^square has done far more to destroy 14’s old design style of a “combat MMO” than the community ever has, dropping the average ShB baby into HW would give them a full on heart attack and those design changes were entirely square enix decision

I’m on console so I don’t use mods but I’d argue mods are half attempting to fix the games terrible source code (Alexander/no clippy) or spicing up a massively homogenised and dated feeling game (RP mods, changes to skill designs)
