The soul of Final Fantasy is at stake. Will 8.0 fix its issues or will the last good final fantasy be made over 20 years ago?
They need to change way too much for 8.0 to be regarded as game-saving by the players. I doubt there's ever gonna be a second 2.0 situation.
>>736056503I hope they start making the major changes this game needs but I don't believe they will.
'shtola
>>736057102Brutally mogged by her sister.
>>736056921if they give us a good MSQ and less savage only bullshit it will be fixed
>>736056503this is official art from the new dissidia game. they're on the mend
>>736056921It's all marketing talk until I see otherwiseJust don't do "Dawntrail" ever again for the love of God
>>736058610needs braces
Is there any head piece that resembles a hachimaki?
>>736059137Yes.
>>736056921Literally all it needs is a good MSQ for 80 percent of players to be satisficed. See: Shadowbringers being regarded as the peak of the game despite having almost no content because of the coof
>>736059314the extra 3 months they had made 5.3 pop though
>>736056503Alright fellas, I wanna hear your hopes/dreams for 8.0 classes.What do you want to see for>New classes>Addition to old classes>Removal from old classes
>>736056921They don't need a second 2.0 situation because the current game as bad as it is isn't in the same condition as 1.0.They do need a Shadowbringers situation though, and I agree with you that I don't know how they can manage that without making large changes to the game.>>736058503That's the best Krile art I've seen official or otherwise. Cute, aesthetically pleasing, and sexy.
>>736059485>new classesthe aesthetics of the classes don't particularly matter. tank and ranged dps with interesting gimmicks would be great. pictomancer's gimmick for example is capitalizing on downtime>addition to old classes>remove from old classesGCD healing needs to become the standard. far too many ogcd buttons that do the exact same thing, and M6S filtering everyone who didn't figure out that gcd healing for a minute or two would fix the issues. also, healers should be further specialized, which means white mage shouldn't get shields and scholar shouldn't get HoTs. damage downs as a % like temperance is fine. i'd also like to see something done with AST cards yet again. so far we've had>6 different effects, people only used 1>3 different effects but two flavors>3 different effects but two flavors that gave personal buffs as well>2 different effects but you only get 1 offensive and 2 defensive charges at a time and its standard practice to toss out the first 2 defensives to get to the other offensiveI honestly don't know what to do with cards at this point. maybe just make them 'oops all balance' with different spell effects and let them have their fun. and make a spell that looks like a clock going faster with an accelerating wind up sound so the people who think AST isn't time mage will stfu forever.as for sage, the proposed GCD change would really bolster sage's fun factor as you'd get to use toxikon more often and would put it on par with whm's afflatus system. white mage starting with full lilies was my only real ask in the past and now we have thatscholar remains an excellently designed class that hasn't changed much since stormblood. its 100 capstone ability is a little weird with the niche its intended to fill. and while i understand the angel imagery fits, most secondaries don't so we can pull accession. i also fear Lily is going to be culled to finally eliminate the last of the pet classes (summoner really doesn't count any more)
>>736060448>I honestly don't know what to do with cards at this point.Go back to Royal Road AST but lower the cooldown of Draw to 10 seconds so you're always managing cards in some way.
>>736059752ethics departments hate her
>>736060563thats what i mean. just all cards being damage up again, but this time aoe. or the first one every minute is aoe, or a separate spread buttonalso, forgot to add this: MP management needs to come back. make lucid dreaming less potent or make Glare-equivalents cost more MP. maybe then piety could see some use cases
>>736058503Omg Krile, hi!
first i need a streamer to tell me whether i should hate it and whether or not it decides square enix's fate and whether yoshida is washed up
>>736060615The entire reason for the Ethics Department was to ensure compliance with ESG stipulations in order to qualify for loans from Blackrock and Vanguard.Blackrock CEO Larry Fink was on Fox News very recently stating that ESG and Woke were a failed project and they were retreating from the practice and returning to pragmatic investment.So the only reason for Square Enix to go so woke, to pozz itself and fill itself with DEI and LGBTQ bullshit to qualify for venture capital from Blackrock well it no longer exists.So they can get rid of the Ethics Department, they can return to sexy women in their games, I didn't like FF15 but I did like Cindy with her beautiful character model and big tits.They need to bring that energy back into FF14 and before LGBTQ types say "oh you're a gooner" yeah? So are you that's why you mod your characters to fuck each other, why Mare was so popular over a million of you used it, why you to this day do gooner g-poses to repost on discord for your discord kittens.At least I'm honest with myself you fuckers aren't. I want some sexiness brought back into the game, into the story, into the characters.
>>736061649Even with the watering down of the sexy since Endwalker, FFXIV is still the most sex-charged FF when you take into account all the stuff in the game prior to EW.That being said, I do agree we need more NPC bubble dialogue hinting at these people not being barbie and ken dolls when you take off their underwear.
>>736061649how would you add sex tastefully to the MSQ?there are a few rules though:>WoL can't be involved>scions very likely can't be involved due to powerful WoL shippingjust have more Vamp Fatale types?
>>736061915I think he's one of those that mistakes Diva Mizuki proportioned Tifa porn for actual FF7 hard canon
>>736061649Just look at Blizzard Entertainment. They already injected wokeness and LGBTQ+ agendas to their games, like they did with World of Warcraft that just added the Darkspear Dash Pride event to help fund the Trevor Project to groom kids into troons. And I thought Blizzard Entertainment cares about the younger players?
>>736061952having a boob joke in 14 could be funny. especially if its at Alisaie's expense
>>736061952This, there's no sexuality at all in FF7. Grow the fuck up.
>looking through PF for things to do>see Pilgrim's Traverse party>70-100>3/4 full>excellent>one melee dps>one healer>close PF>log out>
>>736061649You know things are fucked when weirdos give you shit for liking fat titties and nice asses like that wasn't normal for all of human historyFuck em Anon, you do you
>>736062083Obviously yeah her boobs are played for laughs in a couple of the CG cutscenes but let's not pretend anybody gave a fuck when Kingdom Hearts 2 and Dissidia 012 (especially 012) shrank her bust in comparisonIt's up there with people willfully choosing to not understand that Tifa's bust in Remake/Rebirth is pretty fucking huge WITH a compression shirt on, because they're all busy attacking that "ethics department" blurb from Nomura and, again willfully, choosing to not understand that it's an internal service used to tone things down so they can achieve a targeted CERO ratingIf anything these types of people should be cheering that FFXIV in particular is choosing to not change anything about the /gpose feature and getting a raised CERO rating after 8.0 as a result
>>736062223>new CERO ratingis it them standing on their principles, or just too lazy to nerf all the pantyshots in ARR gear?
>>736062324Most likely the latter but the reasoning doesn't really matter much, the "principled" option also means they don't have to do a lot of work
>>736062223>Obviously yeah her boobs are played for laughs in a couple of the CG cutscenesWhere's the comedy? This is pure cope.>but let's not pretend anybody gave a fuck when Kingdom Hearts 2 and Dissidia 012 (especially 012) shrank her bust in comparisonLook at the video game instead of art.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLkoG91NhxgHer tits jiggle all over the place in her intro and outro poses.This seems to be a pet issue of yours. I wonder why. And yes I know exactly who you are.
>>736062391>her tits bouncing around comically isn't comedy>her tits jiggle in her intro so nomura-drawn art doesn't count and her reduced bust doesn't count>wharrgarbl i know who you are you'll never escape me i am sillyYou have got to be fucking kidding me with this Barry shit
>>736062480>her tits bouncing around comically isn't comedyIt's called fanservice. There's no comedy there.>You have got to be fucking kidding me with this Barry shitI can start posting your past posts about this same issue and connecting them to your habitual Wuk defense, if you'd like. You're dumb enough to use the exact same wording and the exact same reaction images. You're a fucking clown who for some reason has decided to make Tifa censorship into one of your pet issues alongside Wuk. I wonder why? Hmmmmmmmm, what do these two topics have in common, I wonder?
>>736062567Chat I'm not sure which is worse, that he's trolling or that he's serious
>>736062616It's about that time of the thread you start screaming about goobergators.
>>736062668Total redemption when Rebirth came and showed how massive her tits were WITH jiggle too.The tradeoff was more gay blacks from cosmo canyon.
>>736062826The random side NPCs were fucking hideous throughout, especially the blacks. But yeah the rest of the game was good enough to make the tradeoff worth it. I felt Tifa's face looked a little off though.
>>736062391>>736062567>>736062668Behold the only man on the planet to ever associate Tifa's boobs with Wuk Lamat and Gamergate via unrelated 4chan posts from other times he got into an argument about it. But he's not the crazy one, here. He'll catch him one day, you know. The white whale.
will winterwolves be a lala expansion?
>>736063268can't wait for a faithful recreation of Otherworld when we fight not-Sin
>>736063187You literally use the exact same wording and reaction images. Do you honestly think people are retarded enough not to notice that? So are you going to tell us why this is such an important issue for you?
>>736063336>interacting with a lulcow on a meaningful levelyou point and laugh and call them a retard and thats all
>>736063394hold on now this is lolcow on lolcow violence we're seeing here. the tastiest kind even. one of them is totally convinced he isn't a lolcow, just their hunter. let em have at it. the secondhand embarrassment is at its peak when one of the two thinks he's only being ironic.

>>736058503Wait is this actually meant to be Krile? It doesn't look like a lalafell at all
>>736064518thats Terra from FF6 but as a loli
i love elf thighs
>>736064475what blue mage spells can only be gotten in extremes? i don't think thats the case for any spell
>>736064691Garuda and Shiva are ex only I'm pretty sure. I don't think they use those spells in the easier versions.
>>736064691I think it's the Shiva one and one otherOf course you can just unsync it but if you unsync it's only like a 5% chance to get it
>>736064762>>736064792ah, forgot. been like 8 years since 4.5

>>736064845Screencap-kun still going from earlierhttps://arch.b4k.dev/_/search/text/manly%20fart%20stink/
>>736064945Oh hey, if you look at that you can see all the posts you deleted out of raw asshurt.
>>736056503I feel like they're making some decent changes but that's too slow and too late at this point. At this point it just slows down the death of the game. What basically every multiplayer game needs is a healthy "flow" of players. People are always quitting the game for various reasons, sometimes they don't like the game anymore, sometimes the life stuff happens. Then there are always new players. The game is healthy if the number of quitting players equals the number of new players. It earns a steady amount of money, doesn't cause any technical issues of overcrowding, doesn't require big investments in new servers, etc. Current changes won't make people join the game in huge numbers. The game needs something really big, maybe not 2.0 big but still big.
>>736065390well, at least we won't have server capacity issues. lol
>>736065001He did it again, lol >>736064061

>>736066681They're due for a dyeable crafted version in 8.0. There have definitely been worse fashion trends than everyone wearing the casting/healing top with the new slut pants for the next month or so.

trying a vaguepost. whatcha thinksubscribe to my blog i am friendless and don't have anyone else to talk about my inane xiv schizo ramblings to
>>736067685I don't think there will be any change from now to 8.0 with regards to positionals.
>>736067394I legit wonder how it is acceptable to have basically a general thread for this game on v while it is spammed with the same people over and over.
>>736067769it means so little nowadays. doesn't break chain, you still generate resource and true north/bosses turning them off. if melee keep bleating about it i could see them removing it

>>736068635i don't recall Lenna being dressed like a whore in FF5. i'm sure there's a sailor moon abridged joke in here somewherewe know galuf is a monk, bartz is a mime. whats lenna usually portrayed as?
>>736068956I don't recall Lenna usually being depicted with any jobBartz gets Mime so they didn't have to give him a job system in Dissidia/012
>>736068205>Only one townIt would be an impressive step backwards
>>736056921Even if they fired Daichi Hiroi from ever writing another piece of crap story ever again, the damage is done and I doubt they're getting rid of him.
>>736069120i don't think the game is improved by having the playerbase split between two hubs. in all expansions either the city or the vendor hub is far lower in quality than the othermind you, this isn't a blank check for them to slack off. that dev time better go somewhere
>>736059485I'd unironically be ok with no new jobs if we got the actual ones fixed, but that's probably way too much work for Squeenix. I'd settle for the 2.X jobs being fixed.
>>736067924Melees are the biggest fucking crybabies imaginable if they can't just beat on a striking dummy.>DUDE WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS FORCED DOWNTIME THIS IS BULLSHIT"You have more baseline damage because downtime balances you against other jobs.">WOW I CAN'T EVEN HIT A POSITIONAL HERE?

>>736069213I'm eager for all post-patch story to be credited as Hiroi for the lead tooThe humiliation ritual to end all humiliation rituals if the "good parts of Dawntrail" were written by the same guy
>>736069283hiroi's writing is passable. he obviously needs an editor that gets him to not have to explain the same thing 30 times
>>736069305He also needs better context for the rest of the game so he doesn't just take a steamroller to past lore to stretch its gaping ass out for his own ides to overwrite with.
>>736069283You're the only one saying those parts are good. They're not. They're just inoffensive.
>>736069339i'm 100% certain the ff9 theming for dawntrail was yoshi-p's doing
>>736067223>>736068956Yep, this is making me thin lalas won again
>>736069305I'm not sure how much of 7.0 was actually Hiroi considering how odd it is stacked against all his other writing that isn't 6.X and 7.0>>736069397Softball it to avoid calling it "good" or "better" however much you want
>>736069283>Writer improved over the course of 4 yearsOh my god, that's so embarrassing?
>>736069515>Softball it to avoid calling it "good" or "better" however much you wantIt's better because it's inoffensive instead of outright bad. Better does not mean good.
>>736069554>it's better because it's better
>>736069571>better = goodYou're really struggling with the English language, huh?
>>736069409i'm talking shit like zero and the memoriates reworking the entire void war thing, with cylva being retconned to be one too by passive mention, and dawntrail in general retconning the prior new world lore.
>>736069646Slow down Pedro nobody's arguing with you
>>736069732I don't think Zero really retconned anything with how little the events it goes over were actually talked about. Same for Dawntrail, the New World's biggest insight is Blue Mage quests talking about the New World tribe the magic comes from, and everything else is pulled out of the lorebooks like Ketenramm. Biggest retcon there would be it's called Tural and not Mamool Ja.
>>736069738>n-no u...You'll learn English one day. Maybe hang out in Pagos and read shout chat?
>>736069780he did make his passion project. it was meh at best
QRD on Pagos?
>>736069897If this were true he wouldnt keep working with them and leave like many other big names did with other big companies (Ono, Kamiya, Harada, etc. etc.)
>>736070346Taro probably stays at Square Enix because he can keep slaving away in low budget games basically as much as he wants, I imagine it's also true that he fucking hates upper management and the CEO.
>>736070273Little buddy larped about Aether players stealing Cassie from him on Crystal. When asked why he wasn't there to help spawn it, he said he was prioritizing light farm instead of being a sweatlord. When informed that popping Cassie is the fastest light farm method, he swapped to saying that he wasn't a sweatlord who cared about light farming. Basically he has never set foot in Pagos but wants to pretend he's an authority on it and got caught with his pants down.
>>736071049why is this noteworthy
>>736071190It's funny to mock him for being a pompous retard.

>>736056503The MMO was a success but it is so divorced from the ff experience it shouldn't have gotten a mainline number.The soul of FF doesn't rest with 14 so it has no effect on it
>>736071049That's funniWhat's even funnier is the spriggan squad on Aether goes to Dynamis to spawn Cassie during multi weather windows, not Crystal, so that adds to it...Shout out to the Aether farmers, cool people
>>736071049That's a really lame story for something I see brought up in nearly every FF14 thread.
>>736071716>retard hyperfixates on self-percieved 'own' against [thread enemy] and never stops bringing it up in an attempt to 'antagonize' them, even when it has nothing to do with what is being discussed, even tangentiallymany such cases

>>736069213>Daichi HiroiI highly, HIGHLY doubt it was him that singlehandedly shoehorned wuk into virtually every possible fucking turn imaginable.I unironically believe yoshitpiss should be removed from the company entirely if this game ever wants another chance at being good again.

I did 10 hour of Occult Crescent farming chests over the weekend and I’m angry and I hate how I got nothing. Not a single carrot or mount, oh but I got plenty of furniture and minions I already had from other pieces of contentNo one does gold farm anymore because of the pot fate change (not a horrible decision though)Also I missed half the fates because they died in 5 seconds, thanks Square Anus

I left the game after sticking with it since Heavensward and haven't gone back.I never did find out why they did what they did, with the characters, the plot, the music, it was all infuriating, and tainted the whole thing. What a shame.

>>736074165I've dealt in with tiles that the game said where safe (they use the aggro markers for it too which is cute) and those just care about getting you to tenpai the fastest, doesn't mean you are building a good hand. Here's my first yakuman ever.
>>736061649Link to the interview with Fox?
>>736078839osrs' varlamore mogs xivs pathetic excuse of a south american themed expansion
why does he lie so much?
>>736081679>guy calls himself Yoshi-P instead of using the real name Naoki Yoshida>"why does he lie so much?"he was born like that i guess... i wonder how many more lies has he told about ff14 over the years
>>736081641>please play osrsno
>>736068205We like this. This is what XIV is all about, that's plenty of content for an expansion and some might argue it's too much content. I hope Yoshida is taking breaks and drinking water regularly because that's the content delivery only people who work 24/7 make.
>>736056503I wish these fuckers didn't waste numbers on MMO garbage. Too many loony troons.
i dont like air force oneit's boring
>>736082095same, I hope they'll release a more entertaining Air Force Two
>>736082095atleast it's short
>XIV bad because...WE NEED MORE CONTENT Have you considered that the game simply isnt good to play as a baseline and no amount of carrots on the stick will fix this? They could add 10 dungeons, 5 raids, and whole foray zones every patch and it still wouldn't change how boring XIV is to play.
>>736080151it's unironically too easy now
>>736082449It's been too easy since 4.55 when it was first nerfed. 5.1 giving it echo was embarrassing.
>>736082281not really a "more content" issue imo but more variety in MSQ...like, all the MSQ objectives are:>Talk to NPC>unvoiced cutscene of yapping>"Quest Accepted">Go to area>Interact with 3 NPCs or Objects or enter purple zone to kill spawned monsters>Return to NPC>Unvoiced cutscene of nodding and yapping>Fade to black>"Quest Completed">Repeat till level 100if the story isn't great to carry this repetitive gameplay I have no reason to tolerate this in order to unlock every new expac's content
>>736082562I like how they added, albeit very boring, puzzle rooms in 7.3 but everyone complained they couldn't skip cutscene so they went back to usual solo-instance slop in 7.4
>>736082562you forgot the kino quest objectives where you had to wait for wuk lamat three times in a row before cutscene poped up or the immaculate quest where you had to ask 3 people if they are alright after the fake invasion and 1 of them was already alright so you had to find another one
>>736082562FF16 is the same exact shit for the side quests.The actual story and big set piece fights were great. But everything else, eugh.
>>736082635Next expansion's MSQ should be designed by the guy who made La Mulana's puzzles with no skip.
>>736056503hmm... what if... we added more tranny voice actors?hmm yes quite
>>736082753i loved the demo but when it got released and heard this same complain about quest between the kaiju fights I didn't even bother playing it...
>>73608275316's story wasn't even particularly good and the gameplay sucked ass. If I wanted a good singleplayer mmo experience I'd play Xenoblade Chronicles.
>Dawntrail MSQ>15 hours of cutscenes>3 hours for the 6 dungeons>35 minutes for the 3 trials>The rest is just walking around
>>736083083SQUARE ENIX SAMA HERE'S THE MONEY FOR THE EXPANSION AND MY MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION!!!
the irl black dudes that play this game are hella zesty, corny ass mfs
What jobs do you guys think we'll get for 8.0?
>>736083715Unemployed
I really hope they talk about gameplay changes at the fanfest because i don't fucking care if we are going to other shard or other place of the planet,
>>736082449how would be ironically too easy?
>>736084220There arent going to be gameplay changes you stupid slut.
>>736061852Funny you say that, got this from the Anden deliveries a couple days ago.
>>736085841holy FUCK i wish i was a bunnyboy in the greatwoods
>>736062324Hey if they're gonna take a higher age rating anyway can I see the mamool ja bathing dance
This is the last one right?Please don't prequel.png me
>>736086015there's no age rating high enough to show that onscreen anon
>>736086126What about a live performance with no cameras allowed at fanfest
>>736056503I like how one of their explicit specific goals was gaining new players and instead of doing the 1 rational and reasonable move of making XIV-2 they chose more expansions instead.I'd gamble there's at least 1million+ players who bought the game in the old days or tried the F2P option that got filtered by ARR and never even came close to newer content.
>>736086212They just needed to make a way to start at dawntrail rather than XIV-2 as suchI know it's messy plot wise but they basically closed off all the main plot threads in endwalker so surely they could have made it work, even if it's just straight up pretending that you already did it and then the player can go back and do it for real lateralso for onboarding people jumping in at a higher level each job should have a sort of boot camp where you go through each skill in the order they are unlockedFor fucks sake WoW basically forces you into the new stuff every expansion, XIV should have had at least this one jumping on point
>>736080510as a lalafell player all other races look the same to me, especially lizard and cat people
>>736086212>and instead of doing the 1 rational and reasonable move of making XIV-2Hey, remember when the developers of XI started project Rapture with that explicit purpose? How'd that go?
>>736082562Tank GOD it was like this in Dawntrail so I could just skip through it. Imagine this snorefest wouldve had variety like the amount of tailing missions in EW
>>736087178all the npc-hanger on missions and tailgating missions in ew and dt have been so awful I hope they do away with those in 8.0> "but its variety on msq objectives" so?Variety for the sake of it isn't a good thing in and of itselfIf the goal of every patch REALLY is "unlock new trial/raid/field mission asap" then weighing down progression with tripe is just making the game worse
its time for the battle of my life
>>736087491i have no idea how you play this shit, couldnt they add chess or something
>>736087564it has hints that basically play it for you. its kinda like yahtzee or poker
>>736087435I thought they were alright overall, mixes things up. Unlocking raids and trials asap are your own goals, there are plenty people playing the game who don't raid and only unlock these after months. Occult Crescent hasn't had any real updates and it's Instances are still full. You're just too locked in your own bubble.
>>736087657>that basically play it for youAnd like 90% of the time they're objectively the incorrect move.
the EU needs to die so that I can play Blackjack in Gold Saucer
>MSQ on course to push Krile as a major character yet againWill anyone actually care though? Krile isn't particularly popular and they copped out of DT.
>>736087769doing what the hints say will at least get you through novice npc stuff
>>736086845It's been almost a quarter of a century since they started that shit anon. I think enough time has passed for them to try again.More importantly them trying to slam an MMO onto PStripples, the first attempt at online gaming with consoles, was always a recipe for disaster which is why the foundations of FFXIV are completely fucked to this day.
>>736087435>Variety for the sake of it isn't a good thing in and of itselfwell i shouldn't expect that "buying expac = have immediate access to expac's content" but I would have to "farm" for it by doing the same mindnumbing msq
>>736087832total miqote supremacy
>>736087832I liked graha as crystal exarch but I don't really get the hype behind him afterwards.
>>736056921People literally won't care about all the "systemic problems" they suddenly started giving a shit about with dawntrail if the MSQ is good.
>>736088279There's just more voices to counteract them with the "I don't mind" attitude but they all got turned off hard until the next expac so the complainers were having free reign which made them seem louder than they usually are.
>>736088415According to all the "I unsubbed at 7.0" people I see in these threads, I doubt it's just that. Those people didn't even engage in 90% of the content of the expansion. If anything, storyfags joined the old complainers in their cacophony.
>>736088008you have to grind in mmorpgs nigga
>>736065903I want that fucking stupid earring
>>736088808why, so you can show that you're a minor?
>>736088854I dont engage in the general degenrate behavior, besides saying hi and bye i dont talk to people in the game, i'm not even in a FC. I want it for my miner outfit, obviously.

>>736090721>>736090797>one minute aparteither the same dude or the latter is just waiting for the lala to post
>>736091074The best part is both are equally likely
>>736091150bad isn't it. imagine having a parasocial relationship with someone else's avatar
Today I saw a tweet about someone complaining their friend is cutscene skipping in Shadowbringers when they admitted to telling said friend it was ok to skip cutscenes until Shadowbringers. I think that captures the issue with modern XIV players; they are arrested development manchildren and womenchildren who only want to relive playing shadowbringers during covid. These are the people that the game heavily caters to, and that's a much bigger issue than Shitroi because at least you an can a bad writer, you can't really flush out the tumblr refuse once it has latched on.
>>736091289Given it's specifically Shadowbringers I'd call that Twitter refuse or Twitch refuse
>>736091361Its the tumblr/stan mentality, twitter is basically where everything mixes but a lot of this stuff came from other sites originally.
>>736091030If your options are to try pushing busted broken XIV further and fail or try to make something new and possibly succeed or fail, then it's barely a choice.Why am I even arguing with you, when 8.55 arrives and the game is EoS'd by SE because FFXI has more players than XIV only then will you understand.
>>736091717Ask yourself why every other live service game and MMO on the planet does not make sequels
>wokeDT is XIV 2>bespokeARR is XIV 2
>>736091786but muh patterns. ff11 had two games between it and ff14
>>736091247can't be worse than having a parasocial relationship with anons on /v/ for over five years
>>736092338Both are dripping with sin
>>736092338who are you talking about? is this the legendary vague posting?
>>736083715>What jobs do you guys think we'll get for 8.0?Hopefully none. Just stop making new jobs that are barely different from the current ones and start (re-)diversifying all the ones that already exist.
>>736091786League doesn't need a League 2 because it has working foundations and is a fuckass completely different genre nigh comparable. Same for DotA2, despite the fact that it is by definition a sequel with the whole "2" thing...WoW has dumped more money into reinventing itself several times from early game to late game than XIV has ever had budget in it's entire lifetime, it can't be compared to XIV on that front. Despite this it immensely suffers from going on too long and people regularly ask for a WoW2 and Classic+.Fortnite literally partly reinvented itself with the battle royal bullshit, you're free to go lookup the weird builder / coop shenanigans that game used to be before they hit the gravy train.Destiny literally got a sequel with said sequel currently in it's death throes right alongside Marathon because Bungie is Bungie.You ask me to compare XIV and the concept of an XIV-2 to the few games that have lived long enough to be compared to it. Save for WoW being it's only genre specific direct comparison, none of those games suffer from worst in genre net code, system code, and security code that XIV does.XIV has massive foundation level problems that can never ever be resolved. It's why PvP, despite existing and having a moderate amount of effort and content attached to it, is never even a consideration for the XIV player base. It's never a reason to sub because it's busted as fuck.It's not me wanting an XIV-2, it's XIV needing to do it. The game has already drifted back to SB population and the numbers will be even lower next quarter. It'll be on life support and then dead.The fuck do you think an 8.0 gameplay change up will do? Do you expect them to fix the old areas as well as adding new shit for the new ones? The game is already split up by ARR-SB having completely different gameplay when 5.0 changed how players engage with the game, if 8.0 does that shit again you'll have the ARR-SB era then the ShB-DT era alongside another new one.
>>736093641>It's why PvP, despite existing and having a moderate amount of effort and content attached to it, is never even a consideration for the XIV player baseIt's rarely a consideration for *any* playerbase, PvP isn't actually that popular unless a game is completely built around it.
NOOOOO
C'mon, do something. Do a trick.

>YoshiP says that younger audiences are not connecting with FF games because of the internerval between game releases is too longGee you think? If only you could have done something about that, if only you were say... the lead Producer (the boss) of a mainline FF release (technically two) and could have done something to decrease the release interval between FF15 and FF16. If only.Reminder FF16 released 3 years ago and FF17 is nowhere in sight, not even rumoured to exist.FFVI, FFVII, FFVII, FFIX, FFX all released within 6-7 years, quicker than the time it took for FF16 to release after FF15 which was around 7-8 years.https://www.ign.com/articles/younger-generations-are-struggling-to-connect-with-the-final-fantasy-series-because-it-takes-so-long-for-new-games-to-come-out-yoshi-p-says
>>736103665>TOPGood luck, Vizzer. It's an experience.
>>736104170Like what?
>>736104245Thanks... hear it's a good one
>>736056503When is fanfest again?
>>736056503Let's be real none of the complainers are even subbed at this point. They are just talking out of their asses about something they haven't played for years. And no, WoWfag that only came over because of Asmaldbald then started identifying as not a newfag anymore a few years later while talking about the good old pre-Shadowbringers days just copy pasting the Vanilla was so much better chants, anything that boils down to "FFXIV should be more like WoW" is not valid, fuck back to WoW and stay the fuck there.
>>736104170and Yoshi also said younger people don't want turn based games
>>736058503Proportions way too thick. Idc if you post that one Amano piece where she looks like an adult she's a sexy little washboard in every other appearance.
>>736105068weak bait
>>736105167ToT
>>736105167Krile according to Amano is just a younger Terra. and Terra's proportions vary from waifish and very thin to being stacked with her ass hanging out. Krile having thick thighs works imo, as she barely has a bust even in that picture
>>736105329>being stacked with her ass hanging outp-proof?
>>736105080Then he's an idiot because one of the most popular and profitable games of all time is turnbased and is played primarily by young peopleHonkai Starrail>The primary audience for Honkai: Star Rail (HSR) consists of males and females in their teens and 20s, according to player analysis and community reports. While the game is rated T for Teen (12+), its turn-based mechanics and "play at your own pace" style are specifically designed to appeal to mature fans and busy adults who may have less time for manual gameplay compared to titles like Genshin Impact.>Honkai: Star Rail is exceptionally popular, maintaining a massive global player base and consistently ranking among the top-grossing mobile games. Since its April 2023 release, it has surpassed 100 million downloads across PC, mobile, and PlayStation 5. Player StatisticsAs of late 2025 and early 2026, the game continues to draw millions of active users: Monthly Active Users (MAU): The game peaked at 30.1 million monthly players in February 2025. It currently maintains approximately 19.4 million MAU as of December 2025.Daily Active Users (DAU): On average, roughly 5.2 million players engage with the game daily.Growth Trends: Between early 2024 and 2025, the player base saw a 66% increase in monthly engagement. I could post more but I think you get the point. YoshiP seems very out of his element here. He also made a number of statements how turnbased and realistic graphics wouldn't work together, that you had to stylise the graphics like Persona for turnbased which is why he chose Action based combat for FF16 but then Exp33 came out and proved him absolutely wrong.
>>736105542specifically, the back facing ones and her KO spriteher being stacked is just something that happens in pixel art at that resolution. an extra pixel for her breasts means she goes from flat to stacked proportionally
>>736105167>this is how a warrior of dawn lets his daughter dress
>>736105167>>736106201granddaughter*
>>736105874HOLY FUCK
>>736105627That audience doesn't BUY games.
I just want it to be an actual game again, going from cutscene to cutscene is already really boring when the story isn't carrying it hard which it isn't at all anymore, so now for me the game was just 'watch a series of really boring cutscenes, get thrown into a dungeon when the mechanics are impossible to actually reasonably guess without already knowing what they do, get one shot by them, repeat until memorize, back to shitty story/cutscenes' i had more doing fate trains to level up to 50 in northern thanalan in 2.0 desu
>>736106483>Financial SuccessThe game is a major financial "juggernaut" for its developer, HoYoverse: >Lifetime Revenue: It crossed $2 billion in mobile revenue alone in March 2025, reaching this milestone just 23 months after launch.2024 Performance: Mobile earnings for 2024 reached $870.9 million, notably outperforming Genshin Impact's mobile revenue during the same period.>Market Leadership: In 2025, it was reported as the highest-grossing anime mobile game, generating over $420 million in that year alone.
>>736101781The Zero stuff plus the new deep dungeon are the setup.>>736101927It doesn’t have a will, it’s just doing what it was programmed to do. Azem could see the future and made it to safely rejoin the shards after Hydaelyn was gone. He was preparing it during the final days, that’s why he fucked off. It’s also just a crystal. The chalice is electrope shit to try and control it. You can see it in the op art.
>>736106496>a dungeon when the mechanics are impossible to actually reasonably guessRetards like you who struggle in fucking dungeons are the reason everything keeps getting dumbed down
>>736056921I actively hope the game shuts down and they make an MMO lite. FFXI getting more players than FFXIV is proof they need to do something major at minimum.
>>736106702>It doesn’t have a willObjects can gain wills if they exist long enough, such as the treasures in Rokkon.
>FFXI getting more players than FFXIV
>>736107039Hope you’re right, an annoying mascot character is just what this game needs for the next decade.
>>736106598Again, that audience doesn't BUY games. HSR is a F2P gacha with a vast majority of freeloaders in it's playerbase.Entirely different from the buy to play audience FF games are aimed for.
>>736107320So what? They spend on games and that's exactly the same with MMOs like FF14. You must be some kinda dunce to be making some queer argument that a game making a huge amount of money from people somehow isn't real because they're not technically 'buying' a game they're paying for in game purchases.
>>736107307is there any metric for ff11 population, aside from speculation about 3 closed servers?
>>736107320>Live service games are a completely different audience from games like FFXIV that are live serviceYeah the audiences don't cross over at all.
>>736107320>HS2 is a F2P gacha >Entirely different from the buy to play audience FF games are aimed for >" Final Fantasy XIV Mobile (in development) and Dissidia Duellum Final Fantasy (released March 2026), are designed to be free-to-play (F2P)"You have no idea what you're talking about.
>>736072617This reminds me of moon over june
>retard talking about two completely different games with two completely different player bases
>>736107307you're joking right?
>>736107887
>>736102707SEXO
>>736107390>>736107481That audience doesn't buy games and pay a fucking sub on top of it. Live service by itself is in fact not a fucking overlap, the types of live services make a massive difference. Most gacha gamers are averse to paying any money and need very insidious gaslighting that only gacha games have with the free to play service being the bait then sunk cost and parasocial emotional investment into the "waifus" being the incentive. The bulk of that colossal revenue is from a few whales spending ludicrous amounts on banners to make their characters stronger for bragging rights and parasocial simping for a character via rolling for five or even more extra copies plus the signature weapon that they may or may not get extra copies of too.The entire business model of the FF franchise including XIV is the complete fucking antithesis of that.Way to self report not playing fucking games again dumbfucks.
>>736108203The only thing you reported on here is that you didn't read my original post here or the article YoshiP was talking about>>736104170Because he's talking about FF Dissidia Deullum, a free to play mobile gacha game deliberately made to try to appeal to the younger audience that plays mobile games like Honkai Starrail. The only thing you've shown here is how much of a fucking retard you are, classic Dunning Kruger effect in action.
>>736107753SE gachas are shitty cashgrabs.No, the already fucking imploding FFXIV Mobile is not going to be a Hoyoverse competitor either.Fucking newfags.
>>736107753you realize ffxiv mobile isn't even made by se? it's just a license tencent bought and only in china, plus it's pretty much dead as shit now
EVERYTHING BURNS!LIGHT IT UPLETS GO! LIGHT IT UPLETS GO!!
>>736108615>SE gachas are shitty cashgrabsNo shit. They're low effort, badly monetised, EOS after a year and rape the nostalgia of the Golden age era of the games. Doesn't stop SE from making them and making the same mistakes because they see the money other Gachas are making and they want in.
I haven't played since finishing Endwalker. Besides the MSQ is the other dawntrail content at least fun?
>>736109126Occult Crescent is like Zadnor but there's no Dalriada and FATEs/CEs appear a lot faster.Pilgrim's Traverse is the best deep dungeon yet, though there's not a lot of people doing it
>>736109126OC is fun for a couple hours but is the worst foray by far, the new DD is a lot better than EWs, cosmic exploration is boring as fuck and is getting far too many updates than it deserves over OC, the raids are very fun
>>736105627i'm not sure what your point is. are you talking about young people or mature adults? because you mentioned both in your post. also you didn't cite any age demographics data, i'm not sure what the point of mentioning player population, but either way the demographic makeup of hsr players isn't publicly known, so i don't know where your confidence in asserting it's played primarily by young people come from (or even what the definition of 'young people' is, considering yoshida never defined the age range himself in the interview)
>>736108750I didn't even know it released, wtf
>>736109126it's fun if you're really into the raiding scene. there isn't much content in dawntrail if you aren't interested in the 'empty boss's/add's hp bar while doing spread/stack/rots/dodge aoe mechanics' formulathe new dd hasn't really improved on the old dd formula, pvp actually got WORSE somehow, the 'new' crafter/gatherer zone is complete dogshit and so on. the new foray (occult crescent) is a complete disaster and takes the worst of bozja and eureka while improving nothing about the foray formula
>>736109512You're right lad I didn't cite my sources, I didn't write out an entire bibliography for my post.
>>736109906you could try citing one(uno) sourcesadly you won't because nobody actually knows who plays hsr other than hoyo themselves and they haven't shared that data publicly
>>736109983That always makes me laugh when the retards post that monthly gacha thread when NONE of the companies share how much any of the gacha made and it doesn’t count ps or Xbox players aswell
>>736109983You can find the source in the same place I did because I'll treat you like an adult and trust that you understand how to discover information with the tools at hand. I know you want me to treat you like a child, like a redditor and spoonfeed you, but you want the gold then you've got to dig hard. Or you know, use a search engine like everyone in the West is taught how to use the internet for the first time.
>>736108459The Japanese flat out doesn't have the skilled and talented workforce required to reduce the release windows between mainline games because modern AAA takes too fucking long to make. The reason why the Koreans and Americans started investing into AI dev tools is exactly because they can't compete with China's raw manpower otherwise. The turn based quote also applies. HSR is filling a niche practically in a vacuum as it is the only game of it's budget and scale there. It's nowhere near the majority between GI and ZZZ in Hoyoverse's revenue. It's also a fucking autobattler.And no, it's fucking physically impossible for SE to even dream about getting a slice of that market share.FFXIV Mobile is niche and won't compete with any big gacha due to demanding high time commitment as a traditional MMORPG unlike the gachaslop made to be played on the train/bus.Dissidia needs a fucking miracle to have any relevance in the current gacha market.It's also physically impossible for Yoshida to carry SE's entire deadweight and the one time they tried to have him multitask two projects it crippled FFXIV for half a decade. The best thing they can do is keep him on XIV alone. It might be a hard pill to swallow but FF is dead until some miracle gives Japan a baby boom so 30 years later their industry can actually restart.
>>736110872buddy how do you think i know there isn't any publicly-available data on hsr's player demographic? it takes a minute to look it up and find out it doesn't exist you moronstop embarrassing yourself by pretending that you have information about the demographic data of hsr that no one other than hoyo themselves have

>>736111339>The Japanese flat out doesn't have the skilled and talented workforce required to reduce the release windows between mainline games because modern AAA takes too fucking long to makeI agree it's about scope of what they want to deliver and what they can deliver.Take Exp33 as an example, even though the game is univeraslly praised, loved, and sold extremely well it's third act they admitted they cut a lot out because of time and resource constraints which is why it feels the most up in the air and rushed. However the game overrall doesn't suffer for it. They didn't scope creep the game and unfortunately that's one thing Japs are absolutely notorious for these days and they scope creep on aspects of the game that absolutely do not matter.Taking YoshiP and FF14 as an example one of the things he forced developers of the MMO to work on for Dawntrail was the graphics update, and every live letter he's examining the walls and floor going >"wow look at how that looks, isn't it impressive?" They admitted that the graphics update took a year of development time all on it's own and if you were to ask the player base what they would have preferred the graphics update or more content and a better story? 4/5 FF14 players would say the latter and yet the former was what FF14 devs were forced to focus their time and effort on. That's an example of what the developers see as important, scope creep, and being at odds with what the players see as important. They have become notorious for not understanding their own player base while forever trying to chase a player base that either doesn't exist or will never play SE games.

>>736115575That image just says don't go afk. Whoever posted that is technically right. I've gotten people banned before for much less.
>>736112538It wasn't mainly the graphics update that crippled the game, it was moving key members of the team over to XVI temporarily.
>>736112538Funny enough I would argue the graphic update was mainly for the Japanese playerbase. NA & EU mod their game regardless. I know there might be some Japanese who mod their game. Waste of time and resources.
Is Zenos back yet?
>>736117135anon...
MMOs aren't games.
>>736116546Don't say it out loud that the Japanese are still the main playerbase, it'll hurt his American main character syndrome.
>>736116546I saw hundreds of posts from Japs complaining about the graphics update because at the time they primarily played on PS4 and it began to chug their frame rate. That and the change in the look of their character they couldn't fix with mods they were super pissed.
>>736117160Death didn't stop him before, his crazy ass needs to come back and fix this damn expansion.

>>736104170If you make a good game, then people will flock to it, no matter the age. Desperately going after the generation that grew up with Fortenite/Minecraft is foolish. Cater to the 35+ audience that grew up with your games, try to attain excellency and younger generations will follow. The new Dissidia seems like such a desperate attempt.>gacha>modern slop tokyo>pvp>moba gameplayAt the same time they still think they are a luxury brand by adding the most greedy gacha system in recent memory to itThey have all the tools and all the data to see what worked and what didn't, but tit always feels like they want to reinvent themself.
>>736118596There are almost 40 years of hot FF girls and somehow it just doesn't occur to these stupid faggots to go full on waifu pandering. Not that I want more gachashit, but it's just baffling how stupid they are.
>>736118780XIV alone has some prime waifus and they never do anything with them. I guess they see pandering like that as distasteful or something..
>>736118780Reminder that XI gave you a literal harem, and allows you to summon said harem as trusts.XIV is quite lacking.
>>736118596This Dissidia game comes across as the most obvious marketing made game SE have made in recent years. Just nothing about it seems creative, but all of it is meant to hit kpi and checklists they've set their excel data sheets to. I look at it and don't feel excited, enthused and want to even try it. Even for free I feel like I'm being ripped off if I were to play it. Because I'd be used as some fucking data point in SE's algorithm for who they are trying to market their games to instead of just having a cool idea for a world, for a story, for characters and making that game.
>>736119013>I look at it and don't feel excited, enthused and want to even try it.Out of curiosity I looked up some gameplay of it:>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FyGvQljchoThis is dreadful. A mobile pvp game is just bad, because you can't get more pay to win like that. And apparently there isn't even a PvE mode, which would have made me at least mildly interested in the game. The modern aesthetics also don't do anything for me. No idea who this game is for desu, but I can't see it being any successful..
Ten whole posters keeping this thread alive all dayI'd love to see the IP count
>>736119365Only good thing to come out of it is gyaru Terra.
>>736118456The game's been bumping into the PS4's low RAM amount for quite some time, I fully expect they'll announce end of PS4 support at fanfest or live letter
>>736119391Whoever this poster is has a red face from anger and a rope around his neck
>>736115575You're objectively wrong. They're not asking you to be optimal, they're just asking you not to grief.If somebody intentionally died at the start of a raid and didn't accept raises, they'd rightfully be called a faggot griefer.
>>736118952holy shit look at those Mi'tiddies
>>736119365It's literally just FF characters in modern Tokyo. That's the setting. It's the most uninspired shit they've ever come up with.
>>736119365>No idea who this game is forYou would think it's for the massive horde of FF fangirls that are obsessed with the series and all of its spin-offs and stuff, who have severe overlap with KH fans (though the number of fujos like this have dwindled as both series have started to die). They like this kind of stuff and don't mind the modern streetwear aesthetic thing they went with. The problem being that it's a PvP game and those types of girls are anxious wrecks that can't handle competitive games. I know this because I know several of these women that were really interested in the game and started playing it but immediately dropped it because they hate PvP. I assume dorky girls in Japan are also spiritually averse to competitive games.
>>736119365A genshin style game where you can visit parts of the different FF universes practically writes its self and I am flabbergasted that they haven't made any effort into that direction. How can China shit out a genshin clone on a monthly basis but Japan struggles with this so much? >>736120327I mean, even if you are a hardcore PvP fan, the fact that you have to roll for skills kills any competetive spirit one might have. It is the most blatant pay2win game I have seen in a long time.

>>736056503Is Wuk Lamat still present? I mainly played for the story and the world. Wuk Lamat and Dawntrail story in general ruined all of that.

which rapier do you think is more appropriate for the lenna outfit?
well, since the thread appears to have died, i hope you all don't act too gay tomorrow
>>736128038You gonna cry?
>>736124407Anon it's RAM, the PS4 does not have a huge amount of game-accessible RAM. PS4 has gotten OS updates specifically for allocating more system RAM to FFXIV than it normally would for any other game, and it's still not enough
>>736128206nah. just gonna work on my glams and stuff
which vaguepost do you think is more appropriate for the thread?
>>736128457i see you waited this time, unlike last time. lol
>>736128551ok
>>736126072I prefer the right
>>736128668it feels slightly more appropriate. the amano version of lenna is usually paired with a wyvern so i thought the dreadwyrm one would look best with it. though lenna herself is usually drawn with a dagger, and in one picture, a weapon which i think is a staff but could be a swordthe other option would be to go with her in game sprite, which is just a short orange dress, blue boots and pink hair. and in opera omina, she uses a bow apparently. if i ever pick up bard again i might do that
>>736126072Right is much better, Bahamut rapier gets the Hiryu points
>>736129219but Hiryu ends up as a phoenix, which is why i entertained suzaku's rapier
>>736129274Phoenix stinky
just so you know, if you got mahjong in your weekly mogtomes that it takes about 40 minutes to complete it
>>736118780Far as XIV goes it's become dominated by pandering to women, hence why G'raha survived ShB to join, why Erenville got top billing for DT and why any conventionally attractive female character gets swiftly sidelined or killed off. Y'shtola only survives by virtue of seniority but she's still in the running for most overall neglected scion.
Did they kill off the trannies and shitola yetIf not it's dead
>>736060803Go the Picto route. Instead of Draws being buffs, let Draws be your SKILLS. Draw your deck, you get your basic Cure, Cure 2, Medica 3, Medica, short cooldowns, etc and you use them, and the more skills you've used, the faster your Re-Draw skill is, kinda like Picto paints are long casts. Keeps people from spamming 1 skill then re-drawing immediately(a la Sage's skill-modifying skill) and encourages support via using those cooldowns/shields/etc. Bam, AST solved.
>>736130821That lalafell on the right is me every time I have to look at you too. At least Coco was cute, something about your look is just...off. I can't put my finger on it.
>>736131429is it the blonde hair? i've been getting a lot more commentary from strangers in game since the change
>>736131590It's either the hair or that AND the outfit + color. There's no real contrast and the pigtails are very...you know that episode of King of the Hill where Luanne gets kidnapped by the crazy Pig Factory guy? That.
Finally got the email that my large house as well as my FC medium will be demolished April 9th. I realized that roulettes are pisseasy and fucking boring, and since I'm already SCH BiS there's nothing more to do. Can't wait to stop paying rent on my virtual home since 2019! Pic related is what I miss so fucking much, and it's never coming back,
>>736131590Kill yourself
>>736131648My house got nuked a week ago. I felt no loss. Granted, an alt I didn't want to play won it because I was stupid and bid on multiple alts, and my plans for it fell apart when Mare fell apart, but still.If 8.0 is a miracle, maybe I'll come back and try to get a new one, but the patches up til now have been shit other than the Arcadion story.
>>736131648Um yikes...it's pretty gross and uninformed to imply that healers are expected to waste GCDs on heals. We like dealing damage, damage is how we clear week 1. Capiche? Yeah, the bottom is way better and healthier for the game, its when 2 million players were concurrent, Heavensward nearly killed the game again, you're on the wrong side of history bozo.
>>736130821>>736131590may my moonie+ plap...?
>>736131646i am a proud ignorant lala!i agree that the lenna outfit's coloring doesn't mesh well with the pale skin tone. i'll probably dye it a darker shade of pink
>>736131751>other than Arcadion storyWent to shit when they decided to have an old Disney ending.
you think the game would be better if they just dropped consoles all together
>>736131838Yeah even with that outfit it's definitely the hairstyle at bare minimum, maybe the hair color too. Try something darker.>>736131846Every bit of it made sense because it is literally Wrestling. It's all made up acting bullshit. They knew behind the scenes all along, every last one of them from the announcer to the Heavyweight fighters. The only complaint I have is that Everything Burns makes no fucking sense anywhere in the game other than Rubicante, and Rubicante already has a far better song made by a true FF Fan, Hyadain.
>>736132026>It's all made up acting bullshit.The problem is that it wasn't all made up. It should have been.
>>736132026how's orange? issue i haven't done orange is while the top fits, the leggings look silly as orangealso, luanne had her hair dyed brunette in that episode iirc
>>736132091It was, though. The Light & Cruiser weight fighters didn't know because that would cause issues and potentially stop you from doing what needed to be done, read the fuckin story. The Announcer knew from day fuckin' 1. The heavyweights knew before you ever showed up.>>736132143That specific shade is fucking awful, but no, it's still the hairstyle. Change the hairstyle, make the hair a darker shade of yellow and you'll probably be fine.
>>736131987Idk about these days, but when XI was being made, they were smart to make it on console as well because console gaming in JP was WAY more popular than PC gaming. I know in more recent years PC gaming has become more popular in JP, but idk if its enough to justify ending support for consoles all together
>>736132281It's still the more popular choice in JP, unfortunately. But the sentiment that consoles in general are holding back any PC game is true.
>>736132263>It was, though.But it wasn't. Psychonekrosis was real. The president really had to die. It wasn't all a show, it was merely bait to get you to the president to kill him. If it had been all made up and the last fight was Hector then it would have been 10/10.
>>736132395The president did have to die, yes. But even in his death, he orchestrated it so his death WAS PART OF THE SHOW. He wrote his own death into the story. Just because the disease was real and his death was real didn't make it not a show for the audience. You still had rivals and matches and heels that made it a wrestling allegory, regardless of the ultimate goal. Again, this is part of the cutscenes explaining that they made it that way.
>>736132395it was keyfabe for the Alexandrian audience, which is what matters>>736132263i kinda see what you mean. right old, left new
>>736132490>Again, this is part of the cutscenes explaining that they made it that way.I don't really get why you're insisting I didn't watch the cutscenes, but blow it out your ass. Psychonekrosis was not made up. End of story. The entire thing was not fake. End of story. You are wrong and you need to accept that me not liking that it wasn't all 100% completely a show beginning to end doesn't mean I'm confused about what happened or didn't watch cutscenes. Yes, I am completely and utterly aware that the president wrote his death into the script. That does not mean it was good or satisfying.
>>736132614Yeah that does help a little bit, a more natural blonde than "someone colored my hair with a highlighter" blonde. I still think you need to ditch the braided pigtails though. Try Alma's hair.>>736132637Again, noone said it wasn't made up, it was very real. But it was worked into the story, the show, they could have taken a much more serious path to it but the entire point of the cutscenes, that you did watch but do not seem to understand, is that the President cared entirely about making it a show, not necessarily the solution but the spectacle to get there. We'll just have to agree to disagree.
>>736132782>Again, noone said it wasn't made upHere's the post I replied to. >>736132026>Every bit of it made sense because it is literally Wrestling. It's all made up acting bullshit.>they could have taken a much more serious path to it They shouldn't have. That's what I'm saying.>but the entire point of the cutscenes, that you did watch but do not seem to understandAt what point did you come under the impression that I didn't understand some aspect of the story?>is that the President cared entirely about making it a showYes I'm aware. That doesn't make the story satisfying because instead of being a fun fake wrestling storyline it was actually real the entire time. Let me repeat again because you seem to have a learning disability: I watched and fully understood every single cutscene.
>>736059485>Addition to old classesbring back nocturnal sect or i'm not resubbing, i've been unsubbed since endwalker and literally nothing else will change my mind

>>736133280amano krile coloring. the dreadwyrm rapier still works with her too which is great
>>736133532Looks more like Faux Terra (Green is always going to be her canon hair color, fuck off Amano) than Krile. Also I just realized that's basically Lyse's hair and that ruins it on top of red being the color she wore in SB too.
>>736059485I want Magic/Mystic/Rune Knight for Tank and a soft rework to WHM. Why the fuck does it still have tha trait that MIGHT give you a free cure II if you spam Cure I?
>>736133648Every class needs a rework + removal of the Class > Job system entirely so we can free up Conjurer/Gladiator/Archer/etc from the Jobs they became. But yes, WHM's change from Nature to Holy and shit like Frecure absolutely needs a rework. And Fuck Lillies with a capital F.
>>736063268Every expansion is a lala expansion, you sillyNo but for real we genuinely have enough lala worldbuilding, we have three fucking lala civilizations. Give something to the cats, people are still unaware males are rare and that Y'shtola has like 20 sisters of like, 10 different mothers.

>>736133727I do think the theme change RETROACTIVELY makes sense as it fits with The First, we've seen white Light aether at its peak can do, so WHM kinda HAS to look like that (If anything BLM should use way more void shit)
Rival wings is fucking ass and whoever thought it was a good idea to give it the Frontlines role actions needs to get raped to death by a pack of apes
>>736133850Storywise, maybe. But FF-wise, BLM has always been the multi-element casting identity. Meanwhile, WHM was never "nature" based, it was always holy because it harmed undead and they never had shit like Stone, that's Geomancy. And that's why Geomancer as a job can't happen without a rework.>>736133943>pvping in a pve erp game
>>736133982ERP is a form of PvP
>>736133982Now that you mention it it would be funny if they made Conjurer another split role with you being able to choose Geomancer or somethin akin as your DPS (Keeps the nature theme)
>>736134050
>>736134050It's more of a coop gamemode Or well, at least I see it like that, what's the point if you don't make the other one cum?
>>736133615tried a new palette, based on >>736058503
>>736106996Actually both games have 0 players
>>736134247
>>736134065What FFXIV needs to do is steal from SWTOR instead. At a certain point, a Sith Warrior becomes either a Marauder (DPS focus) or a Juggernaut (Tank). Not just Specs that change your build (e.g; Boomkin in WoW is still a Druid and still has Bear form/healing spells) but your class identity as a whole.Conjurer could turn into either a Summoner (DPS) or Geomancer (Healer) - SMN because Conjuring is basically a synonym for Summoning.Arcanist would be the lead-in for Mystic Knight (tank or dps) or Astrologian (Healer)Thaumaturge never existed before FFXIV, so fuck it. Make Red Mage the "base" job and give it the option to become Black or White mage to specialize in a type of magic, or a third option to become a Red Wizard.Shit like that.
>>736062017Blizz makes most of its money from the troons who buy everything in the store.

KWAB just stop playing>Playerbase drops to 350k playersDo you really think YoshiP and Mr.Ozma are anywhere near coming around the fact that trying to funnel casuals into raiding has completely failed and is downright killing their game? everyone who is still playing is telling them to double down so no things will not improve.
>>736133982sorry buddy you wanted to do something other than jerk off in limsa with the xisters all day? chang wings and his buddies who do nothing but play rival wings 16 hours a day on JP are here with their fuck-off meta comp that can do 60000 kazillion damage in 1 server tick after they stack 40 AoE damage ups on your whole team
>>736134575>>736134569You dont understand.There's a whole fucking "scene" full of people who "collect" everything blizzard sells in their games.I know one gay british guy who buys every cosmetic item in wow and doesn't even play it.He also buys everything in overwatch and gets hyped by those lame fucking looking skin commercials. And ofc he doesn't play overwatch either.
>>736134481That's too much work anon, two more jobs every expansion that function like all other jobs with a 60s 800 potency button and a 120s 1k potency button.
>>736134804People do that with FF, too. The reason the FF MTG set was their best selling of all time is because of FF fans who don't even play card games and just want to collect the rare holofoil 800USD JP printing of Yshtola and Emet
>>736134851I'm aware, sadly. The game needs not just an ARR-tier meteor but a "nuke it and restart from the ground up" reset that will never, ever come.
>>736134746You don't understand anon. If they add high ilvl gear to side content I can more easily gear up my alt jobs I mean casuals will do it more.
>>736134746While I agree with you, what kind of stuff could they add? Crafting/Gathering is genuinely boring, housing decorating is niche and this game doesn't have the bones to add interesting exploration in maps, BLM is niche as well due to being unusable in real gameplay and mostly bein for "pokedex completition" fellas.I'd say PVP but what we have is already a mess of asking players to SUDDENLY learn another set of actions that only exists in PVP
>8.0 >jobs are basically final>from then on we get alt jobs that are basically different flavors of x job that play slightly differentyou rike???
>>736134937>meanwhile, chads chose this
>>736134937Its fucking bizarre. They also keep buying star citizen ships and talking about how epic the next one is going to be.I dont understand what drives these people to act that way
>>736135052picto plays differently than the other casters. viper is just the cooler reaper
>>736135016With the way content is structured there is no way for them to improve on the formula, as long as Ultimates are still a thing and Savage/Extremes are still the meat of their expansions they are doomed.
>>736134746>added an entire new minigame/content for crafter/gatherers in Cosmic Exploration>Occult Crescent gave a large number of bosses to play through and things to grind for despite the failure of forked tower>The expansion is adding an easy mode>Glam restrictions were removed for fashionista/social players>Seasonal events have started having minigames attached to them>New Deep Dungeon>New Variant Dungeon has something between normal and Criterion for playersThere were definitely a few flops, but what players are you talking about that they aren't trying in some way to cater to?
>>736135668they were all flops is the problem, not just "a few"
>>736135735So what do you want then? What group are you a part of?
>>736135096That's entirely reaper's fault. It was always boring as fuck. All the other melee I think would be fine with a few relatively minor adjustments in 8.0, but rpr really needs a full rework.
>>736135668>The expansion is adding an easy mode?
>>736135668>Cosmic ExplorationLiterally just Leves in space. You can't dress it up any nicer than that.Plus, Crafting as a whole has gotten less interesting every time it gets touched. At least Quality used to matter but now it doesn't even apply or matter to certain parts that it used to.>Occult CrescentGeneric forest area with shit gameplay, "run to encounter, wait, kill it, run to next encounter asap", and Forked Tower. At least Bozja made it more interesting and a little varied beyond the encounters.>Glam RestrictionsRemoved because Dawntrail made popularity go in the shitter, "break in case of emergency" just like FF7 theme for 8.0 will be>New Deep DungeonSame as the old deep dungeons, played at launch then niche content impossible to find a group for without spending hours forming one>Variant DungeonAs a whole are shit since they were added, just "run this place a few times for slight variations(hence the name) and the bosses are hp sandbags if you're solo
>>736136151They said that the Occult Crescent expansion is going to have its version of forked tower in two forms, one for more casual players and one tuned for the higher end.
>>736131838>>736132143>>736132614>>736132991>>736133532>>736134247>>736134968
>>736136267What content would you like to see then?
>>736135668>instead of creating a zone where both crafters/gatherers and combat jobs can coexist and even help eachother (you know this is a MMO) they seperate crafters/gatherers to a dead instance where they must do monotonous work everyday for weeks to get good rewards>Occult Crescent was a complete bust punishing playing with a single group and making party hopping optimal and required to do forked tower>seasonal events/deep dungeons/variant dungeons being singleplayer focused contentgreat MMO there buddy
>>736136267>impossible to find a group for Because you're supposed to do it solo retard.
>>736136323You missed some, the thread parasocial loves /v/
>>736136361>You're supposed to do Deep Dungeons soloCome on man, I know you're baiting, but at least try not being fucking stupid
>>736136361>MMO>Supposed to do content Solono wonder the game is dying, Beastmaster is going to be solo too it seems, lol.
>>736134247>>736134968Looks good, Dreadwyrm was the right weapon choiceShame about the boots, but I'm sure you're somewhat limitedDid you try Setzer boots from the Gold Saucer?
>>736136493the boots krile are wearing >>736058503 here are pink in the front and blue in the backhad to improvise as i'm fairly certain no shoe item in the game dyes like that
>>736136323
>>736136347>They're only catering to hardcore raid faggots, and they're going to keep doing that in 8.0>Actually, this expansion they've done a lot in trying to add new content for non-raiders, regardless of quality>SHIT MMOI'm not saying it's perfect or there isn't room for improvement, I'm saying that saying they're only focused on raid faggots is just wrong. The design of the content is a different issue.
>>736136696"i love replying to lalafells" shirt instead
>>736136706you're missing the forest for the trees, the content schedule/structure post msq is set in stone to revolve around getting raiders both softcore/hardcore to get into the big two Ultimates they release every expansion, everything else is just breadcrumbs and afterthoughts, until that changes people will still complain about the lack of good rewards and the lack of things to do.
>>736136706The problem is they keep attaching raid shit to what should be for non-raiders
>>736136683Critical hit B1 or 2 from PVP are as close as you are going to get but Idk how well they'll mesh
>>736136870That's just materia, right? Makes it the opposite, funneling raiders into other aspects of the game.>>736136861One ultimate, but are you talking about the updates always featuring raids first/second week? Is that actually something people care about?
>>736137221>OC, casual fate train tier content has a hardcore raid at the end that you can't even get into without sucking some discord tranny's cock>PT, a casual leveling/solo deep dungeon has a hardcore fight at the end that you can't even attempt solo despite that being the entire premise of deep dungeons to begin with
Thank you Jamjam for this Venat.
>>736137401>Forked tower fuck up, something they acknowledged and are fixing for the new one, still have to do casual content to get to it though>A boss at the end of a deep dungeon with variable difficulty meant to act as an inbetween for players who've been asking for inbetween content for years, still required to do the casual content to get to it
>>736083620i've only met like 3 black dudes who play this game
>>736136943i see. thank you for the research. though i'm leaning against it as there's no clear divide between the two colors. krile's boots in that picture are blue boots with a pink shinguard on themalso, this is the most unintentionally slutty outfit i've ever made
>>736137929>unintentionallyI'd plap you
>>736137672>No those don't count anyone complaining about raidtranny pandering only means that materia is a generic reward for everything.
>>736104170i feel like one of the reason younger people aren't getting into final fantasy is because the quality of the games has dropped hard since 13 came out if you came up and asked someone these days where to start with final fantasy theres a high chance someone will say 10 and the games before it
>>736138154That and Squeenix has been on record saying "Modern players don't want turn based anymore, they want action combat" - Meanwhile, FF7 Rebirth & 16 both undersold, while Baldur's Gate 3, turn-based as fuck, wins GOTY
>>736138234i dont really even think the games being turn based is an issue it's just that the games are kind of mid and i think 7 remake is a special case because if you never played 7 before and started with remake you have to put up with a bunch of different shit that didn't happen in the original so only people who played the original would get the most out of it,not to mention the entire game of remake takes place during a segment that would take you like 4 hours to get through at most in the original
