Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[Skivvy]

Everything being a reference to a previous Final Fantasy game is very off putting to people who are not franchise fanboys and haven't played every FF game since the beginning of time.

The level of fan service is crazy. I've said this before in other threads, but I hope if ever there is another FF MMO, it tries to create and maintain its own identity vs. using past FF titles as a crutch. Then you have cross-overs which are shoe-horned into the game and get full raid series (looking at you, Nier). Makes no sense.

I know that there are FF staples that are generally found in most of their games, Chocobos, airships, Cid, Moogles, job types, certain mobs, etc, but XIV has gone far past the usual items.
