Fan Service vs Originality

[bobbygunz]

Originality will always be better than fanservice. Im assuming SE will be reasonable and only include fan service elements where it remains in context with the game world, but at the same time, it kind of seems like they're just using it as a crutch so they can get away with making a crappy game again.

I think it will be fine mainly because the elements for those additions are already in the game... gambling and card games and games in general already exist in eorzea as you can see from Uldah's story line. Plus the platinum mirage is pretty much a rich man's golden saucer. Magitek is visible with the garleans. I think it's becoming less of a crutch then when they first thought it up and becoming more of an immersible experience. They are adding in the details that make a world unique.
