Taking a break, would like to vent a little...

Why do you need to tell us?

Damn, I'm playing a lot of different games while waiting for 6.2... I really should have told you this too, I'm sure you would have liked to know that!

Nah I can't, you looks like a weirdo, maybe next time, okey ?

Is it the eyepatch? I bet its the eyepatch. Or the muttonchops. But probably the eyepatch.

For the OP: There is nothing wrong with taking a break. Whenever you decide to return, youre going to have plenty to do. Some of it highly thought of by the community, some of it not so highly. If possible, i would try to ignore the hype and equally ignore anyone harping on points they didnt like. This is your story, so you get to decide how you feel about it.

Is it because I look like an 80s Bassist? That's how someone described my plate and it kinda was voted anonymously on the server that THAT was exactly it. And here I was trying to aim to look as close to Big Boss as possible.

Because it is a forum here to provide feedback - which the poster did in their post - and an avenue for discussion with other players? After all, the devs ask for feedback at the end of a sub, and this is but another venue for feedback. Why do you feel the need to question it? I'd maybe agree if the poster had just dropped a line to say they're taking a break, but it's not that, so...

I genuinely don't understand this.

Then I'd question your exposure to those other venues they mentioned. That or a case of wilful failure of comprehension.

I don't know a single person who said this. Everyone I know and everyone I watched stream or on YT loved it. Everyone even said "I didn't think Shadowbringers could be topped but they did it." response.

Then search a little wider. Either here, reddit XIV discussion, or if you wanna go farther afield, there is 5ch, and even some threads on mainsub reddit... I'd also question how authentic a view you're getting from many streamers given the reaction they typically receive to any critical commentary.

With that said...

I suggest not listening to other people's opinions about Endwalker and just experiencing it for yourself. The more you listen to others you will probably get spoiled.

^this is decent advice.

Same reason you chose to reply to this thread.

Because they can.
