if you're talking about how unsatisfying it is, you could try using animations mods like the ones made by Papachin. Really helped me get through the boring ass early game.
This, after my friend has dragged me for 60 hours through Heavensward from Realm Reborn, I just genuinely don't care about the world, any of the characters, or any of the plot lines. Worse is I don't prefer multiplayer games generally, and MMOs all the more so.
Fricking this. Everything is so formulaic and filled with endless amounts of filler. Every expansion stretching a 30 minute (at best) story out over 60 hours.
>instantly thinks about smelly feet instead of well-cared for, manicured feet, with delicate toes, pretty arches, either barefoot (always good), in shoes that show off the feet, in socks, or in pantyhose, or with rings/ankle bracelets, and also as something more than just a lewd body part, but as a way for a girl to express her lewdity, in the same way they might arch their back or pose with their legs
I was getting back into Bozja again recently since that's the only relic I haven't completed.
I got to a step where I have to either do FATEs in dead zones or queue for alliance raids that take forever to pop even though they're part of the current Moogle Treasure Trove event.
I'm told it's a step you only have to do once and I'm sure I could grind FATEs out quickly but it still killed my enthusiasm for it.
The only other things I have left to do are orders of magnitude more autistic, like completing the fishing log, and I'm not interested in doing things like that at the moment.
It is quite literally the most common and therefore normal fetish. If you don't have any fetishes then sure you might have some claim to being a more "normal" person but if you do have some other fetish you are technically weirder than a foot fetishist.
>the lack of pron this char has is criminal >someone pls play initial A and drills3d for some good barbs shreks
Nobody wants to draw her hair is the reason I think.
because the game is the most boring mmo ever? I had fun with ARR and HW. But with each xpac the game gets uglier more and more.
Why the hell are the ARR zones still the best looking zones of the game?

Start your own group, moron. Gather people around you. Doesn't matter if "raiding is dead" on the dc, there will absolutely be seven other players out there who want to raid.
yet on Aether i constantly see the same people. So many peopel are taking breaks right now, my friends list is fricking empty as well, nobody is online anymore

You don't use DF for Savage, no one uses it for Savage. This has been known for years. PF is for Savage, if you can't find a group then you start one. Why is it so fricking difficult for you spastics to initiate groups? You always have to wait on another to do it and then join.
>want to clear savage
Which savage? Anything below EW raids are only done unsync for glamour pieces.
And if you are talking about EW raids, only current tier and E4s and E8s are played, again, for glamour.
Endwalker kinda ruined the game.
Made classes too simple, and the content kinda sucked and didnt last very long.
I'll probably just quit until Dawntrail comes out, and if that's bad too I'll find some other MMO to play.
I'm worried Endwalker will be FFXIV's WoD.
nah, EW is shitty because its being ghost directed, Yoshi's name is there, but his assistant is the real director, its been brought up casually many times in dev panels, but the community is too room temperature IQ to even realize this, unless they talk using naked futa viera avatars
it's also the engine update xpac, so their resources are mostly going to updating the textures for 7.0, now don't ask me why this takes so many resources...
I wish stats had a bigger impact on how the game is played.
I hate it. It'd be fine if it was the Garlean expansion instead of the apocalypse edge of the universe bs.

blm never ran out of mp thou, never ever
jobs ran out of tp in hw
so melees literally had a constant disadvantage since their skills costed tp and sprinting would consume the whole tp bar
HW AST, the best and most fun one had a skill that could increase buff times up to 2 mins
and a card, arrow I think would increase attack speed, so feeding a mnk the extended card make em mald so mad because they would ran out of TP in 30 secs and spam a macro "will blow load for goad"
goad was a cross class skill that gave people a bit of tp, they also had manashift which would donate mana instead
cross class skills endured until a bit inside stormblood then they got gutted into the monstruosity we have now where everyone got arms length, lucid dream, second wind etc
the game used to be so much fun in HW
you could also just summon titan egi and tank shit and you had a special skill to heal the egi
i fricking hate what the game is now, thanks to these masturbator erp gays who don't even know how to play without touching their dicks

AST and SMN still played like that in SB, THOUGH. Also the class ability shit wasn't as homogenized in SB. Tanks didn't get arms length, having goad was sometimes worth it, don't remember if repose was given to all healers, tanks had more options, etc.

no they didnt.
AST got neutered in SB, all the buff juggle got cut and only the cards remained
you couldn't 1 min stunlock enemies anymore, stuff got replaced by royal road mechanic
SMN egi aggro and health got NUKED in SB, the heal skill was made obsolete before being removed and they could no longer hold aggro/solo stuff, the turbo dot build also got cut, miasma 2 along with all cross class dots got deleted
going from HW to SB really made the simplification of jobs noticeable, but most people that started in sb wouldn't notice, and shb babies and foward will never understand how satisfying it was to just stunlock something for 2 mins, or mess up TP usage of melees

1 there wasn't
Tanks could go vit or str
wanna be bulky? vit, wanna risk that one shot buster but pump deeps? go str
this also continued in sb until they made it so that tanks don't benefit from str accessories at all
2 the balance issue is a dev issue, its their problem
3 removing it didnt changed balanced or improved the base scrub skill, so a fluff thing into the trash and this applied to all skills and systems removed under the principle that "making it simple will fix the skill gap between morons and hardcores"
what will they remove in 7.0 to attempt to maker moron erp trannies be better and not sandbag so hard? you can make the optimal choice arguement to any system/rotation/choice, optimal will always exist, and devs should not be so anally bind to it like 14 devs are or else you risk restricting fun and creativity, which they did, A LOT, over and over.
What do you call it when you love logging to see numbers go up but you are too pussy for doing savage?
Cause I might have that obsession of needing to have the biggest dick where it doesn't matter at all.
Not enough free time to be mmoing right now.
Way too big of a gaming backlog anyway.
6.5 still not out.
Can't visit my wife ingame right now because every fricking patch ends with her locking herself up in the most inaccesible libraries in the world so that this plotline can hopefully fricking end already.
Thanks anon, I want to be ready day 1. I could not play when the last patch released and I had to run Golbez EX weeks after it came out. What a nightmare it was.
>Beat Savage the week of release and am BiS on two jobs in different roles >All Ultimates cleared
I don't mind drought season since now I can just take it easy and play other games while chipping away at various things in XIV. I'll have to sweat it out a bit with my group for the next Criterion but that's about it on the horizon.
Raiders don't like playing the game, they just like having the cheevos. Its why so many cheat, and mentality isn't exclusive to XIV. It's just an MMO thing.
I've been playing the game almost every day for the past year and a half, it's good to have a break or you're just gonna get burned out (which I've experience already prior to Shadowbringers), so you can come back invigorated with new goals instead becoming a bitter doomposter because all you play and think about is a single video game.
It's not like all I do is raid either, but I've been playing so long that I'm largely caught up on other things the game has to offer too. I've got all the big fish, I have a maxed out racing chocobo, I've got every obtainable minion, I've got my DoH/DoL relics, I've done Eureka and DRS, and I've solo'd DDs. I've probably experienced and completed more facets of the game than the people who b***h about there being "nothing to do" have.
>I've been playing the game almost every day for the past year and a half
What do you actually do in game? What do you plan to do for the next 11 months? I'm also a caught up veteran like you and am planning to just sub at the tail end of 6.55 catch up on everything in one fell swoop.
Now? I already said I'm taking a break so I'm really just dabbling in PvP and maintaining my subs since I have an FC. Prior to two months ago or so (when the static collectively decided to wind down), I had a bigger impetus to take care of my dailies, was actually raiding and was doing whatever else took my fancy.
The plan's to frick about in Ultimates some time after the next patch drops. At the very least, I know I'll be doing the next Criterion Savage with the boys who are interested, but besides that I guess I'll chip away at old relics when I feel like it or farm mounts when I feel like it. Feeling like a one man army in my full elemental gear when Eureka becomes accessible to the trial players will probably be fun too.
Many of those days are just popping in to do a roulette or two on the days I wasn't raiding, Anon. It's not like "playing every day" means "playing for 6 hours every day".
Raiders have so much content in EW they get burnt out
Casuals/Midcore have nothing to do so they get bored
Basically SE needs to reallocate their resources
>3 raid tiers >2 ultimates >3 criterion dungeons >7.0 will likely have it all again
Hardcore players don't want to believe it but this game caters to them more than anybody else
Even the usual things they complain about like the 2-minute meta came about due to their complaints
you think that is much?
anon the boss fights are basically over extended dances where the real challenge is keep sane while you see the same mechanic over and over, just so you can see another 30 secs of the fight with each pull
criterion would've a good alternative IF it had rewards, and the most odd part is how people complain about the "grind" mindset being le bad, but the savage version requires you to grind 100 tokens to get the mount, which is sellable.
criterion is by far the worse designed content they ever had up there with diadem

Yes this is a lot. Every patch you get gameplay that lasts the average player (read: not a world first racer NEET) a month for prog, possibly longer before you even get into reclears.
Players who aren't interested in hardcore content have nothing to hold them to new patches after a week at the most.
And I know what the challenge in raiding is, that doesn't change anything. Neither does the Criterion reward structure.
Even if it's pointless after completing it once it is still much meatier than what everybody else is getting.
I do agree that the rewards are shit but the content itself isn't bad at all, it is just the rewards are very lackluster. It's worth noting that they're looking into improving rewards for 7.x.

and don't act like you're throwing shade at world racers lmao neet makes it any better, the skillfloor to this game is already underground. >Even if it's pointless after completing it once it is still much meatier
much meatier, more meat than what? a skeleton, interesting content gotta have both the combat mechanics and the reward, having one without the other makes it a broken design
you know what was also meaty? eureka and bozja, look what they're worth now, NOTHING, because they don't have replay value anymore so very few people still play it for fun or loot making it much harder for new players to even dabble in it, worse in the case of eureka since you require a group to pop and kill the bosses required for the relic
that is called bad design anon, not future proofing content was always an issue with exploratory content, the fact that they completely ignored it and released criterion not being even present proof is a sign of incompetence > It's worth noting that they're looking into improving rewards for 7.x.
here is the problem, if they do, it will be for 7.0 criterion dungeons, 6.0 ones will be in this eternal state of not being worth much, at the very least you can do it solo for most rewards, so there is that, a lazy solution to future proofing.

What the frick is wrong with Arthars? He's so angry and pissed off all the time playing this game, he's shouting constantly at people in P10S. It's not a character it's him.
I'll have to remember that and never raid beyond the Normal fights. Sometimes I get the urge to do Savage but then I see the state of raiders like Arthars or try and speak to some who Savage raid and they treat it like a second job. I suppose I understand why but I'm not going to sweat the game where I know I will hate it if I do that content.
savages are not a second job, they are not even hard, a good group clears them all in an hr once you guys go into farming mode
streamers are not a good example of handling savages, because they need it as content, so they keep hitting their heads in there for views even when there is nothing more to do
the real issue with savaegs now is that combat is BOOOORING, all jobs play the same >build gauge >1 min burst >press big 1 min skill >build gauge >2 min burst >use bufffs >press big 2 min skill

I keep telling ya'll that you can't play a game for fricking 10 years straight.
If you played Ocarina of Time for 10 years, every day, you would think it's a shitfest of a game.
Being forced to interact with grown men that play as rabbit/cat girls in skimpy outfits makes my stomach churn. I'd rather sniff a rail of my grannie's ashes than associate with such homosexualry
I really wish clout chaser youtubers and shitposters started to make fun of the awful gay community this game has so these frickers can feel shame and shut down their moronic mentally ill constant jerking off to bad low poly chars
shame these frickers out of the game
I use gay as a blanket term here, you know this community is a purulent zit shat out of satan's butthole during a strong diarrhea after shoving rotting rats in there, you know, its a lot worse than just being turbo homosexuals
pls don't cancel me and shower me with rape allegations, I kneel for our gay overlords
#occupylimsastreets
General population is counted there based on [any change to lodestone profile within the period]
Whereas the chart here
is stricter as [new achievement earned within period].
Achievement data is private by default, which explains most of the difference between the two, and there are also "players" who don't earn achievements often because they just log-on to afk/chat/erp/etc - but would be picked up by the looser methodology if they change glam or buy a minion or something.
This is only gays who manually turned on publiv achievements, probably for xivcollect or lalachievements. i.e. not the casuals that make up most of the playerbase
because there is no content in the game anymore
you erp trannies killed the game nwo the devs only release parassols and sun glasses and dye channels and you morons cheer harder than for new content
my sub ran out and I'm dealing with mental health shit. it also doesn't help that I feel no motivation or feel motivated to have a goal to go for in XIV.
All MMOs always change up classes too much to a point where it's not fun anymore, just braindead rotations.
Also leveling is a fricking chore in this game due to the duty finders dropping your level down for each dungeon. Just scale that shit is I can keep my abilities
PVP is forever trash for many reason I dont even need to get into because you already know them.
It really wasn't even close to how bad it is before Shadowbringers became popular. I seriously don't know why erp bawd glam gays got so bold and now wear that shit in every dungeon or raid like it's completely fine.
Because the california GMs protect them

I got a full time job, I miss wasting my days just playing ffxiv carefree.
I feel like if I go back I will just rush to complete shit so I'm dropping it.
I got an actual job. Most I can spend on video games daily is less than an hour. Maybe 3 hours on weekends. I ain't got time to pay for grinding in cat girl simulator. Being smart with money doesn't make you poor, in fact it does the opposite. Your year of a subscription could have been used to buy a new graphics card.
I tried the free trial and got bored half way through Heavensward. People lied about it getting better after ARR. I don't know what I expected. I hate WoW-clone Themepark MMOs so ofc I won't like it even if I do like FF.
100% for the story, the patch is coming out on the 3rd. Some stuff (V&C, crafter relic, pvp) is coming out in 6.51 this time around which will be at the end of October though.
It fits their usual timing between .x5 -> .0 patches and also yoshida make sure to higlight the word "early" when they said early October, and also there's usually one entire week before the liveletter and the patch coming out.
Well let's hope so, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

stormblood have the best and most content in the game.
if you're one of the shadowbabies who pretend SB was bad because the initial story was shit then you're part of the ERP crowd son
So there isn't any content at all then? Because there for sure isn't anything interesting to do in the open world, which only exists for beast tribe dailies and story reasons.
yes, no content
everything is so without grind that you can pretty much do everything a new patch has in a week if you're playing competently
Orthos? can be downed in a day, fully
Island? not even content, downed in a week for loot
Criterion? downed in a week, not enough rewards to justify reclearing variant and another versions
no new raids until new xpac
alliance raid coming in 6.5 is normal mode catch up lgr tier content that you do once for gear.
then you have all your one time only story content like tataru, hildibrand and msq, once you're done, you're done, also, downed in a day
the mentality of "no grind", "casual friendly", "go and play other games" really neutered this game

>Is it not beautiful to see people execute tactics in coordinated fashion
no, it never was
this is a cope by the xiv community to justify all raids being basically virtual ballet dances
there is satisfaction to be had in doing tactics, but there is none in xiv, there is no gotcha mechanic that someone can avoid with smart play or proper use of a niche skill, all fights boil down to >move to x spot >use skill y >keep dpsing boss
blue mage is the last vestige of emergent gameplay in this game, being able to choose between pure crits, dots, bringing more dps skills or building sub groups for keeping debuffs up is the last vestige of fun in this game.

Reminder that if anyone starts saying savage is midcore, this is where they got it from: https://youtu.be/Db_YqvBpf1A?si=1Ve4m2hS01Y36Y5j
If savage is midcore then so are ultimates because you're only looking at content by how much of a timesink it is. There are so many shitters or mediocre players that clear ults, actually clear and aren't piloted or carried, and it was always like this since SB. If savage is midcore then the only hardcore content is top 100 in Feast/Top 30 in CC.
uwu and tea are unironically less annoying than the past 2 savage tiers simply due to power creep
those titles and weapons are hardly braggin rights anymore
the only thing that separates these old ultis from savage is the amount of mechanics/speed they are pushed out
once you memorize it, it becomes such a bore that you can do with your eyes closed.
in our static we literally have several ulti raiders that partially fall asleep while doing shti like uwu
>1 streamer says savage is midcore YESTERDAY >this is where the months old opinion comes from
Savage is midcore, now go cope about failing at midcore content.
So Zepla is stating facts? She's a streamer after all. I thought this place was against her, how quick you people flip-flop to suit your opinion that XIV is in a good state.
This expansion was trash besides DSR and launch month. If you were unsubbed for the rest of it you missed nothing. Housing and the mentally ill second life troons are whats keeping XIV alive.

But they're not the twelve, they're OG primals made by Venat to make sure Eorzea has something to protect them. Her convocation was retconned, as was her duty of being Hydaelyn's heart.

Again. They didn't retcon her group. We literally saw them in one scene. And it never said Venat was Hydaelyn's heart. That was just assumed, and honestly Venat becoming a Primal makes more sense the Edlidibus being the heart of one

Gee anon, a decent portion of the population of a civilization of people with literal god level creation magic and literal immortality are arrogant. Golly, I never saw that coming. It's almost like the version we saw of them in SHB was an idealized version of them created by Emet-Selch to push the fact that his people were better then the sundered masses.

It's not a retcon because the rumbling was probably Pandemonium getting yeeted into the lifestream. But her you want a retcon? I'll give you one.
Remember how after the Antitower Hydaelyn tells WoL through Minfilla that Zodiark is the end all be all baddie and it waking up would mean death for everyone? Only for it to turn out she was straight up lying but it never gets brought up? That's a retcon. That entire conversation may as well have not happened now.

Wow look at that continent that's larger than Eorzea. It sure would be a shame if it only contained a couple zones and was immediately forgotten the following expansion. SURELY they've learned from their mistakes in Yanxia and Endwalker THIS time.
Aldenard will get unclouded for one zone in 8.0 despite being a great three continent. At this point XIV needs to simply work with what it has instead of rushing to other parts of the map. I also blame flying, we just have big empty zones instead of smaller ones that naturally fit together.

MMOs are a dead genre
they are being milked to death or trying to adapt to "modern audiences" via dumb pandering, wow and gw2, or by trying to be as casual, 2nd life esque as possible, xiv.
There's no midcore content in the game by his own admission. You clear savage and you're done, there's no ult next patch so there's nothing to do in the gsme.
You play MMOs when there is nothing else that interests you.
So many games are releasing right now that most people won't even think of touching XIV until 6.5.
I honestly don't mind that the game population is dying down. Because I've noticed a sharp drop in trannies and the like. Maybe shit will go back to how it was pre-SHB?
For me, I noticed the opposite. People (trannies) that obsess over scions and shipping are the ones staying while normal players are leaving because content and jobs are too shallow.
I'm tempted to come back but between BG3, Starfield, and soon Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty I am just too distracted to bother with a subscription based game. Also I just built a new PC for those 3 games and it kind of sucks that it makes no difference for FF14 which I could already run at max settings.
It really is amazing how bad SE managed to frick up the momentum they had at the end of ShB going into EW, they had the mmo market handed to them on a golden platter thanks to WoW shitting the bed and still couldn't capitalize on the opportunity.
people started unsubscribing after they killed the lich kang, probably because that wrapped up the WC3 story for them.
same might happen with FF14 now that its main story arc is done.
Cata or mist depending on who you ask
for me it was mist because it was the first huge dumbing down of combat and simplification of everything so noobs could get geared
cata had its moments and it was mostly disliked due to the raids/story, but combat was still solid

jobs didnt stop being fun because someone played too much, they stopped ebing fun because their mechanics got neutered.
hw ast is not the same as sb ast which is not the same as shb ast which is not the same as ew ast
up until sb you had mechanics that you had to consider and skills to use outside your stiff rotation, that is no longer the case
you can't squeeze a little more dps by stance dancing as a tank
you can't pump up so much dmg that you need to use the aggro reducing skill as a sam or drg or risk eating a tank buster
you don't have to worry about mana anymore as a caster
you dont have to silence mobs
you dont have to stun mobs
you dont have to esuna people
everything now boils down to fitting your burst inside the buff window and everyone being at the right place at the right time
someone messed up? you cant cover them
someone is in the wrong spot? chances are your rescue will just make the mechanic explode the whole party together rather than exploding everyone separate
there is no creative solution to boss mechanics anymore
everything is under strict rails
the biggest choices you can make in a raid now is decide with the tank who is invul which tb or if you're dropping a shield in a tank or a tetra once he invuls the buster

or you will pretend to be an oldgay now to defend the stupid 2 min meta?
4 years of content, 2 xpacs
and all examples you could come up in defense of stun/silence being relevant where 4 fights?
not exactly proving a point are we?
But they are being used which means they aren't being phased out. I agree they should use role specific CC more and fix caster CC being a long ass cast bar.
The game is designed as a theme park for FF fans to wax nostalgic about older titles and over time become fully playable as a single player JRPG when it reaches end of life. If you gated combat with HW autism, most people would drop the game.
>If you gated combat with HW autism, most people would drop the game.
you make it sound as if hw combat was majong lvl of knowledge
it wasn't that hard, and people didn't drop, people got interested and kept playing
it was only with shb that this criticism started regarding the game.
casuals would not drop because they're required to perform in raids, as this is still a requirement, all the devs did was take the lazy approach and make it worse for people who want a more interesting combat, under the pretense that this would entice and improve it for the casuals
guess what, casuals still frick shit up, and still complete casual content, casuals still kill everyone for not doing mechanics, even when they don't have to worry with anything outside pressing a rotation set in stone
the mindset that "we gotta take care of casual players" is what is slowly killing this game, casuals do'nt care about it, they barely notice, they join expert roulettes without their skills locked behind job quests and no one even notices.
I have literally seen FC members refuse to touch ShB SMN because of its reputation for being "complex" when you could just mash the buttons that light up and do decent damage. It's not about objective difficulty it's about how it's perceived in casual eyes.

The devs have said before that their aim has been make rotations more simple so there's less of a gap between the low and high end. The ironic thing is, the strictness of 2 min burst has made the gap about as wide as it was before, sometimes even wider. They were in a good spot in Stormblood besides a few genuine stinkers (WHM, MCH), but now they've dug themselves into a hole.
>shb ast which is not the same as ew ast
Idk about AST specifically but a lot of the jobs I played were pretty much the same from ShB to EW tbh. Except Paladin when that got reworked mid-expansion. I think this is why newbies don't realize how different job design was pre-ShB.
People only bring up SMN to complain about it being neutered job attachment in the playerbase for it is through the roof compared to before and PLD to complain about its janky phys/mag phase transitions being scrapped for an all-encompassing FoF in line with the other tanks. MNK, MCH and NIN have nothing but positives going for them since Stormblood, Monk's gone the longest it ever has in its entire life without a full rework and people are actually playing Machinist at all these days. For a lot of fights in Stormblood there were literally no parses with a Machinist on-board, that's how dogshit it was.

Not a single soul is going to defend Stormblood Machinist or White Mage.
Machinist felt fricking perfect in HW and they took a massive shit all over it because BRDs hated bowmage instead of keeping it as a MCH specific gimmick (which was designed around it in the first place). The way it currently plays still isn't as fun or as satisfying as it was back then.
Eh PvP MCH in its current incarnation is a slice of the old gunmage concept. I don't know that I would have kept it either personally.

The way MCH/BRD casts in PvP is fundamentally different than how it was in HW, which was more like how healers are now with 1.5s cast times, but I think if it were how the PvP casting works, the reception wouldn't have been as polarizing.
Thing is though, because MCH was designed around it with its combo, ammo system and gauss barrel toggling, there was a lot more room for skill expression and a very high ceiling associated with playing it well, and learning the nail that opener genuinely felt good.

as a SMN main I must tell you that you're wrong, but you're also right
SMN now feels like SMN
but the old warlock SMN was FUN and it WORKED, you could spot a good HW SMN from a bad one in just one look
And while I agree that SMN being an actual SMN and not a warlock fits in terms of lore
I hate that they abandoned dotmancer and how they are moving away from dots alltogether
people who complained about SMN in HW beign mechanically "hard" were just dumb morons, it was good to have one job that wasn't revolving around combos for once and that had jiggle room, POTD was fun as a SMN solo exactly because it had a toolkit that fit soloing
now we got
red flavor ogcd
yellow flavor ogcd
green flavor ogcd

No, they haven't changed much since ShB. Stormblood had more similarities with HW design since you had things like aggro actually mattering, tank stance dancing being a thing, healer MP being a consideration and 2-min burst meta not being baked into rotations.

but going from sb to shb, everything changed, the two jobs that changed the least were rdm and sam which served as the trial for how current job design is >build gauge >spend gauge >keep it simple

>The Mystic Knight fuses magic spells which includes damaging spells or status inducing spells into their equipped sword. The wielder will smite enemies with their Spellblade.
That's how
Mystic Knight could pretty easily ape Samurai (for obvious reasons) way more than it does Red Mage. Rather I would think that a Mystic Knight would be a second pass at Monk's stances, since new jobs revolve around using scrapped mechanics from old jobs (Reaper and Sage use Heavy Thrust + Sole Survivor from DRG/DRK and Dark Arts from DRK respectively) >Aero Sword or Thunder Sword for fast attacks or setting DoTs >Fire Sword or Stone Sword for heavy-hitting attacks >Blizzard Sword or Water Sword for, frick I dunno, MP regeneration, increased defense, job-gauge generation?
it will never be painter
this is dellusion in the same lvl as GEO
the devs barely make jobs feel unique and fun rn, they simply can't make a job where you paint stuff feel fun in such strict ruleset
as a limited job? it would be fun, as a regular job? never ever, painter was always a blue mage esque job

>Turned the best, most unique ARR trial into an instance >Left Chrysalis unchanged
Why did they do this? Chrysalis takes as long as Steps of Faith while also being fricking boring, and 9 out of 10 times you get someone wasting the LB
assuming the dps and tanks aren't new and know what they're doing, otherwise you got dps trying to soak meteors or tanks doing anything but catching meteors
Steps of Faith should've been a featured Unreal. Let new players experience a taste of how things used to be, stop ripping the past fragments of soul out of the game. XIV Classic as a whole is a dumb idea, but I would genuinely love for old skills and proper ilvl sync to be an option in some way for select fights. Like imagine sprouts FINALLY doing Coils while capped at 50, TP, cross-class abilities.
There hasn't been any gameplay since it released, the slow increase in players is because normalgays picked it up with how easy it is, and brainless zoomers matured and thought MMOs and FF games are supposed to be like this and this would be a good place to start.
smn has nothing to weave with titan so that's completely irrelevant. the way the game just hands you a high potency gcd to mindlessly spam every 60s is exactly like fell cleave

Anon, there's limits to how moronic a shitpost you can make.
it would suck up too much time from my hobbies
I just logged off for the night after doing a bunch of leveling on off classes, it was that or repeat msq roulette for poetics and moonless tomestones
I dont like the combat
if you're talking about how unsatisfying it is, you could try using animations mods like the ones made by Papachin. Really helped me get through the boring ass early game.
I got tired of how formulaic and low-effort everything felt. It felt like a game perpetually going through the motions.
This, after my friend has dragged me for 60 hours through Heavensward from Realm Reborn, I just genuinely don't care about the world, any of the characters, or any of the plot lines. Worse is I don't prefer multiplayer games generally, and MMOs all the more so.
Fricking this. Everything is so formulaic and filled with endless amounts of filler. Every expansion stretching a 30 minute (at best) story out over 60 hours.
Feet are disgusting.
very gay
it's a game for pedophiles and not human beings

>instantly thinks about smelly feet instead of well-cared for, manicured feet, with delicate toes, pretty arches, either barefoot (always good), in shoes that show off the feet, in socks, or in pantyhose, or with rings/ankle bracelets, and also as something more than just a lewd body part, but as a way for a girl to express her lewdity, in the same way they might arch their back or pose with their legs

I was getting back into Bozja again recently since that's the only relic I haven't completed.
I got to a step where I have to either do FATEs in dead zones or queue for alliance raids that take forever to pop even though they're part of the current Moogle Treasure Trove event.
I'm told it's a step you only have to do once and I'm sure I could grind FATEs out quickly but it still killed my enthusiasm for it.
The only other things I have left to do are orders of magnitude more autistic, like completing the fishing log, and I'm not interested in doing things like that at the moment.
It is quite literally the most common and therefore normal fetish. If you don't have any fetishes then sure you might have some claim to being a more "normal" person but if you do have some other fetish you are technically weirder than a foot fetishist.
cut yours off then
>Feet are disgusting.

Best game with worst gameplay.
Fluffy crotch!
no incentive for me to pvp anymore, they ruined everything this expansion
Can't play with randoms.
because I only play healer and it's no longer fun to play
I'm done with the current patch, got all the gear I need and now just waiting for new shit to do.
because the game is the most boring mmo ever? I had fun with ARR and HW. But with each xpac the game gets uglier more and more.
Why the hell are the ARR zones still the best looking zones of the game?
no reason to play

Start your own group, moron. Gather people around you. Doesn't matter if "raiding is dead" on the dc, there will absolutely be seven other players out there who want to raid.
>Start your own group
no one joined
>using party finder
did that. for days. made my own parties too. still never got a group
yeah
FFXIV has over 3 million subs, why are you lying barry?

Stopped reading there. Whatever problems you're b***hing about are entirely your own fault.
You don't use DF for Savage, no one uses it for Savage. This has been known for years. PF is for Savage, if you can't find a group then you start one. Why is it so fricking difficult for you spastics to initiate groups? You always have to wait on another to do it and then join.
>want to clear savage
Which savage? Anything below EW raids are only done unsync for glamour pieces.
And if you are talking about EW raids, only current tier and E4s and E8s are played, again, for glamour.
>for glamour
And DSR or TOP BiS. Relic isn't out until January.
Good one
Endwalker kinda ruined the game.
Made classes too simple, and the content kinda sucked and didnt last very long.
I'll probably just quit until Dawntrail comes out, and if that's bad too I'll find some other MMO to play.
I'm worried Endwalker will be FFXIV's WoD.
but i am
I thought I'd be happier with the oppai lala mods. Boy was I wrong
Titty potatoes are a sometimes food.
But yeah, more normal lalamods are more attractive.
You ever think they made EW shit on purpose to make DT look good?
I'd be fine with pic related. The novelty with lalas has run its course.
nah, EW is shitty because its being ghost directed, Yoshi's name is there, but his assistant is the real director, its been brought up casually many times in dev panels, but the community is too room temperature IQ to even realize this, unless they talk using naked futa viera avatars
it's also the engine update xpac, so their resources are mostly going to updating the textures for 7.0, now don't ask me why this takes so many resources...
I wish stats had a bigger impact on how the game is played.
I hate it. It'd be fine if it was the Garlean expansion instead of the apocalypse edge of the universe bs.
back in HW you could allocate stat points like dex, str, vit
then they removed it because casual morons found it too hard to give intellect to blm instead of str
how will they neuter this game more in favor of the 60s years old furry hroth who doesnt know how to use his limit break in arch ultima?
>blm subjob monk
>run out of mp
>bash the enemy with your stick
I get the idea but goddamn I have underestimated how dumb the fanbase is. I'm a shadowbabby, so hearing stories like this makes me sad I didn't get into the game sooner.
blm never ran out of mp thou, never ever
jobs ran out of tp in hw
so melees literally had a constant disadvantage since their skills costed tp and sprinting would consume the whole tp bar
HW AST, the best and most fun one had a skill that could increase buff times up to 2 mins
and a card, arrow I think would increase attack speed, so feeding a mnk the extended card make em mald so mad because they would ran out of TP in 30 secs and spam a macro "will blow load for goad"
goad was a cross class skill that gave people a bit of tp, they also had manashift which would donate mana instead
cross class skills endured until a bit inside stormblood then they got gutted into the monstruosity we have now where everyone got arms length, lucid dream, second wind etc
the game used to be so much fun in HW
you could also just summon titan egi and tank shit and you had a special skill to heal the egi
i fricking hate what the game is now, thanks to these masturbator erp gays who don't even know how to play without touching their dicks
AST and SMN still played like that in SB, THOUGH. Also the class ability shit wasn't as homogenized in SB. Tanks didn't get arms length, having goad was sometimes worth it, don't remember if repose was given to all healers, tanks had more options, etc.
no they didnt.
AST got neutered in SB, all the buff juggle got cut and only the cards remained
you couldn't 1 min stunlock enemies anymore, stuff got replaced by royal road mechanic
SMN egi aggro and health got NUKED in SB, the heal skill was made obsolete before being removed and they could no longer hold aggro/solo stuff, the turbo dot build also got cut, miasma 2 along with all cross class dots got deleted
going from HW to SB really made the simplification of jobs noticeable, but most people that started in sb wouldn't notice, and shb babies and foward will never understand how satisfying it was to just stunlock something for 2 mins, or mess up TP usage of melees
If there's only one viable way to allocate stats then why have the system?
thats the easy/lazy way out of this problem.
the problem is that the devs took the easy/lazy way out too often and now the game is extremely sterile, when it was never all that crazy unique in the first place.
1 there wasn't
Tanks could go vit or str
wanna be bulky? vit, wanna risk that one shot buster but pump deeps? go str
this also continued in sb until they made it so that tanks don't benefit from str accessories at all
2 the balance issue is a dev issue, its their problem
3 removing it didnt changed balanced or improved the base scrub skill, so a fluff thing into the trash and this applied to all skills and systems removed under the principle that "making it simple will fix the skill gap between morons and hardcores"
what will they remove in 7.0 to attempt to maker moron erp trannies be better and not sandbag so hard? you can make the optimal choice arguement to any system/rotation/choice, optimal will always exist, and devs should not be so anally bind to it like 14 devs are or else you risk restricting fun and creativity, which they did, A LOT, over and over.
aren't you excited for xbros coming to play your game?
I'm done with MMOs.
How hairy is her pussy?
they made healers unfun
I want to do extreme trials for ARR content without unsynced cheese, thoughts?
What do you call it when you love logging to see numbers go up but you are too pussy for doing savage?
Cause I might have that obsession of needing to have the biggest dick where it doesn't matter at all.
autism
Not enough free time to be mmoing right now.
Way too big of a gaming backlog anyway.
6.5 still not out.
Can't visit my wife ingame right now because every fricking patch ends with her locking herself up in the most inaccesible libraries in the world so that this plotline can hopefully fricking end already.
Heavensward made me drop the game.
Can I get my pvp mount for this season if I start grinding RW a week before 6.5?
>he didnt complete the pvp season pass in week 1
ngmi
Uhhh I was clearly busy you know?
Yes, easily
Daily Frontlines Roulette give a pretty big chunk of XP regardless if you win or not, so do that too.
How much ilvl will be required for the next extreme trial?
See 6.4 extreme trial ilvl and compare it to the ilvl from previous tier. It should be about the same
Endsinger was 580, Barbariccia was 600, Rubicante 610 and Golbez 630. So I guess Zeromus will be 640?
It's probably going to be the same ilvl as the latest crafted gearset so yes I would imagine 640
Thanks anon, I want to be ready day 1. I could not play when the last patch released and I had to run Golbez EX weeks after it came out. What a nightmare it was.
>Beat Savage the week of release and am BiS on two jobs in different roles
>All Ultimates cleared
I don't mind drought season since now I can just take it easy and play other games while chipping away at various things in XIV. I'll have to sweat it out a bit with my group for the next Criterion but that's about it on the horizon.
why are raidere excited to not play the game, I see this sentiment a lot
it's like you're taking vacation from work which just convinces me you don't have a job irl
Raiders don't like playing the game, they just like having the cheevos. Its why so many cheat, and mentality isn't exclusive to XIV. It's just an MMO thing.
I've been playing the game almost every day for the past year and a half, it's good to have a break or you're just gonna get burned out (which I've experience already prior to Shadowbringers), so you can come back invigorated with new goals instead becoming a bitter doomposter because all you play and think about is a single video game.
It's not like all I do is raid either, but I've been playing so long that I'm largely caught up on other things the game has to offer too. I've got all the big fish, I have a maxed out racing chocobo, I've got every obtainable minion, I've got my DoH/DoL relics, I've done Eureka and DRS, and I've solo'd DDs. I've probably experienced and completed more facets of the game than the people who b***h about there being "nothing to do" have.
>I've been playing the game almost every day for the past year and a half
What do you actually do in game? What do you plan to do for the next 11 months? I'm also a caught up veteran like you and am planning to just sub at the tail end of 6.55 catch up on everything in one fell swoop.
Now? I already said I'm taking a break so I'm really just dabbling in PvP and maintaining my subs since I have an FC. Prior to two months ago or so (when the static collectively decided to wind down), I had a bigger impetus to take care of my dailies, was actually raiding and was doing whatever else took my fancy.
The plan's to frick about in Ultimates some time after the next patch drops. At the very least, I know I'll be doing the next Criterion Savage with the boys who are interested, but besides that I guess I'll chip away at old relics when I feel like it or farm mounts when I feel like it. Feeling like a one man army in my full elemental gear when Eureka becomes accessible to the trial players will probably be fun too.
>I've been playing the game almost every day for the past year and a half
Seek help.
Many of those days are just popping in to do a roulette or two on the days I wasn't raiding, Anon. It's not like "playing every day" means "playing for 6 hours every day".
Raiders have so much content in EW they get burnt out
Casuals/Midcore have nothing to do so they get bored
Basically SE needs to reallocate their resources
>Raiders have so much content
live from NYC is SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!!!
>3 raid tiers
>2 ultimates
>3 criterion dungeons
>7.0 will likely have it all again
Hardcore players don't want to believe it but this game caters to them more than anybody else
Even the usual things they complain about like the 2-minute meta came about due to their complaints
you think that is much?
anon the boss fights are basically over extended dances where the real challenge is keep sane while you see the same mechanic over and over, just so you can see another 30 secs of the fight with each pull
criterion would've a good alternative IF it had rewards, and the most odd part is how people complain about the "grind" mindset being le bad, but the savage version requires you to grind 100 tokens to get the mount, which is sellable.
criterion is by far the worse designed content they ever had up there with diadem
Yes this is a lot. Every patch you get gameplay that lasts the average player (read: not a world first racer NEET) a month for prog, possibly longer before you even get into reclears.
Players who aren't interested in hardcore content have nothing to hold them to new patches after a week at the most.
And I know what the challenge in raiding is, that doesn't change anything. Neither does the Criterion reward structure.
Even if it's pointless after completing it once it is still much meatier than what everybody else is getting.
I do agree that the rewards are shit but the content itself isn't bad at all, it is just the rewards are very lackluster. It's worth noting that they're looking into improving rewards for 7.x.
anon if you take 1 month to clear a raid tier chances are you are trapped in a very bad group
and don't act like you're throwing shade at world racers lmao neet makes it any better, the skillfloor to this game is already underground.
>Even if it's pointless after completing it once it is still much meatier
much meatier, more meat than what? a skeleton, interesting content gotta have both the combat mechanics and the reward, having one without the other makes it a broken design
you know what was also meaty? eureka and bozja, look what they're worth now, NOTHING, because they don't have replay value anymore so very few people still play it for fun or loot making it much harder for new players to even dabble in it, worse in the case of eureka since you require a group to pop and kill the bosses required for the relic
that is called bad design anon, not future proofing content was always an issue with exploratory content, the fact that they completely ignored it and released criterion not being even present proof is a sign of incompetence
> It's worth noting that they're looking into improving rewards for 7.x.
here is the problem, if they do, it will be for 7.0 criterion dungeons, 6.0 ones will be in this eternal state of not being worth much, at the very least you can do it solo for most rewards, so there is that, a lazy solution to future proofing.
Taking 1 month to clear a raid tier is the norm. I have seen people take FAR longer on raid tiers. And 1 month is like minimum for new ultimates.
And so many people still play Eureka and Bozja, I have no idea what you're on.
>And so many people still play Eureka and Bozja
30 people in pyros isn't "so many people"
neither are 40 something every friday clearing BA
good luck justifying this to a new player trying to get his Hydatos weapon, nay, his Anemos one
>Raiders have so much content in EW they get burnt out
They're burned out because the raids are bad. People weren't like this in SB
NOOO YOU HAVE TO BEAT EVERYTHING 2 WEEKS INTO RELEASE AND THEN COMPLAIN
What the frick is wrong with Arthars? He's so angry and pissed off all the time playing this game, he's shouting constantly at people in P10S. It's not a character it's him.
MMO raiding is a good way to end up hating everyone you interact with.
I'll have to remember that and never raid beyond the Normal fights. Sometimes I get the urge to do Savage but then I see the state of raiders like Arthars or try and speak to some who Savage raid and they treat it like a second job. I suppose I understand why but I'm not going to sweat the game where I know I will hate it if I do that content.
savages are not a second job, they are not even hard, a good group clears them all in an hr once you guys go into farming mode
streamers are not a good example of handling savages, because they need it as content, so they keep hitting their heads in there for views even when there is nothing more to do
the real issue with savaegs now is that combat is BOOOORING, all jobs play the same

post fishing log
I keep telling ya'll that you can't play a game for fricking 10 years straight.
If you played Ocarina of Time for 10 years, every day, you would think it's a shitfest of a game.
Being forced to interact with grown men that play as rabbit/cat girls in skimpy outfits makes my stomach churn. I'd rather sniff a rail of my grannie's ashes than associate with such homosexualry
I really wish clout chaser youtubers and shitposters started to make fun of the awful gay community this game has so these frickers can feel shame and shut down their moronic mentally ill constant jerking off to bad low poly chars
shame these frickers out of the game
>thinking normies can make fun of the gays in 2023
Watch out Antifa will get u
I use gay as a blanket term here, you know this community is a purulent zit shat out of satan's butthole during a strong diarrhea after shoving rotting rats in there, you know, its a lot worse than just being turbo homosexuals
pls don't cancel me and shower me with rape allegations, I kneel for our gay overlords
#occupylimsastreets
also frick gays with aids.
Kinda boring
i dont speak rice stick moron
my condolences
>the very same site also has this chart when you click on population data
hmmmmmmm
General population is counted there based on [any change to lodestone profile within the period]
Whereas the chart here
is stricter as [new achievement earned within period].
Achievement data is private by default, which explains most of the difference between the two, and there are also "players" who don't earn achievements often because they just log-on to afk/chat/erp/etc - but would be picked up by the looser methodology if they change glam or buy a minion or something.
>zepla single handedly killed ff14
bros..
Needs to go lower and DC visit needs limitations such as unable to use PF or enter savage/ults.
This is only gays who manually turned on publiv achievements, probably for xivcollect or lalachievements. i.e. not the casuals that make up most of the playerbase
because there is no content in the game anymore
you erp trannies killed the game nwo the devs only release parassols and sun glasses and dye channels and you morons cheer harder than for new content
>daily spam thread
God I despise weebs so much it's unreal.
because it's shit
I'm at work and don't like the thought of doing ARR relic books
Im too rusty for any sort of end game. And the casual shit is not fun
my sub ran out and I'm dealing with mental health shit. it also doesn't help that I feel no motivation or feel motivated to have a goal to go for in XIV.
shitty endgame, or more like no real endgame
>inb4 muh raids
boring after you do 3 of them
I stopped playing once I realized mostly trannies and homosexuals played it
I'm not trans.
All MMOs always change up classes too much to a point where it's not fun anymore, just braindead rotations.
Also leveling is a fricking chore in this game due to the duty finders dropping your level down for each dungeon. Just scale that shit is I can keep my abilities
PVP is forever trash for many reason I dont even need to get into because you already know them.
the only good thing about ffxiv is the community of degenerates, that says a lot about the current state of the game.
It really wasn't even close to how bad it is before Shadowbringers became popular. I seriously don't know why erp bawd glam gays got so bold and now wear that shit in every dungeon or raid like it's completely fine.
Because the california GMs protect them
you can't say nothing negative about these shitters in game, but they can talk about futa wiener gobbling in yell chat while in limsa
also, the NA community managers are diapergays
Name one thing that is objectively good past the main story of EW.
wrong reply m8
Black person at least find a better resolution for the OP.
I tried, the game is so fricking boring that it entirely turned me off MMOs so at least something good came of it.
I got a full time job, I miss wasting my days just playing ffxiv carefree.
I feel like if I go back I will just rush to complete shit so I'm dropping it.
Subscription prices make playing the game feel like a job because if you aren't constantly playing you are wasting money
I remember thinking like this when I was a poorgay 10 year old mustering up the courage to ask my dad to pay for my runescape membership.
I got an actual job. Most I can spend on video games daily is less than an hour. Maybe 3 hours on weekends. I ain't got time to pay for grinding in cat girl simulator. Being smart with money doesn't make you poor, in fact it does the opposite. Your year of a subscription could have been used to buy a new graphics card.
don't be a moronic homosexual, you homosexual
no gcard costs 144 buckos
get down of your high dildo you moron and pull the trigger
I tried the free trial and got bored half way through Heavensward. People lied about it getting better after ARR. I don't know what I expected. I hate WoW-clone Themepark MMOs so ofc I won't like it even if I do like FF.
How likely is it that I can experience the next patch launch if I sub for a month now?
Do the patches usually come out early or late in a month?
100% for the story, the patch is coming out on the 3rd. Some stuff (V&C, crafter relic, pvp) is coming out in 6.51 this time around which will be at the end of October though.
Oh wait, it's coming out early October? I thought it was late October.
If you wanna wait, we'll know for sure on the 23rd's Live Letter, but patch should be coming out in 2 weeks unless it got delayed last minute.
Hoping it's any day but the 3rd because I have both a uni trip and an exam that exact day.
Is there any reason you think it's the 3rd and not on the 10th?
It fits their usual timing between .x5 -> .0 patches and also yoshida make sure to higlight the word "early" when they said early October, and also there's usually one entire week before the liveletter and the patch coming out.
Well let's hope so, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
>Patch 6.1 Notes (April 11, 2022)

It kind of looks to me like 6.5 would be on the 10th.
patches ALWAYS come 2 weeks after the 2nd live letter for that patch
always on tuesdays.
as clockwork, every time since ever.
2nd live letter? but there hasn't been one for 6.5 yet so this would be the first one
there was one at fanfest

Content drought
The battle system sucks and there is absolutely no content if you aren't joining a static, the epitome of cancer in an "MMO"RPG.
>moron thinks raiding in a static is content
frickign kek
So there isn't any content at all then? Because there for sure isn't anything interesting to do in the open world, which only exists for beast tribe dailies and story reasons.
>So there isn't any content at all then?
No you should stop playing and never come back.
Yeah, I replied to the OP which asked why I am not playing it. Sorry that I am not joining your ERP dance clubs you failed normalgay.
yes, no content
everything is so without grind that you can pretty much do everything a new patch has in a week if you're playing competently
Orthos? can be downed in a day, fully
Island? not even content, downed in a week for loot
Criterion? downed in a week, not enough rewards to justify reclearing variant and another versions
no new raids until new xpac
alliance raid coming in 6.5 is normal mode catch up lgr tier content that you do once for gear.
then you have all your one time only story content like tataru, hildibrand and msq, once you're done, you're done, also, downed in a day
the mentality of "no grind", "casual friendly", "go and play other games" really neutered this game

Ok I'll be more charitable. You listed some activities that you described as content, but that are too short so:
>post EO clear (group or solo)
>post max level IS
>post normal Criterion clears
Surely at the very least you've completed these activities that you said you could complete in one day/week at most.
>trannoid thinks he is the arbiter by which people have to prove shit in this game otherwise any criticism is invalid
have a nice day
I knew it, I always expect too much from "no content" gays. At this point I'm convinced you just completed the MSQ and found everything else too difficult or are too autistic to make a group and actually attempt the content.
>Heh, all these things? Doable in one week, easy.
>Did I do them? No.
Post your week 1 DSR and TOP clears if you love content so much 🙂
I didn't clear those yet, that's why I don't complain about there being no content.
>I didn't because i was too busy jerking off to catgirls in limsa and posting in /vg/ to play the game, the game is fine because I jerk off to it every day
FTFY
Nah I was busy actually doing the content you listed, gay
>thinks achievs are a big deal
>posts it as if it's something
inferiority complex much?
do you also afk in limsa with the omega statue emote in front of the aetheryte so people know you're an idiot who spent 500 bucks in a xiv plastic statue?
No I just don't complain that the content is so short and easy without actually doing it. Surely you've got a spare day to clear all the content you said takes one day in order to provide informed feedback right?
>i sniff yoshi farts
>post pic sniffing his farts or else you're not a true fart sniffer
Where are your feast and diadem cheevos, bro???? You DID play the game at its peak, right?
how about you stop eating shit?
It's not a chat room, homosexual, you don't have to be online every hour of every day. Grinding isn't content. Play what the game offers then go do something else. Jesus fricking Christ I hate you dumb MMO addict morons so fricking much, literally destroyed the potential of an entire genre with your dopamine-addled brains.
go jerk off to your bunny girl homosexual and buy some overpriced plushie
you will defend this game even if it gives you shit to eat
>the absolute form of communication between players
>hurr, it's cancer
Why do you play MMOs? Is it not beautiful to see people execute tactics in coordinated fashion?
>Is it not beautiful to see people execute tactics in coordinated fashion
no, it never was
this is a cope by the xiv community to justify all raids being basically virtual ballet dances
there is satisfaction to be had in doing tactics, but there is none in xiv, there is no gotcha mechanic that someone can avoid with smart play or proper use of a niche skill, all fights boil down to
>move to x spot
>use skill y
>keep dpsing boss
blue mage is the last vestige of emergent gameplay in this game, being able to choose between pure crits, dots, bringing more dps skills or building sub groups for keeping debuffs up is the last vestige of fun in this game.
>blue mage is the last vestige of emergent gameplay in this game
shame it's fricking useless
Can you say something nice about Middies?
not as infested with troons and futa morons like viera and catgirls
somehow brings the most mid guys that exist
as bland as they come, which is good in this sea of ugly moronness
WoL is canonically a male Midlander. So they are automatically based by default.
They have cute butts, and i want to put my fingers in their bellybuttons
what keeps you shackled to this pile of shit?
The pron
>Almost a year later
>There is still virtually ZERO (heh) porn of zero to this day
Is this definitive proof that this character both failed to be a compelling character and that virtually nobody finds her attractive?
the game is just dead
xiv community are self insert morons, they just comission their avatars
there is zero porn of any char in this game outside shit tola
Been unsubbed since 6.1. Will remain unsubbed until they announce exploratory content for 7.0. No exploratory content, no me. Simple as.
Based, you literally have not missed anything of value, and judging from recent interviews, don't miss anything important ot interesting in DT.
Yoshi already said in interviews that they are bringing it back, but are just not sure how they improve the formula
same argument he used in SHB when people complained about no deep dungeon
expect bozja 2.0 in 7.0 for sure
No he didn’t, he just gave a corporate speak non answer that boiled down to “we’re thinking about it haha”
which is how he always says shit
because any hard confirmation sends the community morons in anal rage if it gets canned/delayed/changed
you were not around for overworld primal summoning promises, you would've seen how austistic this community is
man...
literal who stops playing
who cares?
Who?
Reminder that if anyone starts saying savage is midcore, this is where they got it from: https://youtu.be/Db_YqvBpf1A?si=1Ve4m2hS01Y36Y5j
If savage is midcore then so are ultimates because you're only looking at content by how much of a timesink it is. There are so many shitters or mediocre players that clear ults, actually clear and aren't piloted or carried, and it was always like this since SB. If savage is midcore then the only hardcore content is top 100 in Feast/Top 30 in CC.
uwu and tea are unironically less annoying than the past 2 savage tiers simply due to power creep
those titles and weapons are hardly braggin rights anymore
the only thing that separates these old ultis from savage is the amount of mechanics/speed they are pushed out
once you memorize it, it becomes such a bore that you can do with your eyes closed.
in our static we literally have several ulti raiders that partially fall asleep while doing shti like uwu
Yeah now, but where do you think "Legend btw" came from? Its always been the case since they released
>1 streamer says savage is midcore YESTERDAY
>this is where the months old opinion comes from
Savage is midcore, now go cope about failing at midcore content.
That means they're month-old opinion watchers. You are aware that XIV has a streamer problem since SHB, right?
And what do streamers have to do with an statement of fact? There is no argument here.
So Zepla is stating facts? She's a streamer after all. I thought this place was against her, how quick you people flip-flop to suit your opinion that XIV is in a good state.
>You agree with streamer X on one thing
>That means you agree with every streamer on everything
moron. You are not worth engaging with.
>You are not worth engaging with.
Just like EW content.
>IS is going to get abandoned
Way too many resources went into this thing only for it to mean frick all in the end.
Smells like cum in here
This expansion was trash besides DSR and launch month. If you were unsubbed for the rest of it you missed nothing. Housing and the mentally ill second life troons are whats keeping XIV alive.
>alive
I was in a hunt train with that guy at the start of EW and he was a c**t.
DSR is overrated tbh, ulti streamers were just starved for content.
I've told you many times already: I don't know how to erp. That's why I'm not playing.
Here, to give you some ideas.
>the only people still subbed are ESL autistic virgins
>It's not a chat room, homosexual, you don't have to be online every hour of every day. Grinding isn't content. Play what the game offers then go do something else.

OMG, new mod released, gotta spend 5 hrs in gpose screenshotting my EB UwU
I hate this community so much
The aesthetics are horrible, I logged in for 30 seconds and that was enough to put me off.
Because square enix is gay and won't let me marry yshtola.
Endwalker is the PS5 of XIV expansions.
i don't think i've ever seen so many people displeased with a xiv expansion than now
even content creators are having literal breakdowns and are throwing in the towel
its crazy
and there's still 1 year of this
Watch out, you can't say EW is displeasing, that stardiver troony and his mooks are gonna say HW was worse (he's a shadowbab)
>and there's still 1 year of this
>new xpac comes in summer
>summer
oh no, oh boy, oh shit
>EW is the PS5 of XIV
Absolutely perfect analogy
>EW is a PS5, flashy but completely shallow and those in charge rest on the laurels of their previous successes instead of bothering to improve
>SHB is PS4, a smash hit that started to stray from the path, has some quality where it matters but you'll rarely, if ever, hear a different opinion on where that quality lies
>SB is PS3, laughed at initially and struggled for a while but generally agreed to be the last time things turned out good and made a great turnaround
>HW is PS2, nothing else needs to be said
>ARR is PSX, new and exciting, while it copies the competitor it immediately made a name for itself and there's almost always something you didn't know existed back then when you look through it once more for old times sake
>Try Sanctuary Island
>its boring, and not in the relaxing kind of bore like Gatherer on Diadem
>Try Bozja
>Actually fun content even if its a grind mostly
>Raids are actually tough
I've been paying zero attention to the story, and I want more gold coins so I can get some Law Order Armor. Who's got a good looking set, Fending/Maiming, Aiming, Healer/Caster?
If the next FF mmo ends up being a full on action combat game, how would you want it to be structured?
Dawntrail will save the game, TRUST THE PLAN.
>ShB and EW were high stakes, do it due stories
>Dawntrails is a back to adventure deal
Sounds great
just like "Newfound Adventure"
trust the plan, goy
>he believes it's a low stakes adventure
>there's a giant crack in the planet right above the new capital
>we've been getting hints that killing Zodiark fricked shit up for the Lifestream ever since 6.0
>Dawntrail, following the path of Azem
>final boss is Necron inside the lifestream
>turns out he was the one who corrupted Meteion
>new arch is fighting cosmic horror cthulhu esque entities
I wish
last boss will be el no zenos, our new mexican enemy
out he was the one who corrupted Meteion
So instead of having the Meteia corrupted by their own discovery and their conclusion that life is meaningless, you think they should go 'lol no, it was Necron that mind fricked them' instead? Are you moronic?
XIV has been a retcon machine for years now, the new writers don't care about the established lore.
>Retconning the main reason why EW, hell literally the entire story even happened literally one expac after it explained it all
Anon. No
But enough about EW retconning the noise from within and Venat's convocation one expansion later.
Ok.
>The noise supposedly came from the planet
It never really explained why they heard a funky noise. Not really a retcon seeing as it may come up again later, given how it was never mentioned again.
>We know literally frick all about Venat's group
Even back in ShB people were saying they are the Twelve. So yet again. Not a retcon.
But they're not the twelve, they're OG primals made by Venat to make sure Eorzea has something to protect them. Her convocation was retconned, as was her duty of being Hydaelyn's heart. Instead, she just sorta...is Hydaelyn. Meanwhile Elidibus isn't bound in the same way. In fact, them being the hearts if their primals may as well be a retcon too.
>Her convocation was retconned, as was her duty of being Hydaelyn's heart.
Again. They didn't retcon her group. We literally saw them in one scene. And it never said Venat was Hydaelyn's heart. That was just assumed, and honestly Venat becoming a Primal makes more sense the Edlidibus being the heart of one
anon, the other anon points stand, yours are moot and non arguments, those were retcons
you are arguing under the pretense of ignorance to mechanics/lore that are well estabilished in game.
>They're retcons because I said so
>they're not retcons cuz iam an illiterate autist who can't read and doesn't know what connotations are
More information being revealed isn't a retcon. Especially if it fits with what is known. Stop seething over EW's story not going how you thought it would.
>a retcon is not a retcon because ad hominem haha iam so smart
autistic at best
>Watches show
>A character gets a vague/basic explanation about his power in one season

>REEEEEEEE! RETCON RETCON!
This is you
>vague explanation
>tv show analogy
your next line is "ffxiv is an rpg first and mmo second..."
You deflect because you know I'm right. I bet you started autisticly screaming about retcons when Gohan went Super Saiyan 2 in DBZ as well.
>deflecting
congratz on learning a new word anon
you still are an illiterate monkey and analogies dont change in game lore that proves you are wrong
endwalker retconned the source of the noise right after shadowbringers
endwalker retconned the ancients being a gestalt civilization to some arrogant morons with too much power
and both were written by the same person
consistency have been thrown out of the room for years now anon
>endwalker retconned the source of the noise right after shadowbringers
Wrong. The Ancients thought it came from the planet but we're proven wrong
>endwalker retconned the ancients being a gestalt civilization to some arrogant morons with too much power
Gee anon, a decent portion of the population of a civilization of people with literal god level creation magic and literal immortality are arrogant. Golly, I never saw that coming. It's almost like the version we saw of them in SHB was an idealized version of them created by Emet-Selch to push the fact that his people were better then the sundered masses.
>but we're proven wrong
moronic mcmorony
it was stated with all letters "a rumbling coming from inside the planet"
EW saying "an emo bird sang and the ley lines shaked lmao" IS A RETCON you illiterate clown
>Gee anon, a...
Why would I expect a hood monkey to understand what Gestalt entails...
>EW saying "an emo bird sang and the ley lines shaked lmao" IS A RETCON
Explaining prior vague statements isn't a retcon at all you daft wanker
>prior vague
>ignores all lore lines with connotative tones
yep, illiterate monkey.
It's not a retcon because the rumbling was probably Pandemonium getting yeeted into the lifestream. But her you want a retcon? I'll give you one.
Remember how after the Antitower Hydaelyn tells WoL through Minfilla that Zodiark is the end all be all baddie and it waking up would mean death for everyone? Only for it to turn out she was straight up lying but it never gets brought up? That's a retcon. That entire conversation may as well have not happened now.
>rumbling was probably Pandemonium
anon, we "fix" it several decades/millenia before the final days, at that point Panda is inert, the rumbling was right when the final days were ramping up as it was what was making magic go haywire.
and dont even get me started on how Panda and Ultima being the cause of the final days is immensely better than depressed bird... how did they allow ishikawa to shit that out?
>and dont even get me started on how Panda and Ultima being the cause of the final days is immensely better than depressed bird...
That would have been interesting.
remember when zodiark was a dark crystal floating in the lifestream as seen in the end of ARR?
lets pretend it never happened, haha zodi is in the moon, le funny
You mean that crystal that gets shown literally one time at the end of 2.0's story and never gets shown again. And no, that isn't the crystal at the bottom of the Zodiark arena.
the whole zodiark in the moon but not evil is a huge retcon from the estabilished lore regarding the creation of the world
but you yoshi wiener suckers will say that that whole lore is wrong because it was explained in EW that it was wrong
Black folk like you are the reason the game is dying
>the whole zodiark in the moon but not evil is a huge retcon from the estabilished lore regarding the creation of the world
alright anon stop before you shit your pants, you're already mixing up your shitposting scripts with trying to push "yoshida wienersuckers" cultist angles at the same time as "deeply established lore was retconned"
WoW pulled that shit and we've seen where it led, I don't see FFXIV having that particular pitfall.
Meteion and ancients were already two feet in that direction.
>so you're telling me that the final days instead of being a mysterious force rumbling from inside the earth and corrupting magic, you think they should go "lol no, its a magic bird kid made by one specific ancient that travelled thru space got depressed and is singing somewhere making corrupting magic"
anon... where do I start?
>The treasure hunt leads everyone to some a partially submerged magitek city that's recently surfaced
>mfw it's Zanarkand
>mfw Sin pops up
Wow look at that continent that's larger than Eorzea. It sure would be a shame if it only contained a couple zones and was immediately forgotten the following expansion. SURELY they've learned from their mistakes in Yanxia and Endwalker THIS time.
garlemald will get unclouded will it?
why yoshi hates it so much?
Aldenard will get unclouded for one zone in 8.0 despite being a great three continent. At this point XIV needs to simply work with what it has instead of rushing to other parts of the map. I also blame flying, we just have big empty zones instead of smaller ones that naturally fit together.
wonder what USA Etheirys is like
It would be pre-Columbian native tribes, we already know from BLU quests.
This shit look so bad compared to the BLU native users on ffxi
It's gonna be Monument Valley with cowboys settlers and Canada with Native Blue Mages.
>Dragon over literally south america + Lizardmen
Middy explain this.
>No large commercial town at the nearest coast to Eorzea
Care to fricking explain why boats need to take a huge fricking turn to El dorado instead of taking the shortest line to the new world, near the obvious dinosaur land huge frick off lakes?

Yes it is. They confirmed she plays a major role.
Just like she was playing a major role in SB and EW right? Lol. I can tell you're a new player, they never have any skepticism over what Yoshida blurts out.
it's not krile xpac, it will never be her xpac

No, social media killed the novelty of MMOs. Its really a dead genre.
MMOs are a dead genre
they are being milked to death or trying to adapt to "modern audiences" via dumb pandering, wow and gw2, or by trying to be as casual, 2nd life esque as possible, xiv.
Playing?
>the most popular ffxiv streamer only played the game once in the past month
What went wrong?
There's no midcore content in the game by his own admission. You clear savage and you're done, there's no ult next patch so there's nothing to do in the gsme.
everyone quit. only terminal shit eaters are sticking around
There's no content for anyone that has been playing for long. This patch subbed people will just be catching up on ultimates or doing cheevo grinds.
You play MMOs when there is nothing else that interests you.
So many games are releasing right now that most people won't even think of touching XIV until 6.5.
There is literally no content to do after this long. The guy pretty much did everything he wanted to do.
dawntrail needs to purge twitch viewers, msq vampires and wowfugees

Nophica bless bunboys
I honestly don't mind that the game population is dying down. Because I've noticed a sharp drop in trannies and the like. Maybe shit will go back to how it was pre-SHB?
For me, I noticed the opposite. People (trannies) that obsess over scions and shipping are the ones staying while normal players are leaving because content and jobs are too shallow.
Guess it just depends on the cluster
Nah it’s quite literally the opposite. The terminally online troons are the ones sticking around afking while normal people are quitting.
I'm tempted to come back but between BG3, Starfield, and soon Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty I am just too distracted to bother with a subscription based game. Also I just built a new PC for those 3 games and it kind of sucks that it makes no difference for FF14 which I could already run at max settings.
you havent lived until you built a $2000 PC to boot up games like this specifically.
Playing RO on private servers just won’t be the same. You can’t bring back early 2000s weeb girls.
I like endwalker and I love final fantasy fourteen
Too focused on a boring story, too childish as well.
I like the characters but they are too unrelatable and alien for me to care.
Great soundtrack, and leveling is fun, but that's about it

There's no reason to log in.
At least in ShB you had Bozja and an actual relic grind.
It really is amazing how bad SE managed to frick up the momentum they had at the end of ShB going into EW, they had the mmo market handed to them on a golden platter thanks to WoW shitting the bed and still couldn't capitalize on the opportunity.
What's the WoW expac where everything started going downhill?
Immediately after Activision acquisition, so WotLK
people started unsubscribing after they killed the lich kang, probably because that wrapped up the WC3 story for them.
same might happen with FF14 now that its main story arc is done.
Cata or mist depending on who you ask
for me it was mist because it was the first huge dumbing down of combat and simplification of everything so noobs could get geared
cata had its moments and it was mostly disliked due to the raids/story, but combat was still solid

It's baffling they didn't notice this before when Hades was also getting melted with most mechanics skipped. Endsinger should sync 570.

Post high res
Be real with me: FF14 or WoW?
14
neither, honestly, both are in a pretty bad state
avoid mmos all together rn
This is the real answer. Its just better to play singleplayer games or just other more fun and interactive multiplayers
neither.
seriously.
FF14 if you want a significantly more active community and a world-chat that isn't /misc/ lite, WoW if you want to witness a dying MMO that used to be king
>and a world-chat that isn't /misc/ lite
And a dead in game chat where no one ever talks at all due to being afraid of being banned for hurting someone's feelings.
FTFY sis
>And a dead in game chat where no one ever talks at all due to being afraid of being banned for hurting someone's feelings.
Sounds like a skill issue, Coeurl's normal chat is just fine in population centers or large gatherings like hunt trains. Are you forced to play with Germans that take offense to everything you say and the GMs have to comply since they're the lowest common denominator in the EU for censorship laws?
na, Aether is pretty much a deadzone
only rarely some morons erp in /say chat and all comunication is thru LS and LS only or discord ughhh
Come to Crystal, white man.
When you can get reported for literally anything that offends some homosexual sensitivity, it's no wonder people prefer fricking discord as a communication tool and stick to ambiguous passive aggressive statements in game.
exactly, I've had a homosexual threaten to report me for using the sloopy meme in a ex roulette where the drk tank couldnt keep the trash mob and died during the first pull
the amount of sensitive homosexuals in this game is moronic.
I blame you Black folk who want this game to be second life

>cross-region travel (Yoshi-P said this takes no extra work from cross-DC but we will conveniently forget this)
This one is already implemented, there's a Voyager "title" for cross-region DC visitors, but Yoshida went full JP ONRY and he's holding off on it.

I know, but that's not going to stop people from using it as an excuse. A lot of people already don't know that Yoshi P said it's possible at the flick of a switch.

The jobs are no longer fun to play.
most people that swing this complaint around turn out to have been playing since heavensward or stormblood, and i guess no shit you don't find it fun when you've been doing it for 6+ years
moron, they keep removing what's fun about jobs. If HW or even SB jobs remained in the game to date, I would not be bored.
just say you're a scholar, dark knight or astrologian main and cut to the fricking chase
But it's HW MCH I miss the most.
Had the jobs stayed the same I would've begrudingly and sullenly agreed.
But when I go from juggling five dots, damage fields, resources, a seperate GCD for the pet, debuffs, buffs and a togglable stance to...
pressing the same button twelve times, refresh a 30s dot, and repeat from level 4 to 90
Then I find the issue is the game has had too much taken away than my tastes stagnated.
>scholar main
>and i guess no shit you don't find it fun when you've been doing it for 6+ years
jobs didnt stop being fun because someone played too much, they stopped ebing fun because their mechanics got neutered.
hw ast is not the same as sb ast which is not the same as shb ast which is not the same as ew ast
up until sb you had mechanics that you had to consider and skills to use outside your stiff rotation, that is no longer the case
you can't squeeze a little more dps by stance dancing as a tank
you can't pump up so much dmg that you need to use the aggro reducing skill as a sam or drg or risk eating a tank buster
you don't have to worry about mana anymore as a caster
you dont have to silence mobs
you dont have to stun mobs
you dont have to esuna people
everything now boils down to fitting your burst inside the buff window and everyone being at the right place at the right time
someone messed up? you cant cover them
someone is in the wrong spot? chances are your rescue will just make the mechanic explode the whole party together rather than exploding everyone separate
there is no creative solution to boss mechanics anymore
everything is under strict rails
the biggest choices you can make in a raid now is decide with the tank who is invul which tb or if you're dropping a shield in a tank or a tetra once he invuls the buster
the combat is sterille my dude
>you can't squeeze a little more dps by stance dancing as a tank

But they are being used which means they aren't being phased out. I agree they should use role specific CC more and fix caster CC being a long ass cast bar.
The game is designed as a theme park for FF fans to wax nostalgic about older titles and over time become fully playable as a single player JRPG when it reaches end of life. If you gated combat with HW autism, most people would drop the game.
>If you gated combat with HW autism, most people would drop the game.
you make it sound as if hw combat was majong lvl of knowledge
it wasn't that hard, and people didn't drop, people got interested and kept playing
it was only with shb that this criticism started regarding the game.
casuals would not drop because they're required to perform in raids, as this is still a requirement, all the devs did was take the lazy approach and make it worse for people who want a more interesting combat, under the pretense that this would entice and improve it for the casuals
guess what, casuals still frick shit up, and still complete casual content, casuals still kill everyone for not doing mechanics, even when they don't have to worry with anything outside pressing a rotation set in stone
the mindset that "we gotta take care of casual players" is what is slowly killing this game, casuals do'nt care about it, they barely notice, they join expert roulettes without their skills locked behind job quests and no one even notices.
I have literally seen FC members refuse to touch ShB SMN because of its reputation for being "complex" when you could just mash the buttons that light up and do decent damage. It's not about objective difficulty it's about how it's perceived in casual eyes.
your friend was a facebook/ plebbit user wasn't him?
yucks, imagine basing your opinions on cancer social media
Devs didn't change it for casuals, they changed it for hardcore players
Casuals don't even give a shit, they will perform badly and let people carry them.
The current design direction around combat is to make each job rotationally simple to master so that they can focus on difficult mechanics.
The devs have said before that their aim has been make rotations more simple so there's less of a gap between the low and high end. The ironic thing is, the strictness of 2 min burst has made the gap about as wide as it was before, sometimes even wider. They were in a good spot in Stormblood besides a few genuine stinkers (WHM, MCH), but now they've dug themselves into a hole.
>shb ast which is not the same as ew ast
Idk about AST specifically but a lot of the jobs I played were pretty much the same from ShB to EW tbh. Except Paladin when that got reworked mid-expansion. I think this is why newbies don't realize how different job design was pre-ShB.
Most jobs haven't changed a whole lot since Stormblood, people fixate on the outliers of SCH/DRK/AST.
and MNK, MCH, SMN, PLD, and NIN.
People only bring up SMN to complain about it being neutered job attachment in the playerbase for it is through the roof compared to before and PLD to complain about its janky phys/mag phase transitions being scrapped for an all-encompassing FoF in line with the other tanks. MNK, MCH and NIN have nothing but positives going for them since Stormblood, Monk's gone the longest it ever has in its entire life without a full rework and people are actually playing Machinist at all these days. For a lot of fights in Stormblood there were literally no parses with a Machinist on-board, that's how dogshit it was.
>Nothing has changed and if it has then that's a good thing
Not a single soul is going to defend Stormblood Machinist or White Mage.
Eh PvP MCH in its current incarnation is a slice of the old gunmage concept. I don't know that I would have kept it either personally.
The way MCH/BRD casts in PvP is fundamentally different than how it was in HW, which was more like how healers are now with 1.5s cast times, but I think if it were how the PvP casting works, the reception wouldn't have been as polarizing.
Thing is though, because MCH was designed around it with its combo, ammo system and gauss barrel toggling, there was a lot more room for skill expression and a very high ceiling associated with playing it well, and learning the nail that opener genuinely felt good.
Machinist felt fricking perfect in HW and they took a massive shit all over it because BRDs hated bowmage instead of keeping it as a MCH specific gimmick (which was designed around it in the first place). The way it currently plays still isn't as fun or as satisfying as it was back then.
But I don't have to look at that dogshit Gauss Barrel now, so its an objective improvement even if its otherwise worse.
As a SMN main I simply must point out that it is infinitely better now than it ever has been. Both mechanically and in visuals. The class was pure suffering before EW.
I have a treat for you.
Summoner back in SB was for sweatlords who weren't competent enough to play Black Mage but wanted similar damage, and still wanted access to a Raise. You are delusional if you think SMN was ever not a jingle-keys job
you would think smn was a jingle keys jobs but people can't even handle something as basic as pet management, so i'm inclined to disagree
People can handle pet management just fine, the problem was they couldn't get pets working worth a pinch in this game or its engine so they more or less got scrapped. Bahamut and Eos outright had dementia in Stormblood, Shadowbringers is the only time pets mostly worked.
nah mate people even today are screeching up and down about how pets 'didn't work' in shb despite it completely being in control of the player and the sad truth that they just couldn't be bothered to put in the effort to handle pets
I still dropped Wyrmwaves and the Phoenix equivalent from time to time in Shadowbringers, shit no worky and that's not a good thing for a completely pet-dependent job.
didn't happen unless you moved bahamut and phoenix badly and that's on you
>didn't happen unless it did and then it was your fault
well it was avoidable and foreseeable, so yeah it was your fault?
>avoidable and foreseeable
Lol die
>Summoner back in SB was for sweatlords
>who weren't competent enough
yup ive never played the game before shadowbringers but i will pretend I did because I gotta justify current design somehow
I, too, can quote a sentence fragment as a reason to throw an entire post out. If you'll excuse me I'm late for my family reunion, or as I like to call it, a blind-date.
Yeah god forbid I actually enjoy...you know...summoning things. I didn't realize that I was supposed to give a frick about 5 min openers and managing DoTs.
I like that the rotation is simple. I don't really play that much anymore but whenever I do I like to just jump on and get into it. I'm not sorry that I enjoy the visuals. I turn my summon size to max too. Does that bother you homosexual?
Yes, you've summed it up. Current SMN appeals to people who want to engage with the game at the lowest possible level and a different job that happened to share the same name had to be sacrificed to make it happen.
>Current SMN appeals to people who want to engage with the game at the lowest possible level
Old SMN appealed to raiders who wanted a Savage clear at the lowest possible engagement level. What are you on about
Pretty sure that was DNC.
Dancer replaced Bard in groups, not Summoner.
What does that have to do with anything?
Nobody dropped Summoner for Dancer, dip.
I didn't say that moron. What are you even talking about?
no it wasn't dancer, low-effort raiders aren't attracted to low personal-DPS jobs, they kept on with summoner in spite of changes or filtered over to something like dragoon that became a beast in shadowbringers
unfunny falseflag
Swear to god I'm real. I don't care if you think it's a hot take or whatever.
as a SMN main I must tell you that you're wrong, but you're also right
SMN now feels like SMN
but the old warlock SMN was FUN and it WORKED, you could spot a good HW SMN from a bad one in just one look
And while I agree that SMN being an actual SMN and not a warlock fits in terms of lore
I hate that they abandoned dotmancer and how they are moving away from dots alltogether
people who complained about SMN in HW beign mechanically "hard" were just dumb morons, it was good to have one job that wasn't revolving around combos for once and that had jiggle room, POTD was fun as a SMN solo exactly because it had a toolkit that fit soloing
now we got
red flavor ogcd
yellow flavor ogcd
green flavor ogcd
burst
the legos are gcds THOUGHEVER
No, they haven't changed much since ShB. Stormblood had more similarities with HW design since you had things like aggro actually mattering, tank stance dancing being a thing, healer MP being a consideration and 2-min burst meta not being baked into rotations.
>aggro actually mattering
lol
>tank stance dancing
lol
>healer MP being a consideration
*mana shifts u*
>2-min burst meta
was already emerging just from parselords synchronizing buffs
And BRD. Wow, like basically every job from before SB has radically changed. Even SAM and RDM which were supposed to be future proof feel off in EW compared to SB.
the only thing i miss about old bard was the party interactivity of getting mana shifted for battle voice or whatever the MP-draining party buff was, DoT song effects only proccing on a critical DoT tick was HORRIBLE
most got little change from shb to ew or no change at all
but going from sb to shb, everything changed, the two jobs that changed the least were rdm and sam which served as the trial for how current job design is
>build gauge
>spend gauge
>keep it simple
moron never played sb
you gonna tell me shb mnk was the same as sb?
>everyone who complains about my insanely easy game must be a moron who spends years grinding worthless content with minimal attention span combat instead of picking it up and dropping it after a month every few years
Now this is projecting.

It'll probably be a fusion of the both of if Pictomancer really is the new caster.. but I still say Spell Fencer
How the frick do you flavor "Spell Fencer" when RDM exists.
watch corsair be reverse RDM
>makes spellfencer a reverse some other class
bam, you now have some 16 new job ideals, reverse [insert job]
>The Mystic Knight fuses magic spells which includes damaging spells or status inducing spells into their equipped sword. The wielder will smite enemies with their Spellblade.
That's how
Mystic Knight could pretty easily ape Samurai (for obvious reasons) way more than it does Red Mage. Rather I would think that a Mystic Knight would be a second pass at Monk's stances, since new jobs revolve around using scrapped mechanics from old jobs (Reaper and Sage use Heavy Thrust + Sole Survivor from DRG/DRK and Dark Arts from DRK respectively)
>Aero Sword or Thunder Sword for fast attacks or setting DoTs
>Fire Sword or Stone Sword for heavy-hitting attacks

it will never be painter
this is dellusion in the same lvl as GEO
the devs barely make jobs feel unique and fun rn, they simply can't make a job where you paint stuff feel fun in such strict ruleset
as a limited job? it would be fun, as a regular job? never ever, painter was always a blue mage esque job
'member when the mystel kitten wanting to be an alchemist was a sure-fire thing for CHM?
>they simply can't make a job where you paint stuff feel fun in such strict ruleset
i think the bigger issue is that relm is just a stand-in for a beastmaster, she gets that relic that makes sketch into control for a reason. any draft would either
>have nothing to do with relm, it would be a painter mage

Why did they do this? Chrysalis takes as long as Steps of Faith while also being fricking boring, and 9 out of 10 times you get someone wasting the LB
Potencies are so fricking jacked up nowadays you don't need the LB to comfortably win.
assuming the dps and tanks aren't new and know what they're doing, otherwise you got dps trying to soak meteors or tanks doing anything but catching meteors
Chrysalis is cringe
Yeah that whole thing is fricking peculiar
Chrysalis is based
Steps of Faith should've been a featured Unreal. Let new players experience a taste of how things used to be, stop ripping the past fragments of soul out of the game. XIV Classic as a whole is a dumb idea, but I would genuinely love for old skills and proper ilvl sync to be an option in some way for select fights. Like imagine sprouts FINALLY doing Coils while capped at 50, TP, cross-class abilities.
There hasn't been any gameplay since it released, the slow increase in players is because normalgays picked it up with how easy it is, and brainless zoomers matured and thought MMOs and FF games are supposed to be like this and this would be a good place to start.

golly gee i'll spam a mind numbing filler combo then hit fell cleave 6 times every minute, such emergent gameplay
why is anybody ever excited for any job, we should all just commit ritual suicide to appease the dark god blizzoth
which caster gets fell cleave?
SMN
SMN is a GNB caster, Titan just gives you Continuation
smn has nothing to weave with titan so that's completely irrelevant. the way the game just hands you a high potency gcd to mindlessly spam every 60s is exactly like fell cleave
Unironically the game would probably be better if they didn't add anything after Stormblood.
didn't ask

GNB but only because the other 3 were lobotomized.
gunbreaker or dark knight imo
