So the demiatma weapons are 5 ilvls worse than what I can buy+upgrade from the marketboard?
>>738758192relic weapons are always slightly worse than other sources until the very last patch
>>738758260But why does it take 15 months to grind one then?
>>738758260do they at least look good?
>>738758374because the point is to have the cool shiny sword with the glowy parts, not to grind your balls across broken glass for a 0.5% dps increase
>>738758192Just do it outside with FATEs, stop torturing yourself
ANOTHER QUESTIONWhat is the DING DING DING that I keep hearing, it's an emote or some shit. I think it sounds like the uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Arcadion win bell.
>>738758691doom train weapons
>>738758789Oohh. Makes sense.Thanks mate.
I still haven't done OCI want to complete the MSQ first
I've been playing VPR for several days and it's taken until now to realize I like it because it reminds me of Etoile[spoiIer]I miss PSO2, man
how come femra stacies get their own expansion wtf
>>738759418Square still desperately chasing trannybux
>>738759575that's not a femhroth doe?
Alright post portraits
Do I BiS Tanks or Phys Ranged next?Melee and Casters are already BiS
>>738760148Ranged "doesn't matter", dummy
>>738760180Tank it is
>>738760230Das rite
>>738760056renda rae lookin az
>>738758374Because it's a long term goal for people who actually play the game.
>>738760361I was sad that people were full on Lighting hair etc. and no one was trying to look like Mithra.I think you'd look better with a little like side eye 30 degrees looking at the camera. And change the lighting angle.
>>738760501I think Cocobutt would look better if she included the bottom half of the lala /pray emote
>>738760501>>738760652unfortunately this emote doesn't have eye tracking. is this better on the lighting?
>>738760686I can't stand when emotes don't have eye tracking, what the fuck are these retards doing?
>>738760686>this emote doesn't have eye trackingwtfIt's the same essentially
>>738760686Personally I liked the other one better, the angle change looks off. They did say side eye so you'd wanna rotate some. But I want the full emote view for that pantyshot. Also maybe some smugness, but that's pretty common on lala plates I guess
Boy? Girl? Which is which? Choose carefully.
>>738760846Right one is a boy and trying too hard with the long hair and pink outfit. You can tell by the face
>>738760793>>738760821i dunno, i think i prefer the straight on look, looks like you're looking down at her
>>738760919That one is actually much cuter. But it also reminded me of pic related
>when you hit the mini cact jackpot and the fajitas come out sizzlinnow if only there were something worth buying
>>738760915Is that your final answer?
>>738761067as a lala expert, they're both boys
>>738760686This one is better.
>>738761123Correct
>>738761178Left one's just cosplaying the dwarf whatsherface from the first, not worth the effort
>>738761123>>738761178
>>738761231>Left one's just cosplaying the dwarf whatsherfaceIt's a glamourer copypaste, not really a cosplay. And as we've just proven, Giott's a guy.
i love this little guy
>>738761489I love dressing up as Vivi, but Tiny Troll is never leaving my side
>>738760056All my favourite portraits are on jobs I don't even play.
>>738761738Honestly same.I think pig suit with a big wizard hat has my favorite pose, was it monk?
>>738760821

Umm... cats...
>>738758192Predictions for the 8-man raid series in Evercold?Will we get another banger lore filled raid like Pandemonium?
>>738762858They said we'd know why they couldn't tell us in Anaheim once they revealed what it is. So it has to be something MSQ related, right?
is there maintenance in like an hour or somethingI've been porting between DT zones for like 15 minutes without a single FATE anywhere
>>738762945You just have bad luck.
>>738759418Where is my government mandated femra gf (girl)?
I'm tired of pretending Pandemonium was the best 8 man raid series, Arcadion is just better in every way.
I'm praying evercold will be good enough to make me come back. I keep thinking about my char and time spent in the game but i cba resubbing to a game I suck at when its in such a bad state
Catsex
completely beefed it in a windurst run as samurai. maybe i'm not fit to be melee
>>738758374Because each step is unlocked every few months.
>>738762913Only thing between now and then is Kefka and the final exploration planet. I initially though it might be a Void raid but Golbez specifically said there's no more voidsent left to cause any issues. And I doubt it would be a crossover raid, like say if FF7 R3 got revealed at Summer Games Fes in a few weeks. So I think they're hiding something with the expansion, and the extended trailer is going to reveal it, which will also be related to the raid.
i'm dogshit at ninja but i want to get better. monk is fun and easier but they have consistently bad looking weapons. reaper sort of cool but too edgy
>>738764880>ninyou fall asleep for 60 seconds, wake up and slam everything you can into trick attack in 15 seconds, fall back asleep, then at the 2 minute mark you wake up again and slam everything into an even more packed trick attack
>>738764964i'm bad at being consistent with my jutsus especially when a lot of stuff is happpening
Did anyone ever make mods to restore the old faces?
>>738764998You just need reps.
>>738764493I found you, Cocobutt, cute belly
>>738764880MNK has a few gloves and tonfas that look pretty nice. But yeah the giant shields attached to your fists tend to be shit.
Someone completely ignored one of the second set towers on the final boss of the third walk and every DPS/Healer died as a resultI am now greedy since I died>>738764493Sometimes I forget that there's a learned ruleset and state of mind you need to play melee optimallyThe Phys Ranged in our static says she'd never melee, I don't understand why because she's a consistent and skilled player, but I guess it does require a certain way of playing...
I think i'm growing tired playing as a fem WoL. I still have a free fanta the game gave me, so I'm strongly considering it.But I'm also kind of torn on what male race to play. Hroth, potato and catmen are right out. I'm thinking going either Mhigger, Malera, or knife ear. If male viera didn't look so effeminate, that'd also be considered.
>>738765189thats the whole point
Will it be true, or am I coping?
>>738766703Endwalker is in the shit pile
>>738766703The diamonds are in ARR and HW, everything else is empty.
>>738766703
>>738766795>>738766810Minus Dawntrail
>>738766703Really depends on how hard they go with the job changes. If they fuck this up I don't think XIV will bounce back.
>>738762858>banger>lorefilled>PandaemoniumThe most bullshit nothingburger raid tier, it was so bad they had to slap in the meme of sabik for the last tier because they had nothing going on>>738762913They always delay the reveal of the raid tier to EU fan fest. The art also gives you little to nothing to speculate on, like remember people thinking there would be an Ascian in Arcadion because the neon light kinda looked like a sigil? Lmao.
so, if i understand correctly, all alliance raids except the ones from ARR are not considered canon but sort of a fanfic, correct?
>>738760056
>>738767148Oh the jobs are still going to play within the bounds of what's here, it won't change all that much sadly
>>738767226Everything in XIV is canon, just depends if it matters to the MSQ or not.
>>738767226They're all canon.
>>738767259Thats fine.As long as they dont play as carbon copy clones of eachother I think people will be happy with them.
>>738766703It's true.
>>738766703I wish we could have seen the West Wolves timeline, the one where the plot wasn't re-written last minute.
>>738758374Because it's a vanity item and eventually it does become the strongest weapon in the game until the next expansion, so that sort of grind is reserved for Ultimate maxxers that want to squeeze every last bit of performance from their gear for the clears. Any other retard questions?
>>738767497yes, why i can’t pay to win my way out of the relic from ARR like the one from HW?
>>738758540usually yes but sometimes there's bad steps in specific relic weapons

question, does all expansion have as much content as ARR?
>>738769820More content
>>738769838holy shit, and ARR have a shiton alredy.
>>738769902NTA, I think ARR might has more quests if you include the post patches, and ARR might have more dungeons? But generally the other expansions have more actual content. I think ARR is like 60 hours to complete the MSQ of if you just do MSQ, and all expansions are 40 hours or so if you just do MSQ, but they have more things like Eureka and Bozja and whatever.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5hEprkWQQIi need to figure out how to rig this game to play this whenever i open the crafting log/am doing a craft
>>738769820ARR has extra quests for (Hard) trials and an extra large amount of MSQ in the 2.X series but later expansions have zones with their own leveling systems and dungeons.
>>738769996well rip me, I’m 140 already and i have been doing every content that i can on ARR, even extremes & bahamut on solo, shit just doesn’t stop throwing you new things all time, I fear how heavensword is going to be lol
>>738770162Don't worry about it if you're having fun. There's still plenty of time before Evercold.
i wish there was a way to get crystal paste for relic that wasn't mind numbing
>>738770204Ask big coco or vizex (on the scene)
>>738770204Just do dailies.
>>738770204I really wish that people didn't bitch so much about Endwalker's relic. I really liked not needing to do Roulettes.
>>738770391>WAAAHHHH I HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME
>>738770456I like playing the game. I don't like doing Roulettes. They don't even let you queue Mentor Roulette for progress, which is the only Roulette that is fun to do sometimes. Imagine if Mentor Roulette could have given you some progress for all of the bubbles. That might not have sucked.
>>738770532tomes are the same as light, atmas, etc anyway
>>738770846Nope.
>>738770846But have you considered that I hadn't written long thinkpieces about the current expansion when those identical systems were new?
ok i love hullbreaker isle as a dungeon concept, which to be a King Kong reference, but that kraken boss really kill the whole dungeon vibe, good concept but horrible execution.
>>738770874>currency you get after completing targeted contentthe only difference is tomes can be stockpiled beforehand. for some reason doing 10 expert roulettes worth of tomes is somehow worse than doing 10 expert roulettes and getting a dungeon atma
>>738768754It's ok when hildi does it.
>>738770973Yeah, it's probably the worst designed boss of all time.
>>738770995You're so fucking stupid that I'm not even going to argue with you why 1500 Tomestones is different than farming atma or light, because even you know that you're wrong.
Okay, why are they doing the >camera zooms in on fist clenching with leather crunching sounds, even if they're not wearing leather gloves, or any gloves for that mattershit so often?I know it is a cliche, and they have probably done it before, but it happens so many fucking times in Dawntrail. I swear to god that someone does it every other quest
>>738766703I feel like it says a lot about my experience with Dawntrail when one of the high points of the MSQ was getting to see Alphinaud use an actual Sage ability in a cutscene.I cannot overstate how much I hate the generic healing hand beams.
>>738771079yes, you can farm tomes beforehand. thats the only effective difference
>>738771118
>>738771118The constant *clenches fist* and camera cutaways to the WoL doing a single reaction emote to whatever is going on made parts of Dawntrail feel like a comedy bit.
>>738771118>airbubblelet's knuckles don't make noise when they move
He slowed down I seeGot a bit self conscious...
>>738762858It will be Sin. EU Fanfest is only a few days after FFX's 25th anniversary. That game has very little representation in XIV despite it being the 3rd? most popular in the series in Japan.
they're making sure to compare us to zenos a lot or give us some less-than-heroic dialogue optionsi wonder what that could be about
>>738771118because they don't have other animations to convey emotion and they refuse to add them.
>>73877247090% of it is probably just justifying the poster job.
now that I’m checking, dawntrail was almost a whole fucking year without 7.1?what the fuck
>>7387730087.0 was July, 7.1 was November. It was only 4 months, you're just a retard.
I know people like to imagine themselves being transported to video game worlds and getting cool powers and shit but I think living in the ff14 world would be a living hell with how much shit can kill you even just outside the starting cities. Not to mention that the world is constantly under threat and you need to hope some random dude (the wol) saves everyone.
>>738772149XIV avoids that side of FF for a reason though
>>738772847i think the angle they're taking as villains is just demoralizing you since they can't kill you, maybe ego death will convince you heroism is le bad and you should let them kill everyone with a large number of rejoinings one after the other>>738773150adventuring's a tough life but it makes it socially acceptable for you to be a neurotic freak so it can't be all that bad
>>738773209If they're going to go all in on the ethos, pathos, logos thing then wol will need to hurt peoples' feelings in the process of doing what's right. It could just be setting that up.
>>738773150wtf is this real!?!?!
>>738773150that is why you get reborn as your wol.
>>738773637Idk man, some of the tank busters in the trials look like they hurt really bad.
when will aether become uncongested?
who will make the Ilberd edits of the new jobs?
>>738773896As ever it will be a community effort
>>738773896>editHere's the original
>>738774020Another one for the road
>>738773896I'll do my part if they're cool.
>>738773820You just missed the boat, Midgardsormr was open last patch.I doubt its going to open up again with the ultimate coming out. So maybe 7.56
Ah. He's keeping it bumped now.
>>738772470>>738772847Yeah remember when we were the warriors of DARKNESS and Shadowbringers was being marketed as us making HARD and EDGY anti-hero decisions and then none of that was true? Same shit. Halmarut is just saying that we are strong enough to do whatever the fuck we want but if we kill all the Winterers then we're still doomed regardless.Of course, being the hero means we will find the magic third option that saves everyone so the dialogue about treading close to Zenos falls flat if you have any media literacy.
>>738768795EN mogs JP hard in this comparison.
I'm fucking schizoing out>EC trailer>narrator talking about the land pre-ice>pans over to big crystal >narrator talks about the land being engulfed in ice so they fled to the sky>crystal should be in a frozen area since it was shown to be on the planet surface >pic rel>no icewhat the fuck
>>738775779It's a floating island.
>>738775779might be a really big floating islandor the 4th's version of Ishgard
>>738775837>>738775846the big crystal wasn't on an island. they specifically show it as the narrator is talking about the surface. they would have had to either move it or turn the surrounding area into a floating island
>>738775779ICENO MORE ONCE UPON AN ICE
>>738775925>or turn the surrounding area into a floating islandgee, it's too bad this setting doesn't have magic or wizards or absurdly powerful godlike entities or anything silly like thatsarcasm aside, the full trailer is probably going to show everything getting frozen over by the big bad
>>738775779As soon as they showed the giant crystal I went "Oh god it's FFXVI"
>>738775779Top-left of this image is also making me think the planet itself isn't in ice anymore. We're being bamboozled, something else happened and the land below is no longer frozen. Hence the weird time jumping in the trailer, and not one ice themed zone or concept art was shown.
>>738776187the sky in the top right and bottom left images is odd
>>738767727because the game design completely fell apart after ARR.
>>738776187Gonna be funny if this is another Living Memory thing. Where most of the population is in a simulated world inside the giant ice crystal we saw in the trailer. And the reason the girl disappears while praying to it.
>>738776187>new dungeons>that regular-looking peaceful town is part of a dungeonHmmm.
>>738776420The HW relic was a worse grind than the ARR one on release. Its by far the most nerfed of the whole bunch.
>>738776446These...are the final days of icemarout...
>>738776440I think that's pretty reasonable. Everyone is cryo frozen and the non-wintery zones are their collective dream. But it will have the same issues as Living Memory unless we significantly unfuck things by the end of the base expac. I don't think anyone wants years of turned off Living Memory, especially if its every zone and not just 1 you can largely ignore.
>>738776440>>738776808They're fayth, the giants are Sins.
>>738760056This is what I'm using at the moment that isnt just a complete joke image
Alright fellas, what do you think Dancing Mad Ultimate's difficulty level is going to be at?
>>738777770Between FRU and DSR would be nice. I wish we didn't have to wait so long for it.
>>738777770probably ultimate man
If you think about it, Kefka is basically gonna be the final challenge of the current game. Jobs and battle design are gonna be completely different in Evercold, it's going to be a different game. Once you see that DUTY COMPLETE it's going to be like saying goodbye.
>>738777824Well each one is mechanically difficult in different ways...
>>738777770Slightly above FRU. I don't know what the FRU clears look like but I know I saw a lot of people with the weapons in Heavyweight. So I imagine they'll stick with something that gets a lot of people doing it rather than ball busting shit like TOP.
>>738778114I'm sorry I was just trying to be funny....I would like a TOP ulti
>>738777905Kinda sad that it's releasing before the Relic. Unless MSQ Part 2 comes with a 2nd Extreme (doubtful), the Relic is going to be completely useless. Personally I think it would be cool if Part 2 included a solo instance where you play as an Evolved Reaper.
>>738764880Emperor's New Fists
>>738777905are job and battle design really gonna change that much? i feel like people are hoping and coping way too much about how much 20-odd jobs are really gonna change - just from rolling combos into a macro and a few contextual buttons.and i haven't heard anything about encounters themselves, it's gonna be the same DDR markers we've seen for a decade right?
>>738777905You can still play the jobs with the same rotation as pre-evercold...he literally said that at fanfest
>>738777905Without rewriting the netcode from scratch all fights will be exactly the same, but without the burst break every 2 minutes.
>>738779120at 20% less powerlol
>>738758192I miss Atma at release. I was one of the lucky dudes with a good drop rate.
>>738779514me when I make stuff up
>>738776342They're going to be inside a frozen dome or something arent they, and the rest of the planet is cold
ffxiv but I'm not allowed to use teleport or return
>>738778920More than likely, yet again people are blinded by hypeI'm looking forward to some of it regardlessWasn't there a screencap of that Yoshi P interview article where he said things are changing, but not really that much?
I'm up early for fish, and I realized something.Coerthas Central/Western Highlands, the snowy areas, never got a graphics update. I mentioned this before, and wondered why.I have a feeling since Evercold is gonna have some ice/snow focus, they're probably gonna have some snow physics added.
>>738780752They won't even update expansion gear anymore man, they aren't doing shitEvery patch updates the textures and dye channels on modernslop and relic weapons
>>738780936>they aren't doing shit>every patch they update xyzThe funny thing with schizo doomniggers is that you don't even have to argue
>>738780752Yeah, I remember seeing a lot of snowy vistas in their Evercold reveal keynote to the point they had to repeat it. For sure they will update them.
