A fair amount of the cast has the rough backstory: "I was uncomfortable with my human life but as a Nikke I'm my truest self!" The devs might be cowards but you gotta at least headcanon that those girls are trans. The central gov would leap at the chance of putting a tgirl brain in a robot.

I think the dev team is aware but is afraid of doing a full re-tread. XI devs originally went over to build XIV and ARR and its clear that after the 24 man, a lot of them are still there.

There are a lot of XIV story threads that feel like a continuation or remix of threads in XI. Actually if you talk to the NPCs in Lower Jueno after completing the Third Walk, they are quoting some DEEP lore about the world and about the playerbase back in the day.

Cool idea. Just a lil' devil's advocate here: How is doing a fight min-ilvl different from just clearing it on patch day? 'Cause just walking in there with last patch's tome gear is just min-ilvl.

Basically the "sad desert village" to the over-the-top Titan fight, I think all the villagers should be reacting a tad more strongly to the mountain standing up and fist-fighting a demon.

Actually, American Baseball got patched a couple years ago to add a clock to the pitch. Significantly reduced the length of games.

If on the off-chance there is a single Ascian left, its probly some low rank guy who isn't a threat and is probly living the rest of his life in a cave so he doesn't aggro the WoL who shattered his bosses into a thousand pieces and then went into the lifestream to make sure they stayed dead.

There is the Telephori. Who I got the impression was a group of Sundered Ascians, but the only known members are Fandaniel and Zenos. So it could have been just Fandaniel being a dramatic theatre nerd making a funny name for his cool guys club.

Or a nearly idential Hyur Highlander appears with a completely new wrestling gimmick, our WoL gets a single "Wait.... aren't you?" prompt before they are quickly shushed for almost breaking kayfabe.

No hate tho, play games how you want to play them. Don't feel pressured to play games "the correct way."
As far as Pat goes, we all know he has his mind goblins.

Game as "immutable concept": Yeah, generally better to wait for game to be "finished."
Game as "a moment in time": I'm having a lot of fun exploring, building out my arsenal of weapons.
But if you wait for G-Rank, all of LR and HR will be a trudge to get to "where the game actually starts."

I mean, I like how goofy and "saturday morning cartoon" they are.... BUT! I really hope they go a different direction for next expac. Make Dawntrail have the goofy one that we can point at and have a sensible chuckle. (Also mourning the loss of job quests for every job but that's another topic)

Excited for Tsukuyomi, was one of my favorite fights back in the day. Trying to explain to people where to drop the meteors felt like pulling teeth sometimes tho...

The FF7 remake project spent a while before it found its footing. (Starting back with CyberConnect before being brought inhouse within SE themselves) So they're not the smoothest either, but I see your point with Rebirth.

Does the term "development hell" even have a meaning in today's context?

That or the "Blessed in Her Glorious Light" version would be great as an orchestrion roll.
