The list goes on. The devs are literally sitting at their desk scratching their heads and can't get these concepts right. Instead they give us a island sanctuary that is so overly boring and lackluster and wants us to be happy. I spit on them for this. How many years have they been working on it and still can't figure any of this out? FFXIV is more of a experiment because it feels like this is their first game and trying to figure out what they want. Tired of all these white knights defending them and this game knowing full well this game is far from perfect
Because getting "some" things the way you (or me) personally don't want somehow means they shouldn't be thanked for anything at all? I thank them because I thoroughly enjoy my time playing FFXIV. Every time I log in, I find I'm having fun, and even with limited playtime, I feel like I'm progressing a story and accomplishing something meaningful each day. It doesn't feel like an "experiment" at all. No game is ever perfect, but this one, frankly, feels darn close. The music is exquisite, the story has me engaged, I find the classes fun to play, people I play with are constantly doing things that I can join in on, and the list goes on. Yeah, the UI could use with a little improvement (the chat log in particular), but that doesn't somehow detract from everything else that rocks. What I'm tired of is people taking a video game ultra-seriously, then picking particular things they don't like and declaring the entire game objectively terrible because of it. It's such an immature viewpoint.
