I am replying not because I agree but because I found it funny nonetheless
Same. I think the >>>/vg/ referrals are gay, but I thought it was fairly cleverly done this time and it gave me a chuckle.
I'm just not fricking with this new expansion theme.
Endwalker's was alright
Shadowbringers was pretty good
Stormblood was really good
Heavensward was honestly the best one so far.
Why does it feel like they progressively got slightly worse? I mean, Dawntrail itself feels kind of aimless with regards to how the Trailer goes, too.
There's nothing that really sticks out at all, and the theme itself is not getting me hyped for anything.
>Stormblood was really good
stormblood's trailer music was pretty shit
What is this new meme?
stormblood has good music but the trailer's music was only good at the very end
The first teaser version of it was good, every thing they added to it after made it progressively worse
the full trailer version feels like 4 different songs mashed together by a schizophrenic
I remember thinking the same thing when I saw each version of endwalkers trailer.
I'm okay with the final version of endwalker's theme now and I probably will be with dawntrails.
I think next expansion I'll just ignore the first two fanfests
the last trailer has more than 30 seconds of a spriggan flying on the sky, it's literally unwatchable
those 30 seconds were mostly more shots of the scenery. Not saying the trailer is nearly as memorable as the others, but its not just the spriggan and paint particles.
>Stormblood was really good
Stormblood makes everyone who is new quit this shitty game and I don't blame them. Ala Black folk can go frick themselves no one cares about them.
>blacked swordsman poster has shit opinions
>Stormblood makes everyone who is new quit this shitty game and I don't blame them.
As a Stormbaby, that is 100% a skill issue.
Nah. People meme about ARR being a filter, but that shit is nothing compared to the Ruby Sea. What a garbage zone.
For context, that's literally where Asmongold quit. So it checks out.
For me, doing MSQ with my time off has always been comfy. Done it since HW, because 2015 is when I started working professionally in a corporate position.
So I remember liking Ruby Sea a lot. But I think what was frustrating with Stormblood was the solo instance in the Fringes causing a roadblock to everyone.
It's based off your highest rank obtained, but I don't know where you'll start in the next season, if the 5 tier decrease applies to your current or highest tier reached.
That's where he stopped, but Alex is what broke him. It just took him a couple more streams to officially give up.
The whole thing about doing that shit "min item level no echo" was so stupid. Like even if there was a potency creep through the expansions, nobody ever did any HW raids with min item level. It wasn't designed to be done like that originally.
Hell, the design of the raid fights is so drastically different to how they are now, it's hilarious.
Like, how many groups actually did A4S "legit", not the sac strat? Like 2? From Japan?
I was on his team that cleared A4S, and man it felt so weird going back to the time of actually paying attention to the timing of when to push things, managing add movements, and dealing with constant random factors (tethers, orbs, etc). I don't miss it.
I almost got filtered by the Ruby Sea as well, so I just stopped caring about the story in the zone, muted the game, listened to a podcast and skipped all the cutscenes. I have zero idea why they though flying with a blue filter was interesting enough to design an entire zone around it. Funny thing is that during my first playthrough I thought they were going to introduce a sailing mechanic or something.
>For context, that's literally where Asmongold quit. So it checks out.
To be fair it was his israelite friend getting metoo'd that made him stop streaming on the main channel.
Just recently got my friend through Ruby Sea (playing with him with New Game+)
I said, "Stormblood can drag quite a bit, just fyi. But it'll get better," and referred chiefly to the start, with Rhalgr's Reach, and Ruby Sea.
We just did Doma Castle tonight and he said he has been enjoying it.
Say what you will about Stormblood but it was the last expansion that was down to earth. Real things happened, real battles against an empire that annexed land and oppressed an entire race
Everything after that is insane intergalactic time travel in outer space at the edge of the universe
Soken is actually not that good without Uematsu to riff the leimotif from.

Unironically how do you respond to this without sounding mad?
nobody cared about Moenbryda
the scene with her parents and Urianger was sadder than her death
too bad they pozzed the game by removing her mammet text
any time urianger is sad made me sad, i'm not even gay, just loved the dude and his mannerisms
#rip cabbage patch kid
unironically true
Blame Maehiro and his strange relationship with female characters, Shiva and Moenbryda's deaths were inglorious and unnecessary
If only the writers didn’t hate femroes.
Poor one out for my homie plappy.
I can understand Papalymo and Ysayle, but Moenbryyda was in the game for like 40 minutes at most
she was barely a character
as
said, the scene where Urianger came face to face with her parents was sadder
bait
For me, it's Mefrid.
>hey remember me m80? You saved my bloke ass right you dude at the quarry mill
>righto, these people have it rough but with the GC supporting us we should be able to push back
>lost a lot of good men at the wall we did, but we musn't give up ho-ACK!
Genuinely, unironically, what was Oda thinking? He had to have known Mefrid wasn't remotely close to Haurchefant levels even by comparing their ARR bits, right? Did he think he was writing some WELCOME TO DARK SOULS b***h type of intro where none of you besties are safe? What was the thought process going on here.
It was just a call-back, I never got the impression he was supposed to be Haurchefant like, especially since his death and the fact Fordola was the one to kill him don't really get touched up more than once or twice.
Like imagine if they had pulled some Fordola shit with the dude who actually speared Haurchefant, there's zero % that shit would've gotten by the fans without them wanting to lynch the writer.
I can understand the other two but who the frick genuinely gave a frick about papalymo or 'yda'? The 3.5 ending is honestly one of the worst things about Stormblood especially since it made sure you know Papalymo died for literally nothing at all beyond ARR memberberries

Did you not play any of the previous expansions? Or any of the previous games?
yeah, they did, back in the 90s
You're a certified mongoloid from now on
'ancient technologically advanced civilization' has been in the series the whole time. stop pretending to be moronic.
I'm so sick of this trope at this point
It's become a cheap writing trick to explain away events that the devs didn't know how to make interesting
>cheap writing trick
The idea of an ancient super advanced society is a pretty pervasive theme even in ancient mythology. You see it pop up in JRPGs all the time because they're calling back to things like Atlantis and the Golden Age in Greek myth, or the antediluvian civilization led by the Sons of God in Abrahamic myth.
>You see it pop up in JRPGs all the time
That's exactly my problem with it. Most of the time those ancient civilizations don't get much of a backstory, they're just a sort of boogeyman that gets blamed for everything
>Wow what's this?
>Allagans
>Oh ok, but how does it work
>Allagans made it
>Yeah but why and how
>Allagans did it(They're all gone btw so you will never know)
And the writers don't have to explain anything
>i don't understand it
>therefore it is bad
uh oh here come the cultists
In a video game context this is a cheap trick to avoid adding interesting details and lore
nta and i was willing to humor your post, but
>cultists
lol
if I intend to keep a game going for 10 more years, I'd leave shit unexplained to use it in the future
idk, anon, common sense. user your brain.
>I demand to be told everything about everything from minute one of the story
>proceeds to complain that there's nothing left to explore
>be told everything about everything from minute one of the story
I don't think 10 years with an expansion advertised as "the end of an arc" is minute one
>obviously everyone should know everything about the history of this ancient civilization from thousands of years ago even though in reality tons of information gets lost over periods as short as a hundred years
Yeah that is my biggest gripe with the setting of FFXIV. Things are either not explained or if they are it's combination of: "aether density", "aether presence", "aether uptake", "aether number nine", "aether flow", "aether coalescence" etc.
If they'd explain anything it'll just be Aether Speak and they'll expect you to just take their word for it.
>explanations don't count when they use in-setting laws of nature instead of whatever autistic nerd shit I want
I'd prefer it not to be a throwaway explanation personally.
Or more specifically define your magical doohikey and keep it consistent. Problem is FFXIV's setting is never consistent.
it's perfectly consistent if you actually pay attention and have a brain
>10 years worth of story is all about aether
>uhm actually dynamis
>it can do literally anything if your emotions are strong enough (if the writers need to make shit up really quick)
what does the existence of dynamis contradict again?
You'd know if you actually paid attention and had a brain
nice cop out
say it
Dynamis being a deus ex machina type plot device to advance the stories and allow the writers to make things happen is the literal opposite of consistency
translation:
>I JUST DONT LIKE IT OK
I expected better.
I suggest you read up on the concept of "deus ex machina" in fiction
Making things up on the fly does not bring consistency to a story. This is as objective as it gets
I suggest you stop trying to pass off your subjective disdain for something as an objective flaw of the story.
Yeah, they should have first brought up this whole idea that you can literally conjure anything out of your emotions back in ARR.
No it isn't you moron
You don't even know what a deus ex machina is
>it can do literally anything if your emotions are strong enough
This was always there, it was just believed to be a property of aether. That's the foundation of primal summoning. What EW added was that it's actually dynamis shaping the aether in response to emotion, and not a function of the aether itself.
>life on aetherically rich star literally CALLED "etheirys" due to the latent concentration of aether upon it is all about aether
>therefore it not being all about aether in outer space or on other stars is.. LE BAD

It's the opposite for me, I think it's better when the ancient supertech is explained less. The Allagans and their reasons for everything are thoroughly explained, as are the Amaurotines. It takes the mystique out of it. I think these ancient high tech societies are much more effective when they trigger that primal sense of wonder, when they're so unknown and disconnected from everything you know that they seem alien. I guess you'd call it an eldritch feeling, knowing that shit has been happening for so long and there are way, way more holes in your knowledge than you can ever understand.

>The high tech bunker is out of place in the world full of high tech bunkers
I don't know why you morons always try to argue this stupid fricking point like any kind of technology is equivalent to any other technology.
>OH YOU THINK THE NVIDIA BUILDING LOOKS OUT OF PLACE WELL DON'T YOU REMEMBER THAT GARLEMALD HAS INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES PLAY THE GAME
People are talking about the aesthetic, not about technological precedent or the existence of any specific technology. You morons give me a fricking headache.
There has never been a set aesthetic in the game and people arguing otherwise are moronic
>dude there has never been a set aesthetic in the game
>just ignore the fact that back in the early days garlean tech just looked like more advanced versions of the stuff eorzeans built cause there'd be no reason for them to have the aesthetic sensibilities of a modern day society just because they have better tech
So what eorzean thing did they copy their tokusatsu villain outfits from
Their officer armor isn't even outlandish or even that advanced.
anon said, posting a bladed eagle helmet, spiked skirting and a gun-halberd
It's just decorative cermet armor on top of cloth and leather. It's really not high tech at all, it's just the same style as the Ivalice judges. Garleans have higher technology but that's not something reflected in their style of armor.
For comparison that's kinda like saying we don't wear much higher-tech stuff than Roman cuirasses for armor because ballistics armor and bulletproof vests are aramid plates or ceramic plates in a worn chestpiece
It's not the material, it's the style. The tech level of Garlean armor is that they use cermet, not the style of the armor. If our soldiers still dressed like medieval knights but made the armor out of ceramic plates and otherwise was identical then you'd agree that the style isn't indicative of the advancement in technology, right? It's not like the Garleans are running around in Iron Man robo suits.
Their style is super-distinct from every other Eorzean armor example and artifact armor, yes I'm going to think they look advanced when they have a distinct fashion-sense and their materials are significantly better. They don't need to be full sci-fi to be visibly more advanced than the player nations
Let's look at it this way. The aesthetic of the actual Garlean homeland is early 20th century, right? People dress in styles you'd expect to see around the turn of the century. But their soldiers don't look like WW1 soldiers, right? They look like fluffed up medieval knights.
Modern day military equipment has nothing to do with what the romans wore, neither in terms of style nor function.
Functionally Garlean armor is probably very different from what Eorzeans wear, but stylistically it's really not that far apart.
The Garlean legatus look itself is obviously very derivative of Darth Vader, whose whole deal is that he looks like an old-timey Samurai but his armor was built using advanced space tech.
>Modern day military equipment has nothing to do with what the romans wore, neither in terms of style nor function.
durr armor has nothing to do with armor
>tokusatsu
It just looks like very ornate knight armor?
The b***h ass level 50 WAR gear doesn't even look that different from something an imperial official would wear.
No rebreather on the helmet, significantly less ridged and "interconnected plate" armor style, use of fur and leather for the majority of the actual armoring
0/10 would not Legatus
Now post Livia or Nero anon
idk what you expect to accomplish when they're all wearing level 15 bronze sabatons.
XIV Ancients were Art-Deco. in ShB.
Greek.. in EW?
I mean the names and parts of the culture always were Greek, but the aesthetic.
Kind of an art-deco and Grecian fusion in Elpis.
Myeah. The art-deco bits were definitely still there, but they felt toned down to play up the Grecian bits. A fusion, like you said.
Whereas recreated Amaurot was FULL ON ART-DECO, down to the color palette.
I consider the orange bricks, lighter tones, increased fauna a minor departure from ShB's Amaurot.
Not enough to make the two not fit together, mind you, just to have a different aesthetic.
The buildings in Elpis still have the same architectural style as ShB.
>chuds first ff game

>citizens of solution 9 are androids posessed of souls
>like the EA but not moronic and can still feel shit
>downside is that they need to resupply with soul based aether to keep their own souls to fracture or seperate and return to the aetherial sea
I'm going to be so disappointed when my cracked fanfiction isn't true and we don't get cute robo girls.
>*from fracturing or separating
The implication that they have some way of manipulating or transferring souls is the most interesting part, because we know even the Ancients couldn't do that and didn't know much about them in the first place.
Emet-Selch could manipulate souls, that's why they called him in to pull one out of the phoenix.
So long as Solution Nine isn't a teleport to some distant land moronation, it'll be good to be in a single primary landscape again instead of fricking hopping between India, the North angry Pole, the Moon, a giant petri dish and the edge of the universe.
didn't they show solution nine on the world map?
Yes
It's inside an allagan structure like Dalamud, it's shown multiple times.
It's not Allagan and it's not inside a Dalamud.
Are you not paying attention to the images of the other zone outside it? You know, the giant thing in the sky they had to erase last fanfest?
I am paying attention and there's nothing that suggests that it's Allagan. And Solution 9 is inside one of these things, not a Dalamud, zoom in on the world map they showed.
You aren't paying attention, we can already read the wording on the signs and pic related, check the lights on the ceiling.
It's inside an orb, a normal allagan structure.
nice ascian sigil
He's missing a horn and the finger count is wrong though. Plus thematically, it'd be weird to still be going 'Muh Ascians!' when we just had an entire expansion telling us to move past them to new adventures.
>Plus thematically, it'd be weird to still be going 'Muh Ascians!' when we just had an entire expansion telling us to move past them to new adventures.
Don't look up the EE3 map that shows where Amaurot was bro... It was off the coast of Tural.
Post a picture, I haven't seen it.
The K on the left is the label for the Tempest. Roughly the same area as the not-Bermuda Triangle on the new map. Has anyone translated what the Triangle is called? I can do it now I guess.
moron, the first was an alaogue for eorzea.
It's "Shades' Triangle", definitely Amaurot.
Yeah... I'm aware. Hence why I included Eorzea in the image on the right so you can compare the same locations in Norvrandt. The Tempest is in the sea west of Kholusia, which is Vylbrand on the Source.
Based on that map it's barely off the shores of Limsa, nowhere near not america.
We know the city extended a good distance though, based on traveling to Anamnesis. And you saw how far Emet's phantom city stretched on. Amaurot in Utopia is also in America.
Ignore my earlier reply, I didn't see this, but wasn't the Amaurot in the first created by Emet? If not, why would there be two Amaurots?
The phantom city you walk through was made by Emet-Selch, yeah. But there are genuine ruins from the real city in the Ondo area, and the Anamnesis building you visit was genuine too. He decided to make his phantom city in the same spot.
That makes sense. Have we seen any Ascian ruins on the source? It seemed like the first place we ever see them is the first.
That doesn't seem right though. Y'shtola's comments that the ruins of Ascian arcitecture imply that they're remains that weren't sundered, weren't they? That's why they're so remarkably dense in Aether.
>Have we seen any Ascian ruins on the source?
No, if there were any in Eorzea they would've been destroyed by Calamities. And we've never visited the Indigo Deep on the Source.
>Y'shtola's comments that the ruins of Ascian arcitecture imply that they're remains that weren't sundered, weren't they?
The whole planet was sundered, so every shard would be an identical copy of the Source at the moment of sundering. Which is why there are any ruins on the First which didn't even exist pre-sundering. If I had to guess, the aetherial density is probably just because they built everything through creation magic, which is essentially summoning.
She doesn't mention anything about the ruins structures being aetherially dense, she mentions it being made of some sort of advanced mineral composite. You're probably confusing her talking about the conjured Amaurot being made entirely of aether.
All of the shards were originally carbon copies of the Source at the time of the Sundering, which included whatever was left of Amaurot and any other Ancient structures. As far as we know and have been told in game, it's unlikely anything from the Ancients' time would still exist on the Source because of all the calamities.
That K is nowhere near the coast of Tural. It'd be closer to the middle of the ocean, but even then it'd be closer to Eorzea than Tural.
It's not even fricking close, are you high?
Holy shit I thought it reminded me of something lmfao
This shit is a stretch
so's ur mom's pussy
That shit doesn't even look remotely similar
It's literally a dragon head with writing underneath it lmao
>You aren't paying attention, we can already read the wording on the signs and pic related
I know, and the Allagans didn't use modern Eorzean script, as I told you in a past thread. They had their own alphabet. The modern Eorzean script is a variation on a rediscovered Amaurotine script that came into use in the Fifth Umbral Era. That the 9ers are using another variation on the script either suggests that they're pre-Allagan or from another shard.
>It's inside an orb, a normal allagan structure.
It's an orb, yes, but zoom in on the map and you can see it's one of these
Yoshida even emphasized the electricity stuff.
>He thinks this board is populated by two people
Anon it's very clearly inside a basic allagan structure, not what you seem to think it is. Calm yourself down, take a few breaths, and then look up the various ingame images they've shown of Heritage Found. Once you've done that go ahead and look up the concept art of the zones and you'll start to piece together what everyone BUT you already knows.
>He thinks this board is populated by two people
Anon, we've had this exact same conversation with the exact same pictures even. I know you're the same guy I talked to before.
>Anon it's very clearly inside a basic allagan structure
There's nothing clearly Allagan about it, you've just decided that it's Allagan and thus everything is somehow proof that it's Allagan.
>Calm yourself down, take a few breaths
I'm very calm, thanks.
>look up the various ingame images they've shown of Heritage Found.
Yeah, I've seen them. There's nothing Allagan about them.
Ok so you're a legitimate schizo, I have no interest in discussing anything with someone as unstable as you.
They've been showing off that new purple totallynotceruleum stuff and the whole setup seems to also be leaning heavily on the color purple but we also have the actual ceruleum trains outside heading to the city so who knows. I thought the purple stuff would be a little more nefarious seeing as it's oozing out of ancient structures.
>Ok so you're a legitimate schizo
Anon, your filenames are even the same. Your talking points are all the same. I have no idea why you'd even deny this. Are you okay?
Pretty sure that dude is this moron. Very bizarre individual who just argues to argue. Not sure if baiter or just someone who legitimately wants discussion but doesn't know how to start it.

> Some lore shit.
Please, as if the lore was ever pertinent or consistent.
but WHY would they try to make it being allagan a secret anon? We've seen their society a million times, WHY would they choose to mask it now? "dude its actually the allagans again" isn't exactly a twist
It's not a secret anymore, why do you think they just threw this in our faces too.
>its not a secret anymore
but then why did they not say allagan during the most recent reveal? Why continue to call it a new society if it totally isn't you guys? This feels like one of those conspiracies where the believers can't actually explain why the government would bother to do something so childish and ineffectual, they just sorta believe that they would you know?
I'm fine with the cyberpunk aesthetic but it feels really triad to fit it this way, especially by making a building into a mining rig
It's not going to be another planet but will probably have a space elevator or a Meteion-powered teleporter or something considering everything is pointing to space travel becoming something trivial
The planetary stuff is going to be like restorations off in its own thing, probably taking our ship or a Loporitt vessel.
It's still trivial enough to become yet another chore for the WoL without the need for a big send-off or NPCs scouring the world for spaceship parts for us.
I just beat some punk's ass at Lord of Verminion lmao get pwned
I only did that against npc for the tournament penguin minion and weekly challenges. Must be cancer against actual players.
The difference in aesthetic there is pretty obvious. Lufenian technology is still very rooted in fantasy except for Stranger of Paradise.

the AF sets look really boring. Wonder if they are just completely out of ideas.
There's only so many darts you can throw at the board while staying within a job's visual identity imo
And yet XI's AF are still better than any shit XIV put out and look different
Aren't most XI AFs recolors or retextures of the previous set?
ssshhh
I looked it up, apparently the third AF equivalent tends to have a different hat or helmet but by and large yeah it is a recolor or a different texture on the chestpiece. BG-wiki gives this for the Lancer and Peltast sets.
There aren't that many gear models in FFXI because of PS2 memory, most of the gear in general is a retexture of a common model.
AF2 on the left, AF3 on the right.
AF1 is the free set you get, AF2 is something that drops from content and is a retexture of the first set, AF3 is a reimagining/remodel of the set.
NO XI IS THE PERFECT GAME SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
There are plenty of other FFs to draw inspiration from. Where's the FF3 Knight, FF3 Dragoon, FF3 Magic/Dark Knight? The FF5 Dancer? FF11 Dancer? Barret Machinist?
It's Level 100, and if Yoshida wasn't lying, level 100 is our final level cap before level squishing or future new idea shit. So they're basically just revisiting the base designs of a lot of the Jobs at their core and putting a new spin on them. Hence why something like PLD straight up looks like a refresh of their 50 AF.
They missed badly with WAR and DRK then. I can see DRG's. The PLD one looked better drawn, maybe I'll just need to dye it.
gnb looks cool
Yup, still full of cheaters
It's Vegas

Surprised they blew their entire America load in 1 expac. They could have easily saved NA for the future.
Realistically how many more expansions do you think the game has left? Meracydia is obviously one, and there are what, 4-5 shards left? I'd be surprised if the game lasts long enough for us to hit all of those, never mind any other possibilities that open up in the future.
So are we thinking Meracydia is gonna be the new Eureka/Bozja? Anybody got lore about it, I recall something about it being really fricking dangerous.
I hope we never go there, especially if solution 9 is more allagan garbage we'd get even more of that shit in Meracydia plus more dragon babysitting.
I hope it’s Aerslaent.
If we’re going with aztec, cahboah and cyberpunk themes, might as well throw vikings in.
Meracydia is too big for just a couple Euraka zones. Something like Corvos is more likely. There's also a non-zero chance they just say frick the ShB role quests and have be about cleaning up the void.

A /xivg/ avatargay who used to post there, until he was outed as a trancercord member and was harassed out of the general because of it. He posts his modded femra attentionwhoring there now alongside his fellow degenerate friend Dumb Ishgardian. It's funny because he's not even a real trancer he just plays both sides (by his own admission), he's a literal ventgay himself. I think he was just spying on them but people still harassed him out of the general for being associated with them.
For being a "Venat fan", he sure seems to vehemently hate the story and narrative that features her most (like.. 90% of her appearance is in it alone)
And does a lot of carrying water for vulgar and chronically disgruntled Zodiark Trancers who also curiously and conveniently seem to be hanging around his replies section.
>Some people just aren't narratively literate. I understand you can enjoy the MSQ without thinking too much about the retcons and plot holes and just enjoy the flashy emotional moments on a surface level. But people who actually do respect and keep true to the rules of the world building and are versed in good strorytelling methods have the sense to know when pacing and inconsistencies are taking place in the story. We aren't dazzled and distracted by fanservice and the jangling of keys for streamers to basedface at.

>GUYS THE KEENING KEENING THEY SAID A KEENING SOUND CAME FROM THE LAND DYNAMIS IS A COMPLETE RETCON THERE WAS A SOUND COMING FROM THE EARTH
Holy fricking autism. People are still having a little cry about "the ancients heard a sound emanating from the earth" in 20-fricking24?
I'm still kinda annoyed that it never said what the noise was.. but I'm betting it was something deep underground reacting to the Dynamis or some shit. Probably the Aetherial Sea tbh
Just dynamis resounding against the earth as it collided, probably. Like echoes and tremors.
They mention a keening sound when the Final Days break out in Thavnair as well, so it wasn't just forgotten.
Honestly it could just be what happens when a tidal wave of Dynamis collides with a shit ton of Aether.
Something like that. Dynamis is a cosmic force, so it barreling into something solid, or aether, all the way from space, is bound to cause some sound. But they heard "cacophonous keening that came from the earth" and immediately dug their feet into the ground and proceeded to die on the hill that it must by necessity have to do with a problem with the actual star itself, most definitely not any outside influences.
I mean, before we found out about Dynamis it 100% sounded like the problem came from within. Though the cutscene after Zodiark straight up lays the implication that something else was responsible and it turns out to be true.
>before we found out about Dynamis it 100% sounded like the problem came from within.
Because nobody had postulated that the problem could be external. You can say that's just "the writers retconning and deciding on an alternate explanation later", but I don't believe there's anything wrong in the characters in game being oblivious to the real cause of a sudden and unanticipated catastrophe with equally enigmatic mechanisms.
FFXIV has a problem with people on the periphery crying about retcons when there is no retroactive continuity going on, they're filling in holes purposefully left
Or rather it's The Fanfiction.net Problem where there's a commonly accepted fanon and an additional chapter proves it wrong, so fujos and neets alike start tearing their hair out and complaining canon was violated when that canon didn't exist prior to the reveal
You basically explained as best I could.
This applies to the whole Amaurotine story, really. Shadowbringers happened and people made their own fanfiction as a result, then got angry when it didn't pan out.
I do give the writers credit that a small shitpost cult built up surrounding Emet-Selch who it was made relatively clear was coping, suicidal, outright lying and an unreliable narrator where Amaurot was concerned throughout all of Shadowbringers, and part of the central argument surrounding Endwalker is that it ruined Emet-Selch because it explained significantly more clearly (directly, in a line from Y'shtola and Livingway a piece) that Emet-Selch wassss coping, suicidal, outright lying, and an unreliable narrator where Amaurot was concerned
No bro, Emet-Selch was completely 100% objective and lucid and not depressed or manic at all. He was a perfect arbiter, just like when he said the sundered aren't really people despite them having fully-formed and self-actualized lives with meaning, desires, loves, family.
Emet said ancient society was an utopia, so it is. And because it is an utopia, Emet is a 100% correct about his assessment. Don't believe your lying eyes.
Yeah but from a in game perspective it makes sense why the Ancients believed it to be a problem from within... Up until you find out they realised the shit was only happening in locations where the atmospheric aether was thinner. Which is why Zodiark shrouded the world, they realised it was an outside influence but Trancers will die on their hill sadly.
>Yeah but from a in game perspective it makes sense why the Ancients believed it to be a problem from within
Completely agreed, and that's basically what I was trying to say. The characters in the setting were oblivious and just *surmised* that it came from the earth because they heard a sound. These people take the characters' in-setting testimony and assert it as incontrovertible, so any conflicting information is perforce "a retcon".
>Up until you find out they realised the shit was only happening in locations where the atmospheric aether was thinner. Which is why Zodiark shrouded the world, they realised it was an outside influence but Trancers will die on their hill sadly.
Good point. But Shadowbringers is the end all be all because it was either their first expansion, or the first expansion where they were invested in the story in a serious way.
>Imagine headcanon
>lorebook says it's literal headcanon

Putting it that way, that's fricking hilarious. Basically telling you straight up "yeah, the shit you confabulated is big fat headcanon cope."

Kek. It really be like that.
I know it's kind of gauche and stereotypical to tell people to "frick off to WoW", but I really feel like the people who want to spend years cobbling together some kind of fanfiction iteration of the story should go play WoW. The setting is already completely pants-on-head so nobody really cares about the quality (or lack thereof), and it takes Blizzard up to a decade, sometimes, to pick up threads. And even then, they're too shit-scared to solidify them, so there's no thread of their whacky fanfiction being directly contradicted like with XIV.

Which scion should job change next?
Alisaie should put on an actual Red Mage AF and Y'shtola should put on the next Black Mage AF instead of pretending they're too good for artifact armors
They should all job change to retired
>
Y'shtola becomes a Time Mage
The problem with Time Mage is that traditional Time Mage gear is goofy as frick
And do you see Sages resembling their FF3 or 5 selves? Besides, Y'shtola literally slowed down fricking bullets in 1.0, and then she's never really done anything like that again besides basic barriers, so it'd be neat to return to some of that.
In fairness Sage appears so rarely and has been an unrelated job name before that it may as well not have a set theme
>Sage
>FF5
Sage honestly barely even has an identity in FF beyond "can cast every type of spell. " anyway which is why I was fine with the XIV version being basically original.
Sometimes it doesn't even get that like Tactics Advance/A2 where it gets Water, Aero, Scathe, Gigaflare and an Ultima variant
yshtola or graha. We don’t need 2 black mages. I know graha is also a pld/whm but yeah
Honestly Y'shtola should just invent her own school of magic at this point, she's probably got the means. Mainly because of the "G'raha and Y'shtola have the same classes" thing (though really it should be G'raha who changed to BRD, he's the one who got into her jobs when she already had them).
They wanted to create new XIV OC jobs right? Make a Shard Mage or something like that, a new school of magic that balances umbral and astral aether by sundering it on the spot and then rejoining it to cause nuclear explosions and perform multiplication tricks. Introduce Mirror Image to XIV.
G'raha to the new 8.0 tank class, especially if it's Mystic Knight so it's a realistic role swap. Main cast currently has two healers and like six DPS, but the only tank is Thancred.
Calling it now the WAR femhroth whose name I still haven't memorized will end up joining.
She's meant to be heir to the throne in the new world so that's doubful
Graha should change to dead.
Tataru. She's been an Arcanist since ARR.

It’s called a leitmotif. Go learn some music theory anon.
Why didn't Uematsu just make one song and then remix it 50 times?
>he doesn't know
And when does Suteki da Ne play during the battle theme?
Since when did it have to specifically be a battle theme?
Fleeting Dream plays during battles if you really wanna be pedantic about it.
>Since when did it have to specifically be a battle theme?
>Fleeting Dream plays during battles if you really wanna be pedantic about it.
The battle theme isn't a remix of Fleeting Dream, what you're referring to is that the battle theme doesn't even play when you're in Zanarkand and it just continues the area BGM.
I was replying to this
, which didn't mention battle themes at all, just that Uematsu didn't remix one song 50 times, which he very much did.
Just because he didn't remix it for the battle themes specifically doesn't mean he didn't do it.
>just that Uematsu didn't remix one song 50 times, which he very much did.
You posted four songs
My bad man
>Shinra theme gets used for songs related to Shinra
Yeah....
>Shinra theme
???
This isn't really that bad, which is ironic considering how much you'll be hearing the theme in the world map by pre-meteor or Highwind. I think it's just more obnoxious with FF14 because it condenses the themes per expansion, so when in the midst of doing a bunch of EW shit you'll be hearing Flow so much it'll drive you up a wall in short order. Then you go back to SB and Rhalgr's Reach fills in, etc etc
I feel sorry for everyone that binges through EW and the patch cycle now, especially given how many times they use FF4's music remixed and rearranged over and over and over in the Void story.
I think it comes down to Uematsu just being way better with instrumentation than Soken really.
He can take the same track and bend it in a variety of cool ways that sound unique each time.
The FF7 main theme itself is mostly just the same passage repeated over and over with different escalating instrumentation.
Meanwhile you'll get Stormblood with Kugane, Othard town, the dungeon boss theme, Shinryu's boss theme and it's like... they kinda sound different, but the music also just sorta sounds the same every time? It's hard to explain really, but it just feels like there's less variety in how the melody's played with - just adding more brass for the battle variations of the song.
Soken's a very melody-focused composer due to his background in rock, so when he's not creating or working with a new melody he can't really add a lot onto it because most of his speciality is already done.
Meanwhile Uematsu is very much focused on layering his productions with a bunch of different elements and flourishes that you can focus on with each listen.
And I love it. Soken is great.
That's every expansion if you haven't noticed
663658261
what did anon mean by this

honestly solution 9 caught my eye, but after the Nier raids where robots from another dimension secretly built entire industrial complexes and sci-fi tech base shit next to the Dwarves on the first (if it isn't all some dimensional gate), and this shit is all canon, i'm just going with the flow
>nanomachines from another dimension replicating shit they've destroyed before
We already had that in omegascape anon
Omegascape is a space alien able to render reality asunder through being really, really fricking anal-retentive about wanting to be the strongest. I don't think Nier ever used nanomachine stuff but I never really played far into Automata, it just made everything seem like bits and pieces of larger machines mashed themselves together.
Nier has quantum magitek nanomachines made from angel particles. The machines you see earlier in Automata are more mundane war machines that just have cores grown from the quantum angel particle tree.
The technilogy in nier is based on magic from drakengard being introduced to the real world. The enemy machines in automata are made by ayy lmaos. the machine super AI decided it was best to evolve machines and androids and make their creation and destruction and progress an automatic never ending interdependent cycle
Oh yeah, I too sometimes forgot that since NIer is now canon in XIV and vice versa, we could literally have a "continuation" of Automata, tying it all up with Drakengard 3, the Realm of the Night, the creation of dragons and Cathedral City. Even a fricking Red Eyes plague
Femelezens are the most mentally ill players, you don't even know

there's this weird thing where fantasy seems to invoke a tolkien-only thing, but by definition, "fantasy" is imagination, unrealistic images conjured forth from fantasizing. and Final Fantasy basically has no standards besides trying to keep internal world theming consistent, which tends to randomly fail like with XV having american gas stations next to italian/french architecture and not-shibuya alongside castles and ruins.
XIV's aesthetic and world theming is quite literally "main good guys are of nature/medieval technology and the bad guys are technologically advanced", to the point that the Garleans, the Allagans, and the Ancients are ever-escalating levels of modernism to futuristic fantasy, down to the Ancients having 1920's esque skyscraper architecture amidst highly advanced machinery all around, Solution 9 is a big leap, but a lot of anons are predicting it's more like a virtual reality we're going into, so if that's the case then literally anything goes at that point when data can simply be stylized in-universe to whatever the administrators wanna do.
the bigger inconsistency really is just Mogstation shit and Fall Guys
not gonna lie, when I first started XIV, i really thought this was a JENOVA hard reference
Nope. It's a uterus reference.
>his body and soul, mine!
What did she mean by this?
Other than some extremely obvious tells from the devs. When has community story speculation ever been correct? I haven't been playing long, about 2 years on and off, but most of these theories and extremely autistic analyses have almost never been on the mark, to the point where I'm considering whether the people posting them are being purposefully moronic.
Lavos is gonna burst out any day now.
Everyone guessed exactly what was going to happen in the Twelve raids.
Well the twelve raids were one of those cases where the devs weren't being subtle at all and you'd have to be moronic not to get it.
Zero's story is a generic shonen anime story. Might as well call her Sasuke she's so archetypical.
>FF14's story is a generic shonen anime story
fixed
True, that's why these analyses always make my head scratch. If you watched One Piece or Naruto, you're going to figure out the story beats a few hours in.
don't mind me, just setting up the time machine
hopefully these aren't from /vg/
But to their credit, I actually thought he was Elidibus or something. I completely forgot about CT cause I skipped that shit during SB
It's wild how G'raha went from being a forgettable alliance raid NPC to the second most popular character in the game. Wish my homie Leofard got the same treatment.
Leofard was actually a decent character and foids don't like those
G'raha would be better if he kept his CT snark. Spending a century in an apocalyptic hellhole made him a homosexual.
Simply put: most of the story is fairly straightforward. Occam's Razor reigns. By default, that means that most people who go out of their way to do kooky brainstorming, creating wild, spurious conspiracy theories, get BTFO.
People guessed exactly how Zero's story was going to end back in 6.2.
>wtf people guessed obvious reference to old FF game the story was referencing
Azem is still alive and I will be the one anon stupid enough to believe it until it's proven true
He's going to die in a few days.

shadowbabs/wowfugees play through xiv in 5.55, make up all sorts of fanfic/headcanon conclusions about what would happen next and the truth behind the final days and the sundering, zodiark and hydaelyn
get directly contradicted by endwalker right after release
spend 2-3 years being sour about it and now hate square, yoship, ishikawa with an unending rage
Why are they called Zodiark Trancers tho? Does it have something to do with FF9's trance state? And what does Zodiark have to do with that? Did they think that Zodiark was some giga-form of some homosexual?
>Why are they called Zodiark Trancers tho?
Because of a really cringe comic some Hispanic made.
some esl shitter traced some models for a comic and made his own fanfiction version of events where the WoL became an edgy emo kid who suddenly loves lahabrea, emet and elidibus and hates hydaelyn
so he fights hydaelyn solo and channels the power of zodiark like a summoner does with dreadwyrm trance
then he kills her with styx (the zodiark "akh morn" equivalent)
it all started with a shitty fanfic commissioned by someone that really didn't like how ShB managed Emet and the other Ancients.
The WoL instead of befriending Venat in Elpis, he becomes her enemy and yells "Zodiark Trance", cause that WoL was a Summoner? I don't fricking know
Thing is, it begat a movement called Trancers that hated Venat wish passion, Ishikawa and people who still enjoys the XIV story.
>Thing is, it begat a movement called Trancers
There's no movement. It's a handful of ESLs that this /vg/ twitter screencap posting moron stalks and spams the thread about regularly.
It's a small movement. A bowel movement, but a movement nonetheless
Thing is, that page reminds me of a shitty wow fan comic made by someone who mained Orc Warrior, where he calls out Sylvannas in a similar manner, and instead of moping the floor with the orc, Sylvannas gets humilliated by words. Shit's extremely cringy, wish I could see it again.
It's no shock that they're lapping WoW's toes so hard recently. Even if they hadn't confesses that they are all WoWgays, one would be able to tell by their inability to grasp the most basic shit and their infantile love of edgy garbage that they are basically WoWgays, with a WoWgay's understanding of stories (i.e. none)
hopefully, blizzard gets their shit together for once and stop leaking those kind of morons into other games, infecting them with their ideas
last thing I remember, the Trancer Leader was a frenchie, who used to write Zenos x WoL bara fanfiction. I lost a lot of bookmarks a screencaps when my old pc died.
didn't one of the frickers basically go "blizzard truly winning out here war within looking sublime unlike ziv" (paraphrased)
one can only hope they go and stay go
>last thing I remember, the Trancer Leader was a frenchie, who used to write Zenos x WoL bara fanfiction. I lost a lot of bookmarks a screencaps when my old pc died.
Yes their leader and server owner goes by Teraq, a 37 year old french women who plays a Malera and identifies as nonbinary/asexual.
Wierdly, despite a frenchie and even playing the game in french, she posts on the NA forums. Infact, many of the trancers are EU gays but post on the NA forums, which I thought was impossible (like how if you have the NA client you can't register and post on the JP forums). They may live in NA, but I am convinced I've seen some of them admit to living in the EU (like one of them being from and possibly still living in Scotland). Really makes you think
>didn't one of the frickers basically go "blizzard truly winning out here war within looking sublime unlike ziv" (paraphrased)
Yes, it was coypasted here repaetedly a couple months ago but I'm struggling to find it. It's that @answersisters baragay who is falseflagging as a Venat stan. He's Aveyond Dreams from the OF forums who's gone by a million different accoutns by now (@highlancowman, @basethundergod and other such names similar to Barry's twitter handle (@basedandred). Can probably find it by next thread.
Jesus Christ that pic related is something else. Genuinely cringeworthy. I can hear the Linkin Park screaming through my speakers it's so stupid.
what became "trancers" already existed before the comic. they just didn't have a name yet. I forgot what people called them, but probably something like "emetgay discordshitters" or something, lmao, since they congregated in discord to circlejerk
it was only after the comic came out and the discordgays banded around it and held it aloft as their shared masterpiece and symbol of their superior media literacy that people took to pinning the name "zodiark trancers" onto them, in absence of a better name
Also, I just realized he's drawing in a manga style and yet the reading order is left to right. Do these morons not understand the media they consume?
It's pic related
tl;dr some ESLs got upset that venat wasn't a villain, made a cringe comic that got laughed off of the FFXIV subreddit, made a discord server to lick their wounds and attack randos on twitter, Ganker, reddit and the official game forums from, were involved in a lot of weird account purchasing to abet the previously mentioned rando attacking. last i recall it fell apart from infighting, subterfuge and their own mental moronation
>What the frick is a Zodiark trancer? Is this some Barry-tier schizo posting or is there some deep, severely autistic lore that I'm missing out here?
Read here:
https://arch.b4k.co/vg/thread/418958841/#418959041
Someone posted a TLDR but this is the full story in excruciating, autistic detail
The best part? It turned out that the person behind the ZODIARK TRANCE comic is a massive FF15 fanboy. Even uses the name "Noct" on discord along with a Noctis/Luna avatar.
Make of that what you will.
bazztek and trancers. is this the collab of the century?
>it's ff15gays all the way down
i swear that game gives people brain worms
That game might actually be a mistake
Why do people pretend endwalker wasn't full of retcons when the writers have admitted they didn't even know what the frick to do with Asicians until stormblood? Is it because "the story is good" is one of the only big selling points this game has?
list all of them
Tempering immunity coming from the Blessing of Light and not the Echo
>Ganker threads are just full of story autists
have you guys tried playing the game
Yes, anon. We have played the game. That's why we know the fricking story you actual brain-rotted fricking zombie.
this isn't wow, the story actually matters here
but the gameplay is better than the story which is just a bunch of ff stories mixed together it is so derivative
Didn't ask, and that wasn't the point of your first post.
if you aren't going to discuss the game for what it is and instead just discuss the derivative laid out story then take it to discord, /vg/ or /vrpg/ or whatever
The gameplay is just as derivative and laid out, there's no reason to discuss it
then don't make threads about it
You will never be a janny
>The gameplay is better than
no it ain't
>hich is just a bunch of ff stories
yeah, and VII and XI are basically the same game cause they Both have Ifrit
Ifrit doesn't even show up in XI's story until one of the very last cutscene and he doesn't show up in VII's story at all...
yeah, but it's a summon in VII, so it's basically the same game according to you.
Unless you can show an example of XIV reusing (a beat by beat recreation) the story of an older game, you should sit down and stick to gameplay discussion
>Just an ordinary sky, ordinary and beautiful.
anyone else get fricked by the weather in this game?
I think it's hilarious they let this scene get covered by fog/clouds for some people.
Why did the english localization change Venus to Venet? Do they hate females?
Because FFXII localization already settled it as Venat.
because they did that change in XII, so for consistency's sake they kept Venat in XIV as well
Because of FF12.
And it's not Venet, but Ven-ah.
In Japanese, it's often pronounced as Benez, which sounds funny to me. But yeah, Venus.
you all know damn well emet is coming back in some form
Can't wait for Emet to be Haurchefanted 50 times in 7.0 alone. Constant flashbacks to Emet saying or doing a thing with the WoL being sullen and crestfallen about it.
We literally already had that with Endwalker they made him the fricking narrator
I hope you're ready to see him on Tuesday the moment Wuk Lamat mentions going to Tural.
>WoL lowers head solemnly

>smile, nod, punches palm
I'm fricking done if Ancients are behind something in 7.0. Have Solution 9 be aliens who fled Meteion or some shit.
>The Venat mommy gays are seething about trancers who don't even come here again
ok jose
Just like other lolcows in the community, dunking on Zodiark Trancers will never cease to be amusing.
uh oh trancer melty
>Visit Final Fantasy XIV thread
>Half the posts in it are about World of Warcraft, ecelebs, and twitter drama
Fanfest didn't do shit to increase thread quality and I'm starting to think expansion launch won't do anything either. I blame the shift in the playerbase that occurred in Shadowbringers for this homosexualry.
>trancers who don't even come here again
AN ENTIRE YEAR
Ultimecia when?
this is all we'll get
Omegascape was a huge fricking mistake if only for these moronic low effort BUT WHERE'S SEPHIROTH tier posts
prolly in the ultimate after gaia/ryne kiss to combine into her
What is the most advanced civilization in XIV?
Omicrons? Allagans? Solution Neiners?
Rala gays or Ea
there was also the second civilization in the dead ends
They were just humans, literally a bad end version of Terminator
Yeah, but their tech wasn't too bad, no? A little more advanced than we currently are.
They're not too far off from where actual humans are, that was the point I was making. Definitely behind Allag or the 'cron
>nta
nta btw
>he can't even click on the right post
moron alert
>Ea
Frick, I totally forgot to acknowledge them. Good one.
Ala mhigo
Depends what qualifies as advanced. The Ea, Nibirun, and Amaurotines evolved past the need for actual technology because they were all post-scarcity.
Technologically. So sci-fi stuff.
Amaurotines, for example, were advanced in their own way, but because they used creation magicks to replace their need for tech, they probably fall to the wayside a bit compared to the space-faring types.
The Allagans, I think. The Omicrons are up there but the Allagans took Omicron tech and then juiced it up with magic. Amon invented a perpetual energy machine and a matter generator, and they were space faring.
>allagans

I want Soken to compose something that isn't butt rock. He's got some big shoes he still needs to fill. None of his current works can hold a candle to Revolutions.

Remember to watch out for that crazy guy Fandaniel.
no bro you jut don't get it. there's a secret more powerful power
It's quite literally a weaker power, we just dealt with a universal congregation of it
You would have to be pretty delusional to believe the XIV writers didn't make some stuff up along the way. The story is absolutely fine as is but let's not kid ourselves it's not that clean and free of contradictions
