Discussing your 'unpopular' opinions

Amnesia.

How 95% of story characters who die end up not dying.

How bad guys turn good and all their atrocities are forgiven because, gosh darn, they said sorry!

I think that trend is being borrowed from the XIII series, to be frank.

Hildibrand quests aren't that funny. They're overrated.

MSQ roulette auto scrolling is too fast and makes reading the text hard.

I actually support and like the cashshop and wish the moogle shoes were put in there. Cause yes while I have no problem grinding for them.. I want them NOW. And waiting for 2 months until I'm honored to get them sucks. I'm guessing it's 2 months.. if it's not whatever.. it's still WAY TOO LONG. T.T

Gathers should be forced to meld as much as crafters and have 90+ step rotations to gather one item per node.

We need a Magic Meta for 2 whole expansions while physical players whine.

RDPS needs to go.. Find other ways to make classes interesting and feel unique since the balance team seems lost.

I think Alisiae and especially Alphinaud should be the face of FFXIV and not Y'shtola. I understand she is popular in Japan, I understand that she was a bigger deal in 1.0. That does not change the fact that Alphinaud and to a lesser extent Alisaie are more part of the plot of this game. Give me flipping either twin in Disidia please.

I am so tired of seeing new content / bosses that are just a copy or mash up from old Final Fantasy games. I don't want Kefka as a boss i want something that relates to the world of Eorzea, i want them to build the world more not just pander to Fanboys. It was cute at first with LoTA but enough is enough.

I also hate Meta. Kudos to the other few who also do.

Why is it that we've been through two major expansion and yet the Wedding Venue remains unchanged? Or expanded? Or...anything? (Actually I don't care why, I just want a new wedding venue gddmn it.)

I love when people complain about the gameplay/job mechs/playerbase all in the name of FARMING ENDGAME CONTENT MORE EASILY. Or worse, the ones who just want JESUS OF RAIDING top-tier. I just... I respect the skills but usually the attitude makes me vomit. (Those insane people doing old synched content with nearly all heals or nearly all tanks? That's the people who want a challenge. The bad-asses. Get you some.)

Zenos is my favorite Garlean to date. The 4.2 cliffhanger makes me happy. However I hate that SE can't decided if Garlemald is Shitlord Central or more like the Empire of FF12. Make up your mind guys.

The fact that Sharlaya is so uber insular that they would murder people to stop the spread of some of their teachings (AST storyline) should be more of a plot point than it is. Like, seriously. Also where are the twin's parents? Was this explained in 1.0? Encyclopedia Eorzea? I want 1.0 cutscenes in the Unending Journey.

I also prefer the English Voice actors. Except Lakshmi. It's like they asked some random chick to say some lines who thought playing to the character was above her. :/ Also, there should be some 'nod' in the game to Yugiri's original voice actress. Or memorial. Or something. (I could listen to Zenos for HOURS.)

I second this. I think a Renewing of Vows Ceremony or something extra would be a nice addition.

Mind elaborating on this? Are you saying you find it hilarious when people want to be able to repeatedly farm content as smoothly and efficiently as possible, or something else? Because it sounds like the former, and I have to say, if I’m going to be doing an Extreme primal 99 times for 99 tokens (or until I get the mount), I would prefer them to be as quick and painless as possible. I don’t really see anything wrong with that, but maybe I’m just misinterpreting what you mean.

The meta is healthy and 99% the people who usually complain about it don't perform at a level where it matters.
