But FFXVI gave me everything I wanted that was ripped away from FFXIV.

I stand by everything I've said. If anything, I am more entrenched than ever in my opinions and delight in the fact that I have a recent mainline FF title that validates them all. And I maintain that FFXIV would have been better off not catering to the crowd that dragged it down to it's current state. They can do so much better, and I hope that someday in the distant future after DT has had it's predictable outcome that a return to form in XIV finally happens.

First things first they need to figure out how to make content and gameplay that doesn't turn people off after a few hours though. Until that happens there's no game here, only a visual novel akin to the FFXIV AU High School manga.
and despite all of your words... you still came back, paid them money for a subscription, proved to SE that they are right and you are wrong. thats right Aveyond, they are right. no matter what drivel they put out... you still paid to come back after making such a show about leaving.

make no mistake, you coming back validates the fact that no matter what you say, they are getting your money. go ahead, stand by everything you have said, thats fine. but your actions prove you are just peeing yourself in a dark suit. make yourself feel good, but no one else really notices, especially not SE
