When the game fails to provide meaningful content, they devour eachother. Every single time.
This kind of meticulous autism is why we love Wesk and why his class guides have cornered the market.https://youtube.com/watch?v=e37Z22sZbeAI did not watch this. But I did jump to the highlight/end. Dawntrail has more content apparently, but very specifically your enjoyment of that content does not matter, therefore you cannot say 'there is no content' you must qualify it with 'there is content, but it is not fun'. Seems like the content drought hit Wesk pretty hard
Also, is BST in the game yet?
I like Wesk and his brand of whatever the fuck he does. I just think this video is funny. From a purely numerical value, apparently there is 495 hours (and new PvP! Wow!) of content in DT.
To be fair, his video around homogenization is basically him admitting that homogenization is real but it's a side effect of players in high-end content continuously asking for pain points to be removed even though many of those pain points used to be central to job identity and flavor.
More power to him, I actually had not watched the homogenization video yet.
Any other opinion than this will be considered blasphemy of the highest order
I have thoughts for your thoughts.
The funny thing is he was hard stuck in DSR and TOP to the point he was being a complete salty bitch in Novice Network.
This was originally what I thought, but I've started to think otherwise. If Evercold is better than Dawntrail yet is still a step down from Endwalker, Shadowbringers, Stormblood, etc... it won't matter, because the bar has been lowered so badly and they'd still be "moving in the right direction."
I like her so far but I'm expecting her to chimp out because of some hardline idea she will refuse to let go of. Maybe she'll use Squirrel-Calyx as a shield.
I like his guide videos but Wesk is still a massive twat who gets defensive over DT being shit. About what I'd expect from a guy who lists bsky as one of his main socials.
I will thaw the shard from the fire I stoke off that fucking plushie's corpse. Why can't Square let us just kill a villain instead of having them keep coming back. Who seriously thought "You know what? I like the monotone cancer patient albino child, let's bring him back for next expansion"
The most recent thing that pissed me off with him is in his FanFest recap.
Anyone with a basic degree of fucking pattern recognition is not "ridiculous" for seeing what is blatantly a Battle Pass and worrying that Square is going to try and shoehorn in some more paid bullshit into the game. The UI is the most Mobile-looking shit we've seen out of FFXIV since FFXIV Mobile. He is so primed and coiled to strike at anyone remotely critical of the game unless they do it about things he deems acceptable that it makes listening to him just obnoxious if he's talking about anything that isn't job based (like listening to Xeno say Dawntrail has been the best expansion since Stormblood solely because he likes the raid content).
I'd like some sources on that if you've got any but it wouldn't surprise me at all.
It's a battlepass in the sense that the objective is to obtain points to achieve certain point goals. Real battlepasses always have a paid tier and a free tier, and I don't see a way you monetize a gear progression system in this game. You'd have to completely redo the gear and start systems from the ground up, and also somehow balance endgame encounters to encourage spending money to accommodate it.
His plot utility in evercold has already been telegraphed, he pretty much says that the group are just allies of convenience and he doesn't agree with the others methods, so he's 100% going to fuck one of them over for petty bullshit.
