FFXIV deserves better

You really are a Tsundare for this game. You've never once said anything positive about this game and then you say that. I guess FFXIV is just a Baka huh?

Seems like your typical video game commercial ad to me. Aveyond, your mind must be the most saddest and dullest thing ever if this harmless ad somehow offended you. Its like you feel so insecure to play FFXIV or something. Like who cares?

After his post hit up on that one Youtubers video I sure he is just fishing for more attention. Apparently any attention is good for him.

I figured out quickly from one of the older posts that they're made out of a need for the attention. There would be no other reason to keep making them.

and they always do numbers. Folks eat this shit up.

I'd much rather they target the gamer bros who like fantasy etc. as opposed to normies who migrate over here from the likes of Nintendogs and Animal Crossing, yes. It's a shame that those are the types that have ended up being catered to in the end as opposed to back in the day when it was the total opposite. Negotiating with Varis, the reformation of Ishgard, etc.

Safer to have a handful of Wols sit around the campfire and brag about how special they are and how they won so much. And then people are surprised when it turns out FFXIV players don't feel at home in other games that don't enable the sort of hero worship/ego praise that this game went full throttle with lately.

Well thank Vanet that you do not decide who can or cannot play the game. None of us can actually, and thats a good thing! Gatekeeping is an ugly thing and should never be supported or propped up in gaming, or any fandom circle. So what if an Animal Crossing fan wants to play FFXIV? (News flash, they are already here aveyond. I AM ONE OF THEM.) People can have more then one genre interest, you know. Diversity is always a good thing.

As for the ad itself, its harmless. Bit cringy sure, but gets the point of this being an ‘epic’ adventure across well enough (I love the costumes… man I wish I was a cosplayer haha) I actually like how it dose advertise the crafting side of the game too (In the ads bellow what the OP posted.) Few games are as proud of it to show it off in an ad, so thats cool.

[Skivvy]

Eugh. This is pure cringe like that GW2 ad where real life people turn into GW2 characters, lol.

Gonna have to agree. It's pretty cheesy. :X

[SassyAssassin]

I would say your ad is spot on.

No its not. Poopyhead is too cute of a nickname for that……being.
