Been playing some FFXIV and shadowbringers seems to be the best. Does it get worse after this?
That's a boy
>>745771434I haven't played in years but the game's peak was when Ishikawa Natsuko was the main writer for three expansions.
Endwalker has a couple high points but a lot of meh. Dawntrail is endless tedium that sometimes is almost about to be something fun and then the true main character of the expansion arrives to smother it in the crib. I haven't even looked into what they want to do with the next one.
oh sure you havewhat's with the amount of XIV threads with OBVIOUSLY not new OPs? why can't they ever be organic
Fuck off.>>>/vg/
Very.
Shadowbringers was already the beginning of the end, although you could argue it started as early as Stormblood but they went full mask-off in Shadowbringers.
>>745775286janny apps are closed sorry fag
>>745771434>shadowbringers seems to be the bestAh yes, I do love curing tempering with flying pigs.
>>745775386Can you point out what you DID like? Were you a big fan of Heavensward or something? The big bad dragon just being mad or the pope just being corrupt? Or were you fond of the one-dimensional guys in black garb?
>>745775640>Can you point out what you DID like?I will not
>>745775776Interesting.
>>745771434need one like this(male or female)
>>745771434>using that imagestop lying
>>745775469Do not ever reply to me subhuman.
>>745775592>hey remember that WoD shit that was neatly wrapped up with a bow two expansions ago? What if it didn't matter and you get to be the savior of their world???>hey remember Thancred's depression arc about letting Minfilia go two expansions ago? What if we just literally redid that again because we have no idea what to do with him still????>hey remember Crystal Tower?SHB was some hack shit if we're being honest, and this was on release. It got much worse as the patches went on like you said.
>>745775386>dude the best part of ff14 was actually the worst partshut the fuck up retarded cynical fag
>>745775640I liked that Ravana guy, I liked the Susanoo fight or whatever his name is. I kinda liked having a fistfight with zenos.
>>745775883>Hey, remember how I went back in time to stop the event that made me go back in time in the first place? Yeah, well, I guess it all worked out in the end with nothing to worry about because uhh.. timey wimey I guess!
>>745775884No one said anything about raiding Coils in 2.3 though. Why are you so defensive?
>>745771434Heavensward was the first and last good expansion.
>>745775883oioioioi i'm a bri'ish rat boy and you woll feel sad for me innit
>>745771434>aislopkys
Actually every expansion except Dawntrail was shit.
>>745776029>get to Elpis>"Oh no, there's going to be an Emet cameo, isn't there?">literally the first cutscene EW was already struggling to maintain my attention before Zodiark and I had already done my best to remain focused through talking bunnies immediately derailing anything interesting, only to somewhat gain interest seeing the final days. But that, Elpis, that made me check out entirely.
i want shadowbringers, but for real
>>745776302Actually it stopped being good after Heavensward.
What a curious picture to use (again) while implying you're relatively new. Fuck off, retard.
>>745776126Ummmmmm but my parasocial raider streamer friend who is a big fan of Wuk Lamat and raids ultimates said Heavensward was bad??? Um, why are you saying its good if a raider says its bad then its bad. Full stop.>>745776302EW took more of an L than a W because it lost the player spike within the same expansion, all the prior ones maintained player levels above the prior expansion but EW ended on SHB numbers.
>>745776220weak gaslighting
I want to switch places with the warrior of darkness. i know it's there, even without them saying it.
Vanilla XIV server when?
>>745776126mechanically, maybeplot wise it was generic jrpg plot that was only somewhat memorable because it was coming off a snooze reborn, and even then only 3.3 was goodmaehiro did something without those crutches (ffxvi) and no one liked it
>filtered by lopporit kinoStick to kiddo franchises like baldurs gate and Witcher lmao. It’s about your speed
>>745776483it also had basically no content and most of the content it had was bad
>>745776449It's in the Switch 2 version, king. Get their asses, I know Yoshida is hiding the real Shadowbringers from us.
>Do not avert your eyes from the truth. The world is full of suffering, and we must face it head on in order to become stronger. Living in denial and surrounding yourself with comforts that you hide in whenever things get stressful will only destroy you.>WAIT SOMETHING BAD ALMOST HAPPENED BRING IN THE HECKIN GOOD BOI (they/them) CHONKERS THE PLAYERS ARE STRESSING OUT!!!!Greatest story of all time!
>>745776495>reddit gate and twittercherMiss me with that shit lil gup. Lopporits are GAPED by Dragon Quest.
>>745776483Generic JRPG plot was what people wanted from Final Fantasy for almost 20 years at that point, which is why it was so well received. We had just come off of the decade of Lightning.
reminder you're playing a monthly fee for half a game.the Warrior of Darkness and Warrior of Light are opposites. Shadowbringers is just the tutorial level. We want the real thing.>BECOME WHAT YOU MUST>BECOME A WARRIOR OF DARKNESS>745776531the real shadowbringers is likely called 'lightbringers' in the other world, but i am probably wrong
Now that the dust has settled, I think everyone owes Stormblood an apology.
>>745776528>no content>look inside>3x more dungeons that were designed for 4 people (players) and not dumbed down for AI at the time>interacting with other players in a massive zone>roguelike dungeoncrawler>one bad alliance raid and two amazing alliance raids that remained so iconic elements were borrowed for future contentThere is no end to the LARP from HW haters. You'd think they sub to an MMO to not interact with anyone.
>>745776726>I think everyone owes Stormblood an apology.remember when i melded STR onto redmage in stormblood, then they patched that out?
You don't play the game
>>745776759You had more dungeons because that was literally the only content you got to do until midway through the expansion and they introduced deep dungeons (that thing you call slop now to be contrarian).>DiademLol lmao.
>>745776726I don't have to apologize because I never doubted SB. Best expansion, you had to be there.
Theorycraft what the expansions are called in the Warrior of Darkness version of ff14 (pic related)>1.0 is still 1.0, lol>A Realm Unborn>Hellsward>what's the opposite of Stormblood?>Lightbringers>what's the opposite of Endwalker??>Dusktrail
>>745776904>IS THAT...ANOTHER PLAYER????>A REAL HUMAN BEAN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCREEN?????>AAAIIIEEEEEEEEEEE HELP ME YOSHIDA I DON'T WANNA INTERACT WITH A REAL PERSON WHERE ARE THE HECKIN COMFY VALIDCORE NPCS???
>HW releases a new tank, a new healer, a new damager, and both models of a new race at the same timeHow did we fall so far?
>>745777020>starts sperging out over something unrelated that he made up to make himself go loony aboutWow!
>>745771434Shadow niggas was so good they repeated the story for the next expansion.
WE FALL
>>745776981nora what's your opinion on 1.0?
>>745776759>dungeons>deep dungeon (3.3)>raids>trialsHere's your content for the expansion buddy boy.
New sprout here, been playing some FFXIV and shadowbringers seems to be the best. Does kategolbezarmormotivationlalacord get worse after this?
>new xiv thread made when the previous on got close to limitThis is a general trannybros....
>>745777053XIV became a cashgrab in the years after, Yoshida knows they don't have to try anymore and the players automate the game for themselves anyways.>>745777058Go back to idling in Balmung with your raperod fuckflanks or whatever, lil bro. The big dogs are talking about when the game used to be an MMO.
You can really tell we took in some of those wowfags who kept playing wow for 10 years straight while bitching about it at every turn.
>>7457771631.0 is based.i have my opinion about the Cartaneu Plains. Let me redpill you.In FF14's FINAL DAY, there was an event that happened where somewhere out in the world, an epic war was talking place against Gaius at the Cartaneu Plains.We could see server text updating us on the status of the war. This would lead up to the final hour of ff14, when the Answers trailer was revealed.MY OPINION on this event, is that there was a way to WIN the war and save Eorzea, but it was tied to the parallel dimension that nobody outside of Japan even knew about at the time.What would ff14 look like TODAY if we won that war at the cartaneu plains and defeated Gaius? Naoki Yoshida HIMSELF theorycrafted what a bossfight against Bahamut might look like. It could have happened in 1.0, and we have no way of knowing now, because that's how MMO's work.
>>745777171Thanks! I sure hope the game doesn't turn into raidslop with everything being marketed to a non-existent player level called "midcore" or some other buzzword. All you need is dungeons, savage, and alliance.
>>745777278good job sis you sure owned the guy you were fighting in your headnow can you snap back to reality and engage with what's actually being said?
I want to come back for Evercold, but I haven't even finished Endwalker, and knowing what's coming in Dawntrail has killed any interested in doing so.
>>745777413The reality is HW was a better expansion than Endwalker. You're the one fighting it.
>>745777364smells like cut content to me
>>745777427Then don't come back. Simple as that. It's a video game, not a way of life.
>>745771434ye it gets worse.i mean endwalker was worst thing because while i raided this new savage raids in february started war. though, i think this is not only reason, endwalker content was underwhelming.
>>745777427It's not worth it, dude. No matter how much Yoshida dresses up the game being improved, it's actually always dumbed down or barely changed. They haven't even revealed the writer for the expansion, so it's confirmed not Ishikawa (not that she can be trusted after EW but good publicity is still good publicity as her name still holds weight in the XIV community). Just finish EW and pretend the games ends at 6.0, don't bother with the patches because it goes straight into dogshit right from the rip.
>>745777490Nah, HW was among the worst content expansions alongside EW.
>>745777629Whatever helps you sleep at night. I hope you get the help you need someday.
>>745777756Not that I need a sleep aid, but knowing I'm right isn't a demerit, I guess.
When does Dark Knight as a class get fun? I'm level 65.
bozja wad dogshit
>>745777797If you knew, then you wouldn't guess. Food for thought, not that you think.
>>745777880Better than Diadem.
>>745777876Travel back in time to 2015.
I hope Evercold has another character that sets spergs off and causes them to scream that the game is dead for 2 more years. Maybe this time they'll stay go forever.
>>745777880Better than North/South Horn
>>745777876You have to time travel back to HW to have fun with DRK. Sorry you missed out.>>745777880Eureka > Bozja > Diadem > poop from a butt > Occult Crescent
>>745777876before it got streamlined. your only hope is it functions good in the 1.0 side of the story. otherwise, all tanks got shafted.
>>745771434>alishithopefully benched in EC
>>745777876>XIV combat>funPick one
>>745778029>>745778013>>745777968Damn. How are the other tanks then? I thought DRK would be fun.
>hating on best girlcouldnt be me
>>745776726boring dogshit
>>745778013>Eureka > Bozja > Diadem > poop from a butt > Occult CrescentPure contrarianism.
>>745778143Offmodel shit art. alisaie is trash
>>745778143>85 posts for the second Alisaie post
>>745778237your opinion is worth shit, tourist
>>745778090They're also unfun.
calyx getting killed off off in 7.56 so we can focus on new characters.Finally.
>>745778416Dang. Well, I'll keep trying out tanks anyway just because I'm tired of DPSing.
>>745778208No that's actually the coldest take on earth. An Evercold take, if you will. Contrarian would be saying Diadem and Occult Crescent are better than Bozja and Eureka.
>>745778439>listed as a major character for Evercold in BerlinHe's kino.
>>745777876You have to teleport to an area called the 'Wolves' Den Pier' to unlock the real class and get all the fun abilities. It reverts back to boring garbage when you leave or queue for pve content, I'm really not sure why, I think it's a bug.
>>745778090>he actually listens to the terminally resentful trannies on /v/
>>745778439People just be making shit up for no reason.
>>745778537Who said he was listening to you?
>>745778439Calyx hate is so forced it's insane.
>being an off tank. Sissy tanks.
>>745778537DRK being boring shit is something even the game's biggest deepthroaters can agree on. It's a powerful job, it's not a fun job.
>>745778720pig
>>745778709In general, people in here will always say everything about the game is shit. /v/ is massively tsundere about 14.
>>745778825Yeah. She's my pig. So what?
>>745778925awful taste
