        I’m not touching rebirth until it comes to PC. I don’t have a PS5 and I’m not going to pay $500 just to play 1 game early. The fact that third party game companies are still pushing out console exclusives in 2024 is beyond stupid.

            Yeah I know why they do it, but from a business standpoint I find it insanely stupid. The “guaranteed” money they receive from exclusivity likely ends up being far less than what they’ll get from lifetime exclusives throughout the life of the generation the game is released in. That’s assuming the guaranteed money isn’t something absurd like the cost to make the game + assumed sales figure for the year

                No, it just doesn't matter as much as people make it out to be. Exoprimal launched on every platform but the Switch. That didn't help it. Tears of the Kingdom hit 20M in sales in 3 months and people still pay $60 for Breath of the Wild. Those games don't need other platforms to sell well. GTA VI isn't launching on PC. It'll still make $1B day one. It's the game, not the platforms that matter.

                We also don't know how much the titles would've sold had they launched on other platforms. However, I can point to Exoprimal that launched on everything but the Switch and wasn't helped. Forspoken launched on PS5/PC and that didn't help it. Meanwhile, Tears of the Kingdom launched on only one platform and sold 20M copies in 3 months. MHW and MHR both launched on consoles and took 8 months before coming to PC. GTA VI is not launching on PC. It'll do just fine without that market.

                If the game isn't good like Forspoken and Exoprimal or if people don't care about it like Alan Wake 2, it doesn't matter how many platforms a game is on. So, why do companies take exclusivity deals? Because they're not confident enough in their products to go without the help. Not to mention if the game is good, they can just port it later for more sales later.

                again, nothing you have pointed out says anything about whether it was a net positive or negative. a game that sells well would sell even more on other platforms and the point was never about whether a game would sell well or ‘fine’. it’s true that in terms of risk, a game that companies have no confidence in might be safer with exclusivity, but the conversation was around ff rebirth, monster hunter and fromsoft games. these are games that would plainly be extremely successful so the risk hedging argument doesn’t make sense

Also every level up felt amazing. Cant say the same for anything involving FFXIV. That game can be fun, but I miss the "hardcore" aspect of the og.

            said, the gaming landscape changed. If you play a game and the game doesnt tell you every 5 minutes that you rock and that you are THE best thing in the whole world, the current average gamer will feel dissatisfied. A face-lifted FFXI will bomb and only be played by a niche. And with a name like final fantasy, you dont wanna cater towards a niche crowd.

      Endwalker was a blunder. Dragonflight wasn't. FF14 had less troony presence (besides its community) but literally just announced they cast a troony VA for a Dawntrail main character. Yoshi can't stop making mistakes. His monkey paw bad luck is coming since FF16 and now Dawntrail while Metzen is bringing only good news and hype. I play both but 14 is definitely hurdling towards shit tier at incredible speeds.

                Oh, sorry. I'm typically not big on raid stories in general. Obviously, they tell a story in a different way than the MSQ would. More truncated, with bigger gaps between, and all that.
                But Pandaemonium was probably my favorite raid storyline?
                Doesn't reflect on Hiroi's MSQ-writing skills, of course, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

        no, the community is kind to new tanks, just let people know you're new and remember to AOE everything with your stance on.
        If you die to mechanics (unlikely, you can literally solo all of ARR up to Titan on a marauder with level sync), someone will help you learn it quickly.

        Normal content is braindead easy.

          Biggest mistake new tanks make is not aoeing, not only is it the best way to hold aggro but tanks gain access to their aoe skills before (way before some) dps jobs so you're actually doing more damage than anyone else in the party on trash pulls in low level dungeons.

          • 4 months ago
            Anonymous

            Back before everything was dumbed down you wouldn't get aoe with tanks till way later down the line (mrd being an exception if I recall correctly) so you had to actually keep track of mobs individually within a pull and make sure your aggro is on point for each one of them.

        That's because SMN was recently butchered. And they are about to the same with DRG because as much as the west jokes about DRG being easy, in JP it is viewed as a complicated job because of the amount of offgcd buttons (the highest in the game I think)

        Ninja feels like a lot of fun to play on a dummy but in a real fight situation there are mechanics that sometimes make it so your rotation has to be delayed and delaying your rotation as a ninja makes you feel the worse out of any job in the game. If you can have 100% uptime it's really great but usually that's not what happens because "haha lmao cycle time where the boss jumps around kicking balls hahaha"

          main difference is endwalker's trailer was a culmination of 10 years of buildup from established lore, new players or people who have never touched the game will still see some familiar things to get excited about with what little knowledge they have from earlier trailers or parts in the game. the musical timing with the visuals was also much better

            Moenbryda, Ysayle and Venat shouldn't have been killed off.
            Or at least not at the points they were killed off. Both Moenbryda and Ysayle had more potential to be good characters. Venat could've had some reason for why she was weaker than she used to be, and just around Scion-level. In turn, she could walk and discover the world she wrought with her own time for maybe the first time in thousands of years.
            Alas.

                The Ysayle and Estinien parts were much shorter than people remember, and they spent most of it talking about yoship's special boy Alphinaud.

              Moenbryda was killed off was too soon for sure, but what they did to Ysale was straight up tragic. Her worldview gets eviscerated, he belief system crushed(remember she got nowaygay'd by the dragon she thought she was the reincarnated lover of) and had just begun to turn the corner to walking hand in hand in regards to ending the Dragonsong war and reintegrating the Dragon Worshipers back into Ishgard proper before she sacrificed herself. If felt like they killed her off to AVOID having to give her more depth if anything, honestly.

                Yeah. Ysayle was way underutilized. I think she played her role well, but she could've been way more.

                Probably would have worked better if they'd not tried to whitewash her "kill all the innocents" speech in ARR's patches by making her a touchy feely pacifist in HW, criticising Estinien for far less aggression than she herself showed in earlier appearances. She suicides because her dragon bf wasn't actually her bf, when her original character was an unrepentant murderer who would find out her justification for mass slaughter (that she actively participated in) was based on a childish fantasy.

                Rest in piss, psycho b***h. Hraesvelgr didn't give a frick he carried her to her doom with a grin.

                your gcd relative to the fight timeline is entirely dependent on how closely you attacked the boss from the guy who pulled it, there’s zero skill involved. why do you think p8s p1 had so many dps pulling and randomly dying to the double autos, it was because they wanted to sync their gcd consistently so they could avoid dropping gcds for snake, which just led to people pulling the boss earlier and earlier before the timer said start (sometimes at 2 seconds lol)

                Ideally you never use it to disengage since you want to keep fast gcd rolling. SSS only has one niche usage and its when bosses are about to disappear (downtime) so you SSS right before they go away.

      Not in ARR. There's some bits of interesting set up in ARR, but they're mostly drawn out among a bunch of quests.
      But the trial is free and you can play all the way until Stormblood. You can rush through to Stormblood or do it bit by bit whenever you feel like it, and nothing is really lost other than your time.

        Is it on Steam?

        If you get it on Steam, you have to buy all future expansions for the game on Steam. While your FFXIV account and subscription can be accessed on any platform, you will have to buy FFXIV and its expansions again if you wanted to play on Playstation or on PC without Steam.

    • 4 months ago
      Anonymous

      Yes it is but to compound what the other guy said, most people don't usually buy it through Steam because it's not on sale very often through there, actually there's a 50% off sale right now if you buy it through Square Enix
      Buying it through Steam also permanently ties your account TO Steam so you can only play your account and characters through there, you need to buy the whole fricking game all over again if you want an account that is not locked to Steam
      HOWEVER Steam also allows you to use regional pricing for your subscription and will accept Steam Wallet funds in lieu of payment, so if you trade items in shitty hat simulators or like to sell rainbow knives in Counter Strike, you can effectively play for free that way

          Furniture is always profitable and tbh 6-7 months is enough to reach gil cap. Watch out for new goodies coming out in 6.55. Also better hoard pot/food mats before next week, people will be spending their tomes on relic upgrade so prices Will go up.

              If the queues tip over during prime hours into the 7-9 minute range you know there's only one instance running. You can also tell by the people you are playing with, there are a lot of FL regulars who queue consistently throughout the day and you'll notice you get put into different batches of players as you queue.

                Cause since I'm not subbed, I can't Data Travel into Primal or Crystal to see if the queues are actually faster. You playing, in total, 7000 Frontline matches doesn't say much about the current activity of Frontline queues in the three NA Data Centers over the past 18 months, because you could've played those matches before the past 18 months. I've just never come across someone saying Primal was the most active FL DC followed by Crystal and Aether.

    Data Center travel should have have been a thing. Even world travel is pushing it.
    Not only are individual centers losing their identities but it also means all the degenerate fricks don't have to stay on Balmung's Center and can show up anywhere at any time.

      You're still limited by your region so end of the day you are trapped in whatever shithole you helped create. None of you guys can visit me in JP with your stupid troony shenanigans.

        Datamining has already shown the foundation is already in to allow cross region travel, JP will suffer with the rest of us.

          they said a few months ago too they could theoretically THROW WIDE THE GATES whenever they felt like, all the infrastructure is in place, they're just watching and waiting to see if communities will completely dissolve from it (translation: they don't want JP to get flooded with english speakers)

            This is always going to be the crux of the situation, FFXI was a wake up call for everyone, the JP playerbase HATED everyone else and they resented the fact that we all joined "their" game on "their" servers and treated people as such. There was even a huge drama happening when it was revealed that the GMs for the game were also mistreating foreign players.

            They legitimately should have had world wide DC travel by now, there's no reason not to.

                47 seconds in and I'm already dying from laughter. This hits too close to home as someone who played 11 and also playing 14 on jp dc (gaia.)

              There's a huge reason not to if you've checked out Primal in the last few months.

                Nobody plays on it anymore. The PF is dead even during primetime. You have to go to Aether if you want to play the game.

                nothing really. For how empty the PF is on crystal, you can go to limsa/the quicksands and have so many people around that the game wont render them all

                JP has a more or less similar situation in which if you actually want to do content you gotta travel to mana. I mean, it's not like gaia is dead dead but it is very limited. Don't even get me started on the new DC literally nobody asked for.

          For NA and EU, sure. But for JP, I honestly doubt they'd ever do it even if they could (or already can, allegedly). The language barrier is a BIG deal. Perhaps less so for Elemental, but still.

            That's why the auto translate function exists, it was crucial for XI and it still works just the same.

              Doesn't change the fact no one wants a flood of English speakers. No one wants morons who can't read the macro. Are you going to tl function the entire macro? Good luck with that. Etc. Etc.

              Why would Yoshi shoot himself in the foot like this? Contrary to the treating NA gets, they actually care about what JP players have to say.

      Maybe, but you also kind of sound like the people who wish Party Finder/Duty Finder weren't a thing. The convenience of just tossing up a party finder or queueing for a duty instead of manually shouting in the world for someone to notice so you could group up together ruined the identity of party formation and the leveling/raiding process.
