Why I'm mad at Final Fantasy 14 (rant)

[Lauront]

Heaven on High was also very lazy and underwhelming.

I can't say I'm mad at the game. Sure, I notice a lot of inconsistencies and things they could do better, but the game itself is pretty young. We'll soon be heading into our 3rd expansion and WoW is on its what..7th? So yeah, you really can't compare them in terms of "they get more bosses than we do" because it's a different game with different goals.

I can't even really find fault with the raids because prior to this game, I only ever played the original Final Fantasy, FF7 and a little bit of 8. So I'm experiencing things like Kefka for the first time. I do wish we had more variety in our quests and the ability to create characters that reflect our playstyle more than "THE META" but those are hard challenges for a dev team to overcome, and I have no idea how they would even attempt those things, let alone what the engine could handle.

I hate how raptors look like toy dinosaurs made by Tyco and colored by crayola. Do they have wings?

I am legit smiling reading this point...

[TheGrimace]

Kefka is actually really cool and even if I support many of your other complaints, his existence in the game is something you're going to have to live with.

[Krokov]

We don't need more gil sinks don't know why you think this.

[Magnedeus]

Sounds like bitching to me.

I'll repeat this one, because it bothers me a lot and you asked!

Every time I've manually glamoured my wedding ring--I've accidentally overrode it later with a glamour plate. So I've just given up in frustration. I like glamour plates, because I can change my outfit like 5+ times a day--which I enjoy. But it's not very viable for trying to keep something like a wedding ring on your finger. I'd gladly throw away the teleport to display the ring. Or maybe give us two rings. One for 'use' and one for 'show.'

Glad to see you knew all of my responses were in good fun, XD

and Yeah I get this one, I had something similar when making a glamour recently, it wasn't as bad but I get it. And I actually agree, I would love to have my rings appearance on 24/7 too, but sadly it cannot be, T.T

You can leave the ring slots blank on the plates, and they wont overwrite you glamour.

Last I checked we have Samurai. And please none of the whole, "they wield a Katana nonsense" Katana literally means sword, so yeah you and a bunch of other people got your Sword DPS.

You got me there! I was just so into my rant.

Ther responses were worth reading. I tagged my post as (rant), because I know Square-Enix probably won't change any of this stuff. I'm mad about it, but I'm not expecting any change. I just needed to vent. Just to answer two of your questions before I forget! When I said I hate that you can't look up. I mean that in first-person view, you literally cannot look straight up. You can do that in basically any other game that lets you use first-person view.

And the "I hate that I can't queue up in a solo instance while in a group" was in relation to the annoyance of having to drop a group to run it, and therefore being unable to talk to that person. I'm not expecting them to join me. Just not mechanically force the group to separate. It gives a same error with the chocobo companion out as well. It should just auto dismiss him--rather than making it convoluted.
