How are tendies enjoying the game so far?

I asked this before but nobody replied to me: Are salarymen allowed to play on their bingwahoo machine during their commute? What about during their forced unpaid overtime drinks with the boss.

Commute yes but many are sleeping.
Drink time? No unless the boss is somehow also cool and playing which he probably isn't.

>>744655302
The xbox and Switch versions have some weird shit where you need to buy coins to pay for your sub instead of just having a regular monthly sub like the PC and PS versions do. I don't think you need a Nintendo Online sub though, just the extra Switch version sub.
>>
>>744654239
>How are tendies enjoying the game so far?
I really don't get this. There's no way people don't have a fucking PC along with their switch. Nobody should be getting into this game just because it got a switch version that is absurd.

Does this make the Switch 2 the most expensive console in history? No other system requires you to own a separate PC, not even the Steam Deck.
>>
>>744663418
This is meant for japs playing on PS4 but don't want to buy a PS5. Switch 2 is selling like hotcakes there, and the PS5 sales have dropped massively there
So they feel like people who are still holding onto a PS4 already have, or at the very least are more likely to get a Switch 2 over a PS5
They are dropping the PS4 soon

No hablas ingles? You’re saying the Switch 2 is on par with a PS4. Why did both of those companies not make their Switch 2 games on the PS4? Why did they lose catastrophic amounts of money dropping the PS4 for no reason if they had the capacity to support it all along? The Switch 2 is on par with a PS4, right?

Wait, it's already out? And I can't play for free?
I do have regular NSO if that matters. I wanted to try this game since I don't have a PC to play it but if it needs another subscription I won't be bothering.
>>
>>744669227
it doesn't require NSO, but it does need a sub
As a matter of fact, the sub is separate from the normal FFXIV sub, so if you have a sub on PC, for example, you need to play 7 bucks extra to play it on Switch (which is not a problem with the other console versions as far as I'm aware)
>>
>>744669227
As long as you don't buy anything you can play up to lv80 content for free (110 is the highest right now)
>>
>>744669227
you can play the free trial, it lasts forever and has the base game + 3 expansions
>>

>it doesn't require NSO, but it does need a sub
>>744669493
>As long as you don't buy anything you can play up to lv80 content for free (110 is the highest right now)
These 2 answers contradict themselves.
>>744669601
So I'm guessing this is the answer I'm looking for. I just want to play for free and won't be buying anything. Will try to download later then thanks.
>>
>>744669829
they don't contradict themselves
the free trial doesn't need a sub or anything, but as soon as you buy anything, the free trial is over, and you can't go back to playing without a sub, can't even play the content that's part of the free trial
>>
>>744669829
the free trial is like 120gb ish so hope you got some space

I play a Hrothgar and have since early Shadowbringers. I love being a Hroth, and I don’t see myself fanta’ing away anytime soon. That said, there’s something of a problem. Other Hrothgar (and occasionally Viera and Roes) will walk up and use the pet emote on my character. I know that this is something of a community thing with Hrothgar players but I find it really off putting when it’s done to me.
Nobody ever asks and while it’s just an avatar I don’t like being touched without permission. I especially don’t like the assumption that just because I play a Hrothgar I must be implicitly giving consent to be touched.
>>
>>744654541
and you will need more in 5 months because of the new expansion

Damn that's dumb as fuck. Won't be buying anything so not a problem. Besides I'll be playing for the first time so I may not even like the game I will endure it anyway for the Lalas.

I'm so fucking surprised, even amazed at how I can play with less than 100 ping even when my wifi router is far away, this is the first time ever on my Switch 2 when I don't have to do anything tedious, I can just turn the console on while handheld and just play it, it's fucking great. The game runs amazing, I have constant stable 60 fps (started in Gardania or whatever the name of that town is) and I already made one friend just for healing him. The only (and this is more of a personal thing) downside is that I had to make a completely new account for the free trial even though I had once since 2015. I mean I could technically log in to the 2015 one buy a paying edition for it, but that would mean repeating the same early levels, and that's a no from me. Overall, 10/10 and I'm using a guy with horns that wasn't before back in those days, so he looks cool as fuck. The best thing though, is the wifi shit, no disconnection or anything, fuck so good.

go to point A
Long fucking cutscenes with a fight in-between
Another boring cutscenes
then point B
Cutscenes
then back to point A to get another cutscene

The world is in sections with a ton of loading screens

The cast are boring so far, and this fucking cat girl barely does anything, unlike this blonde Ninja(?) guy, he's okay.

Where is the MMO part of this so called MMO, I was told that this was good, but I just don't see it.

That's the whole game. ARR and its patches are a huge slog even after they trimmed a lot of the fat off.

>>744654239
Wasn't there supposed to be like a free period or beta or something for the Switch 2 version? I don't wanna drop $40+ on it just to see if I like it or not on handheld / docked compared to PC.

So there's more of this repetitive gameplay loop? People told me that this was one of the best FF games in recent time, but that's starting to sound like bullshit or I have way too high an expectation.
>>
>>744665487
Is it true the fastest way to level up phantom jobs is by just focusing on Fates in North Horn? Or is there a better way to go about it?
>>
>>744673469
yes, the free period started today , you have to download that specific version on their e-shop, it's the one that doesn't have any $$$ and just says download
>>
>>744673498
>Well if it's not an MMO then what's it supposed to be?
it's a visual novel with rpg elements
>>
>>744673540
NTA, but from what I've experienced, it seems pretty quick to lvl them in north horn, definitely with the CEs.
>>
>>744663662
Aren't the coins used so that they are purchased on the storefront and Nintendo and Microsoft can take a 30% cut? It's greedy from Microsoft and Nintendo and to be fair Sony probably only doesn't require it because they were bffs with Square at the time and were doing them a solid.
>>
>>744673559
btw if you already used up a trial on an account you have to make a complete new account or else you won't be able to play the free version and this is important because right now there's a discount for the Complete Collector's Edition until August 8th, so you can either buy that for your old account, or make a new account, play the trial and then buy it on the 8th before the discount (actually what I'm planning on doing)
>>
>>744673540
CEs are being sandbagged by people without gear, phantom job masteries and skill (them getting rezzed with rez sickness kills their output), in my experience just doing FATEs is the fastest way to get phantom job exp.

FTM also gives 2880 exp for doing the 4 fights, which is better than CEs but i've had runs that finish in 20, and runs that finish in 45. count your phantom job masteries with your other forkers. if you don't see a lot of +15 its probably best to skip
>>
>>744672767
You got memed hard, 300h of the game are those non voiced cutscenes.
The gameplay of your class won't get better until 60+, it will flow nicely at 80+.
The only "fun" part are the dungeon and raid but those are in between 3h of cutscenes, bosses will start having mechanics after 60+

This is the first game on the Switch 2 to actually get heaps of praise from /v/. This has been an anti-tendie board for a long time. What the fuck happened? Is the FFXIV cult so strong that it turned the Switch 2 around?

Nintendo's eshop just uses money, anon.
>>
>>744673772
I'm Legacy Account, so I was under the impression that there was going to be a free test period for people that already owned the game to try it out on Switch 2 before buying it for like a month or something, but this sounds like I'd need a completely different account without the game on it to do the usual free trial up to Shadowbringers 5.5? No idea, just downloading it now since the website eshop wasn't working all day but seems the actual one on the Switch 2 is letting me install it now.
>>
>>744675204
well. i tried to play with my 2015 account on the switch 2 and it said error you need to buy the game, even though i downloaded the free version so i said fuck it and just made a completely new account and that's what I'm playing now, idk
>>
>>744675069
The Switch 2 version needs FF14 coins bought via the shop instead of being directly from Square. It's so Nintendo can take a cut of the sub fees. Those coins are also only sold in fixed packages so you can't directly buy 1300 coins, you're forced to overpay like gacha bundles and you'll have leftover coins in your account.

You can see it here(ctrl+f Switch), you have to pay $15 a month instead of $13 on Switch 2/Xbox

>>
>>744673863
I only have like 4 mastered right now and was considering getting the lower exp ones since I know the North Horn jobs actually take more exp to master, but North horn gives better exp overall. I kind of feel like this content is gonna be really dead once 8.0+ hits since you can't level other jobs in it and the novelty is probably going to wear off fast.

I'm guessing I wanna get a full set of gear for in there eventually as well as accessories, or will just mastering jobs make up for it over time? It's like 4k silver per piece and not sure if I should go with tank or something else, as I was going for healer in South Horn for that Time Mage glam and finding it easier to stay alive with my own heals. I wouldn't mind that GEO glam from North Horn eventually, as well.

>>744675634
Huh. That kind of sucks. I figured it'd be like $20 a month to play on PC as well as Switch 2, but I could use that money for retainers and the mobile app for that retainer as well as saddle bag space instead. Decisions, decisions.

FFXIV is such a special game. It’s the only game that gets unconditional praise for being on a Nintendo system. All the usual anti-tendie schizos run scared when FFXIV is involved. The cult is just that powerful. And now every reviewer is heaping praise on the “silky smooth” 20-40 FPS and the “razor sharp” 720p. FFXIV is very unique.

>>

You should treat FF14 as a visual novel until you hit end game. I mean you CAN just skip all the cutscenes but the cutscenes get pretty fucking good in Shadowbringers so it's a bit of a waste.

bought it because it wouldnt let me do the trial since I had already done it on PC and 41 bucks for everytbing felt reasonable.

FFXIV is the only game on Switch 2 that has deranged cultists coming out of the woodwork to defend it. Every other game gets either reasonable, level-headed praise or some schizo shitting on it. FFXIV is the opposite. It’s nothing but deeply fanatical blind praise disregarding any facts about the performance on the Switch 2.

Why is the FFXIV player base so mentally ill?

Nearly everyone says it’s a stable 60 FPS in the overworld and some cities on handheld and docked. I have not been able to get 60 FPS anywhere, including docked. It runs at maybe 30, but seems like below 30 when doing actions with a striking dummy. Render resolution is below 1080p in docked and handheld. Lots of shimmering and low view distance. This is easily the worst looking Switch 2 game I’ve seen, and is on par with a Switch 1 game in terms of frame rate and resolution.

That said, it’s FFXIV, so you will have cultists getting angry when you point this out.

Needing a 2nd sub just for Nintendo is weird. I don't understand it from a technical standpoint. Financial it's obvious but Nintendo has never pulled this before. It's like requiring NSO to be online and then a 2nd sub for Mario Kart specifically.

The genuine truth is that vast majority of modern XIV players (2020 onwards) are fans of the community first and foremost. It doesn't matter if the game is in a bad spot or good spot, they are there to talk to others in the fandom. It's why so many people people are told to share their MSQ progress because these types of people want to constantly relive when they first played the game and others reacted to them going through key moments like Sands getting massacred, Banquet, Vault, etc.

Well it was never really good, had its moments, but the "great community btw" was always meant to be ironic because the passive aggressive pests always outnumbered the decent players. However, since SHB/covid the community has warped into something resembling tumblr-era undertale fanbase.

The same reason you need to buy the coins from the eshop and spend more money than elsewhere, Nintendo is greedy and wants their cut.

I think it's pretty obvious why Genshin never ended up on Switch now, Nintendo wanted too much of a cut.

They'll cancel this like they did the chinese phonegame. They're experiencing the same thing another developer I like the games of with desperately trying to find new fans or a new niche. Eventually - hopefully - Square and CBU3 just understands you have the fans you deserve not the fans you want.

My guess is Nintendo is willing to pay for this more than Square, because I can't see the profitability of the venture for square.

The SD card will always load slower than internal storage regardless, for anyone planning to playing it long term you should absolutely have it on the internal SSD. It's just basic gaming logic, you'd keep the main games you were playing on the SSD over your HDD back when people still had a mix of both.

I just want to say that Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Switch 2 upgrade pack and also Zelda Tears of the Kingdom upgrade pack have 1000% better graphics than this, or Final Fantasy 7 Remake/Rebirth, and yet the games run at 60fps. The reason why Square Enix can't get their games running at 60fps is due to lack of genuine developer skill. They aren't as skilled at making video games as Monolith soft are, certainly not with open worlds. Xenoblade 2 makes FF Rebirth especially look like a sad joke.

Funny enough, Switch 2 has load times as bad as the PS4 release, even worse in some cases. Despite the game being on fast flash storage compared to PS4's 5400rpm drive.

>>744688815
Because the PS5 client files are actually compressed. They can't do it for PC as well due to supporting toasters. Most they could do is repackage their audio using more modern codecs to shrink the filesize some, and offer the means of installing voice languages separately, since I don't need EN/FR/DE.

The rejoining situation is very reasonable honestly. We eliminated the two entities who were keeping an unnatural system afloat. Either the sundered worlds had achieved a kind of stability and we would not have to worry about it, or the system was kept in check only by two planetary godlike entities and now it's crisis mode. I like the questions it makes you consider and the applicability of it to similar lifeboat ethics situations. Not to mention what were the options going forward?

>1) Introduce a newer bigger badder evil
WOW's strategy is tedious. Ultima out there or Lavos beneath the planet is the only ones I'd tolerate and these can still work here. Otherwise you'd be having dogshit like Allag's Zeon showing up or interdimensional invaders not from other shards but rather totally unrelated worlds.
>2) Source is fucked (Da noise + snake story in endwalker crafting) and we have to rejoin, we're ascians now

I guess only other ones was one I'd have been happy with, Sengoku Jidai in Hingashi or successor wars in Ilsabard but either would limit you to a single expansion, and they can easily deviate at least with the former by having it be a future expansion. Easy to imagine the winterer in shard X deciding to try and fuck with the scions by preciptating a calamity based in Hingashi, and macguffin prevents us from reaching (beyond maybe 1-2 zones and/or side content) the shard being rejoined. So we have to try and stabilize things mostly in Hingashi instead.

It was pure kino as a duty though, and I appreciate all the attempts at variety Endwalker is trying to introduce with it's quests and shit, like the escort missions and the stealth segments.

Since PC portables have been a thing since 2021, I don't see why anyone would bother with buying and paying for what is a lesser version of the same thing and what frustrates me even more is that just after we manage to get rid of the ancient PS4 version of the game (which was holding it back massively) we'll now be stuck with the exact same limitations again.

SE could (and should) have just ported the game to modern smart phones instead, I could see that actually working out well for everyone involved, instead they decided to port the game to an under powered toy and pay some chinks to make a slightly worse version of 2.0 for mobile instead.

Can a smarter anon explain how ilvl stuff works in OC South Horn / North Horn to me? South Horn gear is ilvl 745 but it syncs to like 690, while North Horn gear is 780 but syncs to 700.

I see that I can trade in +1 or even +2 gear from South Horn to North Horn gear to bypass grinding it, but it loses on the bonus attributes and all, so wouldn't the upgraded South Horn gear be better than basic North Horn? And does weapon ilvl even matter in either of these OC instances? I'm just using the free AF weapons from the story at ilvl 690 right now.

>I see that I can trade in +1 or even +2 gear from South Horn to North Horn gear to bypass grinding it, but it loses on the bonus attributes and all, so wouldn't the upgraded South Horn gear be better than basic North Horn?
South Horn trades in 1:1 for North Horn gear as far as the bonus attribute goes, which is the important stat. And then North Horn can get to +4 bonus attribute per piece as opposed to South Horn's +3 max.
>And does weapon ilvl even matter in either of these OC instances?
This I don't know. There are skills that say their power scales to item level, but item level is synced in there. So I have no idea how that works.

The game was always just a glorified Visual Novel with a bit of walking between each cutscene and a few mandatory dungeons at certain levels. You either are in it for the story and world building or you might as well quit if you already dislike the "gameplay" loop because this is exactly what you're going to be doing until the end of it.

They did, only in China IIRC and in usual SE fashion, it's already EoS'd.

You visit every town and start doing dungeons at around level 20 IIRC

You have at least two months before the poopsockers reach current content since they can't bot their way through the story.

They can't buy skips?

>>744729842
they can, but it's not like the majority of players are going to use that, i'm pretty sure the majority of sales from skips are for alts.

Why is the FFXIV community so toxic? I thought it was super duper sweet and friendly to new players unlike WoW?

>FFXIV now requires NSO
So you’re saying Square Enix and Nintendo have been lying to everyone? Isn’t that fraud?
>Switch 2 now has Discord integration, or FFXIV now has voice chat without plugins
This is a major development. Why didn’t they include this in the patch notes?
>the system built-in mic has just been disabled
And it’s already a wasted effort. Why would FFXIV/Nintendo integrate voice chat while also requiring an external mic?
>joycons are now banned
Today’s headlines just keep coming. Is this the most newsworthy day in the Switch 2’s life cycle?

isn't that irrelevant when your roulettes can give you any of the old content provided you've unlocked it
