Is the parry mechanic good game design?
Yeah
after watching clyteum i wanna know if they're doing something about dungeons in 8.x because this is just braindead man
>>737873002blocking, parry, sidestep is kino rolling is slop
>>737873002With that netcode?I'm so looking forward to parse monkies taking tank busters raw because they were greeding for perfect parry.
>>737873002Depends on the gameIt was fun in sekiro but stupid in a game like REm4ke
>>737873002why are threads allowed now
>>737873179it's a video game on the video game board?
>>737873002FUCKNO
>>737873002Absolutely, it rewards skill with an opportunity to strike back.However, the problem becomes when it's way too easy to execute. Like Shadow of Mordor and the like where you simply press a button on an incoming attack and get an instant parry.Games like Morhau, Kingdom Come Deliverance, For Honor and oddly some Wii games (like Red Steel 2) with their directional combat atleast requires you to parry in a specific direction which are the best parry mechanics IMHO.Outside of the obvious VR titles which actually requires you to block the incoming attack yourself.
>>737873002In the immortal words of DSP>*snort* itsh justt byad design
>>737873179>videogames!?!?!?>OH MY /v/?!?!?!?!?
>>737873002Only if it's like Sekiro or Lies of P>>737873060Definitely not, it will be the same old same old design
>>737873002Yes, but you should not be able to parry everything.Anons pile on it as parry-slop, but I dislike how every game has some sort of dash-move often multiple.I dislike this meme in FPS games in particular.
Depends how it's implemented, if it's ogcd then it's fine, if not well, rotation will be weird as fuck
>>737874836It's tacked on to the short mit, so it is an ogcd.In the dev build you got a stack of short mit every twenty seconds tho, so it is gonna be a bit busy to parry everything.
>Out exploring the world>Suddenly, that blue marker indicating a knockback (or death if you stand inside it) appears>After several seconds, a foot from an arcane giant hits the ground>A fate starts>Have to deal enough damage to the foot so that you weaken the giant>Do this with one other fate and then the third fate has it falling down and you fight the body/head
GATOS SEXOS
>>737874836The "parry" is an oGCD mitigation, the counter attack is a full GCD. However, they seem to be trying to move away from strict rotations.
>>737875940We know all of them now, needs to be remade with the other 10
>>737873002>press button to parry the next attack happening in 5sDogshit implementation
question for the current patch msqif the planet gets rejoined why is everyone acting like it's gg. we've met aliens and gone to different planets. i know it's not ideal to use venat's rabbit spaceship to ditch the star but it's an option that nobody brought up and it bugs me when we literally have colonist space bunnies
>>737873060That dungeon was kind of easy, frankly the normal mode trial was kind if a sleepwalk tooEx at least is one if the better ones of DT
>>737873146It’s a 2 second window there’s no risk unless you’ve drifted majorly and at that point you deserve to get slapped for being bad.
Good if done rightElden ring with randomized attack speeds for all enemies and where they input read is not done right, in fact its the worst possible way to do it
>>737877626>Who cares if your planet gets destroyed bro? Just move to a new one.
>>737873179Yeah ive been thinking that ever since that day a few months ago that 4chan went down for like a week. Why ARE threads allowed? Why is the site still going with that awful captcha, especially on desktop.“Why are threads allowed” indeed.
>>737877626They forgot that it's only the planet that's sharded
>>737875913This is just superfate chains
>>737873179>Why are video game theads allowed on a video game boardA porn thread died for this...
>>737873002>4 to 8 second windowthat's not a fucking parry
>>737878030its at the very edge of reactability for the average 2026 MMO player, cut them some slack
>>737877626For the end of days, only the source was affected, the other shards seemingly would have been fine. Even then we would only have been able to save a small fraction of the Source' population.With this natural rejoining, every shard is going to get fucked and there is no way we can relocate a meaningful amount of people in this scenario.
>>737873002the only good parry in existence is in BOTW so nope.
>>737873002>rewards players for having skill>it has stakes>it isnt necessary for every player to use this strategy if applied correctly then yes
>>737878232>botwnope
>>737878430okay, Guardian fodder.
>>737877626Perhaps because we are literally of the Source, even if you get on a space ship and try to fly away, you still get forcibly rejoined somehow. Maybe you'll get yanked through the spaceship hull to get mashed together with your reflection counterparts somewhere in space.
We''re so back Zenosbros
>>737873002Yes but you also need to give to the enemies faints
>>737878075the japanese just don't make them like the koreans
>>737881102meant to post this one
>>737881102Maplestory has parries?
>>737873098rolling wouldn't be so "slop" if it didn't give you i-frames but worked simple to make your hit box smaller for a moment
>>737873002it’s not enough of a change. you should have already been playing paladin like this, not stacking everything for a tank buster. all you do now is get an ogcd attack that doesn’t even do a lot of damage. this is the laziest, most pathetic “class identity” adjustment ive ever seen
>>737881963That boss specifically gives you a skill that lets you parry his attacks. Outside of that the Mihile class does get their own parry skill that's incredibly strong but also still requires you to actually time it properly.
Can we get old astro back
>>737882751you might get time magic for yourself, but party buffs are dead
>>737882751the guy who designed astro to begin with is the same guy designing evolved mode, singlehandedly
>>737873002isn't it like a 4 second window? maybe if it was a 0.5 second window it could be cool (still a large window but since the netcode is shit i wouldn't go lower probably)
>>737873179because they announced a Shitch 2 version
>>737879191Based
>1 post per hour threadInternet outage in India today?
Is it true? Are Hoary Boulder and Coultenet back? Should I resub?
>>737885702Hoary Boulder appears, Coultenet is mentioned. 7.5 was pretty good
ye
>>737873179Mods have been taking pot-shots so they sort of aren't
>>737885556you just need appropriate content. like lalas. everyone loves lalas
>>737887458ORAAAAAAAA SSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXX
>>737877626The idea here is that if the reflections rejoin to the Source, all form of life dies. The star will be fine, but all wildlife and all people are gone. On both the Source and the reflections.How are we going to take everyone (and everything) away from 1 star and its remaining several mirrors and bring them to another star?
>>737879010>Maybe you'll get yanked through the spaceship hull to get mashed together with your reflection counterparts somewhere in space.I doubt it'd work like that, but that's metal as fuck.

the patch is kinda iffy for me. there's no lala contentwhere's the lala content
>>737873002Considering I already try to "parry" hits, since I think it looks cool having the shell animation up while the hit comes in, yes.
>>737889442the last patch was an entire city of lala
>>737889295Dragon age 3 was also parryslop. That game was so close to being really good, just that one little thing called parrying and it’s like totally ruined. Anyways when are we getting another origins quality game, im playing xenoblade chronicles which is like similar to dao but its way worse. Dao is probably the best game of that type, it’s actually like my favorite game. Although im so fucking bored of it, I think I’ve done at least 100 playthroughs.
Dungeons have gotta go man. Such nothingburger content
>>737889295Paper Mario Thousand Year Door

Where plogon?
>>737890020
>>737890020serves em right. i have noticed the average roulette pug is a lot worse than normali do miss universalis though
>>737889815Yea MMOs are designed to log in and stay in for like 4 hours 3 times a week. Its a shit game model, id like to see the concept of raids and dungeons be actually just deleted and we can return to a type of ultimate online experience where the best uniques are tied to raids and dungeons where you team up to defeat the encounter before hitting enrage timer.
>>737890190>mmos of old: what should I do today? I can move to a new camp spot, party up, craft, etc.>mmos of now: I have to do my chores or I'll lose out on my bennies
>>737890020They seem to be taking longer with this patch it seems.
>>737890568Apparently 7.5 refactored a lot of stuff again
>>737890568good. if they want to cheat, make them suffer for it
>>737873002>PLD can trigger their parry even when covering another player and eating the hit for them, if they are able to time both the 4s of cover and the 4s of available window for the sweet parry together>As parries lead to a direct DPS increase, and are available to trigger every 20s, a defining factor of PLD's skill expression will become discovering exactly how many parries one can pull off in a fight.>The natural synergy between the parry and cover mechanic mean that the player is mechanically incentivize to play as the knight in shining armor actively doing all that they can to keep their party out of harms way.It's literally kino. With just some thoughtful design for once in fucking ages they figured out how to express the class fantasy of a Final Fantasy job mechanically. I really hope that the rest of the evolved modes offer similar mechanical flavor.
>>7378912184s window is not a fucking parry that's just a regular ass mitigation
>>737890568It usually takes them 1-2weeks.I hope the next expansion kill mods
I hope the next expansion kills the anon above
>>737891286Within the literal mechanics of the ability and how it functions, it is. But we can both agree that it's an incredibly generous window that would be easy to accomplish for anyone putting just a little bit of focus, but the difficulty is not meant to be within the act of the parry itself. The point of the mechanic is to express a concept associated with the fantasy of the job itself (the stalwart protector covering their friends)and it's difficulty is in finding the suitable window of opportunity to trigger the counter as soon as possible, because the parry skill itself has a CD of only 20 seconds so finding parry opportunities is something you will need think about and to seek out all the time while playing.
8.0 will kill dalamudtrust the plan
>>737877626>>737879010it's not as easy as just flying away. notice how when zenos died Zero got flung back to Etheirys all the way from bumfuck nowhereville where Meteion was. Seems like the Solstice is a big reset button and the planet WILL get your ass back to the Character Creation screen for FFXVII. Seems like souls are bound to their planets/lifestream, or at the very least the FFXIV planet's souls are so the rejoining will get your ass whenever you are and as of now we know it will kill you.The Solstice is yet another point against Meteion's doomer claims because the worlds simply do not care about shitters shitting around, everything dies then life springs anew from death, fuck off you stupid bird.
>sky high is now a part of dragoon's normal kip
>>737873002Its been around for ages tho
>>737881102Does Maplestory's combat primarily live client side where the only real communication between the client and server is just the damage being inflicted like PSO? Because no one ever seems to ever consider the difference between games that handle combat 90% client side vs games that are more sever reliant like FFXIV. (0.5s frame windows are literally too fast for the time it takes for the server and client to handshake in XIV) Client sided combat does allow for tighter and faster feeling combat but it also opens the door for more powerful cheat tools (PSO has had issues with more powerful cheat tools enabled by it's client side vulnerabilities for like 20 years, PSO1, PSU, PSO2, even the PSP games all had cheater problems.)
>>737892250Maplestory is interesting in that regard because it used to be mostly server sided but they slowly turned it more and more client sided over the years as the game became much faster paced and server lag started to become an actual problem. Some classes used to be straight up unplayable with bad ping but most of those issues are gone now. Still they have a mixed approach of combining both server sided and client sided interactions which helps with preventing cheat tools like that becoming a major problem while still keeping the gameplay feeling responsive
We'll see these numbers go back up now since fanfest was so "banger" and "peak" right?
>>737893773Maybe only a little at .55. It wont recover till 8.0.
>>737893773Luckybancho only counts if I agree with it

I mostly ignored cosmic, is there an optimal way to do it or do I just sit there grinding out crafts?

>>737893773Everybody in Famitsu threads hawking over player counts and finance data is a fucking idiot and so are you, go back where you came from
>>737890624Refactored how?
I think I got banned by square enix woke squad. trying to buy a new ffxi key from the store and they are auto cancelling my orders after purchase
>>737892008Sky High is pure, unfiltered DRGkino and I think most of us never thought we'd get it.
>>737894583I don't think we *would* have ever gotten it if they hadn't also committed to enormous job design and raid design changes. Raid buffs dying unless you're a Bard (and most likely Astrologian and Dancer) is huge, raid buff meta has informed raid design since HW and SB before crystallizing into what it is now in ShB
THIS IS YOUR STOOOORYYOUR STOOOORY
>>737894489It's a simple question. Why are you avoiding answering?
>>737893773Want me to be honest? To be truly, truly honest?I am not an investor, I'm not a Square suit. I am not interested in line go up, I'm interested in game become better.If we keep current numbers and Evercold is as good as it could be, I'll be happy as a clam.The big player influx at the tail end of ShB into EW was not a boon for me. I actively think it made the community worse.So if the game gets better and the community goes back to being relatively cozy, that's the ideal.Again, I'm not a Square suit, and I know they 100% think differently, but you are in a thread of anons - players, not suits.
>>737893773A holo is thinking about playing the game so that will probably boost the numbers
>>737894667Guys playing investor on /v/ literally will not ever grasp that nobody cares
>>737894667If we had any decent mods they would kill posters like that because they legitimately add nothing to gaming discussions
man i really need the colour rgb now to make my oni cat totally red
>>737894826>color-coordinating skin with dyed items that convey supernatural traitsneat
>>737894550Nah something is fucked up with their vendor system. I couldnt resub or buy a fanta with my cards. Had to use Paypal for crysta.
>>737894729>>737894805I won't deny that they have a point to make, probably.If Mr. Engrish said "okay, we wirr gibe yu mor moni so you can rimito bureko" and meant it, if line doesn't go up in Evercold, they'll probably pull back on it.I, as a player, personally just couldn't care less about the player numbers until they get so small doing anything ingame is impractical, and I'd rather not have a gigantic surge again like with Endwalker because I didn't really like what it did.
>>737894826Nice.Is that a crafted weapon? I don't remember.
>>737894706I feel like the devs are shooting themselves in the foot by forcing people to go to these shitty empty servers. They really should just scrap Dynamis and split its servers into the existing ones.
>>737895010PvP weapon, I think.DRK and GNB can use that model, afaik. WAR too, I assume? But not sure.
>>737894826would be better if you weren't a gross furry
>>737894973damn, thank you for shedding some light on this
>>737895047>>737895010aka oni great club, it’s 3000 wolf marks
>>737873179new expansion, what are we supposed to not talk about it? just go to the general where no one new is going to get a word in edgewise or understand anything? alright pal.there is a difference between being contrarian and hating everything also.
Do you think they will give us a free fanta when the new character creation update hits?
>>737895350No because all the changes except for maybe skin I don’t remember can be done at the aesthetician
>>737895350100% also I still got my free one from the quest, I put my other two in my retainer
>>737893069Yeah that sounds about right then. Just the concession that is inherently made when you lean more on client side action. Maybe one day SE will untangle their dogshit code enough to improve the responsiveness of their netcode to at least get to a level of responsiveness closer towards WoW's engine. I had long since given up on that dream before but the EC reveal promised a fuckton of stuff I had hoped for when I was at my peak enjoyment of the game (I stopped really loving XIV over ShB and quit at 5.1) so maybe SE wasn't blowing smoke up everyone's ass when the CEO went on stage to promise more budget after like 2 years of getting his feet to the fire by shareholders over XIV's downturn.
>>737894974Supposedly his wife plays xiv, so he might have to keep it up for a while just to not get nagged at.
>>737895350They've been throwing free fantasias at us basically every single patch of DT because of incredibly minor changes to the shaders on some faces. It's basically a guarantee that we'll get a free one.
>>737895350Yes. It would be absurd if they didn't, as they gave out free ones for less impactful changes.
People aren't realizing how removing the two minute meta and party buffs is going to affect job design. They're still trying to think in terms of strict timing windows for when theyre doing their damage when really the only thing that is going to affect your timing now is the boss jumping and not getting whacked by mechanics.
>>737873002It can be but it becomes shit when parrying is the optimal option for any available situation to the point of making it a bad rhythm game in disguise
>>737894652People are calling this guy Odin, but he’s actually Nidhogg
This is the most Nordic coded expac in FF you're not going to convince me the tank class isn't Rune Knight
>>737895618Cool, that means I'll have a stack of four fantasias that ill.never use now
>>737895665Unless they kill potions there will still be 5 minute burst windows.
>>737895719He said the jobs were unique to XIV. Unless they take a blatantly existing job and just call it something else.
>>737895719>Rune KnightYou mean rune fencer but yeah probably.
>>737873002Obviously depends on the game. Really overused these days
>>737895831rune fencer seems like a never ever with greatswords taken already and mystic knight existing in universe
>>737895719he said both jobs would be XIV originals though
enough ramblingpost your 8.0 theories NOW
>>737895618>They've been throwing free fantasias at us basically every single patch of DTdo those expire? i haven't logged in since 6.4 lmao
>>737895995fantasias don't expire but you've missed most of the freebies. there's still one in ul'dah on permanent availability, small sidequest chain

>>737896156literally nothing here is right
>>737896156We're not getting a goddamn slingshot DPS

>>737896415He gives a title flat out and it's not correct at all. You are an idiot. Just checking the veracity of the first line would be enough to tell you it's bullshit and you can't even do that much.
>>737895614Based wife making it so that XIV can be better.
>>737895614You retards said this before Dawntrail too.
>>737894805What does this post have to do with video game discussion?
>>737895995You missed the freebies, yeah.For instance, they added one from a moogle in Gridania in 7.2, and that expired in 7.3, but we got a new one in 7.3, which then expired in 7.4 again.So those you won't be able to get.But they did also have one that always stick around from a quest. So that means that if you were to start now, you'd have two free fantasies. The one from the MSQ and the one they added in DT that always sticks around.
>>737896156The story is completely off the mark with what we've learned in 7.5. If that dude really had inside info, he wouldn't have gotten the Winterers' goal or the main looming threat wrong.
>>737896156>basically Usopp, and big bonki dunno about that one chief>>737895793well that blows my Spellblade theory out the window. honestly thought that theory was just " I don't see my favorite FFV class in this list ". i find it hard to believe they're just inventing 2 classes out of thin air after 16 games with many that aren't in 14 but if thats what he said.
>>737895831Rune Fencer can come in 11.0 when they start adding Jobs that share weapons like Ranger and Bard
>>737879191
>>737874836>how it's implementedOne time damage reduction on one non-auto attack on cool down with an animation of you using your weapon to parry so you can feel immersed.
>>737873002I think deep and complex customization, an extended job class system & turn based RPG style gameplay is the only thing that can save FINAL FANTASY™ .
>>737896156that is clearly all bullshit. That might've been someone that heard SOMETHING and then made a bunch of shit up at most

>>737873002I unironically hate souls games for popularizing i-frames roll. Roll should never give you i-frames, only parry should. Parry should be superior to dodge, but not all attacks should be parryable.

>>737873002Yes, but it shouldn't be everywhere. It depends on how well it meshes with the other combat mechanics. E33 for example is an incredibly poor implementation of a parry system because it's just a solve everything button.
>>737900084Vizzer what did you do to that bitch?

>>737900131yeah E33's parry sucks fucking ass because it takes away whatever little strategizing the ROLE PLAYING GAME hasalso it's even more braindead than the usual parry game because you don't even need to position lmao

>>737900225I pulled my Enuo staff out and had 2 people ask my why my void rod sounded like a fartI am now dubbing it the "fart rod"https://files.catbox.moe/j525fh.mp4
>>737900769What were they thinking?
>>737900749It's gonna be weeks.
>>737899873>they're even taking the Norse aesthetic aware from the RoesAnd Viera.
>>737873060The redpill is that DT has had some of the best and most involved dungeon mechanics of all time. Dungeons are just trash that are meant to be able to be completed by Trusts and retards.
>>737900912They should change how some of the game's data is structured more often.
>>737896203I hope the ranged phys is not a fucking slingshot user from One Piece, but everything that was covered during Fanfest are things that the leak got right.
I stopped caring about hamfisted parry systems in rpgs when I realized I can just pick up a rhythm game and parry up to 1000 times a minute. It's more fun that way
>>737895994Tank will probably be using a Garlean themed Gunshield job and the DPS will be a nordic themed Hammer/axe throwing job that is loosely based of Thor.
>>737900912Hopefully they never figure it out, fuck cheaters
>>737901279>and the DPS will be a nordic themed Hammer/axe throwing job
>>737900912I wish XE would just put YesAlready and Teleporter into the game. And give transparency options for all UI elements. If they did that, I probably wouldn't crutch on Dalamud so hard.
>>737901329Did I stutter?
>>737900769haha fart xD
>>737896442this smug bitch is freely plapping around just like many other very fuckable girls that are into the wol while the he is stuck on cosmic janitor dutygrim
They should add a Gunslinger job, double pistols and DMC style flip shots and shit.
>>737901202leak is fake and gay, dude was cold reading
The horseperson of pride is HERE ! REJOICE, LGBT EORZEANS !!!
>>737901026Could not believe my eyes that the XI raid has a boss with multiple floors to fight. XIV dev team usually shit themselves if they hear someone ask about boss arenas that aren't just a single totally flat circle/square.
>>737901719He cold read so extremely well that nothing he said which was actually covered by the fanfest is wrong, so the leak could still actually be a leak.

>>737900432holy shit I actually bullied you hard enoughwhat, bored of being a wowfaggot grifter?
>>737900912I'm still betting on them going "sorry guys we cant do this SE did something that fucked Dalamud" when 8.0 drops and fucks off forever just to avoid dealing with ffxiv modders.

>>737901856is that a rainbow pony? that's so epic meme haha le FUUUUUUUUUUUU the cake is a lie!!!
>>737902154honestly baffling how people walk around the game looking this ugly
>>737900912Game is literally unplayable rn
>>737902154Is Sphene is still with us or did she fuck off?
>>737891286It's fine for what this nigger netcode allows
>>737902003There was an entire series of horse mounts all the way back in ARR
>>737873002I've seen so many insecure raiders being mad at Evolved for being "dumbed down" because they have less buttons which really shows just how dumb this community is, they are literally shown better, more thoughtfully designed jobs that doesn't have massive button bloat and complains, even when they still got access to their old inferior versions of said jobs.Either way Evolved is the most exciting thing FFXIV has done in ages and I want to see more evolved jobs now.
>>737901856Wowfags wish they had a literal gay horseTry justifying this
>>737902001Krile's not that fat.Is she...?
Have we heard anything new about the character model printing service.
>>737901856okay, why is this floating around the datamines yet again?I specifically remember this mount being datamined over 2 years ago
>>737902231Last we saw her was unfortunately in 7.4.We only met up with Shale for a bit in S9, then we fucked off to Sharlayan, then fucked off to Garlemald.
Chort
>>737902154I miss her...>>737902231no she got City Leader'd, if we're lucky we'll see her in a sidequest or two in an expansion or two...
>>737902358
>>737900769Too bad I'm not at my PC now, I could do a real funny sound replacement and get a gorillion updoots on XMA

>>737902358YOOOO MY NIGGA CHORT
>>737902358Gave me a chortle
The femra expansion
>>737902358New janny spotted
>>737902330It was added at some point in Endwalker, yeah. It was just a model then, and now it's an actual mount with a name and icon.
>>737902490Femra's are the most powerful race.
>>737902490I want to breed this shadownigger
>>737902490expanding this femra's belly via impregnation
>>737902154>>737902374>WoL befriends you>you get stuck as a city leader to be forgotten>WoL steals your clothing when you're not looking and fucks offthis has happened multiple times.
>>737873002Depends on the game. The parry in E33, for example, basically ruins the combat system entirely since everything boils down to parrying good.
>>737902572>>737902593Anons ascians are ghosts
>>737902595WoL is really lucky none of them speak with each other because otherwise WoL might be in trouble
>>737873002It usually devolves into learning patterns and timings, so it becomes less about reaction time and skill, and more about brute-forcing it until you learn said patterns.So it fucking sucks most of the time.
>>737902490I want to bully her.She's such a maso.
>>737902656So? You think the WoL can't bullshit a solution for that?
>>737902490Femra supremacy
>>737902656She's not an unsundered, she's a meat puppet that has been given a load of memories of her own past.
>>737902656Anon Ascians steal bodies to inhabit.
>minions of non scion npcs get added when their stories are pretty much done>no sphene minionbros she's coming with us..
>>737902656My best friend's grandfater was an Ascian you BIGOT
>>737902745aint nobody wanna see that broken ass bitch again, smell ya later
>>737902745hahayeahi wish
>>737902745I have a feeling the team is going to bury as much of Dawntrail as possible
I really wish they would let you have a preview before using a fanta, I want to see what my plates look like first.
>>737902745Keep to the faith.....
>>737873002In 14? I think it *could* be good, but I don't know if I like the idea of it because it forces a specific tank to be the one taking damage if they are in the group.
>>737902358LOOOOOOL CHORTTHIS GUY IS LITERALLY ME XDDDDONT CHORT ON US! lol/EATCHICKEN WANT SOME? haha
Parrying is a bad mechanic because mastery over it means that only the absolute minimum engagement with a game's combat system is necessary to win.
>>737901987Where does this drop
>>737902869The JO stone literally is the main thing we got out of DT.Calyx is the DT "final boss" as it were.
>>737902725impregnating a random femra who might be unwilling just because hamster there is possessing her is not a good thing to do either>>737902720oh yeah, that. they can do that I forgot.well she's still brainwashed so tread with care
>>737902072I hope they encrypt everything in 8.0. To force modders out. Them selling skill animations was the heads-up they're going to probably start to fuck with modders.
>>737896156>flail had good physicsThis is how you IMMEDIATELY disregard this fanfic.A whip using job has been said to never be happening for years, due to what a pain it would be for physics and animation, YoshiP said this again at fanfest, as well as saying that's why we can't have longer hairs.Everything else is just an extremely broad shot or just outright wrong, like the story that would be "clear by the next patch" there were no parasitic beings, and the Winterers don't give a fuck about the key
We must be better Garleans.
>>737902907Well that's what they're doing apparently
>>737902330https://ffxivcollect.com/mounts/337

>>737902965>brainwashedI've been saying for three expansions now that the Ascians did nothing wrong, and now I have been proven entirely correct>buh buh buh that's genocideZODIARK TRANCE
>garlean community
>>737902968SE will probably not bother since that wont do anything, modders are perfectly capable of destroying each other anyways, theres gonna be drama of people wanting animation mods but animation modders going "actually SE is officially supporting this so I might not wanna do it" or some shit like that.
>>737903004The only good Garlean is a dead Garlean The Barheim Incident was self defense
>>737903021I know, I've been following it. Im not going to freak out until I see more because overall I'm positive on the combat changes. Its just a general concern that could come up.
>>737903060What
A plot opened up - you could become my new neighbor today
>>737902975If the flail animations are built into the weapons skills itself it might be possible.
Ahem! I have an important announcement.Sex with brown skinned cats.That is all.
>>737903068Best story patch in DT thus far, but that line made me roll my eyes. It also just doesn't make any sense. They aren't a small community they are an entire fucking nation.
>>737903060Oh sorry I thought this was a general thread about parrying, I didn't realize it was specific to the context of the tranny mmo
>>737903067if you support ascian tactics you support things like suzaku raping you and forcing you to wear tenzen's clothing and doing the dishes for her and living happily married to her.
>>737903180Yeah, I too want to breed Yaana until she's debilitatingly gravid.
>>737902490so she has used Calyx as a sex toy right?
Raging troonoids thread.
>>737873002Depends on reactability.XIV is a game with cast bars on tank busters for modern fights.A tank failing a parry window despite having a literal countdown would be a massive fucking skill issue
sex with miqo'te
>>737903230Alright this sounds neat too, can I still genocide the lesser shards and bring them screaming into our glorious, greater whole?
>>737903265Well it is now since you posted.
>>737903196a good chunk of them died during the civil war and the continued shit that followed
I'm sure this isn't gonna backfire.
>>737900912everyone raging against cheaters/dalamud devs are in for a rude surpriseall of that is a lot of words for "it's just taking an extra day, here's some text to shut up the normies who only visit the server on patch day"
>>737903141only if it leads to a bad porn set up
>two new holiday mountsneat
>>737903196Are they even at this point they killed like 80 percent of themselves
>>737902490This type of dialogue has me very excited for the story again.
>>737903317>all of that is a lot of words for "it's just taking an extra day, here's some text to shut up the normies who only visit the server on patch day"Last patch it took two weeks.
>>737903315What ideology do the Ascians even have anymore? Zodiark is gone.
>>737903315Which one gets me a Lalawife that's the one I'll back
>>737903196A lot of them are dead or scattered
>>737902719Tell me about Digorno, why does she swing the axe?
>>737898984For example..?
>>737903306might want to revive zodiark for that one to work out though
>>737903351I liked how she acknowledged we can fuck her and her collaborators up.But just charging through like a raging bull, is that really the solution? Would you doom everyone to a worse fate?I prefer that over "heh, you're just a weak mortal who doesn't understand the true breadth of my machinations. ;)" and then she breaks down when we kick her shit in.
>>737903331Why the fuck is the Christmas mount already in the game in April
>>737903141Is housing still aids to buy into? Last time there was no availability and it was impossible to get a plot.
>>737903331Is the Rocket Punch actually going to be Dancing Mad Ultimate? Would be really cool
>>737903315I'm ready to find out that these assholes are withholding info from each other that when taken as a whole shows that they're either wrong about the solstice, or that there's an actual solution rather than their individual goals
>>737903391>What ideology do the Ascians even have anymore?We don't know, and that's exactly why I don't mind seeing more Ascians.They are free to pursue their own designs at this point.In Halmarut's case, she alleges she just wants to save as much people as she can, even if that means sacrificing others, if the alternative is that everyone dies.
>>737903463Because between here and January it's just minor patches so might as well put it in now
>>737903358you can look in the channel and see 7.45 took one single day, that's excluding hotfixes.If you mean 7.4, sure, but the changes that took place there are not what took place heresource: you can opt into the dev chat and fucking see they just put out the SDK for plugin devs to start updating you dumb fuck
>>737903315I really hope we get a scene with all of them meeting up, scheming but clearly trying to figure out ways to fuck over each other to get the upper hand while also being super massive losers.
>>737903141>shirogane no thanks
>>737903463I have no clue.Sometimes I guess they just add a mount in early.
>>737903541>source: you can transition into the goon chat and see they just put out the DIY bathtub recipe you dumb fuck
>>737903331How do you think we're gonna the rainbow unicorn. I want it.
>>737903514just move to a dead server :)
>>737903514Right now its fairly easy. Atleast if you happy with a small plot. Those usually end up in a lottery with 2 players tops. Not a lot of demand atleast on Malboro. Except Mediums and Larges those are still hard to get.
>>737903591>thematic mount that looks entirely new>allegedly has an action associated>events now have actual minigames and stuff to do againWe are so fvcking back, fellow chorts.
>>737903315unless the other 3 are also Ascians or can move between shards it really feels like Halamut just has the upper hand at all times.
>>737903591Japan still celebrates Christmas. Its nice. Now do more decorations than just a small area in 3 cities
>>737901886https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI8oib1o2_41.0 pretty much being a XI successor capped off on that, too. There's arguably a lot that XIV could do, even simply treating the boss fight as more of a mini-dungeon series of mechanics and ideas, but they're stagnate.
>>737903315i like how calyx is already blatantly trying to fuck over the 4th winternigga by involving us
>>737903429Nah fuck that, they're apparently rejoining all by themselves and I don't really need the Wish Machine.
>>737903613reward for the new Pride Parade seasonal event they're debuting this year
>>737901856>no pink/blue/white saddlehow bigoted
>>737903745The game is already gay
>>737902296No, I'm thinking it'll be a JP thing only
>>737903745>wait until after people start having massive faggot fatigue to finally add official gay shitDoubt
>>737903613Probably tied to Evercold (in a noncommittal cheeky way), funnily enough.Maybe a 7.55 reward? I don't know. Could just be a holiday thing.Not that I'm jonesing for ARR primals pony but rainbow myself, but eh.
>>737903745>what if cbu3 was based in californiano joke, if they actually do this, i'll quit
>>737903619>>737903653Im so mad that I had to give up a medium plot when I moved from Jenova to Gilgameme right before HW because the FC wanted to move. We all move and they fucking quick or split up within 4 weeks later. A bunch of bastards they are.
>>737901886funny thing is thats because people kept pushing back against it because it meant less uptime, really all the issues they're breaking from comes from listening to raiders.
Speaking of the unicorn I wish they'd use different breeds besides an Arabian for every single horse mount
>>737903745This is not happening lol
>>737903831so the rainbow is just a bifrost reference? HOW BIGOTED
what could have been...
>>737891286they basically turned sheltron from "just a damage mit" to "it actually factors into the playstyle and rewards a player for timing it good instead of just hitting the button", so it's something
>>737903701They made a new zone for christmas events in DT.https://youtu.be/2DGyknfjZhYAnd the last 2 events have had minigames associated.https://youtu.be/Ak00AumhMh8https://youtu.be/e2tfzyz-8nk
>>737903591I really want to pull that dress down
>>737903952from the thumbnail i thought she was lifting her leg up for a pussy display
>>737903952Just play moonie, she's basically one
>>737903952All they had to do was ape Bless's design for lion women.
>>737903914I would like to see more Appaloosa's personally.
>>737903952I don't get the hrothgar hate beyond wuk lamat and the permanent hunchback. the train guy's wife looks fine
Gobbie lalas
>>737904045DT not having any horse mounts is criminal>but horses have barely made it to EorzeaI DON'T CARE I WANTED TO BE A COWBOY
>>737903952I kinda wanted to play one of these so I'm really disappointed how manly Hrothgirls are.
>>737904105>the train guy's wife looks fineShe's hideous even for furshit.
>>737904105Hair and fur color options aren't great and a lot of armor sits weirdly on them but if they fix that and with the CC updates I'll probably roll one at some point
did they finally hire a full cosmetic team? i feel like with this patch and whats coming in 8.0 there's a lot more shit being put out than usual
>>737904112But yordles are fur skinned.
Hrothgar were a mistake. Actual furshit races deserve the rope.
>>737904105Wuk is always gonna drag them down.But I think they're cute. A bit too top heavy, though. They'll have to get that ass slider.
>10.0, end of current arc>ethyris is sentient and is tired of people constantly fucking with it and is the force behind the solstice >we beat up the physical manifestation of the planet and force it go on on adventures with us to teach it the wonders of life
>>737904227Kiryu said they're putting more money into XIV, which logically translates to more people working on it. Can't do much with more money if the amount of people working on that thing remains the same.
More beards when?
>>737904252kill yourself
what would an evolved scholar or summoner look like?
>>737904309It will be a blue crystal waifu
>>737873002yesparrying = sigma, staying in the fightrolling = beta, running away
>>737873002MT gets buster parry, meanwhile I bet every OT is gonna get an AoE Blackest Night where you wanna 'parry' the raid wide to unlock your own counter.
>>737904337Hopefully 8.0 or 8.x.We'll have to see at Berlin or something how much they plan to update.Given that ass slider was actually a thing they could even think to consider, we might see more than just the kinda tepid "color picker for hair and skin" stuff we've seen so far.
>>737904339No, Khimari is shit and worthless in FFX too. Fuck off.
>>737904309>we beat up the physical manifestation of the planet and force it go on on adventures with us to teach it the wonders of lifeI already read the Tsukihime remake, but I can go for another adaptation I guess.
>>737904205what happened to hrothgar? all beast races in XIV are very stylish and monstrous, then we have these guys straight out of a zookeper and a lioness' one night stand.
>>737903952>>737904143Hroths are so masculine and ugly it's unreal. The japs know how to do cute kemono stuff so they fucked it up trying to appeal to retarded wowfags that worship ugliness.>>737904105They look like highlander men with fur pasted on. They're built like men.
>>737904112I already made a template in the character creator and was pleased to find an ear slider. Just missing the color.
>>737904228It's the thought that counts, they're very cute
>Halmarut just walks up to the Scions and stops a few feet away from them.>"Greetings."She's such an autist. You know she rehearsed the perfect opening line flowing into a broader monologue in front of a mirror a thousand times, but blanked out upon seeing the WoL and scions so said the first thing that came to mind.
Fuck the fourth, I want more first lore.
Love this cute dork.
>>737904573considering she nearly pissed herself when we noticed her she tried really hard to play it cool
>>737904589>Fuck the fourth,I'm trying.
>>737904573>Halmarut just walks up to the Scions and stops a few feet away from them.>"Greetings."LOL omg she actually did!!! xD
>>737903817The fuck why
>>737904573wow, she's literally me
>>737904412end your life
>>737904652kill yourself
>>737904573Reminds me of that one bit in aqua teen hunger force with the onion creature rehearsing line "nice head i think ill take it" but just blanks.
>>737904573>>737904625She has bite, comparing our ambitions to Zenos and his destructive pathI want to see more of her
>>737873002so with the evolved combat I assume this means they are going forward with more action oriented encounters and bosses?
>>737903827>faggot fatiguewhen Dawntrail is more heterosexual than any other previous expansion lol
>>737904573https://youtu.be/P92Jjf0DJ5c
>>737904404I hope NA fanfest managed to bully them into adding butt sliders
>>737904742i really hope they give us 1 on 1 scenes with her in ec
>>737904712Freya is cool tho, but he's still right about hrothgar>>737904753lollmao
>>737904573>>737904625I mean the WoL killed all her bosses who were all exponentially more powerful than her. She's likely aware of that fact she has to tread carefully to not activate the fucking ascian terminator.
>>737901282I don't care if Dalamud dies, I can still use Textools to install texture and mesh mods clientside if necessary, it's just more convenient with Penumbra.
>>737904753At the very least with the loss of the 2 min buff window where bosses generally relaxed at the same point every time, going forwards you can very possibly see bosses that simply do not relent at all.
>>737904798nah, they were already planning it; they were just hamming it up for fanserviceotherwise koji wouldn't have been the first one to bring it up, nor would they have vetted it for the Q&A
>>737904828It's not like the WoL was just ON SIGHT MOTHERFUCKERS DIE DIE DIE to the shadowniggers, approaching in an amicable manner isn't gonna get her shanked.
>>737904742I think she was just trying to inform us that if we keep willy nilly charging into problems brute force resolving them to feed our own ego and combatboner, we could doom far more people in the process.Get us to think about our plan of approach, and whether it's always going to be the best course of action.After all, Zenos was similar in the sense that he just followed his intuition to have as much fun as possible no matter the cost.For the WoL, their intuition is to punch the bad guy in the face until they either stop being a bad guy or perish, and that desire to be the big strong hero could end up blowing up in not only the WoL's face, but everyone else's as well.
>>737903991Yeah but I just like seeing decorations in general areas. But that unique zone was nice looking.
>>737904876Left/right positionals may be a massive pain in the dick depending on how big the boss hitboxes are though
>>737904904This is how I feel about it.These are things they already wanted to touch upon, or they would just have been filtered outright from the Q&A and Koji would've never said anything about it.They're probably trying to tease it in a way where it actually feels organic, rather than just announcing that they'll do it as a feature.>You really bent our arm, and now you have x feature."
>>737904953i hope they genuinely go through with painting the savior complex thing in a bad light and we dont just muderhobo our way to fixing everything anyway
The new extreme is too hard...
>>737904953WoL has scions to rein his autism in, without them, it is likely that he would have ended up in the same situation Ardbert had.>defeat the BIG BAD EVIL PRIMAL>oh shit, this actually wasn't the BIG BAD EVIL PRIMAL, but the last thing stopping another calamity
>>737904625there are wols that would abuse their authority over ascians to force her to piss herself in public
>>737904934Not initially, but I think Emet made things a bit worse for all Ascians, and then Fandaniel added to that.Funnily enough, though, seems the WoL has an immediate on sight murder glare when they even hear the name Calyx.My WoL was seething.
>>737904990I feel like every melee is going to have at least one combo that has an early True North baked into it. RPR and SAM is going to have to make a fucking expedition around the arena to hit their probable evolved combos otherwise.
>>737905064id drink her piss ngl
>>737904990You've got a filler combo that doesn't require positionals, 3 ignore positional stacks, and the positionals require stacks that take 10 seconds to build up. You've got more than enough time get form one side to the other.
>>737873002No, but it should be yes.Game designers are cave dwellers and hence they have no clue what happens to you in a fight when someone successfully parries your attack.A few rare games implemented the parry quite well, but in all other instances it sucks.
>People who hate modding so much they conjure up scenarios in their head every single patch about mods and plugins being gone
>>737905218Cope, your cheats are finished
>>737905034That would be the interesting way to go about it, but also difficult to make work in the framework of the game, or any game. The most interesting way to handle that would be for Halmarut to be right, and that there really isn't a better solution, or at least that you can't just headbutt your enemy's cranium until they relent and then the day is saved.I expect the WoL to find a special, unique to them, third path where no one has to die and everyone is happy, however. They can't actually let the reflections merge in terms of game reasons, and I don't think they're willing to make the WoL accept those terms either.>>737905063That's basically exactly what previous Ascians preyed on (Ardbert, Durante), yes. The hero complex, wanting to save the world, only to doom it because they were misled or were gravely uninformed about what they were doing.
>>737905218to be fair all it would take to kill mods is for dalamud devs to be like "nah im done"its like 3 guys who hold it all together
>>737904934>Approaches amicably>Y'shtola immediately calls her out for funding and training terrorists like Calyx
Sex with my wife Zero
>>737904589The Ronkans reside in two reflections and were making headway into the source as well.
>>737903141dc + eb status?
>other shards have collaborators that even repulse CalyxOh, so we're getting some really fucked up assholes devoid of scruples.Surely we can at least murderfuck their eyesockets.
>>737903613It will be a twitch sub thing like the snowman and fat chocobo recolors they've done in the past.
>>737905254Coping pretty hard rn. I love the auto craft and auto gather. Auto duty is great and wrath combo are good too. I never cheat in pvp tho.
>>737905325It would would be forked and taken over by someone else immediately in addition to that, actual cheaters have their own version of it that is updated day one and has a serious amount of money poured into its development.
>make handsome bunboy>literally can't stop getting boners about the idea of me as the bnuuy railing and mating pressing the shit out of all the women quest givers in the game as rewardsit gets to a point you know

>>737902358Did you know Chort means “Devil” in Russian?Now you do!
>>737905448now that's a rare glubber
Yes, I do stop in the middle of the raid to read the lore notes. Yes, you can wait an extra 2 minutes.
>>737905463I'd say a more accurate translation would have been "Imp".
>>737905448how is she so erotic its insane
>>737905384Crystal and no EB
>>737905482Sure thing fren, but only if you share with the class on your thoughts about what you read.
I LOST OUT ON THE ROLL FOR THE OJOU SAMA EMOTE I'M GONNA FUCKING LOSE IT
Can't you just outrange the Solstice? Simply fly into space and wait for the planet to factory reset itself before returning.
>>737903141>smallEw
>>737905542Every man yearns for the slutty bookworm
I really like how they've made cutscenes a little more.. extravagant? There's the new DoF, of course. The ratio of voiced to unvoiced cutscenes being greater, the fact that they made a custom-ish animation to serve every job to some extent so the WoL could land the finishing blow in the 7.3 cutscene, the way they depicted how Y'shtola perceived Ethos, how they showed Etheirys distorted with shards overlapping it.I hope those are all things they'll bring into 8.0 as well, if not more.
>>737905614But what if she's actually just a normal, chaste bookworm?
>>737905598That'd only work for the Source, they could move to the moon for the next couple thousand years to survive it. Every other shard gets fucked.
>>737903726>”Yo just so you know haha we’re heading to the Fourth haha, here’s a short blurb about it”>”Not that you have anyway to shard travel haha”>”Btw did I mention I disagree with some of my fellows ideologically? Just saying
>>737902287ever since moving to eorzea and getting some real food, krile's discovered an unstoppable craving for calories
>>737905670>chaste bookwormNo such thing. Those sorts of girls are the ones making shit like Morning Glory Milking Farm a best seller.
>>737896156>Free MSQ skipplease god, I want to get an alt going
>>737902873there's a grace window of an hour or two now where you can still change your mind, infinite char-creator access during that time
>>737905670Yeah, like the other guy said, no such thing. If a woman is a bookworm, she's reading smut. That's what "bookworm" means for women. Chronic gooners.
>>737904828>>737904934>Lahabreadefeated (twice), not killed. Thordan anal vored him (thordan + primal + unsundered soul + dragon eye still jobbing to WoL should be a big red alert for any ascian at this point anyway)>Emet Selchdefeated, chose to be killed, is unironically immortal at that point>Elidibusdefeated and sealed. kills himself by his own choice when the WoL comes begging for help.The WoL is a giant doormat when it comes to ascians. even the black masks attack first forcing them to defend themselves. if she's scared of the WoL she is probably insecure about something.Bitch is likely hiding another bullshit ascian plot that will fall on top of her nerd ass.
>>737905734She's not hungry for worms.She's hungry for words.
I genuinely and wholeheartedly believe if mods come into these threads, they should ban people who avatar post, because it's very obnoxious. I'm sorry your life is so boring and awful that you have to use your character in an MMO to represent you in threads, and you need to let everyone know that.
Can anyone please tell me what the Nightworld is? Why is it linked between the Source and the First?
>>737903196More than three quarters of their population killed themselves overnight in the Anima incident
>>737904990>depending on how big the boss hitboxes are wait why does this matter? you can be inside the boss and still hit positionals as long as you're in the correct quadrant
>>737905948I've been reporting avatarfags in any thread I visit for years, and not a single one of them have ever been banned. That's gotta be the most selectively applied rule of all the things you can report posts for. I don't even bother anymore, because all it does is get (You) warned.
They're gonna make so much money selling new animations.
>>737905598As another dude said earlier, despite Zero being at the ass end of the universe, she still got yanked back to the 13th when Zenos bit it. For all we know, having even one counterpart left on a shard could have you yanked back and killed, even ignoring how hard it would be to evacuate 5 or so planet’s worth of people
>>737905939she can expand her brain *and* her waistline
>>737906074>As another dude said earlier, despite Zero being at the ass end of the universe, she still got yanked back to the 13th when Zenos bit it. For all we know, having even one counterpart left on a shard could have you yanked back and killedThat actually sounds fucked.
>>737905951>Can anyone please tell me what the Nightworld is? Your mom's house
>>737903196>They aren't a small community they are an entire fucking nation.They were an entire fucking nationWhen we went there it was a bunch of losers huddling in bomb shelters, shivering in dark, fruitlessly resisting their genocide.
>yfw Jullus becomes the face of the new magitek power armor tank class
>>737905865>>737905670This is a recent phenomenon though. Not something that represents the average bookworm in human history.Also that chart is funny on the male preference side because its such a cornucopia of different things. Philosophy and politics, religion and science, all up there with Comics and Graphic Novels, Sci-fi, and Horror.Its a shame how "Fantasy" has been completely twisted from what it once was or that would be higher on the Male reading chart than it is now.
>>737906195Eorzeans will never get to use powered armor because it is useless for them, when they can use aether manipulation to boost their physical abilityies to superhuman levels. Powered armor was developed to give Garlean officers and special forces a way to match that in the field.
>>737906242>This is a recent phenomenon though.All 3 of you haven't touched a book in months, you don't know reading trends among adult males, never you mind women.
>>737905951Nightworld coins are just an old currency used on the 1st. For whatever reason they decided to keep them as quest rewards post shb. Probably just to annoy people still bothering to do the weekly doman turn ins since it means you have to have multiple stacks.
>>737906061I still want a Nixie minion with Zero's hat.
>>737906119That’s not even thinking about how you’d handle the 13th; How the fuck do you get all these ultra self interested monster people to not try and kill and eat people, let alone each other?
>>737905989>>737906138>3/4thsHave we ever actually gotten a number on that or is this speculation?>>737906295>MonthsDo you think months is a long time kiddo?Also currently re-reading catcher in the rye just cause I was curious how I'd feel about it as an adult now. Not a very long book, but its what I'm currently reading.
>>737906272A power armor job where you can craft upgrades to your magitek mount that you fight with would be unbearably kino. We will never get it because it would be cool. We also deserve a playable moogle race, ivalice style ones that come from another shard or whatever.
>hey dumb fucker you can kill us and you can stroke your little hero ego but think about whether you might doom everything if you act solely to feed your own self-aggrandizing savior complex
>>737906272For Eorzeans it depends on how much of a loser they are aetherically, BLU has a nepo baby piloting salvaged magitek as a boss in Masked Carnivale
>>737906295I read 10~ books a month easily. Most of them are shitty LNs though.
>gotta stare at an unusable beastmaster icon for weeksI resubbed in to try this shit out and dip before the fanfest rugpull, who thought this was a good idea?
>they/them Enuo
>>737906010There are a lot of bosses that stand on top of death puddles to prevent exactly that type of cheese
>>737901026Dungeons had peaked in ARR where you could do a ton of cool shit depending on how good your group was, we do get the occasional good shit like that in newer dungeons like Mt. Gulg but most of the time you're just hard-locked into a slow, dull, trivial slog through the same tired old setup of packs with a new coat of paint.
>>737906295>you don't know reading trends among adult males, never you mind women.The current reading trends among adult women are monster romance books like Milking Farm. There was even recently a 40 year old woman who is suprisingly good looking for her age, and she is in love with her AI boyfriend whose fursona is an octopus and they have sex by writing monster smut together while the AI controls her lovense. That's what women are into nowadays. Young men who read books still read books by dead white guys, same as it ever was.
>>737906408Don't threaten me with a good time.
>>737906396>We also deserve a playable moogle raceYou deserve an execution by a firing squad.>>737906414True, but WoL isn't one, so it's pointless to get him something like that.
>>737906523>look at me>look at me>im zenos now
>>737906512Yea, we are not talking about the same thing.
>>737906560By that logic WoL should only be a Monk. Because using weapons is for pussies when you can just channel aether into your fists.
the queen is back
>Golbez has every opportunity to mention Scathach in the new patch>Doesn'tSky Pirates is never gonna be canon...
>>737894706It would be nice if SE made an private server for Vtubers to play 14 on. That way they can play the game however they want without having to worry about other players being dicks.
>>737906459What gear is BST gonna use anyway?
>>737906603Unironically yes.
>>737906635You can channel aether into a weapon too, but yeah, Machinist canonically is a bitch job when you can be a Black Mage or a Monk.

>>737906612Not that anon, but you could explain what you're talking about, though my assumption is you're talking about different mechanics than just fighting. Like using cannons and shit in the old 8-man MSQ dungeons like Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium. Or just full on stealthing past entire groups of mobs to get to the boss. Or even just boss to boss pulling and then having your DPS pull the boss while the tank positions just right to lock them out of the boss room.
>>737906523>Goes DRG in HW and MNK/SAM in SB to blend in with local cultures>DRK in ShB to stand against the light and PLD in EW to protect the world>Goes RPR in EC because it's fucking cold
>>737906764>hopefully its more sliders in general though still reasonableThat's the bigger reason the butt sliders excites me.Not because butt sliders, but because it could extend to other areas of the body.

>>737903315The au'ra dude in the trailer is clearly one of them.
>>737906798We just don’t knowThe soul(?) representation went up after we yanked his eyes off Estinien iirc, but it’s been implied Estinien has knowledge/insight from him.
>>737906783>Not that anon, but you could explain what you're talking about, though my assumption is you're talking about different mechanics than just fighting.Nope, I'm talking about the fights, because that's all dungeons have been for what? A decade now? I supposed I should have worded it more like: >"The redpill is that DT has had some of the best and most involved dungeon [fight/encounter] mechanics of all time."so that people didn't start bringing up branching paths that no one ever does which is the reason they don't exist anymore.
>>737904953>>737905034>>737905268Ethos tells you to accept your fate, might be a toll at the end of the road
>>737906798>where the fuck did Nidhogg's soul go? back to the dragon world? stuck in estinien's buttcheeks? the lifestream?He flew upwards, so maybe back to the Dragonstar.In 1.0, ARR, and HW there were a lot of hints that the Elementals were actually dragon souls that lingered around because they couldn't join the Source's Lifestream. If you go poke around Anyx Trine you'll notice they have names that sound very much like Padjali names, and the CNJ guildmaster immediately thinks Rielle's soul is an Elemental.

>>737906797as long as i can give whatever i happen to be playing big fat hips and thighs i will be happy>>737907045>he thinks it will be just a year
>>737906926Well fair. I agree with you that DTs are some of the best mechanically. I'm hoping we see a push toward a slight difficulty increase again. I don't expect anything actually "hard" in a dungeon. They want the LCD to be able to complete them, but he did say a while back that things being too easy is just boring and not fun, and with the job changes it seems like they might be freeing themselves up to do more unique mechanics with the fights.
>>737903413Shes a big girl for a femra
>>737907125Should be 13 months to 8.1 assuming they don't delay EC.

>>737907593god a WoW x FFXIV crossover event would be embarrassing on the western end
>>737907403Man, the beards in this game suck ass.
>>737907593I love to shit on WoW but this is infinitely better than the Apex one.Apex is such a disgusting looking game as far as character designs go.
>>737907421I'm glad they unlocked gear restrictions because the ARR bard top seems to be the only thing that actually matches the chest slider
>>737907673WoW you can at least tell what they're going for
>>737907593>>737907657I genuinely think a WoW x XIV crossover would straight up kill WoW.
We really only went to the Thirteenth to show off what the key could do, right?We couldn't go to the First because if we had any cause to do so, we could just go there via the Syrcus Trench - there already is a way for the WoL to get there.And there aren't any other reflections other than the Ninth the WoL could go to, so the Thirteenth was the best option.
>>737907671>I want options to make male characters wider and hairier. >I am straight
>>737907760>DRK gets a huge Frostmourne with new graphics, particle effects, etc.
>>737907218they got 3 ARs worth of gear to put in, they could be even further back than 8.1
>>737907593Human women just can't resist the Big Elf Cock.
>>737907776That and the 13th spilling over onto the Source is a good display of the calm before the storm, so to speak. Like before the Solstice you'll have void sent and sin eaters invading.
>>737907781Yeah. More masculine, you know? Without having to play a Highlander, Roe or Hrothgar.
>>737907776The 1st and 13th slowly fixing themselves will be an ongoing plot throughout the entire godless realms story arc. So much important stuff is locked behind the ShB role quests that I think they're just waiting until there's a job of every role that starts at 80+.
>>737907776We knew what the key did though since the Milala used it before, just now how they did it.We went there to understand what was occurring and give weight to Halmarut's warning that the shards were rejoining weather we like it or not. At least thats how I saw it.Has the added benefit of showing that Azem's stone is some how connected or required as well.
Azem you fuck stop whispering sweet nothings into my ear you deadbeat schizophrenic.
>>737907593There's a reason why they've never done a crossover, not because they're competitors, but because XIV would actually put in effort into making WoW look good while Blizzard would do the bare minimum and piss off both communities while doing so.
>>737907873>wow gets drachen armor at a lower fidelity than monhun world
>>737907979Actually a good point.You can't even play the trailer WoL if you wanted, because the fucker is basically built like a Highlander with the face of a Midlander.
>>737907979Why do you want more fantasy masculinity unless you're gay though?
>>737908137Don't worry bro, now you've got a mandate from god to go full autistic hobo and fuck anyone who says otherwise.
>>737904753I hope that's the direction they take the game, but who knows. The fact that the CEO of SE was on stage to announce they were increasing the level of support FF14 will receive leads me to believe they might have an ultimate goal of bettering the netcode in order to make that feasible.
>>737908308>Let none bar your path.Well, if you say so!Oh boy, here I go killing again.

>>737904228that's a later retcon to roll all of their tiny creatures into one racethey originally had yordles and meglings. meglings were tiny "blue" creatures. tristana was a megling (and presumably so was poppy), but this was retconned ages ago
>>737908880nta but i think he means "thematic to teleporting"idk, give me an azem's crystal themed portal animation that behaves like an ascian teleportation
Zero's voice acting sounded quite edgy this patch. It has a bit of a snarl to it, rather than the outright monotone I was used to from the 6.x patches.
>>737908981>nta but i think he means "thematic to teleporting"If Emet can do a snarky wave while he teleports away then why can't my fiddie WoL look cute while she teleports?
