The Image of FFXIV

The comparisons invoked of Dark Souls or Game of Thrones (the latter of which I wouldn't even consider extreme in terms of how it handles consequences and loss) in arguments against positive changes to both story and gameplay aren't helpful. Both stand to improve.

Fundamentally I want a video game with a captivating fantasy story. I do not want a main campaign that provides little to no substantial challenges or a story that errs on the side of safety or "feels" with an unchanging cast.

I feel like anyone comparing anything even remotely difficult to Dark Souls has never touched touched a single Ninja Gaiden in their life, 2d or 3d.

Honestly I think most people claiming souls games are difficult have never actually played one before. They just parrot what other people have said about how hard they are.

It gets to the point where sometimes I wish the Soulsborne series never gained that reputation to begin with, but then people would just jump to the next comparison and use that instead.

Such as Ninja Gaiden U_U.

Yeah, especially when the intention is basically just to shut down any requests for a bit more difficulty in some modes, with the usual "go play that game instead".
