The FFXIV White Knights, citizen. They hurt everyone who plays this game.




We protect what is ours.

I think that it really depends in what area exactly. It does have

• GMs that evidently do act on reports because people get suspended for being rude in dungeons.
• 2 live letters per major patch where we just watch Yoshi-P talk for hours in a casual manner and reveal everything they are doing and thinking.
• Transparency, I think they are not unwilling to be transparent when we really want it, such as how they started explaining why jobs get changed on the job pages each patch.
• Regular and consistent patches that are more common than every 4 months if you include minor patches that include some of the content.

I don't think it really has

• Responsiveness.

Responses are very slow unless it's a major, urgent bug like the squadron limit break was and they don't really communicate on the forums hardly or acknowledge certain things going on in the NA or EU regions. Not including the support desk in that though, which I think is quite fast depending on how busy they are.

Fair assessment sir.

That guy's just very strange, he accuses me of being a shill and claiming the game has 0 flaws when I very clearly and openly will criticize the devs and game. I just give credit where it's due and give positive feedback when I live something instead of yelling on the forums about how "It's so over" whenever something is in the game I don't like.
Fact is SE and CBU3 have a pristine record post Stormblood (with the sole exception of covid which everyone had issues with) at delivering on time and communicating any delays openly and clearly. In a gaming culture where companies do big promises and then never follow up, that's something to be praised, regardless of your opinions on their other aspects.
You know that you are getting a patch every 3 (now 4) months and you know there will be a live letter a couple weeks ahead of time explaining exactly what is in there, that there will be a piece of content for each type of players (casual, story focused, social, hardcore), and if you don't like what's in the preview, you can unsub and then come back whenever a live letter has things you want in it, and there will be 0 punishment for doing this since catch up gear will be widely available to get you back up to where you need to be.

By all means call SE out when they fail but call them out and give them praise where it's due.

They can’t touch grass because all the salt in their system fries the roots.

I originally read this as "salt on fries". I had some with lunch. Yum yum~

Ongoing is fair...but XIV's community support is us yelling into a void and hoping maybe the issue might be solved when the next xpac drops lol


I didn't vote for Clive's VA but I wouldn't be mad if he won his VA category, he was the highlight of XVI. Honestly don't think XVI deserves to win ost or narrative.

I actually enjoyed FFXVI's OST a lot more than I expected. Many of the dungeon themes were catchy to hum along which is my personal way to gauge the quality of a video game soundtrack if its both a pleasant and recognizable tune to whistle/hum to. This is really the only category that FFXVI should win, because rpg and story wise hooooo boy yeah no.

I'm the opposite- I like XIV's music so much that I really expected to like XVI's way more. The fight/boss themes are genuinely great (Bahamut and Pheonix's are my favs), but outside them the only track that made me stop and really listen was Sanbreque's overworld theme.

Could you imagine spending your days focusing on every negative aspect of this game yet still subbing? That is the type of poster you have to deal with here. I just slap them around and troll the hell out of them. I suggest you do the same. Good to see more people standing up to this garbage. We will take this forum back.
