Thoughts on the 2.28 FFXIV patch

So, quick post on my thoughts on the 2.28 FFXIV patch.

Yoshi-P did a bunch of very small quality of life improvements for FFXIV... basic stuff like the ability to skip cutscenes that we've seen already, actually being able to repair gear in dungeons (but only your own, so too bad for the gimps who didn't level crafting) and Fantasia potions for RL money (at $10 each, you'd better REALLY want to be a Lalafell!) All things that people have been asking for since launch.

As for new content... let's see... they added the Novus weapon, next step in the progression from animus (requiring TONs more myth farming, and even more spiritbinding or gil buying!) and Sightseeing, which mostly consists of being AFK for hours at a time for hope to catch a specific weather in a specific location.

All designed to be a fucking waste of time.

My thoughts on this patch go back to this post in 2008: http://ascule.blogspot.com/2008/09/respecting-time-and-lack-thereof.html

That's all I have to say on this subject.

Wildstar anyone?
