Why did they do it? Surely they must have known that this would create a theme park mmo where everyone just sits idling in cities waiting for their next instance 100% of the time and the world is just a superficial visual thing that doesn't matter.

            Nah, though I don't think it looks 'great' either. It's just a bit bland, likely because you can only make so many kinds of armor without it blending together.
            I think they're going for some kind of Hydaeln and Zodiark theme with the colors but it isn't really enough to make it snazzy.

        You can criticize the overuse of scale mail, but Radiant being from the place that harvests dragon scales makes sense.
        But the new set has nothing in common with the radiant, not colors, not textures, not even the healing robes.

              I unironically tried doing this for a while until I realized it's boring and pointless because the zones are all empty and you never encounter anyone except people doing quests on their own and then never coming back to that zone again. The game simply wasn't designed for human interaction.

            There's no issue. Tho in FFXI the first walk you do anywhere is dangerous. Maybe not that much in retail but still. In FFXIV anywhere you go you destroy everything in your path and the only way you die is if you afk in front of a monster for like a minute straight.

        I remember playing FFXI for a month when I was a kid and never even making more than a couple zones away from my starting city. The world felt genuinely dangerous and difficult to explore. I wish I had stuck with it longer because it probably would have been an amazing game to play, but I didn't have the money to pay for a subscription and my parents didn't want to pay for it either. Nowadays it's probably impossible to recreate that feeling and that player base community again even if the game still exists.

      It's not really about just walking but about having adventures going to places and world design.

      I'd say breath of the wild is an immensely boring game, but going places in that game is kind of an adventure on its own.
      Of course we're not asking to have a massive open world like that, even though that would be cool.

      With MMORPGs you could do so much more than just gliding around and climbing and riding mounts. Using the lore of Final fantasy most of all, you can find a near infinite amount of stupid bullshit to explain why your ninja has infinite dashes or why the Warrior can knock down walls or why the Dark Knight can use his shadow to go to teleport a short distance.

      But of course, Final fantasy XIV is not an MMO and not an RPG, so we can't have these things.

      You get shitty WoW instances without the combat that makes WoW fun.

        the problem there wouldn’t be the fact that you have to travel a bunch the problem would be that the travel is completely pointless and uninteresting
        why make me run halfway across the world and back for a couple lines of dialogue when the cutscene could just fade to black, show me there, fade to black and show me back here again
        the entire ffxiv msq outside of the brief dungeon and trial moments could literally just be a nonstop cutscene and nothing of value would be lost, that’s how you know the actual physical world is absolute garbage

                The pauldrons look exactly the same, even the cape
                >That is not an npc
                that is a npc, this is a solo instance

                That is Durante
                That is the dungeon which involves a flashback portion. The other character is Golbez and the chest piece is the only part that is part of the Tank Judge set.

                They never use pvp seasonal armor rewards for npcs. And still haven't.

                The goal is the same, the original anon was also referring to the new series armor reward (which no npc will ever use), not the modern goyslop shit.

      isn't that the current tier of crafted gear, with the weapons being the ones from ktisis hyperborea?

        the weapons are all also the current crafted weapons. They reused the Ktisis models. In the same expansion.

        You can't make this shit up.

    They put all the important shit in big cities (and ONLY in big cities, ie: no company chest in Foundation or glamour chests in fc/private estates) to force people to congregate so it looks busier.

    Now cities are a fricking garbage dump. I use a mod to just to fricking hide the 200 dancing lalafells and half-naked catgirls.

    I never use full helmets because I can't see my character's face in cutscenes. I think it's the same for many other people, so SE stopped making those. I'd like some hats or helmets with open faces though

    I know most people are just here to shitpost, but I just noticed that the crystals used to record and save concepts is the same crystal as the memoria.
    May have already been talked about, but I thought it was neat that different shards may have different pieces of ancient's abilities.

    While I haven't played this game for years, and while how terrible the 1.x experience was, I truly miss sometimes the chat spam of Ul'Dah when it was the 'central hub' of 1.x due to Hamlet, Ifrit and Garuda...
    2.0 everyone was in Mor Dhona and when Titan EX was the current progress, now THAT was fun times to shit post on /shout , the only other time we had that much fun was East Limsa due to Coil entrances and eventually Diadem (or w/e it was called before Bozja).

    I really do hate instancing still. Shit is soulless just like Starfield, the obnoxious adventuring is what makes half the fun and the stories you tell later...

      thing is it's the most mentally ill people in the game doing the chatting
