I heavily agree with this.
Is it okay to point out shortcomings? Absolutely.
Spread the opinion that we're realistic, blinded.
FFXIV criticism:
Latency variance sucks
4 man content? Too easy.
Raids? Fantastic challenge
Gearing cycle, releasing Normal & Savage same time? Blows

Release Normal and Savage two weeks apart EVERY tier so we can ADJUST to changes. Some players only play 1 job.
ALSO so we can enjoy the story for those that both hardcore race AND want to see the cutscenes. Please don't force us to choose because the choice is always Esc + Skip
OVERHAUL THE FRIENDS LIST SYSTEM.
Why give us only 200 slots after so many years?! There's NO WAY we can have all our friends across an entire data center with that.
It also loads SO SLOWLY. So does mogmail.
Overhaul these or -
give us more Crossworld Linkshells & increase the # of players allowed in them.
> Static CWLS
> Hunt CWLS
> Map CWLS
> Streamers community CWLS
> Discord CWLS
> Friend CWLS
> Pug CWLS
Look at that we're already almost capped and the other possibilities could EASILY take up 16.
So many things we have clip through our player models. It sucks to watch that because the graphics are beautiful but clipping can pose many issues that some players don't like.
This next one gets its own post:
YOU TOOK AWAY OUR WAYMARKERS MIDCOMBAT BUT ONLY GAVE US 5 SLOTS. WHAT DO YOU HONESTLY EXPECT US TO DO WITH THAT?! 4 SAVAGE FIGHTS + 1 ULTIMATE AND THAT'S ONLY WITH 1 STRAT SETUP PER FIGHT. THIS ISN'T EVEN INCLUDING THE EXTREME TRIALS, OR OLD FIGHTS. WATCH THIS FOR PATCH 5.3:
Waymarker Presets:
1. E5s
2. E6s
3. E7s
4. E8s
5. UCoB
6. UWU
7. TEA
8. Unreal Shiva
9. New 5.3 Trial Extreme
10. LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO REVISIT.

If you're going to punish the community at large to get back at the few, can you at LEAST make it reasonable? Thank you.
All of this being said I absolutely LOVE Final Fantasy XIV. This is my favorite game. It's not even a question. The communities are phenomenal and the bonds I've made are long-lasting.
The story is captivating. The BGMs are entrancing. The trailers and PLLs are hype. -
The raids are riveting. World progression feels fantastic but teaching fights to newbies prone to mistakes and speedrunning can be a CHORE when cutscenes mid-combat exist for no purpose in Savage. Keep them in normal mode PLEASE.

Continuing on the positives:
The maps are fantastic. They all feel extremely well fleshed out and fun to traverse(Even if it's basically over after you finish the area in MSQs or go back for beast tribe. A ranks don't count. You fly there, kill it, and leave).

Voice acting is on point and I look forward to
Every single new patch.

This game is 10/10 for me my favorite, there's no doubt. That being said I see its drawbacks, its shortcomings.
The schisms in the communities between raiders and non raiders. That's part of a problem we created but also barriers along the way in patches
Work together. Don't get so easily offended over both the game and review on the players.

This is my opinion:
"Don't harrass players and inhibit their joy" is a rule and is a double-edged sword I hope people can agree with
When you don't exert your own effort you literally inhibit the joy of 7 other players.
Why is it okay to be selfish and not be punished but you can report others because you're lazy?
I've seen people literally banned while on stream because they asked someone NICELY to put effort in like DPSing as a healer in a dungeon to hasten their experience.
If you are going to create a DPS-Oriented combat system for literally every single job in this game then you should try your best to understand that players will EXPECT everyone to contribute and if they don't then it is making the experience for the rest of the party miserable.
Thank you for reading my thoughts. Are these all of them? Not in the least, but they are good examples of pros and cons and I love you all. I hope we can work towards a better future and more open minded future. <3 So many wonderful friends have yet to start their adventures!
