7.0 News from Reddit.

Many people do share my opinion, as I have stated before. How many times do some of you have to be told that no matter how much you try to focus on semantics I refuse to change the way I speak to suit your whims?

A lot of people aren't interested in having Krile or the Scions come with us in 7.0. It doesn't matter how I say it, it doesn't make it any less true. If the game intends to apply selective pressure to effectively push away those of us who favor more dramatic high fantasy stories in favor of goofy slice of life adventures with the Scions, then I only hope that intention is made clear as soon as possible so as to not string along those of us who yearn for a return to form.

FFXIV, given its intention to stand alongside other single player titles should reflect on what made the casts of other such titles successful, and why those titles didn't have the same sort of complaints that people have for the Scions. Rather than listening to people who simply "yes I like this" to everything they put out, it is important to try to understand why some people dislike the Scions and the problems that we've elaborated at length about when it comes to their presentation in the MSQ.

Such critiques are often censured on the main Reddit or are met with fierce and unpoliced responses on sites like Twitter, making both sites unsuitable for alternate viewpoints to be heard. Try as some might, they have no power to silence me. I want, and have always wanted, for FFXIV to be the best it can be. The trajectory of the game in the past 8 months has me, as a long term fan, concerned for its future and I will continue to speak out on it in my own terms.
