    You're not going to convince me that having a fancy dinner in Aymeric's mansion where he treated the player with respect and not goofiness is in any way comparable to seeing G'raha Tia wipe the cheese falling off his burger or Alisae taking the pickles off of hers.
    We weren't in Medieval Ishgard....we were in Sharlyan that is leagues ahead in Technology with a more Modern aesthetic.
    There was no disrespect to the player or the games story. You are caught up on literally nothing, and think this criticism bears any weight to the game and effected it in such a negative way that its worth spending so much time criticizing it.

    Also, there was no McDonolds, there was an Eatery that has created and served vast amounts of different types of Food. A hamburger is not that out of this world.

    Sharlayan, the nation that had been alluded to as being cruel and merciless when it came to handling the way in which they hoarded knowledge had an aesthetic so modern and unserious that it disillusioned those of us who expected something more compelling to be done with the place. You can be technologically advanced and modern while still keeping a tone appropriate for the expansion - but instead we got The Last Stand, dormitories, and far too many classroom lectures for my liking.

    I would like to see the future locations of this game handled with better care than this one was.

    Now you literally have no defense or argument here.
    All you are saying is you dont like it. Could have just said that instead of all the extra nonsense.

    When you take a nation known for sending assassins after people in order to safeguard its grip on the knowledge it has hoarded into a college town with a burger joint, I find that to be disrespectful to the setting and something that severely damaged my experience going through the story.

    Where was the burger joint and What was it called? Tell me why it is there, and why its a problem it exists.
    You are literally flailing at this point, you feel disrespected over nothing.
    And I dont like to put you down, but the more you go on, the more unhinged you sound to the point of lunacy.
