Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[RyuDragnier]

When the boss is always in melee range and you also apparently need 2 melees for the Ultimate then why even bother playing a ranged anymore?

"We need 2 melees to be optimal like in every other piece of 8 man content in the game, so why do we even have ranged?"

2. People need to apply the rule, "If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all." Show some more respect to people or don't comment at all.

Feedback+suggestion+respect

is a formula for success... Even if you disagree.

Great combo. Just laughing it off. Guess the game doesn't have balancing issues. "Everythings fine and EW was the best game ever! Blahked!" - Vibes

It means your statement is so stupid that I can't help but laugh. You're complaining about things currently needing 2 melee when...everything does for optimizing. Also, with the devs deciding against ranged tax removal with the return of Dismantle on MCH, it's very likely they won't allow that level of uptime again for the final raid tier.

Ranged deserve to do less damage seeing they can stand wherever and have no positionals.

Melee deserve to do less damage since uptime has become a joke with constantly-inflating hitboxes and positionals are increasingly marginalized, so watching where you stand means less and less anyway.

I'm glad we agree that the hit boxes should be shrunk again.

I think everybody agrees on this. It's fine-ish being that big when it's the final boss of the tier, but not for EVERY boss.

Yeah, like, personally, I think it's excusable when the boss is massive and/or sitting at/off the edge of the arena like Endsinger, but is just absolutely mind-boggling on a boss like Rubicante lol.

Either make hitboxes proportionate to the mob in question, or remove the ranged tax on damage. One invalidates the other.

totally reasonable and generally agreed-upon takes, not hot takes though.

Since they just outright admitted they won't remove the ranged tax with Dismantle's return on MCH, they better be making the hitboxes proportionate.
