What is with the constant mistreatment of the Garlean story?(6.1 Patch spoilers)

[aveyond-dreams]

If you thought the pixies were living in a happy and fun land then perhaps you should revisit Shadowbringers. Il Mheg is by far still one of the strongest zones in game, where the pixie's nonsense was balanced out by the dark and dangerous undertones. Endwalker with how eager it is to cast away longstanding concepts and threats warranted no such focus on "relief."

No expansion was as offensive in this regard except Endwalker. Shadowbringers was an expansion where we were constantly under threat and the occasional break - in the inn - was handled a lot better than the breaks at - the college dormitory - one fit far better than the other.

This direction is not sustainable. You have a story turning into more of a convoluted joke with each patch and gameplay that is failing on many fronts. At this rate it won't be long before every complaint that FFXIV is just a visual novel ends up validated. At that point there'll be nothing left to defend, with everything I liked about this game gone. All for the sake of fanartists and streamer clout. Please.
