The 10th anniversary aetherobics video is a wonderful treat. Easily bringing a smile to one's heart (and reminding you that perhaps you still need one of those emotes). Kudos to the lady who manages to perform it all with a straight face and happy smile. Well done!
Thank you Square Enix - Aetherobics Vide4o

07-23-2023, 04:32 AMStormpeaks"a wonderful treat" I really hate to be negative but this is an MMORPG not a fitness trainer, why are we encouraging them to make fitness videos now ? what's next ? Cooking videos ? Maybe shopping videos ?Quote:

At least they're saying for people to get up and be a little bit active, since sitting down at the computer for hours at a time is bad for your well being. -
07-23-2023, 05:45 AMStormpeaks1st of all I am not crapping on OP for it, but I dont see why we should thank the company that is doing an MMORPG for a fitness videoQuote:

07-23-2023, 05:51 AMCStrife912Yep this sort of stuff is really harmless, the cookbook has been out a while and the amount of merch crossovers they've done this is like nothing of concern. This doesn't affect anyone its a harmless videoQuote:

Just let grinches be grinches. They live a sad life.
To OP the person was probably able to keep a straight face cause they were told to do the exercises for a school.
SE has been known to do joke videos. This wasnt the first nor will it be the last.
Like this one!

07-23-2023, 06:39 AMRenaltI've pointed out negative things before and have never been called a hater or anything of the sort. It's almost like...it depends on the person and how they say it and how often. Almost like they have a reputation.Quote:

I missed the times when they would post silly videos like the Phone Down, Eyes Up video. -

You may be wondering, "Why an exercise video!?" With many of us working from home during the last couple of years or simply preferring to stay indoors, we thought it'd be nice to have some simple and easy-to-follow stretches for short breaks during work or prolonged gaming sessions.
There may be plenty of other exercise videos already out there on the internet, but we felt that some of our Warriors of Light may be more motivated if we used movements and music from FFXIV.
Quote:
So 80% of the "why the video was created" was to motivate us to move our bodies, 19% being that it will be beneficial for our health while we enjoy it. The remaining 1% was because we just wanted to do something fun for everyone!
Unfortunately there are person incapable of having any kind of amusement.
In a game where the main character is "hope incarnated" this kind of attitude is antithetical to the game itself. -
07-23-2023, 07:15 AMTheMightyMolluskAnd saying anything positive about the game results in being called a white knight and an SE shill and being told that you're wrong because everything you enjoy is actually terrible and you're terrible for liking it.Quote:

I'm sorry guys, but I really just don't see the issue with the video. In fact, having little things like this are nice to have beside a game; keeping the community team engaged with the playerbase. It's just a cute little video made in fun showing off some emotes, it really isn't deep at all. I really think players should pick their battles in terms of criticism.

That's a mood Lauront.

07-23-2023, 02:22 PMAword3213I saw people posting criticisms about the game and got accused of white knighting the moment they disagreed on the takes of certain feedback, mostly by you actually.Quote:

If they really wanted people to thank them, it would have been a high-quality rendered vid of the female scions working out in 80s-style iridescent spandex gym wear.

07-24-2023, 09:24 PMLuciferNacht
Totally agreed with OP! The videos were awesome!
I'd love a whole fitness video and would love to see more!! Considering I've always wanted to learn the dances, having videos of all the in game dances would be great exercise.
Kinda like a FF14 themed just dance! -
07-24-2023, 09:30 PMLuciferNachtMiqo please... you're in multiple posts whining about various aspects of the game lol. There is nothing "single" about your issues. Most of your engagement is just absolutely negative and you wouldn't know what constructive criticism was if it bit you in the tail.Quote:

If people liked the video, your opinion on the matter doesn't matter. Clearly it wasn't made for you. -
07-24-2023, 09:37 PMNekiUnoYeah I think it is a good thing that they can still do silly and informative stuff like that after all of these years. We have to sit down for hours and hours on in and it does alot of damage to your body and eyes, so doing stuff like this helps with relieving with some of the pain and issues with prolong sitting.Quote:

Been gone on vacay a couple weeks. Came back. Reminded people will literally complain about anything.
