Downloading pic related right now, never played an mmo before
So what can you do in this game? I know there is a story but besides that are there like superbosses or crafting and shit?

btw I tried watching "beginner guides" on youtube but those morons cant stop themselves from using in-game terms that mean nothing to me yet
OP is a dirty liar
There's raid and trial bosses, yes. And crafting.
Whats the difference between trial and raid bosses?
I always hear about raids in mmos but I never knew what they meant by raids
>What's the difference between trial and raid bosses
In modern XIV? Not much.
Originally, it meant going into a larger area like a fortress or something and fighting through to a boss, killing lower-tier mobs in your wake.
But in modern XIV, you kind of just zone in at the boss now, just like for trials.
Alliance Raids are the only place with that semi-exploratory feeling.
>Alliance Raids are the only place with that semi-exploratory feeling.
Lmao hallways don't even constitute semi-exploratory
Trial is a singular fight against a single boss.
There are two different types of Raids.
One is a 24 man where you progress through areas where you have 6-8 fights not unlike Trial fights.
The other is an 8 man as well, typically released along with 3 others, connected by a side story that is a part of 12 total raids.
ignore what the other two guys said
trials and raids are not different except for alliance raid, which is a 24 man dungeon
it's just that some trials are unlocked from the story content and some are side content
otherwise identical
>but besides that are there like superbosses or crafting and shit?
Yes and yes. There's raiding and crafting.
There's also minigames like races or fashion shows.
There's housing and decorating that housing.
There's fishing.
There's being a monumental loser that hangs out in pretend nightclubs doing pretend relationship drama no one mentally sane would take seriously.
There's various grinsd you can do.
Most of the focus of the game is on the story though.
The base game is shit. I quit for a year until I happened to catch a streamer in the first expansion, where I saw the game actually goes somewhere interesting.
It's insane they haven't done afull revamp of ARR yet, just tiny cuts of extra quests. It's still bloated and dull.
I say this as someone who thinks 14's OVERALL story is amazing. I'll be surprised if you get past the base game without having friends already playing to keep you motivated, a lot of people cut out before then.
if it gets too boring I will probably quit, from what I hear mmos kinda have a problem with too many fetchquests
Thanks anon, I never heard of racing im this game. Fishing sounds neat
Those 24 player raids sound like acustlerfrick, like what if im a moron and die? Are the rest of the players fricked?
Im watching a youtube video right now and I cant see a damn thing besides like magic effects and shit
>Those 24 player raids sound like acustlerfrick, like what if im a moron and die? Are the rest of the players fricked?
Probably not. The 24 man raids are hectic but simple mechanically. Plus a healer or even dps can just res you.
I see, so whats the cool content for players who know what do? Whats the ruby weapon equivalent
What are the best minigames?
>Whats the ruby weapon equivalent
The Ruby Weapon :^)
>What are the best minigames?
PvP, Triple Triad, some of the ones on rotation in the Gold Saucer(casino zone)
There are actually trial fights with ruby, emerald and diamond weapon in the game. I couldn't tell you how close they are to their VII versions though.
You don't understand anon. There are no hard fights in FF14 because the "difficulty" comes from half your party members being unable to follow simple directions, tell left from right, or having internet so shitty they aren't able to dodge red circles on the floor.
>What are the best minigames?
There's this place ingame called the Gold Saucer which is minigame central. There's the races, the fashion show, Triple Triad (card game), mahjong, obstacle jumping courses, stuff about dodging aoes, lord of verminion which is like a tower defense game of sorts, and a bunch of lesser minigames I can't remember right now.
You can get there really, really early.
>What are the best minigames?
Depends on your liking.
Some people like Triple Triad, some like Chocobo Racing. Some like Mahjong..... somehow. Apparently Lords of Verminion has a few enthusiasts.
The Gold Saucer has a bunch of timed minigames too that give its own currency you can use to buy glam armor or mounts or pets or whatever.
>Whats the ruby weapon equivalent
Anything with (Extreme) after the name is decently difficult but you can still do it with randoms
(Savage) is harder, you can sometimes do it with randoms but it’s better to have a coordinated group
(Ultimate) is bullshit frick you difficulty but I don’t think you can unlock any of them in the free trial
>What are the best minigames?
frick the minigames play mahjong
>Thanks anon, I never heard of racing im this game. Fishing sounds neat
Don't build high expectations about the racing, like I said, it's mostly a minigame. A minigame you can invest a good few hours into but eventually you'll be done with it.
The fishing does have surprising depth to it and keeps getting regularly updated though.
The level 50 24 mans are easy as shit and those are the first ones you’ll unlock if the main story doesnt bore you into quitting around level 25
>I cant see a damn thing besides like magic effects and shit
There’s an option to turn off spell effects from other players and I literally cannot play without it
>Those 24 player raids sound like acustlerfrick, like what if im a moron and die? Are the rest of the players fricked?
most usually not the case
they'll just be able to rez you
worst case scenario, you wipe, people tell you what to do, and you go again
24 mans have a lot of slack. 18+ people can die simultaneously and you can still clear if at least one good healer and a sentient tank survive (such as my last hashmal fight).
>if it gets too boring I will probably quit,
FFXIV is one of those games that's unironically like
>"Dude, just play it for 150 hours, then it starts to get good"
And I say that as someone that's been playing it since 2016. Just an honest assessment. The level 1-50 campaign is just not that good. There's also alot of stuff you can't do because things unlock based on the main campaign progress. But once you get to Heavensward, the game gets better and better and the payoff is huge by the time you finish Shadowbringers.
If you can survive to Heavensward, you'll be rewarded. But I, personally, would not judge you for quitting before that. Because it is a slog to get to the really good stuff.
the thing is the mmo label has been obfuscated so far that people come into ffxiv thinking it's really a MMO like New World or Runescape only to find out it's just a glorified single player game with mid combat and occasional co-op content
>it's just a glorified single player game
I'll never understand people that say that. I spend like 65% of the time I'm in-game in a group of some kind. The only thing that's single player is the overworld questing. And the MSQ is not even 20% of the game's content.
Literally everything is gated behind the literal 100+ hour long story quests. Sure you can be in a party but that does nothing in terms of actually affecting the world of the game outside of niche fates.
Sandboxes are a meme, but feel free to go to those games instead.
>Literally everything is gated behind the literal 100+ hour long story quests.
If you don't like stories and quests, why the frick are you playing an MMORPG? I mean, seriously? You people that come to RPGs and then b***h about having to read are the dumbest sons of b***hes.
not gonna say xiv's quests and story presentation are flawless
but the "wtf I HAVE TO READ AND ABSORB THE STORY?? WHY CANT I JUST WHACK TARGET DUMMIES IN A RAID OR AN OPEN WORLD ZONE" mentality is mostly from *that one MMO*
don't bother, that anon is one of those sandbox-mmo copers angry that nobody wants to play their dead games and get ganked
This is the most "i didn't play mmorpgs until WoW" post of all time.
but wowgays hate being expected to pay attention to a story
To add to that, XIV is I think the only MMO that requires dungeon and trial clears to progress. Without them, you literally can't get any further.
And trials still require 8 man groups.
>It's insane they haven't done afull revamp of ARR yet, just tiny cuts of extra quests. It's still bloated and dull.
If you don't love me at my wine and cheese fetching, you don't deserve me at my FORGE AHEAAAD.
it is total shit
carried by trannies and coomers
The original concept of MMOs died long ago.
FF14 is a single player game but instead of having full control of your party you are randomly matched with 5 incompetent morons for every boss fight.
and a shitty disconnected story, mmo filler fetch garbage, no player choice everything is always the same, you have to rush through shit to catch up with friends
complete shit, if you actually like FF play a FF game, if you need an mmo that actually feels like a game, then play 11
Surprised you could get through all the menu toggling to reach this thread.
ah...the 11 groomers are here. can't make your own thread, Warrior of the Crystal?
Why is 11 not even halfway as popular, though?
trannies and new = good morons
ffxiv is moron/casual friendly. Is like asking why fighting games have low population.
Old. Absolutely requires 67 wiki tabs open to do even the most basic shit, even just completing the story and ignoring difficult endgame content
because oooh the clunkiness
but also because everything is fricking grindy as shit
yeah yeah i get it sense of accomplishment and all but dude
t. slowly playing through the main expansion storylines during free login campaigns
i should however add that it used to be way more popular before people started leaving it in like 2010 afaik
abyssea was a fricking nightmare to do solo but i have a feeling it wasn't because of the proc system
If you remake XI for current systems and with user friendly UI, it would be as popular as XIV
They had a good idea, XI single player, but they scrapped it
>If you remake XI for current systems and with user friendly UI, it would be as popular as XIV
Personally, I don't believe so, honestly.
me neither
The story is good, Job system isn't bad. Combat system is a bit stale. Okay, should have said "If you port Vana'diel into the XIV engine and update the graphics, itwould be as popular"
I just don't think the combat style would be palatable to the average person.
No, I meant with new systems, especially combat
Yeah, its a shame. Probably that game is maintained by a skeleton crew. They should do something to preserve the narrative of the game if the servers go offline at some point
I'd agree with that, and don't get me wrong I play XI as well casually. I just think modern players aren't interested in that type of MMO anymore, at least not in large enough scale for the game to thrive
As someone who played FFXI starting in the beta in 2003ish and put tens of thousands of hours into it over the years I'd have to very much disagree with that. In it's golden years format the game is far too difficult for the average person today, you can even see how private servers that try to emulate this period of the game still don't do it accurately, they apply all sorts of "QoL" features that make it easier. FFXI is a great game, my favorite experience of all time, but it wouldn't do well today.
It's 21 years old and it was very popular for it's time, it even lived through the release of you-know-what in 2004 and it's sub numbers didn't flinch. The issue is that over the years the MMO genre became bloated thanks to that other title and it's once amazing sub numbers looked small by comparison. Also SE themselves tried to kill the game off to promote XIV so that didn't help.
>the game is far too difficult for the average person today
I don't think it's about the difficulty.
I use that as a blanket term, XI required an immense amount of time investment as well as a heavy reliance on people having to talk to eachother. Learning your job wasn't about pressing buttons in the right order (Not that i dislike XIV) but it was about understanding a million different nuances to any situation you could find yourself in, managing a dozen timers, controlling and understanding the invisible threat system, and adapting to a somewhat random fight scenario/timeline. You can handle a lot of this with the modern obsession with addons but you can't cut that time investment down no matter how hard you try.
The main issue you'd run into is modern gamers not understanding that it's about the journey and not the reward, that time investment is what makes the game fun.
because it plays like an old school mmo and not a WoW clone that XIV and most post-2005 MMOs ended up turning into
Would that perhaps have to do with it being less fun?
no is just simply social climates changing, 20 years ago people were used to experimental mechanics in mmos and nowadays people are more used to fetch quest story-based mmos because this generation finds it more relaxing
neither game went the wrong route and both are great games for niche reasons, but as someone already posted SE personally left 11 in the dust because of 14 being the safer investment, which almost backfired but it's whatever
>if you need an mmo that actually feels like a game, then play 11
you basically need a group of 6 friends to go through the game together if you want the actual MMO experience in 11 now. Modern 11 is a single player game
>never played an mmo before
Playing FFXIV won't change that
no its keyboard piano, expect autistic morons who when you do content will constantly get assblasted that you arent mashing out the same optimized combo for everything
xiv players are homosexuals
>optimized combo
There's only one correct way to play any given job. That's how they're designed.
Jobs as in ffv jobs? Do you choose your job when you make your character or do you distribute stats?
So the game doesnt get hard until "savage" lile the other anon said then?
I see a shitload of buttons, can you even play this shit with a controller?
No stats here.
You choose your class when you start, which turns into a job at 30.
Then you can also play other classes, which also turn into jobs.
Only for ARR, though.
Post-ARR jobs (Dark Knight, Machinist, Samurai, Red Mage, Dancer, Gunbreaker, Sage, Reaper, etc.) just start as their respective jobs.
aight so I should expect moron level difficulty for a while then
How long does it take to level up and get to savage?
its a final fantasy game first. play it for the story. if you can't do 5 longer jrpgs in a row, then don't bother
If you skip all text, not long. Leveling is VERY fast now, even faster if you're on a preferred realm. Savage is going to kick the shit out of you if you think a newbie is going to clear it.
If you are going in as a FF fan, I wouldn't suggest that you skip or rush to the end.
>So the game doesnt get hard until "savage" lile the other anon said then?
The game doesn't mechanically flat out wipe you or require active group mitigations until Savage.
And to iterate further on this, to give an idea how pansy-ass difficulty the main story is: You can do all of the dungeons in the game without a tank if you so desired. That's how weak everything hits.
you aren't doing bardam's mettle without a tank
You can on single pulls.
I've already managed it out of boredom. Modern healers have so many fricking tools at 90-cap it's ridiculous.
Oh yeah?
you can do the same in all previous FFs. whats the issue?
Because those games dont murdwr fun in favor of WoW holy trinity
tl;dr: you don't like it
great
Why do you even post just to behave like a homosexual?
Uh, are you arguing with your own conscience?
Should I leave you to it?
Im just asking why you even come here just to be a homosexual or post like you're a female.
Do I need to leave you to it?
you cannot complete fell court of troia without a tank you fricking homo
You pick a class in character creation. Classes upgrade to jobs at level 30. You can play every job on one class so what you pick doesn't matter. No stat allocation.
It depends on what you're used to.
There are some normal trials that at least require you to pay attention, but if you are looking for poopsock autism-level difficulty, it's savage and especially ultimates.
>I see a shitload of buttons, can you even play this shit with a controller?
Yes. I've always played with a controller since the start. Make sure you go into settings and enable crosspad or whatever it's called - to use skills on controller, you hold down LT or RT and press either A, B, X, Y or Up, Down, Left, Right on directional pad. Cross-thing lets you hold RT then LT at the same time to open up an additional set of skills, and also LT then RT to open another set.
They regularly remove skills that are unused or no longer needed when they update jobs (both in patches and when new expansions drop) so you will always have enough space to equip all skills required in your rotation, plus other actions the job may have that you occasionally use or shortcuts to useful things such as sprinting or riding your mount.
Remember that this is also on consoles, so they design the game in a way that it can be played easily with either controller or kb/m. Can even tab target on controller, just like a kb.
Anon, everything in this game that is not savage/ultimate is content for literally monkeys and i mean it.
>things i don't like....ARE BAD!
I didnt say they were not fun. They're just not mentally challenge. Like at all. Someone that never plays videogames would like it though
if you want a challenge go play a genre that wasn't built from the ground up to appeal to the lowest common denominator by design
Oh yeah, be warned OP that all of the game's combat jobs are EXTREMELY simplistic until like level 60. Expect to mash the same 3 button combo for a long time at the start of the game.
r8 my comfy playlist. also, gimme the island sanctuary stuff. i know you have it

why do xi gays have to behave like spiteful bucket crabs itt
Its a great story game with fun mechanics. Pick whatever class you like best out of the ones provided. They get upgraded into cooler classes at lvl 30. Pick whatever you think makes you look cool and that youd enjoy playing.
For data center id choose crystal if you can tolerate the homos. It's the most social one so you see people talking and hanging out.
data centers are servers im guessing, do you just pop in on the world and ask for party members?
Like whats the social part like?
Data center is real world physical location of the servers (worlds), separated into clusters of 2-3 sets of servers depending on the region.
So all the outrage about trannies and homosexuals are just morons typing in chat? Thats it?
Typically.
Otherwise, it's some text on their adventurer plate and them using a plugin to show each other's mods which you cannot actually see unless you 1. have the plugin yourself, 2. have the special code to share with them
Yes.
correct, the game has only one lgbt character in it.
pic unrelated?
He’s a pederast
technically two from post-Shadowbringers
more than 1
Pic unrelated.

>terminally ill online troon doesn't understand that girls hold hands irl without being gays
>the game has only one lesbian gay bi trans character
brain cells dying? Stop adhering to their cult language. It has no logic.
no
Yes and I’ve been playing since 1.0 and literally never seen any homosexualry. And I’m even on the designated homosexualry server
Most I've seen is some text on adventurer plates.
There’a a chat function but there’s a Party Finder menu to make posts looking for people for specific content, and auto matching(or solo with npcs ) for easy/story content
>Like whats the social part like?
YMMV
People can be chatty in big cities, but it tends to be mostly among friends. You can always try to talk with them, though. Especially if you explain that you're a newcomer (they would be able to tell by the sprout icon above your head, anyway)
Avoid Male Au Ra like the plague so long as you have that, though. Just kidding
why did Ameliance dress her daughter in tight booty shorts
this is the exact point this thread descends into pedophilia. Pack it up boys time to go to a new, better thread.
You didn't do the sidequest with the student looking for her Mammet that was based on another student?
It was based on Alisaie, and there seemed to be an implication of romance.
Mama was just trying to get her noticed by a young lad so he could snatch her up.
The girl who asks you to look for her Alisaie mammet is literally just a stalker. Alisaie doesn't even know who she is.
Can I switch classes? cuz I dont wanna pick a shit one and be stuck with it or having to make another character
Also how different do the classes feel from each other?
You can play all classes/jobs on one character and you can start a new one once you level to 10 on your first class.
Thats fricking cool is that why people autisitically play this game? to level up all their classes?
adventure plates?
Adventure plates are like optional business cards.
let's see Paul Allen's adventure plate
Basically, yeah. You can maybe sort of tell what kind of player the person is behind the plate more or less. Some have a simple but decent search comment and portrait, other have lewd or edgy ones, some are memes…
What confuses me is why there’s a privacy setting for plates. Is it to deter stalkers? It’s my best assumption but maybe I’m wrong
>to level up all their classes?
Grinding is the JRPG way
Stuff like this. Like
said, a sort of business card.
DAMNABLE DUSKWIGHTS
cute dusky
>adventure plates?
A dumb thing SE introduced this expac. Normally you'd have the search info of a player which showed their faction affilitation, class levels, and a little comment. Adventure Plates is that same information but more graphical/customizable, with a photo portrait of your character that you can pose and frame for others to see.
Most people who stick do tend to level all the jobs, but it's not what keeps people around for years. Not actually sure how long it takes from start to finish, but everyone who is around for an expansion probably has done it within that expansion's lifecycle.
>to level up all their classes?
People who keep up on the shit tend to re-level everything within a given expansion, since they typically add 10 levels to the cap, and your daily roulette bonuses (random dungeon selection within a given category) are enough experience to guarantee a level at day for the most part.
You can swap between classes you've unlocked at any time just by equipping that classes weapon
You can. Second is opinions.
Broadly, almost every job’s strategy is to build up a meter with normal combo attacks, do a big buff that’s on a 2 minute timer, then do big moves that spend the meter. Looking into the granular details there’s more variety
>xigays enter
>have to spend the entire time being sour grapes rather than just accept that xiv exists as its own thing that people like, just as xi exists as its own thing that people like
It's all so tiresome
If I buy a new expansion does it download more data or is the data already on my hard disk and Im just unlocking access to it with the code?
i don't have much space
The former. If you upgrade your account, the launcher will try to update and download all the new files required for you to access the later content.
The client keeps a core install, while expansions are installed/updated separately, to prevent a massive initial download for free trial/newer players that don't have the latest expac.
literally play any other mmo unless your really want to read a 400h visual novel. i highly recommend guild wars 2 as it captures the mmo feeling the best but wow, eso and lost ark are also good games. hell even runescape has more gameplay than ff14. imagine getting your opinion on mmorpgs ruined by ff14 as the first one.
>gw2
>wow
>lost ark
>good games
Funny.
great games with a relevant open world. the world in ff14 is just there to send you to npcs and read shitty dialogue. also the combat is boring till max level.
It was a good joke, anon. But you don't need to go overboard.
yeah it's weird how so many here don't like the genre and shit on every game out there. i have to admit i made ff14 seem worse than it is but i really can't recommend the game to a newcomer.
If by "superbosses" you mean like overworld super mobs, they kind of exist, but you're never going to find them normally.
As for crafting. Crafting and gathering are legitimately their own classes, though all the crafting classes operate the same way just making different things.
Fishing, however, is it's own beast.

HOLY FRICKING SHIT THIS CANNOT BE GOOD TO ANYONE. WHAT THE FRICK homie?
At this point I don't know whether to hate on Zero for how boring this story is or feel sorry for her because her arc was written this sloppeh.
The culmination of it will be a sorta self sacrifice and absorption of either golbez or durante.
nothing
its a dead game with no content
play wow instead
At my stage in the game I just raidlog (can only get loot from each relevant Savage/Ultimate fight once a week, resets on Tuesday), and then spend the rest of the week grinding gil/REMAPs in XI.
What is remaps
>REMAP - Relic Empyrean Mythic Aeonic Prime
The five categories of Ultimate weapons. Usually have some exclusive or very desirable stats on them, or sheer damage output options, and require an assload of grinding/gil to obtain + augment.
Crafting, PvP, checking up on my island, hunt trains, deep dungeons. Occasionally if there’s a lull I’ll do old content to farm for collectible drops like mounts, minions and, TT cards with my FC(guild). There were big endgame zones with unique grinds the last two expansions that I spent a lot of time in, they’re still fun to do now. I don’t do the hard bosses usually because I don’t have a group and dealing with morons in random PUGs is exhausting
How do you get an island and what can you do in it?
What are hunt trains and deep dungeons?
You have to complete the story up to the latest expansion. It’s kind of an idle minigame where you set up a farm and workshops to earn a currency to get mounts and outfits and stuff.
6.0 means what? Is it like base game is 1.0 and after first expansion is 2.0 and so on?
You said hunts, are they like ff12 hunts or how do they work and what do you get from them?
Also about crafting....what do you do with the shit you craft? Obviously weapons for my characters but like can I sell it?
1.0 would be the base game, but 1.0 FFXIV was such a complete mess that someone else had to take it over and remake it almost entirely.
2.0 is now the base game, A Realm Reborn.
3.0 is Heavensward
4.0 is Stormblood
5.0 is Shadowbringers
6.0 is Endwalker
Every expansion has 5 big patches in between, so 3.5 for example.
>6.0 means what?
1.0 is the original game. It's unavailable to be played at this point. If you download the game and start playing today, you will begin in 2.0, the "A Realm Reborn" restart/expansion of the game. After it and the follow up patches would come 3.0, Heavensward, 4.0, Stormblood, 5.0, Shadowbringers, and 6.0, Endwalker. Island Sanctuary is not available until you have completed the primary Endwalker campaign.
I was under the impression that Hunts always functioned like this is FF. There is an especially strong enemy compared to the rest that can be found out in the wild, and you receive a reward after you are able to put it down.
1.0 is infamous original version of 14. You can't really play it anymore. It was really different.
>links a vid of a 1.0 server emulator
Also damn that's an old version. I polished up the Gridania opener to be more v1.19-authentic eons ago.
Sometimes I miss 1.0's combat. It had weight and had challenge. I hope the next FFMMO will be closer to 1.0 or 11
Meh.
Nail of the Heavens is such a jam.
Despite only needing a tune to be good, Yoshi just copying wow and all casuals clapping put the nail in the coffin. There will never be something with deep combat.
>it had weight
All of the attack animations are like they're attacking a stick of butter. I just mainly miss 1.0's pacing and grounded world. Everything else about it can frick off though, especially the unfinished state it launched at where it was levequests-or-bust, thanks to half of the caves/dungeons being inaccessible, and no real outdoor content at the time besides grinding mobs and gathering nodes.
If the next FF MMO is like 1.0 or XI they will not succeed.
>queue up a move
>stamina fills up
>activate move
>get tp
>more tp means harder hitting moves
>cooldowns
>queue up more moves
>rinse and repeat
Am I getting this right? Was stamina needed for casting spells as well? Was stamina basically the recast timer? Was it effected by haste/skellspeed?
I would have never touched XIV if it were still like this in terms of gameplay style, t b h
>You said hunts, are they like ff12 hunts or how do they work and what do you get from them?
They’re moderately powerful world bosses that spawn based on different conditions. What most people do is join a >discord and wait for someone to scout out everything from the current expansion and then organize a giant group to blaze through and obliterate them all. You get tokens for endgame gear and another hunt specific currency for other random shit.
Island is post 6.0
Think of it as Animal Crossing with better graphics, and a bit of automation.
Anytime you hear trains, outside of the Haunted train fight, it is probably going to be a player group working together on a group of targets, or general group pursuit. In this case, a Hunt train would be a group running around the world, chasing hunt targets.
Deep dungeons are tangentially story driven areas comprised of 10 levels that do higher and higher, but are primarily available to be rereun to provide quick exp to help level up a combat class if you need to.
What system are you playing on?
I’m relatively amateur at the game and am looking for someone to play it with so if you have a PlayStation and would like to play, I can add you on psn if you’d like.
im downloading it on steam cuz I wanna play it on steam deck
I dont know if that matters
Uhmmm. Not sure. If the game has voice chat then we could still play together possibly. I’d need to get a Bluetooth keyboard if you just want to type.
Everyone is on the same servers but you’d have to have a separate application for voice chat
That’s a damn shame. If OP still wants to play, I’m up for it. Just expect slow replies until I get a Bluetooth keyboard.
op here, drop your username or whatever the frick i need to find you once I can get this shit downloaded
god its like 100 gb
yo whats tab targeting?
You hit tab to target the closest enemy.
ok and why is that problem?
A lot of people consider that an archaic game style nowadays.
>bunch of enemies moving onscreen
It's a pain in the ass in tab-target to target the center-most enemy in a pack for AoE skills. Better off clicking directly with a mouse, or just playing a game that lets you be targetless with commands in general.
Some don't like it.
How many MMOs even have a different style nowadays?
WoW is still firmly stuck in tab target territory and that is the other biggest MMO.
asiatics somehow manage to make good combat MMOs at the cost of everything else. New World is another example where combat was good but everything else was complete shit, but at least it serves as a good proof of concept that action MMOs can work.
Fair. If we get a new FF MMO, I wouldn't mind it being... what would you call it? Active combat? Free-floating combat? Just action combat?
I would be loath to leave the XIV world behind, but yeah.
Play ngs.
Ok gimme about 20 minutes. I’ll log in and find my details. My brother is playing the XVI demo right now.
Ok I’m ready but I don’t know what I need to post for you to add. My account name or my character name?
frick me man I dunno, character name I guess?
I will find you one day anon
Right then we need to pick the same data centre and server. I was gonna make a new character so we can proceed together.
You just need to know the name and be on the same data center, I think?
You can add each other to the friends list.
It's possible to server travel or some such.
Ah ok. I am on the Primal data center. I’ll make a new character for you to find.
Any name suggestions?
The game will suggest lore friendly names if you're into those.
You can travel between data centers and servers now but it’s easier to travel between servers on the same DC
Id hop on Crystal tbh man. Primal is pretty raid centric its got the most tourists who just go to primal only to raid with statics then they go back to their main worlds.
Oh right. Ok crystal it is. Thanks.
download its still gonna take a few hours homie, so drop your character name or guild or whatever the frick and I will add you when I figure out how to play
there we go, if any other anon wants to havr this moron on their friend list drop your name
Alright. I’ll make a new character. I’ll drop my character name in a few minutes.
Ok I made my character. Im on the Crystal data center and my character name is Shaan Belmont.
Pls no bully. I’ll log off for now but stay on here to chat until you are ready or whatever. I guess we can chat in discord. I have that on my phone. Dunno how to add people though.
Cool anon, I will probably start playing during the weekend but I got your name saved so I can add you
Probably will have to read a guide on how to even add people but whatever
Do you use discord? Will be a lot easier to sync up if we use that.
nah man sorry, I spent most of my time lurking here and playing random shit offline so dont be surprised if it looks like I dissapeared for weeks
SMT V is right next to my bed unfinished and yet here I am downloading a fricking mmo lmao
Shit. I was only gonna log in so we can play together. This is going to be difficult. Well add me regardless and if I can get the game running on steam I’ll add you on there or whatever.
You got it, maybe drop your leveled up character too as well since im guessing you play that more often
how long do dungeons take and how many are there?
Nah I was only logging in to play with you. First time I logged in since March. My first character is like lvl 34 or something. Not worth it.
>how long do dungeons take and how many are there?
Usually 10-20 minutes depending on how fast you go through them
There about 90 dungeons in the game (I think, I quick counted the list)
Do you have a PlayStation at all? I can add you on there and send a message with my details.

I love Idyllshire and I love gobbies.
Have a cursed backpackless shot of a gob then.
>This is what gamers will look like in 40 years.
Goblins are good lads. I would use my Goblin minion like my squire during early game.
I think the Fishbacks are pretty cool too.
Gobbie racks it's braincase and cannot find a single reason it doesn't love uplander too
I really hope if they make a 3rd FF MMO that they finally move away from tab targeting. Cool world and lore, but good god the combat is just extremely dated even by the standards of its own time when it was released.
Totally agree. The combat is the biggest turn off for me. Otherwise I love the game.
I keep fantasizing about this game but with Dragon's Dogma gameplay. That'd make it the absolute perfect game.
How about more a active combat style? Similar to XVI but more... well, practical in an MMO?
Too much work to balance around + requires higher server resources to actively maintain decent tick rate for action combat, which means less money from having to host more servers for less players.
If they make a new FF MMO, it will probably be more like XI in terms of playstyle.
XIV is an anomaly, resulting from having to be redone and Yoshi P taking over.
Not just that, but all the classes are railroaded. Hopefully they do like a blue mage approach where you can actually mix and match abilities from different jobs or bring back cross-class skills
Yes. In far more variety than you're asking
I have a tremendous monstergirl fetish.

>never played an mmo before
and you will continue to do so
it's a themepark mmo that doesn't try to pretend it isn't one. it's filled with pretty attractions that are neatly gated away in their proper areas and you get a ticket and line up to see the attractions. it's not explicitly a bad thing but that's what it is and tries to be. personally i'm enjoying ff11 more than I ever enjoyed 14
>personally i'm enjoying ff11
As you should. It is the perfect video game. My absolute favorite game of all time.
you may be unhappy to know i'm playing it on a private server but I heard plenty about how the live game just isn't what it was.
yeah, from what i've learned, private servers do their best to emulate the game but there's a lot of stuff they had to reverse engineer that doesn't work, but since I never played the game until playing it on a private server I'm still loving it.
So wich private?
horizon. Eden allowing dual boxing was a no go for me as dual boxing is the cancer that kills mmos.
>Horizon
So you're playing FanFiction Fantasy XI then. That server is nothing like retail 75-cap era was.
better than a dead server or a server with dual boxing. There's really no argument to be had against what I'm saying here as ff11 does not have a p99 equivalent.
It's the closest private server that exists today. A populated server is a huge thing of what made FFXI what it was and there's no other server that offers that at the moment.
'Was' the perfect MMO.
Unrelated to that, I find it stupid the character-creator models for XI are both lower poly and lower-texture resolution than an ARR character model, but look vastly more competent.
It's because the overall design and artstyle of FFXI was so strong. There's a reason a lot of the monsters in XIV are literal up-ressed assets from FFXI.
I can't wait for half of 7.0's enemy model population to just be rips from XVI.
But XVI already uses the Bison model.
It's weird. Normally I'd be pretty bummed about asset re-use but I can kind of give a pass to Final Fantasy because the designs are so iconic. It's the same I feel about Dragon Quest.
If I had to knock FFXI, I was always upset they didn't use the iconic Cactuar design.
>but I can kind of give a pass to Final Fantasy because the designs are so iconic.
There's a difference between reusing a design and then flat out lifting the older model.
Eg. XIV1.0 had XI's Qiqirn design, but it was a completely new model built to XIV1.0's rendering budget.
On the upside, XI had Cactuar that remained scary for the longest fricking time since its HP levels were kept sane for a good 15 years, meaning 1000 Needles was lethal to a lot of classes unless you had other people nearby to help soak it.
>personally i'm enjoying ff11
Private server?
I don't think you'll make it through ARR.
>prove to me you are not a cuck that follow other people
explain to me why you guys think the Venat "YOU SHALL WALK" scene is good
Theres plenty to do in this game. Your in for some fun. Though, if you want to play as an Au Ra, Viera, or Hrothgar, you have to buy the expansions and leave the free trial
I dont know what those names mean bro, are those the e-girls people keep spamming?
Au Ra - Lizard people (I think HW unlocks those so you can play those on the free trial)
Viera - Bunny people. (Requires Shadowbringers for female, Endwalker for male I think, might be wrong)
Hrothgar - Furry cat/lion people, not to be confused with miqo'te, the humans with cat ears (requires Shadowbringers)
Those "e-girls" are Lalafell.
Ok I only see people spamming the e-girls and the catgirls, cool there are more options
Do the races have different stats or its just a cosmetic thing? Can I switch races like with classes?
Cosmetic. Doesn't change how you play a job, or your stats.
You can't switch races on the fly. You need a Fantasia for that, which are from the shop.
But finishing A Realm Reborn gives you one free Fantasia.
Cool cool
Soooo is the combat good? Are there like elemental weakness or whats the deal?
From afar it looks like xenoblade with more special effects
Like what makes someone a shitter vs a good player?
You just do your skills in the right order and dodge the bosses attacks. The most important thing to not be shot is always be pressing a button that does damage when one is available. There’s more optimization with timing big attacks during buff windows but you won’t get to any content where that matters until much later.
It technically does change your stats but it’s so insignificant it doesn’t matter
The stat difference are so small that they don't matter at all. It's all cosmetic differences. Any race can be any job.
Let me introduce you to Femroes
Please don't.
no
The races have different starting stats but they are meaningless, just play what you want. You need a fantasia to change race which you buy on the cash shop. But you get one free fantasia at the end of ARR.
Au ra = lizard people
Viera = bunnies
Hrothgar = lion people
Man this was fun, didn't know for that one guys ending you HAD to get the sword at the end
Miqote is the best non human and can wear hats
Yo, I thought you guys said P11S is easy, but so far from the few PF I've joined people keep fricking up the parts of the fight? Also different strats confuse people like b***hing about near/far and instead what e/w.
>PF
Well there's your problem. The reason P11S is 'easy' because it's got nothing new going on mechanically besides the tether shit, which you handle in a manner not unlike previous expansion encounters in the end anyways.
It just makes me frustrated since and I'm worried I won't be able to clear it before reset even though I'm been progging P11S for over 12 hours now. And I've only gotten to D&L two times.
i am NOT buying a house
>buy house
>decorate it
>never touch it again

Man I miss Delerbum Reginae. It was cool to see people buffing up before encounters.
Why is PF never able to handle boss relative spreads? Floor waymarks were a fricking mistake and should be deleted from the game.
>superbosses
extreme/savage/ultimate raids
>crafting
yes
>and shit?
yea there's quite a few male miqotes
I must have spend 10k hours with the game without ever touching actual raiding besides unsynched. I got everything on 90 and more or less every item I want besides some relics. I'm really burned out too but I'll keep resubbing for events I think.
anya sexo
Does the choice of data center/world matter or can I just choose whatever?
If you plan to link up with someone you might want the same data center.
You don't want to choose a DC on the other side of the world.
Yes, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If you're not in NA, tell me your country and your native language (or the one you enjoy speaking/writing the most) and I'll tell you where to go.
Country: Germany, language: English (probably can understand it better than German at this point lol)
Sorry, I forgot about this thread.
You should go with Odin then, although there are a lot of Germans in Shiva (who will insist on you joining their german FCs and gaycords and speak German to them). Odin is also the premier Ganker server as well.
Is this thread/interest in XIV a result of XVI?
Idk, Apparently there is a card insert in FFXVI case promoting XIV though
There's usually a XIV thread up and has a decent amount of posters unless it gets removed by a janny
ffxiv is getting new players non stop. It's literally the only mmo besides runescape I'd say right now.
>Keep getting Chrysalis and Cuff of the Father in roulettes with new players each time
I know I should probably think it's a good thing that the game is continuing to get new players but everytime I get annoyed.
Just make sure they don't expend the LB3 before the rift phase.
With sprouts? Impossible. At least 1 will do it
Funny you say that, because the last 3 runs I've had of this damn thing, no one LBed at all. Even when prompted repeatedly, just no one LBed. In the end I randomly healer LBed in the third phase after the rift because that's just a victory lap. One run a tank had the gall to say I was trolling.
You robbed the DPS the satisfaction of finishing off a 2% boss off with their LB. That's trolling as far as I'm concerned.
People at level 90 have no idea what they are doing, at level 50 you 100% know they won't even know what the letters LB mean.
chrysalis is a funny place. you'll never see limit breaks going off in roulettes, but there will always be one sprout that uses it in chrysalis
>you'll never see limit breaks going off in roulettes
What? I see the DPS use the LB when the boss is at low health almost every single roulette.
I had someone using LB in the first phase
We had to tell him like 5 times not to.
They need to move CT to MSQ roulette so AR is not not always it.
This but with Leviathan.
But I am happy to see sprout icons in early trials. Reminds me that this game is still growing fairly steadily.
Was this homie convocation? Emet doesn't mention him when he lists members in Elpis.
Yes. His seat was unknown however.
All red masked/sigil bearing Ascians were Convocation. He was just one of the Sundered ones.
>it's a lvl 20 Ifrit roulette with 4 lvl 90 party members episode
Sounds like cheap Exp for a minute of effort, anon.
What’s the most noob friendly server that isn’t dead?
XIV is overall very nice to sprouts regardless of server. And new players are automatically added to a chat with veteran players so you can ask questions.
That’s super A neato
People here are saying the combat is braindead but every screenshot I see has like 30 fricking buttons on screen
what do they even do then? Why are there so fricking many?
They say that because while there are a lot of buttons, once you learn your rotation, its just pressing them in order with little variety. At least for damage dealers. tanks and healers adjust their abilities to the situation.
In many cases, you have basically a steady rotation and the extra buttons are off-global cooldowns you weave in between.
Then you have a few utility ones, like self-heals, mitigations, etc.
They do any number of things.
They can attack a target, or many targets, weaken a target, strengthen you or an ally, heal you or an ally, make you run, use a limit break, teleport anywhere, teleport to one particular place for free once every 15 minutes, use items, summon a minion or a mount, or a companion chocobo, etc. When you start the game, you will reasonably only have one attack button. Everything else that you've seen became available somewhere between lvl 1 and 90, by leveling a character, or just learning about abilities available at lvl 1 regardless of the job you're playing, or others you are able to do an unlock quest to get along the way.
this is not a single player game.
that means:
in easy content,
your contribution is entirely irrelevant.
you can smash your literal wiener on the keyboard and be fine.
and at a high level,
it means that you are expected, by other humans in your party, to perform optimally or at the very least decently.
which in turn means that there's no room for creativity and unique playstyles but rather everyone plays the same way pressing the same buttons in the same order over and over again.
also forgot to mention that the devs want the game to be boring. so it's by design
>Why are there so fricking many?
So you can press 1-2-3 for your basic attacks instead of 1-1-1
with how they keep dumbing things down i expect next expansion will have 1 button rotations like in PvP
uninstall and download a better game, or go outside
best of luck
Lahabrea, I messed up!
>I got mating pressed by the Warrior of Light!
>There's an alternate universe where WoL decided to rape correct the ascians
>you fricked up again, Emo Lightning
Since they merged, Iggy must have known about Lahabreas plans
I'd love to see what lead Pandaemonium Lahabrea to turn into ARR Lahabrea
Re-merging with his loonie side that he culled.
tbh it seemed like he already knew what was happening when he spoke to the WoL at the end, maybe they did gain back some of those memories
>dialogue as an NPC after he merges with himself is "i loathe you, get out before i put you in one of these cages"
He had the Heart of Sabik for 12000 years. I think it's safe to say Athena's memories corrupted him, which is why he quotes her "world shall tremble" bit when he casts Ultima.
Y'know, if there is a new FF MMO in our lifetimes, it'll probably have New World-like combat.
And it's going to be funny to have another "THIS IS NOT MY REAL FF" type shitfest where the overton window has shifted so as to make XIV out to be true FF-like just to shit on the new kid on the block instead.
I think that game showed very clearly why that style of combat is not meant for MMORPGs.
To be fair, New World had bigger problems than its combat system.
This is a fun thing to think about because of how random SE can be.
>Randomly made FFXI, a mainline FF MMO that was incredibly hardcore
>Even though it's doing well they try to push it aside and make a new one
>Treat XI like an outcast for no apparent reason for over a decade
>Gamble the company on re-making XIV after it flops hard
>Won't put any real money back into XIV despite it gaining momentum and the MMO genre being void of any competition
>People ask for more accessibility to XI, their response is to put it on maintenance mode
>MMO genre as of 2023 is pretty bleak
You could make the argument for them to make a new one or to not make a new one and all of it would make sense because of their past decision making.
what mogged who? new world? please...
if XIV was exclusively on steam, i'd grant it to you
But we both know that's not the case, and also, we both know you'll dismiss that cause you are the moron from mmog
Can you put "FFXIV" in the OP or subject next time so your transparent shill threads don't pass through my filter? Thanks.
no

Can you hit CTRL+Click in the catalog next time instead of coming in here to cry like a little b***h about it?

I played this shit up to Endwalker.
It does not get better. Everyone who praises it either suffers from buyer's remorse and Sunken cost fallacy and/or is a literal troony.
Sorry you didn't enjoy it, but that hypothesis is wrong. Back to the drawing board.
It's fine that you didn't like it anon, no need to sperg at people who did
so true
it's all just a massive conspiracy
it doesnt get better than heavensward true, the only thing better was Ardbert, way more touching story than Emet imo
>plot set in the 13th

Do they explode or what?
I think they'd just burn each other on contact.
Gomenasai WoD-kun, they're hidden behind *inhales* 2 extreme trials, 1 trial series, unlocking their extreme versions too, leveling up 4 jobs to level 80 and doing one of the lengthiest sidequests in the game which is painted yellow so most players won't even notice it even when fulfilling all requirements.
>Gomenasai WoD-kun, they're hidden behind *inhales* 2 extreme trials, 1 trial series, unlocking their extreme versions too
Which ones? I don't remember this.
Ravana, Bismarck and all the Warring Triad ones.
You had to do extremes to unlock it? Weird. There's no connection either.
The "connection" is that Unukalhai was the one who informed you of the existence of those extremes so you could go unlock them. Which meant to do the final role quest in ShB you had to do them all because Unukalhai couldn't leave before you completed every quest.
>Long time no see WoL, Cylva and I heard you were healing the 13th
>Of course you know us, silly!
>(Cylva and Unkalli have been added to the Endless Journal. Be warned that spoilers for Heavensward's Warring Trial series and Shadowbringer's Role Quests are contained within.)
It's that easy.
not happening until those things are made mandatory a la CT raids
thas dumb
This is painful to think about, I can't believe they actually put that much effort into setting them up and then didn't even use them.
Reminder that fiddies won.
Unukalhai is too busy getting his bussy pounded by Taynor

Altima the Ascian will be the next antagonist for 7.0 ad she'll steal the Heart of Sabik for a power boost
I'd rather they frick off with the ascian shit but there still are some out there. I wonder how the WoL will canonically do trials in 7.0, they can't just keep using Azem's crystal shit forever.
we only use it when necessary. we are doing Agalia/Euprosyne the old fashioned way
WoL will be rejoined even more after Golbez and have the ability to do it without the crystal
When WoL absorbs Golbez which is the 13th's Azem WoL will be able to summon w/o the crystal
Wouldn't find it wierd if in the future we get some sort of plotpoint about how WoL using the Azem crystal is ackshually a bad thing that's been corrupting our aether or something similar so we have to stop. "Stop relying on that new nifty power you unlocked as a crutch, it's not good for you" is a pretty standard narrative.
thats moronic.
>WoL, you have to stop using the crystal, your aether has been corroding from overuse.
>WoL, you have to stop using the crystal, your personality is being altered to fit ancient Azem's.
>WoL, you have to stop using the crystal, summoning Warriors of Light from other shards is actually terribly inconvenient for those shards if you happen to do it at a bad time.
>WoL, you have to stop using the crystal, I accidentally dropped it in the broth yestery- no don't lick it you dumbass it's been in your pocket all day.
tfw the crystal is actually made out of auracite
>muh azem crystal
What the FRICK is your problem with that thing? The WoL has proven time and again that they WILL find enough people to run the trial with him even if they have to dig under the fricking red moon to find lalafells to help them.
Lyse even lampshades this shit during Susano when they in the frick off far east alone and without the aid the fricking scions.
>they can't just keep using Azem's crystal shit forever.
why not?
it's basically just built in duty finder
OP here, so talking about high level, whats the challenge?
I mean like in some rpg the challenge is strategy or having the right elemental weaknesses and/or the right gear
But according to anons I use the same abilities in the same order so what makes hard content "hard"?
solving boss mechanics and synergy with your group mostly
it becomes harder to figure out where safe spots are, and it becomes more punishing for failure
also, the key difference between difficulty tiers is if you can kill other people by making mistakes and how recoverable those mistakes are. 24 man content you can survive with just a few competent people as almost all mechanics are individual
Dealing with the mechanics of each fight. This video is an example of an extreme, which is pretty much entry level endgame content.
>open video
>w*man voice
no thanks
>posts the final boss of an expansion
Anon???
I didn't even consider that kek. But by the time anon gets to that point (if he does) he'll likely forget he watched that video anyway.
Doing rotation and damage while dealing with mechanics, punishment for mistakes is severe and an enrage timer so you can't just stall the fight.
Weren't the engine graphic updates supposed to be rolling out already
next expansion
Nope. All a 7.0 thing.
We'll see the previews next month at FanFest.
Since Emet created the crystal and those crystals are used to awaken memories of their perspective convocation members then shouldn't WoL get some memories of Azem?
No because he created the crystal in secret and Azem never lent their memories to it
Weren't the crystals made post sundering and by the 3 remaining unsundered? The other convocation members would not have been able to give their memories since they already sundered
Obviously not or the only ascins you would ever see are the unsundered ones. They excluded Azem because he/she had already stepped down from the convocation before they made the crystals.
>the azem crystal guy
kek. this fricking homie.
Do I play this through Steam or its own launcher?
Its own launcher is what most people will tell you.
SE launcher is preferred if possible. Steam can have problems. Whatever you choose, you have to stick with
I use the steam version but renew my sub through the website
Steam or launcher have no difference whatsoever.
BUT you can use steam wallet to purchase stuff if you get in on steam, it's a matter of whats more convenient to you really.
Steam will launch the game launcher, cheaper to buy through steam, you can also use the steam wallet to pay for the monthly subscription, I cancelled mine in March tho so I might be wrong.
Never use the steam version because you'll miss out on discounts from the Square Enix store and the Mog Station items if you ever feel like buying those.
bullshit for the mog station items
you can buy those at any price they are discounted at with steam wallet.
You just won't be able to buy shit at Square store, like merchandise or discounted xpacs, but then, xpacs get discounts at steam during sales so meh
Use the launcher unless you live in South America, in which case you might get a discount on your subscription if you use steam (depending on the country)
i don't see anything posing a real threat to the wol in 7.0, the power creep has gone too far. it's over for this game. shadowbringer and endwalker ultimates will be kino though. maybe they make an ultimate comprised of all the ultimates, not sure what they would call that difficulty.
The next threat will be to stop Alisaie's stalker in Sharlayan from ruining her and the WoL's wedding
>So what can you do in this game?
Eureka and Bozja grind, running deep dungeons.
Those zones were mostly dead and they have a cadre of gatekeepers on troony discords ( troony flags, troony callers for the raids in it BA/DR DRS ).
The FIRST JOB ( or two depending on how many dungeons you queue for ) you level up will be through the MSQ ( main story quest ), after that, the BEST AND FASTEST way to level up other jobs, is to use the hunter log and quests to get to level 30, then you go to the Palace of the Dead savepoint run from 30 to level 61, after that you go to the Heaven on High savepoint from level 61 to level 71, then, from level 71 you stay in Bozja until level 81 and from 81 to 90 you can go to the latest released deep dungeon.
A) The game is full of bots and cheaters, you are supposed to overlook them.
B) The game is full of trannies, you're supposed to make believe they are sane individuals and treat them as a special class.
C) The moderation in that game is extremely low brow, they persecute people for no reason, and if people, even with stuff from outside of the game, report you for some kind of behavior that goes against the TOS, you will get your account deleted, regardless of if you paid the full price for the game and the monthly fee.
>B) The game is full of trannies, you're supposed to make believe they are sane individuals and treat them as a special class.
Never did this.

Never happened to me.
play the game until you get to ifrit (the fire demon dude) you will be around level 20-30.
if you are bored of the gameplay after that, you can safely stop.
you get your mount after this and there is larger group content at level 50, but the core gameplay stays the same, albeit with a more fleshed out class with more abilities
Either chores or raids, but that’s endgame lifestyle. Your first 800 hours is basically do the leveling roulette then do as much msq as you can stomach
Everything. Story, crafting, trooning, whatever. That's what MMOs are all about. Something for everyone.
It has a good story, everything else sucks shit.

Just play the msq up until end of endwalker (not the post patches we are in now).
Avoid as much of the social/mmo aspect as you can and quit/delete the game as soon as the story is done.
The game is finished no matter how much the cultists say otherwise.
a bad single player game disguised as a mmo.
says a lot about the state of MMOs when it's the most popular MMO on the market then
The MMO genre is on its way out the door.
This genre has been outside the door for a long time already.
great, so no need to argue about whether or not xiv is a real mmo because mmos are a shitty dead genre anyways
XIV isn't an MMO, that's why it's so popular. MMOs are a shit genre nobody wants to play so XIV became successful by minimizing the MMO aspects as much as possible.
It would seem so.

Be extremely wierded out not just from seeing my character randomly get pregnant but also from the fact he's male.

Never touched Final Fantasy XIV so far. Can you make a character that looks like Vivi?
Don't care about female coom shit, just want to play as a little wizard.
