Popular WoW content creator Bellular is praising FF14.

Yeah. It doesn't help that a portion of the FFXIV community is enraged by the strangest things. Simply liking or disliking specific characters in the story is enough to result in a lot of vitriol. The sort that I very rarely experienced during my time playing WOW and ESO. I've received the same reaction for suggesting that from time to time maybe glamour and hairstyles can be designed with a male character in mind first and foremost.

Isn't there a lot of anti-alliance/anti-horde stuff tho? Idk.

Every community is going to have things it gets up in arms over.

The XIV one is just bad around gatekeeping for some reason.

You have to like the story, you have to do raids, you have to do this, that and the other.

If you aren't good that means you are casual (it doesn't) if you don't raid you aren't hard-core (also no, it doesn't mean that)


The community here has weird definitions for things I still don't understand even after 10 years of being part of it.
