During the Letter from the Producer Live broadcasted from the Nico Nico Chokaigi event in Tokyo, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Director and Producer Naoki Yoshida announced that the benchmark of the Heavensward expansion will be available on Monday at 4 PM Japan Time.
YoshiP, the director and producer of Final Fantasy 14, has apologised for the state of the game at the time of writing.
Do you not see this happening during development? Like, why are we apologizing after the fact instead of stopping it during development?
Criticism and reflection occur after the fact. The apology acknowledges the past criticisms with the new expansion and they're keeping transparency with players about it. Now that they've acknowledged it - it will be interesting to see what kind of cycle we'll get with a new expansion and I wonder if they're planning something special with beast master since they didn't mention it in the last live letter.
The base game and expansion go on sale all the time and doesn't stay full price for very long since a new expansion is on the horizon.
If you're stating they should reduce the price of new expansions or the sub fee, no, that's not gonna happen lmao people aren't even complaining about that. They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy.
"They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy."
The product should be cheaper then.
I was unhappy with DT and have spent far less time in it than any other expansion but it's things like this that makes me respect Yoshi P. It's rare for such a high profile developer to be so candid in his assessment on a live game.
Same, i've found my self resubbing every two patches instead of keeping it up. Don't own a home in the game so there's no point in keeping a constant sub going. The post story is getting interesting though.
Square Enix released new screenshots of the upcoming patch 7.25 for its popular MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, including the Occult Crescent.
A Final Fantasy XIV fan has embraced the way of the Warrior by creating an axe-shaped controller for IRL Fell Cleaves.
Now this is something I can't wait to get my hands on to try out.
This video really shows how dull\dim last-gen lighting\rendering looks.
Once "people start seeing better" (longing for big Ps in face prevents noticing OBVIOUS AF problems, etc.), the difference in last-gen lighting\rendering will become OBVIOUS... much to the detriment of then currently being released games still using last-gen rendering.
Notice the way that everything dark in the video doesn't reflect light in a way that reveals more of the complexity. An inCREDIBLE amount of REALism is lost that causes "depressingdimballs" fLAMER rather than "amazeballs" FANtastic.
I expect that better lighting\rendering will be highly demanded, especially since it makes far more difference than 900P versus 1080P.
900P with better lighting is EXTRAORDINARILY better than 1080P without... not only in how BRILLIANT it is not being dull\dim... in how much MORE that can actually be "scene".
cant fucking wait
lets do it my mid-end PC
