Actually I think it does lol.

Community has a long history of saying something sucks until miraculously someone sees it do good. Then it becomes the new flavor of the month until a new flavor of the month shows up. After that happens, old flavor of the month returns to sucking. FF fans have been this way since XI.

Remember? Zomg War sucks no one wants you.
*along comes War/Nin*
Zomg! War/NIN > all!!!11!11 LF War/Nin!

Then what happened? No one wanted War/Nin anymore...went back to being teh sucks.

Ninja tank? was Loooool way back when. Then all of a sudden someone does it right, "zomg LF Nin/War!!111!!11"

We could probably do this all day, tracing all the phases of "lol you suck" and then "lol you win" within the span of weeks, months, and years. Even in this game, trend has been no different. Whats even more hilarious is that the community insists it knows what its talking about, despite all the contradictions of "you suck" and "you're awesome" simply because of trends.

Mark when I say it, in a few months PLD will be the flavor of the month and everyone will say WAR is a worse tank than PLD, does less dmg than a DD, so its worthless. The only thing that will have changed is that ppl all of a sudden figured out how to make PLD effective. Watch it happen, and remember you heard it here first.

Ppl also thought melees sucked at Moogle. Then came all melee runs. What? Melees can bum rush through moogle? Impossible! Yup it happened. Community really has no f'in clue what its talking about at any given time. Proof is in all the videos that can dispute every stupid claim the community has ever made. Lol reading the forums alone gives you a good idea.
