@madofuyu0402 The loud minority will always appear to be bigger than the silent majority. Your work is great as is your passion for the game. Don't let small minded people ever undermine your love for XIV or its characters. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see more.
8.0's design approach was discussed before we even got 7.0. We still know very little and yet people will still act like the vitriol hatred toward DT forced SE to pivot. Its baffling how delusional people are. I dont like to say LARP but these people talk more than they play.
As much as I sometimes respect some of the big content creators, criticism and feedback alone, no single person or even dozen people are responsible for "reviving" FFXIV, which is a stupidly ignorant statement in of itself.
Xenosys Vex may have single handedly revived FF14.
He, at the very least, breathed life into it through his criticism.
Everyone else has either given up on it or fallen by the wayside largely through no fault of their own.
This is why people must allow the game to be criticized constructively, sometimes harshly.
@ButchX3 It would depend on your goal.
If you go hard, getting to current patch Probably a week per expac so 5-6. Doing all the additional content such as Raids (8 & 24 man), Relics (These include their own maps), Deep Dungeon, Manderville Quests etc. would quadruple that time.
