Many of you have very respectfully given feedback on a few of the elements you’ve found needing adjustment, along with suggestion to improve them. That’s what the forums are for. Many, many, many others of you, multiple times, have openly voiced your disgust, contempt, outright hatred of said character for ruining your experience in Dawntrail.

And now, a few of you, for WHATEEEEEVER reason…have felt justified in doing the above. This particular brand of malice, like I said in another post. . .is disgusting. I’ve been playing 14 since 2.0 and I have not once seen the collective community go behind the scenes/character to do what’s transpired here, be it this forum, Reddit, wherever. Not the first time, but this…
I see this topic certainly a bit late, but I FULLY agree with the emphasis on the "Many, many, many of you". This place is incredibly full of arrogant, despicable, toxic and thus pathetic people (not everyone as many discuss in very nice ways).
Being anonymous brings the worst of the people, we know it. While FF14 is a secondary social circle to people, the forum adds another layer of "protection". Whenever I come on this forum to read about topics I'm interested to, I stay voiceless at how people talk to one another, we are far from the benevolent community we are reputed for.
People are straight up arrogant douches because their Irl is protected. Almost all would never quite behave this way Irl (actually, I've never met someone like some of the people I can read here), adding to that the cliché representation of (hard)core gamers, I'm sure that for some the contrast between their online behavior and (pathetic) irl self must be very...funny.
I'm mentioning Irl here because a portion of these already sad excuses of people think it's even fine to directly attack a Voice Actor they didn't like (or straight up hated) the performance of, with clear irl threats and consequences. It's disgusting how people can behave out of anonymity (and e-ego).

Whether your irl like is good or pathetic, there is NO justification for behaving this way, ever. I lack words to express how despicable these people are, but I hope this post will work as a wake up call for part of them (and bring the actor support as well).
