Current Problem Parallels

Surely this guy is a troll, there's no way

Guy?

See, right there, that's the issue.

Pre formed bias based on your own personal experiences.

"Everyone on the internet must be a guy"

"Fat shaming is a constant issue in America so it must be a thing in the rest of the world"


Ignorance and preconceived biases impressioned onto other people, other cultures, other ways of life.

Taking any tiny shred of anything, no matter how shady the source and believing it.

Remember, the rest of the world doesn't have nutty cults like QAnon and we certainly don't watch things like Infowars and believe everything printed in the New York post.

Edit: Heck doesn't your country have this whole thing where some of the country don't believe that Stalin was a Genocidal maniac? While you also have Neo Nazis walking around in broad daylight?

Practice what you preach first otherwise you're just throwing stones in the biggest glass house on planet Earth.

This guy sure seems reasonable and well adjusted.

And look at how many of those players left after seeing what little content 14 has to offer. Endwalker has seen one of the biggest declines in history post expansjon release lol.

FFXIV doesn't have "little" content. It just doesn't gate players behind a multiple month long grind to complete it.

That doesn't mean anything. What? Even if it was gated, there still would be little content. Please practice something called "coherence".

So, I correct you and you still choose to say guy

really clever. Truly.

I believe what he meant is that even with facts some people don't want to see it, and I agree with that. Emet Selch, in all his wisdom and power, prefers to act like a grumpy child when we present facts that we came from the future.

Except he has his gut reaction and then comes back a little while later saying that even if he doesn't believe us, the investigation is worth doing for the sake of their star. There is no logical reason to believe that the rest of the Convocation, even if skeptical at first as they most likely would be, would be opposed to looking into it more deeply just to be absolutely sure they weren't putting their world at risk by being stubborn. And there would have been plenty of information for them to review in Elpis, including witnessing Hermes' breakdown.

What makes you think I'm going to spare that sort of respect to a troll?

You are always arguing from both a meta perspective and an in-lore perspective. Choose one.

I never came here to discuss history. My first point here was about how forced things were. In addition to commenting on two characters that were not well finished.

Funny you guys talked so much about Urianger, I didn't mention him and you all soon assumed I was just talking about him. Perhaps because it was too much even for you? Sorry if I was more interested in going after the end of the world rather than following the drama of a character who died in ARR. They should have done this at the beginning of the expansion

I started to argue about lore after a dude coming up with this kind of argument. And then I thought it was funny to press one against the wall to see how far he could answer me. In the end, I ended up with no answers.

But finally someone coherent arrived to which I responded.

Uh….correct me if i’m wrong but you need to do savage for a month or two to get fully geared because it’s gated. Same with tomestones, and alli raids etc. Also…it has little to no midcore content which is what i’m getting at

The current issues with the dev team (IMHO) are basically a result of "Suffering from Success"

A Realm Reborn (2.0) happened because 1.0 was such an utter failure. They had to dig deep and figure out how to fix things.

Now, with all the success they have had, it has went to their heads and they've developed an Ego. They feel they can do no wrong, WE as the consumer base, are the ones who are wrong.

The game is in Cruise Control now because it's Square Enix's cash cow. Nothing really innovative. When they have tried, it's been mostly a disaster (the 4 attempts at Diadem Content, Eureka a disaster on launch). Job design is all over the place.
