FFXIV is evolving.Thoughts?
FFXIV: Combat Devolved
EVEEEER COOOOOOOOOOOLDFIGHTING COOOOOOOOOOOLDDONT LOSE WAAAAAAARMTHHHCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD
Rapid-fire generals belong on /vg/.
>>737579678mechanical complexity and combat depth doesn't need RTS style APM.
This whole "copy paste your ilvl" thing is going to destroy the crafted gear market
>only have to earn gear on one job>XIVCombo being built into the game>tomestone system being thrown out and replaced with weekly battlepassesI'm not sure what to make of this.So you get gear on one job and then everything else is purely glamour...Doesn't all this mean that people will play the game even less?
>>737580038>XIV>RTS style apm
>>737580176It was already destroyed by bots, literally nothing is going to change.
>>737580362I like not falling behind if you don't cap one week. I also like the diversification of objectives so you can make progress by doing shit other than roulettes. I'm ambivalent on the new inputs/rotations/whatever this shit is until we can see more of it in action. Jobs are already completely braindead so I doubt the complexity will change in any meaningful way.
>>737580176good
>>737579585doom status?
>>737579678>fewer input>gameplay was already putting you to sleepwhat are they thinking?
PS4 IS FINALLY KILLWOKE LMAO IS KILLKATE FIRED BY KIRYUSHADOWBRINGERS FREE FOR ALL
>>737579585I'm willing to give it another chance since I hated grinding roulettes as the main source of content for a player of my caliber as well as to gear up, so I'm looking forward to the new season pass deal. I'm also interested to see how this armoury update works out, seeing as I like to play multiple jobs but it takes like a month or two to gear a single type up, yet now I can have them all share the highest ilvl I have.Honestly, game looks to be going in a better direction outside of Nintendo jewery with them double dipping on subs, but other than that, the rest is shaping up nicely so far with more reveals that can change things later on.
>>737580176who really cares, crafted gear is only useful until people clear the raids and get better gear it always has the same boring linear progression. they just want to get rid of gear entirely and have it be fashion slots because the game is designed for erotic roleplay and virtual nightclubs like second life, it just happens to have combat minigames and they balance the game around trying to get these people to play it. do you think second life players have time or brain power to keep gearing?
>>737580038>2.5 gcd >"RTS style APM"The only thing keeping XIV's combat interesting was how many buttons you had to push because its slow as shit.
It becomes more like a mobile game. >reduction of buttons>weekly battlepass stuff>you can 'sync' your gear for other jobs (a lot of gacha lets you sync the level of your units to the one you have leveled)I don't think it will be bad, but they honestly and truly are getting rid of all the RP mechanics in the game.
>>737582087The Switch 2 version is almost exclusively for Japs. They buy Switch at a like 5:1 rate compared to Playstation.
>>737579585As long as it contains a large portion of sex pests and future sex offenders of all stripes that would otherwise plague other games, it's fine by me.
>>737579585>Switch 2 versionFinally mods will stop removing these threads and tendies will stop talking about trannies
Dragoon lookin swaggy
Are they finally going to take a real stance on addons or is the game still going to be rife with cheaters and second life coomers?
>Another thread of making stuff up about evolved jobsGet it out of your system while you can I guess
>>737581451They didn't really give enough to doom about? The MSQ trailer was a nothing burger and looks like it is retracing ShB. Everyone with half a braincell could tell that "Job Rework" was synonymous with "Make Jobs more simple(and up the difficulty of the encounters)". As someone who actually likes running dungeons and duties, I am a bit weary that the new battlepass completely kills queue times and forces me to play as healer all the time for reasonable wait times.
>>737582446Astro looking way sluttier than usual
>>737582456If they alienated the second life coomers there wouldn't be anyone left playing the game.
>>737582446DRG, SAM and PLD won bigly
>Steam #s increasing post keynoteso back
>>737582456Their method of 'dealing with addons' is adding things to the game that make addons feel unnecessary.
>Kate is fired>game is getting its budget backThese alone are a major win
>>737582556SAM looks great, somewhere between Tenzin and a Kurosawa ronin. Pretty much an update to that Stormblood crafted gatherer set with the gourd visually
>>737582468Making up what? They confirmed:>Less buttons>simpler to play>somehow not easier tho!>new jobs will only be evolved>evolved will be stronger than reborn They want to phase the current playstyle out, but don't have the stones to make a cold cut, hence the able to choose, despite it not really being a choice if the new system does more damage.
>>737582558so it'll never fix the problem because the problem isn't 'QOL' features that people feel are missing, it's that people are scumfucks and cheat because they can and this game lets them get away with levels of cheating and botting no other online game does with minimal to no chance of being caught
They're gonna show off Evolved-style Jobs in a bit btw.Then we can truly doom or hope.
>>737582617>>Less buttons>simpler to play>somehow not easier tho!Hah the amount of times I've heard this from MMO designers over the last 10+ years only for it to in fact be brainless and less engaging. Its happened to WoW at least twice (right now actually)
>>737582617>simpler to playI don't recall that
They should have just killed PS4 with 8.0, fucking cowards
>>737582745Yea, well what do you call this then?Are you blind?It's XIVCombo built into the system.
They're making "Evolved" mode for the Switch 2 Japs playing on the train
I'm very confused about this new daily into weeklie thingSince this expansion I only subbed two months, and everytime there was a free login, I didn't have a problem gearing myself because on tuesdays you can do the usually Hunts in your server and be capped on tomes for the rest of the week, lilk doing a expert roulette 4 times a week and the last tier of a raid is enough to cap? how much is that? less than a hour?So I don't know how people had problems farming tomes for regular content.
they have cg's for the cats on the evercold sitegiant ice monsters are called "Arcane Colossi of Unknown Providence" as well for some reason
>>737582716
>>737582821Shit on the bottom is way too fucking bloated, not sure how anyone is against this
>>737582926I'm not saying it's bad. I've actually played with XIVCombo for years.
>>737582617Look at VPR and you have your evolved job. Just map your Jobs buttons to that and you more or less have the final result. To sum it up:>60/120 minute burst window and group buffs still there>can be shifted around freely, you will not be punished for not being able to go again after 120 seconds in the fight>maximum one positional every few GCD with minimal DPS loss>able to disengage freely and continue DPS for a limited amount of time>casters will have extended periods of being able to forgo cast timeIdk how they will make healer and tanks with less buttons unless they roll a whole bunch of mitigation/healing cooldowns into one button. Maybe roll the melee and aoe combos into one combo? So it is aoe when in range of several mobs and single target when only at one?
>>737579678Lmfao SE really wants you to buy those msq skipsI can't imagine how playing at low levels is gonna be
>>737579678jesus. this is what I hate most about ffxiv and why I never come back
>>737579585Keep running the geat treadmill loser. Remember FFXI where a level 7 item is still BiS at 75? Horizontal progression > vertical progression
>>737579585>battlepassKEKSTICK A FORK IN IT
Expansion songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNohq2JJMQY
>>737583093*sigh* No, larper, Leaping Boots weren't BiS at 75
>>737582821Î really hope that is just a mockup because the DRG loadout looks fucking barebones. This will make any none savage content feel like playing Sastasha.
>>737582907Too bad these guys aren't a new player race, they're too fucking cute, I wanna be a fat cat
>>737583093They were great for a while but they were not ever bis at level cap.retard
>Extreme raidsProbably going to flop, casualfags will never be raidfags and they should stop trying to convert them
>>737583135I really hope that this shit drops savage level gear. They really made it sound as if they want people to gear up with whatever content they like so... if someone grinds out FATE they can get BiS it'd be so fucking funny.
>>737582907Looks like a popori
>>737582907So they've just entirely given up and stole MHW:I's entire thing, huh?
Dynamis is saved, thanks Yoshida
>>737583135that outfit is really gay looking. japanese really shouldn't be allowed to design anything frilly
>>737579678When we asked to get rid of life surge we didn't ask for you to remove most of the skills you retarded chink.
>>737583207Yup, I'm a casualfag and I'm not watching a ten minute video to learn mechanics and then 1 hour for beating a trial that barely gives anything.
How long until the "Dawntrail was good, actually" revisionism starts?
>>737583240Time to fish for my gear
>>737583250Iceborne added a pouncing spear dive to Insect Glaive and it carried over to Rise and Wilds, they're gucci
>>737583240I bet savage gear will have its own progression path that's levelled by doing EX trials or other harder content as you build up to savage-tier gear
>>737583135>battlepass has 2 lanesSisters... will they try and skim the top for a premium lane of rewards?
>>737583310two years ago
>>737583325You could unironically craft for your HW relic during the crystal sand step
>>737583310It started back when 7.0 first came out, people were trying to defend Wuk Lamat as soon as people started complaining about her, which was day one.
>>737583350Top is for tome gear, bottom is unrelated awards like the item for unlocking alt animations
>>737579585Never played Dawntrail. Is this the last existing shard in the story that we haven’t explored yet?
>>737583378Day one crying about her was mostly concern trolling about Sena in fairness
>>737583350maybe, PSO2 has that but is behind a gaming currency that you are swimming in it.
>>737583310i will say that the dungeon difficulty on dawntrail release was fucking awesomeSo many retards dying and actually making every fight longer than a single party buff. Other than that nah dt suckeddd
>>737583416>concern trollingWas it really concern trolling when Kate managed to "rubber bullet' the entire fucking story in 7.0?
>>737580038you are not a real person that plays this game
>>737579585>expansion is mix between HW and SHB>new raid is Evangelion collabthey really want me back
Is Hiroi still on the writing team?
>>737580176>thing is going to destroy the crafted gear marketcrafted gear sells the absolute most when a tier drops, anything past that is a waste of time. you should be making 99% of your crafted gear money from people buying them to pentameld and raid week 1
>>737583207They said it themself, at maximum 20% of the plaerbase even participates in Savage and they need some way to get them into harder content. Variant Advanced was fine, so continuing that would be great. But it stands and falls with the rewards. Maybe it gives Savage Battle Pass experience, just way less than the actual Savage battles?
>>737579678>we want the 1 button rotation wow audiencegrim...
>>737579585>i sure do love an advertisement for the patch i'm actively playing on my battle pass screen
>>737582821>Converting the combat system to pvp except for the entire 700+ hours Lol and I mean lmao
>>737579678>our game is starting to require a bit of effort to play effectively>SHUT IT DOWN SHUT IT ALL DOWN
>>737580176oh no not the fucking bots
>>737583457Do you need me to pat you on the head and tell you you're valid
>>737580038anon the fastest job is 53apmthis game is for slowpokes and now they making it even worseand if you think they are adding mechanical complexity or depth LOL
>>737583163The idea is presumably that you hit one button and then another relevant one appears over it. It's less "barren" and more all of the actual DRG actions beyond are pretty much automatics chained together by input.
Has any game ever benefited from the introduction of a battle pass?
>>737583135>trooncattiest trooncat battle pose>FFXIII ass uiThis is just a mockup right
>>737583543>are you aware you're playing a paid product?>well, now that we have our attention, you could pay a bit more...
>New jobs only have Evolved modeRebornsissies better get used to the new system fast, you won't make it past 8.5
>>737583532and even then, you might not even be able to sell your crafted stuff for an amount that makes it worth it because week 1 is plagued with botters, not just gathering mats 24/7, pumping out sets 24/7 but also sitting at the retainer bell 24/7 and instaundercutting any price that's lower than theirs within seconds of postingUnless you seriously poopsock or cheat it's honestly not that worth it.
>everyone celebrating the evolved shit which is clearly just pvp rotationI feel completely alienated
>>737583543was fanfest today?
>>737583650I'm going to continue playing war and sailing through all content, thank you
>>737583650not even John FF is playing the new jobs
>>737583650>Rebornsissies better get used to the new system fast, you won't make it past 8.5I mean... them already stating that evolved will be stronger than the old system gives that away instantly. They might as well remove the reborn thing right when 8.0 comes out because it will make no sense to run it.
>>737583706The fact you're still playing FFXIV should clue you in.
>>737583650The mere fact that evolved has higher DPS means you won't be able to use Reborn in Party Finder.
What would you do if Evolved were somehow harder and more fun than Reborn?
I'm still gonna be using Wrathcombo.
>>737583741Really good Reaper costume
>>737583706You can focus more on the fight, anon :3
>>737583695and even even THEN a lot of raid groups just make their own anyways
>>737583543if it's a link to the lodestone where you can read the patch notes that would actually be helpful
>>737583706In turn, hekkin Hector videos get to be 10 minutes longer now since they can cram more mechanics vomit into fights.
>>737583773I choose death
everything on this new system hinges on the developer panel so hopefully it's not some dogshit boring pvp actions
>>737582907>stole felynes from MH
>>737583837but they are making fights easier and easier
>>737583845Wait what are you talking about?Everyone here already knows what it is
>>737583750I'm sure they didn't just outright remove it to not alienate current players. They will 100% remove reborn style by 9.0.
>>737583759inb4 evolved has higher pdps but less rdps
How many times are "Cold" and "Ice" said in the trailer song? Very important.
>>737583882no one here knows what it is because yoshiP and koji fox clearly said on stage it's not some sf6 modern or wow actions
>FF13 inspired UISOVL
>>737583892The evolved DRG mockup doesn't have Battle Litany.
>Evolved mode will just be official XIVCombos but taking over the job design and game balancei dunno how this can fight homogenization since auto-comboing everything together arguably INCREASES homogenization>new jobs are only Evolvedso, everything is Viper now but over half the job actions don't even hotbar, just make a fucking action game input system at that point even if GCDs fuck with things>battle pass with a season per two major patchesplayer retention rates baby, gotta fight for them>level 110ew, what the fuck, did they really just opt for the laziest solution after they said a couple years ago they didn't quite want to just keep raising the level cap>global ilevelfixes part of the problem with having to individually handle ALL jobs for being able to do fuck and all with gearing in general, but it doesn't fix the dogass shit xp grind at all>evangeliondon't have an attachment, people begging for plugsuit ass already, don't expect much from this besides some g-warrior content
>>737583909But the image with less buttons...
>>737579678I really can't understand the retards who think this is bad.
>>737583620disingenuous statementyou're not counting all our simon says running around
>>737583967is an image with less buttons, but surely you will wait until they literally talk about it on the stream in the next 10 minutes before looking at an image and forming an opinion
>>737583909Yoshida said VPR will be a very technical job leading up to DT.
Dev panel soon, right?
I finally got my damn Twitch badges. Took them long enough.
>>737583954Just go back to posting Gposes on Twitter sister.
>>737583950would be cool if we get a revamped UI that fits with itSomething closer to what they initially showed off for ARR, maybe
Dev panel to clarify Evolved mode soon.
>>737583980>I really can't understandWe know, retard, that's why they do it
>>737583954>ew, what the fuck, did they really just opt for the laziest solution after they said a couple years ago they didn't quite want to just keep raising the level capThey discussed it internally for quite some time but ultimately couldn't come up with a solution that was cheap, so they said fuck it.
>>737584010well yes I was being sarcasic
>>737584013>Yoshida said VPR will be a very technical jobtechnically it was and then JP players complained and it got pruned
>>737583135lol may as well play a gacha game instead
Kefka final phase will be a sucker punch Queen's Walksource: it came to me in a dream
>>737580038And if I like jobs like NIN and MCH?
god i really hope this evolved mode isnt shit. i dont have high hopes.
>>737583980Most of them already use the combo plugin and now this gives them less of an edge
>>737581531It's not like jobs, at any point required any kind or thought. It followed a static rotation where each outcome was carefully and methodically calculated. More buttons to press never made it more fun
>>737584032Its in the Warrior of Darkness timeline
>>737584067yeah man we should play zzz with the most boring combat imaginable, or genshin where you walk around collecting boxes, or how about nikke where you um click on circles?
Will my Mudras survive evolved mode?
>>737584091They're demonstrating on white mage, so there won't be anything to gauge because all they do is press Glare
>>737583954>did they really just opt for the laziest solution after they said a couple years ago they didn't quite want to just keep raising the level capIf this expansion doesn't flop like DT they'll likely make 8.0 the new start point, do a level squash in 9.0 and leave the rest as legacy content you visit as memories or something, like it was done in WoW.
best job is red mage if they make it so every job is red mage (Like reaper) then i'd be happy
The cute shy JP translator is up there instead of Kate. The world truly is healing
HAPPENING
>>737583706I've seen nobody celebrate. Everyone I know is concerned it might be shit, but we don't know enough right now.
Dev panel is live, they are gonna show the Evolved mode
>>737584047You gonna cry because jobs are actually Final Fantasy jobs and not sterile tranny button mashers? Watch your tone when you speak to me, balancetroon.
>>737584109Shut the fuck up please.
>>737584124>the most boring combat imaginable, where you walk around collecting boxes, or where you um click on circles?sounds like FF14 to me
>>737584139Wait they're only showing whm? Not drg like all their slides showed?
>>737584052>kiryu ceo san give us more money>o-o-okay yoshida san don't nerf blm again>in due time, now let me cut this budget so i can put money towards more food porn and y'shtola feet
>>737584125No, but you will get Shadowfang back.>>737584150This anon blew in from 5.0 town, he hasn't played RDM since 5.0
>tfw no aimi wifelife is pain
>>737584139kek. they're doing other jobs too though. pld, drg, and something else im forgetting.
>>737584139Or they're gonna show whm because it's the most complaint worthy job and e-whm will be able to take cleric stance
>>737584179t. limsamite
>>737584184>properly modeled feetThey can cut out whatever they want if they give us that.
>>737583995why would I not count the fights?I do them week 1 and they all resolve extremely slowly with very few variations.This game is extremely slow in general and it has no depth or complexity.They don't even do damage checks anymore because they're afraid.All of the difficulty now comes from grinding lengthy fights and avoiding single mistake cascading into a wipe or outright body checks.
>shoob for free trial on tuesdayFREE TRIAL BROS.......WE FUCKING WON..........
This guy was in charge of the PvP rework so I have high hopes for the new job action system
Damn, all these people from the future ITT.
>>737584220Bard as well.
>>737584235>implying I am still subbed to this shit gamekek
>>737580176untrue, the benefit of crafted gear is pentamelding, and you won't be able to pentameld when you're reflecting your ilvl
>>737584270tbdesu at that point they might as well show a caster dps as well.
>>737584260high expectations, the pvp rework made it fun and playable, even with the huge desync and lag
the amount of people who don't play the game yet obsess over every new piece of information regarding it just so they can come into these threads and make people feel bad for playing it is pretty crazy
I came from the future to regretfully inform >>737584261 died of AIDS
>>737584239Just use mods retard.
>>737584279yet here you are
erm you can't just call americans vegetables...

HOLY SHITDID ANYONE CATCH THAT KOJI FACE WITH HIS TONGUE JUST NOW???SOMEONE SCREEN THAT WAS HILARIOUS HAHAHAHAHA
>>737584260I dont get why everyone dickrides the pvp changes so much. They have like 10% more flavor compared to the pve gameplay but you have such a small kit to work with
Oh this is going splendidly already
>>737584321It really is insane how many people who don't and maybe have never played this game are hate obsessed with XIV and/or Yoshida. (or how dedicated the small handful of schizos are)
P C IS DOWN
Very high production value for your hundreds of dollars to see this live.
JEET ENIX
Looks like it'll probably be better than Dawntrail, but the shit I flushed this afternoon was also better than Dawntrail so that's not exactly a ringing endorsement.
>>737584363hopefully that means bozja blast will be alive content again and I can go finish it because I was lazy in SHB
>>737584321That describes 80% of threads on /v/

>QA so shit even the fanfest needs emergency maintenance
>>737584463Tony strikes again.
if it's a mix of both pvp actions and the old more mmo'y system then i will be happen
>>737584463WILD DOG
>>737584394No, they have like 10 more flavor points out of 100, which is not a lot but the PvE jobs only have 1 point each so it's proportionately a huge step up

>>737584569I dont even care about Eva but at least the glams wont be XI boomerslop trash
>>737584672The price botting is more of an issue imo
Hello, i was in the other thread asking about how this new stuff might affect black mage since i recently started playing and was curious, it seems like you guys got more info so I wanted to ask how much is it gonna change things? I've mostly gotten used to switching between fire and ice and upkeeping my thunder DOT, is the update gonna be making things easier or harder? I recently hit level 50 BTW so im very excited that I finally have flare :D
>>737584625>"dont you understand this fucks the entire mmo model, games like WoW are FUCKED".But wow you make multiple characters anyways and get weekly gear on them. XIV has this problem because you only get 1 week worth of gear for your character, where wow you get 1 week of gear for each character.
>>737584691bro they didnt even kill Tony (/v/ lied to me) and you think they'd do that to their golden boy?he'll be the silent writer of this next expansion, and when everyone starts praising it they'll all be ashamed of their words and deeds when the writer is revealed in the credits
>>737584729don't worry theyre gonna show those pog autocombo that plays the game for you and they will all clap
>>737584709Yeah it's pretty obvious there's a timeskip of some sort>you arrive on the shard to help it>but the old lady is telling a story as if it was legend
>>737584705Evangelion has official crossed over with many japanese franchises

>>737584746>it seems like you guys got more infoNo one has more info, we're getting it from the currently airing dev panel.
>>737584765WHY YOU ON YOUR KNEES BITCH?PRAYING TO GODS YOU'LL NEVER SEE???
>ff11 brobased
That's not the real Tony, you fools. It's a copy just like SFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
>>737584804He's a Japanese game journo not a western journo.
I don't care about your fucking life
I'm american and I still don't know why americans clap and cheer for stuff like that
pleasedon'tbeshitpleasedon'tbeshitpleasedon'tbeshitEveryone is dooming about simplification but you could remove half of WHM's heals, add a Cleric Stance toggle and it would be a far more complex job to play despite having fewer buttons.
>They took a journo to make the combat systemHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>737584765holy CUTE lizard
>>737584804Kojima and Miyazaki had no experience when they entered the industry. Sometimes you need a guy with fresh ideas and the means to see them through more than "I went to tokyo college and studied the art of Dragon Quest X menus"
wtf giving the manager a firm handshake still works in japan???
this is the 4th time there's been some mystery woman attached to an expansion and she'll probably die too
I love how pressed this has the wowtrannies, lol enjoy your June pride even darkspear.
>>737584858>Cleric Stance lolnever ever
>>737584663jeetdos still updating please look forward to it

PRO GAYMER
>>737584569Not me, and I refuse to come back to the game because of it.Lazy ass fucking bullshit. Can't be fucked to expand on your own game's universe? Just involve every other fictional work's universe instead!The team's creative peak was hit with EW, and the game should have just ended there. The game is on a creative life support now, relying on other IPs to prop it up.

>>737584737What really sucks is that we legitimately have all of the best XI glams in XIV already. The reason the newest XI raid glams suck so much is because there's nothing else that's good in XI unless you want to start giving XIV the end game gear glams, which would make the XI players butthurt because it actually takes a long time to get them in XI.
just sold my shares in MSFT
>obvious fabricated story while they "feign" that the PC doesn't work because the battle system is not ready to be shown yet
>>737585184I thought Tony left? Did they re-hire him?
>>737585237proof?
Catching up on the news.So we're now the Ascians.2 new jobs. Which 2 Scions are changing jobs. I'm picking Horry Boulder to graduate to the A-Team and be dual shields and Alisaie to be ranged DPS the cash shop could use new Alisaie or Y'Shtola glam to sell but Shtola is "blind" so Alisaie gets the changeFinally as a no life daily player I don't know how to feel about progression changes.
Is the new expansion finally going to back to being grounded medieval sword/shield/sorcery fantasy or is it still quasi futuristic scifi slop? I stopped playing when added fucking spaceships.

>>737585661Yea, they are adding Shadowbringers to the Free trialSo you can play the base game and 3 expansions all free
>>737585676>most dead game mode in the gameAre you genuinely retarded? CC is one of the only things that has instant pops throughout the entire expansion.
>>737585661Yeah, half of the game is free anyways
>>737585661>so would be this a good time to start this one?The free trial is the most generous free trial of anything of all time and soon they're added the best MSQ (story) to the free trial, so if you play now then by the time you get to it, it will probably be there
This tranny crowd doesn't appreciate this guy enough
>>737585676every single job in the game plays better in CC than it does in pve and I don't like pvp

>>737585585>made the latest PVP systemTHANK YOU, PRIME-SAN! The best gameplay content update XIV got for years.
>>737585840But it's fun.
>>737580176Oh no, a market that is literally only alive for about 3 hours after a raid patch drops (aka way too early for half of the world to even be active for) is further dead.How terrible.>>737585840Nope.
>>737585840>dancer>shitniggas that do not actually participate in battle content need to be hung and banned from the game
>>737585585Did they actually promote someone competent for once?
Why does anyone care about relic gear anymore? you can wear the armor on any other job now.
>highlight the characteristics of each JobWHAT DOES IT MEAAAAAAAAAAAAN
>>737585770ul'dah is politically relevant for the longest amount of time. Warrior is the canon job for ARR
>>737585849man i miss the DRK blenderi should play again if i ever get around to resubbing
>>737585746gw2 doesn't have ilvl treadmill. FF's system will still have seasonal gearing you just have to do it once a season instead of multiple times per job

>>737585770limsa so u can switch to ninja at level 10it's the most fun melee job at early levels

>>737584104>required any kind or thoughtit's about having entertaining rotation then again who am I to talk, only on playing MNK doesn't bore me to hell
>>737585892>niggas that do not actually participate in battle contentLike DNC kek
>>737585770unironically the starting town stuff only matters for the first 15 levels and takes like 2 hours to do, you can just make other characters for the ones you didn't start with
YOSHIDA IS CALLING YOU TRANNIES OUT AHAHHAHAHA
The reaction is literally the opposite of Hiroi's dev panel kek
I like how hard they're pretending that reborn mode isn't just a placeholder to be phased out by 9.0.
YoshiP reads my shitposts? Wtf.
>Yoshi already defensive about evolved modelol
>>737585957nah the bard job quests were apex kino
EXPLANI MORE IN DETAIL HOLY FUUUCKKKKK
Why are WoWfags so upset about fanfest?
>making it comfy for casualsI'm out.
Focussing on identity is good. I don't really mind less button bloat, but I can see people calling it ez mode and casualisation if they don't explain it properly.
I think his company history has tipped me over into resubbing. but god that means facing the rest of dawntrail. this is my last bit of benefit of the doubt.
>>737586041because gear doesnt matter and now they realize they are being scammed.
>>737585993that doesnt make sense she would have synced with the others and she would have merged into the giant meteion and started humping planets
>it is not easierOkay, show it then. Show me how "Makting things more comfortable for people who don't play much" doesn't make it easier? I legitimately don't understand it.
But DRG is already a job for casuals!>t. DRG main
>30 minutes of delay>pointless PR backstory>same slides as the previous panel>literally no new info
I'm tired of them chasing the "I dont have time to play video games" crowd
>>737585770play lancer, trust me
>>737586062Just click all of the dialogue as fast as you can with your eyes closed
>>737586041Because their news was them getting an official pride event in june called darkspear.
fuck I dropped at 7.1 cause that shit buffalo quest drained any remaining interest in the game, and I have been waiting for 7.55 to resub. Mite do it early thoughWith these changes to PF and DF, should I just stay on Dynamis or move back to Aether?
>>737586041Sentiment was going downSo today they are trying really hard to keep sentiment from going up
>>737585502>Complaining about mudrasMudra jank is what gives NIN the most soul
>>737586012hi yoshi p i know u're here
>>737586097Dad gamers come for everything, there's no escaping it.
>>737585245There is no armor model that takes a “long time” to get in XI these days, the fuck are you on?
I wonder if they'll tweak the amount of time needed to actually level jobs now that theyre making gear not matter nearly as much
>>737586097i dont know why every single dev on the planet does this, these people do not play or spend money on games
holy fuck just show us how it's going to play already
>>737586121presumably you went to dynamis because of connection issues so why would you want to change that
>>737586121>With these changes to PF and DF, should I just stay on Dynamis or move back to Aether?Literally doesn't matter for anything except stuff like Hunts or Maps or world-specific things like that. If you want a house, Dynamis will be easier. If you want to hang out in game with friends, go to where they are.
>>737586097It's either that crowd or the "I have too much money to play video games" crowd.
I just realized evolved mode is probably going to absolutely destroy deep dungeons.
>>737585502Holy fuck, shittiest take 2026, Mudras are pure SOVL
>>737585372I wanted to be a hater, but damn. He's pretty good.
>>737585372>A fucking game journalist made all my favorite jobsI'm so conflicted right now
>>737586121Dynamis get a FC house to run subs for free money. What I'm doing.
>>737586169because that survey came out and it said the average Final Fantasy fan was in his 40s. people in their 40s have little time and a lot more disposable income than people in their 20s
>>737586169Because they all think their game is going to be the one that gets those people to actually open their wallet.
>>737585770If you want to keep your account as a trial account, you need to make sure to never buy anything (like starter edition, complete edition, or any of the expansions). As soon as you do, your account permanently leaves its trial status and it is irreversible.
>>737586069>and started humping planetslol
>>737586072I mean, if there's enough variation for a low skill floor/high skill ceiling kind of thing I could see it working out.
>>737586221Not just a game journalist. A league of legends player too.
>>737586221Japanese games journalist from the 2010s*
>Everyone is just ok with having a FULL SCREEN character window now
>>737586196dad games do not venture out and buy games, they play the same games they played 20 years ago. so unless you already have them you are not gonna get them as a market.
Ahhhh show it already I'm gooning
>>737584256Wait ShB is going to be free tuesday?
>>737586209NIN was completely unplayable if you had more than 2 digits of ping
>>737585770Limsa is the biggest player hub but Ul'dah has the most story relevance so pick which matters more to you. Gridania is pointless.
>"It's not simplified">It's simplified
>cover is goneSOULLESS FUCKING BULLSHIT
I'm swapping to controller.
>>737586069Not with this ojisan's special power and dynamis-rich cream
>>737586041we are winning while they getting raped by trannies in june
>those paladin actionsYep, it's XIVCombos.
>>737582446Will the day ever come when SAM get an actual SAM armor? I'm so sick of this pussyfooting around of SE with SAm armor always being robes with a nonsensical armor piece on the shoulder or one leg or whateverother than genta armor which is actually tank armor
>Holy Spirit doesn't have a mana cost.?????
>>737586231the age of people do not imply their free time or availability to dedicate said free time to a hobby. the mythical father of 1000 that only has 1 attosecond of time to play video games every third blue moon is barely real and the ones that exist only play classic wow. they do not buy shit
>>737586319Shield bash is gone too, maybe evolved mode will suck ass in deep dungeons.
Buffs are gone
so it is simplified
>making it comfier for people with less time to play>fewer skills>not casualizing the game
>>737586323kb + mouse still superior
The way theu do the free trial for this game you could basically play the entire thing for free if you dont mind being like five years behind
>>737586319
>make every job play the same as gunbreaker with contiunation this is supposed to bring out the job identities more btw
>>737585602I was there. No one said that. Even I sank in my chair.
>>737586323game was literally made for controller
>We swear it's not easy mode>They show it>It's easy mode
>One button rotations>cheers
You can't convince me it wasn't made especially for console tards
pvpchads won bigly
This is fucking pointless! They are literally just making the pvpcombo system for pve. What a waste of a "announcement"
>>737586319Cover is attached to the dash in PvP so maybe it's the same here? Right? RIGHT?
Does pressing 1-1-1 take less skill than 1-2-3?
>>737583310That was 7.4, just ignore the story up to 7.3
>No more 3 buttons spent for a fucking filler combo
>>737586181I went to Kraken when it opened cause the chill FC that is now dead all moved there as we bought houses around each other. I had a house and let it auto demo cause i didn't give a shit.>>737586227>implying i didn't spend all of my gil on gilsink mounts in a last ditch effort to get reinstered in the game
I'm so glad I quit during Endwalker holy fuck this game keeps becoming dumber.
>>737586408>fallacyOh look a disingenuous retard.
pft yeah this fucking sucks
>>737586409Now we know it was.
>>737586273Sir, does that look like a dad game I posted?
>>737586420It does, yes. You can't fuck up 111, you somehow might fuck up 123.
it is rly funny that gw2 being a much smaller game established so many of the modern mmo stuff that wow and now xiv are implementing to make the game more accessible. It had the best transmog system over a decade ago, it setup it's seasonal reward battlepass thing 4 years ago, legendary armory or max level gear shared amongst alts 5 years ago, it released with a far more fleshed out open world content system it sounds like xiv will be trying to flesh out similarly in evercold and wow started doing the past few expansions.Listening tot he dev panel now the 16 buttons for Evolved content is even comparable to gw2. The auto-attack chain for various class's weaponsa re chained abilites like ffxiv's action combos.
They should show the BLM evolved actions
Yeah it's shit, they fucked up jobs even more. I'm out
I already do this with plugins
>>737586420Less chance to break your combo for the fat fingered ones
>>737586408>pressing 1 3 times is somehow less complicated than 1,2,3it's just tedious
its literally easy mode KEK
>>737586408
>>737586461this. wtf does this even change for me?
>>737586420Not in any manner that actually matters.
>>737586120>>737586325I still think it's hilarious that WoW continues to prove that it is the gay trans furry game
>>737586319>actually soulful skill that lets me carry my healer if they fuck up>actually requires skill, anticipation and reaction on my part to useWhy? It is a fun skill, it is flavorful and it is helpful...
>Recast time is shorter>Potency is stronger.Huh
REDUCED RECAST TIMES
>>737586420That’s not the problem the problem is they aren’t using the extra space to add something new or unique. This is actually the worst thing they could have possibly done jesus fuck
>>737586335They got one like 2 Heavensturn events ago
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA EVERYONE IS SUMMONER
>>737586335>he doesn't have the heavensturn armor
I'm busy. the fuck is this evolved mode shit? Is it forced onto us? It looks like you have les abilities so wouldn't it be worse by default?
>>737586323>2 charge provokeYes more boss dancing when the retards fight for mt in alliance raids
>>737586335bro your heavensturn event? Stormblood gear?
>>737586496It's more WoW based
pvp fags wanted this only for them to never engage with battle content
So they have to add abilities to healers because they already use far less than 16 buttons for general gameplay.
>>737586508Thats what new levels and expansions are for anon
It's literally Street Fighter 6 Modern mixed with PvP/Viper Combos. It's even buffing certain skills to compensate what you can't press anymore.
>NOOOOOOOO how dare they consolidate my fillter combo into one button, it's easy nowThis thread's full of retards
>>737586420Yes. It's like that knife game where you stab the table through your hands. Bouncing back to the same place is easier than bouncing to a rotating target even if it is predictable.
>>737586529Yeah but abilities have more potency and faster cooldowns so it’s objectively better
Niggas dooming about this shit when 90 percent of you fags already do this with plugins anyway
I don't play PLD so I don't know what's happening
>evolved modewhere
>>737585372Giga based
what is reborn modewhat is evolved modewhat do they mean?Solo PvE and Party PvE?
For Justice!
>>737586408Fuck off retard. Having 3 different buttons that just follow a basic ass chain is not skillful.>>737586409It's not. Controller had no issues with current layouts if you took the time to actually set up crossbars and shit.
that's kinda cool
They saw WoW's one button rotation and put that in their game with a different twist.
>>737586558I mean, imagine how boring Ninja will be lmao.
>>737586529You can choose to play in Reborn or Evolved for the older classes.All new classes will only be Evolved.
Ok but why the fuck is Continuation there?
>buttons literally evolve depending on who you targetokay, im listening
>>737586590They meant devolved mode.
Well that makes sense, Clemency was a useless extra button, and now we can use it more often if needed
this shit is grim
>>737586319SHUT THE FUCK UP AND KNEEL YOU RETARD
>bash and cover are inbased
But Holy Spirit already heals me...
>>737586579It's just WoWfags dooming because we're winning too hard and their game is officially homosexual now.
>said Evolved would have different playstyle>it's literally the exact same but they found ways to make buttons dynamicGrim...they had me interested for a second.
So this is definitely just button trimming, but "not quite 1 button" like wow doesthere's a distinct difference, but this is still simplyifing the rotationthere, I saved you having to listen to the rest
>>737585679I will rape meteor
>>737586539>it’s fine that you only press 7 buttons now instead of 20 because in 6 years you might hit 20 again I wanted the jobs to be more unique. Nothing about this system suggests they’ve made the jobs more unique in terms of function. It’s just more braindead than it already was
>action changing depending on targetGood luck if your ping is above 70
>>737586625That's actually not as bad as I was expecting.
>>737586624Hey, don't knock Clemency. I've had to be an impromptu healer in a raid before and managed to save a fight at the last 10% with a DRG and MNK doing the rest of the legwork.
>>737586597its 2 play style toggle options. I guess the best way tot hink about it is they are 2 different "specs" since it seems to be not just a simple toggle, there are potency differences b/w mode
>>7375864201-2-3 is more engaging for your brain, as simple as it seems
This is just button consolidation, there is absolutely nothing negative about this.
>>737586667Actually smart
>>737586625Yeah, this is good
>>737586601Bau Bau
ok so dynamic buttons with button reduction, got itliteral nothingburger changesmy only concern is >>737586656which is the only real thing that matters
Seems legit
>>737586420If they add more when they take away, 123 it would be fine
why is every game doing this now
>>737586579That's the reason why they are, because their faggot plugins no longer give them an advantage
XIVKEKS REALLY THOUGHT THEIR GAME WAS FIXED
>>737586420Even if it's simple, it adds to your mental stack while you're trying to execute complicated mechanics.
>DRK will be literally one button for 90 percent of GCDslmao
So literally nothing changes and jobs are still homogenized bullshit?
>>737586539unless this new expansion is adding 1873781631 new skills to compensate, which they aren't because they made the retarded decision not to just nuke the old system. then it's the worst of both worlds.
>>737586721It's basically trying to get all casuals in on everything to sell more than ever
>>737586656>retardThis sort of thing is handled client side.
its over
>>737586602>Having 3 different buttons that just follow a basic ass chain is not skillful.Why changes then?
>>737586625>With the new evolved mode combat system we didn't see the purpose of removing phsyick so now if you target an enemy it will be ruin and if you target an ally it will become phsysick. There will be no additional changes to Summoner this expansion. Please look forward to it.
>>737586721companies chasing the broad audience as usual.
>>737586625Thank fuck this is what they meant.Anyways see you niggers in F2P ShB. I even have eureka relic weapons to level up with lmao.
>>737586721Gacha brainrot.
>>737586746Yep! You’re not getting another rework beyond this.
>>737586721companies think they can convert retards instead of just catering to already made fans
>>737586667Actually dumb
>>737586721the denominator is constantly lowering
>>737586721because Gen Z is literally retarded. Adding ipads to schools has made them the dumbest generation in history.
>>737586746>h-h-homogenized!Absolute fucking retard.
Wait Paladin is going to have 2 gauges in Evolved?
>>737586746No, they're giving you examples. They haven't shown the new builds and actions yet. But they keep saying job identity is a focus.
no mana?
>>737586724>turning 1-2-3 into 1-1-1 gives you an "advantage"How retarded do you have to be that someone using XIVCombo gives them an advantage over you?
>>737586834Contextual skills is a huge tech uplift for healers. This is objectively good shit
So it rolls buttons into one, thats pretty good.
>>737586790SMN and SCH unironically need some of the job split jank removed once and for all.
>it's not gonna be like Casual mode from SF6>it's like Casual mode from SF6Bruh...
>>737586842Speak up you stuttering retard
>>737586843THIS SCREENS SHOWS CONTENT UNDER DEVELOPMENT. THE CONTENT AND SPECIFICATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE
>>737586834How? If you dont like the new system overall fine but there is literally nothing wrong with this particular change.
>yoshida uses that gimmick ass button macro device
The difficulty of the fight should never be about what buttons you press but the actual fight itself.
>>737586916it should be both
fix scholar nigga
>>737586881>he thought this was witty enough to postEmbarrassing.
>>737586916>but the actual fight itself.Im tired of XIV DDR raids. Shut up
>>737586420No, it changes literally nothing.>>737586778Because it leaves room for future growth and more cool tools.
They didn't explain the removal of offensive CDs, did they just roll potency into skills?
>>737579585I can barely hear what the bitch is saying in the trailer.>>737579678I can't fathom why they are doing this unless our GCD is getting halved.>>737583135Honestly, ok. You shitters don't do old content hopefully this steers you into doing it like a permanent Mogtome event>>737583412This is my first thread today and I'm confused. If this is the "Ice Shard" shouldn't it have been rejoined? Unless there's time travel shit. Regardless, for non-rejoined shards, we haven't been to the 11th, or the 8th. A look at the wiki says this expac is supposed to be the 4th, but it was the 6th that was rejoined with an Ice Calamity.>>737583515>Sci-fi fag>EvaHe probably pushed them to do an Eva collab along with the autist on the raid dev team that loves mecha>>737583642Yeah actually. Immensely for the devs and it adds insane fomo for the players that give a shit. The ones that don't give a shit can make believe it's not there and carry on as they were.
Oh I just realized there's basically no OGCds.
>>737586860I could see something like Glare and Cure II being on the same button.
>>737586938what if they made fights not timeline gay ass shit? They should make them more reactive like lost ark
>>737586916the game is over 10 years oldyou have invalidated 90% of the content in the game and your playerbase will piss and cry about having nothing to do
so... it's fucking nothing
>>737586529Combos are consolidated into 1 button/Icon.So instead of pressing 1-2-3, you just press 1-1-1 and the ability will auto change for each step of the combo.Extended Combos 4-5 or 6-7 will have their own buttons.So your inputs will now be 1-1-1, 2-2, 1-1-1, 3-3 then 4 and 5 for procs or w/e
>>737586929I mean the way rotations work now, it's not really much to say. You do the rotations right and keep up with the DPS check, or you do them wrong or slightly off and everybody dies. There's not really a skill ceiling or floor, just a rhythm in the middle of all the dodging.and mechanics.
it's just pvp hotbar?
>>737586986or like WoW
>>737586964that's basically what DT became
>>737586916>t. someone who has never set foot in actual hard contentit should be both, otherwise you get endwalker fight design where every single mechanic is one that wipes the entire group when 1 person dies and thats boring as FUCK.
>Evolved Paladin gets PARRY ATTACKSWAIT A MINUTE.
>>737586916>fucking retardDifficulty in most games comes down to your mastery of your character and your mastery of the fight. Both are important and you don't want to lean too far into either one otherwise you get boring gameplay or target dummy enemies.
COUNTER
>>737586932Barrier healers will be the biggest casualties of this. WHM would be really easy to consolidate since it doesn't have much going on begin with.At least we might get bane back with an enemy targetted deployed like in PvP.
just guard bros?
neat
If they give every DPS a Third Eye that will be pretty cool
>parryslopFF14 is dead
YO
>>737586957Ya, if True North is gone are they finally kill la killing all the specific positionals? Or will the positionals just be there but no true north lmao
Wait that's kinda awesome.
Wait, having to actually block and counter is cool.>perfect parries tooWAIT THIS IS ACTUALLY FUCKING KINO. TANKING IS SAVED.
>>737587010it's just based
>Perfect parrying
>they're giving PLD Third EyeLMAOOOOOOO
rebornCHUDS died
>>737587038>>737587040Didn't one of the leaks mention the new tank having something like this
Welp now tanks have to pay attention to enemy attacks
OH MY GOD WE'RE FUCKED LOW PING BROS
XVI EVENT WAS LITERALLY JUST NEW COMBAT TESTING BED
Shield lob was shield bash when in melee rangeextremely BASED
PARRY IT
>parrycrap in a game with the worst netcode everYep, awesome.
PARRYCHADS KEEP ON WINNING
So the buttons also change depending on what happens in the fight like, parrying for Tanks. Wonder if they also add things to healing like that.
>>737586916i want to have fun playing my job everywhere not just in raids. Doesn't need to be "difficutlt" but there needs to be some level of engagement
>>737586943>more cool toolslol
>Every tank is gonna kill themselves trying to greed perfect parries
>>737587087>>737587080the tick rate of the game is 3HZ
shield swipe+
>>737587117That timing looked super generous
>>737587127>tfw this mother fucker is actually rightThis game's bottom of the barrel netcode / systemcode would need a full overhaul for this to suck less.
oh ok now i'm interested
PVPGODSI KNEEL
>>737587141It will be a 3s window like third eye and rpr barrier
COVER IS STILL IN COVER IS STILL IN
>Dash and cover a teammate
This looks kino.
>people trying to doom them actually adding something new to the game for onceFuck off
>>737587178Upgrade from dial up, unc.
>>737587141its fucking tankbusters with casting bars you fucking wow tranny
>new cover only lasts a few seconds and the PLD has to jump into the AoE as wellEh... downgrade
>>737586319>>737586356cover and shield bash still in
>>737587128No that's horrible, sometimes you need to lob shit that's closer.
>Shield Bash and Shield Lob rolling into one action depending on distance to enemyTECHNOLOGY
>Counters>Fucking timed counters at thatFucking lol. This really is becoming an action game.
This is pretty cool. I don't see any aoe though?
>PLD gets...TBNAmazing, this truly changes how the job plays
>Intervention is now CoverFinally
>>737587117If they speed up the GCD on baby mode, weaving could be interesting
>>737587252they said it's a dev build and the graphics aren't done yet
>>737587241Likely bash still has the enmity gain
Ok lads I hated everything Yoshida said about the actual gameplay of 8.0 but the story and MSQ I'm excited for. It literally is the MSQ holding back the damn of criticism for the game because I couldn't give a shit about the gameplay, the UI any of it as long as those fuckers deliver me a good story.
>>737587253nah man it's revolutionary it's like dork souls
they should have added dodge like mobile has
>>737587148They're gonna show WHM as the only healer and that has the fewest buttons already so I rly wonder what that'll be like. If cure/afflatus solace/glare are one button based on your target/if you have lilllies that'd be kinda wild unelss the job is getting a ton of new shit.
It's not even a parry, it's just timing your active mit so that the 4s window where you have the most mit gives you the stronger retaliation.
>>737587271I mean aoe skills on the bar
Why are they saying this is a counter as though it's something new? This is just TBN 2.0
>>737587229Its always funny to see how if you arent sucking yoshi-p dick 24/7 you are a wowfag.
>Action changes depending on target>Action changes depending on range from targetOh, this is cool. This could ironically have more actions if there's so much context sensitivity.
sasuga cow man with club
>>737587240I'm pleasantly surprised and they even mentioned deep dungeons, this actually looks good.
>Wipe at .01% because our PLD boomer was playing in reborn mode so he couldnt get perfect parry high potency countersKick this man
Eh it still feels like they automated a lot of actions with evolved. So it's still kinda playing for you
>kicking your tank because he missed a parry because he plays on the east coast
>>737587128Been asking for this since forever, also you can give the sheltron on dash
TOOOOOOOOOONNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>737587336and that is why yoship said earlier that evolved will do slightly more dps
its easy mode... BUT YOU GET TBN ON PLD! please enjoy
>>737587329wait, your post was serious? what a dumb fucking faggot you are. how can you watch the explanation and still get it wrong? mouthbreathing waste of space shitskin
Contextual actions, nice. It's a shame they couldn't figure out how to make, at most, 32 skills with meaningful effects.>cover actually goes to the target to shield them unlike a magic tetherThat's cool.
AY TONE
>>737587336>evolved mode PLD boomer hits his defensive too late trying to perfect parry>dies
>>737587350The game was always kinda playing for you if we're honest
they're making tony work for that paycheck
Reminder that Reborn mode also has the parry proc, nothing Evolved mode has is unique besides button consolidation
>>737587336Trusts exist for you.
CLEAN IT UP TONY
Did tony gain weight? anybody got how he used to look?
IT'S GOONING TIME
>>737587357LF1M - REBORN GAMERS NEED NOT APPLY
You guys weren't already weaving in your short CDs at the last minute to get maximum value out of them? Yeah, none of you are gonna make it.
that's it? a parry?
>>737587376There's no buff button either so reborn jobs will probably not have self buff management that doesn't actually involve them doing gameplay shit
>>737587408I was about to say, I remember PLD having something like that back in ARR.
>>737587408Did you just miss the new parry feature that lets you counterattack?
>>737587331PLD is a good exmaple to use because it has all this utility that is context-dependant. Other jobs don't have that at all so I'm curious what that'll be like
I'm happy to see Tony still working after the media tour audio incident.
>>737587394Yeah this is undeniably a good change, but this is such a missed opportunity so far.
>>737587408Wrong. They already said Evolved mode is slightly more DPS. This must be why.
>>737587221Nigger I'm talking about foundational problems the game has, it's a billion year old game with the worst netcode and systemcode out of all the MMOs, there's shit from 1.0 in there.Do I need to remind you why NoClippy exists? It's because the fuckwits won't fix their busted ass game so you get punished for having a higher ping and then get punished again because the system code fucks you on top of it.
>>737587294Glare <-> Cure IIDia <-> A. SolaceThey probably wouldn't consolidate damage skills and party heals just because it would be awkward to have to untarget in order to get your heals appear.
>>737587393Sure anon. Keep suckin it. Nice and clean.
what the hell is that job hudSINISTER
I can’t decide if the obvious wow tranny falseflagging shit is funny or just sad. My advice is get mad at blizzard for giving you guys an lgbtqblm+ event, not ffxiv.

He won.
>>737587941THIS FUCKING AUTIST IS DOING IT BROS
>even the devs rapid click on actions while they're on gcd KEK
>>737587941i rike very much
Bros.... is this what hope feels like... It's been so long...
>>737587867Hopefully they killed the two minute meta entirely because it was far too centralized and removed job identity by forcing everyone to revolve around 60s/120s windows.
>>737587867Tbf it's not 100% finalized
90 mit is way too much, should be either 70 or 85
>>737587867PLD didn't have Flight or Flight either
>YFW MNK CAN PUNCH REFLECT ENEMY ATTACKS
Kate saved the game by nearly killing it
>>737587926Yes. As they should.
>>737587941I RIKE PLEASE SHOW ME MONK WITH LOTS OF POSITIONALS
Bros... I can feel it......he brought back the Kaiten animation. I know he did
>>737587941YES, YES I DO!
>>737587941very much I am the main dragoon voice because I have the longinus zeta.
>>737587972hes just like me
I am... hopeful?
TANOSHII IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS NOW FIX HEALERS
YoshiP has done it, we're so back
>>737588007>mnk can fucking revive and heal
>>737587867Doubtful but I would resub instantly.
>>737587851I would rather they get something differentmaybe we'll get skill variants, or at least LB animation variants so you can get different styles of attack while not changing the actual mechanical function
>>737588009BY FIRE ARE WE REBORN
rebornbros... we're cooked...
I'm sorry I doubted
One Ilm Punch bros, are we back?
I don't get the excitement. It's the exact same thing we've always had, you just press a different button sequence.
>>737588007
>2m doesn't seem to exist for evolved>Actually interesting mechanics for pld and drg>They're actually winning me back>>737587839Even half would still be huge.>>737587956There's still cases where it can still do work. Obviously a lot of stuff will ignore it, but not everything.
It's fun watching this even though I only played the Free Trial up to Heavensward a couple years agoMaybe I'll give the game another shot
>>737587926just gib doublecast from pvp
I can see reaper getting a similar thing to dragoon but instead of a jump it's a void portal type thing giving both maiming jobs a pseudo tank cd
>>737588024I would kneel if kaiten came back
>>737588074They added jumps.
PRESS S TO SPIT ON REBORN'S GRAVE
They’re keeping BRD first lastMmmmmm…
If Evolved White Mage is more complicated than Reborn White Mage....
>WHMHere's the big ticket for me. Are they making my OG main fun again?
They had me worried with the PLD stuff, but DRG looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.
white mage glare combo
must feel good for the devs for the audience and people online be so positive about evolve. i bet that change was very nervewracking
>>737587861I will kneel if they actually do add personal LBs to the rest of the PvE jobs
maybe theyll do something interesting with brd nowI just expected them to cycle through the songs for the pvp combo mode
Reborn cucks...we're stuck on 2 minute meta...
>>737588116s-saving the best for last
No reborn or dispand
>>737588116brd is unironically going to be playing fucking songs
Prediction: WHM will still be boring as fuck
>>737588138they should've lead with this shit and not the 123 -> 111 change
>High cure
>>737588095>Reaper goes into a void portal>When he comes out he aggro'd a big monster that chases him out and it does a huge slash at the enemy since its in the way
>gets rid of 2min/possible raid buffs in general>evolutions playstyle just seems to dick slam your keyboard with no thought behind itwhat am i missing here
The fact that Evolved get different job gauges is pretty huge
>>737588108That has nothing to do with Evolved though, they're skills that can be in both modes. If they're making these skills Evolved exclusive that's one thing, but it's not really related to the mode itself and more of an artificial restriction placed on Reborn to make Evolved better.
Uhhh rebornbros? Why does evolved mode look good? I thought we were supposed to win?
>you get rewarded for healing>with damageTHERE IT IS DOOD
>>737588116Bard will be the canary in the coal mine. If it's gay, it's cooked
>ACTUALLY REWARDED FOR MANUAL CASTINGHOOOOOOLYYYY
is that newthat looks nice and not the flower faggot shit
>rewarded for healing
>global healing spells are now goodok this dude saved the game
>>737588195>they are killing cure 1I hope so. I was baited by the fucking proc as a sprout.
>>737588203vgh too cool for devs. i would kill for a mini summon like that
Dude this guy is cooking
>misery is goneno, it's so fun to press
>heal>get rewarded with a high damage big fuck you spellthis guy has good ideas
The only way to make healing engaging in XIV is to remove almost all of the oGCDs. They should be emergency buttons, not your exclusive source of healing.
>WHM is more leaning into the idea of the blood lilyI... don't know how I feel about this. I hate the blood lily, but more raw healing sounds nice.
Healers SHOULD heal
So i guess we got those fabled 8.0 job reworks after all
>>737588210Shills just spamming the thread with repeated key phrases.
>>737585676CC during primetime consistently has less than a 5min queue. It's dead in the morning unless there's new PvP rewards, but it still has like a 15 min queue early noon.>>737586169They bitch about them online though and keep genuine gamers away from games they'd otherwise really dig>>737587824>3>Sky Pirates>Godslayin>????Crystal Tower is an FFIII crossover if that's what you mean.
>we want healing to be a healers main priorityTHANK GOOOOOOOOOOOOD
>>737588242That's already how Lilies work, though. I fail to see how this is different.
>Doomfags that said this is just xivcombo are exploding
Wait wtf i'm going to get heals????? Tanking is back on the menu.
>WHM DAMAGE SPELLS ARE INSTANTWHAAAAA
>>737588275Ive literally been saying this for like six fucking years now that this is how healers should work
OMG WE HAVE A DPS ROTATION
>damage spells now have no cast times>heals do and you need to gcd deal(which gives you damage)>focus is now on healing, not damagei fucking kneel
There's gonna be SO much fucking damage coming out in raids and extremes if they're doing this for healers
HE IS FUCKING DOING IT HE IS ACTUALLY FUCKING DOING IT
>No cast time heals>Push towards raw heals>Now seems like you can weave dps after a healOk.Ok.You fucks are selling me.
>>737587941yes I rike you fucking messiah thanks for saving this shitshow of a game
>we removed the cast time on offensive spells!>you know... to encourage focusing on hardcasting heals more!The fuck? It should have been the other way around. This logic makes no sense.
>Making WHM of all jobs look fucking funI trust this man with my very life
>instant cast GlareBASED
>>737588358Lustrate was a mistake, and it lead to WHMs asking for a comparable option
wait so what the hell happens with skills that already don't have cast times like ruin 2
Oh, a job for retards, nice. I like that they add inclusivity in FFXIV
i kneel I will resub
>solution to spamming 111 is different visual effectsok dude
Ok but where is the complexity?
>even easier than before
>>737588446healer complexity is always dependent on fights.
>we tried our best to make white mage even easier than beforeliterally who asked for this
>>737588379Unless they are doing a big overhaul of past content to go along with this, evolved party comps are going to shitstomp basically all old EX and below contentprobably even savageunless they pull something like older content locking you to reborn mode
XIV is fucking saved holy shit lol
>>737588442in the end the only thing that matters in game design is how it looks and feels. you can trick the brain a lot by just changing how something feels
>temperance gives you sprintYO
>>737588428But that was already every job in DT?
>Glare III -> High GlareWow so new!
>>737588474everyone that has had to play with a woman healer
I kinda anna grind the whm zodiac now, pretty sure this is my main job going forward.
HEALER HEALS
>20 casualizations>1 (one) cool thing you can do thats actually inconsequential
>>737588391>wtf? why is the healer casting heals?just play dps then
White Mages are cumming their brains out holy fuck. Good on them.
>>737588391This is how it is right now, you almost never hardcast healing spells
I shudder to think of what evolved NIN will look like
If they give SCH another DoT he can silence the most annoying group of people who actually play XIV
>>737588446I guess the mp management since you mainly heal using gcds now
Why the fuck did they think WHM needed to be "easier" to use?
>Healers don't have cast timesWHAT?
>>737588387Glare looks like it's still on the GCD; you just get refunded for up to 3 heals on your next Glare.
>no more cure 1lmao
>>737588530switch 2 release
>fourth XIV thread today with more that 1k posts
If i know one thing about whmfags, its that they only play whm because its easy. They know their audience.
>>737588515everyone called WHM the most braindead healer already, nothing really changes
Its cool, but it wont make it more interesting to play in Dungeons.
>>737588530Because they are positioning for it to be the intro retard proof healer. The others will probably be harder
that DRG segment was easily the best thing all day. It's very good they went into this now instead of leaving people hangingEvolved WHM>WHM is the easiest job and that's why alot of people play it so we wanted Evolved mode to transition smoother>GCD healing boosts sancitity gauge, sanctity gauge proportionally powers up your next dps spell based on how much you healed spell offsetting the dps loss>WHM DPS spells are now instant>We want healing to be the healers main priority>We noticed WHMs got bored spamming one dps spell so are tweaking damage spell to be slightly different the first, second, and third time it's cast>Divine benis/aquaveil are consolidated and given a charge>Temperance increases movement speedThat sanctity thing fits whm identity and has been a commonly requested change but really not so much sage or sch so I hope they aren't even a little bit similar to this.
>>737588527It'll be based. Healers are just gay. DRG was good. Trust the Tamaki plan.
>>737588336You don't get stacks from a full HP target.
>>737588538Calling it, BLM will have similar shit.
>>737588515>NOOOOOOOOO MY 123 AND 60s 800 potency BUTTONS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>737588391why the FUCK do people who do not actually engage with any of the battle content in this game come here to post faggot retarded posts like this. healers literally do nothing but ogcd heal and spam their 1 damage button
>>737588515whm has always been the baby mode healer
>Healers.. Heal! Whoa someone DM Preach about this ASAP!! IT GOING TO COMPLETELY CHANGE THE MMO LANDSCAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>no LB for WHM shownmmm
>whm gets a rotation but only in the mode where it's all on the same button
>>737588560Delete this
>>737583486>>737583486
>>737588560Janny can't stop this. He knows it's foolish to try.
Oh shit no dots
bard bros..
rip dots
>>737588519>missing the pointRetard.>>737588526>This is how it is right nowThat's the point. Making offensive spells instant cast but keeping all the cast times on heals is not encouraging anybody to press those heals. Most healing should be instant cast with a low recast time.
>dots gonegood fucking riddance
>>737588576The Sanctity thing actually encourages baby healers to use their DPS tools because it's a gauge that builds up and encourages you to reset it by casting a glare every so often.
>>737588642>That's the point. Making offensive spells instant cast but keeping all the cast times on heals is not encouraging anybody to press those heals. Most healing should be instant cast with a low recast time.you have no idea what youre talking about, how much they are going to be healing is dependent on fight design not class design
>>737588597>retard misses the point and spergs the fuck outStop posting. You're too stupid to be here.
>more emphasis on songsGood. And now make your new physical ranged a proper ranger
>Bardic Inspiration
>>737588642You power up your damage spells through healing iirc, the hardcasts should be a dps gain now
>BRD has no dots>WHM had no dot >PLD had no dotNew ranged phy confirmed for using dots.>>737588391WHM right now literally does not hard cast spells outside of downtime periods if it can avoid it.This change means raw healing is more important again.
BRD actually supports now it seems
>>737588724>>737588665>>737588639>>737588636SIKE THEY IN
Are they seriously just doubling the amount of jobs they have to functionally maintain? This seems like a fucking logistical nightmare.
so there are the dots
caster bard is back bros
>>737586667Im fine with context targeting moves to remove button bloat. But I would also like to be able to turn them off on some moves.
BOW MAGE IS BACK VROSalso i like how the netcode is so bad even the battle director guy is clipping his gcds lmfao>>737588665sorry nigga what did you say?
>cast bars on ranged physWe're back
MONSTER HUNTER BROSBOWCHADSWE ARE IN
>strafe shootingyou son of a bitch, i'm in.
ok the dodge is actually kind of sick
SNIPER BARD
>>737588771Reborn mode is basically going to be a second class citizen and it's probably going to get removed entirely eventuallyit's just there for the transitional period between now and probably 9.0
>>737588692>retardShut the fuck up holy shit. You're too stupid to be posting.
this is a massive improvement to current bard
>dev plays adc in league>gives bard tumbleoknow this is based
