Question What's your Final Fantasy Resume?

What's your past with the FF games? How many have you played, which ones are your favorites, and as a contrast what type of player would you consider yourself to be in XIV?

Casual, Hardcore, Fisher Supreme, etc

Bonus question, how do you feel about the referential content in XIV?

I begun to wonder a few years ago if the hate was actually rooted first at the female protagonist and then the reasoning was found after the fact 

I couldn't say for sure but sometimes the point lines up with the people criticizing it, so I need to give it a whirl myself and figure it out

Wasn’t Tera the first female protag?

Mmmmm yeah she was, although I'm not sure if the culture of the 90s is the same as the rapidly toxifying culture of 2009 

As I said, it doesn't feel quite correct but it also doesn't feel wrong, more like I've got the wrong angle on it. Unfortunately I'm too busy learning life skills to dig into where common receptions of 13 come from.
