DT WoL Updates: Players want the diversity of features we once had

100 of 30 Millions aren‘t many.

As usual, all the happy people are elsewhere and not here. Seeing tons of happy people on Twitter posting their updates.

I love my update.

So happy for both of you. How about you go hang out there and stop wasting our time here with useless, dismissive platitudes?

I hope you got over the hours of sobbing you claimed when you saw your character the last time. If this resulted in hours of crying I’d suggest getting help.

I'd suggest you keep it to yourself. Spare me your concern trolling, you creep.

You got me. I actually laughed when I read you cried all through the night.

I'm really getting tired of being told to just accept it. No way in the seven hells am I accepting what they did to my beautiful creation.

I've noticed that most if not all of the posts are about female aura, yet I'm over here perfectly fine. People goin on about a lip being slightly different confuse me.

Because the Au Ra were not 2.0 races, so they were the first "new race" added to the game (male miqo'te and female roe do not count, as they were added with 2.0) and a lot of people were super excited to play them. Meanwhile we had the hundreds-of-pages-long threat about miqote butt's about the loss of the unique miqote shape that I think lasted for 8 years.

I mean, to be fair, the forums have leaned into the negative for as far back as I can remember. It's just not a place meant for genuine positivity imo outside of small doses. The same can be said in reverse for other platforms like Reddit or X where the community leans to the positive and doesn't really want to engage with the negative outside of small doses either. It's just two different communities and both have their issues.

Personally though, I'm starting to see why people in the actual game say they don't want much to do with this forum and would rather visit other social media platforms.

Where have you been. Twitter and Reddit are bastions of trolling and negativity, and then people from other trolling and loosely-moderated sites come here and behave the same and get their posts deleted or get banned from the forum entirely. You are on the Square-Enix property, behave or you will be shown the door very quickly.

When people are negative here, it's often because they have a passion for some aspect of the game that they either don't want changed, or disagree with the direction of said change. That does not mean the players should never talk about it.

Meanwhile outside of the company's control, there are sites players visit that are incredibly toxic and insular. If you want to be on a fair footing you have to post to the official forum. No third party site is going respect your opinion or passion for the game, because they're not moderated by people who have an interest in the game's long term viability. If Square Enix decided to shut down 14 because "the player base hate the game too much" these third party sites would have a brief celebration and then they would implode a month later as their reason to dunk on 14 disappears.

FFXIV is a story-based game which centers around your character. I think it is fine to feel upset over something which you've come to love change so much practically overnight. Yes, take a step back if you feel severely unwell, but nobody here has said anything which would warrant such a response. This is a genuine critique.

I am happy you are happy with your character, but that has nothing to do with wanting more customization options. I suspect you've been on the forums too much and should call it a day, enjoy the early-access period maybe?

She told me to leave a forum I’ve been on 8 years longer than her. I find her ridiculous. If you cry for an entire night over your mmo character looking different you have issues.
