There was some advanced technology sure, because of an advance race wiped out... as did FFXIV at first. However it was a tame sprinkle of content. Which is fine. Now we seem to have more advanced tech being randomly found then the tech level of the surrounding world we're in. THAT is an issue. Also I don't remember the other FF games weebing out as hard as 14 has. Hence my comment on the glam and new reaper animations.

Think maybe all that head desking is creating memory loss if you think otherwise.
Most other FFs don't have you find as much ancient tech as XIV, while at the same time, most don't span the number of years in game than FFXIV does. It is only natural that as tech is found the tech level is going to change.
