Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[juicybug]

the hairstyles are uninspired
theyre all sort of similar. they all feel safe and vanilla.
i hope for another hair contest but i feel the winners will just be another safe and hime bang type hairstyle that gets thrown into the already 20 hime bang or spiky hero bang hairstyles that we already have

On the topic of hair, I wish shared hairstyles weren't a thing at all in this game. I'd happily take a much smaller selection of hairstyles specifically designed for each race/gender vs. the plethora of styles we have now. Having a lot of options may look good on paper, but what we've ended up with are a lot of hairstyles that look very similar, are ugly, and poorly fitted to each of the races.

I think the take most people have is that he wasn't riddled with moe anime tropes like G'raha was. He was a dork, but he was toned down. For justified reasons, if anything to keep the plot's tone.

He just evolved from "Serious FFX G'raha" to "Fun-Loving FFX-2 G'raha." Just without the twin handguns and booty shorts.

More's the pity.

And here's MY hot take.

I want that glam.

On Male Hrothgar.

In all seriousness, male Hrothgar pull off "skimpy" glamours very well for some reason. Maybe it's the fur and muscle?

I don't know if this is a hot take or not because I've never seen anybody complain about it...

Savage raid loot system is awful, because it penalizes Party Finder casual raiders way too much, since you can only try to loot for your first clear for the week, and with a bunch of strangers, there's no loot distribution going around, so you can potentailly have a bad luck string of week after week only relying on pity books.

Idk how to mend this without impacting static groups though.

[Carin-Eri]

The "Little Sun" cutscene is very much overrated - it's not particuarly funny, not particuarly clever and served little purpose beyond giving the actually rather bland Y'Waifu another 'look how sassy she is' moment.

Feeling sorta spicy today:

1. Savage raiders that want to cripple RDM Raise are the same people that would have wanted Astro Cards to change. All needs to be the same for the sake of measly % and muh Drifting. It's why we can't have nice things in our Battle System.

Verraise has been fine for multiple expansions. Idc about Savage Raiding, I do care for Casual Content like Alliance Raids, Daily Roulettes and Exploration Content. Limit it in Savage Raids for all I care.

2. Summoner can have Multiraise as well. Summoner was the only one with Multiraise in TA1/TA2.

3. FF Tactics based sidecontent like Bozja makes for a more compelling story than MSQ. Lyon is more interesting than any of the Scions will ever be.

4. I don't get the deal with Estinien. He's unlikable und ugly.

5. Armor designers have been nailing it this expansion, I have to admit.

6. The fact we didn't get a variety of veils wearable by all classes this expansion is criminal, especially when so many NPCs are wearing them during cutscenes. Release the face veils!

7. Since they took TP and Threat away, it's okay for Ninja to be a selfish DPS instead of flat Buffslave with Support Tax. Take Mug away please and buff it to SAM levels. Ty.

8. SB is still the best expansion. Best music, best city, best glam, best gameplay, best story (very last time it was grounded and political, really).

9. HW was bad and there was nothing to do back then.
