Final Fantasy XIV's Fanfest event is imminent. Will he be able to convince us that the game is going to continue to improve?
>>736258431>Don't do Extremes>Wait a few years>Get the mountsIt's that easy.
>>736259197been a bit under 5 years
>>736258431>10:00 Pacific Timewtf, I know its in America but for Japan that's 2:00 AM
>>736259498slop shit game with no rpg elements devs should probably an hero lol
>>736258431NA Fanfest is always a big nothingburger
>>736258431I thought he wasn't even going to be there because he was afraid of ICE. That's what the crybaby retards here said.
>>736260003Wow. Haven't seen a tramp stamp in forever.
>>736258431Is the tranny still the focus?
hows this game im a osrs player
>>736260717Terrible if you've ever played any tab target MMO before. The combat isn't enjoyable and the devs know it, so they have nothing to grind and no repeatable content that's enjoyable, so it's just raid trannies left and people who quit after playing through the expansion MSQ. But then they turned the MSQ into disneyslop trash, so now people won't even want to come back for the next one. Try the free trial and see if you like the MSQ. If you do, play the game/MSQ up until dawntrail then quit forever. There, I've saved you years of time wasted.
>>736260717Imagine any RPG. Now remove any RPG mechanics such as class building or equipment or skill selection or party synergy. Now remove any kind of dungeon crawling or exploration and replace it with hallways. Okay now put 20 hours of clicking dialogue boxes between each hallway.
>>736260717fun if you like visual novelspersonally i like the trials and raids but anons won't be, since they're anons
>>736259694The problem is the amount of time they dedicate to things you already know, I don't need 30 minutes about "yeah we are having MSQ, dungeons, Trials, here is a concept art of the first one btw, raids, alliance raids, duty support,etc"last one they dedicated a ton of time to the graphics update, I guess in this they are gonna talk about gameplay changes at least.
What did they do to golden saucer it is just airforce 24/7 now and no jumping
>>736261327>I guess in this they are gonna talk about gameplay changes>gameplay changes>without changing the underlying engineAh yes, gameplay changes, where your 90 APM rotation changes slightly to a different sequence, sounds riveting.
>>736258431>continue to improveThe game has been going downhill tho? unless YoshiP says they're done making Ultimates and heavily scaling back the raid content there is no reason to believe the next expansion will be better than DT
>>736261603>YoshiP says they're done making Ultimates and heavily scaling back the raid content there is no reason to believe the next expansion will be better than DTIf those things are true then there's every reason to believe it will be the best expansion yet. Kill parsetrannies and make the game FUN.

>>736262356Thanks! And you'll never be a woman.
>>736262130all of themat the same time
>>736258431I doubt it. But at this point I've been so spoiled by free games that FFXIV would need to promise me free blowjobs every time I log in to make it worth the subscription, especially with them constantly shilling their cash shop on top of that
>>736262130god sadu is so cutebehead everyone calling her gay or tranny
>>736262807this but specifically from sphene or ryne or halmarut
>>736262718No I won't. But you'll be.Bend over.

>>736264071Thanks! I'll let you know when I show up.
>>736262916Very surprised one of the few good (if not the only good) XIV doujin features her.
>>736264297
>>736264297The only good one is Yda fucking the fat moogle.
>>736264071Apparently I don't lurk enough, but I lurked enough for that nice butt shot. I HAVE seen you in Solution 9 on Balmung before, but it's been awhile.
>>736264297>>736264354salsa?>>736264359also salsa?
>>736264495Yeah, you're his biggest fan.
>>736264597For Sadu, it's B.B.GEEK.Can't speak for the Yda one.
>>736264850The only thing more pathetic than a simp who shitposts for fun is a faggot that sits in those same threads every single day just to counter-shit.
>>736264850that dude may have a thing for my lala, but you are actually in love with me. lol
>>736265137I ain't gonna deny it. You're posting for us and I wanna see cute lalas and lala butts, everyone wins. At least we're on topic.If you really want to add discussion to it, fuck Dawntrail and fuck Limited Classes. Waste of dev time, give Dawntrail the ARR treatment or it's a permanent stain that will hurt the game long term.
>>736265353>limited classesi get why blue mage is a limited class. its less work and it has niches that are actually useful. people complain about no rpg mechanics but skip over the only fully customizable class because it doesn't do roulettes. when they say they want a 'Real BLU' what they're asking for is black mage with enemy skill paintBST is the one i don't get. so far it looks like its literally just chocobo companion x 3 you can take into instances. i'm open to being wrong but i feel it is a victim of overhype, like island sanctuary and codcar. the new game mode for BST might be interesting if Ozma actually did put his back into it like he claimed, but I know it must have pained him to not have a 16 man body check in a solo instance
>>736265554Pretty much right on all counts. People wanted FFXI Blu, aka, non-traditional blue mage that empowered their base class. True Blue Mage is basically what we got, using Monster powers. Squeenix HAD the chance to make the first truly Tri-Role class and learn to expand the system to offer multiple role options within jobs as a framework...but nah. No time spent balancing skills so they'd be usable in traditional content so basically just jammed into a corner and left to fall behind and rot.Overhype is right. Blue Mage at least made sense with the WAY they implemented it being so shit that it can't join normal content due to Class Identity, but BST is just...Diablo 2 Necro? Old Summoner? Earlier-Expansion Warcraft Warlocks? Just a shitty pet class in a game that doesn't do Pet controls very well at all. What, exactly, prevented it from being a Real job?
>>736265775its probably horribly over or underpowered, or maybe they don't have time to make sure pet AI doesn't fuck with modern raid encounters. Lily and Carbuncle haven't been targetable since shadowbringersalso, it still irks me BLU doesn't have a limit break
>>736265930Really? Not even the basic Spellcaster one or even the shitty Squad one? I stopped at 48 on mine years ago because it was such a boring grind, that's just retarded.
>>736260574notice how brainbroken you are? your first thought is about a trans person. sissy
>>736264297Pavlov was such a real one a shame his current manga is kinda SNCA as the kids would put it
>>736265998nope. which sucks because there's lots of good choices for a blue mage limit break. Lv.? Flare and ???? come to mind
I get the biggest hardon seeing npcs get blown off the reddit pile in the typhon gate
>>736267579the stack was the best place to stand. typhon's patterns changed sometime during stormblood though
There is no "reddit" pile it is just the simplest spot to stack on.
>>736258431FFXIV, like WoW but to a smaller degree, has enough retarded fans that will still play the game and pay for a subscription even if the improvements are negligible.Changes are they won't try very hard
>>736265554>people complain about no rpg mechanics but skip over the only fully customizable class because it doesn't do roulettes.It doesn't do anything but five year old raidslop.
>>736259659How did they make the thighs look so meaty? Doesn't look modded
>>736263449>>736264071>>736264495Kill yourselves you fucking niggers, straight up /vg/ style posting
vagueman saucerposting now
>>736268095can't wait for hades ultimate (forma de la body check), which is 7 years old at this point
>>736268095Not really addressing the point
>>736268197Yes I am. People "skip over" it because it can't do anything. There's nothing to do with it.
>BLU had a niche in that it could do moogle tomes efficiently>SE kills that so now BLU has nothing but moldy raidslop to doI bet they'll finally kill them being able to do Yokai Watch next time they run it
>>736268404and what exactly is stopping you from doing 4 man dungeons? haukke hard has 2 gigapulls vulnerable to ultravibration
Yoshida blood bastard bitch, Blue Mage belong in roulettes making unlimited
The nation of garlemald is a congregation of simpletons.
>>736258431I was thinking about this while driving, can someone help me fill in examples of trend chasing they keep doing?I'll try listing some I remember>thinking he could broadcast 14 PVP like esports events>Viper being molded into a mimicry of Kirito from Sword Art Online>the modern outfits and recent cash shop releases being the stuff modders did and still do>that made up story at the peak of DEI where yoshi talked about seeing a tranny on the street and that's why men need to be able to run around in bunny suits in game>Island Sanctuary because of Animal Crossing>16 being an action game(the game as a whole really)>>736260003Love from Kazakhstan
>>736268806island sanctuary was never supposed to be animal crossing. that was the community.the other trend he chased was ARR 2.5 being right out of GoT
>>736260003That bitch is not a Legacy player. Stolen valor.
>>736260003>dog pawhaunting.
>>736260003my dragoon wife
>>736268806>>7362688651 minute apart
>>736265554I have a feeling that it won’t be able to be done with other people. The monsters will be like trusts, fulfilling specific roles. Maybe youll do 2 people max in a dungeon with one monster each. Idk seems counterintuitive to sequester people in a bunch of instances by themselves. Especially if overworld mobs get cleared and you can’t get your bestiary done bc you everything is dead. It actually might be really frustrating to complete initially
>>736269470it depends how capturing a monster works. do you apply a debuff and then kill it, do you need to use an item on it like leves. can it be captured by multiple people or only one at a timebut i do agree that dev time shouldn't be spent on instanced content if possible. though i'm not going to knock the beastmaster content thingy till i've actually tried it
>>736260003This is 100% someone who started XIV after covid which makes the legacy tattoo quite hilarious
>>736269553Alisaie owes me no fewer than four children
>>736269548>though i'm not going to knock the beastmaster content thingy till i've actually tried itI'm sure it will at least be okay if not good. But that's a problem too. If you enjoy it you'll also know it's doomed content that will get updated maybe every 4 years and will last for a week or two until you're back to waiting. You should honestly hope that it's shit just so you're not staring at it in your job list praying for an update to come like some of us already do with BLU.
>>736269635i'd rather miss the good times than never have had them
>>736269635How hideously pessimistic to hope you don't like something so you never have to anticipate updates
>>736270171Why would I want to like it when I know it's never getting updated again?
>>736270226we had two whole expansions about this shit anon. there's even a fucking song
>>736270306Barney the Dinosaur sings lots of songs too.
>>736262002What's the alternative? Releasing infinite easy content that is boring in one go? Minigame bloat?
>>736270397raiding is a minigame
>>736270479No, it's basegame combat content. It's the core. The reason raidfags get things is because they are attached to what the game part of the game is. You can just play the easy version of their content over and over I guess?
>>736270335Barney the Dinosaur never sang a song about hoping he doesn't like something to not bear the crushing weight of liking something
>>736270590Raiding is a minigame that the rest of the game has to be castrated for because otherwise balancetrannies will scream and wail.
Solution 9 should have been kino for me as I love that aesthetic but they made it very gay especially the modernslop that looked awful. Should've been more Bladerunner and less... whatever the fuck bubbly shit it actually was.
>>736270590raiding is a minigame>done by a small percentage of the playerbase>contained in its own instances>progression in raids is only useful in raids>has mounts, orchestrion rolls and other vanity items that are the real goal
>>736270667What rest of the game? PvP? Are you angry that world bosses fell out of favor? Genuinely WHAT content are they neglecting for raidfags? Do you just want another dungeon every expansion to double pull through?>>736270702It's side content, not a minigame. It's still the core gameplay and optimized for what the game is.
>>736270815too small a population does it
>>736270874Okay, then don't do it. Do the easy version of it, play dungeons, do whatever the new tower of the dead is. What do YOU believe you are missing out on?
>>736270815I want more varied dungeons that don't have to be hallways on a strict 20 minute timer because balancetrannies will shriek if they get put into a more confusing instance.I want more varied jobs that can do unique things that aren't just "do damage" or "prevent damage", which I can't have because balancetrannies will howl and shit themselves over any kind of variance or specialization.I want systems and content types that feed into each other instead of everything being completely isolated to stop balancetrannies from shitting blood from their neovaginas and mailing it to the SE office because of the expectation of engaging with the game outside of raidlogging.
>>736264297Browncat OC has a few decent ones railing Y'shtola
>the one lone XIV raidtranny on /v/ finds the XIV thread and comes to defend itlmao, for what purpose? XI is soulful and beloved two decade later because the "difficulty" of its content was organization (like classic WoW) which almost never excluded anyone. Stay at home cat mom's could perform their role in 2005 XI/WoW and that's why playing them was fun.
>>736270942nothing. i play what i want and don't demand the game change for me. moreover, it doesn't bother me if someone gets something i already have.also, wuk lamat sighted
>>736271030Why isn't the crack in the ocean visible from space?
>>736270943Balancetrannies are already blasting through dungeons on records. No dungeon will ever be designed in an actual confusing manner, because if you are confusing the people that can play the game, you'll confuse the casuals.Job homogenization is for the ease of the devs, not the playerbase. Every player I interacted with bemoaned the changes from Stormblood to Shadowbringers, and the further track of homogenization. That doesn't assist your standard raider, it's pure dev ease.You have crafting and gathering, and every raid group already has their crafters and gatherers. Everyone you hate is literally getting the most out of the game as it is and the entire system is built around them. What additional content do you think they should require for raids? Fucking casino minigames? Platforming challenges? Hunter logs?
