wuk lamat is the key to all this. because she's a funnier character than we've had before, if we can just get wuk lamat working...
I will expect less content for more money with longer delays for my subscribed service. I will apologize and switch the english dub. They are theater actors and I will apologize to their elevated performances. I will applaud more westernized writing choices because I am an adult. I will remain subbed even when I only long in for 5 minutes a day to check my ventures.
>>723178085E33 BROKE him.
>>723179006Pretty sure his backwards "we don't want to be JRPGS" mentality is what broke everyone's collective faith in his ability to deliver a good game. What a regressive retard.

>>723179604NTAIt has been a quite some time since I played but here's what I think:It's the best for socializing/RP thanks to the partyfinder system acting as a craigslist for finding people/venues with similar tastes as yoursOut of all the different endgame systems I've tried, I like the core of FFXIV's where its just a series of boss fights that you have to learn very well in order to kill them. So then instead of spending hours every night running through a raid, you instead spend maximum 40 minutes-ish to get all your boss kills.Also it had the best story. Not so sure on that one anymore. I've been hearing a lot of bad. I took a break awhile back because my static disbanded because a few people just didn't have time to get together anymore and we didn't feel like replacing them.

It really is just a fantasy second life but somehow even more self indulgent. 66% of the characters are running around in kpop and or like hyper modern suits and punk outfits.

>>723180140My only problems with him is that he either goes too overboard sometimes, lacking in subtlety and simplicity AND that he tries do "modernize" shit, FF1 world felt better when it was high fantasy like Amano's art rather than fuckers with MP3 players and modern day clothing.>B-But the city in the sky and the robots!!!That was in ONE part of the game and it didn't reflect the current technological advancements, it was a "lost civilization" type of shit and it felt more like Mobius rather than Nomura shit.

>>723182424my WoL in the middle
How would (you) fix FFXIV?
>>723182867No, but I was running the ivalice raids over the weekend and got stuck in a party with the most annoying ERP dingleberries who unfortunately were good at directing the newer players on their first runs.
>>723183018Mor wuk lamat
>>723178085Barry Won
>>723183018Get rid of the "party" that is the scions. But for real this time and not "oh we're back" every 10 minutes.
>>723183018Don't add any new levels beyond 100, do horizontal progression insteadRelease half as much MSQ in 8.0 and include some minigames and stuff to break up the story grindIntegrate foray mechanics into the overworld instead of fatesRelease the first relic step in 8.05Make some content like hamlet defense where crafters and gatherers can help battle jobsMassive job design overhaul to focus on depth and uniqueness instead of balance
>>723183546Agree with everything outside of the MSQ It should still be 95% singleplayer content, just more engaging, any all of the ancillary multiplayer stuff in my jrpg is just that
>>723182867I do like to prod at the guys who are clearly right on the edge of sperging out about something
>>723183626That train combat cutscene should have been an Air Force One minigame. The cooking contest could have had a minigame. Several other good opportunities. It's boring as fuck having just cutscenes and dialogue boxes, I want more puzzles. Not forced multiplayer stuff though because there are people like you who play it as a JRPG, and the MSQ needs to be playable even on a 3am dead server in 2032.
>>723180959>musicmaybe Heavensward taken on its own>story200 hour mmo slop kek
finally...i can rest...
>>723183820I can agree with that. I don't dislike and exclude the multiplayer components. I spent plenty of time in Eureka/Bozja. But I heard the new midcontent for DT is a really bland if not shit.
>>723178085Where’d this narrative even come from that he’s crying all the time?>tearful from announcing EW delay for 2 weeks>tearful about Soken talking about his cancer treatment >tearful on ARR’s launch even 12 years agoThat’s it, that’s the 3 times.
>>723183976The new Foray needed to be amazing and it was like a 4/10, they didn't learn the right lessons from Bozja. Chaotic Alliance Raid was too hard to have longevity, phase 2 filtered all the casuals and made it unfun to reclear. The Deep Dungeon is really good though, IMO the best one in the game.
>>723184031>tearful when he congratulated hacker for being the world 1st savage raid clear>tearful when people said ff16 had no rpg elements
>>723180140He's godly at making monsters, I'm not a fan of anything else he does.>>723184031People always memeize and exaggerate things like boardwalk caricature artists.
>>723184167Well, at least there will be something to do when I get to that point.
>>723179124He's living 15-20 years in the past, where "J-(anything)" was actually used as a perjorative by mainstream western game journos. Those people are now completely irrelevant, and the boomers who think anything remotely anime is cringe have all fucked off.
>>723184349>headcanonWhat I cited was actual streamed events.
>>723181784>One more year of YawnfailJesus that is grim.
>>723184429I honestly didn't get it until I saw those kotaku and g4 clips I was too young to register when seeing them back then about how JRPG really was a slur, and forgetting the classic fatlus shitposting on /v/.You're right, and it's why he needs to ride off into the sunset. It's not even malicious it's just the inherent fact that he's not up to date with tastes and interests anno dominos 2025.
>>723179124What’s funny is Nomura said this first. When I pointed it out, Barry stopped posting about Yoshi-P saying it (the actual one, FF15 schizo)
>>723183018bench most of the scions, at most 1-2 per expansion, but have the Warrior of Light start alone firstadd (good) companions with personality, flaws and a character arclocations the WoL travels to need actual problems within their society or culturedo a level-squish (down to 50), also no more levels are needed really like the other anon said but level squish should happen either waymake jobs more unique, fuck balancing for the autistic raidniggers they'll complain about a 2% difference too and whine about rng-jobs having rng or losing a bit of uptime as a meleemake fights more interesting, this means not having to worry about optimizing encounters for the playersmaybe consider having a different person as producer or director or whatever so Yoshi-P can fully focus on FF17 if Square Enix lets him try italso if it were up to me I'd also bans mods out of spite but at this point it'd kill the game actually
>>723184408Same as when these streamers are saying “OMG SQUAREENIX IS APOLOGIZING ALL THE TIME” when it’s just their way of speaking. Like saying “we apologize for the inconvenience” when maintenance finishes early.
>>723184567>tearful when people use the term jrpg for his gamesso are all of mine
>>723184696Because western rpgs and jrpgs play differently. Western RPGs usually let you make your own character and dialogue choices and lets you make a morally ambiguous character if you want and usually more open ended.JRPGs just forces you to play as a K-Pop star in a railroaded story where its more of a movie than a game.
Literally who tubelord
>>723184873Good timing. >>723184696
>>723184874God, JRPGS are so much better it's unreal. Reading your post almost put me to sleep with how boring the last wrpgs I played were
>>723184873Look at this anon being tearful about Yoshi-P
>>723184597Probably a year and a few months. They were saying we'd get it before 2026 was over but I'm seeing a lot of games being delayed/slow on the tempo so I am rather skeptical. >>723184810With the streamers you understand (not like, but understand) it's because their business model is contingent purely on eyeballs. So sensationalism is the cheap and easy ploy (And may be in this case the only real ploy) to get viewers. I now realize the artificiality of>ITS SO OVER>WERE SO BACKIt wasn't an organic meme so much as a laypersons adopting the same histrionic 'everything is amazing' or 'everything is awful' that eceleb talking heads do.>>723184874One big issue that came to mind with JRPG vs WRPG is how WRPGS really celebrate the idea of multiple avenues to an issue. I can't think of a JRPG where you can, whereas you can name WRPGs till the cows come home with that, even if in some cases they are vapid (IE social check to make ME1's Sarus...Sarris? Whatever, an hero rather than fight you).
I hate Barry so fucking much. Watching people fall for his bots makes me hate him even more.
Square should just make a second life copy using the engine. They already have the audience.
>>723185119the last fan fest is next October. I highly fucking doubt the expansion is in November or December following that last fan fest, it's pure copium.Also pure copium is people thinking they'd shadow drop the expansion at the last fan fest. Shit's cooked, 2027 at earliest
>Everyone shitting on the franchise that hasnt had a passable game in 20 years and their terrible directors is Barry is there a fandom as mindbroken?
>>723185119Samefag, last bit being what hit me when I was in BG3 and I came across that cenobite-ass doctor in the mists. Hardest difficulty and his crew meant my shit would not be nice if they attacked me. But I was able to win the various stat/perk/ect checks to make him have his minions kill him. Ditto the bartender bloated guy in the same zone.In an XIV context think of Wuk Evu the bipolar woodworking Hrothgar. There's only a single avenue to do with him. If it was more WRPG-y then in solving the bird's stupid shit with their pagan savage ritual you could have multiple means to solve the quest ranging from having a certain background trait like Sharlayan ancestry, a job/skill to a certain level, completion of a beast tribe elsewhere, blah blah blah. You get the idea. If you play XIV MSQ you will have the exact same experience every time except for the choice of which zone you go to first in SHB and DT (I think, I've disassociated my experience a year ago). If you play Tortanic you had the chance to do quests to different conclusions, and something like BG3 even more so.>>723185415Of course. I don't buy the shogun of lie's claims one bit. Bethesda does that kind of quick turnaround drop, but I don't trust Square one bit to.>>723185465The sadness of schizos like Barry or ESL Ranjeets is that it makes everyone jump at shadows. Induces a paranoia straight out of some murder mystery The Thing.
>>723179501Jar Jar isnt anywhere near as bad.Jar Jar didnt really have that many lines and pretty much fucked off or was non-existent in clones and revenge. Wuk had more lines than basically everyone else through every expansion.
>everyone has left>the remaining people are either insane cultists or stockholm'd complainers who can't leavegrimgrimdark even
>>723184975Get off the fucking computer and get to work, Yoshi-P
>>723186148Man I fuckin wish the game was dead all the worlds on aether were locked yesterday when I wanted to go see a friend
>>723186285Yes, anon. The servers are always full. :) No, we won't tell you the number. :)
>>723186148I sub twice per year, which am I?
>>723186263That's not right. YoshiP would be slobbering up wrpgs and lower the quality of his game because he thinks it will get him more gaijin fans
>>723184975My favourite JRPG of all time if FF9, the only game in recent years to make me feel remotely the same as to when I played FF9, was Expedition 33.FF16 made me feel like I was playing Devil May Cry and FF16 was made by a Japanese company that made it's name for making JRPGs.
>>723186372What?
>>723186354a shit grazer
>>723186498YoshiP is a massive westaboo.
>>723186551Huh?
>>723186351On that note does any mmos tell you the number of players when it’s not just on steam?
>>723186148I steamrolled the backhalf of endwalker to be ready for DT at launch and have been stuck at the level 93 dungeon since then. I still haven't unsubbed.
>>723180405That's not what that game is and he didn't direct that game and that shitpost is over 15 years oldGoddamn Nomura has mindbroken so many people
>>723186635stockholm'd
>>723186638NTA but ff13 probably has the most unlikeable mc ever, no idea how anyone beat the game
>>723186351Its true, every time I log in theres thousands, THOUSANDS of people always trying to log in at the same time as me!
>>723186854>Lightning most unlikeable mc everEven within the FF series that's not even remotely true. Squall would like a word. Or Vaan. (Yes I know Balthier/Ashe/Basch are basically the MC trifecta, but Vaan was still the generic mc)
>>723186854there is no MC, it's an ensembleyou didn't play the game but you shitpost about it 15 years later
>>723186857Yes even at 4AM there are queues, that means the game is full and popping and thriving! Totally not a 24/7 system that throttles logins no matter how many people are on.
>>723186607Runescape has a players online count on its site both for RS3 and OSRS. It includes bots, but it's the closest we will probably ever get to a company being honest about its active player count.
>>723186854>>723186959There was another JRPG that released around the same time, and felt more like FF VIII where you start at a magical academy, or it has a big presence throughout the story. I wish I could remember it's name. However I do remember that there's incest subplot between 2 npcs that are implied to be together in the finale or epilogue.
>>723187052It's true, I hate to wait 10 seconds this morning to login. Sometimes I have to wait 12-15 to queue
>>723186959Lighting is the main character anon I bought the game and had the hard back guide
>>723180959>storyrunescape will forever hold the title of best story
>>723187147Yes that’s why I don’t really count RuneScape because it has so many bots
>>723187330She's the face, but she's not the main character of FFXIII exclusively. Her, Vanille and Snow all share the main character spot. The game is an ensemble cast, anon.
>>723187449Fuck is that’s the case but her and everyone but sazh are so fucking unlikeable that I didn’t get past the junkyard . Only thing I did like was the battle theme
>>723187610>didn’t get past the junkyardYeah, it's obvious you didn't play the game.
Antifa are supporting the illegals in Portland by protesting the ICE facility there by dressing up in inflatable animals like frogs and furry animals. Guess who is supporting Antifa in Portland? Oh yeah it's Kate, the FF14 lead English localiser and lore consultant.
>>723183018Instead of wasting time making hundreds of yellow side quests that nobody touches, they spend that time on making new job quests for all jobs
>>723187767Safe to say she hasn't been fired or reprimanded and 8.0 will be even worse than DT.
>>7231878258.0 will have one (1) singular "role" quest for all jobs.
>>723178085so now that the "new" super casual deep dungeon full of shuffled assets and palette swap rewards that probably took their skeleton crew five minutes to design flopped what's nextor is everyone really enjoying the new crafting tribe for four minutes each day
>>7231879017.4 will save dawntrail
>>723187881good, because we haven't had a good role quest since shadowbringers
>>723187656>few hours into the story driven game and my story driven game has most of the cast being unlikeable people, annoying children, and a cuckSorry if that triggers you anon even fucking tales of abyss has unlikeable characters but you at least wanted to see what they were doing
>>723187860Yeah she's still working for SE and feels happy enough to follow what's going in Portland every night, it's ongoing there right now so she absolutely hasn't been reprimanded over her previous Charlie Kirk posting.

>>723188994Feo Ul and all other fairies have been referred to as "they" since ShB even though Feo has the title of "king" which is maleKate is a fucking retard
>>723188975It's true. She's also consulting for the job design reworks.
>>723187942Kill off the annoying meme taco guy. But I have always skipped any and all of his cutscenes so I guess it doesn’t matter either way
>>723189085She could have just referred to Feo Ul as queen and had it be some femme victory but no, it's never enough for libshits
>>723189085She also has a female voice actress in English, the same voice actress who played Shale. So they called the character a 'King' yet didn't give FEO-ul a male voice actor, they knew it was a female character, they knew.
>>723189085This is only a problem in the english version as well afaik
>>723189164>meme taco guy.Who? Theres like 10 "le quirky and random xD!" characters in DT
>>723189272The scion, graha
>>723188975When it comes to these kind of people ruining companies, they are never punished or demoted. YoshiP will just blame the customers for not liking the product. XIV has not course corrected and never will with this ideological capture.
>>723188945update your screenshoti've asked the same question more than 22 times
>>723189298Graha was cool before they flanderized him in a single cutscene. Never seen character assassination happen that fast.
>>723184597what's really grim is that people actually think 8.0 will be better
>>723189471which cutscene was that?
>>723189408you need to go back to /vg/ where ritualposting is frequent

>>723182271Me hanging on the wall waiting for my brc friend to show up
Krile is for____
ff14 is just bots real people dont play it anymore.
>>723189857Agreed. I get the writers think it’s endearing for him to idolize your character, but servile almost nebbish toadies are just annoying as party members
>>723189928That was my thought too and if anything, let's be real here she's going to be even more militaristic in her activism now that she's gone full mask off with her political leanings and hasn't been punished for it by SE. Before it was the off sprinkling of changing terms, or gender, names, or phrases, or bringing in a trans to voice a main character for the English version but I bet there will be a lot she's going to have a hand involved with for 8.0 and remember she's not alone, the English community management team all agree with her as does Foxclon the head of the global community management team as when people brought up Kate to him and asked for clarification or a response from SE/ CS3, his response was to block them all on social media.
Uh okay
>>723183018We can talk about complete overhauls to core systems all we want, but if you want to improve the game in a more practical manner, you need:>More content like PT (Acessible to all tiers of players, gameplay that isn't horribly boring and/or annoying, actually has plenty of rewards for all kinds of players and a healthy grind behind them, while also having something for the hardcore players)>More rewards for doing new content (Like the Arkveld fight, it has plenty of rewards for grinding it out)>Better story. This is the most important part. This game is legitimately held up by its story. The story needs to be good or nothing else matters. Even the most menial task like beast tribe quests can feel nice to do when there's good story behind it. DT's story and Tural's lore by extension being so horrible taints all of the expansion's content.That's it. That's how you at least make XIV enjoyable for its core fanbase again. Better reward structures, content with a healthy amount of grind that is actually acessible to all kinds of players, and a good story. All talk of core system reworks can come later. Also as an addendum to my first point, much like how content like FT is bad because it only caters to a small percentage of the total playerbase, stop sinking tons of resources into crafter-only content like Cosmic Exploration. All crafters are regular combat players, but not all regular combat players are crafters, and by making a large portion of each patch's content crafter-only you're wasting resources on shit most players won't even engage with

I'm just waiting for Heavyweight to come out so I can complete it and wash my hands of FFXIV. 8.0 would have to pull a narrative and content miracle and I don't expect it to
>>723191370Why? they give them away like every six months for free as an apology and dangle as incentives to stay subscribed.
>>723192004It is not worth your sub tranny
>guys you need to add rewards to difficult content so that people want to do it>okay understood we will>a year later>no rewardsWHAT IS SO FUCKING HARD
>>723192391>he needs a carrot on a stick to do anythingmust suck to be an animal
>>723192049Because they are mentally ill.
>>723192391Why the fuck would they add rewards to content only 0.01% of population is going to do when they could just make a cash shop purchase instead?
>>723192391They can't do anything interesting because they refuse to put gear or perks behind any hard contentCasual trannies would lose their mind if anything good was behind hard content, remember the Axolotl?The funny part is the Criterion shit taught them nothing, they learned nothing>>723192486You should apply to janny with that attitude
>>723192486Remove weapons from Ultimates and the only people that would do them would be streamers. Criterion died the week it came out
>be me>casual>want to grind some gear>queue up to latest raid>get one piece of equipment>now I can't get anything elseSee you next week I guess?
>>723192632>Casual trannies would lose their mind if anything good was behind hard content,womp womp just ignore themsome retard cries on forum every week no one cares
>>723192724Clearly the devs care thoughbeit, now they're trying to get casuals into organized content with open DD queues and Quantum's variable difficulty
>>723192391Also he lied to everyone when he said about increasing rewards by 50% for 7.3. >Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P), producer and director of Final Fantasy XIV, made the statement about implementing "1.5x rewards" (equivalent to a 50% increase in rewards) starting around patch 7.3 during a Famitsu interview. >This was part of a broader media tour to discuss upcoming patches in the Dawntrail expansion.Publication Date: July 31, 2025 >Place: Conducted with Famitsu (a prominent Japanese gaming magazine), likely in Japan as part of Yoshida's promotional cycle for patch 7.x content. Here is that exact interviewhttps://www.famitsu.com/article/202507/48601
>>723181331>The combat is boring fucking garbage "tab targeting while avoiding X and Y mechanic that the game doesn't tell you about"none of your skills feel impactful, at best you get a shiny animation at the highest levels and a big damage number that yet tickles the HP bar by 0.5%^ This. If the combat was enjoyable, everyone would just keep playing even if the MSQ sucked tranny dicks. But since the combat sucks dick, everyone quits the moment the MSQ goes to shit. XIV doesn't even have an enjoyable "game" as the base, it really is just a VN within an MMO framework.
I get it. they're trying to summon an anti yoship primal
>>723192708You rike gaijin?
>>723188945This isn't a dunk you cringe ass tranny faggot, that's an OK question to ask every thread. Just because it makes you seethe it doesn't mean everyone doesn't know it's the same person asking every thread.
>At PAX East 2024 (March 22–24, 2024, in Boston, MA), Yoshida participated in a panel to discuss the upcoming Dawntrail expansion. During this panel, he outlined plans to enhance the player experience, including addressing reward structures in response to community feedback about grind and progression in Endwalker and early Dawntrail plans>The 1.5x reward increase (50% boost) was more concretely detailed in the Famitsu interview published on July 31, 2025 https://www.famitsu.com/article/202507/48601, where Yoshida confirmed the implementation would begin around patch 7.3 (The Promise of Tomorrow, released August 26, 2025). Community discussions, such as those on Reddit’s r/ffxivdiscussion, noted that the PAX East 2024 comments were interpreted as an early commitment to these reward buffs, with the 1.5x multiplier being a later clarification as patch 7.3 approached.To summarize: PAX East 2024: Yoshida discussed general plans to improve rewards and reduce grind for Dawntrail’s endgame, but no specific "1.5x by 7.3" quote is documented from this event.Famitsu Interview (July 31, 2025): He explicitly tied the 1.5x reward increase (for loot, tomestones, mounts, etc.) to patch 7.3, fulfilling earlier promises.Hmmmm. So he's interpreting rewards as 'Titles' and not only items, that's a bit sleazy.
>>723193303titles are the only rewards worth anything
>>723193619>turns off titlesnothin personnel kiddo
>go to the ffxiv discord>general discussion channel>chat is slow and is mostly 5 dudes.holy fuck, the game is fucking dead.
>>723193619I've played this game for 8 years, I couldn't give a single fuck about titles, most people don't who have played for a long time because of how easy they are to be bought and paid for, they're meaningless. I want items, mounts, armour, minions not a title. I don't even see the titles of other players than my own as I have all of that turned off unless you're on my friends list.
>>723193730Theres nothing to talk about
>>723193846recommend vampire survivors
>>723194059It's pretty wild that the basic thing an MMO is meant to do can't even do that, giving rewards for play and grind yet a $5 game can. Insane isn't it?
Just go play WoW. Yea it has woke shit but so does FFXIV with the introduction of DT. So might as well spend your money on the better game.
>>723194127>its only rewards if i approve of it
>>723194291you could be playing literally any other mmo and be doing better than playing xiv or wow
>>723193730There's nothing to doRunning 5-10 year old content in roulettes with shitty job design restricted by levels is not funThe exploration zone was a fucking bomb too, where is the next zone or anything?
>>723194324>Armour, gear, mounts, minions aren't rewards>But titles areOh that's why Criterion was such a roaring success wasn't it and not at all why they had to emergency implement Savage ilevel glow weapons for Aloalo Criterion.
>>723194431next zone is 7.5, probably 7.55, before that we will get a new grind and new phantom jobs in 7.45
>723194291hello blizzdronehow much are you getting paid per post?
>>723194461all of those things were in variant dungeons
>>723194394You're not wrong there.
>>723194291but it's infinitely worse with western generic fantasy shit
So is Quantum having the results Yoshida was looking for because no one is touching this shit outside of 40 so what's the point at all
>>723194812>Materia and thread to buy a single casual glam outfitThese are rewards to you huh? I see what you're doing you're taking the statement of 50x more rewards and now condensing that into "yeah but they offer you rewards already and you should be grateful you get that".
>>723194798Uh oh fftranny melty
>>723188413worked so well for ff15.
>>723194960Dead on arrival. Chaotic was better than this and they released that shit on Christmas
>>723195326Chaotic only got the boost it got because it was closer to release and a new ideaIt was also a complete lie
WoW is dying trannyslop like XIV, HOWEVER... it does have combat that's enjoyable so it wins. Sorry XIV bros...
>>723195653midcore bros...will they ever understand...i want the rewards of savage but the difficulty of alliance raids...
>>723195326I saw even on the official forums for JP that they were saying it was dead on arrival because of the release date being Christmas they were saying "overseas players have their holiday then, they are with family they won't be progging Chaotic" I mean some people who are alone did but most of the player base won't take time away during Christmas to prog, they just won't.
New World won
>>723195701I already have the savage rewards, I want to have fun
I don't care about raids. That's silly. I only ever do enough midcore content to get my relic weapon or slightly better looking artifact set
>>723196331fun doesn't matter. only rewards. if i am not getting maximum amounts of rewards including currencies, experience points, mogsmountsncheevos, for the number to go up, what is even the point?lol. breaking the addiction to trying to be efficient at all times in vidya really made me enjoy things more
>>723178085Just here to gloat. I assume 7.3 wasn't the god patch people said it was gonna be?
>>723178085*Sobs*
>>723183546>do horizontal progression insteadpeople like saying this a lot in terms of fixing the game but never bother to explain it, what does horizontal progression mean in the context of FF14?how would you actually implement it and how would it work in relation to scaling and job balance
>>723196875Nope. Arkveld is boring. Pilgrim's is the easiest DD by far, easier than powercrept POTD and HOH, Quantum is kinda neat idea but far too clunky and pidgeonholed so they'll never try it again next expansion anyways.
>>7231780857.3 MSQ went from 1 thumbs up to a nothing when they partly recreated the 7.0 final trial ending horror show.If Yoshida had any fucking balls or desire to course correct they would have had wookie die. The ultimate apology to everyone and a promise that tomorrow they won't (hopefully) make mistakes of that magnitude again because they learned something from the shitfiesta that was DT.
>>723197313You WILL like Wuk Lamat
>>723197313they tripled down on wookie, gave her the savior scene from the end of endwalker.
>>723197409Never Yoshipee
>>723197575Lamaty'i is WOL's best friend...
>>723197190I've come up with multiple different systems and it's always met with people calling me a retarded larper or a thousand excuses as to why it "can't" work so why bother? That's for SE to figure out. The biggest reason the game feels so unrewarding to play is because gear is nothing more than item level that acts as a key system for ultimate raids. You never feel good when you get a new piece of gear because you don't actually get stronger in any real way. You will always deal roughly the same percentage of damage to the next boss you fight.
At least throughout the campaign, Lyse tried to understand than you can't just go >my way or the highwayor>everyone has to get on board and do what I sayDT was never-ending with it's, Wuk Lamat, you incorrigible fuck up, please lead us into a new age.
>>723192708>Game lets you play all classes on one character>Loot system is set up to actively discourage multi-jobbing on one character
>>723197771>i should be able to orange parse on all classes week 1
>>723197812Imagine being so fucking braindead that thats your takeaway
>>723197725at least when lyse became leader of the resistance it was as a figurehead and she wasn't expected to do any real strategizing or anything because she had raubahn and shit to do that
>>723197890i'm just extrapolating what your complaint is actually about
>>723197812You should be able to actually use a core feature of the game and the series as a whole. Parsetrannies should hang from streetlights.
>>723197956>>723197890
>>723197190Just copy XI
>>723197965gear as progression is an antiquated mechanic and i hope it gets simplified even further so that they can stop spending dev time on it
>>723179332SWTOR is unironically better than FFXIV at this point.
>>723198039Gear is important for JRPGs but for this game I'd prefer gear goes away and gets replaced with a materia sphere grid or something.
>>723190709On the combat side, just make individual play matter again. Infinitely replaceable faceless cog bullshit killed everything.
>>723198117LMAO It will always be worse in story alone since it's you know, star wars garbage.
>>723197717i mean there's a reason why you get called that and your post just proves it with regurgitating a years old post that's been said since HWwhy can no one actually explain how they picture this working yet still parrot it>>723198021and how exactly would you implement XI's design into XIV anon, explain your reasoningif you're copying XI then that means the jobs need a major overhaul so they're actually different and meaningful
>>723195175nigga nomura got kicked off the project before it got renamed
>they didn't make XIV-2Look I know you niggahs say a lot of shit and what not but when Yoshida came out and announced DT and another 10 years of XIV he may as well looked directly in my eyes and said the most ominous possibility.>I want you to que for Frontline Roulette in 2030That was my takeaway, that's what he promised me, that this busted ass worst in genre since release netcode, systemcode, securitycode game would be still be around.I don't need that kind of misery in my life man.
>>723183018Reverse the casualization. Fuck consoleniggers, classes should be fun to play and micro-optimizations aren't fun. Leave some classes braindead simple to play while others are wacky crazy complex. Less simon says/memory game style raids that can be better pubbed by people other than autistic Japs. More experimental content instead of just the same shit we've been doing since SHB.Retire Wuk without any fanfare and make the rest of DT about cozy mini-adventures with all the tribes.Mericidya expansion next, all new cast, Scions relegated to the occasional background character. Except Krille, she was robbedFronelines reworked to just be 24v24 braindead murderfest instead of just running around in circles backcapping points. CC given more modes than push the cart. Just rip the fucking band aid and make housing instanced. No one like the current housing. People don't fucking care about muh nayburhood
>>723198370>>they didn't make XIV-2they did. for mobile.
>>723198370Senko DOKO!?
>>723196713I enjoy a good challenging game or piece of content in a game, working with my team to overcome Savage or Ultimate is fun and not only for some reward(gear is pointless outside of gearing for Ultimate really)I'm just tired of their answer to everything longevity and grind related being "make a savage version", sometimes I'm just trying to chill out while taking in the game and its world
>>723198427Too be fair siss, that scorch sfx is pretty goddamn satisfying. VROOOPPRROIIRRR
>>723198370>they didn't make XIV-2That's FFXVIISee you in 2035 when it releases anon!
>>723197313They'll never outright kill any character like that, but she will be shelvedStill, it is concerning and still leaves the door wide open for other shitty characters later on in the MSQ
>>723197812Parsing is not the issue, the issue is swapping jobs without being a huge detriment to the group because your gear is garbage and it takes 8-12 weeks to gear another job
can't wait to see how XVII will manage to be even worse than XV and XVI
>>723198579>>723198859I don't see why 17 would be a MMO. it's clear they cannot do MMOs very well.
>>723198828>clear content>get kitted out on one job>you somehow can't clear the same content again on a job with the same starting gear you used for the otheri think you're just inventing a problem
>>723198859>limited to only having "guest party" members in specific missions>linear hallways>no maps to explore>cutscenes full of "dark and mature" plotlines>no job system>this is your final fantasy tier dialogue>written by George RR Martin
>>723198427>no picto or viperded gaem
They should do another MMO next, but they won't because XIV maintenance mode takes too much resources compared to say XI's maintenance mode. They don't have the people to develop to new game without outright and instantly killing XIV. We're stuck with it for another decade.
>>723198623As I stated before>no ballsThere is no Promise of Tomorrow so long as a mistake that large isn't erased. The amount of goodwill recovered by killing wookie off would have been massive.
>>723199034I don't have the DT oneIf one even got made
is kate fired/dead yet

>>723199242buy an ad
>>723199242raidtrannies are deranged, you can safely ignore their shit opinions as they've killed every MMO in existence.
>>723199172Thinking about it, it would be pretty insane marketing if headlines were flying around everywhere that a hated character got executedGuerrilla Marketing, if you will>>723199185>dead yetUh, you can personally take the lead on that pal
>>723199242Wait, you're telling me you don't even get better gear for completing the content? Why the fuck would you do that?
>>723199308GPT bot post.
>>723186445E33, the game where you're railroaded into two stupid endings that even one of the characters says both sides are wrong and stupid? That E33? Maybe you're just a fucking retard.
Is GW2 any good? The species you can choose from all seem incredibly shite except for charr.
>>723199098no more mmos they are a dead genre
>>723197313MSQ is fucked for a while or forever at this point.
>>723199476It's a digital doll dress up game. So it's probably perfect for a large segment of xiv's base
>>723199464anon, the french have their own type of ending thats shit that they base their culture on
>>723199464>Judging a game based on it's endingsFF9 only had a single ending so your point is retarded.
>>723199476>gw2>beat the bigot
>>723199484so tru xister, they should do another single player game that flops like the other 99% of games
>>723183018Roll jobs back to HW/SB as a starting point. Then rework all of the additions we've had since then back into it with a focus on turning things into skill upgrades, particularly where they occupy the same CD and resource.Despair should just be a Flare upgrade, Senei and Guren etc.Cutting all of that shit was the worst mistake they made and rotations had a more satisfying format and flow.You niggers hated accuracy but it was the only stat on gear that made gearing interesting. Bring it back. Another damage stat isn't going to make it interesting again, you'll just get another flavour of the same shit we have now.Revert the MP/Piety and TP changes. 10K MP is boring for everybody and it's a resource you basically never even think about regardless of job and role. Make sprint not eat TP. Everybody would benefit from having that resource management back and it would mandate the Phys ranged jobs again besides the stat bonus.
>>723199540But people are telling me GW2 is a content game, a manly gameplay game game!
>no onea wantsu turno based gamu>gets btfo for 5 years straight by turn based rpgs>xvi flops hard
>>723189985Estinien
>>723198276>and how exactly would you implement XI's design into XIV anon, explain your reasoningMy reasoning is that XI had far more interesting job design and encounters.
>>723179604dawntrail aside, xiv's story is perhaps one of the best main stories in an mmohell probably in all final fantasy
>>723199723
>>723199723It's why he's not taken seriously anymore as a developer in the West and why when the Sandfall devs visited Square Enix a couple of months ago they visited the FF7r team and didn't go and see the CS3/ FF14/ FF16 team.

>>723199972>KrileWho made this non-canon comic? My WoL canonically spends all his time with Alphinaud
>>723199892There is no fucking way this is real
the real answer is to repatch all of dawntrail, and replace every bit of the story involving Wuk Lamat with Tataru going on a profit driven conquest of the new world
>>723200170it's very real.
>>723200042BUT IT LITERALLY HAS A NEW EXPANSION IN LIKE TWO WEEKS, HOW CAN IT BE JOEVER!?
>>723200179Tataru not showing up was one of the few good things about DT
>>723183018I wouldn't. There is nothing worth saving left.Tuck it in. Let it die.
>>723200314owarida
>>723200365Why would she even need to show up?
>>723199957Buy a Make Eorzea Great Again hat.
>>723186940An annoying, confident in his ignorance, teenager with nothing going on for him is probably the realest starting character you can get for a JRPG. Vaan isn't just the MC, he's the player. He's the target audience.
>>723200129if your Wol isnt taking advantage of krile and tatarus stretchy lalafell anatomy to use them as hard and rough as a fleshlight in a pillow? is your WoL even living?
>>723179724Wild Freaks
>>723200526Sounds like something a dirty lalafell would make
>>723200548Tbh vaan was kind of just there and wasn’t really story important I think but I haven’t played the game in 18 or 19 years
>>723183018dating sim elements and a whole romance/marriage quest-lines for each of the scions/ fan favorite characters
>>723186940I didn't find Squall unlikable
>>723200548You sound like those anons who pretend sol romcoms are bad, because you can't self insert. And get irrationally upset because they aren't acting they way you want. You know, like a retard would.
>>723178085why are some fags (or just one fag maybe) so obsessed with yoshidaits like being obsessed with kamiya or itsuno or whatever, its so weird
>>723200965>why are figureheads in charge of products singled out So weird...
>>723200965DT flopped and killed the game, you need to let that sink it.
>>723200965It’s legitimately like a few people if not just one person, mind you Barry also found a porn actor that was fucking a tranny that looked just like Yoshi and just HAD to share it with everyone and just stumbled across tranny porn.
>>723201009yeah imagine I made a thread about death stranding 2 everyday but just posted a single picture of kojima with the caption "ITSOVERRRR", that's totally normally init
>>723200965
>>723201104Okay bud.
>>723200910I liked Squall and his party members they all complimented him.That's the problem with Dawntrail and the Woke Lemutt show, it was all her, it was a single MC. I don't know why FF has lost it's way with the current CS3 team but they used to understand that a FF game and even FF14 you have to have a party.You can't have single focus on a single character and that's why even though FF14 we were the main character with the Warrior of Light (we used to be just the adventurer) there were also the Scions of the Seventh Dawn who were the party members for FF14.FF16 got rid of this with Clive being the solo character.FF14 Endwalker post patch was the start of this for FF14 and Zero getting so much solo focus.Then Dawntrail and it was the Woke Lemutt show with not party to try and compliment her character, the scions were there in presence but they were basically a chatgpt prompt when asked with how agreeable to everything she was saying they would be.PARTY SYSTEM! FINAL FANTASY WAS BUILT ON A PARTY SYSTEM!Going all the way back to the original and it was 4 Warriors of light, not a single, solo character.This to me is probably the biggest reason why the current game doesn't feel like a FF game anymore.
>stumbled upon it
>>723201226>no rebuttalsureyou fags also keep flocking to these threads I don't know why.
>>723201321Why would I waste my time with some anon who's argument is >be a normalfagew. and lmao
>>723201009Nigger I don’t care about yoshi at all only time I care about him is when he is doing the live letter or cosplaying the new class. Any other time he is out of my mind but niggers are you post him non stop and obsessed with him to a clearly unhealthy degree
We all know it's some schizo who has an unhealthy obsession who keeps making the yoshi-p threads everyday. we ALSO know that it doesn't fucking matter who makes the thread everyday, XIV is dying trannyslop that yoshi DID kill and he deserves to be shit on. Go back to l*ddit if seeing this thread makes you cry.

the sanest solution to these threads should be spam with lewds of xiv characters until anon gives up trying to stir shit about yoshida
>>723201580>the game can never die because some schzio has always hated itBrilliant logic trannykun, have you consulted the luckybancho chart that shows an objective plummeting of the player-base?
>>723201649>barebutt>not a diaper
No corsair no sub
Total Steve victory.

I'll resub when they have a JP team that wholeheartedly goes whole hog on full japanese anime game conventions. And progresses past whatever dogshit DT was trying to be
What is this? An FF14 thread?I tried getting into FF14 but when my friend told me I would have to play through 100+ hours of shitty content to get caught up to things I immediately dropped it.New player experience is important. Think of it as a net you can catch a whale with. Worth investing into.
>>723201651Yea it’s dying anon, game is not getting anymore updates and 8.0 is the final update. Now what?
>>723201280God Clive was so fucking boring

>>723201787
>>723201936To me it's a lot of fun for a single playthrough, but I can't bring myself to play it again and have zero interest in doing a second playthrough and I've done 3 playthroughs of FF14 from start to Endwalker.
>>723200569you forgot momodi and nanamo
>>723202106Okay, but I want a jrpg. Not generic fantasy with one guy
>>723202163I don't disagree.
>>723202106I’m unlock ultima’s powers one of these days
I had more fun looking up Jill's skirt in the demo than anything in the actual game
>>723202301I completed the entire game and did both DLCs, unlocked Ultima's powers, then right after unlocking the final power the final quest was right after and then his brother Joshua his friend Dion and himself they all died and that was the end of the game I thought what the fuck was the point in that?
>>723202459I don't know why but something about this reminds me of vaan on valentine's day.
>>723202630
Why the fuck does anyone think we don't want jRPGs?What we don't want, is immemorable characters, immemorable stories and immemorable moments. And that plagued like.. EVERY Final Fantasy after 10. It's like they had all made a covenant with an eldritch god of boredom.It's a miracle that FF7R is as good as it is, but that leads me to another problem:HIGH GRAPHICS IS KILLING ALL GAMES IN GENERAL.LOW POLY BRINGS BLISS.RETURN.No more of this years-and-years-and-maybe-a-sequel horseshit. What good has it done anyone? OOOOOOOO REFLECTIONS IN THE PUDDLE, HOLY SHIT ON A HERO SUB, RUIN EVERYTHING PLEASE.

>>723202856>Why the fuck does anyone think we don't want jRPGs?Talk to YoshiP, somehow he got it into his head the younger generation don't like RPGS even though the largest games in the World are RPGS in some form or another and that's Gacha games. Honkai Starrail for example is turnbased and a Gacha game and it's appeal is to the younger generation you know the people YoshiP said he wanted to attract to FF16 and FF by making it action based and removing the RPG elements.
>>723202856A certain tribe of people does not want hopeful and memorable stories, you need to be demoralized and hopelessly nihilistic. This has infected Japan's design and art ethic too.
>>723199873>in all final fantasylets not get ahead of ourselves, fft is right there
>>723202996>Talk to YoshiPOh I will.
>Red Mage, sharing gear with BLM and SMN, is constantly given robes that make no sense with the melee part>Aiming always gets gear that is most similar to the RDM aesthetic>Can't use it on RDM
>>723178085>no cucklive >the only ff14 character was nomuras
>>723202856The baby is right!
>>723202996>and removing the RPG elementsexcuse me???
>>723202909That story will never stop being funny to me how that Aussie game reviewer Youtuber/ Skill-up who was a massive Square Enix shill before that moment and would shill everything Square Enix and then did that interview with YoshiP where YoshiP was insanely arrogant and got offended over the term JRPG which in turn Skill-up got disillusioned with YoshiP and gave FF16 a bad review which had a heavy impact on the game reception.Again, YoshiP being arrogant thinking is his own downfall.
>>723203058as someone who really wanted more of that cowboy aesthetic from the starter set and not the nightly aesthetic a lot of GNB has to share with other fending sets, i sorta understand your pain
>>723203058Removing gear retrisction is probably one of those emergency features for a new expansion to attrac players, How many years ago did Yoshi-P say that a white mage in armor breaks the game's aesthetic?
>>723202619I still think Clive is alive because he loves to take up people names and the writer of the book was Joshua but he was clearly dead.
>>723192957Anon EVERYONE knew he meant boring dogshit like portrait kits or umbrellas, not actual gear or glamour.
>>723183018I would stop desecrating it and let it die with whatever little dignity it has left.
>>723203058Just get the new deep dungeon set and wear that it’s the perfect red mage set.
>>723203469Funny remembering how overwhelmingly excited people were over the second dye channel shit and how fucking nothing it turned out to be
>>723203581Wow. I hate it. I'll stick with the ivalice enchanter robe
>>723203509I still don’t get why people keep asking for different ways to get gear at max you just need crafted gear and 99% of people do not care about the sub stats to min max the stuff
>>723203667Tasteless
>>7232036462 dye channels! Wowie! Meanwhile most of the time it is literally 2 flat maps that look ugly as a shit or 2 channels that change miniscule details that are hardly noticeable.
>>723203469can't you literally get all of the diadem gear for any job now?
>>723203581so this is what they're doing in ffxiv these days huh
GIVE ME RUNE KNIGHT OR GIVE ME DEATH
>>723183018More casino games
>>723203509This is the very first time I've ever heard anyone say that. All the threads over the year and the content creators were excited about getting more gear drops, more weapons, more minions, more rewards that wasn't just the same old shit of materia and thread or titles again.
>>723203581looks good. i've always kinda wondered if i'd prefer a feathered hat over the ribbons, but it looks off to me
Should I come back and play the patch or wait until 7.5? I already unsubbed so I only have about two weeks left.
>>723202856Someone post that YoshiP pic talking about Call of Duty being like Final Fantasy
>>723204051We're way ahead of you champ>>723199892
>>723203883Where's the MAGA hat you little shit? It puts the hat on its head or it gets the hose again.
>>723203883Red mages must have a big red hat. It's the law.
Lol, my red mage has never had any piece of red glam. never will
>>723180237>>723180140Not him but Nomura should put all his KH1/KH2/Versus devs in CS3 so they can improve their systems design. CS3 also has a lot of Versus devs, since many of them weren't from CS1 games but instead from SaGa, Crystal Chronicles, TLR and Ivalice games. Let CS1 rot in the 10-13 echo chamber, they had to add a Crystarium even with Nomura working on Rebirth.
So when is that XI remake coming out?
>red mage>dye all gear blueSOMEONE LOCK ME UP
>>723204483Never, thankfully. Better XI stays with one foot in the grave being the best MMO ever made, filtering zoomers and midwits until it dies a dignified death.
>>723203678Because Im too lazy to do savage half the time, but it is annoying how they flipflop between "hearing" the community about it and then not really delivering. >>723203838You mean the shills who want you to watch their content say outlandish things? Say it aint so. Remember when Xenos and Arthars were like "oh yeah dude Ozma is making another ult and its coming in 7.3" only for that to not be the case and obviously mistranslation and the devs are not panic developing a new ult for 7.5? Which isnt even confirmed to be there, just "aiming for 7.5".
>>723204443>CS3 also has a lot of Versus devs, since many of them weren't from CS1 games but instead from SaGa, Crystal Chronicles, TLR and Ivalice gamesMatsuno I understand but why would Nomura get people from Kawazu games?
>>723204659>Tetsuya Nomura is a great person. I never had the chance to work directly with him except for indirectly through the test play of Romancing SaGa (when I was a new employee) and The Bouncer, but whenever we were taking a break and drinking coffee side by side, he would always strike up a conversation, such a nice character.https://vxtwitter.com/SaGa30kawazu/status/1920119507257061484He probably asked Kawazu to borrow them. Kawazu devs are good at making crafting, growth systems and battle content. Legend of Mana was also a big influence on KH1 too.
>>723204654Yeah them because that's all who is left after Dawntrail to shill the game, but also all the FF14 threads for months.
>>723204587Fair
>>723204443Why does every Versusfag like (You) have to shit on 10 and 13? Nomura made characters for those games too.
>>723204128oh thanks
>>723204901Because Versusfags are Ivalicefags and XVIfags who think Kitase ruined the series for some reason even if X is one of the best FFs even XIV referenced. Please understand.
If Nomura made the game it's good. If he didn't make the game but worked on it it would have been good if he made it. If Nomura didn't make the game and didn't work on it he should work on it and make it good.
>>723180140God
>>723205029>If Nomura didn't make the game and didn't work on it he should work on it and make it good.Even Stellafag dropped The 3rd Birthday and he knew how much of a creative force Nomura was over Toriyama and Tabata.He still hated Toriyama with a passion. To address your point >>723204901
>>723205107>StellafagWho?
>>723183018give healers dps skills again
whens new MSQ?
>>723205293Probably January lmao
>>723205198DRG main?
>>723203081I still don't get fedora Kain and.. Gaia?
>>723203081When will my nigga Seifer get to rep for FF8 man?
>>723205501based on the teaser its dissidia but in tokyo so they have modern outfitskinda like TWEWY I guess
>>723203581Sir, this is a Black Mage set
>>723204901Because Kitase ruined Nomura's life by not making his Project Black game the 13th numbered Final Fantasy installment. Being Tetsuya is suffering
>>723205756Yeah but why a fedora for Kain
>>723206006>Kitase says Versus is not real Final Fantasy>makes Nomura design characters for yet another FMV string adventureWhy is he like this lmao
>>723206028uhhh maybe because dragoons are cringe or something. Or the character designer (probably nomura) think its cool.
What the fuck did they do to Aether's servers in the patch? I can't DC travel to the servers my friends are on anymore. It says congested every time.
>>723186445>FF16 made me feel like I was playing Devil May CryBecause they had the DMC combat designer. I only WISH XVI leaned harder into DMC combat instead of the rotating-skills-due-to-cooldown-timers bullshit.
>>723206006>Being Tetsuya is sufferingThis isn't the first time this happened to Tetsuya, anon.
>>723206319>>723206006Kill yourself Stellafag
>>723206225It wasn't THE combat designer of DMC5, he was just one of 17 designers working on it. They sold him as the DMC5 guy but who knows how much of it was really due to him.
>>723206409I'm pretty sure >>723205107 is Stellafag.
I still remember back in 2021, as a WoWfag, how everyone unironically worshipped this guy this guy on here.People pretended like FF14 back in 2021 was God's gift to MMO's.
>>723206414I'm also surprised they didn't give the role to Kujiraoka straight away too. Nomura trained him on KH2 and let him go buckwild on 012. Did working on the 13 games do something to him?
>>723206512A lot can change in 4 yearsGoodwill only lasts so many fuckups
>>723206448He also is, yes.
>>723206409>>723206448kill yourself eric.
>>723206083He only sees Nomura as a character designer because he sees games as a series of cutscenes with button pressing sequences. 13 has even less exploration and systems than linear 16 which at least has seamless combat and a battle system better than auto-battle.
>>723206512I told all you tourists he was a lying retard but your CIA golem programming kicked in and you just screamed about Barry.
whats the point of this gay trust shit being avatars and not the real characters if i'm still restricted by who was in the expansion, let me use ryne faggots
>>723206514Also meant for >>723206562
>>723206749I can see that. Yuji Abe was the battle design director for all 3 13 games and he shot himself in the foot with Flame X Blaze. Not even working with Nomura on both KH2 and Ever Crisis could save him now. KH3 got better when he left too
>>723206663I don't know how anyone can be bothered with trusts past the first patch day
>>723206837>Flame X Blaze?>KH3 got better when he leftWhat happened in Remind
>>723206514012's combat was DBZ floaty shit though.
how come there's nothing like this in tural
>>723206980Kate unrionically. Enjoy your false leftist paradise.
>>723206837>Yuji Abe was the battle design director for all 3 13 gamesHuh, interesting, considering XIII-3 was a complete departure from almost every other FF game's combat system, and ended up being in my top-3 for FF combat systems as a result, due to the marriage of ATB w/ dodge/block elements.
>>723206980This is gross and we need to be better, be on the right side of history.
>>723206980
>lalas used to be based like this>now they can't even be shown because of k*te
>>723206980>>723207194I wish we even got a fucking CRUMB of seediness in the setting these days. And I don't mean Marvel tier mass baby genocide I mean regular ass bitches and whores.
>>723207213Is Kate obsessed with showing every NPC in a positive light or some shit?
>>723178085What watch does he have?
>>723207194>>723207213>fat merchant takes them in>chains them to a cellar as you would for slavesokay what now, potatoes?
>>723207292Cast FireCast Return
>>723207385why would some homeless refugees living outside ul'dah know how to do either of those things
>>723207059Yuji Abe was the only one available at the time 13 was being worked on. Two of them were on Dissidia, the other one was on 11. KH2FM was being also made at the time and the guy who worked under Kanemori and Nomura who was Masanori Satou moved with them. He also moved to XV working on battle levels and was forced by Tabata to work on level design for the car. Nomura put him on KH3 once he was free and then sent him to 7R for battle planning and then he became Rebirth's battle design director.He also worked under Toshiro Tsuchida though. The concept of 13's battle system was creating a balance between speed, animations and strategy and the secret was automation somehow. Abe wanted to accomodate for more gameplay, so when Lightning became the only playable character you could actually move her around and switch between character classes to play long animations per button press, I mean attack.
>>723207253>that rape dungeon in Sastasha
>>723207738There's a reason why Nomura got all those XII devs on the Versus writing team like Akiyama. Only they could come up with something like that.
>>723183018Add in NPC bonding and make Nanamo an personalized option for my WoL alone.Partial jokes aside, just fix job design for fucks sake. Healers are so god damned bland it isn't funny anymore and leveling kits are total ass now.That and older content is horrendously outscaled, like all of CT.
>>723206512Some are still living like it's 2021-2022, but it's 2025 and people and reputations have moved on.He, that is Naoki Yoshida commonly referred to as YoshiP, absolutely nuked his reputation with Dawntrail and how he handled the criticism.
>>723207738Modern XIV could never do something like that.
>>723207904Honestly things started falling off during the EW post patches, DT was just when everyone realized things weren't going to get better.
>>723206979Just like Osaka
>>723206512What's even more funny is people on /xivg/ were using the original filter meme for the game but they replaced ARR with DT. Like holy cope.
>>723208191That image is even older than ARR, it gets recycled once a decade.
>>723207458They're simple magicks.
>>723206512The game was good during ARR - SB where it earned the hypeShB was only hyped by: veterean players who have yet to spot the signs, storyfags that were at their loudest, newfags that either started in SB or ShB, who wanted to be part of the train2021 though? That's late as fuck, there were already lots of split arguments at that point, EW was continued hype from storyfags and newfags, but long time players were already very vocal about their direction the game was going in, and they were also loud at that point to not be unnoticeable, and that started in early SBDW is when the veil has been lifted and now everyone can see the real state of the gameHow much of a newfag are you that you're referring to 2021?
>>723207253>marvel tier anything Western comic books are the most mollified babies first enough level of writing. What are you talking about? Even the most childish of jrpgs have far more seedy elements sprinkled throughout
>>7232086932021 is when XIV was at it's most popular the fuck are you talking about
>>723208693Fuck off, you were a complete ecleb dickrider and were so happy your shitty dead MMO was finally getting some attention.Now your just salty you got grifted and dropped after they sucked your wallets dry. Now your shitty MMO is back to dead and irrelevant status.
>no endgame area to show off your mount and idle with the lads for over 3 expansionswe used to be a society
>>723208853Literally missing my point entirely when I just said shit like the lizard mass eugenics is like something out of marvel that the writer THINKS is super heavy and serious but really isn't. >oh my god Kang the Conquerer killed ten thousand babies! And that's awful
>>723208025You're not wrong, I think a lot of people were holding out hope that they were going to take on board the complaints of how boring and shitty Endwalker post patch was, but they took that and gave us Dawntrail. One of those situations where people were thinking "how worse can this get? Surely the worst is over and now it's the good times again"Then Dawntrail released.I personally knew things were fucked when 6.55 came out with the tranny voice actor and the people saying the bad voice acting was a problem were loudly being told to shut the fuck up for the good of the game, or were transphobes. It was that moment I knew the direction of the game was changed because back in ARR when there was bad voice acting people pointed it out and it wasn't about politics, there were some truly awful voice performances, thankfully they were changed in ARR post patch and Heavensward but the loud shouting down of anyone trying to say the same thing in 6.55, it was made into a political issue and people were being banned if they spoke out on the forums and even in the game.
>>723209184It's what happens when your game becomes too positive, call it toxic positivity.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB9grCmKi9ghe was right all along.
>>723209294Yeah I don't know where this idea came from that the devs need to be shielded from all criticism. It's such a weird concept to me that I just don't understand it.If there's a problem then you point it out so it can be fixed. It doesn't mean you are creating a problem so it can be fixed it means there is a problem say a bug, a gameplay element, a bad performance that is effecting the quality of the game, it needs pointing out so it can be improved upon. If nothing is ever criticised that is telling the dev team there is nothing wrong with the game and they don't have to change or improve in order to please the players.Which is exactly what has happened for a number of years this toxic positive bubble around the game has done nothing but hurt it.
>>723201280Square somehow forgot that one of the likable things about FF games or their RPG offerings is the comradery and shenanigans revolved around an ENSEMBLE CAST. Started in XII imo, when you have very interesting pairs of characters that rarely interacted in any fun or meaningful way even though they spend the entire game together. So wack.
>>723208897>>723208965Nah the eras were>Successful launchARR>Initial hype waveHW>Max hype achievedShB>FalloffEW>DyingDTEW only had hype before it launched, building from ShB, but when EW actually arrived the falloff started happening. People got hyped again for DT like they do every expac hoping things will be better than the last, but then DT was DT so things got worseIf you're thinking back to 2021 then you're definitely a newfag. The game was at its maximum hype during ShB, which was 2019
>>723209183The funniest part is that the people had those children willingly in an effort to bring about a hero that could save them, they weren't forced at swordpoint to fuck so they could produce Bakool Ja-Ja. The leftywriter solution to people that had an issue with conception was "stop trying to have children" because obviously if a species has issues with reproduction, it's better they die out than have those icky dead babies that make us feel so sad.
>>723209573>EW only had hype before it launched>The game was at its maximum hype during ShBokay? endwalker launched decemer 2021 what are you even saying
>>723209491>one of the likable things about FF games or their RPG offerings is the comradery and shenanigans revolved around an ENSEMBLE CASTCouldn't agree more, I replayed FF9 recently and seeing Steiner interacting with the party and how much he hated Zidane constantly wanting to have him imprisoned or exiled to over the course of the game and their interactions and interactions with other characters Steiner goes on to pledge his ever lasting life until the very end to Zidane in a certain scene is what it's all about man.
>>723209464Because you get a bunch of people who let a label get to their head. FFXIV was known as the "nice mmo community," but it had a very bad effect where nothing negative about the game could be said or else the positivity would plummet. Now they're eating their cake
>>723181874We just aren't allowed to have a cute midlander girl on the team.>Minfilia gets killed off>Lyse gets sidelined>Ryne gets left behind>Sphene has to stay in TuralIts just not fair, I'm sick of elves and cats.
>>723209464Look at Barry. He tries to shield his favorite devs from criticism so people can only think like him and agree with him. That's the goal of toxic positivity. It's positivity for one person who's trying to end subjectivity and differences in taste.
>in some other JRPG or vaguely square enix related thread>wuk lamat is mentioned as the worst character ever conceived>entire thread is confused>poster does not elaborate
>>723209802Barry winning is irrelevant, the only winner here in these threads is Steve because he buckbroke dumpy permanently.
>>723209779To be fair Minfilia was a case of them actually listening to the playerbase when they said they found a character annoying
>>723209667do you really not get it kek
>>723180607He wrote kh3 bro
>>723209880The dumps have ceased, and we have been graced with another beautiful thread.But Barry's not here to see it.
>>723209802I uploaded the wrong image but lmao the more I look at it this one is funny and still relevant somehow. This is what I meant to upload.
>>723209883I didn't think she was annoying, but I'm also not a retarded nigger that couldn't figure out that you can take a ferry from Limsa to instantly reach Vesper Bay.
>>723209779>Minfilia>Lyse>MidlanderNice try middie propagandist but those two are purebred highlander women
>>723199873I don't get it. I've played FFXIV up to the end of Stormblood, and beaten every numbered Final Fantasy (excluding 11), and I don't understand the praise at all. I don't care about any of the characters. I don't care about any of the stakes. I don't see what others see in this game.
>>723209941>N-Nomura wrote KH3He also wrote SoP with his eroge writer friend. Maehiro also wrote Heavensward in the same manner.
>>723209464Toxic positivity is a strawman coming from people that try to start fights in dedicated fan-spaces like the official forum and then get mad the natives don't think the game is shit too. They're used to a very different forum environment where people have been saying their game is shit for decades.
so the new deep dungeon is in norvrandt because they want to remind people of when the game was good?
>>723209895shadowbringers wasn't at its most popular at launch for one thing. you call others new and you don't even know that?
>>723210018>eroge writer friendIs Nomura /ourguy/?
>>723201787You made the correct choice. I just finished Stormblood and it never gets any better. VNR
>>723184874JRPG gets used about a dozen times as often as WRPG and there's no particular reason for that to be the case.
>>723210039If you interpret Palace of the Dead and Eureka Orthos as being ARR member berries, I guess.
>>723210018SoP was mostly garbage and unironically used the bones of a good game
>>723210045>at launchokay you seriously don't get it and you exposed yourself as a definite newfagthe discussion is about the hype points of the game overall kekdo you not know what "era" means
>>723210142Wrong
>>723210031>say you don't think a games that bad or that the hates a little overdone>immediate chimpout over "cultists" and "toxic positivity" ruining the community they're totally a part of
>>723210371haha look at that cat he so silly
>>723210371Every single time I read "toxic positivity in the community" I wonder who they were talking to and I think it was probably a clickbait video's thumbnail they were talking to.
>>723210142sop's story could have been better but it was still pretty good
>>723180140He should direct FFXVII and give it KH combat desu
>>723210612Just like Days. Also written by Nomura and his eroge writer friend.

However, players are now able to cast spells that can stack to form Dual or Triple Techs a la FFCC, making it ATB ver. 2.5.>Haven't really thought of a technical team, but it would be fun to get the XV guys to work on a much smaller project where they can finetune and optimize code to death. There are still many talented guys with a 7.8/10 albatross on their neck.
