Why is FFXIV using rubber bullets in the wild west?

I’m a bit confused because like, what else did you expect? A brutal Mortal Kombat murder scene where the guys head pops like a water melon on bullet impact? Pretty sure that’d put the age rating up lol.

I don’t think they’ve ever wanted FFXIV to be that kind of game. I mean, the fact characters rarely - if ever - actually ‘die’ is the biggest evidence of that I’d say.

Uh... Did Endwalker not happen or something? Because bullets popping heads is kind of a thing already. Nobody is saying you need mortal kombat fatalities right on the screen, but at least let's not regress from what the game used to allow itself.
