>dead game
>>736528729>he doesn't know they artificially have queues to give the illusion of player numbers
>>736529719great wowbuck cope
>>736529808He's right.
Someone go screenshot primal PF right now.
>>736530308erm everyone plays on aether now
I remember prior to Shadowbringers never seeing this at all and then afterwords it was like a permanent thing, even when the player counts were at their lowest.
>>736530246sure (You) are
I wonder how many people will be attending the tranny event on WoW
>>736528729That's a login queue not a total players on server queue, they let people through in batches every few deconds, outside peak times everybody in queue joins at once
>>736530398woah look at all those people idling
>>736529719Yes he does, this is a troll OP
>>736528729as time goes on and a game dies a slow and humiliating death, maintenance teams pull the plugs on server racks which lowers total server capacityso congratulations, ff14 is having a good day where maybe an entire 200 people want to play it instead of the usual 50 daily peak!Face it, your jap gooner catgirl simulator is dying, move on
>>736528729>>736530246If you think FFXIV is a "dead game", then why is the FFXIV Fanfest coming up this month? Do you care to answer? Or are you going to continue to blow Cheetos dust farts from your ass and call it "facts"?
>>736530387suspicious, isn't it? Almost like it's made to trick people
>>736530649>this gane is so popular, theres going to be an entire convention filled with people not playing it???
>>736530649Its their last ditch attempt to win back the 50% of the playerbase that dropped the game in Dawntrail.
>>736530747try 96%playercounts are being fudgedthere are everquest private servers with more real players daily
>>736530802Proof? Or are you going to spew bullshit with the rest of the trolls shitting on FFXIV?
>Beast Master announced in Spring 2024>Dawntrail released in Summer 2024>Beast Master releasing at the cusp of Fall 2026>Capped at lvl 50>reuses PLD animations right down to having a shield as well>content has a total life of 4 hours that exists to give you more allied seals which no one was hurting for if they also had BLU
>>736530387>>736530660Servers also never used to be too congested for world/datacenter visit before they opened the new datacenters that they're now desperately trying to populate. Even at the height of the games popularity in early EW I had no trouble going to and from Balmung and Aether whenever I wanted but now they're almost always closed despite the population being at its lowest in years. Curious.
>>736530541whoa look at all this cope
i deserve an EB like this...
>>736530387>>736530660If you two had any deduction skills you would've realized it's because of World Visist that was added in 4.5. That's where it became commonplace. The devs are too retarded to intentionally fudge numbers, but it's 100% tied to World and now Server Visit.
>>736530897>BLU updated July 2023>BLU update announced in February 2024>update due April 2026>update delayed to June 2027 (at the very earliest, no real date confirmed)
my dead wife
>>736530908They changed how congestion during visits worked at the start of Dawntrail, it was a trainwreck at first because it happened when Savage dropped so some people were stuck on Dynamis for the whole week and couldn't get to their homeworld.
>>736530398Now take a pic outside of Limsa. Or go to Dynamis and take one of any of their Limsas.
>>736530542>OP is a trollAnd OP looks like this whenever he's posting anti-FFXIV threads.
>>736530897why are gacha games the only games that get speedy updates?
>>736531094Sex with Tsuyu.
>>736530441>it's real
>>736531074For comparison. An extra month for 3.1 was a huge GAME IS DEAD WHAT IS HAPPENING issue back in 2015, the next time something like this happened was Eureka being delayed to 4.32 and two extra months between 5.2 and 5.3 because of Covid, that also caused DSR to be delayed to 6.1 which was a another minor controversy but nowhere near as bad as how 3.1 delay was viewed. Now we're at the point where things promised for an expansion (multiple variant dungeons, BLU) can just not happen at all. Everything is at stake from this moment on, nothing that is advertised for any future expansion is guaranteed anymore.
>>736530983always the face 5 middies
>>736531178Because Gacha games make a lot of money and take nothing to develop. They're pretty soulless, made for people who want a job when they're off work. Kinda perfect for those adjusted to MMObrain, and the bonus is you don't need a party to do the hard stuff so those with MMObrain who don't touch MMOs because they're antisocial immediately click with gacha.
>>736531178Nice cock ring. Anyway, yoshi p and square know they can get away with it so they do it. the general playerbase doesn't give a shit that the content road moves at a snails pace.
>>736531309>and take nothing to develop. They're pretty soulless,have you actually played gacha?genshin and the like are more like real mmo's than ffxiv is
>>736531178Gacha games actually make money.
>>736531112>They changed how congestion during visits worked at the start of DawntrailYeah, to try and force people to play on their own server/DC after they realized Dynamis was doa and everyone there was just visiting Aether/Crystal to actually play.
>>736531379ffxiv is/was making tons of cash tho
>>736531230a single tranny killed this game. Its remarkable
>>736529808It does though. If you're seeing less than 100 what it's doing is preventing server overload on a shitty engine and network. One of the biggest faults of FF14 is it's poor engine. The mobile remake really makes you wonder why YoshiP has been trying to salvage and put up with this dogshit engine for so long.
>>736531007The "there's a queue even though the game is dead" popup only became a thing during Endwalker
>>736531379XIV is probably the most profitable game sqex has ever or will ever make. They're absolute retards for not reinvesting into it as much as possible.
>>736528729>only 63 playersLOL LMAO
>>736528729>japanese network engineering >people pay monthly for this>still can't simply be offered to login to a different available server and told its 'too hard' to let you play with others on a different DCkek so not only are 14 players all tranny freaks they are also findom cucks
>>736531879Sixty three players trying to join all at once
>>736530747i can’t believe i not only bought dawn trail but played it’s entirety at release. the end city was cool but holy shit how did they fuck up everything after endwalker kino
SAW THE ME THAT I WANNA BERIDING FREE XTREME OH BABY CAN'T YOU SEECUT THE LEASH SO I CAN BREATHEAND NOW IN ME I CAN BELIEVE
Tried the free trial. Tried multiple classes but they all felt the same. Dungeons are long corridors. Boss fights are boring. Music is great. Community is really nice but not worth sticking around or pay a sub for. Uninstalled.
>>736533885>Tried multiple classes but they all felt the samewell yeah they all have like four buttons at very low levels
>>736533773SATE YOUR MIND WITH DREAMS OF GRANDEURAND GO BACK TO SLEEP
>>736533885Most people like the story, and the trial gets you most of it for free.
>>736531827t. financeletThe game having infinity billion yen pumped into it would have no tangible result at best (Yoshida would have even more rings) and would result in AAA enshittification at worstGo look at World of Warcraft and see what having infinity billion dollars pumped into it accomplished, all that happened to it was it attracted government spooks and now they have ex-CIA and Supreme Court in their execs to launder money
>>736534221Which is to say: what you're actually asking for should be for the game to have its staff beefed up, something they've historically struggled with because MMO dev is nonexistent in Japan and apparently continues to this dayBut you need to do something even more magical than pumping infinity billion yen into the game to accomplish this: you need Japan to have MMO developers, or developers willing to become MMO developers, and accept they're basically trapped in FFXIV (and maybe FFXVII or XVIII, some day) for the rest of their careers
>>736534221>Having the budget to actually put out more than 2 shitty updates a year would have no tangible resultOk retard>would result in AAA enshittification at worstIt would be quite hard for the game to become shittier than it already is.>>736534351>The game is bad because it's licherally impossible for them to hire new devsNew cope just dropped.
>>736534447>Having the budget toThis is a false premiseMore budget will not make game develop gooderPlease stop putting your head into the AAA sausage grinderYou are not a braindead corporate executive who also fails to see why money in does not have any strict correlation to product out in terms of development labor, please do not post like you are one
I, for one, would like the game to be betterI am open to an increased budget
>>736534491>More budget will not make game develop gooderThe games biggest problem is that there's no fucking content. You can't convince me that the update cycle getting worse and worse over the years isn't because of sqex chipping at the budget.
>>736533910They have 24 buttons at level 100 and still feel the same.
viera women need to be nerfedthey're way too sexy
Now fellas I'm just your average hard working, fag dragging, rootin tootin, boon cracking, christcuck anti-woke conservatard but I gotta say that Final Fantasy XIV - Dawntrail directed by Naoki Yoshida and localized by Kathryn Cwynar was a real breath of fresh air. Nah, there ain't a lick of the woke agenda in it and no preachy politics neither! And you know... Wuk Lamat's voice kinda grew on me. Out here in Texas we call her Oil Drillin' Wuk.
>>736534491I'd like the thread to take a moment and ponder just how the game's budget increasing actually would correlate to a higher quality game or faster content updatesGiven FFXIV has a pretty good story/gameplay hours to patch release timing even as it currently stands (patch 7.3 released August 5th 2025, patch 7.4 released December 16th, totals four month gap; MSQ alone is roughly 3-6 hours of stuff, AA game takes 2-3 years to deliver 20-25 hours of stuff, AAA game takes 5-10 years to deliver the same if it isn't artificially extended open world slop) this begs the following questions>How will this make patches come faster>How will this necessarily make the content of those patches better>How will this bring on more staff to perform all of the following points:>How will this improve music>How will this improve graphics, animation, art, etc.>How will this improve the server backend>How will this improve UI, including QoL>How will this improve resource usage (CPU overhead or RAM consumption, etc.)>How will this improve advertising for higher player onboardingEtc>>736534647For example again with this post, how is the update cycle getting worse? What has gotten worse, is this actually a developer problem or is it a player expectations management problem, has the time spent vs. time waited balance tilted in one direction too far, is the player simply burnt out and should not be listened to in the first place, what evidence is there that this is because of budgetary impacts
>>736530398Do all those people actually chat with each other? I miss the PSU days of sitting around on the 4th floor doing random shit kek
>>736534872Usually there's a butt-ton of AFKers and a few small groups chatting
>>736534841>what evidence is there that this is because of budgetary impactsYoshida has said twice now that they did not have the resources available for something that was planned and had to cut it. You are coping so hard you're denying reality.
>>736535016You are taking Yoshida out of context while failing to actually correlate that as a function of not having enough cash, and calling me coping and denying reality in the same breath; I don't think you have anything to add here
>>736535049>You are taking Yoshida out of contextNo, there's nothing to take out of context. In regards to FT normal mode and the BLU update he said they did not have the resources available for those and they had to go bye bye. What context am I removing here? Go on, explain how this works.>while failing to actually correlate that as a function of not having enough cashWhen you run a company, resources are obtained through cash. Employees are obtained through cash. Work hours are paid for in... can you guess? CASH.
>>736534751No one will ever convince me Wuk hate was overboardShe sucked
>>736535146dawntrail threads make more sense when you figure out they play basically identically to an /a/ thread about naruto, impotent seething about the protagonist and all
>>736535172Why would someone hate their WoL?
>>736535203>why would someone hate sasuke
>he's going for the shonen protag defense againTwo years of this but surely it'll stick this time.
>>736534841>how is the update cycle getting worse?In Heavensward major patches were about 3 months apart, now they're about 5. This isn't something you can argue. There is objectively much more time between patches now than there used to be, and they don't have more content.>MSQ alone is roughly 3-6 hours of stuffThat "stuff" is 90% watching cut-scenes that mostly consist of characters doing basic emotes at each other while talking (the majority of which are still unvoiced) and the other 10% is one single dungeon and one single trial which take like 30m to complete in total. Don't even try to pretend that the MSQ is good content or worth the 5 month wait at all.
>>736531893>they are also findom cuckstrue but even i have my limitsi quit once my findom quit
>>736530398What south korean f2p mmo is this?
>>736535136Cash cannot make employees appear from thin air, your out of context read on Yoshida's talk of resources (most likely manpower) is based in the completely magical idea that employees appear from thin air when enough cash is aroundPlease don't pipe up if you don't have anything to add>>736535262They're 4-1/2 at highest, don't round up to bolster your pointMore time between patches isn't necessarily anything wrong with the patch cycle, the game retains a very high output to time-wait ratio relative to more traditional video games>That "stuff" is 90% watching cut-scenes...You're never gonna believe this shit anon but that's almost every story-focused game, don't look up how many long cutscenes Metal Gear Solid 3 and 4 have
>account management and crossplay with steam still royally fucked.I am not rebuying this shit plus a sub just to start all over again
do we like this?
XIVsisters be like: YO, this dungeon desing is fucking :fire emoji: :fire emoji: :fire emoji:
>>736535413looks like the average WoW dungeon
>>736533885>Tried multiple classes but they all felt the same.They completely killed any class identity at lower levels with each new expansion by removing skills every single time, during ARR you had a new skill almost every 2 levels until level 30 if not more and they were all important to various degrees, now you're lucky if you have 10 meaningful skills at level 30
>>736535450Depending on the job you'd be surprised by how little has actually changed, Dragoon for example is just as shittastic as it's ever been
>>736535437Lol
>>736535556go on anon.draw the route you take through that dungeon.
>>736535504At least physical jobs don't have to grind one to level 42 anymore to get Invigorate and Blood for Blood. Cross-job skills were both one of the most interesting things about the jobs but also one of its worst parts.
>>736535413WHOA, there are way too many curves there. ARR uncs actually played that slop...?Now this right here? It's PEAK!
>>736535673I think cross-class ended up mostly as a proof of concept that a job system sucks in a tab-target MMO's context
>>736535697Actually it was mostly just proof that WoWniggers should have stayed away from Final Fantasy (that includes you).
>>736535695Is this a DT dungeon or something?
>>736535734Lay it on any harder and you might sprain something anon
>>736535748That's from Shadowbringers (the PEAK!)
>just found out Spoony plays this
I've unsubbed after the yokai watch and never looked back.What did i miss out on?
>>736535753There's nothing about crossclassing that doesn't work. If you slotted in any currently existing skills into crossclass, the skills would function exactly the same. There's nothing about the acquisition method that does not function in a tab target MMO. The reason you hated it is because you're a WoWnigger and you shouldn't be playing Final Fantasy when you hate one of the core gameplay systems the series is known for.
>>736535909Pearls before the swine, an average mmo player would suffer a brain aneurysm if he had to consider more than one rotation and more than one skill choice.
Why don't they just make a new FF mmo (without Yoshi P team)?
>>736535320>They're 4-1/2 at highest, don't round up to bolster your pointStill longer than they used to be.>the game retains a very high output to time-wait ratio relative to more traditional video gamesIt's also not just about waiting time, the value is shit too. $12 for a month of sub for the privilege of watching the newest emote cut-scenes and doing the new duties that in total take a couple hours at most isn't worth it. >You're never gonna believe this shit anon but that's almost every story-focused gameWell you see the problem here is that the story sucks balls. MSQ cut-scenes making up a large amount of a patches content wasn't a problem when the story wasn't a flaming pile of shit. For a time the MSQ was my favorite part of a patch but I just started skipping cut-scenes midway through DT.
>>736535697I disagree, the main problem with it was that they had the "great" idea of locking role-mandatory skills behind it, like fucking taunt or Invigorate like I said but the debates around things like using Fracture or not on MNK was the sole time the game had any interesting discourse going on about its jobs.
>>736536006A lot more among the playerbase pay further fees to maintain additional retainers.
>>736536023I think the trouble of threading the needle on abilities being good enough to take but not good enough that they're mandatory is way more than it's worth to just not have the system in favor of what the devs settled on, all those abilities being available for all roles by default
>>736535237This horrible 70 IQ false analogy won't make anyone suddenly like Wuk, you realize this right?
>>736536039Yes because they're addicted to giving yoshit piss money for nothing in return.
>>736536093you've been fighting wuk lamat lovers on twitter for so long that you're seeing them where they don't exist
>>736531359I've played most of the known ones and they're literally all just synthetic chink copy-paste theme parks, granted with varying levels of quality. The only social aspects(in-game) being relegated to pure business transactions for f2p friend list gibs. I would genuinely rather use Gmod, Tower Unite or tableslop(eg. Liar's Bar, Mahjong, etc.) as an excuse to interact with people.
>>736536137>you've been fighting wuk lamat lovers on twitterNot everyone who dislikes Wuk is one schizo boogeymanok I know he's real but still, it's just 85% of the playerbase
>>736535823Proof? 2026 really is the year of the Spoonster.
>>736535997They should try, it would be really funny if they did.
>>736534696go back to wow then nigger
>>736536835Never played it. Post your /playtime.
>>736536835>criticizing xiv at all means you're a wownig
I just think she's neat.But man trying to finally nut up and do the Dawntrail msq is like pulling teeth. I don't care about any of these characters or groups or any of the worldbuilding that would usually keep me going along.

>>736537141I have over 10k hours in this game and I pray daily for all of this to happen.
can't you guys just have fun playing mmos with your pals?
>>736529719>Im a cuck from World of Warcuck Yeah we all know retard
How do you respond without sounding mad?
>>736537141>you will live to see yoshi pstop fucking lying to methe world is hopeless enough without false dreams
>>736537528It's really a very simple mechanic.
>>736537947It really is, I just wanted to see if the one guy would throw a fit about raiders or savage or something
>>736537528dragalia lost didn't die for this
>>736530649Because they organised it with the sales from Dawntrail expansion in 2024, and booked the venue at the beginning of 2025. What point are you trying to make here that because they booked a venue years in advance it somehow means the game is or isn't popular?
>>736537141why would they shut it down? some people would still pay the monthly sub even if they never updated the game. it's free money
>>736539425If you haven't noticed, SE is dying.
>>736530398>Balmung (busiest server) Limsa at peak hours>95% of those people are idleAlso it's funny when plugins are down after maintenance. The entire game is dead which just goes to show that the majority of people playing are using plugins. Whether it's Lightless etc so they can goon off or because they need Splatoon etc to cheat.
>>736539681>If you haven't noticed, SE is dying.I've been noticing people saying this for about 20 years now, but they're still around.
>>736539852They're pretty consistent on miracle home runs when they need them, FF was one of them, but eventually those will run out. Unless FF17 or KH4 are everything anyone could hope they could be, there's no clawing out of their situation now.

>>736531430non-EN languages, who gave wuk lmao a real woman as a VA, also suffered a massive player bleedplease PLEASE seek medical help for your obsession
30 million players. Endless permanently evergreen content. At least it doesn’t have fags and troons like WoW. Yep, I’m thinking FFXIV beat WoW. Take that, Shadowlands. We are NEVER running Torghast again.
>>736548136
>>736548136sis is still buckbroken by a 6 year old xpac lmaaaao
>>736548136wow doesn't even have a lowlander equivalent. What's the fucking point in that game even existing?
>>736528729this isn't a queue because the server is full you retard, it's a queue when a certain amount of people connect at the same time

>>736530398This game is great for women and men who want to be women
>>736548767you dont even play the game you faggot and it shows, if anything you probably play wow and just try to ragebait
Does wow have a xivmods equivalent?
>>736548898WoW is a video game not a masturbation assistant. Which we don’t like, since we all like gooning and playing other games.
Look at this cat
Obligatory factual statement that XI was and is still better

Why is FFXIV community so shit?

Where are the lalas. Only they can save us
>>736549796Every community is shit once it gets large enough.
>>736550056Not true. Breathing air community is pretty chill.
When are they renaming Elusive Jump to Elusive gofastbackwards? This garbage ability isn't a jump
>>736548898no, wow jannies actually do their job and ban people modifying game files, mainly because the overworld isn't completely dead but instead full of valuable lootable objects you could potentially model swap with something extremely large and hard to miss
>>736549796trannies and xiv players are the same breed, both require affirmation.
>>736550507lmao what? people have been editing their game files since vanilla where it was a way to exploit to the npc in aq40 to get your blessed qiraji gear before your guild killed twin emps. shit, overrated used it to skip the entire raid and go right to c'thun. iirc people used to edit some gathering node models too so they were easier to see.
>>736549796It has TONS of super sweet and friendly people. As long as you’re not a toxic shitter asshole, grey parser or chud, we’ll be super duper friendly. You better respect our pronouns or we’ll report you. Keep your drama and toxic attitude at the door. It’s not hard to be friendly, sweetie ^^

Scanning this thread and my observation is genuine posts get ignored but ritual posts and spam get replies.Tells me you people aren't here to talk about the game or each other, you just want to come here and dump your mind worms and get validation.

>>736559958Job gameplay needs a higher skill ceiling all around and more niche, situational skills that make each job shine in their own special areas if you know what you're doing with them.They don't need more buttons or combos though. And the game doesn't need more body checks or faster AoEs.

>>736558672Fucking hell this faggot ruined my frontlines roulette yesterday with his dogshit calls
>>736560524Savage holding the entire game hostage is just shit. While we're at it, lower savage difficulty too. Lower boss difficulty across the board while raising job skill ceilings. Then you have more asses in the seats for high end content and it creates more possibility for high skill individuals to carry friends, while simultaneously raising the difficulty of the entire game in general because lower level content becomes more involved through your job. And if jobs are made more unique, one piece of content becomes almost endlessly unique because you have to figure out how to handle it on each job.
>>736560779Yes, I know.
>>736559157Shut the fuck up and XIV it
>>736529719Damn we are still using this cope? I've seen this posted since Shadowbringers

>>736560820i have no issue with low skill floors. i lose absolutely nothing by having people who aren't as good as me at the game be able to get through dungeons and such
>>736562326You can have low skill floors as long as you have sufficiently high ceilings too. Lowered boss difficulty but higher skill ceilings for high skill players just means more people are doing content and the high end players get to feel cool for saving runs and carrying shitters with their knowledge of their job. Baldesion Arsenal and Delubrum Reginae are good examples of that.
>>736560953Why don't you shut the fuck up and accept my marriage proposal, suck my dick, carry my baby, create a family together and live a happy life with me looking after you?
That's how you do it.
>>736528729uh oh, wowcucks with their upcoming official pridemonth event wont like this thread kek
>>736562534good players dragging others through content aren't going to be more likely to drag others over the finish line if the way they interact with combat is too complicated. you want the game to be more annoying to play, not more difficult
>>736561510It IS a mod sharing platform you're talking about, being referenced in a cryptic line in somebody's bio.>oh i don't use that teeheeGet real
>>736563621>good players dragging others through content aren't going to be more likely to drag others over the finish line if the way they interact with combat is too complicatedThat's not true at all. High skill players typically like more complicated interactions and they especially like pulling them off successfully and doing something that makes them feel cool. There are much more complicated multiplayer games with very high skill ceilings where this happens all the time, like FFXI or Deep Rock Galactic.>you want the game to be more annoying to play, not more difficultI want it to be more difficult and less difficult. With difficulty shifted into job gameplay and away from lightspeed boss AoEs and body checks, the game becomes more accessible to lower skill players and also gives high skill players something to keep them entertained in low end content (the majority of the game). It benefits everyone.
i have no issue with vague posts. i lose absolutely nothing by having people who aren't as good as me posting on /v/ and such
What if we make a Hard Mode that is literally the Savage fight but with indicators and instant death mechanics deal damage + apply a fuck huge damage down?Then people can learn the fights blind as intended and you'll still wipe anyways because fucking up mechanics means an Enrage instant wipe later down the line due to lack of damage.Obviously it won't work on every mechanic but it would work on a lot.

>>736567531I did experience it and even then it was possible for the other two groups to salvage it. Also very funni that you think "make fights more lenient so good players can potentially carry" means "remove all failstates".
>>736570175You can't afford 100 scrips?
>>736567531>not saving your group with tank lb
>>736571474I haven't needed to craft any collectables so far so no, seems a dumb thing to add to a leveling quest
>>736571839Collectables are a pivotal part of crafting gameplay so introducing it during the quests makes sense.
its over...
Is there a reason why combat needs to be around 60s/120s break points? Even though Arcadion did a good job of bringing fight variety and making you work for a greedy GCD, the fights are still clearly made to be more lenient at the minute mark. I think the only example where you can be screwed is south clone no tether in M12SP2 and only if you're MNK because you just have nothing beside Fire's Reply after the boss jumps north and you're all the way south so youre behind 1-2 GCDs of burst.
>>736572143because yoshi-p believes that classes working together to increase output is a core mechanic of mmos. thats expressed in cooldown usage
>>736572143Raid babies were crying that their buffs didn't align properly and figuring out how to hold their burst was too hard.To no one's surprise they blamed the casuals for this as if the "afk in Limsa" people and roulette heroes ever gave a single fuck about that.
>>736529719See i know this bullshit, but i play on Ultros which is very congested and yet a couple months after an new expansion is oit i dont see anyone anywhere. Not in the base game areas, not on leveling areas of new expansions. Its always just a couple of people outside palace of the dead, limsa or whatever new hub city the new expansions have. In the end outside of dungeons, trails and raids the world of Ff14 truly feels void of life to the point i would believe the queue numbers are a lie
How is FF11 compared to 14? One of my biggest issues with 14 is that skill doesn't translate between encounters. You can be good at an Ultimate and be completely trash at a normal trial. Is 11 a constant trial and error in the same manner 14 is?
>>736573516It's completely different and knowledge of your job and how it and any skills you have interact with enemies is core to gitting gud. It's a strategic RPG, not repeated wipes until you learn the dance routine.
>>736573516ff11 is less about execution and more about planning and preparation. for example: in the Chains of Promathia expansion, most bosses have an item that makes them far easier to defeat and farming those items up will overshadow any personal expression of skill
>Doing Extremes >Other Tank (with an Ultimate title) keeps trying to stack with me during busters
dawntrail released in 2024lol
>>736573998Always assume anyone with an ultimate title or weapon glamour on is a useless clown.
>>736572048>didn't save a Midare
>>736574450during my samurai exploits in normal raid roulette, i find i'm getting killed a lot more often due to other players, either bad tanking positioning or people not stackingis it just coincidence?
>>736574551so whats this guy gonna do now that he's hit the wall where its impossible to continue?
>>736574623I don't watch this type of slop, but they usually just break the rules in a way that lets them continue and milk it for as long as they can
>>736574623as one versed in esoteric ymfah lore, either ignore the blockade and keep going "illegally" or do the same thing and acknowledge you've been defeated before continuing anyways
>>736574623he already hit the wall, i don't know if you can cheese SoS by killing yourself then when Elidibus use the LB, execute a res with another character so you resurrect right after the LB so it doesn't count as a wipe.
>>736574891i think just admitting he can't solo SoS and continuing is what he'll do. he won't be able to get past zodiark for sure as well
>>736574551He was rushing it, you can defeat Hades solo but you need better gearhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIRWqhxYVR8

>>736576189Nobody uses linkshells bruh.>>736576402I do...
>>736528729This shit has been so fucking annoying to me. I was trying this game out well before it got popular again off the back of WoW discontentment. Even when it was relatively dead they would have this annoying queue wait time like they couldn't possibly stomach losing a couple cents to let people log in properly. I fucking hate SE. The best part of FF14 is ignoring the MSQ and exploring the areas. I would play an action-rpg survival type of game in this setting where you just go around resolving issues trying to eek out a living. Or really almost any type of game that wasn't tab target MMO garbage.Anyways fuck your general >>>/vg/

>>736582364well you did get an excellent trash battleground there. makes me wonder how long we'll actually be in windurst. also, if its windurst, think we'll get fenrir?which fight will shantotto be? will it be the real one?
>>736582450Based on how San d'Oria went, I don't think starting in Windy means we'll get anything specific. I hope we get an avatar boss rush though.
>>736582508we have primals at home though100% getting serpent generals. i'm thinking it is gonna be like orbonnes in which we'll be fighting good guys
>>736582561He said he was going to look to the power of the gods, so Aht Urhgan makes me think Alexander and Odin rather than the Serpent Generals. You may be right though.
>>736582602i'd prefer them to stick to 11 originals. i'll give some leeway with Ultima and Omega as at the time they were released there'd only been 3 omegas and 4 ultima weapons, and they didn't really look like the previous iterations

>>736583670I'm wondering still who he *is* since all indications are he was somebody's player character, knowing the people he does and having been to the places he's been
>>736529719>artificially have queues to give the illusion of player numbers
>>736586353Prishe doesn't know him so he's not Warrior of Crystal, he's either a random guy that partied up with WoC or it's some meta thing.
>>736586353my theory is he's between becoming a god and giving up those powers. the time in between, even if its an instant in game
>>736586416Nobody knows him in the projection which is the thing. I think he's the XI PC from the real Vana'diel and Sareel Ja's recreation of Vana'diel either doesn't account for him for some reason or is purposefully excluding him from it
>>736586482I really can't see them introducing a canon WoC.
>>736586482>there must always be a WoC>even if the Vanadiel he's from is fake
>>736586519well Shantotto appears to be in the liveletter. it would be 100% within the real Shantotto's character to sense a copy of herself and investigate
>>736586698i sorta hope the real shantotto doesn't appear because i find the "FF squirrel girl" thing she has going to be wildly unfunny
