You are playing a MMO where the director and producer visions it as a theme park.
This isnt an ordinary fantasy MMORPG, more like a mix of everything. And especially with a lot of nostalgia for older/other games.
Aslong they make it right and tie it properly into the main story, I wont mind. But if they decide to just crash a meteor out of nowhere and tell me Jenova is gonna destroy eorzea, then I would assume they are getting slowly out of ideas.
