Anyway, another thing to keep in mind for criticism is to actually provide some sort of realistic solution, don't just complain for the sake of complaining. And no, just because some modder did it so the devs can do it isn't a realistic solution.
It's not mutually exclusive, you can be bothered by some aspect, while still enjoying other aspect of the game. If I want to play XIV, i don't want to get told to go play something else because this or that bothers me.
Your 2 paragraphs there kind of contradict each other though

Never found a use for Ether or any of the other early 'potions', though. Seems like the mechanics that required them just don't matter.
Ya that's my issue with it, they don't really serve much use.
The problem with potions is they don't even provide much healing, then it's further nerfed by a % value.

Ya, i have been a really emotional person myself, still am a bit in some context.
The only thing it gave me, is depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and put me dangerously close to thoughts of suicide, so i'm trying to kill off such reactions.
Anyway, I'm aspie myself, so i'm not trying to be judgmental about it, but i think FF community is comprised in big part of autistic ppl, as well as ADHD etc. I think such ppl like things that doesn't change, and FF has been around for 30+ years, and there's these static elements of Chocobos, Jobs, etc. It makes such ppl feel comfortable to pick the games up, knowing what to expect. As we know what happen with such ppl when things don't go according to expectations. This happen a lot for me as well, when my brother invite me over for something like watching a movie, and then we end up not doing that, it just bothers me.
Edit:apparently a large chunk of my post got cut out /shrug
