Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[IdowhatIwant]

The game brings back characters to often because they were popular for an expansion.

I know right? He didn't invite me to his birthday party!

YOU MONSTER, FRISBEE!

Modders care more about Viera, Hrothgar, Highlander and Roegadyn than the devs do, and probably ever will - it seems if your race is taller than 5'4 you simply don't matter.

There, I said it

It's frustrating that people never die in this story. Villains who die come back from the dead with some conflicted emotions and become good. Supporting characters who die in emotional scenes are immediately brought back.
It feels like there's a lot of cheap emotional moments at the cost of killing characters only for them to just come back. G'raha Tia has died 3 times so far. Y'shtola has died 3 times and had a close call in Stormblood, each of the scions has died once, Gaius died, Zenos died twice, Gosetsu died and then came back after sacrificing himself, and so on.
I don't think anyone significant has stayed dead since Haurchefaunt and Moenbyrda, despite there being death scenes for supporting characters in every single expansion since.

Papalymo? Ysayle? Minfilia?

Papalymo? Ysayle? Minfilia?

Papalymo, Ysayle, and Minfilia all tend to be forgotten about by folks complaining about a lack of character deaths. Conversely, their deaths tend to be bemoaned by people who believe they were carelessly thrown in the trash during Heavensward, or in Minfilia's case Heavensward and Shadowbringers.

Maybe it's the carelessness of their deaths that makes them not register for both folks, but in opposite ways? Dunno.

Ysayle's death was not careless or bad writing at all. The reason they stopped killing off main characters after Heavensward is because everyone kept getting mad at the writers for it, at a certain point they decided their mental health is more important than receiving hate mail from some some neckbeard who's custom body pillow character got killed off in game.

The guitar was the worst thing to add to FFXIV.
Just because a crowd is somewhere doesn't mean we want an obnoxious bard playing.

Being bad at the game's combat is a state that one has to choose to move past from, including ceasing to blame others for their mistakes.

Venat was right.

I am glad to not be the only one lol, especially when they hit the same notes over and over again parked near the market board. I like guitars but only at a distance.
