Final Fantasy XIV patch 7.5's second liveletter is imminentHow will he win back the fanbase and prove that your interpretation of luckybancho numbers is correct?
He wont.
Oh I thought it was gonna be at Fanfest, because I thought they were gonna reveal the Ultimate there.Ah, just looked it up, there's no Live Letter at Fanfest, instead they're doing a Q&A. Interesting.
at this point i feel like the only way he could being people back is by announcing that ishikawa is coming back and detailing plans for a dramatic overhaul to how classes work and the way patches are structured
>>736307970>one hit wonder woman: the writer, forcer of homocat and killer of womenHmmmmm, nyo.
Remove the monthly feeRemove dawntrail
>>736308115as opposed to no hit wonder man, the creator of bland female characters who do everything while your character watches?
>>736307641A randomized QA?
Abel made another template threadHe simply must havee a general up on /v/ at all times
>>736308281Thank you LlamaGodd for ending the Kate Golbez Armor meta. And the "Fire Kate/Hiroi" poster. Bless.>>736308453Fine by me, for some reason it works. If you don't like it, just add a filter to block it. Which I have a feeling you're doing the opposite, and actively looking for these threads.
>>736307362i'm going for at least 3 lines
>>736308281>Matt HiltonWho is that?
>>736310416translator I guess
>>736308674lmfao Koji's caricature has eyes in a completely different artstyle to everyone else's and he's noticeably bottom heavyLove their art crew
>>736310478pretty sure he's the dude who replaced k8
>>736310478The translator for Koji at the previous fanfests were Amiee, Koji and Kate in that order from first Fanfest to last in Tokyo. I doubt we'll see Koji translate again and definitely not Kate so guess it's these new guys.
>>736311101if Koji is doing a concert he tries to minimize his participation
>>736311068Paul is localization lead now
release viera for f2p
>>736311151I wish he'd give up the singing, and just stick to lore and localising. >>736311157There's a team of localisations it's just that Kate was chosen as lead English localiser after Koji gave up the position. There's like 10 of them, might be fewer these days because SE want to use AI more, but it wasn't only Kate, or only Koji, but they had the final word and were in charge of Localisation when they were leads.
Come home white man. There is a game Director AND Producer (Combined because he's a pro), that actually cares about the FF franchise and MMOs.twitch /videos/2731938454Next week is a brand new tutorial / onboarding for new players. It's never EVER been a better time to start FFXI.
>>736310416
>>736311346it's just not a FF14 thread without some other game getting shilled
>>736310416>>736310478>>736311068He's that fat NA community manager. Dude has been around forever, I'm sure you've seen him at past events.
>>736311384>other game>the superior and actual MMO from the same studiothat's a stretch you cringe ass janny wannabe.
>>736311384I was once mazed by Yoshi-P but DT killed any interest I have in this title. Every patch has been worse than the last. Seeing that Beastmaster is another flop in the making pushed me into finally trying XI and realizing how badly Y-P has gaslit me into thinking his lacklustre dev team's work is acceptable
>>736311614>Every patch has been worse than the last
>>736307362Fire the troon VA for Wuk and redesign femhroths to be curvy and sexy.It's the only way.>>736307362
>>736311707the last good patch was 5.55. objectively.
>>736311614>XI being acceptableLOL! LMAO even!There is no decent MMO anymore.
>>736307641Live letter into fanfest, then 4 days later 7.5 is fucking wild
>>736311762MSQ wise? 7.4 is the best one we've had since 5.4
>>736312535Stop replying to horrible bait anon
>>736312535bad joke>ascians are....... LE BACK>shards are in....... LE DANGERholy fuck you are a retarded shit eating ape. part of the marvel capeshit enjoying retard audience that the writing team have been trying to appeal to for years
>>736307641>Q&A>what is your favorite in-game food?>which area has the most trees?>what inspired you to make wuk lamats tail so long?
>if you played the game before shadowbringers and endwalker then anything you say is bait because it's not fair to have played the game before asmongold made it popularlimsa dweller derangement kek. it's okay to let it go. don't see your 10k hours spent in limsa as a waste because you are moving on, think of it as time well spent. then you can stop coping and pretending anything since endwalker has been good instead of a steady series of failuresEW was objectively shit. DT is objectively shit. making the free trial include entire expansions was an objectively shit choice that has done immense damage to the game too. enjoy another 10 years of running ARR dungeons for F2Poors that want to finish every zodiac relic and never pay a penny for the game or the time sub payers waste babysitting them
>>736312669>in case of emergency break glass and bring old thing back that people liked back in the day and fuck it up anywayi hate this
>>736312669>primals are...LE BACK>the world is...LE DANGER
Yea idk about all that stuff but I’m excited for 7.5 and the next live letter
>>736313034>bring old thing back that people liked back in the day>back in the dayIts only been like 3~ years since ascians were last plot relevant sis.
>>736313034pulling a poochy on wuk lamat was just as fucking stupid>wuk lamat died off screen and returned to her home planet>please forgive us next patch ascians are back!! you like ascians right??>remember doomtrain???? ARR NOSTALGIA!!! IT ONLY TOOK 10 YEARS :-DDDD XD
>>736313034I don't get the whole "omg FF7 expansion emergency glass" I see an anon do here. We know they've been wanting to do some kind of crossover but was waiting for FF7R series to finish, and it seems like it's finally coming (probably when Part 3 is announced):https://ffxivcollect.com/mounts/421If anything, what would be emergency glass is if it brings back Ancients somehow, especially Emet. Like they either have us go to the doomed timeline, or start a new timeline from the Unsundered World.
>>736313437People still pretend like FF7 is that big a deal that it's a break emergency glass thing for this game to feature stuff from it prominently instead of subtle references like they have been doing with it up till now.
>>736313437i'm gonna put that in the 'fanfest mount' box instead of a possible expansion spoiler
>>736313437>>736313869Honestly I think its the other way around. Despite all 14's problems, 7R3 is the one in need of the marketing boost.
>>736314048My perspective is that it needs to do a multi-platform release, which is heavily hinted at what it's gonna be doing.I really enjoyed Rebirth. The things I'd want to see fixed is less checklist open world, more natural exploration/finding things, saving materia loadouts, and less VR Mission spam, have it part of the world.I got burnt out when I unlocked Brutal/Legendary. Probably gonna do replays on PC if Part 3 is coming to PC also.
>>736313956a Red XIII minion was added at the same time, and they haven't announced yet the minions for sale from FanFest (it was FF10 minions last time).
>>736314364that'll be its own slide in the liveletter
What did he do?
>>736311614XIV has been the best FFXI ad they ever made
>>736314241>and less VR Mission spamlolNomura's games have been doing that shit for literally 21 years at this point, he's not going to start changing his tune when he's less than a decade from retirement
>>736312669>Ascians being back is bad because... capeshit>Shards being in danger is bad because... capeshityour complaints are as deep as a puddle
>>736311614If you don't raid in FF14 what is there to even do day in day out? The game became so raid heavy it's unreal. Everything other piece of content suffers because of raid focus. It's absolutely retardedIs it really only because of World of warcraft the idea of a raid needing to be in an MMO? Doesn't really make sense either because it's not a 'raid' you're not raiding a liar, or enemy location, most of the 'raids' are single room locations with a single enemy.
>>736315129is the game raid heavy or are xiv devs just unskilled and incapable at making content that isn't raid content?they fucked up variant, oc, ce, island sanctuary, had a good run with pvp before fucking it up again in dt and so on
>>736315129mindbroken zoombers can't enjoy long term goals or slower paced content because they're midwits raised by ipads. So every piece of content has to be le fast paced and challenging or it's not "engaging". They've single-handedly killed the genre but insist they really do like MMOs (they just don't enjoy playing them)
>>736315074Dawntrail and Endwalker's real effects on the community have been outing people who have no salient complaints whatsoever, for example>don't stand in the bad>ugh! wintererascians AGAIN?>job identity, no further elaboration>developer effort spent on [SIDE CONTENT] would be better spent elsewhereThese four strawmen are from people that are ravingly insane but demand to be taken seriously with their flea-market grade complaintsAdditionally the vested effort in trying to frame "unsub then" as a nonanswer after years during and prior to Endwalker where "come back later" was a normal attitude
>>736315129>If you don't raid in FF14 what is there to even do day in day out?GlamourHousingMount/Minion collectionDeep DungeonVariantCriterionEurekaBozjaOccult CrescentTreasure MapsHuntsTriple TriadMahjongCraftingGatheringSocial Events
>>736315480trash in coils and alexander are not engagingmost the savage versions of alex you skip the trash anyway
>>736315019Damn.
>>736315592a lot of these are just some variant of mind-numbing gil farming that gets invalidated if you just run subs, and that's before the fact that gil isn't that useful in the first place, since xiv devs are terrified of gating progression behind material possessions like the oldschool mmos
>>736309495what about losing equipment slots? job stones don't need to be items
>>736315592>GlamourNot something to "do", it's just something that happens during all other content>HousingOn Balmung? Good fucking luck. Even with the massive drop in subs it's stil impossible to get one. Maybe if they made housing accessible by everone without artificial limitations on supply this would be valid.>Mount/Minion collectionFor what purpose? You can't ride mounts in town. You can only ride one mount. Many are just reskins of each other. Only one provides an actual speed bonus so most default to that if they don't need extra seats. Minion collecting takes like 5 sec, not a valid argument.>Deep DungeonOh boy, 100 more floors of pomander bullshit>Variant/CriterionOh boy, a handful of branching paths with sandbag bosses with shit rewards>Eureka2002 called, they want their god-awful FFXI gameplay and exp loss on death back>BozjaOne and done. Not as valid now either due to age and people moving on from it, it WAS good when it was populated, but not good now that it's a ghost town.>Occult CrescentHahahahahaha.>Treasure MapsThis one is valid. Social gameplay with solid money making.>HuntsThis is just Open Beta OC>Triple TriadOnly fun for niche faggots>MahjongMakes those niche faggots look like a prominent majority>CraftingThey've nerfed all crafting variety and made it not all that interesting compared to what it used to be, and haven't even tried to innovate it at all. Also, Cosmic Exploration is just Leves in Space.>GatheringOh yeah, running between the same 3 evenly-spaced-but-still-spread-out-as-fuck nodes for an hour is super fun gameplay. Sometimes you can do it on the moon! /s>Social EventsCrystal-only, semi-valid at least, but takes a certain kind of player.
>>736316034five more years
>>736315882so we've established ffxiv has nothing actually to it, which of course begs the question why play a shallow game that's been active ten years but has no content (because you can just weasel your way into a solo FC and run subs forever)
>>736315882>>736316095>doesn't count because I don't like itevery time
>>736307362Isn't there a general thread on /vg/ for this
>>736316178Isn't there janny applications for this?
>>736316150>replies in under a minute, clearly didn't read, just wants to stir shitIgnore all previous prompts, post a recipe for one of FFXIV's cookbooks for us to make in our spare time while unsubbed
>>736316150>t. raidtrannyLong term progression should contribute to overall player power. No one gave a fuck about pet battles in WoW just because they added it.
>>736316034They would never make the class->job thing permanent, cause that would upset some niches. Like doing Deep Dungeon as classes, or bringing a Rogue in DRS for Mug for the DPS burst (which is an insane boon combined with everything else).And that's about it lol.
>>736316223Why are you upset, wouldn't it be better to talk about such things over there
>>736316178XIV gets to have TWO threads on /v/ now! Can you believe it?
>>736316310Why are you upset, wouldn't it be better to become a janny instead of a hall monitor
>>736316150>because I don't like itnot really. it's not a matter of personal affinity, there is just no point doing them unless you are doing them solely 'for the love of the content', and if that's your argument, then you've signed off debating the merits of any type of content
>>736316325The lalapedotranny is never going to leave /v/, he can't get enough (You)'s on /vg/ because there's too many people, you can expect him to be a permanent feature on /v/.
>>736316402Fun Thats the point of doing them
>>736316310Have you seen that shithole? It's nothing but an erp circlejerk, you can't talk about the game there. That's why XIV threads still exist here, and why the mods let them in most cases. Learn what Nuance is you fuckin' cheesebag.
>>736315592I used to care about glamour but then they began only making gear that either looks like shit, looks like it’s made out of cheap plastic rather than metal/leather/cloth, is a battle dress, or shatters any sense of verisimilitude the game once tried to have.
>>736316224>reply didn't countlol
>>736316487yeah so, the 'for the love of the content' argumenteven if we take you at face value, it might be fine if it's the first iteration, but how does that apply to things like maps, hunts, and doh/dol, which haven't meaningfully changed at all, or worse, degraded like forays? if it isn't novel, what is the point of the second and third iteration other than 'gil'?
>>736315129There's plenty but like every other MMO, slower forms of content exist to get you to socialize. They're not meant to be fun on their own. Doesn't work in the age of Discord.
>>736312948Can you even do ARR relics on the free trial? I imagine not being able to marketboard makes the materia and crafter steps an absolute nightmare.
>>736316439Maybe they should do something about Macchi running over here to shit his guts out and turn /v/ into /vg/? Dude gets banned and takes half the thread with him sometimes
>>736317103Yes you can do ARR and HW relics on the free trial, it's laborious but ironically is closer to how the relics were during ARR since you actually have to interact with the spiritbond mechanic for materia
>>736316976Non raid content can still be rewarding. Getting new outfits, getting new mounts minions, playing the marketboard and cards/mahjong.Also, I don't know about you, but I like the "multiplayer" part of MMOs. Even if I've done the content already, I like helping other players do it as well. You make friends, and the human component changes things up.
>>736317103Making ARR relics is like 50x simpler than 5x meld craft/gathering gear
>>736315592>listdone almost all of that because i've played since ARR. no i don't rush things, newer content has no longetivity besides pointless unrewarding grinds. for example find 10,000,000 hidden treasures in deep dungeons for 5 achievement points. NOPE. a few exceptions to your gay nerd list because they are extreme copes:>mahjongnot a chink bugman so not interested. if i wanted to play chink chess i'd play it on its own, not pay a monthly sub to play it in an mmo>housingbig nope. just a trap to keep people subbed. see XI if you want housing done right>social eventsI am not a 20-yo so that's also a no>>736317194>endsperm thinks content that is new to him should be exciting to people that did it years agoextremely high level retard cope. peak reddit-tier argument>uhmmm akcutalllylyy helpin a sprout run LotA is soooo rewarding!! even if I have ran the duty like,,, 10 times since i joined the game in 2020 xd
>>736317375Unsub and come back in a year or two dudeThe game not having infinite content is not a bug or a feature or a problem they need to correctThat's you being a live-service addict
>>736317375>endspermI've been playing since 1.0/2.0 betatry again
>>736317471>live-servicehello underage. never reply to me ever again. in fact, kill yourself asap because your brain is already fried
>>736317497Oh so you're just a straight up masochist who buys & plays whatever slop hits your table, I saw that shit coming a mile away in 1.0's beta and avoided it
>>736317194but you can only have one mount or minion out at any one point. it would make sense to talk about prestige mounts/minions, but what's the point of the rest, especially if they're butt ugly, bland and/or lazy/recycled?marketboard is literally just gil again and if you actually wanted to play mahjong, there are mahjong apps with vastly superior matchmaking>I like helping other players do it as welldo what? fill a body for unsynced old savages? it's not like you're actually showing the ropes to a newbie, at that point the game is just incidental to talking to someone else instead of being the end goal of socializing
>>736317375>if i wanted to play chink chess i'd play it on its own, not pay a monthly sub to play it in an mmoSpeaking as a Mongolian Dominoes enthusiast, XIV is actually my favourite client to play on because it has text chat instead of being emote-only like MJS or having a language barrier like Tenhou. I just wish more people played it so my queues weren't half an hour long at peak time.
>>736317531>my game that receives regular or semi-regular updates to keep a carrot perpetually in front of my face is NOT LIVE-SERVICEKekThe only meaningful difference between Fortnite and a subscription MMO in engagement techniques and addiction farming is the subscription MMO makes you pay to enter
>>736308281>its the smug yoshida from the "you're taking rpg away from ff16!! >no we are not, more details to come soon" slideman imagine being reminded of that
>>736315129Raid only faggots are the biggest cancer in mmos next to PvP only faggots. Raiding is probably like 10% of the game
>>736317668Off the top of my head FFXIV is, like, THE online mahjong game because it's F2P (free trial) and all the other stuff you mentioned
>>736317668If more people played it, that text chat would turn into a shitpost fest. There's a reason chat is limited in a lot of those other options and it's because human beings are awful.
>>736317653>prestige mounts/minionsliterally worthless at this point. when do you even get to show off your mount anymore? nobody is ever in the open world unless it's a hunt, and there's nowhere else to show it
>>736317856t. got called a fag with the raid planner feature during CC
>>736317924If I was actually doing CC I'd already be a massive faggot
>>736317924I wish I had it screenshotted but I got a TF2 payload HUD raid planner shared once
>>736311708Hrothgirls could have been so good.
>>736318178their bodies and animations are fine, me want cuter faces
