The Image of FFXIV

[Lauront]

They look rather hideous to me, but I'm not fond of this art style from the outset and if this was my first impression of the game, coupled with ARR in general, I'd probably go find something else. They've done some nifty looking anime short piece in the past, which looked way better. Doubt these guides will accomplish what tools like HotN, various well written guides etc. have thus far failed to accomplish. You can lead a horse to water, only this one might kick you in the face for trying to help it. It's down to the incentive structure the game itself creates/imposes.

Actually really cringeworthy videos. Getting to the point where I'd be ashamed to tell someone I play this game.

You and I both, brother.
