Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

yea i think i just have the bends from the good writing in the last couple of expansions' role quests and a fair few class quests. it sort of slotted into the ham fisted "multiculturalism" (leftist) shit they keep using.

in a world that previously neversaid anyway, and instead said anyroad because the writers were diligent and/or obsessed with using their own terminology, they suddenly start using multiculturalisms left and right starting this expansion. and sliding in quips about "we don't have genders"...on the dragons that fucking had genders for 10,000 years or whatever

I still think you're seeing boogey men that aren't there.

But if you really want to focus on that, recall the devs are Japanese. Japan historically has had a beef with the West and western religions going back fucking 500+ years ever since the Portuguese Catholics had machinations to take over the country. The reason "the church" is usually a badguy in Japanese media is because they were badguys historically in that country. It's not some new phenomenon lol

That is true, it definitely explains the sudden shift since post endwalker, around the time they changed writers, and localizers, and hired some Californian voice/localizer folks.

the civilization that called westerners literally "stinky milk drinkers" for hundreds of years totally would start talking about diversity about now i suppose.

I feel like they went over the top with "cutscenes". 10 cutscenes to fetch a bracelet in the Wild West area. Yea I'm going to start skipping shit now.This expansion is not very good.

Lmao wait until you find out it was all for naught

Go to NPC, cutscene. Meet me over there, cutscene. Click a shiny ground thing, cutscene. Go to NPC, cutscene. Who thought this was a good idea? When the black loading screen shows up my brain starts raging.

Maybe it used to be that way, but I just recently started but decided to take a MSQ break at 70 and got my newbie Summoner going (the level 30 class). I promise you I haven't switched out of that job, and picked up every single one of those locked quests as my lowbie Summoner. Maybe the 1st check uses your highest job level? Who knows.

it would not shock me if when they re-did the lower game some stuff is janky.

yea i absolutely do not understand why they don't have an npc follow you, like your chocobo does, and fight if you fight. and they talk, with voice so you can hear it, about the lore dumps. then instead of you walking to pick up some reeds with the big owl man. he's fighting with you and remarking about his people's traidtion or whatever while you are engaging in game play.

though in retrospect my plan falls apart when i realize that it would be wook lamot following and chatting for half of it.

Finally something interesting happened there at the train station. I hope the stupid ARR quests are over with now.

The MSQ gets more interesting at that point - until then it was a total slog.

i dunno man. this quest where a white dude stole a totem pole from a brown villiagers, then fled to radzathan, and incompetiently bumbled around while a black soldier saved him. then a black child was in danger due to the exploits of the bad white man is pretty gripping.

the last 3 quests have just been about how the white man is incompetent and only the power in the sacred totem pole from good honest coloreod people make it work.

And then it lasts 1 zone.

man. while working on the tank DT class quest i stumbled upon the dark knight 'finisher' quest from i guuess shadowbringers i didn't finish. the diference in writing style and ham fisted politicking is astounding. siggard was like "hey bro, i have a letter for you" and had an arguement with his ward, who ran off. then i go to the person they have the letter on. the person has a bit of a touching story about some fighti n ishgard you were at, but said she got it from another dude.

that guy talks about how he was at the gimlet dark and some one at rhalgar's reach gave him the letter. already interested in who ultimately sent it. not a clumsy pushing of some opressor opressed narative. no painting anyone as being wrong by virtue of their point of origin. just a fucking quest.

what's the most galling is that the lesson of ARR till...shit some time in SB, is "maybe all these people of various skin t ones and actual races (beast tribes) should cooperate. and it didn't feel like some one spinning politicks. I hope the FF team gets an impacted ass full of completains and return to their old quality and leave the politicking to the retards in america.

i haven't met all those npc's but..i'm not surprised that fans like fan favorates and hate puking retards.
