            its been this way since 2.0 where paladin was the "actual mitigation" tank and war was the "just heal yourself a lot bro" tank and also holmgang literally did nothing but chain up 1 enemy so the community essentially softbanned you from playing warrior in the harder content and 2.x patches made warrior more like paladin
            in HW pld players wanted to be homogenized because the idea of them being the anti physical damage tank ended up being moronic and useless because every single fight was all about magic damage that anti magic drk and generalist war dealt with better, so they made mitigation more universal
            in STB paladin was actually the first tank to get the "do 1 gcd a lot after hitting this buff" move with requiescat, inner release and delirium did some weird shit instead so over the course of stormblood/shadowbringers they made these two moves also ver binary "hit this, then spam this" attacks because people were annoyed they had some weird shit
            in shadowbringers after years of people complaining about how some tanks dealt with aoe pulls way more smoothly then others and how people were genuinely upset if they got a roulette with the "wrong" tank because now their run is going to be more clunky/harder - they gave every tank a very universal 1-2 aoe combo. after years of people saying its unfair that warrior gets to basically ignore all the downsides of tank/dps stance dancing while pld/drk got really fricked for not being in dps stance as often as possible they also simplified/generalized this mechanic as well
            tank players spent all of shadowbringers jerking off TBN, so in endwalker they gave every tank tbn. they also got really excited about how gnashing fang makes gnb "a dps in a trenchcoat, not a tank" so now in dawntrail every tank is getting gnashing fang to do a special 123 combo of distinct gcds instead of just spamming 1 because they've been copying requiescat for so long they've gotten bored of that and want a new toy to play with.

                from 4.2 and onward, but before that they kept adjusting it. it cost best to enter, then it didn't. it briefly worked as the dps stance equivalent of unchained and it only cut beast gauge cost in half and didn't have auto crit/direct hits.

                meanwhile req on paladin since 4.0 was just an ogcd that then made your spells do a lot more damage

            tank is unironically too important of a role given how mmos like this are designed.

            if there's no enrage tank/healer can beat the fight
            if the damage isn't too high tank/dps can kill the enemies before the tank runs out of tankiness
            the healer/dps only group will just die unless they're extreme god gamers that can perfectly coordinate everything because they take 1/4th their lifebar every second

            because of this, if tank X has something that is really good and tank Y has something that isn't useful in the situation you find yourself in, everyone is now kind of mad that tank Y is here instead of tank X making everyones life easier. in games where tanks aren't as homogenized like ff11 or classic wow or everquest you find that the community basically prevents you from using any tank but the best one because nobody wants to hope a stranger is actually the main character from an isekai anime and can make the suboptimal class work because he's a gamer god - they just want to get their quest/raid done

            those are the three animations that actually look good

            I don't hate it, but I find it funny when there's a mix of simple old style animations vs current stylistic ones (which has way more particle effects).
            I've been Monk since it first became a thing in 1.21, and it's funny that I said that, because IIRC Dragon Kick's animation in 1.0 was a big deal.Before then, the animation focus was realistic mocap actions. So no anime flips and shit.

              monk actually being a mixed martial artist combining pugilism with monk stuff is explicit class lore so I appreciate the devs not throwing it all away like how dragoon is probably going to lose literally every lancer move by level cap for a new move

              I do like bootshine but I can respct wanting to replace the move that does the majority of your damage to no longer be the level 1 arr animation you've been hitting for your entire career

                the monk quest unironically makes more sense post rework then it did before. learning the earth/wind/fire stances as a pug always felt kinda oddly mystical/monk-like so harman teaching you steel peak instead checks out (and getting chakra at level 15 instead of 52 is really nice) + the entire hw questline about the 14 chakra actually kind of means anything now because 5 chakra on the job gauge + 9 beast chakra from masterful blitz is actually 14 now
                [...]
                steel peak is all about slamming into stuff with your whole body usiing your shoulder as the focal point and is the devs localization of a move called tetsuzanko/iron mountian. you need to have a lot of endurance to pull this off without just hurting yourself and it keeps the same earth/stone/solidarity without it being "uhh if you pose like this you magically take less damage"

                Very cool. Ok, I stand corrected.

        those are taken from ActionIndirect.csv files, these are actions that can be used with same hotbar icon. e.g., Fell Cleave turns into Inner Chaos after using Infuriate. this info can still be valid but it is a known fact that benchmarks could be an earlier build than the one people will see in May's Media Tour: some of this info might be true and other might be old and has changed already.

      what did BLM get

      Flare<>Freeze, Fire IV<>Blizzard IV and Despair<>Umbral Soul now share the binds and re available depending on your phase
      Thunder 3 and 4 just get trait upgrades
      There is an action that becomes available after pressing Ley Lines, we don't know what it is (it's not BTL)
      There is a whole new job gauge section we don't know anything about as well as possible actions that aren't included in this because it's just a table of actions that have some sort of replacement/upgrade mechanism, nothing more.

      Ley Lines turns in to some other button
      B4/F4 now share a button which changes based on element
      Freeze/Flare same
      Umbral Soul/Despair same

      So ice phase muscle memory is fricked but it takes less hotbar space

      >just shitty potency upgrades
      looking grim for this expac.

      Don't despair yet, there's apparently a new gauge. And new actions aren't listed.

      God I fricking hate this game and regret letting the new visuals get me excited after how trash Endwalker was. Actually, I'm not sure what I hate more, the game and the idiot developers dumbing things down every expansion, or the dumbfricks on the forums and other places begging them to dumb it down.

      I was already annoyed that they dumbed BLM down even more in Endwalker by giving you a gorillion fricking years to use firestarter and thundercloud. The second charge of Triplecast would've pissed me off more if it wasn't for them very obviously making encounter designs even more moronic as well.

      They keep shitting up the job gameplay to try to force their shitty jump rope body check shitfest fights like Ultimates and it's making the entirety of the rest of the game and it's combat suffer so much for a few shitty fights that most morons use mods for anyway because they're stupidly designed in the first place.

      Body checks are shit design and artificial difficulty made to suck up as much of your time as possible because of lost progress when OTHER people frick up forcing you to do the stupid 15 minute choreographed routine all over again each time despite not taking any actual real skill because it's just a memorization bodycheck shitfest.

      FRICK.

      I'm so glad I got back into fighting games instead of continuing to waste my time on this stupid shit.

        High-end fights feel like kpop choreography. I really just don't like how this game is doubling-down on encounters being a theater program you follow.

          final fantasy combat has always been a theater program. the entire reason why it did the enemies on the left party on the right design in the first few games instead of the first person that rpgs in the 80s were usually doing is because the devs were inspired by stage plays and wanted a similar look to their fights

    >Almost zero multiplayer elements avaliable, you can't use the shop, you can't form parties, zero chat etc
    In fairness, those specific criticisms are because of the free trial. Free trial players don't get those things to minimize the issues caused by bots

    In broader strokes though, the issues you are describing are still at play, even when you have the full game.
    >forming a party is basically only done if you are doing Savage content or hunt trains on the open world, otherwise everything is instanced or uses party finder so there is zero need to go out and socialize
    >functionally leveling up is just a solo jrpg experience occasionally interspersed with pseudo-multiplayer elements like "you have to go do this dungeon" and then you will just fire up party finder, be put in a party with a bunch of gays you will never see or meet again, go through a monotonous tunnel dungeon with nearly the exact same formula (run forward, fight two groups of mobs, fight miniboss, repeat until the miniboss is a boss)
    >the market is completely broken by legal botting (retainers) so there's basically no way to make money via the market between patches that unlock new materials and craft able gear because the prices get driven so low
    I could go on. The game does everything it can to minimize the MMO aspect of the game. Walk in expecting a single player jrpg that you pay a monthly fee for, because that's exactly what it is

        With stuff like Ley Lines and apparently Adloquium and Succor getting upgrades I think we probably are due for neater effects. Yoshida placed emphasis on "shaking things up" and stuff like giving back Tenka Goken's cone (on that upgraded version, at least) is in line with that.

                I agree, but setting and story are two different things, in my opinion. The story has always been stupid, even in WCIII. However the setting was serviceable, it was enough to get immersed if you so desired, and that's all it needed. But now it's them inserting real-life shit and injecting current-day politics into the game and going

      I liked bloodspiller more after I modded it so the damage number pops as you actually land on them and the pillar explosion happens instead of way before.

      for some reason half the moves in this game just have totally moronic damage number placement that makes them feel like they have no impact. half the reason people love fell cleave is because the big crit number is perfectly synced with the apex of the impact but then with other moves they just go "ah frick it, just have the number play way before the lengthy animation finishes" despite it being such an easy fix that me fricking around with mod tools can just increase a single numerical value and make it look 100% better

                Not necessarily. The ability of Raise/Ressurection effects basically yanks a body back to life before the soul has left to go to the lifestream, where the body literally cannot be brought back by any means. There's a marked difference between someone who is on death's door and their body is expiring from a corpse who was killed a while ago, and the casting windup lorewise is in an extremely tight window to catch them before they're gone AND they need to be powerful of body for it to actually be fast enough to get to them.
                >You should also be able to give someone the ability to walk
                While I agree with you here, I think the bigger issue is that Arenvald was given a shitty wheelchair instead of some magitek device to float around in, or maybe even just a walker or some other repurposed war machine to get him around places faster and more effectively.

      It unironically gets good 200 hours in. If you don't like it then quit.

      It certainly gets more interesting, but the job design has trended in a direction that it's just pressing more keys in that same order. The story gets marginally better but is rife with Dumb for the Sake of Plot and any good writing gets cucked by anime bullshit. Emet-Selch is the only narrative thing worth playing the game for, and at hundreds of hours that's not worth.

      Do not fall for the "just keep going" rhetoric of any kind, just go look for a fun youtube overview or some shit of Emet if the curiosity gets the best of you.

          His first complaint was the core mechanics being unfun. My point is elucidating that it's more of the same 200 hours later, and it's only been getting worse on the exact front he complained about.

          His second was the story sucks. The story still sucks 200 hours later. I fell for the same fricking rhetoric that's being pushed on him, I'm telling him to dip.

          I'm still around the game because at this point I'm subbed only once every couple of years and it gives me an excuse to enjoy it with RL friends. If it weren't for them I'd be out.

          "Tab target" is a form of MMO combat that you just got experience with in this game. You cycle through targets with the tab key and you press actions off a hotbar. Coming from action combat games it is a very noticeable step down and is often a dealbreaker. Especially with how slow the game is to start. It's very very slow burn. Your actions per minute will increase gradually as you gain levels and you gain multiple skills that can be used in between the normal skills that you are forced to use once every few seconds, and at higher difficulty content you have to juggle this style of combat with solving mechanics and avoiding incoming damage. They should have shown you a boss fight or a raid clear to give you an idea of what to aspire to do you could determine if you're willing to put up with the lower APM at the start but your friends didn't consider any of that in the first place.

      Unironically you haven't gotten to the actual game yet. You're in the tutorial still. Until you reach at least level 70, your """rotation""" is at most, like 4-5 buttons and bosses effectively only know how to do a couple of basic AoEs, raidwides, and tankbusters. You also probably haven't done any extremes or savages yet, which means the actual weight of boss mechanics isn't felt. The part that people harp on about with this game isn't the beginning of the game, it's the lategame.

        This looks super conplex and intimidating until you notice it's just a literal button combo you do with about max 10 skills. Nothing too impressive or complex.

        In reality you're just doing the Combos and pressing a button inbetween most of the time.

        Suiton is useless outside of the 1 second of combat, AoEs are only used for dungeon and AoE part of raids, you're never realistically going to fuma shuriken or hyton. It's always Raiton.

            Well for example back in HW and ARR you had actual consequences for your actions. The issue with most jobs now are they're too safe.

            Like if healer didn't know how to properly stance dance he was fricked.
            If an AST didn't save all the balances he was under preforming there was some luck involved too.
            SCH was able to easily outdamage DPS if played well in dungeons.
            BLMs could do so much damage/agro if they didn't manage their skills and cooldowns and tanks didn't pay attention.

            Basically I want risk everything is too safe, you just do your rotation and dodge yellow shit and thats it. There a very small DPS diference betwen a highly skilled player and a decent one.

            Healers are literally just 2 skill dps with some heals inbetween there not enough damage or events happening to heal.

            Tanks are also boring as frick because nothing is actually a threat, most shit can be done with one healer falling asleep and offtanks are even worse.

            We need risk and reward mechanics. Not just a 1-10 rotation that you do over and over. This is why the fricking bot plugins became so popular where people would just press one button and the bot would pick the optimal rotation. This is no gameplay. We need tactical depth.

                Maybe if they made healing actually have some spells instead of just HP go up 1 2 3. Maybe if there was de buffs to remove, timings to hit. Maybe if there was some actual healer combos do like the DPS do it for doing damage. Healing and healers are currently the most brain dead mechanic in the game. This shit needs risks and rewards it needs dynamics it needs a hole lot more work then what SE is willing to put into it.

                You brain dead morons need to get into yoru head that only healing isn't the issue with healers, it's that the healing is badly designed.

                old enmity mechanics = do these extra button inputs on top of your dps rotation or someone/everyone dies
                its the same shit. if someone dies the tank stood in the wrong spot or because the boss slapped their ass since the tank was trying to gold parse and didn't hit defiance the whole fight doesn't matter when the end result is dps death -> failed enrage -> loss.

                the only difference is that there isn't a universal way to spreadsheet mechanics because they change from fight to fight, while hitting my designated enmity lowering button on cooldown and hoping the warrior hit his enmity combo a few times was a universal strategy in stormblood.

          Each of the DPS has a very different rotation, and until you get to a high enough level, it's going to feel ultimately boring to get through. My point was simply that early game FFXIV is extremely flat and simple and you haven't quite seen what a job can do yet. Black Mage becomes utterly ridiculous in the lategame, and you're doing far more than just Fire 1 into Blizzard 1.

            What purpose does triplecasting serve while leylines are up?

            • 2 weeks ago
              Anonymous

              It's a damage increase, because F4 & Despair have a cast time longer than their recast time. It also allows you to weave potion/amplifier/sharpcast if you need to.

                LL lowers your GCD cooldown, Triplecast negates the actual cast windup, so having both during your burst window is a huge DPS boost for a brief moment in time. If all of the buffs align, your damage spikes extremely high during that period.

                Ah, that makes sense.

            Why is triplecast weaved after a normal F4 in the damage focus rotation? Would it not be a gain to use it after the first Thunder?
            Also, I don't think transpose paradox lines are viable anymore.

          My condolences, Black Mage is a very tough job to start with purely because it is extremely boring to level until about level 40 and you don't get the full gameplay loop until about 60. I'm actually hoping the expansion will redistribute the skills you gain via level up in a way that makes it less suffering to play at lower levels but I won't hold my breath.

      No anon imagine or not people have different tastes.

      Story is literally the best MMO story ever told and if you played it for 10 years it has the most satisfying end and revelations in existence. Nothing will ever come close to this because I played it for 10 years and followed the entire story as it developed.

      Combat used to be different between classes but now it's probably in the worst state for someone looking for a challenge and the best state it ever was for casuals and female players.

      As for Multiplayer you're supposed to join a FC and do stuff together, daily roulletes, treasure hunting, hunting, girding shitty shit for relics or dungeons or levels or cosmetics you know standard mmo stuff I guess you expected PVP but this game is 99% PVE split 50% / 50% between casuals and non casuals.

    XIV's story will always be better than any story attempt other MMOs do because it actually remembers to be consistent and not throw out the baby with the bathwater.

    • 2 weeks ago
      Anonymous

      It's not consistent at all, though. Name one thing it's consistent on and I'll break that shit apart. I'll give you a freeby in saving time and say "don't point at Answers" because setting vague seeds and contriving meaning later isn't "being consistent," just like how they had no clue where the ascians were going in the first place (admitted during a dev interview.)

      It's really easy to "plant seeds" and setup vagaries for use down the line so that people will point back and go "LOOK HOW MUCH FORETHOUGHT THEY PUT IN!" Little. It's very little forethought, and if you're a writer it's pretty simple to leave Schroedinger's plot element that they can decide is or is not a device they want to follow-up on at all (if it's even a device in the first place.)

      Beyond that, consistency itself is not a thing. They've routinely re-contextualized the rules of their own world, whether it's metaphysical or societal, and continue to break them regardless. Even leaning on the terrible writing that is a time-travel crutch, they couldn't even stay consistent there, despite the fact that time-travel is supposed to be a writing cheat-code. They fricked-up EVEN THAT.

          If you're saying there's consistency there, there isn't. If you're someone else pointing-out how inconsistent the tempering is, you're correct.

          They just make-up new rules as they need them. People being able to manually be released from tempering, because I guess that's eikon is a dragon, sure. Can't untemper people, because we've arbitrarily decided this specific eikon is powerful enough that it's impossible. Some tempered transform after too long being tempered, some don't, no rhyme or reason beyond fan theories that "this type of aether does it and that type doesn't!!!" All arbitrary rules as they go.

            Is it really that hard to accept that the characters in the setting aren't instantly and perfectly knowledgeable about things in their own world? That discovering new concepts and theories leads to old problems being resolved.

              Anonymous

              No, it's not that hard to give them that charity—if the writing overall has earned it. It hasn't, though, and beyond that, this was about mechanical "consistency," which your own example shows is lacking, to the point you're falling-back on another defense for it.

              I thought that specific Ga Bu story-line and contextualization of the mechanic was cool, and there are a lot of ways you can rationalize their lack of "basic" scientific knowledge. Hectic social and civil time-frames in the relatively short eras between calamities in which much knowledge is lost and progress reset is certainly a close parallel to our own history.

              But again, when you keep changing the rules to fit your narrative, whether it's who can or can't be tempered or how cooperative or subservient a primal might be, the suspension of disbelief loses slack and people either stop caring about the story for all it's convolution or start asking questions. And that's aside from just straight-up dumb shit like throwing all narrative and moral complexity away to save the day with the power of friendship because that's how dynamis works I guess!

              The inconsistency comes from the fact that for many years the echo was treated as the reason why tempering doesn't work on the warrior of light when the retcon to the blessing in EW was the true culprit all along.

    I'm skipping Dawntrail.
    I just don't give a shit anymore after mommy HYoshikawa is gone.
    I coped with the terrible graphics, closed, instanced world, horrible animations and SFX burning my eyes (yes, I turned them down, but it annoys me the default is the solar flare cluster frick), cash shop on top of the sub and HORRIBLE netcode. Everything on a 15 y.o. engine that was terrible to begin with.

    The story, jobs and raids were enough to keep me engaged until Endwalker but I'm done now. Thanks for what fun I had, but I don't want to continue playing, Yoshi-p.

      bozja is the result of the experiments of eureka.

      to describe it in terms of bozja:
      >you can buy armor that increases your output
      >exp potions exist
      >levels actually matter
      >you don't get extra abilities till the third stage
      >most exp will come from pure grinding rather than FATEs
      >the relic quest takes place entirely inside the instances and doesn't necessarily coincide with the internal requirements to level, find a guide if you're doing a relic

                Those are all situations where one player interacts with another, which is what you want in a team game. They're all situations in which one person keeps their buddy fueled up and the whole team benefits from increased damage potential because nobody has to slow down or start leaving abilities out.
                >And in the majority of cases you only ever interacted with the system when:
                TP was a constant issue for WAR, which was the price you paid for the high octane big dick damage it brought. MNK too always had to be aware of TP. In extended fights without downtime you had to be picky with your DoTs and not just blindly throw them out.

      >healer dps stance
      was a thing only white mage players had to actually think about because sch could just ignore the healing magic nerf and ast didn't actually give a shit about personal damage because they were tossing buffs
      >they removed flash and hate combos
      flash on paladin was just a cope for not having proper aoe damage, was a free tank cooldown warrior didn't need and would actively make drk worse because they couldn't get parry/blood price procs on whiffs. enmity combos were such a pain in the ass on pld/drk that everyone just kind of gave up and let warrior - the class that could swap stances basically for free, handle enmity along with a ninja janny cleaning up any enmity spills
      >they removed smn dots
      because summoner spent most of stormblood/shadowbringers being the strongest dps in the whole game because they added tons of strong direct gcds on top of the dots so your damage was insane and even if you used titan egi or spent a lot of time reviving you were still doing great dps just because you remembered to hit tri-disaster to refresh them every now and then
      >they removed TP
      having to level lancer just to get goad so I could actually play the game instead of having to sit there doing autos because I ran out of fun juice was fricking stupid and when they made it a role action it became "remember to press this button on cooldown to keep playing the game". TP was only ever in this game because ff11 had it but the way TP worked in that game was actually interesting, the version in 14 was moronic.
      >they removed protect
      not only was protect really boring (just cast it on everyone before every pull and then forget about it lol) but its annoying to balance around because either you have to assume protect is always up when balancing boss HP, or you don't include protect and then everyone is just taking 10% less damage forever. there's no difference between protect and just taking 10% less damage naturally which is what they ended up doing

      Anon the game literally can't "update" the glamour system without taking away a craftable item and destroying part of the player run economy, so no, it will never get better. They will try and cram more slots into the glamour dresser whenever they can squeeze some more memory out of the game and that's it.

                Right, so 20k for 99, for an item you only use a few per week on average. Meanwhile, long past savage raid season, HQ potions are still selling for 2k+ each. Someone progging an Ultimate uses dozens of these in a single night. Raid food is also selling for around 2k and being used 4+ times per night by raiders.

    I don't know if this is true but the mogstation is so fricking dogshit that I believe it anyway.

    Frick I hate the mogstation, the square enix store, the FFXIV online store and the fricking lodestone, the free trial page, the support, the patch notes page, the expansion pages, all of it is so fricking aids and dogshit.

    The worst part is it's always been dogshit, everyone complains about it and we know they know and they'll never do anything about it.

              Always has been a normal take. Fishing in FFXIV is something only for NEETs no one is waking up at 2am their time to catch a fish because that is the only time the weather effect to catch that fish will happen for 2 months.
