9. worst part of canon 10. worst part of fanon

for whatever fandom(s) you want but xiv and fl are two we immediately recall we're both into

9. worst part of canon

for ffxiv: the way heavensward handles the infamous "bloody banquet" sequence from the end of ARR is like. GENUINELY atrocious. like a complete failure in every conceivable way. it's dragged down the entire expansion for me, that's how unbelievably bad it is. it's by far the worst piece of writing in the entire game bar none, i hate it, every day i wish they had just had the balls to murder nanamo in cold blood and be done with it

10. worst part of fanon

for ffxiv: ehhhhhhhh.... i may get a few tomatoes for saying this, but maybe the hype over haurchefant??? i feel like ysayle's death was infinitely more impactful and it's honestly really lame that everyone tends to overlook her in favor of Some Guy that- while he did die tragically and excellently- tends to be heralded as just. the gold standard sole standout example of characters that have died over the course of the story. i just wish my girl iceheart got some more love, y'know. she deserves it. she deserves it mayhaps even more than that elf does. what i'm saying is stop giving your WoLs passionate tragic flings with haurchefant and swap him out for ysayle to create the doomed yuri i KNOW that girl deserves

for fallen london: this one is hard, because i honestly feel like there's not much about fanon stuff in FL that really irritates me personally...? and it's such a small fandom that saying anything specific feels weirdly mean on behalf of the guys that actually like that particular fanon trend. like. the ffxiv fandom is so large and so spread out that i feel comfortable more intensely bullying it, but FL is like a small town where everybody knows everybody else and idk maybe i'm overthinking this single question way too much. um. people occasionally blatantly ignoring themes and subtext is kind of annoying, i guess. like all of the liberation of night discourse threads on reddit that are just full to the brim of guys saying the judgements are, if not strictly good, at minimum correct in enforcing laws and light and just generally being little dictator god bitches? it's like.
