Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[spookiebruh]

Don't know if this is a hot take or not but i want to see more races, or atleast better customization on existing ones, not just Viera and Hrothgar.

1. This community isn't nearly as friendly as people try to preach it to be. It's snooty, passive aggressive, and mean girl.
2. People rely too much on others to carry them. Not related to casuals/hardcores, just people in general.
3. EW was a disappointing expansion.
4. There are too many try hard uwu-kawaii players who try way too hard to be cute in game.
5. I feel like the lack of information about the islands is a sign it's going to be side content quickly and easily forgotten.
6. What SE has done to Viera and Hrothgar is more offensive than impressive. Finish the races, add new customization to older races.
7. We don't need more classes or races.

8. We don't need a content formula any more. It's boring.

It's boring but it shuts down the content hogs who think more content should be directed to them at everyone else's expense.

Sounds like you may be the content hog.

That might make since if I were the one asking for the removal of the established system.

But since I'm not, I can only assume I poked a nerve and guessed EXACTLY why you want it removed.

We haven't gotten an Ultimate since 2019. They aren't even successfully delivering on the existing content formula.

So, anything that asks that we move away from the current formula...

...of '8-man raid patch -> 24-man raid patch & basically unused sidecontent -> 8-man raid patch -> 24-man patch and grindy rehashed sidecontent -> 8-man raid patch -> 24-man raid patch', etc, with a single dungeon strapped to each...

...could only possibly be for the benefit, and at the request, of raiders, despite their having the most content to thereby lose?

I've been playing MMOs for over 20 years. In that time I've gotten quite adept at spotting the double speak raiders use to try to get more epeen content at the expense of everyone else. I've also seen the same attempts they used in this very thread to try to turn it around and say it's the non-raiders trying to get everything. You can gather I don't particularly like raiders, if you want to know why just look at most MMOs who listened to them and in the end made only raiding rewards good, WoW is the most extreme example, but there are many others. So yeah, when I see them trying their old tricks in yet another MMO I will absolutely call a spade a spade.

I always like to see new jobs, but I think new races in a game where you're expected to only play one character is a complete waste of time. That goes double, now that we've seen how those new races get rolled out with only one gender at a time and problems with headwear.
