The Lessons Not Learned.

[LianaThorne]

I dont see an issue here.

"I don't see an issue, therefore one must not exist."

I love when people use this take because not only does it show what side said person is on but also that they're willing to put blinders on and invalidate the views of others. Noice.
---------------

Also, let me throw in this easily Google-able piece of information since you seem to think the game is a JRPG over an MMORPG:
:

"Final Fantasy XIV is an MMORPG and features a persistent world in which players can interact with each other and the environment."

And there's, of course, this little bit that we all know by now:

"Did you know that the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV has a free trial, and includes the entirety of A Realm Reborn AND the award-winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 with no restrictions on playtime?"

If you think it really is a JRPG first then cool, your life..whatever works. Just I hope you're also aware that the vast majority dont view it that way, at least by google-able sources.

I mean...again 2 sides. All they said was they personally don't see an issue. They don't have to care past that as it doesn't effect them. No real right or wrong there.

And let's say it IS wrong. These negative topics succeed in invalidating the opinions of those who don't have issues with these things. "Don't agree with the negativity? You're a lost cause n not worth talking to". It's a circle of stupidity.

Btw regardless of what's said you're spending most of your time in xiv akin to an rpg. Xiv being an rpg with mmo elements isn't a new take. Many have said this over the years and I can't say they are wrong.

- You don't need to care about what they say, half the time I don't care past surface level when it comes to things people bring up. Doesn't mean I just read it and go "Oh no this can't be a thing at all because I don't see the same issue." People wouldn't be bringing things up if it wasn't an issue in the first place so like...you don't have to care but don't invalidate someone else at the same time.

- Not sure where the whole lost cause thing came from but if someone else said that then that doesn't represent me or my intentions, personally I just try to explain to people who don't see it why there is an issue and leave it at that/debate if I feel like having a big mouth that day. I'm also extremely blunt with my words so that can come off in a bad way as well. If they really don't want to see it then that's not a me problem at that point and I also tend to not get along well with those people because I prefer people who have open minds and are willing to see both sides of a situation. That's just a personal preference. But I'm not gonna be like: "Nah you're not worth my time, sorry." to people unless they resort to personal attacks.

- XIV's biggest JRPG element to me is the MSQ, that's it. Everything else outside of that isn't. That's my opinion. If others want to say that they think it is, that's cool. Your life, whatever works. Just, I personally have not heard anyone call it a JRPG in my time playing the game, they refer to it as an MMORPG. That's just my experience and maybe it's different for other people.

Top part goes on the assumption that there IS a problem. Things being brought up doesn't automatically mean there's an issue. That's flawed logic. The only thing it means is that said person has a problem with it. Could they be right? Yes. Could they be wrong? Also yes. For example if someone complained XIV doesn't have enough music would they be correct? I'd say no especially considering the game has the world record for most music in a video game iirc.

I wasn't referring to you saying that. You must not be paying attention to the thread (or have certain folks on ignore lol). Others are doing that. Not you lol

And yeah that makes sense. I wouldn't call it a widespread thing. I wouldn't call it rare either though. Not like that a huge issue really it's just viewpoints ya know?

Second part is accurate. I check things I post on once every day or two or not at all after the first post I make. Also don't have anyone on ignore (though I'm sure I am to some xD), don't feel a need to.

With that brought up, see ya'll in a day or two.
