I've been playing this game for a while now, and just found out about the forums. The ff14 subreddit is not to my taste. I can't find much good information about this game there, so I was curious about other options.
I was casually browsing through the most active forum (General Discussion, apparently) today to get a sense of its culture and frankly, I'm flabbergasted. A thread on Mordion Gaol turned into a debate on cancel culture. There are numerous posts on botting (why??) for some weird reason. And people are just derailing the thread on how Vieras still don't have headgear. It just became a thread of people flinging passive aggressive insults for 16 pages. Meanwhile the thread about Ultimate (sounds like some hardcore content) is 50 (jesus christ) pages of people fighting. There is maybe one legitimate argument every 20 posts in that thread.
Is this what the forums are usually like? Because if so I might just go back on the subreddit, as overflown with fanart as that sub is. At least it's relatively drama-free there.
Edit: Can't reply to everyone unfortunately since there's apparently a 20-post limit? Thanks for the discussion and tips though!
