How do I get into fishing? Like actual fishing in the game.
I just ocean fished to level cap.
I at least did the quest line up through stormblood if I remember right.
You just go to a fishing hole and start filling out your log.
Do you like going after a fish with a 27 real life days cooldown and five minute window for a CHANCE the game will give you the fish you want even when you use the right bait and right skills? Just be true to yourself here.
Part of fishing is trial and error, then sharing that information with other fishers.
This part is only when a new update comes out.
All that's left once information is shared and figured out is the rng which
explained.
It can be kind of fun to solve something if you're doing it in a cutting edge style but if you just wait til everything is figured out then it's simply gacha pulls and it's up to you to decide if that's fun or not.

kind, and man did they drop the balls this expansion.
6.0 had some stuff you could sell that were used for recipes for foods, but the way they made aethersand so fricking easy to get with FSH by putting it with the underwater fishing AND make the system less tedious completely killed the market since everyone could do it.
Now stacks of 99 just sell for pennies...
Fortunatelly there's still some ARR fishies worth going for because of the cosmetic stuff you get from desynth them but even those sell slowly since a lot of people are going for them now.
They're probably afraid to make FSH super good because of bots
Just make valuable fish harder to get. Bots still and 2 click nodes on MIN and BTN to got valuable shit.
Unless you mean just mindless botting to sell 10 gil fish until the bots rich enough to sell the gil from.

never
it's shit
It’s an AoE skill. Simply use it when you’ve got a big group of enemies bunched up
It's only useful when there's 3 or more enemies, I think past that you're better off with the shotgun or autobow
When you've got a big group and the only other aoe you have left is the shotgun.
When all of the following conditions are met
>You're fighting 3 or more enemies
>Bio blaster is on CD for the next 10 seconds
>You aren't in danger of overcapping battery or heat
>You can stay still for the entire duration to get all 11 ticks of damage
That last one is important, you need to get the entire duration to make it worth it. I think you might also need to delay for wildfire-autocrossbow but I don't remember too clearly what the rule was there.

Is this the worst content drought we ever had? It seems like none of the things the introduced really took off.
Also, as unpopular as this opinion is, I feel the Savage shit (barring Ultimate, that can be as hard as it wants) is too difficult. Or maybe just too annoying, but a lot of people who have raided in the past just can't be bothered any more me included. Did the previous Savage tier and the fights were just exhausting at some point, I didn't give two shits about the loot and I was more happy to be finally done for the week. Feel the same about Criterion.
worst content drought was in ShB. Or maybe even 3.1
so nah
If it's not the worst it's still certainly rivalling the 3.1 drought. At least during the 5.2-5.3 delay we had Bozja to occupy us.
This isn't a content drought, the patches are on schedule and have the content in them that they planned. This is them listening to the wrong people and swapping out good content (bozja even though it was unfinished) with bad content (Island, Criterion).
As far as the Savage Tier goes it's not difficult at all, it's actually boring because of how easy it is and that's why people can't be bothered to go back in and do more of it. If you think it's too hard then maybe hard content isn't for you.
>If you think it's too hard then maybe hard content isn't for you.
That is fair. I just don't know what happened with EW, but the combat has gotten incredibly stale and annoying to me. i have raided in every other expansion, but for some reason I just stopped having fun with this expansion. Maybe the streamlining of jobs has gotten too bad or something about the encounter design rubs me the wrong way.
>Maybe the streamlining of jobs has gotten too bad or something about the encounter design rubs me the wrong way.
Combat got streamlined to an absurd level and fights rely a lot of puzzle solving this time around.
Not that anon but I do think savage this tier has been a lot more annoying, like so many unforgiving mechanics where if one person dies you're going to wipe regardless.
>Combat got streamlined to an absurd level and fights rely a lot of puzzle solving this time around.
Personally that's the thing I dislike the most about the game now.
It has become very tiring to do stuff like last floor savage, let alone Ultimates.
Our skill kit is easy to use meanwhile the fights went to 4D chests that ask you for complete focus all the time.
It make me miss HW's Creator so much...
There is a reason why the splatoon plugin took off the way it did. They honestly overplayed their hand and more and more people can't be bothered to engage with more and more arcane puzzle fights. So they opt out or use addons to solve the mechanics for them.
It took iff because SHB made the modding and add-on scene explode in popularity while the game simultaneously got a ton of wowfugees. 5.3 alone did more damage to XIV than 3.1 could ever have hoped to achieve.
I don't mean that to be rude but yeah, this tier has been a little boring compared to the past few and people burned out quickly. They also added a slight twist to P8 and a specific mechanic in P4 in terms of how the mechanics are handled and people REALLY have trouble with it, Devour actually scrambles peoples brains, lots of people were filtered and just swore off this tier. Another thing to keep in mind is both of the ultimates in this expansion have been absolute ball busters and that has ground down a number of raiders.
That's cool and all but it's the fundamentals they've fricked up. The Island Sanctuary has limitless potential and yet they gave it zero content, you can play the crafting market but that takes maybe 60 seconds of your day and there is nothing else to do. This isn't a question of them trying and being off the mark, they gave us nothing. Criterion content wise is really fun but they've managed to give people zero reason to want to do it more than once or twice just to say you were there.

>The Island Sanctuary has limitless potential and yet they gave it zero content
Yeah... just give people a medium plot with a farm house to decorate and use furniture on. Also, why does your gathering/crafting not matter at all? Also, if they want to ape comfy Animal Crossing, let us invite NPCs to the island.
Yes I want to have sexy beach adventures* with Y'shtola on a lonely island.
*breeding her to motherhood
The absolute pinnacle of stupidity in my eyes is that they didn't put in any sort of minigames or co-op content on the Island.
>Pretty much first question that came up after they announced Island Sanctuaries was "Will we be able to invite npcs to hang out in there?"
>Yoshi just said a vague uhhh we'll take that interest into consideration.
>Probably translated into how every few milestones you'll get a cutscene with X and Y npcs visiting and commenting on the place.
Stop fricking play coy Yoshida you know perfectly well what everyone meant by inviting npcs to hang out. It wasn't just a couple cutscenes once per character.
>Devour actually scrambles peoples brains, lots of people were filtered and just swore off this tier.
I don't think this is a good thing to be honest. If people who did Savage in the past stop because it got too much of a hassle to deal with, then it is no fun or too hard or a combo of both. Ultimates can be as hard as they want, but making Savage too obnoxious is a bad move.
That's the thing though, it's not a hard mechanic it's just presented in a more unique way. I've watched quad legends repeatedly frick up the mechanic in farm parties because somehow their minds cannot comprehend what's going on, it's mystical and I cannot explain it. I've seen some of my casual friends nearly meltdown over it and actually give up on the tier, even more had the same response to P8 which itself presents mechanics in a different light and that too fricks people up mentally.
I personally think it's fine and fun, my issue with this tier is P6 being a punching bag and P7 being 90% nothing.
>That's the thing though, it's not a hard mechanic it's just presented in a more unique way.
That really doesn't help it. If all the difficulty is them obscuring mechanics more and more it is natural for people to become frustrated if they can't grasp it. Tbh, I have given up on SE getting any good midcore combat content and EW Savage just isn't for me, glad I am not the only one.
Tbf, this is content they're just now implementing for the first time. Shit's rough yeah but it's not like it can't be improved on.
I really want those stupid mammets gone from my island though.
people forget the original Diadem being fricking awful.
It took a while to get Eureka and Bozja, and both of those had/have their own myriad of issues
>Or maybe just too annoying
I've always thought that Savage is annoying as frick but not really thanks to the content itself and rather that your average savage raider/player in general has rocks for brains. I just can't be bothered dealing with that shit but if they just remove the hard enrage timers I would still play it since I would be able to drag even most moronic of players over the finish line as long as I can keep them out of the orange
I hate bingers so fricking much.
>wah there's no content
>except all this content I'm doing doesn't count because wah
SHB as a whole killed this game, you get what you fricking deserve.
Extremes and ultimates are not content. Wish there was multiple variations of Normal modes to keep the encounters fresh, but nope.
>Extremes and ultimates are not content
Post lego titles or im just assuming you don't consider ultimate content because its too hard for you.
>It seems like none of the things the introduced really took off.
Exactly. It's not really a content drought. They tried to deviate from the usual formula for once and completely fricked up at everything besides raiding.
At least Criterions can be salvaged down the line if they come up with good rewards. Island Sanctuary needs a significant overhaul and the removal of mammets.
The only thing I'd say that's lacking content wise is the relics, even a shitty fate farm would be better than the literally nothing it's been so far.
It's interesting to see that yeah, this isn't a content drought at all really, what's happened is that they've introduced a bunch of content no one wants to do because it's bad.
There isn't a lack of things to do exactly it's just that what's on offer doesn't feel worth doing. It's shallow, boring content and everyone wishes they would have just done the same thing they did the last two expansions.
Also lmao at all the people who begged for a Mythic+ style dungeon system, and what we got was Criterion and nobody wants it. Just an amazing waste of resources.
>Also lmao at all the people who begged for a Mythic+ style dungeon system, and what we got was Criterion and nobody wants it.
Yes, here present! I hate criterion so much it is unreal. Reusing older (especially ARR) dungeons for a M+ system in XIV would have been so good.
>and what we got was Criterion and nobody wants it. Just an amazing waste of resources.
Criterion was ok but no rewards feel like waste of time.
>ZOOM ZOOM YOU NEED REWARDS TO DO STUFF? LOLOLOLAMOAKOAA
This is a fricking RPG you play for the fricking rewards. Now THIS is not always the case. You can play for the fun but guess what and why even without rewards people didn't want to do criterion? Because the fricking gameplay IS NOT FUN. That's the fricking answer. It's just a straight fact. The game is not fun and that's why people don't play it for the sake of it.
xiv can try all it likes to make an m+ style system but it will never work
m+ is fun because it highlights the strengths of wows gameplay. fast, responsive, tons of moments for your specs unique attributes to stand out, every single run is familiar yet different
wow is a game that you can put some music on and then enter a flow state just gaming
xiv has absolutely none of these qualities to its gameplay and never will
>Is this the worst content drought we ever had?
All of 2022 for Shadowbringers was NOT fun thanks to development of FFXVI in the background and Endwalker getting pushed back.
Also 3.1 to 3.2 was SIX MONTHS of nothing and they badly suffered for it in player numbers, the game was almost shitcanned a second time around then.

>complaining about people having grievances with the game
More like shit attempts at doomposting. These morons genuinely believe that a bozja zone would have saved the reason why they feel burned out or a relic grind of "do the new content 15x time :)" would make them suddenly have fun. Let me explain how bozja and eureka worked on release
>content is out
>you do the story required for the zone
>casual morons leave the moment they are done with the story section
>people complain about having to do fates
>content only last 3-6 hours
Also Eureka would be a better example then shitfest bozja, because it had soul. There are so many god damn shbabby that think bozja and eureka was 1 single patch update.
I have been playing since ARR and I don't think anyone called for an Eureka/Bozja zone? The main issue is that the content they gave in EW either is really fringe (Ultimates), didn't take off (Criterion) or is just way too casual. The new DD is also really lukewarm also. That leaves very little combat content for people to engage with (Extremes) and the only really fun one we have gotten was Barb. There is just very, very little in terms of combat going on right now and I don't think calling people names for pointing it out is very honest.
Don't forget people b***hing about content drought in SB between Eureka, HoH, and a new Ultimate. That was something, and makes me wonder if anyone here even posted during ARR-SB days.
>7.0
Could go anywhere and I don't think we'll have an idea until 6.58. Golbez will probably die next patch before he can tell us why he's doing what he does.

>Do lv70 job quest
>next one isn't until lv80
What.
Job quests are now role quests, separated by role and damage type for the DPS jobs.
Same shit with crafters and gatherers, with crafters being arbitrarily grouped, miner and botanist being the same, and only fisher maintaining it's own quests
So a job quest just becomes a rare thing after this point?
That's weird
welcome to post-stormblood expansions where you get less and worse content.
Shadowbringers and its consequences for FF14 are terrible.
There are too many jobs for them to do separate questlines for each of them every expansion now, so in Shadowbringers they made Tank/Healer/Magic/Physical questlines instead, tied more directly into the new areas and main story, and with a capstone quest for doing them all. Endwalker expanded Physical to Phys Ranged and Melee, but is the same idea.
Frankly I'm not against it because most of the class/job quests have always sucked, either because they're boring, lazy or just stupid. A smaller number of higher quality additions is good. And it encourages players to level a job of every role.
Some job quests were getting stretched pretty thin. PLD was the worst offender, having to go back to fricking Gladiator content after the dumpster fire that was the HW PLD quest.
You say that like it's a bad thing, but more Mylla is always good.
>but more Mylla is always good.

Why are Euro players so autistic? No banter, way too many text emojis (thanks Germans,) and most people are just generally boring to hang around with.

>free 96 hours of game time
Do they always do this a month before every major patch?
I feel like I wasted so much sub money until I figured this out. I didn't even notice years before.
Seems to happen pretty consistently. And if you have no interest in raiding, you can literally play through all the new content and MSQ for free, thanks to EW's lack of content.
It's like two-three times a year, and I think it's not usually this long

So is 7.0 just updating the environment or are they overhauling weapon/armour texture as well?
gear is supposedly on the update list but I don't know how extensive it'll be
Gold Saucer shit might never get touched again
They are touching character models though, right, not just the textures and shaders. Because they REALLY need to update the hands and feet in this game, hands especially
Ps4 limitations, prease understand.
>gear is supposedly on the update
Good news everyone, we completely remove Miqo'te eat pockets or any tail accommodations for the ARR gear!
Femhroths everyday brings me closer to their existance
Im going through eureka and this is the first time i've felt like im actually playing an MMO in a while. Why did people hate this again? Also the level design is way better than literally every other zone in the game, what the frick happened?
If you mean Anemos, then I have some bad news for you, the level design only gets worse. As for why people hate it, the vocal FFXIV player base doesn't actually like MMOs, which is why they shit on Eureka/Bozja and defend IS.
Im about to move into Pyros and i still loved Pagos. It amazed me seeing people complain about the ledge caves and the dragons, i thought the zone was memorable as frick because of shit like that. The use of weather in these zones is on point too.
the anon is full of shit yes. pyros isn't as interesting as pagos but it still has that narrow ice path and a ledge back to the starting zone when you circle around, among other things. the only boring map is hydatos because it's literally just a completely flat marshland but it does have unique map-wide events due to being tied to starting a baldesion arsenal raid
this is what se is capable of if they hadn't fricking added flying to the game

Surely, once FFXVI comes out and the money goes directly to yoship's studio will we see Endwalker retconned and have a proper 6.0.
Flying should only be allowed if there are umbral/astral winds present.
endwalker was fine storywise
i would be more mad about losing skills and sage being boring 2 button play most of the time.
endwalker was ""fine"" but they could really made a lot more to strecht and polish the story a lot more. It feels way too fast compared to anything before even stormblood i say.
>fujo gets sent to work on xvi
why do people keep on saying this shit
at least make it believable like fujo gets sent to xvii
>left with a shoestring budget
this has always been the biggest cope of FFXIV fans. There's no shoestring budget on the game and you should know that by now when they post ads on time square and with spiderman's actor
FFXVI started during heavensward so stormblood would have been the expansion that suffered from it, arguably did on the story front since the HW writer left and Ishikawa/Oda picked up after him and released a broken story. otherwise shb and ew have nothing to do with FF16, the only lead they lost was the art director of SB and ShB who is now FF16's art director.
So would you say Anemos is the best Eureka zone?
anemos and pagos are about the same
Awful taste
What's the best server on Aether?
When is the plot going to start? 6.0 is halfway over already.
Theres no fricking way they can keep stalling the plot now that the fiends are gone so hopefully 6.4 has some meat on it.
When they drop the trailer at Fanfest.
6.4 is the end of the Void story, and will drop a small teaser for 7.0 before we get to 6.5.
I hope whoever thought of limited jobs has a miserable existence.

I bought the game in 2015 and played it for the free month it came with. I saw the shit about Stormblood so I relogged in and saw SE generously gave me like 4 whole days of login for free.
I'm now too old to poopsock MMO and would rather just slowly play mostly solo shit and leveling. How hard do the limitations frick you? Not being able to use the AH seems pretty bad and I see there is a gold cap, but I don't know how much 300k actually is. Also, there's no way to convert my paid account that I'll never buy a sub for to free trial, right?
Nope, once you go paid you can never go back. 300k should be enough for most purposes as you go through the main story quest and do solo levelling.
It seems like a fricking weird choice to give people what is essentially the Starter Edition for free, but with the added benefit of no sub. Unless I'm missing it, the content from what I purchased in 2015 seems identical to what is completely free, except free has the restrictions.
Pretty much, yeah.
Saw some guy review the free trial and he has he did everything he could but took a while to get his zodiac weapon as he had to craft the materias which took him the longest as he couldn't buy them off the marketboard.
free trial limits are no big deal at all for just going through the story and levelling your jobs.

VOID ARK BROS
OUR TIME WILL COME
I fricking wish they made the Void Ark series mandatory, but the Redbills are too based for MSQ.
I mean they always could still depending on what happens. Mhach series doesn't even have all the pain in the ass prereqs like Crystal Tower either so theres even less of an excuse.

how do you remember your Mudra?
Remind yourself that the one that dictates what spell do you actually shit out is the last one.
The abilities have multiple combos, but each combo ends with the same mudra. Just remember the last one.
I just remember the mudra as 1-2-3, and the ninjutsu are number combinations.
1-2 thunder
2-1 fire
2-3 turbo shuriken for use with pink flower and never otherwise
3-1-2 ground dot
3-2-1 fast
1-2-3 for trick attack / balaclava gauge
Leylines is 3-1-2 for aoe, 1-2-3 for single
And it's all just muscle memory, I don't actively know what I'm doing, I just do it.
It's actually 1-3 for hyosho ranryu but yeah that's how I remember it I guess
The best way is to just sit at a dummy and remember 1-2 is raiton(lightning), 3-2-1 is huton(haste), 1-2-3 is suiton(water buff for trick attack button), 3-1-2 is doton(earth puddle dot) and 2-1 is katon(fire aoe) etc etc...like the other Anon was saying
I would set the buttons up next to each other in a 123 formation ten-chi-jin so you can remember the order as you practice
It's really not that hard and becomes second nature
2-3 and 1-3 both work, it's the same as the ice
I play on controller and have them set up so pressing them makes a shape that kinda reminds me of them
so like Huton is down right left, because it makes me think of the wind swirl that goes with the skill, and Doton is just making a half circle
I just remember them, there is no "how" involved.
It's on netflix
please get on pvp
its like fricking 9am EST, nobody is on
>Completed Crystal Tower, obviously
>Skip Mhach
>Completed Ivalice

I'm going to keep ignoring that raid just to spite you homosexuals
Same, but I skipped Nier instead of Mhach.
The most gratifying moment of the entire expansion, was after hours of dealing with the dumb bird's existential crisis, you get to turn to Zenos and say "Actually, I'm just kind of a sick frick".
What jobs are good for deep dungeons and on another note wich ones are absolute suffering?
Red mage Machinist Warrior are constistently good from what i hear though i can only really vouch for warrior since thats the one i get shit done with. Black mage and the melees are all shit exept reaper from what i gather.
I think Warrior is technically the safest and most consistent, but you do have to have a little bit of knowledge about how to manage your time effectively. Going through and killing every enemy you see will be too slow and you will run out of time on later floors, so you have to learn how to sneak past enemies, or use Pomanders/Landmines to group clear effectively.
Red Mage and Machinist are a bit more face smash just kill things on your way to the exit, but they're squishy and punished harder for mistakes.

Where is Tataru's drink?
Why the frick did Asahi get a drink
asahi is the most korean character ever depicted in a jrpg
The same reason he was brought back, Japanese VA
Because nobody ordered "The Yotsuyu" during the trials
is this shit booze or what?
only thancreds and uriangers
>asahi got a drink
>aymeric didn't
>yotsuyu didn't
Women were a mistake
homie, it is supposed to be Fandaniel without spoiling EW. Same reason the Crystal Exarch is there instead of G'raha. People who know know and everyone else doesn't get spoiled.
They didn't think a litre of semen would sell, and it tired out the bar staff to make it every time someone finally ordered it
Is the litre of semen Aymeric or Yotsuyu?
Yotsuyu, sorry forgot to specify
women prefer asahi to aymeric? wtf is wrong with that gender?
>I can fix him
If the AO3 numbers are anything to go by that's absolutely untrue
I literally just returned to Japan and went to both the Tokyo and Osaka Eorzea Cafes. Character sodas were pretty good. Not crazy sweet, which was nice. Food was alright, but still amazing compared to the average Western cafe. Got a couple trinkets for swag, but they were out of most shit.
What are some "must do" settings for a new player? Like turning off profanity filter or enabling auto loot in WoW. So far I rescaled the world's largest fricking hotbars to a slightly more manageable size and turned off my own nameplate that I don't understand the point of. Anything else?
change to legacy camera controls and get used to it. It will benefit you in the long run over using the standard tank control. Personal preferences would be turning off titles, damage numbers other than your own, the damage type symbol, minion/pet names, and so on
oh and auto face target when using action. You'll need that for legacy controls
FFXI always had your name on the screen is the reason for that.
You can mouse drag the chat all the way to the bottom left corner. Turns other people's effects to low (not so important now, but for the future). Drag Limit Break action to a hotbar if you're a DPS. Make enemy target's cast bar separate and make it big so you can more easily see what they're doing, and turn on their HP %. Might also want to make debuffs on you big and drag that box somewhere where you easily notice them.
The big one for me is to separate the targeted enemy bars in the UI and place their cast/progress bar right in the middle of the screen so you will always see when something is casting and how long you have to avoid it.
Most information can be shoved off to the sides of the screen but castbars are 90% of the mechanics.
Would a chemist job be feasible for XIV?
Maybe a healing class that plays kind of like a machinist?
>The FC calls you souls head for saying questing is boring because it's easy
I don't get it
You can pretty much say anything is feasible just take one of the existing guys, rename the moves, and change the particle effect from cure ii to hi-potion ii or whatever your new job is
So I can freely swap classes/jobs and level up everything at once? Does that mean the only real reason you'd make another character is to change the race/gender or server?
you can do everything on one character, yes
You have to level every class up seperately but you can do it on one character. There is honestly no point in having an alt.
Some more hardcore players will also have an alt to get past some weekly lockouts to farm some types of content easier, but those are the exception at the very top. For most players, yes, the only reason to have an alt is if you don't want to buy fantasias or mods to play around as another race, or to have a character on another server.
Look at my cat

But she is suppose to be my character mother figure/third wife. She is suppose to look like a benevolent grandmother who cares about me and my retainers. They are all part of my wol back story before he came to eorzea in 1.0
Why are you black?
there are also hot bio-girls who play, so i don't care. i'm working on getting an FF14 gf right now

She's Thancred's daughter.

there's an npc with this animation in limsa near one of the guilds, sad that you can't get it (without mods)
i swear to god, can you morons STOP jerking off for one second? There is a reason the coomer meme had legs.
>game has the concentrated sex called Y'shtola
>asking me to stop jerking off
homie, blame SE for creating the ideal woman.
Your "ideal" woman is so boring they keep writing her out of the story since.
the game is absurdly chaste, no body even kisses in this game, yet you guys will never stop jerking off because you see an ankle once or something.
There are also two prostitutes in the golden bazaar (and a hyur npc warning you to stay away since they gave him galloping knobrot)

Imagine if they gave us a choice wich zones we could save from the final days.
yes
Fanfest. Since JP is the last fanfest we can expect a expansion within 2 months of it, probably less.
How do you know there's less than 400 days?
Someone is making fun of XIV in another thread. Is it considered rude or against channel rules to link to it to laugh at them together?
Why should we care? It's just a game.
I don't like seeing some troll bash on our game. People will believe it if it's done and listed enough. Similar to what
just did.
If enough people keep doing this shit without recoil more people will just think of our game as "that ERP game" which if we don't stand up for ourselves soon we'll have unrecoverable damage. More so then they already caused
stop trolling homosexual. or go back
You say that despite the fact there's been some homosexual posting the same three troony bait images for the last year
That has to be a bot. No way some guy actually just sits there all day posting the same images like a hunderd times a day.

stormblood side content was so fricking 10/10. I hope they kill the weird horse demi-god somehow or resolve that plot.
I totally was expecting a boss fight, but nah. Death in a cutscene. It was okay though since I liked the Four Lords story.
he didnt die, he was sealed again.
Already maxed their 100 yen budget i guess.
The next ultimate will be that or something with Yotsuyu
I thought it was nice that the NPCs actually managed to succeed at what they were built up to do for a change. That said, I think
would be a pretty good chance for us to finally fight that fricker
Really loved suzaku plot. I'm a sucker for romantic stories.

Damn, for such a pale girl Lyse's dad is really black.
I hate the Leveilleur children playing at soldier, and how often scenes need to stop for them to freak out about each other being hurt. Alisae got slashed up (again) because she pulled the boss. The adults should not be letting this happen.
The game would have been a lot better off with only 1 of them existing and not being in the main party. All of the Scions fulfill the same role of magically solving problems off screen.
HW was Alphinaud's story more than anyone else, which was annoying because he sucks, but his involvement made sense. He was the one with an emotional arc. But in StB it's Lyse's adventure and the twins have nothing to contribute other than being smug little smartarses bossing people around while being literally half the size of the the veterans around them. They had no problem sidelining every other scion to the occasional cutscene, but the trust fund children have to stay on the front lines because they're so amazing and special or something.
Even Estinien mentions how important Alphinaud is to him every time he appears. It's weird pedo shit.
doesnt races in ffxiv usually take the mother race and appearance ?
Both of her parents are Highlanders, so why does that have to do with anything?
lyse is adopted
Was Yda black? Is that why everyone knew Lyse wasn't her from the start?
what can i do to like this game again? I've played every expansion since 1.0 but now I just find it so hard to care. The game itself feels like such a stripped down chore, and gearing feels so monotonous I've just refrained from doing it at all this expansion. Gathering was fun for awhile but it doesn't feel like it's going anywhere, and island sanctuary kind of dashed my hopes for that. What can I do when 7.0 comes out to really like the game again? I used to love it so much but now it just feels like monotonous repetitions every time new content releases. and before you say it, no I haven't played for thousands of hours without taking breaks, I take breaks regularly.
it wont get better because they are scared of innovating/disrupting the gameplay. the current playerbase (read: degenerate coomers, gays, trannies) is actually happy with the direction of the game. as long as their sex plugins work, they dont care.
What I don't understand, is aside from them stripping mechanics from the game and identities from jobs, it's more or less the same as it was in stormblood. I remember liking stormblood (enough to even do all of eureka! Like what the hell?) and playing heavily in that time before taking a break to do all of shadowbringers before EW. why only now do I feel like the game *feels* worse to do things in? ARR I felt was fun, loved heavensward (especially raiding), but now all of those things feel like there's no point to them. It boggles my mind.
understand that the game is not being developed for you anymore. its being developed for the average limsa idler that only modbeasts to jerk off
most of the money is coming from degenerate porn addicts,gays,troons and pedos that buy fantas daily
The way combat is being designed has crippled how the game functions on a basic level and even though a very specific crowd is going to cry foul, the lobotimization of all content that isn't Extreme difficulty and up makes most content feel like a chore to play since it never challenges you and also doesn't allow you to "flex" on others outside of some very specific circumstances.
They sort of tried to de-lobotimize the dungeons and Trials by throwing a few cruveballs (like how EL ROTADOR was the first time in years I've seen groups in normal mode wipe more than once) but the general lack of variation between skilled and unskilled players makes getting better at your job feel meaningless along with the MSQ still being designed for people who can't dress themselves in the morning.
IMO, they've shifted gameplay complexity from playing your job right while the game throws wrenches at you and yells "DODGE!" towards the game asking you to spin a plate on a finger while while reciting the alphabet backwards and dodging 3x as many wrenches as before but you'll only ever have the game ask you to do this if you are playing "hard" content, otherwise you are just simply spinning your plate while waiting for things to happend
People don't even want to do TOP because it does feel like a chore and more people are just giving up on the shitty tryhard scene. So the game making all the normal mode braindead isn't the only issue.
Savage content being too annoying/frustrating and normal content being too easy with Ex kinda being in the middle is a pretty poor concept. 24 mans are also way too easy this time around.
>People don't even want to do TOP because it does feel like a chore
My point was that the game is extremely top (heh) heavy in terms of design, as a TLDR on my post, they are taking 'complexity' from job design and showing it into encounter design. This leaves the hardest figths "too hard" and the easiest fights "too easy" with no room inbetween since job design very rarely allows for any kind of complex interaction between players, enemies or the encounter itself thanks to the devs removing any kind of mechanic that could have more than 1 use.
As an example, my favorite jobs right now are PLD, WAR, RDM, SGE, BLM and DNC and it's because:
>PLD, WAR and to a lesser extent RDM allows me to carry even some of the shittiest players over the finish line in all normal mode content between level 30ish and 90
>SGE and BLM adds a learningcurve (even if minor) to even the easiest content thanks to the way they are designed
>DNC has so much control over where they are and how well their group is performing that it actually feels good to not only have players shift their rotations around you but you shifting around them
When the game feels at its best to play when other players are fricking up then the devs have obviously done something wrong since all of their most difficult content is designed around a very deterministic timer that doesn't allow for players to frick up
As a 100% coomer I can say I am not happy. There is absolutely no good combat content, the casual stuff is literally done in a week and the Duty Expert dungeons are the *worst* we ever had. Frick whoever designed the Yeti and Reaper puppet bosses. Not even hard just supremely annoying.
Also no dating Y'shtola but I have accepted my headcanon being better than the actual game anyways.
yeah i don't agree with that guy as the game has always had coomers. i think they're just bending over backwards to advertise the game to get a revolving door of new players to replace every veteran that leaves so they don't have to design endgame outside of the bare minimum.
Game is definitely doing its best to burn out its veteran players. Unironic cultists (mostly newer players) are the ones that spend money on their weekly fantasia for ERP. Newer players are also the yes men that say the game can do no wrong.
Then stop playing moron
I mean obviously it depends on what you want out of the game. It sounds like you don't care about the story, since you talked about gearing and gameplay stuff instead. That's not going to change. Are you competent enough to do Savage? If you used PF for that sort of stuff before, try getting a static for a new experience.
For all the other stuff, I hate to point at social stuff again, but if it's not all that exciting for you to grind out yourself, then try and make some friends. Get into a new FC and run content with other people, just to shoot the shit with them.
I fricking despise doing Deep Dungeon by myself, but I had a friend that wanted to run the new Eureka Orthos stuff together and had a blast just running around making mistakes together and progressing through the floors. MMOs are social games, so doing stuff socially is usually the answer to getting your interest back.
I care A LOT about the story, I cared about all aspects of the game really. The current patches aren't very interesting but I also just wasn't that crazy about the ending to endwalker. The social stuff kind of died for me when my longtime FC quit for either FFXI, WoW, or just stopped playing XIV, and I can't really be arsed to get another group but I don't really mind being solo for now. Dunno, I hate sounding like a doomer but something about the game has just felt off for awhile.

You should find another game
wow's epic and inimitable villains, such as the jailer, being killed on day 1 of the expansion would be a huge disappointment. it was necessary for the jailer to do nothing for 3 years, striking fear in the hearts of players by periodically appearing in a cutscene to say a line like "death comes for you" or "death will reign", to really get across to players that this guy really likes death and is dangerous. and is coming for us to reign over us.
ff14 just simply can't make as compelling a character as the jailer because they don't draw the story arc out over years and have the bad guy's minions say "the good guys are lying to you" when they die with no further explanation or exploration.
square enix should be afraid. steve danuser, narrative genius and earth's greatest writer, isn't going to stop at just the jailer - he has at least 3 or 4 more such epic and iconic villains up his sleeve, waiting to be deployed on the rich creative tapestry that is "the warcraft 'verse", and the next time he does, i confidently predict ff14 will lose ALL of its subscribers as everyone rushes to take on our next epic warcraft cosmic foe who wants to destroy and/or enslave all reality for no reason
good one, anon
I will give you one (1) thing. WoW has better class identity and combat content at the moment. Story is still woke nonsense.
thats 2 things
Shit, you got me.
almost believed you.
wtf is with these headcanons
>Before Euphrosyne everyone was lusting after Nophica's big breasts
>After Euphrosyne everyone is lusting for Halone pits and Nymeia anything
Explain
We didn't know what the other goddesses looked like. Everyone already knew what Nophica looked like and they mostly delivered, though people think her breasts should have been bimbo tier large (they're still pretty big).
Nymeia is my patron
She's somebody's sistah you know
I'm still lusting over Nophica's nophicas.
I will always be loyal to my patron. My heart and loins are hers.
when did they force remove the lala lewd mods?? game ruined
Why did they make High Concept 2 easier than High Concept 1 with 90 percent of it being static
do i give melee cards to the tank if there are no melee dps in the party
I do
I think technically speaking, if no melee dps, then you're supposed to give to tanks during 1 minute windows, and your ranged DPS during 2 minute windows. This may be outdated though, I don't play Astro regularly.
lowkey, I got kinda sad when Haurchefant died, and but I started to cry when the father reaction. Like the father doesn't immediately cry, but he tries to be strong, but literally falls to his knee after trying hold himself together.
shame that voice actor passed away
The frick is it with XIV's voicecast croaking? Matoya's VA died as well (although you really can't tell, the replacement is amazing), they even threw the old VA -Sheila Steafel - a little shout out via Y'shtola.
This game has been going on for more than a decade now, it's inevitable that a bunch of people are going to go missing along the way.
I didn't notice that the VA changed until someone pointed it out
I swear to god the replacement sounds exactly the same, but maybe if I heard them both one right after the other I would notice the difference
You know i kinda miss old praetorium sometimes.
i miss most of the changed ARR stuff. I didn't want them to change it to homogenize it, I just wanted them to scale the health up so it's not a mindless zergfest where things die instantly
>I just wanted them to scale the health up
sounds like a lot of fun lol
correct you would've actually been able to play it instead of everything dying before you even get LB1
truly, the era of the casual is upon us.
and thats a good thing
Good, maybe they can start doing more content for casuals to repeat and focus less on savages and ultimates. Bozja CEs are the right amount of "hard" I like doing.
Why is Tataru the biggest bawd in the game, only that one prostitute who gets DPd by the Boulders comes close
Can you get away with playing with 1 role in this game?
Sure, i don't see why not.
Is WoL even going to make it 7.0?
What point is this collection of words trying to make?
I think it's just like snarky dialogue options for the WoL.
Kind of funny I guess
Shut up and post sprout memes.
To be fair that shits counterintuitive as frick, there is no reason to assume that the open/exposed side is the one you're meant to show the boss.
Whoever made this shit is the most moronic Black person ever and he will never get how a videogame is made.
so why are FATEs engaging content when they're in instances, but not when they're in the overworld?
Because literally no one goes to the overworld to do shit unless some event or relic makes them do that.
Also on expansion release to unlock faster mount movement
Because
1 You actually have control on how fast they spawn by doing shit in the instance
2 Critical Engagements and Eureka fates have actual mechanics you see people failing at, and in the case of CEs you get rewarded for perfecting them with a difficult 1v1 encounter
3 You get meaningful rewards in the form of experience for your job, experience for the instance, materials for the relics and shit you can sell on the marketboard
TLDR they could've just made better fates in the overworld and make us buy the relic shit with bicolored gemstones
>You actually have control on how fast they spawn by doing shit in the instance
Bozja did this better, since it gave you clusters for killing spawn mobs. And the timer reduction from killing overworld mobs has a hard cap so you aren't fricked over if you're the only one looking to push the timers down
Because the overworld (and its fates) is the easiest "content" in the game by far, it's so toothless and unthreatening that it actually luls you to sleep while running inbetween points of interest.
If the devs actually changed that then no one would want Bozja/Eureka but the devs don't want to actually challenge the player in those types of enviroments since they are technically a part of the MSQ which is something that is purposefully designed so that even a monkey can complete it
>technically a part of the MSQ
so are trials and those are considerably more challenging compared to FATEs (even NM fates). what stops them then? why are trials a part of the MSQ if they require more effort than being afk
The trials actually being slightly harder than your average dungeon is a fairly recent thing and even then they can be completed as long as there is atleast 1 tank and 1 healer standing. Hence why RDM and SMN used to be considered "OP" by the MSQ-heroes simply because they had rez even when they weren't OP at all since in harder content the rez button is just a way to drag out an attempt thanks to enrage being so tightly enforced in Savage content and above
damn, I can see why maleras do the things they do now
Why didn't Elrond fight him over this
He would lose, Isildur was a massive gigachad.
Aren't Tolkien elves complete horseshit in their powers though
In the Fellowship Aragorn and Boromir are explicitly the strongest, mightiest warriors. Elves that have seen Valinor are crazy strong in magical ways but the 7' humans would wreck Elrond in a volcano wrestling match.
cause he wasn't MAN enough to cast the ring in the pit if he had himself.

heh..the moment we get a /blush from her, all the other ffxiv girls will die.
Am I out of touch? I found Zero's story to be incredibly cliche and quote honest, tiresome. Like... it actually felt someone was introducing their OC and hogging the spotlight.
nah, it absolutely is cliche as frick and I like it
no you're not out of touch. i won't fellate this game like it's the pinnacle of character writing, but they have kept it marginally consistent in having characters lean on the mature side, with *relatively* realistic dialogue between them. zero inherently sticks out like an extreme sore thumb when compared to characters like thancred, urianger, raubahn, kann-e, etc
it is extremely cliché, but it works.
I love Zero and I love the shitposting about her.
>JP fricking love it
Edgy tomboys unite both neckbeards and fujos, it's beautiful
Pet jobs don't work in tab targeted MMOs. They just function as dots and don't interact with enemies or do anything cool.
Savage is fine the way it is, Ultimates are the only thing that goes a bit too far in terms of what it asks of the players. Especially if the rewards are gonna be as guady (ugly) as they are. You'd think if any content in the game would get a mount it would be Ultimates but nope..
problem isn't savage, it's just that all the side content has gotten so lazy that they just copy the extreme/savage formula. go to eureka orthos, same simon says dodge the bad mechanics. go to criterion, literally just a 4man extreme/savage. like why the frick are they copying the formula over to other non-extreme/savage raids? it's boring as FRICK
because thats what people want
The entire fricking gamw has always been various degrees of "dodge the bad" since day one, not sure what you were expecting
even 1.0 fights that they added against primals were that. it was kind of fun then since jobs were a lot more unique, but now that everyone fully plays the same in their roles it's very monotonous and feels like just performing a routine.
i don't know where this misinformed garbage opinion comes from that it's being parroted everywhere. there are control fights in this game like t12 and to a certain extent slimes in drs, they just don't do them anymore for some unfathomable reason. the worst part is control fights are like only one out of the myraid ways you can make an mmo raid not counting dodge the bad. like i'm trying to scrape the fricking bottom barrel here and square enix still won't deliver
>one raid nearly a decade ago had something different
Wow bud you sure showed me
yeah i sure showed your moronic claim of 'the entire fricking game since 1.0' is false. still hasn't refuted my point at all that they CAN do it if they want to, it's just pure laziness because it's easy to copypaste a bunch of template in-out light party stacks nisi twister mechanics over and over and change 1 variable
I think the Criterion Dungeons were supposed to be more heavy on the dungeon side of things. But seeing how they've done Deep Dungeons, I'm not sure I really trust them to make something fun or interesting in that regard.
Would have loved if Criterion was genuinely the XIV version of Mythics, but maybe that will improve in the next version? Probably not.
mythics are garbage. stapling affixes onto trash to make it more annoying on top of having to design dungeons to accommodate these affixes, like having enough room to dodge the swirlys at all times and enough room to kite
But it's something XIV doesn't really have and could try to implement better.
A lot of XIV's game design is just copying WoW but removing the unfun parts. I think that's what a lot of people were hoping would somehow happen with Criterion. But as the previous anon said, it just ended up being 4-man Savage instead.
if you want mythic dungeons, go play wow. i got ruby pools for my key this week. wanna go?
People just want combat content that doesnt require a 20 minute guide and memorization before each encounter.
the game engine/netcode are too shit to make content about quick reflexes and reacting to unique circumstances
>Quick reflexes
Yeah, PvP shows that their netcode isn't good enough to support split second decision making
>reacting to unique circumstances
Not true at all, the game still have a few encounters where you are required to do exactly this with some of the the most recent ones becoming a meme thanks to it. EL ROTADORs gimmick quite literally spun things around in a way that hadn't been done before in the game, even if it was a bit basic.
mechanics with 2-3 set variations are not “unique circumstances”
If you are talking about RNG then yes, the game is very much capable of being designed around that but the devs just don't want to do that. It has nothing to do with their engine and everything to do with the fact that they want everything to be EXTREMELY static, to the point where you could even play every encounter on paper as long as you have all the numbers and actions that the boss is going to use. It's why there are so many people who still don't understand why they keep DH around since all it does is muddy the waters and ruin this type of static game design
so you want harder content that doesn't require guides and preparation? you do understand these statements are contradictory?
i repeat, and without malice, go play wow if you want wow
how is it contradictory
the current level of casual content consists of falling asleep on the keyboard and clearing anyway. there is a considerable distance between that and something that absolutely requires guides
i don't understand. you want fights that don't require preknowledge and thus you can wing it successfully, but the ones that exist are already too easy because they can be winged successfully on pull 1?
you want one thing, but then discount off already existing things that meet that requirement?
unless you want roulettes to be harder, which won't happen in a million years because the MSQ isn't designed to be hard. i repeat, a third time, if you want wow, go play wow
i mentioned the fact that within the spectrum of things that can feasibly be cleared without preknowledge, there is a big gap between a fight where you can fall asleep on the keyboard and fights where you actually have to pay attention. all normal content currently rests on the extreme end of the former. you have repeatedly, intentionally or not, ignored that nuance, probably because it doesn't make your argument look good
the 'it's msq' argument is so fricking stupid i'm not sure why i even need to engage with it. we're talking about optional side content like trial series, alliance raids, variant dungeons etc. that are most definitely not msq and nobody is required to do at all
you lecture me about rhetoric when you're using hyperbole and not actually addressing anything contradictory to your argument?
>i want thing
>thing exists
>nooo not like that
i am now telling you, with prejudice, go back to wow and have fun with your keys there
>makes up strawmen
>wonder why people don't address the contradictions in his strawmen
wow, this is truly a mystery for the ages
The only reason why Savage raids needs guides is thanks to enrage.
When the devs puts such a strict timer on players before they just kill them it makes guides almost a necessity since they are burdening players with both learning the fight and optimizing for it before they even set their foot inside. All they would need to do to make the "midcore" players happy is literally just take Extreme or Savage encounters, remove a little bit of HP from the boss, allow for A SINGLE frickup per person (as in if a player has 1 vuln stack they are instantly dead the next time they are hit with avoidable damage) and then either remove the enrage timer outright or make it so that enrage is just the boss repeating itself again but maybe faster and/or doing random mechanics that are able to overlap until the party either resets the fight or clears
I mean, isn't this just Extremes? I get that some people in this thread are saying there should be another step in between Extremes and Savage, but I thought the point of Savage was to be incredibly punishing to mistakes so you actually have to learn the fight to clear it, rather than forcing your way through with a good tank and healer that can keep ressing people.
What you're suggesting is content that you can carry people through, which I don't think is the intent of Savage.
no, there should be a step between normal and extreme
or rather, normal mode should be closer to extreme. bozja ces are a perfect example of encounters that can be one-pulled with no prior knowledge, but does punish you much more heavily for making mistakes. the fact that vuln stacks never fall off until you are dead is a pretty good example of how it increases the level of punishment. delubrum thrice come ruin is also another, slightly more punishing version that can be easily implemented in all normal mode content without stepping into the realm of simply wiping the group outright for the mistake like in high end content
there are so many levers you can pull to incrementally increase the difficulty of normal content, that the only people who think there are only 3 steps, braindead current normal content, extreme/savage and ultimates, rather than a full spectrum, are disingenuous homosexuals
>no, there should be a step between normal and extreme
NTA, but why? it's not like extreme is even remotely difficult.
then why shouldn't normal mode step up? in fact, i wanted to say that extreme should just be the new normal mode, but i know i'd just get vultures coming down screeching about something irrelevant like msq in a conversation about side content
if alliance raids were about the same level of difficulty as extremes, they would be literally perfect, but i'll take concessions to be slightly below that at this point due to how many crybabies there are
>then why shouldn't normal mode step up?
because normal mode is for people with drool dried to their chins.
you can just look at EX as the defacto normal mode, and normal mode as the easy mode for children and morons.
I'm not saying that they should replace savage but that they should go back to using the "Hard" difficulty. The way I see it, it would look something like this:
>Dungeon/Trial
>Dungeon/Trial (Hard) (this should be what is currently considered "Expert" in the duty finder)
>24-man Raid
>Dungeon/Trial (Expert) (Extreme level difficulty at minimum but without a instakill Enrage timer)
>Trial (Extreme) (We are now back to our ordinary difficulty conventions and Enrage is now instakill again)
>Trial/Raid (Savage)
>Trail (Ultimate)
What midcore players want is a difficulty between 24-man and Extremes or an extra difficulty between Extremes and Savage. Most people think that Savage and Ultimate are fine as they are but there is NOTHING in the game that leads you up to these points thanks specifically to the game all of a sudden wanting you to handle mechanics that are 2x as difficult as before while also forcing you to actually learn how to play your job at the same time. It makes the difficulty curve look like a cliff instead of a hill
this sounds like extreme fights. unless you have a LOT of deaths or people are just not hitting their dps buttons the enrage doesnt exist
I don't necessarily want Mythics. But I do want engaging small party content to run with my friends, without having to set up and manage a whole static. Deep Dungeon is too mind numbing after you clear it once to really keep doing it. Criterion has low replayability once you've figured out the bosses already. So I'm still looking for that itch to be scratched.
I agree, that's why I hope for some form of midcore content. People complain that squenix puttim in work tryna find something is a waste till that midcore content is found. Just something to queue for fun and to give people a stepping stone between normal and expert/savage. Another fair point on DD. Im saving the new one for when I have nothing to do.
The only thing they need to do for Savage is get rid of loot lockouts earlier. Heard so many stories of statics breaking up before they finish farming for everyone because it takes them 6-8 weeks just to clear, and then another 8 weeks to farm, and the fatigue just sets in too strong.
If loot unlocked earlier so groups could just farm out gear at the .X5 patch or something instead, I think you'd see more people happy with the experience.
its been over half a year and the tier STILL isn't unlocked. I'd love to farm gear for alt jobs but between the savage gear lock and the 450 tome lock shit is whack.
Hell why is the ultimate even locked to weekly anyway. If you have the autism to go for a second clear that week then you should get a totem anyway.
Well good news because the tier is unlocking in less than a week from now
my point is it should've been unlocked earlier, by 6.3 at the latest. for a game that promotes playing multiple jobs you're realistically tied to at best 1 role if you plan to do ultimate thanks to the gear locks that make no sense past the first week of the tier.
I mean I agree too I was just letting it be known in case you didn't know. I think the odd numbered patches would be a reasonable timeframe from unlocks. A month is a bit too quick I'd say.
that’s not good news, savage should be unlocked no more than a month after release and ultimate should never be locked
I think one month is too early. Most people in casual statics wouldn't have even cleared by that point. Something like 8 weeks sounds more reasonable. Gives the people that are able to clear Week 1 the ability to get everyone BiS before it unlocks, and then immediately able to farm any alt jobs.
if you arent clearing by a month after the content is released then you arent clearing until youre massively overgeared anyway
And for a lot of casual groups, that's probably true. That doesn't mean you should spoon feed them the last fight if they took 4 weeks just to clear the first three fights. A month is too fast for lockouts releasing.
>Most people in casual statics wouldn't have even cleared by that point.
what does that matter when discussing when to unlock the tier? they're hilariously overgeared either way
I think it's a reasonable expectation that a lot of casual groups probably clear one fight a week. Maybe two weeks on the third fight if it's rough like P3S was for a lot of people. So reaching the fourth fight in a tier and having most of your group with accessories, a couple people with second fight drops, and only one person with an upgraded weapon from a third fight drop, is a HUGE difference than being able to just farm out the third fight entirely for everyone before moving on and truly outgearing the fight.
The point being we still want to give the casual statics a chance to experience the fight closer to it's intended difficulty before just unlocking everything and letting them farm it for free.
any 6.5 predictions? i hope BLU gets cool shit
>tank is afk
>looking at groups adventure plates
>one of them had a twitch link
>it was some weeb girl
>told her I liked her twitch channel just to be nice as she has 0 viewers
>she says thanks and tries to add me to her friend list as she wants to chat later
Why do women do this?
Idk, maybe they’re trying to create an army of simps that they can call on for free stuff?
Every time I see a Twitch link on someone’s search comment I roll my eyes and think “Great, another one”
was she cute tho
You should never give attention to a woman who isn't sucking your dick
She was a vtuber with a deep voice.
>I don't associate with cutscene skippers
I love these so fricking much
I hope 7.0 has another Restoration zone, building that zone but by bit was some of the most fun I've had in this game. Drop the competitive aspect of it though because that shit is 100 percent botters.
Does Splatoon really remove all to puzzle solving during endgame encounters?
>sleep would have been the most powerful spell in the game in pre WoTLK WoW
>casters don't even put it on their hotbars outside of deep dungeons
i thought they removed it. you just reminded me they didn't.
I remember saving a run as a black mage way back when i was a sprout with sleep after the tank died. While the tank was running back me and the other dps who also survived were just kinda picking off the sleeping mobs one by one untill they got back.
i wonder which fates you can cheese with it.....Hell squeenix probably forgot it exists too.
thats simply because the game isnt interested in testing the tanks ability to mitigate or the healers ability to heal
Wait, that's the end of the post-nier quests? Anogg just comes back (somehow) and they both frick off?
Yes. I didn't understand it.
Did you rike it?
its up for interpretation. to me Konogg had worked himself to death and he hallucinated Anogg as he passed on
I saw it as this. Yoko does like putting his "death is beautiful yet scary but that's okay" energy in everything he touches.
the entire problem with ffxiv's combat simply rests on 1 design decision - a fixed timeline of mechanics
they need to go back to fights with hp pushes or fulfilling certain objectives to trigger a phase change, which would also completely change tank and healer gameplay because outgoing damage is no longer a boring spreadsheeted series of cooldowns
Take complexity from encounters and put it back into jobs.
SKIP SOAR OR DISBAND
I agree that the fixed timeline is something they could play with a bit, at least in the mid tier fights like Extremes and Savages, probably not for Ultimate.
Something as simple as having the boss be able to perform any one of 4 or 5 different moves from their moveset during a phase of the fight, then move to a different moveset once you push to the next phase, etc., could make some of those "dodge the aoe" Extremes a lot more interesting to farm just because you have to actually work around which mechanic is chosen and optimize differently in each run. It wouldn't need to be harder, just give more variety to spice it up.
Anogg and Milala are the cutest lalas
It's Fufucha for me.
Isnt she like an old lady?
44 years old like Momodi
44 is just the right age.
Why does she have a third eye? Is she part Garlean?
Dunes Lalas have a head israeliteel option, it's not a third Garlean eye
yes, and its not very common to see on PCs
You're wrong because Nanamo and Krile exist.
>no option to join Milala and purge Limsa of degenerates
Uhuh.
why did they stop making hard mode dungeons and trials again? was it really just msq goblins?
They didn't make sense.
Hard Trials are the exact same as current normal modes, they just droppped the "Hard mode" naming convention. Hard mode dungeons weren't really "Hard modes" at all, they were just the same dungeons with different mobs and slightly different pathing.
