>>738971639typical zivver faggotry, nothing to see here
>>738972826Why did they allow this? It's always Malera or Miera, too.
So i'm tempted to resub bros.My question is this; how has the housing situation changed since end of ShB? Is every plot, even the small ones, still taken?I kinda miss my medium plot, but i'd sell for small at this point.
>>738973068You now have to win the lottery to get a plot.On the upside, you get an Island where you can put some items down almost freely.
>>738972913>Why did they allow this?obnoxious jobless welfare troons, fags, and commies spammed the devs for years asking for it
>>738973068There's a 4 day free login going right now.
>>738973068getting a house is a lottery, but I have no idea why you would enter a lottery to get chained into staying permasubbedget a fucking apartment, and unlock the island sanctuary, and you're good to go
>>738972913low effort way to keep the Twitter RP fags happy
It's hilarious people hated Zero only to get something worse than Zero. It made seeing Zero again a welcome breath of fresh air and it made you recollect and go "Hmm... maybe Zero wasn't that bad after all."
>>738973785Because Zero's main problem was always that she was stuck repeating the exact same character introduction arc for like 3 fucking patching in a row. When something is actually happening she's totally fine. Her reaper form is also great looking even with the fedora tipping.
>already had a character they could have used instead of Zero>cant use her because side content scary and cant be implemented in main story ever and they had to apologize multiple times for forcing you to do a 8 year old raid that takes an hour
>>738973925she doesn't want to take up fighting again anon. she's over 100 years old
>>738973785to be fair zero has nothing really going on against her because the story she's a part of has other shit going onWuk is 90% of DT while bringing a fat negative nothing to the table because she's even ugly by femhroth standards
>>738973785I'm actually worried that they will force scions on us hard now because their recent new characters have flopped.
>>738971639imagine the autism sex
>>738973785My wife is coming with usTRVST THE PLAN
>>738971639She doesn't remember what it's like to be a woman, and we must teach her
>>738973925And they keep making more side content featuring her.
>>738973968>she's even ugly by femhroth standardsWuk looked way better with the dumb hat back in 6.5. Wish she kept it.
>>738974197We're going to the Void in ECto help rebuild the sanctuary area it'll be the DoH/DoL content.
>>738974296The hat looked just as dumb desu
>>738973997We're never escaping the scions because we must have the softest most friendly people imaginable at all times. We haven't had an actual good group since heavensward when Ysayle and Estinien weren't just BFFs
>>738971639whats this kuck shit with zero and jullus? why are garleans so pathetic? why are garlean chud larpers pathetic?
all of the scions are fine except alisaie and maybe thancred in certain situations. tataru coming back to waste our time was fucking stupid. wish that stupid jew was off screened
>>738974104Why did alexandria put their queen in bootyshorts and leggings? Do they want her to entrap and tie down the WoL?
>>738974595what do you have against garlean community
>>738974646why is a mortuary guy in charge of the new queen and why is he such an ugly bastard and strict with her?
>>738974595Look, just because Zero is taking BGC, it doesn't have to mean that Jullus doesn't have a shot as well.
>>738974659The Garlean Community
What Zero does in the Void... is her business...
>>738973925Shit like this is why you should never expect them to do anything interesting EVER with the game going forwardCasual shitters will whine and cry that they have to play the game and do stuff outside of ERP and Limsa AFK
>>738974689golbez ate jullus cookies he made for zero.
>>738973925Sorry bwo, destined to be the latest in a long line of failed Cecils that double as Ascian stoogesReminder that Unukalhai's mentor and adoptive dad turned out to be a dementia addled Zodiark golem and not really a balance guy
>>738974789That's just foreshadowing for Jullus getting his bussy claimed by Zero's boyfriend someday
>>738974184Anon, not even a group of pillagers looking to rape wanted to rape her. She canonically looks like a man.
>how did Zero avoid the Flood of Darkness?>"W-well you see... she just randomly fell into the Interdimensional Rift for no reason right as it started, then she popped back out into the Thirteenth again also for no reason as soon as the Flood was over."Top shelf writing from Hiroi-san.
you guys do anything fun in xiv today? i got a praetorium where we had to kick two dps in a row for going afk during boss fights
>>738975262The writers aren't allowed to mention or depict rape anymore, anon.It's not Zero's fault.
>>738973785No, Zero was that bad, it's just that the patches stories are shorter than the MSQ, and people didn't have a continuous exposure since they had to wait for future patches to give more MSQ which gave them a break. Other than that, she was Wuk 1.0>Has to have the same message hammered into you over and over>Characters instinctively like her for no reason whatsoever, and in some cases, actually ONLY having reasons to dislike her>Once she's introduced pretty much everything revolves around her story wise and she dwarfs every other character in importanceThe only thing I'll give Zero is that her English VA was definitely better than Wuk's English VA, even if it was bland (Which fits the character of being a bland bitch).
>>738975501They were pretty blatantly gonna get their rape on in that village
>>738975446I caught Purse on my first window
>>738975446Finally got two of the four gems I wanted from Omega in MH Wilds. Went nearly 30 hunts straight without seeing a single gem
>>738975539Damn, you're actually right:>Haughty Memoriate: Stand aside if you value your life.>Brutish Memoriate: We're only after women and wine. Darkness can take the rest.
>>738975501I miss all the sex shit from ARR
>>738975446Not exactly, just did a few roulettes and hopped offThink I'm just trying to relax until I have to prog every night
>>738975690Besides femroes and miqo'te NPCs in Limsa trying to get their cunts stuffed and the Sastasha pirate rape cave I genuinely don't remember many times ARR dwelled on sex that much
>>738975547grats anon. saw a lot of people bitching about missing it>>738975628i don't think i could do 30 runs without getting a single drop. you're far more patient than i'd be>>738975737prep done for UMAD? is that what they're calling it?
>>738975754I like that Sastasha has an enemy that threatens to rape female characters in your party
>>738975262That could have other reasons as well.Trying to rape someone with combat experience is like asking for a hidden dagger between your ribs
>>738975690Same, but then again almost all MMOs had it at the time. You have to remember player marriage was a given mechanic when ARR came out in almost every single MMO. Gone are those days. Any player romance is expressly forbidden industry-wide because muh chilluns, and all of the implications that our characters have genders and could have sex has to be sanitized and scrubbed lest they draw the ire of some fat retard, house representative of bumfuck, kansas, who will plaster the game over the evening news because a kid could learn what sex is before they're 21. >>738975754That used to just be normal. Games used to encourage players to date and marry with special content. After all, its' an MMO.
>>738975924>That used to just be normal.Were you playing MMOs you found in banner ads on Kongregate? I never played any MMOs that grabbed my shoulders and yelled "DUDE, SEX, LMAO" into my face
>arr rape omgPRETTY LEDDIT HERE
>>738975769Yeah all my relevant melees have been BiS, probably going to try and prog as Reaper from the start since it's somehow very strong right nowI even got BiS for Picto as a wildcard if double caster is good or somethingI was thinking it would just be called DMU to follow the naming convention, but I bet the community will force UMAD
>>738975924>>738975978I misread the postGomenasorry
>>738975754Crystal braves elf traitor said she had to whore herself to survive
>>738976042who cares? she got people killed. dumb ass cunt and mhiggers
>>738975897She was lying on the ground almost unconscious with her weapon knocked out of her hands. They could have just hold her down and rape her if they wanted to, or strip her if they were that concerned.
>>738973785I hate ZenosI hate ZeroI hate WukSimple as.
>>738976083they probably didn't bother with zero since they thought she was dying. plus there was likely more pleasant company in the town
>>738976091its so funny how halmarut is becoming another tard.>but what if you didnt have breakfast wol? youre a bad person!
>>738975446I did Valigarmanda farming. Doesn't feel like they boosted the drop rate of the wings at all. 30 kills and no drop.>>738976039I don't like it but yeah of course they've all settled on UMAD.
>>738976157i believe they boost ex trial mount rates twice, once when they say they do and then later in the next expac they do it again. did about 20 zeromus kills and got 6 mounts
>>738976152She just needs correction, anon.
>>738976152She's not necessarily calling the WoL a bad person, she's just saying that going after the Winterers without a Plan B is a bad idea.
>>738976152>Your personal obsession with idealism may result in the ruination of everything, and keep in mind that whatever course of action you choose may pit others against you. Choose your path carefully.How is that retarded? She's right.
>>738977396lol she didnt say that at all tard. media literacy down the tubes as always here.
>>738977447Are you stupid? What do you think the Zenos comparison was about?
>>738976152"Please actually think about what will happen if you stop my plans and it makes the world fucking end because you didn't have insurance."She's perfectly reasonable, actually.
>>738977526zenos is coming back. our friend.
>>738977571ethos telling you "nah she's gay, forge ahead my nigga" in your head is really funny
>>738977660shit was great. >calyx waxing poetic at you>nigga why are you here look. the winterers are fags.
I love her!!! Femras are the best!!!
TJ, it's another XIV general. Again.
Are the 4 free days long enough to clear advanced? What about criterion?

>>738978190>tfw they're gonna make us put that body in the graveunfortunate
>>738978440Nah she's gonna give her life to help whatever plan you asspull. She's Aerith.
>thinking calyx is going to the 4thWE STILL GETTING OUR FF9 KUJA FIGHT FAGGOTS
>>738978554Even if she turns out to be a good guy, she probably has more corpses in her cellar than a thousand Yotsuyu's combined
>>738975754good chunk of npc dialouge gets pretty edgy with it. I can't imagine the game ever even implying this shit today.
>>738978360QRD on TJ?
>>738979360Tbh, that might just be Koji being cheeky.
>>738978390Switch 2 is the new limitation.>>738978372Advanced can be cleared blind in one session.Criterion is like the first two fights of a savage. So yes.
I was passing through Limsa on my way to the arcanist job quest when some random persona kept trying to trade with me. I kept rejecting but he kept asking to trade. i didnt know what to do so I just logged out.
>>738979445I mean Yotsuyu being a sex slave was a canon plotpoint. Shadowbringers/Endwalker was around the time they sanitized this shit
>>738973925My pipe dream, never ever content is a void expac featuring the virtue hunters and cylva teaming up with zero and golbez to fix the void. Either have a quick recap quest to introduce them to the player or just force people to do the shb role quests and void quests. God forbid people actually have to play every role in the game.
HEY WARRIOR OF LIGHT IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO LOOK AT SEVEN OBJECTS IN THE CURRENT FIELD OF VIEW AND CLICK ON EACH ONE OF THEM

>>738979634worker at a brothel.
>>738980242Zenos met her in a brothel?
>>738980302He did, yes. There's a short story about it.
>>738980358How come she looks sixteen in her official illustration?
>>738980213They stopped caring about zone design.>>738979930Endwalker really didn't have any either. Given it be pretty out of place in Old Sharlayan. Hispanic women are whores though so Tural not having stripper lizards is questionable.
>>738980405She's Asian.
>>738972083Good writing courtesy of Daichi Hiroi and a sign of what Wuk Lamat could have been were he not hamstrung by Naoki Yoshidas progressive ideology
>>738980213I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if SE just didn't have the tech for it during ARRThe more expansions you do, the more you see new mechanics/features that didn't exist before that SE all of a sudden uses frequently
>>738980408>Endwalker really didn't have any either.They were just afraid of depicting Indians and Hispanics as sluts
>>738973997People love meat sphene though, surely they must have noticed that
>>738973925I do wish they were more willing to force side content but when you're talking a master role quest it's a bit different
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12Rplt2TIoc
>>738979661I always used to say you couldn't do a void expansion because they clearly greatly value area variety and the void all rooks same but now that they've established the void has an ocean I really wanna see that, great chance to finally add underwater combat
>>738979396He doesn't like it when I use his actual title so the acronym will have to suffice
>>738973785>"Hmm... maybe Zero wasn't that bad after all."I never said that. Two things can both be shit even if one of them is a solid log and the other one is runny diarrhea. Zero was a shit character two years ago, and she's still shit.
>>738980447Yeah but she looks way older in the game. What's up with that?
>>738971639She's not a normal human and doesn't have a seuxal appetite. They should have at least let her take her boots off in this scene.
>>738979883MY FRIENDS SHOW THE ENDSINGER TACOS AND DIVERSITY! THIS WILL STOP HER!
>>738975754The postmoogle quests.The Arcanist quests.Both of these involve literal slavery of the implied sexual kind.
>>738980737I hope she becomes a Scion in Evercold!!

Do you guys ever think they would do a character like Yotsuyu again?She was a brothel worker at one point and that really fucked her upI feel like they wouldn't portray whoring in a negative light like that ever again because of modern pozzed politics>sex """work"""
we need prostitute as a job...
>>738980974They can do prostitutes good people who hire them badDoes this make sense? no, but they do it all the time
>>738980974I don't think that's what fucked her up.

Isn't it time we all apologize to Lyse?
>>738980867>tacos tacos papa's peace n happinesswhat did they mean by this
>>738981138It wasn't though. She always said it was her upbringing that messed her up. The fact that people used and abused her. You can be a prostitute and still be in a good place mentally.
>>738981138i hope anything nagxia is korean or vietnamese. kugane and bokyo are boring slop
>>738981153No.

I was looking at trying XI but I just realized they probably don't even have australian servers right? I would be half tempted to try and do it on US servers anyway but my connection lately has been even worse than it used to be so maybe I just shouldn't bother
mount rokkon was pretty kino, the ninjas, everything else "japan" was pretty dogshit.
Game really suffers from the japanese storytelling where they need to constantly remind and explain you why some characters acts some way.
this is your healer for the night, say something nice about her!
>>738981304There are no US servers for XI. Every server is in Japan. It's a slower paced game so it doesn't matter.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfKJxb2KV0k
>sudden influx of Japan hateWhat irrelevant SEA shithole do we think it's coming from this time?
>>738981356I'll be your tank
>>738981290Yeah you can. You only think sex is a big deal cuz you never got any.
Evercold feels like a panic-induced course correction from what we've seen. The EW patch series was bad on its own, but then DT doubled down and ~4 years of shit story has made them go back to "what works." Scions are together again even if we absolutely should have properly split up after EW and had new characters (still showing up occasionally but never more than 1-2 at a time), and there's some new and immediate world ending threat out of nowhere. It doesn't feel natural, nor really doing what was supposed to be the start of a new story saga. The planet initiating a mass-rejoining just feels like the aftermath of the Zodiark plotline like we never really got over it. I get wanting to focus on the shards and stuff, but the reasons for doing so should have been completely different. Perhaps even more in-line with ShB where they're just self-contained plotlines for the most part. You can tell the backlash over how bad DT was handled (should have literally just been a low-stakes vacation expansion, seriously) means they're afraid to ever touch Meracydia now that they completely fucked up the New World. Shards are "safe" in comparison, I guess.
>>738981364I guess i'll give it a try then, I already downloaded most of those zips before I realized
>>738981220>You can be a prostitute and still be in a good place mentally.kek
Here's your 8.0 party bro
>>738981468I'll be married for 9 years in August. Sex is the most important connection you can have as a human. Casual sex is damaging enough, making it a commodity damages a person beyond repair. You can not be a prostitute and also be emotionally healthy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju7CYL8-gXU
>>738981028Mongorians are cool, tacos aren't.
>>738980974We can't even get the funny npcs talking about lewd shit anymore.

>>738981480Well i'm retarded, I tried to unzip those files and it mostly did but threw up a few erors, it's because I am meant to use the program to unzip them
>>738981541Is that why you spam FFXI youtube links in an FFXIV thread?Because you're "emotionally" healthy?
>>738981520trash, trash, was fine in ew, kino, trash.

I don't think the chick who wrote this article paid attention to the NA fanfest because she's talking about how she doesn't want the same .1 .2 .3 .4 .5 patch cycle with Evercold where we predict exactly what content is dropping for each post patch because of prior expansions.She wants it mixed up but they literally said on stage, Yoshida said that the only thing is they're changing the name from 'patches' to 'Seasons' although fundamentally nothing is changing it's just a rebrand of the patch cycle name.https://www.pcgamer.com/games/final-fantasy/final-fantasy-14-is-promising-big-changes-with-evercold-but-i-hope-its-not-a-surface-level-attempt/
fucking some void scum up zero.
>>738981469>panic-induced course correctionThats been the state of the game since 7.3.We've seen the developers who were formerly complacent and indifferent to literally everything:>remove glamour restrictions>increase house item limit and are making smalls into larges on the inside>promise a complete combat overhaul for every job>remove 2m raidbuffs from homogenizing the game>promise a Cross-data center queue system>Expanding Character Customization and animation swaps with older removed skills (lot of people mod for this)>overhaul how progression works>promise faster patchesDawntrail clearly hurt their bottom line. So expect Evercold to be the most safe, most WoL glazing expac yet.

>>738981983hiroi slop was boring when she was written all over the place not knowing about voidsent pacts, not knowing about food etc. >>738982020yea this has been posted in every thread. guys ar retard. >game was shit>but oh nooo wol glazing i wish it was about garleaniggers insteadits pretty easy to spot ew seethers.
>>738981870Some of these were mentioned forever ago thobeitever.>>738981469Yshtola mused on a similar phenomenon to what Halmarut described in 7.5 outright way back in the EW patch series I don't think this direction is as left field as people believe it to be. The fact that it's potentially world ending being the only key difference between them. Unless you believe their course correcting on a narrative that wasn't poorly received?
>>738982020GOT EM. you bodied that tranny freak.
>>738978190I CAN FIX HER!
so do I still get called a trancer if I thought endwalker was dumb and the ancients were overplayed to this day I don't understand the point of traveling back in time and telling them about the future when one of the wol's main powers is to see the past with perfect clarity
>>738982110people thinking 7.5 /.55 wont be retconned are fucking retarded. anything that calyx and halibut say will not matter in 8.0 when were picking up dogshit off a guys field in the msq. it is what it is like great hunter wukkie la mat
>>738982178secondary shitter. your views dont mean shit.
>>738982178You will by the sperg who's currently in the thread calling everything slop.And the reason for the time travel is just pure Emet fanservice, nothing more. It really should have just been an Echo vision. 1.0 style so you can walk around and interact with stuff.
>>738982020I never said it was a bad thing.Its just funny to me how little they listened to anything. Then Occult Crescent happened and they became desperate.>>738982178Dawntrail has dropped the bar far enough to where we are legally required to like endwalker now
>>738982178 it was to find out the cause of the End of Days your actions also going into the past is what set both Venat and Emet Selch on their pathways so if you didnt go back then the present wouldnt exist Meteion would have won
>>738982110Halmarut was lying. She's actually (You)r number 1 fan and is creating all sorts of adventures for you to go on and problems to solve because she loves seeing you do your thing.
>>738982237that's a yes, then
>>738982253>hes still at itlmao. garleniggers been seething for years now.
>>738982178>>738982253EVERYTHING TRANCEZODIARK LET'S GOZODIARK LET'S GO
>>738982264halibuts a mold assy foid that made marlboros.
>>738982263You could find out the info with the Echo, and Emet and Venat already had their own reasons for everything before a time loop was retconned into the equation.
>calyx still aroundman hes so boring.
>>738982204What are you talking about.
>>738982264If that was true she would have killed Wuk on screen.
>>738982178The WoL can't really control the Echo, you know that right?
The game went to shit in Endwalker starting with 6.1. Everything bad about Dawntrail started in 6.1Game didn't get good again until PT.
whens the muslim berlin fanfest? i need to job theory on the retards.>judgefull retard
>>738982320 its not just about finding out the information which isnt guaranteed to gain through the echo as youre going back more than 10k years its to set Venat on her path to become Hydaelyn to gather enough aether to power the Mother Crystal which in turn gives enough energy to the Ragnorak ship to transport the Wol to the edge of the Universe to Meteions domain If you don't go back simply put you lose.
>>738981520Based,Based,bit cringe innit,Based,Ultra Based
>>738982368Echo activation is controlled by the writers.You're also wrong since Venat tells you how to activate it on command.
>>738982426>Venat tells you how to activate it on command.Yeah, after we travel back in time - which you deemed as unnecessary
>>738982368ok and? venat's force ghost kept showing up to tell us to go to the Dagobah system, surely at some point the mention of "elpis" or "dynamis" could have triggered a visionespecially since we're carrying azem's jolly rancher around
>>738982404Anon, do you not understand that you're justifying the retcon with the retcon itself? Yes, obviously the time loop is self fulfilling. The time loop also didn't exist as a concept in the story before that point. It didn't need to be written as time travel at all. You're using circular logic. Venat and Emet were doing their things in ShB before the time loop was ever conceived of by any writer.
>>738982426>>738982464i was hoping her teaching us how to get into dogs would mean anythingit hasnt
>>738982464So you concede that it is possible for WoL to activate it on command and simply needs to learn how?
I cant believe Venat genocided her people for a solution that wasn't even permanent.
>>738982404sure, except venat and azem were already considered overly-sentimental weirdos and almost certainly would have opposed repeat sacrifices no matter whatif anything venat's actions make sense without the time travel, since then it just goes back to her having a philosophical dispute with the ascianiggers about using zodiark to wish their problems away
Venat did nothing wrong.
>the mad man did it and steered itback to trancer shit lol
>>738982481The Echo isn't all powerful.It's good at picking up trace amounts of aether to reconstruct recent events, or to peer at the memories of someone's soul.But it becomes difficult if said event literally happened thousands of years ago.
>>738982561I think the time travel really just completely destroyed any interesting aspects of Venat's character. Knowing thr outcome ahead of time and doing it because she just became oddly obsessed with a time traveler takes a lot of weight out of her choices for me.
how could venonat do this
>>738982426Venat teaches the Wol how to activate the Echo. But that's only if you visit her in the past. You must go back there to gain prescient information. >>738982498It's not circular logic, it's the fulfillment of the story and motivation. In Shadowbringers you find out Venat/ Hydaelyn Sundered Zodiark but you don't discover who helped her, who helped Venat become Hydaelyn, why the End of Days happened in the first place, why Hydaelyn and Zodiark were needed, 'End of Days' it was not explained what set the End of Days up.Which is the entire motivation for the Wol to travel to the past, because the End of Days was happening in parts of Eitherys, the decision was made how the Ancients dealt with the End of Days but not only that perhaps that knew why it occured in the first place.Like a virus if you find the origin point you can find a way to combat it. Hydaelyn and Zodiark were merely half-measures, they were stop gaps that did not deal completely with the End of Days, Meteion was still out there the threat did not go away it was simply delayed.
>pull down a fiddie's pants>no gock
>>738982610In 5.3 we literally Echo vision Elidibus and see moments of Amaurot and of the time period shortly after the sundering 12,000 years ago.
>>738982529We've barely used the echo in DT, so I don't know
>>738982619
>>738982613Elpis as a whole was a mistake. They should have scrapped it and at least gave Garlemald 2 zones. One being the outskirts and the other just the entire city as a zone.
>>738982642Everyone in dawntrail is pathetically weak compared to Endwalker standards.
>>738982641Yeah, guess why that worked.Because Elidibus was right next to us.
>>738982610who said it was all powerful? literally all it needs to do is show us the meteia and a few snippets of the final days/sunderingneed I remind you that four of the fuckers that were there are still kicking around at that point
Guys you literally have the ability to use the echo in game, its in the duty finder settings, are you stupid??
>>738982628>zenostranny tranny tranny
>>738982642Hiroi is a hack. We barely used the echo in DT because our character the Wol was barely conscious in that expansion.Remember in Heritage Found where Zoraal Ja starts a coup against Robot Sphene? Where he destroys a robot of her and Wuk Lamat is standing ready to fight against him with Alisaie at her side?All of that going on and guess who else is right there that is very capable of defeating Zoraal Ja but does fuck all?Oh it's the Warrior of Light standing in the background just watching, not saying anything not even nodding just completely useless in the background as Zoraal Ja is trying to kill thousands of civilians with his Electrope ships and robot army. I hate that entire expansion dude, I truly hate it.
>>738982719hey numbnuts, guess how the time travel worked
>>738982625Anon, again, you are using the justification of the time travel given after the fact to say why it had to be that way at all. It's circular logic. At no point before the time travel is there any indication that WoL had to be in the past. There's no indication some outside force influenced Venat to become Hydaelyn, rather it's portrayed as her being led to that point after philosophical debates failed to turn the others away from their course of action. Yes, we understand there is a time loop in the story. There's no confusion there. This discussion is about why the writers made a time loop in the first place when we already have the power to view the past.
>>738982710i wonder if hiroi spends a lot of time on his dogshit scripts. its such a bad expansion
>>738982719The guy who was in the time machine and told you to go to Elpis and turned on the time machine for you? Yeah, I know.
>THE GARLEANS WERE WEAK I COULD TAKE OVER EORZEA EASILY>*proceeds to have his entire invasion force beaten by a crippled dragon who's favorite pass time is being an au ra shota*what did hiroi mean by this
>lore retard time
ah, another thread successfully derailedmy work here is done
>>738982784Wrong, even in Shadowbringers Azem was the one said to be the greatest influence on both Emet and Venat, and it was in Shadowbringers where we learned that we are a shard of Azem.
>>738982870AND WHERE IS THE GARLEAN EMPIRE NOW? OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.
Is Kate still working in Japan? Kek would be a shame if someone reported her for subversive activity to Japanese immigration.
>>738982902You being a reincarnation of Azem does not in any way require that you go back in time to have a date with Emet. You are not Azem. Azem is Azem.
>>738982264Can she give me an adventure in bed? a problem of how to break her will to solve?
>>738982902ok and?what part of that necessitates the shard of azem going back in time rather than, say, azem just being there and us seeing the memories of our own past life
>>738982956You completely missed the point of the motivation 'why' the Wol who is a shard of Azem went to Elpis. To discover the origin point of the End of Days.
>>738973785No, I still hate Zero. She actually is that bad. The only reason Zero gets a pass whereas Wuk Lamat doesn't is because of the reddit hivemind deciding that Dawntrail=bad (which is true) and Endwalker=good (most certainly not true for the patches). Zero is the same kind of abhorrent character that Wuk Lamat is; actually, she's worse in some regards.
>expansion is so bad they literally move back into the rising stones. not a new thing. just go back to the rising stones to say yea sorry dawntrail is shit. holy fuck fire this hiroi guy.
>>738982979>>738982992
>>738982889>ugly fag spreads miserylike clockwork
>>738982992and that could have been an echo visionno part of the story requires (You) specifically to have been thereyou could make the whole thing an echo vision and literally none of the on-screen events would change in any meaningful way
>>738983012Kek I haven't played since 7.0 is that true? They just went straight back to the Rising Stones? They haven't been there since... well, since when? I don't remember?
>>738983012You know that part of the dawntrail theme song that goes>WHERE DO WE GO WHERE DO WE GO WHERE DO WE GOit was a cry for help
>>738982992No, I didn't miss that. Are you high or something or are you just trying to be retarded on purpose? Nobody is confused about what was written in EW. What we're questioning is WHY the writers made it that way. Do you understand that? We're wondering WHY the WRITERS decided on time travel when using WoL's special power to view the past makes the story much less messy.
>>738983050How? The ability to control the Echo was not something the Wol knew how to do. It was taught to him by Venat in the past. You were already told that. There is no one else in the present capable of showing the Wol how to control the Echo to that extent. What you're asking for is a Deus Ex Machinia
>>738983063It hasn't been used since 6.0 ended. And yes we go back.Horay Boulder even gets a voice.
>>738983068NTAThe Echo can't view events that far in the past, unless it's a memory from someone else.
>>738983068I just explained the why to you. To discover the origin point of the End of Days. Why are you not understanding this point? Before you say you do, you're clearly not because this has got you completely flummoxed.
>>738982870>beaten by a crippled dragonWorseHe got beaten by cowboys shooting rubber pellets
>>738983105Elidibus was there.Also, Minfilia taught WoL to control the Echo on demand on 1.0. It's not secret knowledge only Venat has. It's also much more satisfying to have the story culminate in you mastering your special power and using it to reach back to the beginning.>>738983139I'm beginning to think you are actually brain damaged or something. >>738983138You view events from an earlier point in time in 5.3.
>>738983138>unless it's a memory from someone elseanon pleaselike an hour before that we killed the nigga that created the meteia in the first placeemet's ghost is following us aroundvenat herself has sent us multiple dms at this pointelidibus is still crammed in the time machine and even turns it on for youholy shit
>rape and murder based economy>if you do not give them free shit they will rape and murder you>if any of their countrymen dare to get a real job they will be raped and murdered for being a bootlicker
>>738983190My headcanon is Zenos inadvertently used the echo after your fight, reliving your entire life in his last moments, And wishing you would continue to live.
>>738983253uh oh. the chud are here.
>>738983190Mnfilia is dead did you forget? Even by Shadowbringers she's dead. Elidibus in the present day is not an ally he's a neutral at best and is only willing to give the last of his energy into the Crystal Tower to push the Wol back to Elpis but even he said that the Wol won't be able to interact or change events. It was merely through the intervention of Emet Selch gifting aether that allowed the Wol to interact when going back in time. >I'm beginning to think you are actually brain damaged or something.Projecting because you're incapable of understanding a basic point of motivation. You want this to be as complicated as possible because you don't believe a simple motivation can be reason enough it must be some 4d chess move story writing. When it was explicitly stated the motivation for traveling back to the time of the Ancient was to understanding how the End of Days occurred in the first instance, how the Ancients were so easily defeated. If there was any possibility of finding a clue to help combat the present End of Days threat.That is it.
>>738983285He absolutely wished the teleporter to you with his last breath.
>>738983382Yes, but why?
>>738983117I forgot, where did that wheelchair nigga went off to? Though I know he's having his dick sucked by Fordola atm
>>738983398because he's your friend, baka
>>738983285>>738983382tranny posts.
>>738983037NOOOOOOOOOO STOP AVATARFAGGING IN THE WAY i dont like ITTHIS CANT BE HAPPENING
can you guys post more art of zero or is this community fucking unsalvageable
>>738983285Zenos is alive because my femlala wol is carrying his child in the near future (alex said so) and can't do that if he dieded
>>738983440His last words was "I..." then the Echo experience started, then he wished with all his heart to save me. God I miss him so much...
>>738983367>Mnfilia is dead did you forget?No, you're not understanding the point. Minfilia was a random teenager who got the Echo and figured out how to do it on command. It's not lost, esoteric knowledge that can only be granted by Venat herself through time travel. It's a skill that can be learned. For that matter, the vision doesn't even need to be willed on command. It can happen the same way it does any other time in the story.>Elidibus in the present day is not an ally he's a neutral at bestThat literally does not matter. Elidibus is there, we can get an Echo vision off of him.>When it was explicitly stated the motivation for traveling back to the time of the Ancient was to understanding how the End of Days occurredAnon, I understand that. I don't know how many times I have to repeat this before you get it into your head. There is no confusion about the events of the story, or the justification of those events within the story. We are talking about why the WRITERS (real life non-fiction people outside the story) chose to write it that way when they already had a vehicle for revealing information from the past sitting in front of them.Again, I understand why the Warrior of Light, the character in the story, went to the past. That is not what is in question here. If you need this in your native language, please put this post through the LLM of your choice.
>>738983431Arenvald's dick don't work no more.Fordola has other bulls to keep her company though, like Raubahn.
>>738983518good morning sar
Video game generals belong on /vg/
>>738983514>That literally does not matter. Elidibus is there, we can get an Echo vision off of him.NTAElidibus's memories were all kinds of fucked.And even if they weren't, he didn't know anything that could have given us a useful Echo flashback.
>>738983560kek
>>738983574They were fucked while he was a primal but he got his clarity back after he got anal vored. Remember he was able to suddenly recall you being in Pandaemonium? All they have to do is place him in the inspection party with Emet and Hythlo.
>>738981586Well that was absolute hell to get logged into
>>738983641AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHWhat was that multiple gigabytes I downloaded then
>>738983671lol
>>738973785Maybe someone more competent wrote her in 7.5
>>738983637>>738983574Actually I also just remembered a moment in 1.0 when you get an Echo vision off of Y'shtola while you're already inside an Echo vision. They could have done some kino where you Echo Elidibus, go back to the debates, then Echo off of Venat or Emet from there, and keep bouncing back deeper and deeper.
>>738983671I have never seen that error. What did you even do?
ok guys what if everything since endwalker is actually just zenos having an echo-induced fever dream while he bleeds out on the edge of time and spacethink about it>first major story arc stars two people he knew personally and has the two of you fighting superdemons, culminating with fighting a dragon/superdemon hybrid mix on the moon>next major story arc stars multiple retard fight autists having a retard fight autist contest to see who the biggest retard fight autist is>on a continent he's never actually been to but is conveniently full of super-powerful monsters to huntthink about it, it makes perfect sense
>>738983698>>738983746I remember now I canceled out of the installer front page after installing something thinking I had just opened it twice, but I guess I had actually only installed playonline not the gamethe new problem is that it seems despite me telling it to use the E drive it still wants to put a bunch of stuff in my full up C driveNever fall for the tiny boot drive meme kids, it's been a constant problem for me
>>738983810tranny post
>>738983828why else would wol take such a passive role in everything post-ew then, hmm?
>>738980839Me tooIt's what xiv players deserve
>>738983514Mnfilia learned not from the void but because Hydaelyn taught her, she was speaking to Mnfilia and teaching her which is why she was the head of the Scions even though she had no powers or combat prowess to speak of. But at the end of ARR she was dead and Hydaelyn went increasingly quiet. About Elidibus it does matter, it's character motivation and he's not prepared to help you, he wants to be left alone and return to the Star. The condition where he helped the Wol in Endwalker was on condition that it would finally release him from his purgatory and be returned to the sea of souls. The writers chose to write it that way because they wanted the Wol, the player character to experience a part of the Ancients in their prime and the motivation for that is the End of Days.Again you're trying very hard here not to understand what is right in front of you.
does he know?
I played up FFXI up until ToAU a few years ago but I basically only played the story and never had to interact with anyone.With the introduction of the new free trial, is there a chance thay I will be able to experience the multiplayer aspect of the base game?
>>738983190>I'm beginning to think you are actually brain damaged or somethingYou are talking to someone with an active xiv sub.
>>738983928>they wanted the Wol, the player character to experience a part of the Ancients in their primeis literally the only part of what you said that anybody else is talking aboutwhy do that when it makes several major characters look like giant fucking retards and there are easier ways to tell the same story
>>738983928Hydaelyn was not a name anyone knew in 1.0. She was the leader of the Scions because Louisoix appointed her after seeing her run the Path of the Twelve effectively.>they wanted the Wol, the player character to experience a part of the Ancients in their primeThat could have been accomplished through the Echo. That's what you're not understanding. Every single thing could have been accomplished through the Echo.Imagine you're in the writers room:>Okay we have a protagonist with the special power to view the past. Throughout his journey he has used this power to uncover vital information that changes the course of his journey.>In the finale, he has to discover the root of all the conflict so he can handle it effectively.>Should we give narrative satisfaction by having him master his ability and ultimately use it to save everything thing?>Or should we ignore it and write a time loop so messy it requires a memory wipe to work at all?Tell me, what is the better option here?
>>738984063There's essentially 0 reason to ever do any multiplayer until endgame in modern XI.
>>738984198I know you won't like this answer because you're autistic but Rule of Cool. >>738984219I want you to understand that telling a game story is a balance between what is coherent and consistent within the game world and what is interesting. Say we do exactly what you say don't go to Elpis, don't experience Emet Selch, Hythlodaus, Elpis itself, Venat and the Ancients. We don't experience Pandemonium, or any of the storylines there, any of it. That we're simply given out answer in a single cutscene of an echo.You get your answer but where is your game experience? Where is the discover, where is the wonder? It doesn't exist if they were to strictly follow your method. Which is why they wrote the story they wrote to gain both logical consistency within the parameters of the world they had created but also give the player a wonderous gameplay experience. This isn't a book even though at times it does play like a Visual Novel, considerations have to be made for more than simply cutscene to cutscene.
>>738984462Anon, you can experience all that with the Echo. It doesn't need to be a cutscene. The Echo in 1.0 was all fully interactive dreamscapes that WoL could walk around in, talk to people, fight things, even take objects into and out of. The memories of the subject would be permanently altered to think that WoL's meddling is what actually happened, but not the actual past itself.This also occurs in ARR when Cid has the memory of WoL giving him his goggles.
>>738984462it's not cool thoughit's contrived and drags the story down>wondrous gameplay experienceyeah the wondrous gameplay experience of... watching a few cutscenes, a dogshit dungeon, and one of the worst zones in the game
>>738984568Yes I am right in seeing it's 2026 I had to double check because you keep mentioning 1.0. 1.0 released in 2010 over 16 years ago. Why would you think they would create any gameplay features based on a failed version of the game?
>>738984595>I know you won't like this answer because you're autistic but Rule of Cool.I said you wouldn't like the answer, I was right. Your experience is not mirrored over the vast majority of those who experienced Elpis, you're a minority voice.
>>738984628I dunno anon, why is Lunar Subterrane an entire dungeon happening in an echo visioni.e. the exact thing we all keep describing
>>738984628Because the story began in 1.0 and they still call back to it even up through Endwalker. So are you acknowledging that they absolutely could have done the entire Elpis segment, explorable zone, character interactions, the whole shebang, inside an Echo vision? The same type of Echo vision that also occurs in ARR when WoL meddles inside Cid's memories?Concession accepted you retarded bitch.

>>738983449uh oh faggot melty
>>738984994>ummmmm if you criticize something I liked it means you're delusionalhow would you feel if you hadn't eaten breakfast today
>>738984709A single dungeon? When they wanted to create an entire zone with multiple story lines, voiced and unvoiced cutscenes, with lore, creatures and a glimpse into the World of the ancients as they lived not through a memory. That was their intention.>>738984714Yes the story began in 1.0 that isn't what I said, I said they're not going to take gameplay features from 1.0 a failed version of the game. You're talking about 1.0 so I'm assuming you've been around the game long enough to know the disdain Yoshida has for that version of the game and how he uses it as a gold standard in his reputation. If he starts retreating back to 1.0 and using gameplay features of that version of ff14 it's an admittance that the game was not a failure, something he has maintained for well over a decade.Which is to say you're not being anywhere near realistic in your expectations to think the devs would revive any gameplay from 1.0 into the game now. They don't even acknowledge TP anymore.
>>738985132Dead on arrival.
>>738985073Interesting because your uncritical responses are showing that your inner monologue is non-existent in not understanding that a game is made to be entertainment, thinking that people enjoying it, is somehow not a good thing.
>>738985130>When they wanted to create an entire zone with multiple story lines and blah blah blah blahall could have been done as an echo visionliterally two lines of dialogue establishing, say, that Azem was there and everyone in the zone sees you as Azem the exact same way Durante sees you as Golbez

I hate time travel so much its unreal
>>738984767WAR, all three.
>>738983285I really don't get Zenosfags.
>>738985213Yes it could have been done like but that's not what they wanted to do as I've already explained. They wanted to give the player an experience a taste of what it was like around the Ancients as they lived not as memory fragments but as living beings. You can't do that in a dungeon. You can do that with an echo cutscene maybe, the closest I can think is when you're given a glimpse into the first Azure Dragoon after the original King and Houses had take Nidhogg's eyes. We get a glimpse into them as the reason behind the high Houses e.t.c. but that wasn't uniquely portraying Ishgard life that the player character had not experienced before unlike the Ancients in Elpis. There was no analog in the present day.

>>738986665>>738986703A question to all, is there any important character missing? Disclaimer: bosses don't really count since they're using custom models.
>You see, us Mamool Ja were merely pretending to be retarded whenever we were in Eorzea and speaking the common tongue>We are actually linguistic masters and there is no other explanation for why we no longer speak like “You no take candle” during this expansion>Echo translating Tural’s native language? Nah, that’s stupid.What a fucking bizarre bit of writing.
>>738987105Momodi and Edda? And I assume kids also have custom models, right?
>>738986872She's kinda a special case, since her model isn't using a player model. Same thing for Ryne, Kan-E-Senna, Venat, Zero, Sphene and probably few more.
>>738980487Zero literally is Wuk Lamat except her spotlight hogging was drip-fed through multiple patches instead of a single serving.
>>738975880Wut
>>738987226holy shit lmao
>>738987350I was avoiding Lalafells, but it's like thatTataru - 50Krile - 50Nanamo - 50Momodi - 75Giott - 100Fufucha (Botanist Guild Master) - 100I don't know/remember any other important female Lalafells.Also Edda - 0 Oh, and I was avoiding kids.
>>738975754There was a bit where Thancred's girlfriends rushed into the Rising Stones
I find it a really funny project. Most characters have a default bust size at 50, yet someone at Square Enix decided that some are at 0, some at 100 and some rare at at 25 or 75. For example V'kebbe is at 100.
>>738987442I got it all in one serving though and I liked her
This game is poop. Every single time I think of coming back due to all the paid shilling here and free game time promotions all I can remember is boredom and tedium.
>>738987442the writing was already on the wall with Zero which is why I didn't buy DT
So I haven't subbed since before dawntrail but I swear I remember linking my steam account to my square enix account and being able to login with that back around shadowbringers or endwalker, but I can't find any evidence of that connection in the mogstation or on my own steam page... have I mandela'd myself or was this a thing? I think I remember using it to login while using XIVLauncherI'm just trying to work out which credentials I'll use if I try out this free game time atm
>>738988205mine is linked for payment purposes but i still have to use the square enix account to log in
>>738988031That's ok. We're kinda full right now anyways.
>>738981469true. fuck dawntrails trannies and fuck yoshi-p. hope he diees or quit
>>738988702I am permaangry square enix despite the huge shadowbringers and endwalker fund injections never really tried to fix or improve the game and instead funneled all that shit to other failed projects.
>>738988823lol ok.
>>738988849thanks for reading my blog I really needed to get that off my chest and remind myself why I quit this shit in the first place
>>738988889see you next thread lmao
>>738988823Forspoken, Babylon's Fall, Killer Inn, Foamstars, FF16, FF7r 1,2, and the soon to be third game plus a myriad other games. It will never not piss me off. Not a single one of these games were able to pay for their own production and make a profit all had to rely on FF14 money. With the exception of FF16 and FF7remake... maybe but FF16 still took resources away from FF14 not just money but experienced devs away from FF14. It was very noticeable.
>>738988918don't think so
>>738988956dont care
>wol never gave her the piroshki
Please tell me they aren't rehiring this fucker?
>>738974750by the twelve one should not have any problems felching the gallon of cum out of zeros voidsent pussy. it should in fact be ones duty as her admirer
You guys are disgusting.She doesn't even know what sex is.
>cant do trials by yourselfYou guys lied to me
>>738989537then why she sexy?
>>738989138>Begging to be rehiredWe're never seeing Wuk again.
>>738989590lol
>>738989138They're definitely going to rehire her unless specifically (You) go to Twitter and tell everyone how awful Wuk is and how she killed the game.

>>738988494mogstation is still complete cancer to navigate but I found a page that lets you add registered platforms to your account -- steam is already greyed out so it looks like I should be able to use itwhat was stuck in my mind is I think when logging in using steam it would skip the in-game login screen and go straight in, or at least to the server/character select maybe... I'll see how it plays out
>>738990470It is, they even live stream themselves cheating and square doesn't care.
>>738989537>She doesn't even know what sex is.I will teach her, Y'shtola can join in too.
>>738990125Not that anon, but i had that 12 years ago... Then i got over it and the FC i was in pushed my to push my comfortzone to higher end content.and then Launch Titania (Normal) back in ShB brought it back, i can't even remember what happened, just that it was the worst run i ever had.
>>738990747Her pussy will literally suck life force out of you until you die
>>738973925Why can't they just add a scene for people who played that side content or change some dialogues?
>the game is too scared to get dark now>Stormblood was good because it had rape in it>it got too sanitized and safe with Shadowbringersmy brother in christ Endwalker has suicide, children crying out to their parents as they have body horror inflicted upon them before being murdered in front of said parents, mothers being crushed to death while cradling their children>hurdur it's not rape so it's not dark
>>738992057It's not visceral enough.We need mangled corpses and brains spilling out, eyes melting out of their sockets.
>>738992057it's the usual issue of "violence = okay, sexual themes = big nono"
>>738992057shut the fuck up. people like you that like dawntrail need to kys. you killed my favorite game nad let fucking wuk lamat ruin it. im so glad i didnt buy dt at all, i saw the writing on the wall. -75 dollar + 15 dollar each month, i hope yoshi-p regret messing with me
>>738992267>shut the fuc-stopped reading.
>>738988080Same, I got to 6.1 and dropped the game. I waited for 7.0 reviews to see if I should do the 6.X series while skipping, but nope. I wonder if in 8.0 I'll be able to fully skip 6.X and 7.X
I don't know why I like the combat of this fucking game, I just do.Anything single player I can get into to scratch that itch so I don't feel tempted to resub to this shitpile?
COMPLETEZEROVICTORY
>>738992590Xenoblade series. If you want story focused do 1, 2, 3. If you want open world stuff and mechas, do X.
>>738992590uuuuuhhh Xenoblade Chronicles?
>>738983190Anon I get that you're really passionate about this but I genuinely don't understand why you are even bringing up plot points from 1.0 when the canon of your WoL even being in fucking Eorzea IN 1.0 is determined by if the character you are playing on your account was created in 1.0 or not.If you have a new account from ARR and beyond, canonically the Warriors of Light of 1.0 have all seemingly faded from history, with your character being a fresh face arriving in Eorzea. Any intimate plot points from 1.0 can't be referenced because for the 99% of accounts that exist today, their character is not a WoL who fought in the battle of carteneau and was transported forward in time by Louisoix (which already establishes that the means to move through time have been double reinforced by both 1.0 and crystal tower anyway) Like I'm sorry man, I miss my flirty Miqo'te adventuring fellow too, but that shit is all gone.
>>738993347>flirty Miqo'tethey should bring this back, what with all the focus on duty support and what not
>>738992590>single playerMaybe White Knight Chronicles or SAO Hollow Fragment (the other ones are more like action games).>so I don't feel tempted to resub to this shitpile?Create a free trial account, I'm sure it will "scratch that itch" before you hit the trial's level cap.
>>738971639terminal autism
>>738993454If the adventuring fellow ever came back their narrative arc would have ended in SB anyway, they were just a secret Ala Mihgan resistance fighter in the end.
>>738973925Making a normal raid required is one thing.Making all roles at 80 and then doing all their role quests a requirement is another.>>738974770They refuse to make stuff like this required mainly because the Japanese fanbaseb itches about it.
>>738993671hey man don't talk about my wife like that
>>738974646If that was the plan, then it's working.
>>738990864Did you turn the tank buster on the group?
>>738975416popping into the rift for no reason at the right time is how Emet, Lahabrea, and Elidibus avoided being sunderedZero was already half-voidsent before the flood, and maintained the ability to transform into her human form as a full voidsent
>>738982178Because we never were told anything about a Meteion or Endsinger or Dynamis. Ergo Hydaelyn didn't know about it, ergo we couldn't pursue it.We went to Elpis to find the cause of the Final Days, and in the process that clever cunt Venat found it we're time travelers and forced us to fess up. In the process, she learned of what she had to do for that future to remain as is, and so she did it.With the only big difference being that she knew about Meteion this time, and placed a magical GPS tracker on her so she could be found in the current age and stopped.Naturally, this is all the writers going "the problem requires this solution because it just does," but if they had gone "well the source of this problem has always been this thing in the current age that has been constantly present but you and Hydaelyn both just kind of ignored it this whole time," then people wouldn't be happy about it either.
>>738973997You're not thinking regressive enough, the teaser trailer for Evercold was obviously tickling your Heavensward nostalgia by showing the WoL fighting alongside Alphinaud and Estinien. Expect more of that in the actual expansion.
>>738990490>steam is already greyed out so it looks like I should be able to use itWindows and Steam licenses are mutually exclusive with each other, so if you had the standalone version of the game it's impossible to link to Steam
>>738992057Stormblood's "rape" was a footnote.More of a quirky "btw this background-background-background-background character implies she was sexually abused" that Koji probably put in there without any real further intention but to make war seem grim (which it is).Shadowbringers has someone physically mutate into a monstrous creature on screen while screaming in agony, and Endwalker has a kid turning into a monster and then being trampled by a bigger monster.Dawntrail has... idk, I guess it has the dead baby cave and fridge horror of Disney Alexandria.
>>738989590They're working on it, making everything doable solo is clearly a priority, but the attention is going to ruining old dungeons for ai first, trials will come later, some of the later trials can be done with AI though
>>738994074As said, i don't remember, but i think it was one of the addphases that caused the crash out, so i think it was the DPScheck failing, not to go "never my fault" on that though since my DPS would still contributed even as a Tank.
>>738992057>Stormblood was good because it had rape in itIf we get another expansion that starts with a NPC trauma-dumping me about being forced to suck a dick or two next to her father's corpse I will install that auto-skip plugin thing.

>>738994448Titania is still the first time the OT has to work in the msq. It's ok
>>738994408>that Koji probably put in there without any real further intention but to make war seem grimHe's done this since ARR. Any mentions of outright rape in EN are not there in JP. The worst implication was the Satasha cave visually (but never in text).The Little Ala Mhigo section? That girl just escaped when her squad was ambused, no mention of any rape.e
>>738994304Extended trailer will have Alisaie with a new job because her and Alphinaud is a package deal for whatever reason. Them both leaving garlean community confirms that too.
While Evangelion is the main cross over, I hope they sneak in some other Square property stuff if we're going to a Norse themed local
>>738994645Alisaie as the new ranged dps?
>>738994645They've both been casters, I can't see them going physical.Unless the ranged DPS will allow charging of magic into the ammo.Oh. Like what Gunbreaker does. Oh, and like what Linkle does with her bolts.So y'know what, maybe.
>>738986665>Merlwyb - 50Only half of her power, and yet she breast-mogs the entire cast
>>738994765RNG does massive magic damage in XI with trueflight on crossbows
>>738994193There's also the big Azem shaped elephant in the room of just exactly how much they were also aware of what the future will bring, and how much were they doing behind the scenes to ensure things go as they planned.We know Azem is/was aware of our existence, because they told Elidibus the exact date, time, and location for him to run into us when we return to Elpis later for the Pandemonium story. We know Azem had created Ethos and stored it inside the key well before the final days, and we know that Azem had been to Alzadaal's Legacy because his sigil is engraved into the very walls behind you when approaching the final boss room, which also conveniently set us on the path to learn how we can stabilize the aetheric balance between shards by connecting them together, like what we have done now to the 1st and 13th. Conveniently every other remaining shard suffers from an elemental aetheric crisis that could be stabilized with the aether of another shard.Hell, the only reason why we even looked for Alzadaal's Legacy was because Emet double-dog dared us to do it before dying (for real this time we swear). The same guy who happened to create the special JO crystal we've been using to solve most of our problems, restored the forms of our friends, and interfaces with Ethos to allow us to create portals to other shards. Was Emet just that intimate with Azem to have the foresight when creating the crystal to do that, or was Emet privy to information given to him by Azem to help ensure that their grand scheme can go as planned?
>Venat 100Now imagine how big that is compared to sundered people.She could literally crush you with her tits
>>738994960Azem is us from the future
>>738994641I wonder how much overlap there is between the groups that bitch about EN localization being le bad and JP being superior, and the groups that bitch that XIV was better when it had rape in ARR and SB.
>>738994960Azem could probably predict emer selchs behavior. And I wouldn't put too much stock into the azem symbol in the wall at alzadaals legacy, it hasn't happened at any of the other places on emer selchs list
>>738995027That's literally the dumbest thing they could do
>>738984968Best malera face.
>>738985871If you can make green memers, you can make based ark angels
>>738994631Im trying to remember harder and i think i got it. It was actually about like two players still being in Scaevan Gear, i don't remember if it was augmented or not, and that made one guy start to go full on schizorage after he noticed after the second wipe. It wasn't so much the over as it was him overreacting HARD. In hindsight i think he was probably rushing to endgame since this was second or third day after launch.I was a little bitch back then who spoiled myself on tactics too.
>>738994960I'm really riding on Azem being the final boss of this game as a whole, like the Venat duel but this time it's for the inheriting the future and will of adventure.
>>738994948Hmm... I wonder what exactly their criteria of being "XIV Original" is if it has a weapon from a existing job. Like Viper was called "original" but dual blades were a thing from Zidane. I guess to them it's the job name being "original" and not exactly copying how the classic one functions.
>>738995027This has literally been my theory of Azem for a while. I've been starting to think that we're not the reincarnation of Azem, but in fact Azem's literal sundered self in the middle of a greater time loop we're not aware of yet.The only way to explain Azem's clairvoyance is either a special power we're not aware of, or Azem is us who at some point in the future traveled to the ancient past to serve our role as Azem while trying to set the stage for our sundered self in the future to follow in order to stop whatever greater crisis is coming. A time traveler Azem would have all the same information and power of foresight a clairvoyant Azem would have, and with consideration that Azem's symbol itself can be interpreted as an Ouroboros, which can be seen as a visual metaphor for a time loop, I think there is enough merit to at least keep the idea in the back of people's mind as I have no doubt the "Godless saga" will dive much deeper into Azem as a whole. They're by far the biggest chekhov's gun in the narrative right now.
>>738995267I think they're strictly referring to JOBS and not characters. Zidane was a character, but his "job" was Thief. So a job based on the character focusing on all his unique aspects not tied to the Thief job is technically a new original job.
we are never meeting azem
>>738995364I had an idea once that since we're part of Azem (Source's part + all rejoined part + the First's part) then there might be another that's collecting Azem's parts. One that has some special power that forces others to be rejoined with his soul or that maybe steals some of your parts... Could be a nice recurring villain for some shard hopping expansion or expansions.
>>738995027this is dumb and wouldn't work because then all the ascians and ancients would IMMEDATLY recognize us because we would be their current azem and referred to as such.
>>738995068There has been no other hidden symbols of Azem no (which is a disappointment, I found the hidden symbol in 6.1 to be one of the most interesting little hints that they've done in a while and it would have been really cool if they kept adding more throughout the game like hidden mickeys at Disney World) but Azem's shadow has been looming over all of the major plot beats since EW. Ethos was critical to the Malalas escaping the 5th calamity until it could land in the hands of Alexandria, which eventually leads to Ethos coming into our hands when we take it from Endless Sphene. Azem and their legacy has been a specter haunting the narrative ever since 6.1.
>>738995267>their criteria of being "XIV Original"I think Yoshi was trying to explain why "Gunbreaker" is a thing now (since they can't really call it "Machinist Paladin" or something like that) rather than trying to come up with a new ruleset for upcoming classes.
>>738971639i don't like that zero's eyes moved twice but the camera only moved once
>>738994864damn straight
>>738995260I don't know about final boss but I always thought that Azem wasn't completely innocuous and benevolent. I feel like the autism that marks every single other ancient we've seen who become hyperfixated on their job and purpose is also prevalent in Azem, who will do anything to make sure that we as their inheritor will have the biggest adventure that has ever existed, which just involves a continuous streak of world and universe ending events. And I think at some point even WoL wants to settle down or have something much less high stakes.
>>738995613Maybe? It's an interesting idea to be put in opposition to a shard of our soul that is simply unchecked villainous ambition compared circumstance like Ardbert, but we already had an analog for facing another warrior without peers and unchecked ambition with our rivalry with Zenos, and in this case such a character would be small fry to begin with. Remember, the WoL is already 1 rejoining "stronger" than any other mortal on the Source from getting the opportunity to rejoin with Ardbert, and the reflection of Azem of the 13th was the original Golbez, who is now nothing more than a Memoria crystal. Unless something is done about that, there's only 4 shards of Azem remaining between the other worlds that exist, if any of them are still alive at the moment and not just adrift in the lifestream.
>>738994979She's nearly 18 feet.
>>738986665>>738986703Now we just need butt values.
They really need to update Varis' model stat.
>>738994620>16 years old btwage of consent in 80% of the US btw
>>738995643Well, idk if it's really hidden but there is the question of Azim's Steppe, and considering we are getting a xaela expansion, I feel like me might en route to unraveling who Azim, the Dawn Father, was.
>>738981104This one really flustered the Mexican weebs>you're objectively correct
>>738995625If the Azem who traveled to the past was merely our 8 parts rejoined self, sure, but what of a WoL who managed to rejoin with the remaining 5 shards of their soul to become an unsundered being again? We know that it's possible for us to rejoin with the shards of our soul without a calamity to do it for us because we did exactly that with Ardbert. The people of Elpis could dismiss us as nothing more than a familiar because of our aether (which keep in mind, they only presume that because we share their aether but as a lesser being. It's not a matter of fact, but merely a presumption by the ancients within the context of their society.) The theory itself is not meant to imply that the endgame of XIV is going to be us walking around as ancient in the unsundered world expansion, merely that the crisis of the solstice itself could be a grand time loop Azem has been stuck in with each loop leading to Azem making different decisions in order to create the conditions to break the cycle and save the future.
>>738996489Ahh AoC factoids, the pedophile's "umm ackchully"

>>738996860The real grind was Triple Triad all along
>>738996590You fags call 25 year olds children nowadays, 16 isnt pedophilia lol there's a huge difference in development by then. It's too young for me as they're retarded, but I've seen you people call 18 year olds dating 16 year olds pedophiles, as well as 45 year olds dating 30 year olds. Americans for being the most degenerate freaks on the planet are fucking weird about this, has to be projection since their country is run by pedophile jews.
>>738996940
>>738996940>ahaaa you're so developed though :) romeo & juliet laws btw>the JEWWWSSSSS don't want you to cruise for teen pussyyyyyyy

>>738997042>that horrible hrt laden snarkOh you're trans, definitely projecting then, how encrypted is your HD bro?
>>738971639Everything has its beginning. But it doesn't start at "one." It starts long before that, in chaos. The world is born... from zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes two, two becomes ten, ten becomes 100. Taking it all back to one solves nothing. So long as Zero remains, one... will eventually grow to 100 again.

>>738996243soon when they ACTUALLY add the butt slider
>>738982573Theoretically she did something wrong but because it was the ancients I don't really care. how they would later become ascians and constantly defend the ends justifying the means by doing anything they could regardless of ethics is kind of proof that if it wasn't meteion they would eventually destroy their world with something else by playing god in some other retarded way.People forget Venat is also an ancient, her genociding everyone is apart of the ancient mindset of needing to fix everything by playing with everyone's lives, you're attacking the ancient mindset to defend the ancients that would cause the problems that that would destroy everything and themselves just to solve problems/discover things that didn't really matter compared to the end of the world.In reality she's THE ancient to end all ancients.
Knew you guys missed her.

bench alisaie.
>>738998026I've been trying to bench her (if you catch my drift)
>>738998026bench alisaie and take hoary boulder in her place, right? faggot?
>>738998026I'd rather bed her.
>>738998065yea im tired of alisaie pet arcs that do nothing for the story but pad. Hoary boulder can get some characterization. The aerslant b team scions are missing too so were good.
>>738995027>>738995364That would make the WoL a bootstrap paradox. He has no origin or end. "Azem -> sundered -> WoL -> Rejoins -> goes back to the past to be Azem" is an endless cycle. Which is kind of... horrifying.
is it worth to come back? haven't played since 2022
>>738997948From a character standpoint I can tolerate more annoying characters that feel like actual effort was put into making them believable and not just copy pasting a bunch of shitty anime tropes ie Zero they even had the cringe special ability that makes them indispensable

>>738998126Exactly like a snake eating it's own tail. Sure seems odd to me how much this game has been wanting us to think about serpents and the ourobors, right?
>>738998126He wouldn't be the first bootstrap paradox the game has introduced
>>738998194god dammit.
The biggest problem is that Cylva gets better dialogue and characterization in one quest than Zero gets in an entire patch series
>>738998162Lyse was just a dumb, annoying cunt.It took until past 4.1 for Lyse to get tolerable.And it took her showing up in Endwalker for a short bit for people to go "Oh hey it's Lyse! So nice to see you again, Lyse," the same way people just did for Zero in 7.5.
I dunno. I skipped all cutscenes with her in it, she seems to be some donut steel OC
Come on guys, let's get to 500!I need to make the next one!
>>738998305"Somebody's original the character" is literally every character
>>738998193>Bringing back the most nonsensical twist for mere nostalgiaIt worked in 1987 because stories in video games were special back then.
>>738971639>cursor on screenwebm ruined.
god damn, we really used to live like this?
>>738998360I can tell who didn't read Homestuck as a teenager because that shit was utterly rocking convoluted time travel and loopholing around paradoxes, nobody got confused by time travel plots for a good few years, and now people are getting confused by time travel againWho knew a load bearing piece of fiction was going to be one fat lipped retard's TORtanic comic
>>738998265People like you who simply repost the same thing year after year while Lyse was far and away replaced in how hated a character she is in Wuk Lamat and yet you show zero energy in shitting on Wuk Lamat that you have done for Lyse. You're a bot.
>>738998531I'm responding to someone saying Lyse wasn't so bad.History proves that wrong. Lyse, and Stormblood, were hated.
>>738998568>>738998531Nobody gives a shit anymore forever in about nine months, better make it worth your time while it lasts
>>738998531You can see people's posting history?
>>738998660He has the Echo.
>>738998493We're talking about FF1, not Homestuck
>>738998717Sugoi.....
>>738998471There's still a pretty insane linear progression of texture and model quality throughout each expansion, even after the "graphics revamp" for ARR gear (retexturing + updated materials) it's still really obvious which gear was made in the PS3 days and which wasn't>>738998728FF1 shouldn't confuse anybody either
Shale sex
>>738998568ding ding ding ding ding ding ding have you hit your monthly wuk hating quota ding ding ding ding ding
>>738998825Uohhhhh extremely long arms and legs wrapping around your back
>>738998752>FF1 shouldn't confuse anybody eitherMaybe if we're assuming multiple timelines.But I doubt that's what the writer of FF1 was going for.
>>738998071This is going to be extremely autistic, but I finally figured out why alisae does nothing for meI love smelling hair, and her hair looks like cosplayer hair, aka fake plasticProbably always subconscious but now I finally get it; the world is clearer
when are we getting good girls in the main party
>>738994334nuke japan
The whole thing about Lyse discourse atm reminds me when I was in line at Fanfest, I was next to that tall Dancing Green cosplayer.He straight up outright mentioned Lyse being a "white blue eyed girl trying to help". People that hate Lyse are unironically browns that are salty about white saviors.
>>738998752>There's still a pretty insane linear progression of texture and model quality throughout each expansion, even after the "graphics revamp" for ARR gear (retexturing + updated materials) it's still really obvious which gear was made in the PS3 days and which wasn'tI think the only ARR gear that got an update so far is the nation leader gear, the Scion gear, and job AF gear?Results indeed vary. White Mage AF update is indeed an update, but it's so underwhelming compared to Dragoon or Warrior or Paladin AF update.When every piece of gear is updated (in 2096), there are some pieces they should return to. Looking at you, Hien's gear.
>>738998886FF1 heavily implies each Game Over a player encounters is a failed time loopAssuming Elpis even takes G'raha's timeline into account is massively overcomplicating things when the whole point of that timeline is it's an aberration where some things happened differently or may not have happened at all; the only thing it needs to come together seamlessly is WoL going back to ask about the Final Days, something that he might be asking about under basically any other Ascian-contrived circumstances and possibly from a more Alexander-derivative time travel method instead of a Crystal Tower-based one, the actual hows and whys of the Elpis visit aren't important as much as that it happened
>>738998975So true. 4chan in 2017 was full of brown people hating white saviors.All while calling the people being saved "mhiggers", by the way.
>>738999064Yep. Glad we agree.
>>738998980Leader gear, Scion outfits, artifact armor, and racial starting gearMetal materials did get the best end of the stick by far, cloth the short one (even Dawntrail's WHM artifact looks pixelated and it's under the new graphical quality) and leather can be a grabbag of whether it looks amazing or doesn't look better than before
mhiggers, garleniggers, alisaieniggers, stormniggers. fuck off.
>>738999131It's metal > leather > felt(ish) > pure cloth is how I feel about it.
Oyakodon with Alisaie and Ameliance.
>>738999297There's really good felt like Astrologian's Dawntrail artifact and then there's normal-bad felt like pretty much everything before it
>>738999102Good to know 2017 /v/ was le cringe pozzed white-hating and 2026 /v/ is way, way better and full of chadly aryan white nationalists
>>738999342I thought red mage's felty look was also kinda good. But iirc it dyed awfully.
>>738999305off model alisaie.
>>738998964why do you want your game to have double DRM
>>738999305Add Alphinaud and it's a party
>for my narrative i need lyse to be beloved by everyone who matters>"uhh back when lyse was widely hated it was the pernicious astroturfing of my political enemies the vocal majority of based people thought she was actually super awesome!!!"I'm glad I'm not this mentally broken to be honest.
>>738999565Everybody that uses FFXIV as some kind of ideological battleground should be put up against a wall and blindfolded
>>738999525No, I just want Alisaie and Ameliance.Alphinaud can, I dunno.. watch - listen, whatever.
>>738999626kinky
picture of your favorite blonde girl in a red bikini
>>738999652THE BUGGERING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES
>>738999626Agreed on that.
>>738999653
the woke hate lyse because she's a white savior so she's based
lyse could have been some other character. Yda my muslce freak sharlayan pe professor should have been the dps scion that alisaie thinks she is.
>people still miss the point that Zenos understood the WoL more than anyone elseZenos and the WoL had the more or less the same obsession, just like him strong and we love to seek adventure and the thrill that it comes from overcoming the odds, but we don't know yet if Azem's gift was actually worth it or not in the long term.
>>738999921I just think she's annoying and dumb.
>>738999998zenos tranny with low media literacy saw zenos stupid scythe and pog trannied out.
garlenigger larpers seething every thread. EW was a gift.
>>739000056???It's literally what he says before he fights you at the end of 6.0. He's gone, but he understood the true nature of the warrior of light more than anyone else.
Zenos should've been a woman.
>>739000165thermonvclear trvth bomb
>>738999853i don't get it. would you prefer her to be in a bikini but also launching spells of great devsatation and having a big, bouncy wizard hat?
hopefully next thread doesnt have a autistic fuck like that azem echo guy and his feeder
>>738999998Zenos was a similar guy but with no scruples or guiding principles he's a rabid animalThe closest analogy is probably Zero in Mega Man whose entire character arc is being comfortable with the fact he's a weapon, mostly because he trusts he's being guided to what's right and being a weapon in the right directions by moral beacons, X and later CielWoL is still a more independent character than this and Zenos also deserves the courtesy that he's a grown-ass man and still came to the decisions he did, but Zenos is purposeless and WoL is not, Durante/Golbez is more evidence towards this where Durante is just completely lost and commits to a stupid plan and his biggest coping mechanism is assuming his moral beacon's identity and armor
>>739000194it took that stupid cunt alisaie screeching at him for trannyzos to understand anything. holy fuck youre dumb zenos trannies and garloid larpers have no media literacy.
>>739000257He was right though, time travel fucked up Venat's character. "Visiting" Elpis by echo would have been better.
for me it's garlean community
>>739000402Venat had little or nothing of a character before we saw her in Elpis
>>739000432For me it's Garlean pussy.To the victor go the spoils.
>>739000445Yes and thanks to the time travel the writers fucked up her motivations for the sundering.
>>739000486She had no stated motives for the sundering before the time travel that weren't "stop Zodiark" which were still fulfilled anyways
>>739000486Not really.Venat's problem with the Ancients was their inability to look forward. That didn't change with the Meteion reveal.
>>738999998Zenos was wrong because I hate the forced combat parts of the game.
fire hiroi daichi
>>739000654As has been mentioned since Endwalker was actually current, everybody that thinks the "WALK, NIGGA" cutscene wasn't supposed to be proving Venat would have done it with or without the time loop deserves to be stuck claiming time-travel made her do it for the rest of their lives, as a time loop of their own making
>>739000314He was a rabid animal, shaped by the circumstances of his birth and his royal title. He realized he couldn't care less about the Garlean Empire conquering the world,that bored him. Instead, he lived solely for the thrill of seeking a worthy opponent who could match his strength, and that opponent was the Warrior of Light. He knew the only way to get their attention was to put the entire world and eventually, the universe in danger. In his eyes, the Warrior of Light uses the moniker of "hero" merely as an excuse to seek more adventure and battle. He is a dark mirror, driven by their one shared goal, the pure thrill of combat.>>739000665Then why the fuck do you even play this game at that point you're better watching the story from a yt video.
Water Hiroi Daichi
>>739000762Zenos is to the WoL what Fray is, he's some impossibly tiny part of his psyche blown up into a full person and a resulting clownish extreme"He is also a combat nerd" and the WoL is so much more than that, but for Zenos that's ALL he is, and the only time his horizons start to actually expand, he's warping over to Ultima Thule to chase down the Endsinger and five minutes from death
>>739000762media literacy ZERO
remember that the people who don't understand that this is a device to emphasize halmarut's accusation of our desire to save everyone being just as selfish and short sighted as zenos' desire to fight us and believe instead that zenos is somehow still alive are the ones telling you that raids are not hard enough, gear is too easy to get, etcstory boosts were a mistake, because idiots who can't understand the very basic writing should not be allowed to infest party finder as they'll put in the same amount of effort to improving their gameplay
>>738999050Didn't the G'raha short story establish that FFXIV operates by DBZ rules of time travel anyway, where existing timelines remain in existence even if one goes back in the past to change the future of another? They made it a point to establish that the future where the 8th umbral calamity happened remained even after G'raha went back in time to change the future.
>>739000213If he was, idk if "le based crusaders" would hate him for being a woman who defeated their WoL for no good reason, or lust after him for being a large blonde woman
>stupid contrived fake echo>tranny face>can turn into a dragon>ate a big crystal because kriles uselesswhat a faggot character >>739000886ZENOS IS COMIING BACK FELLOW GARLESISTERS. OUR FRIEND!
Do you mod your game?
>>739000708>you have no hope of defeating meteion (because I won't tell you anything about her)>killing people for zodiark is bad (killing everyone is better)Venat is sexy but the writing still sucks, sorry
>>739000962All garlean npcs wear clown make up.
>>739000708Venat did originally do it, and she did it because their cycle of sacrifice that was starting to turn to harvesting innocents to bring back everyone's buds.Us going back just meant we could investigate Meteion and get a GPS tracker put on her, and that this time, Venat went into it with full foreknowledge of what she was about to, and had to do in order for there to be a future.If anything, being told what she did just gave her more time to think about and agonize over it, hence why she starts out trying to reason with them in the cutscene. Naturally, the cutscene isn't a literal retelling of the entire event, but still.
>>739000861My dude, you are just spewing buzzwords and such without giving a counter argument, but what I said is literally what Zenos ends up to be in the whole story of the game. Zenos is dead since and that's it.>>739000837WoL ultimately seeks adventure while playing the role of the hero, making sure that everything has a good ending by the end. But at this time we don't know if this whole adventure has been worth it or not. Considering the whole Azem stuff in play.
