The eminent Final Fantasy XIV patch 4.5 has been out for several years now. What will you do when 8.0 fixes everything?
For me I have 2 fish left to finish on my alt char. S yay.
>>733678014>big fishing on an altyou are some sort of animal
What do (You) want from 8.0?Any hopes?Any fears?
>>733679343i think yoshi-p has been made aware that A: his ideas are antiquated (occult crescent and quantum)B: his staff still needs him around to supervise and he can't delegate it (QA, the MSQ)C: the graphics update didn't get the return they wantedthe sound department feels like the only section that can stand up on its own
>>733679494OC and quant could've worked 6 years agobut yoship is old and he can't follow the times
>>733679343Healer + Phys Range JobMore fucking MSQ voice acting, use AI if you have toMore housing plotsMore glamour dresser slotsA single Field Operation zone, just start over with what Occult Crescent should've been
>>733679924CODCAR i was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. when he said that you only needed 12 people to clear it i thought it was the start of a dev-approved mercenary culture meant to combat the RMT boosting services. shit was thrown at the wall and it didn't stick. thats fine, it was a KFC day disaster.OC was when the mask fell off I think. The obtuse method of entering FT, FT not having a normal mode and the treasure chest system and loot tables feel all sorts of lazy. phantom jobs are mostly 'press X to awesome' or 'press X to progress'. "Too many people were playing DRS" is gonna be my favorite quote for years to come, its on the same level as 'Out of season april fool's joke'quantum is a 'who the fuck asked for this' and 'why is this tacked onto the deep dungeon'. PT however is the best deep dungeon and i hope the additional checkpoints are backported onto the others
>>733680159>use AI if you have tono >:(
>>733680323Based Broccoli with the real perspectiveWhat kind of person curses player engagement?
>>7336772508.0 will only continue making the current problems more prevalent. I don't have faith that the current team can bring in the extensive changes to needed to fully right the ship.
>>733680159I'm surprised no one has made a mod that just puts voices into the non-voiced cutscenesThen again, I guess that would require reworking the lips and maybe some other animations, so it's a good bit more complicated than just giving lines for AI to record
>>733681210They don't have the manpower to fix everything or release content frequently enough and SE's leadership will never let them have it because in their eyes this game is supposed to run on just a shoestring budget yet produce truckoads of money
>>733680159>new healeri'd rather them give AST a more solidified job identity. it being the 'random bullshit go' healer is fine but i think it could have a bit more depth, like how WHM and SGE get extra dps from healing>VAthere is no benefit to voice acting. read nigga>glamour dresser slotsbanish the packrat demon in your soul. you don't need to keep everything
>>733681115well he thinks that experienced players will carry newer players. and he's right, they will.the problem is that content where that philsophy applies is very anti-carry. body checks, dps checks, mechanics where one player can kill others.good players CAN drag new players across the line in things like CLL, Dalriada, anything under extreme trials really, especially alliance raids. but they won't unless:>there is no inconvenience in doing so>its actually possible to do so
It's me, Abel Lowgust! Thanks for using my thread,
>>733679343ChemistThat's all I want
>>733680323Never seen so many buzzwords from a non-playerStick to posting crystal tower
I've noticed that raiders have come to hold, what I like to call call, a "noble savage" view of Mr. Ozma.
>>733681210>>733681368Newbies only care about the story and seeing their scion barbies on screen. Everything else is secondary, all they have to do is shove Graha, Emet, Estinien, Yshtola, and Thancred in our faces for 90% of the MSQ and everyone will pretend the game is saved even if nothing else is changed one bit.
>>733679494>the sound department feels like the only section that can stand up on its ownListen to any of the sfx for Dawntrail skills and say that again.
>>733679343Still stealing I see?
I wonder, how much does Squeenix rely on FFXIV? Seeing the FF franchise numbers plummet after XV and their constant failed projects one would think they are on life support but they seem to be doing just fine.
>>733677250This game is so fucking dead even these threads which used to hit bump limit barely get more than 30 replies
>Dude let's make a walking city to survive calamities>TERRIBLY OVERUSES AETHER>dude let's become immortal to survive calamities >TERRIBLY OVERUSES AETHER >DUDE LET'S MAKE A GOD TO SURVIVE CALAMITIES >TERRIBLY OVERUSES AETHER >DUUUUUUDE DRAGON MOON SOLAR PANEL WE CAN DEFINITELY SURVIVE CALAMITIES WITH THAT>TERRIBLY OVERUSES AETHER>Tfw garlemald is one of the most sane and competent resource users in the setting How isn't the how grabbing sphene by the neck whenever one of her citizens blurts out gaslit opinions about immortality after the shit he saw from edda to the void is beyond human comprehension
>>733683906SE is not doing well, but gacha accounts for way more than XIV. If they lose their gachas, it's over for them. If they lose XIV, they could limp along and cut costs to rebuild eventually.
>>733683906the mmo department is the only one bringing in money
>>733683470>swings a grocery bag aroundenjoy your gunbreaker
>>733683092>>733677250These two posts come from the same 'person'.
>>733684209I only ever see them shutting them down a few of them each year

>>733685406the limit break crunch is the best sound in the whole gameafter that its Holy
>>733686482I really like Bahamut's Wyrmwaves but you can only appreciate it with headphones on. It's a very satisfying thud.
>>733686520Flare and Despair are really meaty sounds too. different flavors of fwooomp
>>733679343Non-dogshit job design first and foremost, non-dogshit msq if possible.
>>733686520Big fan of Circle of Scorn
>Nastrond and Stardiver SFX
for me, the red mage combo
stop making these threads until a real update, there is nothing to discuss
How can people not do mechanics?How can they do something dozens, hundreds of times, and then still fuck it up?I do not fucking understand. This game isn't hard. You just go stand where you need to.Every night I finish raiding, I understand how the jews view goyim.
oh nononononoo
>>733693720the average player of this game is absolute garbage anon
>>733694160chibi alisaie has seen some shit
i have a powerful attraction to thighlandersthat is all
>>733693720You must consider that the average player is on par with BossmanJack right there, true goycattleHope this helps, may God have mercy on you and your parties Anon
So how was savage howling wolf and el presidente? I only did wicked thunder and it was ok.Were they kino-er than prime lahabread or ultima athena?
>>733680159There’s no point adding a new healer when it’s just going to play exactly identically to the other 4
>>733677250ah ye browski 8.0 will remove Dawntrail comeplety along with its characters cant wait
>>733690552There's something incredibly satisfying with reaper's LB3, Viper's as well but especially Reaper
>>733679343Take back viper and give us corsair like everyone wanted.
>>733683391seething garelniggers never learn.
>>733694160alisaie is a pig
>>733695003>those subtle breathy sounds your avatar makes during the LB3
>>733695095They should have just made Viper an Alexandrian dual wield knight with a different name JudgeViper is so gay in DT and Turali lore
>>733694737Pandaemonium as a whole was awful and Arcadion has surpassed basically everything except Alexander which is borderline impossible with Yoshida's modern philosophy.
that tfw when you make an arr era reference and get fluoride stares because the only people left are post-shbfags
>>733695759remember that dude who thought that being able to use Hawk's Eye made rogue better than ninja?
>>733695865I would really prefer if you'd be quiet.]
>>733696075i have neither the capacity or the inclination
>>733677250I'm coming back tomorrow. I haven't missed a seasonal event since I started playing. And 8.0 won't be shown until April so, i'm more excited to see beastmaster 7.5
>>733696170>daguza SUS will train us finally.
https://poal.me/hjspamhttps://poal.me/hjspamhttps://poal.me/hjspam
Viper would be fine if they made ninja into a tank like it should've been.
>>733696498Much as XIV likes to reference XI and was originally built by many of XI's staffers I would rather XIV wasn't a slave to XI's sense of job identity
>>733696610Thats because you're trans and or an indian.
>>733677250If Kate is still around it is not fixed. We will see at the Fanfest if there is hope.
>>733696170>I haven't missed a seasonal event since I started playin>I'm coming back tomorrowAnon I...
>>733694737Wolf was fun, but president kinda sucked.
>>733697013EVERYTHING BURNSsuch a dumb fucking song
>>733697013President was fairly disappointing on normal difficulty, could tell instantly he was One Of Those Bosses that has everything actually neat tucked back into Savage
Go outside and touch grass, that will help start fixing your terminally online brains
>>733679343>HopesSqueenix goes bankrupt and closes FFXIV>FearsThey won't
>>733681576>there is no benefit to voice acting. read nigga>>>>>>>/lit/
>>733696787Are you retarded or just esl?
>>733679343>hopesmake jobs distinct and fun to playcontinuing from the above, kill the 2 min metagive us regional cross-DC DF and PFthat's all I want, everything else is just a bonus>fearsnothing changes and the game stays te same as it has been for the last 4 years or worse
>>733697339The problem with Savage president is that its one of those super rigid fights where literally nothing happens unless people fuck up. If everyone in the group knows what they're doing he's a fucking striking dummy.
>>733697907Exactly! It's all just a dance routine. Mess up once and it's over. Keeps everything way too predictable.
>>733679343since the hack writers took over in 5.0 and just copy paste ff11 expansions into the game now I hope they rip off Chains of Promathia next
>>733697907Yeah kind of a nothingburger fight in the end despite it, though after they mentioned they basically wrote Arcadion to have somewhere to use the song that they got I dunno if it would've ended any other way
Dude, I love lalafell general on /v/!
>>733698815too bad, lalas are dead
>>733698815There's like three in the thread fucking settle down.
>>733698815>make a disgusting (((merchant)))-coded race>almost all the playerbase hate themHow did they get away with it?
>>733680323It is very clear that Yoshida is the spokesperson and does very little directing at this point. Codcar, FT and Quantum are all Ozma's work.
lalafells owe me sex
>>733698815We run this shit!
>>733698879Shhh. She's just sleeping.
>>733677250>8.0 fixes everythingyou don't have to wait that long for plogons to be fixed tho
>>733698951Because there are a total of 4 that you don't fucking hate and the best of them died years ago.The only people who like lalas in general are unserious memers, and fetishists.Though it seems they're trying to have a redemption arc for the race now.
>>733693720Mechanics are for cars
>>733699649The only lala I hate is that meme engineer from the end of EW. I'm completely indifferent to the ones I was supposed to dislike like Teledji.
Is there a plugin that lets you un-highlight spells on your bars if you don't have enough time to cast them before their proc expires?
>>733677250will it make the rotations not extremely brain dead? I'm not coming back until healers dps rotations aren't literally 1 button spam
>>733677250I stopped caring about this game after I finished base game Endwalker. I was satisfied with the ending even if it was very far from perfect. Everything after that gives me the same kind of feeling I get from FFIV:The After Years.
>>733679343an excellent storyI need the best story in FF franchise history to make up for dogshit Dawntrail with intriguing lore to make up for the bullshit they've been putting out for worldbuilding since Endwalker.I want exp to matter in some way past level cap. Prestige, exp leaderboards like Runescape, or something original, idc. But I need number to go up while I mindlessly grind achievements.Another jailbait cutie central to the plot. While they're at it, bring back Gaia and Ryne and keep Sphene.A plot without the Scions needing to tag along.More loot content like Treasure Maps. Something new I guess. Just new types of content in general. I like that they try every expac. Deep dungeons, Variant, Field Duties, even though they fucked up Diadem 4 times at least they give enough of a shit to try.
>>733695759I was helping an FC friend prog M12S and brought up Foresight/Keen Flurry/Skull Sunder for Dragoon tanking and felt like a total boomerUnrelated, thank God for open glamsI love wearing armor on Viper
>>733698815And it will always stay that way, faggot
>>733679343>Other tanks brought up to parity with pld for raid utility>DRK rework. Minimal changes to PLD OR bring back ShB pld>2 min buff meta changed into 3 min buff meta to allow 90 second and 60 second jobs again>Removal of regen and barrier healer distinction (unlikely)>Carbuncle gets an auto-attack, fire the dev that hates pet jobs>Fire the dev that hates dots>Fire the dev that likes dots that don't do any dot damage>Promote the devs who made Arcadion>Make the guy who wrote the Arcadion storyline into head writer
>>733696170>beastmasterahem, it's allied societal master now, you chud
>>733695759two carrion flies latched to your post almost immediately
>>733702338>Fire the dev that hates dotsDot removal is due to engine problems with dots/buffs. There are hard coded limits on how much shit can be on a character/boss at once and it causes all kinds of problems when you go over it.
>>733683507Thats the actual alphiposter
>>733699649I just think they are cute. Well that and three of the main ones you interact with are full on ride or die for the WoL. I can think of like, only four other characters outside the Scions that are like that.
>>733704302No it isn'the's still stealing
