Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[Aurikai]

My personal hot take at the moment: dont like the ShB resistance weapon as inhave to play dead content (delubrium reginae) to progress. Or stupid PotD with abyssmal drop chances even in higher floors

Yeah that's annoying, built an entire raid that's hardly used since it's not in DF. Current auto queue is useless since it starts with 2 people.

All jobs should start at level 1. Make the starting weapons work the same way as Menphina's Earring with attributes that scale with your level. No need to invent dozens of low level weapons. If you want a fast track to max level, there are jump potions.

You know, I don't think I've ever agreed with you in the past. Not on the jobs starting at level one thing - that's stupid. But cutting the fat off of low level weapons with something like 'looms from WoW or Menphina's earring? Genuinely a good take.

The thing about those earrings that level with you, is you can't glam them because technically their "item level" counts as 1. So unless they figure out a way to bypass that issue, be prepared to play 80+ levels not being able to change your weapon's basic appearance.

If instance housing ever comes to FFXIV, it should be in the 13th. If powerful voidsent can create their own domain based off of their warped and tattered memories, then whose to say we couldn't do the same thing? Albeit, with little help since we lack the aetherial energy to fully create our own little domain. Perfect place to have instance housing! :3

That would actually be pretty cool.

Ahhh, there's nothing like the hellish screams of starving voidsents to start the day !

Wake up, coffee, slaughter all who oppose you in this endless hellscape of despair, breakfast.

Endwalker had me playing my chosen job(s) less than both ARR, HW and SB respectively which feels like a troublesome direction. More jobs than ever but less gameplay with every expansion.

I disagree, I think the least thing this game needs is more streamlining.
Inconvenience is what makes video games fun in the first place, without inconveniences what's the point of even playing? Just make everything start at level 90.

Inconvenience can definitely go too far though. Especially in these times when several game devs purposefully make features as awful and boring as possible on purpose only to sell you shortcuts to the "good part".

As with many things there's a healthy middle part.
Inconvenience serves many useful purposes in making achievements and rewards feel earned, but stray too far and people will start questioning why an inconvenience that serves no other purpose but to be inconvenient even exists.

Alexander had the best raid music. Fight me.

Or better yet, RISE WITH ME!

U want some real hot takes?

Rise is trash, Locus is trash

The best track in Alexander is Mobeius.
