It's a personal preference, sure, and it happens to be a generally popular one. Companies, ultimately, do have to sacrifice some artistic tastes when they have 'can we sell tons of this' in mind. Especially since, by rights, this game was nearly canceled. Roegadames and Highlander women didn't even exist in 1.0. And it's a little hurtful to say that anyone who has a particular taste is 'basic' just because it's popular and sells well.
Don't be hurt by what is essentially politics, it's all impassionate!
It's relative to the standards I see of Square Enix. FFXIV is a very lore-heavy world, and I love it for the attention to detail and lengths they go to in making it a 'real fantasy', and not some whimsy 'plane of the gods' where anything is justifiable. Seeing them cave in like this disappointing.
