Trade Turtle is the best part of OC. Right when you might get something mildly interesting from the Tonberry it just.. stops. I haven't done FT but I don't think there's any story left afterward so I found it quite odd. Bozja and Zadnor's storyline made me really motivated to do them. FT just gets unlocked and.. yeah go there I guess. The monsters in there seem to be another random collection from older bosses in FFV. Shame.

Community copium is that staff are being poached to work on the next mainline FF title and all the newbies are being left to work on 14 which is why everything is so bare bones. I suspect SE is just raiding BU3 for cash and staff in order to prop up BU1 in order to just get shit done and out the door quicker, after all how long has KH4 been in development for now?
Slim, 14's main issue is that it's a slave to it's development cycle. Any reaction to the 7.2 patch content would be addressed in 7.5 at the earliest. Patch 7.3 would be mostly done outside of testing and last minute adjustments, 7.4 would be in development and 7.5 in pre-production, with a chunk of the team working on 8.0 in the background. Slotting in a change like that would cause a distruption to their precious timeline so they'll avoid doing it at all costs.
I would hope that is the case, however I don't know if this will actually happen. It really depends on what they do with the writing team and since there are no real rumours about a change, I doubt that anything will really have changed. Due to the fact that probably a significant part of the story of 8.0 will already have been written, I am unsure whether there will be any real change.
I always joke during the trial fight that during ZJ’s hallucination that he doesn’t even bother dreaming up the other father being alive. Just could not be bothered to hallucinate half the unit that gave him his apparent complexes.
Baffling disappointment at how such an easy layup was flubbed and a creeping realization that the team doesn't have the ability to course-correct.
I think BU3 just took on too many projects in the hope of not just being the FFXIV team.
I don't think it's copium when a number of a number of XIV staff were pulling double duty for XVI - corresponding with a sharp downward spike in FFXIV quality (Dawntrail). Just imagine a world where instead of Dawntrail having a terrible cat lady with a terrible tranny VA that we got someone like Clive voiced by Ben Starr instead as the main character.
That's something that Soken said in an interview: "I would be very honest in saying that I never want to do anything like that again. Every day was a really horrible hell – really something beyond your imagination of hell. But there is a reason why I was able to achieve it." He also flat out rejected the idea of doing XVII's music while still working on XIV.
Tari is gonna be losing his tranny mind at this. Watch him sperg out on reddit or whatever shithole on the internet he frequents.
People will just create their own forks of it and host their own databases, but I don't think any will be as big as the original one. Personally I don't really care if the plugin exists or not since I don't have alt characters that I care to keep separate, but it is funny reading the plugin users complain about it being shut down.
In terms of installbase? Probably not, but I really have to imagine the details were stored in very simple data structures that anyone could use and access. The actual process itself seemed laughably simple. A smaller install base means that the database grows more slowly, but anyone who was already flagged would still have their shit largely known about.
I'm only back here because I was going to post this in the XIV Community thread, but Baguette Child beat me to it. I thought I was banned based on the message box not showing up correctly and a modmail of a janny being MATI.
