At this point we just have to accept that SE feels they can do any genre - even sci fi or cyberpunk, and make it feel like fantasy still. After all, they did sci fi stuff in Endwalker and yet it felt like fantasy in the way they did it. Which is impressive to pull off actually.
You know, in part I agree, but in part I don't. I don't think everything technology wise they've tried has landed successfully, but you are right, we just have to accept it because what else are we going to do, its just one of the low points of the game, and thus why Solution 9 art style is a low point of dawntrail for me.

The world of FFXIV already struggles with timelines and many other issues so this just adds to it. One of the users in the first page had it right, like the game is fun but it's just not immersive anymore. You just have to accept that a lot of things don't make sense anymore as a player.
