The amount of damage endwalker and dawntrail have done to this game's setting and aesthetics is fucking ridiculous. Genuinely baffling they keep pushing for this instead of trying to correct it. Behead everyone at squareenix.

Difference is that Allagan and Garlean magitek are still fantastical and stylistically fit the general setting of the game
Modern fashion and the PSO-esque shit from Dawntrail do not and stick out like a sore thumb

You chisel Hawaiian magical inscriptions on rocks and then zap it and it makes the magic automatically work which then just conjures the idea of computers and Amazon shopping into the collective consciousness so you can buy Uniqlo shirts at the Gold Saucer (which has no Hawaiian lightning rocks). Maybe don't skip cutscenes next time mmkay?

Yes, Endwalker was when they started to drop the ball on maintaining the interesting aesthetic for the fantasy tech, correct. But it wasn't quite as egregious as it is now so there weren't as many complaints.

Garlean and Allagan tech still feels relatively fantastical while S9 is just straight up full sci-fi and after going to the Ninth, completely out of place everywhere

>Electrope has the ability to change levin aether into any other type of elemental aether based on the runes carved into it.
Electrope doesn't do that, the arcanima changes the aether and the electrope is just the medium.
>aetherochemistry
That's a pretty broad term. There are branches of aetherochemistry that use imprisoned primals and direct their abilities to create technology like the Genesis Expression or the Crystal Engine or trigger weapons. There are branches that work like alchemy. You'd have to be more specific.
>magitek
Assuming you mean Garlean magitek, they mostly use ceruleum to fuel combustion engines.

They're not using it for cars. There's no balloon there. Instead, there are weird high tech hoverboard things in place of wheels. It's a completely different technology.

It effectively is, retard. Ceruleum gas is lighter than air and used to make airships float. The cars, on the other hand, are meant to float using the machinery that replaced the wheels and not through fucking boyancy.

I get the urge to play FFXIV every now and then, but then I remember Dawntrail and Wuk Lamat and how the fuck did they think, did they come to that conclusion that's what I wanted to play to experience?
Then I see the people leading the game, influencing the game and how utterly retarded they are these days. This one is Soken, but each and every FFXIV developer said something equally as stupid in the end of year interview with Famitsu.
These are the people in charge of FFXIV, influencing the game at the top. All completely clueless about the wider game industry about what is out there.

What other mechanism do you see there? Why does it have some kind of high tech machinery in place of the wheels, aimed downwards and facing slightly out to provide both stability and lift? If it didn't need them for lift, why would they be there at all instead of some kind of landing gear?
>It's like assuming the little bitch wings in the earlier images are what keep the tech aloft

Doesn't specify that the gas in question is ceruleum, only that the engines are powered by it. This thread is the first time I ever remember hearing anyone suggest that the gas in ffxiv airships is ceruleum instead of just any other lighter-than-air gas.

>“While the advent of flight in Aldenard is attributed to the Ixal, in neighboring Ilsabard the technology was brought to bloom by Garlean hands. In the Sixth Astral Era, at the beginning of the sixteenth century, then legatus Solus Galvus ushered in the magitek revolution, which saw machina undergo rapid advancement, flying craft chief among them. Republic engineers eventually arrived at a design employing ceruleum-gas-filled sacs for lift and ceruleum-powered mechanical wings for propulsion. Dubbed ‘airships,’ these machines were instrumental in the newborn Empire’s efforts at territorial expansion, and further evolved through a technique acquired in annexed lands - the trapping of wind-aspected aether in special cloths. This led to the development of sophisticated aether-infused wings which, combined with the Empire’s relentless pursuit of military might, gave rise to the steelclad craft whose menacing silhouettes are feared across the land.”

As I said, and was posted >>729504158
the tiny winglets on Garlean airships are used for stability and thrust, not lift. We don't know the mechanisms, and unless we get a Garlemald restoration we won't for a while.
>The little bitch wings are a vital part of staying aloft, yes. They're treated with materials that enhance their wind-aspect.
Them helping keeping aloft and being the main provider of lift are two distinct differences.

They do, but it has been made not to matter. The last time resistances (not even elemental, just magic in general) mattered was in ARR when DRG had the lowers MDef of all Jobs and ate more shit in AoE in coil.

EW was, overall, a great ending to 1.0 to 6.0. It was rushed but all in all it did what FF games were always great at doing: Pulling at your heartstrings and making the journey feel worth it at the end.

It was 100% an internal decision to finish all plot strings (like the 12) before giving the project to a new team under Yoshida.

Sadly, the new team is 90% raid brained, so all they can put out is savage fights.

So instead of a 15 second tank CD with 2 stacks you have mudra stacks that give you a 15 seconds unique tank CD.

Had that with NIN, was removed because completely evading a physical attack didn't play will with encounter design.

The issue is not the Jobs, it is the fight design. Anything unique or fun you bring to a Job will be patched out within 2 patches because boss X has a specific choreography that needs to be adhered to. Last victim of that: RDM """"melee"""" combo. And the fun part? Most if not all of the raiding crowd cheers these changes because nothing is allowed to get between them and their FFlogs.

I remember during the lead up to DT, people were defending this image. They were trying SO HARD to call everyone a 'doomsissy' who didn't think pic related was the best thing ever, despite it looking nothing like XIV.
The real S9 we got was even worse and somehow more boring and generic.

You stupid motherfucker the point wasn't to "justify" their actions, if their actions were "justified" then the player would have no reason to oppose them. You still fight them because their motivations arent enough to justify their actions. Jesus fucking Christ how can you not grasp such a simple concept?

>>
>>729510343
I didn't say 'justify' you moron, because a motivation has to be understandable before it can be justifiable. Emet-Selch's motivation is fundamentally not understandable beyond the most basic idea of him wanting to kill everyone to bring back some nebulous 'better time' that's completely absent from the plot. "But Amaurot", would be an argument, except the Amaurot presented is an illusion conjured by Emet-Selch himself based on his distorted personal view, and even THEN it's falling apart at the seams.
There is no counterbalance to make Emet-Selch's motivation reasonable in the slightest. All he does is shuffle around pretending to be clever until you finally corner him and he goes "NUH UH, YOU'RE ALL INFERIOR! COME SEE THIS APOCALYPSE WE COULDN'T STOP!" with a notable underlying theme that it was the Ancients themselves who caused said Apocalypse with their unique form of magic.
NOTHING Emet says is actually substantial or notably moving because at the end of the day HE'S STILL A FUCKING ASCIAN. Giving the Ascians a reason to worship the Evil God of Darkness does not inherently make them more engaging, especially when that reason is somehow worse than "They're evil wizards who want to rule the world"
Shadowbringers simultaneously tries to shove the Ancients to the forefront of the plot while not actually fucking explaining anything about them beyond the fact they killed themselves, and that the Ascians are pissy about it.
>>
>>729510686
You actually don't because if you actually abused the vote dismiss system like this you would have done it once or twice before likely getting gaoled and given a talk by a GM because someone reported you for it

Counter argument, garlean looked like loads of different FF "technologically advanced" empires so it worked fine. Magitek.
Late Allagan made skintight bodysuit armor and other rad stuff so they get a pass, early allagan looked like Garlean+++ so mostly magitek.
Everything in Alexandria feels mostly just tech. It's not even something I heavily mind, but they made everything boring.

We got nothing as cool as hrothgar in a coat but like 4 variations that emulate it but less cool. The SE ethics department absolutely gutted everything.

Your argument basically boils down to "I didnt find it interesting" when it comes to the Ancients and their motivations. The Ancients wanting to reclaim the world for their lost civilization is fine enough motivation for their actions, what more did you want?

Yes. Instead of repairing everything at once, the game repairs every category separately. Manually doing it is unironically way faster than pressing Repair All.

Venat states, while in Elpis, that seeing forward in time isn't something unknown, just harder to do than seeing back in time, which is easy (for ancients) because everything you do leaves ripples in the aether, and you can sort of just rewind the ripples.

>The Ancients wanting to reclaim the world for their lost civilization is fine enough motivation for their actions, what more did you want?
That motivation becomes utterly deflated when the story presents that the Ancients are the ones who destroyed themselves in the first place through the overuse of Creation magic. If it was a case of them wanting to build a fully new society of super Magic users under Zodiark then that would have understandable. Instead they just want to bring back the Ancients because it'll totally work this time.
Ironically Elidibus actually does have a pretty compelling narrative that branches off from this given his unique status and role, given he no longer even knows what he's actually fighting for outside a vague idea of 'his people', which in turn actually helps develop Zodiark from being a very nebulous entity into a more understandable force of 'evil'.
At the end of the day the problem is just the Ancients and an over-reliance on them to carry Emet-Selch's motivation and methodology, which doesn't work when all that's known of the Ancients is that they died and that Emet is a smug asshole about it.
It's all made even worse in Endwalker but that's a whole other problem.
>>
>>729511082
I'm still fucking mad using one of those sweet solution 9 bikes was never part of the plot, if they wanted to keep it as a gil thing just have the one you use in the plot get destroyed afterwards, it could have easily fit into either the MSQ or the arcadion
>>
>>729511516
The only use I can see is using it for the odd one off mechanic. You can keep it open mid pull as like a cheat sheet, which might be nice. Better than using a macro or whatever. But it won't overtake raidplan or hector videos.
