Agreed. Active threats would be much more interesting.Quote:

I like the idea of warring for land against the Garleans on the actual field though, with our victories or losses in FATEs or quests or events granting us or losing us land against then. -
10-13-2016, 10:18 AMChiramuThe four factions make Eorzea seem like it's lovey-dovey though. The Garlean threat doesn't seem large with those four factions all together. If the factions were warring AND you have to deal with the Garleans at the same time then there is some conflict :).Quote:

From our perspective sure, the Eorzean Alliance seems unstoppable and amazing, but we don't know the size of our enemy; it seems a thematic waste to have the alliance fall apart when it is grounded on a "Our common enemy is strong enough we NEED a combined army to face it" mentality.Quote:

All this to say I agree things seem peaceful right now though, but we're also above the noise at the moment.
EDIT:
What I want to see is Thancred really confronting us about the political nonsense we've gotten involved in. We're born to kill gods, and signed on with a private organization formed specifically to accomplish that task, but because of Alphinaud and us, we've become distracted with far more mortal affairs like the Alliance Battle thing we had where we fought Rauhbaun to bring pride to Ishgard. -

I'd be careful with this post.
-Posting seeking to damage or disparage Square Enix, the forum, FINAL FANTASY XIV, or others.
-Posting content with the intention of criticizing either Square Enix staff or specific individuals.
-Taking any other actions that are deemed inappropriate by Square Enix in our sole discretion.
They take their rules seriously. -

You may have liked 1.x but the overall gaming community did not. A fact made evident by its very public commercial flop that nearly bankrupted the whole company.Quote:

They'll just keep playing the game they enjoy. People who don't, however, want things changed. Therefore, they complain. -
10-13-2016, 01:59 PMChiramuThat 1000 years war would've been a nice place for a game :). Why are we in peace time when we could be involved in that war? :OQuote:
