Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[Recon1o6]

An actual hot take: Both of the original diadems had excellent concepts but the execution was flawed on the level of eureka only eureka had ff11 fanservice and relic to force people to endure it. If the execution was better then it would have been good side content

only eureka had ff11 fanservice t

Funnily enough, that wasn't done well either lol

Just because someone does not display their main character on the forums does not mean their opinion is less valid.

Hot take: dungeons were never complex or interesting.

PVP is actually fun and is one of the reasons why I'm still subbed to the game.

Now this is a hot take. I just started PvP'ing again and I do enjoy it, but trying to find 71 other people that also enjoy it and want to try makes me want to stop playing it again.

I really enjoy the PvP mode with the mecha units. I only ever heal in PvP though, trying it out as a melee was a nightmare LOL

I feel PvP is pretty fun too. Not the only reason I play the game, but I think it's fun.

Personally I missed the ability for PvP to be a tertiary way to get gear that was acceptable, they used to have stats.. Though I don't need stats IN pvp, I actually like that it is balanced for skill, generally, over super twink'ing.

Modern day FFXI is easier to power through than the state of Eureka when it launched. All you need to do is talk to a few people to unlock open-world trusts, and just like that 90% of the headache of that game is resolved. You are then free to level wherever you wish, with an abundance of options for making money and getting new gear easily with Records of Eminence.

I've regularly gone back and forth to FFXI and even prior to the addition of trusts I had played it for several years as a solo RDM -> SMN player, but I only dedicated a half-hour's worth of time to Eureka when it launched. I could not stand how atrocious it was, and this is coming from someone who somehow managed to single-handedly grind out Carbuncle's Ruby and made the worldwide treck to unlock SMN/level it/fight and defeat my summons prior to all of FFXI's many player-friendly updates.
