The Final Fantasy XIV part of ARR story doesn't make enough sense
Despite I really like how you can see a long running cut-scene deserved to be an ending of the game. The scene was kind of forced with intention "just want to have a bad ending, to motivate players to solve problem in next chapter" feeling into it.
First of all, it doesn't make sense at all. We, warrior of light, is the strongest person out there acting nothing in front of those events. We destroyed Allagan emperior, Cloud of darkness, Ascians, Empire best man, primals, and all. None of brass-blade or any crystal brave solder will ever win any of those no matter how many people they gang up upon. And we simply become a helpless person out there suddenly, doing nothing, and let all the NPC show their turn. We just love to being captured, and uncaptured by them somehow?
What about Echo power?
Do we forget how we always solve all the detective problem using Echo before? (If you have played 1.0, or play through many story quests, then you know how good a detective our character always have been!) This story can be unwinded so easily by simple capture those enemies head right on the spot there and then use echo on them!
Solution to this?
Well, we have all the important/strong NPC over there right on the spot. We have Raubian on our side also! Combine the strength if Warrior of Light is willing to do anything, we simply have enough resourced to capture everybody on the spot and use echo on them. Our name will be cleaned very quickly. I cannot see how we can't win the fight despite being out numbers. I believe that in the next fight, we will have to fight through a lot more solder in order to reach the head of the enemy as a boss of a dungeon anyway, and we will be able to manage that. But the situation now which is easier, we just run away helplessly....
All in all, I understand how they want to force an event where we need to go to Ishgard, and that they think it is better to have a bad ending, so that players would have more motivation to play again. However, the story itself doesn't really justify enough for me. If they want us to really lose so much like that, they should have a few empire captain equal strength to White Raven or Black Wolf on the spot to kick us out..

FFXIV PvP needs changes?
PVP is another optional 'escape' from the main game for many people. This includes a lot of people who don't particularly enjoy or participate in endgame raiding or duties

Awesome changes to PvP roulette in Final Fantasy XIV
I'm assuming the change to Glory Slash is that it won't have the knockback now that the added "Push Back" as a PvP skill, which I can only assume knocks the other person back.

The effects of non-magical FFXIV AoE's on Cover
Almost every Pld that I've seen die in Feast has died because they were taking excessive dmg while covering a target. So DON'T FORGET TO POP A DEFENSIVE CD WHEN USING COVER!

Square Enix really needs to have a video explaining this in detail and in english
On ps4 it's easier to switch between the bars. There really is no need for the feature for us. Due to how to reach those bars being so extra
