MSQ Difficulty and Exclusion

[SannaR]

Don't get too attached to this game, OP, because when you get too old for your ideal target demographic you'll need to uninstall. Don't hold back the generations behind you! Despite, you know, this game relying heavily on nostalgia by rehashing a franchise that began in what, 1987? With a successful spinoff TV series about a father bonding with his son over the game. And a director that's pushing 50. In fact, I'd be willing to bet gil that the majority of the people who actually make FFXIV don't fit your ideal target demographic.

So it might not be they're accommodating at all. It might just be they're making what they find fun as older players themselves. Time to hand out those pink slips!

While the mental image of Yoshida doing the "How do you do, fellow kids?" scene gave me a chuckle, why are there always younger fans of older series who are like this. smh.

If you really need some spice in your MSQ, maybe unequip some gear or even your job stone for that real FromSoftware experience? I still fondly remember running into Girtab as a sprout in the Shroud, wearing nothing but starter gear.

I mean one of the founders of Square and developer of the 1st game in the series is playing the game and enjoying it. Age alone would disqualify him if we went with the age demographic.

The Final Fantasy franchise is older than the demographic this OP wants Square to cater to exclusively, lmao.

I'm not against difficulty options in the MSQ, but there are ~other games~ for tryhard flexing, if Savage Ultimate Unreal Good King Moggle Mog isn't adequate.
