Discussing your 'unpopular' opinions

Nah, that was Pharos "is too hard, and we're" Sirius.

I'd say the issue with Pharos is mostly that it dropped the same loot as the other dungeons, but was significantly harder that Amdapor Keep.

Dual Cast where you combine Blizzard IV and Fire IV together to make an even more powerful (potency) [...] attack

After all, Merazoma + Hyadain = Medoroa, right ?

Positionals.

I think they're awful in almost every conceivable way. It's the #1 reason I play a tank, because it's basically a melee DPS that doesn't need to do positionals.

1) The netcode is complete garbage and makes positionals even worse than they should be.
2) The devs even recognize that they suck and half the time they just make it a full circle (i.e. everything is considered a positional) due to boss design.
3) It'd help get rid of an otherwise useless button (True North).
4) It'd raise the skill floor, something that the devs seem to want to do, but consistently struggle with.
5) Stifles encounter design

I really wanted to reply to a bunch of people about their dislikes of "parsers, FFLogs, a few other notions", but I am unfortunately short on time. Consider yourselves lucky!

I agree 100%. Positionals are why I can't be bothered playing monk, if they didn't exist I'd play it in a heart beat.

They're actually the reason I play Monk. I enjoy having to slip between orbs in Byakko Ex farms just for that tiny potency bump. But I can see why many people don't, and wouldn't mind if the mechanic was replaced with something that would still equally interest me without annoying the majority of players either.

I feel this is a bit unpopular because I've never seen anyone complain about the Black Mage spell elements before.

Oh, I can help there! Thanks for reminding me.

I actually liked the 1.0 Thaumaturge concept (with Astral and Umbral spells) as well as Conjurer having all six elemental spells.

Which isn't to say I think 2.0 would be improved by either of those things, but I miss them just the same.

Another unpopular opinion

I think mid air combat and under water combat is fun

Lol, just wait for the hyper melee-style Active Time Event in the future Suzaku battle :P

I hope square never puts viera in the game and comes up with a more unique race

Also I hope the male bunny suit never sees the light of day or if it does it's a full easter bunny type costume.

I honestly don't know how anyone would consider this unpopular, but SE needs to do much more to reduce the skill cap on classes, and condense combos into one button per, have more skills "upgrade" rather than adding still more button bloat, and do much more of this by 5.0 at least.

FFXIV suffers from serious button bloat, and classes are much too difficult to master compared to its competition and its hurting the game.

My unpopular opinion is:

If this game had lightsabers and based on a galaxy far far away it would be perfect...
(Don’t you dare mention swtor... no don’t even go there...)

More seriously now.. the 2.5s gcd still bugs me a bit, used to it and I understand why they use it... but still ...

LMAOOOOO xDDD
