  • They were already floating against bad publicity because of famous “anti-woke” streamers constantly giving them shit, this move sadly doesn’t help: I understand they wanted to shift away the focus from COE33 - after all, it got enough publicity as it stands.

    But they could’ve taken so many different approaches; like, for example, instituting a different prize and move Clair Obscur to their own category (I don’t know, call it “shine of the year” or something), but CLEARLY state you are doing this in honor of Indie Awards core concept, which is to highlight less known games.

    Calling out a very minimal and almost accidental usage of AI that has been patched out for months just to ban it out… meh.



  • You do have a point, there are things to do. But they’ve been the same four/five activities since ARR. Those activities don’t really require you to actually explore either, you only need to drop inside of the map (thanks to teleporting) and go straight to point xy. That’s it! The only thing requiring you to explore is the sightseeing log - an activity which very few players partake in without looking up a wiki.

    It’s still my favorite mmo, don’t get me wrong! I just wish there was more unique content to each map in order to make worlds feel more alive in general, force more player to hop around instead of lingering around Limsa’s crystal while waiting for queue to pop.

    Late to the comment section, but the game works pretty much on any distro, thanks to the XIVLauncher flatpak. I know the original launcher also works fine, but XIVL is such an improvement to the original, it really is worth trying out!

    Used it on OpenSUSE, Fedora, Debian, you name it.
