Classes should feel like disc priest from wow. That class has like 10 dps spells(will be simplified next patch, but not to a 1 button rotation) and a very complex spell priority that’s more dinamic than rigid. But it has very few but powerfull healing and support spells, a realy unique healer, others feel a little samey or clunky. Evoker is also guilty of the 3 button dps rotation. For tank and dps the 3 button combo should be more risky and rewarding to pull off, it should have more weight to it. I would add a unique mechanic for every tank that can proc a heavily empowered version of the combo. Like wow masteries. An idea for gunbreaker: a slowly decaying meter fueled by skills and actions, the more you press the higher it gets, you’ll get to max just by spamming the basic combo, but significantly faster by utilizing the whole kit. The bonus wouldn’t be just more damage, but a skill/spell speed buff for the whole party. This hyper combo could be reached in roughly every minute on average. Just an idea, tanks are supposed to be protectors for the group and a protector boosts everyone’s spirit.

I'm genuinely surprised by how many people are shocked at how slow Endwalker post-patch is. Like, they just wrapped up a decade of story-telling and are prepping to start an entire, brand new story arc, and the whole point of early Dawntrail is the proverbial 'beach episode'. It's supposed to be calm and lazy and slow. The number of back-end improvements and work that is being done for Dawntrail is significant as well, and probably requiring significant effort and time on the part of the dev team. Besides, it makes literally no sense lore-wise to have something like Bozja right now. The entire world just went through The Final Days, no one has the resources or the means or the will to cause trouble right now. The only way I could see something like that working, something that requires significant force directed against it, is if there were some kind of monsters that had been driven into a frenzy by the Final Days, like an aggressive migration due to habitat destruction or something.

I completely disagree with hoping for Dawntrail to be the "chill" expansion. Every expansion of ffxiv had its chill moments, and let's be honest, those weren't the moments that elevated the story's reputation to the point it is at now since Shadowbringers. People still shit on ARR and 4.0 Stormblood for being "not very exciting", and now everyone wants Dawntrail to be the same? I can't believe what I'm hearing. Sure, you need calm moments in a story, but I don't think that's what the entirety of Dawntrail should be. Also, talking about new beginnings, I think letting go of the Scions would be a better start than the other way around. Let other characters have the spotlight for once! Characters like Alphinaud, Urianger and Estinien had all the character development they could ever need, what's wrong with letting them go for an expansion or two? If you have a character that doesn't really add much to the story on an emotional level, they just end up spouting cheesy oneliners about friendship, as it was the case with the ending of 6.0 and 6.5

"New Plans" doesn't mean "New Deep Dungeon." They could be making a roulette, or some other system change to them (maybe reward changes, etc). I mean, they had new plans for Diadem as well when Shadowbringers was released :) I personally don't want them releasing another Deep Dungeon after the past one. I like Eureka Orthos, more so than Heaven on High, but it is dead content. DEAD content. People asked and begged for a new Deep Dungeon and when they got it they abandoned it. It just seems like people really did not want a new one. To "expect" a deep dungeon to be completely different, or not more of the same, is not an issue with the developers, but with the people who create these fictional narratives in their minds. Expectations are rarely, if ever, met. Expectations are a personal work of fiction and have no basis in reality. The disappointment caused by someone's expectations not being met is not caused by the developers, but by the individual, and only they can fix that issue.

I don't really have any complaints about Endwalker.

As far as the Dawntrail plot, while it does look like "vacation expansion" from what's been released so far, I'd not be at all surprised if it ends up actually being a lot more than that in some way.

I do wonder how much the current content scarcity is related to the back end works they’re doing in the game - how much of their resourcing has been put on the graphical updates and Xbox functionality as opposed to content. Mostly because I remember the same point was brought up in the NoClip documentary, where after Yoshida took over the team during 1.0 people were initially frustrated that new content wasn’t being delivered, to which he stated the reason had been their efforts were initially on fixing the UI and other back end works to actually make the game somewhat playable before they could deliver on actual game content. And that I suppose is one of those seeing the forest for the trees moments - if players are starved for content it absolutely makes sense for them to grow restless and annoyed, particularly since those back end works often can’t be seen which can misrepresent the situation as the team just not doing anything. Similarly though, these sorts of projects do need to happen for a game this old in order to sustain its longevity. Working as a project manager in what I think would be similar roles, I can understand how delicate that balance in resourcing could be for them in trying to get each part of the team the support it needs for its respective areas and I don’t envy them. Yoshida has a bunch of other crap he’s responsible for too, I don’t even know how he finds enough hours in the day. Am excited to play Dawntrail. The one sentiment I’ve seen a lot so far and will echo is I hope they don’t go down the pit trap of focusing so much on job balance that the roles become nothing but reskins of each other. The individual job quest storylines do a lot to provide them identity, but it needs to be mirrored in gameplay to be truly effective.

I don't understand why is she making all those videos and posts on twitter... its not a big deal... why be so dramatic about literally everything.. your life, the game, ETC! also not to mention that since the release of Endwalker, whenever I hop on your streams.. your literally always sitting at the last stand.... complaining or whining about something.

I know right! I was thinking the same thing. If you're not enjoying the expansion then maybe take the creator's advice and play something else for a while rather than complaining about it in the same spot the whole time lol

I am stoked for DawnTrail! I am happy with all the changes coming to the game! I have an Xbox series X & am happy it is being added to the FFXIV family! I will stay on my PC though for FFXIV! I am happy we are on Vacation but I think it will be interrupted by the new big bad! I am hopefull for a new story arc! They did a great job from 1.0 to 7.0! Shadowbringers & Endwalker are awesome in the story they tell & how they said goodbye to it! Now onto a New Horizon for our WoL!!!!

I'm so glad optimization/efficiency players finally realized this is a casual game made for casual gamers who play casually. It's always been a D&D/EverQuest/early-MUD narrative roleplaying experience. The social experiment to turn it into the unpaid & exploited competitive labor experience WoW has become has failed in FFXIV and I say, [leans into mic] Good.

Maybe a controversial opinion, but imo, the one thing that can save DT from becoming a bit dull is some serious innovation. Intensive one, not extensive. Not more of the same old formula, but something new. E.g. instead of 2 new classes with same "sleep-sleep-frantically press everything for 15 seconds-sleep 2 minutes again" gameplay, try to make existing classes deeper, add some branching/customization/talents to them. Will it be hard to implement and balance? Oh yes. Will it spark a lot of interest in the community? Oh double yes. Similarly, instead of adding a new big and empty city, maybe they could add new sub-areas to already existing cities and through that refresh our perception of them. Repaint and renew old things, make people see them afresh, like the very first time These are just some ideas, I'm not saying we need particulary these, but I have a strong feeling that we need something along that way.

One thing I wanted to see (it's too late now lol) was to see side characters take leading roles and becoming more pronounced in the new arc. I wanted to see the scions side benched and doing there own things while we get to know characters like Boulder and Coultinet in the new story and only visiting the OGs when we need mentoring just like Matoya for example. But yea it's too late fir that now haha

Too many MMO expansions feel they need to conjure a new world-ending threat for the "chosen hero" player to deal with. I find it refreshing to just play as an adventurer dealing with the fate of a nation or empire. Which is why Stormblood is my favourite expansion and I feel like they killed Garlemald off too quickly in Shadowbringers.

I see you overestimate the Xbox userbase. 😅 FF titles tend to sell badly on Xbox systems.I am not excited about the game coming to Xbox cause i am afraid the longer patch cycles were put in place to accommodate it. Instead of 3 month patches it's now 4 month patch cadence. Let's hope it's worth it, but i am not optimistic.

Why Dawntrail would be different than Shadowbringers or Endwalker in terms of schema, and timing? The main feature will be new graphics and aside from that, we will get new instances and zones. There will be tomestones, aethersands, materia, fates and so on. Yes/No on the singular feature like exploratory zone won't change much.
