Nah mate, having a lie-in, then gonna watch it live with a coffee and almond croissant while chilling on the sofa at a comfy 10am.
May even stick a couple of logs on the fire if it's cold.
Nah it's because of the bunny ears. They've been so lazy even with cat ears and hats lately, no way they'd bother doing slight extra work to get hats for all the different bunny ears (2?).
I don't think Koji is going to be writing the lyrics for this expansion so that might be the reason why. what's he working on now that XVI is finished anyways?
Why would they devote more budget or dev resources to XIV when it just gains subs even as they add less and less? The game already peaked, you just have to accept that.

They've managed to achieve the ultimate goal of any major corporation, being able to shit in the mouths of their consumers and have them not only thank them for it, but defend it to detractors.
Theres really no reason FFXIV ever even needs to update again.
It's the only healer I play in EW. I only level SCH through SMN and have yet to pick up the job quest skills. WHM is boring and AST feels awful to play this expansion, but it used to be my go-to.
Former AST main here. I switched to SGE. My co-healer plays WHM so I can't really play AST with them any more, and I hate the way it plays atm anyway. SCH is okay but it has that patchwork feel to it while SGE feels cleaner to play. All healers are boring to play rn tho so who cares.
Raiding is frustrating because people are moronic, even though half of them are using cactbot. And when you do clear its formulaic to reclear so its just time gated by artificial lockouts.
The non combat stuff is cute but done better in other games.
Housing is neat to decorate but completely useless functionally and the plots are dead.
Zones are too big and population too split up so its empty everywhere other than the trains of gathering bots.
Story doesnt have the balls to kill off characters and do a hard reset so it keeps trying to up the ante and fails.

It has been around the same DPS as SMN but with way better utility. It's just that no one wants to play it when SMN requires 0 braincells to play.

No, only Odin and Alexander require astral flow to summon and that's on a one hour timer now. You swap summons pretty often during combat because they all have wildly different uses and you want to get their buffs out but they also cost MP to maintain. So you like summon Garuda to cast Hastega, dismiss her, summon Shiva and Double Slap, dismiss, summon Titan and Stoneskin, and so on.

Oh yeah I forgot Bunshin is still one. I stopped playing NIN in pve because I don't like forked raiju. The change to Bloodfest made me swap back to DRK after being a GNB main since 5.0
The funniest part about PLD is how the peak of its potential output coincided 1:1 with the times when it was most excluded from PFs.
FF14 players cannot be trusted with anything.
Change all jobs to be as unique as possible and remove the ability to filter by individual jobs in PF, only enforce role composition or 1 player per job.
As long as all standard comps are technically capable of clearing a fight at minimum item level, that's the only baseline they need to hit.
>>The 2 Minute Meta was in response to players b***hing about classes getting fricked over by timing windows and getting banned from high end play, if you want it changed give feedback (aka Be Japanese)
So this whole 2 minute meta is just "you think you do, but you don't"?
Yes. People were ALREADY doing 2 minute meta before Endwalker. You would just align buffs to the common multiple of the jobs you had in your party. The only real difference is that the multiple is the same every time and you don't need to try and get randos of different skill levels on the same page

>Please don’t add puppet master, I don’t want it butchered
Don't worry, it's safe. They said they would only ever add it as a limited job, but the whole limited thing is dead in the water as they can't even properly update the single existing one.
>The question is, will we have a repeat of Raubahn's Wall?
They've learned not to put solo instances too early on now, so I hope not. Plus there's an actual queue system for them now, so people wouldn't need to line up.
The sad thing is it's actually pretty fun for me and is surprisingly really good for AoE bursting. But then lately my dungeon roulettes have had nothing but other MCHs, or BRDs and DNCs, and somehow all of them are dumb chucklefricks that seem to not get AoEs.
man the blu updates are so fricking lazy
i expected a new game mode after all that yoship waffling about blu battle royale but they couldn’t even be arsed to update the existing game mode (carnivale) with anything except ONE (UNO) new stage
When is smn going to get reworked into something like wow warlock where you actively control your summons and can do things like make Titan tank or have Ifrit do aoe attacks while they have unique moves and buffs?

I'm do fricking sorry little Endsperm but you missed it, you literally missed it babygirl. My sweet, precious sprout you just weren't there, and it's gone forever.
Say something nice about EW that you genuinely liked and still think about.
For me, it's the scene at the end of the Atiascope where Amon is still a bit unfulfilled because at the core of Hermes was someone who wanted humanity to win. Along with Asahi's final farewell being the loveable bastard he always was.
Oh, and plates. Plates are what finally got me to try ultimates because the modifiers for your portraits are way better than the weapons or titles. They're also a new addition that isn't blatantly taken from mods or add-ons.
In From the Cold
Hermes is a kino character and too well written for the playerbase to understand
Nu-SMN has boring gameplay but it's easily moddable so now I get to be the SMN of my dreams
Plates are a nice idea but holy frick they're janked
Eureka Orthos was fun
Variants are fun the first time through even though they're pointless after
Paladin was in the best state it has ever been in and likely ever will be in until they removed the job in 6.3.
PVP rework was great in concept, particularly in terms of job design (unfortunately ruined by bots and cheaters).
Adventurer plates are neat I guess.
Venat a cute.
Hipster take? Stop sniffing your own farts you little fricking Black person. They literally just copy pasted gunbreaker over the only remaining tank that had any semblance of identity, because God fricking forbid they let anyone actually choose how they play the game. >b-but it did le low dps!!!!!
It was doing more in 6.2 than it was in fricking 6.3, when THE ONLY REASON THEY DID THE CHANGE WAS TO INCREASE ITS DAMAGE AND THEY MADE IT DO LESS
Words cannot fricking express the absolute galactic levels of fricking idiocy the devs are on. It's just too fricking absurd to be able to communicate it.
Literally every single paladin main has either quit the game or switched jobs to cope and only metagays actually care about the job now that they've slowly powercrept it up to be serviceable (they were too moronic to use the job before because it had a skill floor)

At least I got the Rydia set for casters, you can do fun stuff with it.
Also it all makes me wish they'd just do away with the class locked armor skins already.
PvP as mentioned was pretty much a home run. Easily the best addition to the game in EW hands down. It's unfortunately dragged down by cheaters and the game's dodgy netcode but that's not really something you can blame the mode itself for.
I also liked Sil'dih Subterrane a lot, it was fun even though it had some major flaws. Sadly, that's also the exact reason why I didn't enjoy Mount Rokkon and likely won't enjoy the next one either, because it completely failed to adress any of the faults that the first one had and was just Sil'dih Subterrane, again.
Equally disappointing. The job "reveals" are nothingburgers. Just a 20-second clip of them pressing 1 and 2, not even 3. Fanfest as a whole is a scam, the real info that matters always drops during media tour, job action trailer, and preliminary LL a month or so before release.
You're missing the point. People go to fanfests to get to dress up in stupid clothing and talk to fellow autists and to frick fat people.

Except you don't. You mount it normally with a whistle like every other mount. The description says it's a construct you're calling to you. They just didn't bother to put your character model on it.
Shut the frick up moron. If they wanted it to be youe character transforming into the phoenix they could have put some kind of unique animation or visual effect instead of a whistle. At the very least they could have written that in the mount description. They did not, because the idea that you become the phoenix was invented by the playerbase. It's pure headcanon delusion.
You literally don't transform into the phoenix. You summon a construct and then turn invisible for some reason. >community agrees
Yeah, that's the delusion I'm talking about. Simply reading the description will reveal that what they agree upon is just not true.

>Yoshida: " "That's a difficult question," begins Yoshi-P. "We have skill rotations varying between 60 and 120 seconds for the most intense phases and that's how it works currently. But the reason it's like this today is that we've received, in the past, feedback from all over the world saying that the timing of fights were difficult, it was difficult to align skills between classes, we were asked to unify everything, and precisely because we received these requests to homogenize this, we homogenized it"."
>In fact, in past expansions like Heavensward and Stormblood the design of fights and classes were very different from how it is today. Just look at classes that have completely changed from their original versions, like Summoner, Astrologian, Bard, and Machinist. Furthermore, the design of the bosses and the arenas in which fights take place were different, which created different situations - and functions - between melee and ranged classes. There are those who say that having the game less "on track" is more fun - and Yoshi-P is not against this idea, but there is a balance that needs to be discussed.
>Although hardcore players make up the majority of those who complain about how FF14's combat has become homogenized over the years, there is a significant portion of players, who we can consider as intermediates, who may not dedicate themselves to the more difficult encounters as diligently, but who do want to challenge themselves to overcome the game's most difficult fights and engage more frequently with the combat system than others who really stick more to the non-combat options offered by the MMO.
>Although hardcore players make up the majority of those who complain about how FF14's combat has become homogenized over the years
What the frick is this literal headcanon? The raidbucks are the ones that cry for homogenisation because they need le heckin meta comp at all times.
It's the midcores that actually see the bigger picture and know that a game exists beyond raidhomosexualry and therefore understand that building jobs around that is atrocious for the long term health of the game.

>Casuals never gave a frick about playing optimally moron
Casuals (or intermediate in Yoship's words) are the ones who blindly copy meta from hardcore players without understanding it. They're the one who were excluding MCH from week 6 p5s devour prog because they heard "MCH sucks now" after hardcore players had trouble in p8s week 1. Hardcore players like the challenge of difficult gameplay, casuals want it dumbed down into a 2 minute meta so they can participate too and get their shinys.

The only reason meta is like that because raidgays couldn't stop seething about the raid buff alignment while casual just press stuff on cooldown and don't care
Japs are too busy crying on official forums about NPC having wrong shoes and mismatched pants dyes, and SE focuses on fixing it above bugs or job potencies. Meanwhile, western audience has been crying since stormblood about meta and once they got their balance in EW they cried about it even harder because yoshi used "more accessible to casual players" as an excuse which made all raidgays instantly forget it's their fault

raids are absolutely harder, not counting obvious "intro to raiding" shit like p1/p2s. ultimates would have been dead content if top released in stormblood. if they don't feel harder it's because they've made classes easier, which is what gives them the design space for harder mechanics

There are no harder mechanics is the problem. All they did was make everything wipe the party for any mistake. Imagine if missing a tower in Thordan EX was a wipe instead of a mistake that makes the fight harder but can be recovered from. Or if anyone dying from another player in Forsaken 3/4 or the end of Kefaust wiped the raid. That's the "difficulty" of XIV now. Plus, dps checks are nonexistent this entire expansion with the two notable examples, P8S and TOP, clearly not being tested with multiple compositions in their relevance.

The only way to make casuals case about hardcore content is the rewards, this is why axolotl mount made the P12S still be alive while also having the biggest player falloff. People only do it for the mount and never return again.
Also, good to know you know nothing about MMO players, especially the ones plying this game, or how content engagement works.

find out and see "ook, monk ugly number? me no want monk" >>game spirals into homogenized mess because mains don't want to level two jobs
So casual players are moronic and can't adjust while raidGODS adjust and play whatever the frick they want or what works?
Reminder that casuals were pissing, shitting, crying and cumming about how bad SB DRK was and the world first UCoB clear had one.
Players don't know what they want and what they're asking for, what else is new? After YoshiP took over, the XIV team has prided itself on transparency and catering to player requests, but there comes a point where the players don't know what's good for them and the devs are straight up spineless for giving into them.
You literally have a direct quote from yoship here that the 2min meta and job homogenization is for "intermediates" and that "hardcore" players do not like it. And people are arguing against it thinking they know the devs intentions better
He's either lying trough his fricking teeth or is a complete moron.
No casual ever asked for the game to become what it is today and he himself said all of it was to turn the game into poopsocking city and coral people there because that's what he did in wow.
>No casual ever asked for the game to become what it is today
No one asked for it, but they definitely complained about buff alignment, so SE monkeypawed it and gave us the 2min crit meta.
People complained about having to work for uptime (even though that's actually fun) so we got the massive hitboxes
People complained about their job being excluded from parties so we got job homogenisation.
SE will always monkeypaw everything
I'm a casual and I'd rather have the ARR meta.
Make rangeds have to choose between giving MP, TP or magic damage, and give them healer LB's back since the last time ranged LB was useful was on fricking E4S.
Make healing GCD based again, add mechanics that play with healing like Leviathan, make healer damage AoE's absolute nukes that drain the frick out of your MP bar, make piety give MP again instead of always having 10000 MP, make the fairy great again.
>"yoshida and the devs always know better!" >the same yoshida and devs that said DRG was fine in final coil and didn't need armor buffs to survive so they will not make any changes. even though players were refusing to bring DRGs to raids >a month later emergency patches the game to increase the amount of magic resist and armor on DRG armor pieces
lol. lmao.
>>"yoshida and the devs always know better!"
They know why they made changes better than we do, that's for sure. If they say that they dumbed down the game to appeal to "intermediates" then who are we to argue? We can understand better the effect and outcome of changes, but not the intent behind them.
>create a new system because all players wanted things to line up >2 Min window and homogenization to solve problem of players >Hardcore players get mad at the thing they asked for >mid tier players and lower do not care
Reads more like Hardcore players fricked themselves over while the average player just slots into the 2 min meta does there content and comes back next patch.

>But the reason it's like this today is that we've received, in the past, feedback from all over the world saying that the timing of fights were difficult, it was difficult to align skills between classes, we were asked to unify everything, and precisely because we received these requests to homogenize this, we homogenized it".
The developer just told you that they did it because people asked for it. Not just a singular group of people ALL THE FRICKING PEOPLE >Although hardcore players make up the majority of those who complain about how FF14's combat has become homogenized over the years
This part right here is who is complaining about the changes THEY asked for > there is a significant portion of players, who we can consider as intermediates, who may not dedicate themselves to the more difficult encounters
These are the people the devs seem to care about
Its not even reading into it

>spend an entire expansion cycle doing nothing but removing content >ITS ALWAYS WORKED THIS WAY SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP YOU'RE AN ENDSPERM SHUT UP IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH OCEANIA
I accept your concession.
Content that is copied 1:1 from another part of the game while removing content that is not copied 1:1 from another part of the game results in a net negative of genuine content therefore content was removed. Not just relatively by comparing the patch cycle of one expansion to another, but objectively by comparing the game prepatch to the game postpatch.
Covid ended and people realized they have better things to do than play an MMO obsessively, with newcomers not realizing how this game works for patches and ecelebs getting easy bait clicks for it.

You'd be surprised. The amount of casuals who think the should remove wings from PLD because it's "useless." Casuals say a lot of dumbshit and Japan are the main problem with streamlining everything, not raiders you fricking mong.
They're going to make PoA into an instant pop instead of channel, you KNOW it's coming. I don't like abilities extending 30y but that's where we are now. Push button and don't think.
P10S isn't that good, the VA is the main reason people enjoy it. Besides, everyone uses the one-platform strat since week 1. Maybe they should make smaller bosses, I'm so sick of these gigahomie hitboxes and I have been since Eden'a Promise.
Gigahomie hitboxes I feel are going to be here to stay, you really think square isn't going to double down on EW's moronation? I expect DT to be a complete fricking mess with them just milking the money to spread it out into more Forspoken tier failures.

I think my personal favorite was doing reclears again after the patch came out and seeing the fricking scholar bubble now fitting an entire football field inside of it. It's hilarious how big shit is now.
Yes you moron.
I've played with my casual FC for YEARS and they always asked for shit like this because buffs and timers were complicated to them.
Pull your head out of the sand and fricking talk to people that play the game.
What I'm getting from posts like these is that you people are socially inept and play solo while talking to no one so you have no idea what anyone thinks.
I had some casual in the 24 man yesterday say RPR is a super hard calculator job.
Casuals will never stop complaining.
Why do parsetrannies act like the game was ever more than botted rotations
They even made programs to tell them what to do in raids because "stand on this corner when the boss turns red" is too hard to remember
>hit all the mentor conditions except for lv90 healer+role quest after i got just got 1500 commendations >somehow got 1000 dungeons/trials done in only two years despite large breaks >don't ever want to actually accept the role though because jesus frick mentors are fricking useless ass pieces of shit and i don't care for the mount

Conspiracy theory: We keep losing skills and having everything dumbed down to pander to Japanese controller users who mostly play on their Playstations.
Controller is fine, you could fit the most bloat-heavy HW/SB era jobs on a modern controller setup, including stuff like potions, food, and levequest macros.
It's obvious that they are casualising content so that more people would try hard content, people denying that must be moronic. It's quite a simple thing, not to mention everything being on 2 minute timer would make in theory balancing shit easier.
This is what it is. Yoshida wants XIV to be a subscription VN, just look what he did to XVI. Remember Easy and Very Easy options being added to instances? He's courting an audience of people who don't want to play the game.
>so that more people would try hard content
And then they're literally stating that this itself is causing a new problem. If a casual doesn't want to try a Savage or Extreme, they will not do it. If someone doesn't have the friends and know-how to go beyond expectations, all these changes to accommodate for adapting newbies into the fold mean absolutely nothing overall. There's a very, very small percentage of people in the world that can clear an Ultimate of the entire playerbase, and most of them are still cheaters that made Yoshida question if it's even worth creating them still. Right now, I can buy all of the Diadochos and easily grind up a Manderville weapon, never go for a single augmented piece of gear, and do all non-hardcore content, and that's what more concentrated and intense casual players will peak at before fricking off; most won't even reach that point.
>Pint got paid to leave FFXIV for Genshin >Makes a sponsored Genshin video after a 6 month hiatus >Get's next to no views in a day compared to his FFXIV or WOW videos
What's next for his career now that the FFXIV curse has finally gotten him like all the other grifters?
I forgot he even existed.
Did he finally accept his troony status or does he still claim it's because he's a "theater kid"? He's been questionable ever since WoW.
>I forgot he even existed. >Did he finally accept his troony status or does he still claim it's because he's a "theater kid"? He's been questionable ever since WoW.
He met up with F1nnst5r (who's been at least indirectly linked to a literal pedo group) at Twitchon in earlier this summer after being groomed via twitter once he started crossdressing publicly. There were even people in his chat talking about his egg "cracking" or whatever.
The only other thing that's happened is he quietly joined Mythic Talent, one of Asmon (one of the countless vultures who steals and reuploads his content in full) many ventures. So now not only did he sell out to miHoyo, he sold out to Asmoncorp on top of that. Literally working for the guy who steals from him (I dont bring that up for no reason, Pint has even gone on record saying reaction videos don't actually help them but that he doesnt care because he likes to see people watch his videos but that's obvious cope).
His future at this point is being groomed into taking HRT by twitter trannies, while his viewcount will only go down as his content grew stale and he just exists for react leeches to profit off of and he's too much of a cuck to do anything about it, while he's now at the poin tof having to grift genshin becaues he cant grift WoW or FFXIV anymore.
So anyway what I'm trying to say is just be happy you aren't Pint, no matter how shitty your life is right now just be glad you weren't born as Pint.
>indirectly
I've kept up with this and he was directly in contact with an actual porn addict troon who got off to 'p and grooming children.
The other acquaintance, friend, whatever, was also in DMs fantasizing about the same things.
These people are actual evil.
This man was cucked out of crystal rank in S7 so hard he basically quit XIV. Then again, CC on primal isn't pretty aids, you have to learn to dodge all the revival and rumble trannies, and most make a habit of throwing matches out of spite then climbing back up like Xiao Longbao who constantly fluctuates between top 100 and platinum every season. Climbing on crystal or aether is way easier because you have fewer schizos to deal with.
Yes they did, too many buttons and it was too confusing
They also felt stupid when they would press their buff button and it wouldn't line up with the other buffs
Tank positioning was relevant for multiple expansions but casuals kept fricking it up and wasting people's time in raids/24 mans so they changed it
Accessibility is king for a company trying to maximize players and profit
Tank is pretty much as casual as you get now. Better queue times, don't have to think about "complicated" rotations at all, and all you really have to do is sit there and mitigate while occasionally moving so that someone doesn't eat shit with you- and they're expected to move away more than you are. It's actually kind of hilarious how a melee DPS is in more danger most of the time than the main tank.
>casuals asked for this >no raiders asked for this
THE JAPANESE ASKED FOR IT
THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS
YOUR ANECDOTAL EXPERIENCE FROM YOUR OWN CASUAL/RAIDING FRIENDS DOES NOT MATTER, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT JAPANESE
I don't fricking care whether it was japanese casuals or japanese hardcore players, that's not the point
The point is that they only take feedback from bugmen
Ignore this moronic argument from 5.4+ shbabs that don't remember anything what the game was like during 5.0 and before.

They have never made a change to the game client itself as a result of non-japanese feedback.

They use DF macros and stick to those macros. There's no topsy chuckleBlack person or braindead mariobraindead or JP(not actually used by JP btw) strat discourse. That's saved for PF. If you don't follow the macro you are blacklisted by the whole DC.
Japanese people are used to reading macros because their whole fricking language is in DF macro language. Goddamn I wish I could immediately understand macros.

Late Stormblood Summoner was the peak of the job in my opinion. It was quite literally perfect and I never understood why it needed continual gutting starting with Shadowbringers.
I play this game single player, I do dungeons with NPCs and if possible I always have my wife, y'shtola, in the party and have fun adventures. I wish yoshit-piss puts NPCs in alliance raids or more NPC-themed dungeons so I can always be with her.

The biofems lead with that, they never go right into it.

Nah, especially if they show off their house or apartment. They just want someone to listen to them.

Probably FF17
XVI hasn’t finished, it’s getting two large DLCs in the future.
Then Dawntrail is going to be another Endwalker...
Why would they devote more budget or dev resources to XIV when it just gains subs even as they add less and less? The game already peaked, you just have to accept that.
They've managed to achieve the ultimate goal of any major corporation, being able to shit in the mouths of their consumers and have them not only thank them for it, but defend it to detractors.
Theres really no reason FFXIV ever even needs to update again.
The dragons talk again so he's working on XIV still.

Do people even play sage still?
It's the only healer I play in EW. I only level SCH through SMN and have yet to pick up the job quest skills. WHM is boring and AST feels awful to play this expansion, but it used to be my go-to.
Former AST main here. I switched to SGE. My co-healer plays WHM so I can't really play AST with them any more, and I hate the way it plays atm anyway. SCH is okay but it has that patchwork feel to it while SGE feels cleaner to play. All healers are boring to play rn tho so who cares.
Nice feet seams
All its good for is Second Life shit.
Raiding is frustrating because people are moronic, even though half of them are using cactbot. And when you do clear its formulaic to reclear so its just time gated by artificial lockouts.
The non combat stuff is cute but done better in other games.
Housing is neat to decorate but completely useless functionally and the plots are dead.
Zones are too big and population too split up so its empty everywhere other than the trains of gathering bots.
Story doesnt have the balls to kill off characters and do a hard reset so it keeps trying to up the ante and fails.
Glams are getting more flashy and ridiculous.

Oh. I've actually seen people argue that seriously so it's hard to tell
RPR was for a while there, DNC was at the start of the expansion
DRG was bad for a bit, think NIN was too
Ummmm
PLD was pretty terrible for a while
RDM has been awful the whole expansion
Delete the 2 minute met, I miss 90 second buffs and stuff
>RDM has been awful the whole expansion
It has been around the same DPS as SMN but with way better utility. It's just that no one wants to play it when SMN requires 0 braincells to play.
That's what makes SMN the better prog pick since you basically don't need to think about optimizing at all and you've still got an extra raise.
It kinda sounds like RDM will be a shit job until they totally gut it like they did with SMN.
Please look forward to it.
Just remove raise from both casters lol
>remove raise from RDM
moron. Just make SMN's raise only available under Phoenix
Are you dumb?
Nah but you are if you defend nu-SMN.
new smn is perfect for idiots like me that can't do a proper rotation and do mechanics at the same time.
Healers already exist
i also can't pay attention to other people's health and mechanics at the same time. also i am very slow healing.
I liked XI summoner more
don't you have to wait hours between summons in XI?
yeah but they're cooler and bigger
No, only Odin and Alexander require astral flow to summon and that's on a one hour timer now. You swap summons pretty often during combat because they all have wildly different uses and you want to get their buffs out but they also cost MP to maintain. So you like summon Garuda to cast Hastega, dismiss her, summon Shiva and Double Slap, dismiss, summon Titan and Stoneskin, and so on.
i remember smn was barred from some p2s pfs
90s CDs are never coming back lmao
>MNK is one of the last remaining jobs to have a 90s
>it's a glorified DOT
Don't make me feel dread...
I enjoy keeping an eye on Bunshin on NIN since it's still 90 seconds
Still peeved that they changed Bloodfest to 120 seconds on GNB
Oh yeah I forgot Bunshin is still one. I stopped playing NIN in pve because I don't like forked raiju. The change to Bloodfest made me swap back to DRK after being a GNB main since 5.0
The funniest part about PLD is how the peak of its potential output coincided 1:1 with the times when it was most excluded from PFs.
FF14 players cannot be trusted with anything.
Change all jobs to be as unique as possible and remove the ability to filter by individual jobs in PF, only enforce role composition or 1 player per job.
As long as all standard comps are technically capable of clearing a fight at minimum item level, that's the only baseline they need to hit.
They have, unlike SHB.
>>The 2 Minute Meta was in response to players b***hing about classes getting fricked over by timing windows and getting banned from high end play, if you want it changed give feedback (aka Be Japanese)
So this whole 2 minute meta is just "you think you do, but you don't"?
Yes. People were ALREADY doing 2 minute meta before Endwalker. You would just align buffs to the common multiple of the jobs you had in your party. The only real difference is that the multiple is the same every time and you don't need to try and get randos of different skill levels on the same page

Weekly npc deliveries.

Don't worry, it's safe. They said they would only ever add it as a limited job, but the whole limited thing is dead in the water as they can't even properly update the single existing one.

>The question is, will we have a repeat of Raubahn's Wall?
They've learned not to put solo instances too early on now, so I hope not. Plus there's an actual queue system for them now, so people wouldn't need to line up.
No it's not
Will MCHbros ever be respected?
No
Machinist has been a joke since SB
The sad thing is it's actually pretty fun for me and is surprisingly really good for AoE bursting. But then lately my dungeon roulettes have had nothing but other MCHs, or BRDs and DNCs, and somehow all of them are dumb chucklefricks that seem to not get AoEs.
Ranged will never be respected. Either you go for melee or you're a homosexual.
God I hope that COR becomes the new gun job
how do they plan on maintaining this game for another 10 years given its shoddy engine?
every patch something breaks
man the blu updates are so fricking lazy
i expected a new game mode after all that yoship waffling about blu battle royale but they couldn’t even be arsed to update the existing game mode (carnivale) with anything except ONE (UNO) new stage
that'll be $13 + tip
They didn't even bother to make sure BLU could do SoS. People figured out a way, but still, it wasn't intended.
Will BLUbros ever be respected?
i pay my sub monthly to do nothing outside of a few roulettes and downloading more outfit mods. i am too in love with my au ra to unsub.

I'm do fricking sorry little Endsperm but you missed it, you literally missed it babygirl. My sweet, precious sprout you just weren't there, and it's gone forever.
Please don't say such things!
that's what smn originally was, but it was so bad and jank they completely changed it.
Why is she rubbing her hands that way?
Nipple announcement soon
Say something nice about EW that you genuinely liked and still think about.
For me, it's the scene at the end of the Atiascope where Amon is still a bit unfulfilled because at the core of Hermes was someone who wanted humanity to win. Along with Asahi's final farewell being the loveable bastard he always was.
Oh, and plates. Plates are what finally got me to try ultimates because the modifiers for your portraits are way better than the weapons or titles. They're also a new addition that isn't blatantly taken from mods or add-ons.
In From the Cold
Hermes is a kino character and too well written for the playerbase to understand
Nu-SMN has boring gameplay but it's easily moddable so now I get to be the SMN of my dreams
Plates are a nice idea but holy frick they're janked
Eureka Orthos was fun
Variants are fun the first time through even though they're pointless after
Paladin was in the best state it has ever been in and likely ever will be in until they removed the job in 6.3.
PVP rework was great in concept, particularly in terms of job design (unfortunately ruined by bots and cheaters).
Adventurer plates are neat I guess.
Venat a cute.
Everything they changed in 6.3 was a massive improvement and you suck dicks.
And you're american i.e. subhuman i.e. your opinion means less than nothing, die for your israeli masters.
You could've tried to convince us that your hipster take had any logic to it but I see that was expecting top much from an ape like you.
Hipster take? Stop sniffing your own farts you little fricking Black person. They literally just copy pasted gunbreaker over the only remaining tank that had any semblance of identity, because God fricking forbid they let anyone actually choose how they play the game.
>b-but it did le low dps!!!!!
It was doing more in 6.2 than it was in fricking 6.3, when THE ONLY REASON THEY DID THE CHANGE WAS TO INCREASE ITS DAMAGE AND THEY MADE IT DO LESS
Words cannot fricking express the absolute galactic levels of fricking idiocy the devs are on. It's just too fricking absurd to be able to communicate it.
Literally every single paladin main has either quit the game or switched jobs to cope and only metagays actually care about the job now that they've slowly powercrept it up to be serviceable (they were too moronic to use the job before because it had a skill floor)
>made the rotation more fluid and lets you mix it up
>fixed defensive cooldowns to not be dogshit
>veil
I bet you think DoTs are the peak of class design.
>more fluid
Yes, that's the problem you fricking gorilla coon. The entire job had this masterful streak of ludonarrative harmony where strict adherence to code tied beautifully into every aspect of the job, from the appearance to the story to the gameplay, but no they have to shit that up because it's not le meta!!!!!!!
You stupid fricking pavement ape.
Dots aren't much but they're better than LITERALLY NOTHING.
>I like pressing 1 after 2!!!!
ok lol
but you're the one that's saying the job is le heckin fluid now?
your strawman is literally you
yes? the job now lets you mix and match 4 5 6 in any order you like? which adds depth and decision-making to your rotation? and you hate it?
>ludonarrative harmony
>strict adherence to code tied beautifully
Shut up you psuedointellectual Black person lmao
>wahhhh i cant appreciate that some jobs are unique and different i hate it when i cant play a job yoshi please fix and remove all the jobs i dont like
I accept your concussion, you fricking brownoid ape.
You have a magic combo that you can now delay to use when away from boss, something only Paladin can do, and you're crying, frick off moron.

>cosmetics absolutely terrible
At least I got the Rydia set for casters, you can do fun stuff with it.
Also it all makes me wish they'd just do away with the class locked armor skins already.
PvP as mentioned was pretty much a home run. Easily the best addition to the game in EW hands down. It's unfortunately dragged down by cheaters and the game's dodgy netcode but that's not really something you can blame the mode itself for.
I also liked Sil'dih Subterrane a lot, it was fun even though it had some major flaws. Sadly, that's also the exact reason why I didn't enjoy Mount Rokkon and likely won't enjoy the next one either, because it completely failed to adress any of the faults that the first one had and was just Sil'dih Subterrane, again.
Considering how disappointing first fanfest was, how disappointing it will be this time?
I hope for another autistic furry to infect pregnant women with covid.
Equally disappointing. The job "reveals" are nothingburgers. Just a 20-second clip of them pressing 1 and 2, not even 3. Fanfest as a whole is a scam, the real info that matters always drops during media tour, job action trailer, and preliminary LL a month or so before release.
You're missing the point. People go to fanfests to get to dress up in stupid clothing and talk to fellow autists and to frick fat people.
These just happen to be shown live.
The same or worse. Doesn't feel the same without Koji.

>Whoaaaa!!! You transform into the phoenix!
Except you don't. You mount it normally with a whistle like every other mount. The description says it's a construct you're calling to you. They just didn't bother to put your character model on it.
so true bro they're just pixels and 01s on a screen why do people try to claim anything exists
Shut the frick up moron. If they wanted it to be youe character transforming into the phoenix they could have put some kind of unique animation or visual effect instead of a whistle. At the very least they could have written that in the mount description. They did not, because the idea that you become the phoenix was invented by the playerbase. It's pure headcanon delusion.
Please understand, playerbase needs any cope they can latch on to pretend that the devs aren't just lazily exploiting their addiction.
>transform into a phoenix
>community agrees you transformed into a phoenix
>"b-but the description!! it's low effort! stop having fun!!"
lmao
You literally don't transform into the phoenix. You summon a construct and then turn invisible for some reason.
>community agrees
Yeah, that's the delusion I'm talking about. Simply reading the description will reveal that what they agree upon is just not true.

>Yoshida: " "That's a difficult question," begins Yoshi-P. "We have skill rotations varying between 60 and 120 seconds for the most intense phases and that's how it works currently. But the reason it's like this today is that we've received, in the past, feedback from all over the world saying that the timing of fights were difficult, it was difficult to align skills between classes, we were asked to unify everything, and precisely because we received these requests to homogenize this, we homogenized it"."
>In fact, in past expansions like Heavensward and Stormblood the design of fights and classes were very different from how it is today. Just look at classes that have completely changed from their original versions, like Summoner, Astrologian, Bard, and Machinist. Furthermore, the design of the bosses and the arenas in which fights take place were different, which created different situations - and functions - between melee and ranged classes. There are those who say that having the game less "on track" is more fun - and Yoshi-P is not against this idea, but there is a balance that needs to be discussed.
>Although hardcore players make up the majority of those who complain about how FF14's combat has become homogenized over the years, there is a significant portion of players, who we can consider as intermediates, who may not dedicate themselves to the more difficult encounters as diligently, but who do want to challenge themselves to overcome the game's most difficult fights and engage more frequently with the combat system than others who really stick more to the non-combat options offered by the MMO.
>Although hardcore players make up the majority of those who complain about how FF14's combat has become homogenized over the years
What the frick is this literal headcanon? The raidbucks are the ones that cry for homogenisation because they need le heckin meta comp at all times.
It's the midcores that actually see the bigger picture and know that a game exists beyond raidhomosexualry and therefore understand that building jobs around that is atrocious for the long term health of the game.

Take note of this post that I'm replying to
This is an example of someone who is terminally online and has a warped perception of reality that fits their narrative because they're ignorant, brown and low iq
No, he's completely right.
You can't help these morons man, they think people who raid and do ultimates are the reason this game has a 2 min meta when in reality, said groups of people hate the 2 min meta and removing abilities.
You can even see this moronic Black person double down here
For YEARS they talked about simplifying things every expansion because people complained things were too complicated
The move from HW to SB was a huge one, they cut the number of abilities and buffs significantly
Yep, this game hit the point of no return with ShB because of how tanking got dumbed down and healer "rework." Again, you can't change these people minds, they're grown ass adults with an IQ of 85. I miss old HW BRD because when you mastered the in and outs of it, you were THE top DPS job.
Casuals never gave a frick about playing optimally moron, this shit never mattered so they never whined about it. You whined about it. You still whine about it. I still hear you moronic homosexuals crying to remove shit like positionals and caster raises and make NIN mobile during TCJ and make this and that align better and why doesn't PLD get a gap closer earlier and on and on and on just shut the frick up already.
Raidgays like to pretend they aren't the cause of the current state of classes because they know it's shit.
>You whined about it because I and casuals never complained, because I said so!
Holy moly, my first time talking to a real life schizo.
>MAKE ALL THE AST CARDS THE SAME I HAVE TO KEEP KILLING MYSELF IF I DON'T GET A DOUBLE BALANCE OPENER THINK ABOUT MY PARSE YOU DUMB FRICKING NIP ZIPPERHEAD Black person
>"Hai sou tbh we do it."
>WHY DID CASUALS KILL AST WHAT THE FRICK!!!!
Casuals enjoyed AST with cards that had varying effects you could spread or empower. I know because I am one and it was soulful and fun, the only things I care about.
It was parsetrannies that ruined AST and nobody else as you said.
Majority of players fished for the balance (and spear when it got crit). Stop lying to yourself
It wasn't essential and if you couldn't get it you worked with what you had. It was interesting and fun to make the most out of it.
>You worked with what you had
Yeah by having to discard a card and waiting again sure is a lot of fun to be useful in endgame content. You're a dumbass.
>discarding when royal road existed
Oof, you fricked up sister. Next time look up gameplay videos from that era or something before you pretend you were there.
>not sitting for 5 minutes before every pull waiting for AST to find balance
>not waiting 52 seconds for WAR to pull with their silly opener
you had to be there
So this is where the delusion comes from. The parsetroony just projects his own behavior onto everyone else and assumes casuals all play like he does therefore it's their fault.
It's literally what almost every AST did because the only cards worth design wise were the damage cards. It's a really simple concept.
Yeah man, really fricked up discarding that ewer/spire when I already had an AoE from Royal Road. You truly are a fricking idiot that makes up things in his head to rationalize why they're such a fricking moron.
>expanded Ewer or Spire
>not useful during royal road era
Holy FRICK just stop pretending you played back then.
You would never hold a ewer/spire card and you only ever used them to royal road them for AoE. I don't know why reading is so hard for you. MP and TP cards were fricking trash outside of AoE because you always had a BRD/MCH for that. Please have a nice day,. you are a grown ass adult with no brain power.
Like I said, you're a real life schizo
Remove caster raises is the most insane shit I've ever heard. Who the FRICK CARES if BLM does more damage, BLM can't save the pull. These morons are going to get the most satisfying utility in the game removed because they're fricking obsessed with that stupid fricking plot on fflogs
It was me earlier who said that they should remove raises from casters
Its not about logs i just think that raising should be a heales job
>and make this and that align better and why doesn't PLD get a gap closer earlier
PLD getting stuff earlier isn't casualization, it's making the job not a barebones chore to play at lower levels. You're stuck doing the same 123 with a weave or two every 30 seconds until like level 60
>Casuals never gave a frick about playing optimally moron
Casuals (or intermediate in Yoship's words) are the ones who blindly copy meta from hardcore players without understanding it. They're the one who were excluding MCH from week 6 p5s devour prog because they heard "MCH sucks now" after hardcore players had trouble in p8s week 1. Hardcore players like the challenge of difficult gameplay, casuals want it dumbed down into a 2 minute meta so they can participate too and get their shinys.
>people who raid and do ultimates are the reason this game has a 2 min meta
But it is the truth you fricking Black folk
The only reason meta is like that because raidgays couldn't stop seething about the raid buff alignment while casual just press stuff on cooldown and don't care
No it isn't, the main reason is the Japanese audience. You tards have been conditioned by Yoshida so hard, it's unreal.
Japs are too busy crying on official forums about NPC having wrong shoes and mismatched pants dyes, and SE focuses on fixing it above bugs or job potencies. Meanwhile, western audience has been crying since stormblood about meta and once they got their balance in EW they cried about it even harder because yoshi used "more accessible to casual players" as an excuse which made all raidgays instantly forget it's their fault
>main dev says it's to be more accessible to casual players
>ACK-shually bros!!!!
YWNBAW
Yeah man, when things are made easier and more braindead to be more accessible, it's for those hardcore raiders that will play anything regardless.
It's definitely not a ploy to get casuals to be unafraid of higher end content so they can get thrown into the hamster wheel of grinding.
Definitely not a way to milk more sub money.
>It's definitely not a ploy to get casuals to be unafraid of higher end content so they can get thrown into the hamster wheel of grinding.
Ah yes, and the best way to aid that objective is to make casual content easier and easier and raid content harder and harder.
Do you have more braindead takes you want to share with the classroom, anon?
>raid content harder and harder
In what world are you living
Extremes and early tier fights are easier. End of tier fights are harder. That's exactly what you want if you're trying to onboard everyone into the raiding hamster wheel.
(Not the guy you're replying to but)
Savage is the roughly the same difficulty as before, but the difficulty moved from jobs to fights. Ultimates are harder but they're not trying to get casuals to do those, they're trying to get them into extreme and early floor savage.
They've removed a lot of the friction and teamwork from savage in order to appeal to casuals and solo-player autists.
Raids are no harder than they were in ShB or SB
If anything, it's easier than it ever has been on top of simplified jobs
You people are actually delusional
raids are absolutely harder, not counting obvious "intro to raiding" shit like p1/p2s. ultimates would have been dead content if top released in stormblood. if they don't feel harder it's because they've made classes easier, which is what gives them the design space for harder mechanics
There are no harder mechanics is the problem. All they did was make everything wipe the party for any mistake. Imagine if missing a tower in Thordan EX was a wipe instead of a mistake that makes the fight harder but can be recovered from. Or if anyone dying from another player in Forsaken 3/4 or the end of Kefaust wiped the raid. That's the "difficulty" of XIV now. Plus, dps checks are nonexistent this entire expansion with the two notable examples, P8S and TOP, clearly not being tested with multiple compositions in their relevance.
mechanics you are not allowed to frick up are by definition harder mechanics
It's, quite literally, artificial difficulty when all mechanics are like that.
>artificial difficulty meme
just say you're bad, it's less embarrassing
He's pretty much just mad that he can't be carried through fights as deadweight anymore
It's the case nearly every time someone complains about this
I do think healers have some valid complaints about it because their entire role's utility lives in the space between success and failure, and if there's no space there then there's literally nothing for them to do once the scripted healing puzzle is solved. that's why zeromus is more fun to heal than ultimates. anyone else complaining about it should git gud.
What? Zeromus outgoing damage is incredibly scripted.
they probably mean that more people making mistakes/dying means you get to actually use your healing tools more often (and provides a chance to carry your team to a clear).
yeah but people are bad and take a lot of stupid damage. a good healer can still turn it into a clear. can't do that with body check fights.
>muh body checks
You're a trash healer, every fight has recovery periods. Stop spamming glare, Black person.
stop dying before you have to soak a tower Black person.
tell me how you recover a golbez if someone dies
>dps checks are nonexistent this entire expansion
Literally the latest unreal has people wiping to enrage more than anything else
I guess that's what happens when bosses don't have hitboxes the size of an entire arena and expect some level of positioning?
That happens every Unreal. People were complaining Shiva Unreal was a tighter check than savage fights at the time. Thordan is super easy, though, and no doubt it's because people think they don't need food or pots. I've been killing him before the tether for three weeks now, excellent fight that rewards holding buffs and optimizing based on movement.
nobody takes unreals seriously. you stumble through them twice and then forget about them for a week. I haven't been in a deathless thordan yet, most runs still have a tower failure.
The only way to make casuals case about hardcore content is the rewards, this is why axolotl mount made the P12S still be alive while also having the biggest player falloff. People only do it for the mount and never return again.
Also, good to know you know nothing about MMO players, especially the ones plying this game, or how content engagement works.
The words of a dumb troony larping as a troony character from a troony game are worthless
Genuinely commit suicide, you are terminally online and out of touch and provide nothing of worth to this conversation
You know nothing of business and game design, only your own bias and ignorance because you are a flawed disgusting creature.
>schizo ramblings after being proven wrong
Classic raidgay response
>troony can't read more than 5 words

your "friends" mock you behind your back.
your parents will use your real name on your grave.
>people who love to optimize end up optimizing the fun out of the game
wow imagine that, this player behavior totally wasn't documented over a decade ago. anyone denying it has fewer brain cells than my miqo
Explain this to raidoids who refuse to acknowledge it's their endless complaining that causes this
In other words: "we wanted to make it easier for casuals".
Savage raiders and Ultimate raiders and YouTube content creators need to be shot.
uhhh bros?
why is the lead dev saying that they made it easier for casuals by doing the 2 minute window?
bros?
Parsetrannies killed the game
>make fflogs to have dick measuring contest
>casuals find out and see "ook, monk ugly number? me no want monk"
>game spirals into homogenized mess because mains don't want to level two jobs
find out and see "ook, monk ugly number? me no want monk"
>>game spirals into homogenized mess because mains don't want to level two jobs
So casual players are moronic and can't adjust while raidGODS adjust and play whatever the frick they want or what works?
Reminder that casuals were pissing, shitting, crying and cumming about how bad SB DRK was and the world first UCoB clear had one.
Silence, you are of a subhuman species
You're american and you're calling others subhuman? Bold.
Silence vassal state
Players don't know what they want and what they're asking for, what else is new? After YoshiP took over, the XIV team has prided itself on transparency and catering to player requests, but there comes a point where the players don't know what's good for them and the devs are straight up spineless for giving into them.
The fact he answered this with a smile on his face makes me want to strangle him so much. Yoshida is no different from Miyamoto now.
You literally have a direct quote from yoship here that the 2min meta and job homogenization is for "intermediates" and that "hardcore" players do not like it. And people are arguing against it thinking they know the devs intentions better
>Believing shit yoshida says
Just like how he said he didn't remove RPG elements from ff16
>Fanbase is delusional
Yeah, nothing new here
Ganker seethes about raiders endlessly, it can't be helped.
He's either lying trough his fricking teeth or is a complete moron.
No casual ever asked for the game to become what it is today and he himself said all of it was to turn the game into poopsocking city and coral people there because that's what he did in wow.
>fanbase wants a lactose-free cheeseburger
>gets hamburger with no cheese
>"erm, this isn't what I asked for"
>No casual ever asked for the game to become what it is today
No one asked for it, but they definitely complained about buff alignment, so SE monkeypawed it and gave us the 2min crit meta.
People complained about having to work for uptime (even though that's actually fun) so we got the massive hitboxes
People complained about their job being excluded from parties so we got job homogenisation.
SE will always monkeypaw everything
The last remnants of positionals are next on the chopping block.
I'm a casual and I'd rather have the ARR meta.
Make rangeds have to choose between giving MP, TP or magic damage, and give them healer LB's back since the last time ranged LB was useful was on fricking E4S.
Make healing GCD based again, add mechanics that play with healing like Leviathan, make healer damage AoE's absolute nukes that drain the frick out of your MP bar, make piety give MP again instead of always having 10000 MP, make the fairy great again.
>Japanese todd howard but without charisma
>Telling the truth, ever
Because they kept repeating for ages that the big bad raiders are at fault and they now can't accept the reality.
>"yoshida and the devs always know better!"
>the same yoshida and devs that said DRG was fine in final coil and didn't need armor buffs to survive so they will not make any changes. even though players were refusing to bring DRGs to raids
>a month later emergency patches the game to increase the amount of magic resist and armor on DRG armor pieces
lol. lmao.
>>"yoshida and the devs always know better!"
They know why they made changes better than we do, that's for sure. If they say that they dumbed down the game to appeal to "intermediates" then who are we to argue? We can understand better the effect and outcome of changes, but not the intent behind them.
>create a new system because all players wanted things to line up
>2 Min window and homogenization to solve problem of players
>Hardcore players get mad at the thing they asked for
>mid tier players and lower do not care
Reads more like Hardcore players fricked themselves over while the average player just slots into the 2 min meta does there content and comes back next patch.
The main developer of the game told you to your face why they did what they did and you're still saying otherwise
You're like a leftist troon, the truth is in your face and you're deciding to live a lie
Yoshida lies a lot though, this cannot be refuted.
I didn't ask for troony discord raiders to read off of their script
The change was made with casuals in mind and now you are coping and going on tangents because you can't face reality
As I said, you are the same as the leftist troons that have reality and facts in their face that then decide to live a lie
Yes I'm sure he's being truthful THIS time despite his long years of lies told and talking out of his ass.
Lying about content or changes coming in the future is entirely different from lying about why some changes happened.
And why the frick he would lie when casualising jobs so that more people would try harder content is logical thing.
The only EW change made with casuals in mind was Relic Weapons
and literally nobody would care about that if we still got a bozja.
Absolutely fricking destroyed.
Even if i were anonymous i'd simply stop posting, sis. How embarrasing.
Are you enjoying FC primal summons? What's the latest one you captured?
he says intermediate, and savage has 30% clear rate in japan
you're lying yourself
>Yoshi p would never lied to me because he's my friend
Don't forget that it's literally impossible to make headwear work on Viera and Hrothgar because they have special head models. Oh wait modders did it and did it well.
Remember how 2.0 launched with add-on support? And then it came out in 2.1 instead? And then it was coming before 3.0?
Remember how they never added auto demolition?
Remember how individual housing is separate from FC housing and also cheaper?
Remember when they added Ramuh-egi?
Oh wait LMAO
Don't worry anon, the API for add-ons and other things is right around the corner! It'll come with the release of PS4!
I'm so hype for the HD texture pack Yoshida promised with the dx11 client!!
>But the reason it's like this today is that we've received, in the past, feedback from all over the world saying that the timing of fights were difficult, it was difficult to align skills between classes, we were asked to unify everything, and precisely because we received these requests to homogenize this, we homogenized it".
The developer just told you that they did it because people asked for it. Not just a singular group of people ALL THE FRICKING PEOPLE
>Although hardcore players make up the majority of those who complain about how FF14's combat has become homogenized over the years
This part right here is who is complaining about the changes THEY asked for
> there is a significant portion of players, who we can consider as intermediates, who may not dedicate themselves to the more difficult encounters
These are the people the devs seem to care about
Its not even reading into it
Basically
Everyone wanted things to line up better. They got what they wanted and seemingly some people hate it.
we asked for a cheeseburger with lactose-free cheese, we got a hamburger because they couldn't be arsed to get us lactose-free cheese
When you ask devs to fix things, you should expect its not going to be what you want.
Clipping a problem on hats for your race?
No problem no more hats for anyone!

how come ffxiv went from wow-killer to absolute dogshit in a single expansion?
It didn't. Endspermies don't understand how the expansion cycle has worked for a decade.
>spend an entire expansion cycle doing nothing but removing content
>ITS ALWAYS WORKED THIS WAY SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP YOU'RE AN ENDSPERM SHUT UP IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH OCEANIA
I accept your concession.
Content you don't like is still content.
Content that is copied 1:1 from another part of the game while removing content that is not copied 1:1 from another part of the game results in a net negative of genuine content therefore content was removed. Not just relatively by comparing the patch cycle of one expansion to another, but objectively by comparing the game prepatch to the game postpatch.
Covid ended and people realized they have better things to do than play an MMO obsessively, with newcomers not realizing how this game works for patches and ecelebs getting easy bait clicks for it.
>Fanfest tomorrow
>No one is excited
What killed this game?
Nothing?
Uncertain future has people giving Dawntrail the suspicious eye for now. It's up to Yoshida to prove they can tell another story.
The focus in singleplayer
is there something to be excited for?

I wish someone taught an army of bots to do this, fill ranked cc with them and analyze how long it takes SE to intervene. I think it would be funny.
they haven't done anything about the homosexuals with instant reaction CC from using cheat plugins to stop you from limit breaking.
they will likely ignore it forever.
They would care if all those cheaters infest JP servers.

Am i in bizzaro world?
You'd be surprised. The amount of casuals who think the should remove wings from PLD because it's "useless." Casuals say a lot of dumbshit and Japan are the main problem with streamlining everything, not raiders you fricking mong.
They're going to make PoA into an instant pop instead of channel, you KNOW it's coming. I don't like abilities extending 30y but that's where we are now. Push button and don't think.
eh I don't care about the distance buff if it lets them make fights like p10s
P10S isn't that good, the VA is the main reason people enjoy it. Besides, everyone uses the one-platform strat since week 1. Maybe they should make smaller bosses, I'm so sick of these gigahomie hitboxes and I have been since Eden'a Promise.
Gigahomie hitboxes I feel are going to be here to stay, you really think square isn't going to double down on EW's moronation? I expect DT to be a complete fricking mess with them just milking the money to spread it out into more Forspoken tier failures.
Positionals are going away too.
I don't, I just wish things could be better.
At this point they may as well.
The hitboxes are not THAT huge in the last 1.5 patches tbf
They are still huge but not like in 6.1-6.3
I still remember seeing omega ultimate and laughing that full uptime was possible during hello world.
I think my personal favorite was doing reclears again after the patch came out and seeing the fricking scholar bubble now fitting an entire football field inside of it. It's hilarious how big shit is now.
Yes you moron.
I've played with my casual FC for YEARS and they always asked for shit like this because buffs and timers were complicated to them.
Pull your head out of the sand and fricking talk to people that play the game.
What I'm getting from posts like these is that you people are socially inept and play solo while talking to no one so you have no idea what anyone thinks.
I had some casual in the 24 man yesterday say RPR is a super hard calculator job.
Casuals will never stop complaining.
Why do parsetrannies act like the game was ever more than botted rotations
They even made programs to tell them what to do in raids because "stand on this corner when the boss turns red" is too hard to remember
They were, but having more buttons to press at right times added illusion of depth and illusion of fun. Artificial fun is still fun.
So, who gaslit SE into dumbing down the game?
The only "people" who they actually take feedback from.
The japanese.
Everyone. The casuals, the sweatlords, and the devs themselves.
>hit all the mentor conditions except for lv90 healer+role quest after i got just got 1500 commendations

i hear even the mentor network chat is absolute garbage, good thing i can just ignore ever bothering with this shit
thanks, but im sticking to retail WoW.
Conspiracy theory: We keep losing skills and having everything dumbed down to pander to Japanese controller users who mostly play on their Playstations.
Controller is fine, you could fit the most bloat-heavy HW/SB era jobs on a modern controller setup, including stuff like potions, food, and levequest macros.
I agree it's fine but making everything even simpler directly helps them regardless.
I'm done respecting this content
don't know why it took me this long
MMO Minion? or is it a plugin?
https://puni.sh/api/repository/veyn
Can you tell a moron how to use this, is it for XIVlauncher or separate
it's an extra dalamud repository, add it to your experimental settings
It's obvious that they are casualising content so that more people would try hard content, people denying that must be moronic. It's quite a simple thing, not to mention everything being on 2 minute timer would make in theory balancing shit easier.
This is what it is. Yoshida wants XIV to be a subscription VN, just look what he did to XVI. Remember Easy and Very Easy options being added to instances? He's courting an audience of people who don't want to play the game.
>so that more people would try hard content
And then they're literally stating that this itself is causing a new problem. If a casual doesn't want to try a Savage or Extreme, they will not do it. If someone doesn't have the friends and know-how to go beyond expectations, all these changes to accommodate for adapting newbies into the fold mean absolutely nothing overall. There's a very, very small percentage of people in the world that can clear an Ultimate of the entire playerbase, and most of them are still cheaters that made Yoshida question if it's even worth creating them still. Right now, I can buy all of the Diadochos and easily grind up a Manderville weapon, never go for a single augmented piece of gear, and do all non-hardcore content, and that's what more concentrated and intense casual players will peak at before fricking off; most won't even reach that point.
But i dont want to do "hard content". I want to run around a huge world and do quests with other human beings. You knoe, play an mmorpg?
Sorry anon but you're not japanese so your opinion doesn't matter.
>Pint got paid to leave FFXIV for Genshin
>Makes a sponsored Genshin video after a 6 month hiatus
>Get's next to no views in a day compared to his FFXIV or WOW videos
What's next for his career now that the FFXIV curse has finally gotten him like all the other grifters?
I forgot he even existed.
Did he finally accept his troony status or does he still claim it's because he's a "theater kid"? He's been questionable ever since WoW.
>I forgot he even existed.
>Did he finally accept his troony status or does he still claim it's because he's a "theater kid"? He's been questionable ever since WoW.
He met up with F1nnst5r (who's been at least indirectly linked to a literal pedo group) at Twitchon in earlier this summer after being groomed via twitter once he started crossdressing publicly. There were even people in his chat talking about his egg "cracking" or whatever.
The only other thing that's happened is he quietly joined Mythic Talent, one of Asmon (one of the countless vultures who steals and reuploads his content in full) many ventures. So now not only did he sell out to miHoyo, he sold out to Asmoncorp on top of that. Literally working for the guy who steals from him (I dont bring that up for no reason, Pint has even gone on record saying reaction videos don't actually help them but that he doesnt care because he likes to see people watch his videos but that's obvious cope).
His future at this point is being groomed into taking HRT by twitter trannies, while his viewcount will only go down as his content grew stale and he just exists for react leeches to profit off of and he's too much of a cuck to do anything about it, while he's now at the poin tof having to grift genshin becaues he cant grift WoW or FFXIV anymore.
So anyway what I'm trying to say is just be happy you aren't Pint, no matter how shitty your life is right now just be glad you weren't born as Pint.
Grim
>indirectly
I've kept up with this and he was directly in contact with an actual porn addict troon who got off to 'p and grooming children.
The other acquaintance, friend, whatever, was also in DMs fantasizing about the same things.
These people are actual evil.
This man was cucked out of crystal rank in S7 so hard he basically quit XIV. Then again, CC on primal isn't pretty aids, you have to learn to dodge all the revival and rumble trannies, and most make a habit of throwing matches out of spite then climbing back up like Xiao Longbao who constantly fluctuates between top 100 and platinum every season. Climbing on crystal or aether is way easier because you have fewer schizos to deal with.
I watched about 2 minutes of that. Absolutely stank of paid promotion and forced praise.
I don't care about any of your schizo ramblings, post lewds.

At least pvpBlack folk learned humility after a few seasons of wintrading.
Wintrading only got worse, albeiteverthough.
At this point I wish diversion, TP and MP management was back. I want to do something during the fights instead of mindlessly pressing buttons.
>complaining about hitboxes
>not about boss teleporting to middle for every mechanic, removing half of the tank's job
Casuals asked for that btw.
I mean yes, casual not knowing how to position boss properly fricks up the whole thing.
Freaking casuals that dont even raid or know what pentamelding is asked for jobs to get gutted for a content they don't even do, reeeeeeee!
Boss positioning used to be relevant in casual content before ShB, so yes boss positioning being gone is a result of casual wiping parties.
Yes they did, too many buttons and it was too confusing
They also felt stupid when they would press their buff button and it wouldn't line up with the other buffs
Tank positioning was relevant for multiple expansions but casuals kept fricking it up and wasting people's time in raids/24 mans so they changed it
Accessibility is king for a company trying to maximize players and profit
yes
the average tank in roulettes and 24 mans is a moron
now we all have to suffer because the average player is a moron
Even the tankbusters became much easier to manage, so essentially tank has no real job anymore and they could be any other dps.
>somehow tanks STILL frick up tank mechanics
As casual I don´t play tank, so I don´t care.
Tank is pretty much as casual as you get now. Better queue times, don't have to think about "complicated" rotations at all, and all you really have to do is sit there and mitigate while occasionally moving so that someone doesn't eat shit with you- and they're expected to move away more than you are. It's actually kind of hilarious how a melee DPS is in more danger most of the time than the main tank.
Their rotation might be not complicated but who the frick thought the DRK burst phase was good only to then do LESS DAMAGE than any other tank.
That's only in the last 2 patches, in the majority of EW they were the tanks that shit out the most damage.
how short is your memory? drk was busted for dps through 6.3. everything else got buffed.
Doing Thordan Unreal made me realize why they changed the bosses so they always teleport to the center.
Yes, it's because tank jobs attract the most braindead people in the game
Doing Thordan Unreal made me have fun again
Need more fights like that
>casuals asked for this
>no raiders asked for this
THE JAPANESE ASKED FOR IT
THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS
YOUR ANECDOTAL EXPERIENCE FROM YOUR OWN CASUAL/RAIDING FRIENDS DOES NOT MATTER, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT JAPANESE
The casual Japanese asked for it*
I don't fricking care whether it was japanese casuals or japanese hardcore players, that's not the point
The point is that they only take feedback from bugmen
>le community team is le dev team
I accept your concession
They have never made a change to the game client itself as a result of non-japanese feedback.
>They have never made a change to the game client itself as a result of non-japanese feedback.
Biggest surprise of the current patch is cloud server for overpopulated NA
That's their internal analytics, not players.
Yeah because people totally weren't crying about shitty servers cap, DC wide 17k player queue cap, crystal queues or anything of the sort for years now
Ignore this moronic argument from 5.4+ shbabs that don't remember anything what the game was like during 5.0 and before.
None of these people know the raider seethign got to the point where square had GMs watching FFlogs schizos and savage raiders on twitch and banning them just based on the stream evidence simply for being absolute homosexuals to everyone else in the game.
Liked the episode where this guy turned himself into a burger avatar and started screaming poggies.
>Yoshi: We decided to make the cool downs homogenized and strictly on 60/120 seconds to be more engaging and accessible to our casual audience
>Average Gankertard: WHY WHY DID RAIDERS DO THIS WHY WHY WHY

Savage raids are casual content in Japan.
This is true. They fricking queue for it blindly like any other duty.
>blindly
They use DF macros and stick to those macros. There's no topsy chuckleBlack person or braindead mariobraindead or JP(not actually used by JP btw) strat discourse. That's saved for PF. If you don't follow the macro you are blacklisted by the whole DC.
Sounds based why doesn't every DC adopt this?
Because NA and EU are subhuman regions.
EU does this, only NA can't because snowflakes there refuse to look at chat lest someone calls them morons and hurts their feefees
NA is physically incapable of conceptualizing 1/2 roles. have to do the marker dance every time and they'll still frick it up.
Japanese people are used to reading macros because their whole fricking language is in DF macro language. Goddamn I wish I could immediately understand macros.
>dev want to herd players into raiding because that's how he always played mmos
>"actually sweety, its the players fault, not my friend Yoshi p"
Okay bro.
the game was already super homogenized in ShB, following on from SB which already dumbed down the changes from HW
are you seriously telling me EW is even more braindead?
EW is literally just ShB 2.0, they doubled down on the changes made in that expansion.
Yes it is, for example currently melees don't have to think about uptime because of massive hitboxes.
Yes, and DT will be even moreso.

pspspsp
I only have it on MCH because I figured it fit the tech gunner job ngl I might change it
Have a more appropriate DRG glamour, new 24 man gear
For lala it should come with the crotch region removed for easier access.
Every set should be made with that in mind for lala

I wish yoshit-piss puts NPCs in alliance raids or more NPC-themed dungeons so I can always be with her. No, I will not mod her, her body and outfit choices are perfect and if you can't handle her at that, then you don't deserve her on bed.
