YoshyP saved FF 14 but also killing it.

Due to the lack of healing and mit abilities at that level, there are often a lot of deaths (especially among sprouts), so they come out feeling like it was a tough fight. But when so many fights in this game just get destroyed due to item level or lack of threat, what are they going to tell their friends?

I don't know about that. When I go into a fight, and die 5 times without even a clue what I did wrong, or how to do it better, I just loose interest.
So if I had any friends to which I talk about MMOs, I would tell them that the Trials and Raids in FF14 are an overdesigned mess with counter-intuitive and incomprehensible mechanics.
For the record: I like challenging games, I just recently dug out Doom Eternal, and played through on nightmare difficulty a couple of times. It's a hard game, but at least I understand what's about to happen - without memorizing 2 dozen different boss emotes that determine where the big AE will strike some 30 seconds later. A tough fight? I'd rather call them overly annoying, nothing else.

Your max lvl class is a lvl 71 Paladin. I'd suggest actually catching up on the content and trying extremes savages and ultimate fights before posting on the content of the game. Also 2012 and you're still not max lvl what have you been doing this whole time, I won't make assumptions based on your world.

Ya, they gotta play 3-5 months to get through MSQ to finally enjoy the game! You tell them!
It has nothing to do with why I can't get any of my friends to join FFXIV. Not at all. MSQ isn't /that/ long to grind through!

14’s fights are (if nothing else) visually easy to solve in the normal version. You don’t have to memorise anything because what the boss is doing aligns with how to solve the mechanic

This sounds a lot like the “the boss was casting left arm cleave for 10 seconds but the AOE marker only flashed for a split second, how should I know not to stand on the left side”

Actually Reddit is so negative now, even the main sub, that some of the white knights have just now sheltered in Discord.

Perhaps if people didn't shelter behind their alts when they get their ego bruised then maybe we could have real conversations about something other than 'white knighting'

If you dismiss it as that then that's up to you. I was really making a point down the middle of both sides.

You honestly didn't deserve that Jeeqbit. You are not a white knight lol

I think maybe FPS games have rot your brain

Forgive me if I’m tired of offering square 15 paragraph long essays on how to fix the healer role only for them to go “lol buff tank sustain it is”

These forums are cynical and do argumentative because we’ve been ignored for years. Go back and look at the SB or early ShB forums: it was way more cordial and “useful” because people still believed the devs read our feedback

Even Titanmen back then was not shitting on the game and was posting dumb threads like "can we get pregnant"

I've said it many times but it always gets backlash from the crayon eaters in the community, Yoshida needs to go.

He is good at setting up from ZERO, But becomes way less competent as the story continues. For Yoshi to be good again they need to REMOVE the scions from the equation.

They had multiple chances for that, once in shadowbringer, once in endwalker, once in dawntrail.

Yet each time forced them back, Endwalker death would've been a great conclusion and wouldn't be truly permanent due to Azims crystal existing.

Any issue you just force Y'shtola in to solve it

Any strong enemy? Thancred or Estinien

Any tactical issue? Alphinaud

Lonely? Gra'ha tia

BORING AAH writing, Their attempt to solve the scions was make them the same intelligence level as the average "Greatcommunitybtw" user, That way Lamat looks like 900 IQ Gigachad.
