Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[Cach]

You know when people make Hot Take threads and we end up with popular takes instead? Well, I'm doing that now so hold on:

• Healers are right to be mad about the role's current (and past) design. Yoshi's "go play Ultimate" was WOWdev levels of disconnect and he didn't get nearly as much backlash as it deserved.
• Hroth/Viera players are right to be mad, the fact a a single hobbyist mod maker puts the whole megacorp to shame is absolutely pathetic.
• The above two points are based on observable, reproducible and easily understood facts, there are no rooms for "I feels", "In my experiences" or "I would rathers".
• Endwalker story dropped the ball on so many ways I don't want to make this post larger.
• Lyse is the best Scion only because of the fact that she had the decency to leave once her arc was done.
• Modern 4-man dungeon design is bad and breeds increasingly psychotic players.
• ARR Summoner was fine, someone on the team must really personally hate pets and/or DoT based damage, or maybe there is some kind of technical limitation they wont admit to.
• Most FFXIV content creators are just another arm of Square's PR team and not to be taken seriously.
• "just unsub" and "respect muh time" and their consequences have been a disaster to FFXIV discourse at large.

There. Have a good weekend everyone.

Pretty sure they have admitted in the past that they have problems with player-controlled pets, which is why there aren't any anymore. They're pretty much glorified DoTs now.

People asking for more consequences and death in the main story doesn’t mean they’re asking for the game to be game of thrones, nor is it even remotely similar.

People asking for more difficulty in casual/mid core content doesn’t mean they’re asking for the game to be elden ring or dark souls, nor is it even remotely similar.

Yes. Yoshida himself dislikes pet classes
