>This is the end of 7.1, yeah. You made it past the worst of DT's story.
You're saying this as if the story seriously improves in any way

It doesnt

Calyx is genuinely underrated as a villain imo. He's basically the plot of SOMA made into a character, especially with the looming threat that he may attempt to copy/paste himself in the future to attain a leg up on the WoL soon.

>7.3 was good
Literally nobody thinks this. Nobody asked for this lame shota villain Calyx, the Ascians being trudged back up after their story ended, the new dungeon being the 5TH rehash of Amaurot in a row, or Sphrne bring perma benched after 7.2 built her up to be moving on from Alexandria and joining us. How about instead of rehashing old villains, you actually come up with a new and compelling villain faction? Are the writers that creatively bankrupt that they cant think up a new villain organization that's sa interesting as the Ascians or Garleans? If so fucking fire the entire writer's room.

It was also laughable that the only character who died was some literal who with 2 minutes total screen time from 7.0, and then they acted like we should give one iota of a fuck.

If you actually enjoyed any of this you are a shiteatet of the highest degree and nobody should take your opinion on fiction seriously.

Get a new cope

>Game is basically a visual novel
>Story is boring slop with the most 1 dimensional cardboard cutout main cast with zero flaws and who all get along, zero interesting character dynamics, zero drama, they may as well all be the same character
>Story is 90% yapping, there are zero stakes, constant fakeout deaths, and the power of friendship always saves the day
>Constantly pandering to fags and fujos by sidelining or killing off every attractive female character
>Gameplay is sluggish tab-targetting trash, revolving around repetitive rotations, and cheap DDR fight design where all difficulty has been offloaded to because the classes themselves have been dumbed down and homogenized beyond recognition
>Zero RPG elements, no builds, every Black Mage plays the exact same as eachother
>There is literally zero content if you aren't a hard-core raidfag or ERPer, and even as a raider you barely get content (12 savage fights per expansion and 1 to 2 Ultimates)
>Latest expansion was a disaster in both Story and content. Tranny-voiced furry Mary Sue destroyed a decade of narrative goodwill
>/v/ still defends this game ax the best MMO ever made

Why? This game is the literal personification of everything/v/ claims to hate and yet there I'd a dedicated defense force for this game here. Even other FFXIV communities like Reddit, the forums, etc agree the game is in a very bad state right now. Yet /v/ STILL loves it. Why? What is it about this game that has enraptured this board?

THE ABSOLUTE STATE OF THIS GAME
