Thread Closed
I respectfully disagree, Kage. I've said this before but all too often someone will make a thread such as this to claim that they're interested in feedback or ideas but in reality they're only really fishing for specific responses that align with exactly what it is that they want to get out of the conversation.
That is why I pointed out the rather dubious nature of the the discussion as a whole - and as expected it has simply devolved into something that isn't particularly constructive. Perhaps the creator of the thread has simply struggled to express themselves correctly but when people are giving thoughtful feedback it tends to rub them the wrong way when their responses are brushed off with dismissive one liners.
If you go back and read through the thread you'll also see that I pointed out multiple ways in which a 'vampire' could be portrayed within FFXIV without specifically being portrayed as or referred to as the stereotypical vampire. Many other posters did the same thing - so I doubt very much that this is a case of people misunderstanding the OP's intentions, especially given their recent hostile/dismissive replies.
