Looking majestic today sir

[@zami001001]

For the scuffed fights, it HAS to be titan hard mode during ARR release. Clearly that fight was almost always scuffed in some capacity since anyone who got knocked off the arena couldn't be rezzed. Leviathan extreme also in similar fashion.

[@Skyztamer]

Regarding a ShB retrospective, I think maybe would be more feasible if we get the bigger combat changes by the end of the next expansion; and if they are truly distinct enough from how the game plays currently. I agree with the point you made the previous week; that more or less aside from the doubling down on the 2 minute meta, the combat still feels a lot like how things were back in ShB.

The shoulder length hair and beard combo is VERY powerful 👀💦

Hello! 👋 not a question but thought it’s funny when KZbin ads interrupt the ads read. It’s like inception.

[@manhattanblockade8544]

#MondaysWithMrHappy Hello Haps, hope you're doing well. Simple question: Who is your favorite band/musical artist?

[@lovelywillow90]

I would love an extreme for the Zenos EW solo instance. They did it for Varis and I think Zenos deserves it.

#MrHappyMondays Hi MrHappy, After Seeing the mobile versions QoL features and assuming that CS3 oversaw its development to some extent, how many of those features do you realistically think will get implemented in the main game (e.g. glamour catalogue - maybe as a separate system to the glamour dresser rather than a replacement, improved friends list, faster UI responsiveness)

#HappiessWithMrMonday Hey Happy, I'm having problems with PoE2 keeps crashing my PC and I know it's my CPU. What CPU are you using or what setting do you to run PoE and 14 at the same time

[@AceBadguy]

I love burgers.

[@jackmad4909]

#HopefullyJollyfilledClearsWithHondaysMrMappy Hia Happy, doing well? Sorry if this is a repeated question but is the Astro retrospective in works or was it pushed back due to all the new content to make vids on?

[@profile_memes]

He uploaded it a year ago, but I checked and it's just missing from the playlist (the patch 3.4 retrospective is missing from it also). While I was looking, I noticed he didn't upload a video for Stormblood ex trial history/rankings so there's that 😅

[@GanonAutumn777]

#ChaoticHappy_MasterOfMondays Hello haps, Merry christmas, hope the Grinch of Darkness isnt giving u too much trouble on christmas 😅 With the drought that usually comes with expansion launches and the .1 patch after, wouldnt it be better to release exploration foray content with it as well?its a long term content that can keep people interested and subscribed compared to the wasteland we have once the 8 man raids are done and over with

[@GimmeTOKYO]

Schoenen (pronounced “shoo-nen”) makes guten tag like “very good morning” :D

[@xion0713]

#HappyMondayswithMrHello Hi happy how's your monday? do you think there's any hope for Summoner being the pet job again? I've mained SMN since ARR and the pets i think are what gave it it's identity not having it makes it feel like a worse BLM with none of what makes BLM cool

[@DacianGradaMusic]

On the "downhill" topic, it's pretty tiring seeing people know absolutely nothing and still yapping about it. XIV Mobile talking resources from the main game, the devs putting less and less effort into the content... People just like to be vocal on these and they're always false statements. The real criticisms are the repeating ones that were valid in every recent expansion: the release schedule. It's like clockwork, by the .1 or 15 patch people are "done" with the expansion content and since the midcore fun grinds aren't out yet they start yapping about the game going downhill, no content, less effort by the devs... Completely ignoring the QoL and pther stuff we got until then. It's "perceived quality". If they shifted the criterions, limited jobs, DD and more importantly the exporation zone earlier we'd have way less of those complaints I'm sure.

[@IEgOImkAwx]

Instead of getting emotional about it I would suggest looking at the bigger picture, which MrHappy pointed out in the video during a question about the topic. I've played for many years and consistently, and usually I wouldn't take a hiatus yet here I am. The reality of it is, DT's story was bad in many people's eyes, or at least mediocre. This already puts a lens in many people's eyes to begin seeing things in a negative light, increasing criticism. The game's formula has remain effectively unchanged for ages, and when you can't rely on a good piloted story but there's little content to follow that up, yeah people are going to complain more than usual. It's not *just* "the midcore fun grinds aren't out yet they start yapping about the game going downhill". Take a deep breath.

[@Envinyon]

People saying FFXIV is having this severe drop in players live in quite the echo chamber. People unsubbing after an expansion launch is nothing new at all, DT has more of a dropoff because everyone that got into the game during the Shadowbringers boom has run out of stuff they want to do, whereas they still had plenty at the start of Endwalker. That's when me and a lot of folks I know started playing and at the start of Endwalker we basically just went back to grinding things in Bozja. Now, we've gotten most of what we've wanted. This isn't to say that criticism of the release schedule isn't valid, just that the game isn't in some kind of death spiral that the most jaded people want the game to be in. I think the game is in a better spot than it was when compared to 6.1. The only battle content to look forward to outside of trials and raids in EW were variant dungeons, which was a huge dud. We also don't have the massive nothing that was Island Sanctuary hogging development resources.

[@Paraguai123]

Funnily enough, there are more people playing now than at any moment of Shadowbringers and the later half of Endwalker. The reason that Endwalker to DT is a major dropoff, is because Endwalker was lighting in a bottle. We got a WoW exodus, we got a "this is the end", we got COVID. Now that the dust settled, Dawntrail is, against all odds, a more successful expansion than Shadowbringers at the moment, wether people like it or not.

[@damnsahn]

Average FFXIV news is kind of stale now. We need Yoshi-P to tell us how FFXIV will be better and improved for the future of FFXIV. That is the only thing that will excite me about FFXIV these days.

[@teyrns]

Is this your first expansion?

[@guifmurb]

8.0 will solve everything :o)

[@shiro12okami69]

Game is good we just need the explore zone…

[@damnsahn]

@shiro12okami69 since 7.0.

[@shiro12okami69]

@@damnsahnyeah like the explo zone should have been released on 7.1 directly. While I do enjoy high end duty’s,I need some good old casual hangout the whole day stuff content. Just hardcore raiding let’s me shrink in like a old raisin by now. I need to have a relax spot finally xD
