Now imagine if the whole game was like that instead of soloing through the MSQ and duty finding dungeons/trials. A man can dream.
EO sucks though, I cleared it on my first solo run. I definitely wouldn't consider it more prestigious than any legend title although Necromancer and Lone Hero are IMO.
EO's issue is that its pacing sucks. It starts at around floor 50 difficulty for HoH, but then just flatlines at that level.
It honestly resulted in EO dying off faster than the other two, even casuals dont touch it because its heightened difficulty at the begining makes it too tedious to level alt jobs in.
I honestly think EO is harder with a party than solo
>solo DD >respected in 2023
SHB turned ultimates and solo DD into welfare titles and it's only gotten easier since. EO already has as many unique solo clears as PotD, but back in the day, Necromancer used to be the rarest non-PVP or treasure hunt title. Now any job can breeze through, there are multiple PUG clears for HoH logged on JP DCs as well, and you can clear EO with ARC from what I heard. Not to mention the amount of cheats available now compared to then.
I feel like you could say the same thing about Ultimates, but I dont want to be that much of a pessimist.
It definitely applies to ultimates as well. There's really no point in wearing Legend/Ultimate/Perfect anymore.

it depends on if you check logs. the title itself is largely meaningless but there is some merit if you have, say, logs of top on-patch, that aren't hidden and aren't with saus or rmters

It's just a never-ending rat race with the people who get autistic about it, which is becoming more prevalent unfortunately. My point is that ultimates were, hilariously, not future-proofed despite Yoshida saying they would remain as difficult in SHB and Legends from SB laughing at casuals not being able to unsync them. So now the prestige from them is gone and you only do them if you like the weapons. Not to mention general experience isn't that great because fewer buttons at 70/80, generally phase pushing as the rule instead of the exception.
well yea, who the frick wants to re-run EO when the first 30 floors have tanky mobs with 1 minute respawn timers and the endgame floors have no tension or pomander management. hell you don't even need to do the fricking bosses if you have an OK demiclone since they will kill them while you do the mechanics.
After I got my first clear in both PotD and HoH I wanted clears on other jobs until I got bored but having cleared EO once I am done with it.

People thought the same about Stormblood, and here we are now.
It is also funny how in 6,5, there will be more game in the free trial than in the section you can only pay to play now.
Despite Yoshida constantly touting that XIV doesn't delete content, it really is a FOMO game. You're either there for new expansion or new patch day one or you're left in the dirt. On top of that, the experience of older expansions is so far removed from what they once were. Players have no buttons, everything dies if you sneeze at it, mobs do no damage, min ilvl is a meme, there's just so much late players have missed out on.
I intentionally hold DPS every time I get that trial with a first timer to preserve the experience. It baffles me that they still haven't implemented proper ilvl sync on these important story trials after seeing how Thordan is so pathetic in his.
how the frick have they not fixed this yet? old content like thordan being fricked is one thing but she's the final boss of the most recent expansion and you barely even get to hear her kino footfalls remix

going through that on launch with everyone in their artifact gear was cool as hell. i'm sad that new players will show up and blitz phase 2 with clownglams.
Reason: no need to put on too much effort in making this outfit since it's not on mogstation.
Is this an acceptable reason as to why this is an one-piece?
But that hasn't stopped them before? We just got the heavensturn samurai armor earlier this year. Even the tonberry outfit, which similar designs are all one-piece, got pants and shoes despite not being visible at all. It makes no sense.
Last year's outfit was good, they can't do good twice in a row.
no more swimsuits because naughty gaijins put it on billboards before release

You're not even using that terminology correctly. The -let suffix is to signify someone who doesn't have that thing, a sexlet (like you) is someone that doesn't have sex.
Me too, but I found the pink hair nice too. Short hair on girls is cute, people here just hate her so much they don't see how someone they dislike can be cute.
She was more composed at this FF, which helped. Was the nonbinary dragon stuff in the JP script as well? I only dislike it because it feels tacked on after HW already had us become familiar with dragons and it's already inferred that great wyrms can produce their own children by then.

I think it feels right for dragons to be genderless and for them to just act in a way that we see as male or female, they are ancient alien beings that reproduce differently than us, it's silly to think of them in "boy or girl" terms.
The pixie one is maybe not a clear cut justification but it still works and doesn't bother me at all, same would go for voidsents.

The pixie one bothers me the least because they're the reincarnated souls of dead children, boys and girls. I was told they're still supposed to be gender neutal in JP, but since they have gendered language like most non-english languages, it comes across as only feminine. Dragons being aliens is fine, and I don't really have an issue with it, but the scene in 6.1 did feel forced since its just like "we're different btw, but I still call them sisters and brothers". As if the WoL was not aware Middy birthed his own eggs at all.

Why are FFXIV players like this?
How DARE there be references to past titles!?
I haven't played other ff games but I don't care if the enemies come from previous games, I just think "cool, new shit to kill". Like that Valigarmanda thing.
Unless femHroths will unexpectedly be hourglass goddesses I'm sticking with my thighlander.
The only dealbreaker female highlanders had was the shit face textures.
I think what they're saying that even the models for character creation look better than the crap FFXIV tries to pass off because of "Console Limitations"
Can we have one thread without Barry/Foxxo/some other mentally ill discord freak dumping the exact same pictures and posts in an desperate effort to get FFXIV threads deleted?
No, unless you can magically teleport to their place of residence with a sledgehammer and maim their hands beyond repair so they can never operate a computer or touchscreen device again
I bought GW2 like a year ago and found out that I need to pay double the price to access the post game story arcs that aren't included with the game.
This hidden cost trash can suck my dick, I legitimately felt robbed.
However when I started playing I found out I wouldn't want to experience that story anyway most likely because the writing is an utter shitfest so I guess that's why none of the players care to mention it. Frankly I don't know why anyone would play this game, what even is the appeal? Jumping puzzles?
Jumping puzzles and the game feels good to control. That's pretty much it, everything else has become unbearably bad over the years. HoT at release was the last time I had any fun with that game and they had to ruin even that.
>i-is that a map where you actually have to plan ahead on how to navigate through it, with a real sense of exploration and danger?! >nooo I just want the cheevo real quick nooo don't make me engage with the design
And this is why the game went down the shitter. Well, that and the horrific writing.
i wish fino fanta had 1 map like that but fino fanta players actually malded about pagos dragons and the cliff. literally crying about you could FEEL the devs hatred for players with their 'hostile' map elements. that tells me all i needed to know about the chances of a map that has any sense of danger at all appearing in fino fanta in the future
There's reasons to play XIV besides jumping puzzles.
I'm asking what the draw of GW2 is because the story is ass and the gameplay is a 4 button zergfest with no thought process.

I have never heard anyone say anything good about GW2's story, I've tried it myself and it's not even passable. It's moronic.
The best praise I've ever heard about it is "It's voice acted so I don't need to read."
The point was that jumping puzzles might be the ONLY appeal that GW2 has to offer, while it's an extremely minor thing in FFXIV. But you knew that, dilating freak.
The troony and ukraine flags get spammed on literally every single non-fringe discord and chat I've ever seen. Some of them are genuinely just bots set up by the ADL, it's why you see it spammed in Twitch chats too. If you don't believe me then check the profiles of the people doing it, half of them will be real though.
I'll resub in 2024 if what bald beard man says is true about 7.x having the most content planned
Content is all that matters I don't care about the story
if you mean xeno he's clearly grifting with half- or fully insincere statements so as to soften and temper his outbursts about mods and se's ban policies in se's eyes. gotta be a fence shitter, can't side with his audience too much or bootlick yoshida too much, it's a delicate balance. not that i blame him though, it's his livelihood and a man's gotta do what he has to do to make a living
It does, however EW also had the most content ON PAPER. People were willing to forgive no forays since we would be getting two new things with IS and criterion, and look how that turned out. DT is confirmed to have at least the same about of content as EW with a new type of battle content and MAYBE a new foray, so do with that info with you will based on what we've already seen from EW.
>increase in playerbase >its mostly just an increase in trannies, furries, and erp/mare homosexuals >millions of ads in shout chat in any major city
jesus christ what the frick went so damn wrong? it wasnt like this back in stormblood or even shb, was it? maybe im just misremembering but god damn the people on this game have become completely fricking insufferable more so than they were before.
>be xiv side writer >spend years autistically crafting irrelevant lore about the culture of some level 20 bandit npcs or whatever >think "well at least the roleplay community will appreciate this worldbuilding and incorporate it into their stories!" >look at the roleplay community >tfw they're all wearing baseball caps and crop tops while standing around at raves
I feel sorry for those writers because I know that if they don't craft some worldbuilding, some rp-schizos will start yelling "OH MY DEAD WORLD! I CAN'T RP WITHOUT KNOWING ABOUT LE BANDITS"
Yeah FFXIV basically fits that, who cares about the lore when you have the following: >Shitty wannabe twitch DJs playing copyrighted music >2b leotards >Gay pride and troony parades >Modbeasts modding themselves to be something other than what's in lore
Man modbeasts really ruin everything by jamming lore inappropriate stuff into the game. >puts on slime hat >drives Noctis car to Gold Saucer >participates in Fall Guys >gets Rathatlos in trial roulette >gets Copied Factory in raid roulette >leaves Gold Saucer >rides Jibanyan into the sunset
To be fair there are plenty of RPers who actually act like Eorzeans and engage with the lore, you just don't see them because they're not shitting up shout chat
that's not the point
the point is that your all-stars converse sneakers and baseball cap do not fit the tone of the setting, even if you can glamour your Abyssos Destructive Helmet of Mega Fending to look like it
Glamours make an item take the appearance of another item, but who would conceive the sneakers in the first place, in this setting?

No I understand what you're saying, the problem is you're explaining your headcanon to me rather than how the game actually works. You're mad that it isn't what you want it to be, but the reality is that it exists perfectly fine within the games own lore.
I hate how in about half a year a new world like Raiden went from no people to being nearly the same size as old worlds but every second plate has mare in it.
I clearly remember starting to see shoutouts for clubs in the middle of shb, was very jarring because it sure as hell wasn't common before that. After corona19 and specifically the asmon stream the floodgates were torn off
Its funny and ironic cause next expansion looks like what should be 6.1 cant wait the future retcon/memoryleak when they decide to put skip arr to endwalker
i feel sorry for all the people who couldn't enjoy endwalker. I liked the story, i like ultimates and i even like pvp so this expansion has been nothing but wins for me.

My man I have 100 wins. It’s legit horrible, because of how the map works you know the game is over in the first 2 minutes with the first opp spawn. If for example one team takes a tower and the other doesn’t, the game is legit over. There is zero percent chances for comebacks to happen because advantage gives you more map control which gives you more resources which puts more pressure on the map which gives you zero resources. When I was doing my 100 win grind there was even people who just let end because of this.
And that’s just the honest version, if I was dishonest I could say it’s over in the first 30 seconds. But the team that wins mid (not gobbiejuice of course) first only wins about 80% of the time rather than 100% the team that wins first push.

just means you're gonna see a lot of insta alt-F4's and afks in anything that's not CT
and also someone is probably going to make a better plugin for seeing where matchmaking is taking you before you commit
I enjoy FF4 so I appreciate the fanwank.
Criterion is good, it's just the reward structure that sucks and missing it as an opportunity to supplement the already nightmarishly slow raid gearing process is a sin.
Relic grind is pathetic.
Islands were fun for a day or two.
Raids have been pretty good in my opinion.
DSR is the best ultimate in the game, TOP is the worst.
Fall Guys has the potential to redeem the expansion entirely though.
I had hoped that they'd fellate the FF5 fans and have an Omega/Shinryu/Gilgamesh ultimate but I suppose that was too much to expect. Instead it was Omega Omega and Omega.
I dunno, in my head it was just so much more varied and interesting. Instead of Omega > Omega M+F > Omega Horse > Omega gold > Omega Ultimate, it could have been Omega > Shinryu > Gilgamesh > Exdeath > Ultimate Exdeath but whatever, it is what it is.
I played Smite a few years ago, simply because it was third person. That felt really nice but fell out of love with it, then Paragon after but Epic killed it to focus on Fortnite.
It's good, players have more power compared to pre-rework, especially in the late game with maxed battle highs. The games are more snowbally though because of this, although comebacks aren't that uncommon since 80% of the team is clueless so you can always try to sneak in a clutch BJ backdoor to turn the game around.
You guys are gonna get disappointed.
90% of your AR roulettes are still gonna be Crystal Tower because it's mandatory. Yes you will see the other raids more, but the change is not going to be as big as people is expecting.
I'm just going to be hard queueing the Ivalice raids, comfy in the knowledge that 1. they'll pop more easily 2. Some former ilvl cheesers will get pulled in and seethe.
I don’t disagree that primal is THE wintrading server, but aether is the home of the cheats. I’ve done like 30 FL recently on aether and it’s shocking to me how many zoom zoom 110% speed fricks are on aether.
and even with omega shinryu still would've won the garleans the entire war if he got captured by anyone other than zenos
ilberd got really fricking lucky that his unstoppable murder primal ended up in the hands of the one garlean too autistic to care about world domination
i am really excited about 6.5 but not because of the msq
but >free trials get to do ultimate and eureka, which means you're no longer tied to discord trannies to complete eureka >thordan, the best trial in the game is available again at proper difficulty >every tourist will unsub once they notice they have to wait almost a year for more story and new glams
i am so happy
is the alliance ilvl thing from 7.0 or 6.5?
>he says then when free trials all have blue justice as their titles and all of them did every piece of content available to them in hw
People are finally going to realize how overhyped Thordan is and HWoomers still clutching their rose-tinted glasses will say "w-well it was harder with fewer jobs/y-you have better gear/t-there's no accuracy or TP/t-they nerfed it actually" or some other excuse.
what the frick do you mean? to this day thordan is still the trial with most mechanics and individual responsibility

Any EX that demands a bodycheck is objectively harder by virtue that one mistake wipes the group where in Thordan it's all individual aoes, tethers, the rest of the party doesn't need to worry if you die or not. There's a wild charge in the second half, but that's kinda it. It's all bait/spread/gaze which everyone has seen a million times by bow

it's harder to clear but it's not harder to play. the difference is that bodychecks just make you bored out of your mind replaying the fight over and over until no one makes a mistake, you personally are no longer engaging with the boss fight after you know how to execute your part correctly

That still makes it harder overall, even if they're cheap and boring. It's not like the mechanics in Thordan are foreign to the current playerbase now like they may have been back in 3.1 to those who didn't run coils.
the thing is, thordan has a tight dps check, in fact thordan was the first fight where healers realized they needed to dps
golbez ex has no dps check that i've seen, i will also add that i think body checks all the time are cheap in any fight, having the ability to recover and squeeze out as much damage even with weakness is far more engaging than black screen because the moronic faerie monk was confused about which one is south and which one is north
Healers realized this way back in coils lol. >thight check
The first cope is already prepared for when it's a nothingburger unreal. Yeah, no trial really has a check anymore, but especially those released in odd patches since everyone is decked out in BiS from the previous patch while Unreals don't even require relevant crafted gear. Thordan unreal won't be tight, you can count on that.

I can't wait for Kugane to be full again, Eureka, Ivalice, Omega raiding, it's going to be fun with
a lot of sprouts who have no clue.
Personally I couldn't give a shit about the story post patch 6.0 until 7.0 starts. I'm completely not feeling it on the Zero story line, but happy for the new direction with Dawn trail. That said 6.5, it'll still be really fun, loads of new sprouts racing to reach Stormblood for the first time and try out what it has to offer.
We're going back
STORM OF BLOOD, BORN FROM BLOOD, FROM OUR FALLEN BROTHERS!
if a clueless gay were to want to start doing Bozja right now, what would I- I mean that homosexual have to know to ensure a smooth grinding experience
Use the essences that give you damage in the raids or you’re trolling max, ask to join groups in bozja proper, expect to die. If you want ez mode you can just wait until the weekends. It was properly populated yesterday but weekends usually get a full or near full instance. Trying to do it by yourself is shitty
yeah I walked in there and a level 3 road roller chased me into africa and raped me
I'll look into that essence shit
in general you don't really fight the random trash mobs unless you're farming for very specific and niche items, and most of that is just to sell for money, not actually progress through the content
if you're just trying to progress, you'll only be doing the fates (skirmishes), super fates (critical engagements) and the raids (cll, delubrum, dal)
dying in bozja loses you exp so when you're progressing, it's FAR, FAR better to play it safe than try to greed gcds or do ballsy maneuvres
oh yeah if you want essence, you can go be miserable and grind the 1star plants and beetles in the starting area or just buy them off the marketboard. bozja is actually a pretty good place to spend some of that useless gil you're never gonna spend anyway, the essence aren't that expensive anyway
Use the essences that give you damage in the raids or you’re trolling max, ask to join groups in bozja proper, expect to die. If you want ez mode you can just wait until the weekends. It was properly populated yesterday but weekends usually get a full or near full instance. Trying to do it by yourself is shitty
You can buy them yeah, otherwise a couple of CLL runs (one of the first raids) will give you a bunch of potentially useful high tier ones. That being said if I want to play dps you can farm skirmisher (crit and damage) pretty easily.
As a side note if you can buy some essences for real cheap there is an achievement for identifying 1000 essences that gives you an earring that gives you +3 haste (reduces GCD) in the bozja areas.
whm is the easiest and most reliable job to play and clear bozja but it is INCREDIBLY and i do mean INCREDIBLY BORING. it does a frickton of damage due to seraph strike, thin air and afflatus misery, can be specced into tank with minor dps loss due to templar essence, can save frickups from other people with rez without needing an item and can heal. it does everything (except not suck at damage in delubrum savage but all healer suck at damage in delubrum savage anyway) but i would not recommend playing the entirety of bozja on it due to how incredibly boring it is
but if you want simple, plain effectiveness, take whm, slap on templar if you want tankiness, aetherweaver if you're confident, profane if you're REALLY confident, seraph strike and free space for any other lost action and you're golden
Profane+seraph strike SCH in DR is some of the most fun I’ve had in the game as a healer. Feels good getting a group that’s good enough to not need babysitting so I can go full DPS mode
Sam with BEAST and Lost Ass or WAR with martialist (cheap) or bloodsucker (you will be invincible) and take Lost Impetus to troll people during movement mechanics like the ghost donut in delubrum.
i like delubrum's idea of thrice come ruin, why don't they do that in other normal mode content (bozja is normal mode content, don't try to argue otherwise)
>tfw was always too chicken to try unreals when they first went in
I wish I just stopped being a b***h and queued up now it's onto zurvan and people already fail the normal version of that shit.
Have you done any 90 extremes? Zurvan is easier than doing most of the 90 extremes on-patch. Just watch a guide once through and make a prog from start party, go in with a learning mindset and it'll be easy peasy.
oh absolutely, I did all of the arr extremes with duty finder when I first started playing just out of pure stubborness I think just to clear my quest log.
It's funny I do mentor roulettes now and I keep getting arr extremes but I can't be mad because I also used df all the way up to Titania lol.
I'll never forgot my Niddy kill with the PLD soloing the final 3% because everyone had died to orbs again, he must have been so happy to get out of there.
I just woke up from a coma and I'm wondering why everyone is raiding on Aether now? Primal is dead as frick for some reason and I can't even get any prog party going without waiting ten years in party finder.
>be crystal gay >don't want to raid with crystal gays because they cant raid >dc travel to aether to bypass this >that mindset spreads >crystal's pf is now dead
same thing happened slower on primal. And DC travel killed any hopes dynamis ever developed a player base as well.
it's moronic because i cleared asphodelos fine in crystal PF (well obviously not "fine" but no worse than average aether PFs)
and half the aether parties i join are made up entirely of people from crystal anyway
everyone's cucking themselves for no reason other than that everyone else is doing it
DC travel means that metagays all go to the same server to raid, and since the main limit on PF prog is the number of people doing the same thing as you, it just snowballs overtime into all the raiding happening on a single DC.
yeah it sounded like a shitshow. Security not letting you take your personal water bottle into the concert on 115 degree days even if it was empty and told people to leave them on a table outside. Then venue cleaners fricking threw them all away so hotel security had to try and salvage the bags of them. Also security admitting to wanting to steal peoples stuff.
You hit the nail on the head, Arthars, Xeno and a few of those streamers/ influencers had the best time of their lives apparently, but the normal fan it sounded like the absolute worst shit show possible.
I'm really having to consider here if I should go to the London fanfest, I've got a ticket but if the experience is just going to be waiting in lines for something you can see at home on stream.
I need to think about this seriously and see if they acknowledge what went from with the NA fanfest and say if they will do anything better for the London one.
SE, Yoshi and the entire team have been told for years to get their arses in gear and organise a proper Fanfest, but they really don't seem to want to do that and just want to give some stage presentation, a live letter and the Primals and that's it.
I hate to say it but past Blizzcons shoot SE out the fricking water with how they used to put on their cons, with Fan panels, Voice actors, dev panels Q&A segments, some real fan service.
SE are still too stiff and business like.
I don't think it'll ever change.
Blizzcon is so far above Fanfest it isn't even funny, maybe part of it is spreading yourself across half a dozen franchises instead of just one tired old ps3 port.
FF should be about the entire franchise not just the current trendy one.
That's not what a fan Q&A is for, it's a chance for fans to ask the devs questions they have related to the game. It's not meant to be a "streaming hype event moment".
Almost all gaming conventions have them, it's fricking moronic FFXIV doesn't.

It's funny because they really don't and JP players are often confused why changes are made or things are added that they didn't ask for. CBU3 does things on their own and the regions point fingers at each other, although cross-region being on hold is most likely because of JP in this instance. I still think it's gonna happen, the <Voyager> is in the files as of 6.4 and they never add things they don't intended to use.

it really wasn't though. They were already Diablo superfans, if anything they would be the most likely to play it (because everyone has phones, right?)

XI is fricking 5/5. I hope they combine subscriptions with xi and xiv so people can play both
After the Nexon FF XI remake got axed, I wouldn't be surprised if they resumed that project in-house at CBU3.
all my friends quit when they got to stormblood so its doomed no ones gonna buy once they get stuck in the worst expansion.
This is where I fell off as well. Considering picking it back up for a month, but the content I'm interested in is dead from what I've heard (deep dungeons, exploratory zones)
Deep Dungeons are solo content. They can't die.
>deep dungeon
>dead
Bro, you literally need 0-3 other people.
You DO have 0-3 friends right?
What the frick do you mean it's dead?
I mean, it's called Palace of the DEAD for a reason
Because I like playing it in a group. I could just play Wizardry if I wanted to dungeon dive solo, why the frick would I pay a sub for that
But the rewards are all for doing it solo?
You're still trying to say that someone which needs 3 extra people can be dead.
You know how easy it is to find 3 people?
It's not Delubrum Savage you're trying to do here.

bozjagays were right all along tbh people are social if the content is designed to encourage socialization
Another one sees the light. Welcome brother, fun times, big damage and many clears await you.
Funnily enough I ran a 7/8 group awhile ago and we got paired with some lucky 1 guy. The queue is dead you have to watch PF but if you watch it you can typically do atleast one run a day
Yep. Plus the special dungeons in boz are hard enough to be engaging, but not dominated by raidtrannies that ruin “serious” content. Hunt train shout chat also feels like the old days. Not necessarily making lasting connections but you get the kind of public chat shitposting that’s missing from everywhere else in game.
Whenever it's not being floodspammed with TRANS RIGHTS (to groom your children into more of themselves)
what server are you on where that ever happens.
gw2. It’s the mmo for white men, and LGBT is implicit white identity.
I hear these things here but I never see in-game. An American thing?
Yes.
I play on Famfrit, allegedly one of the bigger degen American servers and I've never seen this shit
Famfrit is on Primal, the beaner DC
for all their faults, they haven't fallen to american idpol brainrot yet
oh, my mistake then
Never seen that on Crystal. Sorry your DC is troonytown
>bozjagays were right all along tbh people are social if the content is designed to encourage socialization
Now imagine if the whole game was like that instead of soloing through the MSQ and duty finding dungeons/trials. A man can dream.
Eureka is alive and well. There's a single troony who is mad about it and spams how it's dead.
>he hasn't soloed a deep dungeon.
The titles are honestly more respected than Legend titles.
unless it's heaven's legend and the legend i agree
I did EO solo but Once and Future King/Queen kinda sucks as a title
yeah frick arthur to be honest
I really enjoy Lone Hero as I'm an antisocial frick who bitterly refuses to accept copypaste invites from strangers.
I too main dark knight.
Big Fish > all
EO sucks though, I cleared it on my first solo run. I definitely wouldn't consider it more prestigious than any legend title although Necromancer and Lone Hero are IMO.
EO's issue is that its pacing sucks. It starts at around floor 50 difficulty for HoH, but then just flatlines at that level.
It honestly resulted in EO dying off faster than the other two, even casuals dont touch it because its heightened difficulty at the begining makes it too tedious to level alt jobs in.
I honestly think EO is harder with a party than solo
I feel like you could say the same thing about Ultimates, but I dont want to be that much of a pessimist.
It definitely applies to ultimates as well. There's really no point in wearing Legend/Ultimate/Perfect anymore.
it depends on if you check logs. the title itself is largely meaningless but there is some merit if you have, say, logs of top on-patch, that aren't hidden and aren't with saus or rmters
That's true but then it's a rabbit hole of
>post logs
>ok post 75%+ logs
>ok post 75%+ logs from 6.3
>ok post 75%+ logs from 6.3 without Sausage in your party
>ok post 75%+ logs from 6.3 within first month
It's just a never-ending rat race with the people who get autistic about it, which is becoming more prevalent unfortunately. My point is that ultimates were, hilariously, not future-proofed despite Yoshida saying they would remain as difficult in SHB and Legends from SB laughing at casuals not being able to unsync them. So now the prestige from them is gone and you only do them if you like the weapons. Not to mention general experience isn't that great because fewer buttons at 70/80, generally phase pushing as the rule instead of the exception.
Parsetrannies are such cancer
well yea, who the frick wants to re-run EO when the first 30 floors have tanky mobs with 1 minute respawn timers and the endgame floors have no tension or pomander management. hell you don't even need to do the fricking bosses if you have an OK demiclone since they will kill them while you do the mechanics.
After I got my first clear in both PotD and HoH I wanted clears on other jobs until I got bored but having cleared EO once I am done with it.
>solo DD
>respected in 2023
SHB turned ultimates and solo DD into welfare titles and it's only gotten easier since. EO already has as many unique solo clears as PotD, but back in the day, Necromancer used to be the rarest non-PVP or treasure hunt title. Now any job can breeze through, there are multiple PUG clears for HoH logged on JP DCs as well, and you can clear EO with ARC from what I heard. Not to mention the amount of cheats available now compared to then.
>Now any job can breeze through
post your AST PotD clear or admit you are a moron

Oh no no no no no

i don't think they'll ever make ShB free
People thought the same about Stormblood, and here we are now.
It is also funny how in 6,5, there will be more game in the free trial than in the section you can only pay to play now.
Despite Yoshida constantly touting that XIV doesn't delete content, it really is a FOMO game. You're either there for new expansion or new patch day one or you're left in the dirt. On top of that, the experience of older expansions is so far removed from what they once were. Players have no buttons, everything dies if you sneeze at it, mobs do no damage, min ilvl is a meme, there's just so much late players have missed out on.
Players doing the EW MSQ now will miss phase 2 of Endsinger because ilvls are now way too high for it.
Really makes you think.
I intentionally hold DPS every time I get that trial with a first timer to preserve the experience. It baffles me that they still haven't implemented proper ilvl sync on these important story trials after seeing how Thordan is so pathetic in his.
Phase 2 Endsinger is the worst part anyway
The real tragedy is how fast Shinryu dies
how the frick have they not fixed this yet? old content like thordan being fricked is one thing but she's the final boss of the most recent expansion and you barely even get to hear her kino footfalls remix

People who did Thordan EX when it was relevant, how hard should I clench my butthole for the unreal that's coming
its hard but maybe it'll be easier now because it's a known fight
Well I never did it, the only real EX I did was Golbez cause I am an endwalker babby
Sephirot was more frustrating tbh. Really wish we got Nidhogg or Ravana unreal instead.
hoo boy
>summer event
Sentai instead of this
The costume should've been Rising event reward
Last year's outfit was good, they can't do good twice in a row.
no more swimsuits because naughty gaijins put it on billboards before release
Give me one good reason the body had to beca one-piece? There's nothing in the design that warrants it.
Reason: no need to put on too much effort in making this outfit since it's not on mogstation.
Is this an acceptable reason as to why this is an one-piece?
But that hasn't stopped them before? We just got the heavensturn samurai armor earlier this year. Even the tonberry outfit, which similar designs are all one-piece, got pants and shoes despite not being visible at all. It makes no sense.
Like all event items it's gonna be on mogstation though.
Because sentai suits you wear IRL are one piece
>sentai meme glamour
who the hell wears this? almost nobody wears "futuristic" glamour in this game.
Wrong, I wear the late allagan pvp gear on my ninja and larp as Raiden from Metal Gear especially when I'm playing CC.
Prease understand. Kishida Fumiko, feminist prime minister has banned bikini from anime and Japanese console game in 2022 summer. Sophie 2 was the last Japanese console game with bikini.... amd Ryza 3 has no bikini.
I think based, I'm gonna use this glam for my monk.

You're not even using that terminology correctly. The -let suffix is to signify someone who doesn't have that thing, a sexlet (like you) is someone that doesn't have sex.
Shut the frick up, gay
Typical brainlet response.

No 😉
JRPG protags look like THIS?!
The main protagonist is canonically a female miqo'te.
That's what all the in-game dialogue options are based around, in terms of personality.
Damn you mean Kate looks like THAT?
no
I unironically find her hot after she stopped having pink hair
Me too, but I found the pink hair nice too. Short hair on girls is cute, people here just hate her so much they don't see how someone they dislike can be cute.
She was more composed at this FF, which helped. Was the nonbinary dragon stuff in the JP script as well? I only dislike it because it feels tacked on after HW already had us become familiar with dragons and it's already inferred that great wyrms can produce their own children by then.
I think it feels right for dragons to be genderless and for them to just act in a way that we see as male or female, they are ancient alien beings that reproduce differently than us, it's silly to think of them in "boy or girl" terms.
The pixie one is maybe not a clear cut justification but it still works and doesn't bother me at all, same would go for voidsents.
The pixie one bothers me the least because they're the reincarnated souls of dead children, boys and girls. I was told they're still supposed to be gender neutal in JP, but since they have gendered language like most non-english languages, it comes across as only feminine. Dragons being aliens is fine, and I don't really have an issue with it, but the scene in 6.1 did feel forced since its just like "we're different btw, but I still call them sisters and brothers". As if the WoL was not aware Middy birthed his own eggs at all.
The singular use of they/them will never not sound jarring to me, I don't know why people think it can sound natural when it doesn't, remotely.
ywnbaw
What? It's not possible for me to become a real life catgirl?
That's shocking Anon, I had no idea, thanks for telling me.
Elon betrayed us all. Always remember that.
mmmm no I still don't see why I should play this.
FFXIV is a trans inclusive community and I am tired of chuds being mean towards a marginalized community.
Get a life, incels.
omg so true sis!
>chud openly admitting to harassing marginalized groups
seriously frick you nobody wants your kind on our game
I want his kind in the game, frick off dyke
clearly the devs dont agree with you 😉 give me your ign and we'll see who is wanted in game. oh wait, chuddy wont 😉 just know I hunt your kind and have had dozens banned so keep your shit opinions to yourself or else.
You think I give a shit about some mentally ill troony? It’s Vizex Xene. Now go 41% yourself
>posts someone elses character
ok chuddy way to go and admit you are on the wrong side of history
just know if you ever say shit in game a bounty hunter will have your account permanently suspended. live in fear like transphobic rats deserve.
>uh… we’re dangerous, we just don’t feel like punishing you today!
What a joke, you can’t do shit
it literally costs you chuds $0.00 to not be a fricking bigot
frick off troon, and put and identifier in your plate so we know you're not cis but a troony.
>put and identifier in your plate so we know you're not cis but a troony.
why? you still butthurt that you thought you would finally stop being an incel erping with someone only to find out they were trans?
well let me state some facts
1. trans women do not need to disclose that they are trans, this is very traumatic and many of us would rather focus on the future
2. if you were less of a hateful bigot you would not need to be checking female plates and you might not even be an incel chud.
future being what? A rope coin toss?
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/dec/16/us-trans-non-binary-youth-suicide-mental-health
And 1 round of 9mm to put directly into your estrogen-addled forehead costs $0.25.
I said "that's fricking gay" after being underhealed and dying, and then proceeded to say "have a nice day" to some dude who had male + male symbols in his bunboy plate during a p12s reclear, weeks later, still no warning or anything involving GMs.
in my defence the gay dude was mmaking passive agressive comments throughout most of reclear.
Doesn't sound like you insulted him for being gay, just calling a situation gay and then telling him to off himself. Not even a "homosexual" in there.
still, in 1984'd game like League of Legends that would be a guaranteed chat suspension or more. I know telling someone to rope is immature, but I fricking hate the way xiv community gets passive agressive or defensive over nothing. Genuinely found WoW Classic community to be more laidback and chill and i'm in a guild with mostly 20-35 year olds, the dudes are cool, the girls are cool. No drama.
Nobody believe the age of 33 still plays wow
Are you fricking moronic? There's more 30-45 year old WoW players than 18-29 year olds.
I don't get why you'd even need to type that to other people. If I get mad I curse by myself and then go on, it's stupid to waste time telling someone to off themselves when I stand nothing to gain and I can unwind perfectly fine by just screaming obscenities in my room. Just leave the group, just walk away.
no, I said my piece, they can act on it, become better, or worse, we still cleared, we moved on, I don't think he even blacklisted me cuz I could still see his plate an hour later lmao.
>some dude who had male + male symbols in his bunboy plate during a p12s reclear
Was this a shield healer by any chance?
it was a healer but don't recall further
Lmao could be the same guy, he joined a p12s pf I was in and started being a b***h to the other healer for no reason as soon as he joined, just because "I'm tilted at WHMs".
he's not the only guy annoyed at whms, morons took medica2 off their hotbar or something and when we die to damage because we were at 60% before a raidwide it's not their fault
To be fair WHM is the designated shitter job
Why don't you share first? It's only fair, but wait, baiting turds like you are about as honest as a israelite with no authority over it.
I've also banned dozens of your kind by infiltrating ERP social groups and mass reporting any kind of extreme sexual activity displayed in chat, wheter with me or in all chat.
Cope and seethe.
Are you that Ava Aya troony that got doxxed by a very very mad Lala community, because you exposed their pedo discord/FCs? lol
>are you a troony
No, have a nice day but I am interested in knowing more.
Okay calm down there Kyuubetsuki, I'm sure there are others you can groom in your free time.
this game better be good
We got another one, boys!
>not GW1
ZERO INTEREST
But you have enough interest to reply in every thread :^)
>Gets triggered by actual Final Fantasy fans getting references to games he doesn't play, in XIV.
Why are FFXIV players like this?
How DARE there be references to past titles!?
i mean getting a reference isn't in the same ballpark as basedfacing and freaking out over it
I haven't played other ff games but I don't care if the enemies come from previous games, I just think "cool, new shit to kill". Like that Valigarmanda thing.
Unless femHroths will unexpectedly be hourglass goddesses I'm sticking with my thighlander.
The only dealbreaker female highlanders had was the shit face textures.
And the textures still look like shit.
FFXIV had Nomura on character design and the models looked stellar.
*XI
Don't be obtuse by pretending those are the actual models in FFXI.
I think what they're saying that even the models for character creation look better than the crap FFXIV tries to pass off because of "Console Limitations"
Can we have one thread without Barry/Foxxo/some other mentally ill discord freak dumping the exact same pictures and posts in an desperate effort to get FFXIV threads deleted?
No, unless you can magically teleport to their place of residence with a sledgehammer and maim their hands beyond repair so they can never operate a computer or touchscreen device again
I bought GW2 like a year ago and found out that I need to pay double the price to access the post game story arcs that aren't included with the game.
This hidden cost trash can suck my dick, I legitimately felt robbed.
However when I started playing I found out I wouldn't want to experience that story anyway most likely because the writing is an utter shitfest so I guess that's why none of the players care to mention it. Frankly I don't know why anyone would play this game, what even is the appeal? Jumping puzzles?
Jumping puzzles and the game feels good to control. That's pretty much it, everything else has become unbearably bad over the years. HoT at release was the last time I had any fun with that game and they had to ruin even that.
The game feels like frick to control, it's like TERA but worse. It's this awful middleground between an action game and tab targetting.
I don't know, it always felt very responsive to me and the animations are good. I really don't want to discuss that shit game any further though.
Tangled depths is one of my favorite zones but everyone hates it so they never made another one and it pisses me off.
>i-is that a map where you actually have to plan ahead on how to navigate through it, with a real sense of exploration and danger?!
>nooo I just want the cheevo real quick nooo don't make me engage with the design
And this is why the game went down the shitter. Well, that and the horrific writing.
i wish fino fanta had 1 map like that but fino fanta players actually malded about pagos dragons and the cliff. literally crying about you could FEEL the devs hatred for players with their 'hostile' map elements. that tells me all i needed to know about the chances of a map that has any sense of danger at all appearing in fino fanta in the future
I'm still mad they murdered my boy, that's the equivalent of killing off Urianger... If he suffered main character syndrome.
It’s still the mmo for white men
that plant looking zesty
>Jumping puzzles?
Bro, your Leap of Faith? Moonfire tower? Kugane?
There's reasons to play XIV besides jumping puzzles.
I'm asking what the draw of GW2 is because the story is ass and the gameplay is a 4 button zergfest with no thought process.
>I'm asking what the draw of XIV is because the story is ass and the gameplay is a 4 button 2min meta with no thought process.

That's with the Dalamud plugin though. But yes, SMN is the easiest job in the entire game by far for a reason.
No that's just using ingame macros.
I only use glare and medica II as WHM. I also play only with 1 hand
You're being very disingenuous if you're acting like XIV doesn't have an engaging story that a lot of players enjoy.
>pretending the 2 minute meta is acceptable
Spotted the cultist
He didn't say anything about the 2 minute meta.
>You're being very disingenuous if you're acting like GW2 doesn't have an engaging story that a lot of players enjoy.
😉
As a longtime and current GW2 player I do not enjoy the story at all and I have never seen anyone praise it, ever. Also spamming ";)" makes you seem like a tourist twat.
>As a longtime and current XIV player I do not enjoy the story at all and I have never seen anyone praise it
Double standards 😉
Except that's a blatant lie. Show me praise of GW2's story outside of their own forum. Even in the general people do not consider the story good.
Stop replying to bait, he's just going to respond with an emoji at you.
I know, I just want to see if jannies genuinely do not care if someone spams these threads.
I'm 100% sure the jannies enjoy when you spam in the Ganker xiv general
Jannies actually ignore spammers in XIV threads on purpose and allow them to shit them up because otherwise them trying to shitmod the threads away results in deserved pushback against the mod team
instead they just intentionally allow shitposting in the hopes the threads become shitty enough that they stop being made
such slimy tactics are not unexpected of them honestly
Outside of patch days and liveletter/fanfest there is simply no need for constant xiv threads. You cannot discuss the game since the xivg trannies are here. When I come back 2 weeks later every single comment will be the same
>Except that's a blatant lie. Show me praise of XIV's story outside of their own forum. Even in the general people do not consider the story good.

You're literally in a thread with people praising the story.
>on their own forum

>You're literally NOT in a thread with people praising the GW2 story.
😉
I have never heard anyone say anything good about GW2's story, I've tried it myself and it's not even passable. It's moronic.
The best praise I've ever heard about it is "It's voice acted so I don't need to read."
>what even is the appeal? Jumping puzzles?
😉
The point was that jumping puzzles might be the ONLY appeal that GW2 has to offer, while it's an extremely minor thing in FFXIV. But you knew that, dilating freak.
B-but what about GW2 dragon riding/picrel?
I got cucked for buying the base game once. Thanks Yoshi.
>Those reactions
What does this say about the Island Sanctuary audience?
People desperate for attention
Matsuno won
The troony and ukraine flags get spammed on literally every single non-fringe discord and chat I've ever seen. Some of them are genuinely just bots set up by the ADL, it's why you see it spammed in Twitch chats too. If you don't believe me then check the profiles of the people doing it, half of them will be real though.
>go to shitscord
>copy and paste workshop slop
>leave
man Island Sanctuary is so much FUN
I'll resub in 2024 if what bald beard man says is true about 7.x having the most content planned
Content is all that matters I don't care about the story
if you mean xeno he's clearly grifting with half- or fully insincere statements so as to soften and temper his outbursts about mods and se's ban policies in se's eyes. gotta be a fence shitter, can't side with his audience too much or bootlick yoshida too much, it's a delicate balance. not that i blame him though, it's his livelihood and a man's gotta do what he has to do to make a living
It does, however EW also had the most content ON PAPER. People were willing to forgive no forays since we would be getting two new things with IS and criterion, and look how that turned out. DT is confirmed to have at least the same about of content as EW with a new type of battle content and MAYBE a new foray, so do with that info with you will based on what we've already seen from EW.
When I see a female and male viera hanging out it feels pure and peaceful.

I feel sorry for those writers because I know that if they don't craft some worldbuilding, some rp-schizos will start yelling "OH MY DEAD WORLD! I CAN'T RP WITHOUT KNOWING ABOUT LE BANDITS"
I appreciate your efforts, Anon. In fact adore them.
Reminded me of this
Yeah FFXIV basically fits that, who cares about the lore when you have the following:
>Shitty wannabe twitch DJs playing copyrighted music
>2b leotards
>Gay pride and troony parades
>Modbeasts modding themselves to be something other than what's in lore
Man modbeasts really ruin everything by jamming lore inappropriate stuff into the game.
>puts on slime hat
>drives Noctis car to Gold Saucer
>participates in Fall Guys
>gets Rathatlos in trial roulette
>gets Copied Factory in raid roulette
>leaves Gold Saucer
>rides Jibanyan into the sunset
To be fair there are plenty of RPers who actually act like Eorzeans and engage with the lore, you just don't see them because they're not shitting up shout chat
>tfw they're all wearing baseball caps and crop tops while standing around at raves
this hurts me
I feel like everytime this is brought up, I, as a senior loremaster, need to remind people:
Glamours canonically exist.
that's not the point
the point is that your all-stars converse sneakers and baseball cap do not fit the tone of the setting, even if you can glamour your Abyssos Destructive Helmet of Mega Fending to look like it
Glamours make an item take the appearance of another item, but who would conceive the sneakers in the first place, in this setting?
Glamours can make things look like whatever you want.
I'm clearly not getting to you so I'm just going to drop the matter. Enjoy your casualwear, homosexual
No I understand what you're saying, the problem is you're explaining your headcanon to me rather than how the game actually works. You're mad that it isn't what you want it to be, but the reality is that it exists perfectly fine within the games own lore.
>who would conceive the sneakers in the first place, in this setting?
Garleans
Oh no not the poor "house RP" and *race* Free companies!
I don't get it either. Watching characters repeat an emote for hours sounds real fricking boring
I hate how in about half a year a new world like Raiden went from no people to being nearly the same size as old worlds but every second plate has mare in it.
>Housing schizos are second life rejects
shocking?
I clearly remember starting to see shoutouts for clubs in the middle of shb, was very jarring because it sure as hell wasn't common before that. After corona19 and specifically the asmon stream the floodgates were torn off
That's the WoWfugees.

>Past the far edge of fate

>Tolling the coming of the End
remember the hype for endwalker
remember how bad endwalker was
6.0 was great in spite of the pacing issues. Its 6.1+ that shit the bed.
Its funny and ironic cause next expansion looks like what should be 6.1 cant wait the future retcon/memoryleak when they decide to put skip arr to endwalker
Putting the trial series in the MSQ was a mistake. It's so padded out.
i feel sorry for all the people who couldn't enjoy endwalker. I liked the story, i like ultimates and i even like pvp so this expansion has been nothing but wins for me.
The new pvp is indeed a huge improvement but frontlines are still awful.
Frontlines haven't been fun since HW.
frontline has never not been horrible
which is puzzling to me that the worst pvp game mode is the one with a roulette
>CC roulette never
Rival Wings roulette coming with the 7.0 Rival Wings update, I believe bros
I hope so. I'm pretty indifferent to RW, but I would 100% queue up for it if there was a roulette.
Rival wings is literally the worst PvP I’ve ever played in an mmo
>Rival wings is literally the best PvP I’ve ever played in an mmo
😉
You just got filtered, the mode has a steeper learning curve than FL with many objectives with different priorities happening in quick succession or even at the same time.
Play 20 games trying to learn it and you'll enjoy it I guarantee.
My man I have 100 wins. It’s legit horrible, because of how the map works you know the game is over in the first 2 minutes with the first opp spawn. If for example one team takes a tower and the other doesn’t, the game is legit over. There is zero percent chances for comebacks to happen because advantage gives you more map control which gives you more resources which puts more pressure on the map which gives you zero resources. When I was doing my 100 win grind there was even people who just let end because of this.
And that’s just the honest version, if I was dishonest I could say it’s over in the first 30 seconds. But the team that wins mid (not gobbiejuice of course) first only wins about 80% of the time rather than 100% the team that wins first push.
The only “people” who shill this shit are revival trannies, who are cheating homosexuals
>tfw starting endwalker now and the trailer got me going
I enjoyed EW while I had an FC... a month ago an officer kicked everyone out and sold fc and estate and most of former FC members who were doing content with just gave up and unsubbed till 7.0... now i'm just miserable
>remember how bad endwalker was
The queues were bad, I'll give you that, but the expansion itself? It was a 9/10 experience for me. Well worth it.
>get to Mare Lamentorum
>area chat is AEIOU AEIOU JOHN MADDEN FOOTBALL
almost shed a tear
>get to garlemald
>literally everyone had tataru's coat on
>get to elpis
>literally everyone had ascian robes on
queues aside EW's launch was peak comfy
What is this weird EW sucks campaign? People shat on every expansion when they were current.
I'm fairly certain it's just a combination of the usual contrarians who frequent this board and shadowbab's who don't understand how content cadence works here.
Still, it'll be hilarious come 7.0 or 8.0 and EW is then considered fondly here because of contrarian views.
No matter how many times you trancers say it Endwalker was a good expansion
What you on about ? EW was the most fun I had with this game in years, I literally played only this for 3 months straight after 6.0, only dropped off due to 6.3 and 6.4 being boring.
Apologize.
6.5 can't come soon enough

I'M SO READY FOR IT
The alliance roulette gonna die
I really feel like it will. It'll probably flood Frontlines with AFKers.
This change is going to make me stop skipping Alliance Raid Roulette and I doubt I'm alone in this. We're back bros.
You aren't. It was literally the loudest cheer they got all weekend.
Where's Fall Guys on this image?
No one cared about it
That is not true.
There was a large crowd reaction, one girl was visibly flabbergasted.
That's not true at all, crowd were surprised. Same with streamers who were watching but the reaction has been positive, it's Golden Saucer stuff so it'll more than likely also be permanent.
Here ya go.
This will be good if you have the option to queue as a group and do it with your bros.
>CT forcers are a vocal minority of homosexuals ruining the fun of everyone else for imaginary rewards
A pox on their houses.
Turns out most people want to actually play the game. I hope the positive reception this change got will give them the confidence to fix some other shit that they've been avoiding for fear of upsetting people.
Enjoy your 50 min queues, moron.
There’s probably more people who avoid the roulette because it’s always CT than people who queue because it’s always CT. Would trial queue be popular if it was always Titan (Hard)
sometimes when i'm bored i queue for ivalice/nier literally just to save some poor souls doing roulettes
Don't even mention this to me I've had Nabriales 5 days in a row why the frick isn't this a solo duty yet like the rest?
Ivalicebros, we're so back
it's a nice change but i wish they'd just fully rework CT to be less of a meme instead of slapping a bandaid on the problem, it's the first raid content new players will touch and it's the worst possible introduction
Pretty much every alliance raid needs both their numbers increased and the max ilvl cap reduced.
Nier does not need a buff, the final wing is sleep inducing as is
nier is in a weird middleground where the bosses don't do enough damage but they have way too much health
I always fall asleep on the 2nd boss since I literally can't fricking attack them most the time due to moronic tanks.
I don’t blame anyone for fricking that fight up since it’s the worst fight in any alliance raid, is there a single person on the planet who actually thought it was a boss before pulling? Looks like a trash mob
You can always attack them moron, even if the tanks frick up, you just need to attack them from the front.
>waaah why won't matchmaking do everything for me
Why are you playing an MMO without any friends, or the ability to make friends?
>the ability to make friends?
it's rendered useless if you want to interract online with others and they just ignore you because you're not in their discord echochamber
go get Big Fish then talk to the people you see regularly at the fishing spots. Plenty of friendly people.
>you just need to attack them from the front.
Good luck when they're spinning. You greatly overestimate the iq of the average tank.
>the iq of the average tank.
Bold of you to assume they have any IQ
>waaah why won't matchmaking do everything for me
Black person, do you know how to read? That very post explained that I tried to talk to everyone there to get them to join a party. You can't "make friends" in a game where ALL interaction takes place outside the game
It definitely helps if you aren't a sperg who is irrationally afraid of using a direct messenger, but even in game you can use PF, Free Companies and other networks. You just need to be less autistic than you currently are to make it work.
Joke's on you, I have a second account ready to go, I'll queue with my own level 50 alt.
You cannot stop me from forcing LOTA.
just means you're gonna see a lot of insta alt-F4's and afks in anything that's not CT
and also someone is probably going to make a better plugin for seeing where matchmaking is taking you before you commit
um sis don't forget nier 🙂
I wish we could filter out copied factory, I'm okay with the other 2 but that one is so shit.
I meant kino, not slop
You know you're still gonna see a lot of CT, right? It's still the only one that's required for the MSQ
it is my genuine belief that endwalker is the worst expansion this game has ever had
I enjoy FF4 so I appreciate the fanwank.
Criterion is good, it's just the reward structure that sucks and missing it as an opportunity to supplement the already nightmarishly slow raid gearing process is a sin.
Relic grind is pathetic.
Islands were fun for a day or two.
Raids have been pretty good in my opinion.
DSR is the best ultimate in the game, TOP is the worst.
Fall Guys has the potential to redeem the expansion entirely though.
I was mad that TOP was only Omega, but looking at it with a positive mindset, that means we could get a Warring Triad Ultimate with Kefka in the end.
I had hoped that they'd fellate the FF5 fans and have an Omega/Shinryu/Gilgamesh ultimate but I suppose that was too much to expect. Instead it was Omega Omega and Omega.
Instead we will get at least 2 ultimates fellating ff5. First one is Omega ultimate, next one is Shinryu Ultimate in 7.1
I dunno, in my head it was just so much more varied and interesting. Instead of Omega > Omega M+F > Omega Horse > Omega gold > Omega Ultimate, it could have been Omega > Shinryu > Gilgamesh > Exdeath > Ultimate Exdeath but whatever, it is what it is.
FF5 gets more love than nearly any other game. There are only like 3? bosses from that game that haven't made it in to 14.
>Haven't played RW after the pvp rework
Is it more fun now?
Not really
Is Rival Wings a moba attempt? I don't think I have it in me to play a moba within an mmo. That sounds like absolute fricking cancer.
come home, white man
I played Smite a few years ago, simply because it was third person. That felt really nice but fell out of love with it, then Paragon after but Epic killed it to focus on Fortnite.
It's good, players have more power compared to pre-rework, especially in the late game with maxed battle highs. The games are more snowbally though because of this, although comebacks aren't that uncommon since 80% of the team is clueless so you can always try to sneak in a clutch BJ backdoor to turn the game around.
LB builds on kills and assists so does having one WHM pop 3 LBs in a “team fight” as one team gets annihilated sound fun to you

my man is living his best life
So who will the final boss of Thaleia gonna be? The most likely candidate is the watcher but I'm not gonna take my meds on this one and say it's Azem
It's us. Everyone started worshipping the WoL as the new advdnture god, as hinted at with the cultist and this messed up things for Oschon somehow.

>F2P sprouts are gonna start pushing Tsukuyomi EX into my mentor roulette
o fugg
I WISH. I never see any EX in mentor roulette besides ARR stuff. Sprouts need to be more daring
I can't wait for Kugane to be full again, Eureka, Ivalice, Omega raiding, it's going to be fun with
a lot of sprouts who have no clue.
You guys are gonna get disappointed.
90% of your AR roulettes are still gonna be Crystal Tower because it's mandatory. Yes you will see the other raids more, but the change is not going to be as big as people is expecting.
>Ivalice now mandatory
problem?
solved
Everyone who played during Shadowbringers was tricked into unlocking the Ivalice raids, it's pseudo mandatory.
Your bozja unlock requirement?
I'm just going to be hard queueing the Ivalice raids, comfy in the knowledge that 1. they'll pop more easily 2. Some former ilvl cheesers will get pulled in and seethe.
When is the congested world status going to get cycled next?
>the team with the most asian and male-identified players won the NA PVP championship
Is anyone surprised?
The aetherhomosexuals got BTFO, not surprising because it has the highest amount of actual cheaters (not just wintraders)
They're all cheating homosexuals on their home computers, and Primal is still known to be the largest cheating and wintrading server.
I don’t disagree that primal is THE wintrading server, but aether is the home of the cheats. I’ve done like 30 FL recently on aether and it’s shocking to me how many zoom zoom 110% speed fricks are on aether.
Why does Suhr look exactly like his elezen?

what the frick do you mean? to this day thordan is still the trial with most mechanics and individual responsibility
>to this day thordan is still the trial with most mechanics and individual responsibility
AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HWOOMERS ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS. Stand aside gramps, I'll frag this Charllieaux.
listen, i get it, you're mad at people playing the game longer than you
i've done every single ex synced and on-content since 2.4
you have to find me at least 1 (one) extreme trial harder than thordan
and no, wol does not have more mechanics and individual responsibility
Golbez
you have to be fricking kidding me
good try but no, dying to gales 2 because pf sucks doesn't mean that the mechanic is hard
i also mentioned individual responsibility, my man, everyone needs to do the same mechanics in golbez
can't wait for you to try thordan, lil zoomie
Any EX that demands a bodycheck is objectively harder by virtue that one mistake wipes the group where in Thordan it's all individual aoes, tethers, the rest of the party doesn't need to worry if you die or not. There's a wild charge in the second half, but that's kinda it. It's all bait/spread/gaze which everyone has seen a million times by bow
it's harder to clear but it's not harder to play. the difference is that bodychecks just make you bored out of your mind replaying the fight over and over until no one makes a mistake, you personally are no longer engaging with the boss fight after you know how to execute your part correctly
That reminds me I never even cleared Barbie in pf because every other mechanic was a body check. I wish I had a static
That still makes it harder overall, even if they're cheap and boring. It's not like the mechanics in Thordan are foreign to the current playerbase now like they may have been back in 3.1 to those who didn't run coils.
Healers realized this way back in coils lol.
>thight check
The first cope is already prepared for when it's a nothingburger unreal. Yeah, no trial really has a check anymore, but especially those released in odd patches since everyone is decked out in BiS from the previous patch while Unreals don't even require relevant crafted gear. Thordan unreal won't be tight, you can count on that.
Heavensward fights also dont hold up with the new direction of the game.
Their all mechanically piss easy compared to what we put up with now, all of their difficulty came from how much more difficult jobs used ot be
yeah i'm not that anon, i just saw you talking about bodychecks and difficulty and that thing really is a pet peeve of mine. thordan mechanics probably aren't hard anymore, i just dislike it when people say body checks make the content harder because it's not really accurate
the thing is, thordan has a tight dps check, in fact thordan was the first fight where healers realized they needed to dps
golbez ex has no dps check that i've seen, i will also add that i think body checks all the time are cheap in any fight, having the ability to recover and squeeze out as much damage even with weakness is far more engaging than black screen because the moronic faerie monk was confused about which one is south and which one is north
Good luck trying to lock down BA with pajeets on Xbox playing it.
6.5.
Thordan might be the first time I do an unreal more than twice a week, it's gonna be so fun to teach people that shit.
People are finally going to realize how overhyped Thordan is and HWoomers still clutching their rose-tinted glasses will say "w-well it was harder with fewer jobs/y-you have better gear/t-there's no accuracy or TP/t-they nerfed it actually" or some other excuse.
Anon, you're not alone.
see here.
Personally I couldn't give a shit about the story post patch 6.0 until 7.0 starts. I'm completely not feeling it on the Zero story line, but happy for the new direction with Dawn trail. That said 6.5, it'll still be really fun, loads of new sprouts racing to reach Stormblood for the first time and try out what it has to offer.
We're going back
STORM OF BLOOD, BORN FROM BLOOD, FROM OUR FALLEN BROTHERS!
if a clueless gay were to want to start doing Bozja right now, what would I- I mean that homosexual have to know to ensure a smooth grinding experience
literally just chain run fates or see if there's a farming group up.
yeah I walked in there and a level 3 road roller chased me into africa and raped me
I'll look into that essence shit
The stars are the real deal you don’t want to fight 4 stars and up in general you will get shit on, 3 stars is more if you know why you’re doing.
in general you don't really fight the random trash mobs unless you're farming for very specific and niche items, and most of that is just to sell for money, not actually progress through the content
if you're just trying to progress, you'll only be doing the fates (skirmishes), super fates (critical engagements) and the raids (cll, delubrum, dal)
dying in bozja loses you exp so when you're progressing, it's FAR, FAR better to play it safe than try to greed gcds or do ballsy maneuvres
oh yeah if you want essence, you can go be miserable and grind the 1star plants and beetles in the starting area or just buy them off the marketboard. bozja is actually a pretty good place to spend some of that useless gil you're never gonna spend anyway, the essence aren't that expensive anyway
Use the essences that give you damage in the raids or you’re trolling max, ask to join groups in bozja proper, expect to die. If you want ez mode you can just wait until the weekends. It was properly populated yesterday but weekends usually get a full or near full instance. Trying to do it by yourself is shitty
What's the best way to get the best essences, market board?
You can buy them yeah, otherwise a couple of CLL runs (one of the first raids) will give you a bunch of potentially useful high tier ones. That being said if I want to play dps you can farm skirmisher (crit and damage) pretty easily.
As a side note if you can buy some essences for real cheap there is an achievement for identifying 1000 essences that gives you an earring that gives you +3 haste (reduces GCD) in the bozja areas.
use essence
whm is the easiest and most reliable job to play and clear bozja but it is INCREDIBLY and i do mean INCREDIBLY BORING. it does a frickton of damage due to seraph strike, thin air and afflatus misery, can be specced into tank with minor dps loss due to templar essence, can save frickups from other people with rez without needing an item and can heal. it does everything (except not suck at damage in delubrum savage but all healer suck at damage in delubrum savage anyway) but i would not recommend playing the entirety of bozja on it due to how incredibly boring it is
but if you want simple, plain effectiveness, take whm, slap on templar if you want tankiness, aetherweaver if you're confident, profane if you're REALLY confident, seraph strike and free space for any other lost action and you're golden
Profane+seraph strike SCH in DR is some of the most fun I’ve had in the game as a healer. Feels good getting a group that’s good enough to not need babysitting so I can go full DPS mode
Play RDM and be a rezbawd. You will get an achievement too
Sam with BEAST and Lost Ass or WAR with martialist (cheap) or bloodsucker (you will be invincible) and take Lost Impetus to troll people during movement mechanics like the ghost donut in delubrum.

i like delubrum's idea of thrice come ruin, why don't they do that in other normal mode content (bozja is normal mode content, don't try to argue otherwise)
>tfw was always too chicken to try unreals when they first went in
I wish I just stopped being a b***h and queued up now it's onto zurvan and people already fail the normal version of that shit.
zurvan is unironically easier than ultima
Have you done any 90 extremes? Zurvan is easier than doing most of the 90 extremes on-patch. Just watch a guide once through and make a prog from start party, go in with a learning mindset and it'll be easy peasy.
nah, I never actually did any ShB extremes when they were current either, idk why.
You just need to get over the fear. If you know the basics of your job and the fight you'll probably be one of the better players in an average PF.
oh absolutely, I did all of the arr extremes with duty finder when I first started playing just out of pure stubborness I think just to clear my quest log.
It's funny I do mentor roulettes now and I keep getting arr extremes but I can't be mad because I also used df all the way up to Titania lol.
I'll never forgot my Niddy kill with the PLD soloing the final 3% because everyone had died to orbs again, he must have been so happy to get out of there.
What happened to the gato?
She's trying out new clothes for the trip to the New World. It's a bit hotter there.
I never really liked Yshtola until now for some reason.
I just woke up from a coma and I'm wondering why everyone is raiding on Aether now? Primal is dead as frick for some reason and I can't even get any prog party going without waiting ten years in party finder.
Self-fulfilling prophecy and cycle. Other DCs are dead/worse at raiding so you have to travel to the "good one" to get parties.
>be crystal gay
>don't want to raid with crystal gays because they cant raid
>dc travel to aether to bypass this
>that mindset spreads
>crystal's pf is now dead
same thing happened slower on primal. And DC travel killed any hopes dynamis ever developed a player base as well.
Dynamis is now gonna be the Xbox Datacenter
Probably just the Dawntrail babies server which honestly isn't that bad of a fate.
it's moronic because i cleared asphodelos fine in crystal PF (well obviously not "fine" but no worse than average aether PFs)
and half the aether parties i join are made up entirely of people from crystal anyway
everyone's cucking themselves for no reason other than that everyone else is doing it
DC travel means that metagays all go to the same server to raid, and since the main limit on PF prog is the number of people doing the same thing as you, it just snowballs overtime into all the raiding happening on a single DC.
The solution is cross-DC PF for same server regions and disable PF when visiting other regions.
this game alive
this is the problem with bypassing roulettes with ilvl
It would really help if people posted their datacentre whenever they complain like this.
It's nice being a tank.
Depends what data centre you're on and role you're queuing in for.
Yup.
>Savage
>In duty finder
U fricking wot
You could've as well post coils "queue" kek moron

yeah it sounded like a shitshow. Security not letting you take your personal water bottle into the concert on 115 degree days even if it was empty and told people to leave them on a table outside.

Modern game conventions are for influencers to network with devs and eachother. Real fans should stay away.
You hit the nail on the head, Arthars, Xeno and a few of those streamers/ influencers had the best time of their lives apparently, but the normal fan it sounded like the absolute worst shit show possible.
I'm really having to consider here if I should go to the London fanfest, I've got a ticket but if the experience is just going to be waiting in lines for something you can see at home on stream.
I need to think about this seriously and see if they acknowledge what went from with the NA fanfest and say if they will do anything better for the London one.
Save your travel fare and take a vacation to Peru or something. I'm already planning that this Febuary to get myself in the right mindset.
>ake a vacation to Peru or something. I'm already planning that this Febuary to get myself in the right mindset.
Dare I say, Based?
SE, Yoshi and the entire team have been told for years to get their arses in gear and organise a proper Fanfest, but they really don't seem to want to do that and just want to give some stage presentation, a live letter and the Primals and that's it.
I hate to say it but past Blizzcons shoot SE out the fricking water with how they used to put on their cons, with Fan panels, Voice actors, dev panels Q&A segments, some real fan service.
SE are still too stiff and business like.
I don't think it'll ever change.
Blizzcon is so far above Fanfest it isn't even funny, maybe part of it is spreading yourself across half a dozen franchises instead of just one tired old ps3 port.
FF should be about the entire franchise not just the current trendy one.
>Blizzcon
At least they had a Q&A.
>Charisma voids giving non answers
That's not what a fan Q&A is for, it's a chance for fans to ask the devs questions they have related to the game. It's not meant to be a "streaming hype event moment".
Almost all gaming conventions have them, it's fricking moronic FFXIV doesn't.
They usually at least have a segment with pre-screened questions, did they not do that this year?
No, they had nothing. I think I saw they are scared to have them anymore because a gaming journalist asked a question related to ERP house/ club. I'm not sure if it's true or not it's just what I heard.
I do remember at the Stormblood fanfest yoshi getting annoyed live on stage at summoners constantly b***hing about pet glams and at one point saying “why are Americans so obsessed with butt sliders” so it’s probably not only because of that journo
I need that butt slider yoshi
Where the FRICK is my Feo Ul fairy glam, Yoshi?
Where's the Feo Ul minion god dammit
where's the feo ul permanent life companion
She will always be my lovely branch
xiv actually has real fan q and a's, they just do them in other places and always only with the japanese playerbase. remember that lalafell that gave yoshida a hard time about third party mods during the streaming q and a where they all stood inside labyrinth of ancients to organise the queue and stuff?
i don't think they do that at fanfes strangely enough
>Only with the Japanese playerbase
What's the point to have an NA and EU fanfest if you're going to neglect those players, I really don't understand the mindset of SE and the devs sometimes.
Glorious nippon samurai honor, prease undastand
Filthy gaijin.
> I really don't understand the mindset of SE and the devs sometimes.
it's not that hard to understand, they only care about JP players. they've admitted that they could implement cross-region travel but refuse to do it because japs would seethe about getting perry expeditioned
It's funny because they really don't and JP players are often confused why changes are made or things are added that they didn't ask for. CBU3 does things on their own and the regions point fingers at each other, although cross-region being on hold is most likely because of JP in this instance. I still think it's gonna happen, the <Voyager> is in the files as of 6.4 and they never add things they don't intended to use.
>they never add things they don't intended to use.
Ok BUT it was a different time and SCH being a split job with NIN being a mid-expansion job scared them off of delivering more, and then we got MCH as the gun job shortly after.
Revenge. SE will delete all NA server data on the anniversary of Hiroshima. Teach you to make a fricking movie about it.
yeah here it is. i don't even think it was from live letter, just some random ass marathon livestream with yoshida and foxclon
>Japanese only
>Scared fans might ask questions, "players will go black smoke at him"
What does this mean, angry questions?
yeah. they did end up asking some (relatively) spicy questions that made yoshida do double takes too. i don't think they'll do that in a live event though, it's strange but they seem to think that it's ok to have less corporate and more loose events during these random ass livestreams than things like fanfes
like questions like these would NEVER come up in an na fanfes
>ask hard question
>get empty answer where a "no" would've sufficed
All of Ions fan answer stuff have pissed me off lately, it's all just varations of "Yeah well that's an interesting thought, our team doesn't have time to talk about it right now but it's sometging we could be open to in the future."
>Announcing your gacha mobile sequel to a gathering your biggest and most hardcore pc players

>This must be one of the most out of touch things to ever happen in gaming.
it really wasn't though. They were already Diablo superfans, if anything they would be the most likely to play it (because everyone has phones, right?) Their true miscalculation was bait & switching people who were expecting D4 with Immortal. If there was no expectation of the next title then it would've gone over much better
And all they had to do was just show a flaming number 4 for 3 seconds.
