In light of the recent events, I naturally got to revisit this interesting post, and the fact that the devs have the memory of a goldfish on certain things put aside, I'm inevitably being called to consider the specific bit about "making content that should be enjoyed by all players".
Casual players being denied significant content until the two recent releases (CE and OC)? I'm sure that Forked Tower is being enjoyed by all players as well. Do we plan to also remove the storymodes of raids in the future to stay in line with the new direction? As we all know, challenging XIV content is enjoyed by all the players.
Everything being streamlined so much that everything always boils down to the same bosses with the same mechanics in the middle of the same nonsensical arenas? We can't have fun with our jobs this expansion either, so I'm sure every type of player will feel represented in this game because the current pve model is universally enjoyed by all the players.
Introducing new pve content like Variant dungeons, yet not even bothering trying something else with said pve? Hell, even Orthos has was already being streamlined to bog standard XIV pve, because again, the current pve model is enjoyed by all the players.
What are we complaining about? Casuals strive when it's about fates. Fates are enjoyed by all the players, after all, as well.
If FFXIV's content is very important to the devs so that as many players do enjoy themselves, what even are you doing? Why are you doubling down on the exact same formula for literally everything that you design?
