/r/ffxivdiscussion: Japanese reception to Dawntrail MSQ [SPOILERS]

[CosmoBabylonia]

I'm sure their community loves being represented by a handful of cherry-picked comments. I don't doubt that DT's reception is mixed across the world, but come on.

If someone can correct me, please come forward because I didn't live in Japan for that long.

The chan culture in Japan never died or faded into the underground, and they are brutally honest about how they feel and will not sugar coat anything. I remember earthquake warnings were broadcasted on 2chan out of all places. Where as we have hugboxes like Reddit here. I think there is definitely SOME merit in portraying some opinions that is just extremely blunt, honest, and to the point.

As if there's any shortage of that here. I understand the desire for vindication, but threads like this are just as much about creating an echo chamber as the "hugboxes" you refer to, let's be real.
