Live letters have lost their magic - Zepla

[caffe_macchiato]

It's about time that we started calling the constantly negative content creator or influencers what they really are, attention seekers. I suppose it does pay the bills but the cycle of negativity is super annoying. Are there areas where Square Enix could improve the game and/or communication around it? Sure, but there's also proper feedback channels to communicate through that don't involve farming ad revenue and are arguably a more respectful way to do it.

I do wish Live Letters were a little more professional, so to speak, and used proper screenshots or in-game previews rather pointing a camera at A4 pieces of paper. English translation would be great also but the pacing would fall off of a cliff if they didn't otherwise overhaul the format.

Finally, and this really is the most important part, stop playing FFXIV if you dislike it so much? Square Enix are just a business like any other in this industry and you don't owe them anything. You can take a break, play another game or, find another hobby.

Fully agreed. We in the FFXIV Movement (yes, this is a movement) believe that FFXIV is the best MMO and one of the best games of all time with over 30 million players. If you have a negative opinion about the game, you better not share that or upload a video. Because if you do, that’s attention seeking. You ARE allowed to share positive opinions (thanks Asmon!) but you may NOT criticize our game. Everyone else likes it and if you don’t, just go play other games. This is FFXIV, the game for playing other games.

It's not but take a look at Xenosys or Arthar's when they criticize among others. They still enjoy the game, still play the game, are open to new things in the game and will be constructive. Zepla just whines, in her dawntrail playthrough you could tell she wasnt even willing to give the story a chance, she'd made up her mind and WAY overplayed her dislike of every single scene. It was pathetic acting.

Agreed. If your approval for this game is below a certain value, you may NOT comment on it, even if you do or have played the game. If you don’t have at least a 70% approval for FFXIV, YOU MAY NOT COMMENT ON IT! THIS IS NOT THE GAME FOR YOU! Make sure that your opinion is within acceptable parameters or you are not FFXIV-y enough for our movement.
