Song Lyrics in FFXIV: Compilation, Discussion, and Interpretation

[Anonymoose]

If he said what I think he said at that event, I'm slightly worried about his job security. :x

I'm thinking he may have.

BUT I don't think it's worth anybody getting bent out of shape over.

There's important context - this event was in London. Think of his audience; European FFXIV players have been playing on European servers that are European in the sense that Doctor Evil would /airquotes if he said it outloud. Think of the frustration that Titan must have caused for many of them. All anybody said was exactly what a lot of them were thinking, and they thought it was funny as hell.

That's the stronger defense, but let's also consider the more realistic one, even if it's technically quite weak: Even after they placate the ratings boards, online interaction cannot be rated or regulated. This game will subject you to worse than that literally every day in Duty Finder.

I'd lose a little respect for SE if they even bothered to bring it up again.

Especially after I just spent this entire patch playing Drakengard 3.

As a french player who used to run Titan in 2.0 (lagfest) around 8-9pm, I totally agree with that.

It was what we were all thinking and I shouted it last night after being Lagg Landslided off the platform in titan hard mode. (No lol Dragoon references please :P even my FC members said I was miles away from it and then just suddenly went sideways at speed!)However you must remember that the event was for age 16+ onlym (on the ticket) so in terms of language it was the norm of vocabulary that most kids in the Uk know this word and use it quite often at aged 10 and even lower. And the crowd cheer reaction was pure as in no one gave a .... about it.


On the subject of the songs, is there any chance of adding credits to them i.e. who wrote the lyrics, composed the music and sang the song, in my nerdism mind its info I would like to have, I know Nobuo Uematsu wrote the music for Answers and alot of the 1.0 soundtrack.
