Reddit vs. the Forums in the Graphics War of '24

[Arkdra]

Isn't it interesting that most people (though, of course, not everyone) posting on the FFXIV Reddit favour the visual updates to characters, while the opposite is true on this forum?

I wonder why the two have such different perspectives. Hopping between both Reddit and here is like visiting alternative realities.

It's because this forum is maniacs only.

Reddit is a discussion board for fans to talk about the game. This is a place for customers to leave feedback to developers.

Anyway...

Also, there's almost 300 threads of useless Graphics Update Feedback. How a dev is supposed to gather useful, orderly, well constructed feedback from so many threads is beyond me.

Big Fan guy is the best thread on the forum currently don't you drag them into this.

If only there were people whose job is to gather data, discern what's meaningful and present it to the devs...

There are people like that, and they are currently tearing out their hair in clumps because they have to comb over dozens of pages of hysterics.
It's sad because threads with good feedback might get overlooked in favor of threads where people doompost because their characters were turned into unrecognizable monstrosities.

Go apply to SE then, why are you telling me lol. Some of you have some weird parasocial relationships with SE employees.
