>7.3>only 30% of gear has received the promised graphical update and extra dye channel >no updates for jobs receiving older ultimate weapons despite them promising >lagging very far behind with crafted trial weapon being craftable, which used to be at least once a patchWhat's going on with XIV?
>>719487192Generals belong on /vg/
We were told before it ever went out it was gonna be a slow and gradual thing, and stuff like Ultimate retroactive weapons were a "when we get to them" thing.For the record I'm still pissed we don't have gunblades for prior primals and EX trials (I desperately want a Seiryu gunblade) but I'm not expecting it to ever actually happen at this point.

Do all the Criterion Savages while you have the time, they were interesting and the weapons are coolThe Dancer ones are great and Samurai is next>>719487192It's been 80 years and we still have PS3 tier pixel textures on old gear that would be great for glamour, it's quite ridiculous that all they do is relic gear every patch for texture updatesI also want my UWU Scythe, the FRU one is weird and the DSR one is orange like an orange popsicle and doesn't match every glam
>>719488536I did the first one and it sucked, you lying ass.
>>719488536WHY are your PANTS not GREEN
>>719488637Really? The first one is probably the weakest but I still thought it was fun by the endRokkon is consistently hectic and Alo is a total mind bender for 2/3 bosses>>719488658I thought this looked coolerI might use the tome pants eventually, but I'm buying other stuff with them
why does japan call him 10 yen yoshida?
>>719487192XIV is experiencing a long overdue identity crisis, so everything is shaky. They've almost successfully ironed out the troublesome part of MMOs, that being interacting with other human beings, and they've almost achieved a single player Massively Multiplayer game. No one knows why they wanted to invent this, but they're so close to finishing it.
>>719489114Having to fight through the first two bosses repeatedly to learn the stupid laser patterns of the third one was atrocious. The puffball gimmick was cute but the 2nd boss was completely uninteresting
>>719487724No one was expecting the whole gear catalog completed at this point, but it's still substantially less than assumed even with how slow the team is.
>>719489525I assumed it'd be pretty damn slow just from them saying they'd roll it out over patches, personally, that's at minimum a two-year wait.
>>719489310The children have yearned for a singleplayer VN with multiplayer elements ever since MMOs became a thing, because other people are annoying fucking assholes who want to gank you or steal your gear and gold and tell you you weren't skilled when they do it
>>719488536Aloalo savage sucks so much dick because it all comes down to if someone does Statice chains right or not
>>719489338They picked up on the other ones bosses, the second boss definitely is a weak point in the first one>>719489658Yeah my raid friends memed that when we were progging in the normal Criterion a bit and only messed it up once in SavageI think Rotation Lala is scarier than Statice personally
>>719487192Don't forget the whole TWO DYE CHANNELS scam they sold as some huge improvement they pulled off, but in reality half the fucking gear has a completely useless 2nd channel that might as well not exist
>>719487192I just wish that they started to actually care for race details on gear again. Every headpiece gear in ARR and HW had differences for the Mi'Qote's ears, the hats had ear holes for the ears to go through, and various chest pieces had different details for the tails. Nowadays every hat just deletes your ears and even more egregious are the chest pieces that deletes your fucking tail. The tail thing happens with Au Ra too, it's pathetic.10 years ago they had the care and attention to do it, but now they don't anymore? Really makes you think about how they cared more in the past.
>>719487192>only 30% of gear has received the promised graphical updateIt's worse than that. The latest upgrades can barely even be called upgrades. It looks marginally better at best.
>>719490074I don't think it's that they don't care, it's more that yoship has turned the game's development into the most efficient and cost effective assembly line possible. You want to add some SOVL to the game? Sorry but that's not in the budget or timeline.
>>719490649>it's more that yoship has turned the game's development into the most efficient and cost effective assembly line possible.Yoshida's been bitching since before Dawntrail that they got too complacent and stagnant thoughbeitThis comes across as tone-deaf when we're in the middle of the promised raid shake-ups and, more importantly, raids getting easier at the same time as they get more frenetic-- the argument's pretty much always been that we can have hard raids or complex jobs and not both, so we're seeing that scale tip towards more complex jobs in the future, with Yoshida apparently being confident enough in what they're doing with jobs in the future that he's being slick about it in interviews (recent ones, not Media Tour era ones where he first promised extra attention on jobs in 8.0)
I unironically prefer all of the ghetto PS3 shit over post-5.2 gear where everything has that nasty grainy film over it.
>>719490840>Yoshida's been bitching since before Dawntrail that they got too complacent and stagnant thoughbeitAnd he's right. xiv expansions have become paint-by-numbers and exercises in how many assets can they flip.
>>719491184Yes he is right, which is why Dawntrail started doing much less in the paint-by-numbers department
Just give me a brand new FF MMO for XIX
>>719491361>I want XIV 1.0 to happen again
>>719491394I'd hope CBU3 would know to at least start at ARR-level if a new MMO is made
>>719491519No not that part, the "start another MMO while the previous one is alive and still earning money" part
>>719491361>XIV dying>Rebirth underperforming>XVI flopped>E33 blows upTurn based is back baby.
>>719491223It's not enough, though I guess to be fair it's not like he could do more. It's pretty obvious SE has the xiv team staved for people and budget.
>>719491671It's not that SE purposefully has them starved, they just have a pretty strict list of requirements for new staff>You live in Tokyo, or are willing to move there (like Kate and Koji, the latter of whom's been there since FFXI where he was English localizer)>You speak and write fluent Japanese>You are willing to tangle ass with the game's engine>You have MMO development experience already, probably the hardest requirement of any of theseQuite probably FFXIV is the most cutting edge and well staffed MMO developed in Japan right now and they're running on day-old pizza and a skeleton crew
>>719491519If 1.0 started at 1.18 with the jobs patch it would have at least got a lot of FFXI people to stick around as a niche MMO. Certainly would have never achieved the population heights this WoW-like game did, but would have carved out a place to exist, which for me is enough. There needs to be a new MMO or an XI remake because XIV's infrastructure is too catered to the single player experience to ever pull out of that tailspin. World travel was a mistake, having a server community is important, duty finder was a mistake for similar reasons, it's never not going to be a single player MMO.
>>719491854>Quite probably FFXIV is the most cutting edge and well staffed MMO developed in Japan right nowThat's not saying a whole lot tho.
>>719491949That's the point, yes

>>719490372If you ever looked closely at the ARR artifact gear upgrades, some of them are fucking nonsense. You remember how there's the i50 and i90 versions of each set? Some of the i50 versions have higher poly pieces while the same segments on i90 versions are still low poly, or vice-a-versa. Some areas also have updated materials on one version of the gear, while the other version still has the old materials. Go compare them and look very closely.
>>719491048What are you referring to
>>719488130this is true, i looked inside the thread once and was like what the fuck, its all trannies posting their ugly (non-lalafell) characters, the only posts that may even come close to an actual discussion are on /v/
>>719490840>Yoshida apparently being confident enough in what they're doing with jobs in the future that he's being slick about it in interviewsWhat you're referring to here is Yoshida saying "we have things planned!"

>>719494429I'd rather it be a DoL job that gives you extra enemy mats than limited job
>>719494706calm down time
>>719494692Dungeons being used as a metric of content quantity is weird when they were always Expert roulette filler. I miss the side-story element of them much more than I miss the actual dungeons.
>>719494812Describe in what way you believe the game is bigger, you mealy mouthed worm.
>>719495001You fight and throw insults like a girl.
It's so weird how modders do more for this game than actual game devs. I really hope in 8.0 they bring back job flavor.
>>719495713Very clumsy dodge there.
>>719495787At my absolute most optimistic, Viper being considered to have stances internally (handles dual-sword and twinblade animation sets and skills as stances) is a good sign, alongside Pictomancer's RGB/CMY differentiation being functionally a stance.
>>719494706>>719495001>>719495965proxy dead, dumpy?
>>719496217You okay there?
The best change they've made in years is allowing Phoenix Downs to actually be used in normal stuff so that the retard tank can't hold everyone hostage for fifteen minutes while they solo the boss.
>>719495787LOL if you think 8.0 will do anything radical for jobs.
>>719496634It's still too limited, PD should be usable in all content. Full stop.
>>719496952so true sister *eats shit to autos actually being dangerous again in EX trials and savage* *complains about the devs being incompetent on the OF*
>>719496046well, you are completely delusional.
>>719497030Yes I am completely delusional discussing the backend work done on current jobs that could imply future job direction or job uniquity. Instead I'll join the Yoshida death cult and complain the game is bad forever and there is no possibility of improvement for the sixth straight year.
>>719497023Boss autos haven't been dangerous since SB and that's being generous.
>>719496634or cast auto life on yourself on a 2hr cdit'd be too convenient to have your whole raid stacking piles of them like gophers
>>719497240you may as well say you haven't raided at all since stormblood if you're going to self-report like this
>>719497121Calm down kid.
>>719497260I do like the idea of having convenience items like that for casual content. Kind of like your Eureka/Bozja items or actions.

>>719487192Dead troonsloppa.
>>719496046That is optimistic but for some reason I have a feeling they're going to just rework most classes to play like VPR/PCT. By play I mean if you're using an aoe spell you'll be able to branch it into your 123.
>>719497658Brave Yoshida. He probably nearly cried doing this.
>>719497121There's two ideas I had that I think could be done for the whole job/battle design as a whole. I'll spare long explanation cause I'm hungry for dinner.One is making offensive buffs additive instead of multiplicative. And the other is letting PvE ability/trait customization applicable only to content not Ultimates or the current Savage (basically current raiding has a specific "normal" build to keep it an even playing field, while all other content just allows for customization fun).

8,0 is their last chance. If that comes and it sucks the game will truly die, and it will be deserved.
>>719500130>Wuk is described as the adventurous type, but she never stepped foot outside the city>wants to help her people but doesn't know shit about any of them, even though she is the princess>Zoraal Ja poses no danger to Eorzea whatsoever before he discovers Alexandria and electrope, and even after that the game clearly shows us a single dragon is enough to wreck his shit>Koana's whole arc is resolved in a patch quest about bisons
Wuk would've been better as an antagonist turned deuteragonist. Power hungry, vain, and maybe a little bit dumb.
>>>/vg/
>>719500284what is that, blue protocol reboot?
>>719502136Literally nothing in this entire expansion has posed even a modicum of threat to the WoL. I was cracking up during 7.3 when everyone else during the Necron cutscene was like "OOOOOH GOD THE FEAR OF DEATH IS GRIPPING MY SOUL" and the WoL was just standing there looking mildly annoyed.
>>719502236I've never played DT btwStill holding out for that retcon.
>>719502315Well ya nothing is really a thread to us and this was just a vacation for us
She should have been a red herring protagonist who goes full antagonist who we put down. Imagine>our campaign starts off promising >she gets kidnapped>she loses her succession gems>we pick her back up >she keeps failing worse and worse and just snaps >her other brother(s) have their redemption moment and step up as better rulers >she goes full melty and we have to put an end to her madnessThat would be much more interesting than everyone looking for excuses and bending over backwards to justify her inability
>>719487192I think that it's kinda lame that summoners are stuck with ARR primals and Lunar BahamutEvery class should have some basic alternative skills, and Summoners specially should be able to replace their primals with ones from later expansions. More sidegrade than upgrade.Give Dragoons Shinryu based shit, WHM have more shit that look like stuff the First's Lightwardens use, Picto gets to choose their scribbles, shit like that.
>>719502451>what if she was zoraal ja instead and zoraal ja was wuk lamatthis is the power..... of the dawntrail rewriters' imagination.......
>>719502449>ghost of Emet brought up the New World and the Golden City >WoL decides to vacation to Tural to see this>gets dragged into a stupid succession crisis and forced to adventure with the stupid big catHe got the last laugh on us.
>>719493812I was doing the WAR quests and I still don't get why they decided to give me two sets that are pretty much the same thing one after the otherAnd none of them dye in the specific way I want
>>719493223I'm considering reinstalling and resubbing just to spend a month or two gposing my stupid onahole lala such
>>719502565Yeah, I'm better and my ideas supersede cumstain kate's. Everyone knows this.
>>719501273A bit dry recently and Japs tend to not tag their shit>>719502687Share results if you do
>>719502619Originally you only got the lower level one. The i90 set was tomestone gear.
>>719496634I never got why Phoenix Down was a thing when there's no real downside from dying in the overworld and it couldn't be used on instanced shit. Genuinely wasting a whole inventory slot for some niche uses that casuals might not actually care about
>>719502784Same reason HW's artifact armor sets are weird too and you have to really go out of your way with hunt marks to get another set if you throw away your freebie from lv. 60 quests for any reason, HW artifacts were also tomestone gear
>>719502805Some weird relic of ARR that they're only just now loosening up onThe way it's designed suggests it'd be a rare thing to have and overworld content was going to have more importance, then HW came out and Palace shits them at you and Diadem/Eureka/Bozja end up being more of an actual use-case for them because the whole foray concept pretty much absorbed any need for MSQ zones to have more shit to do in them than FATE trains and gathering nodes
>>719502784>>719502861Some of the decisions this dev team makes always baffle meLike artifact armor being undyeable pre endwalker unless you did a different degree of weirdly specific stuff to get the dyeable versions
>>719502994The biggest betrayal was no "matte" dyeable version of Stormblood artifact armor weapons until literally NOW with 7.3 adding dye channels to the default weapons before the Anemos upgrade step. I've wanted dyeable Ryunohige without an ugly glow from Ryunohige Anemos for most of my playtime.
>The winterersWe're going back to the far east to the Blindfrost, Dalmasca, Golmore Jungle, and Mercydia.
>>719502994That’s not weird. It was too incentive people to engage in content in between patches and expansions. Having to grind to EARN the coolest looking gear is hardly an out of fate concept
>>719500221This made me laugh ty
>>719503129Frozen North expansion more likely
>>719502449That's one of the main problems the current MSQ has at the moment, in my opinion. There are basically no high stakes: the WoL is invincible, or always accompanied by the right person at the right time; can summon six other powerful warriors whenever necessary; found Azem's interdimensional key and will probably be the first one to unlock it and use it, since it's tied to the crystal.What happened in Tural had zero repercussions over Eorzea, except maybe Sphene having to introduce her super advanced kingdom to the rest of the city states (but that's framed as a good thing for now). Calyx is a hologram, and we just have to destroy his memory core once to get rid of him forever. It seems he can only manipulate electrope and Alexandria's technology, anyway, so I doubt he will pop up in Meracydia or in the north or in another shard. The sundered Ascians are back, but why should they be a problem, if we managed to kill their Unsundered bosses, destroy their god, and the very embodiment of despair that ruined their civilization?
>>719503965now that you're superman your job is to keep the little people safe more than worry about yourself and your personal stakes^ has been like this since becoming a primal slayer in ARR, didn't change until a shift to personal focus in shadowbringers
>>719502606What other bullshit will Emet's checklist drag us into I wonder
>>719503129We're not going to Meracydia in 8.0. YoshiP said in a recent interview "he'll know when it's time for Meracydia", implying it aint next.
>>719500953There will be OC steps, but the method for getting the stuff outside the foray will be 10x easier as usual
>>719504261A shard hop for 8,0 seems obvious as fuck, the only hanging plot thread right now is the sippy cup and whatever bullshit the notAscians are cooking up.
>>719504042In the previous expansions you weren't a superman, though. In ARR we were framed for murder, in HW we had to be sheltered in a country ravaged by war, lost a dear companion, and barely managed to end said war after getting drugged once again. We weren't able to save another friend when we failed to stop Ilberd, we lost to Zenos causing a lot of people to die before we finally got our shit together. We had to build alliances in all directions in order to save Doma and Ala Mhigo both. In ShB the focus was more personal, like you said, and it looked like we were dooming the world with our very existence. In EW we stopped the Final Days through a collective effort, since the WoL alone couldn't understand how the Final Days operated, and only after that we became a superhuman, also due to Venat's mantra "Be their light to follow".
>>719503965>muh stakes!Faggot
>>719504515these are all fucking superman problems! you're not touchable martially so they get you politically or socially, zenos is the only real combat problem we'd had since learning to fight primals and you're still the spearhead of the ala mhigan resistance AND the doman resistance
>>719503965To my understanding, that is why the WoL took a backseat to Wuk Lamat for the majority of Dawntrail - essentially a storytelling conceit where we as a player understand that if we really wanted, we could mow down everyone involved and win the Rite of Succession. Turning the reins, so to speak, over to someone else and following them along to see what they do is to get around the issue of the WoL being the hugest, whilst still acknowledging through the story that the WoL is in fact the hugest.Whether that worked is another matter entirely, but it's this anon's understanding.
>>719504689think it worked fine and dawntrail's problems are less of how wuk lamat was handled and more how goddamned long winded the expansion is
We need another antagonist like Ilberd with strong convictions, willing to hurt those around you to get what he needs, and no sob boohoo backstory.
>>719504837We literally just got that in the current patch, anon. And Ilberd actually had a genuinely sad backstory.
>>719504837zoraal ja and calyx?
>>719504904The problem with Zoraal Ja is that he's such an incomprehensible retard that nothing he does is even interesting.
>>719505124he's a rabid pit-bull and not an intellectual thread
>>719504901>>719504904Calyx is a little bitch 30 IQ loser who thinks his fear of death makes him 500IQ. Even worse is the fact rhe writing tries to make jos motives mysterious when it's the most blatant thing possible. Zoraal had potential but he's still a dumbass and ultimately did it all because daddy issues and expectations.
