        yep, he heard his grandpa was a great hero over there now so he expected things to work out for him like they did in high school
        >What was Alisaie doing during that time?
        trying and failing to figure out what to do, but knew that the crystal braves was a thoroughly moronic idea, after binding coils she redirects all her attention to becoming a red mage so she can keep pace with WOL senpai

        Yeah, literally. That was his entire problem in ARR; that he was really just swinging his dick around pretending he was Hydaelyn's gift to Eorzea because he was a sharlayan prodigy and the grandson of the great Louisoix. He had a sincere desire to help but he also wanted to get fellated for it.
        >What was Alisaie doing during that time?
        She joined some merchant caravan that was going around the place, trying to figure out what she was going to do to also help the city states, because she didn't like the idea of the Scions as a clandestine organization working from the shadows saying it was for the common good. She changes opinion in HW once she finally sees for good that there's actually no bullshit to the Scions and they really unironically are trying to do good.

    There’s no way that I would ever think the expansion that gave us two really fun ultimate raids, two (soon three) really fun difficult dungeons, a fun deep dungeon, good crafter content, aspho and anabas (abyssos sux) relatively good balance and most jobs super fun is the “worst”. I’m not arguing that it’s the best by any stretch but be so serious.
    >But the story!!
    The story is something you do for a few hours and then play the game I have 16k hours and like barely 60 of that is story you’re absolutely smoking plastic if that factors into why I log in post patch.

        They didn't want to restore the 13th they wanted it's aether to rejoin with the source. Furthermore I'm sure they understood or could easily figure out that blasting it with light might do something but doing so would require them to stop their own plans for rejoining the first part way and then hijack all of that aether to maybe have a chance at doing it.

            A thing that I'll add we don't even know we're doing next patch because it's entirely possible after we're done we'll just have set things in motion and it'll take time for things to actually take effect, or maybe won't even happen because this is all speculation based on a title and and splash art?

                It's why HW and especially SHB are praised, because they're the closest to self-contained side-stories. That said, a lot of what happens in SHB opened tge floodgates to retroactively ruining the games overall plot and setting. People just forget because they only remember the cool and kino moments. HW was the same to a lesser extent, but on a smaller retcon scale by making Ysayle less of a fanatic, undoing the Bloody Banquet, and turning a xenophobic orthodoxy into a city full of curiosity and courtesy for you beyond what should've been a royal family proving shelter.

                The Ul'dah plotlines resolution was pretty sloppy and felt as if it ended with Lolorito going "lol it was just a prank bro" but with that said I don't think it counts as a retcon. There's a 1.0 plotline involving Eoldande Quiveron and Lolorito pulls a similar trick with sleeping poison there. I think it would have felt less bullshit if that foreshadowing made it into ARR somehow. Like having a sidequest that goes into what happened during that 1.0 plot.

      What's wrong with PLD?

      • 9 months ago
        Anonymous

        takes the longest to get an actually fun rotation, especially in aoe. worst damage and yet despite being the guy with a shield is generally also the worst mitigating damage. all of your weird quirks are self defeating outside of being able to stock up multiple uses of sheltron. atrocious lore/questline and schizophrenic class aesthetic. if you like gladiator you probably like warrior more, if you want to be a cool knight you probably like drk more, if you want to be a guy with a magic sword that shoots holy lasers gnb has you covered with a questline that's actually about helping people.

          Not really the worst at mit since they brought back Bulwark. The only caveat is needing autos for Sheltron.

            bulwark just made it so PLD isn't noticeably behind the other 3 and let them rework sheltron so PLD isn't screwed by bleed effects unless they can convince their cotank to swap short cooldowns with them. pressing literally every non party mitigation + rampart, pld takes 29% damage. that's pretty cool, but gnb is hitting 36%, and if its a physical hit and you get a parry proc from camo its 30% of the normal damage. gnb also heals nearly twice as much as the pld is from sheltron with corundum + aurora, and camo lasts twice as long as bulwark. and gnb has a heal + shield on their 123 combo they do constantly while pld either isn't healing at all outside of clemency or only during their spells. war kitchen sink is 40% along with all their healing. even drks 45% on physical hits (36 on magic) is pretty good given how the fat tbn shield scales with mitgation much better then taking an extra 10-15% less damage does and their mindless 123 spam is a surprisingly large amount of sustained healing even if they don't have any panic options. all 3 of these tanks also have better invulns then pld and do more damage.

            and all of this autism assumes you're using literally every mit on 1 move, you aren't, and even if you're just trying to prove a point and no sell a move warrior is better at this because they synergize with scholar shield

          I like paladins so none of this stuff applies to me. As a new player I agree it's taking a bit too long to get fun damage skills though, but I already have my hands full keeping mitigation up while attacking

            but what is a paladin? a guy who wanders the land helping people? because the "paladin" (actually knight, the jp name) questline has none of that. the dark knight and gunbreaker questlines feature a lot of it though.

            even if you just mean the function meaning of sword + ability to heal others gnb has that covered

          Bro everything you said is complete bullshit. The only thing PLD lacks is a shorter invuln. They have the most satisfying invuln in dungeons because the healers dont have to watch your HP go to 1. PLD is absolutely a more fun experience up until higher end raids where the 7 minutes on Hallowed actually becomes an issue.

            and you spent the rest of ARR mashing 1-2 aoe combo mindlessly while warrior gets an extra aoe/meter and vengeance parries to add some minor nuance to dungeon pulls

                True fomo is a blight to player engagement. I just want people to experience everything and have fun. The ff14 devs cannot balance a true grind to save their lives. Either you get bullshit like the new relic nowadays or there's absolute impossible nonsense for a normal person like the Hunt mounts or that Pterodactyl. It honestly makes me wonder if they play the game at all. Criterion's a fricking mess too, even if that content is still fun to go in and do blind for two or three lockouts.

                You do realize XIV is fomo central despite always advertising itself as no content left behind, right? Old content has been massively powercrept due to sync and it's unfun to play because you have no buttons before level 80 now, soon to be all content below level 90 is a chore by this time next year. A good 85% of the game rendered useless because Yoshida isn't concerned with longevity. Sure, you have unsync mount farm, but is that really how you want to experience the game? Killing everything in a minute while you watch netflix on your second monitor? Eureka and Boxja will be ghost towns that not even F2P will save, there's just no point to doing them as a new player because you missed out.

                Even when it comes to relevant content there's always a rush to clear it all within the first couple weeks or else you're left behind. PvP ranking? Better git Diamomf at the minimum within a week or you'll never get to play ranked for 3/4th of the patch. Savage? Better clear by week 4 minimum or else you'll be stuck with shitters and you'll be blacklisted for late parses.

                its so awful. last free to play period I spent some time leveling my 50+ jobs and they are all same shit until late 70s. granted many jobs play the same even at endgame but they dont even try to give you some of the more interesting stuff early for many of them.

    I notice this Brown Elezen only appears on the forums after a bunch of Doomers get banned to spout some conspiracy theory about some guy from Ganker joining the OF FFXIV forums to mass-report "Trancers". He's also wierdly familiar with /mmog/.

    Who is this guy? Given his post history (he seems to know oddly much about how the forums work, more than a normal poster should know), and given he only appears whenever a bunch of Doomtrancers get reported and banned, I suspect this guy may be a forum mod who's angry he's being forced to do his job and ban the trolls shitting up the website.The forums are a shithole precisely because the mods dont do their jobs and remove the trolls. Now that somebody is going and mass-reporting them all (and they've been getting banned), it seems the janny can't ignore the reports anymore and he's pissed off.

      I remember there was this anon in /mmog/ who claimed that a barry-poster was actually a mod on the FF forums, and that he was previously a Ganker mod who got kicked out by the Ganker admins for powertripping in /wowg/ (him being the same janny who made /wowg/ unuseable becuase he'd delete half if not the entire thread and ban anyone for vaguely mentioing FFXIV) than somehow became a FF forum mod to take revenge or something.

      They gave up on Hien so quickly. Man hasn't had a voiced line since LET US BE ABOUT IT in Ghimlyt Dark. He was pretty boring, but they didn't even try to make him work afterwards, meanwhile I'm convinced no one liked or cored about Graha until SHB. He's such a basic "muh fate binds me" character, felt nothing for him during CT yet you're expected to feel all these crazy emotions for him during SHB because he idolized you after 100 years and not because he's a real character with a real personality. Exarch salvaged Graha.

        The whole point was that it was legal and that old pre-Garlemald Doma wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for everyone and even if her response was disproportionate, Yotsuyu's hatred wasn't entirely unjustified. Nobody on the Doman side was upset he had been running a brothel, even the guy was only afraid because he happened to put specifically her to work.

      The Healer role quest also contradicts the "soul deletion" part of becoming a blasphemy.

        The healer quest literally, explicitly, zero-room-for-ambiguity, lays down how and why memories can persist after turning into a blasphemy. It had already happened with the big snake blasphemy in the main quest, and blasphemies have always jabbered phrases from their previous life. I cannot factor how you're stupid enough to miss all of this.

        Why is it that when the story gets criticized, rather than bringing up the myriad of valid shortcomings, they instead focus on points that only make sense if you're moronic and only half-focusing on the fricking exposition?

        Somebody walking off after death isn't literal either, there's no actual possible way Ardbert split off from you again to go join his besties in the afterlife.

      Once we resolved tempering as an after thought I lost a lot of interest in the setting and the way they've handled the Void shit just ruined my opinion of the game even more
      EW literally took like 5 years of plot threads that could've been their own expac worth of "How do we resolve/discover this" and then resolved them all in like 5 quests worth of cutscenes each

            The Banquet and WoD were far less egregious than black rose and lunar primals. Especially because the banquet happens at the very end, its not pulling your dick for three patches. WoD was mostly a nothingburger before 5.0, but it's still self-contained and sheds more light on the state of other worlds.

                G'raha himself said when introducing her that Feo Ul was a different pixie, that she was far more able to interact with mortals. Feo Ul offered it as a choice. Anden's pixie didn't.

                I really think you just replaced an entire character here with your own headcanon to turn what the game presented as just a nice but futile gesture into some doomer death trap narrative.

      listen bro
      i had 2 friends that tried this game this year, they both got all the expansions
      the story is just too long, one of them was skipping the other wasn't, the skipping one never got to endwalker and got lost in roulettes, eventually got bored and quit
      the one that didn't skip the story was burnt out by the end of it and took him like 2 months total at a regular pace of playing

      the main problem both had wasn't the story but instead in my opinion was that they lacked a goal or didn't focus on one, you need to know what you want out of this game before you finish the msq, if you want to do just the story then keep playing msq, if you want casual fun then you can probably ignore it or go about it slowly, if you want to just do endgame content i think it might be better to buy a skip

    am I the only one that liked 6.2 and 6.4
    6.1 was ok
    6.3 was fricking bad and I can only remember the forced kuudere zero scene, 6.4 zero was cute

      6.4 Zero was better because there was no more "muh payments" bullshit that they can't keep track of and tearing down her passivity means she actually had a couple nice scenes, but instead it was brought down by how fricking stupid the whole Golbez plan turned out to be. If you can even call it plan.

              presumably the WoL will shine their crystal flashlight onto Azdaja and that'll unvoidsentify her, I guess. This /has/ to end with her being rescued, because otherwise this entire plot will have all been for fricking nothing.

              Tbf with that, it's not like our side has any fricking idea what to do. It's either beat up Zeromus and just hope to frick it somehow works out and Azdaja respawns like voidsent do or just give up hope once and for all. The Scions have no precedent for this kind of situation and no real maneuver space. Throwing porxies at Zeromus seems kind of futile.

              It's a stupid plan, but it's desperate stupid. Golbez's is like, planned stupid. He had a LONG fricking time to plan this shit out and everything he did went completely contrary to what he wanted to happen.

        The only thing I didnt like in 6.4 was that how summoning zeromus out of azdaja's longing to return to home was kinda convoluted and kinda stupid even

    But man, reading Golbez's plans plus the way he acts makes you realize how nonsensical it is. If it was just invade the source to conquer, that'd make the whole minions make sense... but that isn't his plan, so I wonder if it got changed to "I WANT TO DIE... NOW" mid development.

        Like legit that'd make him trying to stop us saving Azdaja makes sense - her aether is the backbone of an operation to super empower voidsent to conquer the Source. Instead he keeps purposely weakening her to stop us from getting to him, making his planned super-voidsent weaker, and stopping us from giving her the hope that he needs to have Zeromus try to immediately bust its' way to the Source instead of just continuing to slum around the Void
