I never had that happen once playing through it, the main quest line gives you full sets of gear throughout that always seem to bring you up to the relevant requirements as they come along.

They do that for old content but they don't generally add the full sets for patch MSQ stuff until later, like when the next expansion releases.

Still, 3 ilvl is nothing, hell you could easily just get one of the goon FCs to put together a group to run it with you because full parties ignore ilvl requirements.

Yep. You'll still obviously eat poo poo if your ilvl is really bad, but full premade parties aren't subject to ilvl requirements.

Unless you're talking about PF groups, which can set their own ilvl requirements you have to meet to join.

Ff14 being an mmo loving sucks, the game loving blows hard because it. Nothing screams mmo is bad actually than being in "current post game" getting to the first trial of the new story only to discover your item level (not your character level!!) Is 3 points below the required and now you have to suspend the immersion of the story and story events to go back to old areas to do limited daily roulettes for hours to get currency that is limited by days and hours in addition to the 20 different types of currency you already have plus random rear end items you have no idea where to get it from and you swear its made up cos they didnt have this poo poo last week or even in the prior 1000 hrs to buy maybe 1 overly expenisve sock that you will hope knock up the points so you can listen to some sick rear end ff4 music gently caress this dumb game its made for losers.

COVID is widely cited as the reason the most highly anticipated game on Switch still hasn't come out yet despite being announced in 2019. Not sure what you're getting at, but Sony was pretty open about the fact that the supply chain issues that constrained the PS5 is the reason they scrambled to go back and make so many games cross gen to rescue dismal projected sales numbers. Whether you disagree with the strategy, the phenomenon that precipitated it was something that hit the entire games industry pretty hard. You could argue that of all the platforms, Switch rode out the pandemic the most successfully because their platform is the least demanding from a production standpoint.

GoWR and HFW both started development around 2018, there's no way PS4 support got added more than halfway through development. You don't take a game designed around SSD transfer speeds and just patch in HDD support. Those were crossgen games from the start. Covid ate my homework does not explain the lack of PS5 exclusives.

That's true. I'd wager Sony internally delayed a lot of the year 1 & 2 PS5 projects to wait for sales numbers to catch up. I guess we'll never know for sure, but if Sony were able to make as many PS5s as there was demand for it, I really don't think we'd be in our current predicament.

Why would Sony do that? Sounds like a fine way to make lucky PS5 havers wish they had an Xbox for game pass.

I'm not sure how they can fix that. It's woven into the core of the game. They'd have to remove all the gear systems entirely and make the characters more reliant on their powers than guns, completely alter the combat, who knows what else to make it work. Project seems doomed.
