That Which He Does Not Play

[Alleo]

Idk about you but I'd prefer to live in a world where everything isn't 100% positive all the time.

If people wanna complain about the sky being blue instead of yellow, let em. What does someone else's random opinion really do to your day?

I do too. Which is why in the past a lot of my posts have been negative. I was even saying that I would stop playing the game if Endwalker would not be better. It did get better and now I have no problem posting about the things I like too because I finally have more content that I do like. (I also enjoyed the story)

Yet eventhough I have (and will!) complain about something, I am still of the opinion that you should have at least done the content you complain about. OP at least posted in the past that they have not done the Island and got all his information from someone that seemingly did it. Yet he complained all the same as if he has done it. That does not feel right to me.

There is also the case with him that in the past he truly disliked the scions and even created threads about how he would change it and the story and yet when we finally get a new character with Zero he right away creates another thread where he dislikes her..and oh boy what a thread that one was.

So the OP feels like someone that simply cant find joy in this game anymore. Yet continues to pay a sub for seemingly logging in twice a week or something like that and still buys mog station stuff (or is fine with getting it send to him...when I was not happy with the game I forbid my friend from giving me something from the shop because I did not want to support SE even further...I also took weeks or a month long breaks between my subs). So bascially it feels like he is simply here to stir the pot.

Good morning.

To be honest, I wish the Scions were murdered in Endwalker so we could have a fresh start in 6.1 and revisit secondary characters and flesh out their stories more. I also think Endwalker was a step down from Shadowbringers outside of the Elpis section but I also love the scenery so that might have also contributed to my liking of it. 6.1 was forgettable and 6.2 took a step in the right direction but I'm still kinda meh about it because I feel like I can predict what's going to happen already. Does that mean I'm gonna quit the game cause I take issue with the story? No, cause I don't play 14 just for the story. There are other reasons to keep my sub rolling.

Should you play something before criticizing it? Yeah. I'll agree with you there. We should. We're humans though and we tend to decide an opinion of someone or something based off external appearances before internal. Debate with me on that if you want.

The rest of your post is not anything I'll comment on as I don't have opinions about what people do with their money. Not my business nor would I want others having any sort of input on what I do with my own.

I can't for the life of me figure out why all of them survived. I can understand SE not wanting to kill every Scion, since some players do indeed like them quite a bit, but at least one or two of them should probably have stayed dead. I felt all of them being brought back for the final battle (then surviving that final battle, albeit only through the WoL's intervention) really hurt the narrative.

The above aside, given how 6.0's portion of the story ends, it's a bit peculiar we went right back to dealing with some of the Scions instead of revisiting old faces.

Completely disagree. I don't consider my time as trash. If I can tell I'm not going to care for a content or product based on what I read and see analysis of, I'm not going to waste it by playing. That's why previews, reviews and impressions exist.

That argument feels a lot like when my friend tried to get me into a lot of games now a days. "Oh, don't worry about the beginning, the game gets good around the 40 hour mark!", why would I slog through 40 hours of the boring part just to get to the part that might make me go "Oh cool, that's neat." lol

I am still of the opinion that you should have at least done the content you complain about.

I'll bite.

I don't need to have leveled any of the 4 healers to level 90, or even play them at all for that matter, to know and complain that Dosis, Glare, Malefic and Broil spam is boring.

I only dont share this sentiment personally, because I just view it as downtime until its time/I need to heal. Since y'know, Im playing a Healer
Sure, we could use more dps buttons (Bring back Aero 3 Dammit) but its not their main focus, so Its not my main focus.
But I know thats not an attitude thats widely shared
