Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[Ardeth]

Endwalker is the worst expansion this game has had so far. I didn't think it was possible, but you mad lads topped Stormblood.

Also before people call for my head I would still give the story of the expansion like a 6/10 even if the actual gameplay meat of it was a 2/10.

Bonus hot take the last zone has more padding than a 14 year old girls bra.

It shouldn't really be a hot take at all, but it's pretty simple:
If you're not enjoying the game, just stop playing it.

Just because you've built your life around playing a video game for the last 7,8, etc. years, and/or just because you used to like it, doesn't mean you still do and doesn't mean you have to keep subjecting yourself to it. It's okay to just walk away and find something else to do with your time that you will actually enjoy instead of continuing to mentally and financially handcuff yourself to something you clearly don't. I mean, take a step back and have a neutral third party look over your post history and see what they have to say.

hot take 9/10 times this is the opinion of people who can not take criticism so that nothing breaks apart in their perfect bubble world

yoshida is not as good as people make him out to be

I’m worried about your safety now. You can’t criticize ffxiv Jesus around here lmfao

Viera and Hrothgar are both too underdeveloped and shouldn't have been made at all considering the state they are in.

I sincerely hope that after femhroths come out they will stop adding new races for a while and instead overhaul character customization for everyone, because it frankly is pretty garbage all things considered.

WHM is the worst healer to pick up for someone new to healing.

Holy carp, this ain't even a hot take: it's fact.

Hunting culture is better and more accessible than it used to be because of the new tools we have and cross server hunting. I don't have to know a guy who knows a guy who can tell me about spawn windows, because the public website for it is trolled by people who report false kill times and want to keep the timers to themselves so that no one spawns anything when they are offline. Now I can just open a website with accurate info and hop to any server to try and spawn something. The exclusivity is gone and it's great.

tbf I've been expecting to wake up one night missing that piece of stone I apparently have instead of a heart for some considerable time.

another hot take


A lot of the criticism that this game gets is valid and with plenty of evidence in some cases.

Agreed. I’ve noticed quite a few people who have criticism preface their post with something like “I’m not saying I hate the game at all, I LOVE it, however…” Meanwhile I’ve gotten to the point where I’m just like I SAID WHAT I SAID lmao

Hermes, sure.
Fanny Dantom can get out of my face.

Oh definitely. I just see many conflating the two, when Fandaniel as he is now is a result of the sundering, and Hermes was a whole with more emotions beyond apathy and hypocritical nihilism. It sucks because it doesn't take more than a surface viewing to notice the differences and paint a picture of what happened.
