Final Fantasy is daycare for middle aged retards who want to pretend they're teenagers, and the story revolves around a literal tranny who will not ever shut the fuck up
MMOs are fucking dead, as are all games that revolve around any form of social interaction.

Tifa had a miniskirt in another game 30 years ago so the game was never high fantasy chud.

Some people here may remember that I'm a huge Eureka stan and a big Bozja hater, but I'd have to admit that Bozja is currently a lot of fun and I've warmed up considerably.

Southern Front is consistently active on weekends and I've even seen a few full instances, and people are friendly and cheery and the content has multiple lines of meaningful rewards (XP, coins, boxes, relic steps) while CLL is always worth doing. It's been great, I'd genuinely say Bozja is easily in my top five favorite pieces of content in the game right now, and that's fairly surprising as pre DT I would have done nothing but swear and curse the gods for forcing me to endure it.

Stick to the tomestone sets then because most or all of those are FF9 themed

OC was missing one big thing ( especially if your not a raider) -> personal goals

And no I don’t mean farm all the jobs.

I mean actual challenges.

A normal mode end zone with levels of mastery (rescue all prisoners as an example) and multiple positions. Can’t have that for the majority of the player base.

Or the 1x1 duels, still the best content in bodja for everyone, nope can’t have that.

Oh you want to farm the achievements, good luck if your not dumping gil just to buy carrots because the drop rate is garbage ( got 1 carrot by the time I leveled every job, and open 250+ chests).

It’s not that my opinion of Bodja went up, it’s that OC keeps cratering.

hey man could you just spam some derelict altchan instead

That’s exactly what is killing the game. Because as time goes on, it’s harder and harder to do things because players are more spread between different tasks. Without infinite growth, there can’t always be enough new players at every point of the game to be filling content.

Bat not coming until 7.55

The lack of being able to level in OC hurts the content tremendously with drawing in the casual crowd. The lack of being able to queue the raid like you would DR or CLL/Dal hurts the content with the "midcore" crowd. The teleport cool down defeats the purpose of running to a CE to participate and also kills the exploration aspect so you are left just sitting by a TP spot, waiting for the next spawn. Half of phantom job skills are designed with only the raid in mind and nothing else, leaving a lot to be desired. Eureka and Bozja had their own issues but had a lot more player agency in how you choose to interact with the content.

It's hard being an obsessed shitposter.

It's hard and nobody understands.

I love how occult crescent looks. However, one thing I will never understand and I will shout from the rooftops at every opportunity. Why did they get rid of all the quality of life in Bozja? For instance, occult crescent is a stressful run back and forth across the map to get fates since they’re up constantly with a critical engagement coming up reasonably frequently. Why can’t we teleport out to the engagement from the fate we were doing like Bozja? It’s not like this is eureka where actually getting to these notorious monsters is a real challenge, it’s just a sprint across the map with no danger.

Player count is dropping, thats no secret. We are likely at the lowest player count since late 2020. Yoshi-P has admitted that "FFXIV's Structure no longer matches the players‘ preferences, and [...] I feel that we are at a time where we need to incorporate a major change in the content hierarchy and [...] game's design"

It seems like nearly everything for 7.X is already planned, so with the exception of a few surprises we shouldn't expect much to change. Do you think that 8.0 is the last chance for FFXIV? What needs to change?

>>724369104
The only way OC can be explained is them purposefully doing the opposite of all Eureka and Bozja feedback.

Last chance? No.
But if 8.0 is boring and doesn't being back players and excitement it will be hard to gain back any momentum.
For me personally it might be the make it or break it moment since I am bored AF of FFXIV, but there are stil enough people who play and enjoy it.

>>724369151
they'll always have a base of fans who would take anything really
i doubt 8.0 will be their last chance
as for what needs to change, i've said it before and ill say it again
we need a new writer in charge
we need class identity back
we need more customizability with job setups
we need better itemization
we need more than just raid content
we need said extra content to have meaningful rewards and gameplay to entice engagement so it doesn't become forgotten in a week
and that's just surface level, i'm sure many others could add more

not even top 100 for cute girls

i dont know whose fucking idea it was, i quit before i even got to try Eureka because after finishing a major story arc the game forced me to talk to moogles for 12hrs of cutscenes before i could move on to the next expansion. shit ass game and shit ass pacing.
