a real ff fan lets others enjoy the franchise without being gatekeepers.

Big true, don't let yourself be put down by anybody.

Chances are their life a so miserable they feel the need to validate themself to the detriment of others.

They play an MMO. Of course they are miserable. I've never met a happy mmo player who life's the game.

And I say that as someone who played WoW for 6 years. Worst 5.5 years of my life. It was only bearable due to friends. And as they left, it got progressively worse.

I mean, we should just let people enjoy playing what they like to play without resorting to gatekeeping or, in your case, calling them miserable. I'm sorry your experience with WoW was like this, but I genuinely love playing XIV (as well as other FF's) and I'm a pretty happy person, more or less.

This is nothing as far as gatekeeping goes. I still don't think I've seen any community with more gatekeeping than metalheads.

You're right about metalheads, but the comic book fandom comes really close.

Plus those two fandoms have a ton of overlap.
