Can 7.0 focus on a storyline without the philosophizing

[Jojoya]

It's hard to write an interesting story that's not going to have some philosophical point involved, and there will always be those who go searching for it then pointing it out to everyone around them.

I can agree it would be nice if they would at least vary up the theme a bit more. The "oh you were right, I was bad, I will be better from now on" does get a bit tedious with repetition though it doesn't bother me that much as long as I'm enjoying the story overall.

Is this ragebait? LOL
That's not a valid feedback. You can't just demand a game developer what they should and should not go creative-wise. It's their story to tell.

That kind of storytelling you are describing has always been a signature of the Final Fantasy main titles. Character development doesn't always have to be drastic to be interesting or nuanced. But yea, you are entitled to your wrong opinion.

If you want other styles or stories, there are plenty of other options outside of XIV.

It is valid feedback.

I don't see any demand language being used by the OP. I do see request language being used.

No need to get on the OP's case over this.

I swear, a ton of you people sound like you did not even pay attention to the EW story lol, these forums never disappoint with the hot takes.

Or people did pay attention to the story and got something different out of it because their life experience is different from yours.

One thing I've always hated about literature discussion is the "experts" insist there is only one correct interpretation for a piece of work even when the author states things are left open for the reader to interpret as they wish.
