@Blade-Syphon said in Why I left FFXIV for PSO2:

Honestly it's getting harder and harder for me to remain interested in XIV anymore. The game was fantastic during ARR and Heavensward, but ever since Stormblood it's just gone so far down the toilet - everything now just feels like SE is ticking off a checklist without actually putting any effort into the game.

The fact that I'm contemplating if I really want to slog through three hours of cut-scenes just to get access to a single dungeon, or grind through four more bosses that offer literally no challenge for gear that I'm going to replace in three months or just play Crisis Core instead kind of brings it all into light of how little XIV does to excite me anymore.

The closest Shadowbringers has come to actually keeping me enthralled was with the Bozjan Southern Front, but one slice of good content against a mountain of bad content just doesn't cut it anymore. Between PSO2, Shadowlands, and even Beyond Light, XIV just feels so terribly dated and irrelevant right now compared to the other MMOs I'm playing.

It also doesn't help that it's story has completely fallen into anime-gutter levels of plot armor and story telling. I mean, yeah PSO2 is basically "Anime - the JRPG", but it wears it's inspiration on it's sleeve, isn't afraid to poke fun at it's self, and still manages to tell a compelling story without relying on too many tropes.

XIV? Any time the story starts to meander towards something that's morally gray, or actually seems like a compelling plot device or world building element, the developers immediately reign it back and instead force-feed you the idea that the Light is good, the Dark is bad, and that everything is black and white.

So yeah, I'm with you Wyverian. I don't blame you at all for dropping XIV for PSO2. SE just doesn't seem to care to put any real effort into the game anymore, which is a shame. XIV had so much potential when it launched, but now it's just kind of turned into another generic WoW clone with no real soul of it's own.

I get the impression you just skip through the cutscenes and explanations of key point in xiv. To say SE has put no soul into the game when ShadowBringers is the best xiv has ever been is baffling to me. but hey, opinions

I cant believe that you are complaining over something so trivial, Besides, - It's not like you are the living proof of sheer perfection anyway, RIght? It's always the same, someone may make an honest mistake and then gets brutally criticized by those that think that they are far superior. Even funnier still.. Your actually angry? for what? something Intangible? OH BOO HOO! If that's the case, Go and play scarlet blade and you can have all the nudity that you want.

you sound like a shill

@Akantorz Sega wont compensate for that. Same for when they were giving us "discounts" on sg items we havent even had yet which isnt legal. They got their money, thats all that matters

Erf.... sorry but no. I do not like this one. Let's just keep room decor as just that. We also have enough stat buffs as it is anyway.

Why because I suggested it?

You make these threads to bait folks into fighting with you dont you?

@DDDDLife I mean...play a single player game?

@Rolph-Rhega Yeah, that's an understatement, and super self evident at this point. It actually made me look at several of his other arguing points a different way. He's just on these forums to aggravate people, and cause drama.

Aren’t we dismissive! Why is it important for you to label me? You do remember that they didn’t release the game over here until 6 years later? Is that not a slap in our American faces. Maybe they didn’t want our culture influences?

Western influence is garbage anyways so if that IS the reason, I support it 100%. Western society is weak

@RainGnyu said in How can we make NA different from JP that JP veterans get upset?:

I don’t want the same environment in NA as they do over on JP! How can we make NA so different that JP veterans get upset about it?

Suggestion please!

so you want to purposely upset jp players...because their environment isn't tasteful for you. funny seeing as you play the victim in these forums and claim jp players are trying to indoctrinate you and others.
