We won. Doomers are crying and seething right now because FFXIV defeated WoW again. We are NEVER going back to WoW. Remember Torghast? Garrisons? Fruit bowls? Exactly. FFXIV has over ONE MILLION PLAYERS. If FFXIV was a country, it would be in the top 99% of most-populated countries. Take that, doomers.

There are some really grindy achievements there that enough people gun for to populate the instance.

OC is not only optional but it's far and away the most inefficient way of doing any step but demiatma grinding, which can still be less efficient depending on which colors you need remaining

They need to figure that out. They're stunlocked in thinking that the only way to include sidecontent is by making it mandatory.
Instead, if they want to use something, just have a warning ingame saying "this story will assume you've done this content, it's advised to do that for context".
Them having to constantly tiptoe around all the good stuff they have available has been frustrating.
Because Eden being setup to help link the First/Thirteenth is probably the way they're gonna go with the Ninth/Fourth.

Curious to see more details on the switch 2 version. I intend to sell my PS5 soon and don't mind the NS2 becoming my main platform.

It all depends on how much the standalone Switch 2 XIV sub costs and if I'm allowed to just import my save from the steam release.
>>
>>743829658
switch 2 sub is half-cost if you have any other subscription active, full cost otherwise, normal price

your character remains the same, but upload your settings from the char-select menu so you can download them on switch 2 and not have to set up your cross hitbars and HUD again

I think they know by now. Every panel tiptoed around talking about DT. When Koji was talking about the hardest lyrics to write, he did this long explanation about all the things Smile involved and didn't even outright say it directly, then moved on promptly.

Gaia.

Hoary Boulder should stay the leader of the secondary squad. I wouldn't mind hearing more about the secondary Scion's accomplishments and what they're doing while we run around, but let Hoary stay there.

I like Sphene but unfortunately she needs to stay in city leader prison just like Aymeric, Lyse, and Gaius. Most importantly because that means Wuk Lamat will also have to stay locked in city leader prison with the rest of them. An unfortunate sacrifice to keep the beast sealed.

Gaia doesn't have any hold-ups and being able to have the lore about which Ascians are active/dead be active canon would be nice. As well as the research on reversing the light blight would be useful in other storylines like the Void plot and possibly other shards. If we're making Eden canon, then might as well have Gaia join us officially.

>>743831750
ability skins, third raid difficulty, and new raid will be like single slides and not that interesting. Maybe more for the skins. The only thing I have hopes for the animation skins are that they are introduced as new rewards for completing battle content, and not just locked to cash shop, or locked behind some hyper specific thing like Gold Saucer or something.

The public field improvements could be interesting if they actually have a unique idea. That or it will be a complete nothing-burger.

New job will at least give some good conversation. I'm expecting it to be Sentinel with dual tower shields, but I wonder what FF characters or concepts it's taking inspiration from. (like how Viper clearly had some Zidane and FF12 Judge inspirations.)
>>
>>743821726
No to Gaia and no to Sphene. I like Sphene, but they give us a Sphene-like girl in every xpac it seems and another one is coming. I'll take Hoary Boulder. Though I think we need an adult woman other than Y'shtola in the group who is not doomed to a child's body forever (Alisaie) or a lala.

It's Advanced. If you did the new criterion dungeon that's literally what it is, mechanics that are slightly more complex than hard mode ARR and HW dungeons were at time of release. Not even as hard as Coils.

My expectation/hope for third difficulty is vulns instead of damage down for getting hit by mechanics, and less/no body count mechanics, but otherwise mechanics can be as fast/complex as savage. Just high damage instead of instant wipes when a mechanic is failed.

The goal should be that a good healer pair can keep the fight going and help people practice through later parts of the fight. And that general PF parties can still clear fights consistently even if one person that joins is a shitter, without them completely bricking the party out of a clear.

>>743821726
Hoary Boulder just because they made their bed with Sphene being in the Fridge like Lyse and Wuk, and because Gaia would be out of place both lorewise in this expac and without Ryne. Hoary gives them an opportunity to make a likable character with some fresh interesting backstory to expand the world and the lore.

I just finished the Dawntrail beast tribes today, at the end of my first month's sub since DT released.

In a word; fucking boring, all of them. Zero comedy, zero interest. None of the races received any extra characterisation from DT, all of them are the same bland slop as they were back then.
>The pelupelu are an entire race of gigajews, but they only want to ever make fair deals because they're nice, your task is to help others appreciate the local diverse culture :)
>The Yok Huy are an entire race of respectful mountain hermits and are nice, your task is to recover their beautiful rich in history traditions to restore their relationship with the bunny spirits, who seem like dicks at first but were merely misunderstood and are nice :)
>The mamool ja are insular, backwards and have a cruel culture that prizes strength above all... but not any more! Now they just want to grow crops and be nice :)

Zero humour, zero substance, and zero sauce on any of them. You know what we did in previous beast tribes? In one of them we built a tank. In another we led a group of elephant bosozoku to dominance over the local gangs. We rescued the Namazu from slavery in another, and we rebuilt the fucking UNIVERSE in another. I know there were some stinkers in previous expacs, but after how good EW's were I had better hopes for DT's. I give them a 3/10. They would be a 1/10, but they get one point for being 'merely' incredibly boring and not offensively awful, and a second point for being good EXP. Actually, come to think of it, I'm subtracting a point again because of having to zone in and out of Zigorteh the Open-Armed every day. So, 2/10.

Yea, its like I always said
DT definitely hurt the game, but acting like it was ALL people quitting was silly
There was always a patch lull.
And some of the people who quit came back after seeing the EC keynote. Even steam charts shows this.
And I bet we will see another spike in users if this fanfest is good too.
Also, though anecdotal, people are saying they are seeing lots of sprouts, probably even more with Switch 2 release
Bottom line, the whole "dying game" has always been silly to me

>>
>>743846320
>Also, though anecdotal, people are saying they are seeing lots of sprouts, probably even more with Switch 2 release

I'd wager that this is almost solely because of the free trial upgrade. Which, yeah, does mean there'll be a bump in players, but they're not representative of the post-Dawntrail playerbase (who actually pay for the game).

I find Fordola more interesting than most of the Scions desu. She's essentially the equivalent of a Polish teenager who was conscripted into the Wehrmacht and now has to live in a post-WW2 world where she's rightfully reviled as a monster but also it wasn't completely her fault. It's a level of moral nuance that's otherwise totally lacking from this game.

>>743848470
>Dark Kight: want to see how much they change his mitigation now that he is a sub-tank
I think the most obvious change they could make is reworking TBN so that it gives you a damage buff, but only if you apply it on another player.
>>
>>743848778
>where she's rightfully reviled as a monster
She collected taxes. I will never understand why this community acts like Fordola was holocausting groids.
>>
>>743848867
>She collected taxes.
The Polish teenager in the Wehrmacht might have just been a cook, or handled logistics for a supply depot. Doesn't really change how her people would see her. And Fordola did more than just collect taxes, she fought for Garlemald in situations where she didn't have to and could have easily surrendered.

No, you just seem to have trouble thinking of events from another's point of view. To Fordola, those terrorists were not her fellows. They were seething boomers who were making life difficult for people like her who were born in Garlemald and wanted to assimilate and be accepted. Fordola is not Ala Mhigan, she is Garlean. She was born in Garlemald, she was raised in Garlemald, she was mentored all her life by Gaius. The resistance groups were, from her point of view, troublemaking terrorists. Furthemore, that's all completely justified military action. She wasn't invading anyone, she was defending her nation's territory.

now that i remember her dad was also killed by his fellow "compatriots" thought it was also made possible thanks to the garleans being pieces of shit, I think the whole problem of fordola arc is that is tied to fucking zenos, where she appears to be doing what she does more from fear of zenos rather than hate for her own people like yotsuyu.
>>
>>743849851
>To Fordola, those terrorists were not her fellows. They were seething boomers
The people she killed were around the same age as her.
>who were making life difficult for people like her who were born in Garlemald
They were born in Ala Mhigo, as was she. Being born in a conquered territory doesn't make you the nationality of the conqueror. Are Palestinians in the West Bank actually Israeli?
>Fordola is not Ala Mhigan, she is Garlean
Actually everything we know about Garlean society, including the cutscenes where we see how Fordola is looked down on by actual Garleans, contradicts that. Even Zenos keeps her around because just like with Yotsuyu in Doma, he identifies correctly that she has a lot of personal trauma against her own people and will happily carry out atrocities against them.
>The resistance groups were, from her point of view, troublemaking terrorists.
Because she was was a conscripted teenager and that's the worldview she was raised with. That's the "moral nuance" part.
>>
>>743850076
Something a lot of people forget is that Zenos has only been in charge for Ala Mhigo for a few months at the most. He took over and instantly started fucking around just to make people upset on purpose. Fordola is still thinking of things like Gaius is around.

>>743850259
>Being born in a conquered territory doesn't make you the nationality of the conqueror. Are Palestinians in the West Bank actually Israeli?
Fordola has never known anything but Garlean society. That's her life, she considers herself to be Garlean and always has.
>Actually everything we know about Garlean society, including the cutscenes where we see how Fordola is looked down on by actual Garleans, contradicts that.
Wrong, you're forgetting that she was personally mentored by Gaius. She was raised in his presence and imbued with his ideals. To Fordola, it's simply a matter of fact that people who work hard and contribute are just as Garlean as Gaius or Solus. What she believes is that it's the resistance that's making the other Garleans distrust her and the other kids who just want to assimilate.

I was honestly disappointed with Eulmore, you will think that a city that host all the richest people left in the world with a leader that is crazy and uninterested in managing the city would fall into depravity really fucking fast, but them just being a little capricious feel really weird for how they should behave giving their position, I guess SE didn’t want to have heavy themes in the city and just used the excuse of mind control shit.

>Morpher
Tank job based on Vincent from FF7
Doesn't use a gun, instead morphs their body parts into various monster limbs to attack with. The job's 'weapon' is a single gauntlet. Vincent's golden arm is the AF weapon.
Using one monster's attacks too often will cause you to fully transform, reducing your skillset to only a few buttons. Extremely powerful but very limited.
Galian Beast is high mobility with ranged fire attacks.
Death Gigas has most of your tanky abilities and if you transform you become bulky as fuck. Invuln ability force transforms you into Death Gigas.
Hellmasker has an attack that does a random amount of hits between 2-10. Another attack that's like Grynewaht's channeled chainsaw. GNB-esque fast paced GCDs.

You're very close to understanding that the job lore isn't what's pigeon-holed, it's that the gear designers have only one idea that they've been repeating for over a decade.
