What things annoy you?

Quicktime Events during trials. I mean, seriously? QTEs are the bane of gaming because they're such a silly gimmick trying to create 'interactivity' to a cutscene. Except they do not fit the middle of a trial battle at all: it literally becomes "Press O as fast as you can to not die". It's not about how good you play your class or Job, it just becomes a test at how fast you can hit a button. And it especially does not work in a MMO environment where one person slipping up wipes the entire party. For no other reason other than they couldn't mash a button fast enough.

I haaaate the boss QTEs. Nothing like doing Shinryu Ex and being fine until I suddenly have to button mash my brains out and I die because I have never been able to button mash quickly. I had to get my little sister to button mash me through the torture sequence in Metal Gear Solid II. Who thought these were a good idea?

In FFXIV, you can mash multiple buttons at once, so mine are usually broken in one second from just mashing all keys with all fingers. Hope that helps with your FFXIV trials

Half naked characters. I know that some boys have Washington Monument between the legs from seeing their character wearing full plate bikini but cmon...

Not dpsing healers and DPS players refusing to use AOE skills. I even had those two things in one dungeon. I bailed out, turned off the PC and went for a walk with my dog. There is always something good on a bad things...even when you have to help it a little.

I still can't mail things to alts.

Characters 'dying' only to come back not long afterwards.

Cutscenes in Praetorium depending on the language setting.

People using Japanese and French audio (Not sure about German) have their cutscene before Gaius and Ultima end significantly sooner (long enough for them to pull and have English audio users get the "area sealed off!" message), then they pull early as noted without waiting for the rest of the party.

I do not care to use a language I do not speak for audio. I want to participate fully in these fights, not be basically carried because the fight is half over because someone was impatient ... And if you ask them to please stop pulling early before others are out of CS they ignore you or give a snide "why should we?" ...

I'm baffled that the language thing actually works that way. I know speedrunners of single player games often choose the language that is fastest for time saves, but an MMO not having a check in place to see if every party member finished a cutscene is a weird design choice.

Yeah, this should probably be considered a bug ...

It’s not really a bug if the other languages don’t take as long to say the dialogue compared to English. Japanese spends less time saying what they want to say compared to English in some of the Praetorium scenes.
