  1.  @F34RDSoldier805  What's complex about FF14? The combos? You are FORCED to do them. It's not like you could do it any other way. If you do anything beside these combos, you simply massivels lose DPS = doing it wrong. It's not complex.

  2.  @minuette1752  If you like smartphone games, sure. The combat in FF14 was so ruined by their streamlining and they simpyl stopped to try anything new, it's 99% copy/paste. So took aggro out, a heal challenge does not exist at all as doesn't mana management, TP was taken out, must buffs and debuffs were canceled or massively reduced , just as many other aspects. Square started to simply milk the game since SB and even worse in ShB. On FF14 forum, people are super unhappy with the current patch and it's just a usual patch, well, as they are since ShB. It's not even a surprise. It's absolute typical behaviour for Square and Yoshi P isn't any better, I stopped counting the lies of this guy...

  3. You can skip the whole story and will not miss much. You are the chosen one of a genocide pseudo god thing, everyone else is wrong and you just win by plot armor. That's the whole story. Empire? Just does shit and loses off screen. Ascian? Absolute unimportant. Shards? Forget about it. Your own side being super corrupt despots and worse? Doesn't matter. If I want war propaganda whitwashing genocide and wars I can watch the news and at least be against it. FF14 forces you to cheer to that shit, while your character is just a mindless mass murderer who only wins because the plot demands it. There isn't even a plan or anything. It's just running in and winning by being the main char, then going back to collectiong poop and alike.

  4.  @jstraziante  This won't happen. They actually went back from this. In ARR, you had that starting class that could choose a (in case of Arcanist two) job(s), for which you needed another specific class on level 15 and you could just certain class skills from both base classes. Later they cut that down to "role abilities" and then just cut it off completely. It's a linear line since start: they don't add things, they just cut away. That is by far the biggest problem of the game, especially when they cut the interesting things and keep the bad stuff. It also takes ages for them to react. If something is wrong with a class you will at least have to wait those 4 monthes till the next big patch IF you are lucky. More likely you will have to wait much longer two big patches or even the next addon - and can only pray that they fix something and not make it even worse.

  5.  @jstraziante  Won't happen. They will stay with that model. It's the thing they are known for. They just copy/paste the old stuff and streamline it more.

  6.  @lucylu3342  I take, that you are the typical FF14 cultist who think that this stupidity is an argument. It's not and I played everything in FF14 since restart 2013 up to EW, where after eight years of been given the finger by the devs I ran out of fucks to give. FF14 went brutally downhills since SB, especally regarding content. Story does even matter that much, since you got close to no story (the game forces you through it, so it's a mess when you start new, but actual story content is very little and be done in the fraction of a single day when it comes to content patches, make it a day when it comes to a new addon. So even the story sucking so hard with stupid characters and everything driven by the dumb, mute main char just being invincible for no reason and the antagonists just doing shit to ever reach their partly just obscure goals (and if not obscure, they are actually good goals, but they still do nothing to reach them and simply fail against the blindly mass murdering, brainless protagonist), isn't really the problem. Content cut meanwhile is a problem, nothing new ever tried even more.Even Eureka and Bozja is mainly mob and fate grind again. Fates were also never improved, the same shit since start, the scaling sucks, the fate xp systm still bugged after all these years, that one person could be 100% active the whole time and still only get bronze = only 10% of the reward, while in a group everyone just needs to make one attack and you get gold. Dungeons wer cut in half and became more and more boring. When it comes to raids, you either do the 8ppl raid or the 24ppl raid, there is not really any need to do both, because 24ppl raid always comes 4 monthes late and drops subpar equip in comparison to savage. So either you do savage and get your BiS, means the 24ppl raid will not have anything of worth for you or you don't do savage, means you have nothing to raid for four months - beside both not really a big thing anyway. ShB did not even have Hildibrandt as side content, beast tribes and crafting weeklies are also always the same shit, the re-use of old ex trials was just a steaming pile of bored copy/paste shit, they really just adjusted the numbers to fit level 80, that's it (what you could have done the whole time anyway, by simply playing it synched and min item level). And so on and so on and so on. Housing system still sucks brutally, by far not enough plots for all people, not even half of it and now they managed to make it even worse with a fucking lottery system, it's ridiculous. all because Square is too greedy to get enough servers and no, they are too greedy for that since YEARS.

  7.  @MakeSureYouCleanUp  Always the same from the cultists. No, in contrary to you I played this game since the very start and you are just lying, as usual when it comes to cultists. That's why you got not a single argument. It's impossible, because whatever you say will be an obvious lie and by that easy to counter. You simply love shit powerfantasies, that's all, that's why you like it, no matter how fucking sick and badly written FF14 is, teaching you that war is awesome and easy, that warcrimes are fine when they serve your needs, that you should blindly follow ordes and never questions them and that even murdering absolut everyone for no reason is okay, as long as you sell it as okay. That's what you love - all in a story that is solely driven by just being invincible and always right = an absolute shit story. Good story telling is about struggle, about failures and mishappens and how to overcome then. Not to be a brutal, mass murdering Mary Sue who just punches something in the face and that solves all problems.
