All that aside has there been any explanation why we didn't get Shinryu/Stormblood ultimate? I'm actually gonna be mad if we never get any remix of The Worm's Tail.
Instead they're just gonna go straight to the Shadowbringers Ult where we get to fight Elidibus (Zenos' body), Elidibus (Ardbert's body) Elidibus (Warrior of Light) and Elidibus (Pandaemonium)

Ultimates tend to come from raid series rather than Trials, although DSR did come significantly later. So it might be in the pipeline.

There's also probably a bit of Zenos fatigue, too, would be my guess.

I still remember back when you couldn’t get revived if you fall off the platform fighting Titan and a few other bosses. It really sucked especially when it was due to lag and I’m glad they fixed that shit.

So you went with dancer, then?

In all seriousness, I appreciate the feedback. I think ill go with RPR.

I agree with RPR getting boring, honestly DNC is a better call if you wanna help improve the party. It's also a less frustrating rotation.

Interesting crumb of info: apparently the Chinese new year message from Yoshida seems to confirmed the Korean interview about 8.0 changing things.

Didn't we get the same rewards in the normal international version, though?

I agree with most of the recent posts, it's definitely going bad after this past release. I guess the staff are on permanent vacation from their own project given the number of young, inexperienced people they left DT to write and make. First time (I've seen) they asked foreigners to apply for the writing jobs in-office, too. Maybe fujo left as well.

REMINDER, THIS IS RELATIVE TO 2025 EVENTS:
It seems they finally learned their lessons about events. instead of talking to 3 or 4 jackoffs and finish the quest (or do another quest where you talk to 3 or 4 jackoffs again), they brought back the mini games that have some fun in a hyper-casual sense; cake making game for valentines, and this event you're cheering and the cheers need to color match the idols.
 
Square Enix threatened legal action to silence a fan blog that has existed for 10+ years.
Here the admin says they will not post any new information on the page:

Regarding Our Response to Harassment Against Our Officers and Employees
We sincerely thank you for your continued patronage of Square Enix Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "the Company") products and services.
We take the valuable feedback, opinions, and requests we receive from our customers very seriously, recognising them as essential for improving our products and services. We strive daily to utilise this input for enhancing our existing offerings and developing new products and services.

As announced on our company website on 10 January 2025, maintaining a workplace environment where our officers and employees can work safely and securely is an extremely important management issue, particularly in response to certain instances of excessive harassment. Therefore, based on our "Policy for Addressing Customer Harassment", we are taking resolute action against such harassment.

We hereby state that we have requested disclosure of the sender's information concerning the administrator of the website "Netoge Sokuho (formerly FF14 Sokuho)" (URL: https://ff14net.2chblog.jp/). This request was made on the grounds that the website published an article containing content that diminishes the social standing of the staff of 'Final Fantasy XIV'. Subsequently, the corporation providing the service used by the administrator of the aforementioned website voluntarily disclosed the sender's information. Following discussions with the administrator, a settlement was reached whereby the site was closed, an apology statement published, and a settlement payment made. We hereby report this outcome.

Moving forward, we will continue to take strict measures, including legal action, against acts that attack specific individuals or harass our officers and employees, threatening their safety and mental well-being. This is to protect our officers and employees and maintain a healthy workplace environment. We strongly urge everyone to review our "Policy on Responding to Customer Harassment" and refrain from any behaviour that undermines the dignity of our officers and employees.

We shall continue to strive to meet and exceed your expectations, providing entertainment that surpasses them.

We sincerely ask for your continued understanding and support of our activities.

<signature of the company>

As far as I understand it, there hasn't been any legal measures taken, they just doxed the admin of that blog by asking the website admin and they came to terms. I can't see any explicit articles that defamed any of the staff directly, the comment sections however were quite krass. So this might be SE lashing out at the admin for mean comments...
That being said:
I think Yoshida has a terrible fashion sense and he dresses like a man 20 years younger than him. Please SE, contact the sites administration over my mean comment.
 
Despite fucking up one of my macros, several cases of miscalculated Black Stars, not having a keyboard, and general boredom, I managed to finish crafting my Maiming gear. Now I can start preparing for my Casting gear

Yeah and apparently if they don't, they'll sue you for saying so. Japan's laws are ass forwards. I've heard so many stories about stalkers being left alone until they do something violent but if you say mean things about a certain metrosexual (at best) game producer, his company is allowed to nuke you from orbit.
