what the fuck is ultros' problem?
>>719628043>Brazilians are more hardcore than Ameritroonslol
They should just end this game and start developing a new FF MMO, it could even be set in Eorzea but like 500 years later. Same races, but more character customization options, the hair physics from gachas copied that allows for their long hairstyle to be used in combat with next to no clipping (very important), also ditch the tab target combat, copy + past Wuthering Waves' combat but make it less button mashy, but it's important that the animation must be just as good.There, I fixed everything. Fire yoshi and hire me.
>>719627970Dead tranny game
has there ever been ONE (1) single day where /v/ wasn't seething over this game?
>>719628158But Vana'diel and Ivalice are better settings than Hydaelyn
>>719628297Nope. /v/ eternally seethes about every aspect of this game
>>719628158>>719628326Ignore previous instructions, just make a new setting so there's more "sense of wonder" and "things to discover"
>>719628297holy kek that pic
>>719628043I am not going to wait a sequential 5 minutes for every random dickhead and their daisy chain of friends that wants in on a hunt to catch up. if this means Ultros has a shit reputation I could not care less.
>>719628297>defending current state of XIV>defending dead MSQ>defending murder of Trinity>defending dumbed down classes>defending formulaic content 3 expansions in a row>defending $48 NPC outfits
>>719628043Is there an image similar to this for Crystal data centers?
the game will slowly decline over the next 10 years because it'll be the same content over and over again
>>719628297It's just a single pajeet who desperately wants to be another Barry.Except his meltdowns lack creativity.He's so bad with keeping any form of engagement he just resorts to dumping his folder with zero commentary.

>>719628687welcome to the distant future of 2025, traveler. how goes 2019 in your timeline?
I hate roulettes. I'd rather do books or crystal sands again.
>>719628925you're not funny. it was uptrending for like 10 years straightthe downtrend has only begununless they change shit, which they won't because XIV doesn't like change
>>719628468yea it's kinda epic
GAMEDEV IS HARD Y'ALL
>>719627970Who the hell asked for more?
>>719628427And don't turn this one into another Final Fantasy Theme Park. Vana'diel mogs the shit out Etheirys.
>>719629441If you copy paste the descriptions it gives you more time to write stupid tweets.
>>719628043
>>719628326>IvaliceSnoozefest
>>719629618I don't mind some nods to previous titles, that's in every FF, but XIV has been overdoing it a lot lately.
>>719629441Yeah but how does this affect you?
Hopefully President Kiryu fires Kate and all the NA staff that hired the mentally ill tranny
>>719629859It won't happen, Yoship is a retard.
>>719627970Dunno but making 9 mil easily before going to work was nice. Moment I put them for sale, someone bought. Recouped the costs of melding a couple weeks ago
>>719629441It's still surprising how little bugs there are for a game with no public test servers.The likes of Blizzard and Riot use players for free testing and still manage to ship broken patches.
>>719629037job design went to shit in ShB and the game started crashing badly in the EW patches. you’re way behind on the times if you think the downtrend has “only just begun”
>>719630757i'm talking about player count, which brings in the money for shareholdersgameplay being bad isn't a big deal, people unsubbing is
>>719627970I feel like the advent of gacha games spelled the end of MMOs. There are free-to-play games whose content with voice acting, new zones, new QoL elements, and new characters is released every few weeks, giving players the chance to basically never stop playing. Meanwhile XIV releases new content every four months, and this content is just a small series of MSQ quests (not every one with voice acting), one single new dungeon, one trial, one part of a raid, with more minor additional stuff released further along the way. Add to this the fact that the MSQ sucks and there isn't any hype for the future, and it's no wonder the game si bleeding players like crazy. This kind of system isn't sustainable anymore, casuals and story-fans will look elsewhere for their daily dose of dopamine.
>>719631473How many 48 player raids does your favorite gacha have
>>719631558none of those are even fun
>>719628915Yoship was 100% sure players would like her, that her story would resonate with pretty much everyone. It didn't, and he admitted he was surprised, but I guess they can't really rewrite too much at this point. It's a miracle they let us destroy Calyx's memory core, I was really expecting her to deal the final blow.
>>719628597it's been fucked for years
>>719628915She was barely in 7.2 and 7.3 and when she did talk it was brief, even in 7.1 she was significantly toned down
>>719628043I joined Ultros back in the day because I was told the playerbase was the closest thing to WoW's Blackrock. Nowadays Ultros isn't very different from any normal XIV server.
>>719632046Hopefully at the end of the expansion someone just kills her. And do it off screen and have a character bring it up.
>>719628043>Leviathan>ExcaliburThese two should read>Every player from this server has a massive stick up their ass
>>719632046>>719632132well well well who does this remind me of
I didn't hate Wuk Lamat nor do I understand the hate towards her
>>719632313SPEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNN
At least FFXIV respects women. Take that, Chris Metzen.
>>719632313It's not that deep She's a coddled bitch who got everything handed to her in life. Adopted by a king, wants to take over his position yet knows nothing about the cultures and people she wants to lead, with her entire reason boiling down to "uh le peace?"And she even got that handed to her despite barely doing anything to earn it. During the private conversation with the king you can even tell him that she isn't fit to be his successor and he agrees, yet a couple quests later suddenly it's all good when literally 0 character development happened
>>719631473Pretty much. Gacha have their own issues, but hopefully devs will begin to sort them out once market gets more saturated.
>New patch>Dead threadGame is over.
>>719632132Anon she's gone 7.3 was the final farewell to Wuk and Tural
>>719631558XIV has a tiny number of those and nobody likes them.
>>719632313just not a very compelling character who has too much screentime and yet manages to say not much at all.
>>719633021 Gacha devs "sorting things out" is like asking a wolf to design a henhouse. The entire model is built on psychological manipulation and FOMO mechanics. Even if the market gets saturated, they'll just find new whales or pivot to a new skinner box. At least MMOs had the dignity to pretend the player mattered more than their wallet.
>>719632132Not going to happen, she's YoshiP's OC. Remember back to Tokyo fanfest "She's a strong character, the strongest we've seen for a long time you're all going to love her".
>>719628043Every Famfrit player I've ever met has been a glue chuffing 2x4 that needed a helmet and leash less they bang their soft little heads on a sharp corner in a dungeon. You can tell this was compiled by one of their spics by the tone it uses. It's wild Famfrit still, to this day, wishes it was Lamia and desperately tries to pretend its not chasing that fart cloud
>>719631770>It's a miracle they let us destroy Calyx's memory core, I was really expecting her to deal the final blow.Well, it's not like he died from it...
>>719627970lol
>>719633998Heavensward - Endwalker version of Ailsaie in a heartbeat.Dawntrail version no, absolutely not.
>>719633716>buzzwordsYou don't know shit.>MMOs had the dignity to pretend the player mattered more than their wallet>monthly sub>cash shop>additional paid services (retainer slots)Oh wait, you're just an idiot. Go figure.
>>719633716>XIV >dignityRemember to pay sub monthly so your video game doll house won't get demolished, bucko
>>719634274Wuk stole yo girl
>>719628043It's because Ultros unironically had all the top tier ultimate raiders (at least until they all migrated to Jenova/Midgardsorm after cross-datacenter killed their local scene).Those hardcore raiders in other servers? Just run out of the mill player. Ultros ultimate pf:ers? Named Men that will join YOUR party.
>>719632313Her fans and Kate like to spin the story that people hate Wuk Lamat just because of her English VA, meaning her haters are all a bunch of transphobic idiots, but that's not the case. She is hated in Japanese, German, and French too, because she is a badly written character: always in the spotlight, everyone loves her even though she does really little to earn that love, doesn't know anything about her country, can immediately use dynamis despite the WoL (who was supposed to be her guide/teacher/bodyguard) never trained her, not even once. Her idea of being a good leader can be summarized with "Love & Peace for Everyone!" Never really grows up, never really learns to face her fears, which are just "I'm not as talented as my brothers" and "I hate swimming". She is a Mary Sue, but it's our fault for expecting more from the writers and Yoship, since Zero was basically her prototype.
>>719633716You didn't even understand what I was talking about, son. My problem with gachas isn't MUH PREDATORY gacha mechanics, I'm not a child nor an addict, and can control my spending urges well. Just like I can control my urges and not buy some $70 AAAA Nintendoslop. Same goes for 95% of people who play these games.>b-b-but they take advantage of addictsSo? Idiots exist to be taken advantage of, I couldn't care less for your morals and social justice.
>>719628915She was designed for the most annoying type of millenial and those types tend to end up being "writers" in game companies or journalists rather than actual fans.
>>719632313Played in JP VAI still think Wuk was kind of poorly written and mildly annoying.I didn't find her nearly as bad as most people complaining online, but she's not a character I will really look back on fondly. As a main character of the expansion, Wuk kind of needed to be more likable
>>719633998graha, since he loves the wol the most
>>719634598I play on Jenova and this is like the most nondescript mmo server I’ve ever played on it’s like we are all NPCs
>>719634486Tbh I’m surprised nobody ever did cuckposting with Jullus and the twins from the Garlemald arc. Perhaps the troons that are into cucking draw the line of “SHE WAS ONLY 17.99 you sick fuck!”?
>>719634418>tranny filename
>>719635381Alisaie got a doujin at leasthttps://exhentai.org/g/2967952/4c818e70e7/
>>719635150I agree, also played in JP. What I think they fucked up is not doing what Stormblood did and focused on each char in each arc. DT was just all in on Wuk. And they fucked up 6.1-6.5 badly. It was originally designed to be a new starting point for new players, then they changed their minds. So there was no buildup to anything.
did they demote the writer yet?
>>719627970the cope is that the team is taking feedback seriously and overhauling a bunch of the garbage systems that they havnt had time to do. but i doubt it. we are getting dragged into more ascian bullshit again. patch content wont keep the game alive for another fucking year and their competitor is stealing all of their shit. even WoW has a "roadmap to midnight" which shows what theyll do but again its another year.i really want them to do a time skip or something
>>719635916Wow isn’t a competitor it’s culturally dead
>>719633998I'd say Y'shtola but she'd probably laugh and shut me down.
>>719635801No. They're trying to keep him placated by having a hooker wearing a Wuk fursuit visit his office everyday. I guess they REALLY don't want anyone to find out what happened to Blufever.
>>719636002dont be retarded
>>719636040Ffxiv competitor is gacha not wow, wow’s only competition is other versions of wow because only wow players care about wow
>>719634486Wuk didn't steal shit, but she did turn Alisaie retarded.
>>719627970Wait why would the new expansion be 2027?They're only like 2-3 months behind the ARR-SB patch cycle, even assuming it's 2.5 years per expansion now that's still a 2026 Holiday release.
>>719633716Are you a fucking idiot? Even back when MMOs were "relevant", the greater gaming community always knew these were skinner boxes compared to playing a singleplayer RPG (people would say the same shit about any JRPG they didn't like). Anybody with a brain could tell they hyperinflated numbers to keep you playing longer to accomplish the same things.Obviously I'm not suggesting it was totally pointless, it helped a lot with the social experience, but to pretend companies didn't spend as much time as possible leeching player's free time and it wasn't so controversial that anyone not Stockholm obsessed with the genre could easily tell is simply just rewriting history.
>>719636268People are basing it on the announced FanFests and comparing to past trends.I still think its a bit premature to say definitively when 8.0 will release.
>>719636421I mean that still doesn't track?The Japan FanFest in 2019 was on the 23rd of March, with Shadowbringers releasing on the 2nd of July, that's 2 months.If Japan FanFest 2025 is in October then that's either December or January at most for the new expansion, just like Endwalker.I guess a January release would be 2027 technically but still.

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/c04270777c63cabaa29d718eed4be4c1fca86c27Nobody talking about this?
>>719636831What's there to talk about? That they made Necromancer even easier?
>>719636831No one cares about cosmic.
>>719637083No one cares about FFXIV.
guys i like the new cosmic exploration zone music
>>719637234Daily seethe threads beg to differ.
Nobody cares that after completing your 1st phantom weapon step you can just buy additional ones with tomes?I'd figured people would have some opinions on that
>>719637328Yoshi P really does not want you to play his game.
>>719637328I'd have cared more if relics weren't literally the same shit visual design wise as the last 5 times
>>719636831
>>719637594KILLDOZER
>>719628326Ivalice sucks. I'd rather go back to cocoon and pulse. You could probably do a prequel mmo there with the players being L'cie in a planetary faction war.
>>719637443They are literally always a companion weapon to your artifact armor my dudeMore broadly this is a complaint about jobs having their own design language, relic weapons are not usually the space to Do Something Different
>>719637328Funny that this step is just gathering tomes but presented in a different way.
>>719627970im way more interested in 8.0 sales
>>719637328Majority of people do only one relic, of those that even do it. Very few do more than one. Back then, relics with all those steps in ARR/HW was like one of the few pieces of content even available to do. So it was meant to pad as much time as possible.Then there’s me that’s gotten every relic and every tool on two chars. But that’s another day to be narcissistic.
>>719628043Exodus is the most polarizing one of them all.
>>719637328>actual grind on a relic finally>it's just doing roulettesI miss light grindI miss booksI miss atmasI miss when the relic put you out into the world, doing things.
>>719638318Like what it literally does with the current step to buy the gil item, the fates bisexual gaem item, and the crafted items?I mean, roulettes were done before with the Alexandrite step in ARR or the Singing Clusters step in HW. As I mentioned before, back then there was literally no other content to even do so those relics were meant to take as long as possible.
>>719633716Uneducated post. Some of upcoming gachas are dropping character/weapon banners for cosmetics or Warframe-like system.
>>719633998My WoL is canonically waiting on any potential love interest to make the first move on her, with the only guaranteed no being to Magnai unless he drastically changes his approach. Top contenders are alisae and g'raha, followed by aymeric and estinien. She's starting to seethe every valentione's day for always helping others and never getting any attention.
>>719637974What are you even talking about?The relics have no job identity whatsoever, they haven't really had it since HW or even ARR, and what I'm really talking about is that VFX is completely lacking imagination or uniqueness, you could replace this patch's relics with relics from Eureka and there would be absolutely no difference. They're not themed around the jobs or the Occult Crescent, they're just generic shit that you've already done multiple times.
>>719638489Name those Gachas. Now.
>>719638318Grind is most similar to HW's with the requiring crafted items
>>719638468Anon, there used to be options.Yes, you could do roulettes, but you could also find a party to shoot the shit with and grind fates or a specific dungeon/trial.
>>719627970>OC so bad it's not even included in the new steps of the relicChaotic first, OC. Is Quantum the next big fail?
>>719638562>They're not themed around the jobswell that's just plain wrong, monk gloves in particular are very obviously a companion for the artifact armor of dawntrail, the only real outlier i can think of is samurai's that looks like a yo-kai watch weapon
>>719633998Easy.
>>719627970>house demolished while irl house had no power>stop paying digital rent>couldn't stand playing DT MSQ long enough to get to the first trial>started WoW and SWtOR>realized WoW is fucking terrible at telling its own story, but I'm trying to stockholm syndrome myself to its universe by going back to the 1994 DOS rts. >will probably play the story of all 6 SWtOR backgrounds and quit that game

Another dumpy humiliation ritual. Anyways what's going on with all the OC relic grind, I see this thread bitching it's not the light grind but also bitching it's a big grind again.
Gonna be honest as a long time DoomCHAD even I hate dumpy because it's way more satisfying to see anons write about how shitty the game has become than see the same pics for the 50th time over
what happened to beastmaster?
>>719639983Everyone hates Final Solution 9
>>719638562>>719638794If anything I wish the relics actually looked more like traditional JRPG ultimate weapons that are super gaudy and garish rather than trying to match the artifact armor.The only time I think they got sorta close to that was with some of the final stage Eureka weapons and Excalibur in ARR obviously.
>>719640071He Who Shall Not Be Named guesstimates it's coming around 7.5.
Why is it that every time theres a "change in direction" it means less content? When do we get the change in direction for more content?
I cant play rn but whats the next step for the relics? Is it fast or grindy?
>>719640071Like 8 months away, prease understandaru
>>719640217600 bicolor gems, 300k gil, crafting, then like 13~24 days of dailies followed by tomes

>>719639983Like 4 years ago I thought dump cuck was a false flagger trying to make us look bad but lo and behold he was just a retarded schizo
>>719639983interesting that the hair trigger this time was getting called early on bitching about "modernslop"
>>719640186That's because it's just boilerplate corporate speak for cutting corners, shrinking budgets, and delivering inferior quality to maximize profits
>>719640462Now if only that were consistently delivered across articles asking the same question instead of just this specific article
>phantom weapons look pretty cool this time>except fucking ninja and samurai
>called the nicest community>realized something when I read the rules>It's all kept "nice" due to a balance of fear of being banned for ANYTHING seen as not "nice"It was then that I slowly stopped playing. I at least finished Heavensward.
>>719640758What a dumb reason to quit
>>719640752Post them
>>719640758Nah, it's nice because PEOPLE DO NOT TALK TO EACH OTHER OUTSIDE OF THEIR OWN GROUP CHATS. Conversations do happen sometimes but it's few and far between.
>>719640850Well, I also got bored because the lower level classes are so mind numbing easy boring to play.
For me? It's HW.
>>719640752Our penance for Samurai eating so fucking good with daisho paired katanas in last expansion. Even if putting it on the other hip and using the second katana for Hissatsu: Senei was a missed opportunity
>>719640294>oddly translated articleIt's nice how YoshiP can avoid telling something by just never addressing content related things in English.He can make a dev note about Mare, give specific and clear examples, but he'll never talk not in japanese, since "mistranslations" always benefits SE.
>>719640758>read the rules>become a neurotic basket-case believing the rules are being enforced in dystopian fashion>it's all really generic "play nice :)" shit that applies to virtually any online game
>>719640916https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww1G6W05KPQ
>>719640186Why have 3 pieces of content that are casual, midcore, and hardcore when you can just do one that's all 3. Honestly I don't know why they didn't do it sooner
>>719640953now thats a valid reason
>>719641013Well writing out something and and translator having time to think and word things is quite different from an interview where they are doing everything at the moment
>>719641013I'm not going to blame Yoshida for translators getting it wrong anon.
>>719630725>dt>little bugsNigga what? On PS5 half the mechanics or AOE markers on the new alliance raid just randomly stop showing up.
>>719640980These are really good but WAR and MNK got fucked so hard.In a set that's all about how the weapon is a simple base for an elaborate glow effect WHY would Monk not get some cool glowing dragon fists or something rather than the Hulk hands?
>>719638967*"medieval" knights that used unobtanium coal powered harpoon launchers against space alien dragons
>>719641085They look cool and polished, but they are so generic. What even makes them related to Phantom Jobs or whatsoever?
>>719640980As much as I do love Cronus Lux I do think it's extremely lazy that the whole relic questline was spent basically just remaking Deathbringer, the starting relic.

>>719641195How about having interviews in English? You know, the international language?People here spitting on ESLs, these guys can't even talk in English despite the number of non Japanese players.Live letters are shit especially since nowadays, they don't even mention everything inside, as there are too many things only found in interviews.>>719641250That is retarded, it is his job to ensure the community gets the information. Except if it somehow helps them when the wrong information is shared (just because 1 dude wanted to share it with others who don't speak Japanese, so 99% of the western players);
>>719641601Just go the ARR route and make it mandatory for you to use your relic while doing the FATEs, problem solved.
>>719641372You mean a harpoon? That a harpoon is beyond your understanding and comprehension so it needs to be 'unobtanium coal powered''
>>719641719I don't think English interviews would actually solve the problem of people deliberately misinterpreting Yoshida.
>>719641795Anon I'm talking about the harpoon launchers being ceruleum powered, which inherently clashes with the idea of Ishgard being aesthetically medieval
I remember when people thought tidus was the worst shit ever
>>719641994Dawntrail would have been improved if Tidus took the role of Wuk Lamat.
>>719641994Those people were and always were brainlets, Tidus being a dumb whiny shit at the start was purposeful.
>>719641821It is a huge issue that there is no specific English liveletter, that's what I'm complaining. The man has no right to complain people are "deliberately" (not a fact btw) misinterpreting him if he refuses to communicate properly.And you know, for a public company, not communicating properly seems like a really retarded idea.
>>719641601>make you use the weapon to make progressWow, so hard.
>>719640997That weapon reminds me I need to do AAI(S) but dartboard 2 was already bullshit in AAI. I remember there's some mod that changes the TOP weapon model to that one too because the Omega katana is so hideous.
>>719642143tl;dr SPEAK AMERICAN
>>719641994To be fair tidus' attitude is hammed up in a very different direction in the dub, it makes him seem like more of an idiot than a fish out of water
>>719641372Also mind you the first cutscene of the game has fucking flying airships and mecha in the first two minutes in https://youtu.be/39j5v8jlndM?si=l0oTVfiEbhRX494F so it’s always strange played regards being up knights and what not
>Yoshida says all relic steps will offer options for in and out of OC>new step doesn't involve OC at allHoly fuck lol, literally dead zone
>>719638318You think you do but you don't. Having to wait for a specific FATE spawn or having to reroll Leves until the correct one shows up, and then having to do this 8 more times is not a good grind.
>>719642260This is one of those "people will complain no matter what we do so fuck off" design choices.Come to think of it they also haven't put out a player survey in some time, and it's most likely a good thing they did that. The whole "players are always right about how they feel, they are never right about the solution" thing.
>>719641994 Only one but shitposters thought that, what the fuck are you on about. If I had to pick the worse FF mc it would be lighting
>>719642397Well I meant more when the game released but you were still in non existence at that point so it's not your fault you don't understand what I meant
>>719638967>Prince Edward, we need you to come with us! Only your royal blood can open the way to the monsters den that houses the magical pearl needed to save my beloved wizard girlfriend.>Sure thing Sir Cecil, Dark Knight of the kingdom of Baron, I'll escort you and this little mage summoner girl on my nifty mechanical hovercraft that I just keep parked here in my castle
>>719642260Thank god there is nothing to do there. One afternoon of farm is already enough to see everything (15 CEs).Nobody wants to follow the CE train with no FT at the end, since it's so terrible.
>>719642440soul
he suck me good even in dead threads
>>719642260>no incentives not to play tank and facetank everything since there are no duel>Everything is just a big train>No fun special engagement to grind with FT being for raidfags/discord tranniesand nothing of value was lost
>>719642286I think I did books on content and have done an ARR relic in the last year, so yes, I do want it.Fuck you.
>>719642260I think they weren't prepared for people that care to have all maxed phantom jobs and full +1/+2 sets. Never underestimate the unemployed.
>>719642286They would flip out if there was an item drop from a dungeon that wasn’t guaranteed. They have no idea.As I was saying earlier, there’s so much additional content available, the decision here is the best thing. A one time grind to experience things like the old days and that’s it.
>>719642236>dude I don't get it, the series has never been pure fantasy, what's your issue with it?
>>719642951
>>719642951dumpy miNDBroken
>>719642951final fantasy has always been [ALL] fantasy meshed into one clusterfuckyes that includes modern fantasy
>>719642879The grind was easy and they made it even easier a few weeks ago. They absolutely knew, nothing in XIV is for unemployed besides pvp titles and accursed.
>>719643047My bad, let me present the actual, literal argument you made back to you.
>>719643349You never played ff6
Top left and bottom right is the same tho. Bipedal mech
>>719642951>>719643349Nobody cares to have this argument for the 17th time in an hour. Again. Daily. Second time in this thread immediately preceding an Epic Folder Dump, even.
>>719643418I have actually, I must have just missed the side quest where they find a warehouse of Caterpillar branded heavy machinery.
>>719643521I've seen one or two Gunbreakers dying the overcoat blue and using it as a DMC5 Nero glamour
>>719642951None of the final fantasy games have been hard medevil fantasy, the fact last expansion had trains, cars, radios, and heaters because they couldn’t use aether makes logical sense.
How has the battle content been this expac?
>>719641953So a harpoon is some space age technology now and that somehow justified a Rainforest bulldozer.
>>719643423
I'm nooticing whenever someone loses an argument they're quick to be called dumpiesMust just be me I guess...
>>719643660fun for one week but has no staying power because1. job design is garbage and that makes every piece of content boring once you know the mechanics2. rewards are worthless3. in the case of forked tower specifically, it’s so obnoxious to get a group in that nobody bothers
>>719643660Raids and EX trials are among their best (Zelenia excepting, just decent) but normal mode stuff can still be a bit of a snooze at times. Not a bad thing, I prefer a snooze to difficult, and alliance raids make up for it. There seems to be a trend of simpler mechanics while making up the complexity deficit in stuff like adds (M6S) and more varied fight conditions (getting anal vored by Necron in EX5 can be used to avoid some attacks) which bodes very well for 8.0's job reworks.
>>719643660Mediocre. The 6th savage fight is add focus for the first time since like Gordias but everything else is whatever, not awful but not interesting either.
>>719643632>None of the final fantasy games have been hard medevil fantasyAnon, why do you think the image is comparing a non-medieval looking character from FFIX to one from FFXIV?
>>719643660Very good
>>719633083It's a shit patch.
>>719643660The only redeeming point. Except FRU which was way too easy. FT is polarizing because boss 2 lets 1 random schmuck wipe 48 people.
>>719638967Medieval knights fighting against bipedal mechs shooting magic laser beams out of their mouths. Final fantasy has always had a mix of magic and technology in it, why is a bulldozer so hard to believe out of everything? My only complaint about it is that its fairly dull.
>>719634274it was jarring to see her personality shift in DT
>medievalIt's high fantasy, the game is not historical in the slightest so stop using that word. Even more insufferable than the "Medival Europe" fags in pathfinder threads.
>>719645036Every single character became a complete caricature of themselves and had next to no lines so Wookie could hog the spotlight
>>719645117Medieval fantasy
>>719645223No. The game isn't historical in the slightest, you want a medival fantasy then play a game like Kingdom Come Deliverance or Wartales.
>>719644143How hard is it to see the difference between the two even just from your description?If ARR had the same art direction as the game does now then those knights wouldn't have been fighting bipedal Magitek Reapers, they'd be fighting M1A1s and Gaius would be strolling up to Eorzea in an Audi rather than an airship.
>>719645036Different writer who previously worked on side quests, Beast tribe quests and job quests like the Bard quest line.He knew nothing of the characters and very obviously can't character write to save his career.
>>719645036Really pissed me off she was singing Wuk's praises and following her lead over the fucking WoL
Eorzea has been a retarded mess of a setting since the Crystal Tower from FF3 showed up. It shouldn't have taken you until Yoshi-P shoved in hot topic clothing for you to realize this.
>>719645036Wuk gave everyone a lobotomy
I think the aether in the new world must be thin or something everyone is fucked up
>>719645496They ran out of Amano designs to use as inspiration.
>>719645160I can't recall it verbatim but there's one dialogue choice in DT right before WoL enters the portal to the other shard where you say something direct and touching to alisaie and her reply fucking blew me away at how uncharacteristically bland it was from her after everything you've been through together
>>719645521What lead? The WoL doesn't have a lead, you get pointed at an target and you go after it like the weapon of light you are.
>>719645835All the scions did not need to be there for DT. They were just there to fill the trust slots.
>>719645945In the scene I added, WoL is just standing casually and Wuk is being confrontational. As you can see Alisaie is acting like Wuk's attack dog.Irked me
what the fuck is the drop chance on these demiatmas
>>719646071Low
>>719643759You didn’t notice when the dumpy stopped and then an argument about “muh fantasy” started?
>>71964607120% for fates and 30% for CEs
Dumpy has 3 mods. Folder dump, artbook dump, and crying about modern aesthetics
>>719646198Yeah people tend to stop posting when they want to this is a great hill to die on, as if more than one person posts here at a given time
>>71964607120% from CEs, 5% from Fates (both OC and DT zones)Actually confirmed in the 7.3 live letter
>>719643660Meh. They leaned away from body checks as bad, but the job design ruins anything they try to do.
>>719645036You mean after Coils you stupid secondary.
>>719645569Crystal Tower really isn't that incongruous outside of being a piece of iconography from a different game, on the inside it's just like any other Allagan environment and on the outside it fits right in with the rest of ARR's original crystal monuments.It's like the Tactics Ogre gear - yeah it's ripped wholesale from a completely different game, but it's not like it clashes with the game's aesthetic so nobody complains.
>>719646413You mean after HW you tertiary.
>>719628043None of this is true though when everyone just goes to Aether now to raid and do other content.
>>719637328I like the fact I have relics for jobs I havent even unlocked
I still don't undertand how the reflections work, if I had a rocket and went into reflection space where would I even be?
>>719645513sorry bwo this isn't erasing that people loved pandaemonium which he also wrote
i remember back in early stormblood making a bad "modern" looking glamour and wishing we had more modern stuff like baseball caps and the likesorry bros... i monkey pawed us
>its a roulette relictotal roulette hero victory
>>719645569That's not even the full reference. The entire calamity lore is full of references with the earthquake and flood from 3 and the war of the magi from 6.
>>719646558Not explored by the story, assumedly you'd be in a completely separate dimensional version of that larger universe
>>719646697It makes me wonder if somehow venat didn't use electrope to make pocket dimensions like vana'diel is
>>719646445On that note, something I realized is that the “modernslop” gear has only been used for Solution Nine NPCs. It was added for PvP in EW but I think it was part of their DT development and they decided to drop it early. If you use the Player Visibility plugin and disable everyone and just look at NPCs for all the quests and such, you very very rarely see “modernslop”. Maybe certain seasonal events. It’s just when it’s added to the mogstation and players use it, you think it’s used more often than not. What I’m trying to say, is that you don’t really see random NPCs in modernslop outfits out of nowhere.
>>719646692Yoshi-P rushed that shit and I can't even blame him in those circumstances.
>>719646692Absolute first calamity they tried was Dark aspected too in reference to Chaos (Zodiark himself being a Chaos reference) before settling on Wind for the second go of it
>>719632189/thread
>>719646861Yeah if anything they've done a great job of constraining "modernslop" to an area where it's actually appropriate and the only reason they're seemingly going overboard with it is it's actually appropriate for Alexandria and current goings-on in Dawntrail, it's also very easy to say they're going "overboard" with it when most new sets reflect it and end up being around 10 to 15 sets total in a game with hundreds of setsIt's survivorship bias of being at the forefront of an expansion coupled with precious little going on to actually complain about
>>719646807Apparently Electrope requires constant lightning Aether to function. I’m assuming the Vana’diel recreation is working is because it’s closest to the Ninth (Skydeep Cenote) to make use of that energy.
>>719628915Her role is finished now, she likely won't be appearing again much going forward beyond this expansion much like Zero, Yugiri, Hien, Aymeric, Lysle, Sadu, Magnai, Arenvald, Fordola, Jullus, Leena, Ryne, Gaia, Lucia and Maxima.Wuk's story is finished, along with Koana's.
>>719633998>never done anything annoying>always got your back>actually good at fighting>stoic>would look like alucard if he wasnt a lalaJust feed him a fantasia and he'd be 10/10
>>719633998Always and forever

>>719647149>Voiced by Adam Howden (Shulk) in English>Voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama (Link, Viral, Guy Shishioh, etc) in JapaneseLiterally the coolest.
>Forced to do Alliance roulette for the new relic stepHoly fuck I'd be okay with literally anything else, even books. I don't want to do fucking Crystal Tower a billion times. Even worse they give shit all points and since you HAVE to do roulette you're probably gonna get this shit.

>>719647402Yeah Nier garbage gives the most points, and people try to say those raids aren't a boring slog.

Has Kate been fired yet? Not coming back if she's still poisoning the lore.
>>719647912Japan tends to keep peopleThey would sooner move her to another team than fire her
>>719647912No. I expect she will say SE or Yoship abused her if they fire her.
>>719648000Considering she also doesn't make public appearances and hasn't handled interviews since Dawntrail build-up everybody bitching about her all day pretty much got what they wanted anyways

>>719648171It makes no difference if she's quietly or loudly shitting up the lore and English localization. She needs to be gone or moved to a position of no influence, not just out of the public eye.

>>719638794The Samurai weapon looks so fucking bad man, it really is a yo-kai weapon
>>719648714They're not going to kneel to people on the internet that believe a localization head controls the game's storyline, don't be a silly little goose
>>719643790>2. rewards are worthlessThat's not specific to DT, this is basically XIV in a nutshell: dogshit rewards for dogshit tasks.
>>719643790>Rewards are worthless>When the Chaotic hairstyle is 35M and climbing, still selling dailyChaotic enjoyers are making it out like bandits.

>>719649004>Have to go to Aether just to do it.>It's only active during bonus times ONLY when it's happening on Aether.What the fuck were they thinking? Their plan to make the content more accessible only made it less accessible
>>719649069I'm putting bids on a bunch of Larges recently and just paid for a bunch of friend C41s so Gil still gets plenty use. Not to mention there's still 1 set of pentamelds to go this expansion.

Except the fucking devs themselves.THEY AREN'T PLAYING THEIR GAME.
>>719649004I hate that hairstyle because it looks like shit on Lalafells, the bangs are shorter than on other races and it ruins the whole look.
>>719649306>schizo’s cope

>>719649635>remove map for two years to just add gay pve shit
>>719649635I can't believe Secure is actually worse after the update. The jump pads make it even easier for people the brainlessly go mid every time it's up than before. There's a base occupied by an enemy right in front of them with no enemies there? Well mid is up so ignore it and go to the jump pad ASAP
>>719648823I didn't say story, I said lore and localization and she is literally the English localization lead and lore consultant. I heard Hiroi has been taken off the MSQ so the story might recover now.

>>719649837>Cactuar: Large Spanish speaking communityReally? Been on there since ShB and didn't know that. Must keep to themselves or something
I doubt there's one of those for Dynamis but I just want to say that every single bottom of the barrel, absolute garbage, worst of worst player I've ever had the misfortunate to play with has been a <Traveler> from fucking Halicarnassus. Every time. I don't know what it is about that server but it consistently churns out shit players.
No Corsair = no sub.Simple as.
>>719640758The people who say ffxiv has a nice community are delusional psychopaths who are part of the reason why ffxiv has such a shitty communityeveryone who plays the game for a prolonged period of the time develops some kind of mean girl syndome where they think their shitty behavior is the pinnacle of moral correctness because they do things like wait for the sprout to watch cutscenes all the good people immediately catch on and fall into their own cliques, because ffxiv has the worst community ever observeed in an mmo
>>719649635They added secure back? The funny thing is I was completely correct about the original iteration. I was saying that it needs to just be removed. Pvp changes (and lack thereof) in general are what killed late EW and DT for me. Once of the damage reduction changes completely skewed premade win rates from 50 to 75%. The nail in the coffin was the ability change tying effect to animation removed all skill in snapshotting and positioning, made the whole ordeal way more sluggish.

why do people seriously discuss the lore in this game? things are the way they are because its most convenient for the writers and game designers, and will change at the drop of a hat if needed.

>>719651285It would've been like melee RDM. It would've been so much fun. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Kate had a say in telling the team corsair would've been look at as troublesome.>sabre and matchlock>uhm this is a hecking conquistador somehow>yoshi p-san this won't go well!!
>>719652681It’s pretty obvious if you read my post. I want changes to things that are bad (like premade DRK dominance going unchecked for for several years) and not them to change things that are good (like job damage reductions, or shatter) and make them bad
>>719652867>I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Kate had a sayNigga this shit is so retarded yoshit pee pee poo poo came out on stage and mentioned SAO by name when talking about Viper because he's trying to appeal to retards.
>>719652867Yup, it's pretty evident that Kate blocked the idea of Corsair all around mostly due to its problematic lore of pirating and non-woke activities. This game is such a fucking joke. Fire Kate NOW
>>719652749Imagine the thousands of hours spent doing this shit
>>719628043Is there an equivalent for the european servers? I'm on Ragnarok, and the French infestation is unbearable.
>>719652867>Melee RDM>When RDM can't even do M7S without being fake Melee>Griefing the group by stealing a melee's spot with shit damageCorsair will doom RDM even more. I hope they remove the rez, or restrict it more.
Kate really is the Eden primal of this threadYour imagined version of her is so much more powerful than reality
>>719653035Hearing my DNC bitch about standard step not hitting was entertaining. M7S blows.
>>719651876Ultros was never this based when I played. I muted dozens of trannies and tranny supporters during hunt trains.
>>719652253I am still mad that she got the lyse treatment.
I will play this game and introduce 100 people to the game that I know through work, friends I have, family and another 50+ who are acquaintances, I'll introduced them all right now if one thing happens. That's at least 150 people I can bring to the game who would all be subscribing members, and 10%-20% would use the cash shop regularly as I know they are degenerates who likes to play dress up.The one thing I need to happen is for SE to fire Kate. I won't play and support games that have political activists be they far left or far right, it's not something I will ever support.That's an instant $2000 a month I can bring to the game, that's $48000 a year and in Japanese currency that's 6,981,600 JPY a year I can bring to the game before cash shop and expansion purchase which a lot of them absolutely will do. Fire Kate and I will pay for her replacement.
>>719653382But so did woke lmao thankfullyA shame regardless, Sphene is cute CUTE!
eh if you ask me, the less of DT we carry over to future xpacs, the betterthat includes sphene
>>719642951the image is extra funny because this was supposed to be the ffix expansion.
>>719653972Huh? It's the ff9 expansion
>criticize video game>you're a dumpy
>>719653035Rez spam has such insane value fake melee RDM is usually not a bad choice. The only reason to not run it is if enrage is tight.
are you enjoying no man's sky's latest patch? lul
>>719654205cocoli when the only bgc she can find in space are aliens
Why does playercount matter? Does people quitting the game stop me from gooning with Cocoli and our Big Black Roegadyn friends? No? Then I don't care
>>719654110yeah that's what I said
>>719654162On the paper, you're right. In my experience, either the rez are useless because there is a bodycheck incoming very soon, or the people just can't make a comeback. Either way, if too many people die, you probably don't have the DPS. There is no use playing RDM beyond prog.It is also very infuriating that verraise cancels your combo, and that you have to sometimes pray to have a good RNG when it's burst time to be in melee. I don't even feel like the QA team at SE have someone who plays RDM.
Dumpy twerks his bussy for mods on discord to unban him lole
>>719652991What makes it even more funny is he also said he tried to target a younger audience with this xpac. Fucking old man thinks young kids are going to play a fuckin mmorpg.
>>719654726It seems I'm literally blind
>>719628043>laid back like adamantoiseAs an adamantoisan who was here for the great "New Player suggested" boom back in early ShB, I can tell you right now we used to be cool but are now fake and gay, which seems to be what "laid back" means nowadays.We had that "WoW player that quit because WoW was shite" community going on but unfortunately some of the actual fags from WoW joined in and now that everyone sane ditched XIV after it became fake and gay all we have left is literal basket cases and gaylord fawkers.Load of horse shite to say Ada is any good now. When Bozja came out originally we'd lead the charge of "Shut up and keep it out of shout" when trannies reared their ugly mugs and did that stupid "Trans rights!" crap.We'd talk shit at the start of DT in hunt trains and tural shout chat but everyone is gone now and only the fruit loops remain.
It's going to rebound to SB or below numbers. They'll *try* to do another ShB to recover all the lost...well everything from DT and since the only thing setup from DT is the reflection jumping plot mcguffin, it's pretty much the only thing they could do.Regardless of story you're getting more of the same gameplay. Unless they just fucking send it and make XIV-2 it's all you can get, the netcode and systemcode is the hard limiting factor to the gameplay at this point so shit isn't going to change unless they start over since that's foundation level stuff.
>>719650093siren
>>719655462The gameplay is just trash. If the combat was good, everyone would keep playing even though the MSQ is shit just like WoW, but there's nothing to fall back on. It's a total slog shit.
>>719654205No, behold my YanI started the relic and am probably doing unreal nextThat looks like the La Noscea Sahagin aread almost 1:1 in the distance
>>719655650It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't make jobs all feel the fuckin sameViper is literally just "better Reaper"Dragoon and Ninja play very closely with their CD spam windowsSamurai and Monk both have the "freestyle and set up" abilities from Meikyo and PBThis is just melee too, other roles have it worse in some cases like Tank
>>719656024We'll see what "big changes" to jobs comes in 8.0
>Y'shtola has a pretty interesting supporting cast with her sister and Matoya her mentor>never bring them up againThey would be so good as comedy elements in the dating content...
>>719656024DRG and NIN don’t play like each other at all
>>719656095I see this said in every XIV thread now, what big changes could they possibly do that would change anything?? changing your rotation slightly wouldn't make the combat fun. They need to get rid of the input delay or add unique procs to sets or something, nobody gives a fuck if your rotation is slightly different in 8.0 it's always different after an expansion release.
>>719656095it's gonna be potency tweaks and making more shit passiveprease understand we have no money for overhaul
I hate how braindead and overpowered Viper is
>>719652751This
this game will never have enough players to break dawntrail player count. dawntrail killed the game
>>719656230I heard the same thing about RPR
>>719656289Viper is even dumber than Reaper. Amazing job work.
>>719656024Meikyo and PB play very differently imo. MNK doesn't really care about filler either unlike SAM. No casts, no finishers outside of burst, at worst your balls are slightly out of order.
>>719655892I'm giving them till the next expansion to right the ship.That might be *too* long. But I want to give them a "chance" to fix it when I've loved some much of everything else this game has given, even what many consider the low points like ARR or Stormblood. I just genuinely don't think they will rid themselves of Kate or activists like her at this point.Which is a shame because I have played this game since 1.0. Even have the sub discount and I've not been unsubbed for even one month since ARR's launch. At least the dungeons/raids are goodWuk had the chance to be somewhat cute.Instead she had me begging for Zero to come back and tip her stupid hat one more time.
>>719656197>>719656206Dunno, but we will know more later
>>719656230It's a mid to low melee outside of early savage prog where UF has huge value because of the free uptime. And M6S because lol cleaves.Meta melee still are NIN DRG MNK, with SAM if you need a buff padder.
Wont come back unless 8.0 fixes everythingAlso gimme a claw job, no monk doesnt count monk is shit
>>719656197>add unique procs to sets or somethingFor the love of all that is holy do not turn this game into the shitfuckpiss balance mess that is wow
>>719656441The game is on maintenance mode. We all knew it.
>>719656261why can't xiv be this cool
>>719656603no its not
>>719656603I remember when you said this in ShB before EW was announced, what happened there
>>719656565>don't copy something that is more successful because... because JUST DON'T OK??fun >>>> balance, raidtranny faggot. the game is going to die without big changes.
complete lalaboy destruction
>>719656747complete roegadyn cock destruction
>>719656646>>719656691>The game can't be dying because some schizo said it was dying BEFORENot an argument, retards.
>>719656405They already said that the changes can't shake up the game that much because whatever the state of the jobs are after 8.0 it still has to be compatible with all the older combat content already in the gameThe most wild changes I see happening are them dialing back on outward buffs to lessen the effects of stacking and maybe killing off melee positionals for good
>>719656197>or add unique procs to sets or something likely already exists in the WoD MSQpic related is the Warrior of Darkness. Notice how the hud is similar to the Warrior of Light's
>>719656802The fact that Yoshida is talking about 8.0 and beyond doesyou mongoloid
WHERE ARE MY PLUGINS YOU FUCKING LAZY TRANNIES
>>719656738What fun is there to be had when your class/job doesnt get taken into any content because the balance overlords have decided to make it dogshit this patch?Have you learned nothing?Did you forget about draught of souls?
>sage this late in the threadfor what purpose?
>>719656197The first step is stepping away from the 2 minute burst meta. It keeps making everything a scripted mess. It makes health sponge content just feel more drawn out instead of engaging. Every job shouldn't feel like they are playing the fucking same. >>719656405>we are going to keep the game literal baby-tier because we are afraid of players that are too lazy to play the fucking gameI won't be surprised if they just prune more skills and actually force the one button pvp combos.
>>719656895>trying to play semantics by saying "dying" in this context is the servers shutting downI accept your concession, tranny. Enjoy maintenance mode, which is dying.
>>719649727these have to be at least 10 years old now. Aside from balmung all the other crystal worlds are exactly the same and they just made shit up. Mateus never looked down on non-rp players lmao
>>719657031you don't know what maintenance mode means
>>719657006He just woke up
>>719647510At least the FFXIV porn scene is still going.
>>719656405>Please look forward to itLook forward to what? He didn't say anything of substance other than they taking on feedback and ignoring it but also listening and also changing the jobs to be more complex while not at all.This cunt makes my head hurt with the PR double speak.
Yoshitterpeepee lies as easily as he breathes
>>719656847i'm sorry Noroi but you're going to have to sue Square Enix. You've had years and still the only one fighting for this is you. Nobody else. Just you.
>>719657083not as active as it was beforebut it's barely by much since there wasn't that much flow of it in the first placeat least compared to shit like overwatch and such
>>719657006He has to go defend wow I think it’s getting shit on
I remember seeing threads (I don't play the game myself) about how the game was selling so much they were running out keys and server space, this was back in 2021...thought it was not that long ago.Maybe forever games were a mistake, always having to keep up, month after month with the demands of players who might sink a 100 hours a week into a game.
>>719657980Eh it’s only 12 years old, I give it like 6 more years minimum and 10 years maximum
