Thread: Review of 6.3 Story Content

The writers just decided that they where not going to be long-term characters in whatever they have lined up. It sucks when that happens to characters you like (I still miss you Moenbryda...) but it happens. I wonder if the complaints about the Four Fiends would be the same if they where unique FFXIV creations, or if some are putting them on pedestals just because of their legacy.

I feel that if their back stories were part of the MSQ we'd have more people complaining about the pace these last two patches. Along with how much more filler they'd both feel like. This is the XIV community when hasn't it put things on absurdly high pedestals only to get grouchy when something doesn't meet their expectations.

That's why I just approach everything as it's own stand-alone thing, even if it's from another game. "oh neat, they added this" is about all I go into it.





Remember the outrage when fenrir was "just a dungeon boss"? People expected it to be some huge summon/major boss thing because of XI.....

Don't forget Anima. The fact that they showed it off should've been a clue it wasn't going to be a trial. They tend to keep those things to themselves.

I had a person say I was crazy for wanting to know the difference between why some things when they die just turn into aether dust. You know the stuff you see all over the Delta Quadrant in Azys La and how some people like Yasale, Elidibus, Haurchefant ect get the Farplane sperm thingies.

For me up to ShB Hydelean and Zodiark felt like they were going beat for beat of the Altana Vs Promethean storyline from XI. Heck both MMOs have the players beat up Hades at the end of one of their expansions. And yes the it has to be all one way or the other is one of my gripes with the community as well. Especially when it comes to liking or disliking something. You say you like something and somehow that must mean you don't have any minor faults with it. Or that you have to be a shill.

I think there's probably more people who remember and care about Delores Bear and his ill fated party than Edda herself. There were even people who had forgotten who G'Raha was when starting ShB due to how long ago they had done the CT raid.

Wasnt saying that. Just that people complaining that the we defeated all of the fiends within these patches while I can understand wishing a bit more from them (me included), its also a bad thing to drag them out for longer than necessary. I reserve my full judgement till 7.0 comes and then I can see how I ultimately feel how post-EW was handled. So far I think its just ok, interesting but just curious whats it building up to.

You want actual filler, you should force them to explain every X.1 or X.4 patch instead.

Yes, the little Lala made a dumb point. Yes, the little Lala's accusation was pathetic. But please, leave him alone, he just ran head first into a wall and clearly didn't know any better. He's probably very fresh and feels like a pimp.

1) Returning the Scion's souls.

In crystals, which as has been stated, was an extremely dangerous, last ditch exercise, a one shot which, if it had gone wrong, was irreversible.

2) Returning G'Raha's soul (his was kind of different).

Same thing. WE did the travelling because WE can traverse between the First and the Source.

3) Bringing Unu to the First.

..for which we got a royal ( and well deserved ) REAMING from Beq Lugg.
