FFXIV Dawntrail reviews are out on Metacritic

[Boblawblah]

Are you saying that people who don't like DT are transphobes or something? Lmfao, what a puny intellect if so. It's the same thing Disney says about people who hate, rightly so, on the butchering of the new Star Wars being "misogynist" lmfaoooooo. Nah dawg, we don't give a damn about that, we care about the trash heap of a story this is. They are capable of doing better. If we thought they were incapable, we wouldn't be criticizing. We just wouldn't play xD. Screw off with this nonsense. There are plenty of Grass Touchers that despise this story too.

shhh, it's okay, the woke cat boi can't hurt you.

It's also interesting that quite a few Steam "thumbs up" reviews are not really positive in the descriptions. I wonder what the numbers would look like if given a 1-10 or positive/neutral/negative option.

I hope that this is a reminder that XIV isn't untouchable. We need them to bring their A-team writers and actors, and hire more if their team is spread too thin.

No problem at all. This data needs to be made widely known as it's one of the several ways the players can voice their discontent.

It's common practice for companies to pay millions to journalists and PR companies that run bot accounts for good reviews, or to delete, censor or shadowban bad reviews. Its not illegal or anything.

No question a giant like square enix does the same. Its just a part of the marketing budget.

Oh, absolutely. Which makes the fact that they've been doing all this damage control, and are still getting dunked on, even more delicious.

Oooh, so my favorite expansion Stormblood really isn't as bad as the whiners say.
