I wanted to main BRD a little longer but honestly everytime I think about resubbing to the game I feel a pit in my stomatch to think they're just further making it shittier for no reason whatsoever, is there any piece of content you guys are looking forward in the future?

I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Beastmaster whenever it drops. No idea how they'll manage it for trial content; will you get a creature that absorbs abilities from an enemy boss, or can we tame a mini Zoraal Ja by clearing Everkeep EX to fight for us?I'm hoping we might get to command a couple minions in combat, if it just collects abilities from mobs same as BLU then why even have it.

Well if it's anything like FF11's Beastmaster, you have magic jugs of soup to summon monsters and then they do the thing that monster family does.

Looking forward to see Rug Lamat live up to her name and skinning her alive as part of an extreme trial.

Oh you mean actual content that's been announced? cosmic exploration I guess, so long as they don't pull an island sanctuary in space.

Generic as it is, the obvious picks: Extreme, Savage, Cosmo, Occult Crescent. Also Suzaku Unreal, can't wait to see her filter the peasants after the snooze fest of Byakko.

Extreme and Savage are still fun to me, haven't been playing long enough to be jaded by their repetitive nature. Extreme will be practice for Savage since I haven't done any of them for months, got lazy with reclears cuz this tier's pretty boring. The preview of the normal raids looks about as you'd expect, obvious half-rooms, boss jumping to middle facing north. For the prophesized 7.2 "fight content revamp" it looks about as boring as the start of M1; you'd think they'd want to show of something cool this time. Savage will obviously be different, probably not anything special though. Will most likely be more difficult than the 1st floor though so my chances of a week 1 clear in PF are even lower than in pissbaby M1-4. Unreal might reach Zurvan levels of cancer because of how bad PF is going to be at it too so that'll be a fun shitshow.

Cosmic Exploration should be a decent timekiller and possibly a much needed source of gatherer materia that isn't from collecting a gorillion collectables. The mech thing is pretty cool, will tickle the "I'm speshul" part of the brain when you get picked, And the employee of the fortnight thing is kinda cute too. Looks like you can queue for stuff while you're in there so that's nice.

Wasn't that interested in Occult Crescent or Field Ops in general 'til I tried Bozja a little recently, now I'm pretty excited to see an instance that isn't a total wasteland.

Seems like a decent patch overall, I don't think people would be this upset about it if Dawntrail wasn't so awful and the BLM changes setting a bad precedent for the other unannounced changes. Also really should've had Cosmo come with 7.2. Some of the QoL is nice, like being able to queue pots + food + sprint and mounting while moving even though this shit should've been in the game a decade ago. The worst part, though, is there's zero mention of any changes to characters after the graphical update. Square just comes in, butchers our characters, leaves, and expects us to thank them for it; it's a sick fucking joke.

But whatever. The game's still well made enough to keep playing... for now. Not long until the final straw if this keeps up though.

Yeah sounds like a you problem, my race still looks fine, keep seething
...seriously, though, I can't tell if you're joking or not. That's the worst problem?

New extreme and savage tier, plus a new unreal. I'm in it for the high-difficulty gameplay stuff. And a savage tier sounds like the kinda thing that's challenging, but also a nice break from trying to get through FRU.

You're both blind. Here's the most obvious comparison I could find:

The "updated" version looks ghoulish. This is just for Au Ra, but many race's faces got hit hard in a similar way, so if the devs wasting time and resources on downgrading the graphics this hard isn't the worst thing to happen to this game, I don't know what is.

Iirc it is mostly on female characters.
I play a male character so was harder for me to notice but the difference is quite apparent with Au ra and female characters.

Sometimes I miss the ps3 limitations, it acted as a necessary evil to actually bother with optimization and to not fall for SE’s obsession for bright and polished visuals.
I am now noticing less of that with DT and it’s much lazier.
 
You will enable the bloom and you will like it, peasant.

Make sure you buy the most top of the line hardware for our terribly optimized future PC ports.

are you talking about the "doesn't use aoes on trash" part, the "only singlepulls" part, or the "sometimes eat shit in mechanics under very specific circumstances" part

All of it for the most part, but the "sometimes eat shit in mechanics under very specific circumstances" in this case. Alphinaud decided to cosplay a Dragoon main in Malikah's Well and eat the floor on the second boss(Trying to Nascent Flash got me killed). After that, he then DIES FIRST AGAIN to the final boss, which somehow translates to everyone else dying and leaving me to "Catgirl literally too angry to die" the boss at 5% HP. I should have hit the Roulette, but I didn't want to deal with Monday afternoon queues on Dynamis
