Don't autosage video games threads please modsFFXIV live letter finished up and looks really promising
>>737117346Generals belong on /vg/
>>737117346Jannies don't like it when you talk about video games instead of culture war hysteria.
>>737117436aeeuhh backseat admins aren't supposed to suck dicks
>janny will think the OP image is one of those Lalas from here.
Jannies are WoW-goones, which is why their pornographic shitpstong threads are never treated as generals.
Get fisted>>737117591Probably not, they ignore reports against the Y'shtola haired one, both the real one and his simp. They do know who is who
>previous thread's op bannedmods pls
Imagine
>>737117346>op gets banned>cries about it>immediately ban evadestongue my anus these threads belong on /vg/
>>737118314Do you post this in WoW threads too?
>>737118314And fags like you belong in death camps.
>>737118314No anon not everybody that posts about FFXIV is one person
Dalmud hangs low over this thread
>>737118293ffxiv spaghetti and fried chicken
>>737117346>>737117674those potato nigger look like absolute garbage. now wonder your piece of shit game is dying
>>737118432Everyone is watching netflix with auto duty...its over
I would go to the /vg/ thread if it wasn't full of coomers
>>737117346so, Kefka ultimate?
>calyx is still aroundfucking corrupt jp voice acting lobby. get this shit character out of my game.
>>737118350>No answerYeah I think we know though.You don't.
>>737118314Buy the pig
>>737118570Probably him + Warring Triad>>737118597Can't take that nigga seriously in his little chud suit.
fire kate fire hiroi.
>>737118691i mean just Kefka's fight in itself lends itself well to the multiphase nature of ultimates. I wonder what the 'what if' will be as far as narrative, or will it just be an honest to lore Kefka
>>737118597>Voiced by Aoi Yuuki.Fucker is going to stay for a while.
>>737118807yea i know. what a shit character.
>>737117436>>737118314Maybe someone can explain to me why posts about WoW are okay when they have several generals right now?
>>737117346>FFXIV live letter finished up and looks really promisingI don't get why anyone is still huffing hopium over live letters. These faggots will tell you anything to get you to resub. These same niggers made a big deal about new dye channels and lo and behold the second dye channel wasn't even available on more than maybe a dozen outfits, older outfits were either shafted or they got a literal tiny insignificant feature that was affected by the new dye channel.You're going to get the exact same 2 group 1 boss repeat 3x hallway dungeons, you're going to get more and more samey classes, and you're going to get some stupid boring instadeath hopscotch """raid""". They've done this for years now. What exactly is there to be hopeful for?
>>737118895You can't bring that upYou'll just be accused of having WoW live rent free in your headSTOP NOTICING THINGS
>>737118905For me it is another outfit I can wear for a week with the second dye channel being the buttons.
>>737118807Wait wtf i thought that character was a dude? Is it only squirrel form thats squeaking like a nut? Aoi yuuki and Halibutt might sell me on reaching 7.4-5 unironically.
>whataboutism
so this is a voidsent possessing Quintus' body right
>>737118974youre going to get a lot of padding and 3 seconds of vague halibutt scenees in 7.5 then wait FIVE months for more halibutt vagueness then in 8.0 due to rewrites none of it will matter.
>>737118905I'm hopeful for the forked tower magic, thats literally it. There is nothing else for me.
>>737119051thats an instant cutscene skip.
>>>/vg/
>>737119119naw, let the garlefags see what happened to their leader and that they once again have to rely on savages to save themthe trailer's theme also has the same leitmotif as Tower of Babil
>>737118350>>737118658>>737118895who the fuck is talking about WoWI do not play that shitty kike gamewhat is this neuroticism red lane blue lane shit with you trannies just go to /vg/ where you can talk about the patch thereyou've got almost 4 months to do it plenty of time
>>737118952i just want a fair explenation
clown ultimate for clown expansion
>>737119205holy shit literal nothing burger patch. until the last 5 mins of .55 >noooo stay away from our ruined empire ou savages nooooo >5 mins of wasted custcenes later>CLITEUM UNLOCKED.
>>737119279The explanation is that the jannies like WoW and don't like XIV. Been that way forever.Hope that helps.
>XIV thread that is nothing but shitposting/doomposting and is made by a specfic lolcow, populated by other lolcows ensuring thread stays fucking garbage>*crickets*>XIV thread that is on topic and discussing the game, particularly recent updates and content>deleted with extreme prejudicerorrmao>hall monitor is cocky and trying to repeat his report spam success that helped take Uma threads down because he knows there's a retard mod who enables his behavior now if he doesn't like the same gamehahahahaheeheeheehee

>>737117346>beastmaster isn't a kinda janky pet class>its FUCKING METERSLOP AGAINAAAAAAAAAAA I HATE THIS RETARDED NIGGER SO MUCH
>>737118691His chud suit is what makes him perfect
>>737117346>FFXIV live letter finished up and looks really promisingNo it does not. Zero as the story beats for the next expansion has me already tapped out and not resubbing. If people don't know she was a character written by Hiroi. So why do people hate Wuk Lamat but like Hiroi if the criticism was the writing? Both are written by the same fucking guy!
>>737119590they liked the hat design..which is now missing.
>>737119590Because zero at the very least had an understandable character arc
they still didn't tell us what type of armor beastmaster wears. lol
>>737119367>umatroon still mad about itBut I thought you would win at the end as you said AHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>737119679>ignore past voidsent lore>what is food>what is feelingsrepeat>repeat tower arc twice in a row hiroi is dogshit but at least hat zero had a good design from vampire hunter
>>737119418It IS a kinda janky pet class, if anything more involved than Summoner used to be because you're actually ping-ponging off of your summon in tandem. Poking your summon to give you a buff, shield, ability or use an attack with a unique effect per-summon is just old Summoner
>>737119590Be honestYou're pissed they tried Zero multiple times before already and their names were Cylva and Unukalhai
>>737119792it also looks to be super strong. during the training dummy section the super combo thing did 6k damage, thats a lot at level 50
>>737119792it isn't because you don't control the pets. It might as well be three different stances>>737119754I didn't say it was a particularly GOOD arc. I just hold that there is an arc there to parse, it's good enough to at least nod your head to and more importantly doesn't warp the entirety of the world building
>>737119935>it isn't because you don't control the pets. It might as well be three different stancesHey anon guess how Summoner used to work
>>737119051Oh ffs is Quintus back now? I knew this Garlean shit would be gay as fuck
>People waited 3 years for Beast Master to be this
>>737119276Like clockwork lmao
>>737120014its just speculation. but voidsent do have a hobby of possessing dead bodies
>>737120014You can tell it's Quintus because his head is blown open
>>737120120thats the unironic reason i think its him
>>737120159>Twas a grand and glorious dream we shared *gets puppeted by a voidsent demon*If they're good writers they'll spin this as, like, Garlemald's legacy coming back to haunt the remaining populace, literally, from one of their most jingoistic legatii's corpses being piloted
Did they say anything about letting oce players visit other dc's? Going fucking insane over here
LolLmao
So when's north horn coming out? And ultimate?
>please dear player.. don't unsub... the team is approaching burnout
>>737120448Nothing about DC/cross-DC
>>737120120>>737120159Can't be
>>7371206594.55 so late july
>>737120559Do they have anyone on their team who knows about Event Planning? Why are they so shit at planning events and content releases for the one thing that is important and that is the game? Where's the road map for this year?
>>737121031They usually go over this kind of stuff at the actual Fanfests, you're posting a schedule that was given at a FanfestThis is a Live Letter we just got
>>737120559So when is the actual expansion launch if the jap fanfest is halloween?
>>737120659ultimates typically come out in .X1, so june
>>737121190We don't know. Most guess sometime early 2027
>>737121190"Sooner than you think" is all that was given, we've got no idea. Could be immediately after JP fanfest for all we know, Dawntrail's own release date hit an early summer metric that got all the shitposters riled up because they were expecting a fall release date
>>737121096>Yoshida your game is in trouble>Should we change things up and try and tell paying subscribers the release schedule so they can get excited for our game?>No let's stick rigidely to our previous expansion release schedule>But Yoshida, players are burned out and are losing interest, there is massive competition for attention out there>FF14 is the numba WON! Geddit? WON because I always win!
>>737121309It's not that deep anon you'll get the schedule you're wanting at fanfests
>>737117346If the game doesn't get some kind of repeatable, grindable content long term its just going to keep dying. M+ has its issues but it works wonders for player retention in WoW.
doomers in shambles. lol
>>737121393They're heavily implying they're shifting to some kind of horizontal progression after 8.0 so we'll see
>>737121309>Two more weeks and Square dies, this time for sure
>>737119590They've mentioned for a few months they intentionally left the post-Endwalker 13th Shard plot line as limited as possible because they want to return to it at some point. I'm genuinely shocked it might be next though.8.0 might be a 13th Shard dedicated expansion with more Voidsent than sense.
>>737121597We've already got people chewing their tongues off in anger still that Zero was the chosen Cecil analogue that actually made the Paladin transition and not Cylva or Unukalhai after previous set-up for both of those twoI'm excited for it
Can anyone give me a quick run down of the main story beats after we killed Caylx? Havn't played since the FRU ult. What's the expansion going to be.
Wait a minute /v/ told me the void arc was filler so how are Zero and Golbez showing up again?
>>737121793Back 2 Da Void Again
>>737121383SAY THE FUCKING LINE DON'T JUST STEAL MY SHIT
>>737121839It was filler in the same way the Warriors of Darkness were filler during HW
Kefka is so fucking boring for an ult. Total dogshit expansion. Clown ult for the clown status of jobs right now I guess.
>>737121395
>>737118691didn't yoshi-p say something about "meta"? Could be a ff last boss rush. or at least a small handful of them.
>>737121839The void is one of the last plotlines thats still running from the beginning of the game. Its always been background but soon it won't be.
>No Unuk>No Cylva>No GaiaGod I hate the writers so fucking much
>>737122038meta could also mean Kefka + Warring Triad since they're not related in 14 but are in 6
>>737121995>enter room with seven other clowns>a ninth appears
I forgot how to do Forsaken
>>737121589>You want a road map for the game, for the final few months of Dawntrail that must mean you want the game and Square Enix to die!
>>737122285>life or death emergency that a fanfest roadmap schedule was not delivered in a live letter
>>737121665>I made up a scenario in my own head and now I'm angry at itThe post.
>>737121793Calyx is now a buccee's doll and is running around with an au ra ascianwe go to the 9th, turns out there's still survivors, and krile finds some distant familyfor the first time in ten billion years we have a afaik "canonically" solo fight that's a trial against doomtrain, a lindblum weaponsomething something au ra ascians talks about "withering", is scared shitless of the WoL
>>737122341there's one right there anon >>737122062
>>737122341I am very pointedly not angry at my own scenario
>>737121597The 13th is not going to be a major focus because they clearly greatly value visual variety in areas and everywhere in the 13th looks the same, you will get 1, maybe 2 areas in it.
>>737122341That happens a lot, doesn't it
>>737122319>Something that wasn't said but somehow means a road map can't exist
>>737120848Thanks
>>737122112true

>>737122385Samefagging your own post
DYESSSSSSSS FREE UP 40 SLOTS
>>737122473Point out in that post where it was said 'life or death emergency'. I'll wait.
>>737122570So general purpose black and general purpose white market about to die?
>>737122681No the Jet Black/Pure White dyes and other cash shoppables are getting specific exclusions, I'm guessing in part because $$$$$$$$$$$ and in part because they're used to pad out the retainer coffer loot pool
>>737122681specifically the general purpose/metallic ones are except.
>>737122731Or, wait, ARE the venture coffer loot pool
>>737121995Don't forget (you), the clown player
>>737122384Oh I had to skip half of the 9th part to clear the train for the raid. I thought it was a dumb simulation or something again. Guess I need to check the inn.
>>737118905I dont think ff14 is the game of choice for riveting dungeon designs not has it ever been.
>>737122678It went very quiet all of a sudden
>>737122901Interesting dungeons are pretty incompatible with doing them possibly daily, I definitely don't want any kind of OoT Water Temple bullshit going on in my expert roulette
>>737122894nah, it was an actual thing that was a problem for the survivors because there's no longer someone to tell it to stop, so it's just running laps and attacking anyone near its' path, plus wasn't running out of energy because of the perma lightning storms
>>737119590zero isn't as fucking obnoxious as Wuk desu.
>cater to raiders>game dies
yfw the 8.0 trailer memberberry motif is Shadow's theme with Gaius narrating over it
>>737122943The playerbase has been asking for an overhaul of the tome system for years. A lot more players raid now they need to make it cap you instead of doing braindead dungeons. Or just change the gear system all together, it creates massive fatigue.
>>737123005Wuk is obnoxious because she has too much fucking screentime, Zero naturally has a lesser version of it with nowhere near as much screentime
>>737123062Well good news anon they're doing both of those things, gear is receiving some kind of change (Enuo is slated to be the final EX trial boss to give out totems) and tomestones are being overhauled for 8.0
If the next expansion is The Void I'm done with this game, We fought enough voidsent already and their whities counterparts in Shadowbringers.
>>737123008They didn't cater to raiders we got the same content we always do and made classes braindead lmao. If anything catering to casuals with useless shit like space exploration made the game worse. Oh and a shit story.
>>737119590Emet-Selch and Asahi were characters written by Hiroi too, the game has multiple writers for a reason
>>737123008I don't know why MMOs keep making this same mistake over and over again.
>>737119051cute feet
>>737123215Nuh uh, ackchully all writing is done by whoever is credited as lead writer. Supervisory writers also don't exist
>>737123215>Emet-Selch and Asahi were characters written by Hiroi too,Emet-Selch was written by IshikawaAsahi I have no idea but Emet-Selch was absolutely not written by Hiroi, he was written by Ishikawa and famously so, you could have picked a lesser known character who's authors identity was unknown.
FFXIV died with Hydaelin. It was a perfect opportunity to put the game on life support mode and make another mainline FF MMORPG that doesn't look and run like 15 year old smelly ass. But noooo let's start over with another epic and faceplant on the starting line like EVERYONE knew they would.
>>737123206All tranny knows is install plugin and lie.
>>737123341Hiroi wrote the patch he first appears in anon It's why he's a completely fucking different character in StB
>Dawntrail was supposed to be the end of everything I hate about the story>did a complete 180 back into Ascian shit>7.5 trailer has a huge focus on Azem's wack-ass crystal TWICEI'm so done with this shit, there is just NO way off the Ancients wild ride
>>737123409He was just fucking with Varis, he wasn't a different character
>>737123350Do you really think SE would have allowed XIV to go maintenance mode at its peak popularity?Get real
>>737123486For all the squalling about the game's imminent death it would have to sink well below ARR numbers for there to be anything resembling a problem
>>737123409That's not what you said, you said Emet-selch was a character written by Hiroi. Not that the patch he first appeared was written by Hiroi.
>>737122868I have LITERALLY never seen the wall or the retainer fantasia drop from these, ever
>>737123415>gets preparatorily mad about ancients when story shifts to ascians and doesn't talk about ancients at allLol>>737123601By definition that means Hiroi wrote for Emet-Selch, don't be a pedantic brat>>737123602I've gotten retainer fantasias but never seen the moogle wallpaper, apparently you can craft it at level 50 WVR anyways so it wouldn't be a high value drop despite the rarity
>>737123415You're going to be here all this year and next year posting in these threads. We know.
>>737123415I want to make a more indepth version of this, because what it's missing is there was a setup with Ivalice alongside Garlemald since 2.0. But when Shadowbringers started, it pivoted away.
>>737120014Do you believe everything you read on 4chan?
>>737123415I'm so tired of ancient shit, they unironically ruined the setting by having LITERALLY FUCKING EVERYTHING EVER revolve around them.

>>737123973>whines about yoshida while getting pretty major story elements wrongSwish
>>737123657No it is not, it means that he wrote the story for the patch. While the character dialogue, the character creation was all Ishikawa's.Same with Moenbryda, with Ysalye, with Hauchefant. They were Ishikawa characters as well, but placed within Maehiros stories.You were told by that other anon that the game has multiple writers for a reason. Hiroi very explicitly did not write Emet-Selch, he was an Ishikawa creation. All you're doing is showing how limited your knowledge of the game really is.
>>737124001How new are you to be defending jannoids in 2026
>>737124050Yeah man I bet Ishikawa signed off on Moenbryda's death immediately, like literally immediately, after her introduction.
The state of the game is beyond dire. Time to break the emergency glass.>ff7 raid tier>zenos ultimate>scion dating>minion battles like pokemonThe only thing that will help at this point
>>737124050moenbryda is really shitty evidence of that interpretation of the writing process
>>737124106It makes sense, there doesn’t need to be a female roe in the main party when that’s the WoL
>>737124195>The state of the game is beyond direnot even accurate

>>7371230058.0 will make sure that she's gonna be just as obnoxious as the female mutt if the post-EW patches are any indication
>>737124416Anon (You) are a reincarnated ancient
>>737124106You're not understanding two very different things here. You originally said the character creation and yes the character creation was Ishikawa and guess what? No she didn't sign off on Moenbryda being immediately killed, or Ysyle or Haunchefant for that matter, in fact it was something she was incredibly frustrated at both YoshiP and Maehiro, that she kept creating these characters who she had long term plans for, and then they were immediately killed off by Maehiro. Ishikawa wrote most of Endwalker which is why there was a heavy emphasis on Uriangers character and Moen's parents as Ishikawa was trying to bring the character arcs full circle.

>>737118561The /vg/ threads are just gooners trying to get e-sex. When you ask them if they want to discuss the game they just smugly send you the url for r/xivdiscussion.There really isn't a good place to discuss the game on this site since on /v/ you get retards directing you to /vg/ and threads being deleted. Oh but WoW threads are completely okay to have on /v/ I guess.
Is BST coming on patch release or later?

When are we getting Cosmos. Speen just being garnet was lame.
>>737123960Ah, rules for thee but not for me, classic.
>>737117346I can make an educated guess, but they still haven't told us what drops in what patch - don't they usually do that in the second LL?
>>737124712iirc they said it's not coming in late 7.5 (7.55 and 7.58), but in this liveletter they kinda hinted at it not releasing on 7.5, so that leaves 7.51 as the only option.
Give me the summary of the live letter. Now.
>>737124643Nael Van Darnus
>>737117674I have absolutely no idea what this would be from.>storeThey don't preview store mounts during LLs>pvp7.4 series had a mount, next should have gear>kefka ultimateThey don't usually tie mounts to ultimate, but mayhaps.
>>737124663>the ancients who are a focal point of every part of the game's story except for the second expac
>>737124034What's funny to me is that 7.4 made a big deal how she could choose her appearance at will, and Calyx pointed out she's wearing the wrong clothes for the era. Yoshi-P's interview says there might be a reason to that.I bet she's doing this intentionally, maybe because of an Azem related memory.
>>737124034She's the eye candy for the next expansion.
>>737124671What is your obsession with WoW, genuinely? I look at the catalog almost all day and see a wow thread maybe once every 2 weeksPrivate server threads dying and getting sued for the 50th time does not count at all
>>737124948yes, nael is the equivalent to regular sephirothzenos is compilation-rotha third one would probably be in line with whatever the fuck the 7 remakes are trying to make sephiroth out to be
>>737124946More of the same, looks like 7.5 and therefore 8.0 msq will be 13th, void focused. Zero is the main character of the story again. Beast master is a let down, it's basically a gauge/ GCD job unlike Bluemage, not sure why it needs to be a limited job. Lots of merch and not much else.
>See a post on the lodestone about them seeking translators>Get exited>It's for GermanGod damn it I was hoping Kate got fired.
>>737124338This desu, kinda at least. Midgard, Jenova, Sephiroth (shadowbabs don't know Nael was a reference in 1.0 they will reheat these nachos given the chance), Buster Sword, Shinra Corp could still be a hook of an expansion but yeah we already got the lifestream, the weapons, materia, gold saucer, cait sith, etc.
when will our wol get a cute waifu apprentice just like the chad ff11 wotc?
>>737125119Bot post! Bot post!
>>737125129Anon...
>>737125129who are the twins
>>737121839I honestly didn't expect any void for a while since we took care of Golbez and the Four Fiends.It isn't like HW -> ShB where the First was just talked about.
>>737124964Probably Cosmic cause this is a Nero invention, and could be tied to Garlemald's help with it (like the Magitek spider mount). Maybe the Gold Drones.
>>737124982I see nipple
>>737123415It'd be kinda suck if they said "hydaeryn zodiaku gone 5 ascians out there no ronger existeru"But they do need to make whatever Ascian they cram back into the story different enough from the old ones.
>>737125119Why would they be seeking a NA translator when Paul is already the lead?Kate has been MIA for a while now
>>737125284>Probably Cosmic cause this is a Nero invention, and could be tied to Garlemald's help with it (like the Magitek spider mount). Maybe the Gold Drones.holy shit you're right.
>>737118895It has been personal for the mods for the past decade. That's why it's weird that for the past ~year or so, that XIV has been allowed to have a "general" thread on /v/. There's only one schizo who is allowed to make the XIV threads, too. Anyone else gets a 30 day ban for making general threads on /v/. And it's always just shitposting. Instead of completely disallowing a video game they hate, they decided to curate its threads purely with shitposts.
>>737125446Koji is also the one doing the translation for FanFest.

>>737125519WAAAAAAAAHboo hoo nigga accept the facts like you didn't have TWO generals up all day, multiple untouched for weeksone gets culled for literally anything else more related to video games and you pitch a shitfit because you are the eternal victim
I'm pretty sure the 13th isn't going to be the next expansion because it doesn't make sense to give so many obvious hints of it in a trailer of the next patch.Plus we were already in the 13th and expansions are about going to undiscovered places.
>>737125697mmmm no. cope
>>737125575If Kate is still working for CS3, I doubt she will ever be used publicly again.She's become too controversial since she can't shut up about politics online
>>737125709Uh, ho. DAWNTRAIL was about going to an undiscovered place. They fucked up the writing and now they're going back to their safe space world ending threats. Cope, you fucking moron.
>>737125101soDT is noncanon basically?
>>737125749>hire woman>hire a woman out of portland >expect professional ethics from her
>>737125709I don't think it'll be a 13th expansion either. I don't really see any material to focus on for the 13th.My guess is it's gonna be "all reflections are fucked". How that ties into Enuo showing up in 7.5 specifically? Idk. Maybe the shit in Garlean is how we found out we're in a pinch.
>>737124195I think that the VII Remake has proven that Square Enix lost the "break in case of emergency" quality of VII. Just look at Rebirth. It sold so poorly that they still wont say anything about it. Nomura fucked up VII so badly that the break-in-case didn't even work. So not only does XIV already have a bunch of VII stuff in it including the Weapons, but at this point I think shoving more VII into XIV would be a "break in case of emergency" for the VII Remake trilogy, not for XIV.
>shantoto>still no ulti https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nkHp2MYiBOA&pp=ygUJc2hhbnRvdHRvWon't get this kind of banter. The only good thing to come from dissidia nt
>>737123415permanently leaving out the ascians completely after emet's death would've been retarded though, there's no way all of them would be retiring peacefully in some remote farmland just because their leader was dead
Does anyone have a list of those summery cards? I didn't watch the live letter so no clue what were getting.
>>737125697>WAAAAAAAAHI accept your concession.
I like Beastmaster so far. To be fair though I would've liked it only for being able to tame thing and lug it around. Anything else is a bonus for me.I thought the "3 pets at once" thing would turn out to be their way of making BST its own light party, though.
>>737125910Just look at Mr. Happy's summary video and scroll through it if you don't wanna hear him yap about it
>>737125894how would shantoto and Yshotla interact?
>>737125284>>737125498>they didn't make that cosmic exploration motorcycle a mountSurprising.
>>737125910they went over how BST's combat works. to me it looks like it combines elements of dancer and summonerthe first fight in windurst is against Shantotto. dunno if its a copy of her, or the real thingthey added emotes to companion chocobos and they made sightseeing log less esoteric. the dungeon gear storage thing is from 3.0 and beyond, which covers the majority of the gear. packrats rejoice. they also added trusts to dusk vigil and violet shisuiand finally, the ultimate is still in the dark, but somehow Kefka will be involved. the voice line sounds like its for a phase change, similar to the doorboss of O8S
>Zero is back for next expansionThere's no way they're gonna repeat their mistake fron woke mutt with Zero right?
>>737125674This shit got teased back in endwalker, the Fisher and ARM/BSM/GSM questlines both hinted that the planet's aethercurrents were showing signs of being fucked up, and neither was in relation to zodiark dying
>>737126201her being present in the trailer doesn't mean shit. the best guess is that she and golby will be available for the enuo trust
>>737126201Zero was kinda Wuk 0.5 so I don't know if they wanna bring her back fulltime. Nor do I think they wanna make the 13th the focus of a whole expansion.
>>737125082Zenos iirc is supposed to be that nigga from 12 that turned into a Bahamut airship at the end
>>737125519He couldn't purge the threads during EW so he decided he was going to make them fucking miserable to continue being in, hence pet shitposters being allowed to engage in 'sanctioned' faggotry. It's the absolute pettiest kind of revenge. Not even a pretense of caring about the rules, just pure spite. It is a mystery why this fucking manchild is still allowed to mod /v/, his faggotry has been more disruptive and contributes more to the decay of the board than actual shitposters.
>>737126238>the Fisher and ARM/BSM/GSMQuests no one plays, so it wasnt hinted at all
>>737126180>first fight in windurst is against Shantotto. dunno if its a copy of her, or the real thinglol what do you think? a beatable shantotto will always be regarded as a clone of the real one
I fell asleep by the break, so was there anything else announced besides the Primals, or was all the gameplay stuff just in the first half of the live letter today?>>737126201If anything, we'll have a different writer onboard instead of Hiroi, so we'll have that going for us I suppose. She already has some character development, so we might dodge a bullet there.
>>737126326>aethercurrents are fucked up because of the immense amount of dark aspected aether rejoining the lifestream>a biblical revelations style prophecy from a weird construct
>>737126238I honestly thought this was gonna be about Zodiark dying more so than Hydaelyn.They said Hydaelyn's death might cause the reflections to rejoin in 6.4, so if the death of Hydaelyn undid whatever magic was keeping the shards at bay, I expected the death of Zodiark might undo whatever magic fixed the world from being a dead husk.
>>737118895One of the mods is a diehard wowfag, he gets very VERY upset when other mmos are talked about. There isn't a single good mod on this godforsaken site.
>>737126335if the fight ends and she disperses into aether like the other bosses, then its a copy. if the fight ends and it was a mannekin all along, then its the real one
>>737126380Either someone whipped Hiroi into shape or he got tossed aside because neither 7.3 nor 7.4 were anywhere as egregious to me as 7.0 and 7.1. If so, yeah, whoever is writing MSQ stuff might make Zero be more likeable too.
>>737125792calyx is a main character in 7.3/4/5 and 8.0 anon
>>7371265167.4 feels like hiroi's writing still but someone actually edited it
>>737126423>HydaelynThis is stupid cause Hydaelyn would have known that was a threat and told them about it. She wouldnt have suicided herself.
>>737126590Unless her "prove you are worthy" test held more meaning than "you can survive in Ultima Thule and defeat Endsinger."
>>737126590Halmarut refers to the absense of the will of the star. She, as an ascian, wouldn't have referred to Hydaelyn as the will of the star
>>737126180Yes it's a copy, Shantotto isn't that big. Besides it's not the first time a fake giant version of her has been in the game.
>>737126516It's the exact same shit, just without Wuk. People forget Hiroi invented Zero, too.
>>737126238The FSH ones explicitly mention zodiarks dark aether draining back into the source from the moon as the cause, the worlds aether returning to the more active original state
When's the game coming to switch 2I only have switch 2
>>737123783garlenigger lapers seething everyday makes me smile. matsuno is a hack
>>737118905>These faggots will tell you anything to get you to resubThey have a good track record of fulfilling both the written word and the spirit of their promises relative to most other MMOs in my experience, only one better is OSRS
>>737126304>It is a mystery why this fucking manchild is still allowed to mod /v/Yes, but not really. I'm sure it's part of some "culture" bullshit. Vidya Butts' crusade against the mods proves they are capable of doing their job, they just choose not to and instead choose to curate the /v/ we enjoy today, Twitter posts and all.
>>737123783>but what about the ashe is still alive and not 50 years old!!?!?!im so glad matsuno got banished by the jap audience. what a washed up hack.
>>737126304>>737126776you guys need to understand what kind of people choose to be janitors and mods in the first place. none of them are ever going to be reasonable.
>>737126696i mean like a Saheel Ja created copy, or the real Shantotto using a mannekin to fight like the FATE and in Dissidia
>>737123783I think it's a double whammy of them thinking that direction is boring for MSQ and Matsuno on boarding for side content dedicated to the plot thread
>>737126715I didn't want to crush Halmarut, Lumull, Eyaney, Miayli, Sphene, or Krile's skulls in 7.4Can't have been Hiroi's work.
Is this that game where the lead dev is slowly ruining it because he refuses to listen to anyone else?
>>737126847wait a minute
>>737126919Thats tekken
>>737117346>tfw my 1.0 account got permabanned for making fun of trannies and I feel no attachment to my new toon or the game as a whole anymore
>all dungeon gear 3.0 and beyond can be turned into a glamour outfitThank fuck.
>>737125850VII remake sold better than XVIAll this tells us is that FF as a franchise is dead outside of the mmo
>>737126919No that's WoW where Chris "Chris metzen" Metzen and Ion Hazzikostas being on it precludes the game from every really moving forward
>>737126983rip. learn to hide your powerlevel and don't fall for blatant bait
>>737127003>VII remake sold better than XVIWasn't that marginally? Despite there being like 10x the nostalgia for FFVII and it being the fan favorite FF?
>>737126291he's also the giga powerful guinea pig superchild of the evil empire with (multiple) special katana who comes back from death to kill the executive leader of the opposition facing the MC's group while being obsessed with them on a personal levelHe doesn't 100% reflect Sephiroth but Nael isn't a perfect simulacra of him either
>>737127003>VII remake sold better than XVI*Remake* sold better, yes. *Rebirth* did not.
>>737127003XVI pulled in more money because it didn't cost anywhere near as much
>>737127003rebirth sold worse than fuckin octopath 1
>>737127007Whats worse: A game never moving forward or a game that has all identity stripped from it.
>>737127105What's wrong with Octopath?
>>737127105People only wanted a modern update to 7, no? Instead they get this whole contrived plot about time ghosts or whatever.
>>73712700316 committed the sin of being a Game of Thrones knockoff with none of the intrigue or politics of s1-4 GOT while also coming out years after Game of Thrones killed itself with a godawful final season.That and none of the characters were particularly interesting to look at besides Clives rack.Cid dies in act I, and all the 16 women have Whoville noses and pinches faces.
>>737127115The former honestly, WoW was doing exploratory work in finding itself after Sneedolands that Chris and Ion immediately undid
>>737127165the grim reality is that no one truly gives two shits about FF7 anymore. The absolute last stop of 7 nostalgia was cloud in smash 4 which was like 10 years ago
>>737127046VII itself never sold nearly as much as its reputation would suggest30 years and 50 ports and rereleases and it still hasnt sold as many copies as even Witcher 3
>>737127071Wasnt Rebirths budget less than 16s?I remember reading it only cost 80M or something and 16s was around 120M or more.
>>737127003Remake sold like 8 million copies or some shit. It sold well. Rebirth sold so poorly that Square Enix wont say anything about it. They keep giving updates for literally every single game, but never for Rebirth. They give updates for Nier, for Octopath, for the new games like the DQ HD Remakes. Seemingly every game that Square Enix has release, both before and after Rebirth, has gotten a sales update. But they wont say anything at all about Rebirth. By all third party accounts, Rebirth sold fewer copies than XVI, and Rebirth also had over twice the budget that XVI had. So Square Enix already squandered VII's "break in case of emergency" quality, and instead if/when they add more VII shit to XIV, I genuinely think it will be a "break in case of emergency", but for VIIR, to try to get XIV players to buy it since no one else is.
Will Esteinian finally be allowed to join the MSQ?
If you wonder what causes people to derangedly defend this game as if their life depends on it it's because it really does. This game and the "second life" they built around it is all they have. When all the players are gone and there's nobody left to watch them pretend to be a toddler they'll be forced to rope. That day approaches soon.
>>737127370I hope not, he's a lone wolf character and is better when jumping in randomly like the Kain reference that he is
>>737127431I just like the game. :)
>>737119679>"oh so... this is what human feelings are">next patch>"oh so... this is what human feelings are">next patch>"oh so... this is what human feelings are">next patch...Yeah excellent character arc
>>737127479>can't fucking read and understand 1 post>critiques the game's writing
>>737127431I was reading this post nearly word for word ten years ago
>>737127431stay seething
>>737117346My wife Zero is back and I'm glad.
>>737127479I imagine it's a little less bothersome if you can go through it in one go than 4 months between.But 6.3 and 6.4 both felt mostly like filler/padding.Cram 6.3 and 6.4 together into 6.3 and then make 6.4 the Zeromus shit/finale, and it'd flow a bit better.
737127431No one cares what you think fag.
So XVII is going to be another mmoThey will kill XIV to move you to itXI will still keep trucking
>>737127521You'll read it in another 10 years too.
>>737127159Nothing, its just an inherently niche title
>>737127431I just want the mods to treat XIV how they treat WoW, and I don't want XIV threads to be infested with their pet schizo/janny whom they have "hired" to make sure that you can say anything positive about this game. That's all I want.
Will 8.x still get new deep dungeons or will they nix that?I really liked Pilgrim's Traverse.
>>737127651the content cadence for 8.x will be at fanfest. presuming yoshi-p doesn't spend 45 minutes talking about clutter on the ground and lala chins
>>737121190Probably the traditional FF Japanese release date of Christmasish.
>>737127651Unknown but I see no reason they'd nix the idea
>any of your speculation headcanon mattering. Prepare for halibutt to be completely rewritten by 8.0 none of .55 matters unironically
Didn't YoshiP talk about wanting a talent tree in a previous live letter?
>>737127651them backporting the system changes to the other 3 deep dungeons would be far less work and would rejuvenate existing content
So is kefka the only part of the ultimate or are they also adding exdeath to it?Because Kefka alone for a 5 phases fight is kinda lame
>>737127165regular people probably thought it was just an REmake style game where it was 7 with new gameplay, there's probably a smaller subsection of people who genuinely wanted the game with just a graphical update, but if they got tricked into buying remake they probably wouldn't touch rebirth either way7 compilation subhumans are the ones who would've wanted "everything FF7 connected together", and even they all probably didn't want a fucking new overarching plot for the entire subfranchise poorly conveyed through the existence of time jannies and dog stickers
>>737127838you know what why don't you just go and bring up a completely fair point
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riOrSqKzqgMWHEN DO WE GET THIS FUCKING SONG REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FUCK YOUR DUMB CASH SHOP AND LALAFELL POSTING STFU WHERE IS THE FULL SONG I WANT IT AAAAAAAA
>>737127721That's true. I dunno if we'll see that at NA Fanfest, though. I honestly forget what we see at each fanfest. >>737127768They've babbled about wanting to switch things up, and how some things might disappear and how people might see that as getting less content, technically. I think he said relics in their current iteration aren't being added after 7.55, so I dunno what else is possibly off the table.>>737127845That's true, but I also don't think Pilgrim's Traverse system works as well for PoTD and HoH given their structure and style.Definitely EO, though. It has the same basic format except all the QoL improvements PT got and some shitty balancing. If they add the QoL changes to it and fix the balance, it'd make more people engage with it.
>azme relic is fully working nowNext expansion is 100% multiple shard travelingEnjoy the 6 new zones being different shards
>>737127943Cutting room floor like the 16 trailer song that got repurposed for the Levi fight
>>737127862i seriously doubt we're gonna fight just kefka for 18 minutes straight but at the same time i could totally see them doing that the entirety of dancing mad is the length of an ult fight and im not even sure how you'd incorporate dancing mad in a fight that isnt just kefka the whole time
>>737127943At this point? Never.Also, it's a very thinly veiled remix of an existing song used by something else, so I think they can't even add it ingame.>>737128020There's probably some veracity to what you're saying.Honestly, I'm starting to feel they might want to begin adding zones in patches.
>>737127862xivonly...
>>737127598XVII won't be a MMO like XIV but a mostly online game like MonHun. Small lobbies of like 50 people each.Basically XV's online mode but made into a full fledged game
>>737127943https://youtu.be/H-AfGh8gmiQyeah I don't think they can add that to the game.
>>737127943>New TownIt might be for an upcoming or more likely cancelled solution 9 neighbourhood.
dead game
>>737126868I'm with this anon since they were all likable compared to the main DT cast, so I really feel they cycled in a different writer at least for 7.4's scenario.
>>737127651Blindfold or Mericydia every keeps hyping will be the Deep Dungeon
>doomposters are here
>>737126847 ( https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/737117346/#737126847 because he deleted it like a bitch )>whipping his dick out and making a threat because we dare have a thread that's about a game he doesn't likeLol, real fuckin professional.

this top really is one of a kind
>>737128227Hiroi does not know good tender emotional moments. He never could've done 7.4.
so whats the big world ending threat facing us now, i havent played since 7.2 or 7.3
>>737128624nothing yet
>>737128624>so whats the big world ending threat facing us nowHiroi.
>>737128624the world itself
>>737128020If we remove all the exploded ones and the ones we've already been too, there are 3 shards left, the perfect number to give each two zones for a full expansion.But I really fucking hope they don't do that.
>>737128624worlds a-splode
>>737125792Looks that way, also they're adding in a story skip for free.
>>737128695>so bad pissed off the global audience they dont mention teh writers names anymore only as scenario a and b writer LOOOL. Life changing event soon.
>>737128020I am ok with this desu
>Zero is backLmao were so fucked.
>>737128701We might get some first and 13th content again but I don't think they'll use up two of the other remaining shards on 8.0
>>737125792Out of everthing from 7.0 to 7.4, only three things have any importance:>Calyx exists and is stuck in a doll>Krile changed jobs>The WoL picked up an artifact linked to AzemEverything else might as well have not happened.
>>737128956>We're so fuckedThey didn't even give us the courtesy of lube either.
>>737127431The fandom with the biggest victim complex on /v/ basically
>>737128020I feel like that'd happen in the same way Living Memory happened. A new reflection, but not really. Just one zone.And then they could delve into that more in expansions.Unless we finally get patch zones.
>>737128956She might not be that bad in the hands of another writer. No way they're letting Hiroi ever write anything more important than yellow quests after DT.
>>737128956I would take a million Zero's over 1 more second of that fucking tranny cat
>>737128836>also they're adding in a story skip for free.elaborate
>>737129159it was real (in his mind)
>>737129014>is stuck in a dollHe only has himself to blame. He could have chosen any old corpse for halmarut to shove him into.
>>737129113That's how I feel. Without getting into the same nonsense as always, Zero is not yet as poisoned as Wuk is.A good writer could make Zero at least tolerable. But regardless of how she's portrayed, I doubt they'll MC her.
kate status? hiroi status?

>>737129014>Krile changed jobs What?
>>737129265Kate is alive due to constantly retweeting or whatever it is controversial bullshit on bluesky, but not a word anymore about her being with SE and they had that one office tour video with some youtubers a few months back that had a guy named Paul as the localization lead, so she's either moved to another part of the company or some speculate she's in a windowless office in Japan with no real tasks as they're trying to get her to quit out of shame and not realizing that doesn't work for shameless white women such as her.Hiroi is unknown at this time as 7.3 and especially 7.4 were a huge uptick in writing quality compared to anything else he's been credited with, so likely he's doing some writing for 8.0 at the moment if he's still around, but not likely the lead at this point.
>>737129516No clue I don't think he has a twitter account, Kate on the other hand knows all to well people hate her and didn't take it very well.

i didnt watch the liveletter yetdid lalas win?
>kefka ultimatewtf no pandemonium ultimate??
XIVis straying dangerously close to "there must always be a Lich King". Probably gonna have Yshtola replace Hydaelyn and Graha replace Zodiark, but via cooperation and not opposition so everything is kept in balance.
>>737129568>she's in a windowless office in Japan with no real tasks as they're trying to get her to quit out of shame and not realizing that doesn't work for shameless white women such as her.I've heard about this, how apparently in Japan they "shame" you out of the office by not giving you work anymore, and by first thought upon hearing that is how that would NEVER work in America. In fact, pretty much every woman in a FANG tech company has this job already as her main job, and she fucking loves it and posts about how much she loves it all over social media. The Japanese are seriously wired differently if going to work and being given no work is enough to shame them into quitting. That's most westerner's ideal work environment.
graphical update status?
>>737129014I'd warrant knowing that electrope is another chip in the asspull emergency pile is rather important.
>>737129898calyx will be nuzodiark and zero will be nu hydaelyn
>>737130014>magic do everything material>but it only works on the one place we visit and can never ever be used anywhere elseconvenient
>>737129935Yeah, I've heard Japanese complain about trying that on gaijin and it not working since the "message" doesn't get across to them like it would a Japanese worker. Basically talking about the American workers they did it to just mooching a paycheck as a result and staying on the company payroll like it was a paid vacation instead of some great dishonor that they're worthless to the company, but like you said, that's basically the dream job to most people over here, especially if they have internet access and can just shitpost on Facebook or social media all day without fear of supervision or reprimands.Kate probably doing that and figuring she'll try to leverage her whiteness to get on the ethics committee or something to shrink more titties on Tifa and others.

>Preview website for the merch you can buy and how much it'll be has gone up>Not a single piece of Wuk Lamat merchandise at the previews for NA fanfest, not even a single character of Wuk on any of the artwork/ t-shirtsKEKGod...imagine how bad it is that for the American expansion they're not selling a single piece of merch that is represented by an American voice actor, in an American themed expansion, it's all Scions artwork some characters who haven't been in an expansion or more, nothing for Wuk Lamat even though there are a couple of Dawntrail zone artworks and merch of the Corn Servant, Yan no Wuk Jesus Christ. That's fucking funny.
>>737130686The reality is that most relic weapons look bad. There's like 2 good weapons in your image.
>>737130786even with your retarded opinion, that's 2 more than the current batch
>>737130760>American ***South American. And most people did not play with the tranny voice actor (who is an American man, not a South American woman). Most people played with a cute, genki "Naruto" type Japanese girl as the voice actor, and Wuk Lamat is still a bad character.
>>737130321Gyro Takashi? Yeah he changed his character name to Yee Ro after he got outed for blackmailing minor boys into sending him nudes to prove they were "mature enough" to join the hunt train and raiding communities on Primal. Easily one of /vg/'s biggest lolcows.
>>737130686All of these look the same until the final step, current relics BTFO theseZeta still reigns supreme>verification was not requiredFitting
>>737130867Of the current relic line, there is a MNK weapon that looks good, a NIN weapon that looks good, and the PCT weapon looks good. I'm sure other people think other things look good. Plus, all the effects of the current relic lines look better than the HW trash. You just have nostalgia goggles to the point that I think you're not even voicing your own opinion, I think you're shitposting just to shitpost.
>>737130180i honestly think her picking a shitty california voice studio and wuks tranny va was her positioning to get a job later somewhere in california. >*painfully british scions . we need california voice acting and their union!game flops LOL
>>737130951>One ofThere is another.
>>737130686None of those intermediate steps look good and only PLD, DRK, AST, SCH/SMN have good endings.
>>737130924>Anon already forgot the cowboy zoneAnon, it was American as in both North and South.
is bst a .5 release or we dont know yet?
>>737131089what is this schizo retard shityou expect any nigga to actually understand this image? like honestly bro
>>737131279We don't know yet.
>>737131279.5 is really light. my guess is BST will be in .51
>>737130460I stay subbed because I like it and I feel like I get more than 13 euros of value out of it monthly.
>>737131279.55
>>737130951why lie?
>>737128423I got to hand it to XIV, you'll never see that in WoW
>>737130760I will feel complete and utter vindication if the supposed free MSQ skip they had with DT on release (Up to 6.1 or something) instead skips you right to 7.4 or 8.0. It'll be the closest to a dogeza for Dawntrail. Just acting like it does not exist.>>737131358I think there was a timeline saying July. Which is what I expect - june or july ish.
>>737130686Man, bard bows really are shit no matter what.
>>737130460I had been non stop sub since 2.0 release and dont even own a house
Is it a good time to return to the game? Last i played was near Endwalker launch.
>>737131434based
>>737131460You have the entirety of the dawntrail MSQ to enjoy :^)
>>737131425that timeline doesn't have specifics on it
>>737131460as >>737131508 said, I hope you did the MSQ first of DT. It's insufferable.
>>737131406This but>image of Vamp Fatale
>>737131236It was South America. You misspoke because you wanted to seethe about America, and that's okay, but at least own up to it.
>>737131460Honest answer hereIf you want to play content yeahDT is the expasnion with the most amount of content since SBIf you are a story only guy well it tottally depends on your taste
Jollibee has to be the most overrated fried chicken place I've ever tasted. KFC and popeye already has a bad reputation but Jollibee is so fucking overpriced for the bland ass chicken.Church is definitely the best. Final Fantasy XIV.
>>737131460Most of the content is good or ok, though rewards might be lackluster.Story is shit in 7.0 and 7.1 but unlike us you're no longer stuck with it for 4 months at a time and can just go straight on through to 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 and soon 7.5.
>>737131681DT feels very long cause they screwed the pooch with it and yet they continue to try to ignore how bad the expansion was in total. To the point no one wants to play DT or see the location or the npcs ever again.
>>737131508>>737131552>>737131756>>737131681Is the community still asscheeks?
>>737131783always has been
>>737131756Alright, think i will play again after my current sub on another game run out.
>>737131783it never was
>>737131783>the communityLOL
>>737131783>community
>>737131595Are you dumb? How do you not know the Cowboy zone is the Wild West which is North America, even the accents in the English version change from 'latin(x) - generic American'. You are dumb.
>>737130321this is the guy who shows up in every thread ever made about this game? holy shit i wish he would go the fuck away or at least stop avatarfagging
>>737131813I'd like to say Stormsblood was the last barrier. ShB just made XIVfags worse and than WoWfags invaded. Stormsblood, XIVfags mostly kept to themselves but as soon as they got that consolewarfag syndrome holy fucking hell they got retarded pretty quick.
>>737129898If that means we can get rid of Yshtola and Graha, i'm all for it.
>>737131898I will say, 7.0 and 7.1 are garbage more so than 6.x was. 6.x was the meh to 7.0's outright shit.You might have to grit your teeth.And since the characters you are liable to hate in 7.0 stick around in 7.2 and 7.3, that might grate on you. Personally, I didn't hold too hard of a grudge against any of the characters so they didn't bother me as much on principle, but everyone's different.
beastmaster looks like fucking ass these retard devs can't do anything right
>>737131595Anon its literally texas, oil wells and cowboys. Even got some catboy injuns
>>737132000Why do you think this meme exists?
>>737132000This is the kind of thing that will only fuck off if they die/kill themselves, or get put in a mental ward or some other position in which they don't have access to the internet at all
>>737132001XIV has a very dogmatic and circlejerky community.If the false consensus is expansion is good, then you're gonna hate being a person with any sort of criticism. If the false consensus is expansion is bad, then you're gonna hate being a person with any sort of appreciation for the game.You're kind of expect to toe the line, nuance be damned.
>>737131595>Doesn't know that America is literally the term for the geographical North and South continents of America.>The Americas: Composed of two distinct continents: North America and South America, joined by the Isthmus of Panama.>Single Continent Model: In many parts of Latin America and Europe, they are taught as a single continent, "America," divided into subregions.Apologise right now.
>>737129678true true.Dang, on the offchance Necro is nu caster gear I was gonna buy it up asap but it'll probably be two new currencies.Assume bosses in Magic Tower will drop a few coins as well as per CLL.
With the glam restriction removal, how many RPRs have gone full wannabe necromancer/warlock/etc.
>>737132398I went nun because Sister Friede
>>737131705midgardsormr hunt train?
>>737131073It wasn't even that, it's that she actually knew Wuk's VA personally and was trying to get those virture signal points by putting a trans VA in a major role. She didn't even care about the performance since Sena Bryer said in an interview that he'd fuck with the script and insert stuff randomly and Kate was going on about how it was the perfect take and they'll use it, which led to the redubs.Kate is going to likely fall upwards from her SE position, but I don't think she was planning to jump ship like that as she was mostly living in Japan at the time due to the localizer role.
>>737132498based actuallycan i see?
>>737132629I don't have a screenshot and I'm about to go sleep, sorry :(
>>737132763wake your ass up and screenshot now
>>737131783Take one look at this thread and guess.
>8.0 is actually just Patch 6.6+they're going to memory hole this entire expansion lmao
>>737132763Fair enough. It was just a tangent anyway.
>>737131089This; >>737131339. Like fucking explain it to us you retard, not all of us care enough about schizo drama to know what this image even is.
>>737131975>>737132067>>737132291I accept your collective concessions.
>>737133041I'll post it later if there's a thread still up
>>737133102I doubt there will be, and once this one archives, I'll probably fuck off from /v/ for a while again. The threads immediately during/after a live letter tend to be good, and after that they sharply decline in quality again.But I'm sure it's a cool glam, anon.
>>737133031they better. DT is depressingly horrible. EW wasn't very good either beyond the MSQ, to be fair.
>>737132561I'm not even subbed I just saw their promotion. Aether sucks as a data center btw especially midgard. forgot whatever his fucking face is but is that pretentious dickwad still in the mentor channel? you'd know who I'm talking about if you heard him say anything for 5 seconds.
>>737133073>Doesn't know that Texas is North America>Doesn't know that the Wild West was North America>Doesn't know that America is also a geographical name for the combined name of North and South America.You're a dumb, dumb fat dumb.
>>737133190I liked 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 more than 6.3 and 6.4 to be honest.If we're talking 7.0 to 6.0 then yeah I agree.
>>737133475I don't think anyone enjoyed the 6.1-.5 stretch
>>737133572You didn't enjoy multiple msq quests centred on food?
>>737133572I didn't hate it, and I think 6.1 was okay (on its own) and 6.2 wasn't a horrible start per se. But the meat of the void arc was indeed just kinda meh at best.My disdain for Myths of the Realm at the time didn't help.
>>737133475all speen.
>>737133696> dude what if the eorzean gods were just ascian cosplayers instead of manifestations of generations of the eorzean faithful> what if they all wanted to fuck off and die instead if living among the people they swore to watch over> what if every boss was just halfroom cleaves that take 30 seconds to happen instead of anything even mildly complex like ivalice or nierI really don't know what the thought process was unless theyre going to pull a ct and make these mandatory for msq soon.
>>737133985What would them being mandatory actually contribute to anything? You want oschon to become a scion or something?
>>737133985blame console for the fight design
>>737133985>>737133696myths of the realm was such a disappointment, the fights were so fucking braindead
>>737126004that's what I thought too, and I'm disappointed that it's literally just Pokemon
>>737133985I just think Myths is wasted potential: the Alliance Raid.
>>737134090I blame YoshiP.
>>737134051no but since they slammed graha into the scions and forced ct to everyones ar 6 times a week, I figure a plotpoint will eventually bring the Twelve back up.Unless we're just Indiana Jonesing that shit and locking it away in Wols mindvault forever.
>>737133309Wasn't EW delayed because of Elden Ring?
is the ascian and her plush the bad guys from the next expansion or can we expect someone else?
>>737134272no... elden ring and endwalker releases were nowhere near each otherand the two games are completely unrelated things made by different companies?
>>737134272no elden ring came out after ew did it not?No the official excuse was they were finetuning EW to be as perfect as possible but haha there were days where people just couldn't login because of congestion.
>>737134367I don't really feel like Halmarut has to be the bad guy.Unless they go full "HEE HEE HOO HOOOO I AM EVIL I AM EVIL I AM EVIL I WANT EVERYONE TO DIEEEEEEE!!!" out of nowhere with her.
>>737134367Calyx is up-his-own-ass but Halmarut is seemingly benevolent in her intentions.This might the first time we get no notes on the villain until they show up in fanfes trailer.course neither zoraalja nor sphene were in any dt trailer at all much less bakooljaja so we may not know the villain until the lv105 questline or something
>>737134381>>737134386Oh no wait it was Shadow of the erdtree dlc for DT.
>>737134239that too
>>737134367halibutt is whatever. calyx needs to go but has a very popular va actor. >waste our time in 7.3 with geode and calyx killing him>yea im our friend now no kuja fight. its pretty awful.
>>737134538Idk I was expecting Kuja to be The President since he was very theatrical and was a regular at the auction house in ff9.woulda been better than the fight we got for m12.
So what are we hoping for from 8.0?I don't really need or want game-shattering overhauls bordering on A Realm Reborn-Reborn, but there's some stuff I wouldn't mind seeing. Mostly improvements on things that exist, any maybe designing jobs with fewer group buffs.
>>737134943pec slider for highlander/roe/hrothEyebrows for highlanders, ronso horn on all hroth facesS9 color palettes for hair, but thats a givenSplit auri horn/face models so they can mix-and-matchBlue and Bst updates immediately, my opinion on bst has warmed since they showed it off but lv50 cap is still shit.Relics and Exploratory zone dropping in the .1 patch so it doesnt take forever and can actually grow all patch cycles imagine OC if they didnt have to also do Cosmic ExpoNo ideas for Alliance series though if they're gonna do another tie-in I think Crystal Chronicles or Chrono Trigger could be fun.
>>737127989Iirc his specific wording of relics is they can't think of anything new to do with them so they're going to be in line for a massive revampIn line with saying they were effectively killing tomestones but not outright removing the system
What went wrong?BTW if you reply to this, I'm gonna make fun of you for knowing about this, and claiming you're obsessed.
>>737134367the big bad is azem
>>737135274Nobody cares about your youtube drama shit.
>>737119051He can have the dogs out, and I have to wear these hideous sandals?
>>737135357How do you know it's a Youtube drama? Are you obsessed?
>>737135274>I'm going to make fun of you for knowing about this>The thing that I posted, the screencap that I grabbed, if you know what it is then jokes on youYou posted it so I'll make fun of you lil buddy, lil bald buddy, lil no viewer Andy.
>>737135403Because it's a youtube thumbnail.
>>737134367The big bad is The source trying to pull itself back together now that neither hydealyn or zodiark are controlling its aether
>>737135479this plus the original thing that was killing the world itself in ancient times, it wasnt meteion
>>737135231I do honestly see a char customization update inc. YoshiP's been too cheeky about it so far.A lot of those seem pretty reasonable too.>Blue and Bst updates immediately, my opinion on bst has warmed since they showed it off but lv50 cap is still shit.I really hope they give us at least two BLU updates in 8.x (one to make up for the lack in DT, and the other to be the update they would have gotten in 8.x anyway) and hopefully BST gets fast-tracked too. A lot of cool creatures they could make tameable and places for us to go to tame them.>Relics and Exploratory zone dropping in the .1 patch so it doesnt take forever and can actually grow all patch cycles Agreed to be honest. The x.1 patch always feels like it takes the longest because it has so little content.
>>737134943They're already promising stuff I wouldn't have guessed ever like actually holding to wanting more horizontal progression (Enuo is the final trial under the totem system), repurposing tomestones for cosmetics instead of gear, Beastmaster being basically a melee version of the pre-rework Summoner design, and talking about completely changing how they do relic weaponsI'm excited because I dunno what they're gonna do next
>>737128624Everything is dying because the planet cannot support its current state without Hidaelyn or Zodiark. Something like that.
I was so excited by the time of 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5 because Dawntrail was around the corner and there was true hype for the expansion.I just feel nothing for 7.5 and even less for 8.0. I'm off to play Crimson Desert, they better prove to me with the fanfests they are changing the game big time and bringing that excitement back or this is done for me.
>>737128624Killing both of the gods holding the setting together has consequences.
>>737120448Just transfer to Japan and then you can visit OCE. It's fucking retarded that it's still locked
>>737135252>>737135573What do they need to do with relics? Cause it's a grind for grind's sake, which the game does need.
>>737135609mind you there will absolutely no proof the world is under any threat because nothing will happen.Remember in EW when the apocalypse was raining hellfire from the skies and like...a few npcs in Thavnair and Garlemald died...and nothing else? Not one Named character was under any actual threat and the Scions all have Heat-Death-proof plot armor now.
>>737135468
>>737135773stop making them purchasable with tomes
>>737135773>currency received from doing content at endgame:\>currency received from doing content at endgame, but with an active quest:O
>>737135897sorry, this was for you >>737135873
>>737122341You might have autism
>>737135873there was an interview recently where Yoship said they didnt entirely do away with tomestones for relics in DT because they realize most players are getting up there now and have full-time jobs or families so theres internal pushback against over-long grinds.Which makes sense.But they should've just done a Eureka and make you actually do OC to get your relics even if it is just sitting around waiting for CEs to pop.
>>737128624We need to replace the polar yinyang of Hydaelyn and Zodiark with something more balanced or The Interdimensional Rift/Cloud of Darkness will swallow all the worlds as they all gravitate toward it.We need to resummon The Warring Triad or something to balance shit out again
>>737123409and everyone thought he was shit lmao
>>737136028(you) will sustain the flow of aether between Shards with the Deus Ex Machins gummy and you will basedpog when Yshtola says two sentences about the bonds of humanity or some tripe.
>>737136028>>737136138holy kino
>>737136025I don't believe a thing he says about changing the game systems until I see it in game.I remember reading an interview might be the one you're referring to where he was asked about changing dungeons making them shorter or longer with more routes or different things going on other than 2x trash pack wall 2x trash pack boss and repeated. Same with Alliance raids, raids and trials he was asked why don't they change them?His answer was the tomestone grind and the salary man comes home from work has about 30-40minutes to play the game which is in line with a set meal (piece of content) he can chose on the daily roulette and he's done his daily quota. But at the time it was said to him that all you're doing there is rote gameplay, they're doing the same thing day in day out for days, weeks, months, years and then complain when those people hit their limit doing the exact same thing but with a different tin of paint. Like I said I don't believe anything he says anymore, he lied about adding in more rewards and he said that while up on stage and in interviews. So until I see something in game now, his words are meaningless.
the general opinion of the liveletter seems to be trending upwards as more people watch it to completion
>7.5 puts us exactly back to where 6.5 left off minus the embarrassing wukshitSo Dawntrail was just one giant filler episode designed to waste everyone's time and scare off more than half of the playerbase? For what purpose?
>>737136025Relics conceptually work well as optional grinds for people who just want to grind.
>>737136514>lets try something new>oh shit oh shit oh shit its all fucked>quick back to our first idea
>>737136514Got an Arcadion, got another JO crystal, got a queen (TL note: concubine), got to punch Necron.
>>737126919More like he's listening to the wrong people (vocal minorities)
>>737136514kate and hirois playground while yoshi was slacking off.
>>737136514I wish dawntrail was an actual beach filler episode where I spend 2 years fucking yshtola in some aztec shack in the middle of the jungle, chase monsters with estinien, wrestle ghost skleton with thancred then go in the evening to tural bar to try and find a hot femhroth gf for urianger and break watermelons with the twins on the beach before we find a treasure map signed by baldesion and help krile find actual el dorado
>>737136920>city of gold was some robotic simulation all alongIm still mad.
>>737136514>>737136654Yoshi-Pee was really into One Piece and big butch lesbian furry werewolf romance novels at the time...True story.Glad the team finally reined him back in
>>737136514To me it speaks to a waste of 3 years.
>>737136514yoshi p and the real devs were busy fucking off on other things like ff16 and tactics remake so the F team did what they wanted without oversight
>>737130686I just want an option to turn off glowy shit. I like the MCH last weapon without the glow
>>737137109This is the real answer lolYoshi checked the fuck out for years to work on his pet projectsSE management has obviously forced him back to focusing on XIV now that DT lost them half their income
>There is a non zer chance Zero will return
>>737137215Matte weapons?
>>737136312Bear in mind he's also not magic and there exists no easy solution for people addicted to monotony or tradition who say they want different things and then complain it's too different
>>737137238Did you see the trailer?
>>737137273no no, no nuance, no understanding. just give him his updoot and get angry
>>737136312The only Yoshida talk about dungeon I've ever seen was him saying they make them all the same because set template allows for instant development because it’s cheaper to just make background assets and be done with it right away
>>737134090Dumbass

>>737137229>DT lost them half their incomepulling #s out your ass?
>>737137324I meant to say as a Scion but I hit submit too early
>>737137229>DT lost them half their incomeOh no not all the WoW mongoloid money!
>>737134943Removal of 2 minute rotation and give jobs identity again. But that's not gonna happen
>>737137391everything is better when its short and efficient
>>737137273XIV's community sometimes feels like this.
>>737137215They do Matte (VFX-less) versions of the relics at the end of the questline
>>737137430He's one of those fags that plays stock broker with SE finance reports and gets mad they're still in the black.
>>737137465I agree with you. But I think that's partially intertwined with group buffs. You give nearly each job a group buff that they need to overlap, so the timers need to be close together, and this in turn makes design super rigid.
Jollibee Lovely
>>737136025If he cared about players time then he would fix the issue where you're locked out of 90% of shit while queuing for dungeons/trials/raids etc
>>737137523My Dragoon spear is getting replaced... finally..I've been using the Shire Halberd for entire expansions now....
>>737137496It's why a hard lesson for live service games is just don't listen to specific complaints, ride the vibes of the userbase and go off that. Anybody that's worked with playtesters knows absolute dogshit feedback exists and a lot of players are just above the line of mental retardation. Think Half-Life 2 and people getting lost in antlion caves for hours when it has maybe three twists.
>>737137027Didn't they find is fanfiction page or some shit?
>>737137603For me it's Ryunohige now that it's dyeable without the Anemos glow.
>>737137253>>737137523Not for the earlier relics. I also want a dyeable Gae Bolg
>>737137634Also a lot of fundamentally conflicting desires. Sometimes, you gotta pick. You can't always do both. I do feel like if we get "le redesigned jobs", we'll get complaints soon thereafter that people wanna go back to the previous system.
>>737137687>I also want a dyeable Gae Bolgtrvke. gae bolg not being dyeable boggles the mind
>>737137705Yeah for sure, there's a very high chance of that. From the same people that moaned for years about wanting those reworks in the first place, too. Big part of having a spine as a developer is just having a vision for your game and knowing when your players need to be ignored.
>>737137805I won't mind either way so long as I get to do the stuff I want to do with my job. If I lose Geirskogul and Stardiver as a Dragoon, however, I will throw a gigantic pissfit.
>>737137687Too bad gaijin, onry normal dark purple Gae Bolg for undyed Drachen armor and the teal upgrade for the tomestone Wyrm armor. And Unfinished Gae Bolg if your armor's black I guess.
>>737137273>>737137351The nuance here is YoshiP denying any casual content other than what is provided on the duty roulette, and his justification why only strict dungeons that haven't changed at all since Stormblood, trials that haven't changed for as long or longer or Alliance raids that have never changed.You can still provide all of that content but also try something different too.That is the nuance but you don't want to hear that you just want to get angry that people are questioning God YoshiP. You people are so fucking dumb you get the game you deserve.
>>737137762Also doesn't help the Blue one doesn't pair with any other blue in the fucking game
>>737137873if its so terrible then leave the thread :)
>>737137852I'm kinda iffy on the Nidhogg skills myself, hype as getting boss powers from HW is. I can see DRG's own rework entailing nixing the Nidhogg skills past 50 entirely and doing more generic dragon stuff for lore compliance. You're technically drawing off of Estinien for power after HW's conclusion.
>>737137685I'm being kind of an "updated graphics" whore, and I don't think a lot of older spears have updated shaders yet. My glam has upgraded looks aside from the spear, and this is the first spear so far since DT that I've been remotely interested in. The rest are all too over the top, or forks, or something.Hopefully we get a matte version. I'd like it without the glow.
>>737137864I honestly wish I could go back to the unfinished model
>>737136514This is what happens to every live service when the main conflict is wrapped up
>>737137864I think unfinished Gae Bolg didn't get graphically updated yet.
>>737138052Finish Longinus Zeta and you can get an Unfinished replica
Thanks for the mostly cool thread. Almost reminded me of the good ol' times.See you again during FanFest threads in a week.
>>737138020I love when they do sword-staves like that and they simply don't do them very often
>>737138325They resisted the urge to turn it into another fork.I know that took a lot of restraint.
