I think something like this would be a huge mistake if they actually implemented it, and would result in the westernification of the game and it would end up being another WoW experience

it is, at its base, a JRPG, and that comes with its own direction and design philosophy. if they add in some kind of voting system, it would likely be aimed at primarily Japanese players of the game and the direction its heading in because thats the culture they are more familiar with.

in the end, I doubt we would ever see the implementation of this kind of idea. If you dont like a movie franchise or its direction, dont go see the next movie, its that simple. If you dont like a game direction, unsub or stop playing. there is no difference. there is no player voting, and especially not one based on length of sub. this has got to be one of the dumbest ideas. I mean in whatever country you live in, would you want ONLY the old to vote, or maybe have 2 votes? I mean by your logic they have lived in the country longer so should have a better idea of whats best for the country right?

What? The game is already as western as can be...

FFXI is a WAY, WAY, more Japanese MMO experience for example.
Sekiro is another example of what the pinnacle of modern Japanese gaming is, and so on. Nothing like FFXIV.

This game is slowly turning into a WoW clone more and more and getting more and more westernized every new update. Zero toon actual customization aside from looks (no custom abilities set, feats, talents, skill point distribution, nothing), extremely dumbed down and easy with zero complexity and challenge outside some few areas like extremes, savages and Eureka, etc..

As someone who played during the time that the game allowed cross class and point allocation.....everyone picked nearly the same thing anyway. if you didnt put all your points into str as a melee you were doing something wrong and needed to spend 10000 company seals to reset your point allocation. This isn;t the freedom of expression you think it was, it was just an extra imaginary step.

also all the jank thats been removed from xiv were ideas borrowed from wow. if anything xiv is an evolution and what wow could be if it stopped harrassing women and turning them into fruit
