What do you guys think? Is this acceptable for playing the game at high skill level?

Why wouldn't it be? You don't need more than 60 for this game, I'd argue even 60 is a luxury even for savage.

No need. They are dumbing down the game for new people to join in. The newest ultimate was a step down in difficulty and even the new forked tower magic extreme is much easier than the previous forked tower blood raid because of complaints. The new midcore difficulty and the evolved jobs is the final nail in the coffin for high end raiding.

FF14 hasn't been a skill or progression game for quite some time, it's just millennials jerking off and treating it like second life.

Yoshi P is the DSP gaming of game developers.

He is fixated with ego and looking successful, without just making a better game to get those players. Instead he just keeps releasing the game on more and more platforms to pad out numbers (it will often be the same players who are already playing, but are on a new platform now).

There is no universe where releasing the game on so many platforms is a good thing, he does not have the manpower to make this work without ruining the game and working the developers so hard they leave and go work at another studio.

How does this image relate to anything? You don’t even understand what it means or why it was made. There is nothing out of canon universe in the trailer. It does not clash with the tone, things do not have to be one note. Contrast is not a bad thing. A brief moment to breathe for literally 3 seconds before going back to a city under siege. I know you just want to talk shit, so it’s pointless to engage, but you’re being ridiculous.

What are you doing? You're either doing this really retarded and predictable thing of pretending to not understand things or you really are this stupid.
Go back and watch the Heavensward trailer, Answers, Shadowbringers. They have a specific tone and don't undermine it within the same trailer. Even Endwalker sticks to the tone it's trying to set.

Dawntrail has a different tone to the previous expansion trailers, they're trying to be more 'uplifting' and unserious however it isn't undermined with a dark brooding, world ending scene which would tone clash with the more 'fun' aspect of what Dawntrail's trailer was trying to do.

This Evercold latest trailer is trying to do too much and it absolutely is tone clashing. Take the first teaser trailer, it's setting up the tone as being series, Dark fantasy, with an existential threat.
The latest trailer undermines the seriousness of what the first trailer presented by now having a cutesy PG13 character and mascot, little wand and the change to softer female vocals.

No argument just insults, ok then you are what I previously accused you of.
This is getting boring now of 'hardcore' Final Fantasy fans, you'd think you'd grow out of making a single game series your personality or at the very least be able to understand criticism for what it is what you see it, instead of having this emotive reaction induced through you having an anxiety attack because someone dared to criticise this game series.
You do this every thread to deflect from what the original criticism is, you're hoping that if you keep insulting that it'll be forgotten in all the noise of what you're trying to create.

The kid in the trailer with the bird mascot and Amanda Achens vocals RUINS the tone and aesthetic of Evercold's trailer which is what is meant to get a person invested in the next expansion.

You literally resorted to screeching samefag because your post was retarded. Not everyone that thinks what you posted is dumb is the same person. You spent all of this time posting the exact same thing again with no clarification or amendment. There’s nothing else to say to you. You cannot fathom the concept of contrast as a device in media. Your assertion that the miqote could not possibly fit in the setting is also wrong. You are having a fit about a few seconds of levity before it resumes with a city under siege and being destroyed, followed by a giant looming over the burning city. You are comically absurd and have no interest in any kind of dialogue so I don’t know why you’re persisting. I was correct in my initial assumption that you were not worth engaging with and just want to find something to bait about. Take your final (You) and respond with whatever last word you want to take if you want.

I do agree to an extent. Being able to learn, apply information and be consistent are important skills that make you a good player too. The fact that world first players are the best and most autistic players does not necessarily diminish the ability to see a long fight to the end and be consistent. World first players are obviously better and yes, anyone who is boastful about an uwu clear in the last 6 years are retards. It’s a joke ultimate.

The Switch 2 version costs an extra $7 a month to play if you already have an active service account elsewhere. You have to buy the expansions and such again too like you had to do between the PS4/PC/Xbox versions.

The PS4/PS5 version is the only console version that isn't super cucked if you want to crossplay. Xbox requires you to be subbed to one of their Game Pass tiers because you need their online sub on top of the XIV sub and the Switch 2 version wants you to pay a separate monthly fee on top of the one you're paying for on PC.

Don't word first raiders have entire teams behind them, analysing footage and basically solving the fights for them?

Honestly, what makes high end XIV combat so unbearable to me is that the encounter design is so toxic that it makes your own team mates the worst part of the experience, which is absolutely antithetical to what an MMO should be imo. You should be happy to have others around you and you should be able to support each other, but none of that can happen when everyone just has to solve their own DDR puzzle.
>>
>>744580382
I agree completely. I just don’t think that it makes someone bad to have cleared with those training wheels. The only people who deserve some kind of respect are the autists that clear week 1, though doesn’t mean the dorks clearing later aren’t better on average that the vast majority of the player base. That said there are plenty of people who get there through war of attrition after thousands and thousands of pulls. Basically there’s a bit of nuance and levels to the concept.

Most of the time, ultimates in party finder is a fun experience because people do enjoy the experience of progging with others and puzzling things out. Almost all of the parties I’ve been in have been friendly and had plenty of fun together, who all wanted to stay in contact. The only time you get people being angry at team mates are when you run into someone hardstuck at a certain point at the fight and they’ll just end up leaving quickly. The only time I’ve ever actually enjoyed engaging with the community in the game is through raiding. Shit like limsa, balmung, etc are the real unbearable people. The people actually playing the game are the ones who aren’t faggots mostly.

In my experience, that’s definitely more of a savage reclear kind of thing months into the tier when only bad mindset players and autists are still going. Ultimates I think are mostly different because everyone comes into it understanding that it’s a marathon. Probably also because you know you’re going to see the same people if you’re keeping pace. When you hit clear attempts though, frustration creeps in on people.

HW being harder is a myth outside of gordias which was just badly balanced. Jobs were not that complex and fights were very simplistic overall. The people who wax romantic about heavensward weren’t there to begin with.
>>
>>744582409
Viking is a loaded term in 2026 chud. Next you will be asking for a job called H*tler
>>
>>744582416
HW still had aggro management, resource management and some pre combat group considerations. All of these are gone now because they really want XIV to be an action MMO for the younger generation who, according to SE, do not enjoy any of those elements since they make you rely on the rest of your group.
>>
>>744582416
Players were worse and there were less resources, that’s all there really is to it
>>
>>744582507
Aggro I agree with. I miss that aspect of the game. The difficulty of the game is overstated back then. Also I don’t miss tp at all. That was the worst thing about the game in its entire history.
>>
>>744582409
This is the kind of person who will accuse others of lacking imagination.
>>744582507
>>744582667
My bet is they removed aggro management less to help noob tanks and more to help noob dps/healers, who had a bit of a role to play in that instead of just going gung ho.
>>
>>744582507
Heavensward wasn't exactly critically acclaimed for its gameplay my nigga
>>
>>744582848
They removed aggro management because of tank anxiety. There was an actual undersupply of tanks at the time. Tanks got a lot of shit for not holding aggro and sometimes it wasn’t even their fault between black mages not using quelling strikes and healers spamming medica 2. It was pretty miserable when you did everything right and retards would not work with you then blamed you for it.
>>
>>744583000
Based trips.
Still, dps and healers being unable to do their proper job in not pulling too much aggro ended up fucking things up.
Nowadays there is the rare retard tank who will manage to die due to using no mits and the healer will still apologize on chat.
>>
>>744582409
Not every expansion going forward is going to be set in Frozen Viking Land retard. They class has to match whatever future locales they do that aren't cold snowy ones.
>>
>>744583203
Then why is Samurai a thing if not every expansion isn't Othard retard
>>
>>744582416
Jobs were way more complex, fights were simple but still had more meat to them besides half-cleaves, spread/stack, and dynamo/chariot. Thordan EX is an 11 year old fight and it still utterly mogs every EX that has come out after in terms of design.
>>
>>744582370
Shadowbringers 2.0*

Didn't happen in Japan, which is the only feedback the devs take into consideration

>>744576198
The game has a fucking 2.5 seconds GCD and none of the content is hard until you do Ultimates, there's retards on PC RIGHT NOW with 25 FPS getting carried
>>
>>744582370
It was barely there to begin with. I rolled my eyes at the NA reveal when the trailer was just begging players to remember SHB, it even had fucking Wardens.
>>
>>744583379
So why did they change it?
Nips thought holding aggro was too gay when tanks should be blue dps?
>>
>>744582409
When you think of Viking you think more of axes than a dual shield guy
>>
>>744581759
This relic set was pretty good but should have had more steps doing inside of OC
>>
>>744583436
Ultimates aren't that hard, just utterly time consuming. Like yeah there's a couple challenging mechs but you gotta waste 10 minutes every time to get to them
>>
>>744582667
>>744583000
It doesn't matter what they removed, it matters what they replaced it with. And it always has been
>less reaction time
>more mental load
And guess what, evolved will continue that. You have less buttons to press/no strict rotation to adhere to any more? Great, now have more mechanics! They even said they despise having to tutorialize mechanics and let the boss start slow with an AoE or tankbuster, so be fully prepared for shit to start with Limit Cut or Grand Cross.
The continued trend of harder fights will kill this game.
>>
>>744583379
Japan made the same complaints
You don’t know what you’re talking about
>>
>>744583578
Tanks got big axes, magic sword & shield, magic big sword, magic blade sword.
I don’t think they’re repeating any class with an off-hand shield althought BST seems to use axe & shield.
They had to go beyond for Bastion. I think monk tanks are lame but they’re a thing in rpgs for ages now. And these got dual shields with cannons, lowkey cool af.
>>
>>744583645

You CLEARLY did not play during HW.

I played religously from 2.0's closed beta through Endwalker. Jobs were way more complex in HW and have been getting dumbed down ever since.

Gordias was overtuned but Alexander Savage continued to have multiple complicated mechanics. The mechanics were more creative and unique too, its because of how complicated Alex was that everything devolved into generic "stack, spread, look away" markers in every expansion since (although Tsukuyomi had interesting mechanics in Stormblood, I'd like to see who designed her fight).

There is no question that jobs were at their most complex in HW. The real discussion is whether or not those classes played well. I love HW MNK and was eh on DRG and BLM. I didnt heal or tank back then so I dont have much to say about them other than AST was a great Job before it was ruined in subsequent expansions.
>>
>>744583645
That fight design wasn’t in the last tier of arcadion by the way, not that you would know
>>
>>744583645
What harder fights? They keep saying the fights are gonna get harder and then keep dumbing down everything so trusts and chocobos can do them. I'll believe it when I see it.
>>
>>744583835
>I didnt heal or tank back then
Healing was still very fun and engaging and a healer that could pace themself well, keep their MP up and be good at stance dancing was very welcome.

Tanks were a lot more fragile and funnily enough the role that was depending most on the rest of the team. Have a good healer that can keep you up, have DPS that didn't blast away mindlessly (or have a NIN) and a BRD/MCH that could help you with TP if things went on for too long.

I really don't think we should consider content for less than 5% of the playerbase relevant to these discussions.
>>
I fully expect the changes like evolved, the battlepass, killing relics/tome gear to go over like a fart in church when EC releases. As a result they will spend the next 2 years trying to unfuck and rebalance everything they fucked up, to appease the angry playerbase, and we'll get another patch cycle of nect to no content. They better hope to God that the MSQ isn't dogshit again because they are going into this this with almost no goodwill after DT.

This is FFXIV, not WoW. Addons aren’t bannable and are in fact encouraged by the developer. And unlike WoW, FFXIV allows you to do way more, like automate your rotation or shorten your GCD.

It absolutely was not, people cried their lungs out about sabotender valley and the carnival one. You know why? Because those two dungeons did not have to be weighed down by trusts. And then one month later the raid and weekly tomegear powercrept those dungeons so hard everyone got over it.

oh, and they weren't hard dungeons at all, maybe ARR-HW tier when they were relevant. Modern playerbase needs insane amount of handholding, plugins, etc to play an MMO that hates being an MMO.
>>

>>
>>744576747
You cant say anything that could get interpreted as even slightly critical so the playerbase has opted to dance around the issues in the most passive aggressive way and even then it depends on how mentally ill the reporter is and how the gm handling the report feels on that given day and hour. Bots, cheaters and duty afkers get ignored no matter what though.

>>
>>744584926
No. Especially since the story quests is required. Starting from zero sounds like the worst thing in the world
>>
>>744584708
20-30% savage participation is on the better end of MMO endgame desu. The only MMO adjacent game that had higher raid participation was Destiny and, for better or worse, Bungie did a much better job setting players up for endgame than any other company.
>>744584840
Sohm Al Hard was like 20 9/11s if you were a healer in 3.5.
>>
>>744584840
NTA but it was because jobs were harder. AKA enmity management existed and cleric stance was a thing. The skill cap for jobs was way higher back then, even melee not being able to sprint without losing all their TP made everything much harder for them.
>>
>>744585245
Sprint didn't exist in ARR or HW retard. It's a relatively very new skill.

>>744585371
The Jog debuff is new
Sprint lasting 20 seconds is new-ish
Sprint not emptying all your TP is older
Sprint has been around since ARR

These are the people who want yo convince you this games combat is its strongest point.

>>744585485
Yes, everyone knows the goal of FFXIV is too rush to endgame as quickly as possible. Endgame being to remember to log in once a month so your house doesn't get demolished.
>>
>>744584926
YMMV.
Skill learning is spread way too think as it is from lv1 to 100.
Even the lv1~50 experience, which used to be the majority of the game story time, is still a very watered down and shitty version of all jobs available.
Even worse if you get any later job and get sync'd down to 50, some of them literally have two buttons to press, plus role actions.
If you're going to play, maybe wait for EC since the overhaul will affect everyone, even f2p accs.

>>744585824
BLM, it isn't even close. VPR is second but you still have positionals and mechanic execution is harder in melee.

I do the raids, because it's content and the music and stories are often interesting (plus rewards) but anyone who unironically finds XIV raids to be the pinnable of gameplay experience has so many levels of mental illness I can't even fathom it.

The vast majority of people in North America play on PC, which is why virtually everyone uses plugins. The console version is merely an obligation to shareholders at this point who don’t know or care how the game is actually doing. The console version of FFXIV is like the Xbox version of TF2.
>>
>>744585824
SMN and you get a free healer out of it.
>>
>>744576447
You get all the previous Xpacks from buying the latest one only you dont need to re buy all the previous ones individually and they already made like first 2 and soon the 3rd one part of the free trial.
>>
>>744585995
Yeah, they removed everything that made BLM interesting. You can have something like 17 GCDs of no cast time if you really need to.
But it shows that the community will always go for the easiest Job (due to encounter design getting more and more convoluted). At the start of DT you saw absolutely no BLM anywhere and it was basically only PCT. Now BLM is way easier than PCT and its the default DPS job in most groups.

Actually he said 20%, which like I said is average for vast majority MMO endgames. It's good that they want to bump the numbers up I guess, but XIV is a coom and goon game and without raid buffs theres no reason for raiders to parselog their excel spreadslop.

>>744586170
They have data like this and still they release shit like FT:Blood, CodCAR, Quantum and fucking Criterion and barely any casual content. Why the fuck are they so obsessed with raid shit? Why are they talking about removing the last real way for casuals to work towards player power with removing the relic?
>>
>>744586296
Yeah, 14% for NA and 20% for JP. Whats not to get? 20% is in the range of average.
>>
>>744586331
Neverreap was fucking boring I hated getting it on my expert roulette back then
>>
>>744586458
So one realm (Mana) is the 20% average and the rest is far below (Crystal is like 5%). That averages out at... 15%.
>>
>>744586448
The MSQ and dungeons are the casual content. What more do you want? You guys already got island sanctuary and you hated that
>>
>>744586448
>barely any casual content.
90% of the game is casual content.

What the game really needs is proper (read: not criterion dungeons) midcore content. M+ rejuvenated WoW. FFXIV repeatedly tries and fails to do the same because Crystal Tools was never meant to be an MMO engine
>>
>>744576652
Why would they do that? Evolved sounds a lot better than the current button bloat mess we have.
>>
>>744586606
>muh midcore
Worthless nothingburger buzzword.
>>
>>744586724
That just means raids or dungeons with Ex Trial difficulty.

Personally for me Ex Trials are the perfect difficulty curve where its not to hard and not to easy and not to time consuming.
>>
>>744586704
No one will riot, people will just quit when they find out that Jobs have gotten more boring. Ignoring the High Jump for DRG (genuinely the only exciting thing Evolved showed) what changed for PLD, WHM or BRG?
Nothing.
Same Jobs, same skills, just buttons rolled into each other and less utility buttons. Which means grinding FATE or running DF stuff will feel even worse.

The only benefit this has it that it makes mapping your buttons easier on console and people don't need to learn an opener and spend time on a dummy.
>>
>>744586448
They should release a casual blood tower , casual magic tower is fucking great and a ton of people just go in each time it shows up
>>
>>744586953

>>
>>744584159
Not him, but there have been people who have found Xeno and his all his alt with less info.
>>
>>744586953
There's like 40 buttons to press for some classes at the moment. There is no reason for the 1-2-3 combo to be on 3 buttons instead of one (like GW2 did over a decade ago) and there's no reason for skills not to be contextual depending on the target selected.
>>
>>744587176
That's because Xeno made no real effort to hide that he was playing while banned
>>
>>744587227
If retards really care for that they can put the 1 button combo into 3 hotbar slots anyway.
>>
>>744582409
No one wants to be associated with Assassin's Creed Vahalla.
>>
>>744587227
At least with 123 you get the small feeling that you're performing a different action with each button press. Not looking forward to mashing 1 for 8 seconds to do my 123 combo
>>
>>744587330
oh wow that really justifies them taking up 3 slots.
>>
>>744587373
Kinda yeah? I never had an issue with keybinds because I'm not a shitter.
>>
>>744587330
Agreed. The last thing this game needed was a babbymode.
>>
>>744587330
I really feel bad for you if that makes you feel so alive.
But I wonder how will SE cope and backpedal if Evolved shitter mode gets a very bad reception. After DT they're not in a position to double down.
>>
>>744587435
Irrelevant. People don't like it and they're changing it.

Lucky for you though they still have clunky/shitty mode for most classes, so you can pretend to prefer it for a few weeks before you inevitably change.
>>
>>744587330
It doesn't matter what you do, that is the point of evolved. Streamline Jobs so you don't need to put any mental capacity to them any more.

All that matters is what the boss does. So yeah, dungeons trash will feel even more boring and uninspired and come the next expansion they will drop that as well and dungeons are just 3 back to back bosses.

Except thats where the fun is. Handling the mental capacity of performing the job's rotation while doing mechanics. You cant just have one and not the other in these WoW style MMOs because then it's not engaging.

With FFXIV and WoW dumping everything down like this is probably what finally gets me to step away from these kinds of MMOs.
>>
>>744587676
Awesome. Since they also remove navigation and movement from the overworld, how about we have each MSQ be a 2 hour movie and after that you have the choice to do savage or log out? I feel that would be your favourite way of engaging with the game.

By the way, did you ever try Rabbit and Steel? It has none of the nasty shit like trash mobs, mandatory story or overworld shit, just pure DDR combat.

FF3 Viking (at least the 3D remake version of the game) is a defensive job that can provoke enemies to hit itself, and can equip hammers and axes as weapons... but you can also make it wield shields on both hands for extra defense. Seems a pretty clear throughline to Bastion, combined with the existing FF14 gunshield aesthetic some Garlean fags had.

It's just a problem with shut-in weirdos who are too afraid of being held responsible for leading the fight, for leading a team of people, for controlling a team.
It's not 'tank anxiety' it's 'I'm a fuck up with no real life skills interacting and leading people' anxiety.

People don't get into savage because it demands time and coordination. You will ever rarely just get a PuG and have it work if people who rarely or never do savage apply for the party finder.

Because it's a shit system that doesn't work with the way job are designed. It's insane that a stat that can be forced upon you can literally break the way your entire rotation works. If you overcap on say, Direct Hit, you're not really punished. But if you get tiered into a bad GCD for your job you're just fucked, shit desyncs and you now have to work around that and know to compensate specifically for that GCD timing, which no normal player would ever how to.
The fact that they still don't understand that and haven't removed it altogether is all the proof I need they're going to botch the job redesigns in EC.

Why can’t Square Enix release an official version for Switch 2?

Addons are great, but your post is like railing against console versions in general. There are lots of prog groups in Japan that play console. There are prog groups that play across multiple devices in the English speaking world. As long as you aren't try to do a world first, there's no problem playing on the Switch version.
>>744586009
>virtually everyone uses plugins
...for stuff like gpose and parsing. Most people aren't even doing high level content. At most, you're losing access to consistent parsing, but if you're in a raid group with a discord, you can just ask another person to share their parser output with you.
>console version of FFXIV is like the Xbox version of TF2
Most super serious players I know actually play the game across multiple devices. The Switch 2 version will be best for dailies, DoL/DoH grinds, story, and savage. The fact that it may not be *optimal* for Ultimates barely factors into the equation, especially because most Ultimate raid groups aren't even trying to break records.

Virtually everyone in the NA community uses plugins. Not only are you missing out on optimal rotations and callouts, but you’re basically missing half of the social experience by not having mod sync or aetherphone. No one’s going to be your friend. Also,

Switch 2 doesn’t even have Discord VC. How are you supposed to be on a call? Your phone? Putting that shit on speakerphone? At least PS5 has built in calls so at least the game is somewhat playable.

>>
>>744611370
>Virtually everyone in the NA community uses plugins.
For gpose and cosmetics. Yes, also parsing, but "everyone" here barely means anything because high level raid content is niche. If you're trying to make a quality assessment on a port here, then you've got to talk about the content people actually do.
>Not only are you missing out on optimal rotations and callouts
This is relevant to world first groups, not prog groups. EVEN among the Ultimate raiders, many groups are doing progs based off of guides on youtube, not rehearsing for WF.
>you’re basically missing half of the social experience by not having mod sync or aetherphone
This is absolutely not true, especially if you have friends to play with already. I have always used discord to keep up with my friends and acquaintances in-game. Social media updates can stay on my IRL phone
>Switch 2 doesn’t even have Discord VC
...and?
>How are you supposed to be on a call? Your phone? Putting that shit on speakerphone?
Sure, phone, desktop, anything. This is like any other console version. People use discord effectively for everything in FFXIV, especially for serious raids. If that group wants you to use the PC version for parity, then that's literally a use case for < 1% of the actual game population, much less raiding. The whole point of the Switch 2 version is that it's FFXIV handheld, which gets you through 90% of the content with no compromise, 9% with some compromise, and then 1% is left to the table (oh no, I can't check if I'm orange parsing Alex and Kefka, the horror)

>Can anyone give me the QRD on plugins? They're like 14's weakauras?
Nothing as powerful as weak auras, but basically unlike WoW, FFXIV has explicit telegraphs for all of its boss mechs. People use plugins to make things easier and offload mental load
>dot in the middle of the screen
>script to call out a boss mech (it's already on timer in the screen
>PRESS THIS BUTTON INSTEAD TO DRIFT YOUR ROTO
the reason the conversation veers into cheating is because FFXIV is designed around being transparent about mechanics, and the addons that got WF a couple years ago blatantly undermined that. Contrast with DBM suite in WoW, where it's not even clear what's going on in-game without the addon telling you what to do, and even then Blizz has been trying to fix this.

>>744586402
it's a little lacking imo but it's still fine and you can still do whacky stuff. the job's rotation has ALWAYS been easy, it's the fact that you can't do the rotation while moving that makes it tricky. modern blm has lots of tools for movement but you still need to know when you need them and when you can use them for damage or whatever.

If you really want all those mounts then go for it but if you're not no lifing, you might make those costs back up with the monthly fees.

There is no way they don't mess this up. Either half of the jobs are going to play like garbage or a bunch of jobs are going to feel like copy-pasted design within roles
>>
>>744615375
Another important aspect that I have been thinking about, I won't be able to use the mounts UNTIL I finish the previous expansions right? Because you can't just use a Mount until like level 60 right? Or am I replacing memories from another mmorpg lol?
>>
>>744615574
sorry sweety this has been debunked. the game is saved, luckybancho chart (which is now ACCURATE way to count subs) is showing a slight increase so the game is saved, you just have to give yoshi a chance you doomer
>>
>>744615574
yes, that why the talked about reborn mode, they will fuck with evolve the whole 8.x patch circle until they find something comfortable or that people like
>>
>>744615703
You unlock mounts at level 20. Level 60 was epic riding in vanilla WoW.
>>
>>744615814
>WoW mounts
Oh yea, you're right, I was confusing it with Project Epoch mounts. So I can use every mount at level 20, no matter from what expansion the mount is from? Excuse my ignorance and thank you so much for taking the time to teply.
>>
>>744615574
the fact that they described main tank and off tank as "main tank has defensive capabilities" and "offtank has stuff to help the party" and then showed off pld having all the same party mitigation and utility it has currently and saying bastion will also have all that idk how the fuck this is gonna unhomogenize tanks and healers which have got it the worst.
>>
>>744615759
They're stripping raid buffs from Reborn mode regardless, so they're going to have to give rDPS jobs something to compensate and of course there's no way they nail the balancing on the first try. I have a feeling job balance is going to be completely screwed although I suppose this won't be the first time it's happened and it won't be the end of the world, but with literally ALL jobs getting a rework (BLU doesn't count) I feel like the issue will compound itself

>>744616261
I'm really curious what they're going to do with OT/barrier healer but of course they refuse to show that either
>>
>>744616171
You can't fly until near the end of the X.0 MSQ for each expansion. You can still use it for ground travel
>>
>>744616261
Unless they show an offtank I have no idea what that split would mean.
Yeah, PLD got a reaction parry/counter whatever it's called by getting hit and you need aggro to get hit more often but that isn't exactly a new thing in FF14.
>>
>>744616171
I'm 99.9% sure you can use any mount once you unlock them at level 20. I've never bought any of the CEs so I'm unsure of how cool the mounts from them are but imo Demi-Ozma is still peak. Getting him requires a bunch of effort from the 3rd expansion(and can be gotten while on the free trial). You have to do a zone inspired by FFXI to get him, but if you like old MMOs you might be interested in it. Here's the mount, in changes forms based on if you're flying/on land/ in water:

I hope that since it’s apparently the one dude doing Evolved, that he’s figured out how to keep them relatively balanced but still distinct. Will just have to wait and see I guess, though I do really wish they had shown more at EU fanfest
>>
>>744615297
it depends. Are you just doing roulettes? Machinist. Pretty fixed rotation, no RNG involved, damage output is... ok. Doing high-end content? Bard. Why? 3 words: Party. Wide. Buffs. (And also higher damage output than MCH. They got a slight buff in 7.3 but it isn't enough to put them in league in BRD)
>>
>>744578270
>Even Endwalker sticks to the tone it's trying to set.
>The latest trailer undermines the seriousness of what the first trailer presented by now having a cutesy PG13 character and mascot, little wand and the change to softer female vocals.
your song of hope does what again?
>>
>>744617364
Machinist is such a cucked class, man. It has Deep Dungeons going for it and that's about it. Fun rotation, cool aesthetic, but the damage is always behind the other physical ranged DPS because it can't buff.

xiv is a crafting game that is why they are adding it to switch2

xiv is a story game second

combat is third, an afterthought
>>
>baaaaaw the Switch 2 is holding back graphics
No it's the rendering pipeline. FFXIV will always look at iteratively better with some better armor layering, but fundamental model complexity won't change much until the next FF MMO. XIV has always valued stability
>>
>>744618491
Why would combat be worse on Switch 2 than any other console release? It runs at 60 FPS for all conventional content except alliance raids. Even ultimates and savages target 60.

These games being 30fps is due to lack of developer skill. Xenoblade 2 is way more demanding and runs at 60fps because Monolith are more talented than Square Enix. Honestly that's a 2017 game and it makes FF Rebirth look like a joke still.

I guess it was better than just "grats, you've reached the next content patch, here's your new relic for 1500 tomes" without any work needed.
Still feels lacking compared to Shadowbringers and Stormblood which required you to be involved in Eureka/Bozja. The DT relic never once required you to be in South/North horn.

>>744624230
