Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[NekoMataMata]

WARs are justified in getting annoyed at healers for healing them.

Assuming you're dealing with a competent WAR or a competent set of DPS(or both).

I've seen WARs that forget that their BW cd is 25 seconds and don't pop it consistently. I've seen WARs that don't pop mitigation post BW(also includes thrill->equi). And then I've seen teams where they don't clear the trash fast enough and the WAR pops BW 3x leaving me to pick up the slack in between the 2nd/3rd pops(again assuming WAR has any competency, they can cover the first downtime on their own).

Granted oGCDs are usually enough and I can just keep dpsing. WAR is pretty braindead but it's not so ungodly braindead that you can just do whatever.

Alisaie's gonna grow up flat like her mom and I feel sorry for her because unless she and Alphinaud finally change their hairstyles by then, she'll keep being mistaken for her brother. xD

constant damage that requires healing over a large period of time, such as p8sp2 NA dots, aren't fun to heal

i'm honestly more a fan when they make your hp 1 and do a huge raid wide

they could also bring the heal check from Shinryu back

Au'ra original concept design was way better then what we got

Hot take: People who hate the "modern glams" are completely out of touch with how the world of FFXIV actually is.

Or just the franchise in itself. FF always did that, they aren’t your typical full on fairy world. They love mixing everything up.
Regardless, the new costume is an eyesore.

I don't know what's going on with the dev team, but they need to make all new headgear wearable by Viera and Hrothgar.

Every headgear throughout Endwalker should be wearable for both races. They had a valid excuse last expansion with how there's too much old gear to make it all work on Viera and Hrothgar, since they have to do it manually one at a time.

This expansion though, no excuses. I don't care what your currently working on or whatever, I'm getting sick and tired of seeing a cool piece of head gear, only to find out for some reason my Viera can't equip the dang thing.

You devs have time to make this all work on the other races, spend a couple extra minutes to make sure that headgear works on Viera and Hrothgar, too. And if you need another patch or something for the new headgear to work on Viera and Hrothgar, then do it. Release the stuff working for everybody else, but release a patch later that lets us Viera and Hrothgar wear the stuff. Because at this point, its becoming both increasingly irritating and difficult to even ignore this issue.

People who ask what race they should fantasia in shouldn't fantasia in the first place, much less buy it.

Also this thread has really become a venting thread in general, as there hasn't been much unpopular opinions as of late. If anything, most people would agree on the recent complaints here.

Okay... here's a hot take.
Those that go on and on about how others are upset at the infamous hamburger scene either don't care to understand why that scene irked people or are simply out to get a rise from people that actually want to enjoy the game. Also, "content creators" are the bottom of the barrel as far as fans go. Just cut the out the middle man and hire them for PR purposes, lol.
