All I've ever even heard on the matter is about artists. Artist this, artist that, artists are losing jobs, but its never about the other professions that could just as easily be "replaced" as you mentioned. While the answer to "why" is pretty obvious, I wish they were more consistent with their performative outrage at the very least. But hey, at least the human centipede of an echochamber will praise them for their virtue, and thats worth...something, maybe?















In the latest dev interview, they finally addressed the AI misinformation spreading on the internet about NTE. Yang Lei said, “Our assets and character portraits will never use AI.” They will only use AI to test atmospheric renderings, and everything will later be created by the developers. #Nte







It’s 2026, we are gonna be 6 expansions deep into FFXIV soon. Can we stop with the weird gatekeepy behavior if someone doesn’t want to play through 250 hours of story to be able to play some of the best MMO raid encounters ever made? Heaven forbid someone asks you a small lore question if they start getting interested in the story after starting the game 10 years late. Are we really gonna keep driving people away with this weird NIMBY ritual? Just use your social skills (lol) and answer the small question, suggest they start a story alt on their downtime, or direct them to a synopsis video on YouTube. Crying about “story skippers” this deep into a game’s development cycle is peak cringe. If they set up a skip to Dawntrail for new characters to jump into the new story arc I and many others feel like it would be beneficial for the game’s long term health. While the Hydaelyn/Zodiark arc is great storytelling it’s also not a sacred cow for people to clutch pearls over. At the end of the day, it’s a game to be played. We’re all better than this and should start acting like it.
