The moment the gods were just humans I checked out. I’m not going to go into the whole robot in space lore.
Gods are creations of men, made when we were young, weak, and in need of explanations for everything around us. After we've grown up and learned about existence and ourselves, we no longer need them.
>After we've grown up and learned about existence and ourselves, we no longer need them

What.
Your god created them, you should have a word with him about it.

WoW was a fairly decent setting carried by presentation and atmosphere. The story itself was fairly mediocre, but up until BFA there was still tons of background lore which was left intact to be explored. WoW was about being inside a world and following the story while developibg your own up until the original writers left and the new ones shit the bed. Even if the story sucks, the setting is, for the most part, still there to be enjoyed.
In XIV, the story is put at the forefront. You're the main hero with your party of Scions tagging along. The world itself is developed, and there are things to explore, but those are secondary to the story and main party. There used to be a fairly decent ratio of these two parts of XIV's story, but Shadowbringers broke that and pushed things massively in favor of the main party, messing up side content and setting to cater to it. Whereas before things were done either to explore the setting or solve an individual problem, now everything has to be about the Scions. The world was ground and narrowed down to specifically encompass a single set of characters and provide cameos for others who used to be more important, all while following the same overarching villains and their lasting effects.
Frick Shadowbringers, and to a lesser extent frick Endwalker.
Literally the exact opposite. Wow is dead precisely because sneedolands and Dragonflight killed the setting.
Anon, I specifically said "up until BFA".
I fricking love this game bros. The future is bright.

Is the janny wrong? What is the point of these threads when /vg/ exists?
>b b but nobody in /vg/ talks about the game
4stats.io says that /xivg/ is at 2 posts per minute
What prevents you from having these threads over on /vg/?
Exactly, what's the point of ANY thread on Ganker when the game/franchise has its own thread on /vg? Street Fighter, Tekken, Mario, Sonic, The Last Of Us, Final Fantasy, Balder's Gate 3, etc etc, should not be allowed to be posted on Ganker. Only games and franchises without /vg/ threads are allowed here.
it's for the attentionprostitutes who get shooed away from /xivg/

What compels someone to do it without compensation?
Endwalker was the end. Why do we have to all pretend that the game has another 14 years left? Why can't we just move onto FFXVII Online or whatever?
On the one hand I hope they do make a new MMO with a new fresh story, modern engine, better netcode, using some of the lessons learned from XIV, and a bigger budget. On the other hand knowing SE it would be monkey pawed to shit with predatory mtx, battlepass, twitch integrations, ntfs even.
If they make a new online FF, I’d expect it to be more in the vein of a lobby/hub based instanced content without a real overworld along the lines of PSO, with how things are trending overall in the market.
any live service moving foward will either follow gacha or sport, they are easy and cheap to make and monetize
the age of MMOs are over, too expensive to make and the reception is ever dwindling, zoomies simply don't care to justify it
the day wow and xiv hit maintenance mode, its the day these games will be gone, much like how RTS died with RA3
>The game is at it's highest peak in player count ever, why won't they scrap it already?!
Why'd they stop Seinfeld?
you either end something on a high note or you let it live long enough to become got s6-8
If it wasn't for the gigantic player spike during the end of shadowbringers this would've probably been the last expansion
The Ancient stuff was always just Kingdom Hearts fujoshit for the troons, homosexuals and aging fat women who play this game.
when they blew up garlemald off screen and wrapped up the story in the base game of the expansion i checked out
People still don't understand that they're engagement and attachment is all down to the story.
Every other element is garnishing. When you don't have a central purpose, the other content falls to the side in your mind.
There's no intrigue after Endwalker, and Endwalker built nothing up. Everything was wrapped up that point, whether well done or not.
>There's no intrigue after Endwalker
damn
you said it perfectly, to the point when even a fanboy can understand, its exactly this that is missing from xiv as a whole
everything is either a tear jerker scene or a stale reddit meme scene, there is no passion anymore, everything is just one straight line ahead
The quality of the content is pretty much the same. It's no different from the late 3.X patches.
But again, there's no underlying intrigue.
Ask the players here what they're looking forward to in the story currently.
Learning what the political race in Tural is about, what we're being hired to do there, what are the Scions supposedly gonna fight over, why Emet-Selch thought the Golden City was important to see and also whether I'll get to see Y'shtola and Alisaie in bikinis.
On the longer term, what's going on in the remaining shards since if nothing was happening there then obviously they wouldn't have brought attention to it, and if we'll get to see more alien civilizations and possibly go save G'raha's timeline.
Oh and I also wonder if they'll ever have conflict in the Alliance territories again. We left that shit a bit too clean of struggly, honestly, wouldn't be surprised if at some point one of the leaders gets replaced by someone who doesn't play nice.
the story never deals with actual political issues like the syndicate in uldah, the elementals and fanatics in gridania or the pirates in limsa
all we get is a blanket affirmation that the syndicate will endorse the alliance, that merlwyb prohibits piracy and that gridania never did nothing wrong, frick the cat poachers who got banned
ishgard got a bit moronic with their perfectly on the rails change from religious oligarchy
and mhigo never even had any story added after they became a republic
the devs moved out of this because loud and moronic players cry that politics is boring, and instead opted for giving shit that lone fat ladies in their 30s can cry over and milk reactions online
I doubt they will ever go back to these issues that still very much exist simply because the devs are listening to the worst subset of players
also expect tural politics to be absolutely irrelevant by the time we reach half the xpac
For me, if Ouroboros is the next big bad. The world serpent.
>The quality of the content is pretty much the same
no it isn't, you know this, I know this, everyone know this
no one is moronic enough to say that shb or ew had the same amount of good content as SB, when ew is this barebones and with the story being unsatisfying in so many places
3.x at least had the underlying hope that things might actually improve in terms of mechanics and content (and some things actually have improved compared to ARR). By now, it's abundantly clear that SE is either unable or unwilling to improve the gameplay structure in any way and the only option for "improving" mechanics is removing them from the game entirely.
>Ask the players here what they're looking forward to in the story currently.
Nothing I completely checked out of the main story after ShB. I do enjoy the Hildibrand slapstick though.
>Ask the players here what they're looking forward to in the story currently.
Tural politics
Krile stuff
Anything corsair/pirate/nautical
Hopefully not finding ancient ruins/azem stuff/saving the universe (I'm coping)
So what you're crying about is that we're no longer still sucking off all of the old content, dragging it out to fill space and time in the new expansions, and because of that you think there's absolutely nothing that can ever be done without the old material.
There’s entire eras have little to no context and homies really be like there can be no more lore. For fricks sake we know Jack shit about the people and societies that existed during the birth of magic and the first native primals on the source (it’s Sin though, calling it)

>*gasp* AND YOU EVEN LIKE THEM?!?!
I told everyone Day 1 that Endwalker's story flopped because they went for the meta narrative feelgood route of, "We defeated Covid 19 together. Did you enjoy your 10 years playing FFXIV adventurer?"
Endwalker's ending is not the actual ending of XIV. The actual ending is you opposing both Zodiark and Hydaelyn and merging the shards, a meta-narrative element of the player letting go of the game.
But everyone got fooled by the emotions. The Urianger crying, the Emet showing up, the fish getting Covid 19.
>The actual ending is [schizo headcanon]
Well what's their ending? Blue bird out of nowhere and edge of the universe in a plane.
It's just nonsense, it doesn't mean anything.
Blue bird was set up way back in Shadowbringers Amaurot as a nightmarish entity deep inside the earth and causes the rules of reality to break, and she was even more powerful than the ancients so that makes her a logical end-game boss. If the shards were merged like you said, it would cause multiple world-ending genocides to occur, when the whole plot of Shadowbringers was “we should not allow world-ending genocides to occur” so I guess your head anon plot would work if the writers decided to unilaterally abandon all the previously set up themes of the story
>The actual ending is you opposing both Zodiark and Hydaelyn and merging the shards, a meta-narrative element of the player letting go of the game.
I dont like EW story, but i think you're a pretentious reddit c**t who think youtuber essayist opinions matter or are good because meta this meta this is all they can talk
take your meta shit and shove it
>take your meta shit and shove it
No because they compromised the story to sell you a story about how Covid was hard but we got through it together.
There's nothing smart in the second half of Endwalker. The Empire level, the moon and Zodiark are phenomenal, genuinely the best part of the entire game, but after that it's gone.
India has no narrative weight, it misuses the final days. I actually don't even remember the rest of the middle of the story about Sharlayan and whatever else.
your post is irrelevant and makes no sense
iam not arguing over their moronic story overs yours
iam simply saying that your suggestion is as moronic as theirs
>Point out how they compromised their own story to get rid of narrative weight so that the player can feel good about themselves and the world
>your post is irrelevant and makes no sense
Cool.
yse, you imbecile, it is irrelevant because i did not ask you about these anywhere, nor did i disagree with your initial posts which suggests this
do you understand how dialetics work?
if i don't disagree with your point, if you explain it deeper, it is absolutely USELESS, because there isn't an argument to be had.
your meta suggestion is still shit.
>Don't analyse the story because I didn't ask anyone to analyse the story but I reply to people but don't talk about the thing I replied to you about or anyone else
This homie for sure sits in front of the marketboard for hours doing nothing.
you really don't understand what irrelevant means do you zoomie?

Damn anon, you must be some kind of genious of writing. How come you're in Ganker and not writing subversive indie games?
>Please keep making this game please keep making 10/10 story moments just keep dragging everything out please I'll pay for another 20 years
None of the story elements about the shards are answered in Endwalker. There's no point about what happens when a shard goes, what happens if they would eventually all go, who is holding it apart now that Hydaelyn is gone, what Zodiark was even doing, how Venat managed it all in the first place, where new souls come from, what the planet looks like from outside this barrier, what happens to the sundered souls.
Whatever. The replies are always "lol don't skip cutscenes"-tier shit anyway.
>There's no point about what happens when a shard goes, what happens if they would eventually all go, who is holding it apart now that Hydaelyn is gone, what Zodiark was even doing, how Venat managed it all in the first place, where new souls come from, what happens to the sundered souls.
Yeah, because all of that was addressed in ShB? Do you need the game to repeat plot points at you to remember them?
>, what the planet looks like from outside this barrier,
What does it matter? Like a fricking planet.
>The replies are always "lol don't skip cutscenes"-tier shit anyway.
Sheesh, I wonder why you always get told to not skip cutscenes when you ask about a bunch of stuff that's been explained.
>Yeah, because all of that was addressed in ShB?
Frick me not this shit again.
How did Venat split the planet up? How did they put Zodiark on the moon?
Yeah, that's what I fricking thought.
>B-But the mural in the Shadowbringers dungeon
Shut the frick up.
Why are you here trying to shitpost a game you’ve never played it’s always more effective to actually know what you’re talking about. Free trial goes to stormblood
>How did Venat split the planet up?
By becoming a primal created with the express intent to sunder the planet.
>How did they put Zodiark on the moon?
Anon, they have fricking spaceships. The loporrits built a giant one using Ancient technology.
Stop skipping cutscenes. Stop crying when people tell you to stop skipping cutscenes. You are blatantly skipping cutscenes. Everyone can tell, that's why you're getting told not to over and over.
>By becoming a primal created with the express intent to sunder the planet
wowwhatacoolexplanationthankyou.
>Anon, they have fricking spaceships
So they put Zodiark on the fricking truck, and then put him in a spaceship.
>wowwhatacoolexplanationthankyou.
You're welcome, maybe if you pay attention to the game next time you won't need it.
>So they put Zodiark on the fricking truck, and then put him in a spaceship.
Maybe, how would you move things from earth to the moon?
>Just pay attention to the game bro. I paid no attention and I love it, look how I turned out
Name one criticism of Endwalker. Name one.
That's what I thought.
Zero really kinda sucked. Better towards the end but goddamn what a bad start.
The pacing was weird and we needed more time seeing how the final days effected the whole world.

EW blasphemies are a fricking joke, the final days is a fricking joke
The final days on amaurot was only as bad as it was because their latent creation magic went wild. It’s actually helpful sundered shitters aren’t like the ancients
Yeah, this is the only good argument ive ever heard on how it was such a weak fart in EW
but this begs the question, how did meteion nuked whole worlds with this bullshit? its clearly stated that etheris is one of the planets with the highest concentration of aether, so its safe to assume that almost all alien civs were at least as thin as current mankind?
>but this begs the question, how did meteion nuked whole worlds with this bullshit?
With a lot of time. The Final Days still caused some real pain on Hydaelyn in just a few days, Meteion was at it for a long ass time.
this is my beef with it, it really kills the sense of urgency doesnt it?
Not really, because people are still dying right in front of your eyes and it's just gonna get worse and worse the longer they go on. It just means it's not an "earth is gonna explode in XX hours so if we don't evacuate before everyone dies at once" scenario. But it's still a sure doom.
The urgency in endwalker comes from the fact that once Zodiark was destroyed, he was no longer shielding The Source from Meteion's song
>how did meteion nuked whole worlds with this bullshit
Did she ? All the ayys we see in Ultima Thule were either already disappeared or disappearing when she met them. Yeah he plan was to kill the whole universe but it seems more like she was focusing on Aetheris.
yes she did, the shit we see in thule is the shit that made her go depressed, you see the name of the locations match the ones of her elpis cutscene
ostrakon this and that etc.
But that giant dead star on top of thule with the hemorrhoidic aether bubble dropping out of it are worlds that she destroyed, she mentions this before she cracks the dead star and gives it the hemorrhoid
I thought it was just a big ball of dynamis.
of aether, she is sucking the aether of all universe so life can't be born again
how this works with "blasphemies destroy all aether" i have no clue
But Lavoisier said :
>Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed.
Where do all that ether go ?
apparently, into the dead star, but yshtola mentions that its gone, so you have to stretch and assume that the aether vanishes from the universe and gets teleported into the sun via meteion
or that someone really messed up the EN translation and kinda forgot this very important piece of info which nullifies a lot of current contraditions in the nu lore
If anything it just shows how much more hardy and less susceptible sundered people are to despair.
Bullshit, there was show in game how easily people were overcame by despair and it was because WoL and scions showed up in a few cases that some people didn't completely despaired in a few scenes that entire setting was meant to be hopeless
holy shit i had a stroke
>wowwhatacoolexplanationthankyou.
let me preface this by saying I hate endwalker.
you are an absolute fricking moron, please frick off from the thread.
What sort of explanation would you want for an all powerful magic? You are pretty much asking why the game isn't giving you a lecture about how black mages form fireballs or white mages manipulate winds. Do you want the game to explain the exact fricking aether flow parameters someone induces while casting a spell?
If they're going to do a whole city about creation magic, yes, you have to show it off somehow. You have to build up how Venat did this, where she got the idea from, even if it's subtle.
That's good writing. What we got was just, there.
You are actually fricking moronic and are part of the reason why the story sucks dick now with overexplanations.
Venat getting 13 other anicents to sacrifice themselves and turning into a godlike primal therefore getting enough power to shatter the star is enough of an explanation, which we have been told time and time again.
Also just incase you want to be even more of a moron, yes we have been told the basics of primal summoning time and time again too, and yes it has also been set in stone that primals can be summoned onto (or into) people, first seen at shiva.
Writing 101 dictates that you show how they got to that point. Not literally, scene by scene, but by clever use of iteration and theming.
But everyone's fricking stupid here, they think it's better if you don't show something.
Just something as simple as Venat splitting a fruit in two and giving one to you while you notice one is slightly more rotten now.
That sort of a scene is exactly what you need, and that's the simplest of it.
>Just something as simple as Venat splitting a fruit in two and giving one to you while you notice one is slightly more rotten now.
>That sort of a scene is exactly what you need, and that's the simplest of it.
do you think the fanbase of this came would be able to understand enviromental story telling? dude, look at how much zoomies diss ER for not understanding the lore that is literally spread in items description or the symbolism of a god splitting between a male and a female
do you think these morons out of all morons in game would be able to follow metaphors and symbolisms?
i mean frick, look how they still sperg over a non argument on who was in the right or wrong in regards to how ancients dealt with their own despair.
subtlety have on place in modern games, autists are too dumb to get it
>do you think the fanbase of this came would be able to understand enviromental story telling?
XIV deserves it, even if the playerbase doesn't.
this game had it, until yoshi started to listen to redditors
remember those huge pillars of corrupted aether in ARR zones which were later explained to be baha's essence of when he went boom.
or the house of the crooked coin in sb, until it was just an allagan construct.
then starting at shb, these things vanished, nothing more than ruins in a map, no nooks and crannies anymore
>If they're going to do a whole city about creation magic, yes, you have to show it off somehow.
you had an entire region made to show how creation magic work, how the philosophy behind it work and why they do it
>You have to build up how Venat did this
by becoming a primal, this shit was in the game since level 15 with ifrit, with a lot of magic and a lot of will
>where she got the idea from, even if it's subtle.
you had an entire cutscene where she break down and decides to become a primal to prepare humanity for endsong
just play the fricking game
Stop replying to bots
I want Venat's mentality and I want it contrasted with the player's.
Show what she thinks about creation magic, show how the player reacts, how she thought up the idea to split the worlds.
XIV did an Old Testament on us.
>And then Venat split the world
That's the extent of Endwalker. And the actual cutscene for it is even weirder. She's like in the town and just does it on a whim?
the cutscenes literally spell it out, I'll just pretend you're a shitposter and not someone with learning disabilities
You've got a problem if someone like me, some idiot that has been playing for 10 years and thinks XIV is genuine 3x3 material, has trouble with Endwalker's finer story points.
You are an absolute fricking moron holy frick. What do you think the whole you shall walk scene in amaurot with venat supposed to illustrate, did you really fricking took it as a one for one retelling of events or something? It was your shitty allegory scene you wanted so fricking much, with venat slowly strolling through untold pain and suffering she caused getting repeatedly beaten down by rejoinings, what else do you even want?
If there's no context though her to set it up and there's no contrast against the player with her ideals, then it doesn't matter.
>wowwhatacoolexplanationthankyou
Literally what the frick more do you want. He answered the question succinctly. We know what Primals can do, we have known for-fricking ever that some Primals are formed unconventionally and we know even a single Ancient like Emet can bring homies back from the dead. A whole team of them easily have the power to perform the miracles you're confused about.
Hydaelyn was a Primal created from Venat specifically to have the power to seal Zodiark and split Etheirys into the source and its reflections.
So why didn't they show it
>You expect them to show everything and-
Yes. I expect you to show the fricking planet Gods actually doing a thing and understanding what the frick they were even doing.
Emet literally had a power point presentation on what happened lmao
I want to SEE it I want to seeeeeee it you fricking idiot I want the big 20 second cutscene like Xenoblade where the sword giants clash or something you fricking banana
>we need more echo flashbacks
No thanks. Really Black person
>nooo you gotta show these two cosmic being fight like my
homie stop being a babies. Its a fantastical story happens eons ago told by Emet.
Were not suppose to witness it, were suppose to agasp at its sheer scale and absurdity.
Them showing the fight, the actual fight, would cheapen it out because it'll never liven up to our imagination.
Also at that point, were still wondering if its even real.
>They can't show this stuff this is absurd
>Now get in the spaceship that flies to the edge of the known universe to fight a bird
>one happened thousands and thousands of years ago
>the other is in the present
at this point I don't think there is a deity of any kind in this setting, anything at all that can't be explained as a highly evolved society like ancients or the moronic ra la ancients.
which fricking sucks
we don't even have eldritch horror beasts anymore now that voidsent are just depressed goth kids
>at this point
That was true in ARR, why are you in this thread if you haven’t played the game
anon, ARR never retconned the twelve, and the twelve lore always existed before you moronic shadowbaby wowBlack folk came aboard
there was always a difference between the twelve and primals, primals are literally named barbarian gods because its dennoted that they're not the real deal
it was only with EW that they made the twelve be just yet more moronic primal bullshit
the twelve in ARR literally ruled over the lifestream and dealt with the fate of souls between heavens and hell
but frick you, you reddit moronic atheist angry about your parents going to church
>people in the game that worship these gods say they're real despite having zero evidence
>that means they're definitely real because there's no way a character could be wrong or biased
>we don't even have eldritch horror beasts anymore now that voidsent are just depressed goth kids
And what the frick was the Void reveal? Some level 17 dungeon monsters hanging around?
>Sheesh, I wonder why you always get told to not skip cutscenes when you ask about a bunch of stuff that's been explained.
a bad explanation doesn't justify a shit story anon
case in point: the 12 are ancient primals and all the plot holes are explained with "we made this machine lemao"
To answer one of your questions, there is no "holding the shards apart". The sundering was like breaking a glass, with The Source being the most intact piece afterwards and the shards being the other pieces. There is no outside influence preventing the glass from reforming, it's just like that now. The rejoinings were taking a shard and gluing it back, but with the failure in thr 13th, even if they succeeded in all rejoinings, the glass would still have a hole in it.
The first was just for that though Anon
Who cares anyway because we had nothing to do with the shards instead we went to other planets because they wanted to do expansions on the shards.
What the frick does Planet-012bA have to do with our planet being destroyed? Oh nothing? Cool.
This is the most "I didn't pay attention through the story so now that we're in a different place I'm lost and confused and it's the game's fault" post of all so far.
It’s more like “I read a paragraph summary about the patch in discord”
>Wow this shard story is cool and it's all culminating with Zodiark
>Ahh whoops we need the other shards for future expansions
>I know how about this gay blue bird comes in? And like, it's gonna destroy the entire universe
??
bro what happened to the shards
Literally what do you mean what happened? They still exist
Yes but why make a fricking point with the story.
End it all, or rejoin it all.

Frick you.
Holy ESL brownoid

Why? How?

Why? How?
>Yes because the bird beamed it into their brains in the Shadowbringers dungeon
Why are you in this thread if you’ve never played the game?
>>end it all
>Why? How?
it all
>Why? How?
Exactly. The absolute irony of this post.
Can you answer the questions?
My point is that, no, I can't answer the questions and that's part of what makes Endwalker bad.
But I’m asking you to expand on your own fanfiction. You are the one who said they should end everything or rejoin everything, why is your fanfiction valid and you can’t answer it
If neither of us can explain what a rejoining would even entail, then how the frick was the story going to handle it?
It didn't. That's the point.
My fanfiction is, "Why didn't you actually take us through the other shards in that final dungeon while we witness that joining or whatever instead of some other planets?"
Nothing? We're going there sometime in the future, Y'shtola said it like a full dozen times.
You're both stupid. The shards had no bearing on the final story and you can't even recognise it.
>It was so good bro we're gonna go there in 8.4 anyway so don't worry
>The shards had no bearing on the final story
The shards have had bearing on the entire story from start to finish. The reason the world is like it is because of the ascians wanting to rejoin them. The reason the allagans are such a permeating layer of the lore is that the ascians used them to cause a rejoining. The reason the garleans exist at all and got to define so much of the story of the game is because they were gonna be used to cause another rejoining. We had a whole expansion dedicated to a shard, and just now had 5 more patches of the next expansion dedicated to another shard. The shards have a bearing on like 90% of the story of the fricking game.
Frick outta here back into whatever Discord you came from. You don't even play the game, you're clearly just talking about second hand information you got.
>The shards have had bearing on the entire story from start to finish
They ARE the story you absolute brick. This is genuinely the stupidest fricking post in this thread.
EVERYTHING major in the game is about the shard. EVERYTHING.
I really hope you both realize how fricking stupid this is. What are you even asking for?
You are replying to bots
you're one dumb mofo right?
the shards have no bearing, the MOTIVE of the ascians do
the shards are a lesser object in this scenario
A SHARD have no effect on the story
THE REASON WHY ascians do what they do, does.
if you repalce shards with lahabrea's stolen pizza you get the same result
>the shards have no bearing, the MOTIVE of the ascians do
Holy shit son. Leave the thread for your own sake.
For your future shitposting purposes because you clearly haven’t played the game the shards and the reflections were explicitly told to the player in Heavensward, again in the free trial
>overly hyped by the characters and evil final boss turns out to not be the final boss
yeah, it's a common jrpg trope, present in about 100% of every final fantasy ever made
>, what the planet looks like from outside this barrier
I always had that same question too. Like, what does it look like? Are the other shards just separate dimensions or neighboring planets? I assume the first.
I gotta admit i skipped a lot of cutscenes tho, the MSQ was very boring imo.
All those infos are in the game already. I mean the whole ShB expansion is about that, how the emo gay cat brings you and your companions into the FIrst. Anon come on...
So its just separate dimensions. Got it.
Btw, next time pay more attention at reading what you are replying. I spefically said i skipped a lot of the MSQ because i found it boring.
the shards are superimposed dimensions
this was explained way back, wayyyyy back
thing of light wave, each color is the same light but on a different frequence, if you pump light thru a prism you see the colors, but its light all the same.
Island Sanctuary is also the stupidest fricking content of them all.

Not to interrupt all the doomin' but I'm halfway through rank 18, how long till i get to 20 if I just do handicrafts/manual farming (I don't want to grind on the top of the mountain)
I told you homosexuals long ago this would happen. YoshiP the talentless hack of a Jap has cashed in on you suckers for buying in on his game. Globohomosexual homosexualry injected into everything with shitwalker, casualized homosexualry to the point where even wowhomosexuals would laugh at your meme game, typical godless japs destroying whatever was good with the game, a content desert where even the erpers are leaving.
You morons should've listened to your elders, you should've left when even the old FFXI players couldn't stand the typical bugmen tactics. Not even reddit can stand this game anymore and you Black folk still stick around. This game is a sinking ship, YoshiP has already used your money to make a shitty meme game and that already failed because that moronic asiatic can't make a proper game.
Let this be a fricking lesson to you, never trust Japs. There was a reason we nuked them twice after all. If any of you dumb fricks insist on staying, you will see the burning wreck get even worse into the next expansion and you'll have no one to blame but yourselves. Worse gameplay, even more dumbed down and casualized shit, even more pozzed and moronic story where even troons would get turned off by.
Mark my words, it may not be today or tomorrow but your shitty xiv is already on its way out, another soon to be forgotten footnote in the homosexualry of failed pozzed Jap slop games. Let it be a fricking lesson to never trust those asiatics ever again.
this whole scenario is the ultimate lesson in Just Shut The Frick Up™. when you talk as much as yoshida does pre and post release, airing your confidence and bravado in your direction, your worries and fear, your decisionmaking for making controversial choices in your next game amongst your fanbase... when you do all of this so often in public, you are setting yourself up to get dogged on hard if your game isn't a stratospheric success.
if a director employs the Just Shut The Frick Up™ strategy, then there isn't that much of a desire to see him suffer because you know nothing about his ideas or his standpoints and you cannot possibly (reasonably) oppose him because you know nothing about him. unfortunately yoshida has been employing a I Will Talk A Lot™ strategy to steer XIV into stardom with constant dev updates and mea culpas and down to earth serious talks with his fanbase. doing that for years works totally fine when it actively helps your game. in XVI's case, it just produces legions of opposition - because now you're not just talking to your fans, you're talking to the aggrieved fanboys who haven't seen their franchise put out something they like since XII (maybe). in this case, just shut the frick up. anything you say will be used against you. you will look like an idiot when baldur's gate 3 sells 10 million copies at record speed compared to your paltry 3 million and your detractors WILL be justified in pointing out your failure and their success EVEN THOUGH baldur's gate 3 is a completely different type of turn based game compared to old FF. even though that's true, even though FF will never play like bg3 even if it returns to turn based, it's still evidence. huge evidence. evidence yoshida made the wrong choice 7 years ago.
Found the mental illness.
You lost Barry, but thank you the free xiv thread.
Good morning sir!
There's a bunch of shard worlds to explore, there's plenty of room to do shit.
They already likely set up a future 13th story with the admittedly lackluster post-EW MSQ, so we'll likely be doing shit there at some point for a more long term expansion.
>There's a bunch of shard worlds to explore, there's plenty of room to do shit
No there's not. What are they gonna do, the Lava Shard? The Snow Shard?
>13th story
why is there even much of a story to the fricking void beyond being a fricked up place with a bunch of monsters, why is it again le ancients fricked it up and they were all sad people please cry about it. I would be interested in a 13th story if it were an irredeemable dimension that has no tie to the shards or the ancients.
"void xpac" and "shard xpac" gays are the worst, they don't understand why SHB worked, and think that being a side story in another world will reproduce the SHB effect, they are too dumb to realize why it would fail and would act surprised when people start calling the game stale.
the fact that the devs still suggest the shards in that moronic emet speech by the end of EW shows how they are also souless and attempting to appease to the least common denominator in this gay ass fanbase
the prop I give them is, making the void a meaningless 2nd tier story in patches, thus killing any hype a void xpac would had
imagine 7 zones of slightly different purple dead rocks
I need more pictures of slampig lalafell.
I agree that there is a lack of challenging content but i prefer the “scripted” fights (according to you) rather than the wow fights that look like children throwing colored snowballs to an adult while stacking here, spreading there, throwing debuffs in a specific location and thats it.
>All the e-celebs are gone
That's a good thing.
They'll be back for every fanfest and patch note and leak until 7.0, then churning out shitty opinions all through next expansion too. You'll never really be rid of them
I fricking wish they stayed gone, no idea why they think they’re important when we didn’t have them for 7 or 8 years. They should be happy they even get any views at all.
You're just salty

Le emo girl learns about friendship and nice feelings all over again in every patch, please clap
She makes no fricking sense especially because of how every other void being is clearly aware of all those nice feelings even while they are fully voided out unlike zero who is pretty much fully human at that point.
She is genuinely autistic.

There's nothing of value in these threads. Fricking crazies.
There really isnt. You can look up the archives and find the same back and forth going on in at least 20 threads
I am convinced these threads are mostly AI
Yeah, this shit reeks of AI

Question is who deployed the bots?
Yeah I’m done here this shit is AI
Look at this diarrhea, just random shit that makes no sense
Yea the thread is moving way to fast for this to be normal
I’m wondering who this game is meant for at this point. People keep saying it’s ok for it to not lack repeatable content because it’s a story game but the story is paced like shit, mostly delivered very lazily through dialogue boxes and lazy cutscenes with canned animations, and also just straight up bad since as of now. And you barely get any of it each patch.
shit eaters
XIV has always been crap. Never stopped it from selling.
Its so funny once you realize most of the posts here are automated
Just lol
Jesus Christ look at this shit
I don't pay attention to western XIV "content creators" because they and their viewers are all assimilated and will share the same opinion, but I checked in and saw that everyone is doomposting about XIV being the same content and cycle over and over again hoping for a change. Do they all realize that since ShB was such a hit and got so much buzz Square is nowhere near close to even considering changing the formula? Maybe after Dawntrail if it does bad enough but at this point they've guaranteed already cranked out the majority of the work for Dawntrail's creation and it's going to be exactly the same, it's too soon for them to hear any criticism and change anything.

I don't know which scenario is worse, that it really is bots and for some fricking reason someone is botting these threads with shitposts, or that there's genuinely people this fricking stupid playing the game.
There's no stakes in FFXIV anymore because like, we killed fricking god and saved the universe. We are the most powerful being in reality. The reason they made Dawntrail a beach arc is because they could not seriously attempt to escalate past Endwalker.
Pretty much every piece of lore has been explained, even the Twelve are gone now. The void arc was so bad and rehashed, with some serious power of friendshit vibes. The lore from here on out means nothing because we already escalated above and beyond reason. There's a reason shit like Endwalker, things on that scale are at the end of a show/game/series usually.
The worst part is how the Scions are still around. I was praying the disbandment meant we would be getting new characters to follow in 7.0. Like, use the patch quests to wean the scions off and slowly introduce a new cast of characters. Doesn't fix us being OP but at least we can experience new stories. The Scions arcs are complete. Only Yshtola (who wants to frick hrothdaddy) and Krile (who hasn't done anything really) still need to wrap up. But no, we need a scene of Graha eating sloppy taco because otherwise the fangirls won't buy.
I get we can't retire the WOL because it's an MMO, but their prescence is also a major issue as there's just no stakes when theyre involved.
>I was praying the disbandment meant we would be getting new characters

"Ancients" typically refers to the ancient Amaurotine civilization that once existed on the Source before being destroyed during a catastrophic event known as the Final Days. The Ancients are a significant part of the game's lore and story, as well as the subject of the Eden raid series. The player character is also revealed to have a connection to the Ancients, as they are able to communicate with their memories and echoes through a special ability known as the Echo.

Like every shitpost is some slop containing a variation of these words
The mystique of the setting has been completely dismantled as a result of Endwalker. With the dissolution of the Twelve it’s clear Yoshi P has decided to close the narrative. They retconned the last true deities of the setting to fit the fedora tipper world view of le there are no le gods. Dawn trail is going to be more ancientshit, there is no mystique after the void flopped.
Shit is just slop
as if no player could ever say such an obvious issue with the game is an issue right?

it's funny how wow started to have a slow decline into shit for about ten years until it culminated into shadowlands and then you have XIV who came crashing down to the wow depths in just a single expansion.

Venat assisted Emperor Solus zos Galvus in his conquest of the continent of Ilsabard, however, after witnessing the destruction of civilizations, Venat became disillusioned with their actions. Venat later forms an alliance with the Warrior of Light to defeat the Ascians and bring peace to the realm. Venat is notable for their role in introducing the concept of Hydaelyn, the deity worshipped by many inhabitants of Eorzea.

Zodiark is believed to have been summoned by the ancient Allagans and is said to have played a major role in the creation of the world of Hydaelyn. In the game's storyline, Zodiark has been sealed away for centuries, but his presence continues to loom over the world, as some seek to unleash his power while others aim to prevent his revival.

Has this moron never played a Japanese game before? Does he have zero understanding of the anti-religious and specifically anti-buddhist rhetoric prevalent in modern Japanese entertainment?

That is a worldly perspective that doesn’t contradict anything I have said, sounds like you agree with me
You're the one talking about embracing degeneracy and that laws are unnatural. Why are you attempting to peddle back now?
>embracing degeneracy
All I’ve done is call out degenerates, nothing I have said has changed. I do not think you know at all what you are talking about. Buddhism and Christianity are deeply subversive and degenerate ideologies.

You're a moronic zoomer attempting theology whilst knowing nothing about what you're talking about.
Hating religion when they made some of the most important contributions to mankind
Whole lot of projection and arguing with a strawman, as expected of a degenerate.

Degenerate behavior from a degenerate.
Care to point out where I said
>evil people dont exist at all
>you shouldn't better yourself, religion telling you that evil exists in us all and that we should better ourselves is supervise
But of course you can’t, because that’s a gay strawman you made up, to blatantly ignore the real words I typed in front of you, not unlike a degenerate religion. Christianity and Buddhism, which are not concerned with the world we inhabit, are subversive and degenerate. That’s that. Funnily enough, I surmise that you agree with me on everything else. Down to the role of man and nature, to bettering oneself, etc. Why do you excuse degeneracy?
>a religion that tells you the world you inhabit is a result of sin
>Is inherently subversive and degenerate, an affront to the natural world.
literally
Why are you such a lying homosexual?

Educate yourself a bit on shintoism, buddhism, philosophers like Keiji Nishitani and how those relate to many of the stories and themes seen in manga, anime and vidya then come back once you have something of substance to contribute.

You do yourself a disservice if you consume Japanese media thru the prism of a western perspective.
you do yourself a bigger disservice if you consume japanese media and don't know how to speak japanese. I'm not doing that either. It's not that important.
You watched a 20 minute youtube video about some gay shit and now you feel really cool about watching your cartoons instead of like a man child. Very good. Big pat on the back.

Why can't people stop seething about this character to this very day?
they hate women
it's the same as hating lalas
Because turns out she's just our predecessor and not some kind of godly untouchable figure
I'll explain it.
It's because you carry on her ideas without her being a mentor figure. She's essentially just a Goddess, so there's nothing to gleam for her.
Your ideas are aligned with hers because the prelude theme plays when you speak to her. That's it.
Wrong, they're master-race goose-step larpers who projected their superiority complexes on to the Ancients (originally they did this to Garlemald, hence why almost all Trancers are Garlean-stans). You can pay close attention to their choices of wording, they try to be coy about it but they frequently let it slip: they view the Ancients as racially and culturally superior and unironically like their dystopian utopia and view the Sundered as subhuman who should have all voluntarilly or involuntarily died to give the Ancients back their world.
They hate Venat not because she's a woman but because they see her as a race traitor who threw away their "perfect" society for the sake of a bunch of subhuman monkeys. No I'm not making this up, I should compile a bunch of their posts I've saved like pic-related, they just fricking like the idea of a "superior" race or culture in a fantasy setting that they can self-insert into and project their own superiority-complexes onto and larp as le-heckin master race, and are angry that they were robbed of it originally with Garlemald being BTFO'd, and then in EW the Ancietns. That's it. That's all this is about.
Also most of them have far-right viewpoints, (even though many of them are homosexual, trannies, and fujo women), on twitter they're not even remotely subtle about it unlike the OF forums (because they'd be banned if they posted their true opinions).
Pic related is the a post by the guy (allegedly a biofem) who created the Zodiark Trance comic accidently spilling his(her). Enough said.
>Pic related is the a post by the guy (allegedly a biofem) who created the Zodiark Trance comic accidently spilling his(her) spaghetti and going mask off*. Enough said.
Fixed.
>Also most of them have far-right viewpoints,
Why do we hate the trancers again? they seem pretty based.
>they try to be coy about it but they frequently let it slip: they view the Ancients as racially and culturally superior and unironically like their dystopian utopia and view the Sundered as subhuman who should have all voluntarilly or involuntarily died to give the Ancients back their world.
What i'm not coy about it at all, what kind of fricking moron wants to live in pain and illness surrounded by fricking morons?
I hate venat for forcing that choice on everyone and yes
> threw away their "perfect" society for the sake of a bunch of subhuman monkeys
This, its not perfect but it still stands miles upon miles better then her world.
Additionally, most of them are barahomosexuals.
She directly calls out the escapist haze 99% of all people who play video games and really all of society are in. You can't go back and there was always pain is not something most people can swallow easily.
>post the same and a minute apart
He isn’t even trying to hide it now
You remember how Discord killed Skype? Yeah I wish that'd happen to Ganker. Though preferably without furry pedophiles being in charge of the site. This shit's a corpse with schizophrenic maggots. I actually miss the forum days when clowning on schizos was a celebration for everyone else.
This is honestly the worst it’s ever been lately, you can’t even discuss any video game lately without their being at least one schizo in the thread
>schizo
People that disagree with you are not schizos you fricking moron
ok schizo
Nothing wrong with disagreeing but actively going into threads for a video game you hate is pretty fricking schizo
>nothing wrong with disagreeing but I demand there be no wrongspeak in threads about games I like
Get a hobby anonymous
Theres at least one schizo in all of these threads and deny that is to be a lying homosexual.
The avatar lala's in the last thread were going on about some grand conspiracy of targeted harassment from the wow community and discord because they were shitting the place up with porno and everyone told them to frick off.
>their being at least one schizo in the thread
I love how they're always about something too.
>Oh frick it's the guy who talks about Ace Combat again

I’m honestly surprised barry is still alive, I thought he would have died by now.
I left after EW. Nice to see so many disillusioned players in this thread though. My life has never been better since I quit btw, maybe consider it yourselves homosexuals.
Would people play ARR classic servers like boomers still play Vanilla WoW servers to this day?
maybe heavensward
No.
>like boomers still play Vanilla WoW servers
nobody plays vanilla wow
no, the bots dont count
classic is pretty much a bunch of bots farming accs and selling among themselves to inflate the prices in a cyclical scheme
kinda like stock market
No because the combat and jobs back then were atrocious to what we have now.
Frick no, 2.x was horrible in a lot of ways. Only people who never played the game or morons think that would work.
They'd probably play a 3.0 server though. Peak job mechanics.
I'd play some stormblood classic
Yea let me just flash mobs to death as pld again, I loved that. Abd don’t get me started on TP get punished for playing too good.
No because it was unironically shit
London or Tokyo? I'm guessing Tokyo because 6.5.5 would reveal the npc right after.
Teaser at London, full reveal at Tokyo. Same as Male Viera
When were male Veira "teased"? They just had a singular reveal no?
At the very end of the London fanfest they showed like a 10s clip of a male viera waking up. I remember cuz a bunch of fujo's ovaries exploded.
No they didn't, there was no "tease" for male viera. Just a flat announcement reveal.
It could go either way. Fran was teased via feet at the end of 4.5 part one, and then viera were fully revealed before part 2 when we then saw full Fran in that part.
But since both Fanfests happen before 6.5 part 2 it could really be at either one.
Frick how good was Sorror of Werlyt looking back on it.
is this a groomer party?
It's a damaged lonely person seeking social interaction
people talk too much in this game

All of these homies talk like this in hopes of making into a reddit post.
>NOOOOO WHY ARE PEOPLE SOCIALIZING IN MY MASSIVELY MULTIPLAYER ONLINE ROLE PLAYING GAME?!?!!??!

>venris
This is party chat in a random dungeon between people that play on different servers and will never meet again.
How dare be social in a genre that is supposed to be social. You would've loved Everquest where people sat around waiting for spawns or to recover mana/health. Instead of your let's aoe down the entire dungeon and pretend our groupmates are npcs for 15 min spurts. You actually had to be social with your group, other groups, and zone wide players to accomplish anything.
Don't care. Shut the frick up.

>Sharing in memes and socializing is bad
This shit's been part of MMOs since before you homosexuals were born. I genuinely wish your parents aborted you fricks, you're the reason casual conversation is fricking dead. Frick off back to your normie games or leave the hobby altogether if you feel like doing anyone a fricking favor today.
Regurgitating the same old tired responses ad nauseam isn't socializing and makes you just come across as a very dull person when your sense of humour seems to entirely consist of talking in references.
It's fricking boring.
What’s boring is irony poisoned, apathetic morons like you who don’t partake in socialization because it may be seen as cringe. Sorry, but the *holds up spork* days were better than what we have now
No, Anon. I just want to have genuine conversations, instead of feeling like I'm talking to an auto generated response form who thinks the height of humour is posting "it's the same picture" for the umpteenth time.
>I want to have a genuine conversation in the fricking middle of a boss fight where people type these short memes because you have a 10 second cutscene
Glad we can agree
and
isn't socializing at all and it's just insipid.
>saying dumb jokes during a movie isn’t socializing because you aren’t reciting your diary and latest essay on the state of world affairs in between gaps in the dialogue
Black person it’s a fight cutscene, what kind of histrionic argument is this exactly
>UUUUUGGHHH WHERE IS THE DISCUSSSION ABOUT LIFE WHILE MUSTADIO RELOADS HIS GUN
Are you unable to have a conversation in a fricking video game without regurgitating memes?
Fricking brainrotted moron over here.
>conversation
I’m helping you out here. Every instance you are complaining about is a literal 5-10 second window, a cutscene, almost all of them in a fight.
No it isn't, even the last dungeon has like an over 1 minute cutscene. You are a moron lmao.
The mustadio cutscene doesn’t exist? The innocence cutscene doesn’t exist?
>deflection
You know I'm right and that most of those examples are shit people spam in ARR MSQ roulettes.
The only reason people regurgitate is to try to fit in, to a bunch of people who really aren't their friends.
Anyway I'm going to actually play games now. You should lose weight and get real irl friends instead of defending random strangers on the internet. Or keep being the same kind of loser who finds 15 year old memes funny.
Like the rest of this community.
I say old memes because I think they're funny
imagine a brown haired lala with a blue laurel wreath
Keep typing paragraphs complaining people aren’t writing their doctorate thesis in between 5 second fight cutscenes

okay redditor, enjoy your shitty 20 year old "memes"
Lahabrea isn’t as bad as Nabriales. The banter gets stale in the former but at least it was idiot proof. Some fricktard always uses the LB on the boss instead of the scar causing a wipe. Always, and sometimes they keep doing it. It’s painful.
they turned the wrong ARR content into an instance, Steps of Faith should be the trial, Nabriales like all Asican shit should be relegated to instances.
be real to me anons, Ganker xiv threads are only bots nowadays right?
Bots would be less sad. It's pretty much just a freakshow we're watching take over any actual conversation we could have. Except unlike a good freakshow, it's like 1 or 2 people.
I refuse to believe that someone is this mind broken
I know we have our 2-3 schizos, not counting lala posters, but this here is just sad, like, full meltdown sad
I don't want to believe it either, friend. But I can't ignore the evidence. As desperate and sad as it is, it's true.
At the very least, use it as a showcase of how much worse your life could be, I guess.
It’s so easy to tell aswell, but still not as bad as the /gw2g/ bot that killed any thread that talked about gw2. Still mad it killed old /mmog/
no i don't think so, just the resident schizo and his friends upset.
this but unironically that should be life advice
yourself a bit on insert (religion here), (insert philosopher here), (insert stories here).
the ironic part is that the idiot you're replying too is telling people to educate themselves when he got called out for perceiving j rpg anti religion trope thru a monist world view.
come on bro, these have to be bots, they can't be actual humans
nah i know people who are that stupid. literally refuse to examine other cultures and want everything through a western lens.
We have examined other cultures and we have determined that it’s shite.
You can't articulate why its shit though, and thats why he's upset. Because otherwise you could have a nice debate, but instead you just say its shit.
No evidence, no discussion, you couldn't bring up how the caste system in japan fricked up several generations and has long lasting repercussions to this day.
Or how Buddhism seeks solace in oblivion whilst Christianity seeks salvation and eternal life..
I know I was just shitposting, I was the one who pointed out that FFX is a pro-Christian game accidentally (which everyone ignored and proceeded to talk about Gnosticism because they don’t know any better)
Christianity is a death cult

At least to me, XIV's story and atmosphere are now completly ruined. If this next expac at least took place in Meracydia I would have something to anticipate (maybe), but since it's the "New World", than it's simply over.
Add atmosphere to the bot post filter
>filter
Closing your eyes, and covering your ears, won't remove the problem that's right in front of you.
That’s what you do when you shit out bot posts, can’t even argue yourself
I like XIV but I agree with all of that.
, one of the most horrible things to happen to a person in this setting, thought to be incurable, was just cured in one expansion and is no longer an issue
Yeah, this was done horribly. They even reuse a similar thing in post-SB Scholar questline ending for Tonberries where the whole thing amounts to WoL saying "but have you tried X" which instantly fixes the whole curse.
They should've left tempering cure as a thing to be solved for EW, maybe even incorporated some more dynamis bullshit into it in a pivotal plot moment since it's the literal do anything "magic".
The cure for tempering was always going to happen in ShB. Once the method for soul and memory transference was devised that was always going to lead to the cure for tempering. It just looks dumber than it actually is as a solution because flying pigs are dumb.
The thing is it too, bozjans probably had a rudimentary treatment for tempering, what with their healers being able to lobotomize and remove aether connected to memories. If they were able to balance out the elemental aetheric imbalance that would have been a cure as well.
I don't think it can be said that tempering is cured in one expansion when they wanted a cure for tempering all the way back in 1.0, and it was an issue through 2.0 and 3.0.
It was an issue throughout the game yes, but the solution is given in one go rather than as a result of the characters' previous efforts or something that was foreshadowed. My memory regarding this is a bit hazy, but I recall it was something along the lines of Alisaie realizing "hey maybe tempering is a lot like the light cummification thing that happened on the First" and poof, we have a cure.
It’s spread out over 5.1-5.4
Most of that was just about mass producing the thing wasn't it? The cure itself was just dropped into the story.
No the mass producing was 5.4. 5.1-5.4 had all the beq lugg shit, you had to go to ayzs lla, have cid+Nero asspull his way into a computer, more beq lugg shit, then the matoya shit

Shut up Black person. So what if they think Venat is Satan, that adds spice to the story. Not everything has to be groupthink one perspective boring shit. TES has a similar deity called Lorkhan but their fanbase is allowed to have different opinions on if he was good or a shit, unlike you homosexuals.
This is why the world of XIV is so stale and lifeless.

I'm getting grey parse on Thaleia with my unmelded, not BiS gears. Is it my equipment getting me these parse or am I not being optimal with my rotations?
both but also
>parsing alliance
people do it though, why?
I'm positive you can get at least consistent blue parses in alliance raids with min ilvl if you're good at your rotation, definitely go beat up some dummies.
If you actually want to pad in alliance - use food and pots, build resources on trash packs, ideally wait between bosses to get your cooldowns back
And of course, get lucky with an alliance that clears with a good killtime and uses your raidbuffs well
Am I crazy for not caring about the overarching story?
I wasn't thinking about the Hydaelyn and Zodiark story going into HW or SB. This shit really didn't even start until post HW and didn't truly kick into gear until SHB.
The Ascians were just generic background guys for the majority of this game.
ShB is brilliant for making you care.
The story is definitely one of the main attractions for the game. Nobody is picking up FFXIV because "hey there's an island sanctuary unlocked 100+ hours in at level 90"
or "omg at level 70 there's an area where you lose exp when you die and you have to grind for hours to get an outdated weapon"
People care about story and endgame raids, there isn't much else for many players
>the committee of 100 of top pvpers is still gating the cheating addons

As much as people berated Feasties for win trading, it was at least reasonably feasible to hit top 100 on your own if you were persistent. Nowadays however, plugins are rampant.

hello anons, just a certain jp male lala here posting again. what do you stand for in this game? what do you believe? i believe about trying to have fun as much as i can and making acquaintances online as well. recently have not been playing as much, and the only savage i did during release weeks were eden tier 3 and panda tier 1, after that i dont have fun anymore. let us know what you're going about in game, anons.
I like pressing buttons and collecting things. I have exp bar autism and I refuse to play with other people. I only play to kill time and have no expectations whatsoever. I wouldn't mind friends to play with though
I like collecting minions and mounts and I wish the game made it more convenient to keep track. It's also sad to know that once I collect all the mounts I can get by playing, there's still some mounts that are impossible to get nowadays, namely all the PvP top 100 mounts and some event/collab exclusives. I wish everything was made available somehow
im still in the msq. i actually like pvp despite its flaws. i wish my fc was more active but there is only like 1-3 other people on at a time.

>jobs getting homogenized is le bad!!!
sometimes i wonder if you Black folk actually think about what you say or if you just regurgitate what everyone else says to feel like you're part of something
seriously, we had shit like old MCH who fit in NO comps at all and was awkward as shit to play, PLD who was literally "just tank harder lol" when it turns out that as long as you do mechanics it's impossible to wipe (thus making WAR the best tank because DRK was dogshit)
Seriously, the best case for "homogenization" I can think off the top of my head is the similarity of DRK and WAR, because even modern PLD doesn't play the same with its own casting phase. Only other one I can think of would be SGE and SCH. The magic DPS play differently, RDM does not have the same way to play as BLM or SMN and vice versa. The melee DPS are different with SAM's autistic 1-2-3 combo setup system, MNK's greased lightning paired with its own combo flows and RPR literally being "stand behind moron while rolling head on keyboard".
like what the frick do you actually want? go back to some classes having 240 timers instead of 180 and just never get used?
Are people seriously disputing the existence of bots when posts like these show up
>PLD doesn't play the same with its own casting phase
It's just ranged fell cleave burst, which doesn't matter anymore since the hitboxes are almost as big as the arena.
>old MCH who fit in NO comps
This is literally untrue. MCH were in every single group because of their utility and if played right could out-DPS melees
The only actually homogenized jobs are healers and that's only in the context of their dps tools, which is 85% of what a healer does these days and why i hate the role now.
>st damage
>dot
>aoe damage

Sage at least gets an extra dps tool, but it's still a simple press on cooldown thing.
Tanks are too
>Press the 60 second cooldown button
>Press the same button 5 times
>Wait until 60 second cooldown is back

Anon, mitigation has problems, but it's incredibly disengenous to put one off every minute or two buttons on the same level as healer dps.
The actual comparison, tank dps tools, are highly varied.
Shatter is trash
>tank dps tools, are highly varied
>1-2-3 combo until you get a charge of super attack

Good lord you're dumb. I didn't know pld only did 123

Frick off you egregious moron.

>I didn't know pld only did 123
>I didn't know gnb only did 123

every class you just described does EXACTLY what he's talking about
>gnb does 123 until he can rip and tear
>pld does 123 until he goes cast rotation
>drk does 123 until felling axe
saying healers are less varied then admitting it's literally only their DPS tools (which have never been great) is also just moronic and redundant, especially since we know that SE wants healers to be more focused around healing than just straight DPS
>saying healers are less varied then admitting it's literally only their DPS tools (which have never been great)
First off, i said straight out the gate it was their dps tools, so don't sit there acting like i made a big deal about it without specifying what i meant
Secondly, hello shadowbab.
You realize having 9 different attacks that deal damage isn't a tool, right? Just like having 6 buttons that reduce damage isn't a tool. The only tool in the game is cover and I don't know if it's still there.
Jobs used to have tools like mana shift and tp regen shit but even that got removed.

shame
1.0 died for a reason XIkeks
I know you're memeing but it died because SE really tried to kill it so people go to ffxiv
It died because it was a shit game.
Historical revisionism isn't gonna change that.
And it was a shit game because tanaka decided that a eq clone was acceptable in 2011
Sure
Yeah, because it was barely fricking anything like 2010 XI and had even less content than 2002 JP Onry XI did on release.
All there was to do was grind and you’d get penalized for grinding too much until you barely received any more skill points, the server infrastructure was absolutely shit, and the game barely ran on the average gamer’s PC. Plus all of the fricking bugs like falling through the ground if you use used the gathering node detection skill and there were none in range.
SE adopted a “rush it out the door before the next WoW expansion, we can patch it later” approach and it rightfully blew up in their faces, when the game needed another year minimum in development if not two.
It seemed like Tanaka didn't really want to work on the game too, "we don't need that" as an answer to whether you'll ever be able to fricking jump in the game isn't a passionate answer in the least.
I wish jumping was used more in fights.
Not in fights. But general traversal sure. But keep jump puzzles out
It's in maintenance mode fellas. I thought you would have realized by now Endwalker was the maintenance mode patch.

dq 10 looks cool as frick, i would love to play it
wtf bros, no one told me the game was on life support, it's literally over.
Remember that EW was the final expansion and ffxiv was going into maintenance mode?
Some day I want to comb through the archives for threads about this game and assemble a massive collage of "i'm not allowed to criticize it because of the fricking cultists", "yoshit piss flop game LMFAO worlo warcar better", "FINAL TROONTASY TROONTEEN RUINED MMOS FOREVER" and "maintenance mode after this expac roflmao" and call it the Carousel of Cope.
Trying to doompost mmos in general is moronic but especially targeting ffxiv is giga moronic because fricking ffxi still exists.
It's just WoW brain-rot. Not even specifically current WoW players, but running over and spraying vomit and feces all over a game and demanding it go into maintenance mode while dispensing absolutely dog-shit unwashed opinions and calling it criticism is descendant of WoW behavior regarding other MMOs that crowned themselves WoW killers.
It’s blizzard in general they always did this, they tried to do it to tf2 and did it to the entire RTS genre. They tried to do it card games, to POE, etc.
When the blizzard offering of a certain genre slips, like wow, or Overwatch, or Diablo, they spread like rats trying to kill “competitors” or some gay shit
You don't understand anon. It's the only social interaction the doomposters get. They think it's funny and are trying desperately to fit in somewhere, like the weird kid who eats by himself at lunch

blue dps is the easiest role, green dps is only a little harder, red dps is the hardest but very one note
>blue dps is the easiest role, green dps is only a little harder, red dps is the hardest but very one note
Depends on content. In casual stuff DPS is easiest role by far since there's no damage checks aside from very rare cases; you could literally die, go AFK, brew a coffee or have a nice fap and return to completion screen.
Tank isn't too difficulty due to simple rotation, plus you have a lot of leeway for frick ups / learning the mechanics due to mitigation, high HP and healers prioritizing you. But unlike DPS players, you actually need to avoid dying. Just don't point the boss at the party. Party cumdumps have it the hardest despite brain dead "rotation" since you're squishy, have to babysit everyone else and losing both healers means a total party wipe.

I want Meteion to reverse birth me inside her cloaca
wow this is such a nice thread
would be a shame if someone were to
For whom Bobby weeps,
His tears on our skin
The days of our raids gone,
Our parses are sin
These memories ache with the weight of tomorrow
Who farms?
Who buys?
Who pumps?
One brings content, one brings the coom
Two-toned devs, designer and troon
Dollars wasted, laws cast aside
Cosby chambers, no end in sight
One brings content, one brings the coom
Falling MAUs, investors' doom
On their shadows, away we fly
The shit that we post
Is lost to the mods
Here proud Barry bathes in
His meds, what a mong
At this, worlo's end, do we cast off Sylvanas
One brings content, one brings the cum
To this pipeline all games are tied
Brief our moments, horny and dumb
Forged in raid logs, tempered in art
Draenei strumpets, early to rise
Suck come twilight, sleep when they die
Investor's call leavened with lies
Sating honor, envy, and pride
One brings content, one brings the cum
Run from the cum
AUTHORS OF OUR MAZE
ORCHESTRATE OUR FALL FROM GRACE
POOREST PAYERS LEFT TO PLAY
SCHIZOPHRENIA DRIVES US STRAIGHT TO THE EDGE
TOKENS BOUGHT FOR REAL CASH
RECOLLECTIONS OF THE CAT
SWIFT AS DARKNESS, SOFT AS ASS
FAR BEYOND THIS DREAM OF PARTY ROCK
Home
Riding home
Ten point oh
Hold onto hope... Ohhh...
Home
Riding home
Home, riding home
Cope, finding cope... Ohhh...
One brings shadow, one brings the cum
One Black personposter we've yet to ban
Want for nothing, nothing denied
Wand'ring ended, FF acquired
One brings content, one brings the cum
One brings content, one brings the cum
You are the cum
We fall
We fall
We fall
We fall unto the end
Worlo's end
Bobby's end
Our end
We won't end
I am content, I am the cum

So my old mains house is about to explode. Should I login to my old char and reset the house timer?
Depends, if it's a Lavender Beds 11/41 and you're on my world, let it demolish
the FFIV Bahamut mount is massive
It is very tall.
Thanks for letting me know, I'll find out on fricking April or something 🙂
Someone told me I'll have to wait until 7.0 to buy Zeromus mount with totems.
If that's the case, I think I'm gonna kill myself.
Can't hear your whining, in love with my daddy god who still lives.
>week 2
>main content of the patch
>already dead

Main content of XIV is now PVP.

Why are you posting these? This isn't impressive at all.
GNB is tons of fun in pvp
I hate mysterygays. Questions are meant to be answered.
Why is Eureka Orthos dead?
Deep dungeon is unironically shit. You cannot do it via duty finder and people dont care enough to pf it
Orthos has no staying power, it was made for the slightly sweatier population of DD players and didn't even manage to keep their attention.
It was fun with my FC but I have no desire to farm or reclear it. Then again I don't get the appeal of the older deep dungeons either.
The most I personally ever interacted with DD was using Palace when there wasn't a better leveling method from 1-50 for DPS jobs back in Stormblood. Even that's dead now that dungeon queues aren't terrible.
No amount of crying about FF14 will make:
FF15 get its cancelled DLC back.
Make FF11 get all the attention.
Make WoW stop being shit.
huh?
