dreadwalk is great, and i'm tired of pretending otherwise
>>739065629>Hoary will be revealed to be a distant relative to Rhitahtyn>he will be part of the EC scion main lineup>he will be the new tank job poster childSome people thinks "Rhitahtyn tshirt? double shields job confirmed". It's never that easy or direct. It's either Shield+Hammer or Shield+Flail
>>739066504he will be a mystic knight which is the new tank
>>739066646>mystic knightthat'd be shield+hammer, rightMYS? MTC? MYK?
>>739065629
Using the free login campaign to wrap up the DT most MSQ quests.This shit gay I might just ask grok to write me a synopsis.
>>739066504New tank will be Calyx.
>>739066504The shirts generally are more clever than in your face obvious. It's why while it makes sense for a shield to me (MT has a shield, all OTs don't, presumably new MT will have one too) but double shield feels too obvious.I can buy "Guess whose back again - Eminem - Marshall" or>Rhitahtyn is a name from the Roegadyn language combined from the words rhit meaning "right" and ahtyn meaning "judge". His surname of Arvina is Latin for "fat", and is a popular choice of surname for Roegadyns with Garlean citizenship, and is shared with Grynewaht pyr Arvina, who has no relation to Rhitahtyn.He also has bull horn helmets. Given the "haha warriors are cuck off tanks now" memery now honestly it'd be a nightmare of memery if they leaned into the bull horn motifs. Trick weapons are also possible, some kind of gun-hammer. >>739067627I'm told 7.4 onwards is when it's worth watching. I Just finished 7.3 and while the last 2 trial bosses were delightfully fucking hard, I am so jaded on the plot I did not give two shits i Just wanted it over.
>>739068565>The shirts generally are more clever than in your face obviouspicto and viper beg to differi'm just happy we'll get anothing shield tankconcerning the dps job, i have literally no clue
>>739069069I forget picto, viper was a ninja turtle right? Or wait, wasn't the ninja turtle picto? Since it was a ninja turtle named after a renaissance painter/artist.
>>739069196viper wasninja turtle>in spanish: tortuga>pirate island called tortuga>pirate>???>viperand yes, it was also for picto, but still. not much as clever but convoluted and in the end misleading
>>739068565Never felt this disconnected.I'm so tired of this paper thin setting with its gobbledygook names everywhere.
Where can I read up on the new babby mode controls? Are all the job changes for those revealed yet?I hope that shit is somewhat less bloated there's so many skills that are absolutely not interesting and/or split for single target/aoe. Like I really think Upheaval and Orogeny should be separate buttons.Braindead followup binds to cooldowns like Primal Rend also feel extremely lame. Like wow I can press an extra button once a minute thats amazing.
>>739069196Picto was the turtles, because they are named after painters.
>>739070213shouldnt be separate buttons*
>>739065629Why is her neck so long?
>>739069945I have a personal experience with that kind of gobbledygook excessive localization/indigenousization of the names. Total war player and modder, grew up with Europa Barbaroum and so on. It's easy to get lost in the sauce as the devs did and think that gibberish is cool for its immersion without considering the practical consequences:>Where are your questing right now buddy?>"I'm at um...sheshyw...sheshwjen....fck it, let me google it/mark it on the map/God fucking knows">You can find such and such mob at klelfjlflefwfwjfiwfw>"Well where the fuck is that?"You can use localized words, but you need to make sure they are legible for people not familiar with the language. Japanese gets more leeway because we're all so immersed in it that you've likely come across say, the Shinsekugeuimi before in another anime. I'd like to see if the Japanese had the same gibberish names or if it was dangerhair's doing. Worst is as you said, paper thin. The rich complexity we had with Greek-esque Amaurot/Elpis and frankly the same paper thinness for Thavnair. Thankfully we seem poised to return to the beautiful autism of the past and not white woman tourism to the brown world. I say as someone who doesn't even like Vikings and would have liked some Vedic soaked Thavnair far more than curry-fetishism. Christ, now I'm glad we didn't have any bollywood shit.
>>739070627Yeah, Thavnair wasn't even that bad with names. Palaka's Stand was way easier to remember than shit like Shooshoyeetbeazu Springs.What cracks me up about Shaaloani (i only remembered this because I named my Animal Crossing island "Noelani") is that it's a wild west area, using Native American gobbleygook for the town names.Localization (Kate) and "sensitivity" contracters clearly hated American settlers cause of "muh colonialism", while the JP devs just wanted to make a Wild West area.
>>739070627When DT started and the cutscene on the boat played where all the already established races we knew were introduced with their very special indigenuous names I could only roll my eyes.I think you can do that with SOME things as people can absolutely absorb some foreign or made up words. But you cannot do that for everything. FF13 only confused people by puking out lore specific terminology that sounds alike without even explaining what it is.With Thavnair we were mostly spared because most of the expansion didnt actually play out there. The story moved on from it pretty fast and the post MSQ questline didnt really bother with it either.Japanese devs do absolutely love to jump the shark and start abusing the franchises they work on to justify spending company resources for vacation trips for "research". The result is super weak tourist shit.Happened to Pokemon, happened to Monster Hunter. Absolutely happened to FF14.Like goddamn at least pick up some Tintin comic book before force the cast to eat baguettes/tacos/whatever else was served at the last all inclusive hotel they visited.I'm sick of it.
>>739066504What kind of hammer or flail? Are these jobs from another game?
>>739071431before we proceed with this expansion, I'd like to start this off with a land acknowledgement
>>739067627Wuk is just a joy suckerI say this because 7.5 has zero wuk and it feels like you're sucked back 3 years and missed nothing
>>739071787there's no jobs left that are associated with such weapons or shields.
>>739071431Wasted potential too with the clear narrative of technological progress vs tradition, yet they jettisoned that most likely due to diversity consultancy because it'd emphasis negative stereotypes of native tribes oops allied societies being primitive.>>739071458>FF13 only confused people by puking out lore specific terminology that sounds alike without even explaining what it is.It's a navel gazing indulgence and one of the drug addictions that come with worldbuilding. Though we'll have to see if we are out of the woods as people are finding FF13 reflections in some of endcold's stuff.>>739071787Think they said that the job would be OG to FF14, not just derivative from a prior FF.
>>739070627I'm playing with jap voices on right now and they do have the native american names in japanese too.These days localizers/consultants are probably sitting at the writing table with the japanese.
>>739072962Koji said that was the case with 14 like a decade ago. Its why Kate was able to do so much damage.
>>739072962>>739073487SE worked directly with Sweet Baby Inc on DawntrailYou chuds were fighting Kate this whole time while your enemy is still sitting there laughing with a gun to Yoshi-P's head.
>the msq has 992 quests at this pointthey REALLY need to start considering how to onboard new players in an alternative way at this point, and no "just buy a story skip xddd" wont cut it.
>>739073663>The person destroying the game from within isn't a problem chud. Its the outside consulting company that's really to blame.
>>739073748Someone said it'd take 50 hours to get through the MSQ and I hope to god it's not that bad because nobody will join if that's the case. We're already at new player numbers equivalent to 1.0.
>>739073885>Someone said it'd take 50 hours to get through the MSQYou're missing a 0 sis.
>>739065629no, I live in a white country
>>739072105wuk sucks ass but you really need to trudge through 7.1-7.4 because of calyx
>>739073748You could probably consolidate half of the quests and not lose any story at all. >>739073885It will probably take you 50 hours to get through just ARR. Each expansion takes about 40 hours.
>>739073748>how to onboard new players in an alternative way at this pointwhy? everyone knows this is a story game and the raid autists are already satisfied with WoW. cutting the truly filler stuff like tataru becoming an arcanist is good but letting new players just skip right to the endgame is a bad idea, especially when all the old content is still perfectly playable.
honestly I dont see why changes like that couldnt also be applied to the old playstyles.this is an absolute no brainer that shouldve been in the game for years.
>>739072139>>739072410So the hammer part is just fanfiction then. Because they only showed the shirt he was wearing.
>>739065695Internet janitors may not get paid, but they at least gain some measure of power which they don't have in their real lives. For all the time you waste on monitoring /v/ and roleplaying as one, you get absolutely nothing and are somehow even more pathetic lmao
>>739074327because normal people are daunted by 500 hours of story, especially when they're paying a sub fee for a story that really isn't that good most of the time
>>739074327because believe it or or not, some people want to play mmos with people and this is getting in the way and its getting to the point where its strangling everybody who isnt all into the story.forcing such a long linear questline is bad no matter how you slice it. if they split up the content in some way that the MSQ is still rewarding but not 100% mandatory for anything would go a long way already.the way its piling on right now is straight up suicidal. dawntrail being the way it is underlined that and this is now a key part of the MSQ every new player will have to go through.
>>73907388550 hours might be doable with help and perfect cutscene skipping
>>739075034The speedrun for ARR is like 17.5 hours. No way you can get to 7.5 in 50.
>>739075234i'm talking like getting a level boost, a dedicated taxi, twinked gear
alright guys I figured it outGuess Who's Back=GWBRhitatyn is holding gunshieldswhat do guns do? they explodewhat else has shields and also explodes?that's right, a gunlancewhat's gunlance's most unique and iconic mechanic? wyvernblastergo GWB=gunlance wyvern blastbut wait, he's holding TWO weaponsyou know what else is a gun with a shield? that's right, a bowgunwhat's GWB backwards? BWG=bowgunner, which is also why yoshidder made a funny face when someone yelled "crossbow"verification NOT fucking required
>>739065629what the fuck is a jollibee
just think. somewhere out there, we will find the one. the one who asked.
>>739065629Yeah the chicken was really good but they had this peach mango pie that was FIRE
>>739074336my concern with the contextual abilities is the response time of the game. If it's not instant it will feel like shit and so much of this game is already sluggish if you don't live on the west coast/japan.
8.0 will solidify GNB being blue DPS and I won't have to worry about shit except for ripping & tearing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZMg9ryeWOwGlad these threads are back so I have place to discuss the game instead of read failed men pretend like they're back in highschool.
>>739074336There is one very important case. Sometimes, especially when doing solo content, I like to use heals while targeting an enemy. This causes the heal to target yourself instead.
>>739078137guess the play for that is untargetting the enemy. kinda jank.
evolved casters are gonna be so boring
>>739079643>castersthey wont have any cast times lmao
>>739079643PCT is fun and it's basically an evolved job already
>>739079365That's why I think they'll have some options to unbundle them.
why does lightspeed reduce your cast time by 2.5 seconds when all of AST's spells are only 1.5 seconds? I guess revive is 8 seconds but everyone just swiftcasts their revive.
>>739066504>implying he and the rest of the b-team scions won't get monebryda'd
>>739080015they already can't be moenbryda'd since hoary has been on scene for more than 2 patches
back to your general trannies
>>739073748What >>739074327 said. The last thing XIV needs is to go even harder on "only endgame matters, raid raid raid". Actually playing the MSQ, maybe even clearing content for each expansion before starting the next is the best way to experience the game. Raid faggots really need to be reigned in, we can't allow this to become a WoW situation where the story basically doesn't matter, the new player experience is a disjunctioned mess and everyone, including the devs, just wants more savage raid shit.
>>7390743361,2,3 combo should be one button
>>739073885>50 hours to get through the MSQprobably more like 200 unless you skip every cutscene
>>739079950If macros stay the same you can just do/ac "Divine Justice" <me>It does get weird if you want to use it on other players since a mouseover <mo> macros is awfully sluggish.
>>739079951So that you can swiftcast your revive when your swiftcast is on cooldown?
>>739073748The game is entirely plot based, you can't skip any of the connective tissue and still have the intended experience. At best, they could trim the quests for expansions like they did for 2.X quests, but that's manpower better spent making new content.
>>739079643Yeah I have no idea what they're gonna do with BLM, and I know they said they're getting rid of most buffs but those fuckers better not take away my leylines.
>>739075234>No way you can get to 7.5 in 50.If you bot the MSQ, you can get through it in like a week. That's maybe 8-12 hours per day of unattended botting, and the bot is not perfect and you still need to play some of it and you still need to wait for queues for some of the duties. I don't know how many hours that is, but it's definitely under 100.
>>739080273I wonder if the mouse over lag is deliberate. there's addons that do it just fine lagless.
>>739070627fuck youmystophoroi toxotai kretikoi
Is it safe to delete these completed Manderville relics?
>>739080151if you just repeat the nonsense the other moron said why bother>>739080406if they gave a shit about the intended experience whatsoever they wouldnt sell story skips.because thats the reality of it. instead of mitigating it in any real regard they just charge for the ugliest solution possible, where players are dumped in the middle of nowhere with zero context and no leading hand.
>>739080861Yes.
>>739080861Yeah. Even if they are eventually added to the armoire, its only 6k poetics per to make new ones.
>>739080780See Greek and latin are fine because they are so common and pervasive you eventually recognize it. Vaguely. I know that's Cretan archers, so mercenary is mystophoroi.Now try the fucking Phoenician shit. I like Carthage but jesus christ mary and joseph. I swear in either DEI or in Eb2 they remove the vowels and it's agony.
>>739081345something something poenim libimyeah I know what you mean I'm just surprised to see a fellow EB patrician in this cesspit of cesspits>GAEROAS>guy-rowsyou can't make this shit up
>>739080151>Actually playing the MSQ, maybe even clearing content for each expansion before starting the next is the best way to experience the game.Yup. The WoW mentality of >"get to endgame ASAP so that you can raidlog and complain about the game because you're only waiting for new stuff to come out without doing any of the previous stuff"is cancer. I did the HW free trial, did everything, did PotD, got all jobs to 60, etc. I did EVERYTHING before buying the real game. And then in Stormblood I did everything too. I took my time getting to endgame, and I had a lot more fun for it. Now that I've been playing the game for years and I'm ACTUALLY at endgame waiting for new content to come out, it's the most boring the game has ever been for me. I genuinely think that's what happened, by the way. Yeah, Dawntrail MSQ is trash, but I think what actually happened is that all the Shadowbringers players, like me, including the Asmongold WoW players (not me) finally all got to actual endgame, waiting months in between content releases, and I think that's mostly what caused the opinion of the overall playerbase to sour. Yeah, Dawntrail and Wuk Lamat did not help, but I think a lesser degree of this would have happened anyway since now the huge influx of players are now all at the real endgame of waiting for new shit to release because you already did everything else.
>>739065629I promised to buy you one and im still planning on doing it.
>>739080406>you can't skip any of the connective tissue and still have the intended experienceare we playing the same game? you can easily skip like 90% and barely miss anything, all the plot happens in the first 5 and last 10 minutes of a zonethe rest is just meaningless padding where the Scions of the Seventh Yap all stand around and regurgitate the plot so far
>>739081668>And then in Stormblood I did everything tooWasn't helping Krile grand.
>>739081152If they add something to the armoire, it might be the replicas
>>739082193Krile is for_______
>>739079951>why does lightspeed reduce your cast time by 2.5 seconds when all of AST's spells are only 1.5 seconds? I guess revive is 8 secondsLooks like you understand.
>>739065629I want to do Minfilia doggy style, if you catch my Tokyo drift
>>739082386sidelining
>>739082386Benching.
>>739066441My only complaint is the teacup boss, and thats because I'm too smolbrained to track multiple cups like that. I hate that fucking boss.
>>739079951Because their spells weren't always that fast and they just never changed Lightspeed after shortening them.
>>739082386Punting
>>739073885Bro it took me like 37 hours just to complete ARR.This was playing casually mind you but still, I literally own Endwalker and I'm barely started Shadowbringers but I dropped playing
>>739082776Based.
>>739082386Lamatyi glazing
>>739081668>but I think a lesser degree of this would have happened anywaythis is cope.
>>739082942Unironically. Have a look at Krile's most said word.
>>739083439Nah, I explained my logical and rational reasoning. All of the massive wave of newfags are at the real endgame now. They aren't in the endless sea of content anymore.
>>739084370interesting how that wasnt a problem for the original playerbase until DT.
>>739084532>interesting how that wasnt a problem for the original playerbaseThat's wrong. The "original" playerbase is always talking about job homogenization and TP and aggro management and Cleric stance and allocating stat points and cross class skills and SCH dots and HW DRK and whatever else.
>>739085101
>>739084532the fuck are you talking about? all anybody did back in the day was raidlog and maaaybe craft because there was shit else to do
>>739065629I did.The blue raspberry drink was fine but I do not care for drinks with jelly pearls in them.The fried chicken piece was good. Better than KFC, worse than home made, but it was good. The spicy chicken sandwich was, you know, a chicken sandwich. It was same quality as the fried chicken, since, you know, it's the same shit.The fries were fries. They weren't the best fries in the world, but they were good enough fries.The above of all three were improved by them giving a pretty good gravy with the whole thing.The peach mango pie wasn't for me. It felt a bit too sweet, and it's emphatically a PEACH mango pie. The peach is the main draw, which is disappointing because I don't care for peaches and also just in general it means that most of the flavor was a cheaper and more common fruit.The emote was fun for a bit. Did get a nice shot of my character dressed up as Scout from TF2 with the bucket of chicken. Got a laugh out of my friends.Honestly? If it wasn't for the fact that driving to Jolibee was a 20 minute drive both ways I'd probably have gotten it again for a larger lunch or dinner and gifted/sold the emote code.
>>739076159https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JollibeeTheir fried chicken's alright.
>>739085334>>739085658>>739079921Remakes are a symptom of latest iterations of the series being dogshit. XIII was hidden kino and essentially as linear as X, but their characters has complexity and flaws, and weren't instantly likeable. Type-0 was fun, but easily forgettable after they didn't make a fucking sequel for Ace (that everyone wanted) and it was really fucking sad. XV got transformed into an entirely different, shittier, game and released so unfinished they had 5 DLCs to fix it, and everyone was pissed by then. Lastly, FFXVI was FFXIV graphics update - mostly cinematic QTEs, all flash no substance combat, no party, filler quests, and wasted potential for not choosing to go either traditional FF or GoT political intrigue. So yeah everybody wants beloved stories back.
>>739065629No. I don't have a Jollibee near me. Would be nice though.
>>739086080>XIII was hidden kino
>>739081481Yeah that too. When a word matches up with an english one and is silly. Like the sauromatae FAT Aexsdzhytae.And EB is pretty much what inspired my whole modding of total war games. Working on one for Pharaoh now but I got sidetracked doing some stuff for friends in Arma. I can't wait to get my hands on M3 to have fun tinkering shit for the Moops and Fatty-midis.>>739082776That's terrifying. I assume even with some selective cutscene skipping. Honestly that's why I was so malding at DT - the game is inherently a visual novel and so if the story is bad and you can't fall back on the crutch of waifu VN then you are in for a bad time.
>>739065629The chicken actually is pretty damn good. So much better than KFC for sure. Not sure if it is better than Popeyes though.
>>739084946>the original playbase was always talking about [entirely different thing]
>>739087567Uhh... no? You must be having your own conversation with yourself.
>>739065629No, I do not particularly care for the emoteNot to mention, there isn't one anywhere near me
>>739073748quest count is meaningless when you consider 3.0 is like 20 hours long and has practically the same amount of quests as 6.0 or 7.0
why is praetorium still unvoiced after all these years despite being mandatory, unskippable, and having lore?
>>739090616?
>>739090616US based EN VAs during HW asked for more money and Square said no, so they moved on to EU VAsI suppose having Roose Bolton and the other guy voicing the same character (Gaius) in the same thing would be confusing. SE doesn't like to replace voice lines, probably due costs.But I'm just guessing
>>739065629I was obliged to because some of my friends and I have a running joke about chicken wings. Being able to eat a bucket of fried chicken in front of them was worth the hour long drive to my nearest Jollibee's.
>>739090951Thank god for their greediness as we got fantastic VAs up until DT.
>>739065629I did>chickenit's okay>chicken sandwichits fine>mashed potato+gravyreally good, probably best in the buisness for fast food. >blueberry dranktoo sweet and strong>pineapple drankstill a lil sweet but not bad>mango peach piegreat.

Absolutely delish, unique, and great textureif you go to jolibee go for the burgers. the burgers I think are super underrated.
>>739092024they thought "it's been 10 years, surely, SURELY, the US voice acting industry has improved, right?"
>>739092602>"painfully "bri'ish" scions. >hook up her friends in california voice industry>get nothing>everyone hates itLOL
>>739092602God I hate this bitchAmreican VAs were a mistake, thank God they're gone
The problem with XIV is that at best, the story is 7/10, but 90% of players only read one piss so they think at worst the story is 9/10.
>>739093179>>739093092what did you expect from a theater kid?
>>739093393>started in london>hates the british scionsim noticing!
>>739065629I don't need an excuse to enjoy Jollibee, anon, but yes, I did
>>739093257No time for TRVKES, we're still riding fanfest hype train.
>>739065629Not a fried chicken kind of guy. Forced it down over the course of 2 days and 3 separate meals.
>>739093257I only read good manga like Boku Girl.
>>739093257>read one pissI only read kino
>>739090951The other guy that voiced Gaius was Richard Epcar, the VA for Batou in Ghost in the Shell. Gaius's ARR voice being bad had nothing to do with the quality of actor.
We might genuinely be back bros
>>739093393Is there a name for this kind of person that always looks like a deranged psycho in every picture?
>>739093740the absolute state of hiroi daichi and kate cringewar
>>739093756Evil
>>739093756SJW
>>739093740Worth noting that the DT teaser was natural viewership coming off EW hype and everyone excited for DA BEACH EXPANSION, while EC was clearly botted.
>>739093740Being a much better trailer than DT certainly helps. I already listened to it a bunch just for the theme.
i got through the msq and the ff11 alliance raid quests on the 4 day return program. is it worth doing anything else before i fuck off until right before evercold releases?
>>739093896Not really, no. Doom Train and Enuo are pretty fun as EX but you probably won't have enough time to grind out all the wings.
>>739093756MarxistCommunistSJW
>>739093740why is it so long?
What is the most fun Melee DPS /v/
>>739073748Isn't the story the entire point of this game? If i want endgame and other stuff it's better to just play something else
>>739094070MNK > SAM > NIN > VPR > DRG > RPR
>>739093871Of course, anon, DT wasn't botted at all, and there isn't a lot of people burned by DT and anxious to move on that would be interested in EC despite being inactive.It's going to be fine. I think Evercold is going to be a slight rebound from DT. It won't be like early Endwalker, let alone Shadowbringers, but things will be okay.
>>739065629I'm European, so no.
>>739093957thanks. my gear is fucking ass so i probably won't try to do any ex fights. i stopped playing when occult crescent was new so my gear was mostly 745/750 and my ilvl now is around 759. i saw the windurst gear is 480 so yeah.
>>739094070>>739094146Don't listen to this raidtranny. Play NIN or SAM.
>>739094146>VPR>above DRG and RPRgay fag behavior

god damn i hate DRK shitters so much>LOOK AT MY GLAM>LOOK AT MY POWER>VVVGH PVRE EDGE FOLDED OVER 20K TIMES>doesn't hit any mitigation button>dies
>>739094231> saw the windurst gear is 480 so yeah.oops, 780*.
>>739094070i would've said NIN but idk how hard it's been raped since endwalker
>>739073748MMOs being focused solely on endgame was a mistake. MMOs are at their best when they embrace the leveling process and the journey, and if FFXIV specifically cut out the long journey to try to speedrun people to raidlogging endgame it would be worse for it. There's literally nothing wrong with having a massive amount of content to get through, and the only people that mind are soulless husks whose opinions aren't worth considering. They're the type of weirdos that buy story and level skips (paying extra money so they can play the game less).
>>739066441I think everyone likes it, other than the fact that the first boss is kinda janky with the adds.>>739082546What I do is just look at their starting position. They will always end up in the same spot relative to each other.Two will spawn next to each other, or opposite to each other - look at how they spawn, then decide on one of the two to follow around to its destination.If two cups start opposite each other East and West, and one of them finishes in the North, then the other one will be South.And so on.
>>739094207I'm sorry to hear that, anon. Maybe someday they can hold a collab with Oliver's Twombly Snackeroonis and you can get a fitting emote (getting acid attacked by an Ala Mhigger)
>>739094267>doesn't hit any mitigation buttoni do this but as a paladin more than i would like to admit, and is embarrassing, that’s why i only play tank on trials and raids now
>>739094070Ninja. Monk was up there too but Dawntrail streamlined it a bit too much for my tastes.
>>739094260RPR is just worse designed VPR and DRG has been the most basic bitch and retarded job since ShB
>>739094092No, "story is the whole point" is bullshit peddled by people who started playing in 2021 so they could sound hip and totally not secondaries. Previously the MSQ could swing in any way but the quality of the story did not dictate how people felt about an expansion alone. ARR? Mediocre story, but people liked the game. HW? A good step up from ARR and has plenty of moments the secondaries insist tore their hearts to shreds, but a lot of stuff in the expansion was not well received. SB? Another pretty mediocre MSQ, but it was the first time since ARR release that player numbers rose and stayed up.Only during SHB onward did perceived MSQ quality dictate player interest, because the secondaries huff their own farts. It's an MMO, there's always more to it than the MSQ. Is the MSQ important? Yeah kinda, but not to the point it needs to be experienced totally if you're that desperate to catch up. A highlight reel of important info would do just as much as playing from start to finish.
rpr is a flop class carried by its lb3 and a grandma.
>>739073748Why?1. You have a seemingly ever-expanding trial that is two to three expansions off from the paid version depending on when you start (right now, it's two: Endwalker and Dawntrail). That's most of the story for absolutely free with no limits.2. XIV is not and should not ever become an endgame game. If you "need to finish the MSQ asap" because it's a hurdle in between you and your precious endgame, you're doing it wrong. There's 10+ years of content from ARR to DT. Stop trying to rush to the end so you can do just the one raid tier and criterion and soon ultimate and realize that there's a bunch of stuff for you to play in the game that doesn't require being caught up.
>>739073748the problem is selling the game as a MMO, until you reach endgame the game is a JRPG with SOME mmo elements, for example it took me 170h to beat ARR doing everything I can from raids to all dungeons etc, and honestly I enjoy it, I started to ho heavensward and I’m planning on doing the same, trying to rush people to the end game misses the whole appeal of ff14
>>739070213They've only shown WHM, BRD, DRG and PLD, if you wanna see it it was in the fanfest keynote that they revealed the idea and then another later part of the stream outside the keynote itself shows the details on those 4Even then they only sort of showed them, it's still all subject to change anyway
>>739073748shut up you troon secondary
>>739094335rpr is clunky but it plays better than shit ass vpr does. i feel braindamaged running that garbage class. i never said it was good.

>>739094401Also just want to add that XIV endgame is not interesting enough to pay more money for a skip or encourage a free skip program of sorts and never has been. Just that the MSQ is also very repetitive and the good moments wouldn't even fill half of a launch expansion if piled together.

>>739094401>Previously the MSQ could swing in any way but the quality of the story did not dictate how people felt about an expansion aloneShut the hell up, LARPer.Stormblood was hated for years just because the base (not even the patch) MSQ was disliked, despite there being oodles of great content and way better job design than in ShB.ShB got and gets fellated despite nearly half a year of Shiva, far less content and jobs going down the shitter.So just shut the fuck up already with this pathetic attempt at revisionism.
>>739094646no wonder he took personal offence when people shat on wukkie
why was this dude built up to be this unstoppable force alongside a 20 minute fight if he was going to job at the end like that
>>739094790i'm inclined to agree with him that MSQ being an all-or-nothing affair is largely a post asmongold thing
>>739094837They tried to do Zenos again.
>>739094790But you said exactly what I said in my post? Did you...did you not read what you were replying to???
>>739094845Stormblood, infamously released in 2019 and experienced by most people in 2020 and 2021.
>>739094401XIV is the story MMO. Be upset about it all you want, but those are the facts.People don't s o yface about the +100 to dick resistance gear they got. They s o y face about Emet-Selch doing a wry smile at the camera. It's a Final Fantasy MMO. Go to WoW if you want to pretend that the story is just window dressing for a dungeon simulator.
Why is Ranged Phy memed on so hard by hardcore raidtrannys?
>>739094790The numbers don't lie, HW was loved for MSQ but player count was stagnant and barely budged from ARR. SB was hated for the MSQ but numbers increased across the board.
>>739094790Stormblood wasn't hated until WoW tourists started wailing about UGGGGHHHH YOU JUST HAVE TO GET THROUGH IT FOR EMET BRO. You're so full of shit.
>>739094837The whole point was that the first time his techniques caught you off guard. Second time you fight him you can already see the AOEs for his moves so you adapted already.
>>739095087>Stormblood wasn't hated until WoW touristslollmaothose dastardly, time traveling wow tourists
>>739095087Careful the guy is gonna post the same cherry picked posts from here where /v/ hates anything XIV did.
>>739073663it wasn't sweet baby, but they did hire some gay (((consulting))) company for dawntrail, but i forgot the namelike discovery something, or something along those lines
>>739095151my man you just committed murder
Since this thread is full of truth nukes already: FFXIV is an incomplete MMO because it has no long term grinds for player power for people to strive towards/want to log in for. Yes you shouldn't make this game "skip to the endgame as fast as you can for raiding", but once people get caught up to the MSQ the journey ends and people unsub.
>>739095017Because they have too much mobility (despite nu-casters having basically unlimited movement too), their rotations being too easy (despite melees having every single strat in the game directly catered to them and years of fights designed to give them 100% uptime) and having easier roles in fights (despite tanks having fuck all to do in every recent fight but pop their invul since bosses auto center in every fight)tldr; they're retarded faggots wanting some fake street cred over being superior to another role
>>739095151I like how the posts are days apart, so you did a search for negative key terms and snapshotted that.
So we got WoW tourists wanting XIV to turn into endgame simulator with an integrated and encouraged free story skip pretending to be oldfags fighting WoW tourists because WoW tourists, who infamously skip any semblance of story in their own game so they can farm endgame, are the only ones who actually care about the story.
>>739095263that and whether anybody hated the MSQ isn't really trying to even tackle the argument that nobody was really maligning the expansion as a whole for its MSQ
>>739094983You're going to have coniptions when DT revisionism starts due to the obscene amount of QoL the game finally received btw.>>739095017Because it's currently a joke role of 3 boring jobs that nobody finds fun but is necessary due to 1% stat increase a rounded party gets and basically has been since EW, arguably SHB.
>>739095151>all posts exclusively about the MSQI wonder if you're smart enough to realize you're proving anon right.
>>739095017I don't play DPS but a lot of people think it's boring, all 3 of the jobs suck in one way or another, and also it's role is only mandated because bringing Phys Ranged gives you 1% additional stats, if it didn't you would almost certainly bring another caster or melee
>start heavesward>enter the sea cloud>really cool area>look at the town>basically 0 barricades on the island borders>people live without any sort of protection from falling from the skyelf things i guess
>>739095263I like how you have no evidence to the contrary but you're being condescending about it to try and distract from that.
>retarded faggots are already trying to do history revisionism about Stormblood
>>739095356>ice themed expansion where you go to people who are living in the skyThat is now true for 2 different xiv expansions which is very weird
>>739095394Everyone loved it until those evil WoW tourists tried to spread the lie that it was hated because they wanted to make it seem like the story was the only thing that mattered.
>>739095439At least it's only true for one zone, I guess. And it's mainly retarded bird people.I guess you could count Churning Mists and Azys Lla but Churning Mists is just a broken off mountain top with dragons and moogles and Azys Lla is Allagan fuckery.
>>739080967I wish they would make you do every dungeon in order if you story skip because all these level 90 and 100 faggots that don't even know how to play are so aids this has always been the case with story skippers some faggot skips the story then chooses tank or healer and queues for lv 96 dungeon without even knowing how to turn on tank stance like why do we have to pay money to deal with these faggots
>>739095356>sea of clouds>elf things i guessThey're giant bird indians, what do they have to do with elfs
>>739095459fucking wow tourist also followed me home and killed my dogfucking wow niggers desecrating the memory of my beloved Stormblood, long regarded as pure unadulterated kino until they came in and brainwashed everyone into thinking Stormblood sucked
stormblood is still dogshit. dawntrail is dogshitall garlenigger and mhigger and gook doman slop is boring.
>>739095151Stormblood was not widely hated by a majority of players, it was contentious at worstDawntrail was widely hated by a majority of players
>>739095394I don't need to revise SB, because it's already the greatest XIV expansion ever made (to date). If you were not playing XIV in SB you objectively missed out on the peak of the game. Poof. Gone. You were simply not there. FOMO'd. Big bummer, I know, but it's objectively true, and nothing you say will ever make than untrue.
asmongold just flew over my house
>>739095540they also used time machines to plant negative posts about stormblood scrutinizing its story in a fair amount of detail
>>739095556^ This, the lalapedotranny is right.
>>739094401No no, you misunderstand. The story is the whole point, because even for all its flaws, aside from the music and memberberries it's the ONLY thing this game has going for it. Case in point, the story of 7.0 was fucking horrible, and everyone unsubbed because there was no reason to stick around. Better luck next expansion.
>>739095361>>739095394Post any archived thread from launch week. You'll see most posts are purely about gameplay with some complaining about Lyse. Notice how you can only post complaints about the MSQ?
>>739095534have not meet them yet, just enter the area
If story wasn't the most important thing in XIV, then ShB wouldn't be jerked off as hard as it is.It was a meh expansion otherwise.
>>739066504I doubt that. Maybe he can be a side character but roe aren't popular enough to be main scions.
>>739074357Hammer was mentioned as a possible weapon for one of the jobs out of four options during the QnA.
>>739095017the only fun ranged dps job is mch but the damage is fucking shit and people don't want you to run it because you don't increase their parse like a brd or dnc does.
>>739095613This is only true post wow exodus. Otherwise ARR would've died immediately, HW would not have shown minimal growth, or SB would not have saved ARR and HWs dismal player counts.
>Everyone from Vana'diel is actually just a fucking hologram created by some gay lizard>except for Shantotto, who is actually a dool created and controlled by the actual, real ShantottoIs she the most powerful being in the Final Fantasy universe?
>>739092602I feel like you can find decent ones but they have to be actors. Actual real life actors. Warhammer 3 had Zack or Cody or some shit being Batman elf and he's perfectly fine. The problem is some kind of uniquely conceited arrogance and inability to perform properly that a pure voice actor has.>>739093393Theatre Kid is such a beautiful slur because even theatre kids will use it. They know how bad they can be. When I discussed it with a friend I looked up the professional history of the British VAs and a near if not universal trend is that they attended the equivalent of a vocational school for acting.

>stormbabbies>garlenigger larpers>stale meme spammerswhat a shitty expansion.
I swear, the XIV community is magical. It's the only community that will tell itself that the crowd of new players from a game where story is always ignored and had to be told to give the story a chance and not rush to endgame ignoring it, because the game has a very long and good story, were actually an invasive force of gatekeepers enforcing an unprecedented and tyrannical form of story supremacy.
>>739065629Yes, I thought the boba drink sucked but the rest was pretty good.
>>739095685>It was a meh expansion otherwise.In comparison to what? Other games? Every FFXIV expansion is a meh expansion.
>>739095780I once heard that zettaflare was coined by shantotto.
>>739095742I'm a MCH main and I have never once heard anything from anyone about using it.
>>739095849>In comparison to what? Other games? Every FFXIV expansion is a meh expansion.Stormblood and the baseline expectation.
>back after a few years of inactivity, decide to relearn how the fuck AST plays with alliance roulette >it's orbonne with a dozen sproutscid takes all the glory but ultima can be kinda hard as well, the phase transition where she throws out like 4 mechanics in a row usually wipes like half the raid and you have to get them back up for the dps check coming up. I wish ARs went back to not being afraid to kill shitters because you've got 6 healers + magic dps to rez.

>>739095894Stormblood is shit, bucko
Why do wowfugees seethe so much at missing the golden age of ARR-SB?
>>739095935Better than ShB.
>>739095994
>>739095985rent free
>>739096035Yuh-uh.
>>739095685ShB was good and its biggest flaws were only felt with time. It had good content (Bozja and Ishgard Restoration were fantastic and had a lot of longevity, landing at the perfect time to handle the Covid surge) and a good story to keep people roped in. The biggest problems were the job and encounter design hitting the tipping point into the state they've been falling into for a while. It just took time for people to realize that. ShB has the strongest story AND good content, so I'd say it's on the higher end of the expansions, with the caveat that it had long-term damage on the game.EW is a bigger example of a good story blinding people to an expansion's flaws, because it continued ShB's design issues while also having no fucking content. EW is a genuinely weak expansion that makes up for it by having a story that capitalizes hard on emotions to get people really invested, though with proper hindsight you can see how its story is also deeply flawed and cornered future stories by solving TOO much stuff to wrap up the main saga (i.e. a lot of compelling conflicts were resolved way too quickly or off-screen).
>>739095985Most of them were trained to be loyal consoomer golems so when they found a new God they decided they'd be the biggest most loyal fans ever. But of course they know they're bandwagoners so they have to pretend they're not and actually everything before they showed up doesn't count and nobody even played back then.
same ol stormblood arguments. you trannies trying to disrupt an evercold thread is pathetic.
We talk shit about the schizos on the vg but the ones here are no better
>>739096087bozja is dogshit.
>>739095818I've been playing since Heavensward and I can tell you that I am, to this day, the only person I know who gives a shit about the story. /v/ always claims everyone really cares about the FFXIV story, that's the only thing that anyone cares about etc. but everyone I have ever played with, if story comes up or I mention something about it they'll be like "What? Huh? Oh I don't know what that is I skip all the cutscenes." In the ten years I have played I have had that exact conversation at least 50 times. This includes people who have been playing longer than me and still play.
>>739096137Eureka and Bozja are the best parts of FFXIV and I will call you racial slurs if you disagree.Bozja's story is kind of ass, though.
>>739096101There's nothing to talk about for EC yet because it hasn't released, retard.
I like Golbez.
>>739096087Anon, it took until 5.35 for Bozja to be in proper.You had nearly half a year wait between 5.2 and 5.3.
>>739096219Having MMO elements in XIV is too games of thrones-y imo. That's why OC is the best because it's just hunts
>>739095994hell naw
>>739096246same
>>739096125A lot of it is desperation.But also people will keep baiting (even if it's dusty old bait) if people keep biting.
>>739095459>>739095540hmm i have embroiled myself in a single-minded argument about whether WoW is at fault for the brain-drain surrounding expansion attitudes resulting in a reductionist view that MSQ is the only quality indicatori should throw myself full-body into the argument that everybody hated its MSQ in its release window, ackchully
>>739096087>a lot of compelling conflicts were resolved way too quicklylike what? the beast tribe tempering shit getting solved by the fucking pig in a day was pretty bad, but garlicmold was already kinda old news by the time zenos killed it. you can't whitewash and redeem varis like they did with the ascians, his motives and goals are already set in stone and as seen by endwalker 99.9% of garleans are unlikable cunts.
>>739096246me too
>>739096125>>739096341The schizo posting used to be more fun, people used to go bananas and it was funny as fuck
>>739096219It's funny how like 90% of the playerbase has no interest in those zones. If you do like that content then ho-lee shit can you get rich easily because everyone wants the stuff you can only get out of that content and will happily blow millions of gil on the market board for it.

y'know. I kinda wanna play XI nowNever played it back then. I was more of a RO kinda guyIs it worth it to play XI in anno domini MMXXVI
>>739096281Yeah, but that's a problem with every expansion. Bozja's slow release cadence isn't any worse than any other foray other than Diadem (which released early but was received poorly and didn't get updated until the rework at the end of the expansion, which died instantly). The wait between 3.0 and 3.1 nearly killed the game because it was so long after how brutal Gordias was, only for 3.1 to kind of suck outside of Thordan EX being a great fight. Anemos was only added in 4.25. Occult Crescent took forever to get added and is only getting its second zone at the very last hour of the expansion (which is frankly outrageous).>>739096374The longest-running conflicts of the entire world from 1.0 were the beast tribe conflict, Garlemald, and Zodiark. It was kind of a shot in their foot for the first two to essentially be resolved in a single patch and somewhat off-screen and the third to be taken care of in the first quarter of the expansion. But there are others, like how the Final Days, the whole thing that's built up to, is basically contained to a single dungeon and a solo duty (and the only people that die to it are characters introduced in EW so it feels like it has no real impact). Zodiark being finished off at level 83 comes across as a "wow look at how insane the stakes are!" but in retrospect it shows how rapidly they burned through important stuff in EW.It's retroactively kind of ridiculous that we only ever actually fight the fucking Emperor of Garlemald in a fake "What If" battle inside of Cid's head. I know people in these threads like to meme about Garlaboos not getting their Garlemald expansion, but with hindsight I can absolutely say that EW suffers from fast-tracking too much important shit to try to wrap up the saga too quickly, and Garlemald's weirdness is a big part of it. The story is paced rapidly and has a lot of issues, and they tried to tie things up too nicely. The Twelve is another example of that.

>>739096752yea when i went to heavenwards and dravania i was like this is niceeeee. all that eorzean alliance stuff was slop.
>>739096739Same. Hated Meteion as soon as I saw her.
>>739096778Because it did.Pre graphical update.
>>739096559His point still stands. If you think telling new/prospective new players in 2026 that and they'll actually stick around then you don't know people.

>>739096578I'm an endbryo, though?
>>739096846Unless you're endgame-brained (and we don't want you if that's the case) there's basically no difference from starting MSQ to stick around for the end of Stormblood as there is for sticking around for the end of DawntrailNew players don't care, this is a "holy shit six cakes!" problem for anybody hooked by the story

SOVLokay, I'll give XI a try at some point
How do you Dragoonbros feel about all the positional stuff in Evolved mode?
>>739097030floortanks dont get to talk
>Dragoons are gonna be soaking tankbusters with their pseudo LB now
>>739096846Bro I started when Endwalker was still in development. I played the game over months. And that's how my new friends are doing it now. You don't need to reach the endgame immediately.
>>739096943stormblood isn't even the halfway point>for anybody hooked by the storyyou drastically overestimate how much most people actually give a shit about the story
>>739097030Retards are going to complain about it because it's named Sinistral and Dextral and they're too low IQ to understand what those mean. It will get change within a week of release.
>>739097030Is surprising it wasn’t like that before
>>739097030Feels great, Dragoon's always struggled with having positionals in a meaningful way that aren't also fucking annoying, tying successful positionals to gauge generation and "burst" while also offering positional ignores in an OGCD attack that forces you to move is great. Sky High is something I didn't think was realistic to want in PvE and we got it>>739097094You got filtered by Larboard and Starboard popping up in MonHun Wilds didn't you anon
>>739097030They're increasing positional requirements instead of just eliminating them, so it's shit. NOBODY wants positionals, they're relics of old shitty mmos nobody wants they make things harder for no reason and limit how and where I can tank the boss
>>739097196you are not the main character. DO YOUR JOB TANK

>>739097081>stormblood isn't even the halfway pointStormblood used to be the end-pointThis really doesn't matter anon, if you're the example of somebody that's endgame-brained enough to get daunted by how many MSQ quests there are and be driven off from the game, not only is that why MSQ skips exist for an extra charge (and everybody's gonna laugh at you when they see you in full tomestone gear if you bought a level skip to rocket to endgame too, since you still have the actual leveling up process to do) but nobody really gives a shit if somebody gets daunted by the MSQ quantity, they either sign on or they don't
>>739097196t. xenosissy
>>739096087I still don't get how everyone just accepts that Zenos came back to life. That was the most retarded shit I've ever witnessed in a video game narrative and the FFXIV community overlooks it when talking about how amazing and great the pre-DT story supposedly is.
>>739097327Maybe because it was established in ARR (the story you skipped) that the Echo can allow people to avoid death and that's how Ascians work.
>>739097283who said I was "endgame-brained?" the story isn't and has never been anywhere near as good as you tards pretend it isif I hadn't experienced it piecemeal over the course of a decade I would've never tried it in the first placemost people pick up the game in spite of the massive story, not because of it
>>739097196i like positionals

>>739097453my brother in christ, you're completely delusional if you think anybody sticks with the game because they're just sooo invested in the story of ARRthey stick around because everyone keeps telling them it gets betterthis has always been the case
>>739096943>(and we don't want you if that's the case)Unless you work for Square Enix whoever you are referring to as "we" is irrelevant. As for the "new players are hooked by the story they don't care blah blah" you're forgetting: It's 2026. Find the average zoomer gamer and see how hooked they are by ARR's riveting fast paced narrative that will make them excited to play through thousands of quests.>>739097080Again, that's you. You are an outlier, and no offense but you're not important. If the game wants to survive for the foreseeable future it has to make substantial money, not be a niche product. It needs broad appeal. Blizzard figured this out years ago with WoW which is why it's the absolute fucking directionless mess it is where all but the current expansion is already unlocked if you start as a new player. I pray to God they never do that to FFXIV, that's a horrible answer to the problem, but they're going to have to find an answer if the game wants to survive outside of maintenance mode beyond Evercold.
>>739097235No you don't. You THINK you do, but you don't.
>>739097587It's literally 2026 and ain't nobody got time for allat. We do live in a world where Ninja was streaming FFXI for a while anon. "Zoomers don't have the attention span for that" but really it's you that doesn't have the attention span for it, zoomers are fine.
Xiv can not survive without mass immigration.
>>739097653you don't know what I want
>>739097587>You are an outlierI even said my sprouts friends are doing the same as me. 1 is in the SHB patches, the other is at EW. Are you baiting any chance?
>>739097690yeah, and my grandpappy smoked two packs a day for 50 years and never got lung cancerdo you know what an anecdote is
>>739097327>That was the most retarded shit I've ever witnessed in a video game narrativeYou should become a streamer and play the Kingdom Hearts games. I want to watch you have a mental breakdown in real time.
>>739097030I'm stoked.
>>739097327it was stupid. getting his body back instead of being an elezen was stupid as well. him getting data dumped by eledibus was dumb and him being around endwalker was dumb too.
you guys having fun epically trolling each other? i'm sure you'll get him this time :)
>>739097682Thats literally what it sounds like
>>739097371That doesn't make it any less retarded. A retarded MacGuffin is still retarded even if it's pre-established.
honestly dawntrail could have been the expansion to give player a new start, and give them an abridge version of the last saga and for those who wanted to play the whole story the original start
>>739097030when did they show them? i hate positionals its what keeps me from playing melee more often
>>739097683cute smug creature
THATS WHAT THE UNENDING CODEX IS FOR YOU FUCKING SECONDARIES
>>739097814It seems like they were setting up for that with the Unending Codex but they realized they didn't want to do that half-way through the setup
>>739097814>new start with the absolute worst story that doesn't matter in the end besides shard keylol
>>739097814The original plan was to let people start at 6.1, its why they reintroduce a couple scions each patch and give you that journal with summaries of shit that's happened. But then DT tanked the game and it was scrapped.
>One Piece is infamously long>this infamous length is the reason most people never sit and watch One Piece>but this couldn't possibly also apply to ffxiv because I cried when Horsefart died
>>739097587This is an issue that exists primarily in your mind.You can 'play with your friends' at almost any time between ARR and DT. You don't need it to be Heavyweight. There is a raid series per expansion that is just as engaging. There are forays, there's fishing, there's BLU. You do not, nor did you ever need to rush to endgame to have fun or 'play the real game'. That's the case in games like WoW because every piece of content there is tossed under the rug the moment the next expansion launches. I can go and do Omega, or Eden, or Four Lords just fine. I can go into Ishgard Restoration and grind my brain out, or collect every spell.And if you don't want to play with your friends unless they're doing strictly the content that released 5 months ago or earlier? Well, then that's a you-issue.
>>739097970One Piece is more valuable than every Squeenix IP combined.
>>739097970okay and
>>739097970And for how many people is skipping right to the last 10 chapters (as of now) the solution to this?
>>739098019From the same event
>>739092283faggot lizard didn't even dress his kid properly
>>739096406barry scatposting, those were the days
>>739098085who said anything about skipping? I'm saying it's retarded to sit here and pretend nobody ever got put off by the massive storyespecially when said story is kinda shit for about 90% of its runtime
>>739098172>this infamous length is the reason most people never sit and watch One Piece
Is Jollibee actually good?
>>739098172And why do we care if zoomie number 11 is scared by the story length. 14 is SE's cashcow as it is now
>>739096943>Unless you're endgame-brained (and we don't want you if that's the case)The delusion of people like you who think the game belongs to you or some shit is hilarious. You're like those troons on Xitter/Bluesky who say that bigots who don't respect pronouns aren't allowed to play FFXIV.Go on, stop me faggot.The truth is the overwhelming majority of people don't care about the story in FFXIV, or any video game for that matter. People want to hop on and PLAY the game not watch cutscenes and read. They want to kill shit, or explore shit, or get loot. This is the sole reason 90% of the people who play video games do so, and it always has been.
>>739098206Better than KFC but not mindblowing
>>739098223>o yea? o yea? well i'm gonna play ur game anyway!!!! lurr lurr lurr lurr lurrOK
>>739098198yes, that's what I saidwhere does that say "skip to the last 10 chapters"
>>739098223The game belongs to me over endgameslugs tbf.
What was the most whitepilling thing about the fan fest for you guys?For me, it's when Dragoon was shown to have 3 different positionals instead of just flank and rear
>>739098223>if you don't heckin add a skip or truncate the story people like me WILL NOT PLAY THE GAMERINO>okay we dont want endgame-brained fags anyway>HEY HEY HEY WHOA NOW IM PLAYING THE GAME AND YOU CANT STOP ME CHECKMATE CHUDDYWhoa, got 'em.
People would have liked Wuk a lot more if she was even half as anti-jew as Luffy.
>>739098307Sky High, the announcement of Evolved and Reborn jobs in general, the announcement that they were getting rid of party buffs across the board and citing homogeneous raid design as why they wanted rid of that part of jobs
>>739098307Shut up lalatard.Also when Dragoon was shown to have the PvP LB jump with a stated 90% damage reduction (let's see if it stays) every 1 minute.And when Dragoon was shown to have Spineshatter Dive every 20 seconds.
>>739098307DRG in general, honestlymy chief complaint since ShB has been the shit job design, moving away from "puke out burst and 123 until next burst" is everything I want
>>739098307no kate. no hiroi. the absolute state of lamati and the marketing ignoring a lot of DT.
>>739098226its better than popeyes but not better than kfc
>>739098307Honestly speaking? Everything about evolved jobs. The way they look right now and their intentions for them, i.e. DRG and BRD jumps, the removal of synergy shit (2m meta) for everyone, even non-evolved. The fact that their intention is for evolved to have a full kit by level 50 so there is the possibility that early gameplay might at least be a tiny bit engaging.
>>739098369>remove party buffs>but add in PvP limit breaks, making AST a forced pick everytime due to it's insane buff
>>739098432We dunno how much of PvP design is actually going to come over albeit
>>739098251So why are you opining? Are you just randomly farting in the wind to be noticed?
>>739098521no, see, I'm calling you a blithering fucking retard for acting like nobody ever got put off by the story being really long and mostly not very interestingespecially when they already trimmed huge chunks of it once for that exact reason
>>739098653>no, see, please notice me senpaaAAAACKI see.
>>739098307The 3rd raid difficulty. I'm coping that they've finally learned their lesson and will stop devoting 90% of the non-msq resources to raidtrannies.
>>739098679are you still talking?
>>739098369I'm excited for Sky Shatter too2m going away is a good thing imo, some jobs could probably be a lot more fun without it>>739098370That damage mit will probably be tuned a bit lower, I'm betting on itI wonder if they'll commit to that Jump being a dive still, but with the freedom to spend and stock as you see fit it shouldn't matter anymore>>739098387They tried very hard to ignore DT, I was glad>>739098428The biggest reason I don't run roulettes unless I need to is because I lose 80-90% of my kit
>>739098689You already have normal mode, though?
>>739098307The trailer looking like Shadowbringers 2 (feat. Heavensward)The CEO coming out to say they were giving FFXIV a budget"Fuck the two minute meta" live on stageThe really adorable and hot Ryne cosplayer I sawMr. Prime being the only based LoL player
>>739098742>That damage mit will probably be tuned a bit lowerWhich is when a big part of its flair dies. The fact that you barely take any damage contributes heavily to the idea that your character is actually in the air. I hope they really consider it before they go butchering the dmg reduction. It could lead to 'clever use of game mechanics' to change situations, which they could find worrisome, but also, it's really an example of the kind of thing this game could use more of: multiple ways to tackle the same encounter.
>>739098789>Mr. Prime being the only based LoL player>ADC mainyeah i dunno bout that
nuke b*lmung
Do you want Noxious Gnash back /v/?
>>739099232Was that the dot? Dont know why they got rid of it so quickly.
For me, the biggest problem new players face in XIV is that all the gameplay on the old stuff is a joke, they are powercrept to hell and back. And I'm NOT talking about difficulty here.It's not about being difficult, it's about the content feeling like a real boss fight, a real dungeon, etc. Trials that were kino moments and lasted 10 minutes in their original states nowadays dies in under 3 minutes. Getting Thordan, Leviathan, or any other old trial on a roulette is an absolute joke. I feel bad for the sprouts who have just seen an awesome buildup only for the actual fight to be... That...And don't even get me started on the now mandatory Crystal Tower experience. Players are probably hyped to hell to do this first massive raid with 20 dudes just for the bosses to die before they can even finish watching their cutscene.The game DESPERATELY needs some form of rebalance to make old content last longer enough for the players to enjoy the music and atmosphere at the very least
>>739099253It was a Reaper styled "I do more damage to this monster" debuff applied, most likely gotten rid of because Viper didn't have any job gauge feeding done with it like Reaper does and a virtually identical effect is had by giving the Viper a personal power-up
>>739099328yea
>>739099328fuck off SECONDARY no one should have to cater to your stupid ass opinion . thousands of players have played it this way
>>739099328Reborn jobs are probably addressing that, you're supposed to have your full kip by 50 and everything past that is upgrades
>>739099392we know you're buttmad that people shut you down, but you don't have to falseflag as the guy who pissed you off
>>739099328Most of those old fights were always jokes. Thordan was a joke week 1 of HW.
>>739099328i remember first time doing labyrinth of the ancients and while watching the cutscene before the final boss people just went for it and when I catch up, they have the boss almost kill already lol
>>739099328some of those they'd have to give actually worthwhile mechanicslike crystal tower
>you need to cater to ME the new playernah fuck off tranny.
>>739099328We used to have to drag skeletons and use jump pads in the Crystal Tower series...these youngins just don't know...
>>739099752enough out of you, unc
>>739099328>>739099752Btw Yoshi said that he wanted to shorten and simplify 24 mans further
what do you notice about this party first?
>>739099825bro wtf is that fag in the hoodie drip wearing
>>739099825why is the goldsmith chick in that group
>>739099825The fact that there's no Dragon X Ryne smut yet
>>739099825that hideous modern glam abomination fiddie
>>739099825Gay Hrothgar first, followed shortly by ugly modernslop glamour
>>739099825AY YOOOO DAT FIDDIE XIVVING IT HARDCORE SHEEEEEESHGO XIVVIE ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY GO XIVVIE ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY
>>739099752You could skip the pads on patch with a good group. ST was undertuned from day 1.
>>739099804Are they just gonna break it up like normal raids? I hate that this game is in reality just a multi-player boss rush
>>739099918this would be the best emote for trolling people in pvp
>>739099253Yoshida bragged about personally getting it removed despite the protesting from the combat director to make it "less stressful" to play because 2% of the nips complained they had to think about it for their epic super kirito job
>>739099951FR?
>>739099949we don't know. but i don't feel LotA is enhanced by having a minimum of 6 minutes of running to the next encounter

>>739099918It's the Killer Bean dance>>739099945Most 24 mans are under tuned, you can skip so much stuff in Dawntrail's 24 mans already just like Myths of the Realm
>>739099328the fact that Cape Westwind was allowed to stay in the game in a state where the fight was done in 10 seconds for so many years is fucking insane, and I hate that their solution was to remove the trial completely and turn it into a solo duty instead.How about rebalancing old content and fixing the ilvl sync system or something?
>>739099949It sounded to me like they want to give it the variant dungeon treatment and only have you fight 2~3 of the bosses in a given run.
>>739099992I like that there's actual environments to traverse in alliance raids.Instead of just zoning into an arena for normal raids and fighting a single boss.
>>739100067seethe more secondary no one cares.
>>739100067shut up, the new cape westwind is fucking kino
>>739100032i dont think anybody believes japanese gamers are hardcore past 2005
>>739100104this nigger got his booty blasted so hard he's just replying to everyone with his shitty falseflagsyou fags are pathetic
>>739100001>23 jobs>20 glamour platesNot that it matters anyway. Unless you're buying duplicate gear like a sheer autist, roles are gonna be sharing the same gear at endgame all over the place so at best you're constantly swapping plates if you really need a per job fit.
>>739100067>How about rebalancing old content and fixing the ilvl sync system or something?Do this so we can actually see ARR alliance raid mechanics please
>>739100067honestly the new cape westwind is way better now for new players than a 10 sec trial
>>739099825first thing to catch my eye is the faggot hrothgarsecond is the modernslop fiddie
>>739100001Maid outfit for all my crafter jobs.
>>739100067Getting a personal one-on-one fight to the death with an unrelenting Rhitahtyn is way cooler than any impersonal trial where he throws around a few orange circles on the ground could ever be.
Where the HECK is the TANK STANCE LADY? I ahvent seen her in YEARS.

>>739100336us trans gals def need a hammer for these chasers lol
>>739100325UMMMMMMMMMMMMMM TANK.....
I just wana say I really like the animation in this game. Just teleporting from one place to another is such a cool thing to watch. Coming from a game like WoW, it's really nice how there is more focus on animation than just flashing bright colors at you and calling it a day.
>log in for free login campaign to catch up the msq>skip every single scene with wuk lamat>finally get to 7.4>game starts to actually feel like ffxiv againevercold... we're going home...
>>739078137just make a macro that uses it on yourself
What would (you) think about every piece of content being unsychable? There are some things in this game that are definitely dead or at the very least you need to lurk for some Discord to do it.There's no chance in hell that a prog for Chaotic would fill in PF today, trying to do things like the savage Bozja raid or savage Criterion dungeons is also a fools errand.I feel like the only old piece of content that is still moderately doable through PF that cannot be unsynched are ultimates and even them you still have to wait ungodly hours to fill prog parties for.We being able to use our full power in every content would be a welcome change in my eyes. I just want to be able to grab a few friends and go try some old but not so old content, just like we can do with savages and extremes
>>739100703No
>>739100703I don't really care that much either way honestly. I wouldn't be upset if they did, but there are so many other minor things I'd rather be implemented instead.
>>739100490tataru keeps doing that shit . she did it in patch 7.5 when i was looking at key to waste my time with garleniggers.

Has a single egirl ever approached this guy and went "omg you're so cool and sexy for clearing ucob please fuck me"?
im very interested in doing the advanced version of the latest merchants tale variant dungeon but i fear ive missed the boat on it. is it something i can pf or are people queueing for it?
>check mmopopulations.com>XI has 100,000 more current active players than XIVHuh? Is this websites metrics messed up?
>>739102469this game has a popularity contest feel to it for sure. People will go to great lengths to stand out. I dont use ultimate titles or weapons anymore, its pretty much like the burger king crown at this point.
>>739102639No, it's really that over. Also WoW Classic is down to 9k players and retail to 1k. Time to migrate to XI
>>739102472Probably a long shot, but you can easily do it with 2 people if you have 1 friend.
>>739102472It's doable with only 2 people, i have done it with a friend of mine an it was possibly the most fun that i had in this game.Just grab 1 friend and do it!
>final quest of 8.0>EvercoldDAAAMN THEY DID IT
>>739102469Like 95% of people you see using those glowsticks bought them. Its only $12~ nowadays to have some chinks bot you through the fight of your choice.
>>739102639yes obviously you stupid nigger
>>739101601>shit and piss so hard it gets other people involved>pat yourself on the back when other people do all the work to clean your waste up
>>739066504It's insane that they have those two sisters in the Scions where one is so addicted to getting double-penetrated by roe cock that she literally cannot fucking talk about anything else than "how much she longs to once again be sandwiched between their brotherly love". In the latest MSQ when to go back to Mor Dhona her pussy is literally dripping because both Hoary and Ochre are in the same room abs she's having a horny breakdown.
>>739102894It's so funny to see this shit still in the big 2026. At most, people bought UCOB and maybe TOP clears when both fights were at their release patch. NO ONE is buying ult clears today because old ults are powercrept an extreme amount ever expansion, a toddler can clear TOP today. Hell, a toddler could clear FRU on release.
>>739102984He's the lynchpin to everything, so he does deserve credit. Ilberd is the most important XIV character and it's not even close.
>>739102894>botWhat? Are there bots that can do ultimates?
>>739094646This is a conversation most here are not yet ready to have, but Yoshida is a massive anit-imperialism libshit that is embarrassed by most of Japan's history and it reflects on FFXIV very visibly. Dawntrail and Wuk Lamat is what he wanted the mmo to become, not Heavensward, Stormblood and Shadowbringers. Whatever good things had managed to come out of those expansions, they came to be in spite of him and not because of him.
>>739102469>>739102683>>739102894>>739103058
>>739102683>this game has a popularity contest feel to it for sure. People will go to great lengths to stand out.Its true, im going for the Luckiest of Lord/Lady title once I finish my 500k cosmic point grind.
>>739103082I'd say Thordan deserves more credit.He killed Lahabrea, which began the downward spiral of the Unsundered
>>739103058the man that saved stormblood.
>>739103116I'm a soon to be septalegend. You can get every ult from UCO-TOP in a year on a casual schedule and that's being very ungenerous. If you lock in you can get all 6 ults done in like 8 months. FRU is a joke so it barely counts as one.
>>739103114He SHOULD be embarrassed by Japanese history.They lost. They fucking losers. The biggest losers of all time.
>>739102243>No more shall man have blankies to keep him cozy and warm.>Henceforth, he shall freeze.
>>739103175That's embarrassing.
>>739103189I'd say Germany lost way harder than they had. Japan can at least be proud in being able to claim to have successfully exported their otaku culture to the rest of the world. Germany produced nothing other than furfaggotry.
I DON'T KNOW BUT I'VE BEEN TOLDHALMARUT'S PUSSY IS EVERCOLD
>>739102796why is me having a friend a "long shot"?youre right ;_;
>>739103058To be honest the hardest part of doing an old ultimate is actually entering the instance.If this game had an actual very active playerbase doing those things i feel that yeah, they would be "easy". With the help of a guide i think that with 20-30 hours attempting it most people could learn the thing and clear. Maybe a little more or less.But the thing is that it can take hours for your party to fill for the specific fight and the specific prog point that you are, and it's not uncommon for people to leave in less than 1 hour of practice.Doing an ult on patch is actually easier than trying an old one because you can actually practice more nonstop without losing gaming days because you waited for a party to fill and it didn't
OMG YOSHI P FANFIC HOUR MY FAVORIIIITE!!!!!!

>>739103394MHIGGER COPE
>>739093257wan piss has a better story though.
>>739103058only stormblood expansion ultimates are easythe others require at least a month of progging (or less if you're unemployed).
>>739103175A big issue with Ultimates is this game flat out does not care about the balance of anything that isnt week 1 savage single target dps.Step outside of that criteria and the game falls apart fast. Old ultimates can't be unsync'd but they might as well be able to with how much powercreep happens and drags them down anyway. I did UCOB in Endwalker, Phase 3 requires you to get Bahamut below 60%. We had him down in the low 30s.You just gotta memorize the spots to stand and know how to mit and ultimates become kinda samey. Even the EW ultis are getting easier due to powercreep.

>>739103542Don't do that lala friend, you will pay later
>>739103482TEA is even easier than UCOBFRU is easier than TEA.
>>739073748I have returned to check my post and not a single one made a good argument in favor of keeping the MSQ the way it is.
>>739103542Imagine the shits
Only the stupid fucking Caiman left.
I want the Ultimate glowy weapons but I do not want to sit around waiting for party finder to fill
>>739103765Get a group
>>739103716started from the false premise of "the MSQ should be shortened" thoughbeit
>>739103805I have never said that.
>>739103801I'm too shit for that
>>739103765glamourer is for you
>>739103805The MSQ should be lengthened. ARR and Heavensward should be expandedMore rich lore and worldbuilding Dawntrail should be deleted though
>>739103834So you want to make it longer then?
>>739103838No you're not, you're just not tryingThere are very few people that are just "bad"
>>739103884its gonna get longer regardless thats the nature of it.
>>739103765This. But also add i don't want to treat the game like a job where i have a fucking schedule to play a videogame. If more people played this shit maybe the experience of progging wouldn't be so miserable
XVI should be added as an expansionBenedickta should be added as a mount
I really want to fuck that BSTussy.
>>739103894Made for smooches
>>739097979>You can 'play with your friends' at almost any time between ARR and DT.yeah and do very dead, disjointed and imbalanced content.last time I tried to do four lords the queue per fight was 3-5 hours.its a joke to compare it to recent stuff.
>guys why isn't the 6-10 year old content active?nigga
>>739103894cute!
>>739104067Then let me unsynch it. If only the newest piece of content is realistic doable without Discord, why keep the others inaccessible?
>>739103805There is a lot of fluff that could be deleted or given free skips around.Dawntrail is now an awkward shit sandwitch between Endwalker and Evercold that should be addressed too.
>>739104130>Then let me unsynch it.no get a static or team to do it
>>739104134The only real problem with DT is the first half of 7.0.And the 7.1 part about the buffalo.
>>739104223Second half setting is cool, sure, but it's still written so poorly it's painful
Just let me unsynch Ultimates already
>>739104223Solution 9 and Golden Amarout are also bad.
>>739096374there was no need to redeem varis.what they shouldve done is make him antagonize the ascians and bet the whole empire on it.the character was set up in a very interesting situation, being caught between the scions and finding out that everything about garlemald is fake and gay.they squandered it.

now that the dust has settled, was everything burns kino or cringe
>>739104398why does alphinaud have boobs
>>739104398It's only cringe if you know who Tom Morello is and if you care about politics on Twitter
>>739098085there are projects like one pace and oda is preparing shortened material right now to make it less of a drag.series like gundam did that too.they all acknowledge that a series at its start when its new and doesnt have much content, a series thats being enjoyed by people who already saw all the old stuff and a series that someone starts after 20+ years are entirely different experiences.
>>739104486I wish I knew even less about twitter but people keep shoving twitter posts into my fucking face
>>739104398I think it sounds better than most XIV vocal tracks by virtue of having an actual singer instead of some intern with a hundred filters slapped over their voice
>>739104486Have you considered the song just sucks?
>>739104398I like it as a standalone song, I like that the vocalist isn't forty yards deep in the fucking mix even if the lyrics are whatever, but it really sticks out not pertaining to the fight at all. People who say it's the WoL wrestling theme are producing some pretty high quality copium at least, it almost works. Every time I do Lindwurm it just feels like I'm muting the game music and listening to something I found on youtube instead.
>>739104398Pretty nice song, but sucks for the fight it's in and I don't really like how there's modern zoomslang in it. Feels immersion-shattering. Even more so than The Mirror, because at least a lot of that song's modern slang bits are focused on the actual content the song is a riff on (and are less audible if you're not listening closely), which is also the same for Ride the Rhythm. It's very clear Everything Burns has nothing whatsoever to do with where it was used and they just found a place to shove it in. And they didn't even do something fun like have it play for another rematch with Brute Bomber or him coming in to help with the Lindwurm, which would have at least made some sense.Basically, it gets mogged by Absolute Tyranny, which is just an all around awesome track that fits the fight, the character, and the tempo of the mechanics. If they were just random songs that got released unrelated to the game, Everything Burns would probably win. But in the context of being on a soundtrack, Absolute Tyranny takes it.

Yet another successful threadFunni
>>739105439Kill yourself
>>739093997The intro with the reflections and the azem gummies before the trailer actually starts.
>>739104398this image is so fucking gay why would someone make this
>>739105465Nah
>>739099328You kill most of the bosses in the first expansions before the song gets to the good part lmao
>>739105323i had to look up what absolute tyranny even sounded like because i dont remember it at all and i still do weekly reclears
>>739105501Probably some autistic 15 year old who is literally gay. Every day I wake up glad my cringe era of producing autistic bullshit is buried in some shit fan forums. Really narrowly dodged social media keeping it around for eternity.
I always remember it because it sounds like the sort of boomer rock my dad likes. Like I'd find that song right after an Alice and Chains track on his playlist.
