The Image of FFXIV

[DrWho2010]

You have to understand that I speak from the perspective of someone who wants FFXIV to succeed and be the best version of itself possible. If I see things that give me pause, such as these videos, I will call attention to it. I think that SE can and should do better.

and of course you are the one and true arbiter of what is deemed "best". even more so than the devs it seems with your inflated ego.

I saw as much when i educated him as to where the actual gaming demographics are internationally. I was actually surprised at how little he actually knows. ANYONE even on periphery of modern gaming is well aware that games arent for teenies anymore, and havent been for a VERY long time.

So you now admit you dont know what "everyone"' wants.

and be the best version of itself possible. If I see things that give me pause, such as these videos, I will call attention to it. I think that SE can and should do better.

..aaand your solution is....?

The image that FFXIV portrays does matter. I think it would be a good thing for FFXIV to try to make itself look more serious in wake of things like these videos and that billboard situation. I would like to think that the focus on the Void and Lahabrea in 6.2 will help with that, but a lot of recent events both in and out of the game have shaken my confidence and that of others. If you would like to discuss one of many different topics or issues, then nothing is stopping you from creating a thread to discuss those.

Believe me, the image of FFXIV is the LAST of this game's worries. Theres other problems to deal with rather than wasting our time with this.

It's always fascinating when someone comes into a thread specifically intending to harass, insult and stalk a particular individual only to get a bit of light pushback and declare that they, themselves, are the one being 'harassed'.

This coming after they swear up and down that they don't care about expend multiple posts within a relatively short period of time certainly allows people to come to some interesting conclusions, I think.

you know, you could just have compiled all of that into one reply post

Didn't feel like it. Don't feel like it now.

Again you keep focusing on attacking me personally rather than debate or discuss the actual topic that was presented in this thread.

Would you like to point out where this occurred? All I have done is ask why you bothered posting if you think the thread is so unworthy of people caring. An opinion you made known here:

This is such a non-issue that begs to be explained why even bother making a thread about it. Like honestly, who cares?

You haven't been personally attacked. I have not attacked you. If I have done ANY attacking (I haven't) it was to your actions and words. All I've done is expose that you're only here to disrupt the discussion going on in this thread.

If you would like a different discussion to take place, as I said in my last post, you are more than free to go make your own thread about whatever you like. If you want a thread that praises the new videos as amazing, you may make that thread. Now if people show up and disagree, disagreement is the cost of making a thread and thus opening a discussion. But don't come into this thread and insult both the topic and the thread creator, then pretend like you're being attacked once what you're doing has been revealed.

It's because they DO care, just not in the same way we do. We want discussion and open discourse. They want to shut it down because it goes against their narrative that everything's fine. Of course, once they're exposed for doing this, they sense an attack upon their narrative, and seeing as they've made their narrative so integral to their being, they perceive it as an attack on themselves.

We agree with the lackluster story writers guild. It is clear that the TV add maker is also the man who write the wrong translate story into the Japanese from the German. The Yoshi should make the Maehiro writing the grit TV add like the Game of the Thrones or the Heavensward. I do not understand why Lopprit chara Mayra in vid is surviving to the end but the No Shadow God is kill by the Venar genocide. Is because of bias towards the hero chara and theme focus on the slice of the life anime. If Maehiro writing the vid then Mayra would dye at the 1:00 mark instead of eating the burger with they friends.

It is clear now that the lackluster guild must rewrite the TV add and resubmit to correct the story course. We nominate the Madge King of All Amigos to be in charge of new add story because the Garlemald story rewrite is working to the Ayybeyond and I will rewriting the Hildabrand story to fix relic.

Please believe we will make all right with story again.

irrespective of anything and everything, I super respect whoever trained an AI and released it onto the forums like this.

I'm still keen to see if, one day, it'll manifest the "I" part of that acronym, as so far it's only been the "A", but I fear its creator may have imbued a little too much of themselves into it for that to happen.

If more people would spend time actually TRYING to get better, and not complaining about stupid easy stuff....then I would disagree with how they potential view the average player like that.

But since they're actively attracting people like this and giving them absolutely no reason to improve, their own stance seems to be part of the problem.
