0/10 no femhroth reveal
Fujo game. Deal with it.
Not enough Lalafel chin
Spending 30 minutes on a barely discernible lala chin is so based it’s unreal
No hrothmommies/10, absolute fricking garbage.
>New Alliance Raid is XI
Anyone that has questions about XI, I am more than willing to answer them. Lore, game, or otherwise.
Heard there’s a Cloud of Darkness in XI too only much more dangerous, what’s her deal there?
CoD in Xi has a revelation that every CoD in FF is the same entity, not only that but is also a representation of The Void itself.
Probably the Warrior of the Crystal (You) him/herself, but outside that probably Ragelise?
I hope Balamor shows up, but his skeleton and animations are probably too complex for XIV's engine to handle.
Honestly if they're smart, they'll stick to 75 era stuff.
Each raid being one of the 3 expansions
First is ROTZ, second is COP, third is TOAU
CoD is an endgame scenario which gradually voids out the entire world except for a bamboo thicket where your future self fricks up trying to stop it by becoming a literal god, so you send your future daughter back in time to repeatedly sacrifice herself to get your past self powerful enough to save the future while your evil twin also tries to stop you.
Who is the biggest gigachad in the game?
Are private servers better than official?
Only if you have 5 friends to play with.
Only if you have friends, otherwise Retail is your best bet
With The Void and Interdimensional Rift stuff that originates in XI with stuff like the aforementioned CoD or Shantotto, having crossovers not only isn't a big deal, it's canon. You can see in
The different planets/galaxies, that's a representation of the Rift that excuses things like why Ariana Grande, Fall Guys, & Tomb Raider are all canon in FF.
Considering they're reworking even the models as addressed in the keynote, we can have hope.
>from one void to another
You'd think us traveling to the edge of the universe would've had something about this be relevant, but at this point they clearly don't plan ahead so whatever, Cloud of Darkness probably isn't even relevant to the crossover
someone's telling me XI's lore and world work so very distinctly that it'd be hard to cross over with XIV beyond Iroha without weird issues arising, so what are your thoughts on that
Cloud of Darkness was basically the final boss of XI as a whole and I think threatened a collapse of the entire universe or something?
what is the player character called? Does he have any love interest? Any female that shows interest in him? Explain the plot
>what is the player character called?
Warrior of the Crystal
>Does he have any love interest?
>Any female that shows interest in him?
Yes, the main Heroines all show interest in WoC
>Explain the plot
Long ago the Shadowlord and his armies of Beastmen invaded the lands, you as a new Adventurer take up missions with your starting Nation that eventually leads to a confrontation with the Shadowlord. The Base XI story is pretty bland, however the expansions' stories are where it picks up as they explore the World & history of Vana'diel. From ancient races, to heavenly wars, through time, & to hell itself.
>the main Heroines all show interest in WoC
But what if I play a girl?
Then you're "Really good friends" in dialogue, seriously they remove all romance text if you play a female
Nashmeira is a "Wow Aphmau, how come you get two boyfriends?!" situation.
Just in case it doesn't get said, I'll be in future XIV threads in case anyone has more questions about XI. I'm excited for Dawntrail myself.
Nashmeira wasn't in love with the Adventurer, she was for Luzaaf
The other ones and basically all of the sub heroines in CoP wanted his dick though
Arciela and Iroha my beloveds
has the FFXI main story actually ended? Or is it still ongoing? I know it's in maintenance mode, not sure what that exactly means though
>has the FFXI main story actually ended?
The main story ended with Seekers, but they still have side expacs.
The Main Story of XI as a whole ended in 2015 with Rhapsodies of Vana'diel, the expansion after The Voracious Resurgence is a post-script Epilogue that wrapped up loose ends and close certain doors.
It's currently in a quite literal maintainence mode as they have stopped creating new content all together and are just cycling monthly content.
XI never had a "main" story in the sense XIV does.
Each expansion was it's own story and you could do them in any order.
When the game was winding down, they did a story scenario that tied all the stories together as one final hurrah for everyone to close the game out with.
Structure wise with the reveals CoP definitely comes after RoZ

Can't believe Yoshi actually filibustered a fricking live letter talking about lalafell chins
WoW > FFXIV
Prove me wrong.
FFXIV > WoW
there, you're wrong
>better story
WOW currently has a better story than FFXIV, one reason EW is so disliked
>better graphics
lol no. To make FFXIV look remotely good, you need a plugin that breaks ToS. try again
>better music
Also no. XIV has the quantity but not the quality.
>jobs/classes are actually balanced
No way. FFXIV classes are boring and soulless.
>respects your time
WOW respects way more of your time.
>gathering/crafting
Crafting and gathering is insane in WOW DF. There is a huge overhaul that will be industry standard soon
>more challenging raids
Wrong again. WOW has the best difficult raids
>dev communication
Hell. No. HELLLLLLL NO. WOW team is killing it with their community support. The social media teams, dev teams and forums are extremely transparent.
>community
XIV community is a cult.
>dyeable gear
No way bro is comparing transmogs....FFXIV transmog is a shitshow. I need to run around and click through confusing menus to make my mog in XIV. WOW you can do it in 1 click. What was that about respecting time?
FFXIVbros...what original insult will we use this time?
Final Fantasy XIV does what World of Don'tcraft.
There's no greater insult than only 2 class pbe forums being responded to by devs while the other 12 get left in the dust in WoW.
WOW don't have FallGuys®,so FFXIV win.
I'm not reading all that.
FF XIV > dogshit >>>>>> WoW
>I like WOW wieners, WOW dicks, WOW farts, cucking for WOW, and WOW up my ass!!
Of course you do, Blizzcuck.
>WOW currently has a better story than FFXIV
WOW has no story.
The Blue dragons story in WoW had me more invested than 2 years of voidshit and the poo whining about his sister.
Talk about wasted potential, the devs have no idea what to do with the First Brood anymore.
honestly, almost perfect, it would be perfect if they showed this new content and didn't move it to the next fanfest but w/e
>WHAT WAS MISSING

>Fallguys shit
>The obvious FFXVI collab to try and get the XIVgays to buy a PS5
16 is coming to PC
I know I'm a boomer but wtf is fall guys?
a game that was pretty popular 2 years ago but fell off cause the only way to play it now is via egs
Funniest part of all of this is that Epic recently fricking obliterated the dev studio that makes Fall Guys after the game choked and died because of egs exclusivity. I think within the last month, even.
>Here's a crossover event to promo both games!
>dev studio demolished before one half of this crossover even releases
They should have done a granblue crossover.
My expectations for EU fanfest were low but holy frick
Both fanfests have been shit so far. At least JP gets all the hype stuff like the job action trailer so it'll be hard to frick it up.
JP Fanfest will spend the last fourth with some kind of JP only promotion. The third Shadowbringers one was about the live action show/movie.
I can already hear the ultimategays getting uppity they are only getting one.
>No corsair

You know you can still buy them right? That's how little people care. Not only did it not instantly sell out, tickets are still available this long after going on sale.
Viper kinda killed my hype. Its literally the most boring possible option.
Disappointed about no Corsair but Viper looks cool.
Surprised about a second limited job.

The idea of using a regular dog or wolf as a mount always seemed idiotic. It only ever looked cool in Warcraft
>Cape bisecting the stupid dog.
They didn't even try
i'll probably enjoy Viper, but honestly I dunno what to think about the underwhelming announcements. Tural looks so boring like a hybridization of Thanalan and Thavnair with a bit of Azim Steppe, I don't have positive feelings about another limited job seeing as Blu already barely exists, and the graphics update highlights were so fricking abysmal man.
they tried to make it seem at least vaguely like Dawntrail was ambitious, but in the end it's just another expansion for good or bad.
It's true that it's still a mostly "by the books" expansion, no argument.
That said, BLU is hype and I'm happy to see if they can make another limited job feel as good as it does. If it comes with unique gameplay stuff like BLU is, I'll be happy
WHERE
IS
BLITZBALL
Never ever.
Now get back in the cuckshed with the CORgays.
nin is my main so im looking forward to viper
>Could've had a sword breaker evade/debuff tank with one debuffing sword and one attacking sword

Do you know what game you're talking about? a debuff job is NEVER happening
Nor is an evasion tank

Viper literally looks like a mod pack or some shit.
more like Yawntrail lmao
yawnfail
happy ill have a reason to use scouting gear without being a weeb or a buttpirate
Viper looks like nothing, there's no theme or identity other than "lmao 2sword". I don't understand how anyone can possibly think it looks interesting.
Better than corsair because only thing COR had going for it was the headcanon it would carry around a literal cannon for big attacks. Seems fine and will probably have Swordsaint slashing attacks in both modes since its the focused dwing part.
>the headcanon it would carry around a literal cannon for big attacks
Think this is just your headcanon buddy, most people just wanted to Leaden Salute shit in FFXIV too
There is nothing interesting about black powder peashooting between hack and slash. It would have easily been the most underwhelming melee to exist without a 21 gun salute. At least now they can do stupid shit like the spiral sweep or whirlygig about like a homosexual.
I didn't even know shit was going on, what got shown?
yoship did a goatse and left
>Graphics update
>Actually were reducing the graphics by magic the AuRa horns/scales less shiny than what we initially showed
So this is the power.......of the graphics update.
I wonder if this was because some japanese autists complained about it
The dev team has admitted they only listen to the Nips so it has to be.
See you in 3 months bros
>muh bozja
kek. eat shit losers. bozja was dogshit.
The instanced field zones were meh, but the open instances there (IE not fricking DR) were hype. I loved CLL's dual boss

ok, explain what truly impressed you

I think I'll sit back and watch all of you seethe endlessly for another 10 years like he is

yeah you did

what did truly impress you from what was shown?
his onesies already
>i just asked a simple question
>what did truly impress you from what was shown?
SIR. WHAT DID TRULY IMPRESS YOU FROM THE EVENT OF THE STREAM?
I don't really have a stake in this, but it's pretty obvious you're just asking it to go "haha that was it?" or some other jape to dismiss anything he says.
It feels like this entire thread is just going to be you trying to get the joke off and him not rising to it
Ironic
Viper looks like the DD2 mystic spearhand without any of the cool magic stuff. Just a homosexual twirling his batons and prancing about.
Are you ready for him in the new AR?
We killed him in Eureka
That's not Absolute Virtue, dumbass. It's Promathia
What a dumbass name
They did say this expansion takes place in the West..
Reminds me of Penetrator from Demon Souls
looks like some space alien shit, ultima race confirmed for new antagonists?
Promathia's Dawn fight was pretty kino
CoD probably isn't involved no, CoD is just a representation of The Void/Emptiness.
The important thing to remember with Japanese storytelling when it comes to crossovers, is that they will make excuses to do whatever they want regardless if it makes sense or not. See: The many many timeline & Universe resets of Toei's Super Sentai/Kamen Rider
They pretty much follow Monkey Punch's rules for Lupin the 3rd, "The Rule of Cool: If it looks cool, do it!"
Viper lives or dies depending on if the weapons can be asymmetrical or not
It's dead then. They're never doing split gear again.
>Weapons have to be able to be joined together
They're not doing assymetrical stuff.
WoL looks very happy in destabilizing a region by murdering its leader
If there are no other villains left to challenge you then sometimes you have to become the villain.
Zenos was right again
Always was.
>WoL looks very happy in destabilizing a region by murdering its leader
There's something odd about WoL's prespective, it's offputting
I just realized the As in the naime are swooping towards each other, like the shape of a sunrise.
bro? your sword?
I mean Juan is a dead ringer for Will Turner with that hairstyle and get up

Man duel swords are kino when it’s not some gay curved homosexualry or nipshit
>the local savages woman are in there? It's colonization time baby
Oh no no no...
NOT LIKE THIS!
Another fricking limited job
PLACE YOUR BETS!
Beast master obviously.
Wasn't the doomposting "they'll never do a new limited job because BLU was a failure and they don't want to admit it!"?
So why the shift in narrative? You're not being disingenuous, are you?
bluer mage
They're announcing stuff that won't be in for over a year after DT comes out, that's real struggle.
>BST is 3 years away
cowboy musketeer
>wont come until near the end of dawntrail's lifecycle.
>obviously fishing for ideas from the crowd so they can figure out the most popular one to work on
they're reworking summoner again into a limited job to finally put it out of its misery
It can't be anything Yoshi-P mentioned, so it's not Beastmaster or Puppetmaster.
But since he did mention how the Amano art is very FF3-like, imagine if it was Freelancer, where it's using new abilities inspired from the other Jobs.
I would fricking LOVE a freelancer/mimic type limited job that got to use all the old deleted actions.
Shit that's a good point. It could bring back animations that were removed over time, like DRG's AOE. Ring of Thorns was it?
My dream is to have a limited job with a set limit of actions/traits to select from all the jobs you have leveled, but to use something like midare you'd need to take at least meikyo and all 3 finishers, plus the iaijutsu trait. Messing around with a bunch of combinations would be a lot of fun.
Wonder if it will have its own solo content, or if they'll just retool the Carnivale for it.
2 more weeks until blizzcon
I like that the new job, doesn't seem too flashy while still having a cool moveset.
It honestly looks kinda cool, name is dumb
I know there were anons asking for a double sword job for years
It also seems to be inspired by Zidane so we'll see if that buff is like trance
HERE YOU GO VIPERS, this is the Scouting set version of Gabranth's armor. This is as close to Judge that you will ever look.
Um, actually that's judge bergan's armor
Can't wait. I collected all of those sets back in the day for just this occasion.
Maybe I should go and finally do DRS just so I can get a dyeable version of this
IT'S FRICKING ZEROMUS
>hay guys it's summer beach episode scions get to have a more casual adventure for once
>but of course we have death weapons and your expectations will be subverted
Only absolute morons expected an entire expansion to be an anime beach episode.
I knew there would end up being larger stakes, Estinien cheekily lampshading that a hunt for a treasure led to saving an entire Shard made it clear that the characters aren't even surprised about the scale anymore. But I'd hope for at least something more personal and direct, something lower stakes like a national conflict or direct intrigue for the cast, and hoped they wouldn't jump right back to fricking megadeath ancient technology weapons yet again
They really should have grown some balls and left the Scions out of this one. Erenville and the WoL and maybe Krile would've been enough and a better path in my opinion.
we already killed zeromus dumbass
Zeromus (Ivalice)
No Clive/Jill hairstyle sucks, but you kind of expect it from this game these days.

No job news.
No limited job news.
No hroth reveal.

>we have already dealt with the universe ending threat and biggest villans in the world
It's IMPOSSIBLE to make us feel like there's any stake left, we have dealt with the final boss and that will never be able to change. No matter what they make us face it will look like peanuts compared to what we've done.
It was supposed to be COR...
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CORSAIR!!!
i thought we were getting two jobs
>i thought we were getting two jobs
The other job is limited, but coming at a later time after 7.0's launch.
I don't count "limited jobs" like BLU as a job.
There's still the caster they have yet to reveal.
The other is a caster
No corsair = instant trash.

Lalafell player autism on full display.
Why are they like this?
they did say they were going to try to keep the models from changing drastically so as to not frick up people's characters, but at this point I think they really don't realize what they were inciting people to think
REMINDER THEY WILL USE THIS UPDATE THAT TAKES LITERALLY A COUPLE DAYS FOR A DEV TEAM AS AN EXCUSE TO NOT DELIVER CONTENT
>PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE GRAPHICAL UPDATE IS VERY RESTRAINING AND WE HAD TO DIVIDE IT AND EVEN THEN

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYAYAYAYAYAYAYA
why did they say that zones name was a secret and then two seconds later tell us what it was called? I don't understand
The zone's name isn't the secret. The "secret" is some structure in the background they don't want to show yet.
No, there is a secret in the zone and they covered it up with the SECRET sticker
thanks, I wonder what it's gonna be then. maybe more allagan tech?
Job sucks ass
Graphical update sucks ass
Story already looks showing signs of moronation
Atrocious
So this means BLU was a success? because doesn't make sense to make another limited job if it wasn't
A massive success
>The entire twitch category for FFXIV is almost entirely people with #AD (with a giant "THIS STREAM IS SPONSORED BY SQUARE ENIX" logo on their screens) in their title watching Fanfest
>99% of these streamers have never even played this game and never will
Holy shit Yoshi needed to literally inflate the twitch view numbers by PAYING streamers to stream this shit.
Everyone does that now with either paid sponsorships or drops, sometimes both. Stop being a disingenuous moron for once in your life.
Plus wasn't Twitch doing something with making drops or "bounties" easier/automated now?
Did you know sponsored streams are automated and no one hires anyone?
It's just companies putting up a bounty on the game then they review the stream and accept it if someone streamed it properly
Wow, you literally have YoshitPiss's wiener balls deep in your throat you stupid homosexual
The game had bounties going up every month for 3 years now, but you're only seething now, what gives?

if blizzcon was like ff14 fanfest blizz would be declared dead on the spot. absolute joke
this is what is baffling to me. every other vidya company coming out with a presentation like that would've been laughed and spit at
then you have unironic shills on fricking Ganker out of all places defending that shamefur dispray
Because it's self-contained, the only people who watch fanfest are people who enjoy XIV. It's not like a platform showcase where they have to grab literally everyone's attention.
>Because it's self-contained
no its not, because I assume most of you have experienced other games or media
this is pathetic
Nobody cares doomers. Blizzcon does nothing special with their presentations either, they just have more of it because they talk about every game they are currently developing and future games. Fan Fest is one game.

>Nice lie, other gay furry, you can't out content me.
Play the game while using Aethersense.
I don't think people really appreciate how risky graphically updating people's characters is in an MMO. It's within their best interests to not change things too much and gauge people's reactions to things because it's the kind of thing that probably will make people unsub more than anything else if they frick it up.
modbeasts and fantasiatrannies change their shit every day
who gives a frick
this, mhiggas who care are already modding anyway
except for possibly soon to be vocal japs
I remember how utterly fricked the WoW graphic updates were. Characters suddenly went from fantasy comic book cartoony designs to manfaces, the gnomes became hilariously fricked up and so much other shit.
it completely destroyed my characters look. i stuck with the old models for as long as i could
just give everyone a free fantasia then

IT'S NOTHING BUT A ROGUE/THIEF AAAAAAA
It's just Reaper again but without the spooky ghost
Being a full Rogue/Thief would've actually been more interesting
I wish it were just Thief.
Viper is such a shit name for a job.
Yes like, why viper? just because vipers have two fangs and the job uses two jobs? the job is going to have aether viper like dragoon does?
not that surprising. Viper is practically "what if Rogue decided they wanted to actually hunt shit instead of throw mudras"
it's hilarious that Scouting is now stuck between Naruto and Kirito
Not even, it's just a weird, uninspired garbage mess.
I don't know if New World even has jobs/classes, but this would fit perfectly into it.
WHERE THE FRICK IS THE CATBOY'S EARS?

Miqo'te players b***hing again
Miqo'te players hate the ears fricking up every hood except the nier one and most helmets.
Thank vieras and hrothgars for this design choice. We are literally never going to get good-looking head gear again because of muh limited races.
This is the hint that hroth and viera are getting hats, they're just going to normalize cutting off the ears
Why are you sperging out? It makes sense a fricking hood would cover cat ears, they aren't made of stone.
put a sheet over your irl cat's head right now and let me know if you don't see his ears sticking out moron
They don't because a cat's ears retract and flatten because they're sensitive
Ears? Where is his hairstyle? It's another fricking hood that makes you bald
The way to go with non human ears is either picrel or holes in the hood. What the game has currently is plain stupid. Literal ear socks
You can thank Hrothbvlls. First, they took your women. Now they took your ears.
maybe but I'm only doing it for the main questlines I don't care to stick around once I'm done with RoV (not even gonna try VoRe)
XIV still has my attention but regardless I wish XI wasn't as janky, stunning things and stuff is really wonky because of all the lag and while I get that people appreciate gearswapping it's not appealing to me
Don't care much for grinds either, I'll shamelessly admit I've never been into "real" MMOs and only circumstancially ended up trying XIV as an FFgay.
Are all Viper players into semen retention?
They are into semen consumption.

Why does a job that wields one-handed swords have such slow combat? I know the GCD is slow in this game but holy frick this looks bad for a class like this which should be super fast-paced.
why does this look like it came out in 2001
demonstrations are usually pretty shit. it sounds a lot like it's an oGCD weaver, probably more Gunbreaker than Reaper in that aspect, but guess we'll just have to see.
It's just showcasing the animations with pauses in between, not back to back GCD combat.
excuse me yoshida-san said the job is HIGHLY TECHNICAL
They only showed the basic 123 combo and probably one oGCD. They also had to let the animations play out since it's a preview.
They weren't optimizing weaving and shit for a brief showcase. Watch old action trailers for Ninja, they play it slow as hell too.
>Why does a job that wields one-handed swords have such slow combat?
>Yoshi-P to IGN Brasil
"That's a difficult question," begins Yoshi-P. "We have skill rotations varying between 60 and 120 seconds for the most intense phases and that's how it works currently. But the reason it's like this today is that we've received, in the past, feedback from all over the world saying that the timing of fights were difficult, it was difficult to align skills between classes, we were asked to unify everything, and precisely because we received these requests to homogenize this, we homogenized it"."
They show it doing two different combos, one off-GCD (which you can tell when someone has a blue aura around them), activating the trance mode and hitting the same move 3 times that becomes available.
>activating the trance mode

It is what, the fifth time they changed monk in the latest expansion? Come on
I hate when I am mid RoF burst with 6s left on demolish. I am not exactly a pro but sometimes I just go with the flow and forget to realign buff/debuff properly
Why do people say Viper is like Zidane from FFIX? He never used swords, only daggers like Rogue/Ninja
Viper combines the two swords into a twin blades sword
people freaked out in chat as if they finally got to play as Zidane, but Rogue has been in the game for years
He had the exact same "two weapons fuse into one" twinblade gimmick.
?
his main weapons were always two handed daggers, but there are a few that are two daggers stuck together yeah. But he never used two long swords like Viper does
the thing is as fricking big as he is
also in IX they're refered to as "Thief Swords"
This is especially dumb because NIN already uses "daggers" that are as large as swords
Zidane is very short
It's true Zidane has a twinblade but the job is literally a plagiarism of Groh moveset
nobody cares about your failed genre fightiBlack person
Bold move posting this in an MMO thread of all things.
MMOs are still more popular than fighting games
Only because women and trannies play mmos more than fighting games. Congrats
>y-yes but-!!

>American gender
Jesus, it keeps getting worse...
So GG been psyopped every since that unfortunate Bridget debacle? Very sad to see.
The NA anime scene used to be bullied by every other fighting game community for its attitude and drama. Not anymore.
MMOs are on their way out the door mate. Gachas have replaced them because they're cheaper to make and they've mastered the art of fleecing money out of people. The lack of the MMO part is a nonissue because modern MMO players are really antisocial anyways.
>MMOs are on their way out the door
sure they are
been hearing this since I played shovelware kmmos 15 years ago
unlike fighting games that actually fricking died before SF4 brought it back (poorly)
When XIV dies there will be nothing left to replace it.
Who the frick ever thought mmos were on the way out 15 years ago, on the absolute peak of wow?
Not even comparable to the deplorable state they're in right now.
That moveset was ripped off fricking Dynasty Warriors
Cool. Love me musou

Holy frick are people stupid.

Are you ready for blinding new skills?
always makes me laugh
I love how everyone memed the frick out that Scholar skill and it turned out to be pretty fricking broken.
Everyone that actually plays the game knows that an extra sprint you can give to the whole party is really good, but the whole point is they barely give a shit about SCH thematically and really don't know what else to do with it.
Scholar had a theme. They just ripped it out of them when they had to make all the healers exactly the same.
Reminder that out of all of these abilities, the Scholar one is the only one they had to nerf for being too powerful in raids.
This is the shit I hate about scholar, it's extremely unfun to play in comparison to the other healers but what it does is so incredibly effective so it won't get touched by the QoL stick. Lustrate is an outdated skill, aetherflow is just dismal when sage gets the more flexible 20s charge time, dissipation affects exactly 2 spells and STILL encourages people to use it for dps.
>are you ready to see the BLM lv100 ultimate attack
>covers the entire screen in nothing but nuclear hellfire
>now here's the scholar lv100
>everyone just becomes ghosts to phase through attacks for 10 seconds
>Spoiler
Oh so a genuinely useful raid utility.
part of the joke but yes
That spoiler would instantly make me switch back to SCH
They've always had soulful ways to add actions to jobs that aren't just damage or mit that makes me disappointed
Like MCH could get a dummy robot that you can place to stand in spot for mechanic
Or BRD gets some song barrier to nullify next hit taken
And DNC gets... I dunno but Expedient was the only time in a while they actually made an interesting skill for a game that should be an MMO
Always a classic
NINbros... I don't WANT to share armor...
the number of people who play nin is already low enough already,it be funny if viper some how filtered out morons too

What's funny is Yoshi-P's costume had a little pistol like that on his back. But it wasn't in game.

The so called graphics update is on par with shit like OW1 and OW2 lmfao.
The entire point of the graphics update was to fix what was "broken" so yeah?
Utterly unimpressed with the Viper reveal just from an aesthetic perspective. Green mage is my only hope.
Green mage is gonna be even worse at this rate.
i don't know why anyone is hype for a new caster DPS
frick's sake RDM is just sorta there and SMN got kneecapped entirely, the only way I see a new caster being anything interesting is by straight up not playing like the casters, and at that point what's the point

I doubt it, Soken didn't touch Ivalice raids at all
zivtrannies aren't gonna suck him off once again about how he's so creative despite the songs being from XI
Mark my words... they're going to use music from RotZ
He's gonna butcher it (Or they're just going to secretly have Mizuta as a guest composer and have him remaster it)
They're not going to remix anything, it will be like Return to Ivalice where they just use all the OG tracks. We already got a handful of them in Baldesion Arsenal.

You people are so fricking disingenous and moronic. This scene would have been 100% okay with you if it was two white guys. Frick outta here.

BUT VIBRANT COLOR = troony SHIT!! IF YOU LIKE THIS YOU'RE TRANS BY ASSOCIATION!!!!!
I'm a mite annoyed about the Azem crystal keychain being cut from the goodie bags. Otherwise I'm having fun, keynote was good.
All you gays crying about Viper have proven that XIV is the only FF game you have played.
Where is the armor moron
yes? why would I play weeb homosexual shit
at least this is mmo and I can kill bosses with the boys
How to get his beard bros
Keep an eye out for all of the """"content creators""" to make videos complaining that none of the complaints they made 2 weeks ago were addressed/fixed in this keynote as if they didn't already have 80% of Dawntrail completed several months ago.
The fact anyone is surprised this is the same shit as usual are fricking moronic.
After Endwalker being the end of Hydaelyn saga people expected for things to change, but nothing really changed. Why did they rush to the ending if everything is the same.
ANY NEWS ON DRG REWORK???????????
that shit isn't gonna be announced till just before the release.
Purease rook forward to it.
You got a taste in the trailer with Estinien, no more Life of the Dragon by the looks of it.
>summer vacation gays, corsairgays, and femhrothgays BTFO all at once
Pretty damn funny. Not impressed with Viper but might be fun I guess, need the media tour already.
Odds that one of the pre-order bonuses for dawntrail is a Zidane weapon skin for Viper weapons?
100%
Most likely a minion too
it's probably going to be a FF12 skin from some Gabranth, since Zidane's job (Rogue) has been in the game for many years
I unironically hope the alliance raid will open the door to them finally merging the XIV and XI subs. That way if I have nothing to do in XIV I can just spend my sub money playing a better game.
Just like how the Nier alliance raid gave you Nier Automata for free, right?
Viper reveal was great.
XI alliance raid as the potential to be amazing
Everything else could have just been a lodestone post. Graphics update continues to underwhelm.
JP fanfest better knock it out of the fricking park.

"Original" jobs are a fricking mistake.
Frankly I'm tired of them taking names of pre-existing FF jobs and then they don't even remotely resemble their origins past the title
Better than SMN and RDM being unable to work inside of XIV's system.
RDM really should have been Rune Fencer, they could have even kept the roguish aesthetic
Better that than garbage like "Sage", which has literally nothing to do with the Sage job from old FF games.
I like it so far. The only bad thing here was the graphical "update". The game still looks like shit and they are still not dropping ps4 support which killed any hope of meaningful visual improvement anyway.
They dropped PS3 support in 2017 and there was no graphics improvement. Once they drop PS4 support in 3 years, there will still be no significant graphics improvement. If you genuinely think the PS4 isn't capable of better graphics than this, I don't know what to tell you.
Is Estinien now the new posterboy for XIV? Literally the longest showing in the trailer. I shouldn't be surprised the fricking game is just fujo bait at this point.
I don't like his ponytail.
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOO I WANTED LE HECKIN BEACH FILLER EPISODE WHERE NOTHING HAPPENS
I'm glad you gays got btfo
Who are you quoting?
You.
We tried to tell them since the first trailer that they weren't getting an entire expansion as a filler beach episode but they didn't listen.
I do hope the lore on Viper is properly fleshed out. Conceptually its cool but the reveal lacked fluff to make it seem more than Witcher meets Bloodborne hunter with some Zidane and Gabranth.
They stopped caring about job background a long time ago. You'll get something like RPR, at best.

I wonder if it's going to have a stance switching gimmick.
>implying it's not just going to be an inner release type deal where you stay in it for x attacks and then exit.
I doubt that, since we see the character switch up stances after a normal GCD.
It could end up being something like Demon Hunter in D3. Opposite Builder spender. Dual blade builds for Combo Blade.
Though not really enough shown to see more than one Combo blade move
>stance switching in current ffxiv
Of course not. You do 123 to build gauge then enter dual mode to spend gauge then go back to 123. It's DRG with swords.
it's going to be enshroud without the shitty outfit
I won't lie, I really thought Yoshida was about to announce a combined XIV/XI sub. He really had me.
his outfit doesn't seem "viper' to me in the cutscene at least.
He can't have XIV player realizing how much they got swindled by playing a good MMO
I think they exist on opposite ends. XIV is fast and easy to digest but rather shallow. XI is a slow burn with many intricacies but it's incredibly obfuscative.
>XIV is fast
ahahahahahhahaa
Frankly for a tab targeting MMO, yes, yes it is fast. Like straight up constant movement, little downtime despite how many of you consider GCDs a cardinal sin, bosses are designed like wannabe action-lite. It's not GW2 or some other MMOs out there, but anyone who thinks XIV is slow doesn't know shit.
It's considerably less responsive than WoW, though they have taken measures to improve that with the latest expansions. The game's responsiveness is ultimately shafted by netcode and animation locks, and you can specially tell at the start of new patches when NoClippy/XivAlexander are disabled.
>Frankly for a tab targeting MMO, yes, yes it is fast.
No it isn't. Virtually every tab target mmo of note has had faster gameplay than FFXIV.
>OF note

Or do you mean all the modern ones built AFTER this game?

So name the OTHER tab targeting games that are better. That was the point of what the OP said..
If you plan is to say Well GW you do realize there are a ton of ovther tab targeting games that exsisted before wow.

Jan 7
It was obvious to be Tokyo with 6.5.5 with the new npc reveal dropping the week after.
I've been playing since just before the lev update in 2.1. I don't really login anymore because there is nothing to do. I don't really care about raiding since most of the gear is ugly as frick and I don't like having to show up at a certain time to play a video game like being in a bowling league. I don't care about the other content like the island because it won't make my character stronger. I don't need gil because I got lucky selling off event furnishing shit for billions of it. Housing is boring since it does nothing and there is no simulation element to it like building stuff for an npc army would be cool but it's all just barbie dream house shit. So why even bother to login anymore? Do I do it just to watch a couple story CS's?
As someone whole loved Rogue but hated how they ruined it by "upgrading" it to shitty Ninja aesthetics. Viper is like a dream come true.
Am I going to have to get on a private server and try to speedrun beat this game in half a year now?
t. guy who tried to convince his dad to buy him this game in 2002 but he said "$200 for a single game? no we're not doing that" so I completely missed the glory years
Do not try to do XI's story on a private server. None of them work properly. They are purely there for the gameplay.
No. XI's story is very single player friendly now. XI has actual NPC companions throughout the entire game.
https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Quickstart_1-119_Guide
>this is the first thing on the FAQ
okay this is based
Already a better MMO than yoshitpiss slop
Yes XI players are mostly older men over age 30 who still talk with old internet slang
Ok real talk...why even keep XI alive still? Surely they do not make any profit keeping the servers up and allocating resources to it
As long as there are players willing to play they have to. They are japanese after all
It takes almost no money or time creating content for an engine that you've worked on for decades, plus the content is low poly as hell.
MMOs make most of their money years after release, to the point even tortanic made a huge profit.
You still get constant subs so why shut down that revenue?
>It takes almost no money or time creating content for an engine that you've worked on for decades
source?
>It takes almost no money or time creating content for an engine that you've worked on for decades
that's the kicker, they can't even create content for 11 anymore. they've got a tiny handful of the last working PS2 devkits in the entirety of the world, or at least Japan, and they don't want to keep stressing the units anymore after 20+ years. at this point it's never going to see anything new again, the game is unofficially retired
They did release content relatively recently tho, that's the point.
Either way, like other anons said the game is so old that maintenance is absolutely minimal and most likely shares the handful of GMs it has with 14, while getting constant subs.
It costs them basically nothing at this point to run a few servers and pay a few GMs given how many subscribers there still are.
probably costs pennies to run it from the janitors closet
They have said in Q&As that it still makes a profit, and that's just before XI added the monetary extra wardrobes for the hardcore players
Play Retail, use
My slampig waifu is cute
thankyou for an actual answer
Lots of people have given you some decent answers, but let me tell you the real reason.
XI is no longer it's own division, it's bundled into XIV financially.
Meaning, it's profits are XIV's profits in terms of accounting. If they were to shut down XI, it would look as if XIV has lost a bunch of money.
Yoshi would NEVER let that happen, he has too much pride for his baby.
The only way XI will shut down is when it becomes a loss. Which is unlikely, as your average FFXI player pays more than an FFXIV sub to play the game, because mog wardrobes are a thing.
Westwolves bros... what happened?

What's wrong with you?
XIVonlies are the mad ones man. They haven't touched XI because OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH THE CLUNKINESS so they can't pretend to be excited over the memberberries this time.
You're in a XIV thread, bro. You're the mad one here.
I played XI because it's a FF game. I play XIV because it's a FF game. There a problem?
best way to start in ffxi?
I need to play it now so I can understand the references when I shit on the alliance raid in dawntrail
HRTorizon sounds like a place where you’ll fit right in xister.
cool I'll look into it
At least the gear in XI generally looks fantastic and better than most everything in XIV so they’d have to actively try to frick up the sets for the alliance raids.
Someone actually explain to me why the Scions "disbanded" just to reunite in what is essentially a few months AT MOST in-game? Couldn't this new expansion just be our WoL going solo to adventure, and all of post-EW should have just been us having small adventures with the Scions as a final goodbye?
They don't even have to drop them from the game, they could have been new job quests like Y'Stola could introduce some cool BLM lore.
Because fujos would b***h about their boys not being around
No, you will have Alisae stealing all the spotlight again.
The way its presented so far. its going to be a "Coincidence" that we all show up in the same place. The issue being that each scion group has there own goal to get to at the end.
WOL is there to help pick next ruler
Thancred and Urianger there for some treasure hunt
Estinine there for fighting
Yshtola there for ruins
Everyone else is hanger on for WOL
To add to this i would bet first half of the game is going to be the comfy story before stuff starts to get strange and then the scions team up at the end of course.
You now remember that the entirety of Post-EW happened because Estinian coincidentally bumped into you at some map auction that secretly revealed a portal to hell.
I look forward to starting whatever problem that will snow ball for the next 10 years.
It had such potential... I'm reminded of Skalla, and how they managed to entwine "let's go on a treasure hunt" with "let's find funds for our reclaimed nation, with a cut for you of course".
"Disbanding" is a lie done purely so they aren't viewed as having political and social sway wherever they go. They want to be seen as a group of adventurers and not the saviors of the world.
As for why you can't even go a patch without them? They're too popular for the devs to risk swapping any of them out with newcomers. The only characters equal to them in popularity are dead.
>They're too popular for the devs to risk swapping any of them out with newcomers
fricking coward ass fujo writers still kill you off or write out the popular female characters though
I just wish they would bring in a couple of people that aren't part of the scions instead of exactly the same fricking group.
Bring in Magnai and Sadu they helped last time and they aren't fricking doing anything in their field.
Anon didn’t pay attention
>Someone actually explain to me why the Scions "disbanded" just to reunite in what is essentially a few months AT MOST in-game?
they knew the game wouldn't sell without the players parasocial relationship with Y'Shtola, et al.
Because
Start of ARR.
>The Scions are a secret organization with a network of contacts dedicated to making sure primals don't arise and destroy the land, the city states play nice (at least relatively) and Echo'd people have somewhere to go and learn about their powers. They also have a very strict policy of not getting more involved in politics than necessary because the Scions shouldn't be some cabal of secret rules or a political weapon for another party.
End of EW:
>No more primals, city-states are mostly fine now and running on their own, but Scions are extremely famous and influential and the secret organization shit went to hell because everyone knows about them by now. Only reason they could get called to Eorzea by now is that someone wants to use them politically. However, there's still more people out there that need help in foreign lands, shards, stars, whatever. So they announce out loud that they're disbanding so nobody expects anything from them anymore, but really they're just doing the same as always elsewhere.
Bring her back cowards
Holy shit, that animation has more life to it than FFXIV 2.0 combined.
Different engine
Like
said, 1.0 had that level of animation quality, so the engine can't be the problem
1.0 was made on a different engine than 2.0 though
how the frick is this animation better than anything I've ever seen in XIV outside of a few personal emotes that they never use in cutscenes
everyone wants to pretend that one of the reasons 1.0 flopped was because they blew their budget on too many things like "well animated scenes" like that's some kind of fricking excuse
>THE GAME WAS TOO WELL ANIMATED! THEY HAD TO RESORT TO EMOTES IN EVERY CUTSCENE AND AWKWARD MOVEMENT!
Because cutscenes in XI were one every 15 hours if you were leveling and completing quests quickly.
XIV would lose nothing if it cut out half of the forced emote cutscenes besides the padding that they use them for as level up mechanisms
Because 11 is objectively the better game, and has a lot of SOUL simple as
1.0 did have cutscenes on par with XI
how come this fricking 2002 game looks so much better than the current-gen mmo that preceded it
i don't recall a single cutscene in xiv with animation this lively or soulful
>i don't recall a single cutscene in xiv with animation this lively or soulful
Only legacy 1.0 players remember...
I remember it. It's just there were literally less than a dozen of these kind of cutscenes in it's entirety.
XIV's engine can't do it lol
there are a few cutscenes in XIV that can do stuff, and I mean, XVI is literally XIV engine but with a new graphics renderer on top hence why it runs like shit. the problem is these scenes are few and far between, and they tend to resort to motion capture, compared to XI straight up hand-animating its characters and scenes in old Squaresoft fashion
>XI music

This guy must think Soken is good.
You take that back

wow its fricking nothing

I just wanted corsair man.
10 years I asked for it.
I don't care if you laugh at me for it, I don't care, I care about getting fricked over it again.
I'm genuinely heart broken over it, not in a funny shit post way, I feel like shit.
I'm trying to not care too much. If there's a dual cutlass glam, I can at least have that. My character will be a corsair at heart anyway, and Viper seems like it might work just as well as GNB, SAM and MCH for the glam/rp theme.
Isn't corsair literally just MCH though?
corsair had a big gun and then gambled their buffs, big risk big rewards. machinist is basically ff6 edgar's random gimmick weapons and summoning a turret/robot as something made entirely from wholecloth for itself. corsair would arguably be closer to the musketeer class that never got implemented but still has its class place lying in limsa.
>big risk big rewards
I remember being on Ifrit server (Now Odin) and people paying me 100k per person if I rolled a 12. Corsairs were truly pirates.
What the frick?
No.
Corsair is about gambling and dual use of guns and sometimes swords.
In a more modern setting this would've probably include stuff like dice rolls, gold throwing, a cannonade for the LB, possible red mage like melee/ranged, etc.
It is until you get the turret then it's a sharp nosedive into gadgets and gizmos.
Hopefully the hub area for the FFXI raids will blast the playonline theme at 8000 dB just like old times
>Hopefully the hub area for the FFXI raids will blast the playonline theme at 8000 dB just like old times
Ah... memories.
My soul hurts.
There was NOTHING I could do to lower the volume of that that didn't also make FFXI's volume unbearably quiet. It was so loud I could hear it through my headphones on the other side of the house. I am amazed it didn't give me tinnitus.
>PIANO INTENSIFIES
>AOL CONNECTION NOISES
>DOOR SLAMMING NOISES
Ah... I loved POL
For me, it's
Wtf was PlayOnline anyway?
SE's online bridging service. Basically BattleNet/Origin/uPlay, it was an intermediary platform.
Half of a FF9 guide with some other stuff tacked on.
An early attempt of something like Steam that didn't take off.
As a FFXI oldgay, Playonline was a perephrial used to basically connect players together in FFXI. A desktop within a desktop so to speak.
You could customize it with music, backgrounds and more.
I personally loved the concept.

You are more than welcome to fill the thread up with XIV discussion then.
Oh wait.
You don't even have any content to talk about, just avatarhomosexualry LMAO
XI threads die instantly so it's no surprise you're here, you bitter clinger. Your game is dead, move the frick on.
Yeah I don't feel bad for talking about XI here because the threads were already starting to devolve into the same spergfest they always are. At least this is about video games, not whatever basement dweller some gay has beef with.
"old-school" MMOgays are funny.
>why is no one playing with me, don't you want to walk for five hours and then grind for ten hours and if you die you have to do it all again and you need to be in a party
Because your game is shit and I wouldn't play it?
>why aren't you playing a mmo like a mmo?
>because mmos are shit
The absolute state of modern players
That's fine, I wouldn't touch your shit game with a ten foot pole.
>it's shit on purpose
Sure? Then don't complain when the game is dead and no one plays it.
Gotta keep out the undesirables somehow. Sorry to hear that you're one of them.
That would require a desirable game first. Considering how many people are complaining they have no one to "manually form parties with" and to "talk to" in older MMOs, I'm pretty sure people have less tolerance for the shitty old MMO filler.
>and if you die you have to do it all again
Only idiots don't continue to get XP after leveling up to avoid hearing this.
It's a filter that actually works. XIV threads would be significantly better if XIV's autism check was harder.
They really are like vegans
>graphixu upudatu
So the rumors about Sakaguchi working on something in DT were false?
Yes. Just like COR.

nobody posted galka batman yet
{Galka Sausage} {Can I have it?}
wait what? roes had tails in XI?
and the Mithra were actually cat girls and not just girls with cat ears and tails. all of the races straight up got more humanized really fricking awkwardly for XIV's versions
The only important thing you need to know about Galka is that they are excellent miners.
Yes, the sacrifice? The had no dicks.
No, seriously.
>wait what? roes had tails in XI?
They were called Galka in XI.
FFXIV 1.0 (When Tanaka helmed it at the time) was supposed to be a bridge fro FFXI players, so they kept most concepts from XI's races with slight changes to make the transistion from XI to XIV1.0 easier.
Mithra > Miqo'te (Why miqo'te didn't have males at the time)
Galka > Roegadyn (Why they didn't have females at the time)
Elvaan > Elezen

Go make a XI thread then
>3 replies, falls to page 10
Oh, so that's why you're here.
>Go make a XI thread then
STFU, XIV wouldn't even be a thing if XI didn't succeed.
XI was a big flop. It wasn't even a real player during the MMO craze in the early 2000's.
That's also why 1.0 failed so hard, it was literally just XI-2 and it was exposed to the greater market. What a rude fricking awakening that was.
1.0 had way bigger problems than being XI-2. Actual XI players who were XIV's main audience at the time fricking hated it for a reason.
>XI was a big flop. It wasn't even a real player during the MMO craze in the early 2000's
lol WoW came after XI you know that right?
XI was an insignificant speck compared to western MMOs. Completely mogged on all fronts.
xiv replaced xi outright, and rips off tons of stuff from it liberally. naturally xi fans are gonna feel slighted
Longtime XI gay here. Actively play both games to this day.
Ganker has a pretty large cult following for XI, we have occasional threads, and they are often very chill.
The reason this issue specifically comes up, is that Yoshi seems to hate XI. He gutted the dev team/budget when he became head of the MMO division.
When he added in Eureka, he compared it to FFXI, which felt very insulting to me, as I found Eureka to be "FFXI if it was built by people that hated FFXI", which is kinda telling.
>Yoshi seems to hate XI
is that why he sucks it off every time he mentions it?
actions speak louder than the words of a pr guy
I want alliance raids to be content that expands on the world of XIV and isn't just fanservice for other games.
Also this is not a new thing. People criticized the Omega raids for just being shallow fanservice. People like older FF fanservice when it's sparse and properly weaved into the setting of XIV, not when it's just "we're gonna plop you in front of a classic boss for its own sake, have fun."
MMO players are tribalistic homosexuals

Well that was a mouthful
A mouthful of DOGSHIT
The skin textures are noticeably better but I don't like that the eyes lost their brightness.
It's the eyelashes, they made them bigger for some reason
You can't expect eyes to be that bright naturally without a light reflected into them
So basically the FFXI CG models are in real time now.
>assets become higher quality
>but they also lose their luster
jesus what happened to his collar is that just broken testing
It's obviously a detail texture
whats wrong with the collar? I like it
the white lining is entirely gone and the colors got fricked, it's blatantly some normalmapping or texture testing that isn't finished yet
>it's blatantly some normalmapping or texture testing that isn't finished yet
Well the screenshot does say that in the bottom left corner
>the light inside has gone out, but I still work
In awe at the armor upgrade
This is a much better example than the lalafel, why didn't they show this?
I hope every player gets a free Fantasia, the eyes are completely different color, I might want to change after
The color is the same. Eyes are simply not emanating light now. Moving the character in front of a light source should make the color more apparent
>Same exact shadows but the environment background is slightly more brighter contrast
hmm
Here's your second MSQ trial boss
Anon, they literally said that wasn't a trial boss.
>VPR is either going to have NIN's goofy aesthetic or NIN is going to be aesthetic cucked for a whole expansion
Yikes
know the pain of MNKgays when every striking set is for SAM ever since SB
Or worse, they do a moronic mix of both that ends up not fitting anyone like they often do with RDPS.
>He thinks it will just be for 1 expansion
Go compare the MNK gear before and after SB.
NIN is going to finally have decent glams BECAUSE of VPR.
Scouting armor is usually atrocious.
It's already going to share the same models as ranged or MNK/SAM anyways
If it doesn't star my wife who is still stranded in Eorzea I'm going to flip out.
We're probably getting Selh'teus and a Promathia finale
Soken has some banger battle music, but Mizuta's environmental music remains unmatched.

Is that the FFXI version of a Garlean?
No, those are their Mi'qotes
>Is that the FFXI version of a Garlean?
No, they're Miqo'te with actual armor
BLU AF, SOUL
I have to say, ToAU has some of the best armor sets XI had.
where'd you get this leaked photo of the new alliance raid gear sets?
>Samurai gear that isn't just gayass robes
they should put that shit in xiv asap
sorry, the best we can do is slight variations on the same red dress for the next 50 expansions
>they should put that shit in xiv asap
They already stole sets from XI, I can't see why they'd stop.
>tfw they already updated what was essentially the SAM AF for Tenzen to wear in the 30 seconds of cutscenes he appears in the Four Lords quest like but it’s unobtainablr
I thought that was that level 70 SAM body that people hsed as a cope if they didn't have haubergeon
I think it was nearly 1:1 with the equipment Tenzen actually wore which was close to the AF?
It’s been actual years since I looked closely at either.
I was thinking of this set but now that I compare they actually just used actual XI Tenzen's armor I think
Last year when i played FFXI i ran into mr happy while he was on stream and I called him a homosexual in the in-game world chat and then he blocked me
Subsurface scattering don't fricking fit FF14 you morons.
>muh realism
Frick off
Nose, mouth, ears, eyes and hair look very noticeably better. I wonder how lipsticks will look, I never use them now since they look so bad
I don't give a SHIT about updated character models, I want to see more old gear with the texture upgrades
>new graphics update in 7.0
>PC minimum specs raised
>PS4 still going strong
It was PC holding us back all these years. I'd been wondering why graphics didn't improve when PS3 was shut down 6 years ago. Now we know why.
game is going to work in 30fps at best on ps4 now
>zivtrannies want Vana'diel to be a shard
Once again
Death to anyone who's ever paid a 14 sub
It cannot be a shard. Vana'diel having real gods would frick up Etheirys' setting, and making those gods fakes would frick up Vana'diels setting. It has to be interdimensional rift shenanigans.
>Vana'diel having real gods would frick up Etheirys' setting, and making those gods fakes would frick up Vana'diels setting.
Etheirys takes priority. Vanadumb will be revealed to be fake and gay.
Etheirys is a gay, boring, and SHIT setting that was created because an emo couldn't handle putting down shitbulls.
I know that. zivonlies don't.
Also, I know Yoshita is a snake oil salesman but I hope some of his Jap honor or whatever remains and he keeps his unoriginal hands off any actual XI lore.
More like they’ll just lazily copy paste whatever region they’re imitating into the world of XIV whole sale like they did for Ivalice.

Its probably calculated now so its based on where you are in the world
the shading is no longer "drawn on"
a-at least there aren't annv2dmxy gay centaur....
have they even mentioned if the graphical update will be a thing on ps4? ps4 has a ton of games that look way better than current FFXIV as is, just wondering if they aren't even gonna bother, I imagine it'll be a thing on PS5 at least
frick off loser, you're holding the game back

I hope this is just a textures showcase
It is.
Alright just tuned to the stream. I thought they were done for the day

>Nier raid was canon to Nier

>it will profoundly frick up the lore and XIgays will flip their shit about their dumb boomer game getting retroactively ruined by XIV
Serves you homos right
Yeah just like the Ivalice raids were canon to the Ivalice games or 6.x was canon to FF4 right?
>he doesn't know
Matsuno said the Ivalice raids are how FFT should have ended
Matsuno changes his opinion a lot, but yeah, Ramza and Alma plus friends getting to ride off to new adventures is his personal word of god canon for FFT's ending. He just wisely decided to make it a tragedy for the raids in XIV and turn that good ending into a what-if positivity of history burial.
xi lore basically has an entire universe outside of vana'diel where theoretically anything can happen.
Just got on, what'd I miss.
I've seen Viper and some shit about lalafell chins?
That's it. Yoshi started jerking off to lalafell chins on stage while Koji watched, then they cut the broadcast.
Good ol' Yoshi and his barely disguised fetishes.
>XI Alliance raid
Oh shit that sounds cool.
>More zone stuff
And that sounds sorely needed.
XI Alliance raid
More zone stuff
They are doing Tech Artist discussion at the moment.
Biggest upgrade yet
I don't know about the horn textures still but the limbals look a lot more natural.
And people will complain about her no longer looking dead inside.
They toned down the squirrel cheeks a little, that's nice to see. The eyes are a big improvement.
Horns and scales are way better, good to see that.
Shame the outer part of iris is no longer that bright though, it looked very distinct on characters.
I like her new eyes much better, she doesn’t look so lifeless
okay this portion of the graphics update is actually really great, they should have shown this earlier when more people were watching, instead of the nothingburger they showed
yes, the lalafell segment of the keynote was absolutely moronic
Thank frick I played FF14 before this GRAPHIKKU APPUDEITO

Damn shader changes
physically-based rendering, baby
and it's probably gonna look like shit for some areas at first because PBR requires a lot of good lighting to make the most of it, while XIV is more dynamic about lights than I see in a lot of games that's gonna require a lot of work or else you get PSO2's graphics update

At last
What is a "Shantotto?"
An important character in FF11 or sumthin
A character better written than anything Michael Koji Fox has ever pulled out of his ass
Koji wrote her English version during localization.
XI character that is an all-powerful mage
Tends to cause massive problems she's unable to gauge
Her spells and incantations cause a lot of characters fright
but her popularity speaks to the player's delight.
She also has this rhyming gimmick
A meme character like Tataru but she's a black mage instead of an omnicrafter.
FFXI's meme OP character, like Godbert
The PBR tools they learned to use for FF XVI came in handy it seems.
Huge improvement. Massive, even.
Nice

>actual fur shader
There's only one fight I want from this raid
And it has to be all 5 at the same time
Archangel Fight was badass, I remember it filtering a ton of players
man ffxiv really did just copy this entire game's plot didnt it
news flash, warriors of darkness and the cloud of darkness were an ff3 thing too
It won't be all 5 because Yoshi hates multi boss fights.
>fanmix shit
at least post the original or the dissidia remix, gay
