Speaking for myself, I was replaying chapter 1 last night. In my mind, I was thinking of what they could have added story/lore-wise to fill in some gaps. Then I started going over a wish list of what I would add to the game. It ended up being, well, more of what they already have - more dungeons (Pitoiss!), more hunts, more banter, more set pieces, more! more! more! This could easily be a 200h game, and I wouldn't care one bit.

The way I figure it, I'll never understand what could possess someone to spend money on that game, but some percent of it is going to Squenix as free money, and if that free money is invested back into proper FF games... well, it's their money to waste. 
With that said, the people spending the most money on games of that sort are probably the equivalent of gambling addicts, so they're probably more in need of an intervention than a slap. >_>;

Because one of the selling points of the release was to have extensive modding capabilities. That's what was advertised. Not just better lighting and tall grass.
Edit: on the SE website they are only advertising the Mod Organizer for FFXV WE. 90% chance the Level Editor is cancelled.

SE should have cut a better deal with the revenue for this, because I bet they're kicking themselves for not making it a constant revenue stream at more frequent intervals and with a higher cut instead of a upfront thing and every quarter with additional fee's , and then only more royalties after a certain threshold of sales is passed.

I knew it was gonna make a shit ton of money just by sheer virtue of mobile gaming being extremely popular in Japan and even in the US a lot of people play these sorts of games where you manage an army/kingdom. Slap the Final Fantasy name on it and you've instantly doubled your chances of making money by using a recognizable brand.

Unless the new Comrades standalone has new recipes that carry over into the main game I highly doubt i'm going to download it. The concept was interesting and I really liked the combat changes they made. Like with the new magic system being tied to MP, the sigils, and the unique effects were great but that grind was miserable and extremely repetitive, especially with the load times. And dear christ, the protect the house/hut/ market missions were so broken.
The new standalone version is free for those who have the normal version. The old version will be deleted, so you need to download the standalone version.
And also, it will carry over your progress and all, except the trophies. I don't know what will happen with the trophies.. and they have not say anything about it.
PD: I really don't want to start all over again just for the god damn trophies.

It really makes me wonder, what was their reasoning to release Comrades standalone besides getting some cash out of it?
The expansion was never popular and after the first few weeks there was barely anyone playing it. Maybe they thought someone would just be interested in it for the sake of it being a multiplayer game, but the game doesn't even have a proper gathering hub system.
Tbh I was hoping they'd implement its combat features into the main game instead somehow, but instead they decided to double down on it being a separate experience, which is a shame.

It's also an odd choice since one of the biggest complaints about the game is that it feels fragmented even with these DLCs due to lack of integration and in response to that SE is basically fragmenting the game even further by taking something that was at the least accessible from the menus and separating it from the game altogether. Comrades standalone as a whole just seems like so much wasted resources for nothing.
Honestly it pisses me off that the gap between the standalone Comrades update and the last patch release from March(?) is this wide.
Seeing as the community numbers aren't exactly that high on consoles, and almost non-existent on PC, i just can't see how the team can expect more than a mild spike to happen for Comrades' player base once it releases. I hate feeling this way but with my already low desire to get back into Comrades again, i would have rather wanted updates for the main game this month while letting Comrades be put to rest after it's March patch. :/
At least the XIV collab still exists.
