But all from the above pieces from the puzzle have just about always been on point, so for active players none of it is a surprise. Conversely, several areas are already downhill since Heavensward -- namely, dungeons. The Burn, the brand new locale for your patch, is essentially a straight line until a reliable jaw-dropping payoff on the FFXIV Gil end. Saint Mocianne's Arboretum Hard is just as impressive visually, however the "hard" moniker mainly just describes "remixed." We need additional difficulty levels to avoid dungeon content from becoming stale: reduced to mere spam to earn gear tokens. About that.

Unless you're hardcore raider you might start to feel fatigue in 4.4, when you haven't already: some from the paint is chipping in specific areas with this pristine manor. It's after all this, over 5yrs since Final Fantasy XIV relaunched as A Realm Reborn, that I'm beginning to fully revolt up against the token/tomestone system. In short, endgame progress beyond hardcore raiding is generally measured in gear earned by tomestones, which might be netted by grinding out content like dungeons or some other instanced activities.

Tokens certainly are a tried and true MMO concept and they are fine theoretically (it's nice to ultimately acquire an exact bit of gear you want should you fail to Buy FFXIV Gil please the RNG Gods), but FFXIV leans too heavily to them to support long term play. Although Square Enix might be finished with much in the next expansion (5.0) already, I really hope we obtain to experience a big shakeup that requires making more activities viable for earning quality gear. Even the weekly loot lockouts are beginning grate because the system actively impedes the gearing of alts.
