This is why I disagree with this sentiment that negative judgement is subjective, but positive judgement is somehow objective, because the game is successful.
I'm absolutely not saying that, and I'm sorry if it came across like that. My point was that we all agree that FFXIV is a good game, made by people who generally know how to make a good game. That's not because it's some kind of objective truth, but because we wouldn't be here after all these expansions if we didn't agree; the people who don't think FFXIV is a good game, by and large, aren't talking about its fourth expansion.

I think a lot of the people really mad about Endwalker created a mental image of FFXIV that didn't turn out to be accurate. And now, they have to grapple with that.
