gay weeb aesthetics and sounds
like the combat animations and attack sounds are so annoying
it's all over the top
like why does some basic attack sound like an anime move
and why am i killing mole rats with that move
seal rock and danzig nadam are the only content in the game that aren't mind numbingly boring or have you waiting in the pf for hours with sperglords who take the game too seriously
because they took away everything interesting from it in heavensward
They really need to rework trash mob combat or at least make something to use your full kit on the mobs, like AoE skills have cooldowns and the mob pack always has a "leader" that is better to dispatch first
>mob pack always has a "leader" that is better to dispatch first
this existed in old expansions, they just removed it. also you're moronic if you don't want to aoe big mob packs
Playing XVI for the first time made me wonder why did they think having everything spam particle effects was a good idea, then I played some quick FL matches later that day and everything made sense
it went downhill in stormblood when they dumbed down the gameplay for casuals. sure is fun playing healer and pressing 1 button for 70% of your rotation and that's not an exaggeration
they genuinely don't seem to understand that healer dps should be interesting when healers are designed and intended to be dpsing as much as they can squeeze in. they still think it's about finding the correct healing:not healing ratio to satisfy everyone, but the problem is simply that there's not enough buttons to push when the party doesn't need to be healed.
remove 2-3 healing skills from every healer, replace with 2-3 dps skills. easy fix.
WOW has always been on top. The “reports” that said XIV overtook WOW were lying. No sources.
WoW has always been the premiere MMORPG and nothings gonna change that.
You can probably just read a tutorial and play around vs AI in Mahjong Soul. Or in XIV I guess. I can't remember if there's an actual tutorial in XIV but you don't want just to rely on the options that show you dangerous tiles or what you should discard next.
Mahjong Soul is a good client to start out with. You can also have the rules handy, and then play FF14 against the bots in the Gold Saucer, and follow the "Tips" while trying to understand what's going on.
Compressing two expansions into a single one, throwing away years of foreshadowing so you can rush through the obligatory Garlemald segment to instead subject the player to an embarrassing fanservice bukkake so devoid of pacing that even people who enjoyed that part don't remember anything that happened.

You're not supposed to point out that Shadowbabies and Endfetuses destroyed FFXIV threads with their moronic cultish behavior towards the game. It's not politically correct to bring up that Stormblood threads were funnier and comfier because they were before thin-skinned, parasocial ancientgays ruined everything.
You're the only person in the world moronic enough to still have the Zodiark trancers living rent free in your head. I'm sorry that your months of cataloguing their moronic discord server amounted to nothing but it's time to move on.

>OOHHH ZODIARK SAMA >I TELL THEM WE DON'T EXIST >I TELL THEM IT'S NOT REAL...BUT THEY DO NOT BELIEVE ZODIARK SAMA....AIIEEEEEE OUR COVER IS BLOWN ZODIARKO AIIEEEE!!!!!!
EW only made me realise how overrated SHB actually was, I miss when things were simpler, way too many retcons now, the ascians were better as shadow homies than autistic communists from the past
It didn't have a adventure zone like Eureka and Bozja.
Criterion Dungeons are barely different than regular dungeons.
And Island Sanctuary is a pointless piece of grind people just do for the cosmetics.
Every job in Endwalker is completely replaceable with any other job that shares its role. Player job stereotypes no longer make sense when every job is designed for maximum universal appeal.
this post makes no sense with animation lock still applying to spineshatter dive + dragonfire dive and elusive jump still being more than capable of sending you off a ledge
They really need to rework trash mob combat or at least make something to use your full kit on the mobs, like AoE skills have cooldowns and the mob pack always has a "leader" that is better to dispatch first
Criterion was worthless because they added no incentive at all do run it after a few times.
The first one had a decent looking set with questionable shoes, but that's about it.
Savage dungeons is a cool idea, but they clearly didn't care enough to execute it properly or even reward the playerbase.
This almost feels like a fricking F2P title after EW patch cycles have taken their turns.
There's literally nothing worth resubbing for in 6.5. Nothing at all really, not even the final crafting tools or gatherer tools. They're adamantly refusing to give players a single reason to run any content past a fricking piece of glam, a title, and maybe a mount.
There needs to be more. They need to add content specific gear stats like in Bozja with the augmented law's order JDG sets.
Island sanctuary was honestly such a fricking tragedy though, that's something that still baffles me. None of the rare animals are even worth getting. There's no reason to.
>incentive
You put it better than I did. The dirty little truth is an MMO needs the skinnerbox incentive. There are enough games out there, and games with more fun content or more challenging content, that you won't be motivated to do some MMO stuff if there's no kind of tangible reward for it. With Island Sanctuary they just made it regular gathering/collecting except you don't get gil, you just get this half-assed settlement. Had they just made it what people wanted (instanced housing) then people would be hogwild on it.
And honestly the new world barely interests me. I want to say "Like yeah I'll get it on release" but even that I'm not so certain of unless they really wow us with new classes or something else. I am absolutely fricking certain all the people going >Teehee I am glad they are lowering the stakes! >heehee I love beach episode expansion hoo hoo
are going to b***h about the lack of stakes and lack of investment if they don't manage to jazz the story up more than just >Anime tournament arc to decide how the savages appoint a new leader
A game doesn't need a skinner box incentive dude. That just means the game on its own doesn't hold you.
That's because the game sucks.
Look at all the people still playing Team ninja games decades after their release because of how fricking solid the game design is.
Why the hell would you ever play an MMO for class building, this entire genre has been notoriously terrible for classes being pigeon-holed into meta builds or having fifty trap choices you should objectively never take along their skill trees to pad them out. Go play Diablo 2 or something.
Any fricking MMO i've ever played had me giddy at the thought of running a new different build and see it's strengths and weaknesses.
XIV doesn't offer that at all. The closest you can get is BLU and that's a strictly Caster role you can't even use in roulettes.
Fricking have a nice day. XIV is the only dogshit you play if you're really asking for people to name one.
Jobs definitely need more unique ways to build, and at the very fricking least abilities to be swapped out. The bloat of job skills is going to be a problem in 7.0 if they don't figure something out.
And for the homosexuals who say it's still easy, I didn't say it was hard to work with it, I mean to say that it's fricking tedious and redundant when it could be varied and fun to frick with.
Frick your parsing homosexualry and meta-whoring bullshit. If that's your argument unironically have a nice day.
>The bloat of job skills is going to be a problem in 7.0 if they don't figure something out.
Jobs have steadily remained at or around the same number of actions on their hotbars that they currently have since ARR.
>the bloat of job skills is going to be a problem in 7.0 if they don't figure something out.
holy shit shadowbringers baby detected. endwalker jobs have half the binds at 90 than you did at 50 in arr.
The melee DPS jobs in ARR were harder to play than anything in Endwalker but if you tell this to Shadowbabies they'll accuse you of trolling, because redditors who didn't play ARR have convinced them that everything about ARR was bad.
>The bloat of job skills is going to be a problem in 7.0 if they don't figure something out.

>it's fricking gay as frick how WoL is now better friends with Ascians than his actual friends the Scions.
Is that really the impression you got? I feel like WoL only gets strong reactions to the ancient characters because now he knows the full story and still has to fight them/see them die, not because he feels particularly close to them. No different from feeling sad about Yotsuyu's death. Back in ARR the Scions dying had WoL go into full on depression and retirement into a church, and that wasn't even far into the game.
Seems like this game is going the way of 24 where only the odd seasons are good. ARR was boring, Heavensward was great, Stormblood was ruined by Lyse though it did get some brownie points for Eureka excluding Pagos, Shadowbringers was great, so far Endwalker has been boring
It's strange how I was fricking sick of seeing Zenos in Stormblood and even in Shadowbringers was tired of them cutting back to him and Fandaniel.
Then suddenly Endwalker comes along and I cant wait for the next Zenos appearance I'm so sick and tired of Ascian garbage.
It definitely started getting better again though going through Pandæmonium, but that was really only the first 4 wings. The next 8 are bland and boring.
Peaks right around the time you meet Lahabrea
Then just fumbles when they start the family bullshit with his son
And somehow keeps falling even further when they introduce the wife
and as if that's not enough the story just shits itself and says "everyone loved the Warrior of Light encounter, let's do it again but this time he's dark and light"
Not even getting into the shitheap that is Zero and Golbez or the Relic grind
Was Yoship just too busy with XVI to come in and give direction? Endwalker will go down as one of the worst expansions and Dawntrail will probably be kino
Still have yet to see a single good reason why Endwalker is supposed to be bad. You Black folk were not here for Heavensward, I love the MSQ, but the expac itself was boring.
Demistifying the ancients after 5.0 was a huge mistake and ruined the story. We should've never gotten a closer look at their society than we did in Amaurot. Hydaelyn and Zodiark should've never been humanised.
Always remember fujos make up a significant portion of the Final Fantasy community.

ok but what about the 2 minute bozja type a/b /misc/tard kate meta?
Once upon a time we had side content like Eureka and Bozja. And even before then we had obnoxiously long relic grinds that couldn't be finished in a week.
I'm a legacygay and still subbed. This is the worst the game has ever been thoughbeit but I roleplay and I'm grinding out old relics so I find stuff to do.
Ive played since ARR beta, the raids are what make the game, the rest is window dressing with little staying power. the MSQ is bretty good also, anyone who disagrees is wrong. It's not that the other content is bad but it's not enough in itself. imo tho the same is true for wow, you need a special kind of autism to just grind pvp and mounts in wow, the same kind of autism people who do all the other bs in XIV.
Just cleared TEA recently which makes me a quad legend, just need to do TOP now and then maybe I'll quit idk.
>the raids are what make the game
i agree with you to some degree but i also agree with things like bozja and eureka being important for the game and having the same amount of staying power as the current raid tier
i touched eureka on release and got to pagos when it dropped and it was mostly grinding, i stopped back then but i went back recently to finish it and it's the friendliest most social thing i've done in xiv aside from statics
i hate the new club culture to "make up" for the lack of having to communicate with others
i hate o/
but eureka has been great and fun and it feels like an mmo, so i think having side content that incentivizes people grouping up outside of raids is good
i think that if you don't play for raids or for things like that and you just play for the story and farming mounts then you're wasting your sub
I definitely think "midcore" content with good rewards (like Criterion Savage could and should be) is important for the game health. Mostly I want more things to do at max level.
Hell, one of the only reasons I do savage is to have an excuse to use my level 90 kit in something more challenging than roulettes (and because the music kicks ass too I guess).
>I really have to wonder who would unironically think this after having to go through 99.99% of the game dealing with said monkeys.
Trancers are, by pure coincidence, the same morons who went into the game sympathizing with the Garleans unironically and rooting for them to win. It's a combination of being actual unironic poltards and galactic-level contrarianism.
>The Zodiark trancers are troony communists >Actually they're Russian Nazi skinheads >Actually they're furries from WoW >Actually they're Barry >Actually they're libertarians from Croatia >Actually they're Marxist-Leninist-Maoists from the Philippines
Make up your fricking mind.
The simple fact of the matter is that everyone is just projecting whatever they feel like into the Ancients, so the Trancers are obviously gonna get a bunch of politics obsessed loons.
The English script of this game makes no fricking sense. >The boy's just not buoyant.
What? Boyant? What the frick does that even mean? He's not boyish because he looks like a girl? What? I shouldn't have to constantly google these archaic bullshit words. >Meanwhile, pic related
Clear, concise, and honestly... pretty hilarious. Alphinaud can't swim! Everyone from all walks of life, including those without an English major, can understand it. Beautiful. How dare Koji continue to frick with the masterpiece that is the JP script?
The problem with this game is that nobody involved in CBU3 wants to make an MMO, or a video game for that matter, they want to make visual novels masquerading as video games. Making this game's primary "content" be the fricking story was a critical error that irrevocably fricked this game from the get go. It's an MMO. MMO's should be social experiences first, if they have a story at all they should be entirely optional and sidelined for the sake of social content.
The recetnt changes to the game to make it fully singleplayer with the Trust system, and replacing Exploratory content with fricking a solo island farm simulator just proves this, the devs do not want to put in the effort to make this game into an actual proper MMORPG. They have completley given up and have resigned this game to being another singleplayer FF title. It's also easier and less costly to just write more story "content" that's barely voice-acted (even the MSQ) with cutscense that are 90% just characters /emoting instead of being hand-animated for the scene, than it is to make actual content, let alone social content.
This game is in maintenance mode, the devs are on auto-pilot and are just farming this game's remaining subs and mog-station purchases, putting the money into other projects which will continue to fail like Forspoken.
This game was never an RPG, there has never been talent trees/builds to allow you to customize how you play your class. Every SAM/PLD/BLM etc plays the exact same. There is no elemental dmg, fricking fire spells can dmg fire elementals. And so on, this game has always failed as an RPG.
Games like Elden Ring and Baldurs Gate 3 show that what people want are actual proper RPGS where they have meanginful choices with how they play their characters, rather than be shoehorned in to playing an autistically specific way. They want freedom of choice.
Yoshi P and CBU3 hate freedom of choice is the problem. morons complaining about "MUH JOBS BEING DUMBED DOWN" should be complaining about the lack of talents/builds that actually let them customize their classes like any goddam RPG since ye olden times has let you.

I borrowed FFXVI from my friend last month, so no, I didn't support a gay game. Again, a CRPG just mogged the de facto JRPG series. You are a moron, simple as
I seriously question how anyone could have ever possibly enjoyed this game, outside of the story and ERP. FFXIV has, and always has been, the worst MMORPG (for actually providing what an MMORPG should provide) to ever fricking exist. Even the story fails at giving you meaningful choices and just forces you to be le noblebright do-gooder. You cant even fricking ROMANCE anyone.
If you ever enjoyed this game for anything besides the MSQ you have serious braindamage unironically.
The fact that Warriors, a class that has always been just a dude with a weapon (any kind of weapon), is in this game FORCED to use two-handed axes and be some berserker-moron is a travesty. In fact the entire idea of making every class forced to use 1 specific weapon was a horrid mistake.
I seriously miss WoW's system of every class, while not being able to use any weapon, can at least use a multitude of different weapons. Warriors in XIV aren't even warriors, they're berserkers and should've been called that.
Warrior not being abre to use all weapons its really a disgrace. Also warrior being a berserk its only on the name and the axe. No reason to not let him use other weaps
I liked XI's weapon proficiency system. Warriors were best suited for using axes but you could also go sword and board and use greatswords. They could use an axe with one hand and a shield with the other for tanking or use a greataxe for DPS. I wish a system like that made it to ARR.
Didn't 1.0 have enemy weaknesses that incentivized players to bring blunt weapons to fight skeletons and shit?
Yeah, that's why PLD has the macahuitl swords for blunt damage. MNK has claws for slashing and caesti for blunt, etc. Every weapon had varying levels of slash/blunt/piercing
The problem with this game is that nobody involved in CBU3 wants to make an MMO, or a video game for that matter, they want to make visual novels masquerading as video games.

It's over. This game, as an MMORPG, is over.
As someone who started MMOs in the late 90s (EQ, FFXI, Vanilla WoW etc) and still currently play XIV, idk what to tell you but shit changed a long time ago and it ain't ever going back to the way it was.
Once you accept this is how MMOs are you will either stop playing or just try to find fun in what is left. The MMOs that offer old-style shit like EQ or whatever are pretty much dead now. Even FFXI went from EQ style gameplay to basically XIV, since Retail XI has trusts and you can solo most of the content. If you don't solo you're just quad-boxing 4 accounts lmao.
If you want games where you can edit your characters stats and equipment, go play single player games like Dark Souls. MMOs will never have that shit ever again because casual players (the majority of subscribers) don't like it. An MMO company will never market toward the 10% of hardcore raiders/players. MMOs already did that in the past and died like WildStar
>so why'd you bring it up?
Cause you homies keep wanting more RPG elements or whatever where you can edit your character and casuals don't like those kinda systems. Therefore, I referred to them as the 'hardcore' crowd
Baldur's Gate 3 just fricking blew up bro, even Soulstard can handle bog basic stat allocation. Not every casual is some braindead moron who can't do basic maths. The genre is called "MMORPG", why the frick would you play it if you don't like RPGs? There is zero evidence for casuals hating RPG elements or builds, especially when every fricking AAA game needlessly has RPG elements these days.

Act 1 is dozens of hours long anon, that's much higher than I thought it'd be. Look at any single huge single-player game on steam, achievements percentages falls off a cliff the longer a game is hell, only 40% of people finished the Bloody Baron questline in The Witcher 3.
>Not every casual is some braindead moron who can't do basic maths
XIV devs need to drill this into their heads instead of dumbing down the game even further in 7.0.
CBU3 has zero expectations from the player and I fricking hate it. Instead of teaching people how to play the game, they just expect the bare minimum from them. Like, how the frick does an easy mode get nerfed, what kind of moronic player base are you fostering at that point?

>If you want games where you can edit your characters stats and equipment, go play single player games like Dark Souls. MMOs will never have that shit ever again because casual players (the majority of subscribers) don't like it.
are you moronic? that is literally only a problem in XIV
acquiring new gear sets to frick around with different builds is a defining centerpiece of GW2 and ESO, and still prevalent in WoW as well
hell, GW2's main endgame goal is to grind out legendary gear that serves the singular purpose of allowing you to equip any gear set at any time
story focus worked for XI

try CMtool or "concept matrix"
You're right and the other anon is just a mindbroken cultist. CBU3 considers gameplay a formality.
>resigned this game to being another singleplayer FF title
Cool. Trust Savage when?
This game was never an RPG, there has never been talent trees/builds to allow you to customize how you play your class. Every SAM/PLD/BLM etc plays the exact same. There is no elemental dmg, fricking fire spells can dmg fire elementals. And so on, this game has always failed as an RPG.
Games like Elden Ring and Baldurs Gate 3 show that what people want are actual proper RPGS where they have meanginful choices with how they play their characters, rather than be shoehorned in to playing an autistically specific way. They want freedom of choice.
Yoshi P and CBU3 hate freedom of choice is the problem. morons complaining about "MUH JOBS BEING DUMBED DOWN" should be complaining about the lack of talents/builds that actually let them customize their classes like any goddam RPG since ye olden times has let you.

It's good though, JSR/F was my jam back in the day, but BRCF has a lot of miss tracks for me, single line repeating does not make a funky ost
Yeah, I was replaying Jet Grind Radio on my Dreamcast a few days ago, and pretty much every song is good. BRCF has a lot of good ones, but it also has some meh ones. At least you can unlock songs and play them on the phone I guess. Also, the game feels kinda, I dunno, janky... Haven't played it in a while, but it is over 20 years old at this point I also want to replay JSRF at some point too

One of the Trancers on the forums (some Hrothgar) tried calling somebody out about this in the Lore subforum and accusing that person of being the same person posting this image about the troony trancer, saying they were "doxing" them for not like Venat, and the forum mod deleted the Trancer's post and perma-banned HIM.
I just woke up from a nap and I had a dream. A dream where there was a section in the game when Lyse would have sexy pillow talk with the player. Every time you clicked in the game, she'd utter another lurid phrase.
>Buoyant boy pasta is posted. >"Muh Zodiark Trancers" schizo immediately undergoes complete mental collapse and begins dumping his folder.
What is it about StormKINO that mindbreaks Shadowbabies so much?
YoshiP started to put all the resources on that dogshit new game and cucked the FFXIV fanbase with shit patches. I hope the shit sales of XVI will force the team to kneel before the players and deliver Eureka KINO again.
Well, Venat simps, Venat said she's weaker than Zodiark, yet Zodiark is the lvl 83 trial and Hydaelyn is the lvl 89 trial. This proves Hydaelyn is actually canonically stronger and that she's a lying prostitute.

It is not a bad game but there really is nothing left to do post level 90. I felt this was the weakest expansion overall. Stormblood was better.

I got stockholmed into liking deep dungeon while grinding Bozja artifacts. Orthos is cool but it's still true that pretty much nobody actually likes deep dungeons and any hype for them was always from people wanting fast levels for alts.
Orthos was a step in the right direction. Just need to make enemies hit harder again and tone down some of the gotcha instakill knowledge checks (gorillas)

This one is somehow more fun to run even with the gimped kit than the twelve blarper one, where everything croaks before any mechs even happen. Are they not even testing the newest alliance raid to see how it plays with current gear?
FFXIV is walking in a thin thread, the moment other good MMO with good customization for RP appears, people are gonna jump the boat.
In fact I wonder if PSONGS is super trash because in that category it totally blowns out any other mmo.
>the moment other good MMO with good customization for RP appears
You will be waiting forever. Nobody in their right mind would develop an MMO in the current day an age.
It's incredibly high risk, especially if it's a fresh IP, incredibly high maintenance genre, and your target audience is likely already sunkcost/addicted to another MMO and won't fricking quit it over yours unless theirs critically shits the bed.
Why the frick would you do that when you can just shit out another low-effort, low-maintenance slop riddled with microtransactions and live service shit?
Has anyone joined the EB finder discord?
If yes how was it?
The most fun I had playing this game was when I had an EB but she disappeared randomly. Pretty sure she died.
Thats not true. The job desing is simplify shit and because of that the Simon say for savage and ultimate is now harder than before because Jobs are now easier. It makes sense, its a good mix because of it. But its boring af dealing with the artificial difficulty.
Neither does Square, that's why we're now getting finished jobs like DRG getitng reworks because they literally don't know what else to add that isn't a lvl 100 jump skill on a 120 sec cooldown
They really need to make them less rote. Every fight you just press the same buttons in the same order; healers literally just follow a script for hard content. If you're a tank/healer you just press one of your ten oGCDs when the boss winds up for something during the strict pattern it always follows with almost never any variation. The 2 minute meta needs to go, and tank self/partywide healing needs to be severely reduced. Make jobs synergize again with damage types or something (yes I know people hated it, but it's better than what we have now) and buffs that do more than just increase damage. Parsetrannies will HATE this, but it needs to be done to make the gameplay fun again.
>when the boss winds up for something during the strict pattern it always follows with almost never any variation.
Would you rather the boss do the same near insta kill move three times in a row?
Yes. Just react or find a way to not die. Or even if you die you can just be revived like any real final fantasy, dying shouldnt feel bad like this game makes it to be. Your objective is to kill a monterrey that feels like a real one. Not this shitty robot programmed to always do the same thing.
Practically speaking there would be limits to how often (if at all) a boss could use forced vuln/death scenarios, but even your example is more fun than the current fully scripted design.
People liked hoh because the game was still enjoyable to play in sb, you could even still find parties for it at the beginning of shb, meanwhile orthos died during the same patch
everyone i know who joined the "muh activision sex scandals, abandon ship" exodus hate current WoW, discovered FFXIV is worse, and simply quit MMOs entirely
>He doesn't know how luckybancho works.
If someone is counted as inactive in the census it means they haven't played the most recent major patch at all.
>keep paying $15 a month get a little bit of patch story every few months after base expansion >or resubscribe right before new expansion releases and get the entire patch story without having to wait
no... way... dead game...
>unsubscribe because no content >resubscribe when content releases >this is worse than continuing to sub despite whining that there's no content
Unless you want to raid every savage tier in the expansion and clear it while also gearing all your favorite jobs, or farm the latest ultimate, or whatever the frick, there is no reason to stay subbed between patches. The only person it's "bad" for is SE since they're not taking your money, and if they're not giving you any content, why are you mad that people aren't giving them more money?
why do people keep comparing world of warcraft - an actual, massively multiplayer online, and most importantly, an ACTUAL GAME - to this VN with a second-life-ish ERP chatroom postgame? it doesn't even have a fricking seamless world.
>Those people who moan 24/7 about a game they don't even like instead of just putting it down, avoiding posts about said game and just playing other games
no you don't understand if i don't slander my competitor at every turn the few people i still have left playing my dying game will abandon it and by extension me
i don't want to waste the hundreds of hours of my life i've sunk into grinding pixels
you are legitimately moronic to think you can compare the time invested required by MMOs to literally any other genre of game. when the frick was the last time you played a single player game for hundreds of hours?
>when the frick was the last time you played a single player game for hundreds of hours?
Zoomer literally never even heard about Oblivion or Skyrim LMAO. Frick I put 300 hours into Witcher 3 alone
>when the frick was the last time you played a single player game for hundreds of hours?
People are still playing Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3/NV/4, Witcher 3, Mount and Blade Warband/Bannerlord, Civilisation and many other single-player games to this day.
>when the frick was the last time you played a single player game for hundreds of hours?
Zoomer literally never even heard about Oblivion or Skyrim LMAO. Frick I put 300 hours into Witcher 3 alone
Not comparable. In those games you frequently ditch a character/save to start over with new mods or playstyles over and over. It's the MMO equivalent of making an alt.
>we're paying costumers who deserve
If you don't like a product you stop paying moron, instead of giving them more money and just complaining. What kind of logic is that lmao
I'd love to raid too, i just don't have time or patience to find a group.
So I'll just make my fun off of making money off of those players, helping future newbies in my fc out, and eventually getting a bigger house that I can make most of the stuff to decorate it.
How come it's impossible for any girl to be better than Feo Ul?
Nanamo and Feo Ul are the best characters in the game and my biggest wish before they kill the island updates is inviting npcs to visit. And a Titania mount
this is the reason i don't have a house. why the frick would i be permanently subscribed when the game is worth one, maybe two months of subscribing a year?
some people i know only subscribe once an expansion.
Bullshit. The Dev team has been releasing zero content for 2+ years now and have had excuses at every corner. First it was Covid, then it was XVI, now its the graphics update.

16 sucked too. No stats to edit. No equipment. Dungeons were basically just FF14 dungeons with trash and arenas. You could cast fire on fire monsters and it would damage them.
Wow, the palette cleansing expansion after a build up to an almost universe cleansing cataclysm is going to be filler like?
Give this man a medal for the most moronicly obvious prediction.
We're going to fight another universe ending threat in Dawntrail regardless just like how our little adventure began and ended with 6.1 and we're now fighting to save the world yet again.
The only difference will be that you won't give a frick about any of these Not!Mexicans you met 5 minutes ago and it will all be localized entirely in a place you have no emotional attachment to unlike Eorzea.
So it'll be like how none of us gave a homosexual's AIDS-ridden ass about the not-Eorzea areas and people in Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and Endwalker?
The difference here is that Ishgard, Ala Mhigger and Othard were frequently mentioned in the story and characters from those places showed up in the MSQ. Your connection with those locations you never went were through Haurchefant, Raubahn/Lyse and Yugiri. By them you began to know those places by proxy.
Then we have the New World, whose only existence is through non voiced BLU filler quests and has no relevancy whatsoever even during the greatest apocalypse the world has seen.
WoL writing and story has backed them into a corner. Not a single monster they make now in future expansions is going to feel threatening after travelling to the literal edge of the universe to fight death.
I can't get the body mods I want to use to work together so every time I log in I see everything is wrong which makes me immediately log out and play something else
Been going on for some five weeks, I tried again today but I get so bombarded with dms on discord I couldn't get enough focus to make any sort of progress, so after three hours today (two of which I spent in silence) I had to log out and forget about it again
I really wish I knew someone who could help, I know it can be done but the number of mods needed just to make it work is so complicated it's such a tangled mess
Fumbled the story that the expansions were building up to and didn't give the zodiark v hydaelyn the gravitas it deserved. Garlemald being a nothing burger was a subversion of expectations I didn't need and the final days being tied to a last minute monster of the week villain in meteia is the pinnacle of bad Japanese storytelling. Trying to retroactively tie her to previous lore was a joke.
They got cold feet on the original plan to follow up Shadowbringers with a Garlemald Expac and then The Final Days Expac after, due to wanting to keep up the momentum from the WoW Refuge Boom.
This caused them to blow their load in 6.0 and the combo of the graphics update & 16 meant that the creative and technical energy for content was anemic.
I imagine a world were we did get a full Garlemald expac, 16 does its thing, and the graphics update coincides with The Final Days expac and since they had at the very least the Lunar Primals to fall back on we could of gotten a solid flow of content.

If I didn't play XIV I wouldn't even know what the frick is going on here, looks like dogshit tbh, unappealing as all hell.
it went downhill in stormblood when they dumbed down the gameplay for casuals. sure is fun playing healer and pressing 1 button for 70% of your rotation and that's not an exaggeration
they genuinely don't seem to understand that healer dps should be interesting when healers are designed and intended to be dpsing as much as they can squeeze in. they still think it's about finding the correct healing:not healing ratio to satisfy everyone, but the problem is simply that there's not enough buttons to push when the party doesn't need to be healed.
remove 2-3 healing skills from every healer, replace with 2-3 dps skills. easy fix.
I don’t want a 123 pointless rotation, I want to actually have to use my healing abilities.
That said making lost seraph strike as a lvl 100 ability would make healers much more interesting in casual content

Don't look at the rating and just play nonstop!
What mahjong vidya would be best to get into and learn how to play mahjong with?
You can probably just read a tutorial and play around vs AI in Mahjong Soul. Or in XIV I guess. I can't remember if there's an actual tutorial in XIV but you don't want just to rely on the options that show you dangerous tiles or what you should discard next.
Mahjong Soul is a good client to start out with. You can also have the rules handy, and then play FF14 against the bots in the Gold Saucer, and follow the "Tips" while trying to understand what's going on.
Why are you talking about this troony game and not starfield?

Compressing two expansions into a single one, throwing away years of foreshadowing so you can rush through the obligatory Garlemald segment to instead subject the player to an embarrassing fanservice bukkake so devoid of pacing that even people who enjoyed that part don't remember anything that happened.

It's just one guy who spent months ruining FFXIV threads with this shit. He put a lot of effort into constructing an elaborate fanfiction in which all the doomposters in the FFXIV official forums were a cabal of WoWgays with stolen XIV accounts and single-handed responsible for every single criticism against FFXIV on the whole Internet. People eventually got bored of him spamming this shit in every thread and stopped playing along with it, leaving him mindbroken.

You're not supposed to point out that Shadowbabies and Endfetuses destroyed FFXIV threads with their moronic cultish behavior towards the game. It's not politically correct to bring up that Stormblood threads were funnier and comfier because they were before thin-skinned, parasocial ancientgays ruined everything.
t. zodiark trancer
You're the only person in the world moronic enough to still have the Zodiark trancers living rent free in your head. I'm sorry that your months of cataloguing their moronic discord server amounted to nothing but it's time to move on.

It didn't have a adventure zone like Eureka and Bozja.
Criterion Dungeons are barely different than regular dungeons.
And Island Sanctuary is a pointless piece of grind people just do for the cosmetics.
What are the designated butthole nobody likes and bro everyone wants jobs?
Tanks
Every job in Endwalker is completely replaceable with any other job that shares its role. Player job stereotypes no longer make sense when every job is designed for maximum universal appeal.
this post makes no sense with animation lock still applying to spineshatter dive + dragonfire dive and elusive jump still being more than capable of sending you off a ledge

Eureka alone proves this post is just rose tinted goggles. Look me right in the eye through your monitor and tell me Eureka was worse than old Diadem.
Eureka sucked too. XI style grinds don't work with XIV's combat.
They really need to rework trash mob combat or at least make something to use your full kit on the mobs, like AoE skills have cooldowns and the mob pack always has a "leader" that is better to dispatch first
It's not FFXI
Frick island sanctuary man.
It's so stale and undercooked. Time-gated to hell and back, too.
Emet-Selch pandering
6.0 had a cutscene dedicated just for saying what a cool guy he was
Island sanctuary was absolute trash.
Patch content was ass.
Criterion is interesting but too little too late.
Criterion was worthless because they added no incentive at all do run it after a few times.
The first one had a decent looking set with questionable shoes, but that's about it.
Savage dungeons is a cool idea, but they clearly didn't care enough to execute it properly or even reward the playerbase.
This almost feels like a fricking F2P title after EW patch cycles have taken their turns.
There's literally nothing worth resubbing for in 6.5. Nothing at all really, not even the final crafting tools or gatherer tools. They're adamantly refusing to give players a single reason to run any content past a fricking piece of glam, a title, and maybe a mount.
There needs to be more. They need to add content specific gear stats like in Bozja with the augmented law's order JDG sets.
Island sanctuary was honestly such a fricking tragedy though, that's something that still baffles me. None of the rare animals are even worth getting. There's no reason to.
The biggest insult was adding shadow wolf mount to Mogstation
>perfect chance to get people into BLU right off a new update with a lore appropriate mount
>instead give them NO REWARD
>sell it for $24 usd
The cash shop will be the downfall of XIV. Instead of putting the stuff in content as an incentive, they throw it in a fricking cash shop.
>incentive
You put it better than I did. The dirty little truth is an MMO needs the skinnerbox incentive. There are enough games out there, and games with more fun content or more challenging content, that you won't be motivated to do some MMO stuff if there's no kind of tangible reward for it. With Island Sanctuary they just made it regular gathering/collecting except you don't get gil, you just get this half-assed settlement. Had they just made it what people wanted (instanced housing) then people would be hogwild on it.
And honestly the new world barely interests me. I want to say "Like yeah I'll get it on release" but even that I'm not so certain of unless they really wow us with new classes or something else. I am absolutely fricking certain all the people going
>Teehee I am glad they are lowering the stakes!

A game doesn't need a skinner box incentive dude. That just means the game on its own doesn't hold you.
That's because the game sucks.
Look at all the people still playing Team ninja games decades after their release because of how fricking solid the game design is.
xiv is a mediocre game in its entirety.

Not actually being an MMO and having literally zero class building or customization
Why the hell would you ever play an MMO for class building, this entire genre has been notoriously terrible for classes being pigeon-holed into meta builds or having fifty trap choices you should objectively never take along their skill trees to pad them out. Go play Diablo 2 or something.
Class building is great an MMOs that aren't designed like shit.
Name the ones you're thinking of or frick off, I don't have time or patience for vague arm gestures towards "other MMOs" this thread.
Nobody cares what you have time or patience for you stuck up homosexual
I acchuck your consneedsion.
>no counter argument
Yes thanks for admitting that there's no excuse for an RPG to have literally zero character building.
Any fricking MMO i've ever played had me giddy at the thought of running a new different build and see it's strengths and weaknesses.
XIV doesn't offer that at all. The closest you can get is BLU and that's a strictly Caster role you can't even use in roulettes.
Fricking have a nice day. XIV is the only dogshit you play if you're really asking for people to name one.
>Any fricking MMO
You blew it, dude.
Jobs definitely need more unique ways to build, and at the very fricking least abilities to be swapped out. The bloat of job skills is going to be a problem in 7.0 if they don't figure something out.
And for the homosexuals who say it's still easy, I didn't say it was hard to work with it, I mean to say that it's fricking tedious and redundant when it could be varied and fun to frick with.
Frick your parsing homosexualry and meta-whoring bullshit. If that's your argument unironically have a nice day.
>The bloat of job skills is going to be a problem in 7.0 if they don't figure something out.
Jobs have steadily remained at or around the same number of actions on their hotbars that they currently have since ARR.
>the bloat of job skills is going to be a problem in 7.0 if they don't figure something out.
holy shit shadowbringers baby detected. endwalker jobs have half the binds at 90 than you did at 50 in arr.
The melee DPS jobs in ARR were harder to play than anything in Endwalker but if you tell this to Shadowbabies they'll accuse you of trolling, because redditors who didn't play ARR have convinced them that everything about ARR was bad.
>The bloat of job skills is going to be a problem in 7.0 if they don't figure something out.
We are getting like 3 skills per expansion now and many of them are just upgrades that use the same button
The previous expansion added the worst character in the series to the main cast.
Nobody is discussing game mechanics or story. It's all just shills and brain-damaged coomers.
Endwalker has more and better content than Shadowbringers.
>b-but I don't like IS and VC
I didn't like Ishgard Restoration or Bozja.
Most people like VC, it's just not replayable or fills the midcore niche because Criterion is borderline savage difficulty.
IS is negative content.
>Island sanctuary
Log in once a week content
>Variant Dungeon
Take 6 hours to finish and you never have to do it again
Who are you trying to convince? I hated most of shb but ew is even worse

Wowfugees caught up the to endgame and realized what the rest of us had already realized. Without the long term history of being a beaten housewife to this game, wowfugees moved on. The rest of us are still here. Still suffering. He still loves us. Probably.

For me it's Maplestory and FFXIV. But otherwise I mostly get sucked into team-based games like Deep wiener Galactic or TF2.

Demistifying the ancients after 5.0 was a huge mistake and ruined the story. We should've never gotten a closer look at their society than we did in Amaurot. Hydaelyn and Zodiark should've never been humanised.
Your ancient worship is pathetic ShadowBlack person.
>Don't like Endwalker's cringe ancient wank or how they're now the center of everything.

ARR DRG had more rotational buttons than most jobs in Endwalker.
>wanting LESS ancient stuff is worship
Do you have a thought in your head or do you just spew random bullshit and hope it makes sense?
Actually what I said was the blatant HOMOSHIT FOR YOUR ENEMIES is what is ruining the story.
Always remember fujos make up a significant portion of the Final Fantasy community.
>it's fricking gay as frick how WoL is now better friends with Ascians than his actual friends the Scions.
Is that really the impression you got? I feel like WoL only gets strong reactions to the ancient characters because now he knows the full story and still has to fight them/see them die, not because he feels particularly close to them. No different from feeling sad about Yotsuyu's death. Back in ARR the Scions dying had WoL go into full on depression and retirement into a church, and that wasn't even far into the game.
Seems like this game is going the way of 24 where only the odd seasons are good. ARR was boring, Heavensward was great, Stormblood was ruined by Lyse though it did get some brownie points for Eureka excluding Pagos, Shadowbringers was great, so far Endwalker has been boring
It's strange how I was fricking sick of seeing Zenos in Stormblood and even in Shadowbringers was tired of them cutting back to him and Fandaniel.
Then suddenly Endwalker comes along and I cant wait for the next Zenos appearance I'm so sick and tired of Ascian garbage.
It definitely started getting better again though going through Pandæmonium, but that was really only the first 4 wings. The next 8 are bland and boring.
Peaks right around the time you meet Lahabrea
Then just fumbles when they start the family bullshit with his son
And somehow keeps falling even further when they introduce the wife
and as if that's not enough the story just shits itself and says "everyone loved the Warrior of Light encounter, let's do it again but this time he's dark and light"
Not even getting into the shitheap that is Zero and Golbez or the Relic grind
Was Yoship just too busy with XVI to come in and give direction? Endwalker will go down as one of the worst expansions and Dawntrail will probably be kino
Hiroi is writing 7.0 so the story is likely a lost cause.
see
Still have yet to see a single good reason why Endwalker is supposed to be bad. You Black folk were not here for Heavensward, I love the MSQ, but the expac itself was boring.
ok but what about the 2 minute bozja type a/b /misc/tard kate meta?
I'd rather talk about Gankerltists trying to derail threads into /misc/ shitflinging whenever people express their disappointments with the game.
Me watching the DT trailer
I've enjoyed everything but stormblood.
I played Stormblood and Shadowbringers back to back and enjoyed Stormblood more.
Glad to hear! My buddy likes it but I only think it was okay
Stormblood was the last time the game was any good
Stormblood patch content was good imo. Hated the story/vanilla though.
XIV was better before the Wowfugee crisis

I'd be happy to go back and play the game but there's nothing to do.
Why are people pretending this game hasn't always been DO EVERYTHING TUESDAY then nothing?
Once upon a time we had side content like Eureka and Bozja. And even before then we had obnoxiously long relic grinds that couldn't be finished in a week.
>relic grind
OH MAN I FRICKING LOVE DOING FATES AND THE SAME DUNGEONS I HAVE ALREADY DONE 100 TIMES 100 TIMES MORE
>why do you pretend you had things to do?
"There's no pretending. We had things to do."
>THAT DOESN'T COUNT THOSE THINGS SUCK
>shb zoomers are still defending ew
Meanwhile no one who has been playing arrhw is still subbed
I started in HW and still play and love Endwalker. Quality of content has gone up considerably. Only dislike how tanks play now.
Let me guess, pld main?
I'm a legacygay and still subbed. This is the worst the game has ever been thoughbeit but I roleplay and I'm grinding out old relics so I find stuff to do.
Ive played since ARR beta, the raids are what make the game, the rest is window dressing with little staying power. the MSQ is bretty good also, anyone who disagrees is wrong. It's not that the other content is bad but it's not enough in itself. imo tho the same is true for wow, you need a special kind of autism to just grind pvp and mounts in wow, the same kind of autism people who do all the other bs in XIV.
Just cleared TEA recently which makes me a quad legend, just need to do TOP now and then maybe I'll quit idk.
i am
>smoking
you're going to get cancer
>the raids are what make the game
i agree with you to some degree but i also agree with things like bozja and eureka being important for the game and having the same amount of staying power as the current raid tier
i touched eureka on release and got to pagos when it dropped and it was mostly grinding, i stopped back then but i went back recently to finish it and it's the friendliest most social thing i've done in xiv aside from statics
i hate the new club culture to "make up" for the lack of having to communicate with others
i hate o/
but eureka has been great and fun and it feels like an mmo, so i think having side content that incentivizes people grouping up outside of raids is good
i think that if you don't play for raids or for things like that and you just play for the story and farming mounts then you're wasting your sub
I don't know man, I think someone paying to play once every Tuesday is wasting their money.
I definitely think "midcore" content with good rewards (like Criterion Savage could and should be) is important for the game health. Mostly I want more things to do at max level.
Hell, one of the only reasons I do savage is to have an excuse to use my level 90 kit in something more challenging than roulettes (and because the music kicks ass too I guess).
Started in ARR and I like EW
Doomposters are a sad bunch.
Finally finished my ARR relic. I feel exhausted as frick but it was worth it.
I was thinking about doing it again for Summoner book, but I cbf.
Zodiark Trancers have finally outted themselves as literal nazis lmfao.
Last week they were leftypol trannies. What happened and why do they seem to change their stance every week?
just like they change genders
Go make another blacked edit. It'll show those fascists!
One of their literal first arguments was "Sundered beings are monkeys with no soul while ancients are actual people".
>One of their literal first arguments was "Sundered beings are monkeys with no soul while ancients are actual people".
That one was a real mask-off moment (this guy is now permabanned btw)
I really have to wonder who would unironically think this after having to go through 99.99% of the game dealing with said monkeys.
>I really have to wonder who would unironically think this after having to go through 99.99% of the game dealing with said monkeys.
Trancers are, by pure coincidence, the same morons who went into the game sympathizing with the Garleans unironically and rooting for them to win. It's a combination of being actual unironic poltards and galactic-level contrarianism.
>the nazi were actually manipulated by the shadow israelites
Just like in real life
Garleans are Soviets THO
>I shill for a utopic race with no discrimination or anything!
They are autistic commies, just like the moronic ancients

Make up your fricking mind.
You are fricking gay no matter your politics.
Zodiark Trancers did January 6.
VenatGODS did 9/11.
Learn your lore.
The simple fact of the matter is that everyone is just projecting whatever they feel like into the Ancients, so the Trancers are obviously gonna get a bunch of politics obsessed loons.
They've always been commies, morons just fixated on the *perfect race* part of the ancients
who cares about zodiark trancers, they're just a cult within a cult
The boy is simply not buoyant. This fact makes many seethe.
The English script of this game makes no fricking sense.
>The boy's just not buoyant.
What? Boyant? What the frick does that even mean? He's not boyish because he looks like a girl? What? I shouldn't have to constantly google these archaic bullshit words.
>Meanwhile, pic related

The problem with this game is that nobody involved in CBU3 wants to make an MMO, or a video game for that matter, they want to make visual novels masquerading as video games. Making this game's primary "content" be the fricking story was a critical error that irrevocably fricked this game from the get go. It's an MMO. MMO's should be social experiences first, if they have a story at all they should be entirely optional and sidelined for the sake of social content.
The recetnt changes to the game to make it fully singleplayer with the Trust system, and replacing Exploratory content with fricking a solo island farm simulator just proves this, the devs do not want to put in the effort to make this game into an actual proper MMORPG. They have completley given up and have resigned this game to being another singleplayer FF title. It's also easier and less costly to just write more story "content" that's barely voice-acted (even the MSQ) with cutscense that are 90% just characters /emoting instead of being hand-animated for the scene, than it is to make actual content, let alone social content.
This game is in maintenance mode, the devs are on auto-pilot and are just farming this game's remaining subs and mog-station purchases, putting the money into other projects which will continue to fail like Forspoken.
It's over. This game, as an MMORPG, is over.
story focus worked for XI
didn't read
try CMtool or "concept matrix"
ffxi msq was actually hard, not like this literally VN of a game.
You're right and the other anon is just a mindbroken cultist. CBU3 considers gameplay a formality.
This game was never an RPG, there has never been talent trees/builds to allow you to customize how you play your class. Every SAM/PLD/BLM etc plays the exact same. There is no elemental dmg, fricking fire spells can dmg fire elementals. And so on, this game has always failed as an RPG.
Games like Elden Ring and Baldurs Gate 3 show that what people want are actual proper RPGS where they have meanginful choices with how they play their characters, rather than be shoehorned in to playing an autistically specific way. They want freedom of choice.
Yoshi P and CBU3 hate freedom of choice is the problem. morons complaining about "MUH JOBS BEING DUMBED DOWN" should be complaining about the lack of talents/builds that actually let them customize their classes like any goddam RPG since ye olden times has let you.
>This game was never an RPG, there has never been talent trees/builds
please please please shut the frick up with CRPG-isms being your definition of real RPGs
Seething JRPGtard. Anon was right, FFXIV is in no way shape or form an RPG.
Lets be real. JRPGs aren't RPGs. They're visual novels with menu based combat.
role playing is for fat losers and little girls
Every single JRPGtard copes like this for some reason.
Role playing is fricking stupid.
We''re talking about game systems, not literally RPing. You already know that though, you just don't have an argument, so instead you choose to act like a moron.
You are talking about pretending you aren't a fat loser. Do some push ups.
Average JRPGtard. Incapable of having a normal discussion, has to act like a moron to cope
You are a in a jrpg. Go pretend crpgs aren't the worst genre somewhere else my friend
A CRPG just completely embarrassed the Grandfather of JRPGs.
I am aware you supported a gay game.
One of the main characters in XVI is a gay man.
I borrowed FFXVI from my friend last month, so no, I didn't support a gay game. Again, a CRPG just mogged the de facto JRPG series. You are a moron, simple as
>Games like Elden Ring
>actual proper RPGS where they have meanginful choices with how they play their characters
lol
>Baldur's Gay fan when the learns Firemen use Fire to fight Fires.
I seriously question how anyone could have ever possibly enjoyed this game, outside of the story and ERP. FFXIV has, and always has been, the worst MMORPG (for actually providing what an MMORPG should provide) to ever fricking exist. Even the story fails at giving you meaningful choices and just forces you to be le noblebright do-gooder. You cant even fricking ROMANCE anyone.
If you ever enjoyed this game for anything besides the MSQ you have serious braindamage unironically.
The fact that Warriors, a class that has always been just a dude with a weapon (any kind of weapon), is in this game FORCED to use two-handed axes and be some berserker-moron is a travesty. In fact the entire idea of making every class forced to use 1 specific weapon was a horrid mistake.
I seriously miss WoW's system of every class, while not being able to use any weapon, can at least use a multitude of different weapons. Warriors in XIV aren't even warriors, they're berserkers and should've been called that.
I wish there was a muggle sword and shield job...
Warrior not being abre to use all weapons its really a disgrace. Also warrior being a berserk its only on the name and the axe. No reason to not let him use other weaps
I liked XI's weapon proficiency system. Warriors were best suited for using axes but you could also go sword and board and use greatswords. They could use an axe with one hand and a shield with the other for tanking or use a greataxe for DPS. I wish a system like that made it to ARR.
Didn't 1.0 have enemy weaknesses that incentivized players to bring blunt weapons to fight skeletons and shit?
Yeah, that's why PLD has the macahuitl swords for blunt damage. MNK has claws for slashing and caesti for blunt, etc. Every weapon had varying levels of slash/blunt/piercing
A warrior is just a combatant. They shouldn't be defined by a weapon or gearset or anything. In GW2 a warrior can use a fricking GUN, for example.
Warrior was also somewhat of a Berserker stand-in in FFXI
Almost all job decisions can be traced to FFXI or to Final Fantasy games prior to that
As someone who started MMOs in the late 90s (EQ, FFXI, Vanilla WoW etc) and still currently play XIV, idk what to tell you but shit changed a long time ago and it ain't ever going back to the way it was.
Once you accept this is how MMOs are you will either stop playing or just try to find fun in what is left. The MMOs that offer old-style shit like EQ or whatever are pretty much dead now. Even FFXI went from EQ style gameplay to basically XIV, since Retail XI has trusts and you can solo most of the content. If you don't solo you're just quad-boxing 4 accounts lmao.
If you want games where you can edit your characters stats and equipment, go play single player games like Dark Souls. MMOs will never have that shit ever again because casual players (the majority of subscribers) don't like it. An MMO company will never market toward the 10% of hardcore raiders/players. MMOs already did that in the past and died like WildStar
>An MMO company will never market toward the 10% of hardcore raiders/players
No one ever wanted that though so why'd you bring it up?
>so why'd you bring it up?
Cause you homies keep wanting more RPG elements or whatever where you can edit your character and casuals don't like those kinda systems. Therefore, I referred to them as the 'hardcore' crowd
Baldur's Gate 3 just fricking blew up bro, even Soulstard can handle bog basic stat allocation. Not every casual is some braindead moron who can't do basic maths. The genre is called "MMORPG", why the frick would you play it if you don't like RPGs? There is zero evidence for casuals hating RPG elements or builds, especially when every fricking AAA game needlessly has RPG elements these days.
BG3 blew up because of ecelebs and zoomers being moronic only 39% have beaten Act 1.
Act 1 is dozens of hours long anon, that's much higher than I thought it'd be. Look at any single huge single-player game on steam, achievements percentages falls off a cliff the longer a game is hell, only 40% of people finished the Bloody Baron questline in The Witcher 3.
CBU3 has zero expectations from the player and I fricking hate it. Instead of teaching people how to play the game, they just expect the bare minimum from them. Like, how the frick does an easy mode get nerfed, what kind of moronic player base are you fostering at that point?
>Not every casual is some braindead moron who can't do basic maths
XIV devs need to drill this into their heads instead of dumbing down the game even further in 7.0.
>Not every casual is some braindead moron who can't do basic maths
*blocks ur path*
>If you want games where you can edit your characters stats and equipment, go play single player games like Dark Souls. MMOs will never have that shit ever again because casual players (the majority of subscribers) don't like it.
are you moronic? that is literally only a problem in XIV
acquiring new gear sets to frick around with different builds is a defining centerpiece of GW2 and ESO, and still prevalent in WoW as well
hell, GW2's main endgame goal is to grind out legendary gear that serves the singular purpose of allowing you to equip any gear set at any time

I emulated TotK and it was garbage
Same mistakes from BotW
I have a huge backlog but never get around to it because of choice paralysis and have trouble getting into new games
I was thinking of replaying New Vegas
I would like to pick up Armored Core VI, it looks good
Cry about it nerd
i like bomb rush cyberfrick...
I am agreeing with a pink lala, what has my life come to
It's good though, JSR/F was my jam back in the day, but BRCF has a lot of miss tracks for me, single line repeating does not make a funky ost
Yeah, I was replaying Jet Grind Radio on my Dreamcast a few days ago, and pretty much every song is good. BRCF has a lot of good ones, but it also has some meh ones. At least you can unlock songs and play them on the phone I guess. Also, the game feels kinda, I dunno, janky... Haven't played it in a while, but it is over 20 years old at this point
I also want to replay JSRF at some point too
The jank is part of the charm for me, but lord I wish there was a better way to get combo count than "Go around every corner in the map" and a proper playlist editor so I could never listen to "gut mah naiols dun" ever again
Not really my type of game, hope you're having fun
oh..I forgot to mention I'd like to play XVI but it's not on PC yet
Notice the lalaavatargays gettting uppity when they realize the entire discussion has nothing to do with them and is, instead, about the actual game?
People are having a discussion buddy
When's the last time you've contributed something of note here? Click the funny spoiler for a big surprise!
not once
feel free to call me mad when you reply to me, too
what discussion? All I see are miserable doomposters blaming the game for their sad life.
>AIIIIEEEEEE STOP DOOMPOSTING

I'm glad it ended. I don't have to resub anymore. RIP beach front house.

They copied all of WoWs bad parts without keeping the good parts.
There is no progression in the game.
>venat simps out in full force ITT
ugh
>weekends
>FFXIV threads are atrocious
simps out in full force ITT
>ugh
People likes Venat? I do feel that toward Graha though, wish he died
They need to learn how to troony bangs, they're not completely hopeless.
One of the Trancers on the forums (some Hrothgar) tried calling somebody out about this in the Lore subforum and accusing that person of being the same person posting this image about the troony trancer, saying they were "doxing" them for not like Venat, and the forum mod deleted the Trancer's post and perma-banned HIM.
LMFAO
>muh zodiac killers [boring fricking OF drama]
shut up
I just woke up from a nap and I had a dream. A dream where there was a section in the game when Lyse would have sexy pillow talk with the player. Every time you clicked in the game, she'd utter another lurid phrase.
Venat literally opened the border and let the shitskins in.
cool board thanks!
nothing wrong with mhiggers
She fricked the dog
Venat deserved to die for creating mhiggers.
Venat is a furgay not a leftoid
Should I pick up Paladin bros?
yeah why not
>Buoyant boy pasta is posted.
>"Muh Zodiark Trancers" schizo immediately undergoes complete mental collapse and begins dumping his folder.
What is it about StormKINO that mindbreaks Shadowbabies so much?
Who's even trolling who anymore.
YoshiP started to put all the resources on that dogshit new game and cucked the FFXIV fanbase with shit patches. I hope the shit sales of XVI will force the team to kneel before the players and deliver Eureka KINO again.
yoshi really did shit all over 14 fans I'll never forgive him
Well, Venat simps, Venat said she's weaker than Zodiark, yet Zodiark is the lvl 83 trial and Hydaelyn is the lvl 89 trial. This proves Hydaelyn is actually canonically stronger and that she's a lying prostitute.
>eeeeeee how dare you criticize this game that's now pandering to completely different people than 5 years ago eeeee
I'm sick of the narrative that EW had a story even comparable to Heavensward and Shadowbringers.

>First part of Thavnair is filler
>Moon Rabbits
>The liquid dogshit that is Sharlayan and Labyrinthos
>The fricking audacity to make Labyrinthos TWO BORING ASS PARTS
The only decent parts were Ultima Thule, first part of the Moon, and the second part of Thavnair with the Final Days.
I'm sick of people pretending isekai filler expac was even as good as Stormblood or that Heavensward wasn't so bad it nearly killed the game.
Only good parts of Stormblood were the far east and Ala Mhigo dungeon.
And the actually fun to do ultimates, and eureka, and the four lords, and rathalos, and rival wings, and the job designs and
I'm talking story not content. We all know EW has a severe lack of content.
EW has more content than Shadowbringers my friend. Why are you wowfugees even still here?
>EW has more content than Shadowbringers my friend
I guess!
If you also include old expacs
What fricking content does EW have that people are interested in doing? At least Shadowbringers had Bozja.
>that people are interested in doing
lol already saying it doesn't count because you don't like it.
Bozja was a pile of shit.
Not just me, the numbers of inactive players speak for themselves. No-one gives a shit about criterion dungeons and island sanctuaries.
>wowfugess went back
Cool. When will you?
Wowfugees era was Shadowbringers my man.
Bozja was so disliked instances were always full
Everyone alwyays ragged on bozja but it was always full and brimming with people doing stuff, the only people that loathed bozja were loudmouthed raidloggers.
And if you forced people to do VC for relic, it would instant queues all day. Bozja fricking sucks. It is dead content, unlike Eureka which didn't fricking suck.
>Incentives make people play the game
Just learning this now YoshiP?
He has always said not to play the game 12 months a year. Feel free to follow the baldman back to wow.
Name call all you want anon, it doesn't protect XIV from criticism.
>the game doesn't need content chud you were given permission to not play it
Raidloggers loved eureka and bozja, they gave them a reason to log in more than once a week, unlike the casuls they actually enjoy playing the game
>XIV is so fricking boring and dead that even the cultists are more interested in inane forums drama than discussing the game itself.
Wait minute, was Gigi actually using creation magic?
>pander to morons who hate playing the game
>most of the actural playerbase quits
wow
lets compare mmo capitals
FFXIV doesn't even let you render that many people at once, unfortunately.

>ERPers in ARR:
Weird, eccentric minority of the playerbase, widely mocked
>ERPers in Endwalker:
Game's core and most loyal playerbase.
lol no. I first played this game in ARR free trial on a NA server, your mentally ill country was like this then.
ERPers have been here since ARR, thats WHY they're the most loyal players. They have houses, finished a shitload of content and do every grind
I hope 7.0 permanently break plugins so we lose the only reason left to still play this game
Graphics update is gonna frick my shaders to make the game actually look good.
ideally your shaders wouldn't really be necessary with the lighting improvements

It is not a bad game but there really is nothing left to do post level 90. I felt this was the weakest expansion overall. Stormblood was better.
>brooo we're getting a new deep dungeon oh my god so cool fr fr
>Orthos is already dead and forgotten
I feel like I'm the only one who remembers that the exact same thing happened to HoH
A bit of randomisation can't fix boring gameplay anon
I don't recall people being hyped over-much for either HoH or Orthos personally.
People have only ever been hyped for deep dungeon because they wanted fast alt leveling. Very few people actually enjoy the content on its own merits.
Nobody was ever hype for HoH or Orthos. Only the first Deep Dungeon is any good, because you can try out jobs you haven't leveled at max level. Plu the neat Edda story tying into ARR MSQ
The Orthos story is cool and ties into Eureka and Bozja
Wouldn't know, I never did it. I think Deep Dungeon sucks.
I got stockholmed into liking deep dungeon while grinding Bozja artifacts. Orthos is cool but it's still true that pretty much nobody actually likes deep dungeons and any hype for them was always from people wanting fast levels for alts.
They aren't fun, and it should be scrapped. Variant dungeons are much better. Make more variants and create a roulette for it.
Orthos was a step in the right direction. Just need to make enemies hit harder again and tone down some of the gotcha instakill knowledge checks (gorillas)
PVP is more alive than it has ever been. Do all the doomposters crying about bozja not pvp?
Pvp is alive because of the moogle event dummy
>willingly eating shit
"U EAT SHIT LMAO" is everybody's favorite insult on Ganker in recent weeks.
>triggered shiteater
Says the Bozja fan.
It's garbage. Imagine being an online only game, where the online is so bad that game mechanics cannot function correctly.
>It's garbage
So was Bozja, Nier Raids, Weapon Trial story,etc. You know, the things Shadowbringer fans say I'm supposed to think were god's gift.
At least they functioned, unlike PvP
>bozja
Too bad endwalker doesn't even have an expedition zone to compare with lmao
>weapon trial
See above except with trial series

This one is somehow more fun to run even with the gimped kit than the twelve blarper one, where everything croaks before any mechs even happen. Are they not even testing the newest alliance raid to see how it plays with current gear?
it killed the game
Nothing. It's the same dogshit it's always been. Your wowfugee honeymoon is simply ending.

We reply to each other to have a conversation about the video game. Your point is shit.
>cycling through multiple ips
Are you schizophrenic?
FFXIV is walking in a thin thread, the moment other good MMO with good customization for RP appears, people are gonna jump the boat.
In fact I wonder if PSONGS is super trash because in that category it totally blowns out any other mmo.
>the moment other good MMO with good customization for RP appears
You will be waiting forever. Nobody in their right mind would develop an MMO in the current day an age.
It's incredibly high risk, especially if it's a fresh IP, incredibly high maintenance genre, and your target audience is likely already sunkcost/addicted to another MMO and won't fricking quit it over yours unless theirs critically shits the bed.
Why the frick would you do that when you can just shit out another low-effort, low-maintenance slop riddled with microtransactions and live service shit?
Has anyone joined the EB finder discord?
If yes how was it?
The most fun I had playing this game was when I had an EB but she disappeared randomly. Pretty sure she died.
I honestly don't know how they fix the job design.
Make them simpler. I don't know why you need to pretend that complex rotations and simon says raid design don't mix.
They mix good. Its just that is not fun at all.
If they mixed good it would be fun, moron.
Thats not true. The job desing is simplify shit and because of that the Simon say for savage and ultimate is now harder than before because Jobs are now easier. It makes sense, its a good mix because of it. But its boring af dealing with the artificial difficulty.
Neither does Square, that's why we're now getting finished jobs like DRG getitng reworks because they literally don't know what else to add that isn't a lvl 100 jump skill on a 120 sec cooldown
Lets not pretend 3/4ths of the level 100 actions aren't gonna be an extra finisher. Except MCH, they're getting another variation of Drill.
several jobs already have button bloat. What exactly do you Black folk want? Two keyboards?
I want shit that isn't on a 2 minute cooldown.
Severals? I'd argue only drg and sam do, and only because of their aoe combos
They don't need to.
They really need to make them less rote. Every fight you just press the same buttons in the same order; healers literally just follow a script for hard content. If you're a tank/healer you just press one of your ten oGCDs when the boss winds up for something during the strict pattern it always follows with almost never any variation. The 2 minute meta needs to go, and tank self/partywide healing needs to be severely reduced. Make jobs synergize again with damage types or something (yes I know people hated it, but it's better than what we have now) and buffs that do more than just increase damage. Parsetrannies will HATE this, but it needs to be done to make the gameplay fun again.
>when the boss winds up for something during the strict pattern it always follows with almost never any variation.
Would you rather the boss do the same near insta kill move three times in a row?
Yes. Just react or find a way to not die. Or even if you die you can just be revived like any real final fantasy, dying shouldnt feel bad like this game makes it to be. Your objective is to kill a monterrey that feels like a real one. Not this shitty robot programmed to always do the same thing.
So the boss uses the tankbuster three times in a row, the tank dies, and then it uses its aoes to prevent the healers from raising the tank.
Practically speaking there would be limits to how often (if at all) a boss could use forced vuln/death scenarios, but even your example is more fun than the current fully scripted design.
Yes. Fights need more reactive elements beyond puzzle mechanics that have easy solutions you can find in 3 seconds.
bunny boobs
People liked hoh because the game was still enjoyable to play in sb, you could even still find parties for it at the beginning of shb, meanwhile orthos died during the same patch
>Lose 30% of your playerbase.

>wtf people who only played because they hated current WoW went back to WoW
Never played wow, I don't play western games
everyone i know who joined the "muh activision sex scandals, abandon ship" exodus hate current WoW, discovered FFXIV is worse, and simply quit MMOs entirely
>Lose 30% of your playerbase

>people who only play a game for the story unsubscribe because the story is drip fed every few months
no... way...
>He doesn't know how luckybancho works.
If someone is counted as inactive in the census it means they haven't played the most recent major patch at all.
>keep paying $15 a month get a little bit of patch story every few months after base expansion
>or resubscribe right before new expansion releases and get the entire patch story without having to wait
no... way... dead game...
>It's actually good that people stop playing because the game has no content
lol
>unsubscribe because no content
>resubscribe when content releases
>this is worse than continuing to sub despite whining that there's no content
Unless you want to raid every savage tier in the expansion and clear it while also gearing all your favorite jobs, or farm the latest ultimate, or whatever the frick, there is no reason to stay subbed between patches. The only person it's "bad" for is SE since they're not taking your money, and if they're not giving you any content, why are you mad that people aren't giving them more money?
It'd be nice to have one thread without all the same arguments and repeated posts
It'd also be nice to have a game without all the same content patches and repeated dumbing down
yoshi p is too busy making final flop shitsteen dlc, 14 has been abandoned
then god damn play something else
NOOOOOOOO THEN HE WILL BE A STAT TO SAY GAME DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED
I do. I would like to play FFXIV again though, if only the game would give me a reason too
wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills first
I'm currently constipated
are we losing to wow again?
According to twitch we are losing to classic wow. Grim.
delicious tummy
why do people keep comparing world of warcraft - an actual, massively multiplayer online, and most importantly, an ACTUAL GAME - to this VN with a second-life-ish ERP chatroom postgame? it doesn't even have a fricking seamless world.

i don't want to waste the hundreds of hours of my life i've sunk into grinding pixels
>i don't want to waste the hundreds of hours of my life i've sunk into grinding pixels
You can say this about virtually any video game
Nta but in any other game you have a good time and a good story (with a conclussion) as a reward. Here....
you are legitimately moronic to think you can compare the time invested required by MMOs to literally any other genre of game. when the frick was the last time you played a single player game for hundreds of hours?
>when the frick was the last time you played a single player game for hundreds of hours?
Zoomer literally never even heard about Oblivion or Skyrim LMAO. Frick I put 300 hours into Witcher 3 alone
I probably have over 200 hours in xcom 2
>when the frick was the last time you played a single player game for hundreds of hours?
People are still playing Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3/NV/4, Witcher 3, Mount and Blade Warband/Bannerlord, Civilisation and many other single-player games to this day.
Not comparable. In those games you frequently ditch a character/save to start over with new mods or playstyles over and over. It's the MMO equivalent of making an alt.
>Not comparable
>Makes a comparison at the end
?
they dont even play the game
its just a discord raid that happens any time there's an xiv thread
they always say the same things and post the same pictures over and over
their life is meaningless
>fftroony complaining about discord raids
the irony
You need WoW threads to be up in the first place for them to be raided by any Discords.
example right here
they cant help themselves
this is all that gives their life meaning
you do it for free
example right here
they cant help themselves
this is all that gives their life meaning
>it's le discord raid
the final cope of every insane gay on this website who can't handle disagreement
You ever notice when you're right they start getting uppity?
yeah
they usually say the same things in response over and over again too
or maybe we're paying costumers who deserve a game to have basic dev support from square and complaining is our only way to effect change
>we're paying costumers who deserve
If you don't like a product you stop paying moron, instead of giving them more money and just complaining. What kind of logic is that lmao
but I did like the project before square abandoned it for 16, I want to like 14 again
>Log in
>Do random content with FC members
>Then go do tribals and crafting
>have more fun doing those than the combat content
Comfy.
noooo you have to RAID. RAID!!!!!! If it isn't raiding it's not content.
No one says that beside insane trannies like you
I'd love to raid too, i just don't have time or patience to find a group.
So I'll just make my fun off of making money off of those players, helping future newbies in my fc out, and eventually getting a bigger house that I can make most of the stuff to decorate it.
Nanamo and Feo Ul are the best characters in the game and my biggest wish before they kill the island updates is inviting npcs to visit.
And a Titania mount
>Nanamo and Feo Ul
How is it possible to be so wrong and so right at the same time? What is this strange confluence of shit and great taste?
Because it's actually fantastic taste because they are, in fact, the best girls.
How come it's impossible for any girl to be better than Feo Ul?
That's a child
she cute
>girl
>Log in
>Entire fc and friendlist is offline
>Log out
Reminder that the only reason why 100% of the players aren't unsubbed at the moment is because of the dogshit housing thing with inactivity.
True. Sometimes i wish my house wasnt there...
You guys are paying $12 rent for a virtual house.
200+ hours of cutscene watching has a way of brainmashing you into getting way too invested into the game.
i was mazed in that for a while too, ngl
Sure is the reason I'm not
>It's just a house lolmeoew
No, it is a plot 11 lavender beds, I refuse to let it go to a shb zoomer, or worse
this is the reason i don't have a house. why the frick would i be permanently subscribed when the game is worth one, maybe two months of subscribing a year?
some people i know only subscribe once an expansion.

People blaming 16 for 14's lack of content are moronic. Their focus on the graphical update is the real reason. 16 sucks though.
>the programmers making content are the artists making art assets
moron
What do designers have to do with graphics anon?
Bullshit. The Dev team has been releasing zero content for 2+ years now and have had excuses at every corner. First it was Covid, then it was XVI, now its the graphics update.
The lack of content wouldn't have happened if players unsubbed during the covid drought like they were supposed to.
the drop off in 14's upkeep directly correlates with 16 development
>Graphical update
>its just reshade
holy frick femra players are moronic coombrain mazed morons

Everyone I don't like is a discord raid?
16 sucked too. No stats to edit. No equipment. Dungeons were basically just FF14 dungeons with trash and arenas. You could cast fire on fire monsters and it would damage them.
CBU3 just fricking sucks and Yoshi P is a hack
never should've moved cbu3 off 14, that was their lane
t b h, if not for modding I would have quit a long time ago
I'm not gonna lie
Dawntrail is looking like a Dragonflight tier filler arc and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
So which universe-ending threat should be Dawntrail's endboss and story?
Zeromus 2
My guess is its gonna be FFX inspired and they are gonna use Sin.
vegnagun
Why would they do that without making Blitzball a new job?
blitzballer is the new judge for job begging
What do you mean? Judge is still coming. R-Right?
Wow, the palette cleansing expansion after a build up to an almost universe cleansing cataclysm is going to be filler like?
Give this man a medal for the most moronicly obvious prediction.
We're going to fight another universe ending threat in Dawntrail regardless just like how our little adventure began and ended with 6.1 and we're now fighting to save the world yet again.
The only difference will be that you won't give a frick about any of these Not!Mexicans you met 5 minutes ago and it will all be localized entirely in a place you have no emotional attachment to unlike Eorzea.
So it'll be like how none of us gave a homosexual's AIDS-ridden ass about the not-Eorzea areas and people in Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and Endwalker?
The difference here is that Ishgard, Ala Mhigger and Othard were frequently mentioned in the story and characters from those places showed up in the MSQ. Your connection with those locations you never went were through Haurchefant, Raubahn/Lyse and Yugiri. By them you began to know those places by proxy.
Then we have the New World, whose only existence is through non voiced BLU filler quests and has no relevancy whatsoever even during the greatest apocalypse the world has seen.
I'm kind of hoping Dawntrail does poorly to kick them in the ass.
Hey, maybe it will. Then all Final Fantasy will have is Remake.
did Ganker complain about la hee being Black person music.
t. didn't get into xiv till this summer
>La hee being Black person music
What the frick are you on about
it sounds like jungle music
I have music turned off since stormblood
why'd you leave it on so long, there was no good music before stormblood either
I used to think zepla was the biggest se wienersucker, but ew changed my mind
is it because she started dumping on midwalker? don't know much about her other than that she used to stream ff14 but does genshin or something now
Ever since Asmon streamed XIV she did a complete 180 in personality it's kinda funny
WoL writing and story has backed them into a corner. Not a single monster they make now in future expansions is going to feel threatening after travelling to the literal edge of the universe to fight death.
imagine the seethe if they pulled the kungfu grandpa again
Thoughts on Lucy Pyre?
Unfunny fujoshit
irrelevant shut the frick up about streamers that just leech off of xiv
god this game has been shit since asmongold touched it and everyone knows it
I can't get the body mods I want to use to work together so every time I log in I see everything is wrong which makes me immediately log out and play something else
Been going on for some five weeks, I tried again today but I get so bombarded with dms on discord I couldn't get enough focus to make any sort of progress, so after three hours today (two of which I spent in silence) I had to log out and forget about it again
I really wish I knew someone who could help, I know it can be done but the number of mods needed just to make it work is so complicated it's such a tangled mess
how about some sexy buns before archive?
Fumbled the story that the expansions were building up to and didn't give the zodiark v hydaelyn the gravitas it deserved. Garlemald being a nothing burger was a subversion of expectations I didn't need and the final days being tied to a last minute monster of the week villain in meteia is the pinnacle of bad Japanese storytelling. Trying to retroactively tie her to previous lore was a joke.
Zodiark? Nah. Le ebin bird kid 🙂
W-Westwolves...?
that meme died when dawn turd got announced.
I will screenshot your character's adventure plate and fap to it later.
They got cold feet on the original plan to follow up Shadowbringers with a Garlemald Expac and then The Final Days Expac after, due to wanting to keep up the momentum from the WoW Refuge Boom.
This caused them to blow their load in 6.0 and the combo of the graphics update & 16 meant that the creative and technical energy for content was anemic.
I imagine a world were we did get a full Garlemald expac, 16 does its thing, and the graphics update coincides with The Final Days expac and since they had at the very least the Lunar Primals to fall back on we could of gotten a solid flow of content.
>They got cold feet on the original plan to follow up Shadowbringers with a Garlemald Expac and then The Final Days Expac after, due to wanting to keep up the momentum from the WoW Refuge Boom.
>This caused them to blow their load in 6.0 and the combo of the graphics update & 16 meant that the creative and technical energy for content was anemic.
They realized no one cared about Garlemald anymore after they ruined their lore with ancient garbage
they garleans are just ice chimps, judging how they currently are. they really made people turn against the empire
we wuz gulgans
The Garleans actually used to be interesting until late SB
>They were literally the puppets of the ascians!
Immediately stopped caring
DAWNFAIL....
please, stick with dawn turd for shitposting.
after heavenslop, shartblood, and cringebringers I don't know why people thought the new expansion would be any different
Anyone here know if you can you level BLU with beast tribe quests?
