Why this Live Letter Matters

[ZephyrMenodora]

I would like to take this time out of my night to humbly remind the lovely participants of this thread of one crucial detail of the English language. The word "fan"....... is, was, has been, and always will remain....

......Shorthand for "fanatic". Think on that for a spell, and maybe a Grand Wizard Revelation may come to your mind.

Fan and fanatic are not used to mean the same thing. A basic dictionary will show you this.

The only right thing to do. Stirring the hive, setting the stakes for civilization to fall, backing the dagger, etc.

I was bored, and the thread middling. Sue me. (͠≖ ͜ʖ͠≖)

Man, this may be unrelated to the OP or the thread but, this Zephyr guy is just sad.

Nah, actually. He is the happiest person on this planet. The best example of human being. He was TOP 1% in his law school exams, have great carreer and wonderfull family and other stuff I dont remember he bragged about. And he still have time to post shit on the forum. :P

*being wrong about F4 again*

Nah. Institute story was actually the only interesting one. You should do their storyline. Gives at least some light why is their reasoning. That story wasnt just black or white.
Tbh, what could you do after ending F4 storyline? More settlements? :P Dunno. I was hyped for F4 for so many years and got only totally dissapointed.

They never explained how New Vegas wasnt hit by a bomb, yet looked like it had. Weird. - Hey. Look at how surrouding of Las vegas looks. Its basically same even now

Also. Where is the mention of Old World Blues? You are making me trully sad

One another reason why is FNW so much better than 4: I hate F4 radio. Holy shit. Are there any other songs than Wanderer?

No thanks. The backstory on the Institute included the fact they were deliberately making supermutants, organised an assassination attack at the peace talks, are routinely kidnapping people and replacing them, their concept of "Mankind Redefined" included pseudohuman "children"..for all their flaws, at least the Minutemen wanted to at least help rebuild.

Preston may be annoying, but his heart is in the right place.

I LOVED building settlements..also took perverse joy in sending Marcie Long to live with the ghouls. I didnt like Old World Blues, Lonesome Road was my only real favourite DLC in New Vegas. I felt akin to Ulysses..loved his foresight of the future.

Far Harbour was a load of fun. Oh and the radio? There are loads of mods with some VERY cool stations, one of them was early jazz. You havent lived until you roam the wasteland to the voices of Dizzy G, Satchmo, Duke Ellington and of course, now and forever, the great and only Count Basie. The addon also had big band tracks, ahh yes, those were the days.

( P.S Salty..at the end of that Mel Brooks movie? Blazing Saddles? The guy on the piano was Count Basie himself, the man had the gift and he had STYLE )

You also tortured Marcie? I made her job to be in the stocks. She would wake up and just put herself in the stocks. It was great.

Let's not pretend that Square Enix made a game design "decision" at anywhere in their offices. It's a cost-cutting/resource-reallocation maneuver disguised in PR-speak.

People twist their neurons and axons all around their brain to come up with a reason for why they designed content this way. Lmao. Just face the simple truth that they don't want to invest that much into FF14 because they hit decreasing marginal returns investing in FF14 beyond this bare husk of an MMO. There isn't a system design problem with FF14. There is a budget, management, and resource problem.

You are right and I just don't like it.

Square enix taking Yoshi-P out to work on FF16 should have been a huge red flag.

Cant use that excuse anymore now that the game has not only gone golden long ago but its getting close to release.

What then? Oh wait, let me adjust that huge hershey's kiss wrapper made tinfoil hat you guys have on and direct you to another excuse youll most likely make by pointing out that hes one of the chairmen for the company.

Oh cant forget that Yoshida has been directing another MMO all this time....




Whats it called you may ask? Oh just a small pet project that is a huge focus in the Japanese market called Dragon Quest frickin 10.

So yeah if hes been juggling projects all this time and FFXIV is supposedly suffering for it, I highly doubt thats the case.

Stop having Rational Thoughts.

It's not just him but also large portions of the dev team that get pulled away to work on other FF titles. This is not the first or last time and you can always feel the ramifications.
