Regardless of the rest of the franchise XIV is still doing well. And elemental weaknesses are not something you can just slap into the game as is and call it a day without huge overhauls to several jobs.

'This enemy is weak to fire' works great in older gams where your black mage has fire, thunder and blizzard etc doing the same thing but used against different enemies to exploit weaknesses.

When your black mage is cycling through fire burst phases burning their MP and ice regen phases to get it back while throwing out lightning dots, and you need them to be both viable but also not brokenly OP to the point of not taking other dps jobs in tiers of raid encounters etc, that doesn't work so well.
oh no it doesnt refer to that specifically. the quote was from fanfest 2019 i believe..

but in general a lot of people seem to making a lot of comments about how bland and boring thigns are right now and many of the things that come up aretypically elements that are common in final fantasy games. it seems to be quite a common opinion that they need to bring some of this finalfantasy depth back in one form or another
