Make it completely free to play and more importantly don't gatekeep important social functions like partying up behind paywalls. I'd be more willing to spend money on the game if it was free to play friendly and didn't have a stupid subscription model.
Have raids that feel like raids rather fight a boss in a circle, rectangle, or a square. End console support. Open up the zones so it doesn't feel like we're playing a game from 2003. Stop having attacks needing to have their animations to finish before any damage goes out (this is why wow felt better than xiv for a long time before they fucked their game up too).
>how do we make x game better >go play y game
shutup cunt, thats like saying to make your house better to live in you should move house. engage with the discussion at hand or go huff amal'jaa farts through a straw.
so you dont actually want the game to be better because other games have better features so you can just go play those? is that it? you want me to be facetious and agree to run on dumb logic?
why are you even in this thread, you just gonna tell everyone making suggestions to stop playing the game? i already did
The only point I agree with you with, is the zones. I much prefer the raiding style of XIV, and I prefer how the combat lines up with this style. There's nothing fucking wrong with console support.

plebs think "changing jobs" and pressing 124,123,123 with googled BIS gear is the same as making actual choices for your playstyle and character in an RPG.
theres is nothing at all about FFXIV that makes it an RPG. you dont even choose your stats. you dont choose your abilities. you dont "go into" dungeons. you dont even level up to unlock new abilities FFXIV is a VN you play to unlock RPG features and RPG minigames
going into a dungeon and leveling up to unlock a high level fire spell is a 400 hour effort in FFXIV and there are significant steps that can be taken to make it better but wont happen because again. TL;DR- people like it being a shit PS3 game. which is fine i guess, for them

the fact you thought i was baiting or part of some shitposting brigade against the game proves how fucked it is. nobody wants it changed so if you have an issue with it you just stop playing because even if you like it, the negative features will never change.
FFXIV has some of my favourite art design in fiction in certain areas but im not clicking through 50,000 text boxes just to use TBN on my level 80 DRK or whatever so i can draw Barbariccia 5 years from now

Cutting off big sources of money from console is the game getting better to you? No, you're just retarded and never cared about what the game was trying to do from the start
Having the raids be just renamed trials made sense thematically in Omega and Eden, but even now that we're exploring the bowels of an Ascian dungeon they still won't change the formula. Is it too much to ask to have a couple rooms of trash before the boss, even just in normal mode? Make up for it by giving the boss less health, normal raid bosses have like 3 mechanics total but still take 10 minutes to kill.
I think having a little bit of running around and exploring in normal modes is a great compromise tbh. It would really help them feel like a "place" and less like an arena I go to fight a boss in. Would have been a great place to show off more cool monsters too.
remove MSQ requirements from content, open it all up all the way to Endwalker and replace it with Level Limits
open PvP to in world areas, the playerbase is coddled enough to set up its own police force to enforce fair duels
incorporate factions into gameplay and stop pretending the WoL is the only person in the world and that every other player you see inherently has to be an NPC or else you and the person next to you both personally knowing Y'shtola doesnt like her butthole touched breaks the premise of the story itself
Talent trees, I can live with the sluggish knock-off WoW combat but the complete lack of meaningful customisation kills the game for me. There's no rpg in this mmorpg
The only difference between your class and the chud's next to you is whether not you can actually press your buttons on time
correction, the only difference between you and the guy next to you at the same level is who is further in the MSQ to be able to use their class skills.
never been slapped in the face by a game harder than reaching level 80, unlocking a skill and not being able to use it because im 50 hours behind the MSQ quest that ACTUALLY unlocks it.

You think you want talent trees but you will just pick what ever is the best, only fools and liars would say otherwise.
>You think you want talent trees but you will just pick what ever is the best
Unless it's completely unplayable I build for what I personally find cool or interesting. Doesn't need to be perfect balanced, I just need options, and not just me but hugh swathes of any given MMO's population would eat minor dps reductions in return for some player expression
do NOT reply to people advocating removal of creativity in any capacity or area of life. it doesnt matter if when given drawing tools in a forest, everybody else draws trees while you look for bugs to draw despite it taking you more time- the point is to let people have whatever fun they want with the game youve made.
people like that are mentally broken and intrinsically lacking faculties if their first idea is to jump to "everyone only make meta anyway" when off the top of my head, made up right on the spot right now-
>Ninja can spec into poison and shinobi buffs or thrown weapons and stealth >buff route makes them a support that allows DOL jobs to help make the poisons and tools >weapon route makes them a DPS that a DOL job allows to MAKE the shurikens or even ANY weapon throwable no matter how expensive or rare
the playerbase gravitating towards the most metabuilds is a problem with the playerbase not a mark against a game system. everyone in Elden Ring span down the toilet into bleed/frost, that deosnt mean i didnt have fun walking around in ragged robes and a golden greatsword playing a disgraced monk. MMO Raiders are rats chewing off their own fur- they like the game being simple and rote because it lets them follow step by step guides to be competent at formulaic content- the content daring to not be formulaic even one time throws them into a rabies fit- evidenced by the outbursts every time a raid is too hard or they burn through unique content in 2 days of grinding straight.
TEE EL DEE ARR- MMOs cant be good because rats cant control their eating habits and need to eat every 6 hours

You WILL get kicked out of high end content because of elitists thinking that only whatever build 'the community' has declared is optimal is acceptable to use
Oh definitely but the most vocal elitists are usually shit tier so they're easy to laugh off unless it's a stacked party. Kind of people who obsess over builds and race balance in RTS games when they're sitting in wood league
>You WILL get kicked out of high end content because of elitists thinking that only whatever build 'the community' has declared is optimal is acceptable to use
Okay then I can make my own fucking group.
I know MMO players hate this concept but yes, you can always make your own fucking group and not rely on somebody else to form them who will set their own gay rules for you to follow.

Why fags still talking about talent tree? shit is only viable in solo games with no group content because you can actually fuck around at only your own detriment.
>Why fags still talking about talent tree? shit is only viable in solo games with no group content because you can actually fuck around at only your own detriment.
Then why does literally every other MMORPG in existence manage to have Talents?
Because they are EXP bloat distract you from how shit the combat is. Even with as bad as job design is in endwalker it's still leagues better than most slop.
All they need to do to fix EW is actually give jobs something to do instead of snoozefest 2 minute rotation cuckery.
Except of course BLM since it is LITERALLY the best job in the game.
>Because they are EXP bloat distract you from how shit the combat is.
I'm glad FF14 has absolutely nothing to distract from how shit the combat is then!
Yeah EW combat is pretty shit, but thankfully I don't need to grind +1 in fire quintessence or some shit to get a silence on my fire II. Instead I can just play fun content that distract from how shit the jobs are.
Don't know why people ITT can't handle talent trees. DDO had full blown D&D character building with point buy stats, feat lists, skills, multiclassing, a gorillion spells AND a bunch of talent trees per class and that game did fine

The only fish that sucks ass to catch in the entire game is Lancetfish. This fish alone had me create an alt due to having to wait in the tempest for 2 weeks before catching it.
As someone who does a lot of crafting I can agree, even with ishgard making leveling the jobs braindead people just don't do it. Among the high end items on the marketboard around 75-90% are listed by RMT bots, that might sound high but it's unfortunately the truth.
You dont even make high end items to make money, leveling gear shits out so much money because people dont want to get poetics. 90 seconds of gather and crafting for upwards of 50k a piece that sells fast, its absurd.
Shit, collectables aren't even that hard and are ludicrous exp and even money off of gripgel.

No I'm pretty sure a fair amount of combat gear sales is GC turn ins.
At least post 50.
That or I just pray people aren't that fucking stupid that they feel they need leveling gear between 10 brackets
There is no way in hell they're turning them in, that is such an extreme waste of money. I usually do the X0 and X5 item sets, they sell high and fast.

Can some ffxivfag tell me where is the fun in the rp clubs?
No one really RPs there and they just /beesknees for a hour or two. Maybe I am missing something there.
People cared when I stopped playing TF2 because it's how we socialized but everyone understood what was going on without a lengthy explanation of being bored and wanting to play something new.
I have seen this behavior with every MMO, and only MMOs.
The people who watch and donate to a streamer for exactly one game they play are immensely mentally unwell and will snap if their parasocial best friend streamer doesn't give them their deserved apology and explanation for anything they do that deviates from the norm.
Thank god the grifters are fucking off. Hopefully the WoWfugees will follow and SE will be forced to put more effort into the content instead on relying on Assmongoloid dumping his millions of fans upon the game.
It has no grind. Bozja and Eureka let you farm a ton of glamour, mounts, gil, minions, while EW time gates them in island sanctuary. If you’re a casual you just log in once a day, set your gay spreadsheet then log out. IS ended up being this game’s garrison and it fucking sucks. I have no doubt Dawntrail is going to be the exact same shit as EW.

Devs are just going to cut shit to see how little content they can get away with before the shiteaters call them out on it. It’s going to be even more cut content before we see any push back from the second life reject player base however.
asking for your opinion if you'd like to help senpaitachi (if you care to read my overly verbose post)
I've been autistically trying to do pretty much everything, and in release order too, for a while, but at this point... man, I really don't care for relics or crafting/gathering whatever, among other things. Honestly I just want to go ahead and do the ShB/EW stuff I've been putting off for years, and aside from half the reason I'd started doing this which was to alleviate inventory woes (while making use of the stuff I've accumulated over the years) and use my Jobs still in levelling to do stuff at its content level, the thing mostly compelling me was all the fucking extra dialogue lines you can get from having done some obscure questline. While it'd be nice to not miss out, I'm starting to feel like it's mostly really not worth it, and if you do the "average major stuff" you'll get shit covered anyway.
Either way I feel like I'd rather move along if I could bring myself to, so 3 questions.
Firstly, while I haven't found myself caring for the ARR/HW relics, Eureka and Bozja are worth giving a shot on their own merit right?
Secondly, will I miss out majorly on anything, be it worthwhile interactions or otherwise anything useful if I skip the shit I mentioned before?
Thirdly, if I want to eventually try my hand at raidchuding, is this feasible without crafting to sustain yourself economically? Might be a dumb question but have always been a casual shitter aside from trying a few EX and Unreal here and there so no experience in this field.
Thanks.
1. eureka barely has a story and bozjas is half baked. both are fun if you like traditional mmo grind
2.there is a lot of dialogue you'll "miss" if you havent done certain content but literally all of it is throwaway lines. the "omg playing as drg when you meet estinien in hw is sooo cool" is absolutely not worth going out of your way to do so
3. you'll save yourself lots of gil if you're poopsocking savage when its current, otherwise make friends with a crafter
You will have to craft or get crafted gear for week 1 raiding. Fortunately, once you are done with the tier you can just sell your loot and recover the cost of your gear plus tip, especially if you do it in early weeks.

Also improve the overworld maps, the EW ones have been flatter and more featureless than ever. At least ShB had things like those winding and serpentine parts in Rak'tika or the Tempest, and SB actually had a fair amount of small hidden spots that served no purpose other than go "Huh that's neat". I'd like ARR-tier maps again if possible.
Level up your jobs, you can knock them off at the same time as a bunch of other achievements from content that also has them.

I hear a lot of people complaining about pf regen healers, is it really that bad? I'm a WHM myself and I'd say my pf experience is generally positive, but my friends keep complaining about reclears.
well this astro was throwing earthly star in the middle of uav 1 only for it to pop and heal nothing because there was no damage when he placed it, he didn't use the shield on any of the tanks, people on his side of the arena for pangen were dying to damage
it was a mess
and in p10s today i had a whm that we were trying to recover from some deaths and he never once tried to throw a gcd heal, i kept seeing glare 1 while i was throwing shields out which obviously weren't enough to keep people alive so we died to damage despite being able to recover

I'd make it have good gameplay. I played it when it relaunched and the gameplay was so boring that I ended up quitting. I remember playing a dragoon and clearing titan I believe which was a fucking pain because the servers back then were in fucking North America even for Europe servers and the lag was fucking bad.
I'm going to the Q&A panel at the fanfest and I'm going to make it my mission to ask a Question.
Ideas for what I should ask???
I'll pick the best and ask Yoshida even if I have to shout it aloud.
I'm so glad I'm going to the London one, I was worried after the American event, how shit and lack luster it was. But they've filled out the London event and even the Gooch is going to be there for two panels I'm so fucking excited to see him. FF9 is my favourite ff game of all time and I'd love to talk even a sentence or two with the Gooch man about the game.
Also that femanon in these threads who wanted to meet up and fuck in London for the fanfest, get in touch lass.
It's also Sakaguchi's favourite FF that he says himself is the best example of what Final Fantasy is. He's the dude who created the entire series versus you, a gay.
He's a goddamn hack who almost sunk the entire company. His only talent was lucking onto a great team and taking credit for what Kawazu, Nojima, Toriyama and Nomura made
As evidenced by the fact that he hasn't made a SINGLE good game since he left Square and no longer has those guys to drag his ass to the finish line. The ONLY good part of LO was the little short stories, and he didn't write those.
>Nojima
AKA the guy who made "Tidus kicks a Blitzball but actually it's a landmine and he gets decapitated on the spot" >Toriyama
AKA the guy who made not just one but three terrible Lightning games >Nomura
AKA the guy who couldn't finish producing a single mainline title without corporate having to step in and force someone else to ship it for him
Great line-up, Square. Real quality content. We're so much better off now that Sakaguchi isn't holding us back.

I never get tired of this Ryne pic. Thank you, anon. All I'm hoping for right now is that she gets at least one voiced cutscene in the next patch. Having her cameo in Endwalker be text-only was such a letdown.
give XI a touch-up, include it with XIV's sub, and add some crossover rewards for actively playing both
imagine how few complaints people would have about Endwalker's lack of content if Square just said "here's a whole other game to play"
>include it with XIV's sub
That will never happen, they will keep the game up as long as it can make even a slight profit but then once that ends they will kill it.

Why does she wear the nose ring and purposely make herself look so much worse than how she looks? Are women afraid of looking beautiful now?
Also fuck sake, fucking Grifters.
She sings whenever it's an Uematsu track, and he's not been involved since Stormblood (with "Revolutions")
AAAUUUGGGHHHHH I HATE THESE TINY DICK NIPS. I remember one interview in early SHB was about why Calloway wasn't doing the vocals and someone, either Yoshida or Soken, made up some bullshit excuse about her voice being Hydaelyn's voice and since we were on a different shard that meant it wouldn't be quite the same.
You should see what Amanda is calling herself on Twitch. "Crystal Mommy". She's fully taken over the role of Hydaelyn in her marketing which is smart but for me Susan will always be the best Hydaelyn. I do like Flow, it's very touching but Answers is so amazing on an Epic scale it can't be beaten.

Using the same logic as the retards here who argue against Talent trees because "everyone would just pick the best build!", than this means the devs would only make Y'shtola romancable.

something that's actually reasoanble? cut the crap and make ninja use aiming gear. it being a pain in the ass to gear was understandable when it was blatantly really good but now that dragoon/monk basically do the same thing if not better in terms of supporting the party ninja is just kind of a contrarian class

I was asking this weeks ago because I had just started leveling pld. You don't even get a fucking heal or party-helping abilities till the late 60s. Its a fucking joke and really proves the point of people bashing on this game for barely being an rpg at all. Even the plds story quests are shit. Gld feels more like war and drk is the true "knight" class that fights for the people that pld SHOULD be. You can't even role play the fucking class. And this is the poster job for endwalker? Ridiculous
As they've reworked jobs over the years they've really thinned out the lower levels in terms of skills and abilities, jobs feel normal once you get past 70 but they really need to push some skills down into the 20-40 range so people have literally anything to press. They've put so much effort into giving all the low level dungeons AI helpers but they forgot the actual player has little to do.
This is the biggest issue in the game. Jobs feel absolutely awful in sync'd content. I'd rather be doing the same complex shit for 10-20+ levels than slowly getting random sticker skills that don't feel complete every like 6 levels.
I wouldn't consider it a massive issue but it's definitely something to look at for the new player experience. If they eventually do go with a second starting point for the game (which they've done a poor job of setting up) then it'll absolutely need to be addressed both for the 1-90 and 90+ ranges.
Make it f2p.
I quite literally don't play it because that shit divided in so many entries & monthly subscription is like $90 lowballing it.
You should be able to pay $60 once like an AAA game and play it forever.
f2p is the death knell of an MMO and you know it. The sub gatekeeps poorfags and third worlders. f2p, with no guaranteed source of income, has to constantly release cosmetics and monetize the game with microtransactions. 14 and wow do the same thing because big corps are staffed entirely by garden gnomes, but it's nowhere near as egregious as in GW2 and ESO. I don't know about WoW, but you can't even get into the mogstation from 14.
God thank FUCK we only have to deal with turdies like barry in threads. If I unironically had to queue with low income porn addicted gacha addict SEApigs IN GAME I'd kill myself.

You won't believe what I would give to make this a reality.
Didn’t elf bitch survive Shiva on multiple occasionally and only died by being blown the fuck up?
I’m not an Other Game refugee so it’s been years since I played HW though
Ysael believed herself to be Shiva, not only was it her follower's belief, but also her own that got her to safely assume the role and lose herself, because she really aww herself as Shiva.
We know this because it didn't work for Ryne at all, Ryne just lost herself.
Yotsuyu only ever did what her cunt of a brother blackmailed her to do as a suicide wish, she believes herself irredeemable and wanted a way out.
Honestly, I'd have just had Yotsuyu live long enough for her and Gosetsu to talk one last time. Also, probably have had her disembowel Asahi, that little cunt deserved so much more excruciating suffering for his dipshittery.
She would have nothing to say to him, Yotsuyu literally thought herself irredeemable, but to make things worse she has full memories of her with him, and the problems she caused the old man.
Her shame would never allow her to speak to him, she'd rather pretend that she doesn't remember a thing and die. Lest she robs him of his cherished memories with "Tsuyu".
Even on a shithole like Ganker, I doubt you'll find many people that have actually gone off the deep end enough to have ERP'd, visited a Nightclub or ERP. /vg/ on the other hand...
3.7k hours and all I do is farming, memeing or chilling with fc. Trying to evade weirdos like the plague, even though sometimes i find amusing the live soap operas on limsa chat.
that would require talking to people, and my social anxiety is so bad that I used to immediately open the duty finder and hit leave as soon as something ended just to prevent seeing anything that could be criticism
I didn't do it with mods or anything but I gooned to glorious rabbit lasses.
This is however explicitly unfair, I was exposed to Do You Like Horny Bunnies one gorrilion years and it set me on the path.
No escape, only cute rabbit girls.
Remake the story with lots of party flash from yshtola, unwanted flashes from skirt pulls and pant tears that is. Add some panty tearing scenes with fully detailed crotch exposure and embarassment.
>ff14 is dying
near instant pvp queues and the fact that I'm still killing world bosses with a whole bunch of people disagree
no one gives a fuck that streamers leave and it's arguably a net positive. no one gives a fuck if some people take a break. in fact that's a good thing - there's like 5 major games that have come out/are coming out in a 60 day timespan. play something else for awhile. the biggest current issue is dc travel turning aether into the default pf datacenter.
>citing oceanic server as a positive
It was a very expensive way to get filthy australians off the japanese servers and into containment. It failed horribly because it turns out the aussies are smarter than a mouse being baited with cheese.
I'm seeing more Sprouts on my server than I have for over a year. No idea what Streamers are leaving staying or doing, seems not to matter. It's off peak for my server and around 5 mins maximum wait time for my dps que on roulette. Seems pretty good to me.

Not to mention Oceania data center and Xbox version. These things are not cheap and the exactly opposite of what you do with a "dying" game.
The last time things were good in this game was in Heavensward, streamers and other gays diluted the playerbase and at this point I only pay my sub because I hope someone on the xiv team will take us back to unique jobs.
so many interesting ways to take this and we got that stupid slop in 6.4 and now were going back to alisaie and jullus? WHY ISNT RYNE ON THAT PATCH ART?
If Zero is still part of our story, part of the cast in 7.0 I'm going to do it, I swear I'm going to do it. I'm going to SKIP ALL THE CUTSCENES I swear and I fucking mean it.

>get the wols on his own shard >no one knows who you are >everyone just thinks your weird or autistic. >destroy the status quo in several kingdoms just being a fetch quest autist.
Even the Catboy has a redemption Arc. I hated him at first but came to tolerate him. I liked how a few of these guys agreed to work together and look out for each other instead of simply walking away solo after we'd completed their respective stories.
>Unukalhai has been hiding his face from (You) for like 8years >Cylva states she cannot share her name with you, yet >Dropped both for donut steel Zero
It was so cool to me how Cylva is a 1.0 call back. I thought they'd completely forgotten her but gave her a story which they didn't have to do and could have forgot she existed.
Anyone know who this guy is? He seem very upset somebody is reporting the trolls on the forums and getting them banned, and even got Customer Support to start a formal investgiation into the mod team there for not acting consistently.
All I know is he browses here clearly. He seems to be pleading for the guy to stop his "crusade". Considering how far it's escalated I don't think there is any getting off of this wild ride, Mr. Noumenon.
Wait I was in that thread, that user he's referring to has never even posted before, assuming it's that's the name of the account of that anon. How would he know if somebody who never posted before was banned or not unless he's a moderator? He's not a moderator is he?
I've never played FF14, but I legitimately think the entire MMO part should just be stripped out completely. Literally 100% of all people who have ever installed the game, do it for the ERP. No one does it because they think the MMO gameplay content is legitimately fun or worthwhile, they do that shit to pass the time and to earn artificial access to outfits to roleplay with.
Just remove all of it. It's bad, it's not fun, it's stupid, and it's not good gameplay to begin with. Just leave the game as a sandbox for RP and you'll literally make way, way more money than you ever did selling a mediocre MMORPG.
I am being completely serious that the only reason I ever got into RP was for ERP and I treated all RP as foreplay till the real reason people log in begins. RP is fucking boring and I had done it for awhile. Waiting 15 minutes for someone to write a post that isn't about them sucking cock is genuinely dull. Not even coomer brained btw, its just fucking dull and I'm tired of pretending it isn't.
A completely serious comment, make it an M rated game. Kids don't play MMOs nor do they make money to pay for it. Secondly close all the player clubs and venues. I want to come across people fucking in cities and stables and alleyways again so I can join in. Everyone going to private places to fuck means I have to join discords and shit to get people to mask off about being horny sluts. Third swear to never ban anyone for modding.
Or just like make content that isn't token grinding for the last year and a half and make new gear sets. I'm very disappointed like the last two expansions every dungeon doesn't have a brand new unique gear set. They have the money and time.
The game is pandering too much to raidfags. Every mmo eventually does this and kills itself. I log in and see so many "Legends" because these are the only fags who still really want to play this game. Regular players are bored and leaving.
>They're just going to conveniently forget that she's burning her lifespan to see in aethervision, aren't they?
Only the english version of XIV has that statement and even there its less dramatic than you pretend it is. All the times she is clearly exhausted from sharing her aether or other shit like that? Thats the effect of her aether leak.
The Japanese makes it less of a "candle that burns twice as bright" and more like her battery's going to run out more quickly because she's got more processes draining it, but it's still rechargeable.
Not that that latter interpretation means too much either since she's capable of way more than she was in ARR, but it does mean they get to write scenes where she's exhausted for plot reasons.
>MUH DEATH >KILL SCIONS NAAAAOOOO
XIV has tge highest bodycount in the franchise safe for maybe FFII and you fags keep crying about it. The series clearly isnt for you. So either go play sonething else or have a nice day.
ARR: >most of the OG scions >some of the second wave scions during crystal brave mutiny >moenbryda >minfilia >nanamo before they pussied out
HW: >ysayle >haurchefant >minfilia (again) >papalymo
SB: >meffrid >that fucking old guy who existed solely to make lyse commander
SHB: >minfilia (for real this time) >emet selch
EW: >the radz guy who existed solely to reveal vrtra
XIV doesn't deserve the bodycount reputation it used to have when said bodycount hasn't been relevant for 6 years.
I really feel like every fucking place that tries to have a club should just stop. No one goes to that shit. No one goes to most public venues. RP in the city. I'm begging you RP anywhere that isn't the quicksands. Do literally anything with the game space. I will take a fucking night market in Limsa.
>Retard who gives half a shit about OF posts is an assmongoloid watcher
Not surprised. Summer 2021 and its consequences have been a disaster for the Final Fantasy XIV community.
I mean they've barely made any content this year. Even the artifact weapons was just tomestone grinding. Nothing unique compared to every other weapon. Like you do this for your usual weekly weapon. I think FF16 development slowed the team down and they ended up neglecting a lot of the game.
I like Lyse and I like that she left. It shows she actually has a life and goal beyond being a selfless hero for no real reason unlike the other scions. Thancred is my favorite Scion, but I wish he killed Ranjit, was injured and retired on the First somehow.
>inb4 someone says that's not possible but is okay with the shit writing to make Graha a Scion
More fat cat tat
Make it completely free to play and more importantly don't gatekeep important social functions like partying up behind paywalls. I'd be more willing to spend money on the game if it was free to play friendly and didn't have a stupid subscription model.
If it was free how would you pay them for it
I'd rather they increase the sub by 5 dollars and remove the cash shop
Get fucked
i miss my beautiful smartwife, back when she had personality and wasn't just the walking deus ex machina
Have raids that feel like raids rather fight a boss in a circle, rectangle, or a square. End console support. Open up the zones so it doesn't feel like we're playing a game from 2003. Stop having attacks needing to have their animations to finish before any damage goes out (this is why wow felt better than xiv for a long time before they fucked their game up too).
Go play WoW then.
>how do we make x game better
>go play y game
shutup cunt, thats like saying to make your house better to live in you should move house. engage with the discussion at hand or go huff amal'jaa farts through a straw.
Yeah, sometimes moving house is the answer. Everything you listed is a core feature of WoW . If you want WoW, then play WoW
so you dont actually want the game to be better because other games have better features so you can just go play those? is that it? you want me to be facetious and agree to run on dumb logic?
why are you even in this thread, you just gonna tell everyone making suggestions to stop playing the game? i already did
The only point I agree with you with, is the zones. I much prefer the raiding style of XIV, and I prefer how the combat lines up with this style. There's nothing fucking wrong with console support.
you didnt agree with me kek, that wasnt my post i just sperged out because you dismissed the entire thing as "jus go play differnet game". when you couldve said what you said just now.
there are issues with the game that wont be fixed both because Yoshi P 1986 vision and because
plebs think "changing jobs" and pressing 124,123,123 with googled BIS gear is the same as making actual choices for your playstyle and character in an RPG.
theres is nothing at all about FFXIV that makes it an RPG. you dont even choose your stats. you dont choose your abilities. you dont "go into" dungeons. you dont even level up to unlock new abilities FFXIV is a VN you play to unlock RPG features and RPG minigames
going into a dungeon and leveling up to unlock a high level fire spell is a 400 hour effort in FFXIV and there are significant steps that can be taken to make it better but wont happen because again. TL;DR- people like it being a shit PS3 game. which is fine i guess, for them
Just get it over with and start calling people cultists lil bro
This post is trying too hard
the fact you thought i was baiting or part of some shitposting brigade against the game proves how fucked it is. nobody wants it changed so if you have an issue with it you just stop playing because even if you like it, the negative features will never change.
FFXIV has some of my favourite art design in fiction in certain areas but im not clicking through 50,000 text boxes just to use TBN on my level 80 DRK or whatever so i can draw Barbariccia 5 years from now

Cutting off big sources of money from console is the game getting better to you? No, you're just retarded and never cared about what the game was trying to do from the start
only your last point is good but they'll never change that because it's tied in with the netcode
>End console support.
haha I wish
Having the raids be just renamed trials made sense thematically in Omega and Eden, but even now that we're exploring the bowels of an Ascian dungeon they still won't change the formula. Is it too much to ask to have a couple rooms of trash before the boss, even just in normal mode? Make up for it by giving the boss less health, normal raid bosses have like 3 mechanics total but still take 10 minutes to kill.
I think having a little bit of running around and exploring in normal modes is a great compromise tbh. It would really help them feel like a "place" and less like an arena I go to fight a boss in. Would have been a great place to show off more cool monsters too.
Anyone who has ever ERP'd getting permanently banned. Would surely increase the quality of players by a lot.
remove MSQ requirements from content, open it all up all the way to Endwalker and replace it with Level Limits
open PvP to in world areas, the playerbase is coddled enough to set up its own police force to enforce fair duels
incorporate factions into gameplay and stop pretending the WoL is the only person in the world and that every other player you see inherently has to be an NPC or else you and the person next to you both personally knowing Y'shtola doesnt like her butthole touched breaks the premise of the story itself
open PVP would kill the game. Take your tryhard ass to the frontlines of the current warzone if you really wanna prove how "hardcore" you really are.
Open PVPfags see their games die every day because nobody likes the concept and want to drag their concept to other games to nuke them.
>open pvp
lmao
you're either the retard getting ganked or the retard wasting his life doing the ganking, both aren't fun at all
Talent trees, I can live with the sluggish knock-off WoW combat but the complete lack of meaningful customisation kills the game for me. There's no rpg in this mmorpg
The only difference between your class and the chud's next to you is whether not you can actually press your buttons on time
There's no rpg in this mmorpg
there's no mmo either
correction, the only difference between you and the guy next to you at the same level is who is further in the MSQ to be able to use their class skills.
never been slapped in the face by a game harder than reaching level 80, unlocking a skill and not being able to use it because im 50 hours behind the MSQ quest that ACTUALLY unlocks it.
>wasn’t around when cross class was a thing
You think you want talent trees but you will just pick what ever is the best, only fools and liars would say otherwise.
>You think you want talent trees but you will just pick what ever is the best
Unless it's completely unplayable I build for what I personally find cool or interesting. Doesn't need to be perfect balanced, I just need options, and not just me but hugh swathes of any given MMO's population would eat minor dps reductions in return for some player expression
Play a different class then, that’s why you can swap jobs on one character
do NOT reply to people advocating removal of creativity in any capacity or area of life. it doesnt matter if when given drawing tools in a forest, everybody else draws trees while you look for bugs to draw despite it taking you more time- the point is to let people have whatever fun they want with the game youve made.
people like that are mentally broken and intrinsically lacking faculties if their first idea is to jump to "everyone only make meta anyway" when off the top of my head, made up right on the spot right now-
>Ninja can spec into poison and shinobi buffs or thrown weapons and stealth
>buff route makes them a support that allows DOL jobs to help make the poisons and tools
>weapon route makes them a DPS that a DOL job allows to MAKE the shurikens or even ANY weapon throwable no matter how expensive or rare
the playerbase gravitating towards the most metabuilds is a problem with the playerbase not a mark against a game system. everyone in Elden Ring span down the toilet into bleed/frost, that deosnt mean i didnt have fun walking around in ragged robes and a golden greatsword playing a disgraced monk. MMO Raiders are rats chewing off their own fur- they like the game being simple and rote because it lets them follow step by step guides to be competent at formulaic content- the content daring to not be formulaic even one time throws them into a rabies fit- evidenced by the outbursts every time a raid is too hard or they burn through unique content in 2 days of grinding straight.
TEE EL DEE ARR- MMOs cant be good because rats cant control their eating habits and need to eat every 6 hours
This is why RPGs with optional online are always better than fucking MMOs
False.
Wrong.
>I want talent trees!
*swaps jobs*
I CAN DO ANYTHING!!
A CHAOS CHAOS!!
Retard my post is against talent trees
I don't want to play other jobs, retard. How is this so hard for people to understand
You WILL get kicked out of high end content because of elitists thinking that only whatever build 'the community' has declared is optimal is acceptable to use
Oh definitely but the most vocal elitists are usually shit tier so they're easy to laugh off unless it's a stacked party. Kind of people who obsess over builds and race balance in RTS games when they're sitting in wood league
>You WILL get kicked out of high end content because of elitists thinking that only whatever build 'the community' has declared is optimal is acceptable to use
Okay then I can make my own fucking group.
I know MMO players hate this concept but yes, you can always make your own fucking group and not rely on somebody else to form them who will set their own gay rules for you to follow.
I WANT SEX SEX SEX SEX SEX
it just means people will build towards a meta. It's the illusion of choice.
>Talent trees
>meaningful customization
Pick one and only one
>Add Talent Trees.
>90% of them are just number changes.
>Million pages pop up with the "correct build" all copying from each other (with the most daring moving one point from +1% dps to +1% crit).

Great idea!
Why fags still talking about talent tree? shit is only viable in solo games with no group content because you can actually fuck around at only your own detriment.
>Why fags still talking about talent tree? shit is only viable in solo games with no group content because you can actually fuck around at only your own detriment.
Then why does literally every other MMORPG in existence manage to have Talents?
Because they are EXP bloat distract you from how shit the combat is. Even with as bad as job design is in endwalker it's still leagues better than most slop.
All they need to do to fix EW is actually give jobs something to do instead of snoozefest 2 minute rotation cuckery.
Except of course BLM since it is LITERALLY the best job in the game.
>Because they are EXP bloat distract you from how shit the combat is.
I'm glad FF14 has absolutely nothing to distract from how shit the combat is then!
Yeah EW combat is pretty shit, but thankfully I don't need to grind +1 in fire quintessence or some shit to get a silence on my fire II. Instead I can just play fun content that distract from how shit the jobs are.
Don't know why people ITT can't handle talent trees. DDO had full blown D&D character building with point buy stats, feat lists, skills, multiclassing, a gorillion spells AND a bunch of talent trees per class and that game did fine
Making meme builds is a major part of the RPG experience

make the scions besides alphinaud actually characters before shadowbringers
Alisae is just inexplicably standing in the Waking Sands next to Urianger when you unlock extreme trials in HW. makes no fucking sense. 200hrs of gameplay after she disappears and shes just standing there til SB
removing red alphinaud altogether would have made the game better
as well as pretty much everything to do with gyr abania
>ffxiv Ganker general is posting AIslop now
when you think you cant get any lower
I'd make most of the game an eroge where you romance, date, and have nude scenes with Alisaie. Can also do it with Y'shtola, Lyse, Tataru, and Krile.
Add bozja again but more colorful
>change
More Shtola.

Apart from EO, all those are hardcore.
Savage, Criterion and BLU are all midcore content

I'm one of the 1% that cleared BLU Eden, doesn't change the fact that raiding is hardcore. The only people doing this are also those who do savage and ultimates.
>new IP

I'm on mobile 🙂
I can see SOME first and second Savage fights being midcore content but not the rest. Shit like Hephaistos is absolutely not midcore content.
Is this an actual picture made by her? As it would be kinda ironic for someone who didn't unlock CT until it was part of the MSQ.
nah I made it because I was curious to see if Ganker would talk about architecture
Then remove the hag.

TRANS DEAD GAME
I would remove all class requirements from glam.
i would remove Emet-Selch from the game because he's pedophile coded and everyone who likes him is also a pedo
ffxiv's dwindling playerbase consists of nothing but pedos and trannies, anon
Make it 18+ game with full nudity and built in coomer mods and then permaban all trannies who complain about it on social media.
Would probably work better with an entirely new game. But this would probably increase the quality of the game/playerbase
I wish Lyse's tits were that big in game like they are in her official artwork.
this so much, I would finally play your game
I love midlander and highlander women so much it's (Unreal).
This, ban all the futa/dick girls and let us impregnate Ryne ingame.
Impregnate my daughter.
I am no longer asking.
Okay.

It's only autistic for losers with no irl achievements, but I guess that's MMO players in general.
You post on Ganker
you can stop posting on Ganker to go play videogames, if you do high level autistic collection content in FFXIV you cant and dont stop, its sort of the point.
anon
you post on Ganker
So do you!
That's an unexpected projection but alright
I only have 17 fish left to catch before I've got them all
Your greentext is basically how I did it
It's just gambling, but if you don't win you don't lose anything other than your time.
If you give it enough time and attempts, you will get the fish
Exactly, and if a time doesn't fit in when you're free then just look forward to it in another two weeks or so. Only sane way to do it.
The only fish that sucks ass to catch in the entire game is Lancetfish. This fish alone had me create an alt due to having to wait in the tempest for 2 weeks before catching it.
>crafting/gathering
>casual
Please, casuals lack the patience. Hell, even most raiders lack it. That's why so much crafted shit makes bank.
As someone who does a lot of crafting I can agree, even with ishgard making leveling the jobs braindead people just don't do it. Among the high end items on the marketboard around 75-90% are listed by RMT bots, that might sound high but it's unfortunately the truth.
You dont even make high end items to make money, leveling gear shits out so much money because people dont want to get poetics. 90 seconds of gather and crafting for upwards of 50k a piece that sells fast, its absurd.
Shit, collectables aren't even that hard and are ludicrous exp and even money off of gripgel.
No I'm pretty sure a fair amount of combat gear sales is GC turn ins.
At least post 50.
That or I just pray people aren't that fucking stupid that they feel they need leveling gear between 10 brackets
There is no way in hell they're turning them in, that is such an extreme waste of money. I usually do the X0 and X5 item sets, they sell high and fast.
I dunno, people are dumb.
Even I will sometimes buy my turn ins if they're cheap and I'm lacking time
More things to do in areas like how Guild Wars 2 does

unironically yes. looking at it longer than a moment right now and it falls the fuck apart

Garbage players need guidance and set patterns
They can't think for themselves
Make it 100% single-player, including the raids
The worst part of the game is the other people who play it
.
I think XIGanker threads are my favorite example of how out of touch and irrelevant Ganker is in the grand scheme of things
Thank you for reminding me
Honestly the only thing where Ganker is out of touch regarding this game is lalafucking
maybe
Its full of rejects from /xivg/ and official forums these days. Best XIV threads were on Ganker before it becames Ganker - Trails of Cold Steel
pretty sure /vreanpg/ has been over for years now
that said while i love xiv and rpgs it doesn't belong on Ganker
I wish lalafells had more of a short stack build.

>All of this to say "I'm playing another video game"
Why are MMO players like this? You never see a full on treatise when someone stops playing TF2 to go play another shooter or whatever.
You have to understand these folks legitimately think people care that they are leaving.
People cared when I stopped playing TF2 because it's how we socialized but everyone understood what was going on without a lengthy explanation of being bored and wanting to play something new.
I have seen this behavior with every MMO, and only MMOs.
FFXIV legit never had streamers, we had folks that made videos but streamers legit get dropped after they come with the story
Black Fat Chocobo Twitch promotion was a mistake
I got mines from Amazon buying, anything needing to buy streamers subs is cancer
Amazon had the black one too? I got the white one and the maid/butler outfits from their promotion several years ago.
I still don't see how that has any to do with this behavior of explaining why you're quitting for MMOs.
The people who watch and donate to a streamer for exactly one game they play are immensely mentally unwell and will snap if their parasocial best friend streamer doesn't give them their deserved apology and explanation for anything they do that deviates from the norm.
My fc still plays it so I don’t care, also bozja and PvP are still alive so I’m fine
Thank god the grifters are fucking off. Hopefully the WoWfugees will follow and SE will be forced to put more effort into the content instead on relying on Assmongoloid dumping his millions of fans upon the game.
there is nobody left
everyone quit
Honestly who is this? I've never heard of him before?
My sub expires Friday. Been subbed since 2.2 for reference.
ok. bye. see you in 6.5
It has no grind. Bozja and Eureka let you farm a ton of glamour, mounts, gil, minions, while EW time gates them in island sanctuary. If you’re a casual you just log in once a day, set your gay spreadsheet then log out. IS ended up being this game’s garrison and it fucking sucks. I have no doubt Dawntrail is going to be the exact same shit as EW.

>go farm ishgard restoration

Devs are just going to cut shit to see how little content they can get away with before the shiteaters call them out on it. It’s going to be even more cut content before we see any push back from the second life reject player base however.
asking for your opinion if you'd like to help senpaitachi (if you care to read my overly verbose post)
I've been autistically trying to do pretty much everything, and in release order too, for a while, but at this point... man, I really don't care for relics or crafting/gathering whatever, among other things. Honestly I just want to go ahead and do the ShB/EW stuff I've been putting off for years, and aside from half the reason I'd started doing this which was to alleviate inventory woes (while making use of the stuff I've accumulated over the years) and use my Jobs still in levelling to do stuff at its content level, the thing mostly compelling me was all the fucking extra dialogue lines you can get from having done some obscure questline. While it'd be nice to not miss out, I'm starting to feel like it's mostly really not worth it, and if you do the "average major stuff" you'll get shit covered anyway.
Either way I feel like I'd rather move along if I could bring myself to, so 3 questions.
Firstly, while I haven't found myself caring for the ARR/HW relics, Eureka and Bozja are worth giving a shot on their own merit right?
Secondly, will I miss out majorly on anything, be it worthwhile interactions or otherwise anything useful if I skip the shit I mentioned before?
Thirdly, if I want to eventually try my hand at raidchuding, is this feasible without crafting to sustain yourself economically? Might be a dumb question but have always been a casual shitter aside from trying a few EX and Unreal here and there so no experience in this field.
Thanks.
1. eureka barely has a story and bozjas is half baked. both are fun if you like traditional mmo grind
2.there is a lot of dialogue you'll "miss" if you havent done certain content but literally all of it is throwaway lines. the "omg playing as drg when you meet estinien in hw is sooo cool" is absolutely not worth going out of your way to do so
3. you'll save yourself lots of gil if you're poopsocking savage when its current, otherwise make friends with a crafter
You will have to craft or get crafted gear for week 1 raiding. Fortunately, once you are done with the tier you can just sell your loot and recover the cost of your gear plus tip, especially if you do it in early weeks.
it really does feel like ff14 has been abandoned by everyone
There's basically no new blood coming into the game so it's a noticeable decline when the veterans jump ship
>tfw waited 18 minutes for sastasha
where is everybody
I don't want to play with npcs

I would end the servers and delete this godforsaken game

More Ystola is revealing clothing and being cute.
Yda personality back to her adventuring days.
Yotsuyu doesn't die continues adventures with lost memories.
More kissy-kissy Ryne threesome adventures.
I will now subscribe for another 10 years.
I have decided I'm going to get every achievement in the game. Every single one.
What should I start with?
The Accursed
Let everyone have their waifus and husbandos and let me EB my gato wife.
Also improve the overworld maps, the EW ones have been flatter and more featureless than ever. At least ShB had things like those winding and serpentine parts in Rak'tika or the Tempest, and SB actually had a fair amount of small hidden spots that served no purpose other than go "Huh that's neat". I'd like ARR-tier maps again if possible.
Level up your jobs, you can knock them off at the same time as a bunch of other achievements from content that also has them.
good luck bro :^)
hope you didn't miss out on previous seasonal event cheevos :^)
Buy an account, you've missed a lot of achievements from feast, diadem, 1.0, amd events.
i mean, you could also seek therapy for OCD, but if you're committed then i suggest the levequest achievements, some of them will take years of daily levequest grinding
all the fishing ones
Y'shtola isn't just best XIV or FF girl, she's best girl of all time.

What about the barely disguised porn/waifu posters?
They have weak energy. They can barely keep them off page 10. Doomchads give these threads LIFE
Doomposters are literally the only people that talk about the gameplay.

Unfortunately you need to go to Light to get anything done nowadays.
Add Wanzers from Front Mission.
There are zero reasons to back to the game and unless Dawntrail brings something new, I think I will only play this game 1 month per expansion.

It's ok when it's not politically soapboxing and throwing ugly minority caricatures in your face
i refuse to believe any human being came to the conclusion this was the point of the plotline
trying to reclear p12s as a healer with a shtity astro co-healer and a reaper that is griefing is the worst raiding experience i've ever had
I hear a lot of people complaining about pf regen healers, is it really that bad? I'm a WHM myself and I'd say my pf experience is generally positive, but my friends keep complaining about reclears.
well this astro was throwing earthly star in the middle of uav 1 only for it to pop and heal nothing because there was no damage when he placed it, he didn't use the shield on any of the tanks, people on his side of the arena for pangen were dying to damage
it was a mess
and in p10s today i had a whm that we were trying to recover from some deaths and he never once tried to throw a gcd heal, i kept seeing glare 1 while i was throwing shields out which obviously weren't enough to keep people alive so we died to damage despite being able to recover
i mean just look at this
>27% healing done
>Somehow 44% overhealing
Yep basically my experience with PF as well as a SGE...
Any of you anons going to the London fanfest?
if you are you want to meet up
I'd make it have good gameplay. I played it when it relaunched and the gameplay was so boring that I ended up quitting. I remember playing a dragoon and clearing titan I believe which was a fucking pain because the servers back then were in fucking North America even for Europe servers and the lag was fucking bad.
I'm going to the Q&A panel at the fanfest and I'm going to make it my mission to ask a Question.
Ideas for what I should ask???
I'll pick the best and ask Yoshida even if I have to shout it aloud.
Make Ryne & Gaia scions
My two wives.
I love my daughterfu and her girlfriend so much
London fanfest sounds actually fun
What the fuck were they thinking with NA?
NA and EU FF are always nothingburgers.
I'm so glad I'm going to the London one, I was worried after the American event, how shit and lack luster it was. But they've filled out the London event and even the Gooch is going to be there for two panels I'm so fucking excited to see him. FF9 is my favourite ff game of all time and I'd love to talk even a sentence or two with the Gooch man about the game.
Also that femanon in these threads who wanted to meet up and fuck in London for the fanfest, get in touch lass.
>FF9 is my favourite ff game of all time
It's also Sakaguchi's favourite FF that he says himself is the best example of what Final Fantasy is. He's the dude who created the entire series versus you, a gay.
>He's BiS
Holy based, how can one man be so powerful?
The weapon isn't BIS
I just looked him up on lodestone, he has the ilvl665 weapon now.
He cleared 12, he tweeted his Axolotl
Sakaguchi is better than Ganker
I'm proud of him
I can't wait to hear him talk about his FF14 playthrough at the London FF, it's going to be so fucking comfy.
>gets carried
>WOWEE THIS CELEB IS SKILLED
So if someone gets carried in this game's endgame content what is your excuse for not doing it?
He's a goddamn hack who almost sunk the entire company. His only talent was lucking onto a great team and taking credit for what Kawazu, Nojima, Toriyama and Nomura made
As evidenced by the fact that he hasn't made a SINGLE good game since he left Square and no longer has those guys to drag his ass to the finish line. The ONLY good part of LO was the little short stories, and he didn't write those.
>Nojima
AKA the guy who made "Tidus kicks a Blitzball but actually it's a landmine and he gets decapitated on the spot"
>Toriyama
AKA the guy who made not just one but three terrible Lightning games
>Nomura
AKA the guy who couldn't finish producing a single mainline title without corporate having to step in and force someone else to ship it for him
Great line-up, Square. Real quality content. We're so much better off now that Sakaguchi isn't holding us back.
I think we should kill this company, it's all benefits. Make FF a public IP

Bring back Butcher's Block
And all the other cool actions they removed. Holy shit they fucked DRK by taking away all the best animations and leaving us with disjointed, weird looking shit
Finally, a good post.
So many cool animations cosigned to hell while, swing-swing swing-swing swing swing is all WAR has outside of fel cleave spam.
Remove auto-damage, classes that require it for their mechanics to work seem clunky to me.
Change Scholar back to Heavensward, then dip Yoshi-P in tar and feathers and put a restraining order against him ever touching or talking about a healer job again. God damn the enjoyment of this game has gone down the toilet after he snorted grounded toilet seats and decided to sacrifice job skills so he could brag about game balance where every class is the same.
I would bring back 1.23 and build a whole separate game off that instead of the WoW clone we got
ability to make shorter Viera.
>shorter Viera
Just play a male.
sorry im not a pedophile
>The end of the last delivery questline where they ask the male viera to return and have sex with all the bunny ladies

I love those big bunnies.

>the whole tribe it ovulating right now, come home and mate with us
>nah, I'll stay in Il Mheg with the souls of dead kids
I guess he is more of a petite guy
He seemed kind of slow in the head anyway, wouldn't want him making (even more) retarded bunnies.
Give him a break, he probably still have leaves in his brain
>He seemed kind of slow in the head
Well he was transformed into a literal bush, that can't be good for your brain.
Male viera are either disgusting goonettes or groomers who failed as Au'Ras.
I'd revert everything back to HW and start over.
Last good expac tbh
Add sex in the game.
So I can sex Ryne and Gaia at the same time.
good luck to you. I'd instantly lose to Gaia's mesmerizing lips... one kiss from her would do me in
For me it's Ryne, I love reds.
Ryne makes my heart melt, Gaia makes my brain melt.
you wouldn't, she'd be sloppeh at it
>Gaia's lips
Remove every useless fucking side quest where you kill amount of ___ or deliver ___

Remove the entire first chapter
Ban the trannies
Give me my money back that I spent on this piece of shit
Just remove every sidequest or consolidate them down to short stories involving the entire zone. Why are they wasting time making that shit?
remove the yoshi p
I hope Ryne's return in the next patch leads to her following us back to the source.
I never get tired of this Ryne pic. Thank you, anon. All I'm hoping for right now is that she gets at least one voiced cutscene in the next patch. Having her cameo in Endwalker be text-only was such a letdown.
It's by ZelErohcir, he's made a few Ryne pics.
give XI a touch-up, include it with XIV's sub, and add some crossover rewards for actively playing both
imagine how few complaints people would have about Endwalker's lack of content if Square just said "here's a whole other game to play"
i'd play xi if they did that
>include it with XIV's sub
That will never happen, they will keep the game up as long as it can make even a slight profit but then once that ends they will kill it.
>Amanda Achen is Streaming herself playing the game with Arthars as one of her mods
Why does she wear the nose ring and purposely make herself look so much worse than how she looks? Are women afraid of looking beautiful now?
Also fuck sake, fucking Grifters.
Am I supposed to know who any of those people are?
If you've played FFXIV for a long time then yes.
I have played since 2.0 and never heard of them, because I don't give a FUCK about ecelebs
if you know who soken is you should know who amanda
I don't give a fuck about some shadowzoomer singer. Bring back Calloway, why hasn't she returned???
Calloway is Umetsu's white girl, Soken wanted one for himself and found Amanda on Instagram. I shit you not this is how it went.
AAAUUUGGGHHHHH I HATE THESE TINY DICK NIPS. I remember one interview in early SHB was about why Calloway wasn't doing the vocals and someone, either Yoshida or Soken, made up some bullshit excuse about her voice being Hydaelyn's voice and since we were on a different shard that meant it wouldn't be quite the same.
You should see what Amanda is calling herself on Twitch. "Crystal Mommy". She's fully taken over the role of Hydaelyn in her marketing which is smart but for me Susan will always be the best Hydaelyn. I do like Flow, it's very touching but Answers is so amazing on an Epic scale it can't be beaten.
Its annoying but their agents are at least smart enough to realize XIV fans are easily exploitable.
I cleared months ago, howeverbeitough.
Oh shit I kneel.
She sings whenever it's an Uematsu track, and he's not been involved since Stormblood (with "Revolutions")
>UH OH, IS THAT A WOMAN WITH A PIERCING? UNACCEPTABLE
Why do you larp as some Trad dude who unironically cares about this on an anonymous imageboard where people openly express the desire to fuck underage children and animals and jerk off to anime girls?
Nose rings look like shit.
Nose rings, the reason why women wear them is to make themselves less attractive towards men. This isn't some schizo theory, they literally say it.
Achen is Streaming herself playing the game with Arthars as one of her mods
How long until she pulls a Hermes's Voice actor and ghosts the game partway through ARR?
Why do xivies think literally anybody will play their garbage visual novel and enjoy it like they do? There's a reason ARR is known as "filter": because it has filtered 99% of anyone who has ever tried to play this game.
WOW LOOK AT HOW MUCH FUN SHE'S HAVING WITH OUR GAME, BROS

Add the ability to marry and impregnate one of the female Scions between Stormblood and Shadowbringer, with a dedicated side quest chain where you spend time together as a family that has 1 or 2 quests per expansion.

Dig up Minfilia's corpse?
They wont allow Krile because YoshiP is a tard who treats lalas like children.
No. 60% of the player base would. The other 40% would play female characters and drain G'raha's balls until he looked like a mummy.
>Zelink fag infesting
No wonder the threads have been shit lately. Back to Ganker I go I guess.
That's not Link you fagboat.
90% of graha art is him dicking meteor.
>g'raha dicking meteor
That's not how fujos like it.
There's no way you don't understand women being into /y/ the same way guys can be into /u/.
All of the graha fuckers that do art are trannoids, lesbians or homos. To begin self inserting fujos are rare to begin with. Most of them just like watching dudes fuck, it's not the same as /u/.
This artist who is probably one of the most popular ones is a trannoid. I can reply with more if you want.
Sure go for it.
Homo
I refuse to believe G'raha would have such overwhelming majority over the other male Scions. There's way more choices on that side.
Yeah it's more even, girls lust over Estinien pretty hard. Then you got dad mode Thancred and Urianger.
>If they did 90% of the playerbase would pick Y'shtola.
Using the same logic as the retards here who argue against Talent trees because "everyone would just pick the best build!", than this means the devs would only make Y'shtola romancable.

something that's actually reasoanble? cut the crap and make ninja use aiming gear. it being a pain in the ass to gear was understandable when it was blatantly really good but now that dragoon/monk basically do the same thing if not better in terms of supporting the party ninja is just kind of a contrarian class

I would bring back all the little sidequests they cut from ARR. I am still genuinely mad about it.
I would make it a single player offline game.
This is the only real answer. MMOs are barely above gachashit
I would love to see savage level content for solo players, but there are better games for that, but nah I want it in XIV.
Maybe more jobs or lala hairstyles
>PLD gets his first offensive spell at level 64
>Half his kit locked behind two expansions
Why the FUCK haven't they fixed this shit yesterday?
I was asking this weeks ago because I had just started leveling pld. You don't even get a fucking heal or party-helping abilities till the late 60s. Its a fucking joke and really proves the point of people bashing on this game for barely being an rpg at all. Even the plds story quests are shit. Gld feels more like war and drk is the true "knight" class that fights for the people that pld SHOULD be. You can't even role play the fucking class. And this is the poster job for endwalker? Ridiculous
I feel like PLD is a storyline they genuinely should take out of the game and replace with something else.
As they've reworked jobs over the years they've really thinned out the lower levels in terms of skills and abilities, jobs feel normal once you get past 70 but they really need to push some skills down into the 20-40 range so people have literally anything to press. They've put so much effort into giving all the low level dungeons AI helpers but they forgot the actual player has little to do.
This is the biggest issue in the game. Jobs feel absolutely awful in sync'd content. I'd rather be doing the same complex shit for 10-20+ levels than slowly getting random sticker skills that don't feel complete every like 6 levels.
I wouldn't consider it a massive issue but it's definitely something to look at for the new player experience. If they eventually do go with a second starting point for the game (which they've done a poor job of setting up) then it'll absolutely need to be addressed both for the 1-90 and 90+ ranges.
Divvy out abilities earlier than fucking 30. ARR is cool and all but fucking hell there's 3 buttons to press until 30
Make it an actual MMO and not some single player lobby shit.
I would make the tough decision to ban all mods and addons because you morons have ruined high end pvp and pve forever. Fuck you.

Make it f2p.
I quite literally don't play it because that shit divided in so many entries & monthly subscription is like $90 lowballing it.
You should be able to pay $60 once like an AAA game and play it forever.
A F2P MMO is a doomed MMO.
f2p is the death knell of an MMO and you know it. The sub gatekeeps poorfags and third worlders. f2p, with no guaranteed source of income, has to constantly release cosmetics and monetize the game with microtransactions. 14 and wow do the same thing because big corps are staffed entirely by garden gnomes, but it's nowhere near as egregious as in GW2 and ESO. I don't know about WoW, but you can't even get into the mogstation from 14.
imo the sub for new content + increasing amount of old content given in the free trial as a pseudo-F2P model has the best of both worlds
God thank FUCK we only have to deal with turdies like barry in threads. If I unironically had to queue with low income porn addicted gacha addict SEApigs IN GAME I'd kill myself.

Gonna post an idea I stole from someone else in another thread:
>Yotsuyu survives Tsukuyomi
>Just like Fordola and her transplanted-echo fuckery, this is considered to be exceptional
>the Scions want to learn more of this ability
>Gosetsu (and Hien) realize that to keep her around would only lead to her people mistreating her further, and agree for them to take her under their wing
>you return post ShB to find that she's actually been carrying a good deal of weight while you and the A-team were away.
>begrudgingly (but privately, thankfully) she agrees to join the scions
>becomes an "older sister" figure to Alisae, encouraging her to blossom into a fully-fledged woman, as a counterpart to Estenien teaching Alphinaud how to be a man, which leads to:
>Yotsuyu and Estenien develop a sexually-charged banter relationship, where both sides pretend they don't care about the other (they care deeply)
>by Dawntrail's 7.0 questline end, there are hints that those two are up to something in private, hints that everyone except the Leveilleur Twins have long since caught up to.
You won't believe what I would give to make this a reality.
>shipping estinien with the venomous prostitute
Literally not her fault.
She deserved a second chance.
Didn’t elf bitch survive Shiva on multiple occasionally and only died by being blown the fuck up?
I’m not an Other Game refugee so it’s been years since I played HW though
Ysael believed herself to be Shiva, not only was it her follower's belief, but also her own that got her to safely assume the role and lose herself, because she really aww herself as Shiva.
We know this because it didn't work for Ryne at all, Ryne just lost herself.
Yotsuyu only ever did what her cunt of a brother blackmailed her to do as a suicide wish, she believes herself irredeemable and wanted a way out.
Ysayle also had the echo, which both tsuyu and ryne lacked
>Yotsuyu survives Tsukuyomi
Rejected, retard
Honestly, I'd have just had Yotsuyu live long enough for her and Gosetsu to talk one last time. Also, probably have had her disembowel Asahi, that little cunt deserved so much more excruciating suffering for his dipshittery.
She already fucking pierced him with like half a dozen spikes, dude couldn't have suffered that much more with what was at hand.
NTA but
>half a dozen spikes

She would have nothing to say to him, Yotsuyu literally thought herself irredeemable, but to make things worse she has full memories of her with him, and the problems she caused the old man.
Her shame would never allow her to speak to him, she'd rather pretend that she doesn't remember a thing and die. Lest she robs him of his cherished memories with "Tsuyu".

Of course, Sadu wouldn't accept anything but top position.
Good, your bloodline would be good for more than just getting plump on Buuz.

Only post in this thread if you play this game and can freely admit to never having Coomed, ERP'd, visited a Nightclub or ERP club.
I've coomed to all the hot XIV women and i'll do it again.
Even on a shithole like Ganker, I doubt you'll find many people that have actually gone off the deep end enough to have ERP'd, visited a Nightclub or ERP.
/vg/ on the other hand...
I have coomed relentlessly to the game, but not done any of all that ERP stuff.
Also, hi brother.
I went to an ERP for fun with friends and might have coomed
to an e-girl who plays FF14 but not her toon. I am weak for big brown femviera bunny butts
but not cooming yet.
>I am weak for big brown femviera bunny butts
Who isn't.
Me
I coom endlessly to bunny girls and c@s
3.7k hours and all I do is farming, memeing or chilling with fc. Trying to evade weirdos like the plague, even though sometimes i find amusing the live soap operas on limsa chat.
that would require talking to people, and my social anxiety is so bad that I used to immediately open the duty finder and hit leave as soon as something ended just to prevent seeing anything that could be criticism
I've coomed to XIV lewds, but that's it
can I stay?
I didn't do it with mods or anything but I gooned to glorious rabbit lasses.
This is however explicitly unfair, I was exposed to Do You Like Horny Bunnies one gorrilion years and it set me on the path.
No escape, only cute rabbit girls.
I never coomed or ERP'ed. I did vist a small nightclub run by a friend a few times. May I stay?
I exclusively fap to Y'shtola.
Remake the story with lots of party flash from yshtola, unwanted flashes from skirt pulls and pant tears that is. Add some panty tearing scenes with fully detailed crotch exposure and embarassment.

>ff14 is dying
near instant pvp queues and the fact that I'm still killing world bosses with a whole bunch of people disagree
no one gives a fuck that streamers leave and it's arguably a net positive. no one gives a fuck if some people take a break. in fact that's a good thing - there's like 5 major games that have come out/are coming out in a 60 day timespan. play something else for awhile. the biggest current issue is dc travel turning aether into the default pf datacenter.
Not to mention Oceania data center and Xbox version. These things are not cheap and the exactly opposite of what you do with a "dying" game.
>citing oceanic server as a positive
It was a very expensive way to get filthy australians off the japanese servers and into containment. It failed horribly because it turns out the aussies are smarter than a mouse being baited with cheese.
I'm seeing more Sprouts on my server than I have for over a year. No idea what Streamers are leaving staying or doing, seems not to matter. It's off peak for my server and around 5 mins maximum wait time for my dps que on roulette. Seems pretty good to me.
coping hard
I like femmyzens
The last time things were good in this game was in Heavensward, streamers and other gays diluted the playerbase and at this point I only pay my sub because I hope someone on the xiv team will take us back to unique jobs.
play rival wings with me
Current patch cycles are unacceptable.
there is no tangible difference between them and previous expansions' patch cycles save for a 2-week difference in length
so you're saying we're having the same level of quality as during the covid era, despite not having covid as an excuse anymore
and despite that, the patches still take longer than during the covid era
bravo

If Zero is still part of our story, part of the cast in 7.0 I'm going to do it, I swear I'm going to do it. I'm going to SKIP ALL THE CUTSCENES I swear and I fucking mean it.
I wonder if they'll waste a dawntrail space on tataru or zero. hmmm.
tataru is in, shes in the background in the trailer briefly.
where ?the boat? kek thats not her.
It is. Are you going to argue that it is some random unnamed lala npc that just happens to look and dress exactly like her?
WHERE DID SHE LEARN HOW TO STEER A BOAT WHEN SHE HIRED A GUY TO FLY THE AIRSHIP?
its fiction, is that really your main gripe? worse make believe shit happens literally every patch.
She owns an Island, of course she learnt how to pilot a boat plus Tataru has always been shown to be multitalented.
What the fuck is that cunt doing with all the cowries we are making for her?
Getting rich.

Delete endwalker, make a good expansion.
>If you could change anything about FFXIV, what would it be and why?
They should add a butt slider.
Zero's going to die.
Thank fuck if true
so many interesting ways to take this and we got that stupid slop in 6.4 and now were going back to alisaie and jullus? WHY ISNT RYNE ON THAT PATCH ART?

It's simple: destroy all waifufags. We will kill Y'shtola.

This is what I wanted, a fresh start and the chance to make new friends.
Unubros...Cylvabros...
I'm looking forward to Ryne more than anything else.
The whole gang are standing by, forever locked away.
all of these guys are cool except the catboy. pretty good make up of chads and twinks. add ryne and lyna and you got a good cast.
Even the Catboy has a redemption Arc. I hated him at first but came to tolerate him. I liked how a few of these guys agreed to work together and look out for each other instead of simply walking away solo after we'd completed their respective stories.
Dynamic wise i guess. 2 tanks, 2 shota casters 1 chad hunter and the catboy. i guess he could be the effete guy.
Cum in Giott.
the role quest gang here is at least equal to the scions in characterization, i wish we got anything more with them please god
>STILL no fucking leaks
>Unukalhai has been hiding his face from (You) for like 8years

It was so cool to me how Cylva is a 1.0 call back. I thought they'd completely forgotten her but gave her a story which they didn't have to do and could have forgot she existed.
Any anons running fight clubs in this thread?
I would like to purchase the gold sheep from you

Jannies earning those soft tacos
I have so many viera on my twitter I literally get rabbits now.
Yshtola stays dead and either Ysayle/Yuugiri joins the scion.
Anyone know who this guy is? He seem very upset somebody is reporting the trolls on the forums and getting them banned, and even got Customer Support to start a formal investgiation into the mod team there for not acting consistently.
All I know is he browses here clearly. He seems to be pleading for the guy to stop his "crusade". Considering how far it's escalated I don't think there is any getting off of this wild ride, Mr. Noumenon.
Wait I was in that thread, that user he's referring to has never even posted before, assuming it's that's the name of the account of that anon. How would he know if somebody who never posted before was banned or not unless he's a moderator? He's not a moderator is he?
Also isn't he essentially doxxing the guy?
A loser, that's who it is. Don't go to the official forums, save your sanity anon.

I've never played FF14, but I legitimately think the entire MMO part should just be stripped out completely. Literally 100% of all people who have ever installed the game, do it for the ERP. No one does it because they think the MMO gameplay content is legitimately fun or worthwhile, they do that shit to pass the time and to earn artificial access to outfits to roleplay with.
Just remove all of it. It's bad, it's not fun, it's stupid, and it's not good gameplay to begin with. Just leave the game as a sandbox for RP and you'll literally make way, way more money than you ever did selling a mediocre MMORPG.
lay off the drugs man they aren't good for you
>they do that shit to pass the time
same can be said about roleplaying
I am being completely serious that the only reason I ever got into RP was for ERP and I treated all RP as foreplay till the real reason people log in begins. RP is fucking boring and I had done it for awhile. Waiting 15 minutes for someone to write a post that isn't about them sucking cock is genuinely dull. Not even coomer brained btw, its just fucking dull and I'm tired of pretending it isn't.
>I've never played FF14
why lie
A completely serious comment, make it an M rated game. Kids don't play MMOs nor do they make money to pay for it. Secondly close all the player clubs and venues. I want to come across people fucking in cities and stables and alleyways again so I can join in. Everyone going to private places to fuck means I have to join discords and shit to get people to mask off about being horny sluts. Third swear to never ban anyone for modding.
Or just like make content that isn't token grinding for the last year and a half and make new gear sets. I'm very disappointed like the last two expansions every dungeon doesn't have a brand new unique gear set. They have the money and time.
The game is pandering too much to raidfags. Every mmo eventually does this and kills itself. I log in and see so many "Legends" because these are the only fags who still really want to play this game. Regular players are bored and leaving.
what to spend white crafter scrips on?
removing Y'shtola entirely and replacing her with a Mithra because any of them would be a superior character
>I strongly urge you to cease this hostile endeavour
UUUUMMMMMMMM ARE YOU GOING TO CEASE THIS HOSTILE ENDEAVOUR?!??
Fucking kill a main character already, Endwalker un-deathed more important characters than it killed, and it was literally the apocalypse.
Shitbringer villains won't stay dead and you expect a MC to die? LOL
>y'shtola death fakeout counter: 4
They're just going to conveniently forget that she's burning her lifespan to see in aethervision, aren't they?
>They're just going to conveniently forget that she's burning her lifespan to see in aethervision, aren't they?
Only the english version of XIV has that statement and even there its less dramatic than you pretend it is. All the times she is clearly exhausted from sharing her aether or other shit like that? Thats the effect of her aether leak.
The Japanese makes it less of a "candle that burns twice as bright" and more like her battery's going to run out more quickly because she's got more processes draining it, but it's still rechargeable.
Not that that latter interpretation means too much either since she's capable of way more than she was in ARR, but it does mean they get to write scenes where she's exhausted for plot reasons.
>MUH DEATH
>KILL SCIONS NAAAAOOOO
XIV has tge highest bodycount in the franchise safe for maybe FFII and you fags keep crying about it. The series clearly isnt for you. So either go play sonething else or have a nice day.

XIV doesn't deserve the bodycount reputation it used to have when said bodycount hasn't been relevant for 6 years.
i keep track of every middie they've killed in the msq and you are 2 short
Edda and Yotsuyu?
i don't think edda's death was part of the msq, it was a sidequest hard dungeon wasn't it?
Depends, the tank's death is part of MSQ because they're npcs outside of the story dungeons.
Edda's story is really depressing when you realize she's only 16.
>Avere was 19
>getting married at 16
it was god's punishment
Tesleen shouldn't count as a character because we knew her for all of 5 minutes.
I ORDERED YOU TO CEASE THIS HOSTILE ENDEAVER, Ganker
I really feel like every fucking place that tries to have a club should just stop. No one goes to that shit. No one goes to most public venues. RP in the city. I'm begging you RP anywhere that isn't the quicksands. Do literally anything with the game space. I will take a fucking night market in Limsa.
CEASE
THIS HOSTILE ENDEAVOR
RIGHT
NOW

Not surprised. Summer 2021 and its consequences have been a disaster for the Final Fantasy XIV community.
Cease your hostile endeavours or it's off to the penis explosion chamber.

means its past your bedtime lil guy
I mean they've barely made any content this year. Even the artifact weapons was just tomestone grinding. Nothing unique compared to every other weapon. Like you do this for your usual weekly weapon. I think FF16 development slowed the team down and they ended up neglecting a lot of the game.
I actually miss this air headed bimbo, I don't know why square demoted her to a side character.
I like Lyse and I like that she left. It shows she actually has a life and goal beyond being a selfless hero for no real reason unlike the other scions. Thancred is my favorite Scion, but I wish he killed Ranjit, was injured and retired on the First somehow.
>inb4 someone says that's not possible but is okay with the shit writing to make Graha a Scion
