The moment they made ShB a seasonal anime plot was the moment FFXIV died. It attracted a lot of the bad crowd and they started catering towards storygays with really fricked pacing but "muh emotional kino". They tried, I actually believed they tried but sometimes the doctor can't fix everything and there's a lot of "what the frick were they thinking" with xiv story.
Gameplay went down the shitter. Not like it was particularly fun but now each expansion just copies the last expansion because the frickery in HW.
Your thoughts?

I don't get this meme, did people really have problems with this? SOAR was kinda funny but that's only because it was the first actual filter in the game. Now it just feels like you're forcing everything to be a meme for no reason.
It's not the gameplay mechanic that's funny to me, just the fact that he's gloating about controlling the world and all it amounts to is turning an arena 90 degrees.
well he was throwing the fight
Frick you Hermes, just frick you.
man can you shut the frick up with your gay ass. god you Black folk talk so fricking weird sometimes in xiv threads it's unreal.

Bro, your 4 hour video explaining every point?
It started with the monotonous shit Stormbood expansion. And goes further down with Endwalker retcon shit.
FF14 Endwalker is now an empty shell of the original ARR
It started with the 6+ months of nothing but welfare updates in heavensward when they pulled the team off to fix other projects and the game was run by a skeleton crew
It's a shame they fricked up Stormblood so hard to the point that they gave up on the more grounded, humanist fantasy storytelling and went in heads first into anime bullshit.
The way my fricking stomach sank when they said that they were planning to do a full on expansion focusing on the alliance's campaign against garlemald and because what, they want to tell a story about some emo doomer frick and his bird, it gets canned to being ONE map. Just so that they can clear the slate to tell a story about what, the fricking 13th? What can we really even fricking get from that? in terms of actually engaging storyteling and not just more anime bullshit.
Christ, literally in terms of everything but the way Zenos was handled at the end, Endwalker was such a disappointment.
>grounded, humanist fantasy storytelling and went in heads first into anime bullshit.
so you haven't played ShB and EW then, got it
I'll admit I still ultimately like ShB despite what it did to the whole Garlean plotline, but you're fricking delusional if EW isn't incredibly fricking jam packed with corny anime shit and babbies first sutra reading morals.
Hell, it even fricking ruined Emet because they just can't fricking help themselves.
Worse yet they made a tine travel to explain the ancient shit yet there is blank unknown shit like what happened to azem and the hydaelyn vs zodiark fight that should be g warrior vs water weapon fight but better ala latest ffxvi trailer of eikon fights
>Hell, it even fricking ruined Emet
Ruined him how?
Grounded when you fight susano with a metal gear rising qte in the same expansion and a moron super samurai nazi that keeps you alive after getting tanked the floor many times
its almost as if the entire comparison is disingenuous to begin with, because every expansion has had both grounded story elements and ""anime bullshit""
Fighting Sasanoo and saving the universe isn’t the same thing.
So your complaint then is the escalation of the stakes, which started in late SB and continued through EW. That going to the end of the universe to stop a collective of divine entities from accelerating the heat death of the universe and stealing souls from across every planet in the universe and preventing them from being reborn was too far from "grounded"
I'll respond to you rather than the baiting homosexual since it's hilarious expecting ASOIAF shit from
>Final fantasy
Which has, outside of tactics, always been anime. Also stormblood's uwu quisling but with amnesia and cute we can't punish her.
XIV's writers actually do their worst with humanist grounded storytelling. Not because that shit is bad - that shit is better than high octane anime storytelling. It's just that they suck at it.
I agree with this. You can clearly see where 6.0 would have been (Garlemald/the moon/thavnair) and what 7.0 would be (Elpis/Ultima Thule/Sharlayan).
Shoving them together meant we had, except for Sharlayan part 2 with the rocket preparation, very little downtime from high drama. But it also meant the end of days didn't feel like end of days at all. SHB did the near apocalypse far better.
I agree but with the red haired comitting war crimes with sorry not sorry besides the magic empathy and trying to make us care about ala nhigers when not even highlander players care it
That too. Stormblood also suffered greatly from the split focus but even if you didn't it still was a waffle.
They just cannot do political or 'war' stories very well. ARR's garleans vaguely works because it's literally just star wars holding their hands. Eulmore's 5.1 wasn't very good, Ishgard's was probably the best they've done and Stormblood's was a fricking travesty that in any other media would be laughed at for the soap opera nonsense of amnesia uwu japanese ice cream balls.
Look at how they handled Garlemald. They didn't even put fricking Nerva and his legion in as actual story for most people to encounter, it's just "yeah lmao he turned into a blasphemy kill em if you have all role quests done". While Garlicks are either thrown to the moon or to Sharlayan. And judging from the trailer we're not getting any Garlick shit in 6.2, so it seems like they just want to wipe their hands of it.
Would make sense.
The most highly praised expansion, arguably, remains the one that was a character-driven political and war story. Heavensward is a huge reason why people love the game, and its entirely about the Dragonsong War and Ishgardian politics.
>That was a character-driven political and war story
There's nothing "War" in heavensward though, it's nothing but pure politics, outside of the introductory quests leading up to it there's not a single moment that makes you feel like if you were in a war.
Hesvensward is barely a war story, the backdrop is the Dragonsong War but there is a grand total of one major battle in the whole thing and that doesn't come till the very end. Hesvensward.
Maybe they wanted rid of the Garleans so they wouldn't have any more 1.0 plot to worry about anymore. But then again you still have the Scions hovering around you.
This so much this.
>Do a big sentimental goodbye to all of the scions at the end of endwalker
>Inmediately right after we are thrown off with surprise surprise, the scions once again.
And yeah, i know that the scions never disbanded and that was just a facade, but they could have at least saved using them until the next expaction or something, otherwise the send off it's not really impactful
>Inmediately right after we are thrown off with surprise surprise, the scions once again.
yeah that felt really cheap
same for going back to the first after such tearful goodbyes, why the frick couldn't we just go to the crystal tower in mor dhona for the same effect
Shadowbringers and Endwalker are about stopping gods from blowing up the universe. That's about as far from grounded as you can get. Elements of that plot were present in Heavensward and Stormblood, but they were never the focus. Likewise, ShB and Endwalker have humanistic elements, but they're mostly vehicles for exploring the cosmology of the setting.
>That's about as far from grounded as you can get.
except there are massive segments of both Shadowbringers and Endwalker that exclusively explore grounded themes of humanity, like Garlemald and Eulmore.
Yes, but every zone in Heavensward and Stormblood was about those things.
They re mostly vehicles for covid talking and about some shit of keep living after all that shit , work and have childrens
I generally didn't mind EW but they REALLY shouldn't have mashed two expansions into one. It just makes the garlemald part a huge disappointment. Some of the character writing in EW was obnoxiously annoying but that's like most of FFXIV "comedy" writing. They can't balance tone at fricking all. But yes that's the problem when they don't plan shit out and they bring a writing doctor to the team.
ShB had some real dumb shit too, dumbfrick forest was fricking dumb. Honestly I feel like playing the game again on an alt to properly criticize the story since it's been so long. ARR post patch had my actual favorite moments.
I mean I generally like ShB and EW story but if you were to ask me how I'd rate it - it's somewhere between 7-7.5/10 not this OMG GOTY GOTY I LOVE MY FOTM SHIT that everyone says.
>ARR post patch had my actual favorite moments
Imagine being this much of a contrarian lmao
I don't think having scenes like the bloody banquet being their favorite scenes means they are a contrarian
Gameplay was never good in xiv, it's like early WoWstalgia where people remember it being better because it was before the pipeline was established, when the game was more wild and untamed.
Now that the hedges are manicured and the formula is instated, people are waking up to the fact that xiv has fundamentally garbage gameplay and the real reason people are enjoying it is for the side content and erp and shit, which every other game severely lacks.
On the contrary FFXIV gameplay is very good and I have fun playing it 🙂

2.0 ARR launch here
The game is far from bad, but the elitist, hypocritical, passive-aggressive c**ts that took over the community after EW are so fricking insufferable that I go out of my way to shit on the game's ""story"" and casualization at any given opportunity.
Game's ok, but FRICK the community. Remember KHgays and how bad they were in 06-08? This is the same shit.
i like the game and story but the NA community in particular is infested with LGBWYERASGCGQUCNGWUE degenerates.
>starts eating hamburg while ears are wiggling after book falls on head

Vomit inducing scene
Why does the XIV community hate its PVP modes? They're quite fun.
Frontline isnt fun annon big teamwork with randoms its almost impossible and the netcode isnt made to get 72 players shitting special effects and should be removed and completely replaced by rival wings thats its more fun and contained
the nadaam map in frontlines is cheesy as frick with the pvp rework just a bunch of homosexual PLDs running around capping while le invuln. also CC had a really bad cheater and wintrading issue in season 1
I see the team doing that losing more often than not. The thing is, in Nadaam, taking and defending ovoos is the key issue and the team getting the most Battle Highs will win that fight every time. So, the cheesing team usually doesn't fight much and by the end of the match they've barely got any BHs and just get steamrolled too hard for even the cheese to work.
I agree I usually see them lose too since ultimately battle high wins frontline, doesnt make the slew of PLDs running around fun to fight. it went from the best map to the worst one pre change
Aside from deep dungeons, PVP is the only part of the game I enjoy anymore. Specifically frontlines
The last time I played this game, frontline was borderline unplayable due to objectives getting bombarded at all times by a gazillion megaflares and machinists sniping the survivors.
It's a bit better.
>playing frontline with effects on
You're not wrong, but at the same time I like seeing which abilities and skills are being used so I can keep track of when people have used up their limit breaks and shit.
>he didn’t get hit by any CC
Red is full of morons, the white magic should have shut you down as soon as you jumped on them
>Red is full of morons
That's Frontlines. I bet each match is determined by the performances of less than 8 players on each team. The rest are just fodder and meat shields.

Go teleport to South Shroud and look west.
A giant neurolink landed on it and it's fricked now. There's a pvp map there.
It's frickin shagged, m8. Dalamud bits hit there pretty goddamn hard.
I played 1.0 since beta, and there's nothing "home" about it. Anybody saying it was good or even better is just contrarians that never played it.
The only memorable thing was Dalamud looming above and getting closer each patch. The actual content itself was so sparse and heavily time gated (15 minute cooldown before you could reenter a dungeon for example) because they were biding their time until ARR's release.
>15 minute cooldown before you could reenter a dungeon for example
this is pretty standard for mmos.

You are now realizing how often they reuse character rigs.
Now you will also realize 90% of the bestiary of this game is lifted from FFXI, FFXIII trilogy, FF Type 0 and many more
They reuse armour models too
Which ones? even the XI ones you get out of doing Eureka/that one collab quest were remodelled for XIV
The ones that are already in the game.
I definitely don't recognize any armor sets that had their model directly lifted from another game. Other than Lightning's set (since 1.0 shared the same engine as XIII)
You lack reading comprehension.
They reuse armours that they made for FFXIV, they just call them differently or recolour them.
Don't look!
Thst just proof that giant toads are the ultimate life form
Would have beeen cool a chain tankbuster with sharing or grabbing a random healer for surprise aoe
No wonder why I hate that fricker then, I hate those Black person frogs so goddamn much
>Implying that if a model doesn't have a completely different set of animations, it isn't cool
WoW is the most egregious offender of reusing animations, wowtroony.
>Slime Rampant
I just hope that isnt the final boss of this tier and its just the phoinix
P8 is Lahabrea, the mount is probably Proto-Carbuncle.
I would like that but more the gremlin carbuncle as summon
Nah the mount will be Lahabrea himself. We ride around on his shoulders, or he carries female characters.
Princess carries?
Omega is the giant frog enemy rig
That cut to Lahabrea's crazy face at the end is so fricking slick.
I will always have the screenshots to remember the good old days.
Shadowbringers was only good in the beginning and the end. The middle (the most of the story) was shitty go there and get this gem filler. Combat gets increasingly easier and the dungeons become simpler as the game goes along. Tanks and Healers are too easy to be fun.
SOKEN IS SO FRICKING KINO!!!!!!!!
DURRRRRR
DANCING IN THE DRAINAGE OF THE SOUR POOP I WILL GO NOW IF YOU WANT TO THE KITCHEN TO MAKE YOU POOPIES I WILL DANCE COME WITH ME AND YOU'LL SEE A WORLD OF PURE IMAGINATION
I don't hate his compositions, but I do dislike his tendency to just add fricking vocal tracks to everything.
Also another thing I hear from this game that I very much notice that I never see other people complain about is just how fricking bad the actual use of motifs are? Everything just used so fricking haphazardly.
The only themes that actually gets somewhat consistent use throughout all fricking 6 expansions are the use of the maker's ruin motif for being WOL's theme and the FF3 map theme for being Graha's, the rest is just all over the fricking place. Like, the actual motif for the refrain for the final fricking boss is the same one that they use for the field theme for Sharlayan *and* Radz at-han. It's so fricking distracting. The sound team are just so fricking laissez faire with music that they'll just plop it into any scene based on the tempo.
To offer some meaningful criticism and not just kiss Sokken ass or behave like some demented freak screeching random poo poo pee pee words I agree that he overuses the same leitmotif. When you use it once or twice that has an emotional pull but when you recycle it for everything it starts to grow stale.
I like his music, but Uematsu did really great with Dragonsong and Answers. I think he's clearly better with classical/orchestral stuff while Sokken is firmly in a more modern fusion camp.
Also whoever did stormblood's anthem jobbed terribly. The lyrics are great, it can be used right (in the Shinryu fight the leitmotif is good). but the trailer's music is so boringly dry.
Pretty sure that was Uematsu
My problem is that he can't seem to decide what to stick the motifs' meaning to.
For the longest time, Answers was used alongside Bahamut, for multiple expansions, and I get that the lyrics were supposed to be sung from Hydaelyn's POV or whatever, but now in EW, we're supposed to thematically tie it to her as well as bahamut/the calamity?
Also, I talked about the use of the Maker's Ruin earlier, and I did like how ShB used the motif with More Than Truth, especially in scenes with Arbdert, but past a point, they just used it for stock generic sad music in shit that doesn't even pertain to WoL.
I get that you can only have so much music in a game, and I'm not asking for KH level, Nomura/Shimomura level of autistic teasing future character a game ahead via leitmotifs, but I expect at least a certain level of consistency in use.
Answers is the main theme of the whole game. It existed long before the End of an Era cutscene was made. It plays in Bahamut's fight because Coil is the epilogue to 1.0, not because it's Bahamut's theme.
well, I didn't know that from playing 1.0, but you can't blame me especially the way they used it not only for coils, but also stuff like that duty in the intro to Bozja, where you fight bahamut with cid and whatsername.
If anything, it just makes it more all over the place.
Problem more is hydaelyn theme of her bossfight and people pretending the music is better than zodiark when its a lame remix
I like that theme but that also pisses me off too. it starts off fine, that the big fricking chorus of it also takes that "our song of hope/she dances on the wind"etc motif that they've also used for the sharlayan theme and also used for Meteion.
Like, fricking pick one dude, what do you want this little phrase to represent? It's the same fricking thing where they played the ringwraith theme in the hobbit movies for the orcs for no other reason than it just "sounding epic" I guess. There's no fricking intent there.
I'm genuinely sad at this point that couldn't see 1.x continue instead. It feels like just about everything since ARR has been a massive mistake.
>I'm genuinely sad at this point that couldn't see 1.x continue instead.
We're reaching critical levels of contrarianism here folks, brace yourselves
I'm nowhere near the only person who thinks this way. There's a lot of people who really wish ARR wasn't a thing and we could have continued with the tight planning and storytelling of the 1.x versions.
>the tight planning and storytelling of the 1.x versions.
1.x's story is pretty much lost to time, so I can't really comment on its quality. However if you unironically think anything else about the way XIV launched in 1.x was ok, you're not right in the head
1.x definitely had a lot of good that was thrown out with the bad
The mistake was graha tia surviving endwalker
Big snake incoming.

>Heart of sabik = "just a macguffin in ultima weapon don't worry about it lmao"

I'm sure Sabik will tie into the Pandaemonium raid. Will probably be the big bad at the bottom who is mindfricking everyone into being evil.
So was there any truth to Soken faking his cancer, or was that a hoax?
Why is it bad? I’m enjoying the game so far, though I’m still in the ARR portion, overall it’s been good.
Warrior is fun, I enjoy tanking. Haven’t gotten shit on yet, unlike other MMOs, which is nice. I’m looking forward to unlocking Dark Knight, though the DPS classes look interesting too.
What DPS should I try out next? I have Summoner, Dragoon, and Monk to 30. Really want to try Samurai and Reaper, but that’s a bit for off.
I like Samurai, Dragoon and Black Mage.
>I’m enjoying the game so far
Then you're playing it wrong.
Am I supposed to be angry all the time?
You're on Ganker dude, if you unironically enjoy a game, you don't belong here.
oh my fricking god shut the frick up with this victim mentality it's insane how much Gankertards does this
Dilate. This isn't a board that entertains shills.
you should seriously consider getting another hobby. and touching grass. or just offing yourself.
Dragoon is fun at high levels but leveling one as your first DPS will make you want to have a nice day. Try Samurai instead later on.
That’s at level 50, right? Is it a fun leveling job?
Level 50 yeah but you just need to be level 50 to unlock it assuming you aren't on a free trial. At level 50 you're pretty feature complete and even have an AOE rotation early on whereas Dragoon is a fricking pain in the ass until like level 70ish.
Thanks again but I'm not new. I don't really care much for Dragoon. Very boring linear job.
Thanks guys. I'm not new though.
Frick off, falseflagging homosexual. I’m going to give you a forced gender reassignment.
Thanks. Not looking forward to DPS queues though.
Sorry! This isn't me. I'm actually not new.
I don't really give a shit, I'm not new and you gays are annoying.
This is the post of an incel chud.
Now that's a true twitard redditor post. Anything else from your vast vocabulary?
DPS queues aren't really that bad in the game.

How was it ruined?
the /vgGanker tards have arrived and now this thread will be filled with the same 3 memes over and over and over and over and over and over and over again
The main problem with FFXIV is that the content is always the same and has been since heavensward. You can guess with 99% accuracy what's going to be available in every expansion or every major patch. The only thing that changes are the locations and the story.
Occasionally they'll try something new just to make it not important in relation to the main paths of progression and then quickly abandon it.
>no Sun visible from the Moon
>Etheirys has visible sunlight on it

Did the devs just forget to add the Sun?
Suppsedly if you re in the moon you cant see the sun by some authistic degrees and astrophysicd but yes im dissapointed the teaser trailer walking into the light in the moon isnt in game even tgo i bet graha tia would steal that scene like saving alysae of getting fricked by a reicled mobster tail
>Proto-Carbuncle
Probably not, since they sell Carbuncle in the cash shop
the game has always been pretty sterile, but they just keep sanding down the edges and making it worse. there's never been an mmo that felt more similar to walking around a hospital or a mall than this one.
I really don't like people who play ffxiv. They always have a screw loose. I never understand why though.
The moment they made ARR the game died.

They said in the recent Hildi quest that he left the XIV dimension because he had business to attend to.
he left to go fight Jack in the next DLC for Stranger of Paradise
Frick that I don't want to fight him again either. Also no more Garuda, we've fought her like 5 times.
what is that?

LOL. bozja was shit, garlemald was shit, and asahi and his frick buddy zenos tempered all your nazi garleans and the empire is dead. seethe more fascist homosexuals.
A Garlean expansion would have made this game's population explode far more than even SHB. We honestly didnt even need SHB yet. It should have been:
>4.0: All Ala Mhigo, and actually fleshed out their plot and zones
>5.0: All Othard, including going to the actual capital there
>6.0: Garlean finale
And then we could start talking about otherworldly shit. Or skip all that and go to the new world.
no one cares about mhiggers, chinks, or fullblooded moron garleans. you can thank awful sb msq and banri oda for that shit. everyone saying ITS GETS BETTER IN DOMA is fricking poor weeb cope. yotsyu, asahi, gosetsu, hien were shit. kugane was shit.
It really seems like they just couldn't fricking wait for their Samurai-wanking Not Japan area
Holy hell the absolute fricking delusion in this post. Nobody fricking cares about Garlemald . If you think another dumbass liberation march story would have sold to more people than cool DRK man bisecting an angel and splitting the sky you are a dense motherfricker.
>liberation march
It would have been an invasion, not a liberation. Garlemald were not holding their own people under oppression, we could have been the ones dealing with civilian hostiles for once
shit taste LOL. im so glad we didnt get your moronic garlean expansion no one wanted. it would have been shit like endwalkers garlean arc. padding trash.
Invading Ottard would absolutely have been another liberation march, in your proposed Garlemald roadmap that shit wouldn't have been happening until 6.0.
You are the only one living in his own delusions.
Why are you seething?
the only people seething are people defending bozja and people pretending to be garleans. lol.

Yeah, he's lost it, ctrl+F bozja and you can see it's just literally him going on and on like a broken record.
It's one schizo going into a frenzy everytime someone mentions the garleans, he has been in these threads for a while.
theres no schizos. it one garlean grounded fantasy homosexual seething over his never expansion and the bozja guy attacking the contrarians/trolls who pretend they enjoyed bozja
I'm not the dude having a meltdown, he's clearly a moron. I just don't think basically doing Stormblood 2.0 immediately after the original Stormblood would have been good at all. The one thing I will say is that I think killing Varis off essentially offsceen was an atrocious waste of potential
and then zenos just sists in a chair lol what shit potential and the garleans homosexuals think theyre little never was expansion would have been great.
take meds
Garlean is the most requested playable race since forever
Its almost unfair how powerful XIV has grown, to the point where any negative threads are just seen as jokes for people to use as a second general for fun. They fricking won...
Well, why would I care if someone has a negative opinion of the story? I like it.
Well it’s not like there’s any better MMO currently.
holy shit was bozja awful. op the homosexual wanted more of that LOL. LOOOOOOOOOL.
>Muh grounded political story
bozja? bozja was dog shit.
>hien: go to bozja and help these hroths because i told you to
>misija/gabranth/mikoto
SHIT
>that ending
LOL.
you guys have shit taste.
I hope one of the shards that Emet said "may surprise is" is probably a very modern/advanced society, because time flows from the shards are different, they're probably like thousands of years ahead of the others.
Would be nice, especially since all we got out of Garlemald was 80s Boston.
sounds awful.
Yoship literally said in an interview that one of the shards could be Midgard.
While i doubt it will actually be FF7 Midgard, I fully expect that one of the future expansions is going to be heavily FF7 inspired, and that's why we have seen barely any FF7 collab content in XIV so far, despite the remakes.
>they started catering to storygays on ShB
lol?
garleans are boring trash when they made them 1 dimensional morons. expecting anything more from them is some severe cope. even the most interesting post sb garlean character is lyon and the rest of the 4th legion are fricking moronic trash.
>gabranth?
trash
>menecius
trash
>misija
trash
>Misija
Holy frick what a trainwreck
>some bad shit happened to my ancestors like 500 years ago so I:m gonna betray all my comrades, mindrape them, and LARP as my long dead ancestor to play at a power fantasy I built in my head
Jesus fricking Christ what an awful character.
Misija was 1000% right. The Bozjans are one of the most unsympathetic resistance forces I think I have ever seen
and youre forced along because hien asked you.
what a shit story. matsuno is a hack. as much as cid character is raped in that arc i rather he asked us instead. hien didnt do shit but send 2 ninjas.
I wouldn't call them unsympathetic so much as "completely undeveloped", we had like two scenes with them before Misija goes full scorched earth.
and the scenes you do see only support her criticisms of them
>our entire government system is build on a lie, and our current status quo before occupation was as bad or worse than Garlemald
This is then fixed with “Well, when I’m in charge, I’ll fix it!”
Worst part of this game is how they had to change the mechanics to force everyone to play the same, because so many people were too stupid to play it well. Now you literally CAN'T frick up or even do anything differently from the next player.
I would rather put up with a million shitters in roulette than be forced to perform on their level by the mechanics themselves
I don't know what class to play, I leveled RPR in Endwalker and it turns out I really don't like being in melee for things that matter
Now I have to level but I don't know what I can do to level other than POTD, roulettes and hunting logs
please god help
Leveling DPS is fricking ass
I know, I fricking wish I enjoyed healing/tanking
I leveled SCH to 90 in a fraction of time it takes to level BRD, it doesn't help that the worst leveling is actually earlier on and it only gets better 71 to 90 with extremely easy leveling in Boz land and the beast tribes actually giving some fricking XP.
Here I'm just sitting with my bard at 61 with a stick up my ass because queues for dungeons take so fricking long, command missions don't exist anymore and beast tribes at this range are still pitiful XP.
Can't wait to go grind some fricking HoH I guess.
I leveled all my jobs with just daily roulettes and beast tribes. Comfy two levels per day.
>No more FATE trains since the exp was nerfed
>Nobody runs DD anymore
>dungeon queue is still a nightmare
>PVP only gives decent exp for the bonus
>command mission system completely abandoned
just que with a friend on tank or healer bro
God I wish I had some fella babysitting me through the leveling dungeons for actual decent XP. It really is the best way by far.
60-70 is the roughest stretch for sure
Darklight is still the best endgame set
casting and healing yea. maming? shit helmet. aiming? pretty good, tank? monster can. whats scouting? aimming?
Us Monks don't get a whole lot of options for armor

Is it me or was WoW's combat better? Years ago I played the wrath of the lich king as a hunter and I remember sending my pet, laying down traps and shooting my bow felt very satisfying and solid, I get the feel FFXIV is much more 'floaty' granted I only played up to level 20, but I also played wow only to level 30 or so and used to enjoy it.
It's a bad sign if a 20 years old MMO has better gameplay
FFXI's combat is also better. It had to be dumbed down even harder than WoW's in order to beat their numbers of morons playing it
>Hold on, lemme change my clothes to cast this spell
no thanks
Yes, my point exactly. morons like you can't fathom gear with bonuses or specialized uses, you can only wrap your tiny brain around
>number go up
No I think having to gearswap is fricking gay
>Is it me or was WoW's combat better?
It is better, yeah. There's far more types of gameplay in WoW. In FFXIV 99% of the time you're just doing a damage rotation against 1 target; no real cc, boring as frick aoe, boring as frick utility, boring as frick movement abilities, etc.
Man why couldn't they reinvent the genre with an amazing combat system here. Kinds annoyed that this is the #1 MMO when others have been trying much cooler stuff like Tera Online, Blade & Soul or even Genshin Impact (which isn't actually an mmorpg most of the times but still counts)
>Man why couldn't they reinvent the genre with an amazing combat system here.
because YoshiP can't come up with ideas of his own.
xiv combat sucks dick lol, even mobile games have deeper gameplay these days.
WoW hasn't played like that for over a decade. Now compare it to modern WoW lol.
What's wrong with WoW's combat now compared to before? Bosses have only become more complex over time, and classes are far better now than they were for the first 4 expansions at least.
>Is it me
Yes.
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
are you gonna turn on zodiark stance?
bozjas story was so bad then they go diablo allaghans lol. awful. people using chink flu as an excuse should be ignored.
I havent go back after finishing endwalker story. Because like you said ff14 main hook is the plot, thats their big selling point and endwalker ending was good enough for me to stop without feeling like i wasted my time, in fact this is the first mmo i stopped playing because i felt like i "beat it"
I really wish they followed up with Gabranth, extremely wasted potential.
he would have been awful matsuno trash anyways.
>muh ideals
>this is better warrior of light
>let us fight for ideals
>he dies of his space cancer instead of you killing him.
>bozjans are bad too
holy shit the whole arc was trash. gabranth woldnt have saved shit. lyon carries the whole thing.
Next story should feature an ojousama Lalafell that has tall races getting on their hands and knees for her to use as stepping stools and shit.
Reminder, there's a reason as to why Yoshida didn't bothered to showcase the new PVP series reward armor, that's because they'll start reusing old shit from feast, otherwise he would have shown the armor like it did with the series 1.
You better start revving up those tear tissues if you are a feastcuck my dude, your "priviliged" armor will be no more.
i thought dataminers showed some cringe sam armor.
They showed that armor back in 6.0, it wasn't tied to PVP and even if it had been that armor Yoshida would have shown it in the live letter just like he did with the archfiend one.
all of these feel shitty to play
Fricking kaiten removal on SAM I will never ever forgive them

Go away Joker, World War 3 isnt until Halloween at the least
Yoshida literally came out with a statement saying they regret not doing a Garlemald expansion. They had basically heard feedback of people saying they don't like Zenos during SB, and took that as they don't like Garlean themed plot anymore.
Yeah, that showcases a lot.
Endwalker is pretty weak outside of the thavnair/Garlemald zones, the best moments of the expansion came during Garlemald and the second part of Thavnair.
Source?
Big if true
cope garleshitter. making shit up now. your last post had ishikawa saying it. dumb Black person
I hate storygays. They somehow are so stupid and uncultured that they can go on and on praising this moronic chosen one story.
>I hate the people that enjoy the ONLY meaningful content of the whole game
Why are you even playing then? go and play Lost Ark or wow, their story doesn't matter and it's like the last thing the devs on those games prioritize.
>I had a friend finish construction on a ship in Black Desert Online. Apparently it was a pretty long process so he was eager to show it off, so he streamed it a bit just for me. During this time he sailed around the large open world ocean, showed me how he could run special trade good quests, did some fishing, exploring, and a bit of naval combat, and then ended with a fight against a giant sea monster that involved a ton of other players also all showing up with their ships. He explained some of the mechanics for upgrading your ship, and told me there are artifacts that also give your ship miraculous abilities. One is an item so rare, only one person has it. His name is "e-girl_pirate" and ganks people all day. The community came together to try and defeat him, and they were routed. Everyone on the high seas lives in fear of his arrival.
>I had another friend show me FFXIV. He mentioned "ocean voyages" so, having the previous experience with BDO, I asked him to show me one. We had to wait 20 minutes before he was allowed onto the ocean. When he was, he didn't have his own ship, couldn't control the ship he was given, couldn't do any exploration, and couldn't engage in any combat. The only thing he could do was fish. It was just a few introductory cutscenes and then the ship sat static in an equally motionless blue blob that is apparently what the game considers water. Despite being on the boat with like 30 people, nobody talked to each other at all, not even once. The fishing consisted of pressing two buttons in sequence.

Stop playing on dead worlds.
What worlds are dead?
Name your world and I'll go into the "open" world and prove that it's just as dead.

i really dislike how the chausible turned out to be the starter sage gear. this was the outfit i used for endwalker MSQ until i got AF
FFXIV died back in 1.0.
Do you get anything from getting to the top on the jump puzzle???
You get a /clap from some ugly ass viera or catgirl and nothing else
sense of satisfaction
you get to dab on raid trannies
glad I stopped playing in 2014
Just cleared Tower of Zot, when does EW get good? So far it's been much less enticing than the start of ShB.
It doesn't
It doesn't, it's shit and you should stop playing.
>NOOOOOOO I NEED MY ISEKAI
just unsub already.
The Sharlayan part of the story was serviceable, it's just hampered by the fact that I really don't care for Alphy and Alisaie.

FRICK YOU SIRS I RAPE YOUR SISTER AND MOTHER IN SLEEP TONIGHT
Garlemald was the best part and it’s a tragedy how it just gets forgotten after you go to the moon
garlemalding. worst taste.
theres no pay off to the garlemald arc. quintus kills himself, julius is a shit character. asahi/zenos has no pay off. its just padding.
It has no narrative payoff but all those elements have thematic importance.
honestly about half way through Garlemald. Right after you "go down into a subway" without spoilers.
You are playing the "good" part, then it gets even worse.
HW > SB > EW > SHB > ARR

Holy fricking contrarian. SB was the biggest snoozefest ever.
Lol shadowbab spotted. SB is a vastly better expansion, the only thing SHB had going for it was dead grandpa that morons who worship him still fail to understand.

Go to sleep Barry
I lost all enthusiasm for the game when they
>removed cross class skills
>simplified gameplay
>abandoned any plans for world pvp
It became a dogshit dress up sim in which people pay a monthly fee to afk in crowded towns where barely anyone speaks.
It's not even an mmorpg anymore and is now designed for the lowest common denominator
So 5 years ago? So why should I care about your opinion again?
>plans for world pvp
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Yes, I'm saying the game died years ago. A friend bought me the expansions and it's all more of the same lame quests and cutscenes with a few fun dungeons/bosses inbetween. Squeenix is making bank on homosexuals and furries who have no intention of playing an actual mmorpg, so they're the ones being catered to.
XIV is a casual MMO, most of its content is incredibly casual, easy to digest and to clear, with a large chunk of that even being completely social - Housing, Gold Saucer minigames, etc.
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
It's not really social as everyone just lurks in their FC chat, link shell or discord. All the major towns are just people emoting while they rp in private. Nobody speaks.
Meanwhile, I can hop onto anywhere in OSRS and strike up a conversation with complete strangers
If anything, ffxiv has devolved into a containment game.
I see people chatting all the time I'm Gridania but alright.
Yet every time I'm longer than five minutes in a city I get blasted with events and social gatherings
maybe i'm just jaded or wise to the limsa/goldshire ERP orgy nonsense but i simply do not trust anyone's intentions during those social gatherings.
>get invited to CWLS by a friend, starts out fine everyone is having a good time, just an outlet to chat with each other while we play
>people keep joining but things are mostly okay for the first month or so
>eventually one or two people decide to start doing light cringey RP stuff
>apparently since no one outright objected to this it gave the signal that behaving like a horny degenerate was cool and the LS devolves into an endless stream of ERP homosexualry
I don't blame you.
When did they even promised or worked towards world pvp? it doesn't seem that there was any plans for world PVP at all.
Yoshi mentioned at a Q&A that it was something they were looking into before heavensward. They realized the paypigs had no interest in pvp, so it was abandoned.
delicious Midlander boys
World pvp is shit anyways and your failure to understand why it would be particularly awful in XIV is hilarious.
>NOOO THERES NOT WPVP AND PEOPLE ARENT RAIDING 24/7 THIS MMO IS FRICKING DEAD
It is fricking dead according to everyone who only cares about one very specific thing and ignores/rages about the existence of all the other content. If they;'re not being dickridden by the devs they always cry and whine.
>there so much to do
>you can go to the gold saucer and afk for 15min to do a shitty GATE!
>or you could go and grind old content that is 10years old!
So any mmo out there.
>look guys i'm ignoring a bunch of other things to try to convince you the game is bad, why aren't you listening to meeeeeeeee?!
Please tell me about some stuff there's to do that lasts more than a few hours that isn't 5+year old content.
>the WoWgay is utterly incapable of understanding evergreen content because it's "not new content".
If you'll pardon me, I have to go fertilize my garden and prep for island sanctuary.
I'm still waiting for you to give some examples. And I really hope you're not suggesting "do achievements like kill 1000 S-rank hunts!" is good content.
I find it interesting that your stipulations for providing examples has arbitrary restrictions, almost like you don't want to actually hear examples and any provided will be dismissed out of hand.
Still waiting, you said there was SO MUCH to do. Yet you can't give a single example?

>dismissed it out of hand
THERE IT IS DOOD
i mean it's true that most of what passes for content in xiv are extremely dull chores. about the only fun thing to do is morbol raiding and it's one and done
except chores are mandatory. none of those things he listed are mandatory
by that definition nothing in a game can be a chore since you can simply turn 360 degrees and walk away from the game at any time
>the braindead chores are optional so it's good content
kek
>they're not optional so they are lumped in with good content
i can do that too homosexual
Braindead chores are bad content whether they're "mandatory" or not.
the underlying issue here is, and you are arguing against this knowing full well that it is exactly the case, that 'good' is subjective. by positioning yourself as the arbiter of the definition of good, you can thus dismiss anything that you don't deem sufficient.
this is why no one with a lick of sense will continue to engage with you. but i do admire your drive from them (you)s. keep it up
>the underlying issue here is, and you are arguing against this knowing full well that it is exactly the case, that 'good' is subjective. by positioning yourself as the arbiter of the definition of good, you can thus dismiss anything that you don't deem sufficient.
Yes, media analysis is subjective. Stunning deduction.
>post stuff that is not 5+ year old content
>only posts stuff that has been in the game for over 5+ years and that anyone that have played the game for a tiny bit have already done
Did you even read my post?
You are seriously posting "Gardening" as content when it's literally clicking a button to put down a seed and then wait 1-7days.
The only content here that is even vaguely fun are trials and arguably pvp. Everything else is vapid minigame farm content that involves almost zero meaningful player engagement.
Deep dungeons is hard (eventually), but extremely unfun.
>The only content here that is even vaguely fun are trials and arguably pvp.
and raids too, I almost didnt see them there.
>firmament fetes
Are you for real? Is this what FFXIVtrannies actually think pass for good and meaningful content?
That's how these people always respond. They demand examples while listing their personal opinions on what is and isn't content so they can reject everything you list. And they're incapable of simply telling others "I only care about X or Y content and hate doing anything else", they always have to be passive-aggressive and argue the way they do for attention.
Yea I gave up on posts like that because its always
>that doesn't count because I don't like it
It's not so much because I "don't like it", and more that the content asks literally nothing of the player. It's like they designed it all for toddlers. You can find more engaging experiences in flash browser games.
just because you find it easy doesn't mean its not content
Right, but it does make it braindead content, considering literal children's games offer more of a challenge.
>right, but it does make it moving the goal posts. literal children can argue better than i can
ftfy
I haven't moved any goalposts. I don't know what other spergs you've been arguing with, but this has been my position the entire time.
>there is no content
>list of content appears
>thats not real content because its too easy
>it being easy doesn't mean its not content
>braindead content doesn't count
Who are you quoting?
this guy
Frick you
Then go play your moronic little baby games, homosexual
Be more obvious with your samegayging, please. You seriously listed Firmament fetes as meaningful content and ignored me when i asked for you to post content that is not 5+years old.
Anyone that have been playing the game for a bit has already done all that shit you listed. Most of it is not even 1h or content.
>samegayging
Which poster am I supposed to be?
it works
Not that anon, but FFXIV's casual content is more braindead than actual children's games like Zelda. No one enjoys doing it.
The funniest shit is that almost every MMO has abandoned the idea of world PVP, even World of warcraft world PVP is a abandoned already, no one does world pvp IN THE WORLD OF WARCRAFT, fricking hilarious.
mostly because it doesn't work with modern players
>most people are casuals who don't want to get set back by someone killing them, even if its a one off
>most of the people that actually want WPvP just want gank shitters that cant fight back and then inevitable cry about "muh carebears" when everyone quits because they got sick of not being able to play
i mean fricking look at what happened with classic, some of the PvP servers straight up became PvE ones purely because people got ganked so often they all quit or transferred off so they could actually play the game
Most old school MMOs didn't have wpvp, not every game was DAoC.
i whole heartedly agree, anon. rather than play Final Fantasy XIV Online: Endwalker, i'm more excited for World of Warcraft: Dragonflight!
What's with xiv players using wow as a boogeyman all the damn time?
that's basic competition rules bro
Yeah and it's painfully obvious to anyone who isn't a moron who gobbles up contrived anime subplots and resolutions, like Zodiark is basically the entire baddie the entire time and then some contrived bullshit happens in the post-ShB patchnotes to be like :^) oh wait no there's more shit happening that's masterminding it, largely from the ambiguity of the 'end of days' bullshit from Amaurot, which is literally the easiest shit to write on the fly and also conveniently gives the mystery homies an emotional background so people can go muh feels. Then gays who love FFXIV pretend like it's some intricate thing that's been hinted at all along. People who came into FFXIV intrigued by a middle fantasy story about races and tribes uniting against big bad empire ended up with the cringiest storyline ever that is somehow critically acclaimed.
The real redpill is realizing that the game is as autistic as you want it to be when it comes to content. It just doesn't force you to with mandatory autism.
GARLEAN LARPERS SHILLS STILL ASSBLASTED. HAHAHAHAHHA
I like how flashy the trials are
I ask this every time I see people complain about XIV: What other MMO is good out there? And no, "all mmos suck" is not an answer. Some people like to play MMOs, and if you are interested in that market XIV is in my opinion the best option.
Oldschool Runescape is better than ffxiv
Runescape is even more of a normalgay game than ffxiv
See ya next year!

No, that's in 7.1

Remember us. Remember that we once lived… Also remember to watch out for that crazy guy Fandaniel. His pet bird caused the final days. I was there with my good friend Hythlodaeus and we ran into you because you got sent to the past by our good friend Elidibus. We went there to meet our good friend Hermes and his pet bird. Hermes's bird was capable of destroying entire planets because she had emotion energy, a concept so advanced only Hermes and an elephant knew it existed. Hermes was going to let the bird destroy our planet because he wanted to do an experiment. And then he was going to memory wipe all of us until Venat flew in on her magical dog and escaped with you. She then for some reason decided not to tell anyone about what happened and instead doomed us all to die, including our good friend Azem who fell into a Volcano while trying to find the source of the noise even though Venat knew all along because she put a magic microchip on Hermes’s bird. She then became Hydaelyn and sundered the world because a bunch of weak humans who die after 80 years were better equipped to deal with the threat than immortal gods who could create whatever they wanted at will. Except the only “human” that could actually stand up to Meteion was 9/14ths of our good friend Azem who also needed Hydaelyns blessing to survive along with my great-grandson Zenos Viator Galvus who had Hydaelyns blessing too, except his was reverse-engineered in a Garlean laboratory. And he was a good friend.

I'm so glad garlemald is over. you will never ever get an expansion. I bet the corvois arc is just a friendly imperial unit far from the empire and evil cat homosexualry.
EW is so bad that fans wrote a better story

frick off homosexual zodiark trance Hispanic gave us content for a week before 6.2 reveal. bless him.
MMOs have shitty gameplay by design, focusing on story is the only reason FFXIV is any good.
It suprise me how people like the story gameplay of the game to be braindead like straight braindead tier of you not even knowing how to play the game.
Yeah...I hate it. I had to admit to myself the game was over after EW. I just can't bring myself to resub. Theres no reason to play any one dps over the other, no reason to pick any particular tank, or healer because of the homogenization of the classes. Its been made easier and easier for the lowest comon denominator and...here we are. It was fun while it lasted and I have lots of great memories from the game. Still hate stormblood though. Simple as.
MMOs really need better competition. The bar has been set so low devs don't even try anymore.
no actual/ff11-tier blue mage, no play. simple as

That's when all of my enthusiasm for the game died. Haven't logged in since.
>most of the events are focused on celebrating trannies
How exactly do you do that? Were they offering free dick choppings or what?
There was probably a sole troony announcer or something who made a passing statement about trans rights and that anon took it as a cue to be victimized.
>She/They
>They/Them
>They/She
4 out of 8 are Au Ra, were the stereotypes true?
Yes 100%.
no lalas either. interesting
she/they is what women who aren't actually part of the alphabet brigade but want to be part of it call themselves. because peer pressure/threat of ostracizing
Not so fast:
aww frick. oh well. lalafell are certainly underrepresented then
Yeah, the other Lala I saw was toward the bottom. Most of the normal ass frickers with "He/Him" pronouns were shunted to the bottom of the list.
Yep. Also, at least one of the announcers that they had on was using the troon voice. You know when they are clearly a guy trying to sound like a forty year old woman?
I hate the sound of that, it's so grating and actually hurts to listen to
wtf is he/they
I thought you can pair them accordingly like he/him
you can mix up whatever you want can I be he/she?
>you can mix up whatever you want can I be he/she?
Sure. Notice the ones that say "Any" on there?
yes, gender is just zodiac shit to these people, except they can pretend they're whatever they want
>wtf is he/they
A normal heterosexual male who wants to be special too.
i identify as HE/HAS NO STYLE
I never got the He/Him and He/They shit. Him is implicit when He is involved and They applies to literally everyone ever. Everything after the / is pointless and I don't like it. I also get annoyed at the word "polyamory" though because it should be multiamory or polygamy. Basically my big problem with SJWs is they're bad at words
The pronoun bullshit is pointless to begin with, as its how you refer to someone when they're not present.
They're demanding you kneel even when they're not there.
It's because their lives revolve around social media and they expect people to be talking about them 24/7.
Never heard that. Any examples?
I know he was on the opening ceremonies.
Is it that text to speech robot voice men use to pretend to be women when vtubing?
No, it's literally a guy trying to sound like a woman, and failing. Like if you wanted into a Target and the person checking you out had purple hair, a butterfly beret, and a five o'clock shadow, that is what they would sound like.
Ah so just a guy trying to sound like a husky woman or something? I understand.
no, they're referring to a man poorly imitating a woman's voice. voice training can make barry white sound like a little girl, but as usual these individuals don't actually want to put in the work and just want the trophy without the training
>voice training can make barry white sound like a little girl
Proof? I have never heard a troony that sounds any more feminine that a flamboyant gay man.
>fem aura
evry time
Goddamn this community makes some good shit sometimes
So, none of them are actually women, huh.
The only actual women I've met who play FFXIV have babies/toddlers that they they have to be home taking care of.
>shenpai attention whoring event
Oh now it all makes sense. Imagine having the privilege of getting any ultimate group whenever and STILL CRYING BECAUSE WAAAHHH PEOPLE CLEARED IT ONE DAY EARLIER THAN ME IM SO BAD WAAAAAHHH holyvshit I hate this b***h so much. Pure social media brainrot personified.
Dilate in endless torment
Holy molly, america is RUINED.
Do venues even exist that aren't troony-centric? Every single club advertisement I see says "LGBTQ+" somewhere in the ad.
Nope, it's all been overrun.
I saw one a few weeks ago thay said "cis/hetero friendly!" and I laughed because that's honestly the point FFXIV has reached.
Finally get a level 70 WAR, and dungeons are boring. I want to go back to DRK where the closer I am to dead the more alive I feel, also more damage.

Actually a terrible game
Weird this expansion isn't going to have a deep dungeon, The Moon will be perfect for it
Uhm bro? Did you read the roadmap?
Don't care, still having fun with it. 7 years running
I must break you.
Played since Heavensward. You're wrong and just a moronic tourist.
poopnose bros where we at
Post cute lalas
>Anime shit.
Yes we know, you hate beautiful woman and only accept woman with men body
>bug-eyed furgay monsters
>beautiful women
I mean, whatever floats your boat dude.
The game has been getting both better and worse since the actual very first patch (frick you, auto attack is dumb) but it generally got better until it hit an overall quality peak in 3.51 and ever since it has been declining until now in patch 6.1 it is the worst it has ever been, and people who defend or praise it now are only outing themselves as having shit taste and not being worth listening to.
You mean 4.3 🙂
Nah. Stormblood had some good to it, but the 4.0 job changes coupled with the shit MSQ and Eureka taking as long as it did to get good still leave it below peak HW
>people who defend or praise it at any point as ever having been better/good are only outing themselves as having shit taste and not being worth listening to because FFXIV like all MMORPGs has always been irredeemable garbage by design.
ftfy
I hate americans and their degenerate culture so much its unreal
It was doomed from the moment they botched Heavensward, hard.
holy FRICK it's time for KORKINO https://streamable.com/8fibgb
Does anyone else model their character on other FF characters?
I just made a cute catgirl and look at her panties whenever an outfit affords me the ability to do so. The green tomestone level 90 caster Rydia outfit is great for this.
no but I always model most of custom character on Cynthia from Pokemon (blonde hair and black outfit)
I have a bunch of 14 clones but you can easily make the Type-0 cast thanks to the hairstyles
If I had the Cloud hairstyle I'd make my SAM Crono from CT.
