That might seem a frivolous complaint, when we're talking about an MMO already filled with particle effect weapons/armor and enemy models ripped wholesale from other Final Fantasy titles, but this is in blatant disregard for FFXIV's extant set of design principles and is a general hallmark for a self-destructive slippery-slope that has in the past ruined better games.

Case and point:


Considering we already have "silly" stuff like tanks in bikinis and lalas in chocobo suits, you are years too late to complain about the game going the silly route.
