>>719791383Genuine question but does anyone even care about this MMO anymore? So many people have dropped it since they realise it's stale and in decline. Even gooners are moving on post-Mare like a wake up call.
>>719797693I still enjoy playing it
>Come back for the free log in to do msq and try out occult>favorite job doesn't feel good>forgot how to nin>blm isn't even 100 to try it properly (and have no clue how it operates with the changes anyways, especially when brain sees lots of thunder procs and wants to hit button)Oh right, it's the jobs why I haven't been playing lately.

I was trying to think who is the second best girl after Yshtola. Then I realized it is Sadu who just also happens to be a black mage

>>719801759What's the charity for?
>>719801956I don't even know. Mogtalk is the one hosting it apparently.
>>719802406knowing them is probably some trans right shit
>>719791383me too
>>719797693the game is still pretty good overall . If you aren't into mmos you probably won't enjoy it but there's not much else besides WoW (lol) or OSRS.
BUILT for strong white males, and to escape this fucking shitty game
>>719796315>Yoshi hates this characterization of Ysh
>>719793556I don't even think the game is in that bad of a spot. The battle content this expansion has been really good. The story and OC have been terrible though. Bozja was pretty good for what it was, no idea why they decided to take so many steps back from that. IMO by FAR the biggest issue XIV has at the moment is the Data Center problem. If you want to do PF content, or even some story dungeons, you pretty much have to swap over to Aether DC. This is an issue because many times Aether is congested and you can't travel there, so you're just stuck. They need to figure out cross DC grouping already.
>>719804334the characterization of her working to exhaustion and then falling asleep? it is pretty dumb to just have her reading on the floor with a stack of books and not a desk or something
femra legs drive me wild
>>719805018Why would you ever respond earnestly to a "can this save XIV" post?
>>719793556Nothing, just let it die. It will never return to former glory before wow shitters invaded and devs are too scared of players needing to press more than one button in any content that isnt ultimate.
>>719798642based oldgawd I kneel
>>719805018>Bozja was pretty good for what it wasIt was hated plenty in its heyday
>>719807589I still mostly use my legacy chocobo mount.Its always funny when I see people opining for 1.0. To me at least, it was awful. At 1st I was wowed by the zone sizes, but I quickly noticed the copy/paste. And the fatigue system, fucking yeesh.
>>719808017but the graphics looked so good tho
>>719808103Yea the graphics and music were amazing.I built my 1st custom PC specifically to play XIV 1.0. So my experience was likely better than people who had lesser PC specs.
>>719808103That looks awful.
how does Kate still have the job?does she not know that commas exist?
>>719807869Bozja was a pain in the ass grindfest but I really liked the boss rush dungeon
>want to craft the relic stuff myself>my gear isn't good enough and it will be a while yet before it isdo i just get over myself
>>719809086yeah. they're like 90k in the MBt. had ilvl710 pentamelds
how would (you) fix FFXIV?
>>719809201Right now I got unmelded 720. I really don't wanna meld that gear because I know I wanna replace it with 7.3 gear. But I need to meld it to be able to make that gear. Reee.
>>719804334Why? She's fucking boring unless she has flaws, everyone else has flaws and they are just better characters. Otherwise she's just a one dimensional strong woman character and that is just downright DULL.Even Estinien, as overpowered as he is, is a goddamn moron and can't handle money differences between countries.
>>719809210Harem option.
>>719804334>>719809587what does Yoshi think about water water froth and foam?
black mage is the funnest class to make glams for. but i still prefer red mage
>>719809676Was Gaia ever brought to the MSQ? Or is she still relegated to only the side content?I'd love Ryne and Gaia to come back...
>>719809736He personally executed the writer who used his last moments to secretly force it into the MSQ.
>>719809820She appears at the end of a scene if you do Eden, but that's about it. Wish they'd pull the trigger and make it mandatory (along with possibly Warring Triad and the ShB role quests.)
>>719809928you saw people kvetching about having to do the manderville quests to get EW relics
>>719809210Realistically the only way is to remind time and kick a rock so trusts are never added and SHB doesn't get popular
>>719809928>and the ShB role quests.not happeningthey'll have to make that storyline accessible through other means
>>719810050Let them screech. I'm sick of potential kino being compromised beacuse people refuse to play the game they bought a sub for.
>>719810050I member when people bitched about Titan Hard being an MSQ requirement.Do it, SE, I want to see the casuals squirm
>>719791383I love DORKS!
>>719810267while i do agree that there are many compelling and interesting plot hooks attached to the raid and trial series, there's two issues with it1: the MSQ is already gargantuan. 2.0 to 7.3 is like 200 hours if you skip quests. desu I'm not a fan of crystal tower being mandatory for the MSQ2: i DO want more original stories. dawntrail for the most part was a swing and a miss but imho they've not struck out yet. it'll be kinda disappointing if instead of trying something new they do what gamefreak does and genwun so hard it ruins their franchisewhat would fix the game is to expedite the content cadence. while 7.3 was very pretty, the cinematography was among the best, it shouldn't have taken 5 months to release 1/3 of the 'patch'
>>719808393You might wanna get your eyes checked, my dude.Also some of the animations are miles ahead of what we’ve got now.
>>719793818https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEZsGUqgtHQ
>>719810356>3.4 added Titan HM to MSQ>5.0 added Titan HM to MSQ againto be fair, nowadays titan hm is a dungeon boss
>>719809587I think he wants Yshtola to be bland so she can be forever marketable. He's afraid to have her do anything that break her "image"
>>719810050It’s kinda funny realizing that troons hate Manderville quests because it makes fun of them in the ARR and SB ones with the crossdressing.
>>719810924i've literally never heard them bitch about it. you gotta remember trannies are first and foremost autists and the wacky detective man was in the way of their purples
>>719810356Titan Hard is an absolute joke though
>>719798642I'm still waiting for my PS3 beta code
Game worth coming back yet? DBD is going to shit with them adding the anti tunnel and slugging to the game. So I was thinking of coming back to Final Fantasy XIV?
>>719810682>You might wanna get your eyes checkedMy eyes are fine. That shit looks like puke.
>>719810896She’s basically Shantatto without being a cunt.
>>719811034Speaking of 1.0 PS3, I found this relic of an email.
>>719801503Built for post-coitus cuddles.
>>719810792>7.4 adds Titan HM to MSQ again
HOW DO I BEST GET GATHERER MATERIA
>8.0 has a pseudo-Egyptian zone>no pretense of respecting foreign cultures like Dawntrail, just pure fanservice>including the sluttiest goddamn glams, both crafted with local materials and as dungeon drops>just Shisui 2.0
>>719809928Either all content should be mandatory or none of it should be, no inbetween. If the latter and you miss context then RIP bozo go back and do it.
>>719811128you know thats a really good comparison. though shantotto is a cunt because she regrets not getting married. you can spare yshtola the same fate
>>719809210Get a new writer for the next expansion, and make classes have some depth to them instead of what they are doing now, which is removing the depth so people can just easily pick any class up.
>>719810356Titan Hard was heavily casualized by that point.
>>719809928I want Ryne and Gaya back.I want the Void quest characters and Zero back.I want Cid and the Ironworks team back.I want Gayus and his bf and the big robots back.I want Venat and Emet and Hythlo back.
>>719811104Depends on what you're looking for in an mmo. I think XIV is in a decent spot, not amazing not terrible. The story rn blows but most other things are good.
>>719811465They've already announced they're streamlining and unifying jobs in 8.0, get fucked
>>719811104To put it in gamer terms; FFXIV is about as fun as perkless/addonless Brapper against a bully squad. And you have to win or your balls explode.
>>719809210Make it a turn based single player rpg
>>719811412Never gonna happen
>>719811412time for soken's coverhttps://youtu.be/JnqQ8n06-0A
>>719811489It was still an issue with casual playersEnough so my FC at the time held an all day event to help people on our server clear it.Yes I've told this story before
>>719811518The point of "Remember us" will always be lost on majority of players who treat SHB and EW like marvel films.
>>719811679EW is a Marvel film
>>719811536>>719811565Damn, guess I'll wait for the 7.4 since I assume Savage and the other endgame content is dead now?
>>719811601Everything is an issye with casual players. I did Don Mheg a month into SHB with people who wiped on second boss three times
>>719811742So is ShB.
>>719811851>>719811601its astonishing how bad the average player is
Believe that "overhauling the jobs" is going to do anything to the player-base or bring people back is as retarded a take as thinking the graphics overhaul is going to bring people back or save the game. Nobody gives a fuck. The engine makes combat feel like shit, an "overhaul" would change your rotation slightly, and that would be it, the same dogshit we've had for every expansion release ever. Changing your rotation in XIV is like shuffling chairs on the titanic.
>>719811808It isn't dead dead but its not really in a healthy state either. Raiders are shitting blood and cum because SE hasn't released an Ultimate this expac. Which they'd just cheat anyway.

>>719791383I wish I could get into MMOs...
>>719811992FRU was this expansionAnd another Ult in 7.5
>>719811930And these are the players Yoshida caters to
>>719800119You spelt Wizard Sleeve wrong.
>>719811992How about the other contents? Worth doing for a midcore player like me?
>>719812091Another ult is "hopefully in 7.5" which are Yoshida's direct words.
>>719812093their sub money is just as good as the ultimate raiders. and turbocasuals don't complain as loudly
>>719810050Manderville is shit because it's a completely different tone from the rest of the game even other side content.It's Japanese WOW SO WHACKY JP humour. If you're into it you'll love it, if you're not you'll hate it as I and many, many others do.
>>719812075you're like 15-20 years too lateall of the MMOs out right now are shit, and no one wants to make new ones. The few coming out don't look particularly goodEven the Riot MMO is rumoured to have been retooled into a Genshit clone after the development reboot last year
>>719812178So NOW we are caring about specific wording?Not saying its you specifically, but when I clarified Yoshida's words I got told I was a coping white knight.
I also want Fordola and the cripple back. In the big robots.
>>719791383>>719796315I want to have cuddlesex in bed with her, i want to rub her fluffy ears and watch her slowly closing eyes in pleasure whiles smiling at me.
>>719812389I want it rough
unironically if DT is the game's lowest point ever then it's achieved untouchable status previously held by one warcraft world game>kinda boring rn come back laterits lowest point ever? pretty fokkin good by mmo standards m9
>>719809210As much as I want RPG mechanics I think that's too much work now and wouldn't even affect the vast majority of contentYou'd need bespoke mechanics for jobs, job mechanics based around movement and positioning vs the boss/party since it's a DDR game, and reasons for party cooperation besides don't overlap AoEs for mechanic pattern #7For the story, stopped paying attention in ShB but probably just go back to 2.X-3.X style of adventure, politics, and race warsRemove any futuristic/streatwear/chinky/gooky/etc. gear from the game that isn't alexander or allagan gearSwap all scions out for side characters like Riol or just a rotating cast per expansionKeep adding adds to raids as well as bespoke mechanics that happen at random intervals and/or can only be dealt with by certain party members
>>719811518>I want the Void quest characters and Zero back.Nigga, Zero was just Wuk Lamat 1.0. She stole the thunder from the void quest characters completely. Everything they did was made useless by her.
>>719811537Then it's unironically over. Even the casuals were starting to get annoyed at how every class is basically the same when I last played.
>>719812549Abloobloo
>>719811537Show me
>>719812549there was no thunder to steal, they were in sidequest purgatory
Cat hag deserves atleast 10 kittens in her belly

>>719812467>RoughNahGirls with fluffy ears and fluffy tails are for maximum comfy, of course cuddle sex can be just passionate
>>719812219>all of the MMOs out right now are shitnot all of them, pic related is the ONLY mmo showing massive growth over the last 10 years or so
I want to have sex with literally every female in this game, yes that includes the fat cat bitch from ShB
>>719813047still shit
>8.0 is gonna be a mix of heavensward and japan wank (snow/hingashi)u rike?
>>719813223Sure if the writing is good again
>>719813223I would if the writing team had any chance of being good. But after DT, I'd be a fool to hope for the best.
>>719813337>>719813347hiroi is also writing it again because they have literally no one else please understand
>>719809210Fire Kate and Hiroi
>>719812075Trust me, you don't. Troonfail finally making me quit was the best thing that happened to me.
>>719813337>>719813347we'll know at the first fanfest. if Ishikawa is announced as the writer there, we'll know. If she isn't present, then she's not writing it
>>719796315>start dropping patches where Yshtola is a cute dumb little hag >"I hope you liked what you saw because you're never getting more lmao!"It's like giving someone a free drug sample and refusing to sell more.
I enjoy burning looting and murdering, where do I sign up
>>719809210Khloe breeding sim
>>719793556>thisY'shtola in swimwear? It already IS ingame for Trust autists.
>>719809210I'd make it worse on purpose as a joke.
>>719813417No way they are letting him stay as main writer
The game needs to break the formula.For example, I don't think garlemald needed an entire expansion but it's like "hey, we are closing the storyline in endwalker, what if we make 7 zones instead of six instead? and add 1 trial more?"But they offer the same every fucking expansion people gets tired.
>>719811256>it's a solo duty
>>719812075Maybe if you had some friends to play with. Thats how I got into it.
>>719813726i don't think endwalker would have been improved by another zone and another msq trial. did you want to fight amon again?
>>719812178No idea why the playerbase has let themselves become so cucked about ult expectations. Imagine if they said stuff like "erm we're not sure if we can manage a 3rd raid tier this expansion but we'll try", and people just shrugged their shoulders and accepted that possibility.It's ridiculous, there are some things in the game that are so expected it shouldn't even be a question anymore, and 2 ults an expansion is one of them now. The fact that people are willing to accept 1 is even more ridiculous when you remember it was originally supposed to be 3 too.
>>719813223I don't ever like the 'real place but FANTASY' shit, but at this point XIV has gone down the toilet enough in terms of worldbuilding that I'll just take a cozy Hokkaido mountain village to idle in.
>>719813792well for me, that I'm playing this game since 1.0 seeing the original enemies only got 1 white desert zone after more than a decade, it was a let down.
>>719813792Anima deserved a proper trial.
>>719812472not to wow's extent, but xiv has probably hit medium level "too big to die" statusunless it gets actually really bad
>>719813136Its funny seeing the same 'All mmos are shit' posters in these threads, but they can't explain why a particular mmo is shit. I just don't think the genre is for you.
>>719791383Made for being bred by seeker dick.
I need to jerk off.
>>719813098I get the lalafells
>>719804334Yoship just wants her around for possible mascot appearances. He's more of an Alisaiefag and all-around lalafag anyway isn't he?>>719813502I mean we've barely even seen Y'shtola in DT anyway. Always felt like she got a short end of the stick in writing, and guarantee many of the female devs don't like her.
>>719814838>He's more of an AlisaiefagI didn't know yoship was based
>>719814838He considers Alisaie the canon wife and all Japs are Lalafags, yes.>>719814868NA retards shit a brick when he called her 'the waifu' on a live letter in EW.
>>719811992What good is catering to the ~5% of the playerbase who want to do ultimates? I get that it is prestige content, but after the FT mishap, they really need to get their shit together and go back to making some more casual stuff, otherwise OC is even more fuck than it already is.
>>719814838>many of the female devs don't like her>HIroi wrote DT and EW patchessighhhhhhh
>>719814838>Always felt like she got a short end of the stick in writingThat is every expansion, 6.1 was an oversight by them. I think Yoshida even said he was afraid they overdid it with Y'shtola in that patch.
>>719814998I'll say it again but Yoship is afraid to do anything daring with Yshtola since she's the poster waifu marketing machine.
>>719814868>makes alisaie call wuk 'lamaty'i'oh no
>>719814998>>719815108You think some random writer got a scene together under Yoshi-P's nose and implemented it without his knowing or approval?And I bet that same dev put in Honey B Lovely since Yoshi-P allegedly hates her too?
>>719815275WoL pumped and dumped Wuk
>>719815341Yes. He's not a writer after all and I guess he doesn't watch the cutscenes until after the patch is out.
>>719813098Femroe? Femlander? Au Ra? Viera? Miqo'te? Elezen? Lalafell? Lupin? Dragon? Hrothgar? Loporrit? Lizard? Ananta? Yandere Chicken? Snake? Cat? Moogle? Pelupelu? Robot?I don't care.If it is female I will fuck it.
>>719814868>>719814894And it's ashamed since Alisaie is the precursor for what Zero and Wuk would be, given that from ShB on she constantly needs to be the center of attention even when she has no logical reason to be.>>719814974Hiroi seems like a cuck who enjoys writing personal mary sues but within safe parameters. Would also of course point out how near every female character that isn't a lala is quickly written out of the story, usually via death. Still remember how hilarious it was that everyone called Sphene out as dead/dying from the second she was seen in the poster.
>>719815504: |
>>719815503At least tell me a gag was involved.
>>719809132>Alisaie in flip flopsSexoooooo
>>719814464Sauce?
>>719815779>the devs hate women>Endwalker patches and Dawntrail both have prominent female characters in the leading roles>I wanted waifu focus but not like this NOOOWuk is probably Yoship's waifu as well.
>>719809132why is shtola so muscular
Where's the Wuk figure?
>>719816339Cute. Are these selling for 80 dollars
>>719816339the binnow where's my venat figure
>>719812363People have been hella weird about wording from him lately. The faggot streamers are going on about “OMG HE’S ALWAYS APOLOGIZING.” and I feel like I’m the only one that noticed Japanese always says “thank you” or “we apologize” a LOT for anything. He’ll look at the maintenance updates, whenever it ends early they say “we apologize for the inconvenience”
>>719816478Mama is asleep
>>719816595Fuck Nirvana.
>>719816339In my mind's eye I can see the bad paint finishes on the hair
>>719807869No it wasn't you covid migrant. A lot of people did it for more than just relic weapons and it was being actively run all the way until Endwalker. Bozja was a lot more popular than Eureka had ever been.
>>719816568>streamer Its Japanese culture to apologize constantly. They can talk about it in the 14 1.0 documentary.
Dark knight is the most fun tankAlso please let me date Y’schtola
>>719816647>No it wasn'tYeah it was. Wanna look up the forum posts?Wanna look up the reason why EW didn't have a foray?
>>719815341>Honey B Lovely since Yoshi-P allegedly hates her too>Hates the scene with Y'shtola that people liked>Hates Honey B. Lovely who people likedHe really does not know what the waifu player base wants.
>>719816647>it was being actively run all the way until EndwalkerIt was fast leveling wasn't it?
>>719805018>ShB baby doesn't mention Eureka the best content FFXIV ever had to offeryou killed the game
>>719816716He's mad you didn't waifu Wuk
>>719816680She’d call you adorable for trying but would decline.
>>719816716Maybe the fact that all these things are in the game despite faggots neurotically exclaiming that YoshiP hates them with all his heart and will never add them again should give you an indication that it's not so severe.
I will say it.I would totally fuck Wuk.She’s cute.
>>719816696>forum postsLel. I was there and I cleared all the duels when they were relevant.>>719816729At the end of the expansion it was for the leveling, but midway, a lot of people liked doing CLL for the lost actions so they could do more shit out in the general area. There was a balanced mix of people that just liked the battle content, people that only did it for the relic weapons and the levelers. Obviously towards the end of the expansion that balance skewed, but the way OC had been received cannot even be compared to Bozja, because Bozja had none of the issues OC has.
>>719816271>female characters that look like attractive women are disliked>female characters that can pass as boys or are furries are likedNot hard to figure out.
>>719809210unironically datable and marriage options for scions
>I will say it.>I would totally fuck Wuk.>he cute.
>>719816908>Lel. I was there and I cleared all the duels when they were relevant.You know people can say the same about OC, right? Or Dawntrail as a whole?
>>719816997This would be horribly unbalanced given the ratio of men to women.
>>719791383okay, why are the xiv posters more active? game population is down and trends are also down? just bunch of samefags? the recent patch trailer has like 130k views and down in basic every metric. this post has been up for 5 hours and barely has 204 replies. so its either 3-5 guys that replies to themselves in attempt to gain false popularity (why?) or they just sad over the fact that dawntrail msq killed their population because ff14 is just a story game
>>719817028>.gifBros I’m scared, it’s not movi
>>719817050what difference would it make since it only affects you the player
>>719817029OC has no duels, so no, they can't. OC also doesn't have a normal mode, it only has the equivalent of Delubrum Reginae Savage. Very few people wanted to do DRS in Bozja, only dedicated statics and Discord based groups attempted that. What do you get out of spreading these stupid fucking lies that anyone that had actually played the game at the time can easily disprove?
>>719817028Got a tranny banned today ingameAt least the Square Support is pretty based in this game.
>>719816997I remember Yoshi said they would only do that if the game is actually going to die >>719817050They pick npcs duh

>>719816647>Bozja was a lot more popular than Eureka had ever been.ShB babies really think their mind numbing FATE grind brown zone was goodEureka was packed when it was relevant and it had 144 player instances instead of the weak 72 player instances of BozjaEureka also wasn't endless running around doing the same dogshit FATEs over and over

>>719817262I started playing during Stormblood, I had zero interest in Eureka because it was far too autistic for my liking. Try again.
>>719817398i like autistic content, faggotgo play a different genre, you clearly hate mmos
Eureka was the best content that has ever existed in XIV, and it's never been topped. The irony is that it was a mini XI inside the game, but zoomers and trannys get mindbroken when you make the connection for them.
>>719817056>numbersfag>eslbwo...
>>719817367>Forays do not have modesSo how do you explain Delubrum Reginae and Delubrum Reginae Savage? Am I being trolled right now? Or are you just pretending to be retarded? Which is it?>>719817467No other MMO had the autism of Eureka, fuck off, I've played them all from UO to L2 to Silkroad, to L2 to fucking Mu Online and Ragnarok Online and WoW, you know fuck all about mmo games.
>>719817492what do you think made eureka so good that bojza/OC failed at delivering? genuinely asking
>>719805018>I don't even think the game is in that bad of a spot.game literally have lost over 1m subs and currently sits at 880k...probably 820 or 790k right now if the lucky Branco numbers comes out. That is a perfect example of a bad spot. This will cause the next expansion to sell less copies than dawntrail, which will cause budget cuts, which wil cause slower update rate.
>>719817563>So how do you explainThose are raids.Bozja and Occult Crescent are forays.
>>719817563>No other MMO had the autism of Eurekadid you play FFXI? no? i can tell
>>719817123I mean in that there are 5 male scions and 3 female ones. And that's not getting into how 'problematic' it may be to date Krile as a non-lala player or Y'shtola for fujos.>>719817195This would be the easier option. Have some NPCs who have no role in the MSQ. Main question would be if they are new NPCs specifically for dating or old ones who aren't doing anything like inevitably Erenville.
I love all forays except for OC not having a CLL equivalent
>>719817615it wasn't an endless hamster wheel of FATE grinding. there were people all over the zone doing different things, it felt like a living, breathing MMO
Forays suckDungeons are fun, trials are fun, raids can be fun or miserable, bit of a coin flip there
>>719817648XI is a shitty mmo with a trash UI that can only be played comfortably through third party addons and endless macros. You have to be autistic just to start playing it. >>719817638And those forays contain raid instances within them. Stop splitting hairs you useless fuck.
>>719816871It’s not even that he “hated” Honey B. It’s that idol stuff “isn’t my thing”, his words.

>>719817746>Dungeons are fun
>>719817662Instead of like plap plap romance, they could take a page from pre-Awakening Fire Emblem and have “Support” levels. Which now that I think about it, it’s basically what custom deliveries was.
>>719817746>dungeonspull 2 packs and spam aoe -> kill boss while ignoring all mechanics>trials kill boss while stacking in light parties or spreading>raidsthe only content out of these with actual mechanics that engage the playeryour opinions are retarded
>>719817810Nah, but that means he hates it and he wants to kill her and whoever created her and he will never make a single character like her again.
>>719791383DANG
>>719817825>can't win an argument>resorts to bad faith deflectionI accept your concession. Those raid instances are parts of forays and as such are part of the discussion concerning them. The biggest complaint aimed at OC was its absence of "normal mode" content equivalent to DR or CLL where failure of an individual wouldn't punish the entire raid because someone hasn't spent 100 hours practicing it in a simulator. You may go now, I grant you the gift of the last post.
They won't do dateable npcs because something something character integrity and they don't want to make every character bisexual.
>>719817760>XI is a shitty mmo with a trash UI that can only be played comfortably through third party addons and endless macros. You have to be autistic just to start playing it.>t. zoomertrannyOpinion discarded. XI is the best MMO in existence, while XIV isn't even an MMO.
>>719818014>aislop
>>719809210People don't realize that the fundamental problem with video game development is that it's a job. We're all on /v/, we can say this safely - jobs suck, always, no matter what. Even if it's your dream job, all you can think about all day is getting home. Being a NEET rocks.So MMOs will always be bad because of the conflict between the developers, who do it for a living, and the players, who do it for fun. There's no way to fix this, because you can't just make a fucking MMO for fun. In order to put in that level of work over that length of time, there needs to be financial support (which you are at risk of losing if you don't perform). Our current society isn't set up for other modes of production. In short, our only hope would be to institute communism and wait a generation or two to see if communist education and a communist environment (lack of profit motive) will produce people who are capable of making a high quality video game purely for the love of the craft. Otherwise, there's nothing.

It's funny that people still think Yoshi-P has anything to do with this game other being a figure head and traveling around the world and appearing at events.

How on earth do you play this version of BLM anyways?
>>719818335Same as before, you just don't have to worry about the timer now
>>719818214you actually explore and travel the world instead of quests being "teleport > run to POI marked on your map > kill nonthreatening mob" ad infinitum and bosses are also found out in the world and aren't just "click menu to queue up and kill boss in circular arena"
>>719818138Of course. People like her only ever fail upward.

>>719818135>everyone in ffxiv uses theseI don't. Furthermore, you don't need them, unlike in XI>you mean like a hotbar with hotkeys for your abilities?No, like gear swapping macros to be able to perform. You can't even auto attack normally without macros in XI, being forced to spam /targetnpc or having /autotarget. This is not something a new player will know how to execute and it is not taught in any tutorials. Why are you being intentionally disingenuous? Put a normal person in front of fresh level 1 character in XI and make them try and play the game, they wouldn't even be able to figure out how to start attacking npc's outside of their chosen city. This is not good game design. XI is a shit mmo and I'm sick of stupid cultists like you that suck its dick because it's obtuse. XIV at least has people that call out its dogshit game design decisions, but all your kind does is praise this shit game.>so it's really good thenNo, being obsessively pedantic and useless outside of one particular field is not actually a good thing.

>>719818756Unique isnt better, there is a reason people hate early dungeons with a passion and those early dungeons especially have their mechanics ignored entirelySure later dungeons are simple dodge the funny circle shit but if you dont do that you eat shitAs for trials, certainly not the fucking story ones thats for sure
>>719818979xD
>>719818983>and i don't care about modern FFXIlul
>>719819007modern dungeons aren't remotely as hard as hard mode ARR dungeons were when they were current content
>>719818681so what exactly is their plan to protect people from hate? force all devs to get off social media so they can't say stupid shit and then get told in mass that they're stupid? or so they can't have their prior words thrown in their face if a game flops? it's always online so literally how do they plan to shield these retards from posting retard shit on their social media?
>>719816680>Dark knight is the most fun tanklol, lmao even. Dark knight is a horrible job right now. >b-but muh speedruns!nobody cares.

>>719805018Except they relaxed the restrictions on DC travel. It's actually my favorite feature of 7.3. Now I can travel to any server on Aether at any time of the day.
>>719816680DK and GNB are both absolute ass to play right now. Somehow they made PLD tolerable and WAR will always be the most fun even if its technically not optimal which who gives a fuck about that.
>>719818974She's doubling down as well, she's replying there in that post to Alyssa Mercante who is a disgraced former editor of Kotaku and is absolute nuclear grade cancer when it comes to identity politics, she has a long history of drama and drama whoring. They're talking about Zoe Quinn who is just another level of absolutely batshit insane weapons grade retard that should be stayed away from altogether, she caused Gamergate and has driven a man to suicide.It's not that these people exist which bother me, I know they do but the fact that the lead localiser/ lore consultant for FF14 is actively messaging them on her public account after publicaly calling for the end of people she disagrees with politically.It's really something insane. How she's still employed at SE at this point can only come to mean they agree with and support her and her politics.
>>719819219Except I didnt say anyting about modern dungeons being hard, I said that ignoring the mechanics kills you, which they doBeing hard doesnt make them good either, not then and not now.
>>719819506Didnt she add a little snippet to her bio that now says "btw my opinion have nothing to do with the company I work for" aka "Please dont report me to my boss haha"
>>719819506>>719819732so report her to her boss
>>719819612ignoring mechanics would kill you and the party in ARR dungeons you said "unique isn't better" earlier so i don't even know why i'm arguing with you, you think doing the same thing every time with a different scenery in the background is good
I just got ninja to 100 despite only being in post shadowbringers mq at what point should i learn a real rotation instead of just mashing every skill off gcd until all that's not on cd is the main combo
>>719819470that's a band aid fix that will become an issue again once XIV gets a population surge (IE 8.0). Again, they just need to figure out how to make cross DC queueing/PF work. That's the only way to fix the issue.
>>719819839>mashing every skill off gcdthat is the real rotation for every job in xiv
>>719819494old PLD was better though. I liked how much min maxing there was on the class and the alternating physical/magic rotations made the class unique. Not a fan of Fight or Flight just being a generic 'buff everything' damage buff.

>>719816680Romance will never happen but Y'shtola is the most fitting partner for the WoL
>>719819790Yes, dodging circles is perfectly fine for dungeonsDungeons arent meant to be deep, having them look nice and varied helps but ultimately theyre just a little disney ride to be completed without much stress, which also not quite making you fall asleep, which is what anything pre-StB does and honestly some of StB as well.

>>719821279>stamina limits prevented you from playing the game despite paying a subYou have no idea how that system actually worked, so stop talking out of your ass. Your actual character strength came from your physical level, which did not earn fatigue. Fatigue was per class, and leveling a class only earned you new skills to equip. It didn't actually enhance your strength at all. You could also reset fatigue by leveling another class, which you wanted to do to unlock those necessary skills anyway. You know what actually halts your progression? Tomestone caps and loot lockouts.

>>719821727Depending on what it is, yeah.
>>719821669If they would have kept 1.0 and built off of it, the game would be fucking dead by now
>>719821043>their own take on a M+Maybe as odd patch content. I really fucking hate it in WoW because it wrecked the gearing curve. Now it's impossible for them to tune Mythic raids for gear progression because it has to start out tuned for HoF guilds coming at it in full max ilvl M+ gear. It leaves almost no room for natural progression so the alternative turned into really aggressive waves of nerfs on the bosses. I quit my old very competitive Mythic guild pretty early in Legion because I simply could not keep up with the sheer volume of M+ we were running.Maybe it's less of a problem because XIV is a lot more tightly tuned and people don't care as much about clear rank, but I'd really prefer if we stayed in a "get gear from the raid to progress the raid" system.
>>719821518Ah yes.... xiv with its improved graphics, twice over even.
>>719821760noplay gooners? I fear im not familiar with the term but I could wager a guess from the name.Well who are you passionate about anon? I'm a little curious now as you seem helpful and can hold a conversation. Drop your list I guess, is that what you people do? maybe in the trash thread
>>719821853>implying it isn'tWe'd be better off if FFXIV had died years ago, so they could move on to a better MMO with actual gameplay and giraffics.
>>719821043The people who hated it in M+ probably quit playing since it is or was so very central. Survivorship bias and all.Scalable content can be nice, but the way they did it in WoW was lazy slop, and cancer.
>>719821896>twice over?
>>719822007>>implying it isn'tparty finder is full of parties still so i'm not sure how you define "dead"
>>719822007I'll straight say itthe game isn't deadIts not in a great state, but nothing like how bad it was during 1.X
>>719822007Such as?Every single new MMO is either completely barren or a monetization nightmare. Or both.
>>719821727No. It's going to be 'balanced' despite it being a limited job, meaning it'll be like BLU where most of the skills it has is basically the same as another skill just with a different coat of paint. Not only that, but they can barely keep up with updating BLU as it is.
>>719822007It isn't. Your meme "DT killed it" death is like several grades above how horrendously 1.0 performed.
>>719821727I wish they NEVER bothered with limited jobsI WANT A FULL BLU JOB YOU FUCKS
>>719821896Eorzean (et al.) vegetation never figured out how to grow on steep inclines...One of those bizarre geological epochs like before fallen trees could decompose.
>>719822007^ This.

>>719821913>noplay gooners? I fear im not familiar with the term but I could wager a guess from the name.People who goon/talk horny shit or just want to be seen posting that kind of stuff but don't actually RP.>Well who are you passionate about anon? It's probably better if I don't divulge that here. Plus, given the work required to get a functional profile, there are some characters I consider somewhat appealing that I don't play because it's not enough to warrant profile creation and all the baggage that comes with it.
>>719821727It should have been a regular job. I don't know how but better than viper

>>719822074woahhh
i started playing this game in 2021 and it was peak but now it kinda fell off so I think it should just die off i'm bored of itwhy are you guys still talking about it?
>>719822463Don't feed me 6 year old bait
>>719822231Full tme BLU would be just PCT.
>>719809210>Complete EXP nerfIf you want levels you have to work for them and interact with the game's systems, be that side quests, leves, FATEs or whatever else.>Remove NPC materia meldersMateria's a system that's pretty negligible for casual play, so locking it behind a social interaction or crafter grind encourages you to branch out somewhat while not getting in the way of people who just wanna do the story and dip>remove job gaugesJob gauges are a bit of a blight on the class design cause they ensure every job needs to be about the build up and expenditure of resources in order to justify their existence>Add a huge optional grind to the gameSomething that even if you play every day it'll still take you at least 3-4 weeks to complete, ideally taking you back to old dungeons and areas to repopulate them>more benefits for playing with your FCSomething like a buff to EXP or damage in roulettes for each member of your FC you play with would promote more social playOk that's about all I could think of without getting too wild with it.

>>719813223You guys are setting yourself up for disappointment if youre holding on to that quote of yoshida saying shit he immediately forgot for the next year and a half.
>>719822379Ah I see. Oh dear anon, you've made me even more curious now and I fear I really want to know which characters now, maybe we'll have some crossover. That and if you like Gaia enough then I must insist we chat in private sometime, if you have the means.
>>719822231ask them to make a toggle that turns BLU into a regular job on the side (it will lose all of its appeal since it'll have to fit into the regular job box in that mode)
>>719822617He said this recentlyWhether you believe him or not is another thing
>>719822676>"and if we made those adjustments, then eventually we would get the same kind of feedback that we wouldn't be able to satisfy all the players"knower
>>719822676>He said [completely empty PR statement]wowI'm sure looking forward to it
>>719821727There's nothing to be excited about because we know nothing.
>>719822676>you all are gonna bitch anyway, so we're making the game that gets us the most money
>>719822676The scions sure were divided.
Yep, it’s official: FFXIV won. I mean, have you seen the state of retail? Exactly. Besides, FFXIV is the only MMO that lets you play Silksong because it respects your time. We like this, I like this, you like this, we all like Silksong, and FFXIV is the best MMO for that.
I hope FFXIV mobile gets a pc port
>>719817615Not him but cohesive design. You wanted something from Eureka? You went in to Eureka. It wasn't hard for letting epic raiders, there weren't alternatives outside the foray for lazy casuals, zone each patch, lost actions spicing up jobs, relic grind is the best designed to date because it strictly encourages playing new content and your only bottleneck were drops from final fate of each zone.
>>719822676What did he actually say? He's given a bunch of interviews at Gamescom which amount to a sum total of fuck all actual, concrete information being transferred. Prove me wrong, tell me what information he has provided that is about FF14 and some future feature, or story point, or gameplay feature that he has committed on delivering.
>>719822741Would you rather another>OMG guys Island Sanctuary is gonna be ANIMAL CROSSING!!situation?They are gonna hold any info until later, likely FanFest earliest
>>719822741>>719822828>The things Yoshida says only count when I can spin them as a bad thing but when I can't then they don't mean anything because remember when he didn't add Ramuh egi?
>>719822737The irony being he keeps making decisions that only serve to try and satisfy every player
Yoshida is a bigger liar than Todd at this point
>>719822441>*joins your Necron EX group without ever having done my job quests*>*on WHM*
>>719822936>OMG guys Island Sanctuary is gonna be ANIMAL CROSSING!!Wasn't it Zepla who said that?
>>719822591The [flight] revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the [environment density] race.
Yoshi should forever ignore people who only care about stuff like ultimate fights
>>719822951Imagine simping for yoshida of all people
>>719822823I mean at the end of the day he's right.As much as people glorify HW job design nowadays the common sentiment back then was that level 60 jobs were way too complicated compared to their level 50 version.Even now you still see pushback against the idea of giving BRD cast times, what could they possibly do to spice up the playstyle of that job?
>>719823154too bad, we're getting an epic ultimate based on Hades and the other ascians in 7.5, and we're getting THREE ultimates in 8.X
>>719823169I don't need to simp for Yoshida or anyone to call out inconsistencies and dishonesty.Why is it that you can only conceive of someone simping for Yoshida if they call you a hypocrite?
>>719823270Thank you yoshi sama, please add a 2 hour lock out to dungeons too if you wipe once at any point
>>719823225They should just make it like PvP where you have cast times but can move
>>719823225Of course he's right. But I guess he's just going to have to tread the needle to find the right amount of unique vs balance that most people will be somewhat happy with it. You can never please everyone.
>>719823154Good thing Yoshida listens to people that actually play the best content in the game.
>phoenix down healer 85%>he teleports to spawnMotherfucker
>>719823305>Yoshida saying "it could mean that players get less content" = 100% confirmed less contentAlso>Yoshida saying "We have something really big planned regarding jobs." = PR speak, not happeningKind of funny
>>719823526Even now there's people bitching about dungeons being too hard every patch.
>>719823553Its true thats why we got forays back
>>719823635That's hilarious.For what it's worth, I love the second boss of the 7.3 dungeon.
>>719823604yes, companies aren't your friends and interviews are PR stunts, not legally binding contracts. you should approach everything said with as much cynicism as possible. is there a problem?
>>719823305>I don't need to simp for Yoshida or anyone to call out inconsistencies and dishonesty.Okay, when are you starting?
>>719823604Yoshida said Honey B. Lovely wasn't his type of character. He hates her and wants everyone who likes her killed and he will never let Honey B. Lovely exist in the game at any point anymo->Honey B. Lovely is fairly prominent in the Cruiserweight cutscenesA fluke. That was made before he solidified his stance on her.
>>719823703I can just withhold judgement until I actually see what happens
>>719823676Unfortunately not duels nor CLL.
>>719822917This was actually shit design because locking away the big grind of an expansion behind unique, instanced content meant that every piece of content that wasn't Eureka was completely dead since everyone was too busy doing Eureka.You logged on and all your friends were in Eureka uncontactable, hub zones other than the Kugane pier were completely desolate, basically anything that wasn't a story dungeon took years to pop.I don't really come to XIV to play a FATE train simulator, 95% of the game's content is not aboit that, yet Eureka forced the expansion's endgame experience to revolve around that 5%
>>719823598>cant Phoenix down in MSQ roulette
>>719823814>it was bad because it made you actually play the game outside roulettes
>>719823886Really?
>>719823758When are *you* starting?Also housing demolition wasn't always a thing and players asked for it because of the scarcity of available houses, retard.
>>719823814And yet you're ok with 99% of the content being in even shorter instances you queue into? Fucking retard.
>>719823814Oh no limsa was empty, how will your glams be appreciated now
>>719791383god bless this artist
>>719799717Ryne is best girlY'shtola is great but not even in the top 10. The problem is this game has too many good waifus.
>>719823676>Eureka was so good they made 2 other forays riding on it's success>Neither came close to the magic of EurekaIt's time to scrap the content. It's a waste of dev time at this point that could be better spent on more Ultimates.
>>719824124>that could be better spent on more Ultimates.swallow several dicks
>>719823814>people do new content because it's good and new>this is bad design according to lalafell players
>>719823938The content roulettes put you into is what the game is about.The MSQ never puts you into an exploratory zone and tells you to grind out 50 FATEs, but it does put you through a plethora of dungeons.That should be the main content, stuff like Eureka is fine as a distraction but it shouldn't be the main endgame activity.>>719823973Short instance stuff means you still regularly pop back into the social part of the game every 20 minutes or so to interact with other people and maybe queue in with them after you see them come online, you're not idling for 2 hours waiting for FATEs to pop in a completely isolated area.
>>719823553Really need to be careful with that though. If he can sort out actual feedback from faggots who want job design totally uniform just so raid comp won't hurt their logs, it's fine.
>>719824124>Add actual height and cliffs>Add insta kill dragons in important pathwaysThats all the soul there is to add from eureka
>>719823945You can't, at least in Ultima. Just truid it last night.
>>719824238People did not do it because it was good lol they did it because the relic was locked behind it.If you didn't do Eureka there was literally nothing to do because the relic was the only expansion-wide grind.
>>719824253I see you took the time to craft this bait but its still shit. F- you're being sent back to /a/
there will come a time where people will clamor to get dawntrail backlet that sink in

>currently getting groomed by single-mom modbeastI dont know how to feel
>>719823814>I don't really come to XIV to play a FATE train simulatorYou should've loved Eureka then, its FATEs were rare pops that you rushed to get to whenever one came up.
>>719824124Even if some forays are more popular than others, any time spent on them is 1000 times more valuable than a second spent on another ultroonmate.
>>719809210fix whatever is going on with the writing teamyou can't fix anything they've done to fuck up the plot and/or lore, but I've seen enough long-running fiction where you take 5 minutes to handwave the bullshit and distract us with something good that it can definitely be salvaged. The next plotline should be more grounded. Even if they fucking insist on us saving the world instead of having a beach episode, I want a smaller scale.Unlimited exp cap so I can just watch numbers get big for grinding shit I would have grinded anyway. Exp leaderboards if they go that route would be nice.They also need to retroactively keep adding a reward to all old content. Something to get people playing abandoned shit constantly.

>>719824408A lot say DT is the best aside from story which is pretty untrue. I think Cruiserweight Savage is pretty solid but not worth waiting 9 months after DT. Alliance raids are still too afraid to really commit. Dungeons are just an afterthought since SHB and trusts.
>>719824396>>719824414>>719824421Absolutely 0 argument, great job guys.I'm sure the novelty of 15 new braindead FATE bosses with like a single mechanic each really was worth completely destroying the social aspect of the game and most of its legacy content for an entire expansion.
>>719824480Enjoy it while you can because you will be cringing about it for the rest of your lifet. knower
>>719824742This argument would hold water if you weren't just a troon hanging out in your discord vc
>>719824714It's best compared to anything we got in recent memory.And since HW was a content abortion, it doesn't stack up either.
>>719824253>Short instance stuff means you still regularly pop back into the social part of the game every 20 minutes or so to interact with other peopleEureka is the most social area in the entire game.
>>719824891>lfp pazuzu>tyfpWow... so social
>>719824742>completely destroying the social aspect of the game and most of its legacy content for an entire expansion.???
>>719824891He's spends his time erping in his FC small house, he had no way of knowing that
The real endgame is Crystalline Conflict (Ranked).
>>719825003You never played it. Keep your mouth shut.
>>719825020i want dark knights to die
>>719825020>lose one single fight>quitWere you castrated as a child, or did you wait until you were older to give it up willingly?

>>719825042I did play it, I played it from launch until Hydatos, every single new zone on release.Yeah I participated in some shout banter sometimes, but wanna know one thing that never happened? I never added someone from Eureka to my friends list.
>>719825198>I did play it, I played it from launch until Hydatos, every single new zone on release.You didn't.>I never added someone from Eureka to my friends list.Well yeah, because you didn't play it. When was the last time you added someone from a dungeon to your friends list?
>>719822562what about a sex with Spinelli minigame
>>719825136I wish they never added PvPWaste of resources for small gain that it isThey really chased WoW too much
>>719825198This larp is getting embarrassing
>Eureka was... LE BAD!!.. because.. because it didn't save or change the underlying game!!!Brilliant argument, truly.
>>719825020I have no idea how anyone enjoys xiv pvp. I can barely tell what the fuck is happening most of the time.
>>719825009If you don't incentivize people to do old content they won't do it.If you don't incentivize people to hang out in the in-game hubs they don't do it - in Eureka's defense Rhalgr's Reach was uniquely awful in both design and visuals so like I guess that one was doomed regardless but still.
>Queue for alliance raid>Finish the duty>23 people, no friend requestswooooooooooow what useless content that takes time away from the social aspect of the game. Yoshida stop making this content
sex with Zero my wife Zero
>>719825364cc is mostly okayfrontlines is cancerespecially with DRK stacking/premades
>>719825437what is this... sex... ? is it like buuz?
FFXIV has always had a dogshit social element. Duty finder content is too braindead and raids are too restrictive. With only 8 people in the party you can't really afford to bring someone along who isn't pulling their weight, which heavily encourages forming locked in static parties.
>>719825495I never tried CC admittedly. I only did Frontline to unlock that hairstyle that costs wolf marks.
>>719825270>>719825423Dungeons and raids are quick bursts of content you do with people you meet outside of them.Can't exactly do that when you're not spending any time outside of instances though.
>>719825437>sex with Zero my wife Zero
>>719809210The writing needs to change is is clearly being affected by western influence even though people said it was a conspiracy before.The lockout it uses for great is insantly archaic for how long the content cycles are and needs to be changed to promote more rewards for raiding on different jobs. Job design has suffered heavily recently IE whatever SMN is right now. Make more slutty gear for the casuals since all they wanna do is ERP or socialize.
>>719825020What's with the MDE World peace?
>>719825576It's still PvP, which is to say it's cancer (I hate all PvP in all MMOs).But it's 4x4 which is a little less cancerous than the three-way gangbang of frontlines.God I fucking hate dark knights. I hate them.
>Do MSQ>Got 0 friend requestsUseless content, remove it
>>719825603>Dungeons and raids are quick bursts of content you do with people you meet outside of them.You don't do dungeons with people you meet outside of them. You do dungeons in roulettes with strangers you will never say a word to.>Can't exactly do that when you're not spending any time outside of instances though.Yes you can, because Eureka has several types of content in it and a thriving social scene where you can actually make friends on the fly and go do shit together.
>>719825906no, eureka is full of control freaks that want to be the ones controlling spawns. its just a branch off of hunt discords
>>719825576Yeah it's definitely easier to tell what's going on in small scale fights, personal responsibility and is a lot higher as well.
>never speak to anyone>Wonder why you aren't making friends
>>719825906>You don't do dungeons with people you meet outside of them. You do dungeons in roulettes with strangers you will never say a word to.Did you actually play this game before Stormblood?
>>719826003I say henlo and then say no thanks
>>719825603how do you meet people outside of content? i'm not on an rp server and i'm not going to talk to limsa creatures. everyone i've ever met in ffxiv was from raids or forays
>>719826003i have that one in meme form
>>719826037I did. There was a time when you sat in Mor Dhona or Wineport and talked to the people on your server and made friends to do content with. That died before Stormblood or Eureka. You do not do dungeons with people you meet outside them. You queue into a roulette, don't say a word, don't even look at the names of the people you're running with, finish up, leave silently, and never think about those people again.
>>719826126Saved and thanks
>>719825748Not so much in recent expansions since I just do all the content as it releases now, but most people on my friends list are actually people who I found doing the same bits of the MSQ as I was and shooting the shit with them back when I was still catching up on the story.
>>719826003in my defensei don't wanna make new friends ingame. that time is behind mebut i do try to have a chat when someone tries. i just don't really bother to add new people to the friends list
>>719826215
>>719826279why does Nanamo's expression turn me on
>>719826037People jerking off hank idling in the mor dhona bench isn't socializing
>>719826346Because you're a 40+ transsexual.
>>719826346>when she sees it
>>719826173Why would you do this and risk getting stuck with a shitter PLD that spams Rage of Halone in gear 80 item levels too low instead of the competent members of your FC that can make the roulettes a breeze and the queues a non-factor?
>>719826467FCs don't exist anymore, they're hubs to issue out discord links, or submarine farms.
>>719824842Its the exact same for the most part, but a lot of things like Chaotic and OC are duds.
>>719826565OC is palatable. if FT weren't a complete and total bust it would still have people in it
>>719826565HW didn't have anything in their place, though. Nor for CE.It really just had dungeon spam and raiding until PoTD.
>>719826467How is what you're suggesting different than queueing with friends in OC and chatting while doing the content. Is it because it doesn't count in your narrative.
>>719826467Jack missed Rage of Halone
>>719826467sometimes, shitters in dungeons can make the dungeons more fun than people who do everything right with machine precision every time
one complaint i do have with the new relic is that its flooding roulettes with experienced players. not that thats bad, but i'm not getting any khloe points
>>719826173No one complains about this in regards to Monster Hunter. Is the monthly fee aspect why you demand socialization?
>>719826916Monster Hunter isn't an MMO, it's a lobby co-op game.
>>719826959Same as FF14.
>>719826903Some alliance raids are going faster than what I even thought was possible. Red Girl at less than 30% before the minigame.
>>719827087oh yeah. i got orbonne's and we skipped armor crush on cid and the maze phase of ultima
>>719827087I saw wicked thunder die so fast I never thought it was possible
>>719827087I want to play a minigame with Red Girl if you're picking up what I'm putting down here
>>719820150Literally the same but just the shade of skin is changed
