Yoshi-P on Character Growth

[Alahra]

The game can support different setup because it already does.
The game can support someone not being optimally geared for content, because it already does.
The game can support someone not being optimally skilled for content, because it already does.
The game can support the small minority of people who want real challenge, and on-the-edge gear, setup, and skills, because it already does.
And all those things works fine together...

I'm not really sure what you're getting at—but there's a common argument against providing character choices in FFXIV that basically says it wouldn't work in the game. That's what I was referring to.

Yes, and I pointed out that that argument is just hollow. Any discrimination people are fearing can already be in the game. Yet, it mostly doesn't prevent people from doing what content they want.
(Except Gordias, but Yoshi-P himself acknoledged that Gordias was really flawed)
