Unfortunately, there are a few who don’t quite get it – whether it’s llamatodd, Lanselot, Crystal or Prime saying it – we want FFXIV to return to its successful roots and stop simplifying or streamlining everything. The way they’ve overhauled the Summoner, the Viper and, last but not least, the Black Mage is simply the wrong approach. On top of that, looking back, removing the various tank stances was a mistake.

@BasedEmetSelch Naw, the story has been ass since 6.1 when "Zero" showed up acting like she didn't know what food was. DawnTrail was just infinitely worse than 6.1-6.5

To make it absolutely clear: Dawntrail had a massive problem from the very beginning—to be precise, since Patch 6.55. The story was an absolute nightmare and didn’t make a shred of sense. Who is responsible for this? I’d say Naoki Yoshida, because as head of CBU3, he gave the final green light. Of course, we can’t forget that Daichi Hiori, as Lead Story Writer, contributed significantly to this with his insane focus on Wuk Lamat. But Kate Cwynar, as Lore Consultant and English Localization Lead, also played a role, and the choice of Sena Byrer as a completely unsuitable voice actor was the icing on the cake. Unless they do a complete 180, I’m very skeptical about even a 8.0, especially given that >gcbtw immediately lashes out harshly at any criticism and then acts surprised when people don’t just keep quiet. Well, and on the topic of tacos, I recommend this short by Lilymation youtube.com/shorts/vtnl_dH…

@glitchchilla It’ll be interesting to see which class gets nerfed in 8.0, just like the Summoner. But CBU3’s current motto seems to be, “Why improve things when we can just add something useless?”

FFXIV has never been a left-leaning game. It was a completely normal, apolitical title until DEI was covertly injected into it. Anyone claiming otherwise is simply lying. The actual left-leaning games are Concord, Dustborn, Assassin's Creed Shadows, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, God Of Ware. Go play them—Oh wait! They were all commercial disasters, forgotten or dead within the first two weeks. That was never about creating their own "successful" games; it was always about seizing and destroying everyone else's because other games were better. Raiding and class gameplay used to be genuinely fun and challenging. That ended when leftoids flooded the player base and pressured Square Enix into overhauling the entire system just to appease them. The original Tank design of swapping stances was more fun and exciting. Leftoids even pressured Square Enix to overhaul raiding to suit your demands and threw a tantrum when they were still too hard. At least Ultimate content remains untouched, but Savage raids have been significantly dumbed down and made far too easy. And just like that, FFXIV is dead.

@CrystalBepsis Endwalker had its own issues, and we shouldn't overlook that. The worst part wasn't even the story, but how jobs were actually simplified—like the Summoner

This. I tolerated EW as long as I could, but I couldnt remain silent about DT. Of course, the worst people you hopefully have the pleasure of avoiding, will gaslight, threaten, and harass us over an opinions and views over a videogame. Suddenly you get listed as a bad person. The psychological abuse of the XIV community should be studied.

Geez, the FFXIV community doesn't want me to be a fan in any capacity. Cause what do you mean I'm a bad person if I didn't enjoy an expansion but like the rest of the game? I'm tired of the discourse, grandpa. Part of the reason I don't play anymore.

@_Inevitabilis_ In my opinion, if someone shouts out their opinion in all caps, it’s only natural to take issue with it when they express their views that way. Because it can certainly come across as provocative.

Very well said. Anyone who uses even one of the Mare Replacements and doesn't even like FFXIV in its vanilla state is, unfortunately, in for quite a problem. But unfortunately, the Mare Nuke has made the problem worse rather than better. Now FFXIV is almost like a second Second Life.

@RisfelVT What I never understand is the defenders of DT MSQ. I am absolutely without a shadow of a doubt convinced that Koana was supposed to be the lead in DT. Then something happened behind the scenes and DTs MSQ got cobbled together at the last minute. youtu.be/qjpxJV6_8Ic?si…

This is something I have spoken on several times and even tried to warn my peers interested in the game. I think it's good that you just want to play the game. But these people don't see what I have seen for years. I've criticized the game for its job balance, ok nothing is being done about that. I coped with it. I've pointed out that the crafting for raiding is faulty and demands your time which inevitably makes people purchase a bot. Everyone bots. I coped with it. But the moment the story is something everyone can fall back on being trustworthy suddenly isn't received well because of certain localizers promoting the modern agenda, you lose the trust of the majority of people who liked everything from 6.0 and backwards. Everything from the game systems, job balance, raid scene, RP community and such are factors that have built up the resentment that has the playerbase so divided. Then there's the people who go "it doesn't bother me" or "I just do my own thing". These problems don't just go away because you choose not to engage in them. Hell I didn't want to engage with it until it was shoved in my face when someone can't accept that I'm not here to build a safe space for them. I'm here to raid prog and to win. So I quit the game because the unchecked "peaceful and tolerant" side of the community is the most catered minority, and it is no longer made to cater to veterans like me who loved every story beat even with some flaws. And I have to like and accept these people who don't even play or like the game as much as I did? Fuck that. I really worry about Fanfest 2026. Even if nothing happens, this will always leave a dark mark in the game's history. I'm done with my rant.

【北米 FF14 界隈の炎上】 北米 FanFest を控え、FF14の北米英語圏コミュニティの一部では、ゲームの話が政治、価値観、排除の話と結びつき、一部のユーザーに対する殺害を示唆するような投稿まで出たり、さらには「ただゲームをしたい」という立場すら論争の対象になっていました。 記事の主張を要約すると「日常的な煽りや、差別的とも取れる排除的な言い回しが積み重なり、その延長でFanFestへの脅迫めいた発言まで出ている」という話です。 日本の感覚だと「なんでゲームの話でそこまで行くの?」と感じやすいと思います。 でも、この違和感こそが、北米英語圏と日本のコミュニティの差を考える入口なんだと思います。 【日本の感覚だと、まずこう見えやすい】 日本でゲームのコミュニティが荒れるときって、感覚的には 「界隈の空気が悪い」 「一部が過激」 「運営への不満がこじれた」 みたいな流れとして理解されやすいと思います。 特に、普段の煽りや嫌味と、リアルイベントへの脅迫みたいな話は、別のレベルのものとして見えやすい。後者は、あくまで一部の過激な人だけが起こしている問題だ、と受け取られやすい。 これは恐らく、日本では「対立」が「全体の空気を悪くするもの」として処理されやすく、そのぶん空気やマナーの話に変換されやすいからなんだと思います。 【北米英語圏では】 一方で、北米英語圏の一部では、ゲームの中の話がそのまま政治、宗教、差別、表現、価値観の対立に接続されやすいことがあります。 こちらから見ると「ゲームの話をしているだけ」に見えても、向こうでは「何を許すのか」「誰を排除するのか」という話として読まれやすい傾向がある。 つまり、対立が「立場や価値観の違い」として表に出やすい。だから「ただゲームをしたい」「中立でいたい」みたいな言い方すら、場合によっては何かの立場表明として受け取られてしまう。 ここに、日本の感覚からするとかなり分かりにくい文脈があります。 【日本では、別の形で現れる】 もちろん、日本にも、誰かを排除したり、空気で追い込んだりするような流れはあります。 ただ、それが北米英語圏ほど政治や価値観の対立として前面に出にくくて、ローカルルール、自治、晒し、マナー論争、運営叩き、あるいは「空気を読め」「お前が言うな」「嫌ならやめろ」みたいな形で出やすい。 つまり、こういう炎上や排除の流れ自体は、別に北米だけの特殊な話ではないという話ですが、何が論争として表に出やすいか、どう悪化しやすいかには、文化圏ごとの差がある、という話でもあります。 【この記事の広げ方には注意がいる】 その上で、この手の記事を、投稿主の書き方で見られるような「FF14全体が崩壊している」と読むのは少し雑です。 この記事から見えているのは、あくまで北米英語圏の一部、とくにXや配信者周辺の論争空間の話です。大多数の普通に遊んでいるプレイヤーまで全部そうだと見るのは違うでしょう。 ただ逆に「一部のユーザーが悪い」だけで片付けると、なぜそこまで空気が悪化するのかも見えにくい。 なので、全体化しすぎるのも、個人の問題だけに縮めすぎるのも、どちらも少しズレる… 個人的には、客観的なバランスが大事かなと思います。 【この話を知る意味】 Elemental DC みたいに、日本語以外の話者と接することが珍しくない環境だと、一般的な翻訳機能の進化もあって「言葉の壁」はかなり下がっています。 でも、言葉が読めることと、相手がどういう前提でその話をしているかが分かることは、わりと別です。 翻訳で文章は読めても、文脈までは自動で翻訳されない。 だから、こういう背景を知っておくことって、単なる海外事情の豆知識ではなくて、相手の反応や温度感を読み違えにくくするための実用的な知識でもあると思うんですよね。 【結論】 今回の話は「海外は怖い」で終わらせる話でも、「FF14全体が壊れている」と断じる話でもないと思っています。 同じFF14を見ていても、北米英語圏ではゲームの外にある価値観の対立まで流れ込みやすい。一方で日本では、対立や排除が、空気やマナー、ローカルルールの話として表に出やすい。 その違いを知っておくことは、向こうの炎上を過剰に一般化しないためにも、日本の界隈の空気を見誤らないためにも、たぶん意味があります。 今は、インターネットや翻訳技術の進化で、遠いはずの相手をこれまでになく身近に感じられる時代でもあります。 それはすごく面白いことでもあるし、一方で、言葉は通じても文脈を誤読したままぶつかってしまう危うさもある。 だからこそ、せっかくここまでつながれる時代になったなら、言葉だけじゃなく、その背景まで少しずつ理解しながら、この距離の近さを有意義に使っていけたらいいなと思います。 #FF14 #FFXIV

You're really not alone, Marello. I already had a weird feeling back when Endwalker came out and Zodiark appeared as a boss so early on that something wasn’t quite right with the story. Things got really absurd with the emo bird, and with Dawntrail and Wuk Lamat, they completely lost the plot. In any case, it was no wonder that the Endwalker ending was viewed so critically, especially on the official FF14 forum.

I’ve seen some people talking about those who liked DT’s MSQ, and the response they’ve gotten from those who haven’t. I have a decent bit of free time on my hands right now and it’ll be nice to get this off my chest, so I’m going to share a story here for anyone who cares enough to read it. The first thing you need to understand is that the vitriol and toxicity surrounding the MSQ now is not something new in the ffxiv community. It did not spawn into existence along with Wuk Lamat. The only reason it seemed to come out of nowhere is because last time, the shoe was on the other foot. Back in EW, especially for 6.0, there weren’t a whole lot of us around who didn’t like the MSQ. If we ever shared how we felt about it, we were treated like a nail in need of a hammer. Disagreeing with how heavy handed the messaging was or how we were railroaded into supporting what some of us considered a genocide (Venat) was enough to become public enemy #1 in many spaces. I remember making a reddit post in early 2022, sharing that EW’s story never sat right with me. I wanted to understand why so many people loved it, as it failed to click for me and at the time I didn’t know why. However, I was soon flamed by r/ffxiv. All for having a different opinion. Not long after I got an invite to the group that eventually became known as the Zodiark Trancers. Everyone there had similar experiences. That we weren’t welcome in the general ffxiv community. That we were forced into our own spaces and our own friend groups. I admit, it was nice knowing I wasn’t alone. That others out there had the same experiences I did. In the months and years to come, many of us were banned off of the major subreddits and even the official forums for “violations” that seemingly never broke any listed rules. Some of us received death/rape threats, some of us had entire conspiracies made up about us, and many of us got chased away from ever publicly speaking about or even playing ffxiv again. The MMO board on 4chan was even taken down because one person there hated us so much that he ruined the board by spamming about us. I haven’t checked but I believe that board is missing to this day. Unlike those who complain about “not being allowed to enjoy DT” now, we never enjoyed support from major content creators. Instead, we were mocked publicly by several, only receiving half-hearted apologies in private, if ever. We never had subreddits and forum moderators invent rules like “no talking about Wuk Lamat” to protect our feelings. Instead we were thrown out. Only now, after years of this, has the community sentiment finally changed. Only now is it acceptable to criticize 6.0. It’s a bit too little and bit too late, but at least there’s some vindication there. We gotta take the wins where we can get them. I suppose my point in sharing this story is what I said at the beginning. The thing you need to understand that this is not something new. If you enjoyed DT and are surprised that the community was suddenly so toxic over the MSQ, don’t be. It was always like this. It’s only noticeable to you now because the pitchforks are pointed at you this time.
