Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[IdowhatIwant]

The game brings back characters to often because they were popular for an expansion.

Modders care more about Viera, Hrothgar, Highlander and Roegadyn than the devs do, and probably ever will - it seems if your race is taller than 5'4 you simply don't matter.

There, I said it

The guitar was the worst thing to add to FFXIV.
Just because a crowd is somewhere doesn't mean we want an obnoxious bard playing.

I am glad to not be the only one lol, especially when they hit the same notes over and over again parked near the market board. I like guitars but only at a distance.

Being bad at the game's combat is a state that one has to choose to move past from, including ceasing to blame others for their mistakes.

Venat was right.

People are using the same glamour over and over. Quite frankly it doesn't look good.
In fact if you want to look unique and visually congruent, just wear artefact armors or new allagan stone-clothes, because nobody uses it (and its a shame).

Heres a hot take:
Dog girls/boys should have been added instead of hrothgar.
Ive always been a dog person so naturally i was disappointed to see a second catlike race

Hot take: Endwalker's story is fine.

It's not perfect. Even leaving aside debates over whether this or that character is really good or evil or whatever else, there's pacing problems (Garlemald, in particular, felt like it really needed another zone's worth of content to flesh it out and let the story breath). It kinda felt like two expansions' worth of story forced together because they didn't think that just ending the whole war with Garlemald was enough of a pull after years of dragging it out. And our brief stopover on the First felt like it didn't serve much purpose other than to remind us that those characters exist too.

But overall, I still thought it was pretty good.

I'm sizzling and spicy here.
