FFXIV doesnt have a very high playerbase. 25-30k daily on steam might seem high to some, especially since the launcher without steam exists. However just comparing it to another game shows that its still actually very little
Take Path of Exile for example. This game is considered very niche and yet every 4 months it hits 150k-200k players on steam and has a high player count until 2-3 months into the season. This game also has a launcher outside of steam just like FFXIV so the playercount is also much higher every new season
FFXIV never even hit 100k on steam and yet XIV is considered massively popular here while PoE was always considered extremely niche
that means that FFXIV is struggling to even get even half of path of exiles playerbase every 2.5 years an expansion comes out
XIV might seem popular due to a very vocal loud minority, but a mentally ill fanbase doesnt create a popular game
Therefore XIV was always extremely niche. Its clear as day when not even yoshee peepee could get his fanbase to buy FFXVI and as a result it became the lowest selling mainline FF in history. Its fricking over XIV sisters…

never insult barry’s genius insults again. His insults hit so deep that /vg/ still thinks he’s around haunting them in their threads
What's next for him (besides crying like a b***h on stream) ?
Genuinely wish we got live WoW and FFXIV numbers. I guarantee including classic WoW probably has 2-3 million per month and FFXIV is something below 200k
WoWChads we fricking WON
does anyone find the new ffxiv shitposting cathartic after the massive spam back in ShB/early EW days?
No because it's the same frickers that spam steam charts and bear sex and palworld shit.
yes specially after the xiv cultist kept saying xvi was going to be best ff ever and that it was going to sell billions.
It's a mmorpg with millions of players.
It's on 5 platforms and has it's only PC launcher separate from Steam. Steam's current playing numbers isn't all of the current players on PC let alone altogether.
That's like saying GTAV is a niche game because millions of people aren't playing it on Pc right now.
are you autistic
Anon, this is a recycled shitpost thread.
>WELL…IT HAS MILLIONS OF PLAYERS
Why cant it beat niche games like Path of Exile then?
>IT HAS A LAUNCHER AND…IS ON CONSOLES
So is Path of Exile. Guess that doesnt count huh?
Why cant it beat a niche game?
Path is free newer and can be enjoyed for 90% of it's content solo.
Path's launcher can't be used outside of steam. Unlike FFXIV.
Also Path Ain't niche. It's widely considered the better Diablo.
a quick google will literally show that steam numbers dont account path of exiles client numbers
>poe isnt niche
nobody knows what poe is besides a hardcore group of old diablo fans
And nobody gives a shit about diablo besides diablo fans.
Your point?
that XIV is losing hard against a game that is considered very niche despite the years of XIVgays acting like its a massive game full of millions of players like
are you moronic?
>no argument
FFXIV players actively discourage newbies from playing on steam and look down on the ones that do, simple because once you buy the game on steam you are stuck buying it on steam forever, if you want to switch to the normal version you'll have to buy the whole game again.
It's also well known that the majority of japanese players (the target audience) just play on PS4
It doesn't have millions of players kek
shhhhhhhhhh
let the yoshit troons think they are the biggest and bestest game ever because…there was a Ganker ad made by them that said they were
Final Fantasy XIV doesn't have many players
>BUT MOST PEOPLE ONLY USE THE SQUARE LAUNCHER
Okay, but even with that there still aren't that many people playing
>NO NO ITS MAINLY A CONSOLE MMO
Alright.. but even if we count that it still takes me 30 mins to queue for a trial on a Sunday afternoon
>NOOOOO ITS BECAUSE EVERYONE IS UNSUBBED FOR THE CONTENT DROUGHT
Hmm so there's no one playing it then?
>NOOO HGNNNNGGG STOP IT STOP IT MY COMFY FFXIV THREADSA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Sincerely consider separating your life from a generic lame MMO.
>Final Fantasy XIV doesn't have many players
50 some odd million registered users seems like quite a lot for a "niche" game.
>BUT MOST PEOPLE ONLY USE THE SQUARE LAUNCHER
Never stated such things. Just saying steam numbers do not account for all PC numbers let alone all platform numbers.
>all this other bullshit
You enjoy putting words in people's mouths when you don't have a leg to stand on?
50 million accounts and yet it struggles to hit 100k on steam and beat a niche game like Path of exile
>NOOOOO BUT TRUST THE STAT THERES MILLIONS RIGHT NOW
Then why cant an expansion launch come anywhere close to a path of exile despite it being a cheap niche diablo clone?
path if exile season*
Season's in PoE are like 4 new skills. One new mechanics that is effectively a reworking of an existing mechanic and keeps people tied over for 4-6 months while they do the same thing again.
They aren't "Expansions". They are effectively the same shit FFXIV pulls post expansion with update. Except the stuff to earn during those updates in FFXIV isn't time and game type gated like PoE. Also again. Free game is free.
what point are you making moron?
If anything, a season launch BTFOing a XIV expansion launch every 4 months just shows that people would rather play a game with seasonal updates that has a few small things than buy a XIV expansion
XIV cant even beat a niche game. Pathetic
FFXIV Endwalker came out 3 years ago anon. The PoE Affliction season came out 2 months ago. The next FFXIV Expansion is still roughly 3-4 months out.
>50 some odd million registered users
do they count the bot accounts on the free trial in that number?
>Hmm so there's no one playing it then?
Anon, you have to be a zoomer to argue this point. MMO's have been like this since Everquest2. You play (actually play and not second life shit) game, you complete all good content, you move to another MMO while you wait for a new update.
This logic also applies to every single game.
>THATS NOT TRUE
Well yeah, there are games that have "infinite" procedural generated content. You will eventually get bored at certain point, take a break and play something else until you feel like playing it again
anon this is a bait thread because they're bored of their general
I can't believe people haven't picked up that it's /vg/ trannies doomposting for lulz most of the time.
WoW has zero players on steam. Literally dead game.
It's also on Xbox now, it's fricking over WoWsisters... we actually lost..
Hm, kinda wanna play XI but I still got plenty to do in XIV.
Krile wife best life
It's an MMO. By definition at this point, niche. All MMOs are. Singling out 14 like it's unique to it is stupid.
The height of MMOs died a long time ago, now it's merely successful enough to keep running and help operations. Not "company-changing" profits.

>another wowtroon seethe thread

why does ffxiv fans always get triggered over obvious shitposts?
its only really half a shitpost cause half of it is true
the truth goes against their god yoshee peepeeeeee so they hate it
why are you responding to yourself?
Meanwhile, in reality.
WoW is 2 decades old and has been hated by fans for the last 4 expansions. I wouldn't consider any favorable comparison that FF14 may have to be a barometer for success.
if only you knew...

When XIV gays cant disprove the fact that they fail to beat a niche game, they deflect to their barry and wow boogeymen despite nobody here being any of them
theyve really been mindbroken by the fall and decline of XIV huh?
blizzgays trying to deflect from people laughing at them over some 65 dollar horse dlc
Dude, you don't need to pretend to be both a wowgay and a xivgay arguing with yourself every 10-12 minutes just because nobody cares to engage with your thread. It's very weird.
Is this what WoW players do after their 2 days of content runs out?
>4 out of the 3 last posts are XIV trannies obsessing about WoW
this thread didnt even compare XIV to WoW and yet that game STILL lives rent free in their heads, even when there isnt a wowgay in site kek
>tfw the Diadem grind is actually semi close to being done
I can't believe I've wasted so much time on this shit

Just shows how easy it is to ignore any post made with that image.
>launcher and console
>when it was mentioned that PoE is on console and has a client that people use that steam numbers doesnt count just like with XIV
XIV trannies everyone
What's the biggest bait you've ever responded to?
tl;dr
Why are these threads so fricking bad?
no one takes xiv doomthreads serious anymore
so they turn into regular xiv threads instead
the only people who even give enough of a frick about the game to make them or post in them are the attention whoring lalas who treat them like a chat room and the doomtrannies
actual xiv threads get trashed
so the only way to get through is to make doom threads.

Nothing for a while
What's been your most hated fish?
Right now those two are on my mind. I've been to a lot of of Hypha windows and had awful luck with it. Sidereal is the final boss, I think it's probably the hardest fish in the game with basically every form of difficulty going for it.
Regarding past big fishing, I had pretty good luck with most of the difficult ones (salad, cinder, lancet, ruby, etc). I had a lot of trouble with Henodus Grandis, a tortoise in Kholusia. It's nothing special but it just evaded me for dozens of windows and was one of the last ShB fish I caught. So that might be my most hated.
Yeah, Whale sucks. I went like 4 windows in a row where I got a Phal during the Whale window, then twice now where I jailed myself for 3 windows and didn't catch jack shit.
Henodus is probably my least favorite too, with another !!! bite that can cuck you just when you finally thought you caught it.
3 more zodiac books for my spear, that's what i'm doing.
Have you got Zodiac Buddy and Sonar on, lad? Makes books way quicker and easier.
no lul, am a noob, idk what that is.
Both are Dalamud plugins available through the XIV quick-launcher, Zodiac Buddy keeps track of your shit and lets you easily teleport to where mobs and FATEs are, and Sonar is a FATE/hunt tracking program that alerts you if a certain FATE/hunt is up. Sonar can also be set to track FATEs/hunts across the whole datacenter.

I legit have no idea why you people cope in such unhealthy ways over your own failures in life like this.
Like how you're coping with your own failed life and endocrine system destroyed by HRT supplements by pretending a millionaire is your friend?
Please stop projecting your own troony insecurities onto people it is disgusting and disturbing.
I hope he sees this and deposits some crysta into your account "sis".

Barry thread
i've been tired of XIV this expac, had a lot more fun in shadowbringers. i barely log in anymore. but even then, i'd never play another mmorpg right now because they're all worse. so right now i'm basically not playing any until DT drops, and i sure as shit ain't ever going back to WoW unless its vanilla private servers.
>i barely log in anymore.
>dont enjoy game
>still subbed
Why are mmorpg players mentally ill?
i still log in to do casual farming with my friends every week, which i do enjoy. but it could be a lot better.
nice try tho.
>Just get on the 4 free days for returners
>Do MSQ
>Wuk's dialog as written and actions are nice
>Voice is grating and unpleasant
I don't mod this game. But if someone has a mod that gives her a good voice I'll consider it. Consider this a request.
Anyone have a mod like that?
No, it's possible to make one but it's extremely tedious.
Wouldn't AI be a good solution?
I thought Ganker was just blowing shit out of proportion and complaining because they always complain
But this is just kinda bad
I don't know anything about AI so I have no idea. The method I know of would be to use the vfxedit plugin, start going through the voice files one by one, and swap them out with the JP or FR language files. The files all have the same path and number but with a "_en" or "_jp" suffix so once you have one of her lines it's an easy swap. It's just tedious to manually go through each line one by one. Here's an example file path for Eulogia:
>sound/voice/vo_line/8204406_en.scd
If you just change the number one by one, you'll progress through each voice line in the order they were added.
I wish it was a niche game, was far better when it still was, it's now pandering to idiotic mainstream sub humans like western games are, all the soul is gone
get the feeling we're gonna keep losing soul. at this point it just seems like the natural lifespan of mmorpgs to get easier overtime, and for every class to lose its identity as too many things are removed and reworked for ease of use and 'balance'. the only good time to play an mmorpg seems to be when it releases.
That's most things sadly, even Elden Ring was ruined
This is an interesting new doomposter angle.
Not really.
It's time to marry Yugiri
Only reason I'm still subbed is to test mods, jerk off and to not lose my house, if DT is as bad as EW I'm gone
same. if the media tour doesn't impress me i'm gonna tell my raid buddies to find a new tank.
I've been waiting for a new mmo to steal my attention away from XIV.
Had my hopes up for Blue Protocol, but got amazon'd
are you me? i also was hoping BP would the next game for me, but after playing on JP servers for a while it's really not great at all, and then Amazon picked it up. if DT's terrible i'm just leaving the mmorpg scene, because as not great as XIV is right now it's still better than its competition.
I don't thing DT will be terrible, at least storywise.
And the current formula works for me since I'm a fricking casual. I don't see myself quitting anytime soon.
The RIOT mmo is dead. WoW will never be above mediocre again. And the other mmos are pure vaporware.
with everything promised DT is gonna be stormblood 2, and stormblood was the fricking best expansion for post-release content
I just want it to be better than EW.
In what regard?
stuff to do mainly. the lack of a grind zone like bozja or eureka wasn't great, and the relic grind was nonexistent this time. those two are usually huge chunks of content to do between patches and without them all i was doing was weekly savage and extremes. also i don't want them to dumb down the combat again but i know they will. either DoTs or positionals are on the chopping block i bet.
i don't see that changing tbh
they want you to play like 2 months per patch and then frick off
that's what I did. did all I wanted, unsubbed, played other games, resumed drawing, etc
>2 months per patch
Try 6 hours
if you only do msq and the normal raids, sure
i'm usually kept extremely busy all the way up until X.3 since i grind out all combat jobs to max level and have EX trials and shit to do until that point, then by that time in shadowbringers i had bozja to chip at and didn't end up really tapping out until 5.4 or early 5.5 and waited until endwalker released
since 6.57 released if it holds to shadowbringers' release schedule i'm gonna get dawntrail this time in maybe the last week of june or first weeks of july so i'm gucci
You should still be cautiously optimistic, but things are looking up.
I'm fully expecting them to casualize them to shit with only the savage versions being slightly interesting, I understand why they do it, because japs do everything, but westerners only scrape the surface of content which force people who want to do them to join discords and shit, I wish they would just make normal interesting instead, but they only care about japs
>new foray
>it doesnt play eureka or bozja
>its more classic FF based, your equipment matters greatly, you need to buy skills/magic in shops, and you can increase stats like autoattack speed, equipment selection and available magic tiers with level ups or upgrades
would you play it?
yes, but only if once you enter the map the graphics go either early PS2 FFXI style or straight up HD pixel art like Octopath Traveler 2
not him but EW has so little to do to stand on its own for post-game that i've broken down and started leveling up all of my crafters and gatherers after ignoring them since i started playing in stormblood
normally i spend my time between expansions either grinding treasure maps or hanging out in the exploratory zone but i've only got the maps this time. island sanctuary ain't cutting it, that's gathering but even more tedious, may as well level my actual gatherers
I dont really trust DT to be any different. Already lost my house because post msq in EW was way too shit
I own one of the best plot of the game, I would have gave it away a long time ago otherwise, I don't want to see any shb zoomer steal it while i'm still around
I love FF, I love MMOS, but FFXIV is destined to die due to how fricking repetitive it is. There's been zero significant changes or expansion to how the main game plays, if anything it gets dumbed down even more over the years when it was already as basic b***h as it gets for an mmo (zero build diversity etc). The only people still playing are newbies, pedophiles and autistic cripples who use the game as a substitute for a social life.
So what have you accomplished in game today?
I've almost got a full stack of Moogle Tomes which is like 800 more than I've ever had in previous ones.

It's niche now but pre wow release those numbers are good. Dark age was about 3k per server and EverQuest I think was similar every evening. Eve online at launch was around 30kish I think on one which was amazing at the time in 2002. 2004 wow kinda blew things up with massive servers and lack of service for about a year after launch 20 to 30k I think per server and lots of them. Everyone started to chase those peak numbers and never got close ever. Lotro was similar to ff14 I wanna say back in 2007 about 10 12k per server active nightly. Ff14 seems quite DED though in the last few years when I was trying it. Zones empty just some reps here and there. Guild activity was dire even compared to lotro and past mmos.
i pity those individuals who are caught up in false dichotomies
those poking and prodding them are worse

The problem here is that idiots conflate popularity with how good a game is, and that's never been the case, especially with MMOs. I don't know if I've ever heard anyone say FFXIV was popular in my life, but I have heard a lot of people talk about how good of a game it is. I'm guessing the reason it's not popular is because it's got a fair bit of depth to the storytelling, where every WoW player I know basically skips through anything that isn't a cutscene so they can get to grinding endgame content faster.
Why are you comparing 25-30k on steam right now during the biggest content lull until the new expansion, to PoE (a completely f2p game that isn't even in the same genre) right after a new season? This isn't even attempting to have parity of argument.
And no one that plays XIV cares if XIV is popular. As long as it makes enough money to keep the game going at its pace, we're happy with that. The quality of the game actually goes DOWN when the game is more popular (see EW launch login issues, the wow mass exodus streamer spree, etc.)

My favorite anti-FF14 shitposter is the guy who constantly complains that the story doesn’t live up to whatever fiction books he reads, since I was one of the people who shilled hard for FF14’s amazing story knowing full well that 90% of the reason the story worked so well for me is because of my overactive imagination & astronomic IQ level.
I knew that for the average simpleton, FF14’s story would be a tedious slog with blatant filler & cringeworthy anime tropes. It pleases me that I wasted hours of your life watching your poorly conceptualized Warrior of Cringe when you’ll never be able to enjoy the story the same way I did with a high IQ head anon based on years of consuming patrician media and renowned world literature.
Probably not who you're thinking of, but I liked the story until shb, 1.0 to sb were closer to Matsuno's where shb and ew are more like the rest of the series, i vastly prefer political intrigues, whether good or bad to whatever xiv is now
>sb
Can you explain what you liked about the story? I only liked the patches and I genuinely don't get what people liked about 4.0 msq
Some people say its messy on purpose because its le war
But it just feels messy because its poorly paced to me. Also there are barely endearing/ interesting characters in the 4.0 msq.
Not much beside the world building, finally going to ala mhigo and doma, I don't like going to other worlds, i like expending on the current one, they've been around since forever while shbs zones were new and came out of nowhere, it just felt like they were pandering to different people than the ones who've grown to like Hydaelyn (now Etheirys or whatever)
Etheirys is the shittiest name for a FF world. It's so generic.

what do we do to make materia more interesting without trading one problem for the same problem under a different name?
One more to the filter.
We had more personal customization in the past as I'm sure you remember
Tanks were melding STR however...and then there as Piety break points on BLM...uh...yeah
I don't think the devs will ever want to balance like that again...and the new audience would hate it
I would say trait boosts and ability modifiers but the game is too rigid for that[ spoiler]Stranger of Paradise is clouding my ideas, such a good game[/spoiler]
This lala has a benis I think
guess again

SHOW ASS
but there is only a pastie on the front :3
good, show it

I don't play with lalafells, they are trouble makers and can't function on patch day (they are all cheaters)
show ass PLEASE
anyone doing duels in bozja?
Doing or do you meaning spawning them?
>niche
No, the problem is it WAS niche game homogenized for normalgays. Now its just a shit game.
To keep it vidya related, what kind of games do you play? And sorry, man. Do what you gotta do to get through the grief. I had to have my old orange cat put down in June. His health issues just became overwhelming and it was obvious he was in pain. Digging his grave and making a headstone helped a bit with the grieving process. That and a lot of whiskey.
Sorry for your loss. I lost my siamese a few years back. I miss him very much.
maybe. if i can make her look more doll like i may do so with a fantasia
oh no... anyways, almost finishing post ARR and starting heavensward, what's the best way to grind fast Dark Knight to play with it in the story? Palace of the Dead?
potd is only fastest if there's no queues and you get 15 minute or better 51-60 clears. otherwise, hit the dungeons
Dungeons are fastest for tanks, queues don't exist. Palace doesn't make sense anymore with the playercounts since late Stormblood making even DPS queues trivial.

Shut up NERD
WoW won.... FRICK
WoW won the "jerking off muscular men and guzzling their semen" contest lmfao
>lmfao
Why are you seething so loudly right now? You mad that your japslop is dead? Lol. Theres a reason why people call it slop.
and yet WoW is still losing to RuneScape... Jesus
How is Eureka Orthos compared to PotD/HoH when it comes to getting a clear? My group and I have cleared PotD/HoH multiple times and are gonna start EO soon.
imo its actually the hardest of the 3 to do with a 4 man group. EO is designed with soloing in mind moreso than the others, so one frick up will have consequences. goes up a lot the more people involved
the only reason ffxiv ever got popular was because of asmongold. literally nobody played it prior to him giving it free marketing. just a little fyi. its like saying people knew who the twitch streamer was before fortnite. lmao.
twitch streamer ninja**
and he also killed wow
thank you asmon
CohhCarnage started trying 14 before Asmongold, and Cohh tends to have a lot of people into RPGs and shit follow him
>CohhCarnage
yeah because this 60 year old boomer apparently has influence on MMO popularity.. LOL
>an mmo RPG
>has a big RPG following
moron-kun...
Reminder that XIV is so shit that Asmon had to kill his mom just so he could make an excuse to stop playing it.
sounded like he just wanted his mom dead anyways tbh
reminder that ion killed asmon's mom cause he started playing xiv
>preach left wow to play xiv
>shortly thereafter he contracted covid, his dog died, and his wife got sent to the hospital
>asmon: "frick dood i dont want to play this shitty weeb game anymore but the chat and subreddit are never gonna let me hear the end of it if i just stop playing. what do I do?"
>mama asmon hollering from downstairs: "ZZZZAAAAACCCCCKKKKK!!!!"
>asmon: >:)
>XIV sisters
I hate biggers so much it's insane
>Path of Exile for example. This game is considered very niche
Stopped reading there.
MMOs literally live and die on their playerbase, that's why pros and antis for whatever mmo fanbase are so obsessed with playercount.
Judging from my personal experience and friend group, FF14 is deader than WoW. Everyone in my friend group except myself played WoW at some point and now only 1 person is still regularly playing it. Everyone in my friend group tried to play FF14 fir the first time -at the same time- and EVERYONE dropped it.
"MMO" single player visual novel is actually a niche genre. The game might as well have bots for dungeons with how much you can interact with other players -even when you're trying to-.
The MSQ is an absolutely HORRID experience for multiplayer. Who is the absolute moronic who would design a massively -multiplayer- game only to force you to quit your party regularly through progression?
tl;dr?
good evening i hate women
I'm not used to intentionally failing fishing casts, this is rankling my autism
lalagays getting uppity
i only care about eating lala ass (male or female)
Suppose I have one day of subscription left, when does the game kick me out? At 00:01 AM? Or does it kick me at the same time I renewed my sub, say 8:30 pm of that day?
When the sub was renewed.
t. had someone disconnect in the middle of maps because their sub ran out.
she's in the spot where the antagonist usually sits in these. and we had just had a fantastic female villain in athena so maybe it'll work out. and that altima sigil looks plausible. maybe its all just bait. but i've already killed a marine biologist, an astronomer, etc. why not an ancient artist
besides which, everyone knows there's going to be a Tesleen/Nidhana minor character thats a brown catgirl that everyone is gonna be making conquistador memes and fanart about and will be receiving the hope and prayer that Wuk Lamat probably should be

I like in a godforsaken third world country where people make less than $200 a month and I still know multiple people irl who play it. And I never go out of my way and ask about it.

Fricking why
they're exclusively gained from coin shops and quest rewards
It's not like they're frickin tome gear, I should be able to buy this shit with gil dammit.
they're sold for cowries. you have your island up and running right?
Of course not, I refuse to engage with content that fricking shit
its an unmatched source of materia and other things for crafters
FFXI is the better game
janny nuke this dogshit thread already
so, did you win your house lotto? i didn't. course i was one of about 90. and i was only doing it for lulz
I'm from a better time
yeah, you tell that lala!
dead games don't have dedicated shitposters who are up seemingly 24/7 to ensure everyone knows they're dead
i'm not gonna say touch grass or go seek therapy or tell you to imbibe medication, but you should respect yourself more than this. it does not matter that other people like a game you don't

lmoa wowgays. Sunk cost fallacy is a b***h, huh?
xv made more money than ff14 did in 5 years
hell the entire mmo sector of fy2016, fy2015, fy 2014 and fy2013 combined made less than HD games sector of FY 2017 alone
MMO FY 2016 (Apr 2015 - March 2016) = 31.6 - DQ10 and FF14 expansion pack released
MMO FY 2015 (Apr 2014 - March 2015) = 23.6 - FF14 PS4 and DQ10 3DS launched
MMO FY 2014 (Apr 2013 - March 2014) = 20.0 - FF14 ARR launched and DQ10 expansion pack released
MMO FY 2013 (Apr 2012 - March 2013) = 11.1 - DQ10 launched
Look at just FY 2017 for HD games
HD FY 2017 (Apr 2016 - March 2017) = 92.8 - FFXV launched
MMO lost
yea but flopspoken didn't have hitstop and ended up killing luminous so xv ultimately lost.
Movement around the world feels super janky and outdated. Characters sliding around while doing abilities is really stupid looking.
the open world zones are immediately boring once the quests are completed in them, there is no reason for them to exist after you finish the story there
the game has a ton of stuff to do except all of it is interacting with the shitty interface controls and dragging items around
the msq is way too long, i liked the story but honestly its so obnoxiously long i cant imagine being a new player
>Hermes bad
>"Why"
>Because the story said so
>Venat good

>Because the story said so
Hermes bad because he was acting independently under his own beliefs
Venat good because everything she did was just sucking your wiener believing you would fix everything
Kill both trancers and mommygays, the mc worships is this game biggest issue
haven't been subscribed in a while. used the 4-day free subscription promo to catch up on a few patches and i have definitely not been impressed
MSQ garbage, in theory I should find Zero cool/hot but the plot surrounding her is the most predictable saccharine bullshit
Alliance raids sucked past the first one, weak in every way I can think.of (glam/mechanics/plot/music)
Normal raids sort of okay but the Elidibus wank was awful
From the one variant dungeon I've done I like the idea but spamming them out in repeat gets really boring
Tried island sanctuary earlier, I couldn't stand it which says a lot seeing as I play Runescape a bunch
Hildibrand's been alright and maybe the extremes/criterions/savages/ultimates would have been good if I had the time to focus on them instead of just clicking on quests all day but really glad I've been unsubbed for most of this expansion. Probably not going to buy the next one until it goes on sale for <$10 bucks.
No critiques, I'm a cultist
I love the game. It's not perfect, but at least it isn't 99% of the mmo garbage out there
>1 month since the female hrothgar reveal
>Zero impact in the furry community with only 2 pics of Wuk Lamat with one being totally off model character and the other is she eating a moogle.
Wasting resources on a race nobody will play for god's sake
Always start by pulling 2 packs minimum for ARR and wall-to-wall everywhere else in the expansions except maybe the dungeons listed below when you first go into them with crap gear. In fact, you could even get away wall-to-walling on most of ARR even with trash gear if your healer is not a prissy frick who turns their nose at GCD casting heals, because on early levels the tank is the only one with AoE and the brunt of the damage will come from you anyway.
Roll your cooldowns. USE your cooldowns. Rampart + Arms Length for starting ARR dungeons, later on do your 30% mitigation [plus maybe Arm's Length when a pull is spicy], then as that decays Rampart +either Arm's Length or a tank-specific cooldown like Paladin's Sheltron, then after THAT decays stuff like Reprisal + whatever the frick else you have available because by that point you should have every enemy dead and if you don't it's the DPS' fault.
As a continuation of the previous point, your invulnerability IS a cooldown that you SHOULD also use. Don't treat it like a failure condition, it's an asset, being invincible is fun, and you SHOULD use the fricking button, preferably either at the very start of the dungeon [so you can squeeze another invul by the end], or, if you know there's a super dangerous pull at some point, you could save it for that.
Stone Vigil will hurt a lot
Aurum Vale, you have to run all the way along the left wall into the boss arena and park on the inside of it to fight the mobs to prevent it from turning into a shitshow, and that start will also hurt a lot.
Bardam's Mettle will hurt a lot.
Holminster WILL HURT A FRICKING LOT.
GULG WILL HURT A FRICKING LOT.
Congratulations, you're already better than most tanks.
Lads, I have started to fish.
You have embarked on the greatest autism journey available in this game

Thank you coming to my TEDtalk on how to do loose stuff with a potato.
however many years it's been since somebody made vaporwave funky kong calling me a moron and it still makes me clap my inbred dolphin flippers together in glee
The game has the same fricking mechanics since even before ARR. The expansion feels like just some new maps and bosses. And plus the maps unlike WOW is very plain and devoid of players.
remember that part in endwalker where the garlean NPC says that the emperor speaks to her through radios and then the camera slowly zooms in on a radio playing some weird-ass music? I liked that part. it was kind of schizopilled. more schizo shit in dawntrailer please (there will not be more schizo shit in dawntrial)
You will never be a real job
You have no Limit Break, no level cap, no synergy
You're a half-assed job twisted into uselessness and a crude mockery of what the devs can do
All the validation you get is two-faced and half-hearted
Your FC is disgusted and ashamed of you, your friends laugh at your limited status behind closed doors
Duty Finder is utterly repulsed by you. A decade of game design has allowed real jobs to flourish.
Even BLUs who raid are abandoned and shelved afterwards.
Your capabilities are mediocre and <resisted>
Even if you get a run to happen, once the clear happens everyone will turn tail and bolt the moment they get a whiff of your limited status and copy paste spells
I don't care, pictoGODS killed the jirenchad. As a Corgay I am legally obligated to buy DT.
I don't care, I enjoy it, don't give a shit normies or wowies left the bandwagon, in fact, I'm better off without them, finally the peaceful ARR days will return.

FFXIV has its own launcher. I don't know a single person that plays it on Steam.

If Yoshi Piss would hurry up and outright ban mods and modders the game's population would improve dramatically.

>what's left of cheating pvp Black folk would 41%
One simple fix that is already in the ToS would eliminate the most insufferable parts of the playerbase. Keep cranking those numbers Bozo, we're shooting for 100% by the end of this year.
I'm 100% on board with this if they also fix their dogshit netcode that won't let me double weave

YoshiP is a typical cutthroat Jap suit who is a fricking psychopath that managed to win over drooling masses of moronic FFtrannies with some simple """""humble""""" words. He's no different than your average suit except he managed to cultivate an image of being humble and being friendly with the community when in reality, it was all riding off the coattails of actual great people like Tanaka. You have to remember that this is a COMMON mindset of all Japanese bugmen, all two faced frickers who will lie, cheat and backstab you at a moment's notice. Look at even how he's making excuses for the supposed server queues by pinning it on the booming number of players, it's clear that they're too incompetent and lazy to even fix this simple issue.
Mark my fricking words, when the next expansion comes out and they reach their highest numbers ever, that's when YoshiP and his posse of bootlickers like Soken will start fricking everyone over and all that "community" pandering will be apparent to everyone that it was a cheap attempt to win people over. This is the way Japs and other bugmen have always acted, they will suck FFXIV and all the braindead players dry and FFtrannies will wonder how they could have believed such obvious lies.
I'm going to love the day this game fails and it's going to be fricking soon

Most people don't play on Steam. Only until a few years back were there issues with legality and signing up for an SE account, and Steam exacerbated that problem.
It's easier to sign up now and the game probably has picked up more players on Steam since then, but the wow player migration was initially met with several instances of people having issues signing up for the game because of SE's excessively dated and strict verification systems when signing up for XIV, and it took having a massively popular MMO streamer calling them morons before they revamped the sign up system.
