The elected leader of the free world hallucinates 98% of the time though. Thereby proving he's REALLY smart!! (For a LLM.) |

No, the biggest middle finger. Bigger than the muffin uncap. Bigger than "paying for inventory"
There is literally no reason to need to play 15++ jobs and min-max each one. |

Giving a one time use for those was biggest middle finger they've ever given out to the playerbase.
"but what about..."
No, the biggest middle finger. Bigger than the muffin uncap.
Making people pay for inventory is the biggest middle finger. |

+2 earrings are the only thing that absolutely needs adjusting. I've been running 4 boss clears for nearing 2 years and 8 boss clears for maybe 6 months. We do a bunch of other objects including naakaul too. I got my first+2 earring a couple weeks ago. I fully expect I will never get a SMN+2 earring and will likely win the lottery before I get a perfect roll on a SMN+2
Wait, there are +2 ears in Sortie!? |

I mean, you tend to schedule blocks of time to work on different code bases, so they're switching.. for weeks/months maybe to finish something, then going back.

the Sortie RoE's should be monthly at the very least. Giving a one time use for those was biggest middle finger they've ever given out to the playerbase.

Hat in Hand
Was one of the first quests I ever did
When you asked for a memorable quest this is instantly what comes to mind
FFXI being my first MMO and not using wikis yet
I had no idea what talking to people meant
I didn't know if I needed to talk to real people I didn't know if I needed to /tell NPCs I couldn't even tell the difference in NPC and players yet
You get a not so good but cool Windshear hat
I thought elemental resistance meant so many more things than it really does
It was a lot of fun learning how the quest works, getting to see and speak to all the NPCs in the zone
Then getting a new rare ex hat to wear
Another memorable quest:
All the star onion brigade quest line

That sounds an awful lot like getting a new job with another team and occasionally helping out with XI when workflow allows.

Found the quote, it isn't quite as stark as I was remembering. The full post makes a distinction between the development and operations teams and makes no mention of the ops team downsizing, though I'm not sure how many people that is. I had assumed most of the forum mods, GM's, etc. were already being borrowed from XIV and not full time XI staff.
First, I'd like to talk about our Development team. Most of our current Development team has served exclusively on FINAL FANTASY XI for many years. Remaining on the FFXI team full-time, however, would mean giving up certain opportunities in their careers as developers. For developers, working with new technologies and seeing the fruits of their labor take form in new products can be a huge source of motivation and an opportunity to grow. So rather than limit our developers to working exclusively with FFXI and its decades-old technology, I believe it would be better to allow them to gain experience in other development environments and bring back their learnings to FFXI. As such, I have elected to further downscale the scope of our Development team to provide more leeway for our operations to continue. The scope of our version updates will become quite compact as a result, but in exchange, we will focus on stabilizing our operations environment for the medium and long term. |

Welcome to dealing with RA. I'm sure he will try to spin it into some kind of win for him, which is doomed to fail. |

It should be like 80% show and 20% filler. They've got this season assbackwards. It's 95% filler and 5% show.
Yea, progress has been slow most episodes and I'm tired of seeing the senate crap. It's like going back to the PT when they had those senate scenes, so fking boring.
It's had it's moments so far but I think they could've condensed it. That whole art gallery sequence was just entirely unnecessary and it seems like the France planet is just a weird distraction although it's pretty obvious where they are going with it. |

Andor season 1 was very good, probably the only really good SW content to come out in years. It's far better than anything else, especially the sequels.
Season 2 has been a little on the slow side, I think they leaned too heavily into the political and social aspects, which hasn't been terrible but it's not as good as season 1 either.

Sure, but they're not pulling random people from XIV, they're pulling ex-XI devs, ex full-time devs anyway.
Didn't Fujito say in the beginning of the year that the development team will not be "full-time" on XI anymore?
Maybe? I have no idea, I don't recall but again it's possible I missed it.
Ugh. I can't imagine having to context switch between XI and XIV. Pretty sure I'd quit, that sounds like a nightmare. If they really do have their entire dev staff doing that, that's gotta be an angry group. |

The game is already struggling to remain profitable
This is patently, provably untrue, and has been refuted no small number of times. Like, feel however you like about the rest of it, but this part is straight up false.
To be clear, it remains profitable because they do NOTHING with it, so eventually they're not going to be able to coast anymore, but that day has not come yet, and isn't even visibly on the horizon.
I maintain that the best thing SE could do would be to update the launcher, combine the user management, and then offer bonuses in XIV and XI if you're subscribed to the other one. Wouldn't even need to be a discount! Just an extra free teleport or retainer in XIV and maybe another satchel in XI. They'd print money.

You only have to do one of the nation quest lines in the WotG mission/quest storyline, but all three are good. San d'Oria is a little more bland to me (but still solid), but I found Windy and Bastok excellent.
