Probably about when they had functional magic, giant robots, and airships.

By catering to twitter players who by now are probably now knee-deep in Disney Dreamlight Valley instead of staying in FFXIV.

I mean I was joking but I feel like it should be pointed out the real world had boats, cars and even (arguably) airplanes before hamburgers.

I do love a breaded style chicken burger!, I have never been that into hamburgers personally.

Instead we got Meteion, Hermes, and Venat shoved down our throats combined with an overstayed visit paid to the Loporrits and the Scions doing a funny every so often. Spare me the indignity.

I shouldn't have had to rewrite and offer an alternative, more satisfying conclusion to this saga myself, seeing as the MSQ was unable to. The sand in this game's hourglass is running out, slipping through numerous cracks and instead of being patched and repaired we have the same defense squad insisting that everything is fine and that those of us who can see the signs should just leave. Because goodness forbid those of us who can recognize and appreciate better storytelling be catered to as opposed to those who seemingly would be content with just about anything, which is roughly where I'd categorize Endwalker.

I'm sorry to be so blunt, but before you attack anyone, you should know that you are projecting an image of someone who is :

1. Convinced you are right. Always.
2. Atrociously egocentric. No, your alternative is not better. YOU think it's better, it's not (and never was) the same thing. Thank you for making the effort to differentiate between the two.

And yet I like your posts. They provide an opportunity to discuss a game I love. I tend to agree with your opinions... While noticing, as time goes by, that all those who dare to oppose you are systematically labelled as "passive-aggressive"; "bad faith"; and other nice words.

But perhaps it would be good to deflate your ego a bit.

In a game where a country has cars and modern-day trains? Also not wondering about pizza or the fact the twins mom made lunches for their father when they were dating that could be kept cold?

Actually the first burger was made in the 1880s.

1. I have been right about numerous things throughout this game's lifespan and have yet to be proven wrong by history. Did you think this was my first time being the subject of this community's ire, only to be vindicated later on?

2. The version of me that exists inside their heads is not my responsibility. I have no reason to advocate for things that do not benefit or concern me in the slightest.

I call that which I see by what it is. Nothing more and nothing less. This isn't a story that will be remembered with the same fondness as that of Heavensward and Shadowbringers. Unless things start improving, it will be seen as the turning point which broke FFXIV.

Debatable. The invention of the hamburger is a little vague, but it's generally considered to be sometime in the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The Wright brothers flew their first airplane in 1903. Cars are a little harder to pin down, depending if you count steam-powered vehicles or just gasoline-powered automobiles. Boats have been around for thousands of years, which is why I didn't actually mention them in my previous post.

Of course, my real point was that it's a fantasy setting, not real-world medieval times, so our world's history is irrelevant, but.

You are proving me right. No, your opinion has never been validated by the history of this game.
