Players have been doing this for the past 10 years but only now it is boring? I know MSQ Andys will rightfully, typically focus their criticisms about the story but cutscenes? Don't let me bring up the 'unnecessary cutscenes' we had since ARR/HW/SB/ShB/EW padded with unvoiced expositional dialogue, fetch quests, fan service, ect.. Of course some people like that since it is, well, a Final Fantasy game but you can't reasonably please everyone and the multitude of new players who were possibly drawn to this as their first game in an almost 40 year old franchise. Curious. . .

world is getting impatient!
Then again lot of Politics+Corpo investment benefit was more priority than actual fun ,Qol, immersion and gameplay!

Poor Yoshi P must've shoved aside for this expansion or he had to go through to get that extra share from investment!

Music? Nah. This xpac has pretty mid-low tier music. And ''SMILE'' makes everything 10x worse because it reminds it exists.

If it matters Yoshipp won't be directing the next mainline FF title. That could either be a good or bad thing for us.

FF16 was good, FF7:R part 2 was decent till again SE bowed down to politics and benefits that come with it! Sales plummeted both compared to FF7: Integrade

You are kind of right to be fair. FF16 was a good DMC/Ninja Gaiden clone and pretty fun but a TERRIBLE Final Fantasy game.

About Yoshi-P, and I might be wrong here. You can see in his eyes he is a tired man that just keeps going pushed by a modern honor of a samurai while he does what the corpo suits command.

It's been like this for years lol. Look at the streams from years ago where Yoshipp said he didn't want a cash shop in his game but he had to do it anyway and appease the senior corporate executives at SE.

Still feels like one of the best game directors of all time! FF14 is so massive in content!

For me, it is just a shame that Square Enix took all the FFXIV money and spent it on NFT bs + other games that failed hard, CEOs really ruin everything they touch. They should have realized that FFXIV is their cash cow and invested the money back into the game. The 7.0 update made the game much better but it still feels like an outdated PS3 game with way too many loading screens etc.

I still enjoy it, ngl, but loving a game means that you're are able to both enjoy & criticize it. Hopefully they learn from the Dawntrail ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and change the formula. Until then, good luck and have fun ingame o/
