I'm a more classic Final Fantasy fan myself, I must admit. And prefer the far more high fantasy and steampunk influenced Final Fantasy games than the science fiction ones. To me, Fantasy is where Final Fantasy gets it's real charm. I don't dislike the other, more futuristic Final Fantasy games, like Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy X, and so forth. But I'm glad . And I like representing my better memories. I love being able to represent how I love places and being able to say I was from a place like Mysidia, that has some of the strongest positive memories for me, would be amazing. Also, it wouldn't bother me so much if Final Fantasy XIV was a game with a setting more like Final Fantasy XIII, but it's clearly more along the line of the classical vein. So it just doesn't seem fitting to pull something from the other type of Final Fantasy in a world that greatly resembles classic Final Fantasy backdrops and surroundings, and Ivalice.
The Besaid thing isn't bothering me as much now, mostly because I haven't been thinking about it as much, and of course because it's be several days since I first discovered the news. It's a lot easier for me to think about it if I envision Besaid as some pirate ship beside the port of Limsa-Lominsa. And no some horrible situation where someone is like "so, you like Besaid and Final Fantasy X, I just though Final Fantasy X was great and Yuna is so pretty and blahblahblahblah". Ugh, I brought the cringeworthy thoughts back. My mind is in pain now, the cringe, oh the painful cringe, I'm going to force myself to go back to thoughts of Faris on a Pirate Ship and the Prima Vista.
Interestingly, we got back on this topic all over again.
