The MSQ wasn't even that bad, all things considered. HW by comparison is really slow until you meet Hraesvalgr, then slows down again immediately after the Vault.
Hit or Miss
I guess I never miss!
Stormblood was the same shit as everything before and after it. What era of FFXIV you regard fondly depends entirely on how retarded you are and how many expansion cycles you've been through before you realize every patch is the same recycled content over and over again with zero creativity or soul put into it.
stormblood sucked ass
Says Barry with a hate-boner against FFXIV.
At least Stormblood had the Monster Hunter collaboration.
>best thing about an expansion is from another game
LOL
This, Fuck Al’Ahmigo
Those uppity dune coons and their dumb revolution plot was boring as fuck to play
In terms of content, I agree... had more stuff to do to keep my FC invested into playing the game all together and doing stuff. At ShB there was a slow decline but still the MSQ carried... Now in EW, I'm in a ghost FC and kinda not motivated to play solo...
> No male-character pandering
Yeah fuck the.. 50% of women that make up the playerbase lol
Apparently SE has finally figured out that women and gays exist and have a lot of disposable income.
Oh yeah they did, which is why the pretty much only pander to them anymore while leaving the male portion of the playerbase with fuck all aside from Alphinaud's brother.
> 50% of women that make up the playerbase
Depending on your definition of "women" that might be a load of shit or very accurate.
I firmly believe a lot of men are so obsessed with trannies online because it's just the current version of "there are no girls online".

imagine unironically complaining about atma grinds after they've been nerfed into the dirt. You have no right to complain compared to what we OG stormblood enjoyers had to suffer through
Just only noticed how female-biased Stormblood is because of this post. I am just past Yanxia. And it's decent enough of a story, without pandering, with developed characters that I just don't care and I like them.
It's like with Dion.
Why is it okay when Nips do it??
Nips aren't doing it because of idpol agendas. Look at ARR too, all the city leaders are women but it doesn't come off as bullshit because they're written as actual characters with massive flaws and not propaganda mouthpieces. Dion being a fag is purely so that he had a secret to keep which the augurs picked up on to give a reason his dad was suHispanicious.
>all the city leaders are women
...huh, I've been playing this game since 2.3 and I've only just realized that now. Really speaks to them not shoving it in peoples faces
You are now aware that the 3 starting cities were all ruled by women. Ishgard is the only city state with a male leader and it was a xenophobic, religious, shithole until we fixed it.
it's still ruled by a male though
Yeah, one of the two male rulers, the other one being Hien the drooling retard.
If a western game did the same you would seething about muh strong women leaders
Hien is a good ruler, though.
padjals arent humans
You aren't wrong, but Merlwyb is only one of the 3 whose actually in charge.
All three starting cities are bordering on collapse at the beginning of the story.
Nanamo is a willfully ignorant defeatist retard who decided when she was a child that everyone just wanted her as a figurehead to control so it never mattered if she learned to rule properly anyway but she sits there and stomps her feet about Ala Mhigans not getting enough free shit anyway. She was literally moments away from completely dissolving the Ul'dahn government and proposing that the people just sort it out and vote in a democracy.
Merlwyb is a dictator who rules through fear and has overstayed her term limit by over double the legal limit. She continues a treaty-breaking war started by her predecessor so she can steal mineral resources from the Kobolds in order to fight Garlemald, putting her entire country at risk because of Titan, instead of just allying with the fucking Kobolds and promising to defend them against Garlemald in exchange for the necessary resources.
Kan-E is literally a useless figurehead only capable of doing what the Elementals allow her to do, enforcing the will of insane lovecraftian demigods.
Basically you're a fucking idiot.
>Merlwyb is a dictator who rules through fear and has overstayed her term limit by over double the legal limit. She continues a treaty-breaking war started by her predecessor so she can steal mineral resources from the Kobolds in order to fight Garlemald
This was a stupid point when varris brought it up and it's a stupid point now.
Kobolds have no rights to any of the lands and I wish the devs would stop dindu with the fucking beast tribes.
Literally all of their leaders are/were zealots before the enlightened races came there.
The Kobolds lived on Vylbrand before the founders of Limsa arrived, and a treaty was established to grant them the north half of the island and everything underground, while Limsa had the rights to all the fertile farmland in the south part of the island. That's 1.0 lore. The Kobolds were never zealots, they just wanted to stop being killed. Titan was a gentle god until the time of ARR when they'd finally had enough and he went full rage mode. At the time of 1.0 he was the sort of primal who would unsummon himself and grant his aether to revive the people who came to kill him because he hated violence.
Beastman propaganda. The only solution is to kill them all.
>UMM NO IT WAS OUR LAND
Yeah retard and they were already doing sacrifices before they showed up. Blaming the enlightened races for them embracing their nig culture is retarded.
You'd be better off blaming the ascians for showing them how to actually summon shit. To begin with their "if you don't contribute everything to the hoard you get kicked out or killed" dumbfuckery was already a system in place long before the roes showed up.
For fucks sake even in the sahagin beast tribe he says he doesn't care if leviathan tempers lominsans and thinks it's based but he just wants a home to raise more of his spawn.
They completely retconned beast tribes and made them huge fucking dindus.
>Yeah retard and they were already doing sacrifices before they showed up.
Titan wasn't even summoned until 15 years ago, lorelet.
>You'd be better off blaming the ascians for showing them how to actually summon shit.
The Kobolds only summoned Titan because Merlwyb's predecessor broke the treaty. Merlwyb could have removed the threat at any time just by stopping the attacks and promising to defend them against Garlemald.
>To begin with their "if you don't contribute everything to the hoard you get kicked out or killed" dumbfuckery was already a system in place
They're commies but that's a different issue. The point here is that Merlwyb was needlessly putting her country at risk of being flattened by a primal when there was a far easier option on the table.
>For fucks sake even in the sahagin beast tribe he says he doesn't care if leviathan tempers lominsans and thinks it's based but he just wants a home to raise more of his spawn.
Yeah, the Sahagins are violent nagger scumbags. The Kobolds aren't.
>hurdur why doesn’t she just make le peace
Actual retard on so many levels.
Moron. There was already peace up until a year before she took office. The Kobolds wanted peace, the Garlean beastman genocide threat was on the horizon. All Merlwyb wanted was the resources in order to combat Garlemald. The peace literally writes itself.
Yes RETARD I know they failed at summoning titan, they failed because THE ASCIANS TAUGHT THEM HOW TO SUMMONG HIM, but they were already TRIBAL before then. Can you fucking read?
>They're commies but that's a different issue.
No that's literally the entire issue, they're basically hardcore stalinist, yet the game tries to paint them as innocent little fur fucks when their society was already viciously authoritarian.
They add zero nuance to the lominsans by the way, they're just dumb colonizers who encroached on the peaceful land of the kobolds. Yet they never mention how kobold society functions and is utter dogshit.
Don't get me wrong, I love the game and the way they handled tempering in SHB, but the direction they went with the beast tribes were fucking stupid.
They basically gutted any agency they had and made them innocent tribesmen who did nothing wrong.
This isn't even mentioning the Amaljaa who I'm pretty sure are just straight up racist and we even have the blue Amaljaa telling us the Amaljaa practice a false way and how the blue amaljaa were killed for straying from the way the red ones follow.
>Yes RETARD I know they failed at summoning titan
They didn't fail at summoning Titan, they never attempted to summon Titan because primal summoning wasn't a fucking thing in Eorzea until the Ascians taught it to everyone 15 years ago.
>but they were already TRIBAL before then.
Has nothing to do with anything, they were minding their own business.
>when their society was already viciously authoritarian.
Their society is their problem. Until Merlwyb continued to make it Limsa's problem by poking them.
>Yet they never mention how kobold society functions and is utter dogshit.
You're literally talking about their society because they explain in the game how it functions. But none of that shit matters. If they want to be oppressive commies in their own little holes that's not Limsa's problem. It IS Limsa's problem when their dictator keeps provoking a primal instead of just making an alliance over their common enemy.
>This isn't even mentioning the Amaljaa who I'm pretty sure are just straight up racist and we even have the blue Amaljaa telling us the Amaljaa practice a false way
The Flamefangs cult was previously a very small, insanely zealous group of Ifrit worshipers. So their version of Ifrit they summoned was the temper-happy convert or die god reflecting their cult. And the singular focus on Ifrit caused all those tempered by him to abandon all other traditions and aspects of their culture that didn't revolve around Ifrit. That's what the Brotherhood of Ash was fighting against.
In the original ARR storyline the cataclysm caused by Bahamut had made it so that if Merlwyb didn't start taking more land and resources from the Kobolds, her people were going to starve and die. She freely acknowledges what she's doing is wrong in the ARR questline and notes that, ultimately, she has to do what is best for her people and fuck over the Kobolds, which is what her whole argument with Y'shtola is about. It was a really well written conflict as originally presented, neither the Lominsans or the Kobolds were really in the wrong, both were simply fighting for survival. Then ShB handwaves the lack of resources and land and just makes it so peace could've always been achieved and they just needed to talk it out, despite that directly contradicting ARR lore. But then again ShB and EW destroyed virtually all of the original trilogies world building lore by the time they were done, so yeah.
>In the original ARR storyline the cataclysm caused by Bahamut had made it so that if Merlwyb didn't start taking more land and resources from the Kobolds, her people were going to starve and die.
This doesn't add up because she was already doing this in 1.0. It had been going on for 15 years by the time of ARR.
I know what all those abilities are and I've played this game for much, much longer than you. What's your point here? Do you think those skills weren't used? If you never used Erase then you were dead weight. Break was good not only for deep dungeon but in situations where you just died and had no MP. Do you think skills are useless if they don't make the number on your ACT window go up? I notice you didn't put Addle or Apoc on your list. Why's that? Do they defeat your argument that non-damaging skills are useless? Dumb fucking parsetranny, have a nice day. Stop fucking up RPGs.
not an argument
She flat out says in the ARR quest line peace is not possible because if the Lominsans don't take more resources they will run out of food and space. Instead of actually addressing this plot point in ShB they just handwave it entirely and pretend they could've easily made peace at any time, they just weren't willing to do it, because the writers couldn't be bothered actually working out the story set up in ARR.
But the Kobolds don't hold any land in the fertile south part of Vylbrand. And again, that war was already ongoing for 15 years by that point. It has nothing to do with survival.
According to what, you? The actual in game lore states otherwise, your head canon is irrelevant.
The in game lore states exactly what that posts says
Just stop replying to that guy, I have to assume he's some rp fag that fucks kobolds in his own made up lore.
>If they want to be oppressive commies in their own little holes that's not Limsa's problem
It is when retards like you act like they were just innocent kobolds minding their own business.
They simply weren't.
>NO UHHH ACTUALLY THIS WAR FOR RESOURCES THAT PUTS OUR OWN CITIZENS IN NEEDLES DANGER IS GOOD BECAUSE WE'RE BRINGING DEMOCRACY!
American?
Nice deflection retard, are you gonna acknowledge that you just spent 50 minutes acting like kobolds were peace loving smurfs who didn't do anything wrong?
or just call me a mutt or some shit.
My argument was always that the Kobolds were their own problem and nobody else's and that Merlwyb was needlessly putting her nation in danger by provoking them when there was an easy alliance on the table. Retard.
No it wasn't, them summoning was inevitable because of ascian meddling, like I said they were already sacrificing people to titan.
It was just a pointless ritual for morale until the ascians made it a tangible threat.
However even if I ignore this the lominsans were well within their right to steal the kobolds shit as they were amoral commie savages.
Even if I ignore THIS the lominsans are under no obligation to respect the kobolds sovereignty or any treaty especially since they know they're a volatile powder keg.
In all scenarios the lominsans are correct in their expansion unless you're a twitter leftist or some shit and you think it's only based when white people die.
The kobold order system is still dogshit so whatever who gives a fuck they oppress their own people anyways atleast when limsans oppress them they actually use their resources
>All three starting cities are bordering on collapse at the beginning of the story.
Ul'dah is the only place that's really bad, and the devs have spent countless hours on content that shows Nanamo maturing and improving.
Though Kan-e is yeah kinda useless.
>Kan-E is literally a useless figurehead only capable of doing what the Elementals allow her to do, enforcing the will of insane lovecraftian demigods.
And there's literally nothing wrong with that.
>UHHHHHH DID YOU JUST HELP A DYING MAN YOU WERE UNAWARE WE'D SECRETLY UNPERSONED?!

And all of them inferior to Venat.
When I was at fanfest I had a discussion about XIV not having introduced a female character to it's main roster (and even losing them) in order to pander to fujos.
And? Did the others agree?
wouldn't know, we were too busy sucking each others girldicks to talk much
initally no, but after asking them when we last had someone female join the scions and after they realised that Ryne, Gaia or Zero did not join they agreed and would like to see another female character added
I did say that there is a strong supporting female cast, but there hasn't been an actual new female character who was added to the group. Whereas male wise we've had Estinien and Graha both actually added and potentially Erenville as he has probably had more screentime than Krile at this point
was Gaia coming into the 6.5 MSQ the first time an alliance raid character made their way into the main story?
sis your g'raha?
First of all she's from the raids, not alliance raids. 2nd of all, how could you forget G'raha the fucker everyone loves?
>First of all she's from the raids, not alliance raids
ah yep, my bad got them mixed up
that's different though, they retroactively made crystal tower mandatory for the MSQ. Haven't done that for Eden ...yet
Alisaie.
it's honestly insane that you can just skip the entire resolution of their story if you don't do the 2.0 raid
I say fuck contentlets, let them suffer
c'mon dude, even in NM that raid was cracked in 2.0. Plus they were still making the dumbass decision to tie the cutscenes in the actual raid, so newbies couldn't get to watch it in real time
I started raiding because I wanted to see that storyline back in 2.0, and I'm glad I did.
>Plus they were still making the dumbass decision to tie the cutscenes in the actual raid, so newbies couldn't get to watch it in real time
Huh? You could watch everything in real time. I did. It's not like the cutscenes were mid-fight.
you meet Alisaie before level 30 in MSQ
She's not a real character at all in ARR besides Coils.

>lost protect

>source: my ass

He's right about Stoneskin which was just renamed to Divine Benison.
Uh bro?
Mostly true, but the MSQ was horrendous dogshit.
who cares about the visual novel part of the game when there was so much to do?
the MSQ is 90% of the reason people play the game
that's only a meme that started with shadowbringers to bring retards in
It's always been a story-driven game mongoloid.
People love HW not because it was such a good expansion content-wise (it was a disaster in more cases than not) but because its story was nice.
spoken like a true shadowbaby
Why can't our Rowena be like this?
how annoying is it to get through the crafting for this side story?
Crafting can be kinda annoying since you need to do expert recipes near the end but at least FSH chads have it easy.
Just do the fishing rod, it's braindead.
i love how stormbabs pretend people didn't hate their shit expansion with the poster jobs being jokes and their "big new content" being diadem but again
>the poster jobs being jokes
Just like every other expansion tbh.
>If you like girls you're a seam--ACK
Go back gachafag.
Stormblood story was horrid. Had to drag myself to the finish line. They should have split the expansion in half. Raids were pretty cool. Shadowbringers was just so much better to level through.

EW has the most schizophrenic writing of any expansion
>MOVE ON FROM OLD
>ENJOY NEW
>KILL OLD

>...but the old scions will stay because we created Trusts like retards and now they'll never change or leave
I'm not even asking for them to be killed off or removed completely, but I was hoping we'd get 1-2 as focus buddies per expansion, giving them room to develop more. Instead its the exact same old same old.
i was totally hoping for a timeskip or something after the battle with zenos
like the wol has been away for years and didnt return, and when you come back you get adult levellieur bros
They would never do a timeskip and grow up the twins. YoshiP knows people will riot if Ali and Alphi are suddenly proper giraffes.
There's gotta be a reason they're hiding Alphinaud in the DT trailers
>yfw Alphi is a full size elezen now
>yfw everyone fantas to melezen
Because he most likely stands next to Krile in her new look or Legs and they didn't want to remove them just to show him.
Because Krile is on the boat with him and Meteor and they can't show her since she's wearing the new caster AF set.
>Meteor
That's not his name, they just called him "Meteor Survivor" in that piece of media, WoL is the most accurate name.
not if Alisae takes after her mother
Just make them half giraffes. Small kids is even worse than full giraffes. Early 20s would be perfect.
There's no reason to timeskip the twins other than pleasing novelty-obsessed morons that check wiki pages for character ages before looking at hentai.
>oooh what if these two characters had models that look like every other fucking elf
No. Shut up.
Maybe you shouldn't have the attention span of an ant.
Ubiquitous OGCD healing is a correctable mistake. There are only 3 healers and 1 pallete swap in the game at the moment. Even then, they share the same core.
The final myth raid is such a disappointment in every aspect it isn't funny.

The Thaleia music is great THO
It could've been so much better if it wasn't just Radiance/Rhythm of the Realm.
The entirety of Myths should've been harder than Ivalice. And Thaleia should've been 5 bosses. We're dealing with the 12 here, not the 11 and the amalgamate. I loved the raids for the music but the difficulty was so low I tripped over it.
Both Euphrosyne and Thaelia are trash. Aglaia wasn't great but it was an ok start.
Everything's better than Endwalker.
What a complete piece of shit.
Story is shit, job design is shit, side content is shit, alliance raid is shit, mediocre savages, one good ultimate, the other shit and bugged, even the visuals and ost feel like a step down
I thought 6.1 was the best time I had in XIV in a long time. MSQ was great, the 24 man was great (why the fuck did they not have a music piece for each god like they did with Nald'thal?) and the criterion wasn't obnoxiously hard.
damn, that book turned her from cat to donkey
I was so excited and pleased in 6.1. Even Troia was a cool ass dungeon. Then we started actually unveiling the plot and it kinda fell off a cliff.
That entire patch felt like it was made by a different team. You had so many different answer possibilities, they had a lot of fun with the animations and it felt way more voiced than the other patches. I genuinely hope DT will be a lot like that, but it looks so awful with their artificial "civil war" drama and the possibility of having (your) favourite characters being on the opposing team while having to hang around with the absolute dredges.
6.1 honestly feels like it was made before DT development really began in full or something, and then the rest of the patches had to divert work to get anything done.
made for cock
They look like girls who fuck amaros.
2/10 lips too small wouldn't throatfuck
predictions for 7.0 job actions? aside from healers getting a nuke+dot upgrade and another superfluous oGCD mit/healing ability.

there's reason to hate all the expansions stories.
I swear EW got the SB treatment of being two expansions fused together
Yes. The devs themselves have said that. They had around 1.5 expacs worth of content and wanted to be done with the zodiark story and move on to something else so they just mashed them together. Anima would have been the 6.0 final boss if they hadn't decided to cut the Garlean expac.
It did, pretty sure they mentioned there was supposed to be one more expansion between ShB and EW, and a lot of the problems of Stormblood are present in Endwalker.
And I'll be honest, I prefer the vibe of Stormblood adventuring around Doma and setting up for the big liberation against Yotsuyu, then using allies gained there to do it in Ala Mhigo, the characters just felt more real than EW, yeah the plot wasn't the best but it was significantly more grounded than EW's bloated universal stakes that only really impacted a small village of elephant people in Thavnir specifically.
>stakes don't feel real
This belongs in the ShB and HW sections.
>porn addict is going to spend a whole thread crying about "fujos" again
I quit at the start of this expansion, should I reinstall purely for Yotsuyu?
I think vertical progression is killing the content variety tbh. Instead of P9-12 every week it should be P1-12. With each raid tier dropping a few specific BIS ilvl gear while everything else is 10 ilvl lower.

On top of that they just blatantly reused the same animations for SMN in SHB.

You mean the last two parts of eureka. Which were still worse than CHADja.
No, anemos and pagos, the first 2
If you post an opinion in any XIV thread, it should be prefaced with if you like Eureka or not. That way we can separate those who enjoy MMOs and adventure from the misanthropic masses who would rather the game just played itself.
if i could figure out how to really get the ball rolling with it maybe i'd like it
Day 1 Eureka was a trip. Everyone was chaining mobs together in giant groups but barely recived any exp or crystals. I'd argue that Bozja and Eureka should be called hardcore content due to the threat of leveling down and losing progress.

Bozja still has people going through it leveling

I had everything leveled before EO came out, but I don't think that's very common. In my Savage static nobody else has everything max.
I think the biggest reason why EO isn't used for leveling is simply because it's not efficient and it's more difficult compared to dungeons. You can actually wipe on the floors if you pull too much, especially if everyone has shit aetherpool. Also the mobs don't just fall over when you look in their direction so it takes more than 10 minutes to clear
I had everything levelled by the time it came out too
You're right about the difficulty, it's not nice to casuals, it has raid attacks that will wipe entire parties on the casual floors
people really think the quality of an expansion is measured by its story
my brah nobody cares about your mickey mouse tier story
tfw no thighlander gf to do treasure maps with
i think eo is actually deader than hoh was in sb which is an accomplishment i guess
It's a little surprising to me. I think the title is cool, the mount is cool, the accessories are cool and personally I found it very fun to solo. I still need to finish PotD solo and I might go back to EO and solo it on different jobs, something I am not planning to do at all for the other DD's
Monsters on the early floors of EO are all hp sponges that can't do shit to you unless you stand in their obvious aoes. Its too boring for people to want to replay it, and too slow to efficiently level.
I dislike how they just took raid design and dumped it in PotD and HoH
I didn't do those for invisible savage mechanics, it's just annoying, I do savage for that
The only reason I dislike Savage is because other people fucking up means a wipe and usually there's nothing I can do about it. In EO I can only blame myself so it's more compelling to do
>the static's resident retard does an easy mechanic wrong for the 4th week in a row, wiping the fight 7 minutes in
>oh boy savage is hardcore. The hardest of all the videogames. amrite guys?
No one can be proud to clear any shit in this forsaken videogame (but necromancer) savage and ultimate it's just artificial difficult for a race of not wanting to fucking killyourself for all the retarded shit others do.
show us your clears, surely you wouldn't be saying that if you had no experience, right?
right?
I can just pull the clears from a random. Do you trully believe me if i post them? That doesn't have anything to do with the argument and you only posted that because there's literally no argument against savage and ultimate being artificial difficulty.

Don't reply to cat tranny, pretty sure he's one of the lalafags trying to stir up shit.
I'm laughing from the sidelines, it's a very cringe exchange
>I dislike how they just took raid design and dumped it in PotD and HoH
This, EO is just a huge knowledge check, nothing else. It is frustrating for people who don't do savage to climb 80 floors just to get oneshot by a mechanic the had no way of knowing and it is boring to people who know it. But that is the entire encounter design philosophy since ShB so I guess the majority of people really love it.
The deep dungeons are the worst content in the game
Deep dungeons would be the best content if the combat wasn't so shitty. They try to do """"RPG"""" combat + action based and failed in both.
- Copy GW2 combat
- Actually buy decent servers instead of a shoebox
Just go play GW2 then instead of XIV
XIV has everything else better outside core combat and the open world/events. Just copying those into XIV would improve it 200%
So you just want GW2 with a XIV coat of paint
Any big raids/trials in GW2 are still ass because of how vomit the ground effects and the general appearance of the game looks like. Just core combat and world events/verticality/flying would be nice.
So why can't you ask GW2 devs to improve on that instead of wanting XIV to change?
It's a lot simpler to buy more powerful servers and change a few lines in code than write a good story and characters.

Every expansion has its ups and downs. If they get rid of the 2 minute meta I'm sure you'll have anons on here in 2 years time fondly looking back "game balance was so much better", "it was easy to coordinate in PF", "my job feels weird now", etc.
Issues with the 2m meta aren't the actual 2m meta itself.
The issues with it are:
>jobs are boring outside of the burst
>game is ridiculously punishing for misalignment now, even more so death, you can't recover from missing a burst window, and missing one will fuck all your future ones
I have no idea how you fix either of these things.

>PHANTOM TRAIN? I HOPE WE CAN SUPLEX IT XD
This one is acceptable as long as it's without the XD. Unlike the others at least it tells you that the homosexual making the comment actually played at least one FF game before.
Suplexing Phantom Train is the most basic normalfag knowledge about FF, they all cite it to try and pretend they play video games. It's the "DUDE NAVI IS ANNOYING XD" of FF.
First time I'm hearing about it, but if you say so...
Sabin has a special command equivalent to modern day Meteor Strike but was translated as Suplex in FFIII NA (FFVI).
He could use it in a boss called Phantom Train, a boss fight where 3 characters are running away from the mentioned Phantom Train but somehow are faster than it (???). But the suplex bit stood as more uncanny than this.
Recently in the Pixel Remaster of FFVI, the ability to Suplex/Meteor Strike the Phantom Train was removed, suggesting it was never intended to be possible, but reinstated after fan outcry because of muh le meme.
I meant first time reading it was "most basic normalfag knowledge", not first time reading about Suplex and the Phantom Train.
Suplexing the train is just one of those memes that gets repeated so often and so consistently that people who never touched FFVI know about it and they continue the repetition because they think it's some kind of semi-obscure knowledge that gives them gamer cred. If you've been around vidya communities online you can predict that mentioning FFVI or trains will make someone pop in and go "AND DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN LITERALLY SUPLEX A FREAKING TRAIN"
By the time you reach the Train you probably have 3 Blitze, and even if you had Phoenix Strike the command used to be iffy to pull out.
Chances are you'll probably Pummel and Suplex the thing too see what has bigger damage and then keep reusing.
Isn't aura bolt stronger than suplex vs the train though? Been a while since I played 6.
Haven't touched 6 in a long while, but Aura Bolt uses MPow instead of Attack.
If the Train happens to be weak to its element, it probably takes more damage at that point, depending on its defense. It's something like Fire or Holy.
Phantom Train is undead so he's weak to both
Yes.
I don't care for idol themes either, but more than anything it didn't sell the fantasy part of Final Fantasy.
Again, first time reading about it. I believe you, but I'm 36 and I've never seen or noticed "suplexing the train" being a normalhomosexual flag until this thread. Granted, I don't really seek out FF communities, and I don't use social media or aggregation sites like gayddit, but still... it's not like Cloud's cross-dressing or Squall being an "emo" levels.
I try not to judge, but for me it was a feeling akin to "this is no longer for people like me", and I moved on. Everyone clamored it so after some time I thought for a while "maybe I'm being biased against it" but then X-2's trailers appeared and I thought "I was right all along".
It was exact the same for me, except I still played FFX and BTFO with X-2.
Gameplay-wise it's a fine game, but all that idol shit was too weeb even for me.
I meant first time reading it was "most basic normalfag knowledge", not first time reading about Suplex and the Phantom Train. I've played all the original versions (translated when warranted) of FF1-9, after which I stopped because when I saw and ad for X I thought Tidus looked retarded, so I skipped it. Might give XII a chance some day.
Yeah, I remember back then thinking that dude looked like Meg Ryan and wore the most retarded pair of shorts I've even seen.
But his "water" sword looked cool.

How can she say this while...
... having an ASS like this?
Hardcore hypocrisy. She tells WoL to stand back, observe carefully, then bends over in a perfect 90 degrees angle to "translate" a fucking 5 meters tall mural. She knew what was happening.
But I don't know how you're surprised at all, this is the woman that scolded Thancred for being a bad parent figure for Ryne but then happily talked about spanking WoL in front of her. She must be made to answer. Do it. Do it now. Smite her with your dick, hero. Before she commits yet another cringy attempt at flirti- I mean, another crime.
Fuck off Mhitra. I'm not breeding your sister.
>a fucking 5 meters tall mural.
Oh, so it's basically just as tall as Venat is.
Thanks anon now you've just given me a mental image of Y'shtola and Venat posing for WoL at the same time taking advantage of the height difference.
XIV gameplay is terrible at all levels of content, with alternative things to do being equally dull crafting, an okay at best story, and an absolute faggy mess of a community to interact with. Don't worry about it, its not your fault. mmos are just cursed.
The only thing good about FFXIV it's being a final fantasy game at this point tbqh. After seeing how people behave here i doubt they gonna improve anything ever.
Imagine how kino things would be if we had gotten a full Ala Mhigo expansion, full Othard expansion and now currently a Garlemald expansion. I mean not to say SHB was bad but we didnt need it yet.

Lyse is a good character.
I miss the Stormblood threads on Ganker during release. Everyone having a good time either by genuinely enjoying the story or shitposting, but it was all done in love. Susano-o being a highlight of those threads, everyone enjoying the comfy adventure atmosphere. I hope Dawntrail gives the same feelings.
I don't think its possible for us to go back when we have G'raha tia fanboying over every single thing we do.
We basically are stuck with a group of court jesters that orgasm every time we breathe now.
The cast really needs new faces.
Do players even really enjoy this kind of pampering?
He's been sucking your nuts since ARR.
He's been stuck in the Crystal tower until we unfortunately freed him from it.

Still cute.

No, she's just max-height.

Why were there absolutely zero dragoons in all of Ishgard besides Estinien, when lore wise there's supposed to be an entire army of them (as we see in the Heavensward Trailer)?
anon, your DRG questline?
there are. you see them in the moogle beast tribe quests and the drg job quests
Because Dragoons have such a hideously strict training regimen and quality margin of spearman needed to even begin training to become one and are given such exclusive equipment that they number less than 20
>trailers representing the game accurately
LOL
why do people train so hard when job stones exist
Job stones don’t make you competent look at all the PLD shitters
Job stones aren't perfect and operate on a "meant to be" system where you have an affinity for the job in question, some jobs straight up don't fucking work at all unless you have the stone and the stone likes you like Reaper not coughing up a voidsent contract unless the stone likes you
Job stones need training to give out their secrets. Even the WoL doesn't become an instant level 90 in their job just by picking up a job stone. You still need to level up (i.e. train) to unlock their full potential.
And besides, the majority of job stones are rare and/or restricted to certain groups. The only commonly available ones to an average person are MCH and BLU, and the BLU stone is a scam if you can't do shit like the WoL does and kill your first monster without using a single spell.
Don't forget the MSQ was actually good because it followed the events of HW and also set up a Garlemald expansion. It didn't just randomly throw us into a fucking isekai. It had great characters, it also raised the stakes of the known world. Furthermore, it added some much-needed depth to existing character (mostly the political figures).
It had an actual antagonist that was straight forward and someone to look forward to fighting, people that needed to be actually defeated because they are evil niggas.
Meanwhile trashbringers give us absolutely nothing in terms of world building. "Ascians this, ascians that." and "Even though I'm trillions of years old and powerful enough to create universes I'm going to fight you as a physical thing that can die for the lulz"
Endwalker: "She's not actually evil guys, it was all a misunderstanding. That all of you almost all died for hehe lul xd"

Laugh. Content creators are a cancer that needs to be purged.
I will be so happy when all of these fucking leeches will be gone for good. XIV gets a Mr. Joyful who is so bland and vanilla he doesn7t ruffle any feathers and that is it.
I know these people make money out of this and many of them don't even have any kind of education which could land them a specialized job...
But isn't this shit a little bit too cringy? Holy shit.
I love games, it's been my escapism for most of my life but things like this just feel like they've crossed a line.
People are WAY too easy to manipulate when it comes to games. Metzen is just a corporate puppet now. Hes not your friend. Neither is Yoshida.
maybe it is the streamer who is manipulating his audience with fake reactions for views and subs
Im aware of that too, but this guy has been losing tons of followers so hes not good at it if true.
I don't know this streamer in particular, but he looks like a pretentious pos. And that's bad when you're "working" with video games. You'll have to be either a wholesome friendly dude or some jackass contrarian who shits on most things.
Dude just looks like he things he's better than you because he plays MMOs lol. Probably not going to be the next Pewdiepie.
...and he's going to farm more content when the expansions turn out to be dogshit again
HOLY FUCK ENOUGH ABOUT THESE LITERAL WHO'S.

You were complaining about muh gross kiddie chibis. Cry, twittertroon.

Female suncat or female mooncat?
Female Xaela or female Raen?
Female suncats are products of incest and unless she gets with someone, she'll have to be fucked by daddy
Female Mooncats are deadbeat moms
Female Xalea depends on tribe
Female Raen are fishfuckers
I don't think Mooncats are deadbeat moms, if anything they're probably highly capable mothers since they raise multiple kids with no husband helping out
In lore they don't give a shit about their sons, and just name them a number like they're Charlie Chan.
doesn't mean they're bad mothers, I know I don't give a shit about male mooncats either
The bigger problem is we have barely any lore about mooncats in general and the bits we do are from stuff like the postmoogle where they are whores just looking to get laid. No exaggeration.
That's just cats in general, suncats slut around following an alpha male, mooncats pick and choose

>new level cap will be 100 instead of 99
I dare you to try to defend this.
Level cap of the first Final Fantasy is 50.
To defend or attack something, I first need to care.
They took after one of the best games in the franchise and the cap is going to go beyond 100
I won't defend it, it's shit. I know they're too risk-averse to actually stop at 99 and do horizontal progression instead; the next expansion will be to 110.
>horizontal progression
>>>/vg/
>110
>implying they won't pull a XI and make ilvls and a JP system to prolong the grind
I REALLY want to be excited for the XI raids in yawntrail but I now they will cock it up in a colossal way.
I dare you to defend 99
Gladly:
While the obvious reason is "Because is the level cap of most RPGs", for me it's not only about that, but the fact that (you), i.e. the WoL, is already strong beyond limitation. We're stronger than literally everyone and everything else we've met. At some point, it stops making sense for our growth to be linear; we should start expanding horizontally, so we're stronger not just because of raw stats, but additional, separate strengths.
Granted, this is difficult when we already have every job on the same character, but it's doable, and I do think it should be done.
I cant wait for lv 110+ where they're forced to delete even more old skills and re-add them as current content making even more of the old content even more of a slog!
Wouldn't mind it if they just quit at 100 and add an alternate way of leveling.
100 is a good milestone. Rather that than continue as we are and getting level squished back down to fucking 50 or something.
what's the new magic job

Will there be another pvp battle pass before DT or just the current one? My sub is ending soon and I'm at like 20 or something but can't be assed to grind it out if it will still be around when I come back in the summer.
Stormblood made me quit ffxiv, its so fking boring.
heavensward was bad expansion and only shadowbabies and endwalker kids thinks it is good.
work on your english then work on your bait
You're right.
It's the only expansion with "content" that got removed twice and a raid encounter that nearly killed raiding.
Gonna start Shadowbringers, what am I into for, bros?
The same thing as usual. Slow start with some pacing jank, some lows and some highs.
A bunch of filler and then the excellent level 80 zone.
The best beginning and ending, with an incredibly boring middle that lasts from the end of the first dungeon to the beginning of the penultimate one
>The best beginning and ending
Only really the intro and maybe the first dungeon.
a self-contained isekai narrative with a poochie and a fujo-bait.
for me it cemented my WoL as one of my favorite FF protagonists.
>for me it cemented my WoL as one of my favorite FF protagonists.
Really?
Not saying I disagree or that you're wrong, just curious.
the combination of dark knight quests and warrior of darkness stuff turned her into a character in my eyes rather than a self-insert vehicle. return to eulmore - end of 5.0 is my favorite stretch of questing in the game. a very good use of leveraging your status as a hero to lead the people, even as you fall apart personally, finding a lost friend only to immediately lose them and defying that event. seeing what the WoL means to everyone, source or norvrandt, past or future.
WoL might be a really simple stock anime character, but I like how they interact with the world and plot of 14.
now granted I haven't played 8, 10, 11, 12, or 16, I've only made it partway through 9 and 15. I like Bartz, Locke, and Cloud. I just see 14's WoL as a pretty good character.
>for me it cemented my WoL as one of my favorite FF protagonists.

Kafkatrapping is unironically the mark of a narcissist who wants to quash dissent, b t w.
>i'm not that anon I'm just incredibly offended on his behalf and he's strangely absent!
LOL
Your WoL is not a character
Of course I'd call you out for randomly pouncing on some anon offering his opinion without hostilities to try and namecall and armchair diagnose him. Are you touched in the head?
>STOP MAKING FUN OF ME FOR BEING SO SELF-CENTERED THAT I THINK MY PERSONAL CREATE-A-CHARACTER IS THE GREATEST FF PROTAG EVER!
LOL
Your WoL is not a character
>more unsolicited schizo rambling
Sad that your life amounts to nothing but this.
Yeah, fair, I guess. But shitposters who get (You)s by acting retarded to someone saying nothing at all of note are the lowest form of poster.
>But shitposters who get (You)s by acting retarded to someone saying nothing at all of note are the lowest form of poster.
And yet you engage with it. Who's the bigger retard in that case? Just laugh at him and move on, lol.
I engage with it because it's pathetic to try and get attention by attacking randos who say nothing controversial at all. That's all.
What a brave little white knight you are! Wow you're so strong and tough! Oh my gosh you're just like the Warrior of Light! Everyone gather round and start jerking! The Warrior of Light is here!
>implying it's not just a bored shitposter farming easy (you)s
Babe wake up new C-word dropped.
I wouldn’t call the WoL one of the best FF protagonists but I do personally consider them my favorite silent, blank slate nothing protagonist
I agree they aren't the best, I just like them a lot. Me saying it cemented her as one of my favorites means I can't actually see myself replaying the game without her in it, or making different choices, limited as they are.
A good but completely overrated story. (Its fans ignore all problems it might have and pretend only the positives exist)

Yeah, I'm thinking based
I miss Stormblood's AST like you wouldn0t believe, Shadowbringers came and it gave me genuine physical pain while playing it and I quitted the game since.
>DNC mains
>mained by Zepla
confirmed
the amount of times I see a dancer refuse to use their devilment during technical step windows is way too high.
That's on top of the tech step being off by a whole 20-30 seconds.
>Lose something like 5/6 seconds of Devilment doing your Simon Says minigame
DNC was my first 90, and I still know nothing about it's rotation and opener
you aren't supposed to devilment first dumbass. do the tech step then weave devilment
I'm a meleefag so I'd never main DNC.
But I have considered unlocking it and occasionally playing it when I'm lazy and just want comfy play.
Ranged play without casting seems so relaxed.
which melee? I tried getting into DNC before switching to tank because my static needed one but the job is unbelievably braindead as fuck.
>Bro you know what would be really based
>SKILL TREES!
>What's your guys's favorite FF protag?
>I like Cloud! His search for his true identity among Sephiroth's mindgames is really compelling.
>For me it's Squall. The character arc he goes through as he comes to admit that he only pushes people away because he's afraid of losing them is touching and relatable.
>FOR ME? OH HUN YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS... FOR ME IT'S... ME! MY CHARACTER! MY PERSONAL CHARACTER IN FINAL FANTASY XIV WHO I CREATED! CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT? HUH? WELL UHH GET THIS I IMAGINED THAT WHEN THE LIGHTWARDEN LIGHT WAS KILLING MY CHARACTER THAT Y'SHTOLA CAME IN MY ROOM AND THERE WAS A REALLY TOUCHING MOMENT WHERE THEY CONFESSED TO EACH OTHER NO IT NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENED BUT I IMAGINED I MEAN HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE ME? DID YOU PLAY THE GAME I MEAN ALL THE CHARACTERS LOVE ME IT'S REALLY JUST SO SWEET!
2015 called, it wants its strawman back.
Don't give it attention. It's clearly desperate.
>makes secondaries break down into an absolute rage
Loporrits are fucking based. Everyone who had a little bitch tantrum about them is a confirmed wowfugee.
Wrong picture
it'd be great if instead of just adding more buttons to already bloated kits (except SMN) they just gave us optional actions/upgrades. the old role action system was a neat idea.
they should add more buttons and pvp main auto combo already
>pvp main auto combo
makes more sense to just rework most combos to branch and adjust their effects accordingly, pve combos would make every melee job feel like bard.
SMN is bloated, but it's because it has every spell x2 as AoE with different animations
true, ruby/topaz/emerald ruin III and tri-disaster shouldn't exist and should be upgraded directly to rites/catastrophes at level 54 and 72.
Tri-Disaster's animation is cool and I like seeing it on the rare occasion dungeon pulls are slow enough that I actually have to use it.
it is but the name doesn't make sense. they should make it randomly apply a +10% fire/wind/earth resistance down debuff and incorporate it into SMN's main rotation.
Summoner has half as many buttons as black mage and not even 5% of black mage's gameplay complexity.
Make summoners complex and cool like how they were in FFXI. Physick should work like vercure, primals should be more than just a nuke and a buff and give them more egis while you're at it.
>make summoner not a summoner
nah
cope
What I'm trying to say is that summoners should have another demi and three more egi summons, anon.
probably yes
but they need something done about their current aoe
being just copies of their single target but taking up their own buttons sucks ass
They should add a something like what BRD and RDM have, were you get a buff or extra attack for following your rotation properly. Right now you have no reason to use your egis charges if Bahamut/Phoenix is up.
Good point. Especially if they add even more egis.
Change Physick contextually based on the primal attunement you currently have
>Titan changes it to Stoneskin
>Garuda changes it to Blink
>Ifrit changes it to the old Ifrit shield ability
>make this job do a bunch of useless shit no one will use
Ganker really does have an average IQ of 70
I hope none of you are game devs
>BUT HOW DOES THIS HELP MY PARSE?!
Dumb fucking parsetranny, stop ruining RPGs
I'm sure you used all these epic abilities, but in all actuality I bet you don't even know what these are because you weren't even there
This isn't the spinoff game FFXI, this is XIV
It takes notes from the old games that actually define the franchise like FFI-IX
You're always welcome to go play that game instead of trying to parasitically turn everything into it
I miss erase so much. It makes sense to let BRD have their own niche but it felt nice using it sometimes.
>It takes notes from the old games that actually define the franchise like FFI-IX
You owned yourself. Summoners in classic games have a ton of support magic, the original summons in FFIII even all have a support version that Evokers and Sages can summon. FFIV has Asura for Raise and Curaga, FFV has Carbuncle, Golem, Phoenix, Remora, Sylph. I could go on but I think I've made my point.
Used by the summons themselves, not the caster
Next cope
Rydia has special character status
Summoner in 3 and 5 only have summons, you know, the game with the job system like FFXIV
>Used by the summons themselves, not the caster
XIV's SMN uses Trance to channel the power of the primal through their body which is what Astral Flow skills are
And that Trance does damage for 4/5 summons because SMN is a DPS, not a healer or tank
Next cope
but it could be so much more, anon
a dps doesn't have to only be a dps
Play another game with supports then, this isn't "other game".
It takes heavily from earlier iterations while fitting the DPS mold of XIV.
but final fantasy 14 has support damage dealers, anon
what do you think red mage and bard are? summoner could be one too
actually, summoner is one. Remember Searing Light?
So now XIV's SMN doesn't take after earlier iterations of the job? You're waffling here anon.
I'd be cool with each summon having a unique support effect. Anything to add more complexity, every button summoner has just does damage right now, except for Physick, which is useless, and the regen that Phoenix can cast, which is a really cool idea that should be iterated on.
okay, in FFIV rydia was a summoner who could also use white and black magic.
there's a precedent for summoners doing more than just summoning, anon.
>It takes notes from the old games that actually define the franchise li-ACK!!
>THIS CAN'T FUCKING BE HAPPENING NOOOOO HOW DOES ODIN CASTING REFLECT HELP MY PARSE HELP ME DISCORD!!!
gief odin powers
shiva, ramuh and leviathan egis when
odin demi when
You wouldn't understand, anon. Go play FFXI and unlock summoner, then you'll get it. Every summon did something unique on top of having a big explosion attack.
xiv-sisters...why did we pretend to like games? Now XVI released and it's a massive failure...why did we kill final fantasy?
how're you doing. how's the hiv
sisters...did we kill Final Fantasy by pretending to like games? our new game flopped massively...
Kobolds and Goblins are some of the least troublesome beast tribes
What lysefags think
Its unironically over
I wish we'd get a Clive-based job where you harness a Primal's abilities yourself rather than just summoning Egi for a few seconds or a shade of the Primal (if you're 90)
SMN does that too, it's what Mountain Buster, Slipstream, and the book slam are.
>the rocks slam shut in sync with you slamming your book shut
Summoner is way too cool to be the designated retard caster.
Oh yeah, it does.
But just an entire job based on it, not just those few abilities.
What if we get rid of a vast majority of group buffs and mostly relegated them to dedicated support jobs like BRD?
please
I really hope we leave the era of parse trannies
