool)

Rina: Oh no I am running late for work. SOME TIME LATER Obol Squad Fighter Jet: WHAT?! WHO ARE YOU, AND HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET IN OUR AIRSPACE?! Rina: I would love to talk with you but I am uncharacteristically late. Breaks the sound barrier

I would also love to float around like that

she's gorgeous man

the msq wall for new players is a real thing, all of my friends watched the gameplay, the combat and they really got interested, and some really liked the game, but they end up giving up or quitting, either being a new player with less 50h or a veteran with 2 expansions of gameplay, only because of the quests, way too many quests to unlock content. even I started to get tired of this game, I don't like to skip cutscenes because if I do, I will lose the best part of it, the imersion is better when you are following the story as we do the dungeons\trials. but I feel more and more that I waste a lot of money of my sub on the quests, because since Shadowbringers, I feel that the story tries to clickbait to do some really serious stuff but is just a Shonen Anime and mostly predictable, only very few moments are really actually good, and since I'm spending a sub on those, it ends up me being more critical with my time spend there, and it ends up being a not so good experience.

would have been nice if Ellen's dash was kept in the roaming mode.

she's just in creative mode

I actually surprised when she actually walking on walk mode
