No one is playing FFXIV. they are all playing Fflogs.

"but parsing isnt toxic."

All the while, Japan has a significantly higher clear rate, and their focus is clearing not parsing.

Note: after a wipe on a NA server, no one says a thing and just either pulls again or rage quits.
Not necessarily. I don’t waste time in parties that wipe to the one of the first mechanics of a given fight because how are they going to handle the mechanics later on if they can’t do the first one correctly? And I know a lot of people that have that same mindset—that’s less about parses and more about not wanting to waste time in a party that can’t do mechanics properly.


I also really hate this argument about JP versus NA/EU with regards to Savage clears and clear rates.

So what if JP have higher clear rates? A lot of them do the content purely because they view it as content they need to do. Meanwhile, people on NA/EU don’t do Savage simply because they don’t want to do it. Neither mindset is right or wrong; it’s all down to personal preference, and what people want out of the game. Some want to do everything the devs release. Others more would rather focus on things they enjoy—be they more casual aspects of the game, things like roleplaying or decorating housing, Gold Saucer, whatever.


My post had nothing to do with JP versus NA/EU mindsets with regards to tackling content nor parsers, so please do not twist it into that. I was simply addressing why some players prefer to do certain strats with specific roles. There’s nothing wrong about caring about uptime.
