Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[Remish]

Hot take this whole thread projects so much negativity that most normal people shake their heads because let's face it who wants to be around negative Nancy's all the time?

Toxic Positivity is equally as mentally harmful as negative Nancy's. There is a time and place for both.

I love pineapple on pizza. Fight me.

Wolves' Den missy!

The FFXIV dev team has incredibly weird priorities that often do not match the playerbase.

I strongly suspect there's an issue with how they aggregate criticism/feedback and how that is presented to the devs. Probably translation in some capacity.

Ex: Housing. It hasn't fundamentally changed since 2.1, and the problems have been incredibly obvious for years now. There's no reason it should be like it is still. More wards just kicks the can down the road; it still has the same fundamental problem which has never been addressed and it doesn't seem like there are any plans to.

E: To clarify, that's not to say what's here is bad. It's mostly great. I just think the devs do not properly prioritize QOL and other issues. I think they severely undervalue how much players do want those things.

Hot take: Some people don't think this game is that good.

People need to stop comparing this game to WoW. Wow died in 2009 when they wanted us to raid naxx again. That’s like 13 years ago, I’m sorry you missed the boat on vanilla and bc, but quit talking like these games exist simultaneously. Arr beta was like 5 years post WoW. Just cuz some dumbass got into it in 2015 and your dumb enough to watch other people play your videogames for you; and then they inform your opinions on said games, doesn’t grant you magical context on the lifetime of said game. You sound ridiculous to us boomer gamers, like a 30 year old who just got high for the first time and won’t shut up about it when most of us have been doing drugs since middle school. If that analogy offends the puritans, how bout you sound like a 30 year old that just got their drivers license and won’t shut up about it when most of us have been driving since middle school

I wonder why they play it?

Why did I get a feeling of deja vu from reading these?

Doesn't matter what game it is. There will always be a guy paying $15/m to tell everyone how said game is a waste of their $15/m.

So, I'm looking at a "Join Date: 2021" account saying that those comparing XIV to WoW --who so far have only notably been Shougun, who's played pretty consistently since early 1.x, and only where those comparisons are perfectly relevant-- should stop because they don't know the game's "context on the lifetime" of XIV...

Can anyone make this make sense?
