Let's talk about some design choices that break your immersion for fun

Ps2 level of low resolutions on environment and gear in 2025.

I can't have the deus attack gaius does in praetorium. I know double down is a version but let me fire blue aether at my enemies for aura points

SMN's pet standing around doing absolutely nothing while mobs slowly widdle you to death.

or how solar bahamut make sno sense. Could of given us a side quest to glmaour him. let me have a primal from a dlc, or even let me pay fo ra solar bahamut glamour option

[Basteala]

Any time Wuk Lamat is talking.

Gen-Z influencer outfits. Glamour items that look like they came out of SSX Tricky. Certain dungeon gear.

Really sets the tone when you're running around doing quests in medieval-themed towns and hamlets and some guy whizzes past in a leather jacket and harness on his high-powered electric bike.

Or going about your day doing the MSQ when an idiot ports in shouting "18+ SEXY ANGELS AND DEVILS NIGHTCLUB TWITCH DJ HOUSE MUSIC COME JOIN" with fifty symbols thrown in. That's always fun.

Mains a caster/healer WoL. But during MSQ when ranged magical assault is in need, game mostly defaults you into "I'm melee now".

Oh, and "Machinations" BGM, lol.

I mained WHM for a long time and was proud of it, but... it did always deflate the mood a little when there was the dramatic standoff between the WoL and a big bad prior to a battle and I just... pulled out my cane and stood like that, lol. It's kind of clear points of this game are written with a tank main in mind and it does pull you out of it.

And for me, it's the sin eater music. Takes me right out the moment and just reminds me how cheap they are re-using assets, lol.

This one is still so weird because I KNOW it's supposed to be "Summon Hydaelyn" but the devs instead decided to play on past FF titles having multiple variations of Bahamut in one game because of how spoiler-y having a Hydaelyn-egi would be for newer players.

Like, the one time they cast lore to the wind for new players is this instance and they didn't even try to explain why we're pulling a brand new light based dragon summon out of our backside when they even made a point to have a quest all about
why we can't summon anything past our fight with Garuda.

[Gwenkatsu]

When I faced Zenos for the *really really REALLY last* time, and my Red Mage decided it was a good idea to throw away her magical rapier and duke it out with this brutish oaf in a fist fight.

And male roegadyn tanks with a frog head, pink bra, thong, and high heels. Call me old fashioned, but somehow this does not fit in my idea of a fantasy game.

Edit: And all the Sci-Fi stuff in DT that does look nothing like FF14, more like they copy/pasted some stock graphics from the internet.
