Who do you think is the most tragic character in FFXIV? I think it's Dabog
>joins the resistance after his entire family dies in the bozja incident
>taken prisoner by the IVth legion
>shatters his spine in an attempt to escape
>sicinius (garlean mad scientist) uses him for a frankenstein cyborg project
>can no longer think for himself and is used against the resistance
>he can be seen throughout the bozjan southern front and zadnor either standing around confused or piloting the gabriel or vigilia
>in zadnor he morphs into a horrific monstrosity
>in the lead up to the Lyon duel it's revealed that sicinius made a ton of other hypertuned clones of dabog just to frick with the resistance
>Edda and any other newb that didn't know what they were in for
>Ysayle, whose reward for ending the forever war is to be told she's a deluded moron with a parasitic monster inside of her before she gets atomized
>the ala mhiggers so hopeless and desperate after being cordoned off to refugee rape camps that they gladly commit suicide just for the chance of bringing help to their people
>Emet-Selch, too Tempered by Zodiark to even realize his mind and memories aren't his own anymore
>Ardbert.
>that girl in Sophia's boss theme.
>Ysale
A lunatic who was so certain that she was the good guy that she tried to shift the blame for the deaths of dozens of innocent people during her raid on Ishgard, on fanatics.
>Emet-Selch
Not tempered, simply has lived too long and desperately wants his people back. Also, you are thinking of Elidibus.
>Mhiggers
They chose to be lazy fricks instead of earning their wealth like Raubahn.
He was literally tempered. He told you it a factually twice. You're a fricking moron and opinion discarded.
Yes and then Livingway straight up says Primals made via the proper creation magic method can't temper.

It never had any RPG elements
it did, but they were awful
it never had any RPG elements. Or do you want to call the fake like attribute skilling from ARR a rpg system?
1.X was a RPG but since 2.0? Never.
>it used to have it but that doesn't count
ok moron
I miss the old crafting mechanics
why did they fricking remove them to cater to the script kiddies?
>>Each patch reduces MMO content and reduces RPG elements of the game.
If XVI is anything to go by, Yoshida hates anything RPG related and just wants flashy fights... So expect classes to be even simpler and raiders to get catered too even more.
>it's barely an MMO
Good. MMOs are dogshit. I'll never forgive MMOs for existing because it meant The Secret World would be forever ruined simply by being an MMO
>Eventually you're left wondering why you wasted your time on this shitty single player MMO.
is this true, is ffxiv more of a single player game?

Really not interested
we already know the exact date of the patch
Could you post an official link to that exact date
You have access to the internet, do it yourself.
So there isn't one, thanks
I read your comment and knew instantly that you’re a fricking Black person .
I'll be nice since it's christmas.
>They release patches only on Tuesday
>Confirmed via a separate slide that the patch will be "Mid Jan"
>It can't come out before the JP fanfest (7th-8th of Jan)
>They wouldn't release it while people are still at fanfest
Jan 16th, 23rd if they want to be cheeky.
they said during the 6.5 LL that 6.55 was mid-January, so probably the week after fanfest, which would be January 16th
I played from 1.23 to EW. And I don't even know who Dabog is... but I started skipping mid ShB patcjes anyway.
bozja was pure dogshit. the 4th legion and the resistance were both trash.
most tragic character is pagaga because she's never gonna make an appearance ever again
are you a whale irl too
Gib voluptuous Momodi you hack
why can't you go one singular xiv thread without avatargayging with your disgusting modbeast, you obnoxious pedophile? why are you this desperate for attention on the internet from strangers, you goddamn loser?
JRPGs are funny for how they'll have quirky cutesy shit but really go hard on the misery and despair. Baldurs gate 1 or 2 feel like a saturday morning cartoon compared to your grab-bag of JRPG options, not just XIV.
And the funny thing is avataring is against the rules. But so is racism and if that's the case then I'll be in trouble. And trouble's for mhiggers
So obsessed you have to stay up at 3 am to post your vile modded gremlin at all times
You have zero taste homie go find some friends on twitter who care
That's just grotesque
Papaga and Lyon are literally returning in DT, beast master is the new limited job
>source
i just know
I want to believe.
Yeah just like everyone was absolutely certain the new melee job was Corsair. New limited job is puppetmaster, screenshot it and post it in January.
Go to bed.

Nothing is as depressing as watching a good crafting system go to waste

I hope we get more yotolo in dawntrail...
This but Krile
Here is your Krile content

Repeat with each zone.
It worked for Lyse

We'll get the grandpa squad.
Reminder that there will definitely be unique MSQ dialogue based on clearing Eureka.
Please no... The people who have it locked down on my cluster actively spam report anyone who tries to do it without being in their discord.
Name your DC now.
There's no way it's mine
Materia.
That's what I thought.
Primal hermanos winning again.
Krile Expansion
There is one (1) person with taste in this thread and it is you anon. Y'shtola a cute.
You will get lots of cat in Dawntrail, but it may not be the kind you want.
Hnnngh.
I hope she gets a cool role, Krileanon. I think she deserves a nice plot after that speech she made wishing WoL happiness.
Alisae because she thirsts for WoL and he's just an adventure autist
The people who obsessively respond to the lalaBlack person avatargays
If you ignored them they would frick off but Ganker is hardwired to do the most moronic option, every time
Eh, what can ya do?
has that ever worked in the history of anything
>vote with your wallet!
resulted in more gacha games and more microtransactions
>just ignore the trolls!
resulted in every localized game becoming a political soapbox for the localizers
>resulted in every localized game becoming a political soapbox for the localizers
I can't wait for localizers to push shit like "rizz", "gyatt" and whatever next zoomer speak in their translation and tell people on social medial how important it was for them.
>can't wait for localizers to push shit like "rizz", "gyatt" and whatever next zoomer speak in their translation
Literally already happening with manga translators.
And Japs are getting so fed up with the commiefornia bullshit that they are resulting to using AI to translate stuff now
Which of course made said localizers shit their pants on twitter

At least FFXVI was good.
Lyse, because she has to stay with the mhiggers instead of adventuring with the WoL.
Do I lose anything interesting if I just skip the Manderville cutscenes for the relic quests? It's getting stale
That is the interesting part.
The EW ones were pretty lackluster, feel free to skip. If I had to rate Hildy it would be:
ARR > SB > HW > EW
sb hildibrand was dogshit.
Endwalker ones are top tier solely because unlike the MSQ they actually let our Warrior of Light do stuff in action scenes.

there's nothing to do
There's nothing t-UOOOHH
do criterion savage
nobody wants to do that shit dungeon
What is the point when I can just glamourer them?

Hasn't been fun to do since sb

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll fix it in the Dawntrail criterion dungeons
Totally won't be the same unfun garbage at all
>1.11M players
What are they all doing? How are there still so many people playing this game?
There's more to do than whatever the current endgame is. Just because you have exhausted all content doesn't mean the huge influx of players over the past few years have.
not everyone have done everything in the game (or reach the endgame for that matter)
Aren't achievements set to private by default on the lodestone?
So this is only including people who have actually gone into their lodestone profile and set achievements to public.
yes. the percentage of the actual active population who has cleared criterion should be less than 1%
I literally don't know a single person who still raid, only shb zoomers must still do it.
>resub
>less health than the casters
Why do they need to humiliate me like this
the gear only exists to serve the dailies/weeklies treadmill that their sub revenue relies on
Momodi is best Lalahag.
Agreed
me because I am constantly broke and in need of gil but I hate crafting
Modding and by conjuncture, plugins will put the final nail on the coffin for this game.
Why do X content when you can use Y plugin that do it for you.
Why trying to get the rare "Y" tittle when Z plugin let you use any kind of tittle you want?
And especially, why the frick are the dev bashing their head against the wall that is "difficult content" when people literally fricking cheat to beat it?
? no
modding and plugins are making the game better
there's now a track record of mods and qol changed introduced by the devs
and just because you can't beat difficult content doesn't mean everyone who beats it is cheating
Bro everyone is cheating in ultimate, savage and PVP what the frick are you smoking?
PvP was literally completely ruined by rampant cheating
PvP was ruined by making most things that aren't limit breaks completely useless
>Lunar Eureka
You literally wouldn't be able to stop it.. also, the Lunar Primals were definitely supposed to be far bigger than what we got.
most tragic character?
why, that would be me after yesterday's TEA clear attempts and being trapped by dancers that have cleared before maybe once or twice as pld that decided they needed to "help" me out as a dancer and not as a pld because their souls are just that kind
seriously, 2 days of clear attempts only seeing PA once is not good for an ultimate, i think that perfect legends are trash at the game and most of them probably spent enough time trying to clear that they eventually got it after 4 months or who knows
people mock uwu saying it's just 3 trials and an ultimate? that's fine, TEA is 2 frontloaded ultimates followed by 2 trials, one which you can emulate in a single player korean sim and 1 savage, don't make me laugh, the trios are too slow
/pet
I know PF is insane, try to keep your sanity
worst part is that that pull was actually my fault, i delayed mug and i greeded stillness, missed a ninjutsu due to spaghetti and i haven't seen PA since
i feel defeated but hopefully i'll get it today
>i greeded stillness
you didn't deserve to clear
you're playing in endwalker, homosexual
there is no dps check
He's dealing with PF, what do you expect?
it was my first time in PA
stand still moron, not rocket science
I miss Howard Moon
@661945274
>anon in charge of interpreting data
morons ill need (You)s
only parsetrannies have achievements on public. if you have it on private. you. did. not. clear. criterion.
How hard are morbol's savages with BLU?
My fc is 7/8 for it but dunno I wanna invest the time. Already have all spells btw
you cheese most of the mechanics with diamondback so if your fc friends know the fights already you should clear very quickly.
So no doing most mechs?
Still, heard some are straight up ez and some can require someone bringing a specific spell to cheese a specific thing.
Yeah, I haven't done morbol but I did Eden as BLU and we literally diamondback'd any mech that dealt with role stuff like healers stack etc etc: just spread and diamondback. Good luck anon. I think A8S should take the longest but the rest are very easy.
The WoL, he did so many grand and fantastical things. Only to be surrounded by dudes jerking off to their Second Life modded monstrosities.
Sometimes I wonder why the writers don't make the adventurer's guild more involved in the MSQ.
Then I get reminded of shit like this.
>The entire OCE data center has less players than some servers
what a great use of money, mr. yoshitter
of course it was, the whole plan was to get rid of waito piggus on the jp servers
which didn't work because nobody moved and the same SEAmonkeys and Aussies still play on JP
moron
proof?
there's one JP datacenter full of english player. I think Elemental is the name. or maybe Elemental is the japanese JP datacenter and other one is the gaijin
the fact that there is nobody in OCE is the proof
you fricking baboon
Meanwhile Dynamis people all come back to Aether/Primal/Crystal to run content.
Always see a bunch of them around aetherytes and in my roulettes.
Hey I'm not complaining. It's nice seeing the cities not clogged like a morbidly obese man's arteries. Reminds me of 2.0
Should have followed the player influx with lasting content.
Will they ever offer an endgame alternative to Savage raiding? I know people will give me shit for a wow comparison but hear me out: In wow you can raid if you enjoy DDR fights, just like in Savage, with their weird 4 difficulties. Still I feel it is compareable to XIVs endgame where Savage is more streamlined. However as far as I can tell they offer Mythic dungeons as alternative for people who want to rely less on heavily choreographed fights and more on a grindy mindset where you climb keys. I don't want a Mythic system, but I am wondering if there could be a less DDR style system of endgame gearing in paralell to Savage. Tomes is just welfare and not difficult at all. Criterion is locked behind savage and exploration zones are not even geared or serve only the relic. It just feels like there is missing something in XIVs endgame.
>
Nah. 14s combat *is* the DDR. You wouldnt be able to do something that relies on playing your class well since they gutted everything that would make it difficult. If you are not into puzzle encounter 14 aint for you.
>Glad you could re-remake it, Uther
God this patch story fricking SUUUUUUCKS
I found the dungeon really cool, even if the Void story ended up being underwhelming.
>reused ishgard assets
Isn't that part lifted out of XVI?
