FFXIV 8.0: Evercold (January 2027)

I need that job background as a wallpaper

[Vaspinne]

I was thinking that exact same thing lol

I like the idea of Evolved Mode but I am afraid people are just gonna figure out the most optimized rotation and shun/exclude anyone not using the most optimal set up

[Gokulo]

I need to see it in action before I judge how I feel, right now they're just saying a bunch of nothing really. Will need to stay up for the dev panel

Oh absolutely. The whole min/max world first savage mentality will happen lol. That being said, it seems pretty obvious Evolved mode is what they want going forward and they'll eventually dump Reborn mode when everyone gets used to Evolved mode.

But if Evolved mode doesn't address how fucking boring low level content is when you have barely any abilities, then yeah that'll be lame. But so far it seems like they're addressing a TON of complaints so I'm optimistic

[Gokulo]

Ohh, if Evolved mode turns out to also be a way to give you better gameplay in low level content I'm all in

[Vaspinne]

Evangelion???? WTF lmao

[Koul]

Shut the fuck up. Eva x FF14

[Anoat]

[Vaspinne]

[Anoat]

Yeah he made an appearance last fanfest and there was some temporary backlash as he was a NFT bro of some sort. I forget the exact hate but something along those lines.

[Vaspinne]

Ohhhhhhh that makes a lot of sense. So he's not a stubborn set in their way old head, but a "young" techbro

[Anoat]

It’s kind of nuts they announced PS4 end of service and Switch 2 launch when the Switch 2 is only slightly more powerful than the PS4 lol

[Anoat]

Aimi is so short lmao
