worst flaw in ffxiv by far:
the lack of linguistic diversity
you seriously expect me to believe that everyone is communicating in perfect british english? eorzeans and othardians have no linguistic barriers at all? not even a "using slang they dont understand" or "cultural miscommunication" problem? like. i know the echo-bearers can *understand* everyone but what about these regular non-echo people. why can the french elf from a country that has spent a thousand years in near-total isolation from the rest of the world seamlessly communicate with a nomadic mongolian lizard from an entirely different continent?? i get that for game purposes it would be unrealistic but like. it is referenced multiple times over that there ARE foreign languages and "old languages" eg "this word is an old garlean word/this is named after a padjali concept" right but like. somehow everyone has no issues. i try to rationalise it in my head as like ah the high-class characters would be educated in other languages / the merchants and those that travel a lot would pick up on foreign languages / the oppressed countries eg doma and ala mhigo would be forced in some way to learn the languages of their colonisers" but like it is SO immersion breaking sometimes that you can take an ordinary commoner from some far-flung place and have them communicate perfectly with someone from halfway across the world who would have no knowledge of their language!!! 90 percent of the time there isnt even much accent diversity either like the viera are kinda icelandic and the thavnairians have indian accents but seriously your studio couldnt find ANY other accents...

I really, REALLY hate people who bail in the middle of a game the minute they realise their losing. So what? Suck it up & fight harder!

Refusal to distinct 'own' from 'made' drives me absolutely fucking insane.
Just because Disney now owns Fox Studios does not mean Anastasia is SUDDENLY now a Disney movie.
Disney did not make this film. They were not involved in it at all during its production or release. Them buying the studio doesn't suddenly mean it's Disney now.
This isn't like Star Wars where the property is still being made so it can go under the Disney umbrella.
Anastasia has not, is not and will never be a Disney Movie unless Disney decides to make new content with the Anastasia property.
If it should be called anything, it should be called a Don Bluth movie!
Stop giving Disney the credit for other people's work just because they bought the studio 20+ years after the property's release!

I have to watch these video trainings for work, and it won't let me alter the playback speed. Don't make me listen to boring crap at 1x, I need 2x or nothing.

nothing sluttier than lighting up a cigarette immediately after an absolutely brutal fight and inhaling deeply before exhaling the smoke with a sigh of relief while still disheveled and covered in blood and coming down from the adrenaline high. you could literally have sex onscreen and it would be less erotic.

cannot describe how much I hate the tendency to speak about things like internalized homophobia or compulsory heterosexuality as though they're like, medical disorders one is afflicted by instead of descriptors for the way aspects of oppressive systems are internalized and often aggressively self-enforced
