Anon, FF 14 is dying and it's ok. They have to update their korean-mmo like engine and after watching the last FF it seems they will use the slop engine
Eeeh, pc will save them
More relevant than Dragonflight.
Stay mad.
>BUT troonyFLIGHT DEAD
Holy frick, how mindbroken are yoshitpee stans?
But WoW and Lost ark cannot have bikini for body type B, right? Because K-games ban bikini, as we can see from BA lacking bikinis this year.
>how many "you just know"s can you find in this image?
>new 14 patch flopping
>comparing it to a 4 month old wow patch where everyone is waiting for the new one 1 month from now
The pedophile brain is truly astonishing, only room for dicky and nothing else!
>wowsissy making excuses
return to your dead troony game, blizzdrone homosexual
yikes, how is this game so fricking dead?
Are mmos dying or something?
This patch has nothing to offer in terms of interesting stream content. Its still fine, but just not for dem twitch views.
>release new expansion
>only 50k viewers
>"This expansion has nothing to offer in terms of interesting stream content. Its still fine, but just not for dem twitch views."
Time is a flat circle
Who the frick watches MMO streams?
Autists who watch classic hc WoW streams.
>FFXIV has 0 views
>Who the frick watches streamers???
>WoW drops 10k viewers out of 200k
>Its over!!!!!!
kek dabbing on your dying game
it's had its own wotlk and soon it will be dead and burried
Son I don't think you are old enough to legally be using this website.
Unlike WoW, entire patches and expansions aren't spoiled on a PTR or data mined months in advance. FFXIV players don't usually watch streams the first days of a new patch or expansion as to avoid spoilers. Even then it's never been a big streamer game. Why do WoW players worship streamers anyway.
WoWrats always used twitch streams as a metric for how well their game is doing so it's funny to mock them with their own standards
>big patch day
>new worlo dabs all over xiv
it's a tough world for yoshida
Oh wow the game must be pretty popul-
i was going to hit you with the steam numbers but honestly this shit is dead af
50k for a new expansion? pretty grim when you have more people watching on twitch than players on steam
The lack of twitch views is unironically proof that ffxiv is an amazing game
>more people waching fricking osrs than ffxiv
it's fricking over
I would honestly question the sanity of anyone watching FFXIV streams. Some games are just not meant to be played for audiences. Aside from extremely high-end content (and only when it's first released), that includes all MMOs
It's literally over barry defeated square enix
>world of warcraft out of nowhere
Hi Barry
Dawntrail is going to propel the game into the stratosphere. It's going to be the most popular and revered game in history.
This but unironically. Imagine literal fat children in FULL HD this is going to be huge
I doubt it will reach Endwalker numbers. Everybody wanted to see the conclusion of Zodiark/Hydaelyn but I doubt people will turn up just for a beach episode unless it's your favorite scion
More like Yawntrail.
I don't know, I was excited for endwalker because of the story and island adventures, but I was disappointed on both fronts. I have absolutely nothing for dawntrail. I don't care for the new story, I don't care for more DPS jobs, the graphics update turned out to be a disappointment, the new race is fricking fem hrothgars so not hanks to that aswell. There's just nothing that excites me, this might be the first expansion I won't buy on release.
sorry, forgot to quote.
>*blocks ur path*
without asmong nobody cares about 14
No one cares about that balding homosexual and he's not playing retoilet dead game
ff14s biggest spike happened because amongs zoomerbase latched onto what he was shilling at the time
That ignores the rising numbers before he started, wu-flu, and that kinobringers was fricking god tier.
FF14 players made him leave the game
He said that the game is dead, that it looks like shit and every other online game is more responsive than XIV
I think he's a goner
you think?
Pretty sure. Whats funny is that him shitting on this dead game spawned 2 threads on his subreddit which collectively had over 1000 posts of pure grade A industrial copium
I wish that was the case.
Tired of wowgays shitting up the thread because their pretend friend talked about it once or twice.
nobody cares what a balding grifter who doesn't even play games things
EW was fantastic. Yugiri is too.
Yugiri pleases old men for free while gathering info behind the enemy lines
Actually, speaking of Yugiri- do we know who the npc for the new variant dungeon is?
Matsya
6.x MSQ drinking game
>take a shot every time Zero tips her fedora
>take a shot every time Zero waxes philosophically about friendship and trust
ive died from alcohol poisoning
Zero has tipped.
Billions must drink.
I haven't had a chance to play yet. Did Zero get the boot? Please tell me she won't be around past this patch.
Sorta.
Good enough for me. Holy shit was her character "development" fricking painful.
Just prepare yourself because the price for getting rid of her is that this whole patch turns up the Zero wanking to 100.
>babysitting Zero and being her tour guide in the First
>but the people might get scared if the tower turns on!
>again
>And that over there is the bar where two warriors of light from the Thirteenth hang out
>But let's not go there
>option to tell Zero about them after everything is over
>"Oh for real? Whoa that's crazy yeah... say hi to them for me I guess."
I've disliked Zero in basically every patch, but I think she was pretty good in this one. Only telling her about them after going back to the Source was fricking ridiculous though
>didn't talk to ukulele after the msq
Shame.
it was more pretty shallow content, only a hint that they might decide to actually return to the 13th
They're trapped behind two layers of optional content.
I'm honestly surprised Gaia had a speaking role.
How is that even possible? Does she become the new Azem and Venat comes back from the dead just to say she was the actual hero she was waiting for all along? Every patch has been jerking this shitty character off, to the point where other character's are getting ruined just so they can suck her off.
I don't wanna spoil too much but trust me you will cringe a lot. The ultimate special snowflake mary sue shit.
She got Ryne'd so you won't see her for some time. Probably
She stays in the 13th while we move the frick on and pretend none of that happened.
Somebody please find the femhroth in the files I know the legs are probably just on some placeholder but I'll take what I can get
So it's back to pre-covid amounts of players like many other games and places like streaming/media sites.
I am surprised not more people quit after the lackluster postcontent for endwalker.
unironically people treating the game as second life with mods is what keeps the player count so high
There are probably more new players than veterans playing right now so post EW being insipid doesn't really matter right now
good, the game should have been gatekept during heavensward
>use very minimal reshade that does some color correction and light enhancement
>turn it off for a split second during cutscenes
holy frick i forgot how fricking terrible vanilla lighting is, this is actually dogshit
Which reshade? I tried one but it tanked the FPS
Its a custom one, just disable any post processing shit on one you like
Original:
Reworked:
Opinions?
horrible
cool
I fricking love it.
I can't believe it's not OC ReMix™
Sokengays thinking he'll ever be as good as Uematsu is hilarious.
Sounds like a DS era Elite 4 theme
I understand why people wouldn't like it, but I think it's great
wait wtf the patch is out already?
Second best boss music of the expansion.
Jesus Christ, I'm replacing that with the pixel remaster version immediately.
it wasnt bad
better than myths of the realm's kazoo this patch
the flamenco boss music is pretty comfy though
that's what I'm referring to being the kazoo song
?t=42
>no relic grind in Endwalker
Good
I'm a wagie now so I don't have time like when I was a NEET.
Then you don't need a relic, you don't do content and relics themselves are useless anyway.
I told everyone since 6.2 if zero dies or leave the group at the end of 6.5 I would unsub. yoshi-p you had one job, and you kill my fricking god you stupid mother fricker
>Dungeon theme sucks
>Final 20% of Zeromus is what should have been the dungeon theme while the boss just chain casts "Nostalgia"
>Alliance Raid was okay but the music wasn't anything special
>Can't talk to 3 of the gods which seems like massive oversight when one of the character creation options is choosing a god and it just fricks over some of the players
>Story is back to where it began with Y'shtola still researching cross world travel, and the Lv80 Role Quest gang sitting around talking about going to the Thirteenth one day
Feels like the dev team just lost interest.
Its hard to be interested in shit you aren't allowed to do anything with. Putting the void shit behind role quests was a huge mistake. Yoship is too big a coward to ask players to get 4 jobs to 80 so the entire plotline has to be shelved until 9.0 at the earliest.
I'm not sure why people are so caught up on that, they can just as easily retool a couple things in the questline and change the requirements so that people don't need multiple jobs.
If it's that important to the story (it is) then they should do it.
It's not though.
Having two extra ghost people on the 13th adds nothing to anyone's stories, not even theirs.
>2023
>game is more successful than it's ever been
>in cutscenes with fighting in them our character still just stands there like a lump while everyone else gets to look cool
The two dyes system can't come any sooner
ook ook and ryne cute faces were the only good things about this patch
Myths of the Realm was sadly the best this expac had to offer. Topping the Zodiark/Hydaelin arc will be hard. Lasat raid kinda sucked compared to the first two but I'm sad to see these gods go anyway after they went out of their way to make em look human and interact with us
>Everyone excited over pvp gear not being role restricted
>I think they all look like shit
Pain
I can't believe how many people think that shit looks good.
I can't see it looking good on any job for glam
It looks too much "Hey guys this is my modded outfit, 10 dollars on patreon"
>Oschon says Nymeia is said to be the one who came up with offering flowers to the dead
>WoL actually teaches this to the Ancient who would become Nymeia during a sidequest in Elpis
Fricking b***h taking credit
Annoyed me that they didn't give you any dialogue options to tell him about Elpis especially if you did all the side quests and met them there.
I wonder if the "you remind me of someone I met a long time ago" dialogues happen when you talk to them if you haven't done the quests
>set up the ahk script for island sanctuary gathering
>shit gets stuck every fricking time because it doesn't know how to move
nice shitty script it's taking longer than doing it myself
has anyone checked if the watcher has different dialogue after the raid?
wowbucks malding hard today, must be a good patch
Patch has some decent content with surprising levels of challenge for casual content. If this is the direction of the game going forward into DT, I'm honestly looking forward to it.
The story was fricking garbage as has been the case with every post-EW patch barring 6.1.
it really isn't, so I don't know why they're seething
is it possible to datamine the model the mystery legs belong to or did SE predict that and she's legs all the way up?
what was snoegheims role in the raid series again?
who?
surely you jest, you would never forget this powerhouse of a character, right?
I do remember, I was just joking how useless the character is
i know
Ryne, I'm putting you on a diet.
No, let her get thicc
>what was snoegheims role in the raid series again?
Staring at Nophica's breasts and getting horny.
It's relatable, which makes her a good character
>snoegheims
How do you pronounce this?
-Snow
-egg
-himes (like bee-hives with an 'm')
Telling G'raha he's right for repeating the same shit (You) say
Did the voice on the DouTei trailer appear
Her feet did

All shards lead to it.
I hope dawntrial has a city that looks like that.
>wolves hunt in packs!
Fricking hell how I crave a Dragon's Dogma 1 or 2 crossover with XIV.
It can still happen, XIV did a collab with Capcom before. Dawntrail gives me big MHW vibes so I wonder if MH6 will get a crossover.
>Dawntrail gives me big MHW vibes
Oh cool, I'm not the only one.
I still don't understand that boss, it comes up like once a year and I'm like duhhrr
Lalaludo.
I'm glad they did this handshake animation instead of just another food porn scene.
the frick is this shit?
avatargay likes discord esex with men who pretend to treat him like a little child. Pedo and homosexual.
Actually he prefers raceplay where he submits to melanated men
source?
The developers are too busy accepting money from Microsoft to port the game to a platform that no one is going to play FFXIV on.
What are the most played jobs?

>Actually get mechanics boss rush at the end of Thaleia
>All of the mechanics happen very slowly
Fricking boring, where was Menphina's moon with Dalamud cleaving and her doing a half room freeze? Where was any other mechanic paired with balanced weights?
For the average player the mechanics were super fast paced
you really thought you were gonna get anything cool when casuals run this game and cry to the official forums at any sign of a roadblock
>Also has a super long charged attack where no mechanics happen and that you don't even need to use tank LB3 for
Yeah, that boss needs a buff.
Too bad they only know how to nerf bosses
We will never get a challenging Alliance boss ever again. Thunder God and Ultima mindbroke the shitters and the devs were forced to bend the knee. Casual content will never be fun or mechanically impressive and safe mediocrity is all that will ever happen from this point forward.
What went wrong
cringe glams but the halfmask is cool
the fact you think modern clothing is not a staple of final fantasy as a series
Does FFIV have modern clothing?
No, it doesn't, because it doesn't fit the setting.
Does FFXIV have modern clothing?
Yes, it does, because it fits the setting.
Uh huh.
It doesn't fit the setting at all, actually.
>eorzea is the entire setting
Eorzea is the most backwards continent of the known world, due to the aetheric density/intensity there. Everywhere else is varying degrees more advanced. That's not even mentioning that history has been cyclical and is littered with the remnants of lost supercivs who built spaceships, did genetic engineering, etc. These modern-style glams aren't being dreamt up by some humble tailor in Ul'dah, they are casual clothes from Allag, which had technology equal to and beyond any IRL nation.
>There was an advanced nation ages ago which means we can just shit out whatever the frick we want and say they did it
Just shut up. It's literally a worse justification than just admitting they want modern clothes for the frick of it rather than trying to pin fricking air jordans on the allagans. That's not what allagan shit looks like. Imagine if in lord of the rings a character walks in wearing full SHEIN bootleg techwear and driving a Cadillac. But it's ok because dwarves are more advanced, it just makes sense they'd make shit like this!
They've already defined 3 different eras with different styles and tech levels - Early Allagan, High Allagan, Late Allagan. Yes they wanted to add modern-style clothes, so they found the right place for them to fit and added them. It works.
It works about as well as Omega landing on Eorzea wearing yeezys.
It works about as well or better than Omega landing in Eorzea at all. A civilisation of hyper-advanced self-learning AI war mechs clashes more with "muh medieval knights and wizards" than the idea of a lost civilisation having casualwear.
The problem isn't the presence of advanced technology beyond that of Eorzea, Garleans have robots and trains and all kinds of sci-fi shit. But it (mostly) all looks like it still belongs in the same world. Even Omega looks like a slightly more advanced ceruleum mech.
The problem is that modern real world stuff looks completely out of place in the setting, it clashes with the aesthetic. You can have a guy in magitek armor sitting next to a guy dressed like eminem and say they're the same because they're both futuristic relative to the setting.
Did you expect the people who made magitek armor to not have clothes for when they were just going out for drinks with the gang?
Even battle autists like Estinien has casual wear, why is it so outlandish that future tech people have the same?
there's a reason eorzeans are called savages
These people coexist on Earth today.
it doesn't fit the setting
The problem here isn't even that it's not themed for the world, but that it just looks so dogshit regardless.
The b***h in charge of glamour doesn't know how to fricking stop and look at this shit.
It's always overdesigned or just plain ugly.
Most of the game's craftable armor is also disgusting.
Adding the option for two dyes isn't going to fix the inherently shit look of most shit.
And as usual, male characters are not the priority. EVER.
It's always female-first.
Bullshit. If you're not a flaming homosexual, XIV is just not for you.
>It's always overdesigned or just plain ugly.
That has been FF's aesthetic since like 1997.
The halfmask makes me think of Code Vein. Makes me want to try and make my FF14 character in it.
The venn diagram of Limsa AFK-ers and people who watch Vtubers are a circle.
Fricking taobao dropship techwear lookin ass.
Could look cool on MCH with some mix and matching. If you use this shit on anything else just have a nice day.

agree with everything else, but what did you expect? some kind of complete engine remake in simply a year?
its not even out yet moron
we have seen enough of the characters. and the screenshots.. not impressed.
development shots
not only that, the full graphic overhaul is something being done across all of 7.x
its just bits and parts at a time
The first time they showed the graphics update it looked better than when they showed it again.
Series S limitations, plz understand
This game was supposed to have this incredible story and now it's just a halfassed joke just like every other MMO.
is it really fricking necessary to say bye to like a million people at the end of every patch
Good lord the other thread went to shit hard.
Why? Because people don't like how dogshit the game has become?
Go shove something up your ass and frick off, then.
Sensitive much anon? Didn't even mention what's shit about it.
Are you okay?
>ShB trial dragons had slight differences in the model with different armor

my reaction to that information
my sexy sexwife my pink wife
>XxX_DarkRyne_XxX
I bet she takes in Gaia's darkness every night
Ryne why are you wondering now when I fricking did that in ShB.
It was kind of forced on us, Zero was the first to just nom on some light.
I was 99% sure that we wouldn't get another '' mankind must prove themselves strong enough to take care of this world by defeating us gods in battle, and after they've done so, we'll return to the star because they don't need us '' storyline, but lo and behold, that's exactly what we got. I cannot deal with this bullshit right now, what a terrible ending to the story. At least Deryk-Oschon is fine and it makes sense for him to live as a man considering him being kind of a wild card in the pantheon, and having connected with the physical realm in a way the other gods haven't but... still. What the hell!?
I'm eager to read what others thought of this nonsense, because I do not have the goddamn strength to dissect it further.
All that to say, I'm quite disappointed.
>Player base actively defends the developers destroying the visual cohesion of the game, just to sell more Second Life tier garbage

How will the Allagan ruins look like in the New World?
Current day Detroit.
I never want to see another fricking allagan anything in XIV ever again. Literally all of their environment art is eye cancer.
Sorry but we're going to see Allagan ruins there and the treasure will be an Allagan relic
Frick you.
It's not my fault the writers are creatively bankrupt
Creatively Bankrupt Unit 3
The biggest thing XIV needs right now is actual gameplay.
Shit you sink hours a day into.
Bozja and Eureka actually fulfilled this need, even if you hate them.
Island sanctuary encourages you not playing the game for more than a few minutes.
Criterion is hard capped on rewards and there's no real reason to run it more than a few times.
The savage version is very underwhelming, too.
EW as an expansion fricked up big time.
With such a long wait time for the next expansion, this is not okay.
Why are people not demanding more?
Is this truly enough for you?
Why do you stay subbed? What do you even do in game?
>Why are people not demanding more?
The overwhelming majority is.
>the majority is
No they're not. XIV's playerbase after ARR has always been quick to defend the game's formula and the removal of content heading into SB onwards. You Black folk created your own anemic end by constantly defending the devs and praising them for the bare minimum. Why would they spend more now making more content after making so much money from cutting content every expansion while getting praised and defended left and right? I mean at the end of the day you can just scream BARRY and everyone will stop focusing on the Devs
these kinds of posters desperately want me to believe that even with a skimpy expac, FFXIV hasn't had one of the steadiest content drips of any MMO ever
Ganker MAGE!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!
that's 3chan you hroth-laying son of a voidsent
I want to resub but I'm too poor for $13 a month. Even $10 would be better
Isn't there an option to pay just 10 and you just get less characters per DC?
$13 a month is the option less characters option. i will probably resub soon but i hate being forced to play that month or i essentially wasted my money.
we need to go back. shadowbringers classic when?

Has there EVER been a good post-expansion story that didn't feel like dry, drawn-out filler?
Yotsuyu's arc was great
as opposed to the most horrible story thing in the game, 4.0 msq
>Yotsuyu's "arc"
>damn she has amnesia it'd be kinda immoral to kill her now for her crimes
>and then 2 patches later she's just randomly a primal
lol
>Guys we need to remove Elidibus out of the picture
>I got it let's quickly retrace Emet-Selch but make it worse
And basically in both cases the only patch where things happen are .3
if you mockingly greentext while obsfucating the aspects of the story, anything can sound bad anon.
>I got it let's quickly retrace Emet-Selch but make it worse
How do you think Elidibus's finale was remotely similar to Emet-Selch? Emet-Selch was about journeying with you and testing to see if you were ready for him to pass the torch. His final test was seeing if you could manage to kill him. Meanwhile Elidibus was a senile madman who didn't know who he was anymore, but he decided to go full tilt because everything was falling apart, and Emet-Selch had arranged to help put him down.
>Yotsuyu's arc was great
Yotsuyu being revived, memory lost, memory regained, then killed again for no reason is exactly filler, anon
Nobody gets that the arc wasn't about Yotsuyu, it was about Gosetsu finding his redemption. It's not filler at all.
>it's not filler because 1 character gets something
Then post-EW is not filler I guess.
The whole story arc also serves to go over Doma's relationship with Garlemald and establish the civil war that tears them apart in Shadowbringers. Zero's arc doesn't serve any similar purpose, it's an isolated mess of contradictions and retcons.
4.1 to 4.3 was about the repercussions of war and the society of people dealing with it
I really dont know what you Zero fans are trying to defend, the EW patches are narratively just filler.
Maybe it'll be used like the WoD plot, I honestly dont care anymore since I defended the writers too pre 6.5
but its all a nothing burger
you could straight up delete all of 6.x and nothing would change in narrative for dawntrail
>the fricking void is a beach episode
cool
yeah that's why I compared it to the WoD plot, maybe ishikawa will use it for kino in 9.0 or something.
>4.1 to 4.3 was about the repercussions of war and the society of people dealing with it
BORING
XIV writers think they're fricking Tolkien and even Tolkien concerned himself with shit less boring than how some peasants feel after a war
>it was about Gosetsu finding his redemption
he never repents, just gets sad that his temporary waifu is gone then wanders off again
He has to suffer through the process of losing his family again, and losing his charge.
Yes. The expansion I joined the game in.
Yeah. We need to go back. To Shadowbringers.
ARR, HW, and ShB all had good patch series MSQs.
>muh ARR filler
Don't even respond to me. Everything in ARR was vital information that they just used the monster of the week framing to info dump on you.
The only good parts are in X.3 patches, the rest were a colossal waste of time.
I liked 2.4-2.5, 3.1-3.3, 4.1-4.5 and 5.1-5.3. I didn't like any of the EW patches
I really liked post-HW, post-SB, and post-ShB.
Hell, 5.3 felt more like the end of the world than most of EW.
post-shadowbringers was great, I need to do a replay of it at some point for the cutscenes and feels
Do you miss her?
Does she die? Spoil it for me, I have no interest in this shit unless I know for 100% certain she's gone.
Lmfao no
No one dies anymore in nuXIV
No, but she stays behind and definitely won't be in Dawntrail for more than a cameo at best.
No she doesn't die.
She job changes to PLD and stays in the Void to redeem it with Golbez
She doesn't die, which is a better outcome if you hate her because only dead characters get arbitrarily shoved in your face for memberberries
She got First'd. Stayed behind in her shard to help repair it with just a vague promise that someday we'll meet again.
post ew is worse than SB msq
Its a total disaster
Where is Krile now? I want to pump her for information about Tural
>do the new alliance raid
>not a single wipe
Man what the frick happened to making raids just a tad difficult to learn?
Mine had one alliance constantly dead
Lost 6/8 of my party again Llymlaen, luckily my healer friend survived and rezzed them all. Better than Euphrosyne where the only thing that caught people on day 1 was the first Tetrapagos and Halone's proximity attack with the donuts coming in that freeze you.
The new design philosophy is "if you want an actual game do savage and ultimates, everything else is a setpiece for our shitty story"
And Savage and Ultimate design has never been as bad as in this expansion. Badly conceived mechanics (lol caloric), unfun difficulty spikes (every ultimate mechanic is now role-agnostic to cause more wipes to make you stay subbed for 1 extra month), virtually no care to pacing and burst windows (something Kenji Sudo excelled at)
>Doing the last boss of the new 24 man

Are you too socially awkward to type that?
I did, nobody bothered
All the Yotsuyu shit might seem more interesting if you played it all in one go after the patches were already out. Imagine all of that spaced out over the course of a fricking year. The 6.x patches might be awful, but nothing compares to how excruciatingly slow and boring 4.1 to 4.3 were.

6.2 was the best of the bunch, had the best trailer too.

THE AGE OF GREEN IS HERE
Green shite
I don't care what they do job-wise as long as it's interesting.
Unfortunately they're probably going to use the SMN rework as a template, and SMN is a job for literal morons. They really fricked up when they shit out something that made RDM look complex by comparison.
What the frick do green mages even do
Cast magic while teaching you about the environment and how to preserve it.
pretty much bootleg red mage that also steals spells from white/black mage with a buff/debuff focus, with spells like protect/shell/oil/drain/blind
whatever it ends up being in XIV, it won't have anything to do with how they are in other games because there is 0 chance they're making a full dot class
XI RDM painted green it'll probably pick up SMN's discarded DoTbot role
why is vrtra just hanging out in the background in this cutscene? they're talking about him like he isn't there
is this a bug?
Would you really call Vrtra a sentient being after this series of patches?
was it only me that liked the myths ending
sure the plot is a bit cliche but I'm honestly ok with it since they are pretty ancient and have served their purpose
somehow the myths story was the best in EW patches lol
Myths>>>>6.x patches
I liked it, there were no stakes and that was for the better.
>She's called Azeyma because... she was Azem's biggest fan.
Dork.
Yeah I really liked that the gods wasnt corrupted, didnt hate humanity or anything. They are made based on the people venat met in her travels and they all have their own aspects that is good for humanity to strive for
It was lovely.
>Nice job killing yourselves idiots, I'm going back to hang out with mortals
Get this dude away from me already
It was very predictable. I had figured wanting to die would be their wish. Still it was a nice little story, centered on FFXIV's lore, and I prefer it to crossovers and whatnot.
Ok but I still want my Dragon's Dogma crossover.
I'd rather have a continuation of the Nier raid series and it was also well received by fans
Well in that case I am glad fans didn't get their wish. They can just give the loose glams from it to players some other way because it added nothing to the story other than to try and hook you into playing another game.
Just don't be evil :))
Nice to see Gaia's massive lips again
And voiced too. The cameo didn't surprise me but she barely even talked in the Eden quests.
twitter is saying you can see the femhroth's belly through datamine
who is twitter
your mom
Meteion's VA is now Ryne's.
The frick are you talking about
No it was the same one she just forgot her Ryne voice since's it's been almost 5 years
How does a VA forget a voice? There's a whole expansion of it she could reference.
Am I the only one that thought Ryne's voice sounded like Meteion's? It sure didn't sound like Ryne from Shadowbringers. EN voice btw.
I don't know how to say this but are you mentally challenged or deaf
Ryne sounded a bit off but is still Ryne's voice
The VA does other voices in the game too, she simply forgot the voice since its been 3 years that Ryne has even talked
>How does a VA forget a voice?
By not using it frequently. Aymeric always sounds a bit off whenever he gets speaking roles these days because he's barely around.
Average western VA "professionalism"
> whole expansion of it she could reference.
You really think the western VAs care about the game
Just a little bit
THE LAST MAN ON TURAL IS NOT A TOE
Yup...I can do something with this
Wait
We forgot about Golbez
HE'S STILL WAITING FOR US TO FINISH TALKING
He was sitting on the moon for 4 months charging up his jack off crystal. He can wait another 4 for us to say hi and bye
Damn the writing was so fricking bad this patch. The extreme trial was okay tho, easy but very enjoyable and fun to farm.
Just ignore Barry
Endwalker is the most successful expansion with the most subs and most content
>moon is a big part of the expansion
>make the moon mount cash shop exclusive
thanks devs
Just ignore Facts
Shitwalker is the most successful expansion with the most subs and most content
>try free trail
>slog through a realm reborn
>majority gameplay is fetch questing
>people say it gets better
>it doesn’t get better
incredible that this game even became popular
>alliance raid gear is just the same girly robe bullshit over and over again
At least I don't have the farm them for glam
6.x patches were a mistake
> several gods allude to your interaction with them in elpis in yellow quests
> Menphina aka the blue haired student did not
Bit of a bummer but I guess your interaction with her was quite brief. I still think that had to be her.
Also always ignore Lucky Bancho census, it doesn't have data from China and South Korea which has hundreds of thousands of subs so it doesn't reflect anything, meanwhile Dragonflop pozzed is dying so badly it's hilarious to watch
>I'd rather have a continuation of the Nier raid
at least Nier had the balls to make interesting mechanics, most of those bosses mog the shit out of the last two raids
the fricking god megazord we got as the last boss was a fricking joke and whoever designed that boring ass fight should get demoted to toilet scrubber before he can design another shit fight like this
Kind of depressing how dead the game feels
And its patch day
I had no idea it was patch day
Just goes to show you how badly they bungled Endwalker.
They really need to fire the gear designers. A lot of shit is too overdesigned and they keep falling back on the old faithful asscapes.
Its a complete trainwreck and Yawntrail will be even worse because ff16 flopping sent CBU3 in the mines to slave away 2 DLCs and a PC port
blue metion is losing the fight. soon all players with turn kuro (black)
>ff14 dead
>ff16 flopped and is 50% off already
FF16 has been on sale less than a month from release
yeah that was 29%
its now 50% off on Amazon japan
>its now 50% off on Amazon japan
no way, was this faster than xv?
yoshit piss needs to go. its clear he is holding the game back. whatever balls he and square grew with ARR, they have long since cut them off again
do we know who the island visitor for rank 20 is
They should honestly just make all of the eight and 24-man raids mandatory for the msq honestly. It makes no sense at all that you wouldn't consult Gaia during this patch's MSQ, the only reason you don't is because some morons might have not done her content yet. At least they acknowledge how bizarre it is that you and Ryne didn't think to do so
Gaia is a moron and I do not need her input.
what the frick are people even doing if not the trial series and alliance raids. there is frick all else worthwhile in the game. not utilizing that shit because "optional" has hurt the game much more imo
ERPing in nightclubs, duh.
Exactly, we don't incorporate important lore stuff into the MSQ just because 5% of the playerbase is actually moronic and doesn't engage with content. We shouldn't have to hold back because of them.
having fun
I resub for the patch, do all the content in 2 days and the unsub until next patch
I don't have friends to do raids/unreals with
P if you do all the content then you are doing the trial series / alliance raids anyways
I meant all the content I can feasibly do either alone or with a group of randoms.
Where do you get that portrait?
Why not just sub for x.0 and x.55 in that case?
the raids are fun to play on release when nobody knows what's going on
Consult Gaia on what?
She didn't know shit about shit before her memories were stomped out.
What input could she offer about the void, transferring aether, absorbing and/or directing light?
I'm surprised she was in the patch at all, she has nothing to offer except being Nomura's fetish.
This buttcape bullshit is out of fricking control. Not only is it a buttcape it's the most frilly and homosexualy buttcape ever.
ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
who gives a shit, no character in this game has an ass worth staring at anyway
They need to hire new designers
warcar is dead franchise and Nublizzard is gonna have to pay actors to fill the seats
They got MS money, so they're fine
>lets go to the first
>somehow we dont talk with cylva and unukalhai at all
>great job zero, you saved the day and made fwens with golbez!!
>btw cylva and unukalhai exists
>uhh okay thanks say hi to them for me
what is this even
like this shit is legit 4.0 tier story
It's basically guaranteed Dawntrail is going to be shit because this is the exact same disjointed-ass pacing that led into EW, which we now know was because they were in extreme crunch mashing a poorly-planned finale together.
Now we get to look forward to the poorly-planned first chapter of a whole new story arc (read: a continuation of the previous story arc because there's still Ascians that haven't been wanked off yet)
are there any forehead pilot goggles kinda thing or is it all eyes-only
i don't really care about urkel and cylva
Femhroth is going make an appearance in 6.55
I hope not, because if this viera/miqo'te light bullshit
is going to be their model I'm already disappointed
>lore breaking bestial race is the least popular by a hilarious margin
>can either make the female like the most popular races by a hilarious margin or another dud
I'd be shocked if femhroths have furry faces.
They already said the race isn't designed with the intention of being popular. Not the men or the women.
It's genuinely just something YoshiP wants in the game because he plays western MMOs.
>still believing whatever bullshit that grifter spews out
lmao
yeah, and endsinger is the hardest EX in the game
the fact that she doesn't have an upper body is pretty definitive proof it's a femhroth. she's also got that weird fur texture on her skin.
Also she is going to talk like a TES Khajit
you hear her voice in the dawntrail trailer she just has a latam accent
Latinx folx.. we won!
what did the 12 even do?
>watched the world burn multiple times
>didnt even seal bahamut
>let the end days do its thing
They repaired the aetherial balance after each calamity.
Without them the floods, quakes, and other shit the ascians did would never have stopped.
So you're telling me that not only did Emet & Co frick the thirteenth and leave it for millenia, but if it wasn't for Venat's futureproofing plans, they would've ended up turning the Source into a maelstrom of elemental chaos?
they said their job was to basically hold reality together
Why can't I get some swords that are closer to this size for DRK.
Gunbreakers gets all of those, sorry
But Gunbreakers have the ugly af triggers and useless mechanism near the hilt...
>Closing every plot thread they had to begin fresh in Dawntrail
That just means DT is going to be an expansion mainly about world building.
I don't expect anything like ShB or 6.0, guess it's time to wait the buildup again.
>all that exposition with zero about the first
I thought DT was going to be the new starting point instead of EW patches
DROPPED
menphina gangbang
>All the gods and goddesses are white
>She doesn't even want to love/be loved by another woman
>My lesbian ass will never have any canon lesbians in this fricking MMO
This blows
>My lesbian ass
>Incels on Ganker are so brain broken they doubt they're communicating with a real life black lesbian let alone a woman
You're not black nor are you a woman. You are a gay gay.
Aww, the brain broken autistic incel is being a big goof again
It's ok
Shut the frick up homoBlack person
Awww is the wittle incel getting a little salty? Gonna say words?
You are a pasty homosexual larping as a Black person lesbian
Kys
Aww wittle incel can only spew curse words
Drop the LARP, its cringe
Man, people on Ganker really are brain broken
Take your meds, go outside
You are a man in a dress
please let me fix you queen.
>my lesbian ass
there is one set of canon lesbians, and one dubious lesbian. you'll never find them though
miqote don't count
I know there are a few random, reoccurring NPCs that have relations but I still doubt the supposed lesbian/yuri from Ryne and Gaia; like many people in the queer community JP just likes to blow it off as "just good friends" think there's one or two male couples but again they're loosely blown off as just good friends
Not to mention I dont know if what I'm reading is Western sub influence or straight from JP texts
its not ryne and gaia
ryne and gaia seems like massive wishful thinking for a generic anime female friendship inspired by nomura's handling of such things
Ryne and Gaia are not lovers no matter how hard LGBTQP+ pedophiles wish it so
That's exactly how I figure it too.
I know there are some possible lesbian/gay couples in some Profession questlines early on and I think in zone post Shadowbringers? I can't remember exactly
I know there were some dykes in one of the Valentines quests
Yes! I do recall that I believe, popping in because wanted to see if I should come back to the update or not.
I main NIN and MCH and was curious if they got nerfed at all
>My lesbian ass
Excellent bait
i can't believe my hebe goddess designed the prison that kept zodiark at bay
>Just want some romance questlines in the game for our WoL
>Just want to romance Y'sholta with my Fem WoL or someone else
This sucks
honestly I don't hate the jackets so much, but I do hate the pants and boots. now I can look like a terrible JRPG protagonist
This is so bad
it could be worse
it could've been the future of the game having Nomura character designs
Nomura hasn't done beltan zipper in like a decade. It's plaidan button now.
>people want bikinis and swimwear, again, for dawntrail
>"we so sorry, we outsource designs to nomura-san, your summer wear is now plaid japanese fashion"
I know and its the worst shit, riku looks like a stupid gay now
>Alphinaud and Allisae...you guys fricking did it you saved Garlemald!
>everyone still shitting and pissing in a bucket in the subway
>Supposedly been like 6 months and several bouts by now of the other Scions pitching in to help.
>Garleans still living in abject poverty without even houses to take refuge in.
What the frick have they been doing?
everything from arr to the end of 6.5 still takes place in a single year
6.0 to 6.1 was a bunch of months.
i just realized there was zero (lol) mention or sign of zenos this patch. i didn't think he was going to come back to life but i thought the wol thinking about him was going to lead to something.
You see him pick up Zero's broken scythe blade in the post credits scene.
i was kinda expecting him to appear when zero got black'd
Durante is Zenos's shard
So why did the stupid cat name her Zero and what is the significance of the name Zeromus
it was a red herring
Writers thought it'd be funny to just throw a red herring at us.
It's just a name. They're both JUST names. There was no link.
Have they said if the graphics update is gonna fix the god awful tessellation and parallax effects they have on ground textures?
because jesus frick some of these cutscenes are painful
haven't been shown new environments that aren't from dawntrail
>homie thinks they're actually going to go around updating every texture in the game
kek
if femhroth is just viera 2 im gonna personally set a shitbomb on whatever next convention yoship goes to
her legs are so skinny you might as well accept it
top-heavy liongirl bros..... our time..... is come
>thinking they're doing anything other than using midlander body but with different textures
anyone have the model rip for the pair of legs behind erenvelle?
see
>It doesnt perfectly fit with itself
kmsing
>not even the ancients perfected symmetry
this patch has absolutely killed my will to play this game so i unsubbed
farewell, warriors of light, its time for me to move on
No..please dont leave
>Cabin V is smaller and looks worse than Cabin IV
>Granary V is looking like shit too and its still in progress
>bongland fanfes in less than 3 weeks
what's the deal with attending these, attend the morning talks then fill the time until the evening performance?
Merch lines, merch lines everywhere
im interested in very little of the merch, the only thing id want is the t shirt but im not queueing 5 hours to get one
>g'raha randomly has voiced acted lines in the middle of the raid
why they do that
why not. It’s been a while since he spoke
>easy as frick EX trial
>2 totems per clear
Easiest cat I ever farmed
>story brings up a problem not dealt with in their species' current documenting of science & magic
>"Ah yes, Cid devised TECHNOLOGY to help us"
Cid might as well be a new god at this rate. The man's survived time travel and created the notes for Biggs and Wedge to perfect with G'raha on it which saved the universe in the long term, he and Nero devised interdimensional travel off of being kidnapped and various extra information from that, he helped refine a spaceship from just moon travel to straight up edge of the universe super lightspeed, and he even devised fricking mini-orbs that transfer Aether from A to B solely for the purpose of pulling one world's flood of light into lancing the frick out of another world's epitome of darkness.
all that shit and he's not been allowed a new costume, he's looked the same since ARR
He changed costume in HW
HW then, I'm getting kinda bored of seeing him in the same outfit
He's had at least four that I can recall. His OG 1.0 look, his Amnesia bearded ARR self, his Ironworks set, and the HW set.
But he has had new outfits since ARR?
>Writer's panel at Britbong Fanfest
>the interns get executed live on stage
i miss having a golden retriever
God DRK LB in PvP is the most bullshit thing ever. Why does it fricking last so long?
You can't kill me if I kill me first
you either kill them before they LB or you ignore them after they LB until it wears off
New job is Transmancer
>when you're all out of good ideas
>mfw the cutscenes take 10 minutes to say nothing of value
>Alliance boss has another rotating AoE mechanic and hits the entire raid group
I really wish the damage in AR's was cranked up. I want to see bozja chocobo tier clownery.
Then it would be too hard for Limsa trannies
>literally stand in one spot for 90% of the alliance raid
>take minimal damage even with multiple vuln stacks
what the frick were they thinking?
Just turn off the rezzes so that only 10% of df pugs can clear it.
You know what, I'll say it.
I don't care if it was unoriginal, Zero becoming a paladin was kino.
It was obvious and cheesy, but I still got a smirk out of it. Guess she's dead as a character now though, at most we'll get a raid series on the 13th or some shit in the future.
i enjoyed seeing not-Golbez cast his meteor attack more
Best boss in Endwalker, it's not even close.
the only fight that actually felt inspired. well, same with rhalgr and his hand arena
chasing AoEs are the best because so many people understand get the "chasing" part
thats a nice cutscene attack you have there. oh wait
OH NO NO NO NO
LOOK AT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD
Bro? Menphina's fight was boring as hell. Oh look, swipes to the left and right, gotta look at the wolf's claw! Oooh watch out for the moon in the background (it's just a line AoE in the middle)
yeah. her big attack takes like 15 seconds to go off
while naldthall will stand there for 30 seconds charging a roundhouse kick.
as much as i adore the story, characters and the 12 themselves, the alliance raid is the easiest since void ark
well get used to it because according to yoship more people liked this raid series
NOOOOOOOOO she's CLEARLY underage you nasty pedos!!!!!!!
>have the entire moon as a basis
>use it for a line aoe and circle aoes and that's it
We already had a cool moon themed boss years ago
>They wouldn't make Zero a trust if she wasn't going to be sticking around
Oh my kek
>Green Mage
Figured. I bet in the trailer it's Krile who tosses the apple to Alisae, camera will swivel and we'll see her in her new job outfit.
So what are they showing at the EU fest?
longer trailer with job reveal , talk with Sakaguchi, development team panel, that's about it
I'm attending but struggling to think of a reason to stay during the day
....that is it?
more DT reveals too
https://fanfest2.finalfantasyxiv.com/2023-24/eu/news/presenting-the-fan-festival-2023-in-london-stage-stream-schedule
there's some other stuff but nothing interesting
So only 2.5 hours are worth watching
Meh
there's very little actual content, it's one of those japanese game conventions where the reason for attending is the news, merch and stuff to do
like most japanese game conventions they're not that good, I'm looking forward to hearing Primals in person at least
yeah. you go to socialize or buy merch. if you only care about information stay home and watch it with your best buddies here on Ganker
Things we can expect:
>one of the Job reveals (likely the melee)
>slightly longer trailer
>Femhroth reveal
>maybe some informations about Dawntrail forays but I would not hope for it.
It's the Japan one that everyone is waiting for - it will ahve the full trailer, the second Job reveal, a teaser trailer that shows off all the Jobs' new skills, and any other remaining details.
>femhroth
i feel like they'll probably save that one for the JP fanfest
maybe they'll show it now so they can reveal the femhroth character in 6.55, but I doubt it
They'll probably tease it but not full reveal, didn't they do that for boy buns?
Endwalker is a special case case due to Covid. It did not have a regular liveletter
i don't think the JP give a frick about femhroth. EU for sure
Hrothgar were a mistake, much like Pandas in wow. Never should have happened.
*Viera
little azdaja was cute. glad they didn't put her in an au ra body.
>the Twelve were supposed to help mortals
>yet they only ever showed up in Eorzea
>in fact their final attack is named Eorzea
Eorzea is the center of the world. Cope. But also, Azeyma was worshiped in Meracydia as Sophia. They probably just have other names in other regions.
Eorzwans are the true master race, forever unconcerned, Garleans kneel to Eorzean chads
iirc all of the calamities involved eorzea
i don't mind the difficulty. they just need to make naldthal hardcast his cutscene phase at percentage of health like menphina instead of having it scheduled
I feel like theres not much visual spectacle in EW trials
nothing like any of the weapons, four lords or even warring tria
anon thats all they fricking are is spectacle. did you miss when reality was shattering when the music changed at zeromus?
nah, theres nothing like platforms breaking, platforms forming, shifted stage, DDR mechanics, even no active time maneuvers
EW trials is all just aoes ad nauseum
Why did they decide now of all time was the place to bring back Ran'jit?
he came back?
So morons can pretend this was all planned from the start, and not the product of a writer literally remembering that this character exists.
