Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[NekoMataMata]

Not even going to get into the insane levels of pandering w/ certain characters returning

This bothered me a lot. I do enjoy certain characters but that doesn't mean I want to see them pushed into the story as much as possible, even if they might not belong. I want them done justice and if their time is up, then their time is up for the most part.

In this case, I'd like to bring up Emet. He has a really, really nice voice, but it felt wrong to have him narrating EW. I'll give Elpis a pass, although I'm sure many will find it debatable. And finally, I don't believe him or Hythlodaeus should've been a part of the finale of EW.

I absolutely adore the character, but it comes to a point where the fanservice feels a bit wrong.

Hot take (I think. I feel like taking a shot at this.):

Nobody ever asked for some 70s soft rock in the final stage of an MMO, let alone a JRPG.

Alexander had the best raid music. Fight me.

Or better yet, RISE WITH ME!

All jobs should start at level 1. Make the starting weapons work the same way as Menphina's Earring with attributes that scale with your level. No need to invent dozens of low level weapons. If you want a fast track to max level, there are jump potions.

You know, I don't think I've ever agreed with you in the past. Not on the jobs starting at level one thing - that's stupid. But cutting the fat off of low level weapons with something like 'looms from WoW or Menphina's earring? Genuinely a good take.

Random homeless person saves the world will be an accurate description of the story until the housing system is fixed

The WoL is still a ward of House Fortemps, so technically we're not homeless. We just can't really interact with the manor in any meaningful way.

I like how we're their ward and still have to sleep in the most disgusting inn of the game if we want to sleep in Ishgard.

That thus far Endwalker just in general seems like a step down from previous expansions.

My personal hot take at the moment: dont like the ShB resistance weapon as inhave to play dead content (delubrium reginae) to progress. Or stupid PotD with abyssmal drop chances even in higher floors

Yeah that grind sucked balls, but I like the glam of my shiny flame-covered chakrams
