All memes aside, it actually is. This is the only MMO I've ever played where the dudes on girl characters actually go out of their way to RP women. There's plenty of dudes on girl characters in other MMOs like WoW and they don't act like literal gays.
I know it's dead but PSO2 has way more mental illness per capita. The /vg/ thread is literally just unwell men posting images of their coomer characters and cattily sniping at other attention whores daily.

Always knew EW was a frankensteined mess of two expansions. Fucking hell
The gear from Alzadaal's Legacy you're complaining about doesn't match the Hannish aesthetic at all, nevermind the climate it's found in, it doesn't surprise me they're using it as winter military-formal
Pandaemonium is good, had fun in a normal mode for the first time in a long time. I have no desire to do the MSQ, is it good now? and the very end was a flashforward to Elidibus's soul being reborn right?
>spoiler
Wonder how long it takes for a soul to get recycled. That young lad at the end of the ShB 5.0 msq was definitely the soul of Ardbert.

Exactly. I'm 200% certain the original story had actual pacing.
I thought this patch's MSQ was better than 6.2 and 6.3, but still not back up to 6.1.
Pacing issues are still there and likely coming from a hastily written filler arc without checking if it could actually fill the time it was allotted.

This really does feel like a storyline that should have lasted 3 patches in total but they had to stretch the fuck out of it so they threw in Zero and a million fucking meaningless obstacles.
Look man do you have any better ideas how we're going to drag the last patch MSQ trial around to killing the same bro again this time, we already killed Elidibus three times and Fandanny four times this is all we've got to pretend it's actually connected to the expansion.
We'll turn Azdaja back to normal just like we turned Zero back to normal back in 6.1 with the help of Hydaelyns' light crystal or The First's light.
Azdaja ends up too weak but will be given an Au Ra body.
She'll come with us to Meracydia to meet up with Tiamat for whatever reason(the letter Krile had).
Y'shtola tells us to go to the First to contact Cylva, Unukalhai, etc. and they open a portal in the middle of the Empty. Then we go back to the 13th moon with our party and as we fight Zeromus we can see the 13th healing from a distance throughout the trial. Nice moment of friendship triumphing and all that and we win and Azdaja is cured and Golbez says he's sorry and everyone eats curry and buuz.
Then... I guess we just go home and get told we're going on an expedition for fun and 7.0 legit has zero fucking setup other than "Hey WoL let's go do stuff because someone is paying us to".
>contact Cylva, Unukalhai, etc. and they open a portal in the middle of the Empty.
That would require the player to have done Warring triad, all the role quest stuff and Eden there is 0 chance they do that for a patch
Yes for an expac, there is no way they'd do it just for a patch. Even then I think you'd get to pick one of those to make mandatory I dobut they'd do all three which only leaves Eden.
Which is why they should make all that stuff required instead of optional. Why even bother with all that shit about those guys trying to reach the 13th and restore it if it wasn't going to mean anything because they can't use it?
Honestly if they're getting the First involved in the solution to this whole shitstorm, they need to fucking take a stance once and for all and say "The characters related to this story WILL participate even if you playless shitstains don't know who they are".
Well either that or we're not, in fact, going to the First at all, and we're just going to ask Feo Ul and her army of fairies to cut up the Empty into bricks and bring it over so we can throw it at the 13th.
>Garleans getting uppity and claiming we can't use the Tower of Babil because it belongs to Garlemald
Sometimes I wish the characters were more brutal. Tell these nobodies to fuck off and do whatever you want. You're going to risk the world because these retards who've spent so much time conquering and enslaving you are now on the other side of the coin? They deserve nothing better. And they have the fucking gall to say we're still only "pretending" to help them when they should know they would have all died already if not for the help they were given.
The whole scene was weird. I get that it was supposed to be fanservice for estinien but the devs to realize that nobody actually thinks their low poly vanilla bodies are erotic to anyone.
If you think lowpoly bodies dont turn anyone in your a genxgay. People have been fapping to low poly Laura and Tifa for 25 years now. That fujoshit will probably look nicer when the graphical update drops in 7.0

He returned to the aethereal sea to get reborn later if you want the spoonfeed the imagery comes from "Sinking deeper and deeper in calm embrace Loving tide sweep in and bear you down Should you meet a soul rising surface ways With your unbeating heart wish them well."
This is a consequence of making two of the zones in space, one an underground biodome, one set in the ancient past, and one zone a frozen civil war backdrop,the indian zone is pretty much the only viable one for shit to be happening in.
The only ones happy with Island Sanctuary are the turbo gays who suck each other's dicks on discord.
They know their audience. I wanted gameplay but instead they decided to make something for the casual as fuck rejects that play this game and stay subbed year-round.
Imagine thinking weekly handicrafts are fun.

So called superior nation
Zero ascends into her true form in 6.5. She becomes a beautiful warrior woman with longer hair and tanned skin as the setting for 7.0 takes place in a surprising twist.
MSQ is a fucking clusterfuck
Dungeons are horrible
Trials are pretty fun
Alliance Raids are amazing and have a better story than MSQ
Normal Raids range from pretty good to boring
Zero is a decent addition to the scions but aside from that I didn't give a fuck about anything that happened, I just enjoyed that they remade some FF4 stuff into this universe.
6.1 felt like a cool callback to wol's humble origins
6.2 was great classic FF
6.3 was pretty dogshit with awkward dialogue
Haven't done 6.4 but it looks disappointing
>hey you know how we just talked about how the Heart of Sabik is an auracite and has intelligence that manipulates the holder into using it? >lol i'm gonna keep it okay? 🙂 >wow i feel such a sudden renewed vigor for research! lol anyway seeya!
Are you fucking serious?
Not really unless the common factor is "I'm gonna fight this dude in the future". He (mostly) fixed his dysfunctional relationship with his son and managed to break free from his crazy wife, will move away from Pandaemonium to work on something else.
Ok let me see if I got this right >the real Golbez (who might be our shard) died in the war >Durante (who might be Zenos' shard) took on their name >instead of Zenos coming back in some stupid asspull, Durante and Golbez are meant to show that he and the Wol could've been real friends under different circumstances
Also >is the letter Krile got the same as the ones Urianger and Thancred received?
>>is the letter Krile got the same as the ones Urianger and Thancred received?
that's the tie in for 7.0
everything will finish then the final scene will be them reading the letter and being like "WELL NOW LOOK WHAT WE HAVE TO DO"
*TO BE CONTINUED*
>Durante (who might be Zenos' shard) took on their name
Woah lets not get too hasty with Zenos >is the letter Krile got the same as the ones Urianger and Thancred received?
Probably since they were looking for Archons so messaging Krile could get a hold of her and Graha
First plate is from catching all big fish from ARR to Stormblood. Second plate is from 3 million total points from ocean fishing. Then exchange at the achievement guy Jonathas in Gridania. Doing these already gave you the titles "Grandmaster Caster" and "World-Class Troller" but now there's plates associated.
Please let the next expansion be the New World. I want BLU to actually get the spotlight for once. Maybe we can get a BLU-specific deep dungeon or Eureka/Bozja area. Maybe BLU could play through the MSQ. There could even be a BLU roulette.
My actual pipedream is that they introduce a FFXI-style BLU with melee weapons. Either that or, since BLU already doesn’t get stats from its weapons, lets me just hide the cane and fight unarmed and cast spells with my bare hands like a DBZ character.
>If Athena and the Heart of Sabik are pretty much the origin of Ultima
She got the auracite from somewhere else. The High Seraph seems to predate the sundering, so it must have been sealed away somewhere, probably by Azem, for St. Ajora to call it later.
The teaser trailer for the next expansion is going to have to be insane to bring players back after all this tripe. Endwalker's was shit, it'll need Shadowbringers tier cinema to get anyone but the most braindead diehards interested.
>She is really close to becoming a god >All she can do is make the floor have teeth
Can nips PLEASE stop calling everything "god"? God is supposed to be omnipotent which means NOT BEATABLE. And yet everything is either almost a god or already a god and still gets their ass kicked.
They clearly state that the term is completely nebulous and up to interpretation, and that Athena has chosen to believe that divinity means being capable of creating new souls
FFXIV fell off completely in Amaurot. It's never going to recover from its boring ancients wankery, they decided to explain the origin of their entire universe so how do you move on from that without blowing everything up and starting again? Rookie mistake really.
Their entire world is just "things the ancients did". You can't go to a new continent and pretend that's a big deal when you've had dimension and time hopping and had the Big Bang explained in tedious detail by generic sadboys.
he's too weak to undo Athena's brainwashing otherwise, also probably some sorta show of determination given he flat out says >fight me bro
afterwards as a reference to you slapping his shit in the future
if anything the scene is meant to contrast with his conversation in the present >past lahabrea - You and I will never see eye to eye, get in my way and I'll destroy you >future lahabrea - Although it was wrong to wreck such devastation, I can see myself walking down that road
Yeah, that's why I think it won't be some long excursion. I expect it will be like 6.0, mostly just show up, go hey Ryne hey Lyna, how are things, we need some way to take a whole fucking lot of light from here and into the Source, then Beq Lugg will show up and do some aetheryte bullshit so we can transport it back easy.
>there are only like 10 archons >someone is inviting them to be a neutral party in some issue
I know we're not supposed to be able to guess at this point but I really can't guess where this is going.
I will admit my sources are the wikis so I'm going to ask you for yours. We have in fact seen so little archons that it does support the theory that there aren't ever very many at a time.
>my sources are the wikis
Then you must be illiterate because even the wikis agree with me.

>It is not enough to simply be wise or study if one wishes to become an Archon, and therefore the title is very rarely given, with as few as twelve Archons currently known.
I guess you're autistic and hung up on how I flippantly said there are 10. The point is that there aren't a lot of archons, so even if we meet more in the future it's not going to be by a large number. I was curious as to who would be interested in dealing with such a small group of people with heavy ties to Louisoix.
Those are the Archons from the Sixth Umbral Era, which were what that Calamity's Warriors of Light were named. One of them, Nyunkrepf, founded Sharlayan and so they now use his title of Archon for their equivalent of a PhD.
Archon is just a title for people that have a Sharlayan diploma, like Doctor or Professor. The Circle of Knowing was made up of 12 Archons recruited by Louisoix that became the Scions of the Seventh Dawn after his death, but they aren't the only Archons. There are shitloads of Archons, all those fuckers in the Forum wearing white robes are Archons, along with most of the other NPCs in Sharlayan.
There's also the place where Erenville went, he said "Homecoming" and since he is a Male Viera, I guess he was talking about the forest surrounding Orbonne Monastery?
The instrumental is tolerable but the vocals made me never want to touch 6 and 7 ever again. If I didn't enjoy talking with my firends I'd have taken a straw and stabbed at my eardrums.
I know Ganker says about how bland Y'shtola is but I never noticed how bad it was until these 6.x patches. in 6.3 the voice actress sounded like she phoned it in. Most of the time she is explaining how something will be achieved without feeling like a character.
One of the Bellular videos commented on how Yoship prefers to show how characters did something rather than the "why" and it looks like it went to the extreme with her character.
It's why I'm fine with them not killing these characters off like they're disposable after they're done, but they really need to be more willing to leave characters behind for most of a new story. Not to be an obnoxious XIfag but FFXI's story understood new expansions should mostly have a new cast of characters. Previous characters still exist and will do things, but they are not the focus. Write Krile to do the Yshtola magic plot device stuff, give her a character arc, immediately improved.
How? She was legit the ONLY Scion that did anything interesting and showed any personality in this patch.
Hell she's the only fucking character worth a shit in this whole storyline. Even Estinien has fallen off hard. His entire role in this patch was just having a shirtless cutscene and from there he hasn't said or done anything worth mentioning.
>I know Ganker says about how bland Y'shtola is but I never noticed how bad it was until these 6.x patches.
You didn't notice until the story where the biggest tell for whether you can safely skip a cutscene is if she's not in it?
You guys say the stupidest shit sometimes when trying to prove why the character you dislike sucks.
What relation does Ivalice Ultima, an alien from bumfuck nowhere, have with Athena? So the Ivalice one wasn't the origin of the spell? Why do they look the same? -WHO- the fuck is Sabik? I'm not resubbing and my lore is rusty so I need to be spoonfed.
No and in fact it seems they just killed any possibility that there would be some twist to her that somehow improves or explains her. The twist is "There's no twist, she's no more and no less than what she appears to be, the first random voidsent that both you and Zenos came across".
>Endwalker released in Dec 2021 >6.1-6.4 is perhaps a week or two worth of content >No next expansion until mid 2024 >A-team pulled off to work on FFXVI

>beat the shit out of her >still remains evil and true to her desire
kinda nice, although most of the ascians ended up with some redemption down the line, even fucking lahabrea
>Pandaemonium final cutscene
Literally what the FUCK did he mean by this? I really felt like he was talking about more than he was letting on. And that finale with him in the sea, what the fuck was that? What did he know, what was that light? He couldn't be reincarnating, his persona wasn't even washed away yet.
All of Pandaemonium 3 feels like a fucking leadin to something else. From the inconclusive ends of Athena and Eric, to the unknown origins of the Heart, to Azem's fucking foreknowledge, to the warnings about the REAL Pandaemonium WHICH WE NEVER FUCKING ACTUALLY INVESTIGATE.
The introduction of time travel and two timelines of branching content, one of which is supposed to canonically take place within the span of a day (your trip to the past and return trip) is going to prove to be a wild lore mistake if it grows past pandemonium.
Time on the other side of the portal is literally progressing at the same rate as time on the Source. Eventually they'll hit the Final Days and Themis will call WoL for help not knowing he's in the future.
approaching kiseki levels of pacing. and another golbez clutching his fist in anticipation of his unfolding plan scene. feels like barely anything of worth happened
>doesn't talk >doesn't even have a real model >didn't seem to do anything really
Calling it, Zeromus is defeated before 7.0. What a shitty fucking arc.
>doesn't talk >doesn't even have a real model >didn't seem to do anything really
Calling it, Zeromus is defeated before 7.0. What a shitty fucking arc.
>he thinks these are the same
retard or contrarian? a big particle effect is not a fucking model you moron
in fact those hands could be ripped from an ARR mob
Hey retard the whole point of it is that Zeromus in FFIV is first a big shroud of darkness that gets blasted away to reveal his true form after using the crystal of light.
I don't understand how she's supposed to be a threat. Big strong void dragon I guess, but she's just another one of Middie's kids. We've already beaten Nidhogg and even beaten a simulacrum of Middie in his prime. This is the least threatening enemy in a while.
We effortlessly beat 7/14ths of Zodiark's aether on the First. There was some potential for Zeromus to be interesting if it was Zero, Golbez or Durante or something - so that we have some character. Just having dragon+some aether is boring and weak, like the entire post-EW MSQ so far.
>We effortlessly beat 7/14ths of Zodiark's aether on the First.
The Zodiark in EW was an empty husk that Fandaniel was still learning how to control during the course of the fight. He had no idea how to wield the full power.
holy fuck i'll take ishikawa's dumb fujo moments and excessive jerking off of the ancients anytime over this MSQ
what in the actual fuck >everyone just sits there and lets Golbez do his thing >we literally beat and weaken him but nobody even tries to stop him >1/14TH OF ZODIARK WHILE WEAKENED IS TOO STRONG FOR THE WoL, Blind Master Mage Cat, Estinent, SIRS DO NOT REDEEM and Mary Sue Edgelord Zero

The more you look at Golbez's story the dumber it gets
>he was a random literal who mage who went around bonking Memoriates on the head for le justice >looked like a ridiculous villain so much so that Zero wanted nothing to do with him and his boyfriend >oh also he died offscreen xd >and now his boyfriend Durante the Hedgehog, another literal who, is pretending to be him >and then he became the strongest voidsent ever uhhh just because!
Fucking WHAT dude. What is the point of all of this?
M8 did you seriously take nothing from the fact that WoL saw the entire echo flashback from his point of view down to seeing his fucking eyelids closing when he'd wink? And how he was the only one not voiced in it?
>They didn't want to assign a VA for one or two lines since the real Golbez is dead.
There were like 4-5 characters with just a handful of lines in this patch alone that got voiced >The thavnarian waitress + customers. >The garlean dipshits. >Pretty sure one of the random alchemists talked at some moment.
There's a decent Shadowbringers-esque story to be told here, but it would have taken a whole ass expansion so instead we get this rush job in between real expansions.

If someone is curious about the 4.0 dungeon changes.
For the majority of bosses, they just added the "moves to the middle to perform mechanic".
The second boss of Castrum Abania has been completely remade, he even has a slight different name.
They deleted the claws in the soul extraction mechanic in the second boss of Ala Mhigo.
That's just the things I found noteworthy, I think Yol was also nerfed a little bit.
Should be hard. I cleared atleast the first phase with a single pld and I because crystal healers are not to be trusted.
This was back when merciful eye was athing so I can self heal outside of blood/wind.
The WoL is not going to do a training arc. We are merely going to run in and fight it like we do with everything else and kill it without issue. Why is the story trying to pretend that 1/14th of Zodiark's power is any kind of threat when we already beat the real deal?
Because this new writer has no idea what he's doing
We should have wrapped this up this patch and had 2 trials or something
The story is fucking DRAGGING
zodiark at 8/14 is exponentially weaker than he'd be at his whole self. how fast can a bicycle missing one of its wheels go? the whole is greater than the sum of its parts
Hydaelyn remains the strongest being we've killed without plot powers. Excepting maybe Her Infloresence, depending on your interpretation of it
Yes, which is more powerful than Aether, which is why she (and us during her fight and the fight with Zenos, and Zenos generally) are so stupidly overpowered compared to everything else we've seen thus far.

No, retard. You don't get how this works at all. You can't powerlevel something like dynamis which is pure emotional belief power.

Exactly the point. All the beings of Aether operate under normal power level conditions. The WoL is exceptional because they operate on Gurren-Lagaan-willpower-defeats-anything logic. Going forward the only time we can possibly have a fight with any kind of danger is when our opponent is also has completely nonsensical outside power level scaling as well, like the Endsinger and Zenos.
dynamis. we had zenos and our buddies giving us power. Thordan was defeated with a dragons eye, as was Nidhogg, Alexander let us win, Bahamut Prime wasn't Bahamut at his full power, Zodiark was incomplete and Fandango was jobbing
you could argue that Hydaelyn also let us win, but I imagine she wouldn't let a 12000 year gambit go to waste because of her sentimentality

its a giant aether battery that we use to power attacks anon. the same reason we have 5 (five) crystals of light makes us such a powerful fighter to begin with
I don't see why we would think that the emulated-Middie is any weaker than the real Middie, given that Omega was able to fight Mid to a draw and we were able defeat Omega at his most powerful.
So you're saying the dragons are > Zodiark? Cause we beat him, we beat Hydaelyn, we beat Endsinger. There's no way a shard of Zodiark even with the dragon is stronger than them.
I don't think the problem was the WoL can't beat it, it's that Zero can't memoria it
I don't think she memoria'd the four fiends either. She can't do much if we don't beat them up first.
>they still haven't made normal raids mandatory
any shitter can do them
come on square you gays, anyone that gets filtered by normal raids shouldn't get to play
Unless they're gonna do more Trust trials then I don't expect them to change this, even when fighting on the Source. Azem's power is how the lore explains us fighting encounters with other players. We're literally summoning other WoLs because that is how raiding actually works in the game
I really enjoyed this MSQ.
I'm not really sure what people want. Feels like Shadowbabies used to le epic adventure thinking that's what the entire game is.
I do get annoyed by the constant Zero wankfest from everyone that meets her. It feels entirely undeserved and the product of the writer's OC waifu obsession.
>Feels like Shadowbabies used to le epic adventure thinking that's what the entire game is.
We're on the fucking moon fighting Golbez and Zeromus, what the FUCK are you talking about retard
There's a lot of stuff inbetween that people are bitching about because it doesn't reveal the secrets of the entire universe with every line of dialogue.
You mean the pointless filler? Yeah, people don't like that shit. Getting into another fucking petty squabble with Garleans over trade agreements is the epitome of kino, huh?
Even the dungeon was filler. >dude its full of aether woaoahhowooww xd
So fucking what the whole planet is full of aether
>le epic adventure
that's literally the current plot though? another world ending threat not even 2 patches removed from the previous world ending threat?
It's paced terribly. I can deal with long segments of political intrigue and diplomacy, I actually enjoyed those parts of Stormblood, but it's all so half baked. I could care about the Garleans not being happy about being occupied and basically at the mercy of the alliance but the story hasn't given me enough time to care. They're mostly just annoying cunts that act indignant whenever a reasonable request is asked. Zero grinding on fixing her dark autism is unironically better.
>paced terribly
Makes me wonder how many of these concepts were meant for that cancelled Garlemald expansion and they are trying to shove them into the current story rather than just dropping them entirely.
Zero as a replacement for a redeemed-Zenos-becomes-a-Scion thing seems like it could have happened in a post-Garlean MSQ prior to the EW proper expansion
>already done with raid and msq >New EX wont take too long to beat >Dont savage but even if I did its a week out >7 weeks to get the contest weapons >all the cool shit like variant and BLU isnt til 6.45
What the fuck did I resub for? Did I scam myself?
Bro Im just saying that the new direction the story is taking in is kinda boring
I expected more from XIV devs but honestly why did they give the story reins to the fucking BRD job quests guy
It's gonna be slow starting because they are literally trying to start over while at the same time putting old stuff to bed.
They've even used the raid series to put lingering Ascians to rest.
It gives me early ARR vibes mixed with stuff that probably should've been covered in Endwalker itself. Like a weird mix of a new tale but also a typical expansion story patch series.
it takes lyrics from it but its just 2 verses. it has 2 of its own verses as well. it also contextualizes both songs so its great
i fucking LOVE this design. always had a soft spot for fairies. to me this is Airy on steroids. i also love her title. we fought 4 'hemitheos' and then we face the true Theos
This is why we should have been depowered by the end of EW. No conflict makes sense anymore. WoL can just blink and melt any black hole eating mega god's face off now.
I don't think the WoL can power-scale to the same level as when we fought the Endsinger and Zenos any time we like, we were in the middle of the densest puddle of Dynamis in the universe. Even without the Zodiark-bubble our star remains drenched in Aether which is a natural cap on our bullshit scaling ability.
Honestly it really is going to just be that she's a gourmand. Everyone eventually gets flanderized to their base components in this story. At most I will hope her personality evolves to a point where she's talkative, it would be bold to radically change her in some way.
I'm unironically excited for the next patch if only because we're potentially going to get to see Ryne again. If they're smart they'll make Eden mandatory so Gaia can join in too.
I don't understand why they're pushing her as a character at all. She's just another stoic bruiser, we already have Estinien. What is she bringing to the table as a character?
>Redeemed Scion Zenos
Oh, so a Scion that was once a villain who then became our rival and then friend over the course of the entire game from ARR? We already have that character his name is Estinien
>Alexander and Eden's Promise are super presentation heavy fights >Omega not so much but it also had one of the most kino cutscenes right after >this shit is just a standard ass boss on a square fight followed by standing around and talking to people in a reused dungeon
Take me back bros...
Normal mode E12 was unironically kind of fun because casuals would always collect vuln stacks in the mech vomit after the lesbian cutscene, so if you were a tank or healer you got to actually play hero.
Gaia's relativity and apoc were thematically great mechanics and her soft enrage is kino.
So when Vrtra lands on the moon, they aren't suggesting he flew from the planet right? There was just a big ass teleporter I wasn't paying attention to.
he flew to the moon. we don't know how, but dragons can fly in space in this setting
He flew from the planet, he literally says "Like my sire, I can travel through the great emptiness".
>they aren't suggesting he flew from the planet right?
He straight up says he's gonna fly. He's too big to use the teleporter.
I knew dragons could fly in space since that's how they got to the planet to begin with, but I figured it took a lot of time. This dude can get to the moon in like a couple hours it seems, how fast is he?
Because dragons aren't dragons in this setting, they're the thing. They can do pretty much anything by deciding they want to do it and their bodies adjust. They're a biological version of the Omicron, always growing and changing to suit their environment and purpose
LGBTranime game
Tourists go back
All memes aside, it actually is. This is the only MMO I've ever played where the dudes on girl characters actually go out of their way to RP women. There's plenty of dudes on girl characters in other MMOs like WoW and they don't act like literal gays.
>There's plenty of dudes on girl characters in other MMOs like WoW and they don't act like literal gays.
Like half the big WoW youtubers are trans now. FFXIV is only different in that not all the girl characters are played by men.
Men pretending to be women online is a tale as old as the internet
I know and FF14 have thousands of them
I know it's dead but PSO2 has way more mental illness per capita. The /vg/ thread is literally just unwell men posting images of their coomer characters and cattily sniping at other attention whores daily.
>like WoW
You dropped your mask, Blizzard employee.
I knew some guys that used to pretend to be chicks in FF11 to get free shit from ronery dudes

Bullshit, I play a xaela I can take Hispanices unlike midlanders.
Xaelas are used to eating food that tastes like shit so that isn't a surprise.

God I wish they used Golbez's Dissida voice actor.
No, I mean we use literal shit to light our campfires.
After the Hispanicy curry was the most emotion she's shown for anything, I knew then that Zero is my soulmate
Is it not just Paprika?
Paprika is borderline flavorless, it's ground and dried bell-pepper. It's mostly used for coloring
>gear found in the middle of a jungle
>garlean higher ups are wearing it
>neither garlemald nor radz were ever at war with another
Always knew EW was a frankensteined mess of two expansions. Fucking hell
The gear from Alzadaal's Legacy you're complaining about doesn't match the Hannish aesthetic at all, nevermind the climate it's found in, it doesn't surprise me they're using it as winter military-formal
Wasn't Radz the homeland of the Garleans?
It was Goug (Ridorana Lighthouse). Their next homeland was Corvus.
Clearly they’re wearing goodwill clothes donated from Radz

Pandaemonium is good, had fun in a normal mode for the first time in a long time. I have no desire to do the MSQ, is it good now?
and the very end was a flashforward to Elidibus's soul being reborn right?
>spoiler
Wonder how long it takes for a soul to get recycled. That young lad at the end of the ShB 5.0 msq was definitely the soul of Ardbert.
Exactly. I'm 200% certain the original story had actual pacing.
>That young lad at the end of the ShB 5.0 msq was definitely the soul of Ardbert.
he rejoined with us, anon
Its gotta mean something.
It means after you told him the secret was a secret with that finger-to-lips gesture you pulled him around the corner and sucked him off nasty.
Only temporarily, he's gone now.
That's what the scene of his soul leaving with his bros was about.
That shit hurt man, first and last time I cried at a vidja
I felt that. Shadowbringers had so many great moments but ruined the overall flow of the story.
It had to pick up the pace to make up for SB driving it into the ground with no survivors
The payoff in 4.3 with Tsukuyomi's heart still holding out for Gosetsu was greater than anything EW has created.
when people talk about SB no one means the post expac stuff retard
I'll need to replay SB. My rose tinted goggles are getting foggy.
4.X had some legitimately good stuff and it's a fucking shame how they killed 80% of it.
I'll never forgive them for putting him in a side story with 4 secret anime kids and a villain whose personality changed half way through the content
DUDE IT'S A GUNDAM REFERENCE XD
But we channel him and talk to him after that shit happens. He's still inside us bro
Then explain him talking to Seto
Are you retarded?
I thought this patch's MSQ was better than 6.2 and 6.3, but still not back up to 6.1.
Pacing issues are still there and likely coming from a hastily written filler arc without checking if it could actually fill the time it was allotted.
This really does feel like a storyline that should have lasted 3 patches in total but they had to stretch the fuck out of it so they threw in Zero and a million fucking meaningless obstacles.
things actually happen (eventually) and Golbez is a good trial so...I guess?
one last ride with ancient familia >>>>>>> whatever that MSQ pacing was supposed to be
>t. incel
>last
You know ascians are the panic button right?
listen I'm not gonna pretend this isn't the 3rd time Elidibus died
yes but they've been pressing the button since ARR
based
>the pleasure of being cummed inside
FFXIV hates women, and that's a good thing.
The Garlemald stuff is actually kino. Ganker is just too low IQ to get it
Thankfully they repeated the same trope for the 100th time so I can finally get it
So, the final boss of 6.5 will be a Protoss dark archon?
>zeromus summoned without zero dying
Please dont tell me we are stuck with this boring bitch.
😉
She is your new permanent party member. You're not going to get rid of her like Lyse.
*tips hat* M'trust
Nobody dies in XIV if they play a major role. Zenos might even come back, in which case this theory is more like certainty.
>anyone that stays dead
>yes they're 100% dead and will not return
>zenos
>Hmm? it was pretty obvious, didn't you see? hehehehe
fuck you yoshi
I dunno what's worse, her or Alisae
>iTs a VoIDseNT bOrN fRoM ZoDiArK
bro what its like 1/14th of zodiarks power, i literally killed the og bro with no preparation on the spot
That's like an ally thinking their hot shit for shooting down a kamikaze pilot
1/14th of Zodiark's power is not a small amount of power by any stretch of the imagination
Also Amon was purposefully piloting Zodiark like total shit
ALL IN EXISTANCE BEND TO MY WILL was hard
Zodiark hivemind
Look man do you have any better ideas how we're going to drag the last patch MSQ trial around to killing the same bro again this time, we already killed Elidibus three times and Fandanny four times this is all we've got to pretend it's actually connected to the expansion.
Post 6.5 predictions, if you get it wrong you're a gay
Whatever happens will be far more underwhelming than anything anyone tries to predict.
Retcon. We move to another timeline as the nest in Ultima Thule creates an endless stream of bad vibes that crush the universe.
We'll turn Azdaja back to normal just like we turned Zero back to normal back in 6.1 with the help of Hydaelyns' light crystal or The First's light.
Azdaja ends up too weak but will be given an Au Ra body.
She'll come with us to Meracydia to meet up with Tiamat for whatever reason(the letter Krile had).
Thancred proposes to my WOL and we get married and have many children, trust me on this one my uncle works at square enix
We going to meracidya for sure. Tons of dragon shit and remaining allagan shit
Zeromus has a Big Bang raidwide
Y'shtola tells us to go to the First to contact Cylva, Unukalhai, etc. and they open a portal in the middle of the Empty. Then we go back to the 13th moon with our party and as we fight Zeromus we can see the 13th healing from a distance throughout the trial. Nice moment of friendship triumphing and all that and we win and Azdaja is cured and Golbez says he's sorry and everyone eats curry and buuz.
Then... I guess we just go home and get told we're going on an expedition for fun and 7.0 legit has zero fucking setup other than "Hey WoL let's go do stuff because someone is paying us to".
>contact Cylva, Unukalhai, etc. and they open a portal in the middle of the Empty.
That would require the player to have done Warring triad, all the role quest stuff and Eden there is 0 chance they do that for a patch
They made CT a requirement for ShB.
Yes for an expac, there is no way they'd do it just for a patch. Even then I think you'd get to pick one of those to make mandatory I dobut they'd do all three which only leaves Eden.
No retard, CT was only made mandatory in a patch.
Which is why they should make all that stuff required instead of optional. Why even bother with all that shit about those guys trying to reach the 13th and restore it if it wasn't going to mean anything because they can't use it?
Honestly if they're getting the First involved in the solution to this whole shitstorm, they need to fucking take a stance once and for all and say "The characters related to this story WILL participate even if you playless shitstains don't know who they are".
Well either that or we're not, in fact, going to the First at all, and we're just going to ask Feo Ul and her army of fairies to cut up the Empty into bricks and bring it over so we can throw it at the 13th.
more ascian/ancients because this game can't think of any new ideas after ten years of this garbage.
>zeromus is part zodiark
It better have spinning platforms again
it won't be the same without ALL OF CREATION SHALL BEND TO MY WILL
ohai look who I found.
>Garleans getting uppity and claiming we can't use the Tower of Babil because it belongs to Garlemald
Sometimes I wish the characters were more brutal. Tell these nobodies to fuck off and do whatever you want. You're going to risk the world because these retards who've spent so much time conquering and enslaving you are now on the other side of the coin? They deserve nothing better. And they have the fucking gall to say we're still only "pretending" to help them when they should know they would have all died already if not for the help they were given.
Is the game worth coming back yet?
What did they mean by this?
The sight of estiniens abs is enough to make the clothes fall off every woman in a mile radius
The whole scene was weird. I get that it was supposed to be fanservice for estinien but the devs to realize that nobody actually thinks their low poly vanilla bodies are erotic to anyone.
>low poly vanilla bodies
Forget the bodies, have you seen what Estiniens face looks like? He only looks acceptable in fanart
it's enough to prompt a lot of artworks based on estinian being lewd regardless of the low poly models.
And there are low poly fetishists anyway
If you think lowpoly bodies dont turn anyone in your a genxgay. People have been fapping to low poly Laura and Tifa for 25 years now. That fujoshit will probably look nicer when the graphical update drops in 7.0
I found Estiniens low poly vanilla body erotic
I know a fujo in my fc and she loved that, you clearly have no idea what fujos like.
We’ve all fapped to way worse come on now
ok but what the fuck did thancred mean when he looked at zero one time and said "absolutely fine"
It somehow felt like a deathflag for him
they aren't killing any main scions
I'm not hoping any of them die but that scene did make me worry for him
>Thancred
>deathflag
if that fucking teary eyed monologue while laying on the ground beat up after using a literal heart stopping technique to just barely beat ranjit didn't kill him, nothing in this game ever will
the guy is immortal now
He probably misses Ryne

Genuinely awful, who the fuck thought this was okay? Zero personality, zero difficulty, the arena looks like shit and he does basically fuck all.
The arena for golbez is way too fucking small
I haven't done the EX and probably won't since I'm not 630, but does the cube shape come into factor at all?
No.
Just buy a set of 640 bro.
It's more mechanics than gear. Don't fuck up.
I mean I can't even access the EX without the gear, anon.
>her voice line when she uses her ultimate attack that sounds horrible
Yeah, particularly when she says "tremble". I have to wonder how they thought that take was worth keeping.
the arena sucks but I thought the Golbez fight was pretty good
Who was the voice in the water at the end of p12?
?????? Elidibus you fucking idiot???!??
But he died thoughever? Didn't his soul dissipate? I'm a retard, explain to me.
He returned to the aethereal sea to get reborn later if you want the spoonfeed the imagery comes from "Sinking deeper and deeper in calm embrace Loving tide sweep in and bear you down Should you meet a soul rising surface ways With your unbeating heart wish them well."
The cutscene right at the end? That's elidibus, the aethereal sea is always described as a sea, go reread the lyrics of flow.

This is a consequence of making two of the zones in space, one an underground biodome, one set in the ancient past, and one zone a frozen civil war backdrop,the indian zone is pretty much the only viable one for shit to be happening in.
Y'know, I never thought of it like that, but it makes perfect sense.
What kind of theme are you guys going for

Couldn't be arsed to decorate my own house. Same for my non-house

Imagine thinking weekly handicrafts are fun.
>nobody predicted the msq correctly because it was so fucking boring nobody could've guessed it and whatever shit they made up was more interesting than what we got
expectations
subverted
if they're trying to set up for 7.0 they're doing a pretty poor job of creating any speculation
I'm honestly shocked that they played it 100% straight. No Zero becoming Zeromus, no Golbez is actually the dragon, nothing.
>lahabread got to tap this

Yes anon, people are naked under their clothing. Very well spotted.

GOOD MORNING SIRS
I seriously hope there's a twist in 6.5
Your twist was that zero didn't become zeromus and you'll like it
>four mediocre-to-bad patches in a row
Anon you might be on to something
The twist was that there's no twist.
Zero is just a big red herring. Her relevance to the story is "Distract the player from the story".
Zero ascends into her true form in 6.5. She becomes a beautiful warrior woman with longer hair and tanned skin as the setting for 7.0 takes place in a surprising twist.
SAY GOOD NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT
SAVAGE NOBLES
CULTURED THIEVES
So, safe to say that 6.1 - 6.4 have been total disasters with nothing memorable?
6.1 was solidly ok
It's not like the other patches have been awful, they've just been absolutely fucking boring which is almost worse
MSQ is a fucking clusterfuck
Dungeons are horrible
Trials are pretty fun
Alliance Raids are amazing and have a better story than MSQ
Normal Raids range from pretty good to boring
The Rubicante OST was neat.
6.1 was good.
So basically before the story actually started.
That's a bit hyperbolic, but I'm definitely much less interested than I was in ShB, or especially SB's post release cycles.
Zero is a decent addition to the scions but aside from that I didn't give a fuck about anything that happened, I just enjoyed that they remade some FF4 stuff into this universe.
>Zero is a decent addition to the scions
Estinien and Urianger are already filling the autist spots she should have brought something new to the group
Femcels are now represented
wished they looked as good and cool as them, irl women can't be cool
6.1 felt like a cool callback to wol's humble origins
6.2 was great classic FF
6.3 was pretty dogshit with awkward dialogue
Haven't done 6.4 but it looks disappointing
>hey you know how we just talked about how the Heart of Sabik is an auracite and has intelligence that manipulates the holder into using it?
>lol i'm gonna keep it okay? 🙂
>wow i feel such a sudden renewed vigor for research! lol anyway seeya!
Are you fucking serious?
They need to stop doing world unsundered stuff because it keeps making the ascians look dumber.
They really tried hard to pull Emet 2.0 with Lahabrea huh
No, if anything I thought his story ended on a pretty bitter note.
Not really unless the common factor is "I'm gonna fight this dude in the future". He (mostly) fixed his dysfunctional relationship with his son and managed to break free from his crazy wife, will move away from Pandaemonium to work on something else.
Ok let me see if I got this right
>the real Golbez (who might be our shard) died in the war
>Durante (who might be Zenos' shard) took on their name
>instead of Zenos coming back in some stupid asspull, Durante and Golbez are meant to show that he and the Wol could've been real friends under different circumstances
Also
>is the letter Krile got the same as the ones Urianger and Thancred received?
>>is the letter Krile got the same as the ones Urianger and Thancred received?
that's the tie in for 7.0
everything will finish then the final scene will be them reading the letter and being like "WELL NOW LOOK WHAT WE HAVE TO DO"
*TO BE CONTINUED*
>Durante (who might be Zenos' shard) took on their name
Woah lets not get too hasty with Zenos
>is the letter Krile got the same as the ones Urianger and Thancred received?
Probably since they were looking for Archons so messaging Krile could get a hold of her and Graha
I'm guessing he's Zenos' shard because they have the same VA (at least in english) and they look alike.
everything being tied to our very special soul (and not us or what we choose to do) is such boring hacky writing.
FISHER BROS RISE UP
IT'S TIME TO SHINE
this is better than the TOP one holy fuck that ultimate is so dogshit.

I think that's the Adventurer Plate for FSH
New fisher frame kits
okay fine I'll do ocean fishing
First plate is from catching all big fish from ARR to Stormblood. Second plate is from 3 million total points from ocean fishing. Then exchange at the achievement guy Jonathas in Gridania. Doing these already gave you the titles "Grandmaster Caster" and "World-Class Troller" but now there's plates associated.
Is that from the new ocean fishing?

Did anyone leak p12s second phase theme?
It's probably not in the game yet. They have learned to split game files
Yes, remixed ultima theme
https://files.catbox.moe/t0awes.ogg
what is this from?
is it seriously from p12s?
Yes, it's the phase 2 theme.
It's Tactics' Ultima theme remixed since she's directly related to Athena and the Heart of Sabik
where do you find these leaks? also is the p2 form revealed yet?
the datamine discord but people always posts them in the threads on patch day
Lmao THIS is the final boss of the EW raid tier?
I mean e12s was just nomuras waifu.
After they did nothing with the giant fucking eye in the backdrop for P8S, how did you expect anything good for P12S?
the first one is just yunalesca
Yunalesca is Sophia/Goddess. The top one is a mixture of the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Hell from FFII.
I fucking wish. Give me more FFX shit Square, you fucking hacks
You got a Yunalesca fight in Heavensward.

>Azdaja passed out on the ground after the trial
Okay but Athena turning whole Pandemonium into her simp was pretty funny
Played since ARR and just couldn't stomach this boring shit anymore. SHB was fun but EW was a snoozefest
Please let the next expansion be the New World. I want BLU to actually get the spotlight for once. Maybe we can get a BLU-specific deep dungeon or Eureka/Bozja area. Maybe BLU could play through the MSQ. There could even be a BLU roulette.
My actual pipedream is that they introduce a FFXI-style BLU with melee weapons. Either that or, since BLU already doesn’t get stats from its weapons, lets me just hide the cane and fight unarmed and cast spells with my bare hands like a DBZ character.
lol
picrel
if it was just dalmasca i wouldn’t mind this at all
It's gonna be Dalmasca/Nagxia
>another split location xpac
Jesus, please, no. I will buy a front row tickets to every Fanfest just so I can tell Yoshida in person to stop fucking doing this.
The letter was Aztec styled. You will seethe.
I think we're gonna get Corvos and Dalmasca as staging grounds on the road to the new world
>BLU
lmao keep dreaming buddy
New World will be FFX themes and we'll get a Blitzball class. Blu stays in the shed. I mean look how much spotlight Dancer got in Radz
If Athena and the Heart of Sabik are pretty much the origin of Ultima
Then who the fuck is Altima, the Convocation Member?
A different person
do you think all the people named Jeff are related?
>If Athena and the Heart of Sabik are pretty much the origin of Ultima
She got the auracite from somewhere else. The High Seraph seems to predate the sundering, so it must have been sealed away somewhere, probably by Azem, for St. Ajora to call it later.
The teaser trailer for the next expansion is going to have to be insane to bring players back after all this tripe. Endwalker's was shit, it'll need Shadowbringers tier cinema to get anyone but the most braindead diehards interested.
Did they update the pandaemonium references in this patch? I don't remember them using the æ in pre 6.4 patch texts
So, what the hell is the Serpent-Lifestream thing that was referenced in some texts back at 6.0?
It was talking about the rejoinings
Dumping half the ancient population into the lifestream all at once when zodiark died is going to fuck everything up in the future.
>She is really close to becoming a god
>All she can do is make the floor have teeth
Can nips PLEASE stop calling everything "god"? God is supposed to be omnipotent which means NOT BEATABLE. And yet everything is either almost a god or already a god and still gets their ass kicked.
there are very few all-encompassing, all-powerful gods throughout historical myth and even current religion
if you have a dark counterbalance, you aren't omnipotent
They clearly state that the term is completely nebulous and up to interpretation, and that Athena has chosen to believe that divinity means being capable of creating new souls
we are going to not australia
blitzballer as a new limited job
shut up cunt
>Krile
FFXIV fell off completely in Amaurot. It's never going to recover from its boring ancients wankery, they decided to explain the origin of their entire universe so how do you move on from that without blowing everything up and starting again? Rookie mistake really.
>without blowing everything up and starting again?
TO ALL OF MY CHILDREN
They won't top it but they will just explore the rest of the world.
7.0 will be a low pressure feel good expansion, not another existential crisis.
>7.0 will be a low pressure feel good expansion, not another existential crisis
That's what they said about 6.x and that very quickly fell apart.
Their entire world is just "things the ancients did". You can't go to a new continent and pretend that's a big deal when you've had dimension and time hopping and had the Big Bang explained in tedious detail by generic sadboys.
What if I told you Pandaemonium and this MSQ were written by the same person?
Not surprising the only well written part of 6.x has been the Tataru quests.
I'd believe it, both are bad.
Yeah I guess so
The twist is that there were no twist
Also sometimes the characters felt so stiff and blunt like the ivalice raids
How is the new trial's EX? Where would you rate it for difficulty?
I'm retarded, why did lahabrea unschizo himself?
He realized that nerfing himself by half when he's supposed to be a powerful convocation member was retarded
he's too weak to undo Athena's brainwashing otherwise, also probably some sorta show of determination given he flat out says
>fight me bro
afterwards as a reference to you slapping his shit in the future
I am glad that Lahabrea wasn't 'redeemed'. He is 100% the asshole from ARR. fucker tells you he'll throw you in jail if you don't leave
if anything the scene is meant to contrast with his conversation in the present
>past lahabrea - You and I will never see eye to eye, get in my way and I'll destroy you
>future lahabrea - Although it was wrong to wreck such devastation, I can see myself walking down that road
Man I don't wanna go back to the First and remember how much better ShB was
Y'shtola said this patch that none of the methods to go to the 13th work for the 1st so chances are we're going alone like in 6.0.
She also said they need some light to throw at the 13th, the whole cast doesn't need to come with us for us to go
Yeah, that's why I think it won't be some long excursion. I expect it will be like 6.0, mostly just show up, go hey Ryne hey Lyna, how are things, we need some way to take a whole fucking lot of light from here and into the Source, then Beq Lugg will show up and do some aetheryte bullshit so we can transport it back easy.
tanks and selfish dps chads stay winning. mch is the 7.0 posterboy

>there are only like 10 archons
>someone is inviting them to be a neutral party in some issue
I know we're not supposed to be able to guess at this point but I really can't guess where this is going.
>there are only like 10 archons
The fuck are you talking about? An archon is literally anyone with s Sharlayan master's degree.
There were only like 12. Might be more by now though iirc it was tied to Louisoix and the circle of knowing.
No there weren't. You're just wrong.
I will admit my sources are the wikis so I'm going to ask you for yours. We have in fact seen so little archons that it does support the theory that there aren't ever very many at a time.
>my sources are the wikis
Then you must be illiterate because even the wikis agree with me.
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Archon
>It is not enough to simply be wise or study if one wishes to become an Archon, and therefore the title is very rarely given, with as few as twelve Archons currently known.
I guess you're autistic and hung up on how I flippantly said there are 10. The point is that there aren't a lot of archons, so even if we meet more in the future it's not going to be by a large number. I was curious as to who would be interested in dealing with such a small group of people with heavy ties to Louisoix.
Those are the Archons from the Sixth Umbral Era, which were what that Calamity's Warriors of Light were named. One of them, Nyunkrepf, founded Sharlayan and so they now use his title of Archon for their equivalent of a PhD.
Archon is just a title for people that have a Sharlayan diploma, like Doctor or Professor. The Circle of Knowing was made up of 12 Archons recruited by Louisoix that became the Scions of the Seventh Dawn after his death, but they aren't the only Archons. There are shitloads of Archons, all those fuckers in the Forum wearing white robes are Archons, along with most of the other NPCs in Sharlayan.
There's also the place where Erenville went, he said "Homecoming" and since he is a Male Viera, I guess he was talking about the forest surrounding Orbonne Monastery?
remember to go dps with new released content, they get >3min queue while there are too many tanks and healers for just 2 spots each instance vs 4 dps

What the fuck
Without spoilers for the new raid how is the music. I liked P1-4 and hated all variants of Scream.
p9/10 is trash
p11 is ok
p12 is decent but schizophrenic
SAY
GOODNIGHT
If nothing else you'll like 11.
>hated all variants of Scream.
The instrumental is tolerable but the vocals made me never want to touch 6 and 7 ever again. If I didn't enjoy talking with my firends I'd have taken a straw and stabbed at my eardrums.
Fucking same. I really liked ancient shackles and hic svnt but fucking hated that boring, Personalite ost that came after.
I know Ganker says about how bland Y'shtola is but I never noticed how bad it was until these 6.x patches. in 6.3 the voice actress sounded like she phoned it in. Most of the time she is explaining how something will be achieved without feeling like a character.
One of the Bellular videos commented on how Yoship prefers to show how characters did something rather than the "why" and it looks like it went to the extreme with her character.
female characters in general are bland in media, I think its time to accept that principle
Huh? The part where she's explaining all the operations she did to set up the ritual had the most emotes of anyone in this whole patch.
The VA work has been kinda bad these last patches, ngl. Feels like they're just going with the first read and then calling it good.
Not like they're given anything compelling to work with, is it.
It's why I'm fine with them not killing these characters off like they're disposable after they're done, but they really need to be more willing to leave characters behind for most of a new story. Not to be an obnoxious XIfag but FFXI's story understood new expansions should mostly have a new cast of characters. Previous characters still exist and will do things, but they are not the focus. Write Krile to do the Yshtola magic plot device stuff, give her a character arc, immediately improved.
How? She was legit the ONLY Scion that did anything interesting and showed any personality in this patch.
Hell she's the only fucking character worth a shit in this whole storyline. Even Estinien has fallen off hard. His entire role in this patch was just having a shirtless cutscene and from there he hasn't said or done anything worth mentioning.
>I know Ganker says about how bland Y'shtola is but I never noticed how bad it was until these 6.x patches.
You didn't notice until the story where the biggest tell for whether you can safely skip a cutscene is if she's not in it?
You guys say the stupidest shit sometimes when trying to prove why the character you dislike sucks.
anyone know where to find the last two spots on my log here? i figure the very last one is the shrimp, but do i need rank 14 for these?
>all my crafting gearsets now throw up "GLAMOUR COULD NOT BE RESTORED" when i swap to them

>Matsuno is back
good, I was getting tired of the same old shit
God I fucking wish, i'm so sick of the generic anime garbage of ew, but we all know it's not happening because of the retarded female playerbase
Estinien seems to have a thing for shittalking captive female dragons in order to try and motivate them.
It seems like Nidhogg was a shittalker too
I don't have much expectation for 6.5
Guess I'll just get my bis and unsub till 7.0
?t=20
>dark horizons, boiling seas
>savage nobles, cultured thieves
the way this song blends the 3 main themes of the raids is amazing.
From the deepest pit of the seven hells, to the pinnacle of the heavens, the world shall tremble!
7.0 will take place in Meracydia where we take a comatose Azdaja to cleanse her of darkness.
What relation does Ivalice Ultima, an alien from bumfuck nowhere, have with Athena? So the Ivalice one wasn't the origin of the spell? Why do they look the same? -WHO- the fuck is Sabik? I'm not resubbing and my lore is rusty so I need to be spoonfed.
Sabik is basically Jenova
The heart of Sabik is auracite that came from the same place as Ultima.
ivalice ultima is basically a corrupted meteion returning home from another star
Sabik isn't a person or a thing. It's the name of the auracite, like how the one Jenomis had was named Duma.
bros they used to give WoL so many dialogue options until recently, what happened
Yugiri
Yugiri!
Durante is Golbez
Neat.
We'll be getting our first look at 7.0 before the next MSQ arrives so speculation honestly doesnt even really mean all that much
>I regret nothing and you're a moron
I love evil characters
The Ultima raid-wide from P10 is a reference to the Ultima spell in FF2, I'm pretty sure the animation is the same.
>finally cleared golbez ex
those last 2 gales are insane, it feels like there's so much going on at once.
is Zero finally a good character yet?
yes she almost got naked just because
>no quirky onsen scene with Zero and her lack of inhibitions
Ero-parody vn when
she's reached the "I fight for my friends" stage of her character development
No and in fact it seems they just killed any possibility that there would be some twist to her that somehow improves or explains her. The twist is "There's no twist, she's no more and no less than what she appears to be, the first random voidsent that both you and Zenos came across".

ZODIARK TRANCERS........ OUR RESPONSE???
>Pandaemonium final cutscene
Literally what the FUCK did he mean by this? I really felt like he was talking about more than he was letting on. And that finale with him in the sea, what the fuck was that? What did he know, what was that light? He couldn't be reincarnating, his persona wasn't even washed away yet.
All of Pandaemonium 3 feels like a fucking leadin to something else. From the inconclusive ends of Athena and Eric, to the unknown origins of the Heart, to Azem's fucking foreknowledge, to the warnings about the REAL Pandaemonium WHICH WE NEVER FUCKING ACTUALLY INVESTIGATE.
This feels like things are totally unfinished.
The introduction of time travel and two timelines of branching content, one of which is supposed to canonically take place within the span of a day (your trip to the past and return trip) is going to prove to be a wild lore mistake if it grows past pandemonium.
Time on the other side of the portal is literally progressing at the same rate as time on the Source. Eventually they'll hit the Final Days and Themis will call WoL for help not knowing he's in the future.
Azem is on some fucking Batman all according to keikaku shit that will be revealed in 10 years time.
>Fanfest mount is a motorcycle with Alpha

It doesn't even look that good.

Why the fuck is Elidibus' soul even on the source when he died on the first?
Emet-Selch and Minfilia died on the First too
Hydaelyn was still alive when he died for real right, she probably just yanked his soul over like she did with Minfilia's
SHB is not canon
Athena really is a boss bitch and yanked him from the First.
Presumably his soul returns to the Aetherial Sea on the Source because he's unsundered

>doesn't talk
>doesn't even have a real model
>didn't seem to do anything really
Calling it, Zeromus is defeated before 7.0. What a shitty fucking arc.
The Memoriate crystal that Zero was holding was dropped on his hole, so my guess is that Golbez friend memories get absorbed by Zeromus.
SE not giving Zeromus a proper model tells me it is going to die ASAP. There is no way they go into 7.0 with that hideous mess as the main villain.
or they're just...hiding the full model until 6.5
Zeromus is obviously the 6.5 trial
It'll probably have a real model made for the boss fight
Definitely not going to be a 7.0 enemy though lmao
>SE not giving Zeromus a proper model
Play FFIV retard
>he thinks these are the same
retard or contrarian? a big particle effect is not a fucking model you moron
in fact those hands could be ripped from an ARR mob
Hey retard the whole point of it is that Zeromus in FFIV is first a big shroud of darkness that gets blasted away to reveal his true form after using the crystal of light.
bro has 2 arms and looks like a zombie with a dragon head
He looks nothing like the original game
It will be a single player instanced fight and you will like it
Yeah no shit it's not surviving until 7.0, they told us before 6.1 that this plot wasn't leading up to 7.0.
protoss looking bitch
I don't understand how she's supposed to be a threat. Big strong void dragon I guess, but she's just another one of Middie's kids. We've already beaten Nidhogg and even beaten a simulacrum of Middie in his prime. This is the least threatening enemy in a while.
It's made of Zodiark's aether.
We effortlessly beat 7/14ths of Zodiark's aether on the First. There was some potential for Zeromus to be interesting if it was Zero, Golbez or Durante or something - so that we have some character. Just having dragon+some aether is boring and weak, like the entire post-EW MSQ so far.
I'm glad the raid story is at least good.
>First
Source
>We effortlessly beat 7/14ths of Zodiark's aether on the First.
The Zodiark in EW was an empty husk that Fandaniel was still learning how to control during the course of the fight. He had no idea how to wield the full power.
holy fuck i'll take ishikawa's dumb fujo moments and excessive jerking off of the ancients anytime over this MSQ

There's your twist.
That's fucking retarded, how did Y'shtola know?

I have done the rampants for the fights so many goddamn times that the hatred and muscle memory of it is embedded within me.

Bro?
Your pentamelded crafted set?
That's for people with gil. I can't afford even one piece.

Just craft it yourself, why are you not a Omni crafter/gather already?
The more you look at Golbez's story the dumber it gets
>he was a random literal who mage who went around bonking Memoriates on the head for le justice
>looked like a ridiculous villain so much so that Zero wanted nothing to do with him and his boyfriend
>oh also he died offscreen xd
>and now his boyfriend Durante the Hedgehog, another literal who, is pretending to be him
>and then he became the strongest voidsent ever uhhh just because!
Fucking WHAT dude. What is the point of all of this?
The original Golbez is our shard, Durante is Zenos other shard
His voice and model should have told you this
>The original Golbez is our shard
I see the schizocope theories have already begun
M8 did you seriously take nothing from the fact that WoL saw the entire echo flashback from his point of view down to seeing his fucking eyelids closing when he'd wink? And how he was the only one not voiced in it?
What are you talking about? The Echo has randomly used first person perspective before. Remember Amon?
Also the voice is just SE being cheap again. They didn't want to assign a VA for one or two lines since the real Golbez is dead.
>They didn't want to assign a VA for one or two lines since the real Golbez is dead.
There were like 4-5 characters with just a handful of lines in this patch alone that got voiced
>The thavnarian waitress + customers.
>The garlean dipshits.
>Pretty sure one of the random alchemists talked at some moment.
There's a decent Shadowbringers-esque story to be told here, but it would have taken a whole ass expansion so instead we get this rush job in between real expansions.
i thought we were gonna get fun stuff this patch like golbez crashing the 13th into the source. but its yet just another setup
golbez just drops from the moon ceiling this patch and then we fight and then zeromus happens and then nothing happens
>6.5
>Fight with Zeromus where he's this amorphous entity, some plot device is used to solidify him or something, Zero maybe dies or fuses with him to make him killable
>Fight has multiple phases, the Zero/Zeromus initial fight
>Zeromus is defeated and he transforms back into Zemus, fight phase 2
>After defeating Zemus you learn that Zemus is actually a lunarian named Fusoya who became corrupted by a quest for power by Emet
Post more Ryne or Alisaie
Reminder that Lyse is canonically weak to hypnosis.
she is as dumb as a rock, no hypnosis needed
If someone is curious about the 4.0 dungeon changes.
For the majority of bosses, they just added the "moves to the middle to perform mechanic".
The second boss of Castrum Abania has been completely remade, he even has a slight different name.
They deleted the claws in the soul extraction mechanic in the second boss of Ala Mhigo.
That's just the things I found noteworthy, I think Yol was also nerfed a little bit.
>>They deleted the claws in the soul extraction mechanic in the second boss of Ala Mhigo
more soul removed
dungeons will have literally no identity left by 7.0
>They deleted the soul on the mechanic where the boss literally says INITIATING SOUL EXTRACTION
You can't make this shit up
I still have no idea what the fuck am I even looking at here.
angery
That's Zeromus. He's basically an avatar of hatred?
new waifu that isnt shit when
Kneel.
Elidibussy just can't stop winning
He even got more significance than Emet at this point
>gets a voice acted cutscene in a fucking sidequest
they must really like his voice actor
hope he's in XVI
Elidibus always had more significance outside of 5.0 itself. Although they like to pretend SB Elidibus never happened these days.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
HE HAD A KATANA
There has to be an 8 SAM clear of WoL somewhere
Should be hard. I cleared atleast the first phase with a single pld and I because crystal healers are not to be trusted.
This was back when merciful eye was athing so I can self heal outside of blood/wind.

No, but I have several ounces of semen backed up specifically for Athena.
Man, it's like they specifically were trying to create a shot based on that Yandere Girlfriend meme.
>How about I fucking kill you, how about that?
UNLEASH
>We can't beat Zeromus!
The WoL is not going to do a training arc. We are merely going to run in and fight it like we do with everything else and kill it without issue. Why is the story trying to pretend that 1/14th of Zodiark's power is any kind of threat when we already beat the real deal?
I don't think the problem was the WoL can't beat it, it's that Zero can't memoria it
Because this new writer has no idea what he's doing
We should have wrapped this up this patch and had 2 trials or something
The story is fucking DRAGGING
zeromus is gonna transport us to another shard aku style
its 1/14 of zodiark + golbez's buddy + a great wyrm
we've never beaten a great wyrm without hax
>Hydaelyn and Zodiark are weaker than a wyrm
shut the fuck up
zodiark at 8/14 is exponentially weaker than he'd be at his whole self. how fast can a bicycle missing one of its wheels go? the whole is greater than the sum of its parts
Hydaelyn remains the strongest being we've killed without plot powers. Excepting maybe Her Infloresence, depending on your interpretation of it
Endsinger dumps all over Hydaelyn and everything else we've fought in terms of power level. She was throwing supernova at us.
Endsinger was fought in a realm of dynamis.
Yes, which is more powerful than Aether, which is why she (and us during her fight and the fight with Zenos, and Zenos generally) are so stupidly overpowered compared to everything else we've seen thus far.
>Yes, which is more powerful than Aether
No, retard. You don't get how this works at all. You can't powerlevel something like dynamis which is pure emotional belief power.
Exactly the point. All the beings of Aether operate under normal power level conditions. The WoL is exceptional because they operate on Gurren-Lagaan-willpower-defeats-anything logic. Going forward the only time we can possibly have a fight with any kind of danger is when our opponent is also has completely nonsensical outside power level scaling as well, like the Endsinger and Zenos.
dynamis. we had zenos and our buddies giving us power. Thordan was defeated with a dragons eye, as was Nidhogg, Alexander let us win, Bahamut Prime wasn't Bahamut at his full power, Zodiark was incomplete and Fandango was jobbing
you could argue that Hydaelyn also let us win, but I imagine she wouldn't let a 12000 year gambit go to waste because of her sentimentality
>Thordan was defeated with a dragons eye
>Alexander let us win
There is no proof of either of these.
We have Nidhogg's eye with us when we take on Thordan. Estinien gives it to us when we break off from the group in Azys Lla
Alexander says it IN THE FUCKING BATTLE
The only thing Alexander let us do is go back and save ourselves from the laser once he had verified we were ready to proceed to the next stage of the test. He had to make sure we were strong enough to carry on in his place, so it would be retarded to throw the fight.
>Thordan was defeated with a dragons eye
WoL didn't use it when he 1v13 btfo'd Thordan.
its a giant aether battery that we use to power attacks anon. the same reason we have 5 (five) crystals of light makes us such a powerful fighter to begin with
To be fair, we didn't beat her by ourselves. We needed a straight up Fairy Tail friendship moment or she would have killed us with the planet.
don't get me wrong, Endsinger is a contestant for most powerful FF boss EVER. but we had plot powers making it possible for us to even comprehend her
We beat Middie in his prime during SB, a great wyrm is a joke
Let me guess, emet is also correct about everything he said. Imagine actually believing omega’s fanfic is real
I don't see why we would think that the emulated-Middie is any weaker than the real Middie, given that Omega was able to fight Mid to a draw and we were able defeat Omega at his most powerful.
So you're saying the dragons are > Zodiark? Cause we beat him, we beat Hydaelyn, we beat Endsinger. There's no way a shard of Zodiark even with the dragon is stronger than them.
I don't think she memoria'd the four fiends either. She can't do much if we don't beat them up first.
Zero is gonna become a reaper avatar and bound with WOL to beat Zeromous dying in the process
Bro we're going to the First again in 6.5
I bet he's gonna make Gaia the focus too just to make things extra shit. Also mandatory 2 hour Y'shtola and Runar reunion arc.
Gaia can't be in the MSQ because she's optional content
They will make Eden mandatory, it's happening and you will all cope
>they still haven't made normal raids mandatory
any shitter can do them
come on square you gays, anyone that gets filtered by normal raids shouldn't get to play
Gaia is not canon
Gaia is canonically hot.
Oh yeah let's drag the obligatory "Can I do anything to hel-" "Yeah, fuck off." exchange 2 hours long.
If this story doesn't end with Azdaja becoming a face 3 femra straight shota lizzer this whole thing was pointless
I wanna cum on her face
Will this fucking thing stop being used at some point?
why would it?
If it's used in outworldly places then yeah sure but using it on the source (like mount ordeals) is stupid
Unless they're gonna do more Trust trials then I don't expect them to change this, even when fighting on the Source. Azem's power is how the lore explains us fighting encounters with other players. We're literally summoning other WoLs because that is how raiding actually works in the game
Yeah you're right bro....
Let me just page our allies across the sea so they can join us and fight
I'm sure the big bad will wait
>past 4 expansions people just join you
>somehow in EW that's a problem
>uhhh random warriors of light and adventurers ok
>JUST NOT IF FROM STONE
Did you forget they were pointing out how stupid it was in Stormblood?
Why? It is a super convenient way to explain how the WoL gets a bunch of randos to come fight a raid with him.
This is the most based part of the WoL's arsenal and you're a gay
So long as it's the in lore duty finder stone probably not.
so 6.5 will be all about beating zeromus, leaving a whole .5 patch with 1-3 quests for the 7.0 setup. ebin.
I really enjoyed this MSQ.
I'm not really sure what people want. Feels like Shadowbabies used to le epic adventure thinking that's what the entire game is.
I do get annoyed by the constant Zero wankfest from everyone that meets her. It feels entirely undeserved and the product of the writer's OC waifu obsession.
>Feels like Shadowbabies used to le epic adventure thinking that's what the entire game is.
We're on the fucking moon fighting Golbez and Zeromus, what the FUCK are you talking about retard
There's a lot of stuff inbetween that people are bitching about because it doesn't reveal the secrets of the entire universe with every line of dialogue.
You mean the pointless filler? Yeah, people don't like that shit. Getting into another fucking petty squabble with Garleans over trade agreements is the epitome of kino, huh?
Even the dungeon was filler.
>dude its full of aether woaoahhowooww xd
So fucking what the whole planet is full of aether
>WE WANT TO GO BACK TO SIMPLER TIMES JUST BEING A RANDO ADVENTURER SOLVING PROBLEMS
>NO NOT LIKE THAT!
>WE WANT TO GO BACK TO SIMPLER TIMES JUST BEING A RANDO ADVENTURER SOLVING PROBLEMS
Have you ever heard of "tone"?
I liked the dungeon though, it's been forever since the Kraken (and nobody has seen that fight in years) and Octodork was always a cool boss design
But you have to admit it's a filler dungeon. It's not important other than "has a lot of aether".
Now if we had a red moon dungeon where you're fighting your way to Golbez's throne, that'd be interesting.
>if you don't like bunnies swooping in for more "comedy" you're a newfag
Even the fucking fish were way better than this.
>le epic adventure
that's literally the current plot though? another world ending threat not even 2 patches removed from the previous world ending threat?
It's paced terribly. I can deal with long segments of political intrigue and diplomacy, I actually enjoyed those parts of Stormblood, but it's all so half baked. I could care about the Garleans not being happy about being occupied and basically at the mercy of the alliance but the story hasn't given me enough time to care. They're mostly just annoying cunts that act indignant whenever a reasonable request is asked. Zero grinding on fixing her dark autism is unironically better.
>paced terribly
Makes me wonder how many of these concepts were meant for that cancelled Garlemald expansion and they are trying to shove them into the current story rather than just dropping them entirely.
Zero as a replacement for a redeemed-Zenos-becomes-a-Scion thing seems like it could have happened in a post-Garlean MSQ prior to the EW proper expansion
MSQ was just meandering boring shit until the red moon (the last 10 minutes)
the actual boss + pande were fucking amazing though

>New EX wont take too long to beat

Trancers working overtime today huh?
That latest Luckybancho census really salted their asses.
Take your psychotic fucking obsession back to /vg/
Bro Im just saying that the new direction the story is taking in is kinda boring
I expected more from XIV devs but honestly why did they give the story reins to the fucking BRD job quests guy
It's gonna be slow starting because they are literally trying to start over while at the same time putting old stuff to bed.
They've even used the raid series to put lingering Ascians to rest.
that's fair but please XIV devs do some shit like the Bloody Banquet or I am rapidly losing interest in the MSQ(the only thing I'm subbed for lmao)
It gives me early ARR vibes mixed with stuff that probably should've been covered in Endwalker itself. Like a weird mix of a new tale but also a typical expansion story patch series.
>Luckybancho census
How the fuck does play stats have anything to do with storyfags seething? Are you just using trancer as a synonym for doomer?
Because one of their favorite claims is that the game is dying and everyone is leaving when it's clearly the opposite.
These vocals sound like an awfully translated japanese song
The vocals are just Scream + Sic Svnt Leones
it takes lyrics from it but its just 2 verses. it has 2 of its own verses as well. it also contextualizes both songs so its great
i fucking LOVE this design. always had a soft spot for fairies. to me this is Airy on steroids. i also love her title. we fought 4 'hemitheos' and then we face the true Theos
>Selene was tired of your bullshit
Zeromus is going to job so hard, it won't kill anyone and Azdaja will get cleansed of her stinky darkness
Lowest stakes of all time
Someone has to die for any of this to have been worth the time investment. I think Vrtra is gonna fucking get it while his sister is redeemed.
>they will do this for vieras but not au ra
they do actually
This is so stupid it makes me want to change to Viera
>a voidsent 7 times weaker than Zodiark, who we dunked on in early EW
>NO HES TOO STRONG RUN AWAY
He has home field advantage
So did EW Zodiark what the fuck
We jobbed against an old man with a lizard
He caught us off guard with some tai chi bullshit, we smear him all over the floor later
That sounds like cope the Warrior of Light would say
>>NO HES TOO STRONG RUN AWAY
Yeah you do that
>gets btfo by a side character
not strong
Zodiark was incomplete and being piloted by a lunatic that wanted to end it.
Zeromus is powered by an even MORE incomplete Zodiark
And it didn't even do anything it just stood there in silence as Zero bounced off of it like a gnat
This is why we should have been depowered by the end of EW. No conflict makes sense anymore. WoL can just blink and melt any black hole eating mega god's face off now.
I don't think the WoL can power-scale to the same level as when we fought the Endsinger and Zenos any time we like, we were in the middle of the densest puddle of Dynamis in the universe. Even without the Zodiark-bubble our star remains drenched in Aether which is a natural cap on our bullshit scaling ability.
>No conflict makes sense anymore
When it's written in retardation.
It's over for Zero en la Fuerma de Paladino?
Write Zero's story in 7.0
Hard mode: no killing her
She goes on a world-trip to taste every food on each country
Honestly it really is going to just be that she's a gourmand. Everyone eventually gets flanderized to their base components in this story. At most I will hope her personality evolves to a point where she's talkative, it would be bold to radically change her in some way.
Kill her
offscreen
She fucks off
one phrase:
ZEROMUS TRANCE
Zero returned to her home planet
lyse 2.0 aka irrelevant and background dressing
I'm unironically excited for the next patch if only because we're potentially going to get to see Ryne again. If they're smart they'll make Eden mandatory so Gaia can join in too.
Her VA voiced the first boss so there's a good chance she's gonna show up.
Zero's boring now honestly.
She's acting just like another happy to be here Scion at this point. Her entire angle is over.
I don't understand why they're pushing her as a character at all. She's just another stoic bruiser, we already have Estinien. What is she bringing to the table as a character?
Her special snowflake memoriate power to crystallize voidsent I guess.
she is replacing Redeemed Scion Zenos that's the reason she is bad
>Redeemed Scion Zenos
Oh, so a Scion that was once a villain who then became our rival and then friend over the course of the entire game from ARR? We already have that character his name is Estinien
The writer's poorly disguised fetish
Honestly does feel like he's just pushing his waifu. >Everyone loves her and she's so great!
she's not competent enough to be a mary sue. at best she's waifu bait, but its such a narrow taste
>Alexander and Eden's Promise are super presentation heavy fights
>Omega not so much but it also had one of the most kino cutscenes right after
>this shit is just a standard ass boss on a square fight followed by standing around and talking to people in a reused dungeon
alexander > athena > bahamut > omega > eden's promise
we'll see if that changes when savage comes out, because oracle of darkness is great
Take me back bros...
Normal mode E12 was unironically kind of fun because casuals would always collect vuln stacks in the mech vomit after the lesbian cutscene, so if you were a tank or healer you got to actually play hero.
Gaia's relativity and apoc were thematically great mechanics and her soft enrage is kino.
Should've been the hat.
So when Vrtra lands on the moon, they aren't suggesting he flew from the planet right? There was just a big ass teleporter I wasn't paying attention to.
He explicitly flew from Hydaelyn to the Moon, he makes mention that Great Wyrms are able to travel through space, just not as fast as Middie
I knew dragons could fly in space since that's how they got to the planet to begin with, but I figured it took a lot of time. This dude can get to the moon in like a couple hours it seems, how fast is he?
he flew to the moon. we don't know how, but dragons can fly in space in this setting
Because dragons aren't dragons in this setting, they're the thing. They can do pretty much anything by deciding they want to do it and their bodies adjust. They're a biological version of the Omicron, always growing and changing to suit their environment and purpose
They only do that once when they hit puberty.
He flew from the planet, he literally says "Like my sire, I can travel through the great emptiness".
>they aren't suggesting he flew from the planet right?
He straight up says he's gonna fly. He's too big to use the teleporter.
>face 5 midlanders being blacked freaks is canon
