Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[Amon-ster]

My hot take: The WoL deserves voice acting. I know their excuse is that they want the player to be able to self-insert but the WoL probably has the least personal agency in the story. You don't get to make any choices -- when someone tells you to do something, your choice is either "Yes" or "Yes" but with a little bit of sass. Even the choices that say "No" have your character making a joke and the Scions going "Oh that WoL, what a prankster. Now get over there and sniff that chocobo" or something to that effect. I think that culminated the most at the end of the game where Zenos calls you out saying that you're someone who seeks higher challenges and who wants to challenge themselves more and more and your character really not being able to deny these accusations and agreeing to fight him. For quite a few people (myself included) I would have elected to just leave him there and not give him the fight he wanted so badly, because Zenos is a bad dude and he shouldn't get what he wants.

You can bring 4 melee DPS into P2S and it'll still invalidate the existence of PhysRange and the 1% bonus they're all good for.

When playing Endwalker it felt like a 6/10 for me.
After going back to watch the CS again, it became a 5/10.

meta is stupid and people saying certain jobs are useless overexaggerate it. The difference is so miniscule youd have to parse to notice. The best of the best isnt required for savage

Gifting someone Fantasia is like gifting someone deodorant. It's a polite way of saying they need help in that department and pushing it along.

I really don't like Emet Selch in Endwalker. It's like the Devs wanted to cash in his popularity from ShB but they turned him hokey. Can include Hythlodaeus in that as well.

They went full Kingdom Hearts with Emet and company. I suppose I can appreciate that to some degree being a KH fan and all.
