What do you guys think?

I think they're spot-on!

Saying anything negative about the game seems to have people react as if it’s a personal attack on themselves

Yep, people tie their own identity with that of this game and the community, so in turn any criticism of it is a criticism of them. It would be hard to find a much more tribalistic community than what can be found here.

Every single gaming community is tribalistic to the max. You see it no matter where you go. Mobile games, fps games. In twitch chat or on twitter. If you make an observation that points out a flaw in someones favorite video game, you're personally attacking them and their entire life. Its sadly not just XIV.
