Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[hagare]

It's okay to criticize the game.

criticizing your critique does not make one a white knight.
your critique might just be bad

Alphinaud would sort of be a Tom Holland Spiderman type, but with an "Iron Spider" style suit where his Sage nouliths are the four pointy bits and they shoot healing webs, maybe?

Now i need a live action of FFXIV where Tom Holland play both Alphinaud and Alisaie.

Isn't crafting kinda pointless? Shouldn't crafted gear be always better than anything you can buy?

Gor my crafters to lvl 80 and I crafted them gear which I was happy with. Then went to scrip store and my crafted gear being inferior. Let's just say I was disappointed.

Also why crafted lvl 80 gear is iL 415 or something but the same lvl gear bought 500?

Items (minions, mounts, outfits, emotes) purchased from the cash shop should come 'wrapped' so that they can be sold on the market board. Once used, they are unwrapped/bound to the character as normal.

In essence, this would give people a legal way to buy gil from SE while providing an option for people to buy cash-shop items via in-game methods.

I'm sure there would be quite the adjustment period for the markets, but honestly, after a certain point gil has very little purpose in this game. May as well shuffle some of the wealth around.

Some aspect of the rmt community is truly piss and crass and tasteless, when they are found out, using special discord to just gather, gaslight, organize fake reputation campaigns, pile on individuals for years on end for just "Daring" talk about what they truly do, mafia type mentality, they will try to make you pay dearly because you made other players notice their disgusting trollish behaviour in PF, then trying to excuse their behaviours in front of other people that find them very very weird and completely unhinged, getting screenshots out of me explaining their troll methods in past parties i had with them, but stating that i'm just making it up, when it is a situation that is brewing and exponentially becoming more ridiculous as they escalate it like childrens for the past 2 years now.

All of this beginning because i made the serious mistake to accept a discord invitation during Shadowbringers from Meralda Gwan dedicated savage and extreme clear server, for birds / gwibber farm / mounts, but then, after a while, i started to get why it was forbidden to loot certain mounts or weapons on certain bosses and get compensated with 500K to 1Mil gils "instead" of looting, it started to happen more and more often, actually, after a while u start to get what it is about, even if they don't tell you and try to say it was for a "friend", but in reality, i figured out it was piloted clears and runs for customers, slowly realizing what i put my foots into when this weird "not allowed to loot" thing repeated much more then a few times, because only one person in the group would change / roll / that is completely stranger and unfamiliar with the usual roster.And they won't tell you, because if they don't have to tell you it's going on, of course, the better you are not familiar with what they truely gain from it. Or else you would probably start to see it is complete exploitation over your naiveté / stupidity.

Since that day i dared speak out about it, their disgusting behaviour in pf became more and more ridiculous, they don't spend 1 week without bullying / stalking the pf to see where i can be, but also as a bonus, they usually troll the pf as a community to push for sales.

These same shitty individuals would want to put up a "honourable" nice pr face when what they truely are is very dark in their inside circles. Engaging in months to years on end stalking / harassing / make him "pay" on particular individuals, not realizing they actually act like pure self caricature of comic book villains on single individuals here and there, that are easy to isolate and pile on, without a single drop of objectivity and reflection on their own behaviour and what they actually do to others, and i am not alone in this.

I think the Lawless set is really uninspired and made of pieces we already had proxies for. (✿´ ꒳ ` )

Retainers selling items and such should have a higher limit than just 20. By now, ay least 40 would be nice.

I liked Thancred more as a rogue. I don't dislike GNB but on Thancred, it feels too tacked on for the sake of selling the job.

I also liked his HW-SB outfit more then his current one and don't really care for his new role as the group's dad. I miss the chivalrous, silver-tonged flirt who would every once-in-awhile get his comeuppance.

I liked Y'shtola's HW-SB outfit more too.

I'm impressed that he can still sneak around with that gunblade of his.
Also, adding to your hot take: Thancred should've kept his tan, goatee, and ponytail from HW-SB.

Somebody had to be a tank for Trusts, and Thancred got shoehorned into it. And they might as well have him advertise the brand-new job at the same time. Although to be fair, warrior would've been even more out of character for him, and paladin and dark knight have too much magic for a guy who can't use magic. At least with gunbreaker they could handwave it by having someone else enchant his shells.

The hilarious part to me is that, with seemingly no other gunblade users on the entire First, he'd stand out even more, which should make sneaking around even harder. I guess he's just that damn good.
