>nerfing Moggle Mog even though the fight is a joke thanks to absurd ilvl sync stats
Is there anything these devs don't neuter?
They're gonna buff Thordan in 6.3 for sure.
They just nerfed Sephirot so that's a big no.
this dicky will be your teammate during the
Bird who helped doom the universe and killed billions joins you on happy adventures.
I somehow doubt that is happening.
Same applies to Venat, and the fujo still shills her up to this day
But Venat is dead, dead. If anything the Fujos are still insisting that Zenos will come back and he will join the WoL
Venat is fricking dead though.
Of all the dead people, Venat is deader person to ever die.
And I hope it remains that way anon, I hope it does
intradesting
Didn't she stand up to the Endsinger at the end or did I imagine that? I thought it was always implied she was just overwhelmed by the Meteion hivemind and wasn't actually on board with the whole thing.
She did, while you're looking at the dead sun's nipple hanging out she's the one in the field of Elpis flowers begging you to stop her, and the one flying around the Endsinger's face trying to get her to reconsider. She was overwhelmed by the hivemind.
Meteion better be a party member at some point or I riot. I want cute bird e-girl waifu with super powers.
All her sisters are dead. Only she remains, the sole living thing from 12,000 years ago. Probably the oldest living creature on Etheirys now and all alone.
The only happy ending she deserves is protecting the star forever and acting as a new Hydaelyn figure if she can. Eternal servitude for having once helped murder fricking TRILLIONS of people all across the universe just because she got a bit down in the dumps emotionally.
Honestly the less they use this character again, it might be for the better.
She will be the WoL's little sister/daughter type of character screencap this.
She got sucked into a hive mind, and I don't blame her for what she did. She helped me and the scions when it counted. She deserves happiness.
I'm quite pleased with everything we learned today. I can't wait.
>all methods of resurrection are prohibited
This won't mesh at all with the game and smells like them having no idea how to make content challenging.
>timelimit
Please stop copying the worst parts of mythic dungeons.
>this won't mesh at all with the game
someone never did BA or DRS
BA and DRS were both shit.
Some of the best content they've produced in a long time. Opinion discarded.
Is that why so many people still love to run this content? Why it is up to this date super active in the game? And I don7t have to join some moronic discord to get 23 other idiots still wanting to do this because organizing it in game isn't possible because the content is shit?
That does not reflect the quality or reception of the content at all though, at best you are just pointing out that it's not the "new" thing to do anymore but if you were around before when that content was new or even just in ShB, you'd know how fricking packed it was.
Their mistake with that type of content wasn't that it "sucks" it's that it requires too many players and that just like pretty much every other MMO on the market right now, the way the game is designed with ilvls in mind means that every new patch lessens the impact of old content until most players don't even know it exists anymore thanks to being funneled down the straight and narrow road that is "player power"
>it takes effort to organize so it’s dead and shit
I want themeparkbabies to leave
You can rez in DRS and BA via lost actions.
Something tells me we are gonna have either a pomander or a lost actions system in it. Variant dungeons basically sound like Deep Dungeons except without the RNG involved.
Wait, they're really dipping their toes into a mythic dungeon? No fricking shot.
Hyper for ASSS
It's doomposting time
No exploratory content this expansion
See you all in 7.0
morons spammed for another boring ass Deep Dungeon so that's what we get.
I never understood why Bozja and Eureka provided a wider variety of fights, and I know that only a tiny fraction of the people asking for another deep dungeon are Necromancers or Lone Heroes
Never saw the appeal either especially considering the gameplay is exactly the same with the two we already have.
I do ultimates and not even me can comprehend the appeal and autism required for necromancer
I have only done a single Ultimate and I refuse to go through it again, wished the glams/titles were obtainable single player. Having to deal with other people's bs and depend on them feels awful. gays with barely enough commitment, and that one frick that always frick mechanics and drags the whole raid down is something I will forever hate in MMOs, Necromancer is straightforward, you can get it on your own, only commitment required is your own, it probably takes more time from the start all the way up to the end but at least the progress doesn't feel as artificial as dealing with a whole raid that may or may not be up to the task
Necromancer is half luck. What the frick do you mean not artificial
You only need to play MCH and you will win
>half luck
While there is a lot of rng-based things in it, the fact that you can easily circumvent this tells me you haven't tried PotD enough. Still, the rest applies all the way, raidBlack folk don't know what they are asking
>Still, the rest applies all the way, raidBlack folk don't know what they are asking
This make no sense. Please structure your post properly
uhmm, single-player commitment content > content that requires premades for it
That had nothing to do with what you said earlier
My bad then, that was what I was trying to mean a few posts earlier
>There are more Heaven's Legend clearers right now, than Necromancer/Lone Hero's combined
Deep dungeon is just a special kind of autism, they are literally the true 1% of this game's population.
You just KNOW
wow, a Venat I can like
Enter Pteranodon mount
I kneel
Believe it or not, there are more Pteranodon mounts than Lone Heroes according to lalachievements.
Even then, nothing compared to the sheer autism you need to get the "Hoarder" title.
Pteranodon isn't really a crazy poopsocker trophy anymore. You can macro the craft items now which is only like a week of work, shaved off a ton of time needed prior. BTN and MIN are 2-3 weeks semi nonstop each now which admittedly is still a decent filter unless you cough up another sub fee to get them out of the way
Thou must needs knoweth
And yet you are all little fish
Deep Dungeons are kino, not my problem you guys can't solo them even on a machinist lol. Glad to see more content made for me.

We've known this since EW released. The real doom posting is morons thinking they get a house with island sanctuary.
good
Eureka is cancer full of trolls
Bozja is bland, unfun and ugly
Bozja is legitimately depressing to play in
t. still doesn't have the T-Rex mount
that mount is easy to obtain tho, and it was available from mog events
It's pure RNG. I got the the mount before I was even done with the first island but I know a couple people in my FC who have been farming lockboxes for years and still don't have it.
>for years
lmao, it was one of the easiest to get mounts from Eureka, but its funny to hear that. They should have given up and waited for mog events
I started playing Bozja last week and want to kill myself. Is it normal to watch 30 DPS and 5 tanks charge over and over at a critical engagement until they all die? Why the frick is no one switching to healer? Thankfully I needed to level AST and SGE anyway so I've been doing that but it's been a dismal experience.
>Bozja
>Dying, ever
What the frick? Just use Beast/Bloodsucker essence and you are unkillable, except to rank V mobs
Can't those V-rank mobs be cheesed as well?
I'm using AST/SGE but it's everyone else that's dying, in critical engagements. I can only cast so many revives while trying to stay out of AoEs.
bozja is just zerling
Only on the chocobo and the time mage
Everyone who knows what they’re doing is in Zadnor
>Is it normal to watch 30 DPS and 5 tanks charge over and over at a critical engagement until they all die?
Not really, atleast not in EU where most of the players atleast have some form of self-heal ready or atleast 1 PLD, WHM or RDM who can carry most of the shitters to victory
>Be WHM
>Red Choctober
>No one has an essance
>Everyone wipes
>Casting rapid fire raises thanks to some potion I forgot the name of
>Not one person I rezed bothered to dodge a single mechanic.
>Eventually 10 vul stacks
>Die
>Shout: "Mass grave @ x ; y"
tl;dr if you ever plan on carrying, don't bother trying as WHM
WHM isn't a healer in Bozja silly, it's a green DPS. The stuff they can use in Bozja makes them able to get such large bursts that you can literally see chunks of the bosses HP bar get deleted every time they cast their burst when you have a properly prepared WHM with you
tbh thats for when everyone in the engagement isn't dead
isn't that 6.3 content
Steps of Faith bros...
Kinda glad it's solo now. I hated drawing it in roulette because it was a boring slog, nobody did mechanics anyway.
I'm actually upset. Not that steps hasn't been a joke you can clear by pushing one button since late SB, but it's one of the few unique trials and if Hildebrand is required for the relics you know those will be made solo as well. I really wanted a Steps of Faith Unreal...
Now that it’s solo it’s probably better now and you have to use the dragon slayers
>Get this in roulette a month ago
>Fail twice
>Turns out I was the only one doing mechanics
>Have to explain even for non-first timers
>some frickers leave

Being there for almost an hour is not very fun...
>Wiping in roulette
How? I remember people hyping up TGC, but I have yet to wipe to that fricker on any of my AR roulettes
Probably the right combo of new players and frickers who "winged it" before and didn't really know mechanics
You'd be amazed how many players are just god-awful. I remember during 2.0 there were tons of people complaining they couldn't continue the story because they couldn't beat Titan hard...

Somehow I just don't believe you. Your DPS would have to be flat out doing nothing to fail that trial in this day and age.
Have they announced which divines are next? Are they updating that raid?
That's 6.3 you dunder head
This is gonna become canon isn't it?
I honestly would like to see the Sultana as part of the Trust system
But how to implement her and what would her class be? Thaumaturge? Paladin? Sword Saint?.. Rune Fencer/Spell blade?
Serious question, has she ever shown any ability to fight? Or at least being able to manipulate aether even to noob-degree? If that is the case then they could start from then on
Honestly, it hasn't really shown much on it. But given how her line goes all the way back to the Black Mages of Mhach, I'd assume her family has decent magic potential.
>has she ever shown any ability to fight?
Not a once, she has no demonstrated talent in magic or weaponry. Her lineage goes back to Mhachi black mages but she's never demonstrated any magic potential. Hardly surprising since her whole character arc is she's an incompetent child thrust into a sink-or-swim role and struggles, but stays afloat
Pugilist Nanamo
>small fists so cute she'd heal WoL

She uses Raubahn's mummified arm as a club

>He hears her screaming and turns around only to see her barreling towards him while being chased by like ten things two of which are Chimeras
>Relic quest line locked behind Hildibrand
>Island Sanctuary actually looks larger and more interesting than initially thought
Not going to lie, those were based as frick decisions for this patch cycle.
Might resub now.
It's real funny seeing all the Hildibrand skippers seething right now.
We are also going into Sil'dih ruins with a certain someone(definitely Nanamo). 6.2 is looking good
>Sil'dih ruins with a certain someone(definitely Nanamo
We're gonna make up for the war crimes Ul'dah committed by raiding and plundering the remains of their city on the Sultana's coin. That'll pull one over the Monetarists.
It's funny how whenever Sil'dih ruins get uncovered the Monetarists immediately buy the land and say there was nothing there... What are they hiding?
For laughs and profit. Sil'dih ruins are used for the jumping puzzle in the Gold Saucer.
"It's just an amusement park, pay no mind. Get your MGP."
Or they were the ones that were behind the whole conflict and they are trying to ensure it doesn't get out.
>Sil'dih needs water so they send a massive to Ul'dah, asking if it's ok for them to redirect a waterway

AAHAHAHAHAHAH
WHY THE FRICK DO I HAVE TO DO REDDITBRAND TO GET MY FRICKING RELICS
WHO IS THIS moron FORCING HILDIREDDIT ON ME WHAT THE FRICK
You don't like gentlemen?
Lmao
But I do agree that the whole Hildy content for HW and SB being cutscenes only is boring as all frick except for the Yojimbo fight.
Mandervillechads assemble
I skipped the cutscenes. I'm looking forward to relic now that I can skip this too.
People who are claiming this is a good idea are clearly stupid because they don't see that people will just skip the cutscenes now to rush to the relics.
That's their loss for trying to shove dead content into the mainstream. Now less people will give a shit about it.
Just skip through it.
Jesus step dancing Christ, if you skip every one of the Hildi cut-scenes each quest chain takes at most an hour or two to do (not counting the wait time for the trials) so you'll be able to start grinding after around 5 hours while still having 2 fricking months to complete this shit
I don't understand how people are so fricking butthurt over not being able to start what will probably be a 50 hour grind until they do a small onetime 5 hour thing. It's like the morons crying about being forced to do MSQs to raid at endgame, but atleast they have a point since it will still take 100 hours to get there even if you skip every cutscene as long as you don't buy the boosts.
It's just boring, I'd rather play sunbreak
>sunbreak
Thats a solid game wtf are you talking about, been playing both Sunbreak AND XIV these days
Then do that? I don't understand how people can think our boy Hildi is boring while sucking the BIG BLACK "GRIND" wiener that is the artifact weapon shit.
How is it anymore fun to spend 50+ hours doing the same fricking thing over and over again until you have an item that is not going to be BiS until you spend another 30 hours grinding and even then it's at best a 4% increase in damage?
All artifact weapons are good for nowadays is the galm and maybe doing the content that surrounds it a few times until you get bored with it
Black person it's not hard, questing in FFXIV is boring, not talking about hildi, just in general.
But 90% of the game is questing? If you are not playing for the story or the more MMO-esque components then XIV is a dogshit game and you should stop playing immediately. You've already completed houndreds of hours worth of MSQ, how is this the straw that breaks the camels back?
Read Black person, I took my time with the MSQ, I'll likely take my time with what I have left of hildi as well, my point is that tying this questline to "endgame" is a terrible idea because it will make people that care about the weapons skip the entire questline, instead of doing it when they feel like it.
Hildi quest post ARR is just a string of cutscenes, you don't unlock anything, no trial no nothing, of course most people would take it slow and put some time on the side to read through the story if they cared.
Now? People will just skip it to get to the relics, it's even worse because the player won't care for the story and will just follow the same formula of "Accept quest here" "go there" "deliver here" while skipping everything, sounds incredible.
I thought the highlight of Hildi quest was the story and dialogue, but this actively goes against it since most will now skip it and steamroll it. It's a horrible way to make players invest time in this side content.
So yeah, instead of going to do that, I'd rather play an actual video game.
>it will make people that care about the weapons skip the entire questline, instead of doing it when they feel like it.
That is fricking moronic, there are players who literally skip the entire MSQ just to do Savage yet they still have not made the MSQ optional.
Not only that, but what the players stand to gain is so fricking small that they might aswell not even spend the time on it in the first place. There also exists NG+, so if they all of a sudden start to care once they get their weapon, they can just do it again
>Hildi quest post ARR is just a string of cutscenes, you don't unlock anything, no trial no nothing, of course most people would take it slow and put some time on the side to read through the story if they cared.
Actually play the the fricking thing first anon, christ no wonder why no one takes people who dislike this change seriously, they can't even get facts straight
Ontop of that, THE ENTIRE FRICKING MSQ IS NOTHING BUT A STRING OF FRICKING CUTSCENES, IT'S IDENTICAL IN EVERY WAY EXCEPT THE HILDI QUESTS ARE OPTIONAL. They will also continue to be optional since, as I've already pointed out, the powergain you get from a artifact weapon is so small that it's not even worth the effort, "forced" hildi questline or not, it's GLAM only for 90% of the players who get it and it is that way BY DESIGN
>So yeah, instead of going to do that, I'd rather play an actual video game.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out
Are you a woman? You sound way too emotional over someone simply not liking something of a video game of all things.
Ganker should have made it very clear to you that no gets more emotional about trivial shit than men.
>Strawman
Wow, you sure showed me how not moronic you opinions sound.
I don't really care if someone likes it or not, what I do care about is that people cry over the smallest shit in a game with much bigger problems.
Not only that, but just like what seems to have happened to Bozja/Eureka content, the devs seems to have taken the wrong message with it, which might end up with them never adding any sort if Hildi-esque quest into the game ever again, just because some homosexuals with a chip on their shoulder felt "forced" to do it.
Everything comes at a cost in MMOs since there are only so many hours in a day and so much money to go around in a company, yet there are people who most likely don't even make up 5% of the playerbase who always cries the loudest about stupid shit that in the end effects everyone but them negatively
>still keeps going
of course only a "woman" would like the hildibrand questline.
>Can't take that people call your opinions stupid on a website that is all about discussion
>Call people women to cope with the fact that they don't agree with you
Lol, lmao even
You can disagree as much as you like even though you know I'm right, you were just getting way too emotional for any conversation to be had, so I stopped caring.
Says the guy who started with this
I don't understand how it's okay for some anons to add dramatic flare to their posts, but the moment someone else does they "lose" for some unknown reason
Simple, he's based and your cringe.
Checks out I guess. It's impossible to argue with earth shattering facts like that
I don't think its an issue with the story itself but the questing, everybody seems to agree that the questing is carried hard by the story and its characters
>17 monsters and then wait until August for Bazelgeuse... again
>play story-heavy game
>complain you have to do the story to do new content
Yeah, I don't get it. If you don't like questing, why would you play the game? There's too much of it to just ignore it.
I don't get it either. Hildibrand is full of cool emotes, glams and even trials. The Stormblood Trial is still one of my favorites to this day.
>This cutscene is not skippable
what now genius
It's been so long that I don't actually remember if that is a thing in any of the Hildi quests. Any anon who has done it recently who can confirm/deny? Either way, I don't think being forced to watch two or three 2 min scenes is going to affect the completion time in any noticeable way
>hey you play video games to enjoy yourself?
>do 5 hours of this shit you do not enjoy at all!
Autism is a hell of a drug.
>Play a game that is 80% cutscene
>ARE YOU TELLING ME I NEED TO WATCH CUTSCENES SO THAT I CAN GET A SINGLE COOL SKIN!?
>SHIT GAME!
It doesn't make any sense. If you don't like playing story heavy games, then don't. If you can get through the MSQ then your argument is moot since both the weapon and Hildi are and will always be 100% optional and are just more of the same shit you've already spent houndreds of hours on in-game anyway
relics are infinitely more reddit than hildibased

inb4 the relic weapons end up looking as shit as the final resistance weapons
some of them looked pretty good without the glow
PLD and RDM Resistance Weapons look great. Though the cross guard having the spikes point inwards, basically stabbing your hands, looks absolutely fricking stupid on the PLD sword.
Relic weapons peaked at ARR because nothing beats Excalibur and Aegis Zeta.
I don't like the models for PLD's ARR weapons, they come across as overdesigned. Shield's too small and sword's too ornate + blade too triangular. NO BIG SHIELD NO BUY
Most of the final Resistance weapons look great, what're you on about. For the ones that don't look great you can backpedal to the Law's Order or base weapons.
yeah I sure do love the walmart logo
Get the matte replica from the Rowena bawd off to the left of the smith then. No glow.
Only the matte versions look good. The glow ruines them
Only one I've found where the glow looks good on it was the Gunbreaker relic since it makes the cartridges shoot light out of the cylinder
Everything else once you go matte you'll never go back
Monk had the best weapon imo.
DRK has a pretty good one but I think GNB wins the Resistancebowl. A bigass version of Revolver is really good.
please god turn off those shitty glows.
Yeh sure.
Thank you. I abhor those stupid tacky crystals.
Normally I do too but the glowing edge and cartridges on Blade's Resolve beats out the Wal-Mart logo for me. It makes the weapon resemble FF8's Lionheart which I'm sure is the intention.
Meanwhile I'm still waiting.
There's two of these which suggests they were gonna be NIN weapons. Maybe it's best these aren't accessible.
Like what the frick was the point of this shot. Just makes me angry thinking about it.
no kaiten, no sub
>Troia dungeon next

Scarmiglione definitely
Wtf they locked relics behind hildibrand? Why?
I guess I finally have a reason to do it now.
It will be just the joke weapon glam contest winners.
They want you to stop being a single content-only gay
At work, give me a qrd if there are SAM or NIN changes
NIN is still the best melee, idk if SAM is getting kaiten back
WHAT IS IT LIKE WHEN YOU PULL BACK THE CURTAINS,

THE EDGE IS CALLING TONIGHT

I spent way too much time in their doing BA to help people and farming cash
>Raid Black folk complaining about having a one week savage delay just because they don't want to spam the normal version for a week combing through mechanics
You WILL watch those cutscenes.
Really? The raid Black folk I know actually like these changes, I guess Yoshi-P was right in saying the community is fractured about this.
Its mainly the homosexuals who want to race for world first complaining since it means they're going to be spending a full week autistically studying normal mode mechanics in preparation for savage.
anything that makes world first gays seethe is pretty good
This is a based change if crafted gear and recipes come before savage unlock, otherwise it's borderline useless and only appeals to casual ditz who complain about indecision because they want t to do MSQ and not be pressured to touch raids for fear of losing a day of week one raid progress. It's not going to make hardcore raiders touch other content.
Only the most sweaty and smelly of raidgays would complain about this
Why would they? It gives them time to prepare
Sfia is malding because everyone will be starting at the same time without queues to cuck other teams
Not exactly, streamers still have advantage if crafted gear and food is also delayed by one week because they always start prog asap while their FC members craft gear and food for them and then they pick it up by the time they start the second or third tier of the fight.
I think he's malding because he's gonna be forced to grind the normal raids for a week 8 hours a day in hopes to get a few hints for the savages.
What's funny is that the only people who actually think this is a bad thing are the 1% autists that only play this game to parse and even with them there is probably a divide in people who think this is a good idea or not since now they don't feel forced to skip everything else anymore
I bet these same raidgays b***h about Savage not being released on expansion day.
Literally raiders asked for this to have time to enjoy msq and the raid story
Scarmiglione
Reminder that they hide trials that are in the MSQ only.
Which means they are incorporating the EW trial series into the patch MSQs. We ARE getting at least 4 MSQ trials before 7.0.
yeah I'm gonna have to skip through all this shit, but if the relic weapons are gold saucer themed I'll just skip them anyways. Best relics are Zeta and Lux anyways

It's the same shit as people believing Dancer was going to be a healer job with the only evidence being anecdotal in nature("healer has the least number of jobs, therefore the next new job has to be a healer!") then getting mad when the expectations they built hilariously too high for themselves got torn down.
It honestly sounds far more based than just a private house. Maybe I'm in the minority thinking this?
>Roulettes will be filled with Gilgamesh

Wait, in order to do their EW relic, skippers are going to have to do all the Hildi content from ARR, aren't they? kek
Probably the first step of the relics gives you joke weapons and later on the real ones
Please, please, please, please let the savage dungeons be hard. I want something like the bozja savage dungeon (it was actually fun)

Good. Frick that troony. Hope he kills whateverselves if they hate Hildy quests.
It's like Yoshida knew they'd hate it. How does he do it?
Ebin.
Bruh, it takes 1 or 2 days if you read everything, it's not like you have to go through a second MSQ.
>there are people who don't do all the blue unlock quests
These people literally skip all MSQ cutscenes day one of expansiob relesse early access so they can get to the extreme trials.
>He doesn't have all ARR and 2.X dungeons unlocked

HOW? Do these gays just skip through everything without seeing the bare minimum of side content? I started in 2020 and have everything unlocked dungeon and trial wise.
People these days are used to conveyer belt content. If it isn't part of the main scenario they never unlock it.
Me too I started near the end of ShB and unlocked and did every dungeon/trialraid before moving onto the next expansion.
As long as they're fricking around with older dungeons, I really hope they do something about Haukke Hard's "btw if you dps too hard you wipe" issue.
>btw if you dps too hard you wipe
>Not playing a tank, using lb and reprisal to save the group

I think it was Tam-tara (Hard) where I went in as dancer, did a standard step, and ended up wiping the party because it nuked shit too hard

I mean you don’t have to u lock any of the hard mode ARR dungeons, I still haven’t unlocked potd because I don’t feel the need too.
it's pretty easy to not give a frick about superfluous stuff and just mainline the story, maybe they wanted to start doing side stuff once they finished the story

I hate that the word "joke" doesn't exist in zoomers heads, everything is a "meme".
People had fricking years to do them and they actually unlock trials. Even if you don't like the story you might as well fricking do them.

WTF i love hildy even more

I did the content
now I have 3 expansions of japanese humor cutscenes to go through

>people did nothing but complain about eureka and bozja
>”ok we wont try shit like that again”
>”have more quest/delivery only relics”
>”NOOOO WE WANT EUREKA/BOZJA BACK!”
this may shock you but there's more than 1 person that plays the game and they all have different preferences
Eureka was based for relic prog. Bozja was awful because you progressed 10x faster doing fates and content outside of Bozja.
>progressed 10 times faster outside
Only today, in its prime, zone farming was better and PotD/DR was still a million times faster to get mats, it was even faster with premades
i never finished eureka because i just hated having an alternate leveling system but couldn't use it to level other classes like in bozja
>Liked Eureka, could be improved
>Liked Bozja, could be improved
>Liked Relic farming, definitely needs an improvement
gfg, am glad am not these gays
I never complained about Eureka and Bozja, Black person, and I was actively hoping Endwalker would get its own entry.
The people who disliked Bozja/Eureka didn't think far enough ahead to stumble upon the fact that they would still be doing pretty much the exact same fricking grind, but now without content tailor-made around it.
Now they are still going to cry b***h tears over still being forced to do quests, fates and grind old dungeons and everyone else will have to suffer not getting any new content to grind because of these morons. Even if you dislike Bozja/Eureka for any reason, I think we can all agree that it was more fun doing that then running last expansions dungeons for the 500th time again.
fricking this, HW and ARR relics were boring as shit to get. Yeah sure, HW is now million times easier and faster, same goes with ARR but ARR relics are still a pain to get. Eureka relics at least gave you the time to run around doing other shit at the same time and same goes to Bozjan relics which also allowed you to farm for other stuff while at it
If they did Zodiak books, maybe they would see that Bozja/Eureka doesn't seem as bad.
>Zodiak books
Nearly a decade later but this crap and the atma grind still haunts me
I never understood why newbies are scared of the books. You just go do fates and you are done
*and dungeons and levequests and hunt down around 30 enemies haphazardly across the 2.0 game world
It's mostly the tedium of it since you also have to do all this 9 times.
And THEN you get to meld 75 grade 1 to 4 materia.
And THEN you get to do Aurum Vale around 40 times.
I hated the light part in zodiac weapons, but the un nerfed books are the worst. Back then we didn’t have flying so if you missed a date you were fricked and you couldn’t solo dungeons.
I liked Eureka after they added Logo Actions
I disliked bozja because the zone is fricking horrible
The relic quests for Bozja were mostly done outside of it though and they were fricking horrible too since you had to farm trials and old fates and a lot of boring shit.
I am cool with quests/delivery though as long as it is not crap like 2.0 books
Those that did relic quests outside of bozja were gays and did so out of personal preference, fastest way was still within bozja and premades and it was objectively more profitable as it allowed you to get other collectibles/sellables while at it
It's a double fake out and Hildy lands in Corvos, which is full of fates and chores.
There's bound to be Corvos content but that might just be the new deep dungeon.
Criterion dungeon and new deep dungeon development comes at a price and that price seems to be no Eureka/Bozja-like in EW.
Perhaps. Either way, I'd expect the content to generate the relic materials we otherwise get from old stuff.
are you ready to grind materials for the relics doing the nier raids?
>replacing equipment with consumable items
What the FRICK was Square even thinking with Bozjan Front anyway? No one likes WoW's fricking borrowed power system. I don't blame people for not wanting to use lost actions and essences, the very idea of your "skills" running out or your "armor" being a one-time consumable makes me sick.
It it was gear specific to the area no one would mind, but consumable?
They made them 100x easier to acquire compared to Eureka, literally just play the game.
Honestly that won't solve anything. It's like how Fromsoft keeps watering down invasions, the people that hate invasions won't accept them just because they are watered down.
You get so many lost actions and they're so cheap on the MB that they might as well be infinite. WoW style borrowed power would mean the lost actions are usable in raids
Black person, you get houndreds of them thrown your way when you as much as sneeze in the general direction of a few fates. Not only that but ALL of the temp items/armor can be completely ignored since all of the content (outside of savage) is balanced around players not having them in the first place.
Your Bozja Rank is more important since that actually unlocks content for you to do and when you reach the end of it, it gives you permanent buffs that you'll always have in Bozja from that day onwards
necromancer and lone hero only mattered back in stormblood both titles are ultra casualized now and you can clear it with 1 go on the right job
Every title is casualized if you don't get it the patch it released. Just stick with one that you think sounds cool or has special meaning.

That's Arachne 100%, in greek mythology she got fricked over by Athena.
I hope she is not this tier last boss. I want a werewolf daddy
I would love a hydra fight that's nothing but heads and has no hard enrage but you die to overwhelming add damage if you kill heads too fast or something.

>still now news about the new reconstruction zone
This expansion really forgot about crafters huh??
Good, gives me more time to level them up to 90.
Island Sanctuary is literally gathering/crafting content
>late august
Fricking why
Because patch cycles are 4 months now instead of 3.5 months. Late August is exactly when it was to be expected and very late December/early January will be 6.3.
Don't forgot that most of the stuff they mention is actually 6.25 and that isn't until October.
to be fair, aside from the Yojimbo fight, the Stormblood Hildi questine wasn't very good
>Stormblood Hildi questine wasn't very good
You have absolute shit tastes.
>the manderville bloodline will be tainted and overtaken by moonc*t genes
I think retiring exploratory missions for an expansion is a good move overall. Gives them time to more thoroughly plan out the next one and keeps players from getting entirely sick of the format as quickly.
Exploratory missions unironically carried shadowbringers through a year long content drought.
>getting entirely sick of the format as quickly
Aren't Eureka and Bozja completely different though?
Oh, I get it now. Savage will be 3 weeks after 6.2. So, when does Normal drop? still 2 weeks?
>Oh, I get it now.
Evidently not, normal drops the same day as the patch, and savage drops a week later
Then why would anyone complain about that? Don't they want their content sooner?
No one should be complaining. Casuals don't care about Savage being a week later than normal, and raiders should be happy that they don't have to rush through everything and prepare on the same day of the patch.
Give me the fricking DRG/AST changes Yoshida. PvP balance can suck my nuts. Gimme DRG changes. Gimme DRG changes. Gimme DRG changes.
Just look at what they did to SMN, its probably what is coming for you.
Rival Wings returning in 6.2 lad
I WELCOME IT WITH OPEN ARMS, DRAGOON IS MISERABLE BEFORE LV. 70 AND CHANGING JUMP INTO HIGH JUMP WAS A BANDAID
>DRAGOON IS MISERABLE BEFORE LV. 70
Every dps job is miserable before 70. Having your skills downgraded for low level content is awful.
Dragoon is ESPECIALLY miserable before lv. 70
DRG is ok by 63 or whenever the HW gcds tie into each other, the only real changes from that point are jump being 2 presses and geirskogul eventually becoming a button that gives you a better dragonfire dive every minute
You mean made it actually fun to play? Summoner mains love to pretend their job was galaxy brained but it was always simple as frick.
>muh 2 minute opener
It was dumb and simple.
I remember unlocking summoner after leveling scholar and, having not played it at all, going into emerald ex with some crafted gear.
I got a green parse despite not knowing anything about the job. Probably even easier pre-EW because you'd deal disgusting amounts of damage even if you weren't good. Now it's just alright damage.
I mean, as its every other Job, all jobs are braindead with BLM and SMN being harder than the rest and BLM actually requiring you to pay attention to your surroundings
So, you are saying that they are going to dumb it down (lol, as if they can make DRG any dumber than it already is) and make it more fun to play? SIGN ME THE FRICK UP!
This. HW people need to let those days go, their focus is making jobs fun to play rather than overloading players with useless complexity for the sake of complexity.

what's wrong with DRG? I thought quickening the animations was 90% the issues people had, other 10% being snapshotting during a jump
The developers say "too many buttons right now" but my own personal grievance with it is how awful the leveling experience is which also translates into how awfully DRG plays at lower levels in synced content.

How much will island sanctuary be like sonic adventure 2 chao garden? I will unironically afk on my own private island without inviting anyone in.
It seems to be most like Harvest Moon or Animal Crossing but you'll probably be able to AFK all day in it just fine.
Did they show any slides/footage about island sanctuary?
No footage, still too many bugs.
The best news to come out of this is the possibility they'll bundle FF11 with the FF14 sub

That's actually really good, recently started FF11 and it's pretty comfy. But I don't like paying 2 subs, so it's currently on hold.
>Q: A big question for players who support the current state of the game is “How long will FFXI remain in service?” What are your thoughts on the timing for an MMORPG to close its doors?

>Y: Personally, I intend to keep the servers available even if we enter maintenance mode, as long as Creative Business Unit III remains profitable overall, for the sake of people who have built up so many memories or are still creating more in Vana’diel.

>IF IT'S RELEASING 1 WEEK AFTER, WHY WOULD ANYONE COMPLAIN IT IS COMING OUT SOONER?
some people complain about everything tbh
Usually Savage doesn't get delayed, it comes out at the same time as normal mode. The two weeks thing only happens at x.0 patches.
How fricking new are you?
>so much content
Let me guess. Youre the kind of player who dies constantly in Dungeons right?
The funny thing is that you're probably dead on
I dont see how any of this is long long lasting. Seems pretty DoD1 like always.
>r-raider
Can you give up on this boogeyman? Even non-raiding players have noted this. It's why the optimal play is to wait for a free login period near the EoE to actually get about a week's worth of content.
I'm sure it'll be disappointing but i hope it's not for your sake.
>5 dungeons
You mean 1 dungeon. You dont get more than 2 dungeons a patch outside of Expansion launch.
yeah even non-raiding players cry about all the lack of raid content they're getting

>Implying you won't need 25M MGP to upgrade your weapon
That would be fricking hilarious and also fitting seeing how we are supposed to get the help of papa Manderville to craft it. It also lines up with the mention of "new saucer content in 6.X" they had in one of the live letters before EW release.
The amount of salt it would generate would be glorious

The only good things about Eureka are the level design and BA, and level design mostly goes out of the window after Pagos though the environments are still good. Bozja while ugly and boring was far more interesting in execution, I can see why they gutted most of the brainless tedium
The morons who told you it was kino were probably FF11 players. Eureka is literally just FF11 zones on FF14.
It's incredible how XI players act like their game is some underrated gem and the pinnacle of MMO gameplay
People claiming old mmos have "soul", especially something like FFXI, as someone who played them will never be not funny to me
XI was one of the most autistic number grinding min max game I ever played even after 15 years
If you took time to just chat and chill or explore casually In that game you were fricking fallen behind and branded as a loser
I'll never understand why XI players like gear-swapping
because combat was 90% boring auto attack and the Japanese cant code so the community turned a engine oversight into minmax autism
Story of FFXI in a nutshell, really
Thats because Eureka is poorly translated XI content and XI players are just about 9 gays parroting the same shit over and over, nothing of value in their dishonest opinions
>copies XI overworld
>mobs are bloated XIV overworld mobs and dont have unique abilities
>streamlined XIV battle system with slapped on elemental wheel that offers no depth outside of RPS and clashes with the slower XI and older MMO design
>gear effects are pointless due to stat design of XIV
>doesnt incentivize higher players to help lower players
>exploration is moot as there is nothing to discover but more mobs that use the RPS system but behave like vanilla XIV mobs
>FATE train
Sure smells like Scapegoating
Even if you don't like it, it's their attempt to copy FF11 gameplay into FF14.
An attempt doesnt mean anything if the entire design conflicts with the game you're trying to add it to. Its like blaming Racing games for a shit racing minigame a cooking simulator added. Simply put Yoshida continually fails at exploratory content. Hell it doesnt even get the Exploring aspect down.
>Baldesion Arsenal is interesting but way too easy and full of actual schizo trannies who behave as if though their discord server has the only right to it
To be fair i've literally never seen an "organic" BA run because the steps required to complete one would never happen without the preparation you get in discord. Wrangling 56 morons in a discord server is difficult enough; I couldn't imagine trying to do a run off the cuff.
Filtered
>EW relic weapon locked behind worthless jap humor filler
Why?
To make morons seethe, wait until you discover there will be unskippable cutscenes lmao.
>quest centric progression
So no more bojza/eureka? Are they really this fricking lazy that if they make feel dungeons then they just cut content somewhere else and you homosexuals are okay with it?
Every expansion has people crying about cut content and how morons will lap it up and so far every expansion has had the same or more content relative to the expansion before it. A big Shadowbringers crying point was that it had fewer dungeons than Stormblood, except 1) it didn't and 2) Shadowbringers also had a second alliance-raid series through Bozja.
>1) it didn't
Except they did had lesser per patch
Stormblood had a higher dungeon count than Heavensward did when factoring in Baldesion Arsenal and Shadowbringers had an identical dungeon count to Stormblood + alliance raid. Who cares about per-patch when all that tallies out to is your Expert roulette having a Hard dungeon in it?
you will do stormblood fates and you will like it
Last expansion had Bozja but not deep dungeon so if you expect every kind of side content every expansion then that was already cut content.
But Bozja/Eureka still exist and you can do them at any time.
Don't forget -
>play ranged phys dps
>want to PF a piece of content
>open PF
>none of the parties have dragoons
>cry
They've been namedropping Corvos hard since launch and still no announcements, but remember that Bozja also started with just the Varis trial and 1k poetics grinds, and we didn't get Bozja Southern Front until 5.35.
6.35 won't be until February 2023.
Bozja and Eureka both marked progression with quests though.
Bozja just started off as the boring quest with Cid and the varis trial. We didn't get southern front until 6.3 and Zadnor 6.5.
Old SMN's only problem was the pet ai bugging out or losing wyrmwave casts because you had to move. The actual rotation was fine, and we did great DPS.
>No new Bozja/eureka zones full of new raids and group content where you have fun with other players
>just the HW relic quest garbage instead and mythic+ dungeons
FRICKING WHY? FRICK EVERYONE WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT THEM. THE MOST INTERESTING CONTENT THAT CHANGED THE GAME UP IS REMOVED AND WE HAVE THE SAME FORMULAIC GARBAGE SINCE HW
Im glad i never finished Endwalker and unsubbed. Endwalker has made no new interesting content while also including a shitty story expansion
Bozja/Eureka stuff wouldn't get introduced until 6.3 anyways, same as Shadowbringers. Eureka was introduced in 4.2 but also had one more zone and a loooooooot more tedium. Quit yer bellyachin'.
Eureka was shit and Bozja is slightly less shit.
frick you homosexual yoshi piss dicksucker, eureka was actually really unique
and despite bozjas shitty zone, i fricking loved doing chaotic boss fates, watching duels and doing big farm pulls with randoms. The bozja raids were fun and THE FIRST BOZJA RAID WAS THE MOST UNIQUE RAID YOSHI PISS DID THAT FELT SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT FROM THE SAME FORMULAIC RAIDS SINCE ARR AND HES GONNA REMOVE IT ALL JUST FOR MORE BORING GRINDS FOR THE SAFE SPACE homosexualS WHO LOVES THIS FORMULAIC GARBAGE THAT HES BEEN RELEASING FOR A DECADE
KYS homosexual
>and despite bozjas shitty zone, i fricking loved doing chaotic boss fates, watching duels and doing big farm pulls with randoms
Fricking this. These zones are what keep hoy having fun with the game. Theres no fricking reason to remove remove them. Theyre that something that give a different feeling from the streamline shit that the game is now
bozja looked like shit :^)
>eureka was unique
unique doesn't make things good you mouthbreather. Nier raids were "unique" but are widely considered to be crap.
And I agree on Bozja raids being fun. Hell, BA is also fun. The rest of Bozja is ugly, worthless trash. Most of Eureka was relatively good looking, worthless trash
I dont' give a shit about Yoshi P or the dev team either and I find most of their choices to be moronic and slowly dumbing down the game. However, Eureka did not require turning your brain on in the slightest.
it's just your dumb 3rd world Black person brain projecting praise on my post, apply your own advice.
>Nier raids were "unique"
?
>Nier raids were "unique" but are widely considered to be crap.
No they're not. What the frick are you talking about? Only some contrarians here think they're shit
>only some contrarians here think they're shit
not even nier fans like the raids
overly long fights
awful story
only good thing about them is some glams like the aiming/scouting top from tower
most people just complete the raids for the 2b ass
I loved Nier Replicant and Automata but yeah the raids are kind of a drag even having played the games
Now the glam? There are some really good pieces in some of them
>Now the glam? There are some really good pieces in some of them
Not when you take into account that the shitty mobile game has better design in the clothes than this multimilionare company
>t-the fights are long
>b-but the story
holy shit you have no argument
those are both two arguments
the fights aren't fun because they last 15 minutes and just loop 5 or 6 mechanics
people DO play XIV for the story so the story being shit makes the raids worse
deal with it
the fights aren't even that long and the story is irrelevant since we're just talking about the raids lmao
the fights are long and the mechanics of dodging slow moving orbs are boring. Even the pathetic attempts at introducing new gameplay additions such as the virus minigame in tower or non snapshotted aoes like on 9s just don't work.
Story is unfathomable garbage. It's actually terrible. We're in a story-based MMO, remember?
The HP of the bosses is incredibly bloated. Even with with maximum ilvl sync killing the tower bosses still takes a fricking decade. The trash fights are largely uninteresting and full of padding, such as the 2P fights in tower being spread apart just enough for most AoEs not to work efficiently. So yes, they're fricking bloated. Do you have any actual arguments or are you just gonna post drivel
I actually like the mechanics in the Nier raids, but you are 100% correct with the "Shit story" and "It takes too fricking long" points. The funny thing is that the reason why it takes so long isn't just because it is/was overtuned, it's because with every player that AFKs thorugh it, they add another 30 sec to the fight. With how shit so many players are at this game, the AFK Black folk and mouthbreathing morons makes the fights take 2x longer than they should.
If you ever run these raids with competent teams you'll see what I mean
Every single run of the Nier raids is a breeze and don't really take much longer than other raids. What the frick are you talking about?
The mechanics ARE fine, it really is that the instance takes 55+ minutes, it's too fricking long, and this is without any potential full wipes.
I'd rather have good, semi difficult 35-40m encounters (original TG CID) that 60m of killing mobs.
>bozja and eurka aren't boring grinds
dumb Black person
Eureka was implemented because it was something Yoship personally wanted you moronic gay. Its shit either way and thats why they never implemented something similar
I have every relic except for 2 healer relics from Eureka and I can tell you it was shit Anon
The troll discord homosexuals and boring time consuming grind really aren't all that engaging
Managed to farm 5 SB relics, and now I only go to Eureka for the easy gil, nothing else, how can these gays even think it was good content baffles me
>Eureka
>most interesting content
There is still 6.3 and the fact that we still don't know what the frick they have been setting up with the 6.1 MSQ ending. Unless the deep dungeon really is meant as a Bozja replacement, then we are likely to get it in 6.3, just like we got Bozja in 5.3
Better be way bigger in scope than the past Deep Dungeons have been for me to take it as a Bozja replacement, I fricking hate POTD and HoH.
>sinking millions upon millions of gil worth of materials, crystals, and played hours gathering and crafting everything myself
You gays told me this would eventually pay off, it's been 5 months and I'm just reaching submersible endgame. This shit better start making profit soon or I'm going to go nuclear.
trust the plan
i was in your shoes until about two weeks ago. Currently running 4x SSSC++ builds and they bring back between 180 and 600k per day. Still good money, but hardly close to the fictional amounts people spew
How is it possible to spend so much when you're gathering and crafting everything yourself? The only time I've spent money crafting is when I was too lazy to gather.
I already made a profit just from leveling all my crafters to max from Ishgard restoration moogle lottery. No idea what any of the submersible/FC crafting shit is about
This is why you don't buy those dogshit seal lootboxes, kids.
Does your submersible disappear if you leave your free company? Or do you get to keep it even if you switch companies?
Submersibles are tied to the FC, you outfit them with parts which you can take if you leave the FC, but remember a submersible always need to be outfitted with one piece in every slot or you have to destroy the submersible and reset its level back to 1 undoing months of work.
The parts are also Marketable if you have never used them, or you can also transfer them if you have your buyer join your FC and take the parts from the FC chest even if they're used.
One step closer to having an island full of Lalafell women.
Solo Deep Dungeon > Eureka/Bozja
There I said it.
>Yasale is a crafter in solo dungeon
Wut?
It's a black mage using a wand I think.
BLM with a scepter/wand.
That's a one-handed weapon for thaumaturges my non-2.0-playing fren
>No Shiva weapons
Souless
what dungeon is this? I don't recognize it at all
Sohm Al and Aery.
>there are people that don't know about the era of wands
Aren't wands better in Eureka or Bozja because of how ilevel sync works? I remember it was one of those two that you get another stat boost you wouldn't get otherwise.
I think they hotfixed that a few weeks after people figured it out. But it does give you some better stat allocation in 2.0 content when you get level sync
>wands ever being relevant beyond 1.X
BLM and WHM Wand/Shield relic never ever
I'm a newbie on free trial about to hit gil cap
What do?

I bought the game once I hit the gil cap
Don't worry too much about gil honestly. If you plan to continue beyond the trial the game showers it on you.
Cry, because there is no longer ANY way to bank or otherwise offload that money ANYWHERE, you either spend it or any other money you earn vanishes into the ether

Deep dungeon is just boring, not necessarily hard just long AND boring.
Ultimate is at least interesting and has a cool/fun stage since it's you and 7 others fighting some all powerful being.
Savage Delay is a GOOD thing, let's people craft gear and prep and consume the rest of the content.
I haven't done a full relic ever, but forcing Hildibrand is pretty cringe.

lmao
No, I will not kill trash mobs for hours on end until I understand their patterns, I wouldn't equip the title and the accomplishment is not satisfying for me.
If you like it, all the better for you.
But my favorite part of new dungeons is the bosses at the end, not the mobs leading up.
Just use a landmine bro, I love killing shit with those on HoH.
I'm guessing summer event starts with the release of the patch in August?
Reward outfit is already in the files though.
how kind of them to release it just in time for me to put it on alphinaud's mom
Too bad her boob sliders are at 10/100.
...and?
Big breasts are needed to offset giraffezens' other proportions.
Point taken, you're correct.
>proportions
>World First raider that was paying 25 million gil every tier for his crafted gear within 30 minutes of servers coming online already cancelled for next tier
Frick you Yoshi-P you communist shit
Why don't they just release the crafted gear a week later
People kept begging for savage to be delayed by 1 week so it'd be easier to gear up for prog and enjoy the story and other patch content. It'd defeat the point if the crafting gear was delayed.
I see, I thought it was just about making it like 6.0 where they delayed both crafted gear and savage together.
I really enjoy when crafting israelites get fricked.
asmongold said its too little too late, its over, wow won......
Good, i'm glad he got falseflagged into oblivion to not play our game lmao.
Stormblood filtered him kek.
>Brags about beating Ultimate before EW
>Gordias Savage made him shit pants
>Love to see it
>WoW streamers that rely on carries can't hack it in FFXIV content, where one person is usually capable of fricking it up for everybody
>all of their numbers tank
>the ones that actually enjoy and play the game still see consistent success since they didn't break down crying about the game at any point
I think this has unironically shown how lazy almost all western mmorpg streamers are and have been coasting for years, being carried but think somehow they're skilled. They're even worse than gacha players.
Crafting your own reality doesn't mean it's actually reality. Come home friend...
Any info in that eastern armor that was datamined?
It's theorized to be the next series reward for PvP (available in August, 6.2) since its gear ID is right next to Archfiend's.
Pvp is kinda turbo shit but you lose/win so fast that is fun for when you wanna shut down your brain. Hope it doesnt die like the feast
PvP is actually still active so it's pretty secure in how long it's gonna last. Much more accessible, very fast matches, there's a definite skill element, and win-trading is pretty low (but still happens and Yoshida mentioned they're gonna frick up people trying to queue at the same time for easy wins or teaming/premade purposes).
Archfiend is equippable on all jobs. Trust the plan.
>PvP is actually still active
Casual is yes, but ranked is pretty fricking dead since it takes almost twice as long to find a ranked match than it does to play one currently.
I mean, there is no real reason to do ranked with all the autism it goes in it. Plus the best rewards are all in the season pass.
I prefer doing a casual and don't care if I win or lose.
Can I see a pic?
looks good, which means it wont be for SAM
>more actual samurai armor for SAM
nice
Welp, I guess I know what I'm spending my time on at the start of 6.2. Not as cool as the Season 1 armor, but cool nonetheless
Next season of PVP is actually 6.18 so this TUE I think
Gonna agree with the other anon, I personally think you're the trash mob tbqh
>Next season of PVP is actually 6.18 so this TUE I think
Series reward, not season reward, unfortunately. We don't get another progression-path for PvP until 6.2.
frick, when is 6.18. I'm gonna have to grind that shit.
next Tuesday
HOLY FRICKING SHIT
You have until 6.2 to grind it out if you are not done already. So another two months or so worth of grind time
Really? I thought it was done at 6.18
Here is how it works
It's just the season ending which doesn't matter unless you want the rewards from being in Crystal and top 100. The series stuff doesn't swap out til 6.2.
Whew i was about to go full moron and spam pvp shit to get level 25 thank frick i don't need to do it then.
All you get from seasonal rewards is a title and some shitty background stuff for your player plate. It's not woth the effort IMO
wait what's the dif between season and series?
I wasn't around when they announced PVP changes and seasons
It works a bit differently from the Feast where a season and series were about the same, but 6.1 to 6.2 was also mentioned as a special exception so it'll probably be synchronous from here out.
A season tracks your precious-metal ranking in ranked play and gives you rewards at its end. A series is what you get series EXP from at the end of any match and you claim crystals/rewards/adventurer plate frames from in the Series Malmstones window. The series is intended to last between each major patch, so the current series is from 6.1 to 6.2.
What if I told you it dyes well?
Unknown, but should probably pair well with the Heavensturn kabutos (the dragon and tiger ones look good as actual samurai helmets) and the Genji kabuto. Being you're a stinky rabbit you could probably pair it nicely with the Shadowbringers artifact mengu.
Too bad the tiger one looks like shit because of the facial hair and the out of place nose
It looks silly but it was a thing, historically. The intent of a mengu was usually to terrify the enemy so often it was to show the samurai's own face in a terrifying relief, or call to mind an oni.
that's how they looked in real life though
>it dyes
>That white dye along with some of the more "asian" swords on PLD
Please anon, my dick can't get any more erect
Wow that's how the Genji set should have looked
New SAM glam holy moly
Looks nice, does it have a helmet?
Not like I can wear it since i'm a male viera, but still wanna see.
Im cumming bros. Its just too beautiful
UMMMMMMMMMMMM
