Guess we're having this argument yet again.

What else are we going to do on the FFXIV Forums?

yeah and I'm sure most of us are already sick and tired of seeing this crap bleed into some threads trying to discuss other elements of this game. We already have the "What's the deal with that lackluster story ya-da thread", how about people try to have their arguments there or even better yet, ignore the people whom clearly are trying to instigate drama and responses? And Im talking about both sides here. Wasnt this thread originally supposed to be us discussing about whats in the recent LL? yeah the last few pages sure seems like we're having a healthy discussion about that :/

Maybe Golbez is being controlled by whatever if anything on the 13th's moon. Don't forget they said each shards moon had its own thing going on with it

True, Yoshi-P was very specific about the moon trivia which makes me think this is something we're gonna see sooner rather than later.

Though I don't think they would do it, a plot that involves bringing together the remnants of Zodiark's dark energies in order to re-create him or a similar god to inherit his will would be interesting to see. It would give the currently unaccounted for Ascians something to do. The felling of both major deities without a replacement for either is something that never sat well with me.

One thing is "killing magic" at the end of a single player game, as much of a letdown as that is. Another thing is "killing magic" in an ongoing fantasy world. Religion outside of Eorzea and more specifically Ishgard isn't nearly as developed as it could be, and it is further complicated by us knowing that there really aren't any true gods out there, except for the 12 which don't seem to care about much of anything.

Taking away both major gods while causing a lot of twists in order to prop up one and dedicating no more than an hour's worth of time in Endwalker to the other didn't help matters much. Now in 6.2 we'll have the Loporrits dancing atop the Crater of Martyrs to further belittle Zodiark's importance, angering fans of both him and the Ascians, while the MSQ continues to push Hydaelyn and Meteion onto us. Is it any wonder then why some people aren't finding this writing to their liking and are sceptical of what is coming next?

Let YoshiP and the Devs make their game, and then judge it when it happens. Stop preemptively passing judgement on something before it even happens and then look silly when you are wrong.

I think I will continue speaking my mind on things as they are teased/announced and hold them accountable by speaking out whenever what we see in game does not match what they say elsewhere. New characters didn't materialize in 6.1. This was not to the game's benefit. New characters are coming in 6.2. This is good and is aligned with what they said previously. It is our duty as the customers and consumers of this game to maintain and raise the bar of quality for this game. Expressing ourselves clearly and honestly is necessary for that to occur.

They didnt need to, it wasn't relevant. You thinking it should happen isnt something you can blame the Devs and hold them accountable for when they didnt even say they were introducing new party members in 6.1. What works to the games benefit is new content, which we got, which people played and enjoyed. A new party member wasnt a detriment to that.
Feel free to be Honest and dont make things up out of thin air then get mad at anybody but yourself.

Yeah but....when you have such odd takes like complaining about the "image of Final Fantasy XIV" and now complaining about Lopporits dancing (which obviously is playing into the next set of Hildibrand quests which that thing is appropriate for and ALSO A REFERENCE to the dancers in FFIV, and also this doesnt even matter in the grand scheme of things to cause players to unsubscribe to the game) then we as a community also need to discuss and look back into whatever feedback we give that's considered actually plausible and viable. You cant forever hide your nitpicks and complaints as good feedback.
