The US consumer culture of “customer is always right” has spawned some pretty ugly consumers. The word “entitlement” gets thrown around but it really does feel like this is one of those awful things that is cross-generational problem.

I can see why they would feel frustrating. As a player, do you feel like the devs told you the primary goals of the rebalance or anything to help players transition?

so you are then defending the people who came in and was negative about the changes? why is it ok for them to be negative but not the creators?

Thanks...I just coughed up my soda...

There’s something to be said about loading up a game and having 99% confidence that it’ll work because it’s a closed ecosystem.

There is definitely room for improvement, so let me suggest an example of how the apology could have been re-written, with intent to apologize for the actual wrongdoing.

I’m about 1 hour into the gameplay, but now I’m wondering whether certain gameplay experiences are “design conventions of Squeenix games” ... and I’m curious if these design decisions are common... and…

That’s a lot of words to say “wife left because I am me”...

This reminds me of that South Park episode where the Jonas Brothers decide they’re done wearing purity rings and Mickey has to deliver a message personally....

Adapt, overcome... maybe hate everything.

I finally managed to get all of the achievements and the journey felt personally rewarding. I spent the first 1/2 of my time feeling very relaxed... and the last half feeling very challenged. Overall a good experience and would easily buy DLC.

It really is counter-intuitive, and only makes sense when invulnerable i-frame windows are understand.

I’m so spoiled by other games that I was dodge rolling INTO attacks.

You nailed it.
