What things annoy you?

It's an outdated usage, but "star" can mean any large celestial body. The use of it in this game isn't technically incorrect, just imprecise.

You're definetely correct, but it's also a quirk of localizing Japanese into English where translating a word from Japanese has no direct English equivelant (bare in mind I dropped out of my Japanese language course so my knowledge on this subject is very, very rudimentary so if anyone is more knowledgable on this subject and can add or clarify things please by all means do so!), but from what I understand the Japanese use the same word to mean both a planet and a star in the celestial context, as they're both shining objects in the night sky.

In Modern English we have a very specific seperation of meanings between the two (the word 'planet' of course coming from a Latin word that means 'wanderer', based on the astronomical observation that the planets were not in 'fixed' positions and did move across the night sky), but Japanese does not have that distinction. So it's common to simply use the word 'star' to refer to the world itself (this also pops up in a lot of dubbed anime as well for the same reason). Yes it's a bit odd, but it also does enhance the antiquated, even alien, feel, of Eorzea as a setting. It's a part of worldbuilding.

It's an outdated usage, but "star" can mean any large celestial body. The use of it in this game isn't technically incorrect, just imprecise.

Technically correct insofar as it goes, but it still doesn't work in this case, and here's why:

Remember, they aren't using it to describe other worlds in the sky, they're using it of their own world. Now either the people of this world are scientifically advanced enough to know what the stars in their sky really are, or else they aren't.

1: If they aren't, they wouldn't call their world a star because it would never occur to them that their entire world would look like a star from far enough away.

2: If they are, they wouldn't call their world a star because they know better and wouldn't want to sound like morons.

So, the use of 'star' in this context is indeed flatly WRONG, born of a lazy localization team just using the easy direct 'google translate' level translations without paying any attention to context. It's like those Japanese product English language instruction manuals from the sixties: "Warning! To take and put the earth wire not having a smart holding, a fatal eventuality may incur!" Um... What?

1. Tanks who don't use their defensive CDs. Ever. Even on bosses. In SHB dungeons.

2. DPS who can't do a simple rotation (BLMs) and make the run take over 30 minutes because they can't play their job (BLMs).

3. People of all roles who become salty children when you give them simple advice so they can stop being garbage.

More of a tongue in cheek sort of annoyance, but seriously, we've got all these different outfits and colors and it never fails that I get a party dressed in all black or gray. Really?? All this work the devs put into designing these outfits and styles and everyone wants to dress like a goth or go naked. Okay then.

Getting Castrum Meridianum 99% of the time in my main scenario roulette which gives 2.5 times less exp. when your leveling other jobs. They need to fix this and make it equal.

Insta-pulls in 24-man content, before people even have the chance to set up or get to the arena. I get it, the content is easy, but it gives me an anxiety spike every time the tank sprints ahead to pull before even 3/4ths of the raid is in the room. It's almost always going to result in wipes and I wish people would at least stop for five seconds to let people get ready.

That's not just with tanks, healers and dps do it too. because they're that impatient. I was in a Rabanastre 24 man, And one of the the healers in my group kept pulling the bosses in order to beat the reset timer (which obviously wasn't gonna happen.

I really dislike how SE uses custom colors on gear that can't be dyed. And then on top of that, the colors don't work with any of the colors we do have access to. D:
