Ice > Wind makes sense. Wind is movement, ice (well, cold) slows down movement. The ones that don't make sense to me are Wind > Fire (sure, a candle might be extinguished by a gust of wind but large fires are actually spread by the wind) and, to a lesser extent, Water > Earth (wind has a much larger claim on erosion than water does; moisture in soil actually helps to prevent erosion, and if you're thinking in big terms only like rivers carving out a canyon then why not give erosion to ice because glaciers have done more than rivers ever will). Still makes little sense that Water doesn't beat Fire, and electricity technically doesn't boil water.

I apologize in advance for the sheer amount of trolling this next sentence is going to get, but... elements made more sense in FFXI than they do in FFXIV.

not really trolling, it's a pretty much well founded opinion. I too think the FFXI weakness cycle of elements was making a lot more sense, and is also more complete than 2 seperate cycles that does not cross one another.

I will add to that and say Elements made more sense in pretty much every other FF game than this... but yea, it really is just a minor thing....

I would have liked more complexity... Where there isn't a wheel... but unique relationships between all of them... Like earth being strong against lightning AND fire... but super weak against wind, water and Ice... and taking normal damage from earth based attacks...
