The State of Homogenization: A New (Healer) Player's Perspective

[Kuritzkale]

Wow.. that didn't take long to be said... is this the new lazy buzz phrase of argument on these forums lately?

New? Most FFXIV players can't even imagine what the game would be like if it were different from how it is now because they're new and 99% of coverage of ff14 is positive to an outrageous degree that is IMO completely unjustified, or if they're not new they're so bought into EVERYTHING the dev team does because in their eyes they can do no wrong, even though they've shown quite a bit recently (and in the past) that they change stuff for the worse regularly, or in general just seem disconnected from what players actually want, and just push for more homogenization (see: hissatsu kaiten removal, trick attack/mug change, everything they've done with healers/most jobs in general since shadowbringers)

It truly is like a colt religion of the almighty SE with Yoshi as their savior leader. I get the game is blowing up enough to where it's often the most tweeted game and all but wow... it just impresses me everytime I see that strong level of dismissal as if they never had something to be passionate about in life and be able to criticize it so it can continue to improve...

It's got to be a discord group that is telling each other to say this on the forums to rile people up, right? RIGHT?

Or they either simply like the changes or don't care and continue to support it.
