I hate this garbage so so so sooooo much. It yanks me right out of the game. I literally can’t feel immersed in this new ChOsEn OnE garbage (unless it’s old content or 4AM, aka the zone’s deserted) because we are so obviously the millionth chosen one out of a crowd of chosen ones.
It’s a MMO. Single player narratives clash with the very fundamentals of the genre. FFXIV handles it a thousand times better and it’s still jarring there.
