How FF14 can be saved

[SassyAssassin]

So I'm gonna have to world visit and pull a lalafell and happen to run by, trip and fall, and land at your feet huh?

Also for whatever reason that reminded me of the longest game name ever...which is more a synopsis than a title...

Summer-Colored High School Adolescent Record – A Summer At School On An Island Where I Contemplate How The First Day After I Transferred, I Ran Into A Childhood Friend And Was Forced To Join The Journalism Club Where While My Days As A Paparazzi Kid With Great Scoops Made Me Rather Popular Among The Girls, But Strangely My Camera Is Full Of Panty Shots, And Where My Candid Romance Is Going.

Yeah...that's the game title.

Unfortunately square stands between all of us since we can’t world transfer, so my flatbunyybutt remains a mystery

That game sounds very interesting, Im pretty sure if I was a 15 year old boy Id give it a try xD.

Since we are moving FF14 development out of Japan (I forgot about that part), we need a team that can give the Japanese-vibe no matter where the game is being developed (likely Romania, to cut costs).

Set it in a school, forced JP audio, but add subtitles that are wildly inaccurate?

I'm pretty sure the only way to make the game better is to just delete the forums.

And receive only feedback from the cesspits that are reddit and twitter? No thanks. At least we know we're a cesspit.

The characters should use "San" and "Sama" and "Chan" because it's a Japanese game and I find it ultra offensive that this is not in the English dub. This is what defines if I enjoy Japanese media or not.

Hehe...

If this was serious i would have given a kidney for someone to save FF14 from you.

There's feedback? All I see are those being echo chambers where any criticism gets downvoted to hell.

Yeah. Reddit is a cesspit and an echo chamber.

Reddit has been designed to boost the 'good' opinions and hide the bad ones. Not just on the FF14 sub, but across the board.

Too many downvotes mean that you get shadowbanned from a sub, further hiding a view that is contrary to what the people in that sub believe. You try arguing an opinion with dozens of people piling onto you when you can respond just once every 10 minutes because the downvotes won't stop.

This means that people are always looking for upvotes. In order to get those upvotes, they often embellish things. Things then often get so embellished that the real truth becomes somewhat murky. This is because people are afraid to say the real truth because of said downvotes. It is especially prevalent on any gaming, news, or political subreddit. Don't you dare have a balanced viewpoint on any of those. Oh no. You're just asking for trouble.

Have a good view of things that people disagree with? Well, expect the following to happen:

- RUSSIAN BOT!

- CHINESE BOT!

- WELL I LOOKED AT YOUR POST HISTORY FROM...AND YOU SAID...

- SORRY. ALL ACCOUNTS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD ARE CLEARLY PAID SHILLS.

Sadly, the prevalence of Reddit has meant that this frame of mind has managed to creep into many other social media channels.

I don't mind Twitter as much. While it is a cesspit of opinions sometimes, the system has been designed to promote both good and bad ones. If you have an awful opinion, it tends to get promoted because it has so many interactions with it. Twitter has other issues.

Yeah I absolutely cannot stand reddit and only use it when I have to. It's just, ugh, I don't understand why people can't survive without echo chambers. It's mind boggling. Criticizing FF14 isn't akin to murdering your mother, and no criticism and saying everything is perfect and good just leads to stagnation. How do people not understand this?

We need portraits of bowls of fruit!

Square would have to change the rating to mature, but it would be worth it. It's not like Square needs the profits by making it available to a larger audience.

Sorry, but your MMORPG is in another game company.
