"Yoshida (reflecting on the fan festival): So from now on, we’ll keep working to surprise players and go beyond what they imagine. But that reminds me of something I regret… as we’ve continued to operate FF14, we’ve made the game more comfortable, a game you can play without stress. But looking back on the last 10 years, I’m thinking we’ve overdone that a bit.
Shimoda: What do you mean?
Yoshida: A video game should ofcourse have an element of stress, but how to handle that properly, is extremely difficult…
Shimoda: I can agree with that.
Yoshida: For example, in a side scrolling game, if there aren’t any holes you can drop down into if you miss a jump, ofcourse the game would lose its stress, but it would also lose its fun.
Yoshida: Speaking of FF14, I would like to restore that part a little bit. If we do that, we can give everyone a better challenge, in a good way, than ever before. "

the cultists are having fun so they should continue doing the same thing over and over again without changing anything significant so that they dont get upset about things
Cultist here! Would you like to run some roulettes?
That's how you get modern WoW.
Well what happens if you keep going further with WoW logic? XIV is already modern WoW but streamlined with a FF paint job.
>what happens if you keep going further with WoW logic?
you get actiblizzard failing rapidly even after being bought for an impossibly large amount of money by microsoft?
So will that mean Sony buys Square in this scenario?
legitimately don't think playstation could buy squeenix
I'm glad they were able to save this cat from those fricking bug freaks.
The most important part in any MMORPG game to retain a healthy community and economy, as this is what makes or breaks a game, is cracking down on all of the ERP scum and bots. Bots frick up the economy, also using bots for doing things in-game that you should be doing yourself should be grounds for an instant permanent ban. ERP scum are aware that many of the players are kids and their activities very often cross over to real life (asking for photos, money, requests to meet, sending pornographic material). Engaging in ERP should likewise be a permanent bannable offense as this kind of behavior won't stop after a temporary ban - those people are mentally unwell and potentially a danger to underaged players. Hell, they can engage in intense stalking behavior, including doxxing, against adults as well.
So, cracking down on ERP perverts and all botting activity is the absolute priority for any MMORPG to be a considered a serious contender on the market.
I would agree with you but honestly, there isn't any under the age of 25 playing XIV.
Let's not kid ourselves, most of the playerbase are knocking the 40 year old range with some going as far as 65-70, pretending there are actually underage boys and girls playing is naive.
Didn't a teenager go missing when he went to some irl ff14 meetup?
I have no idea who you play MMO's with but I honestly think this is the most delusional post in this thread, congrats
>"It's delusiooooonal xD"
Screamed anon while trying to staunch the bleeding on his butthole.
XIV is a retirement home for gamers, that's a fact.
Every MMO's core player base is like 80% 20-25
You know you CAN look up demographics online? Its not just an FF14 thing
>Every MMO's core player base is like 80% 20-25
its more around late 30s
Again you can just look it up like a 20 second google search shows you that its not true
are you talking about MMOs or MMORPGs? The most common age in XIV is mid-30s.
Well considering I said MMO multiple times Im guessing I meant MMO
If you want to section of the SUBSCRIPTION BASED CONTENT of mmo's no shit youre gonna find older people because monthly payments are not something anyone under 20 is going to do for the most part
You are the biggest moron in the entire thread. FFXIV is a mmorpg. Most mmorpg players are 35-40.
XIV is neither an mmo and most certainly isn't an rpg.
OVNwC? Online Visual Novel with Combat?
I guess that could work.
Every single discussion was about MMO's, FF14 included as its an MMO
YES ITS AN MMORPG WE KNOW BUT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT MMO AS A GENRE NOT JUST MMORPG
>ERM NO WE WERE ONLY TALKING ABOUT MMORPG'S
Please learn how to read. Dont reply because im not reading your answer
>I have no idea who you play MMO
who the frick do you play MMOs with? all mmos are filled with old people, any fricking game in the genre.
>Hell, they can engage in intense stalking behavior, including doxxing, against adults as well.
True. If I saw ingame drama what resulted in stalking/doxxing outside of the game (on social media, etc. it was always started by people engaged in ERP.
Took him this long to realize he dumbed down all the roles?
>no unique roles
>no unique itemization
>no unique battles outside of logic puzzles where guides trivialize them because netcode can't handle split decision making
>no unique side content that involves more than doing your rotation or going from A to B
>non-combat roles having interaction with combat roles in some fashion outside of raid week prep
>"the endgame is fashion!" when it doesn't even have the best fashion mechanics in an MMO and armor sets are getting even more samey
etc
> no unique battles because of code
More like because the majority of players don't know elementary level math. Do you even know what prime numbers are b***h? What's 2+2? Quick homosexual, what do you add to 5 to reach a total of 8? You can't do it can you? Fricking spastic FF players.
MINE! ALL MINE!
maybe the japanese are finally speaking out
>dumbed down
outside of enmity management, the jobs were still incredibly entry level in ARR
>t. played 1.0 (briefly), arr alpha and beta, and year 1 arr
The only time jobs were ever remotely complex was Heavensward and they walked that back immediately.
Giving BRD and MCH cast times was stupid though, might as well just play a caster at that point.
I like the PvP solution of giving the skills cast bars but letting you move during them so it's more GCDs you can't weave shit into than having to full commit to a cast like an actual caster.
MCH was built around it with the ammo mechanics. BRD just had it tacked on to match MCH and it was fricking awful. you had people cross-classing feint just so they had an instant gcd for when they needed to move.
On one hand Ninjas are in a weird fricking state right now and they definitely don't feel like they were intended for it. But on the other hand, Ninjas having to do literally everything as the ultimate party DPS support is some fricking weird ass shit that no one liked except for complexity addiction types. It makes me wish they got a rework to give them something a bit more distinct beyond a DoT and situational cooldowns, while Viper gets the crazy melee focus finger pretzel shit.
I miss having to pop fricking poisons to do max dps
>dumbed down all the roles?
All roles are button bloated.
>AST
>PLD
skill issue?
You don't need 32+ buttons for a class to make them complex or interesting.
Especially if most things would work with 1 button instead of 3.
I know this is bait, but just to get it on paper, the dumbing down of roles refers to how little the game requires you to do your job.
Dps checks are nonexistent aside from one door boss each savage tier, maybe. Holding bursts or dps usage of their support mits aren’t required for most fights.
Healers are glorified dps and once you route out the big heals you’re left with so much unused healing in most of savage.
Tanks are glorified dps and you don’t even have to route out your mits, because the healers can prop up an afk tank in all of savage.
All of this to say that difficulty in EW is quite high in the sense that fights have punishing body check mechanics. Adding stress to the base gameplay challenges would make things a lot more fun than constantly wiping because the pranged keeps standing on a landmine 5minutes into each pull.
>I know this is bait
XIV players like you are delusional. All you do is talking about "muh instanced content".
XIV has a fundamental flaw in his class design. Nothing is complex or interesting about pressing dozens of buttons if they doing nothing special and just lazy design to bloat the whole shit.
Guild Wars 1 is still unmatched and heck, even games like BDO or retail WoW has better class design.
>Retail WoW has better class design
The game FAMOUS for having incredibly BAD class design is certainly not better.
Hell you can look up a CURRENT rotation for almost any class and its 7-8 buttons with builder/spenders or procs and thats it. The only good thing about retail WoW is that it feels smooth thats it
>3 buttons combo for ST damage
>2 buttons combo for AoE damage
>3 buttons combo for dmg buff
>3 buttons combo for attack with self heal
>every 2 mins awesome burst window
>moronic 3 button combo to change the stance of your neo-vegana
XIV is pure button bloat
I mean there is button bloat for sure. But I would take that over
>5 cooldown abilities
>1 builder
>1 spender
>1 aoe
>t. Had never played wow and they are just repeating shit they heard from other people
Cute
>The game FAMOUS for having incredibly BAD class design is certainly not better.
Wtf are you smoking moron? In what world is wow famous for bad class design, when one of the biggest complaint about XIV is that every single class/roles feel the same.
I've seen enough interviews of Yoshida to know not to take at face value anything he says.
Also Yoshipee: myths of the realm will be Ivalice difficulty
DT (japanese for virgin) is going to be as fricking boring as casualbringers and shitwalker
Alliance raids are supposed to be easy. They're catchup raids. Their entire purpose is to catch up on gear easily. It has been every single time.
XVI was unironically a better final fantasy than XIII or XV. I hope they make the next one not a dumbass action game, but to say XVI was a bad game is honestly idiotic.
>Alliance raids are supposed to be easy
There is easy and there is literally afk content, but they must reflect the quality of playerbase I suppose
>Alliance raids are supposed to be easy
No. LotA wasn't easy. The grp had to work together and most roles had specific things to do in a fight (like healing the pots) or the fight resulted in a wipe.
But most people were to dumb for this shit so they reduced the difficulty with each new alliance raid.
Heck, at release of LotA the rate to wipe was higher as coil.
I wish they added elements in the game so classes and weapons could have some degree of customization and bosses requiring some prep and not just go blind and spam buttons.
who do you think is the one who made everything like this in the first place
Why don’t admit that they’re all hacks. They could’ve been under slave labour conditions comparable to working in a congo cobalt mine, and still every modern SE game would be shit
>tfw every expansion I've played less and less
Won't even buy Yawntrail. I've truly accepted that MMO's are dead.
Yeah
>Ignore the avatargays, use filters to block them out even
>They just make more every day, or edit older ones, deliberately to make filtering them impossible
>Meanwhile, there is always at least one anon who is ERPing with them, thereby validating them with attention as much as the people who seethe about them
Realistically at this point we need an admin to come in and rangeban them for good. It's been going on for more than a year now, they've made it clear their only interest is to turn these threads into /xivg/ 2: Electric Boogaloo, they maliciously evade filters that were created specifically for them (the equivalent to blocking someone ingame, and then they just made alts to continue pestering you), and ignoring them doesn't work because they either reply to themselves, or some anon will ERP with them.
No idea who they are, what has been compelling them to do this for over a year now (literally every single day since they appeared last February), they're here 16 hours straight and the only reprieve is when they go to bed, but it's clear they're never going to stop unless they eventually get bored. But looking at the degenerates in /xivg/ and how long they've been keeping it up, unless the game outright shuts down I don't expect them to ever go away. And even THEN.....
Mods should just enforce rule 13 on them, I have no idea why they refuse to (when I have seen them ban other avatarags, like that one femroe a while back). No other game on this board has this problem of some attentionprostitute breaking rule 13 every thread with impunity and just contributing shitposts and pissing everyone there off. So I don't know why FFXIV has to be subject to this and FFXIV alone.
>leave the threads half a year ago after losing all interest in xiv and unsubbing
>used to schizopost and hatepost the lalafel avatargays and write posts just like this
>decided randomly to check on xiv threads, see how they're doing
>the lalagays are still at it, schizoposters are still at it
>nothing changed
>game is still shit
holy shit...
all we asked for was QoL improvements you didn't have to lobotomize every job too
Intentional inconvenience is the beating heart of MMOs. Hopefully he sticks to this. I imagine he does understand that, given he's an old MMO Grognard that played DAoC and shit like that, but his personal likes for MMOs are likely at odds with what the market research says works.
wow, japanese must've been really pissed then because entire entire planet were saying this shit and they ignored it
You will always be gaijin aka a Black person to the japanese and nothing will change it, now pay your sub.
>FFXIV thread up an hour
>dead thread
this game is really killing itself huh? and still 3+ more months until an expansion nobody cares for
lalas are the only thing keeping the game alive obviously
Would somebody really do that? Go on the internet and tell lies?
Sorry I was Frontlinesing, what's up?
XIV's peak, in my opinion, is alot like genshin impacts peak, it came (with it's best expansion) in the midst of an absolute dry spell for mmo players when wow was at it's worst and negativity was rampant and it capitalized.
But now the landscape is different. There's alot more competition out there for everyone and xiv's gimmicks and repeat content just doesn't cut it in 2024. I think DT is gonna perform worse than they expect, not awful but worse, and that will be the thing that FINALLY makes them take some risks with the game.
I'm actually looking to get into a new mmorpg, any suggestions?
lol you really don't know do you? That's the sad part.
I thought poster count dying would turn the thread into a warzone, guess not
When everyone can samegay, no one will samegay. It's brilliant.
Not much to talk about until the 7.0 expansion drops and everyone shitposts spreading malaria to the new world.
so they're going to start copying WoW again? Pandering to people who only erp can get you so far...
lalas ruined the game and the threads
dead thread
dead game
>/vg/
why the frick did they remove the ip count that was so dumb
>why the frick did they remove the ip count that was so dumb
I forgot about that....
So true anon! You nailed it!
yoshit piss not only killed final fantasy with XVI but also his shitty second life sim with endwalker
with the failure that was rebirth, Dawntrail is gonna be the final nail in the coffin for the franchise once yoshit pissers realize they dont have a cringe eceleb like assmongold that will never touch their games again along with better games out like helldivers and bg3
its fricking over. Assmon gave all this momentum to XIV and it still killed itself. It was so bad that not even assmon can get past the free trial of XIV despite hitting peak views and popularity for hyping up the game
yoshit piss sisters? your responses?
reddit spacing
My response? All true, they did absolutely nothing with the momentum the game got from Asmon shilling it and WoW shitting itself.
AAAAIIIIEEEE YOSHIT PISS SISTERS NOT LIKE THIS AAAAAAAAACK
UMMMMMMM YOSHIT PISS SISTERS???? WE HAVE NO RESPONSE TO THIS AND WE GOT COMPLETELY BTFO’D BY THIS RESPONSE
HOW DO WE DAMAGE CONTROL?
ill…*sniff*…show YOU….NOW LET ME GET OUT…*sniff* *winper* MY LALA FOLDER TO….*moan* *sniff* BTFO YOUUUUUUUUUU
*shits Xerself and dilates*
Honest question, did the graphics rework only happen because Asmonger kept b***hing about how ugly the game is? Are there any datamines indicating it was going to be a thing before that happened?
We all know Yoship is a westernboo, but that just sounds pathetic to me
no. yoship has been pretty vocal about the game's graphics since ARR
am I supposed to believe this? The guy didn't even catch the endwalker grapes.
Worst case scenario they'll remove Yoshi-P and put someone else in charge. At this point, FF XIV is like WoW, too big to fail regardless of the usual Tortanic doomposters.
But yeah, kinda wishing for early Dawntrail to be a frick up on the level of BfA. We need something to change.
>Too big to fall
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA XIV hasn't had a lick of the cultural impact wow has, no one knows what XIV is and it's only being carried by a couple thousand players at best
>they'll remove Yoshi-P
lol you don't remove a board of directors member
It's Japan, if the frick up is big enough, he'll quit in shame, it's not like America where the execs will happily fire half of the company to give themselves a bonus.
What are they going to do, make the monsters in the zones worth bonking on the head?
Why backtrack their directive line. Make them all passive, the only thing the mobs have ever done was make us run past the NPC we were looking for in order to leash them.
>that gif
>NOPE!
Come on he's thirsty.
If only he had this epiphany when he play-tested FFXVI. Who the frick thought that no elemental weakness and casualized DMC should be the bedrock of the combat system for a single player RPG with no party members?
yoshit piss did. He is exactly what killed this franchise and now FLOPtrail is crashing with no survivors
Hilarious how the expansion that was meant to put wow out of it's misery ended up being the one that killed XIV.
>Helldivers
>good game
It's a FOTM game for westroons who have never played EDF. Frick off.
helldivers is an actual video game instead of a visual novel
>BUT ITS FOTM
Just like XIV when ecelebs advertised XIV for a month just to ditch and XIV still couldnt even get 1/4th of helldivers peak
>NOOO NO NO STEAM DOESNT COUNT NOOOOOOO
cope yoshit pisser. Remember how you gays said BG3 flopped and XVI outsold it? LMAOOOOO
Take your meds WoWtroon.
>helldivers
>actual videogame
Lol Lmao. It's your average shooting game with nothing behind it other than muh social media hype. You gays act as if it's a revolution when in reality its a poor man's EDF with realistic looking graphics to entice dumbass westerners like you.
Keep your projection to yourself.
>poor mans EDF
thats why only 5 people play it right? Sounds like XIV in 5 years
>Your regular shooter
So a video game? Thanks for confirming
meanwhile XIV is a 300 hour visual novel that only the most mentally ill people will get through while they erp with trannies in their offtime. XIV isnt a game and thats why helldivers will always have a higher playercount
nta but isn't helldivers 2 fricked with microtransactions and invasive anti cheat?
>Micro-transactions
can get them all by playing unlike XIV
>can get them all by playing
Is this one of those things that's technically true but it would take you an exorbitant amount of time compared to just paying real money? Because I see that shit a lot.
Before the Helldivers 2 patch no it wasn't true, now after the patch yes it's true, they nerfed Super Earth credit spawn amounts and the amount you get. Used to be 50-60-100 as the normal now it's at 10 super credits these are the premium currency and as I said spawn rates are very heavily reduced.
>pay 40 dollars to get most content plus the rest you can get through playing
vs
>pay for XIV plus expansion plus an MMO fee and have mounts/cloths locked behind 30 dollar MTX store that you have to pay for
fricking pathetic you criticize Helldivers 2 for MTX when you gotta pay a few hundred dollars just to play XIV for a few months and thats without any MTX
this is more proof that XIV trannies are in a cult
>when you gotta pay a few hundred dollars just to play XIV for a few months
>few hundred dollars
What shithole are you living in out of curiosity?
It has a premium battlepass that costs $15 AUD to buy flat. You do get premium currency through the free BP and just randomly on maps, I think a mate said it was 700 premium currency in the base BP with the premium costing 1k. The game has daily special armours you can buy for premium currency which are exclusive to the rotations, they seem to be a lot better than the gear you can get without. Apparently the premium BP doesn't expire once you get it so you can do it in your own time once you have got it for what that is worth.
How many friends did you play FFXIV with? I can already tell how influential you must be in your social circles from the way you lash out at people for having fun without you.
>it's a game you play with friends and I have no friends so it's FOTM
yoshit pissers only have their troon “friends” to dilate with. The moment there is a little bit of stress with a game they start to seethe
If anything EDF is the flavor of the month that youtubers like Penguinz0 make videos off since it looks and plays like shit it's basically free content for the morons.
Here's how to add extra stress to the game in an easy way without affecting gameplay at all and make all the cultists shit themselves
- force game client to take screenshot of your game at absolutely random times and have them posted on special dedicated official twitter account with your lodestone link attached
Assmangled didn't even finish Heavensward right? IIRC he stopped before he even reached Stormblood, or did he played a bit further in his other channel? Kinda glad he's trying to get out of his MMO addiction to be honest. Seeing him trying other games like MonHun is refreshing.
>DOOD MY WOWIE ZOWIE ECELEB
>OMG ASSMON IS PLAYING FFXIV WE FRICKING WON *insert dancing lala here*
>ASSMON LEFT? UMMM…FILTERED….ALL THE ECELEBS LEFT? AAAAAAIIIIEEEEEEEE IM GONNA PRETEND I ALWAYS…*sniff* hated them….
>*XIV shuts down 5 years later*
The summer of '21 was actually a really funny time for xiv and wow. Like, it comes out blizzard's male feminists were all a bunch of sex pests, and you wonder how it could get worse for them as a company. Then a few days later it comes out that someone was stealing fricking breast milk out of the company fridge.
which lala are you?
queue for haukke manor (hard) on crystal to meet up with a genuine lala!
still asshurt lmao
the XIV community? Yeah they got mindbroken when ecelebs all left their game
still asshurt
WoW fanboys are literally mentally ill. Holy shit it's so sad.
he beat Susano. which means he's through the worst part of stormblood
Ah yes, watching a tremendous homosexual badly play monster hunter. Lovely.
Frick off.
holy damn yoshit troons are getting bullied ITT hard as frick today
its because nobody likes em. This thread is just a way to bully them back to their /trash/ general aka /xivg/
they cannot stop getting bullied
Just make every zone like a eureka zone and the stress will flow, all kinds of stresses.
was anantaboga's room always this open with the open ceiling? i don't recall ever seeing AK getting redone at any point aside from nerfing the bosses
It always looked like that, you just haven't run it in a long time and it isn't noticeable when it's dark
>it's another episode of western mmo gays being OBSESSED with XIV
Do people really play this game without any friends? Conquering content with people I’ve known for years while building up our FC house and socializing was what made the game fun for me
Of course it's the only lasting source of fun but the youngs are dramaqueens and the olds are tired zombies, friendship is difficult. It's too easy to get tied up in an incompatible group because the people are nice.
I do, I used to be in an FC but the drama was spilling over into the game for me and I started to hate the game so I gave both the FC and game a break, came back the drama homosexualry was over and the FC was fricked.
I've been spending more time in Bojza and Eureka lately more so with Eureka as it's got huge player counts at the moment thanks to Pints Youtube video about it.
Conquering what content?
Also the msq, aka the 95% of this mmo, is single player. Beating all the expqnsions without socializing with a single human being is game's design.
ff14 is a single player game disguised as a mmo why would I play with other people, so we can all solo the msq and do like 4 things together? it has no actual mmorpg content in it.
>it has no actual mmorpg content in it.
Post savage and ultimate clears then. And your extreme clears, too. You AT LEAST did them... right?
>ddr dance routines
That's not content.
do you suck jeff kaplans dick 24/7?
>It has no MMORPG content
>But did you do 8 man content?
I said MASSIVELY you fricking Black person. have a nice day raidtroony.
This. Group content doesn't equal MMO. If it did, then Fortnite is more of an MMO than FFXIV is considering that game features 100 players with groups up to 4.
Any article or interview you see Yoshida give can you lads link it, I saw he gave play Magazine which was reported by various outlets talking about the Cosmic Exploration a couple of days ago, and OP is referring to a separate interview he gave to Famitsu.
He's currently on a press tour and I know he's at Pax East on the 22nd for a panel on FF16 and the 23rd for a panel on FF14 and DT.
Any and all information would be helpful.
can you read japanese?
Yes, but he has a translator with him for interviews he gives to western outlets.
go to umadori and you'll find whenever he has an interview related to XIV. they'll usually post it there.
There's really only the famitsu interview up from what I can see
I'm looking at the interview I read in the western rags and the Famitsu interview he gave and you're right. He only gave one interview and the other outlets all wrote the interview, some passing it off as their own, others giving credit to Famitsu. I fricking hate how inaccurate games journos are, I shouldn't be surprised but still it's very lazy when they do this shit.
Game journos are literally so subhuman they couldn't hack it doing a slimebag job like regular journalism and fell even further down the ladder, remember that
Too little, too late.
The hack and his kusoge can crash and burn for all I care.
I'll believe it when I see it of course but damn those are some welcome words to hear out of Yoshida.
they're never gonna be able to crank up the base MSQ difficulty anymore, not without adding "very easy" versions of every single-player instance or having the 90% of the playerbase who are shitters complaining non-stop until they dumb it down again.
>too little too late
>Which is why I lurk FFXIV threads because I don't care at all
>Reached lvl 70 White Mage
>Haven't played in a couple of years
>Have an itch to jump back in but I forgot everything and wouldn't know how to even get back in the swing of things
It's over.
healing is so piss easy now you can just mash your healing buttons and clear any content in the game
do a deep dungeon. people won't care if you focus on healing
This is all true, moreover than actually fulfilling my role I just flat out would not know what to do and or resume doing upon logging back in. Seems daunting.
you have one damage spell, one dot, one AoE, and a ton of buttons you can mash to make people not die
The hardest part about healing is staying awake while leveling it because the role is fricking dull
not true.
the influx of absolute shitters that decided they want to be tanks makes healing a free lobotomy.

It almost sounds like him admitting the game is too easy is coming through grit teeth. I was hoping they realized their problem at the release of EW, but if they're just figuring it out now they're fricked since nothing will even start to change for another two years, the way they work.
frick man i played this game every single day for hours back during HW. wish i could go back.
the only thing that can save ff14 is private servers
Shit flinging aside the game is a real chore now. I hate healing current content because it's just keeping tempo with the fight. There's very little decision making anymore and as a matter of fact your basically punished for problem solving. Players would rather you just allow others to die than to stop glare botting.
Stance switching was stupid. I don’t like the dumbing down of classes but I really liked when that skill was removed.
i was incredibly happy when they announced it was getting removed and then i actually played the game post-removal and was so disappointed at how boring healing is without it. there used to be risk/reward to dpsing as a healer but now the only challenge is seeing how long you can go without looking away from your other monitor.
You can risk two extra attack spells and then wow you're running late for healing just like back then. Same thing.
nah SCH had like 6 DoTs to set up before switching back
>switching back
scholar didn't ever take cleric stance off anon
they did when lustrate got nerfed

Miasma 2 wasn't worth in single target like in SB
WAR should have doubled down on stance switching instead of getting rid of it
Breath some damn adventure into this game, god damn cardboard dioramas.
Here's a monster, it gives nothing. Here's a town, there's nobody worth talking to, no reason to hang out in it. Here's a cliff, it's out of bonds background. Here's a ruin, it has monsters in it, they give nothing. Here's a landmark, it's pretty, maybe you can perch on it.
FIND SOMETHING 8 years ago i thought, i don't know, the adventure would somehow materialize at some point.
honestly not even open world games actually do anything meaningful with their spaces either. gigantic expanses for the sake of having nothing but spoonfuls of quests, hunts and material gathering points is somehow on the less sparing side than so many games out there where you visit a spot for a single collectible and then never again
True i guess but ffxiv is emptier than most other empty vapid games. Post a screenshot of a character looking at the horizon with an axe on his back, some beasts, some vegetation and it'll siphon any happiness i may have from the pressure differential.
I don't mind grinding, i love safe zones and i have earned the right to shit on ffxiv. The god damned FATEs. The themepark situation is so bad it convinced everyone that it's impossible to do an MMO at all
All posts in this thread are me. I'm him. I'm the guy.
Add build through itemization that change the way the class plays. Frick the balance Black folk, make people play and hunt for gear. Troons only want to dilate and not touch the game
Bring back the old crafting you bastard
The guy has been pushing for this game to become more and more solo friendly for the sake of the story. Honestly the game isn't inconvenient enough considering you don't even have to do any normal raids, half the trials and only one alliance raid is needed
All this content and people want to skip it
>and only one alliance raid is needed
and that one alliance raid is so hilariously power creeped that the mechanics barely matter besides "don't stand in death spot" and "someone's gonna have to get vored".
Honestly they're all easy. The only one that actually keeps me on my toes are the Nier raids. The current raids, on release, were pitiful and only the first one was actually good
I think the Ivalice raids are fun, but then Orbonne Monastery is etched into my brain playing it 40 times in a couple weeks just for the fricking Agrias gloves. But I get what you mean by Nier being the only one with any real challenge honestly, since it actively fricks with you at some points and really puts your face to the grinder with something on the opposite side of the arena ready to nuke you unless you know absolutely every trick thoroughly.
>That one boss where you can aim a laser at the other alliance causing a wipe
Still funny when it happens
>was tanking the fight and accidentally did it to an an entire alliance two months ago after the patch because I forgot that attack
>end up tanking two frickers at the same time and we managed to save it
In some ways I think it was a good idea that things got simplified and streamlined AND HERE ME OUT so a norm can be established for things to then deviate from and be more unique.
That said, I still want my fricking MNK stances back.
i wonder if XVI helped him realize that dumbing games down to complete moron levels isnt a good thing
He has had WoW to look upon and still used it for inspiration
remember when yoshi p said they were going to give every healer's aoe a debuff like the stun on holy?
Didn’t gravity used to inflict heavy?
nope
Holy frick the timeline really did shift.
Yes it did. It did used to do "Some" other effect. Or wait. Maybe I just wanted it to, because holy does the stun and you can chain/triple stun with it for aoe, and i thought maybe just giving some kind of slow like the same one from the tank class arm's length slow
but no
Gravity has heavy in PVP anon
That's it
i'd much rather have art or war once holy's stun goes on DR
Art of war sucks. The AoE is so tiny and it’s a shit looking spell.
I forgot they fricked my Holy up.
don't like your butterflies and flowers anon?
My job is not Flower Mage.
just wait till Holy IV and it will look like Lisa Frank unicorn vomit everywhere
could've fooled me
stupid fricking c**t healbawd b***h shut up and suck my dick on your knees NOW on your knees b***h NOW
q'd
but where was Holy II?
We'll see how much shit Yoshi is full of on this when people get to play the jobs at the Media Tours.
I'm expecting the Dragoon rework to only simplify it further before we actually get any depth added back. Unless the entire point of Dawntrail being a "new starting point" was to begin escalating challenge and mechanics from the outset, it's too set in its ways this far in development to be anything but more of what we expect.
>used to get all excited for media tour details to see all the cool new things they'd be adding to my job
>now i just dread seeing all the things they're going to frick up and remove
>We'll see how much shit Yoshi is full of on this when people get to play the jobs at the Media Tours.
Yeah, we would see if the ones attending the media tour were "people" and not youtubers that will glaze to hell and back taking advantage of the hype to get their boost in revenue.
Once the tooltips are out in the wild we'll be able to form our own opinions without the Youtube wienersuckers trying to spin things
how different were the tooltips in the media tour compared to release for endwalker?
iirc some very minor changes but nothing earth shattering on release. i remember something about samurai having a yukikaze ice spin-slash for AoE that got nixed for being awkward
Listen to the sound of protection.
I really miss the sound of Protect being applied pre pull even if it was a completely filler skill
there's nothing they can do to surprise the playerbase that's been playing for more than just 1 expac. even if there is some new creative idea they have the engine won't allow it. SE has no interest in developing a new MMO so all they have is the ff14 shitbox and all money goes to other projects besides a brand new MMO or even back into ff14. in the words of yoship "stop playing my game".
I think he's right but at the same time it's far too late, most of the game's current userbase isn't interested in being challenged.
>personal LBs
>mechanics using DPS role actions
that's all im asking for DT yoshida
I'm still bothered that only LB3s look unique, and at the end of the day they're still role-based so they all do exactly the same shit as each other anyway. Gunbreaker or Dark Knight creating giant shields feels lame but entire fights are oriented around the "hype Tank LB3 moment" and you'd always do DPS LBs anyway if the opportunity arose because that's the very nature of the game.
It's one of those many things where it really feels like what Final Fantasy is and what these numerous Jobs represent, met an awkward collision with the WoW MMO gameplay standard, and the standard won out in nearly every single occasion.
Sorry, that's only for PvP.
Now if we can get content that mixes the PvP job design with deep dungeon content / forays, I'll be intrigued.
The latest alliance raids cured my insomnia.
>logging in on expac day and seeing half the buttons on your hotbar greyed out
Who gives a shit what yoship says? He's always lying
He's going to pull another diadem from his ass. You know it was his very own baby and so i'm sure he still hasn't let go.
Yeah, the universe galaxy or whatever is the named of that shit will be just diadem covered in dynamis, it'll also serve as a further way to legitimize dynamis as a concept shoehorning more time into it so you don't feel like it was an asspull, also do not expect it to arrive into the game till 7.3.5.
If it's gonna be Ishgard Restoration 2 like they've hinted that came in patch 5.1 so I doubt it'd get pushed back 2.5 patches
Island sanctuary was supposed to be a release feature of endwalker and see where it ended up
Yeah but Island Sanctuary was also complete fricking ass and didn't have the community building aspect attached to it. IR needed all the patches it got to piece together what was being built piece by piece.
No, no. We're going back to the diadem. Scratch the record, try again from the ground up.
It's up
Watched this before, I did enjoy him blowing the frick out of the moronic 1.0gays who constantly try to gaslight people about how it was some kind of golden age.
Who the frick ever said 1.0 was a good game? 1.0 is renowned for being one of the worst FFs and it almost sank the company.
>Who the frick ever said 1.0 was a good game
you haven't been in these threads enough
Everyone said that XIV was only bad because of the technical aspect and that SQE tried it to push it too early to concurrent with Cataclysm.
They even stated on the Gamescom 2010 that they need two more years to make finish the game. There were some interviews in german magazines.
hey you. yeah you. queue up for lost city of amdapor (normal) on crystal
>crystal
lalagay uppity today. really treats this thread like a secondary frien
Is really that hard to make the raids fun for casual people? I loved the stormblood raids because they offered different mechanics with the gravity, the painting, the sand maze, etc
Casual people don't want mechanics
I simply don't care.
I went back to Ephinea and Turtle.
Yoshi p is too much of a pussy to EVER go back on current design and chase away the second life crowd.
>and chase away the second life crowd.
Complex gameplay and letting the ERP gays do what they want don't inherently mean they intersect. Especially if MSQ progression still isn't much to write home about.
>wow
lmfao
>New World
>isn't new or a world
>gridania

>isn't on ya
I wonder if the Viper video was a beta or something because aside of the lightspeed dashes, he looked very boring visually compared to Reaper
If anything it's the full version, never expect this team to deliver something beyond what they show
reminder samurai was the exact same way
it's for wowgays who wanted rogue, its supposed to look boring
generic melee dps man is a niche that people have wanted for years although I get the feeling they're going to prank eveyone by revealing that actually viper has all the laser beam shit zidane uses since viper has the same dual swords that combine gimmick
it's way too late to be saying this
it's great news if this represents the direction of dawntrail dont get me wrong
but the extremely large amount of casual players will be put off by this and quit. they want frictionless.
I'm not sure that's true, using the relic as an example. Pretty much everyone hates how it's just been a moronic tomestone vendor exchange this time around compared to in the past. Casuals don't mind grindy shit at all so long as it's not overly hard.
sure, but what's the barometer for overly hard? it's different for every player. when w game is extremely accessible for long enough a certain kind of casual becomes the common player. and that player hates impediments and just wants the next cutscene.
That's the trick, to find that balance. Yoshi is acknowledging (again, taking his comments at face value and not through the lens of Yoshi lying his ass off) that they've went a bit overboard in sanding down the edges for most people. I doubt this means you're gonna see 24 mans hard walling PFs like the Mhach/Orbonne days but perhaps seeing 1-2 wipes per run will become common again.
As long as the mods still exist the casuals will not go away, Yoshida is safe as long as he protects his true cashcow, modders.
I wouldn't need them if they actually told me what my stats did.
It's a fricking moronic thing to say at this point because there's 10 years worth of content that is casual slop, and they just literal years making sure all those dungeons can be cleared by absolutely braindead bots.
Then when you get to dawntrail you suddenly can't have to pay attention? Nice schizo game.
dungeons haven't had teeth since pharos sirius in 2.1 anon. i get the feeling you're playing a different game
there's "this is easy lol" and then there's "we had to remove everything that made this dungeon unique because our bot AI is too fricking terrible to do even the most basic gimmicks."
alright. now you need to provide an argument for the statement 'unique is necessarily good'
I only argue with people that have souls, which you clearly do not since you're in favor of removing even the tiniest amount of gameplay variety this piece of shit game had in favor of maximizing farming so that you afk at limsa quicker.
>i disagree with your statement
>you don't have a soul
...he better not turn this thing into modern WoW. I want to play 14 BECAUSE it isn't doing the shit WoW does nowadays.
FF14 has been shit for years. Combat is so outdated and the graphics are washed out.
bottom right looks like tera lmfao
Step in the right direction but I rather they work on the world more.
Unfortunately I didn't save the world screenshots, nor do I have good quality ones overall. They are revising areas to have more detail, PBR details and modified lighting, more plant life and foliage in various places where necessary and so forth, but in a gradual world roll-out rather than all at once, plus redone visual effects like fog to be more properly realistic at the water level rather than simply a radial sphere around you. But whether it'll actually make the game more vibrant and look better or not we'll have to wait and see, and even if it does, that doesn't fix the content issues within said world.
>but in a gradual world roll-out rather than all at once, plus redone visual effects like fog to be more properly realistic at the water level rather than simply a radial sphere around you.

>rolled out
Lmao yeah just like Hrothgar and Viera hats
more like the dungeon reworks in each 6.x patch to make them duty supportable
plus the furries and trix rabbits HAVE had a catch-up in that regard by technicality, viera males don't have the same backend problems that females do in regards to their ear/face separation
I'm very annoyed that they're too afraid of "people's ideas of their characters not looking right" interrupting them actually updating character models.
Just give people a free trip to the barber to change their face if it doesn't look quite right to them after a model update.
With what they're doing here, it really looks like too little of an update.
Funny enough, people cheered at hearing they'd get a free Fantasia just in case folks weren't satisfied. Because of course they cheered.
>they're too afraid of "people's ideas of their characters not looking right"
>Meanwhile "We're smearing a mountain of gloss on anyone that uses dark skin tones get fricked lmao"
So the faces are blurry and the armor is more detailed?

Dress Krile in the AF you fricking cowards
They never dress characters with their job artifacts outside of Estinien and Thancred
They could have at least had the decency to update her outfit beyond just having her wear pants now if they weren't gonna hard commit to the AF
Who gives a shit?
Me, obviously
No one would have recognized her without her hoodie. Mainly because her character is completely changed in 6.55 for whatever reason.
6.55 sucked dick all around. When Graha somehow is the best written character you know you done fricked up.
Delete Krile from the game you fricking cowards
I mean, frick. Yes they should make things more complicated and difficult, but he's aware 90% of the player base is too stupid to even clear a current EX, right?
That's fine, because only 1 of 8 need to know the mechanics, everyone else can just follow them
>tfw had to stop playing healer because of that frog boss in the 2nd last Endwalker dungeon
How is that fair, if you don't Esuna straight away someone will immediately die while the tank and DPS don't need to react nearly as fast.
i need more context for this post. it feels like you could replace several individual words to make it make sense
Caustic Grebuloff, from The Dead Ends
Sorry, meant The Dead Ends, forgot the dungeon order
why don't the tank and dps need to react as fast? also you have 12 seconds
i personally like to let them sweat because that particular doom debuff has a screen and heartbeat effect to it so they panic
The doom is a healer specific mechanic. if the DPS or tank frick up they literally cannot do anything to save themselves. Jesus Christ dude it's literally the one thing you're actually responsible for since the rest of your job is mindlessly mashing one button 95 percent of the time.
i believe you mislinked
Perhaps I did. I stand by what I said though even if I aimed it at the wrong post.
That's fair, but after a few wipes I stopped playing healer entirely. I finished endwalker with a Tank and then quit the game, it was really demoralizing.
the second boss in Aetherfont is a bear, and doesn't have anything you described.
if i had to guess he's talking about Galtea Magna from lapis manalis who has a doom mechanic if you fail most of her mechanics
I doubt it. The game has been getting casualised and homogenised for years, why reverse course now?
Because they clearly reached a tipping point, EW feedback has all been pretty much "shit's too easy now" (barring a few OF homosexuals that lack the neurons to form a synapse struggling with solo duties).
True I suppose. I had to stop playing summoner because it was so braindead boring in comparison to ShB.
you can't really get any more casual now besides removing all positionals, or redoing all MSQ trials to be duty support-functional, which isn't very viable by the MSQ's own established plot standards. they want Dawntrail to be a start of a "new era for the next 10 years", so this shit basically has to go up or people really will start raising hell.
>why reverse course now?
FF16 didn't hit like they wanted it to, so the other exit path for the devs is out and it has many of the same complaints regarding combat as XIV
Less hype about Dawntrail than usual for a new expansion
They had to stop selling ShB because it sold out, but those players are not sticking around and it doesn't look like they'll be coming back for the expansion either
XIV is their only hope for continuing live-service revenue and its popularity is now waning
They knew what players wanted for years now, but didn't want to abandon their own story-focused, gameplay-last philosophy. Now they're getting forced to since its effects are finally starting to pile up on them and there is no covid or WoW-shitstorm on the horizon to help them out like before
Slow down Maurice. Yoshi-P said something in a interview, he likes to say various things.
"Game is a little too stress free" is a complete 180 from their course for the last few years, including 16. Him saying anything in the ballpark of 'the game is too easy' is massive, considering how hard they've tried to stamp out player skill differences over the last few expansions. That shit ain't coming out lightly.
He also said you're a Black person from participating in NM trains instead of playing eureka correctly.
And that shit came back to bite him in the ass after Eureka participation plummeted in Pagos
Because you're all homosexuals who did NM trains, of course you bite ass.
>playing the game efficiently is bad
Kek get fricked moron. And before you accuse me of being a leech no I was there spawning the NMs with the real groups.
Then you and i are brothers in chains.
I haven't paid attention to fan fests.
Did they announce dx12/vulkan support yet? Having sub 120 fps in limsa triggers me, the game needs optimization.
you get shit fps because of your cpu
I doubt that 5800x is not enough for ffxiv.
I manage to get 120 fps in much more demanding games like MH World.
whats your ram at? are you running mare?
16 gb ram running at 4000 mhz
0 mods installed, not even ACT
rtx 3070
It only happens in populated areas like limsa or hunts
also when are they going to add HDR support?
Player numbers must have dropped pretty badly even for the end of an expansion if he's thinking of course correcting finally.
I have saved the universe from heatdeath despair, what else do these writers want me to do next?
everything from this point on is filler until EoS
Go colonize some natives
The mamool ja?
There's plenty of brown cats running around I'm sure.
No, the Pelupelu, which are tiny people.
beach episode
That man speaks the truth.
FAT CAT TATS
Why am i supposed to hate her?
She did murder Yda.
okay and?
>yoshida interview
I really stopped believing anything he said at this point. Still, what the frick does he mean with that? The problem isn't how difficult the game is, the problem is that any difficulty is expressed in an awful way with more and more convoluted DDR shit. I guess you could add a 4 man limit cut and body counts to ExDungeon bosses but that would be tedium and not fun. The issue is that they kept pruning the combat system with each expansion and they have no way of increasing the difficulty any more.
there's a lot less Ryne in the game than I would like. he should rectify this by including Ryne in the MSQ more often.
>combine two events into one
>end up with a slight hue change for an already existing mount as reward
They really aren't trying any more.
They don't have to, it's a seasonal and they're full tilt in finalizing Dawntrail. Why do you think they're gonna be rerunning the FF15 event?
>they're gonna be rerunning the ff15 event
>gonna be
Uh, anon? 1 day left to get it done.
i already did it the last time, i'm unsubbed currently, so no skin off my bones, i just didn't know it was running already
>tfw I'm still waiting on a mummy costume from one of the Halloween events
A-any year now...hahaha...
Don't forget
>Add a completely unique mount to the cash shop at the same time
I genuinely believe they are either understaffed as frick or managing their people horribly. Like what the frick is going on at CBU3? The entire DT previews we saw were also horribly raw compared to other fanfests.
They were busy shitting out XVI and it's cut into their post EW resources like a b***h. Hopefully we can get a bit of normalcy going forward now that that shitpile has come and gone.
Okay, so they're gonna redo the entire game world and have enemies actually be a threat, people needing to group up just to travel from one point to another, give enemies unique mechanics aside from auto attack, maybe even do something wacky like make them stronger during the night, umbral storms, nerf the msq xp forcing people to do fates quests and grind in the overworld?
Dreamy.
Shit, actually dreamy. Imagine escorting sprouts so they can do their quests.
hah.
maybe in the next eureka
I dunno, ultimates and savage in endwalker have been incredibly stressful and unfun so I dunno what he means by this
With Yoshida I came to expect the worst solution for genuine problems. So I'd fully expect we will get a lot of body checks in dungeon content and the MSQ will have more inane "stealth" gameplay sections.
Anyone else agrees that balance wise and content wise the game peaked in Stormblood?
I found EW savages way too unfun and hard.
I managed easily clear UwU but I couldn't finish p8s and p9s(those numeral dashes happen too fast for me to catch up)
Savages become hard but classes became easy. I don't like SMN rework.
I wouldn't call them hard, I would call them punishing, all it takes is 1 idiot to ruin everything for everyone else
shb/ew design is just terribly unfun because we all have our weakest link (the ranged)
>Levinstrikes was too fast
No you're just moronic and didnt understand the mech.
P8S was pure kino, one of the best savage they ever did.
p8s part 1 and 2 is genuinely one of the best savage fights in the game, all the final turns were really fricking good
Everybody forgot the day Yoshi P executed a man live on stream for fricking up his audio
He's not wrong. They went to the two fricking extremes: ultra easy and ultimate. Something like Ivalice was a good middle ground.
>XV event again
>not VII or XVI
Defend this.
I dare you...
XVI event is coming in a week dumdum
>or XVI
Anon, that's happening soon.
Yoshi P is a hack who doesn't make games, but makes what he thinks is a mass appealing product for westoids. XVI showed that he can't deiate from an established template.
I've been saying this since stormblood (ive long since quit xiv)
Anyone could have done what yoshi P did to "save" FFXIV (aka trim it fown into dafe, focus tested WoW-slop) after the 1.0 disaster. literally fricking ANYONE, he's not special and in fact the opposite.

>everybody is going to call the character herself a troony despite that not being true at all
This sucks man
Still completely flabbergasted by the fact that they cast a low tier troon as her VA. Like at least make sure they do their job properly, but having them act in the same scene as G'raha was painful to hear, the quality of line delivery was so far apart between the two.

https://www.pcgamesn.com/final-fantasy-xiv/ff14-dawntrail-wuk-lamat
Ahead of FFXIV Dawntrail, PCGamesN spoke to English localization lead Kate Cwynar about putting a first foot forward with Wuk Lamat
"We want to create a world with diversity, where not everyone feels beholden to speak this one certain way"
>We want to create a world with diversity
At last the beast shows her intentions
>We want to create a world with diversity
>Entire main cast is white
Riiiiight
Wuk lamat is clearly joining the scions, you will have your state mandated troony for the next 10 years and you will like it
She will be Lyse tier and remain as city leader or something. Going forward the Scions will be our party but they will switch out, so right now we are stuck with the Twins and nuKrile.
I'm expecting her catboy brother to be 500x better leader potential than her
It would actually be really cool if we lost the race against Thancred and Urianger.
she'll either end up abdicating for him, or he's the 'evil' one
And he's going to die/pussy out at the last second because we can't have actual competent people in charge.
I'm guessing he'll end up being the twist villain and the warmonger is just a red herring. So the race will just be between Wuk and the unknown fourth candidate (possibly Erenville).
Its pretty clear that Erenville is the 4th and probably will win the thing.
Y'shtola and G'raha are the only ones missing and I guarantee you they will join halfway through the MSQ revealing who the big bad is.
Nah, the VA will get fired after Dawntrail like the majority of the cast got fired after ARR. Or she'll get Yugiri'd.
Likely to self Yugiri
>The troony gets fired
>Ends up suing square for discrimination
>Square laughs at them the way they laughed at the Saami Council
>burger trannies trying to sue a Japanese company
Good luck
The troon is south american. That is the reason they hired him, since Wuk is south american coded or some shit.
No he's not he's from fricking Kentucky
Would explain why their accent is all over the place and never really settles. Man, I love the EN cast but I might need to switch to JP voices for this one..
If only the voice track allowed you to select by character
I'm switching to JP this expansion.
I got tired of ENG alisaie anyway
He is a german living in the usa pretending to be from purto rico
He's bullshiting for internet points, he's a american by actual nationality
Dude was literally named Edward before trooning out, i dont know about you folks, but I've never met a Hispanic named Edward

the coin counter nerf was my last straw playing this piece of shit
actually i was filtered from the end of stormblood to ... the 24m raid with the huge breasted ginger woman.
I hated it, was generally unhappy. Because even if I learned the mechanics to do for roulettes there was always others who were new to it and wiping was a common daily thing.
if you want hardmodes, make hardmodes. but story mode/base game/roulettes/alliance keep that shit away
>there should never be learning or failure we should just be able to stand still and receive loot
Yeah nah suck my soggy hemorrhoids, anon, you're a b***h.
ff14 isnt about loot. yeah sure there are some raiders who do stuff for glams but we all know they use it for a few days to a week and go back to their classic favorite glam never to be seen again.
How many... Garo glams do you still see?
and im talking story mode. this is just the baseline gear to be able to do the next set of instances
the casual market is what made other mmos strong. stuff to do, busywork.
needing to study for a fight? not so much.
I think back in everquest maybe 1-2% of players seen sleepers tomb when it was current
mystic hard ultra modes in warcraft maybe seen 5% of players as current content
>but story mode/base game/roulettes/alliance keep that shit away
The cancer of MMOs
the difficulty in his game is there. I started the game with a fully sprout team doing DSR > Abyssos > TOP and it was some of the hardest gaming we've ever seen.
I Kneel
I can't wait to be in that hot small elevator again only for Zero to rip a huge fricking fart this time.
thoughts on my wife?
Not according to SE
Even Yoshi-P thinks that the game is nothing more than a boring VN now.
And he's right.
>mfw they just add more aoe pattern spam in fights like a bozja CE
Yes please.
The most shocking thing about xiv for me is that boats and airships are still in the game.
Even the EW cities have them.
Why on earth did it take him 10 years to realise this
90% of playerbase unsubbed in EW.
Or perhaps the Japs finally started complaining.
He always knew, he just didn't give a shit until 16 disappointed
Wow japanese fans are vocal about Endwalker and they are not happy. Theyre discontented with the way job design is going and the whole content drip. I guess they were holding out hope for a relic grind. There's even a petition that's garnered thousands of signatures to have the expansion retconned. Obviously that wont happen but it shows how unhappy they are.
MMO players are masochists.
>devs try their best to make everything as comfortable and optional as possible to give players as much freedom as possible
>NOOOO YOU CAN'T DO THAT I WANNA GRIND I WANNA BE LOCKED INTO THE SAME REPETITIVE TASKS - MAKING EVERYTHING SO EASY AND COMFY AND MAKING IT EASY TO GET THINGS JUST KILLS ALL THE VALUE THOSE HORRIBLE ACHIVEMENTS HAVE - HOW DARE YOU GIVE RELIC WEAPONS THROUGH TOMES I WANTED THIS TO BE A PAINFUL FATE SPAM GRIND THAT IS SO UNFUN AND BORING ONLY 0.5 PERCENT OF ALL PLAYERS DO IT - I WANTED TO FLEX WITH MY PAIN ACHIEVEMENTS
There is nothing comfortable about the game overworld being nonexistant and having no reason to go out aside from curbstomping an S rank with hundred other people.
There needs to be SOME opposition, if there's no challenge then there's no point in playing an MMO
And thats fiiiiiine. just make it optional stuff you can do with a premade group of trusted friends.
Let's drop then zones, that's a lot of dev time wasted.
anon, there is such a thing as too much free time and ff14 used to fill that hole perfectly. Not only before shit went sour i had alts.
yes, fricking alts
id do roulettes on my main for currentjob
then id log on my alt and do some story
then that alt would get to whatevermaxlevel and do raids but stay a single job
then id make another alt..
life was good, touhous were mimicable
this style created a safe haven for morons like trannies, etc. Now the map chat is spammed with semi-ERP events and other shit.
I miss the ARR community. Really. Besides some Bara gays the community was based.
Even the story lines were simpler but much better.
>never shows up again after arr
Okay.
She was the hottest girl in the whole game. Imagine what the pirates did to her.
MMOs in the first place are about socialization.
How quick you homies are to forget Balmung Quicksands
I don't want to "socialize" in your gay, erp clubs.
Then don't
Compare 2013 Balmung to now.
People always go
>why did Yoship and his team change that
And the answer always is
>People asked for it
Nobody liked spamming fates
Nobody liked being forced into old content
Nobody liked the book shit of ARR relics
Nobody liked buffs expiring on death
Nobody liked walking to every single dungeon instead of being able to queue into them from anywhere through duty or party finder
Nobody liked managing stances
The devs do what the people ask them to do and then a small minority of MMO tryhards complain and say the game is losing all of its "soul"
Not like those old systems and limitations ever existed because they were fun at the time - most of that shit existed to make the game more complicated and drag things out so players are forced to spend more time with it due to lack of content.
Right now XIV no longer has that issue. The number of players who have done all the story, all the special zones, all the deep dungeons, all the trials and alliance raids and all that other optional content is incredibly low. It makes more sense to serve the casual slow players than appeasing the tryhards who have 6000+ hours into XIV already.
tl;dr casuals ruined it
Enjoy your dead mmo.
The game won't die. This is the reason why XIV blew up in the first place.
WoW Retail did the opposite and exclusively pandered to the top 1% of players with its hard focus on Raids and PVP - and that game is dead. There is a reason why casual as frick Classic WoW is x10 as popular as Retail is.
WoW retail has more players than XIV.
Lol no. Retail has nothing except raids and mythic raiding is down to less than 1000 clears. The game is super dead. There is a reason when everytime WoW is making news again its either Classic or Classic Hardcore.
WoW is the biggest game if you love to collect stuff. Especially in the older xpacs you have so much weapons, mounts, etc. to collect.
Nobody is playing older expansions. The focus is entirely on original Classic. Not like any of the expansions outside of TBC and WOTLK are generally liked.
cope harder. And I say this as a person who loves XIV.
Yes it makes sense for the game be crap since everyone is a pleb. COOL
Casual players don't play XIV because after ARR/HW it's nothing else than a boring visual novel.
Casual want RPGs like Baldurs Gate 3 (story but gameplay driven) or things like Elden Ring or Skyrim that are mostly pure free roaming and doing your own shit.
>Casual players don't play XIV
this is the absolute biggest cope imaginable and can only come from Ganker cause they are the biggest sour grapes on the internet, not casual enough to enjoy being a casual and not good enough to do ultimates or savage, just an awkward middle ground where you endlessly delude yourself into thinking moronic shit like this. that original anon is right people did ask for it, you can check the official forums (the place they actually take advice from), and obviously yoshiP acknowledged that it's gone a bit too far.
>Nobody liked walking to every single dungeon instead of being able to queue into them from anywhere through duty or party finder
I did and I still do, having to actually walk into a dungeon and having dungeons and raids be a part of your game world rather than a square floating in some frickoff unrelated background is actually based
>>devs try their best to make everything as comfortable
DID I EVER FRICKING ASK FOR THAT
Every time I see a post that's just a paragraph of hyperbolic all caps vomit my eyes glaze over. Keep it to a sentence or two since you already don't expect anyone to take a word you say seriously.
I think the main issue is the difficulty gap between normal and hard content. Casual stuff is completely braindead and hardcore fights are tuned to where the garbage tier coding of this game can't keep up with displaying the animations at the same time as the damage events happen.
Why would i subscribe for an expansion launch since it's the timeframe during which players play the less together. Am i coming back especially to play alone? My friends fricking off with their trusts? Everyone being busy.
In a good MMO busy means busy together. Why not change the entire fricking game, that'd be swell.
Baldesion arsenal was peak, i never felt so tense in a dungeon
you got called a tryhard homosexual back in the day in these threads if you had ozma, and homies wonder why they make the game "easier"
The game is too shit
>It took him 6+ years to finally understand that dumbing down ALL content that isn't Savage+ was a really stupid fricking idea
No shit, the only reason (other than his own stupidity) why it has ended up this way is because the cultish minority drowned out the actual playerbase and now he somehow managed to see past them. Either that or he recently sat down and did some normal/savage roulettes outwide of the JP data centers and noticed just how shit the general playerbase is and that none of the current things that are supposed to "teach" these troglodytes how to play the game is working which just makes the game more miserable for everyone involved.
He isn't talking about instanced content you wow moron
"All content" includes the job design and open world you moron
>cultish minority
yeah, "midcore" gays
What midcore content did EW have?
savage is midcore content, extremes are midcore content. always has been and always will be the midcoregay is someone who is too moronic to do either of these and complains about it.
>savage is midcore content, extremes are midcore content
HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHA
if you think savage is hardcore content, you are genuinely moronic
XIV's casual PvE content barely counts as a game. It's more like jingling keys in front of your face. Even pokemon is more stimulating than it.
yeah it's for casuals, and casuals enjoy it, that's who the content is for, if you don't enjoy it youre not a casual. and clearly want something more, which you would start doing extremes, savages, criterion, and if you want something more than that you would do ultimates.
He dumbed it down to the point where even the casuals are complaining about it lol
Nobody enjoys "playing" the msq.
Story, yes, actually clicking through dialogue boxes, teleporting and murderraping pathetic mobs, no.
Lmao, the only reason why YoshiP is talking about making stuff harder now is because he noticed that NONE of the casuals sticks around or touch anything but the MSQ in the game yet they have been the ones for the longest time complaining about stuff that is impossible to fix. I mean, how exactly can the guy make the game any easier at this point without turning it into an auto-battler?
Make tanks less durable, Warriors should not be able to sustain wall to wall pulls without a healer
Make Healers have to worry about resource management again
Make DPS have unique niches to help with either of the two above OR make them have other tasks like interrupting
As it stands casual XIV is "press your buttons in a predefined order to do as much damage as possible, everything else is secondary" which is an awful design.
That's how it was back in the times of Vanilla WoW. Resource (mana etc) management was very important, it required great teamwork and concentration to keep the tank alive, DPS had to hit strong enough to get the boss down in time, yet watch their aggro as to not make the boss start attacking the DPS. Team had to react to every mechanic instantly, otherwise risking a wipe or having to use combat rez, which you could only use once per fight. Man, getting a boss down for the first time was an incredible experience. Different times, different people.
I'd like to think the criticism from FFXVI players, ones who probably haven't played FFXIV, are telling him things he foolishly didn't know.
that or he's just talking shit
is he finally going to adress all the classes feeling samey ? The fact that pictomancer has no resurrection spell is already a good sign of things. RDM should be the only motherfricker outside of healer to resurrect people also Button Bloat is now an issue unless they have a way to fix that
