One is wanting the game to be the game. The other is wanting the game to be something completely different.

    This is the classic fandom invasion cycle. Game/Movie/Show exists. People come in and try to change it. When the original fans protest, they're told to leave. Original fans leave and go to/make a new Game/Movie/Show. People come in and try to change it.

    Just let FFXIV be FFXIV. Go watch Marvel if you want low-brow humor and happy vibes all day long.
    Nobody is being told to leave (at least not from where Ive looked), quite the opposite; you just told people ""Go watch Marvel if you want low-brow humor and happy vibes all day long."" So...whos the one telling people to leave?
    You're still naming the same thing. I see the differences, but they are both the same effect: Change the Game to how I want it.
    Thats my point. Not which one is better.

It's going to be a series where the creators cater to newer 'fans' (which aren't even real fans) while casting anyone who liked the older 'movies' (in this case, expansions) aside. How long until the writers for FFXIV start calling their real fans bigots ala Rian Johnson style for not getting on board with the new direction?
    -_-;
    This is some Next Level Boom-Saying.
    And just dismissing other Players

    Nobody is being shut down for having an Opinion.
    But your language here is pretty dismissive of those other peoples opinions.
