Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[Varilyon]

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).

YOU MONSTER, FRISBEE!

I heard the cake was delicious! hmhm

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.

[opinion that all of reddit/twitter/rest of social media agrees with but might make my forum nemesis fistclench at]

I'm sizzling and spicy here.

Papalymo, Ysayle, and Minfilia all tend to be forgotten about by folks complaining about a lack of character deaths. Conversely, their deaths tend to be bemoaned by people who believe they were carelessly thrown in the trash during Heavensward, or in Minfilia's case Heavensward and Shadowbringers.

Maybe it's the carelessness of their deaths that makes them not register for both folks, but in opposite ways? Dunno.

Not really forgotten. For all intents and purposes Minfilia died in ARR. We havent had a prominent character death since HW. Papalymo was HW patches so still HW.

They should replace lalafells with the Loporrits.

Story could use some more black and white and less grey.

Agreed. I like it less than Shadowbringers (5.0), but I'd say it's a reasonable second place.

Good. I don't want to see any more characters sacrificing themselves for the Warrior of Light.
