Why not just say you didn't play the game?
Come on bro, I like shadowbringers too but graha literally came from the future to save WoL's sorry ass
I was talking more about endwalkers blatant time travel. The time travel in Shadowbringers is sort of in the backseat since it happens totally offscreen
You first, skippers. The entire plot happens because of a bootleg Future Trunks plot twist. Did you homosexuals miss that crying into your Emet body pillow or something?
No it doesn't, are you moronic or something?
Not to mention Minfillia and Time dilation

wow lost
I play both WoW and FF14 and they are both good in their own ways. I like WoW raids more but FF14 is king of story. WoW shouldn't require reading books to get the whole story and FF14 shouldn't have whack ass raid mechanics that aren't spelled out anywhere. Everything I am saying is subjective. Everyone should just play what they think is fun.
b***h this has been done for years. Average poser Woman "gamers" just don't know anything about vidya and have short attention spans.
No one remembers lost cause and soul reaver but OG gamers
Woman gamer good (just stay away from her fanfiction for your sanity), woman "gamer" bad, simple as.
I only want gamers, ""gamers"" of either sex need to fricking die.
thank goodness hennig was brought up almost immediately, i ran in to post her
You have good taste, the fact that feminists didn't stand up for her but did for Druckmann and his self insert fanfic is why i will never take any of them seriously.

Ranjit makes more sense when you realize he's what the warrior of light would be if he gave up on saving the world.

I don't really care, just don't force wamen into job positions that they should be in. If they can write a good story then let them write.
As a new player, I thought Endwalker was better
Elpis was the only highlight of EW, Garlamald was great leading to the Moon, but it focused too much on side characters, and the last part draaaagged and really forced I just wanted the game to end at the point.
>An entire expansion about Garlemald & Zenos.
Nobody got time for that shit.
Yet everyone has time for a whole expansion about SB-tier zone hopping and Zenos. Quite curious.
EW was kino. BOOM BOOM CRASH.
If it makes you feel better, that woman contorted the whole world to bend to the whims of her OCs and now it's unraveling and an unhealthy pace. 5.0 should've been about Garlemald, WMDs, and Zenos learning there's more to life than battle autism while in his new body.
>muh Garlemald
Can you Black folk frick off already
Glory be to Garlemald, Black person. They had immediately character assassinate Varis and then kill him off the follow expansion because he made too much sense and BTFO Eorzean leaders 1v6 at the war table. Frick the hack fujo writer.
>Eorzea has problems, that means my wars of annexation and literal genocides are justified
Nah
Yes. All war is justified.
You're a fricking moron.
post-stormblood zenos sucks he should have stayed dead.
Zenos was never good. Every xpac after HW was just a the same boring anime story we had in so many other anime, manga and games.
Should I buy the new DoL/DoH gear at 300k a piece or will it tank further in the near future?

Shadowbringers is great until they stop dead in the middle of the action after confronting Vauthry so Alphinaud can have another cry. From then on the pacing is garbage, and by the time you get to the ancient oversized city fricking yawn why isn't this over?
Heavensward had a similar problem. It's like they realised they'd built a great climax but still had hours to fill so ruin it and then keep tugging. It's just not satisfying any more. HW at least saved itself in the patches.
EW does this when you go back in time.
Really every expansion does this in every region. The previous region ramps up the story, then you go to a new area to frick around with fairies or whatever and the plot stops.
Loser clown.

Yikes.
Halo 3 > HW > ARR > SB > ShB > EW
I really enjoyed the starting hours of ShB, over time as more and more familiar characters were reintroduced, my enjoyment dwindled - the prospect of a new world with a number of new allies was really appealing, but it ended up just being more scions and an occasional tag along.
Also Ranjit was fricking horrible, no idea how they managed to frick him up so badly after doing so well with Nero and Ilberd.
Ranjit is neat, but the problem is that he's not your rival. It feels like they backed down a bit from the roleplay stuff last minute so that the WoL can be present at every major event, because it makes far more sense to have Thancred fight Ranjit every time except for the last duel with the WoL. You can even see how easy it would be to write it back in.
ShB > EW > HW > ARR > SB
>Expansion has TP
>it's good
>Expansion doesn't have TP

Shadowbringers is full of boring irrelevant shit like fairies, dwarves, dog people, nightborne and bunny girls. The plot is generic jrpg 101, travel to each zone and beat the boss monster then go to ancient lost city to defeat evil sorcerer with the power of light and friendship.
I enjoyed the Doma half of Stormblood more than Shadowbringers.
yeah, it's great
>Write main character out in the 2nd expansion.
>Do nothing with her for an entire expansion.
>Decide to kill her off screen and replace her with a younger version of herself, who's whole character arc is outgrowing the original main character.
Any other franchise got caught doing this, you lot would take issue. Shb's is a dumb story that only gets swallowed up because you're forced to go through it for 10-20 hours.
le snapping pizza man unironically carries the entire expansion
Emet is shit. Ardbert carried it for me.
Ardbert and Emet carry the expansion, without those two it would be garbage. Initially coming out of ShB Ardbert was by far the best part.
>mfw he sees you for the first time again in Elpis
Cute
First of all Ishikawa didn't write Heavensward where they killed off Minfillia, second of all Minfillia is not the main character what the frick are you blathering about?
>Minfillia wasn't a main character of ARR
Are you stupid? The WoL is the main character, she is just a mentor figure
The Scions are the main characters of XIV, as (your) party dumbass.
Like how every FF game, has a main cast of characters.
If this is the new cope to defend dogshit writing, then go ahead.
Main Cast=/=Main Character
Yes, main cast are main characters.
You are correct. Minfillia barely does frickall in ARR besides get captured and then whine about being shitty at her job. Minfillia was quite literally never a good character.
You're confusing good with effective. She's a fine character. Like Tataru, her skills and abilities are just limited.
Don't compare Tataru to Minfillia. Tatarua does ten times as much useful shit as Minfillia ever did while ALSO doing Minfillia's job better than she ever did.
>wtf man, this character isn't as powerful as the WoL, SHIT CHARACTER! REEEE
i hate zoomers
Don't try that shit with me homosexual. Minfillia is shit because she's completely ineffectual until after getting vored by the crystal. It's not some power level wank she literally didn't accomplish a damn thing before that point.
She was only ever an administrator / coordinator for the Scions, literally a desk job. What did you want her to do, pull out an axe and start whacking Primals with us?
I'd like her to do some goddamn administrating, everything that happens is because she sat around with her thumb up her ass and let dumbass Alphinaud basically hijack the organization out from under her nose and run it into the ground.
No, but like an anon pointed out Tataru does that job far better and is more helpful. They were trying to make her more useful or show up more towards the end but it still isn't that great.
>6.4
>everyone thinks the trial will be Golbez
>we go back to The Void
>suddenly Scarmgilione is freed from his prison
>6.4 trial is actually his "resurrection"
>6.5 is Golbez
>there is no Zeromus
Your thoughts? Would this redeem the Four Fiends a bit more?
It's not the Four Fiends that need redemption, and not having Zeromus certainly doesn't help bring that about.
Maybe there is a Zeromus. Zero tries to kill or absorb Golbez and turns into Zeromus. Lavos could also be a possibility, the DoH/DoL quests are hinting about it.
Zeromus is the result of a crystal of light exposing Zemus' true nature. We already used a crystal of light to expose Zero's true nature.
They wont do that with a boss we’ve already fought
Shadowbringers was only a good story because it was mostly self-contained. It was a zombie apocalypse vacation/filler expansion. The holes in the writing show through all over Stormblood and the second half of Endwalker, to say nothing of how hastily Shadowbringer's patch series wrapped up loose plot threads.

DOOOD, LET'S INTERRUPT OUR STORMBLOOD FINAL FOR THE SCIONS TO SUDDENLY DROP INTO COMA'S, BECAUSE WE NEED TO SET UP THE NEXT EXPANSION AND HAVE NO LOGICAL WAY TO DOOOO IIIIT
This but Shadowbringers wasting Elidibus and off-screening the entire Garlean Empire plot while also having the audacity to fix all beast problems forever in just two fricking patches.
Don't forget setting up Endwalker, by stopping in the end of those two fricking patches and then have the whole cast look up at the moon. Even though at that point, they don't know anything fricky is going on with the moon.
Having a slightly awkward scene where the characters look up at the moon isn't anything like having two whole patches about the Scions logging out of life suddenly.
I've got no clue what happened after HW, but ARR and HW had more than natural transitions into the next expansion conflicts.
They just dropped the fricking ball with Shb and Endwalker feeling awkward and so sudden
ARR had 100 MSQs between it and HW.
Illberd set up Stormblood perfectly at the end of HW.
They realized they were running out of time with their original ten year plan to actually get shit done and decided to kick it into gear. In terms of the overall world's plot very little actually advances from the beginning of ARR to the end of SB, basically all that happens there is one nation rejoins the Alliance and two terrtories liberated themselves from the Empire. If the plot had continued at its original pace we'd probably just now be getting around to setting up what would be Shadowbringers, we'd have spent the past two expansions slowly marching and pushing back the Empire.
Shadowbringers was mostly filler
morons, it's supposed to be abrupt. ShB puts into perspective how insignificant the Eorzean conflict is.

Yeah, frick actual Asahi. But EW Fandaniel was great. Amon would've been awesome as well but it wasn't flesh out properly before EW
I always thought it was a bit strange they brought back one of the most vile characters in the series to give him a win in EW
I prefer Devastation Daniel
He was quite based. Amon, Hermes, and Meteion carried EW hard.

You know for a while I thought it was just people having fun with a meme but some of you morons actually convinced yourself they were going to have the big bad behind everything be a Chrono Trigger boss, what the frick is wrong with you Black folk
FFXIV is utterly fricking shameless, what are you talking about? It's a themepark of FF games with fan service out the ass to the point I'm utterly baffled that Sephiroth isn't a raid boss yet. There's even the dozen or so crossovers that hurt the integrity of the setting.
This post doesn't logically follow into the next
How does XIV having fan service make it any more likely that a Chrono Trigger enemy would be the final boss of their story
>duuuuuuuude it has a crossover raid that means Lavos is the final boss POGGERS!!
Are you a fricking moron?

You're a dumb motherfricker aint'cha
Speak English
It's a line from Answers you ignorant motherfricker
Necron is a perfect comparison since it was also a shit boss made up at the last second much like the emo bird.
Necron is hinted at throughout the game. You're just a speed reader and a brainlet.
Doesn't matter how you dismiss it, the fact is that it was blatantly retconned for the bird shit.

why does the world most powerful wizard use a gun
Because Emet is a drama queen and shooting the moron cat is more entertaining than just destroying him.
That and the fact that if he just wanted to use him as bait to lure you in to suicide by Azem.
Garleans can't use magic.
Emet can use magic due to being a shadowBlack person. He casually ripped the lifestream open to rescue Y’stola earlier. He made fricking Amaurot and everyone in it alone with a whole dungeon for you to get the idea.
Guns are cool and fun. If I were an immortal space lich I'd still carry a gun to blast uppity mortals with just for the hell of it.
He's unironically LARPing with the gun.
Of course he is. It makes a big bang and gets everyone's attention when he wants to call them all morons. What isn't to love about using a gun for him?
He was just LARPing

>>Best video game story.
It's impressive anyone is dumb enough to actually think this.
No mmo will ever have anywhere near the best story, or even a good story, because it's a fricking mmo. It's bogged down by bad pacing due to, generally, bad combat and bad traversal and world exploration. In xiv you just get fricking tired of the shitty text and shitty cutscenes to the point you want to start skipping them or mashing through them. I played last year for a bit, I think I got to 50 or something, and in that entire time I can safely say I basically remember fricking nothing of the story. I remember the dragoon shit in the snow land, and I remember that dumb b***h getting her hideout attacked. I guess I remember trying to befriend the fairies or some shit too. 50 levels, idk how many hours that is, and remembering literally 3 scenes that took seconds each, is not particularly good writing.
So what game has better writing?
>never got out of arr
>it gets good 200 hours in!
If there was ever a single video game in the entire world where that statement was true and not a meme this is the one.
how convenient
It gets good literally after the main part of ARR leading into HW. You are basically complaining the tutorial has writing you didn't enjoy.
>it actually does
>level 50
You're not at the good writing part
>I think I got to 50 or something
that's the filter, they call it.
EW ruined the ancients and made them look like schizos
>wtf this stupid race that forces everyone to wear the same clothes and uses their magic to create stupid shit for likes on twitter was ruined
lol
EW showed ancients for what the really were and not Emet's aether headcannon.
>ruined the ancients
you think paleontologists ruined cavemen cause they weren't the nephalems the bible claimed them to be?
>the ancients
>you barely see a zoo/lab
>talk to 4 of them, who are undeniably highly excentric
What was wrong with the ancients? They are basically little kids with God magic who have developed far better than us. They don't have answers to everything and never were meant to.
>made them look like schizos
Which they were. The MSQ, quests and Pandemonium have made it clear they were callous and uncaring beings at least and frothing psychotics at worst.
EW is shitty fanfic
Amaurot is canon
You missed what he was saying
Other than the one Lahabread was fricking, which ancient is deliberately callous? The ones she tempered? That isn't really their fault.
Hermes himself was at the very least a psychotic. He knows he causes Meteion pain and SHE'S the one who comforts him and rubs his head. He's known for totally be down for letting the creations get loose and murder each other and the other Ancients just laugh it off like 'that's totally something Hermes would do!'. The ones you talk to in Elpis also clearly treat Familiars like shit and don't care if they get killed.
Hermes needed to be checked but he was not callous just trusted far too much and all the ancients believed he would not do his crazy untested shit because that was so unheard of for them.
They don't treat them poorly but even if they did so what? Familiars are basically like treating an Alexa poorly. They don't have souls and most aren't advanced enough to have feelings or care. They are basically how you have minions. How they treat you is with fascination and them saying how different you are and are basically saying "only Azem would be crazy enough to make this! How interesting!"
Dropped Shadowbringers halfway through.
Best video game story, my ass.
Heavensward was the only decent piece of story and content in the entire game.
>GAME WAS GOOD BEFORE TIME TRAVEL
The entire plot of the game 2.0 and forward is that you got sent through time to avoid the cataclysm of Bahamut.
imagine if they had the balls to do this again and you meet grown up scions
All of the Scions except the twins are already grown up what the frick are you talking about
>you missed the server shutdown for 1.0
Imagine missing the greatest MMO event in the story of mankind
>greatest
kek i enjoyed it but come on
You know anon most people who've played XIV, haven't played other MMO's.
yeah, it definitely shows every time one of them praises the dev team over adding qol the game should have had 10 years ago
XI, WoW, Wildstar, Rift, Warhammer Online, GW2.
Only game that got events anywhere near as good as 1,0's sendoff was Ultima Online.
on paper the shutdown was cool. fighting the garleans in mor dhona with your entire server like that cutscene they released later. the actual execution of the shutdown was laughable as everyone was lagging the entire time until coming to a complete stop a minute before getting booted off while the aforementioned end of an era cutscene plays
Its pretty obvious. If they did they would realize theyre essentially WoW 2 and just new more obnoxious versions of WoWgays
WoW and FFXIV are polar opposites my friend
>noooo we're not the same
Lmao. The only difference is one acknowledged their raid centric design while the other is allergic to raids but praising the same raid centric design.
The communities are polar oposites.
WoW is unarguably one of the worst online communities outside of asshomosexuals while XIV is so fricking polite it's hard to believe you're playing online with people in the same planet.
>noooo we're not the same
Youre the same fricking cancer. Anyone from ARR onward is the same cancer we dealt with when WoW was at its peak. Its hilarious that you think otherwise. Once again the only difference is one likes raids and the other its casual content barring the preference of the streamlined content they're the exact same.
They already do. CC was pretty much DoA with ARR and the constant need to make sure no one feels left out in an MMO doomed this game to follow WoW's path. Balmung and Mateus at this point probably dictate the final decisions of XIV at this point. Look at the fricking cash shop after all.
Seems like you're the one being an obnoxious moron anon.
No theyre both the same. WoWgays just dont try and cover it with a facade of kindness. They'll just shit on you for the sake of shitting on you. XIVgays do a better job at hiding it but its there all the same, even worse id argue anyone past Heavensward are more tribal than the WoWgays of old. Step in line or youre Barry or some kind of WoWgay. To pretend both communities are polar opposites is to be ignorant, tribal or both.

I haven't been called a Black person and kicked off a dungeon for not bringing flasks in XIV, rest assured, XIV players are not WoW players.
Well thats because saying anything puts you at risk of being reported and banned for hurt feelings
yeah, I remember people on primal kicking players after spamming "tacos" in the chat while doing Smiletone...
Wait a minute, that was wow, and it was Lower Karazhan
Do XIV have some kind of gearscore autisms like wow where you have to show the achievement for the raid you want to do for first time?
the duty finder has a feature you can enable [Duty Complete] where anyone trying to join has had to have cleared whatever duty they are signing up for once
people in party finder definitely still do behavior similar to this even if not on the same applicable level. its not really their fault though because you'll have people seeking phase 3 practice or something and people who obviously have never seen phase 1 join to get carried and shit up the whole run
I never played wow so I never know what to say when people bring it up, but people can look up your parses (other people can parse you and upload them to a third party site even if you don't do it yourself) and start stupid arguments with them
its okay. xiv will squeeze out its entire midcore audience like wow did because they only pander to lowest common denominator coomer modders and the very loud and very small raidgay community that just cheats anyway, just like wow!
I don't raid in either. WoW is very little if any good story, then quite a lot of autistic stat treadmill. FFXIV very little if any autistic stat treadmill and quite a lot of good story/immersion.
WoW has good base combat. FFXIV has shit base combat.
WoW is built on hooking people with the low amount of content to pay the sub as long as possible.
FFXIV is about going through the content without trying to scam you into being a paypig.
>without trying to scam you into being a paypig

Lmao most of them are troons. This is an MMO we're talking about.
Nope shitloads of real women play this game, that is why it gets easier at every patch.
If only raiding troons played it the game would get hyper difficult.
Theyre a minority and youre fooling yourself into thinking otherwise.
>male brains
Even more reason as to why they get autistically attached to their idea of what a "woman" is. They're pretty much acting up the caricature of a woman including buying pointless shit en masse.
>They're pretty much acting up the caricature of a woman including buying pointless shit en masse
No anon, trannies don't ever pull that one trope.
You're correct in that they do play a caricature of a women but women spending is one thing troons will never understand, just like menstrual cramps or dragging an entourage to the toilet. It's a biological calling only real females do.
>No anon, trannies don't ever pull that one trope
Lmao you're coping. They spend so much money on useless crap. They just happen to ignore the one trait that would demolish your concept of women being the primary drivers of the cash shop? Let's ignore that troons are the ones who will buy pointless cute shit cause they think they'll look more feminine or pointless medical procedures.
he's right though, you don't see trannies wasting 10 hours shopping, ever, all of their bullshit is low effort superficial mimicry
>t. Californianon
It's actual females who buy that sort of shit, troons don't go around buying $10k designer handbags.
Troons have male brains.
I know an actual female that plays this game and I know for a fact that she's spent over 500 dollars on the cash shop. Shit's wild.
I have a girlfriend, never let them have your credit card.
This game has a frickton of actual women playing it just to play with doll characters. Its a huge part of why the community is so fricking catty and passive aggressive. Its really easy to tell when you have one in your group, they're unbelievably braindead.

Well can't blame you.
Any random zone from Warlords of Draenor, an expansion that came out when ARR was current content, mogs practically every single area created for FFXIV in its entire 10 year long history DESPITE using lower quality assets. Square Enix is INCAPABLE of making open world maps. The fact you expect me to be impressed by Ultima Thule because "muh skybox" shows how fricking low your standards are.
>he thinks this is good design
Black person you live in Bizzaro world, because the reality is the exact opposite of everything you've said
Your bias is showing almost as much as all those jaggies in that screenshot.
>still projecting
Are you a democrat voter by any chance?

Funny that you bring politics like a leftist while accusing others of acting like leftist s. Kys moron also XIV is a demographic of mainly leftists you mong.

Ahahahahahahaha
bro the screenshot you posted immediately brings to light how fricking bad ffxiv looks. whats wrong with this guy's mouth LMAO how do you make a game that looks almost as bad as wow when you make it TEN YEARS AFTERWARDS OH NO NO NO

I like how the wowgay cope now is just "yeah we know wow is fricking terrible, but your game is almost as bad"
A game released in 2004 has outdated graphics? Wow. I didn't know that. You're telling me now for the first time. I'm actually sad to hear that.
>10 year old game looks just as bad as a 20 year old one
yeah its grim
Have you ever stopped to look at anything in WoW?
>old models
>news ones are even more soulless
Whose side are you on?
Art improved but the narrative went to trash. It's not the art teams fault.
bro this zone is literally just snow and destroyed buildings with random volcanos all over, you just posted a skybox with a bunch of snow and a shitty destroyed building with lava pouring out of it
shhh...you need to put on your nostalgia goggles to appreciate it

I know you're trying too hard, Xenogears just threw a bunch of symbolic shit and religious metaphors at a wall just copying Evangelion and if you can just go along with it while suspending your disbelief is a great game, but saying it's a good story?
You should had said Planescape Torment or Soul Reaver instead, anon.
>trying too hard
Speaking the truth isn't trying too hard.
This shit has worse pacing than ARR.
The first disc is a meandering pile of shit in which literally nothing happens. It's only in the second disc where the story gets going, but the game devolves into an unfinished pile of shit. This game is nothing but a hodge-podge of ideas of a failed, never-to-be-realized project.
Out of my board shit taste plebeian.
anyone have a plugin repo with xivpartyicons

Krile is underappreciated gem
She's great, that voice tho.
FF5 Krile was better
Krile is trash, everything about sharlayan and labyrintos was so boring because of her
Which is why I said underappreciated
More like overappreciated for being a lala even though she's boring as hell
Hermes is the 2nd best character in endwalker, behind venat.

Chrono Trigger/Cross and FF8 have fun time-travel stories you should take too seriously.
Remember us. Remember that we once lived...
Also remember to watch out for that crazy guy Fandaniel. His pet bird is literally what caused the final days. I was there with my good friend Hythlodaeus and we ran into you because you got sent to the past by our good friend Elidibus. We went there to meet our good friend Hermes but he went crazy and let his pet bird kill humanity because he wanted to do an experiment. And then he was going to memory wipe all of us until Venat flew in on her magical dog and escaped with you. She then for some reason decided not to tell anyone about what happened and instead doomed us all to die, including our good friend Azem who died trying to find the source of the noise even though Venat knew all along because she put a magical microchip on Hermes’s bird. She then became Hydaelyn and sundered the world as a way to test if humanity was strong enough to stop the final days. And she was a good friend.
HOLY FRICK WHAT'S THIS UI

Unironically yes. She'll likely have some kind of mental illness but that just comes with being a woman.
If you don't mind the high probability of her being crazy or unfrickable yes.

They're slowly stealing and implementing plugins as time goes on, hopefully they get around to that one eventually
They probably don't even understand the problem xivalex/noclippy fixes. They literally said in one of the media tour interviews before EW that they haven't tested the game with pings beyond 120.
Are they fricking moronic?
They just don't give a shit about problems outside of japan.
For frick's sake I hate it when Universalis is down.
It's worth this game only for the story?
For some people it's a miss, for some it's a hit. For me it was 100% worth.
No.
At that point just experience the story through youtube
It's the gameplay fun or comfy/relaxing?
It's par the course MMO gameplay, with up to 20 minute cutscenes between the gameplay if you want to actually experience all the story.
Then the dungeons/trials/raids are more akin to dancing with flashy effects
If that's your thing, go for it. But if you just want the story, generally just youtube it
Yes, it's easily in the top 5 final fantasy stories, take it slow and you can get months and months out of enjoyment out of it.
how many hours do you have to watch cutscenes
if you have time then yes, if no then maybe not
there's an interview with YoshiP shortly after 2.0 where he went to Australia and tried to do Titan HM there and realized how fricked up it was
they probably still think the game is playable without plugins but I doubt they have no idea at all
No. It's generic animu shit. To call this a "game" is laughable. The entire MSQ is
1. Go here talk to person
2. Go across contininent or zone to talk to other person
3. Go back and talk to person
4. Go back to talk to person across the zone/continent then go talk to someone even farther away
5. Go back to 1's area for an unloseable battle
6. Repeat for 100+ hours
>2. Go across contininent or zone to talk to other person
this never happens
Razadhan
at that of the game when you have millions of gil an can TP everywhere? woah, you got me there
Oh, fine, you can eventually just cut out travel and just teleport nonstop. Still doesn't change the "gameplay" loop being errand shit ad naseum.
after years of "kill 12 of these things just because", I prefer it
>It's worth this game only for the story?
It's a Stockholm syndrome kind of thing, for better or worse. The first campaign is legit ass and the story doesn't really pick up until its post-game. A lot of the enjoyment of the story in general also relies on your opinion towards typical JRPG / anime nakama stuff, which the game spends a lot of time on considering almost the entire plot is just (You) and NPCs, with other players only receiving some lip service in terms of the story even acknowledging their existence. In general I'd say the story isn't that special, it's just that the devs are great at delivering nice spectacles for the actual boss fights and some of the pivotal plot moments.
>time travel bad
Why?
Time travel is a crutch used for writers who want to shit out a story, without it having actual consequences on the main story outside of what characters they wanna get rid of, or keep.
But that's not how they used it.
Yes but you asked why time travel is bad.
So time travel isn't bad it's just bad in some hypothetical situation that doesn't apply to the game we are talking about.
Ok got it thanks.
Because of little something called causality. It's simply not possible to write a time travel story without violating logic of cause and effect. Some chickenshit writers will try to weasel out of it with alternative timelines and closed loops but inevitably causality takes it up the ass somewhere. Any story with time travel is impossible to take seriously for this reason unless it's like time travel tourism where it's just used as a springboard for adventure in an unusual setting.
it's on par with "it's a hologram" levels of storytelling
>"it's a hologram"
what?
you must be over 18 to post here
Give me 5 examples of video game stories that include a "hologram" as one of their main plot devices.
now youre just being nasty
i think thats a reference your generation will get
Literally the only way you can think Shadowbringers is the best videogame story is the only games you've ever played are ffxiv and wow.
I'd love to play games with better story and characters than ARR-EW but I can't name a single one.
Outside Wrath of the Righteous that is
It's legitimately in the top 10.
I'd put Planescape Torment and NWN:Mask of the Betrayer above it.
>Putting FF14 near Planescape Torment

>come back to the game a while back
>leviathan and primal are basically little mexico now and everyone is fricking brain damaged and terrible at the game
what happened exactly?

That explains Emet.
ARR is the best story. From there on the game just loses it's identity and becomes more and more cliched.
>it ended up just being more scions
I was fine with that because it was the first time Urianger, Thancred and Y'shtola got some proper fricking screentime. You say 'more screentime' but my perspective is 'holy shit these guys are actually getting focus?'
I feel like a lot of this playerbase don't understand the difference between being the focus of the story and merely being the passenger in someone else's, waiting for the day it's finally your turn to do the shit you want to do.
ffxiv literally can't even make a zone as pretty as shadowmoon valley from warlords, a blue forest rendered with N64 assets and 32x32px textures. this is because cbu3 is not actually capable of making open world maps, and they will remain incapable even after ffxiv gets its graphics upgraded.
>take a screenshot from spyro: year of the dragon
>calls it world of warcraft
nice bait
I wish there were prettier, weirder areas in a final fantasy game too.
>weirder areas
this is my biggest gripe, i want more fantasy landscapes
With the amount of money the game makes its kinda insulting they don't have more care for normal overworld areas.
They are apprehensive about adding too much detail after their experiences with 1.0.
>With the amount of money the game makes
a tiny percent of that goes back into the game
Why? because square enix and their absolutely moronic business practices

Meracydia has racist, isolationalist tribes so that's already a complete no-brainer. And if we ever do get a Midgar-like shard then we're totally gonna fight Shinra.
So far the arguments for "ffxiv has good zones actually" have consisted of:
>Picture of a skybox taken in a zone that's 80% poorly-textured grey and brown dirt.
>Picture of concept art of that zone that depicts things that aren't even in the actual game.
>Awful screenshot of an Elezen that looks nearly as bad as a WoW character despite being from a much more recent game.
>Screenshot of a spell effect from Seat of Sacrifice, which is not an open world zone.
>Screenshot of a skybox from Endwalker's ending featuring ZERO 3D assets.
>Barryphrenia.
Gentlemen I don't think FFXIV is sending its best to this thread.
>2 morons shitposting
>argument
Are you stupid?
>improved
lolno
It's unironically impressive that FFXIV manages to have consistently less visually impressive zones than WoW, which is 5000 years old and has a stupid cartoon artstyle. It's like they know the ffxiv playerbase only cares about taking screenshots of their character and won't even notice how utterly hideous places like Labyrinthos are.
WoW has better looking vistas, FFXIV has better looking everything else. Spell effects, boss spectacles.
I have never stopped in WoW to take in the scenery, not even once.
FFXIV got me a couple of times.
>Spell effects
jesus christ, no. i have to turn that shit off as it hurts my eyes and others have complained about it actually preventing them from seeing mechanics lmao
Doesn't mean they aren't pleasing to the eye to watch individually, just go to a training dummy and watch your character attack it, the animations are actually pretty.
its not like any of this matters for either game when people just spend all their time outside of instances in the main city hub for that expansion anyways lmao
WoW's open world isn't completely worthless for levelling alts unlike XIV's. It sees significantly more use DESPITE wow being the same kind of lobby game.
That's because no one has to suffer through leveling alts in XIV you dolt.
Thank jesus for that. Imagine killing 50 bears for asses 10 times over.
>can play any job with one character
>they all play the exact same within their respective roles
Levelling another job is exactly the same thing you fricking moron, except instead of getting to pick zones of your choice to quest in like WoW, you do it entirely through completely soul crushing roulette/potd spam. Levelling a second job in FFXIV from 1 to 90 is a horrible experience and no crying about "muh bear asses" will change that.
>you can pick if you want to kill 50 bears or 50 boars
????
As opposed to XIV where you randomly pick between 5000 identical dungeons all of which are the exact same hallway pattern of 2 trash pulls, 1 boss, 2 trash pulls, 1 boss, 2 trash pulls, 1 boss.
>or POTD
>or Bozjha
>or Eureka
>or trials
>or just go to the Golden Saucer and race chocobos
Life is good
You've become so agitated you can't even follow the argument anymore and actually said that you can level in Eureka and the Gold Saucer. Immediately exposed yourself as someone who has only one job leveled LMAO. Stupid fricking shadowbaby.
>n-n-n-n-no you can't do this to me! you have to pick up the cherries from the feces!
Don't forget doing fates.
Man I'm just glad I don't have to go run errands for gay centaurs or trannies to level up.
>Complains about collecting bear asses.
>Shills the FATE system which is almost entirely kill 50 bears or kill 1 big bear and has horrible experience rates.
lmao
>bear asses
>not world bosses
>not killing 1 bear ass and then leaving
Seethe moron
Wow, you kill one HP sponge boss with a cleave and a circle AoE, or you kill 40 small enemies which sometimes have cleaves and circle AoEs. This truly is revolutionary content and widely enjoyed by masses of people, that's why FATE trains are super popular and everyone is out in Thavnair farming them!
Why act so butthurt FFXIV has multiple roads to leveling instead of forcing you to literally sink your head in shit and gather candles?
You can spam dungeons to level or do PvP in WoW moron. Extremely funny though that questing is so dead in XIV that the very idea of questing in the game's world is something you mock, while at the same time shilling FATEs, the most soulless form of menial MMO questing I've ever seen.
>FATE bad
>yet in modern WoW both cooking and hunting open world activity is the most popular
You keep defending quests like your life depended on it.
Imagine being this moronic white knighting one of the shittiest MMOs in the market, why?
>You keep defending quests
Shadowbabies are the funniest kind of MMO creature I've ever seen. "It's actually GOOD our game has no questing experience", "it's GOOD that FFXIV doesn't have any fun combat content at max level besides raids!", "I'm glad Endwalker is removing every single DoT from the game! DoT fetishists are all from WoW!".
By 8.0 you'll be saying "I'm actually happy that Savage has two floors only now" and "This game didn't need open world zones anyway, being explicitly a lobby game is what MMOs are all about".
>offtopic schizo rants going nowhere
Yikes, go find some mental health professional
>noooooo please don't point out ffxiv is missing a ton of basic features you'd expect from any MMO or JRPG!!! that's off-topic!!! only talk about how questing is bad and about how FATEs are super good even though they're just quests but worse!!!
>people hate dots but have no issue watching cd timers which is essentially how dots work
i never understood the hate for dots. is it just morons complaining about not seeing as big of numbers pop up?
Casuals who want everything to be 1 button rotations where all abilities glow
DoTs aren't very engaging to most players, it's just a timer before you cast it again. Even refreshing it can be annoying, and DoTs suck if you have no way of spreading them like Bard.
i miss when dots used to work on bosses when they "vanished" from the playing field. maybe if there was a little more merit to them then people would like them but the game isnt really built around them shining or having any merit over direct damage besides a higher potency
I think Black Mage handles them the best, you'll want it up all the time since at any time it can proc an instant recast that not only refreshes the DoT, but delivers the DoT's full length of damage with that cast.
yeah that's engaging enough considering how much value a black mage receives from it. just wish they would do something like that for every job as it could make them all a lot more fun
positionals are next on the chopping block and you will see gays fall over themselves to defend that too
To be fair, it does feel bad not to see huge numbers
wow has world quests(which are fates) and daily dungeon xp bonus too so i really dont know why anyone is talking about actually questing to level in that game
>and has horrible experience rates (it doesn't)
>and also gives gems to buy mats and fluff
what the frick!!
>not sending your goys to die for Israel while you level up
Hehehehe go die for me my little goblins

Here's your (you), now better go ready that tongue
>Incoherent marvel quip

>Schizophrenic babble to cope with not knowing how his own game work.
Go level your alt in Eureka moron see how much experience it gives you LMAO.
The armory bonus helps with that, increasing the amount of XP you get if your current job is a lower level than your highest level job. And the sidequests are fine XP too, so you don't have to just spam roulettes. And the beast tribe dailies are worth a fair amount of XP for a few minutes of work. And if you really love the open world so much, you can do FATEs and get credit for your shared FATEs when you make it to Shadowbringers. You also get XP from PvP, and you don't even have to play the class you queue in on. You get rewarded for what you queue for, and can swap to a class you have more fun playing. Plus since you've already cleared zones, you can fly through them even at level 1.
I leveled an alt in WoW because I wanted to be a healer but was playing a Warlock at the time. Even in WotLK and Cata, it was annoying to do. My new characters didn't have mounts, so getting to places was slow. If I needed anything that was locked behind an honor or rep grind, I had to do it all again. Going from Warlock to Priest (I also made a Paladin, Warrior, and Druid,) meant having to skill up First Aid and Cooking and 2 more professions. I enjoyed the different classes, but it's much easier for me in XIV to get another job up to max level than it was back in WoW.
>XIV newbie is so moronic he doesn't know FFXIV players call secondary jobs "alts" too.
>He's so new he has never tried to do it and gotten to experience how incredibly unfun it is.
>Posts FOTM manga too pretend he's winning the argument.
>too
WoW is about the world, XIV is about its climatic story beats. XIV is what WoW is mixed in with Playstation's desire to be cinematic.
FF14 is like a medieval painting, detailed individual elements, but not arranged very pleasingly. Wow's areas are like an impressionist painting, not a lot of close up detail but the arrangement is pleasing.
For comparison. Hell some wow textures even have brush strokes on em.
I stopped playing when the last savage tier came out and just came back. How are you supposed to catch up in terms of equipment? I've only got 610 stuff and the instance in the MSQ is recommending me an ilvl of 630. Isn't that savage tier ilvl?
>in the MSQ is recommending me an ilvl of 630.
No it doesn't, what are you smoking?
You guys are always so eager to throw around insults without knowing what you're talking about.
>he thinks "recommending" equals to "requiring"

Do you even read what you post?
FFXIV zones went to shit after Heavensward introduced flying and everything because a square
>final fantasy doesn't have good looking zones
morons
what PS3 game is this
oh, wait
not an argument
>Posts a small city zone where you can't fly.
Post Labyrynthos and Thavnair next.
Sure right after you post durotar or desolace or any of the other near empty zones that litter azaroth.
Thavnair looks decent with gshade
The biggest problem with the game's visuals is that it has a really nasty looking green tint over it, you don't notice it if its all you've ever seen.
But, if you color correct with gshade its fricking disgusting when you realize it
Every zone can look drab and shit if you focus on the open areas with foliage and some rocks at best. I agree that XIV zones are pretty plain, but the worst offender is a lot of the cool design elements are out of bounds and the ones that aren't, aren't used in any MSQ or even side quests.
>just found out that modders made a simulator for housing
>which you can then copy+paste designs into the game with a plugin

Okay so you're just doing the 4chin moron thing of declaring victory even though there's no evidence of it. Seems like a sign of extreme insecurity about your videogame, but I wouldn't know since I'm not a moronic consoomer tribalist.
>I'm not a moronic consoomer tribalist
you are
Nope, I don't care if people insult the games I like, unlike FFXIV's mentally unhinged fanbase that consistently goes into schizoid tantrums whenever anybody implies that its story is mediocre or that it's not actually a very impressive game graphically or gameplay-wise.
>I don't care
>proceeds to throw 10 buzzwords in a row
assmad
>You're using my trigger words!!! That shows you care!!!
Mindbroken.
>ctrl+f Mindbroken
>7 found
Literally autistic, nobody cares about your
>Can't even finish his post because of how mad he is.
OH NO NO NO NO NO NO!!! AIEEEEE!!!! YOU MISSED THE 2 MINUTE WINDOW XIV-KUN!!! YOU'RE NOT GONNA MAKE THE DPS CHECK!!!!
>AIIIIIIIE NONONONO
>it's literally the same schizo who keeps getting banned
My sides, get help
>Sees a common Ganker meme and immediately stats imagining bogeymen.
>Posts this stupid fricking lalafell, exposing himself as a twitch moron who exclusively picked up the game at the end of Shadowbringers because streamers were shilling it.
Get the frick out.
You schizos keep giving yourselves away by how every one of your posts radiates the same specific kind of mental illness and use the same autistic tropes over and over again, get help, seriously.
>EWfetus tribalgay
Leave my game and stop shitting it up
You sound like a butthurt tribalist, WoW is so dead even the streamers they paid to play the game abandoned it after a day.
You wouldn't even have an issue admitting this if you weren't so butthurt about it
>WoW is so dead
No my problem.
>streamers
I don't care about any videogame streamer for any videogame and if you regularly spend time on twitch I look down on you.
wows downfall is their own fault and has nothing to do with xiv though
That is absolutely true.
which raises the question, why xiv was the only one able to capitalize in wow's downfall?
lost ark, new world, gw2, eso, tof, none of them were successful on getting a bigger piece of cake
brand name. square can release anything with the name 'final fantasy' and people will eat it up as long as its somewhat playable
It appeals to a wider audience, you got women who only care about dressing up and going to bars, you got the hardest raids in the entire genre while also having accessible dungeons for midcore players, which is where Wildstar messed up
>lost ark
korean and region locked, every single other non region locked game can potentially benefit from memes, like the twinning meme
>new world
didn't it have insane server issues?
>tof
if it's the chink game it might as well as be another genre
I'd guess it just managed to bring new people in. XIV at its core is a MMORPG for people who don't really need to like MMOs or RPGs. The vast majority of the game is focused around soloing a very lengthy main single-player quest. While there's padding in terms of dialogue / cutscenes and running from point A to point B, there's no actual gameplay grind or anything that really encourages or forces you to interact with other people, aside from the completely optional post-game content or crafting stuff that's almost completely just cosmetic fluff. Progression is completely streamlined because there's no builds, and you can easily get carried through normal content without really having to optimize rotations assuming you're playing a DPS.

It's an MMO for people who hate MMOs. It's just a more streamlined WoW. A more efficient version of the WoW cancer.
>tribal moron who is obsessed with WoW calling anyone a tribalist
Lol, lmao even. Do you even look in a mirror?
>FFXIV players shortly after
they were always like this
Square enix bled away all of it's environmental artists around the time the merger happened.
what video game?
>Tfw 3 thousand hours played and never joined an FC
Modders always win
what did they win?
have a nice day mmoBlack folk
>still need 1.4 million MGP for the mount
>my will is already broken
j-just 1400 more chocobo races bros...
I notice every shitposter lately is accusing all dissent of being Shadowbringers starters
Yeah we're all coordinating in the exact same discord to make fun of you and we're also all Barry and in the same guild in WoW. We also invented the term Wrathbaby and the "sneed" meme.
>Barry Discord
Sorry we're a Pablo Discord Black person
It's not possible for one obsessed poster to have a favorite insult, it has to be a shadowy cult conspiracy.
t. butthurt shadowbaby
>barry actually runs a discord server which he advertises in both of his twitter accounts all entirely dedicated to be buttmad about XIV
Reality is often stranger than fiction.
Australia needs better access to mental health
I miss Gauss Barrel
it's ugly
I miss DRK's second combo animations though
What second combo
im getting too old for this shit
Are you thinking opf WAR?
no?
?t=24
>Power Slash
>Scourge
>Darkside
>Butcher's Block
>Deliverance
>Unchained
Truly a crime we can't at least replace the shittier looking animations with these cooler ones.
I loved the R-Type reference but hated it being on my gun 24/7. Sage's little Gradius ships on the Manderville weapon filled that hole in my heart
same because i could never get into any of the other jobs that use a cast timer. i also miss how brd and mch contrasted each other by supporting casters and melee respectively
i feel bad for zooms who never got to play HW drk
