As I want the same for all other MMOs, but tbf, argung semantics is not helping and ever will help.
You know, back in the day people blindly praised other companies thinking they can do no wrong. It never turns out as a net positive for the IP in question. There is something to be said about being critically objective. There were issues with the EW story but if we are cleaning house then there are bigger underlying issues than the story. There is the fact everything is instanced. There is the fact that the 2 minute burst window will only hamstring how you can design classes. There is the fact that every class is losing it's uniqueness in favor of "balance". There is the fact that housing is hosed. There is- We can keep doing this but i'm a lazy person and if XIV goes the way of other MMOs then oh well. There will be more games in the future and if you don't have a backlog of good games to play then you need to start lookin'!
