Played FFXIV since ARR back at 2013 until Endwalker patch 6.1 and have no plans for return until they make bold gameplay changes. What has been killed FFXIV for me is the homogenization and dumbing down of jobs. For me Heavensward was peak gameplay, the rotations felt rewarding, tanks and healers felt unique. For me Stormblood was when the game start to go downhill. Butchering tanks and healers (DRK lost many of the HW skills for example), strange decisions such as Riddle of Fire making MNK's weapon skill slow and so on with other Jobs. While the story is "good" , I got tired of SE resurrecting characters because of popularity, Gaius, Zenos etc. and let's not talk about the whole Meteion thing.

I played my first Final Fantasy (6) when I was 7 in 1994. I am 37 now and am still very much enamored with the FF series. I tried getting my nephew into it, but he didn't like it.

Comments like "You don't like world-building" are very goofy criticisms and you shouldn't even humor them with a response. But yeah one of the things that entertains me about the community is the imagination of some of them projecting actions or emotions on the completely vapid WoL. People saying things like "Oh my WoL did this" or "My WoL thought this," and meanwhile I'm thinking "My WoL just stood there watching this happen and did nothing." 😂 But I'll give the devs credit, a lot of dialogue responses they've given us in more recent content feels like we've been able to give our player character at least a little personality here and there.

I loved Shadowbringers, but I did feel like this when Stormblood launched and nearly all through out Endwalker eh. I hope Dawntrail brings back that magic it once had for me, if not, still the glamor, leveling, other activities keep me invested.

Right on, I know what you mean trying to chase that magic you first felt when playing a game for the first time, I do catch glimpses of it now and then, I hope you can too!

You and I have the exact same experience. I played through the end of shadowbringers ~400 hours and just failed to see what all of the fuss was about. It's not that it's a bad game, it's just nowhere near fun enough to justify the amount of time it requires from you.

This game has at least 100 flaws. I only keep playing it for the completionist and battle content. Haven't cared about the story since Heavensward. Haven't cared about the lore since I started playing. Day 1 of a new expansion I skip every single cutscene just to get to the end, so I can start doing what I like in the game. For me it's worth it but likely not for everyone. It is too much walk and talk all the time and not enough action, which is why most new players don't even make it to the end.

It's a flawed game, I think it relies to much on its story content for a MMORPG. The story is not the best, and it's bloated. I've recruited 3 friends to come play and 0 of the 3 have finished the games story and most have found more fun in side activities like leveling other jobs, and crafts. All 3 are no longer playing the game, and I think that shows signs the game has problems keeping new players. I still enjoy the game, but I can at least understand the story has gone to far, and gotten to bloated.

I'm nearly at the end of EW and I've done like 2 dungeons and a trial, this entire fucking game is nothing but talking to NPCs as far as the MSQ goes, sure there's other stuff to do but I think the MSQ is pretentious filler crap, I doubt Dawn trail will deviate from that shitty fucking formula, Ive read every like or dialogue and I just got the point where the game is pissing me off making me read dialogue through these fucking retarded characters I couldn't give two fucks about, Endwalker for me is just as bad as ARR, shadowbringers was the only decent MSQ expansion, I don't get how everyone praises this game? They release an expansion with the laziest game design every cause let's be honest, if you're a casual you're gonna spend 99% of your time clicking on NPCs and then run into a stupid purple circle to fight enemies that literally can't hurt you, wow such fun. Fuck this game, I'm gonna beat it because I have too after coming this far but unless Dawn trail shakes it up, I'll probably quit too

I was able to figure out how to switch to retro vs Xbox controller by input however I set the “Retriod pocket controller” as my controller but none of the controls are working when I play a game. Apparently, I would need to setup the profile for each controller mode as each controller has a driver built into Retroids OS. I see the profiles options but how do I set up the profile Xbox vs Retriod?

I don't think Starfield can be called a "full-fledged" rpg. It has elements, but it fails at the role-playing aspect of RPG. Nms may not have as many rpg elements, but the story is Astounding and feels rewarding to play.
@genjigearlive3 ай бұрын
Yeah everyone seems to have their own definition of rpg, I’d say NMS lacks rpg elements, you don’t have freedoms to play it differently, it’s mostly a survival game instead of an actual rpg, it doesn’t have enough gameplay variety, I know you can do different things but they all are based around the role of a space explorer. But anyway, thanks for the comment!

This is a sub game and I will not tolerate gameplay/story that i just do not enjoy to placate others that feel i haven't given it a fair shot.

@jhonayo48873 ай бұрын
@@genjigearlive and I don't fault them for liking the game like you said at the end of the day this stuff is subjective but not purely so. I think our tastes and such are curtailed by our past experiences and our tolerances for bad writing/pacing will be dependent on that. I like consice and to the point stories that have lore implications that could be further extrapolated from if delved into. But FF14 seems to just hammer into you everything through very slow pacing. I'm an American so guess that might have something to do with it. But developers like From software have proven that at a surface level you can make a simple game at first glance but with great depth if you want to invest in it. FF14 is just too slow and like you said you have zero input in the story. I really hope one day Japanese developers give real agency to the player like Fallout New Vegas but that's a long shot perhaps. Granted even wrpgs didn't give a lot of agency to the player Fallout NV and Buldars Gate 3 being an exception.
