>16 year old game>locked to 30FPS on 2025 consolelmaohttps://www.ign.com/articles/ffxiv-final-fantasy-xiv-director-confirms-switch-2-performance-and-mouse-keyboard-controls
they should make containment servers for switch 2 players, with netcode + lag + 30fps it's going to be a nightmare to play with them
>>737998253I will never understand why people are still purchasing Nintendo toys as adults.
>>737998865That's literally what dynamis is.
>>737999742Lol, 8.0 has cross-region matchmaking, it's doomed
I imagine most people will just use the switch 2 for dalies and other grind.
>>737999884I guess it would be really nice for stuff like grinding crafters, but then Nintendo demanded it to have a separate sub.
>>737998253>locked to 30FPS on 2025 consoleFairly sure he said 30fps was the bare minimum, not the max.
>>738001151Its half off if you've got a normal sub. I'm sure some people will pay an extra $6~ to gather while lying in bed.
What is even going on in Limsa?
>>738002005trans parade
>>738002116That's not WoW tho
>>738002274Which is why it's a trans parade.
>>738002758what the dog doing
>>738002721
>>738002941Who cares?
>>738001587I mean probably, people already double their sub fee by paying for a bunch of extra retainers.
Video game generals belong on vg

>>738003908Last fight was so dogshit I didn't both raiding this tier. Phase 2 is cool I admit but everything else really was retarded.
>>737998253lmao they started to viewbot their evercold trailer lmaohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk3rfUC80DE it went from 920k to 1,6m in 24 hours lol.
>>738006393Oh neat, people are stoked for Evercold.
>>738006393People are just now finishing the MSQ and watch the trailer again to remind themselves.
How many of you guys have actually played Natsuko Ishikawa's second claim to fame?
To which extent does FFXIV allow you to insult other people? I'm aware calling someone a nigger in-game will get me banned quick but is it risky to call someone a bitch or a retard?
>>738008702best you can do is backhanded complimentshurt anyone's feelings in any capacity is enough for GMs to drop the hammer on you
why do I see people talking about bringing zenos back? Ishikawa, Yoshida, and many players all hate Zenos.Digging up Zenos again to appeal to his mentally ill fanbase after the catastrophe of DT would be the most desperate thing they've ever done.
>>738009190XIV players are mentally stunted and can't understand what Halmarut was saying by bringing him up.
>>738008702no extent. saying "bad words" means GM action usually. can't hurt people's feelings at all cuz the game is full of trannies and furries.
>>738008702you're gonna have to learn to be petty and catty. think like a jap. my personal favorite 'fatfingering rescue' if you apologize for it then they can't do shit
dead game8 more months of sloptrail
>>738003918the arcadion was good until the limp fart ending
>>738009190Seething tranny with father trauma.
>>738009237i agree. to me it means the writing is back on track if it filters 75% of peoplethis is the face of our salvation
Stable 30FPS is more than I got with some raids on my shitbox computer at the time of Stormblood, don't see a problem
>>738010317this. i raided ARR-the start of SHB at 30 fps on my ancient computer. a computer so old that it crashed during the post Hades trial cutscene
>>738008702It depends entirely on whether you're reported for itYou won't get instantly thrown to gay baby gaol even if you're reported (that comes when the report is responded to) but you have to keep in mind you're playing Russian roulette every time you do it
>>738009190>Yoshida hates ZenosHe was just saying that for the laughs because they asked him about butt sliders, and he said it'd be difficult, and then they replied that "Zenos has it, so why can't the player?" And then a little later, they did the same thing when long hair was asked for and he explained that it requires quite a lot of work and might clip.So he said, "Don't bring up Zenos again. I hate Zenos." Or something along those lines.But I agree, Halmarut bringing up Zenos isn't a "Zenos is back!" It's just stating that rather than thinking about the pros and cons of something, the WoL might doom all to serve his hero complex, whereas Zenos nearly doomed all to serve his own lust for battle.
>>738009190Most people dropped the game before the new villains appeared and don't know who they are. Evercold's premise is unknown to them.
>>738010473nearly 800k people being illiterate doesn't translate to what you're saying
>>738010231It was pretty cut and dry “start measuring the weight of your actions because the consequences may be dire” or even a “ people might rise up against you to stop you”
>>738010517You're assuming people who stopped playing the game have stopped talking about it, that's your mistake.
>>738010560imagine if she successfully rips the fabric of the scions. that is a line a few of them would cross and some would never. i think even the twins would be divided
>>738008702There's a wide gap between rules as written and as enforced. As written, pretty much even innocuous swearing *can* get you dinged. But in true Jap fashion they intentionally made the report form as cumbersome as they possibly could to reduce the number of reports that people actually complete, so whether whatever you've done is enough to reach a GM depends entirely on how deranged the person who believes you've transgressed against them is.
>>738010648Somehow Lyse will return to stop and have a think about it
erm they should keep the graphic requirements low so i can play it on my laptop
>>738010648That's never going to happen, SE management will never allow them to jeopardise the standing of Merchandiseable Character. The "rivalry" in Dawntrail is the extent you can expect them to ever oppose the audience.
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/2026/The_Maidens_Rhapsody/p3aora58ehzn Iroha event is coming back again
>>738010958Time for the end-of-expac specials
>>738011019yeah i'm expecting a replay of most of em. shantotto's event might come back too
>>737999884I would if you didn't need to pay $6 a month extra to do it. It's such an awful deal, requiring NSO would have been $20 a year vs $72. Potentially less with a family plan.
>>738011106What prompted this post, bot?
>mfw a bitch badmouths chort
>>738010941i'm not talking of a permanent thing. more of a 'i'm going to walk into this azem portal, and i'm gonna help end the world. if you are strong enough to join me, then follow'g'raha, krile, yshtola, alisaie and thancred wouldn't follow. though if you could guarantee the safety of the natives, all the scions would follow
>>738011163An insane person accusing me of being a bot, I'm honored
>>738011190chort XD
They need to remove the arbitrary reward limit for alliance raids. Everyone knows it’s just for glamour and that isn’t going to dissipate. People still regularly run SB-EW alliance raids for fun/glams
>>738011226look at this chortless bitch
>>738011280raises up sporki'm chorting lol
>>738011348HAARRGGGHHHH I'M CHORTING
>>738011082AHHHH JUST THINKING ABOUT IT PISSES ME OFF. EVEN THE $50 NSO WOULD BE CHEAPER THAN THIS CURRENT MODEL.
>>738011403The chort is with him.
>>738009190Anyone who hates Zenos is an idiot.
>>738011604I hate pre EW zenos
>>738011604>no u cant not like my favorite wombler bcuz that is not heckin wholesome chungusZenos fans
Somehow Zenos returned
>>738011829>I hate how this dude who just doesn't give a fuck ass blasted me like three times>>738011934Speak english, faggot.
>>738011829Dude got denied some character development he sorely needed with the lack of a Garlemald expansion but I also can't say for certain if he'd necessarily be deeper than what we actually got out of him. Obviously they'd have followed up on Zenos' Final Days dreams better instead of dropping that plot point entirely and maybe his bancho Samurai costume would have seen some use. But I think they might have partially dropped it too because the obvious "mantle Zodiark or Hydaelyn and you mantle the other god or otherwise have its strength" would be a bit too obvious and maybe too reflective of FFXI granting you godhood for a split second at the end
>>738011604my character dislikes him and chose 'i'm sick of you, i'm putting you down'i think he is one of the better characters in the MSQ and has the perfect ending>>738011958had some faggot say this in novice network on tuesday and he got dogpiled
>>738012010I'm telling you you're a dumb faggot and that Zenos fans are insufferable.
>>738011829I hate EW Zenos because he had zero character development. It gave me some hope in SB patches but it all was pointless.
>>738012035Yeah, he doesn't need to come back. He was a fun foil for SB and EW, and that final story duty was perfection, but all be should be going forward is someone occasionally mentioned and referenced.
>>738012234amazing. somehow he missed Alisaie getting under his skin
anyone else managed to find the clytoris yet
this fight was sick as fuck
>>738011604base stormblood Zenos was perfectly fine. Dragged the character out way too far past his expiration.
>>738012013If they did a garlemald expansion and actually did anything with him I'd be less harsh on him but I didn't want a garlemald expansion anyway so I'm content with just thinking he's shit as is. Given that it is completely wild that they jam the very final moments of EW with that quirk chungus becuase they couldn't decide what to do with him years ago.
I don't get the chort meme
>>738014120he's the dark not-janny. the shitposter that tries to ruin discussion with his Basic Vomit. its very easy to label anyone you don't like as Chort, and its funny
>>738014120Lil' nigga mooj but newerPersonally prefer "chort" being the primal exultation of somebody trying and failing to shit up a thread
>>738014120There's nothing to get, he's a cool guy.
just chorted my jorts
>>738014271Was it stinky?
>>738014120He's just Chort.Nothing to get.
>>738003089apparently you >>738002116
>>737998865Or maybe they should take steps towards making the game more playable on higher pings
>>738009846The way people talked about it I expected worse, but man it's fucked brute bomer appears after the fight when the setup was right there to have him appear and interrupt the lindwums regeneration during the fight, I can only imagine it was the plan but they got spooked by the reaction to Wuk Lamat in the interphos, both of 7.5s instanced things did cool stuff with NPCs though.
>>738014725If they were spooked by Wuk Lamat I think they'd have completely canned the idea of NPCs intervening in any way to be desu
>>738014508it already has a built in 400 ms delay. how much more do you need?
>>738014725if Brute Bomber could do anything to help in the battle vs the Lindwurm they'd have already tried it before we were part of the plan
>>737998253>imagine playing anything not Mario related on a N*ntendo console
>>738003908>mount has the tyrant themethank godI'm a little disappointed it's not the phase 2 theme but they rarely if ever put the phase 2 music on a mount anyway so it's understandable
>>738011482I might sub for a month on occasion if I am going to be away from home for an extended period but I certainly wouldn't stay subbed, hopefully I would be able to have the timing different between the 2 subs though, it would suck if the week I was away from home had my main sub renew in the middle of it and that forced me to sub on switch for 2 months.But then again you still have to buy the game itself as well right (at least I am pretty sure it's like that for all extra platforms so switch as well I assume)
>>738014508people with higher pings need to accept that they can't play some jobs like ninja, like how people with bad pings couldn't play rogue in wow during vanilla
>>738015139>But then again you still have to buy the game itself as well rightYou will, yeah. A used UMPC is probably a better idea than the Switch 2 version. It's a massive fumble, the Switch 2 edition only serves to benefit new users.
>>738015170ninja isn't that bad any more. machinist is probably still undoable with high ping. gunbreaker might be if you're ultra concerned about using defensives during continuation
>>738015334Machinist does in fact still suck ass at high or very high ping, Eureka Orthos with a friend on Materia after it allowed everybody as a DC travel whore was why I started using NoClippy
>>738014120Striking design, memorable fight with the rapid towers being unusual for a 4 Man dungeon, sounds vaguely like chud if you squint, not the first but one of the first bosses encountered in the post fanfest reinvigoration of the community.
>>738015170weaving basically feels like you're living on top of the server as long as i play with two fucking third party tools in the background. aoe snapshots are still a bitch
>>738014981Nobody before that point got lindwurm as on the ropes as it was when it first looked defeated
>>738015528The console players are cucked and can't use the third party plug ins.
>>738014508>adding a timed parry mechanic to tanks and the entire US east coast still has bad ping Yeah I don't think they're gonna start caring about ping.
>>738016368It's a 4 second parry window.
Held out for this long but think I'm gonna pull the trigger and get DTWanted to try OC and BST anyways, might as well do everything else new first while I wait for their additions
>>738016440Still not subbing btw
>>738015568yeah, which is why they all came in after we 'killed it' twice
>>738016398samurai's third eye has 4 seconds. not like its undoable as its on a dps class
>>738016440At absolute worst you've got a butt-ton of MSQ to work through it's nowhere fucking near as bad as threads like to say lol
>>738016496Oh I'm serious>>738016892I skip all cutscenes anyways, probably won't feel any different than any other expac MSQ
>>737998253WENZ PLOGONS
>>738017047It's always depressing to see I've subbed to this tranny game for ~3300 days
>>737998253Can plugins come back already?I refuse to do Dawntrail content unless I have BossMod and Wratchcombo with me.
Hardware questionSay I wanted to play on an ultrawide on max settings. Currently running these stats (it was a free prebuild as a gift so whatever), and I was curious if anyone here would know what I would need minimum to get a consistent 60fps.
>>738017187Looks like 2640 puts me in the $1k clubDoesn't feel good
>>738017374Like obviously I want to upgrade, I just don't know what to upgrade /to/, you know?
>>738002005Some trans rally
>>738017351Imagine using plug-ins but getting outparsed by clickers
>they / them Enuo
>>738015469>sounds vaguely like chud if you squintanon ...
Evercold is HYPEGame is SAVEDWe are so BACK
>>738018128Yes chort we know you're trying to play both sides to shit up the threadNo chort we will not get excited for evolved jobs so you can make fun of valid balancesisters

>>737998253>killing the PS4 version in two years>future Switch 2 supportWhat in the fuck is SE doing?
>>738018445base PS4 is running out of RAM
>>738018445it ain't gonna do shit. ending support for ps3 didn't magically combine city districts that were separated by screens.
>>738018445PS4 keeps getting OS updates to draw RAM away from background and OS functions so FFXIV can have it, and it's still not enough. Switch 2 has more RAM than PS4.
>>738018661"I want seamless zones like my flippin open world games" is pretty obviously not the point of allocating more RAM
>>738018749You should aim your seething at the dev team who started making giant city zones the moment PS3 support was dropped.
Ohhhhhh ho ho ho ho!I'm enjoying XIV a lot again and DT is finally ending, it's gonna be a good year when EC releases.
See you fuckers in whatever the 79 dungeon and probably maybe trial are.
>>738019079Stay on /vg/ you disgusting freak.
The game is probably just getting 2 more expansions after evercold and done>evercold, 8.0 january 2027>9.0 summer of 2029>10.0 January 2032 with content for two more years, 2034
>>738015334How do you figure out if you have high ping or not?
>>738009190He should have stayed dead the first time. Perfect one expansion character arc ruined.
>>737998253will they forever stick with this dogshit engine that can't do anything
I hate that they kept bringing back Zenos while ignoring my beloved Fordola.
>>7380175379800X3D + 5070/5080 is all you need for 99.99999999999% of all games at 4k ultra
>>738019693She's busy being a caregiver
>>738019221too bad, cuck.
>>738019693>Fordola's VA said she recorded a ton of lines for 6.0>none of it was used
>>738019079kill yourself.
Officially weaker than the PS4 version, let alone the PS4 Pro. Let's not forget that it'll still dip below 30 in high end raids.
>>738019312Plenty of things left to explore, there are still two more shards (Fire and Wind) after the fourth depending on how things go. Meracydia, Hingashi, Bifrost and then we have plotlines like Ultima (the seraph) which could be explored. Plenty of other places on the map as well we've not gone near. If we do get a whole rejoining happening we'll have a whole new planet to explore. They'll keep going if it still makes them money
>>738016892>its nowhere near as badyes it is, I have no clue what would prompt you to say that
the combat feels like shit in this game you press a button and damage appears there's 0 fucking thought to any feedback there's no feeling you did damage
>>738018445isn't the switch 2 more powerful than a base ps4?
>>738019693Fordola is legitimately the hottest girl in the game. I miss her.
>>738014508The game literally gives tanks 15 seconds to get to a designated spot for their raid party. Lag isn't the issue.
>>738020306Yes, it's the PS4 "Pro" folks seething that their console really isn't the specialist boy in the world anymore.
>>738019079get naked you strange whore
>we built a kaijuNoice.
>>738019693both are awful and should have stayed in stormblood. Yotsuyu the only stormblood villain with the sense not to overstay her welcome and she's the best one.
>>738007315Isn't the PC/NA version all fucked up? I can't remember if this was the game that removed the touching minigame or if that was another one.
>>738020306Yeah it's a beefier system and has more RAM, it's somewhere between PS4 Pro and Xbox Series S off the top of my head
>>738020306switch 2 can run phantom liberty. ps4 cannot.
>>737998865No one outside of Japan is buying this because of the double sub fee.
someone in my FC sent me a tell saying another member of our FC died and i had no idea how to reply
how do i get a hamarut gf
>>738020920It's only a double sub if you plan on playing on other platforms. If you're a Switch 2 only there's no difference for you.
>>738020930if you knew them then show your condolences otherwise who cares
Is it easier to appear to be a shitter as a Dancer or Viper?
>>738020995it's also a 1.5x sub and not 2x
>>738020930ask them if we can use Zodiark to bring them back
>>737998253>nintendo hasn't made a to spec console in 25 yearswhat did you expect idiot?

>>738021316>if you like Halmarut, you’re “Pablo”Why is the 4chan Movement so hung up on race? Has the movement not progressed since 2016?
>>738021502>replying to a schizo
>>738020306The big difference between the PS4 and Switch 2 is that the Switch 2 has a SSD so it can load everything faster, the PS4 is getting left behind because it has a HDD which means slower asset streaming(aka more pop ins). There was a really good video of a monk doing Jeuno on PS4 but I can't find it, it must be unlisted. Nothing spawns in and he dies to invisible enemies because it takes so long to load everything in.
>>738021502Let me guess, you also didn't even know Rich streamed the fanfest...Pablo you have to grow the fuck up and get with the program

Where plogon?
so when evercold goes up for pre-order, can I just buy that and play through DT, or will DT only be rolled into evercold when 8.0 comes out?
>>738012234Endwalker has him reflect on how awful of a friend he's been
>>738023234When 8.0 comes out.
>>738023234you should be raped in hell by dogs for even considering pre-ordering a video game
>>738023234I think it only works once 8.0 releasesBut I'm not 100%
>>738023234the latter, though early access for preorder/CE also works as full registration once EA goes live
I just want to see the scene of Zenos trying to get past the Sharlayan customs lala
>>738023286I'm preordering the Collector's Edition :)
>Try to reclear before plugins get updated>People suddenly can't do Hell in a CellCurious, very curious
>>738023286Good job revealing yourself as a total non-player.
they should just cut console play entirely
So since they're stealing all of the community mods and making them actual game features bit by bit when will they steal the one that makes the latency not feel like shit

>>738004881Damn, really appreciate the graphic update when you see those models up close.
>>738023701>>738023646
I gave another look over at the zones they've shown off and honestly? They look incredibly bland and boring. The only zone that looks interesting is the World Serpent one. The rest look even worse than Endwalker zones, it looks like they've fucking regressed. I hope to christ these are just early versions and they're going to keep working on them.
>>738023357Are you really surprised? I'd wager in at least 95% of all duties in this game, at MINIMUM two people are outright cheating with plugins that play the game for them.

>>738025212theyre just rushing through the dt hiroi slop for 8.0. Halibut will be comlpetely retconned and rewritten for 8.0
>>738021316Halmarut isn't a hebe
Who is least popular in crystaline conflict, Reaper, Samurai, or Red mage?
>get promised in 7.1 we'll get to spend time with ysthola a lot>8.0 it will be her as a fucking super hagfucking shit dt was so bad.
>>738019693Should have adopted Fordola into the Scions. She has a unique ability, backstory and motivation.
HASH TAG NOT MY FOOKIN' HYDAELYN!
Do we know who is writing Evercold? I don't think so but just thought I'd double check
>>738025504hopefully not maehiro (ff 16 was trash story and world buildling wise) hiroi (enough said) Werlyt fag (that shit was lazy) the fucking hildibrand writers have more respect for the world than these faggots.
>>738024695>show up on a whim just because you got your magic JO crystal and it allowed you to travel to the Thirteenth>meet with Zero and Golbez>they're dealing with this dude>Good timing, can you deal with him?>Proceed to push his shit in while he rambles about his supreme power and how nothing can stop him and how everything shall be hisYou literally just showed up out of nowhere, with no explicit aim to fight him other than Zero pointing his way, and ruined his day
>>738025708thats not as offensive as zero going welp im back to reaper now. at least save some shit for 8.0
Something I've noticed in the past few months is that there's rarely any mount farms for fights before DT. I guess pretty much everyone finished up EW?
>>738025791they just wanted to show everyone who thinks her Reaper look is superior (anyone who has a brain) that she can still go back to it.
>>738025212I'm convinced this patch was something different and Enuo used to be attached to Occult Crescent.
>>738025851>hat returnsZEROMUS ZEO OMEGA SOON
>>738025874good chance of thatit makes me wonder what the part 2 of the MSQ could even bewe know what the issue is, and we even know where we're going next (we already from fanfest, but I mean Calyx even said it outright)
>>738025972They didn't show any of it in the patch trailer, and there's Berlin FanFes before it happens so there's a chance they're hiding something. But I expect it'll just be Estinien returning, then thinking up a plan of how to get everyone else to the Fourth.
>>738025886It was funny to me how many people I've seen look visibly disappointed when they had that reaper at the very ending, because they were thinking>"oh not fucking Zero"Then the reveal of who it truly was and they all 10/10 people who I've seen watching the trailer got hyped.
>>738026113>entire second part is just hunting Estinien downkek
>>738025972hopefully calyx death. some stupid look at the moon like shb and this patch 4 months of waiting as its all retconned.
>>738026175We gotta help Calyx backstab one of his colleagues first.And then he dies.
>>738026165zeros there for a reason . either to learn the putting aether cum into crystals and reusing her animation when teh wol kills the big skyrim mystery niggas to get their essence or whatever in each zone.

>>738025791>>738025851When they made it clear Jullus has a crush on Zero I was actually thinking >poor bastard doesn't know his goth gf isn't edgy anymore>two scenes later she turns back100% he asks her to keep the hat on when they fuck
>>738026359im so glad alphinauds done with garleslop after 2 expansions what a terrible holding pattern.
YoshiP give us Sphene, Zero, Ryne and Gaia, and my life is yours.
How are the dungeon ques for dps for leveling right now? I might just wait until the cross region matchmaking stuff is implemented for datacenters but nobody has responded on /vg/ when I went there to ask, they just kept posting about avatars and porn. I see why /vg/ is hated as much as it is.
>>738026416>last thing we see with speen is her life controlled by some ugly bastard malezen. jesus christ. what a bad end.

>>738026891so i play the game now? interesting
>>738026432Imagine manually leveling your jobs and not using AD with trusts....
I don't think Evercold is going to be dealing with zero or the thirteenth at all so very odd to spend most of the final patch and the final trial on that exclusively.
>>738020882The Switch 2 is obviously stronger than a 12 year old console, but claiming it can run phantom liberty is a huge stretch. It plays it at 20 fps(with constant dips) with 99.5% of the npcs removed.
>>738003089
Dropped in 7.1 and am back.I'm going through post DT msq, and the jump up in cutscene quality as I progress is noticeable and most cutscenes are voiced. I'm in the 9th lala town and the scene with lumull failing to turn on his aether tracker looked damn good. I hope it's a hint of what to expect with EC.
>>738027045>We want something that is relevant to shards and shard hopping>But we already had a bunch of patches about the Ninth alone>And we can't do anything with Tural because people fucking hate that place>And there's no need to open a portal to the First, because the Warrior of Light can already travel there>Why not check in with Zero, I guessThat is what I assume.
pluginbros we're back
>>738027045were using her memoriate skills to do things and to see how the 13th is doing for whatever later as well. im sure in 8.5 some mystery nigga dragons will call us to merycydia so we can see tiamat and azdaja in femra avatars.
>>738027313>I'm going through post DT msq, and the jump up in cutscene quality as I progress is noticeable and most cutscenes are voiced.Yeah, 7.0 and 7.1 is the pits, and then 7.2 they try again and it gets better gradually in terms of cinematography and # of voiced cutscenes.>I hope it's a hint of what to expect with EC.Same, but I'm not gonna assume that yet. Patch stories are way shorter than expansions, so it's easier to make more stuff in a patch custom than like... 15+ hours of expansion MSQ.We'll have to see what they do, and I hope that they make the expansion MSQ a bit shorter.
>>738002941Vol'jin died for this
Plugin this, reclear that.I just want to grill
>>738027639Im vegan actually, it’s a healthier alternative than eating living creatures.
>>738023701They just released the stable branch. CHEATS ARE BACK YAYY
>>738025471The Scions suck and the story has always been better when we've been split up from them on a seperate adventure (max one story-relevant scion present) with no nagging to go report into our boss every 5 minutes.
I was enjoying like 50% of aether being gone because they can't play without cheats, it really filters out the shitters.
So you saved the world and ended the threat of the final days and cleaned up after the ass scions? Acthually the winterers (whomstve) are gonna fuck everything up and Emet fucking Selch didn't mention a word about them to you.
>>738025685>16 was trashWhat, you don't like a world where the PEOPLE WHO CAN USE MAGIC are THE SLAVES?
>>738027796Xiv had one of the best stories ever. I watched all the cutscenes for the msq. Very good work.
>>738025471>>738027796>some dumb cunt with a "fake" echonah you guys are faggots the only bad scion character is alisaie whos only trait is screeching cunt arc.
>>738027878it was boring and stupid indeed. great music and graphics though. A waste of resources.
>>738025185what goes through your head when you type like that, with dots and dumb pauses?this is 2010 teenager behavior
So I got fed up with 7.1-whatever it was before .5, why did living memory get turned back on? I'm glad they did it, that area was beautiful and the sole redeeming quality it had was that it looked nice. So turning it all off to "say goodbye" to the endless or whatever and making it ugly sucked. I just skipped all the cutscenes cause I was sick of Sphene and Wuk, so why did it get turned back on?
>>738019079Garrote your throat.
>>738027841aiieee they followed through on shadowbringers saying it wasn't possible for the unsundered to be perfectly aware of fourteen separate dimensions' goings on
>>738028035Because the zone looked liked shit with the lights off.
>>738027985IMAGINE if they had taken all that fucking money on 16 and poured it into 14 instead. Anyone else finish the XI raid? Do you get the feeling that they are setting up some big XI mash up with XIV? You keep getting hinted that there will be a way for your 14 character to visit Vana'diel, and I seem to remember that the original plan was to connect XI and XIV together so you could log into either world. Maybe they will do it? God that would be incredible.

Didn't watch the live letter or keynote, just absorbed information through /v/ osmosis.Is it true that BLU isn't getting any new spells before EC releases?
>>738028337Retard
I'm ok with that as long as it looks good. Motion blur seems to look better at 30fps. And thigns in general. I rather play Rage 2 at 30fps, for looks, but aiming is much better at 60fps, though I think 60 fps is still insufficient. Layered frames can cure that so can have a virtually higher framerate. Only need to be moving around look at a higher framerate. Not everything in a frame has to be updated to the same degree as the centre of the screen or where you are aiming.I got stuck at the start. I refuse to join a guild, outside of the carpenters guild. Rather use a sword but chose a staff. Rather be battling people than animals, monsters etc. Combat seems stupid, just using abilities and waiting for cooldowns. hAD GREAT GRAPHICS IN CHARACTER creation, probably able to have such in play thoigh maybe not on console, or not at the starting area. Too zoomed out. No option to zoom in and have camera low, looking up. Character would obscure screen. Need to have gameplay around that. Like see something from a distance, highlight it or not, go to it without seing it untill it's close.

>>738026735divine /v/ for answers
>>738028035>why did living memory get turned back on?The system has to be running for people to be able to get their memories of their loved ones that passed on back. Bonus is that they can now just keep it running because it's no longer keeping anyone on life support.>I'm glad they did it, that area was beautiful and the sole redeeming quality it had was that it looked nice.It looks better after 7.3 than before you turn it off, too. They retextured some of the buildings and they look less flat. https://youtu.be/XCORxxI06dQ?t=6034
>>738028457yes BLU won't get an update this expac, BST ended up needing too much work and it's probably getting rushed out the door a bit as it is since it's a 7.56 feature
>>738028337Aside from the nft faggotry, there's nothing wrong about anything else he did.Why wouldn't a ceo try to make a game they're making succeed?Why wouldn't a media publisher allow experimentation so long as they don't require a massive budget?As bad as flopspoken was, he wasn't the ceo at the time.
>>738028560Fuuuuck that really sucks. I was planning on using the hype from new BLU spells to find a group to get the old achievements with. FUUUUUUCK.
>>738028537Oh I see. What a good reason to turn it all back on. Maybe I should have watched the cutscenes. But at the same time, no thanks. Glad I'm done with dawntrail.
>>738020920>No one outside the second biggest vidya market
>>738027928Most of the scions are unchanging mascots who show up to exposite some boring nonsense and then fuck off until their next cameo. Nothing interesting has happened in the group since Urianger's fake ass betrayals got old ten years ago. Thancred at least had his own arc in ShB but he might as well have died in that fake out at the end, his story is over.It's a TV show that's been running too long, with an established cast that have become furniture in the way.
>>738026735Be quiet, would ya? Adults are posting here.
Today is Yoshi-P's birthday
Is it too late for me to get into OC?
>>738028707Generally, I think they just wanted to turn it on because people didn't like the grey and dead digi-graveyard, but the story reason is alright. The terminal is what keeps the memories from fading, so I guess it's also something capable of sending a signal to wipe people's minds of their memories of the deceased.I assume it might be automated in that sense.>suddenly bombs people with the memories of those they lost
>>738028848This is your EB for tonight.

>>738029005It's the only grinding content of the expansion and people are moving out to the second zone of it in at the end of July so this is the best moment to join.

this big fish shit might be a little too much for me ngl you sit on your ass for half an hour, press 1 button every 15 seconds and then 2 buttons every minute and then and if you're lucky you might see the !!! pop up once and then if you're really fucking lucky you might even catch itthis is just miserable

>>738006393Buddy everyone is talking about Evercold again. Coupled with Blizzard absolutely shitting the bed with patches, increasing the WoW sub price and releasing a $75 housing bundle all within weeks of each other, another perfect storm is brewing.
Is the Eva raid just gonna be 'We found NERV inside of an ice cave on the 4th' or will they tie it into the actual game story somehow? Maybe have the 'Angels' be giant Sineater's invading from the 1st as an excuse to get Ryne and Gaia to wear plugsuits.
>>738031252Aren't two of the reflections so completely fucked they're worthless and full of nothing but aspected aether
>>738031136you have to be 18 to post here althobeit
Im only returned because TurtleWoW got taken down :(
>>738031063Lad... I know some of you here really are from low IQ countries but come the fuck on.The expansion is releasing in January of 2027, it's May of 2026 now.May - June - July - August - September - October- November - December - January.
>>738031363So 2 more weeks
>>738031331Presumably there's some way to try to restore that, or we wouldn't have left Zero to try and see. Even if it's fucked, they still exist to get dragged into the Solstice eventually, which just adds even more "end the world" to the end of the world. At that point you either find a restoration, or you axe them from the combination entirely somehow.
>>738031363>low IQ countries Name 3>USA>Australia >Yuropa
Surely they'll release Evolved mode a few months ahead of the expansion so that we have time to actually play around with it. Surely.
>>738031192imagine caring about that shit.you literally can just ignore it it's something you don't have to engage with at all.
>>738031329The Ultima Warrior will play a role, so it will have to be on the Source. Probably what's below crystal lake
>>738031438why would they do that?
>>738009190The shard we're going to already has an Odin so it's gonna end up having a battlesexual Thor as well, and while the game will never outright confirm it we'll all know he's Zenos' shard.
>>738031438Nah, doesn't seem that way.Cross-DC PF they will actually release before 8.0 so they talked about it. Evolve seems to be firmly in the 8.0 camp.
>>738010958the magic is gone because now everyone can say "oh it was electrope"
>>738031521The striking dummies are gonna be packed on 8.0 release
>>738031438I think a couple weeks before release would be cool, sort of like how wow does the prepatch changes before the actual expansion release. Though to be honest how difficult could evolved really be?
>>738031546Iroha was the real deal, though.
>>738031572get one for your house
>>737998253>16 year old game that still gets expansions in modern day with a consistent community behind itLike or loathe XIV. Its gotta be doing something right if they're still supporting it for this fucking long.

>>738031631they kinda have to. the game singlehandedly draws in 40% of the company revenue so they can even do other shit. it taking a big dive this expansion has them scuttling to try to unfuck the boat leak so they can try to keep coasting along, because if it goes down, the company kind of eats shit.
>>738031698queue up for a dungeon on explorer mode and drop a dummieyou get to try your LBs as well
>>738031746I'll be realI forgot that existednice
>>738031675Electrope has many uses
>>738020306It is. FF14 PS4 ran at an uncapped 60fps, but barely kept it. Even if the Switch 2 is powerful enough, by virtue of being a handheld, the CPU power usage is limited. So they probably decided to keep it at 30fps.
>About to beat the base arr story>Still have the post arr story to doHoly fuck man this shit took me 6 fucking days. Only to find out I have even more of this stuff to get through.
>>738031797iroha is here from the real XI world because atomos will eat her thanks to being a real paradox, it's the raid that's electrope
>>738020920>double sub feeIt's $6, literally half, math anon.
>>738025791>expecting a cool Holy Reaper kinda deal>its literally jsut her going back to her old fitLame.
>>738031438If SE was smart that is what they'd do but they're not smart and everyone will get it on 8.0 release. It's retarded imo everyone with a brain knows the new system will be the standard going forward so why not give players a taste of it now before it launches to gain feedback to something that is going to be getting tweaked a month or two after 8.0.
>>738031631People don't like hearing it, but XIV is, even during a maligned expansion, one of the bigger and more popular MMOs out there.Of course not WoW level, but it's nothing to sneeze at, and it makes Square Enix a lot of money.I also think it has a minor bit of "too big to fail" going on. Like yeah, people will leave if things decline too much, but I'm sure there's a hard core of people who will play for as long as Square lets them, as there is with WoW. Not to the same extent, mind you. But still notably so.
>>738031897*turns electrope into Iroha*
>>738031886Post-ARR story definitely is a kick in the nuts after finishing 2.0.Try to do it at your own pace, though. And if it gets frustrating, try to do something else, like fishing or Gold Saucer, or Palace of the Dead for a bit.

>>738032047I'm not.I'm saying even in DT, it's the second or third biggest MMO around.Evercold isn't even entering into this conversation.
>>738031886it's ten years of game, unironically
>>737998253I don't get how people a game with 24+ mandatory keybinds on a controller, that sounds stressful as shit unless you get a custom controller.
>>738031192It really is impressive how much the WoWfag projects
>>738031957I mean it's plainly just a bad idea to force players to spend 10 minutes redoing their hotbar right at the start of an expansion. You'd just end up with a ton of players going 'Ehhh I wanna start the MSQ I'll just stick with reborn mode for now' which would be a terrible first introduction for their new system.
>>738032047You've got a really fucking weird definition of life support
>>738032047>it's still on life support
>>738031957>It's retarded imo everyone with a brain knows the new system will be the standard going forward so why not give players a taste of it now before it launches to gain feedback to something that is going to be getting tweaked a month or two after 8.0.I'm not against what you're saying. But the fact is we got 2 or so full years of giving players a taste, because I'm pretty sure they're gonna use whatever feedback they get in all of Evercold to decide where they go with regard to the Reborn/Evolve system.
>>738032013I wouldn't mind it but the story definitely is a roller-coaster. Some parts really draw you in and want to continue on, and then there are parts where I REALLY REALLY want to skip the cutscene because you have that monotonous OST playing only to be told to go visit this fucktard over here gather something that takes 10 second to gather but there are three of those items. Like holy fuck man what is this bullshit. I'm on the free trial so no money lost for me but damn man this shit feels like a slog sometimes. The best part was entering the winter area and trying to oust some heretic only to be thrown away from that, I want to go back to the winter area with the dragons.
>>738032170>already memory holing ~3 years >>738032165
>>738032143Cross hotbar just werks>dpad + abxy/shapes = 8 inputs>shoulders and triggers all bring up a different button layer>8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 40 hotbar keys on a controller setup
>>738030138It was there on 10, don't know about 11
>>738032227A lot of people left DT. Doesn't mean the game's dead or dying in terms of life support. EC's announcement already got a ton of people back, if largely to try to get DT out of their way in prep.
>>738032143Its really not. The controller shit works really good. Basically you just use L2/R2 as modifiers like alt or control on a keyboard. So x is 1 button, x+L2 is a different one, and so on.
>>738030639>as esteemed as EvangelionEvangelion has had promotional material on everything from pudding cups to tampons
>>738032252Oh, I couldn't find it on 10 so I assumed it was 11.(I'm a recalcitrant person who refuses to upgrade.)
>>738032289Proof?
>>738007315Is this a good game even?
>>738032289People talking about Dawntrail like it's an inbred child in the basement and not a filler arc is really funny to me
>>738032163I get that but also reborn is literally 16 buttons. You can put the whole reborn system on the starting gamepad and never have to use the bumpers to switch. I don't think it'll take that much time redoing hotbars.
>>738032215>Some parts really draw you in and want to continue onThat's well. For me, it took until Heavensward patches until I was really like, "Okay, now I want more." If you already get that feeling a bit, I'd say that's a positive.>that monotonous OSTMachinations? There's gonna be a lot of that one to the point that it's a community meme. They made a new version of in Dawntrail, in fact. (Doesn't sound the same, just has a similar usage and has the same naming convention in Japanese).> but damn man this shit feels like a slog sometimes. The best part was entering the winter area and trying to oust some heretic only to be thrown away from that, I want to go back to the winter area with the dragons.It can. I'd say this is something you'll encounter in every expansion, but ARR definitely has it the worst by virtue of everything surrounding it what with 1.0's failure and having to remake the game, having to pad things out as much as possible, etc. Good news is you'll get plenty of winter areas stuff and dragons in Heavensward.
>>738030639evangelion has been whored out longer than you have been alive you massive fucking poser
>>738032430They said they were aiming for about 16, but PLD had 17 in the demo. I'm sure a few other jobs will have more as well.
>>738032398It really wasn't that bad in the grand scheme of things, but I guess a filler arc that was so stupid and kinda pointless besides setting up more shard antics and Calyx is just one of those things that drove the story-focused crowd out entirely. And that was a pretty damn large number of folks.
>>738032516>Machinations?I'd still rather hear that than fucking Thunderer.
>>738030639>esteemedRebirth is a decade old so...
>>738031886Just be happy they went back and trimmed a bunch of the busywork they had you do a few years back
>>738032398I think people really just don't have any idea of what the MMO market is like. I think there's WoW, Runescape and XIV. Then there's like several tiers below it where you get other long time MMOs like GW2 and ESO.Arguably, you could say (depending on how much credence you lend to whatever numbers Blizzard seems fit to leak) that there's a difference of a few tiers between WoW and its next competitor as far as player numbers go, and then you get several more tiers before you hit the "average MMO numbers" area.Acting like XIV, even at its worst, is completely in the MMO gutter is silly.
So I ran Forked Tower Blood, It's really good.XIV players don't deserve cool mmo raids like this I can't believe this got such backlash. The hallways before the triplets, the twin bridges, and the lock system are things that should be in the actual raid series instead of floating platforms.
>>738030639You mean the esteemed franchise Evangelion that they whored out to sell razors?That esteemed franchise?
>>738032549I don't find it very far off from Heavensward using its post patches to tie off loose ends and then try to figure out whether they wanted Shadowbringers' plot or Stormblood's, myself
>>738032614What about winterer (what the fuck does it mean)
>>738032614Let me guess: ARR player who had to prog Coils?
Does bard perform has polyphony yet? Else I'm not interested in a new expansion
>>738032682>I can't believe this got such backlash. You weren't there week one. It was a fucking mess.
>>738032398>>738032549It was the dei slop that drove people away. DT would just be SB 2.0 otherwise. Not even the twitter leftists want to actually listen to a tranny talk for 50 hours.
>>738032682People hate the RNG 3 hour farm just to wipe shit
>>738032354Coulda just googled it instead of replying 3 times until someone just tells you where it is, but here
>before the trailer garlenigger larpers thought they were going to get a islbard/garlean expansionTHE ABSOLUTE STATE OF GLOBALHOMOMELD
>>738032787
i kinda wanna buy dynamis sm house before cross region matchmaking, even though I had a nice Kugane house I let get demolished being away
>>738032682I think the disgruntlement mainly stems from the fact that with Bozja, there was a normal mode for this kinda stuff. Forked Tower Blood just had its hard mode with stupid imposed penalties, and then they said "sorry not enough budget/manpower" for a normal mode, which a lot of people obviously couldn't stomach.It felt like they also had no idea what they wanted with it, because on the one hand they made it really annoying to get into when it first was added, and it had the 3 deaths and you're out rule. But at the same time, they said they hoped randoms would just find each other in the South Horn and casually prog Forked Tower together for that real classic MMO vibe. These elements are entirely incongruous.
>>738032398>>738032549Die.
>>738009846A tourney arc would never have a good ending.
>>738032879Like I care about what your X screenshot rando saysloser
>>738032879I'm not apologizing for shit. Dawntrail story is a dumpster fire. But there's a lot more to complain about as legacy issues like the patch grind cycle for tomestones, content issues, weird laziness, and those got overshadowed by DT MSQ being dogshit even though the rest of the content is pretty alright.

>>738032953All of those things were being worked on by Evercold and all c-team had to do was hold down the fort for literally one expansion and they almost killed the fucking game.

>portable hebesimagine...
This is why professional DT seethers are so annoying to deal with.This conversation started over the simple objective fact that even when the game is widely maligned (this is apparently seen as complimenting Dawntrail), it still is the second or third biggest MMO around.Apparently people are just supposed to lobotomize themselves so hard that they believe Dawntrail killed XIV because otherwise some fatally broken autists short-circuit and scream that you're a DT apologist or Wuk fanboy. It's like having to babysit literal retards.

>>738033776Them dragging out the CEO to say they will give the game more budget so please dont leave, you are keeping our company afloat really solidified it for me.
>>738033740I still don't know what a winterer isLike they like snow?
>>738033667public duels returning would be great, but they shouldn't be tied to public fates/CEs since that just makes it ass to access them>private repeatable quest or item that when completed/used spawns the duel for the user>everyone can watch as usual and gets the buff if the player wins
>>738033776Honestly feels like half of the people that quit over Dawntrail didn't even touch it, they just heard word of mouth and simply went "welp another game i liked ruined"I've got a friend who played the game quite a bit with me, I did DT on launch week while work kept him busy, and he hasn't touched the game since word of mouth and my own complaints. Literally just, "I'll buy a story skip if the next expac doesn't suck."
>>738033918"wintering" an upcoming Shit Goes Down event
>>738033792i dont know what that is
>>738033918>A winterer is a person or animal that spends the winter season in a specific, often chosen, location. It refers to residents, visitors, or migratory animals (especially birds) staying in a place during colder months. The term often implies "snowbirds" or those who maintain a home there seasonally.
>>738033918>A winterer is a person, animal, or bird that resides in or visits a specific location during the winter season. The term often implies someone who "winters over" or passes the cold season in a particular place, including seasonal residents or, historically, livestock kept in a specific area during winter.in the context of xiv it's basically calling themselves doomsday preppers
>>738033776>gamers so starved for games they're forced to go outside and play magicsad
>>738033945>Honestly feels like half of the people that quit over Dawntrail didn't even touch it, they just heard word of mouth and simply went "welp another game i liked ruined"There's definitely a bit of that.It's basically Stormblood + surge of transients the expansion before + faggot culture war garbage.It's honestly the perfect shitstorm.
>>738033990>>738034002Sugoi gpt sama
>>738034052>Perfect storm make players come>Prefect shitstorm make players leave...8.0 may be the best expansion ever

>>738033681
>>738034052Because pic related is the image of the expansion and any normal sane people would see this fucking character and say "Yeah, fuck no"
>>738033945Personally, I just find it funny.I don't feel like people aren't allowed to criticize Dawntrail. Hell, I know there's plenty there worthy of criticizing, even if I think the outright doomsday stuff is overblown.But it was so hilarious to see some allegedly dyed in the wool fags go>"omg le ENDWALKER SAVED ME A HECKIN LYFE I WILL LOVE ZIV FOREVER" change to >"dawntrail and woke lamao killed my long-standing love for this game 5ever"Really? This game saved your life and made the sun shine for you or something, and then one MSQ and one garbage character is enough for you to flip from loving it like it's your own child to loathing it like it's killed your family + pet dog? You're not obligated to love or even continue to play something you don't like, but holy fucking melodramatic performance.
garelnigger larpers are seething. EW was a gift.
nothing is more LARPy than people pretending Dawntrail established the current issue with job design (because they're dumping on it already. May as well attribute another bad thing to it) while praising Shadowbringers and absolving it of all bad.Somehow, I think WoW manages to have a better culture. Few drama queens on all sides.
>>738034241>That one rep grind in ShB where the npcs are going on their own abyss adventure while you're stuck on cuck duty providing them with suppliesIt's not fair...
>>738034483literally nobody says that DT is the root cause of poor job design in this game. you are swinging at shadows
>>738034315Hey, stop shittalking my boy Garel.
>>738033776DT wasn't good but it was always going to be a recline in player numbers because we just came off the high of endwalker + multiple expansions worth of buildup, players were naturally going to be burnt out.
>>738034558Its more like there was increasing annoyance about the stale state of the game, then DT was the final push that broke the dam
>>738034483>Somehow, I think WoW manages to have a better culture. Few drama queens on all sides.The difference is WoW makes drama about dumb shit like one guy botching a hardcore thing for everybody like it's some big reality TV show, and are otherwise so absorbed into their shit that only the (often temporary) quitters are the ones raising hell about dumb shit.
>>738034483>I think WoW manages to have a better culture. Few drama queens on all sides.[/spoilerok now you are just being larping as a wow player cause this is just not fucking true lmfao
>>738034558Fact: ShB is hardly ever credited with causing the current woes with job design.Because ShB fellation is a self-perpetuating cycle.
>>738034520I never did the fairy village in Dragon Quarter. Did anyone here do it? Did anyone here even play Dragon Quarter?
>>738030639bruh look at this dude LMFAOOOOOO

>>738034483>Somehow, I think WoW manages to have a better cultureXIV's current culture was pioneered by WoW expats.
>>738030639>anno homosexuals btfoholy shit these faggots are SEETHING
>>738034618WoW drama is funny because it's always dumb shit like people getting a couple extra loot rerolls in a season that's already over. So much petty rage expended on the idea that someone is getting slightly more worthless loot than you.
I hope once Evercold launches people can stop sperging about Dawntrail constantly.Tired of having to deal with people who behave like mental invalids around it, where you can't have a conversation without constantly reassuring them that you and everyone else hated Dawntrail or they get, to borrow something from the days of yore, "triggered".
>>738034483modern wow is the second most toxic mmo out there. with classic wow being the most
>>738034659Damn Asuka really set her butt slider to minimum
The Desolance drama is at least equally as entertaining as the Pirate Software crash out, if we're comparing cultures.
>>738034769You know that's not happening8.0 will drop and people will be posting>where's Wuk?
>>738034769the people that regularly sperg about dawntrail in these threads are just shitters for xiv threads in general, it would never end even if the game dominated wow somehow
>>738034769triggered tranny post
>>738034706See, I'm willing to believe that there is a bit of that, but I feel like XIV itself has fostered such an overly emotional community in some way. And I'm not just talking about the sexual deviants like transsexuals (though it certainly applies to them as well), even the right-wing LARPers get super snarky and emotionally incoherent about this stuff.
>>738034769To be fair it's a fascinating subject to dissect even if it has become somewhat wearisome due to how often ground has been retread upon again and again.
>>738033918Guessing it's someone who lives on the lower realm of the 4th. They live in the 'Winter' realm, and because most people died off and had to flee to the sky, only the strongest of the strong were able to live in the Winter realm, making them a new threat. Think of it like the Sin Eaters were spawned from the Empty on the First but unlike Sin Eaters the Winterers retain their memories, their own wherewithal.
>>738034817Pirate Software drama made crazy waves.Desolance drama is just two retarded faggots being retarded.They might be similarly comedic in terms of lolcow value, but I feel like you couldn't escape the former, while you have to go out of your way to even know about the latter.
>>738034483How many people actually think thisApparently Yoship blew up when asked about jobs and materia during DT's media tour so it was a topic before
>>738034817>WoW comes out>Big memes like Leeroy Jenkins, The Wintergrasp Funeral Raid and Blood Plague event happen>Then nothing for like 15+ years>Classic and eventually HC Classic come out>Big memes immediately begin to flow againVanilla WoW is just magic huh.
>>738034769The detractors and bad actors are never going to stop talking about Dawntrail. Just embrace it.
>>738034909it's a fun game to play through 1 time
>>738034912This d00d gets itGEM post
>>738034912I want to have some vain hope.But I remember SB far too well to believe it myself.Managing tards' emotions for at least half a decade it is.
>>738034891A big part of this is that a massive streamer was the subject of the Pirate Software drama (Pirate Software)The Desolance shit was Xeno, who gets like 1k viewers? I don't even know, I don't watch Twitch, but definitely a fraction of what Pirate Software gets, and Xeno himself wasn't even the subject, Desolance was, and no one knows who Desolance is besides second hand knowledge from the drama. There aren't archives of hundreds of hours of him streaming for people to comb through.
>>738034909It really was lightning in a bottle. Nothing came close culturally and sovlfully
>>738034909It's not really a fun game to play mechanically. It fosters a shared community (not always good, especially in the age of streamfaggots wanting to be the center of attention, constantly), which also contributes to events like that.
>>738034912>The detractors and bad actorstotally not a cult btw

Are the shitposters trying to say that people defended Dawntrail now?
>Garleans trying to integrate into the global communityThis is just a disaster waiting to happen. A general populace simply CANNOT avoid developing prejudice towards former oppressors who can't even use magic to both defend themselves and/or pull their weight in society. Imagine having to work with some Garlean nigger who just won't stop complaining about how he can't do jobs that require magic. You'd eventually despise him.
>>738035256Oh shit! You're so right!
>>738013013Dumb opinion. Stormblood had nowhere near enough Zenos, Endwalker gave him room to blossom.
>>738034645Yeah. There's a roguelite mode behind it that's unironically better than the main game. 50 semi-random floors with a superboss at the bottom.
Why is Kate replying to herself about Dawntrail? She doesn't even work on Final Fantasy Fourteen anymore.
