Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[SenorPatty]

People who ask what race they should fantasia in shouldn't fantasia in the first place, much less buy it.

Also this thread has really become a venting thread in general, as there hasn't been much unpopular opinions as of late. If anything, most people would agree on the recent complaints here.

Noir set is really ugly. All my characters look like they're wearing a fat person suit, and it looks super off as the rest of their bodies are still slim. Its wayyyyyyyyyyyy too oversized - why?? I feel like most people would prefer a tighter fit.

Also - did we need another fedora? This is nearly identical to the Lawless Enforcer's hat. Boring.

Conversely it looks amazing on Hrothgar, for once.

Okay... here's a hot take.
Those that go on and on about how others are upset at the infamous hamburger scene either don't care to understand why that scene irked people or are simply out to get a rise from people that actually want to enjoy the game. Also, "content creators" are the bottom of the barrel as far as fans go. Just cut the out the middle man and hire them for PR purposes, lol.

Criterion could have done with a eurekan/lost action system made with a mix of new and old removed actions.
A sort of best of style approach to picking your actions to supplement your job.

Rock up with raise, shadow flare, OG celestial opposition and cure on dancer and play like a actual healer. Or lost rampart, ultimatum, seraph strike, aero 3 and quake to tank as a whm.

Hot Take....I understood the complaint, but I still think it was nonsensical. Personal Opinion.
And it wouldn't be a big deal and wouldn't have spiraled so much, if it would stop being brought up, or referenced.

Overhealing should be reworked to give a small dps buff like filling them over full makes them "overcharged" or something - healers can keep healing, coordinate resource uses with co-healer and party mit so it's a team effort and has an impact to overall party dps. Makes piety an impactful stat to stack because now u aren't taking the minimum mana to heal the scripted damage ur stacking as much mana as possible to squeeze out every resource possible to keep everyone overhealed.

Greeting people at the start of dungeons is slightly important. You don't have to go all out or start a conversation or anything of the sorts. Just a simple "o/" or "hi" or whatever will do, but to me it shows signs to other players that you are willing to communicate if needed, assuming anything goes wrong.

I realize that I'm spoiled in being able to do this so easily due to being an omni and maining heals, but when something goes wrong(such as a tank pulling multiple w2ws without mitigation), I'm more likely to just leave if no one's said anything.

You understand it but it's "nonsensical"? Now THAT'S a hot take, lol.

Im SCORCHING BBY :P
But yes, I understand that people dont like it, but I think the reason is kind of silly.
Especially when you remember and realize what kind of area we are in, and the fact that whole scene happens BEFORE the Final Days themselves actually happen.
So some points like: the Scene ruins the mood...its like...what mood? You just got done with a fight, and you are enjoying a meal together. The Doom and Gloom of the Final Days hasnt happened yet.
Or how the food doesnt make sense....when we are in an area that is leagues ahead of most of Eorzea in tech and knowledge. But somehow it doesnt make sense that they could have such foods.

So yes...I get its not liked. But I think the reasons are kinda Nonsensical imo
