You want 3.x DRK back? The DRK that lost to PLD in utility and lost to WAR in damage? Fricking moron. "b-b-b-but muh old rotations and mechs", your shit was awful in 3.x and that's why nobody played DRK
With that thing about Zero giving Ryne the Memoria Crystal with Zeromus, it really seems to be like they are setting up First/Thirteen restoration. Would surprise me if they do both at the same time
It would make sense, since they clearly intend to involve Gaïa in the whole thing, but they're too cowardly to ever make a raid series mandatory for the MSQ, so anything involving her can only be side content.
people where hyped when they revelead unulkalhai real identity in hw
people got hyped when they did voidquests in shb, look where that brought us
at this point the devs should not be trusted with following up stuff because they are so motivated to let everything 1.0 behind that they will either forget or completely ignore.
dude, the mistery of the elementals still got no explanation to this day, it was just quietly sidelined and shove in a few lines here and there "they're asleep, they're related to gods, elementals are arcane entities with no soul"
which explains zero ass shit regarding their behavior in 1.0, apparent time travel powers, and dimension hoping
yes and no, elpis talks about elementals as a whole, all aspected sprites, like the many you see in low lvl zones, these are not the gridania elementals
gridania elementals are like the eureka fairies
and while the elpis explanation do apply to them
like ive said
"elementals are arcane entities with no soul"
they never explained what they are, and why they're like that
no other elemental in elpis or elsewhere have the power to bend reality, teleport people to nowhere and basically start a large disaster if they want too
they didn't even explain the correlation between the gridanian mask and the elementals, in lore the masks are used to soothe the elementals, and while you can clearly make a correlation with the ancient masks, this is a connotation given by the players, the writers aren't even aware of this and likely ended up being just a coincidence as they never address it, fully, or even hint to it.
in the end, the only "explanation" we end up getting is the one the community came up with because the writers clearly don't give a shit about old lore
want another mistery that they will never touch ever again? the depths of gelmorra being light aspected so much that it resembles vaulthry sin eater palace, there is clearly a connection there, but in shb they didnt even get near gelmorra and decided to use writer's pet char and assets with the CT and simp cat
we have just so much that they choose to ignore out of laziness
a void arc in patches and no mention of the void ark technology or mhachi knowledge being used to handle it?
no cylva and unulkalhai? even when they were the void characters up til zero showed up
making gaia, who can literally shard travel and open portals for voidsent be relegated to an additional dialogue in MSQ when you're in theory dealing with a catastrophe tier event under a ticking clock?
"world may end? ok call me next time wol, wink wink, imma eat cookies"

based, glad to see people actually pay attention to lore.
Kids that were kidnapped by the elementals are still missing too, while Nophicia said "they didn't do nothin'."
Bitch, what?
>the depths of gelmorra being light aspected so much that it resembles vaulthry sin eater palace, there is clearly a connection there
I thought that was because gelmorra was the burial ground for amdapor, which was just as far into light as mhach was void.
Yeah, that's why they could discover/use it.

No, Amdapor was during the War of the Magi in the Fifth Astral Era. Gelmorra is an early Sixth Astral Era civilization created when people came back down from the mountains after the flood. Gelmorra directly led into Gridania.
DRK was literally the only reason why I started playing this garbage game. Too bad the gameplay is just slowed down wow. I would play wow again but wow's fashion is probably the worst in the mmo history
The only thing that made DRK remotely good was its much higher damage compared to the other tanks
Now that it doesn't do good damage, it's worthless
It needs better self sustain
NTA but if you think drks only benefit was it's damage and not the fact it also has some of the best (if not the best) self mitigation in savage/ultimates while also still having some of the most insane levels of 2minute burst damage that compares to fricking melee jobs, then i'm inclined to believe you barely even play savage yourself.
well big grin is right and can confirm, it really depends on the tier/fight, this savage specifically every other tank is better now, in ults yeah drk has its uses (not the 70 ults, bringing drk to those is griefing)
if savage continues to be full uptime then every other job is better
sure you get the 2 mins but ONLY if you have the raid buffs to elevate it to be actually good
if you bring in a blm sam mch sage and whm then drk is garbage
>it really depends on the tier/fight, this savage specifically every other tank is better now
this wasn't true in endwalker, nor was it true in shadowbringers either. i don't get why you homosexual drk try to undermine how powerful this job actually is, it's like you guys have some sort of grudge from when warrior completely dominated heavensward, drk will most likely continue to be the premier tank in fricking dawntrail too and you guys will continue to pretend it's somehow the worst tank in the game.

You can make the other tanks work fine with mit probably, I guess Dark Mind is a pretty crazy mit for busters but the other tanks have passive mitigation with Bulwark/Camo and Thrill is "ok" I guess

well it is true in endwalker now, since 6.4, i mean it had better damage than pld but now pld can pull better damage if no raid buffs
also why do you have such a hateboner for drk? like you do understand that everyone has to mit the same way right? so what does it matter if you have the best mitigation (which isn't true for most current savage fights) when everyone either kitchen sinks, 28%s or invulns everything?
i guess heart of corundum literally being pocket excog, bloodwhetting being the best self-heal in the game and whatever the frick pld has is as good as oblation and tbn... OH WAIT IT ISN'T which leads me to my next point

i don't think tbn is as good as people think it is, in savage is very dependant on situations (aside from tbs and aoes sure i'm talking more that it's a good run-saver if you manage to protect someone with it which in most current savage cases it really doesn't happen because lmao bodychecks) while in ults it's better due to auto-attacks in most of them or constant damage going out

I think the longest was 3.1, I think I unsubbed for half a year or more because of the state of the game
I took a decent break in ShB too
I already consider Gaia just showing up in the MSQ to be a huge victory. Maybe they'll stop with the "uhhh sidecontent character, gomen"shit by next expac.
>"There are other natives of the Thirteenth working toward our same goal?" >"Damn that's crazy lol tell them I said hi or something I guess lol anyway later"
i was planning to rush through a Sage and a Red Mage on the role quest shit, but realizing it's little more than a pointless side mention that may as well not exist made me pull the trigger and go finish shit instead
side quests have been one of the greatest abortions in this game
shb void quests are cool, but they ultimately will lead nowhere
you even see unulkalhai learning how to open void portals and realizing the kid from the mage role quests may be his 1st shard
you have cylva invinting you elsewhere and showing you that she was the shadowlord and telling how gaia and mitron send her to the first promising that the 1st calamity would fix the 13th, and in consequence showing how gaia and mitron og plan was actually unfrick the 13th and they didn't expect ardbert to be competent enough to destroy them
then the quest ends with a promise of future iterations but you know, this is xiv, so frick these guys, lets make a brand new writer's pet and make this all about her instead
essentially everyone is getting the gaius treatment, give em a side quest and let em rot where people won't remember
yes, but instead of sylvanas we have estinien and graha
iam even willing to bet that somewhere down the line they will have to "reforge" a hydaelyn or zodiark because the lifestream is dying or something, then a new char will pop out of nowhere and become the thing, like how wow did with that troony becoming the new lich king in sh
I don't understand why sidequest and fates give such shit XP, the most optimal way to level up is POTD, Bozja and dungeons, I'm fricking shit of it, at least sidequest would let me experience lore, run around the world ALL while advancing levels in my other jobs
it's like they like to syphon fun from the game, why not try to design something about FUN value instead of time wasting? the more fun something is the more people will play it, thus making you more money in the end
I honestly think the leveling experience in FF14 is one of the worst. Not the worst, I don't have enough experience in MMOs to really say that hard, I know some shit out there gets super moronic and especially on Korean games. But 14's leveling is all based around "take this job through an expansion and you'll be leveled and probably come out the other end ready for the next expansion", and then every other job is stuck spamming roulettes and Bozja/Deeps excessively to an absurd degree. It's not about the speed, an efficient player can speed that along in no time, but rather the fricking misery that is having to mull through the same handfuls of content because you'll be endlessly rerunning ARR dungeons most of the time or Main Scenario Prae.
>are realizing it's 3 months to the next big update

what will it bring? 1 criterion, 1 hildi quest, 1 tome relic and 1 island update?

You must have a very selective memory then, I've done about 80% of them quite recently since I had FRICKALL to do in the game while having sub days to burn so I though that yeah, doing side quests to get lore and minor stories can be fun to do.
For every "Zombies are people too", "Of errant Epistles", "A new Favourite", "A Leafman and a Hero" and "Left Alive" there are 10 quests that are exactly what I described where you don't even get a small story out of it, just a comment on why the characters can't get of their asses and get shit done on their own.
I just don't understand why they are so afraid of just buffing the yellow quests EXP. Since you can only do them ONCE they should give you at least 3/4ths of a MSQ and/or have some involved story thing or some gameplay thing that they are afraid to use in the MSQ since shitters would get angry at being roadblocked.
As they exist right fricking now they should just all be deleted from the game except for the few that actually give you glam, cards or pets
>gaius treatment
This has bothered me immensely coming into the game late but with a continuous run through of the story. With as important as he was up to that point I was a little annoyed with him not getting voice acted scenes in his side raid series, but whatever, then massively disappointed that he has had nothing to do in the Garlemald arc at all.
Bothered me that Cid has been delegated to side content hell too despite being your bro and important for awhile too, though after hearing his and Nero's random VA change in the ShB post stuff I kinda lost the want to have them back all that much anyways, their new voices didn't really match the characters that well to me
EW 6.0 treatmenf of gaius shouldve been a red flag on how they're doing things nowadays
"i care a lot for garlemald but iam not going with you because people would follow me"
Yes, anon, I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that the one character who has had a job change foreshadowed both in game and in dev talks would happen to get an item which is the symbol for one of the few mage classes not to have a XIV counterpart all while the next expansion is slated to release a new mage.
Pure coincidence.
Mystic Knight would be a melee DPS, not a caster. Caster is a ranged role, which would make no sense when 90% of Mystic Knight's gimmick is enchanting a weapon to beat up beat with in melee.
>Zeromus? Oh yeah that guy was a legend I knew him back in the day...nah I just didn't feel like bringing it up in the past 8 years I've been a character haha
It's bad writing to not foreshadow it, but everyone knows XIV has trash writing with no communication for the most part.

Agreed. Venat is supposed to be a hero. But the way things play out, she's following a script she already knows will work. Heroes are supposed to make hard decisions, they're supposed to take risks. Venat was supposed to be a rebel who gambled everything because she knew in her heart that it was the right thing to do. But then EW comes and it turns out she didn't take a risk at all, she didn't act on her own determination, she just did what you told her she was supposed to do.

Ishikawa is supposed to be good for her character writing. And she did a good job with Hermes. But the Elpis segment in general was a mistake.
There was a gamble anon, she didn't know WoL would actually defeat Endsinger, just that WoL would live long enough to find out.
It wasn't about Endsinger, it was about the Ancients doing their suicide NEET cult shit. Originally the whole issue was about Venat disagreeing with that on principle. She thought it was wrong that the Ancients were going to feed the planet to Zodiark to maintain their paradise, and acted because she believed there was another way, even if she didn't know absolutely it would work, she believed and took a gamble. That's heroic, rebelling against an unjust society because your heart tells you to. What we got in EW was that Venat encountered the Ancients about to commit suicide and went >wait, I already met someone from the future so I know how this is gonna go and I can just avert this suicide shit and I know it will work
It takes agency from her, you know? It takes the weight out of her decision and the burden she was supposed to be carrying. She didn't risk everything to save the world, she just followed a script.

It was still a chance because there is a timeline where she fails, and WoL dies.

Disagree, it’s prime foray material. The easiest way to write side content in existence, an alt timeline that literally doesn’t fricking matter. It’s an easy way to nostalgia bait too since it can take place on eorzea, they would have a lot of options with potential raids and fan service moments

Man, if you guys are unironically subbing to FFXIV for gameplay content you are incredibly moronic.
This game literally takes pride in having zero RPG features to the point they beg you to go play other games despite the cost and time investment.
Only Square Enix is allowed to charge a sub on top of base game plus expansion purchases for a game that doesn't have any kind of general character or job progression.
If you're seriously playing this game and wasting your life away pretending it's an even decent experience you are the problem in this situation.

ZODIARK TRANCE!!!!!! comic, the tl;dr of THAT is most of them were WoWfugees who blitz-ran through the game for kino kino based kino emet-selch and amaurot and then got turbo mad when endwalker came out because venat wasn't revealed to be evil or necessarily in the wrong. for some of them it's lingering resentment for garlemald bowing out of the story during late stormblood and they were rooting for the evil empire

And one of them (you) won't stop trying to make Ganker care about your moronic fricking twitter war and your Emet-Selch roleplay. You're probably the same gay who kept spamming the "Emet has a based take" vocaroo everywhere because you're desperate for internet notoriety. Go back to the official forums and stay there in your 900 post troony asylum.

in content that matters you basically can. it's almost fricking always better bring a dark knight, they have great mitigation and insane amounts of burst. i'm not gonna argue with Ganker or /vg/ gays that don't know anything about this game past fricking dungeon and extreme content where you can ignore half your buttons.
i can't even engage with how stupid you are to think that matters or that you should be popping tbn when you don't need too. the average skill level for drk players have always been the worst fricking morons this game has to offer and that shit never changes.

Like I thought, you actually think only rank busters matter, drk can't use tbn against autos and the other 3 can, its a bad thing, idiot
DRK players are looking to improve their boring soulless fricking gameplay loop, the only satisfaction you have as a DRK is to pop up the shield, that's it
The only reason it was #1 tank is because of better dps, it sucked way more in every single other regard but the one that happens to matter most in high end content. Now it's not the highest dps tank, so there's literally nothing going for it. And the entire time they were way worse for the vast majority of not high end content.
>It sucked way more in every single other regard
Weren't Paladins just eating shit on every tankbuster during Abyssos because of magic damage prior to the rework?
>DRK burst is so high that when they get aligned with buffs they will guaranteed deal more damage than any other job in the game during the same burst window
I have no clue why they feel the need to complain about balance when they are a borderline DPS already, I do wish that MP generation was higher though so that I can be less bored more often
the only thing bad about dark knight is that some of hit's animations feel like absolute fricking shit to press. it has had some of the best fricking mitigation and damage for a long ass time now, anyone that says otherwise i'm assuming are just pretending to be moronic.
I would have more fun if DRK dealt less burst damage but just pumped twice as often. Simply doubling MP generation in some way would accomplish this but it would probably break TBN completely since DRK would never want to use it again since it would be a DPS loss 100% of the time or it would be stupid OP since it would become spamable.
They could potentially fix it by making TBN "free" until it disappears or pops and then just punish bad use of it with a mana deficit/debt that the DRK would have to work its way out of while a pop could refund the mana and give DRK a free oGCD use
First set need to actually move as far forward as they can, and keep going even beyond the point where their tethers become safe.
That or you just accept that one or two people in the second wave will sometimes have to just get into any position where their ground AoE isn't blue and die from an unstretched tether.

No they aren't. DRG is getting all of its jumps turned into GCDs, and AST is getting another band-aid fix that does absolutely nothing to change the core issue with its RNG.
I'm really looking forward to AST v1.5.0.0.4, the only difference is that crown draws Lord every single time.
There is nothing wrong with AST having RNG, it's literally their gimmick and anyone who wants to remove it completely should have their dicks cut off and then stapled to their forehead so that everyone could see just what a (small) dickhead you are
The only thing that makes DRG fun is all its oGCDs
I have a real fear that the job will be barren >Jump is a GCD skill >Spineshatter/Dragonfire reworked or removed >Chaos Thrust/Spring is now a 60 second GCD CD DoT >You just spam a 5 step combo over and over
drg and ast were meant to get a rework in ew but yoshi delayed it so he can cut corners for ew, these two are already done for a year at this point
likely will have the EW mindset heavily forced upon it
DRG will lose its dot, its dmg buff
and will become just a dumbfied long combo melee then you press a jump every 60 and 120 secs
This is so accurate to how jobs are designed right now that it completely kills my interest in seeing what job changes DT will bring even though your obviously just shitposting

Literally seething that there was comic relief in the story.
It's not the existence of comic relief, it's the way they show up to deflate all the tension anytime something happens in the story. You know that. Why do you have to act like a bad faith Black person just to stir shit?
>it's the way they show up to deflate all the tension anytime something happens in the story.
Dumbshit, that's what they're for.
That's what they've always been for.
To release the tension after an intense moment so the momentum can build again.
Comic RELIEF.
>Dumbshit, that's what they're for. >That's what they've always been for.
No, it's not. The Hummingways don't even appear in the FFIV story at all. There's one named Namingway who sits in town if you want to rename your characters. The rest are in a hidden cave on the moon and don't do anything but hum and sell you alarms. >To release the tension after an intense moment so the momentum can build again.
Comic RELIEF isn't supposed to deflate all tension. It's supposed to give you some room to breathe before diving back into the shit. Which also isn't what happens in Endwalker. In Endwalker the purpose they serve is to constantly remind you that you don't need to stress, you don't need to worry, everything is fine and happy fun good times. Which goes completely against the entire purpose of the story. The point of the story is to face despair head on because you know things will be better on the other side. When you instead surround the player with the happy uwu giggle funtimes hugbox that the Ancients surrounded themselves with, you are shitting in the face of the whole fricking point.

No, I want you to stop with the "ummmm, read a book lol xD" bullshit. It doesn't mean jackshit. Books are not the end all be all of fiction media, the vast majority of books suck, and books that go on long enough to be best sellers straight up have worse pacing than XIV does. Last fricking book I read was a critically acclaimed historic novel, and a whole quarter of the book was taken up by some arc where the town the protagonists live in has an outbreak of dissentery. None of the main characters die from it. There are no major developments through it. There are no big twists. Just a whole quarter of the book dedicated to talking about how the townsfolk are shitting themselves to death and the main characters are sad about it. By the end they just decide to go back to their business. Literally a fricking filler arc, in a single entry book with no sequels or anything. Another big novel I read recently had the main character leave on a journey, where he gets a wedding proposal he rejects, where he catches a disease he just passes, where he meets a guy who doesn't do anything, and then he goes back and everyone goes "Oh hey there welcome" and goes right back to business as if he didn't even leave at all. And not to mention the vast majority of books pad the frick out of themselves by describing every little detail of a scene or how the character is thinking about what groceries to make for the day.
So don't fricking bring up "hurr durr muh 15 minutes of moving boxes around Sharlayan" and then go and fricking recommend books, because books are the worst fricking media of all when it comes to pacing, and it makes it fricking clear you're just a pretentious small dick moron trying to sound smarter than everyone else in the thread.

If XIV was a book, these patches would have been the exact same, except each of them would end with a 30 minutes cutscene of Y'shtola studying shards in real time as her thoughts keep drifting to philosophical dilemmas, Zero staring at indian spices as you get a description of which exact taste buds fire up and of how Estinien contemplates the Radiant Host's exact fighting styles and training methods.
Do you know why the pacing in XIV doesn't bother me as much as it bothers you? It's because I've read SO many books. I've read more fricking books than you've ever seen in your whole life, you fricking cretin.

Yes, that's exactly the fricking problem. Thanks for catching up with the conversation little buddy. They show up before and after every event to make sure you don't feel too stressed out. You see nothing wrong with that because, much like the writers, you don't understand the actual message of the story. You're cattle who just slurps up what you're told to enjoy and you never let it cross your mind again. You don't see how it completely conflicts with the primary message of the story. How surrounding yourself with nothing but good feelings and avoiding the dread is exactly what killed the Ancients. If you're telling a story about facing despair head on because you believe that hope will win out and things will be better later, you need to actually let the despair fricking settle in and make the player march through it. As much as you like to meme about MUH WALK you apparently don't understand what it actually meant.
how the frick could ShB secondaries miss it if they did the actual MSQ and raids? I got in around Shadowbringers and I sure as frick didn't pass up the Four Lords raids or that questline. Also I'm with Byakko, why couldn't they find a miqo'te or hroth?

The game was plenty fun when it did its own thing and made its own fun. It's a lot different from just pandering to the twitter crowd. When they wrote a whole time travel story arc in EW just to let people take screenshots with Emet-Selch it became clear that the writing had lost all integrity. But you don't care, you're exactly the crowd they're pandering to. See you next year when you're here jumping out of your seat about the heckin cute taco catte.

>making venat a mommy >the devs
I thought you were talking about the players at first. when does SE themselves ever paint venat as a mommy? And no, calling her mother hydaelyn doesn't count.
Venat archetype is that of a caring mother
if you play in JP she even uses the mommy voice, and she sounds way more endearing than NA version
idk how you don't see this, even if you discount all the moronic fanbase
the entire literal story of Venat was being the mentor to Azem, and as Hydaelyn, guiding WoL to their ultimate goal of saving everything. Flow is pretty much written from her perspective. the story might as well be saying she is the impromptu mother figure of WoL even if not by literal blood or the like.
when people go "mommy" like
There's a very big difference between a motherly character and mommy shit.
idk how YOU don't see this.
though, that's people being fricking nutjobs and weirdos
it unironically is. All the wow refugees that flooded the game 2 years ago are leaving back to wow because dragonflight was bussin fr fr. even our own content creators are turning on xiv and yoship. it's unironically over.
yes, the playerbase, even normies have started to turn against the devs, minwalker have been a trainwreck in terms of content and the story, which was hailed as the best thing since sex became a total horse shit in the patches
thsi is not Ganker being contrarian, this is the normie opinion, watch Ganker like the game in a few months, when the content drought of MORE THAN 10 MONTHS until next xpac finally hits and redditors get cranky while shitposters tell them to "play another game sweetier :)"
It's the moronic WoWfugees and the culture they bring. Most of them genuinely think FFXIV practically did not exist before ShB and that Assmongo and other shitstains will make or break the game.
FFXIV was successful for more than half a decade before any of the streamer homosexuals arrived and it will still be successful long after they have left.

What makes mmo content "hard" is the person in the group with the lowest IQ holding everyone else back until they finally get mechanics down.

unless you're talking about DSR and TOP specifically where the balacing is iffy or outright bugged for months.
ultis are exactly like savage, but with faster and clumped up mechanics
there is no difficulty there that isn't present in savage, the only shit you gotta learn is that instead of waiting 5 secs for a tb bar to fill younow have 1.5 sec, or the busters are consecutive cleaves that require proper timing with cds and shields, EXACTLY like they used to be until SB
the only difficulty in this game is artificial, and there is no way to measure skill solo, you can only measure how good you can repeat the same button inputs over and over for dps, not how good you play and react, in fact, reaction is a joke in this game, as you can pretty much build muscle memory for any fight
you can memorize an ultimate to the point where you can play and watch netflix because the formula is so stale

This, so much of the content feels boring too play solely thanks to job design being so fricking static and shit 90% of the time.

Unironically exploration content like Bozja and Eureka. It isn't as much the difficulty aspect and more the commitment aspect that a lot of "midcore" players can't handle and I don't fricking blame them. Finding a static that doesn't make you go bald from stress and anger is a minor miracle in the westerns communities current state, most people don't want to feel chained to the game in any way regardless so just making a time commitment when there is no guarantee that there will be progress is also a massive turnoff for a lot of people.

>WOTLK-Stormblood(regarded as when the game was the best + had the most content)
by normalgays yeah. stormblood is were a lot of the cancerous ongoing designs started or were firmly established
Why would I play a game with 600 hours of a terrible story delivered to me with terrible presentation with no RPG elements so I can hit endgame and then do mediocre combat with inherent lag and bugged animation locks
(Also I'm synced down most of the time which completely breaks my class because most of them come online at level 70+ despite the developers knowing I won't be spending most my time at max).
Literally what does FFXIV offer anyone, especially new players
in the grand scheme of things, EW isn't that bad, but Island Sanctuary was frick awful with no Bozja/Eureka to compensate since this WAS the equivalent, and the story went full moron but we've had moronic story with Stormblood and Realm Reborn as is. so now that shit is wrapping up and people are realizing it's 3 months to the next big update and then the better part of 6 months or more after that for DT, yeah folks are just gonna ruminate on how shit this whole expansion came together.

NTA but if you think drks only benefit was it's damage and not the fact it also has some of the best (if not the best) self mitigation in savage/ultimates while also still having some of the most insane levels of 2minute burst damage that compares to fricking melee jobs, then i'm inclined to believe you barely even play savage yourself.
I don't main Tanks
All I remember is my static tanks talking about how DRK was a clusterfrick to play in an annoying way with the burst window
All anyone would talk about is its damage
You can make the other tanks work fine with mit probably, I guess Dark Mind is a pretty crazy mit for busters but the other tanks have passive mitigation with Bulwark/Camo and Thrill is "ok" I guess
I know TBN is pretty good

the devs managed to mess up even this, at this point i feel like ishikawa hates Oda and is doing all she can to destroy his lore and legacy
Right in the sense that they were beings created by humans and empowered by faith.
Wrong in the sense that they weren't purposefully engineered to be evil b***hes draining the land of aether and brainwashing an ever-increasing horde of thralls.
They do tell you there's a reason the prayers don't go to them, and without that reason they'd behave like any other primal. Hell they're still influenced by mortal myths and legends regardless.
You know I generally scoff at "don't do/say this because it might scare the populace" plotlines, but I think "don't tell people their gods are dead" is actually a fairly understandable one.
>they are primals >they wanna die >die >people still worship them >people are praying to non entitities now thus forming new primals >wol and group think everything will be fine
>now thus forming new primals
The final boss arena is a machine to prevent this. Not defending the story, I hate what they did with the Twelve. I would be more okay with it if they all got to become mortals.
the twelve already said they made a mechanism that any prayer towards them will be channeled unto the planet instead.
sure it is handwaving but they explained it
You were supposed to be quiet about Louisoix so nobody started a cult around him and summoned him back as a primal. With the Twelve it's pretty much the opposite. You need the faith to keep going so their mission to channel prayer to the planet doesn't get fricked up.
This happened in ARR too with everyone suddenly calling the planet Hydaelyn. In 1.0 lore most people weren't even aware of the world's name at all. That was spread by the Scions in the 5 year time skip, along with knowledge of the Mothercrystal.
It was called Hydaelyn but the average person didn't know or give a shit. Remember in 1.0 and ARR the setting was really different. Most people were starving dirt farmers. Ask them where they live and they'd say Thanalan.
I think the Twelve jumped the gun with their mass suicide since the WoL already had to prevent two potential apocalypses immediately after dealing with the Final Days. Dude's not gonna be around forever y'know.
The Twelve weren't stopping Calamities anyway, they were just holding the world together because the aether became so thin post-sundering and then they had to rebalance shit after each rejoining.

I knew his opinion was shit when he said he was a story skipper and that he thinks HW had better class design.
it is true
you had to rely on infographs made by other people to know how to play a job
there were no video guides for any jobs
nobody knew how some mechanics worked
nobody even knows if a4s was cleared in less than a month

If this game's lore is so great, why don't we know what other cultures call the planet?
What is the planet called in Hingan or the ancestral Xaela language?
Because everyone in the world speaks the same language, if anything there's just different dialects.
Oh and dragons speak their own tongue i suppose, but that's because they are illegal aliens.
>Because everyone in the world speaks the same language, if anything there's just different dialects.
Hyuran Common is a trade language everywhere but those cultures do have their own native languages.
When people say a video game's lore is great, what they actually mean is "for a video game this lore isn't dull and/or moronic". It's better than, say, capeshit or Harry Potter, but it's not exactly Tolkien either.
>It's better than, say, two of the biggest pillars of pop culture with fanatically devoted fanbases, but it's not exactly the absolute biggest pillar of pop culture with the most devoted fanbase.
You know that we were strictly talking about the lore, right? HP can't even explain how its most basic premise functions, not even in some entertaining roundabout kind of way.
We learned what they call dynamis, we learned what their own local deities are like, we learned what they eat and drink, we even learned what their common jobs are. The only thing we didn't learn is whether they have a different name for the planet, but since Hydaelyn seems to be a universal goddess everyone acknowledges separate of their own local deities like the Twelve, kami or manusya, then it stands to reason they also call it Hydaelyn.
>but since Hydaelyn seems to be a universal goddess everyone acknowledges separate of their own local deities like the Twelve
But this doesn't make sense because in 1.0 nobody knew of any Mothercrystal or thought Hydaelyn was a deity. Hydaelyn was just the name of the planet according to the Sharlayans. The Mothercrystal wasn't a known concept until the Circle of Knowing went and spread the information between 1.0 and ARR.
One thing that I will never accept is how meracydia and the new world just stood there doing nothing during the final days, the allegedly world ending threat of EW
much like the joke irl where third worlders are like 10 years behind in terms of culture, tech and news, I bet my ass that they won't even notice the whole world ending bullshit lost in fedex somewhere
they will never mention anything like final days in their end
Why would they react to a bunch of monsters out of nowhere by rushing to a foreign continent to talk about it?
you are dumb have a nice day
The whole point of the Final Days impacting just a tiny area (relatively speaking) was that modern, sundered Man weren't emotional manlets like the Ancients were. Still more than enough despair going around to cause problems in Thavnair, but they pulled through; once people realized what the frick was happening and what the cause was for turning, barely anybody turns in the role quests or the MSQ thereafter.
Meanwhile Amaurot sat around with its dick in its hand until the Final Days were knocking on their own door.
thats the issue, so the writers are trying to convince us that the universe ending cataclism that destroyed several worlds before just happens in a tiny island and in a fricking ice cube where there will be no casualities other than the small pops living there, and them role quests further tone down the threat by making it that blasphemies can walk around without people shitting themselves so much as to become blasphemies themselves and can still interact in a semi social way with aether based lifeforms, and be redeemed back into the lifestream once dead
it just reeks of zero proof reading between a dozen writers

You know I hadn't considered it until now, but it actually takes some ridiculous bullshit to get the Final Days rolling in modern day Etheirys. >A merchant/philanthroper who's got so utterly ruined people are starving on his doorstep. >A fricking clone of dead people melted together after a traumatic enslavement and death.
Other normal people didn't start turning until they were like, getting fricking goomba stomped or munched.
I think they did a genuinely good job of showing how fricking bad off you really need to be for "despair" to settle in. Severe trauma or severe stress/guilt/sadness, one of the two.
give us 3.x drk back
You want 3.x DRK back? The DRK that lost to PLD in utility and lost to WAR in damage? Fricking moron. "b-b-b-but muh old rotations and mechs", your shit was awful in 3.x and that's why nobody played DRK
With that thing about Zero giving Ryne the Memoria Crystal with Zeromus, it really seems to be like they are setting up First/Thirteen restoration. Would surprise me if they do both at the same time
Still on team "they're gonna turn it into a foray".
It would make sense, since they clearly intend to involve Gaïa in the whole thing, but they're too cowardly to ever make a raid series mandatory for the MSQ, so anything involving her can only be side content.
All the people who cried about number of quests between ARR and HW are to blame. Coils should be mandatory.
Coils, Triad, and Eden should all be mandatory really.
people where hyped when they revelead unulkalhai real identity in hw
people got hyped when they did voidquests in shb, look where that brought us
at this point the devs should not be trusted with following up stuff because they are so motivated to let everything 1.0 behind that they will either forget or completely ignore.
dude, the mistery of the elementals still got no explanation to this day, it was just quietly sidelined and shove in a few lines here and there "they're asleep, they're related to gods, elementals are arcane entities with no soul"
which explains zero ass shit regarding their behavior in 1.0, apparent time travel powers, and dimension hoping
New writers are trash and ruined every bit of lore set up prior to SHB.
Elementals are just Ancient creations that grew powerful over time. You can see them in Elpis.
yes and no, elpis talks about elementals as a whole, all aspected sprites, like the many you see in low lvl zones, these are not the gridania elementals
gridania elementals are like the eureka fairies
and while the elpis explanation do apply to them
like ive said
"elementals are arcane entities with no soul"
they never explained what they are, and why they're like that
no other elemental in elpis or elsewhere have the power to bend reality, teleport people to nowhere and basically start a large disaster if they want too
they didn't even explain the correlation between the gridanian mask and the elementals, in lore the masks are used to soothe the elementals, and while you can clearly make a correlation with the ancient masks, this is a connotation given by the players, the writers aren't even aware of this and likely ended up being just a coincidence as they never address it, fully, or even hint to it.
in the end, the only "explanation" we end up getting is the one the community came up with because the writers clearly don't give a shit about old lore
want another mistery that they will never touch ever again? the depths of gelmorra being light aspected so much that it resembles vaulthry sin eater palace, there is clearly a connection there, but in shb they didnt even get near gelmorra and decided to use writer's pet char and assets with the CT and simp cat
we have just so much that they choose to ignore out of laziness
a void arc in patches and no mention of the void ark technology or mhachi knowledge being used to handle it?
no cylva and unulkalhai? even when they were the void characters up til zero showed up
making gaia, who can literally shard travel and open portals for voidsent be relegated to an additional dialogue in MSQ when you're in theory dealing with a catastrophe tier event under a ticking clock?
"world may end? ok call me next time wol, wink wink, imma eat cookies"
FRICK YOU ISHIKAWA AND FRICK WHOEVER JUNIOR WRITER WHO DID 6.X
I can't believe the fricking audacity of that b***h to tell us to make up with these sons of b***hes elementals.
these frickers literally groom and abduct kids in 1.0
then in 2.0 we pretend thsi never happen and they just "bless" random kids with padjal magic
the image is a bad bait for this anon, wow always had tons of comic reliefs, the people who mald at rabbits and hildi are moronic americans, the type which have double chins and are always drooling kfc chicken grease while riding their fat people karts
based, glad to see people actually pay attention to lore.
Kids that were kidnapped by the elementals are still missing too, while Nophicia said "they didn't do nothin'."
Bitch, what?
>the depths of gelmorra being light aspected so much that it resembles vaulthry sin eater palace, there is clearly a connection there
I thought that was because gelmorra was the burial ground for amdapor, which was just as far into light as mhach was void.
Wasn't Gelmorra way older than Amdapor?
Yeah, that's why they could discover/use it.
Like their version of allagan shit.
I could be wrong though. It's been a long time since I was into PotD.
No, Amdapor was during the War of the Magi in the Fifth Astral Era. Gelmorra is an early Sixth Astral Era civilization created when people came back down from the mountains after the flood. Gelmorra directly led into Gridania.
DRK was literally the only reason why I started playing this garbage game. Too bad the gameplay is just slowed down wow. I would play wow again but wow's fashion is probably the worst in the mmo history
The only thing that made DRK remotely good was its much higher damage compared to the other tanks
Now that it doesn't do good damage, it's worthless
It needs better self sustain
you don't even do savages/ultimates so why does it matter
I do savage
But I'm not big into ultimate
NTA but if you think drks only benefit was it's damage and not the fact it also has some of the best (if not the best) self mitigation in savage/ultimates while also still having some of the most insane levels of 2minute burst damage that compares to fricking melee jobs, then i'm inclined to believe you barely even play savage yourself.
well big grin is right and can confirm, it really depends on the tier/fight, this savage specifically every other tank is better now, in ults yeah drk has its uses (not the 70 ults, bringing drk to those is griefing)
if savage continues to be full uptime then every other job is better
sure you get the 2 mins but ONLY if you have the raid buffs to elevate it to be actually good
if you bring in a blm sam mch sage and whm then drk is garbage
>it really depends on the tier/fight, this savage specifically every other tank is better now
this wasn't true in endwalker, nor was it true in shadowbringers either. i don't get why you homosexual drk try to undermine how powerful this job actually is, it's like you guys have some sort of grudge from when warrior completely dominated heavensward, drk will most likely continue to be the premier tank in fricking dawntrail too and you guys will continue to pretend it's somehow the worst tank in the game.
>All I remember is my static tanks talking about how DRK was a clusterfrick to play in an annoying way with the burst window
all you fricking do is dump your 500000 ogcd's into 2 minutes, are you static members moronic or something. how is this different from any other job in the game.
well it is true in endwalker now, since 6.4, i mean it had better damage than pld but now pld can pull better damage if no raid buffs
also why do you have such a hateboner for drk? like you do understand that everyone has to mit the same way right? so what does it matter if you have the best mitigation (which isn't true for most current savage fights) when everyone either kitchen sinks, 28%s or invulns everything?
i guess heart of corundum literally being pocket excog, bloodwhetting being the best self-heal in the game and whatever the frick pld has is as good as oblation and tbn... OH WAIT IT ISN'T which leads me to my next point
i don't think tbn is as good as people think it is, in savage is very dependant on situations (aside from tbs and aoes sure i'm talking more that it's a good run-saver if you manage to protect someone with it which in most current savage cases it really doesn't happen because lmao bodychecks) while in ults it's better due to auto-attacks in most of them or constant damage going out
That's why I said the burst window is annoying not hard
They were b***hing about hitting CDs and defensive CDs or whatever else while dumping in 2 minutes
lol comedy
I think the longest was 3.1, I think I unsubbed for half a year or more because of the state of the game
I took a decent break in ShB too
>haha, btw you should know about unuk and cylva
>we were there on the first 2 days ago but I guess I forgot, haha
>2 days ago
I think it was straight up just a few hours ago.
I already consider Gaia just showing up in the MSQ to be a huge victory. Maybe they'll stop with the "uhhh sidecontent character, gomen"shit by next expac.
I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually make Eden mandatory like they did with Crystal Tower.
Well if you did not finsih eden she did not show up.
This, I didn't finish Eden and the crackprostitute never once stained my screen.
>"There are other natives of the Thirteenth working toward our same goal?"
>"Damn that's crazy lol tell them I said hi or something I guess lol anyway later"
What did you want?
For Unu and Cylv to go back to the thirteenth where they'd immediately turn into voidsent since they don't have physical bodies?
If only they had a friend with mastery over darkness just like Ryne has over light..........
And what did you want her to do?
She doesn't know how to use any of her ascian shit so it's not like she could open a rift to the thirteenth.
>She doesn't know how to use any of her ascian shit
Mitron was forcibly opening her memories of previous lives.
Pity all the memories he opened was just taking his dick and not her duties as an ascian.
i was planning to rush through a Sage and a Red Mage on the role quest shit, but realizing it's little more than a pointless side mention that may as well not exist made me pull the trigger and go finish shit instead
side quests have been one of the greatest abortions in this game
shb void quests are cool, but they ultimately will lead nowhere
you even see unulkalhai learning how to open void portals and realizing the kid from the mage role quests may be his 1st shard
you have cylva invinting you elsewhere and showing you that she was the shadowlord and telling how gaia and mitron send her to the first promising that the 1st calamity would fix the 13th, and in consequence showing how gaia and mitron og plan was actually unfrick the 13th and they didn't expect ardbert to be competent enough to destroy them
then the quest ends with a promise of future iterations but you know, this is xiv, so frick these guys, lets make a brand new writer's pet and make this all about her instead
essentially everyone is getting the gaius treatment, give em a side quest and let em rot where people won't remember
>mfw we are at the exact point of the timeline where FFXIV has gone to shit and turned into WoW 2.0
yes, but instead of sylvanas we have estinien and graha
iam even willing to bet that somewhere down the line they will have to "reforge" a hydaelyn or zodiark because the lifestream is dying or something, then a new char will pop out of nowhere and become the thing, like how wow did with that troony becoming the new lich king in sh
don't forget the dozens of random sidequests they add every expansion that might as well not exist because the xp you get is less than fricking fates
I don't understand why sidequest and fates give such shit XP, the most optimal way to level up is POTD, Bozja and dungeons, I'm fricking shit of it, at least sidequest would let me experience lore, run around the world ALL while advancing levels in my other jobs
it's like they like to syphon fun from the game, why not try to design something about FUN value instead of time wasting? the more fun something is the more people will play it, thus making you more money in the end
You can only do sidequests once too. What's the point of them giving such shit EXP?
I honestly think the leveling experience in FF14 is one of the worst. Not the worst, I don't have enough experience in MMOs to really say that hard, I know some shit out there gets super moronic and especially on Korean games. But 14's leveling is all based around "take this job through an expansion and you'll be leveled and probably come out the other end ready for the next expansion", and then every other job is stuck spamming roulettes and Bozja/Deeps excessively to an absurd degree. It's not about the speed, an efficient player can speed that along in no time, but rather the fricking misery that is having to mull through the same handfuls of content because you'll be endlessly rerunning ARR dungeons most of the time or Main Scenario Prae.
6.55, not 6.1 you dumbass. the .55 patches are always a full patch release in their own right.
I always thought it was the worst, but morons keep telling me "no bro! it's fine! it should take time!! you need to learn the class"
I realized, after doing my 4502342034020th praetorium run, that I'm wasting my time, nowadays I only main one job and unsub when content runs out
it's especially bad with each new moogle tomestone event because praetorium is one of if not the best earners for that shit, so you're encouraged to spend the better part of an hour over and over and over and over and over watching Nero and Gaius never shut the everliving frick up, most of the time not even having new players anymore, just to get what you want from the event
They should have remade Prae into a solo dungeon/instance, and have Ultima be a trial, same with the other dungeon with the moronic "shoot at the ship with this janky ass gimmick of reloading"
I do all of them anyway because they hold some neat lore
Only half of them have any lore at all in them, the other are all just some random fricking schmuck asking you to do a fetch quest while he tells you a sob story about why he can't do it on his own.
nta but all of them have varying degrees of lore. Some are just simple fun facts.
You must have a very selective memory then, I've done about 80% of them quite recently since I had FRICKALL to do in the game while having sub days to burn so I though that yeah, doing side quests to get lore and minor stories can be fun to do.
For every "Zombies are people too", "Of errant Epistles", "A new Favourite", "A Leafman and a Hero" and "Left Alive" there are 10 quests that are exactly what I described where you don't even get a small story out of it, just a comment on why the characters can't get of their asses and get shit done on their own.
I just don't understand why they are so afraid of just buffing the yellow quests EXP. Since you can only do them ONCE they should give you at least 3/4ths of a MSQ and/or have some involved story thing or some gameplay thing that they are afraid to use in the MSQ since shitters would get angry at being roadblocked.
As they exist right fricking now they should just all be deleted from the game except for the few that actually give you glam, cards or pets
>gaius treatment
This has bothered me immensely coming into the game late but with a continuous run through of the story. With as important as he was up to that point I was a little annoyed with him not getting voice acted scenes in his side raid series, but whatever, then massively disappointed that he has had nothing to do in the Garlemald arc at all.
Bothered me that Cid has been delegated to side content hell too despite being your bro and important for awhile too, though after hearing his and Nero's random VA change in the ShB post stuff I kinda lost the want to have them back all that much anyways, their new voices didn't really match the characters that well to me
EW 6.0 treatmenf of gaius shouldve been a red flag on how they're doing things nowadays
"i care a lot for garlemald but iam not going with you because people would follow me"
1:1 the same they did with cylva and unul

>the Indian royal palace is called Megadoodoo
morons actually believe Green Mage is a thing
Yes, anon, I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that the one character who has had a job change foreshadowed both in game and in dev talks would happen to get an item which is the symbol for one of the few mage classes not to have a XIV counterpart all while the next expansion is slated to release a new mage.
Pure coincidence.
>greengays this delusional
next class is 100% Chemist
It's gonna be Mystic Knight you fricking morons.
Mystic Knight would be a melee DPS, not a caster. Caster is a ranged role, which would make no sense when 90% of Mystic Knight's gimmick is enchanting a weapon to beat up beat with in melee.

>Zeromus? Oh yeah that guy was a legend I knew him back in the day...nah I just didn't feel like bringing it up in the past 8 years I've been a character haha
Why would he even bring it up ?
It's bad writing to not foreshadow it, but everyone knows XIV has trash writing with no communication for the most part.
Why though?
It's just some ancient famous guy.
It'd be like wondering why Hien didn't talk about the tales of Tenzen to forshadow the four lords.
Zeromus didn't have anything to do with anything about the warring triad.

The first and last time zodiark was mentioned before shb was at the end of arr, lolmeow
Zodiark was mentioned in the Antitower.
Must have been important since I don't remember
At the end of Antitower Hydaelyn gives you a whole (incorrect) history lesson about how she and Zodiark were once a single being until the darkness tried to take over so she cast it away where it became the moon.
>tfw the only reason she told you that crock of shit is because you repeated it back to her in Elpis, so she had to say it back to you to preserve the timeline
Stable time loops are moronic.
I really enjoyed Endwalker, the subject matter is actually quite interesting compared to other xpacs imo, but I fricking hate the time loop shit. It hurts Venat/Hydaelyn. She's supposed to be your God figure, instead she did what you told her to do in a way. It was trash.
and morons cry that Zero is the "MC" of 6.X. I'm glad she. WoL is too important. It's ridiculous how hard this game sucks your dick.
>and morons cry that Zero is the "MC" of 6.X. I'm glad she. WoL is too important. It's ridiculous how hard this game sucks your dick.
it would be fine if Zero was an interesting character, but she's a walking cliche and her arc is fricking shit man, everyone sucking WoL's dick would be better than this and at least your character has earned this right, he saved the fricking world, he should be getting blowjobs from every scion while being french kissed by the alliance leaders
>he saved the fricking world
homie saved the world multiple times, saved ANOTHER world, and punched the concept of despair in the breasts. A bit of dick sucking is warranted.
Nah, you just have self esteem problems.
in videogames enemies reacting to how strong you are just makes it cooler, Ace combat is an expert on doing this
>I-I prefer to be the nameless soldier
of course you do, just let us main character chads lead the charge
>It hurts Venat/Hydaelyn. She's supposed to be your God figure, instead she did what you told her to do in a way.
Agreed. Venat is supposed to be a hero. But the way things play out, she's following a script she already knows will work. Heroes are supposed to make hard decisions, they're supposed to take risks. Venat was supposed to be a rebel who gambled everything because she knew in her heart that it was the right thing to do. But then EW comes and it turns out she didn't take a risk at all, she didn't act on her own determination, she just did what you told her she was supposed to do.
Ishikawa is a shit writer. She copy pasted CoP for Shadobringers.
Ishikawa is supposed to be good for her character writing. And she did a good job with Hermes. But the Elpis segment in general was a mistake.
It wasn't about Endsinger, it was about the Ancients doing their suicide NEET cult shit. Originally the whole issue was about Venat disagreeing with that on principle. She thought it was wrong that the Ancients were going to feed the planet to Zodiark to maintain their paradise, and acted because she believed there was another way, even if she didn't know absolutely it would work, she believed and took a gamble. That's heroic, rebelling against an unjust society because your heart tells you to. What we got in EW was that Venat encountered the Ancients about to commit suicide and went
>wait, I already met someone from the future so I know how this is gonna go and I can just avert this suicide shit and I know it will work
It takes agency from her, you know? It takes the weight out of her decision and the burden she was supposed to be carrying. She didn't risk everything to save the world, she just followed a script.
>It takes agency from her, you know? It takes the weight out of her decision and the burden she was supposed to be carrying. She didn't risk everything to save the world, she just followed a script.
Yes and no.
It was still a chance because there is a timeline where she fails, and WoL dies.
I don't know if we'll ever get to addressing that, but it would definitely be a gamble on her end that she doesn't end up in the black rose timeline.
they are never going to address prime timeline, where ascians are still alive, middy is awaken, wol is dead, endsinger is alive, 8th calamity is a thing etc
the devs mindset was: we did a side story, case closed.
And that's a good thing.
They're not going to address it because they hadn't invented Endsinger when it occurred during SHB writing lmao. Complete hack writers.
>they are never going to address prime timeline, where ascians are still alive, middy is awaken, wol is dead, endsinger is alive, 8th calamity is a thing etc
Disagree, it’s prime foray material. The easiest way to write side content in existence, an alt timeline that literally doesn’t fricking matter. It’s an easy way to nostalgia bait too since it can take place on eorzea, they would have a lot of options with potential raids and fan service moments
YES, it is, and thats why they won't
because they can't, they are hacks, they can't explain this without breaking more lore
and yoshi mandate to ignore all previous lore is another blocker.
we could easily have made the void EW eureka, but it became a nothing burger MSQ that doesnt do nothing but stall and waste time until 7.0
But you can easily handwave original timeline away with literally any bullshit you want
There was a gamble anon, she didn't know WoL would actually defeat Endsinger, just that WoL would live long enough to find out.
Wait, if you got it from her, and she got it from you, where did the fake story come from in the first place? Neither the WoL nor Venat invented it, since they both had to be told about it by the other.
causality blip, self-perpetuating paradox; same logic as *touches scar* being her own distant ancestor
This homies lips are ZESTY
>he doesn't know bog
Yes yes, I know about "dump eet"

the last time we've had such shameless filler was back in arr when we forced to do all the *optional* trials and dungeons anyone that actually play the game would have already done, what a waste of my day
Voidvessel Axe might be my new favorite axe in the game. It's so good.
10 zeromus clears
Haven't seen the mount yet
Should I give up bros
Just collect the 100 totems and wait it out.
only 10 clears? that's nothing dude. people unironically get enough totems without seeing the mount
Mounts are a 2% droprate for on-patch extremes. You will likely only see it once or twice at most in the process of getting 100 totems.
But back when I did Golbez I saw it twice in 8 clears and the second time I got it
Then you exhausted all your luck for this expansion.
I'm at 40 totems and I've seen it once
Looks like a 99 totem mount this time
Aether Friendo! I'm working on fishing stuff, how are you?
Idk
Probably going to PVP or do some more Zeromus or other Ex Trials

>DRK bros when the frick is it our turn for buffs or reworks?
I'm genuinely fricking tired of how trash DRK feels to play, Stormblood fricking ruined tanks the same way Shadowbringers ruined Healers. GNB and DRK need major reworks, WAR is unga and can stay unga and Paladin actually feels decent to play now.
>gnb needs a rework
what
>pld actually feels decent to play now
fricking what
I never got around to Endsinger Ex even though I kept up with every other Ex Trial
What am I in for?
PLD is better now, GNB is fine-ish and should only get minimal changes if at all
WAR is fine as the unga bunga moron job
DRK should do something different and interesting, it needs a change
Give it scourge back
Silence fat ass
>SB ruined tanks
DA spam was peak, plus PLD and WAR were completely fine. Only DRKsissies whined constantly despite being the only tank in both WF ults.
>Stormblood fricking ruined tanks
What the frick are you talking about. ShB was the one that outright removed combos, enmity management and stances.
I miss deliverance animation and sound.
I miss scourge animation and sound.
I'm still seething at the amount of moron Warriors I had to heal in HW.

DELIVERANCE ALWAYS ON
NO DEFENSIVES USED WHATSO EVER.
Frick you. Adjust c**t.
I just hope they keep up with the 2 totem drops, or at least just lower the cost of shit.
yeah, spamming extremes gets pretty boring. Especially difficult ones. Luck Zeromus is easy.
>KEEP CASUALIZING THE GAME I DONT WANT TO PLAY XIV PLEASE DONT MAKE ME HAVE TO TRY
just unsub? The consequences of Shadowbringers have been an absolute disaster for XIV.
huh..? I play the game. The ex is already on farm status bro. I guess running it 99999 times instead of 50 times is somehow more valuable or skillful?
Yes moron let's just give everyone the mount on their first clear, who cares about content longevity. Shadowbab secondaries only want instant gratification and thats why XIV sucks now.
Only takes 8 runs for savage.
We're discussing EX, but you know what why not just give everyone a full BIS coffee and mount for clearing savage. They earned it after all, it's only fair, SHB players are who the game caters to so they won't mind.
>why not just give everyone a full BIS coffee and mount for clearing savage
Sure, why not? I don't do the shit and I don't care. Raidgays waste their life for gear that is outdated the next patch. All you get is the same shit Normalgays get, but you can dye it.
>sure bro just kill the content longevity who cares you pay every month to do nothing for 28 days
>dude just play the other heckin wholesome chonker other games like god savior yoshi P said so you're not supposed to play XIV just play other games lol ignore how the game has been ruined

By dogs, preferably
>You don't understand I need to run the same EX with morons 50 times to get a recoloured ugly cat, I won't feel alive if I get it sooner, I need this to fill my void
Play other games
Man, if you guys are unironically subbing to FFXIV for gameplay content you are incredibly moronic.
This game literally takes pride in having zero RPG features to the point they beg you to go play other games despite the cost and time investment.
Only Square Enix is allowed to charge a sub on top of base game plus expansion purchases for a game that doesn't have any kind of general character or job progression.
If you're seriously playing this game and wasting your life away pretending it's an even decent experience you are the problem in this situation.
>reddit spacing tourist
only people subbed rn are smelly dudes in their 40s wearing wigs and jerking off to other men online while pretending to be a teen girl
Whats a good RPG I should go play then? I wanna know.
If you wanna start small and familiar, any of the Final Fantasy games that from 1-11 since every single one of them are more "RPG" than XIV has been in a long ass time
>1-11
1-12, 12 is probably also a better MMO experience right now, even though it doesn't have any multiplayer aspects at all it still manages to take the genres general gameplay and execution it slightly better
Telling someone to play XI who has like 4000 days played and 15 relics lmao.
It really depends on what type of games you like
Found the gacha player

Fake fisher
Sorry I don't find casting bait in a hole 500 times hoping for a 0.1% bite, failing, and then having to wait 20 days for the next window engaging gameplay.
Maybe they should've ripped off games with better fishing with real mechanics instead.

I haven't been in an xiGanker thread in like nine months when did we get avatargayging lalafel
9 months ago
basically the gays that got kicked out of vg made a nest here, and they are hard to get rid of.
Like 2 months ago, they got kicked out and ignored in /xivg/ so they came here to get ignored more.
Just filter the file md5, between wojaks and lalafell posters mine is almost 300 lines long.
If someone gets mad at the fact that you filter their shitpost, then you're doing something right.
people get angrier at tards that beg for janny intervention and refuse to filter than they do the actual avatargays tbh
idk who is more pathetic in here, people who samegay to shitpost or homosexuals who cry for jannies and or filter shit
homie youre in Ganker and youre offended? go back to plebbit you cretin
See what I mean? (
)
It's working
/xivg/ regulars that failed at becoming ebins so they try here where no one does it in hopes that the lack of competition will make them recognizable.
why do you keep replying to that post?
He keeps hoping for that /xivg/ race war that still hasn't happened.
>More than one people hating on me? That's impossible!
may as well just fess up after a post like this lol
???
any hater is barry/trancer/doomsissy/discord cabal trying to shitpost on the game and brigading with a discord of xiv haters because thats more reasonable than people finding the game bad fr
didnt you get the memo?
they do
to educate the thread i will share this
https://arch.b4k.co/vg/thread/418958841/#q418959041
qrd?
Dathric is obsessed with an ongoing twitter/discord shitflinging contest with a small group of ESL trannies and he is insistent on shifting all conversation toward "muh trancers" so he can post a link to his Emet-Selch roleplay.
qrd is that there is a group of people that raid threads across Ganker and /vg/ for this game
some spam the tired arguments for zod trancing and others spam doomposts
one of them is obsessed with player counts and charts they don't understand
And one of them (you) won't stop trying to make Ganker care about your moronic fricking twitter war and your Emet-Selch roleplay. You're probably the same gay who kept spamming the "Emet has a based take" vocaroo everywhere because you're desperate for internet notoriety. Go back to the official forums and stay there in your 900 post troony asylum.
>Emet-Selch roleplay
qrd?
Right here
one guy who avatargayged with emet-selch images on the short-lived /mmorpg/ threads in /vg/ posted a bunch of receipts on there being a centralized pro-zodiark, ancient/amaurot, and garlemald discord server made up of random foreigners, one /vg/ thread ebin, and the french(?) fellow that made the original DON'T ACT LIKE YOU'RE MY FRIEND! ZODIARK TRANCE!!!!!! comic, the tl;dr of THAT is most of them were WoWfugees who blitz-ran through the game for kino kino based kino emet-selch and amaurot and then got turbo mad when endwalker came out because venat wasn't revealed to be evil or necessarily in the wrong. for some of them it's lingering resentment for garlemald bowing out of the story during late stormblood and they were rooting for the evil empire
another mention is that they usually break down when they are outed
the schizo post you see here
is an example of how deranged and obsessed they are with shitposting
I'm shitting on the lalas though, not on the game.
There's actually only two people in any given XIGanker thread.
Oh is this that guy that got outed for samegayging after all his posts got deleted?
Most likely.
No, you're the one that just gave me 5 responses.
See, I can do it too.

Black person if u get my 3rd alts house on dynamis ill be upset cause its a 50/50.
why do drk players ask for buffs like they werent the #1 tank for the entire fricking expansion
they were "#1 tank" because they did 3% more dps than the other two tanks. not because of their absolutely trash mitigation.
>trash mitigation
>when tbn exists
let me guess you think dungeon mitigation matters and warrior healing is somehow better than shielding.
You can't TBN every fricking move moron.
>You can't TBN every fricking move moron.
in content that matters you basically can. it's almost fricking always better bring a dark knight, they have great mitigation and insane amounts of burst. i'm not gonna argue with Ganker or /vg/ gays that don't know anything about this game past fricking dungeon and extreme content where you can ignore half your buttons.
Lel, with gear tbn doesn't even work anymore against autos, trash skill
>Lel, with gear tbn doesn't even work anymore against autos
Yeah? What are you going to say now?
i can't even engage with how stupid you are to think that matters or that you should be popping tbn when you don't need too. the average skill level for drk players have always been the worst fricking morons this game has to offer and that shit never changes.
Like I thought, you actually think only rank busters matter, drk can't use tbn against autos and the other 3 can, its a bad thing, idiot
lol
I accept your concession
>trash mit
>DRK
this homie does not have DM or Oblation bound.
you'd be surprised at how low the skill level is in these threads
DRK has has the best mit for 2 full expansions, they also were top 2 in dps from the start of SHB till the latest patch.
DRK players are looking to improve their boring soulless fricking gameplay loop, the only satisfaction you have as a DRK is to pop up the shield, that's it
The only reason it was #1 tank is because of better dps, it sucked way more in every single other regard but the one that happens to matter most in high end content. Now it's not the highest dps tank, so there's literally nothing going for it. And the entire time they were way worse for the vast majority of not high end content.
>It sucked way more in every single other regard
Weren't Paladins just eating shit on every tankbuster during Abyssos because of magic damage prior to the rework?
PLDs have been living that nightmare since Perpetual Ray back in 3.2
>DRK burst is so high that when they get aligned with buffs they will guaranteed deal more damage than any other job in the game during the same burst window
I have no clue why they feel the need to complain about balance when they are a borderline DPS already, I do wish that MP generation was higher though so that I can be less bored more often
the only thing bad about dark knight is that some of hit's animations feel like absolute fricking shit to press. it has had some of the best fricking mitigation and damage for a long ass time now, anyone that says otherwise i'm assuming are just pretending to be moronic.
you could say that about every job in the game, especially the sounds, the modded animations are usually so much better
I would have more fun if DRK dealt less burst damage but just pumped twice as often. Simply doubling MP generation in some way would accomplish this but it would probably break TBN completely since DRK would never want to use it again since it would be a DPS loss 100% of the time or it would be stupid OP since it would become spamable.
They could potentially fix it by making TBN "free" until it disappears or pops and then just punish bad use of it with a mana deficit/debt that the DRK would have to work its way out of while a pop could refund the mana and give DRK a free oGCD use
>Femroe
I skip cutscenes
High Concept was one of the best mechanics in the game.
>Hello World, but worse
No.
Is there some trick for Zeromus EX or are the meteors just bullshit?
probably your first set of players not going far enough. they're going just far enough with the tether and not making space for the 2nd wave.
First set need to actually move as far forward as they can, and keep going even beyond the point where their tethers become safe.
That or you just accept that one or two people in the second wave will sometimes have to just get into any position where their ground AoE isn't blue and die from an unstretched tether.
>where their ground AoE isn't blue
where their ground AoE isn't red, rather
Remember the rule, if the line is blue, good on you, if the line is red, go back and stay dead!
I hope they get rid of positionals in DT.
Paladin might be fricked, but Confiteor looks so cool I don't care.

DRG and AST are both getting reworks.
No they aren't. DRG is getting all of its jumps turned into GCDs, and AST is getting another band-aid fix that does absolutely nothing to change the core issue with its RNG.
I'm really looking forward to AST v1.5.0.0.4, the only difference is that crown draws Lord every single time.
>Healer getting a new damage button is current year
I'll believe it when I see it, if anything they'll remove lord and make it always lady.
There is nothing wrong with AST having RNG, it's literally their gimmick and anyone who wants to remove it completely should have their dicks cut off and then stapled to their forehead so that everyone could see just what a (small) dickhead you are
The people that want 0 rng already cut their own dicks off.
The only thing that makes DRG fun is all its oGCDs
I have a real fear that the job will be barren
>Jump is a GCD skill
>Spineshatter/Dragonfire reworked or removed
>Chaos Thrust/Spring is now a 60 second GCD CD DoT
>You just spam a 5 step combo over and over
Jump is going to be your 6th combo button and you'll like it.
drg and ast were meant to get a rework in ew but yoshi delayed it so he can cut corners for ew, these two are already done for a year at this point
likely will have the EW mindset heavily forced upon it
DRG will lose its dot, its dmg buff
and will become just a dumbfied long combo melee then you press a jump every 60 and 120 secs
Most accurate leaks I've seen.
>2nd charge of Double Down
just give me a cont. after it. in fact give me a cont. after every single ability i have. i just want to press buttons.
They'll almost certainly be getting a cont for fated circle.
This is so accurate to how jobs are designed right now that it completely kills my interest in seeing what job changes DT will bring even though your obviously just shitposting
I'd take a dead level later if it meant not having to the 70s to get fated circle.
Release the fairy mount dungeon
Give us stilts as mounts! For everyone but especially lalafell!
why are you saying this you insensitive frick? ahev some empathy ffs, you hateful bigot why you wish this trauma upon the community? what lalas ever did to you? iam afraid i must report you now sir, enjoy your ban 🙂
Bitch, I am a lala. I want my goofy walking stilts!
I am sad that I missed my chance to take a screenshot of this because I am moronic and pressed the wrong key
you can watch the scene again in the inn.
Go to the inn you dumbo
Not gonna lie, I think they actually shrunk Zero a little for this cutscene. Feels like she should have bent down or even gone to a full kneel to reach lala height. Also summarized that whole scene in my head as "The emo kid cheered up so much they changed jobs!"
They probably shrunk her a bit since she isn't wearing heels as a pld and they can't actually make shoes affect your height.
>wearing heels as a pld and they can't actually make shoes affect your height.
Man, what games do let heels effect your height?

LOL OMFG he loves pudding?!?!! loooooollll XD
Literally seething that there was comic relief in the story.
I forgot when the moogles and namazus ruined the story
You mean the multiple times you have to deal with Namazu during the MSQ in Stormblood? Or the ENTIRE ZONE revolving around moogles in Heavesnward?
Yeah, never happened.
Yeah I also remember people getting mad at it, oh wait it also never happened, because they were based and lopporits are cringe and gay, like the lalas who love them.
Namazu are fine, but everyone hated the moogles in HW especially having to go back and do every fricking quest they skipped in that shit zone to unlock the beast tribe.
They didn't hate the moogles themselves though, only the filler. That's different
>I also remember people getting mad at it, oh wait it also never happened
You did not play through Heavensward back in the day
Everyone hated all the moogle quests in HW and was sick of them by the end
Yoshia and some others on the dev team even commented on a live letter that the community was super bothered with them and all their quests in the MSQ
They weren't mad at moogles per se, but they turned a cute mascot into annoying little fricktards who just exist to piss everything in their zone off
>bunny appears
>secondaries lose their shit
like clockwork
i hope they put more scenes with them in to filter more secondaries
I've played more FF than you did, unfunny lalafell.

Do secondaries really not remember when the heckin chonker bnuuys showed up to talk about pudding over Anna's corpse in FFIV?
>knowing that name of a literal who npc from the worst game in the series
Don't even fricking pretend to bait like that.
>calling anyone else a secondary when you don't know Edward's fiancee
lol
It's not the existence of comic relief, it's the way they show up to deflate all the tension anytime something happens in the story. You know that. Why do you have to act like a bad faith Black person just to stir shit?
>it's the way they show up to deflate all the tension anytime something happens in the story.
Dumbshit, that's what they're for.
That's what they've always been for.
To release the tension after an intense moment so the momentum can build again.
Comic RELIEF.
>Dumbshit, that's what they're for.
>That's what they've always been for.
No, it's not. The Hummingways don't even appear in the FFIV story at all. There's one named Namingway who sits in town if you want to rename your characters. The rest are in a hidden cave on the moon and don't do anything but hum and sell you alarms.
>To release the tension after an intense moment so the momentum can build again.
Comic RELIEF isn't supposed to deflate all tension. It's supposed to give you some room to breathe before diving back into the shit. Which also isn't what happens in Endwalker. In Endwalker the purpose they serve is to constantly remind you that you don't need to stress, you don't need to worry, everything is fine and happy fun good times. Which goes completely against the entire purpose of the story. The point of the story is to face despair head on because you know things will be better on the other side. When you instead surround the player with the happy uwu giggle funtimes hugbox that the Ancients surrounded themselves with, you are shitting in the face of the whole fricking point.
there is no need to argue with george, that dude is a troll, everyone accepts that the lopos segment is trash, just as they do with the annoying labyrinthos one with the epic 1 min loop music going for half an hour while you epically wait for sharlayans to fix the rocket while doing onthing but talking to generic npcs
those segments are not comic relief, nor do they deflate tension, they are over extended padding sessions that overstay their welcome far longer than required and just break the momentum
story telling in xiv is hideous and the only reason people pretend its not is because they are soccer moms who never read a book, played a good rpg and that molded their personalities in online echo chambers
which is why any critics to this game are met with open hostility in boomer dens
Always love the morons who bring up books when talking about pacing. Do you fricking know how awful the pacing of most lengthy books is?
> Do you fricking know how awful the pacing of most lengthy books is?
stop reading gay erotic shit?
You don't read at all.
>i read shit, you must not read at all
bitch, judge your books by their covers, stop buying shit just because they have "best seller" stapled on its cover, you literally bribe your way in charts.
if you wanna be a lil b***h and argue that the game pacing is not shit because shitty book do it all the time, then at least concede that the game's pacing is shit, thus proving the initial point correct instead of being a gay homosexual anally destroyed redditor trying to take a detour
>if you wanna be a lil b***h and argue that the game pacing is not shit because shitty book do it all the time
No, I want you to stop with the "ummmm, read a book lol xD" bullshit. It doesn't mean jackshit. Books are not the end all be all of fiction media, the vast majority of books suck, and books that go on long enough to be best sellers straight up have worse pacing than XIV does. Last fricking book I read was a critically acclaimed historic novel, and a whole quarter of the book was taken up by some arc where the town the protagonists live in has an outbreak of dissentery. None of the main characters die from it. There are no major developments through it. There are no big twists. Just a whole quarter of the book dedicated to talking about how the townsfolk are shitting themselves to death and the main characters are sad about it. By the end they just decide to go back to their business. Literally a fricking filler arc, in a single entry book with no sequels or anything. Another big novel I read recently had the main character leave on a journey, where he gets a wedding proposal he rejects, where he catches a disease he just passes, where he meets a guy who doesn't do anything, and then he goes back and everyone goes "Oh hey there welcome" and goes right back to business as if he didn't even leave at all. And not to mention the vast majority of books pad the frick out of themselves by describing every little detail of a scene or how the character is thinking about what groceries to make for the day.
So don't fricking bring up "hurr durr muh 15 minutes of moving boxes around Sharlayan" and then go and fricking recommend books, because books are the worst fricking media of all when it comes to pacing, and it makes it fricking clear you're just a pretentious small dick moron trying to sound smarter than everyone else in the thread.
I can smell your gapin anus from here
go suck yoshi's wiener some more iam not reading this shit
Yeah, figures that the "hurrr read a book" moron wouldn't be able to read a single paragraph.
>i dont read junk
>read my junk
>no
>haaaa you dont know how to read
this is a win in my books
If XIV was a book, these patches would have been the exact same, except each of them would end with a 30 minutes cutscene of Y'shtola studying shards in real time as her thoughts keep drifting to philosophical dilemmas, Zero staring at indian spices as you get a description of which exact taste buds fire up and of how Estinien contemplates the Radiant Host's exact fighting styles and training methods.
Do you know why the pacing in XIV doesn't bother me as much as it bothers you? It's because I've read SO many books. I've read more fricking books than you've ever seen in your whole life, you fricking cretin.
>Do you know why the pacing in XIV doesn't bother me as much as it bothers you?
Because you're a pig at the trough.
Whatever helps you cope.

Come back when you have an argument and not just impotent rage.
are you the same moron typing seethe to criticisms to the story? because you both sound like you're angry, very angry, shaking in fact.
>The Hummingways don't even appear in the FFIV story at all.
Yes, and..?
>It's supposed to give you some room to breathe before diving back into the shit.
And what did you do before and after the frickers left?
They were the bookends to almost every arc in the story.
>Fandaniel has won, Zodiark is dead, there's a fricking scream from space, you watch etherys rot in front of you
>hey look at Uri in this silly outfit, time to start a new arc
The relief is never the majority of the story, the frickers barely appear. Even when they do, when things get serious they shut the frick up.
They were there the whole time on ultima thule, and they didn't say a goddamn word after you landed.
>there is no need to argue with george
Literally who?
>Yes, and..?
And you said that's what they were always there for. Except they weren't, until EW.
>They were the bookends to almost every arc in the story.
Yes, that's exactly the fricking problem. Thanks for catching up with the conversation little buddy. They show up before and after every event to make sure you don't feel too stressed out. You see nothing wrong with that because, much like the writers, you don't understand the actual message of the story. You're cattle who just slurps up what you're told to enjoy and you never let it cross your mind again. You don't see how it completely conflicts with the primary message of the story. How surrounding yourself with nothing but good feelings and avoiding the dread is exactly what killed the Ancients. If you're telling a story about facing despair head on because you believe that hope will win out and things will be better later, you need to actually let the despair fricking settle in and make the player march through it. As much as you like to meme about MUH WALK you apparently don't understand what it actually meant.

Shadowbringer secondaries likely didn't enjoy this either.
If anything I feel the wowfugees who liked the lopoorit s would never see this scene
ITS LIKE SB WAS ACTUALLY GOOD AND EW WASN'T
The end to this quest made me quite sad, like saying goodbye to an old friend you know you won't see again.
how the frick could ShB secondaries miss it if they did the actual MSQ and raids? I got in around Shadowbringers and I sure as frick didn't pass up the Four Lords raids or that questline. Also I'm with Byakko, why couldn't they find a miqo'te or hroth?
Is it over?

this game have taken the 9gag route and will only get worse
The game was plenty fun when it did its own thing and made its own fun. It's a lot different from just pandering to the twitter crowd. When they wrote a whole time travel story arc in EW just to let people take screenshots with Emet-Selch it became clear that the writing had lost all integrity. But you don't care, you're exactly the crowd they're pandering to. See you next year when you're here jumping out of your seat about the heckin cute taco catte. I can see your post now

>making venat a mommy
>the devs
I thought you were talking about the players at first. when does SE themselves ever paint venat as a mommy? And no, calling her mother hydaelyn doesn't count.
Venat archetype is that of a caring mother
if you play in JP she even uses the mommy voice, and she sounds way more endearing than NA version
idk how you don't see this, even if you discount all the moronic fanbase
There's a very big difference between a motherly character and mommy shit.
idk how YOU don't see this.
the entire literal story of Venat was being the mentor to Azem, and as Hydaelyn, guiding WoL to their ultimate goal of saving everything. Flow is pretty much written from her perspective. the story might as well be saying she is the impromptu mother figure of WoL even if not by literal blood or the like.
when people go "mommy" like
though, that's people being fricking nutjobs and weirdos
Give it to me straight, is FFXIV unironically dying?
No, there's still more players than ever in expansion content.
it unironically is. All the wow refugees that flooded the game 2 years ago are leaving back to wow because dragonflight was bussin fr fr. even our own content creators are turning on xiv and yoship. it's unironically over.
The only time FFXIV would be "dying" is if we somehow went all the way back to 2.0 numbers.
>inb4 that guy shows up with the incomprehensible graph
yes, the playerbase, even normies have started to turn against the devs, minwalker have been a trainwreck in terms of content and the story, which was hailed as the best thing since sex became a total horse shit in the patches
thsi is not Ganker being contrarian, this is the normie opinion, watch Ganker like the game in a few months, when the content drought of MORE THAN 10 MONTHS until next xpac finally hits and redditors get cranky while shitposters tell them to "play another game sweetier :)"
It's the moronic WoWfugees and the culture they bring. Most of them genuinely think FFXIV practically did not exist before ShB and that Assmongo and other shitstains will make or break the game.
FFXIV was successful for more than half a decade before any of the streamer homosexuals arrived and it will still be successful long after they have left.

CBU3 did every frickup Blizzard did, every single one, but FFXIV cultists are too busy eating shit to admit that.
>muh midcore
What even is midcore?
A made-up term that allows shitposters to designate whatever they like as bad content.
content between Savage and Extreme I would say, but people really overestimate the difficulty of Savage
>content between Savage and Extreme I would say
But what actually IS that? Are there any example, either from xiv or other mmos?
Wow Mythics / GW2 fractals, since it has scalable difficulty, for WoW, Heroic difficulty for raids, which was the difficulty between Normal and Mythic
in FFXIV you either have extreme, which is piss easy and pugable, or savage, which most people do in a static
>extreme, which is piss easy and pugable
I'm gonna drop a redpill on you, brother. All mmo content is piss easy and pugable, save for a few exceptions from mmos that are long dead by now. What makes mmo content "hard" is the person in the group with the lowest IQ holding everyone else back until they finally get mechanics down. That or the rest of the group gets good enough at compensating for the dead weight.
kek, please, post logs
I haven't even done an extreme since 6.0 dropped. xiv's combat and encounter design are largely boring to me.
>he talks about extreme
>not a single mention of savage or ultimates
>posts about "difficulties"
I said extreme because that's the entry point for high end content, as in I don't even bother with that anymore.
>but dood ultimates!
It's all the same shit. xiv's combat is so fricking stale by now, there's only so many way you can design a fight and SE has exhausted all of them by now.
unless you're talking about DSR and TOP specifically where the balacing is iffy or outright bugged for months.
ultis are exactly like savage, but with faster and clumped up mechanics
there is no difficulty there that isn't present in savage, the only shit you gotta learn is that instead of waiting 5 secs for a tb bar to fill younow have 1.5 sec, or the busters are consecutive cleaves that require proper timing with cds and shields, EXACTLY like they used to be until SB
the only difficulty in this game is artificial, and there is no way to measure skill solo, you can only measure how good you can repeat the same button inputs over and over for dps, not how good you play and react, in fact, reaction is a joke in this game, as you can pretty much build muscle memory for any fight
you can memorize an ultimate to the point where you can play and watch netflix because the formula is so stale
Its more the jobs themselves. The encounters would be fine if there was more going on than build resource and only spend it every 2 minutes or if you're going to overcap.
This, so much of the content feels boring too play solely thanks to job design being so fricking static and shit 90% of the time. It doesn't help that lower level content is even worse since every class is missing massive parts of their kits until they reach at least 50, some won't even feel "good" until 60+.
The devs have to completely rebalance and reorganise every single action for almost every single job at the minimum if they want to even start unfricking this
The jobs have nothing to do with the bosses themselves. Their attacks and the shit you have to dodge is all the same shit now. Once in a while SE will do something out of the ordinary, like in llymlaen fight this patch where she knocks you back and you have to run a little obstacle course, but that's it.
it's impossible to create more varied fights with this shit engine, they should kill XIV like in 1.0 and rework the entire game
Their engine isn't really the problem, it's their design decisions. There is nothing stopping them from going back on the 2min meta and making jobs more than just "build then spend". Fricking Everquest does a better job at designing classes and their engine is ancient and dogshit with only 6 fricking people doing anything with it anymore
he does not even play the game and he is trying to doompost about it
I've played the game since the tail end of HW.
>GW2 fractals
genuinely one of the best dungeon systems ever made in an mmo and arena net decided to do nothing with it
Unironically exploration content like Bozja and Eureka. It isn't as much the difficulty aspect and more the commitment aspect that a lot of "midcore" players can't handle and I don't fricking blame them. Finding a static that doesn't make you go bald from stress and anger is a minor miracle in the westerns communities current state, most people don't want to feel chained to the game in any way regardless so just making a time commitment when there is no guarantee that there will be progress is also a massive turnoff for a lot of people.
Casual with extra steps.
good grief, i have never realized that island is essentially our garrison...
and both xpacs were the ones with zero content
does this means DT will be our legion? the xpac will start with them killing alphinaud so we can get alisaiebringer as a relic?

The same people still defending XIV are the same who defended WoW
To be honest, I sincerely think they're copying WoW down to the expansion features and systems
>TBC-Heavensward(The one that set the standard: Flying mounts, etc.)

>CATA-Shadowbringers(Jobs fully homogenized)
>skip an expansion because of co-vid
>WOD-Endwalker(Remove content in favor of Island Sanctuary and modes that reward nothing)
kinda similar, idk
>WOTLK-Stormblood(regarded as when the game was the best + had the most content)
by normalgays yeah. stormblood is were a lot of the cancerous ongoing designs started or were firmly established
Which would be fitting, much like WOTLK was the downfall of WoW so was Stormblood for FFXIV.
I just wish these games had more RPG systems and character progression that made playing with others fun and not the same stupid shit over and over.
Midcore is anything you can do after x amount of times even if you aren't amazing at the game
That's literally everything though.
Frickingway
There's no Fukcingway!
See what I did there?
Why would I play a game with 600 hours of a terrible story delivered to me with terrible presentation with no RPG elements so I can hit endgame and then do mediocre combat with inherent lag and bugged animation locks
(Also I'm synced down most of the time which completely breaks my class because most of them come online at level 70+ despite the developers knowing I won't be spending most my time at max).
Literally what does FFXIV offer anyone, especially new players

>another doomie thread
It's just going to get worse until 7.0 isn't it?
You being a footgay explains a lot.
femhroth will look like this and save the game
>source?
It came to me in a prompt
in the grand scheme of things, EW isn't that bad, but Island Sanctuary was frick awful with no Bozja/Eureka to compensate since this WAS the equivalent, and the story went full moron but we've had moronic story with Stormblood and Realm Reborn as is. so now that shit is wrapping up and people are realizing it's 3 months to the next big update and then the better part of 6 months or more after that for DT, yeah folks are just gonna ruminate on how shit this whole expansion came together.
I'm still mad that Mandervilles are aliens too now and it can only get worse with that plot
>are realizing it's 3 months to the next big update
part 2 is a big update now?
is this the current cope?
part 2 patches were never big, much less now
what will it bring? 1 criterion, 1 hildi quest, 1 tome relic and 1 island update?
you really think this is big? big enough to justify waiting until august/september for the expac?

the 3 real reasons FFXIV is getting doomposts despite doing the same shit for 10+ years
>2.0 til now has been 10+ years now
people are just too used to the game and sick if it.
>newbies who started in shb/ew are throwing a fit over content not exponentially increasing every half year
>the game is just completely figured out so people just create outrage bait in the form of doomposts to create interactions
playing something different really is the best advice. people were sick as frick and fed up with WoW at the 10 year mark too
everything is fine, the game is fine, everyone doomposting are just making shit up
everyone holding hands now and singing kumbaya, the game is fine

>People are still seething about Venat even to this day
How did Ishikawa do it? How did she manage to write a character that singlehandedly mindfricked so many people for so long?
It's funny because Venat and Emet are boomers.
Venat sacrificed the boomers to save the future.
Emet kills zoomers so boomers can live just a little more and suck the world dry.
bad writing
By being the character that brought down a self-destructive "perfect society" and had to be heralded as a hero despite the moral ambiguity yet necessity of it. The mentally ill parts of the fanbase that sucked Emet and the Ancients off after ShB took it as a very, very personal offense.
Alisaie is made for anal
All women are literally made, as in by evolutionary, biological design, for impregnation.
Wait till it releases on Xbox. That's when the devs will actually do their job.
It's funny seeing all the new players freak out about the pre-expansion period
Comfy
You are a new player, you were not even around this threads back in the shadowbringers period.
Nooo, don't expose the lalas as shadowbabies, they're going to start spamming the threads even more
The most hilarious shit is that even when they are shadowbabies they were not even posting on the threads until endwalker.
Even the waiting period for Endwalker was barren of the lala avatarhomosexualry.
Don't expose their presence with the current state of the game either

Ishikawa is ryan johnsoning the game
Right in the sense that they were beings created by humans and empowered by faith.
Wrong in the sense that they weren't purposefully engineered to be evil b***hes draining the land of aether and brainwashing an ever-increasing horde of thralls.
They do tell you there's a reason the prayers don't go to them, and without that reason they'd behave like any other primal. Hell they're still influenced by mortal myths and legends regardless.
You know I generally scoff at "don't do/say this because it might scare the populace" plotlines, but I think "don't tell people their gods are dead" is actually a fairly understandable one.
the people thought them as myths before
why would we reveal that they're real just to say they just died
>they are primals
>they wanna die
>die
>people still worship them
>people are praying to non entitities now thus forming new primals
>wol and group think everything will be fine
>now thus forming new primals
The final boss arena is a machine to prevent this. Not defending the story, I hate what they did with the Twelve. I would be more okay with it if they all got to become mortals.
the twelve already said they made a mechanism that any prayer towards them will be channeled unto the planet instead.
sure it is handwaving but they explained it
stop skipping cutscenes
>its your fault the devs did a lazy mcguffin to explain shit, nvm that it completely contradicts any set lore, haha cutscene skipper
EAT LEAD YOSHI KEK
>Try to tell the truth that the 12 are no longer around
>everyone just calls you a fedora tipping moron
Saying we killed the gods and have proof in the form of aether readings and witnesses is different.
They did the same thing with Coils but now it's bad suddenly?
You were supposed to be quiet about Louisoix so nobody started a cult around him and summoned him back as a primal. With the Twelve it's pretty much the opposite. You need the faith to keep going so their mission to channel prayer to the planet doesn't get fricked up.
Well everyone in the world decided to stop calling the world Hydaelyn out of the blue without anyone informing them of the planet's true name so...
This happened in ARR too with everyone suddenly calling the planet Hydaelyn. In 1.0 lore most people weren't even aware of the world's name at all. That was spread by the Scions in the 5 year time skip, along with knowledge of the Mothercrystal.
That makes no sense. Nobody thought to give the planet a name until 1572 + 5? C'mon.
It was called Hydaelyn but the average person didn't know or give a shit. Remember in 1.0 and ARR the setting was really different. Most people were starving dirt farmers. Ask them where they live and they'd say Thanalan.
Eorzea was a lot less magical and more grounded as a setting up until about stormblood, although it really only jumped the shark in endwalker
Only the Scions regularly refer to the planet as Etheirys since they're the only people that were present to learn the planet's original name
I think the Twelve jumped the gun with their mass suicide since the WoL already had to prevent two potential apocalypses immediately after dealing with the Final Days. Dude's not gonna be around forever y'know.
The Twelve weren't stopping Calamities anyway, they were just holding the world together because the aether became so thin post-sundering and then they had to rebalance shit after each rejoining.
>they should make the game F2P
no thanks.
Primal has it bad enough as is
I met a brazilian favela chick once
she was super into sub, rimjob and pegging, horny asf
nicest girl ever
i miss her a lot bros
Can the alliance raid coins be farmed or are they weekly?
weekly
can do hunts to get the twine/shine too but it's a bit more grindy
what is this expression trying to convey?
"I just had an Echo vision, guess what of."
The expression of a midget that is about to bully your penis.
Desire for my loins
My wife Krile
That's the look she gives Alisaie and Y'shtola after spending the night in WoL's bedchambers.

I knew his opinion was shit when he said he was a story skipper and that he thinks HW had better class design.
>[Embed] [Embed] [Embed]
Holy fricking christ you are mentally ill. You're literally copy/pasting your doomposts.
.
The last part is complete bullshit, it makes it sound like HW came out in 2005 or something.
it is true
you had to rely on infographs made by other people to know how to play a job
there were no video guides for any jobs
nobody knew how some mechanics worked
nobody even knows if a4s was cleared in less than a month
>there were no video guides for any jobs
Don't know about the rest but I literally looked up video guides for my jobs when HW released.
and were they optimal?
They eventually helped me clear Alex Savage, so they weren't bad, at least.
>heavensward job design was le better (he really says this)
He's right.
>no more class crossover abilities (yeah he really believes this)
This is objectively true, regardless of your opinion. Cross class abilities objectively do not exist.
>game is easier and even harder content is easier
True
>every mechanic is the same stay out of the bad and go in to the good stuff
True
>game is focusing on casual players at the cost of hardcore players
True
Anyway not watching your homosexual e-celeb video.

LOOOOOOLLLL
HOMIE MAKIN HORSEFART HE b***h
YEEERRRPP
he was right about everything
What went so wrong?
no option to change the biome
It got hyped up as something it wasn't intended to be at all, and everybody got disappointed based on that hype train
if they didn't want people to be hyped for it they shouldn't have shown us art that ended up being a false advertisement
menu based gameplay and the menus were designed by a lobotomy patient.
It's a weekly spreadsheet simulator with clickable nodes
It's not even as engaging as normal gathering which is an absolute bore on its own
The concept was interesting
>>game is easier and even harder content is easier
>>game is focusing on casual players at the cost of hardcore players
Why does every thread and every other site complain about raidtrannies and catering to raiders and that the fights are too hard now?
People complained that DSR/TOP are too hard and catering to raiders?
Someone decided the way to go about a farming and peaceful retirement fantasy was to manage excel sheets.
>No farming 101 upgrades like aoe gathering, gathering while mounted, aoe planting, aoe watering
>Not giving you multiple pens to place captured animals in with different biomes like grasslands, waterfront, cave so that you can theme their homes
>No progressive seasons
>No isle npcs with storylines just fire and forget visitations
People wanted Harvest Moon/Stardew Valley but got custom deliveries with extra steps.
It's better than Ishgard Restoration.
Ishgard Restoration at least had some genuinely emotional moments and tons of great rewards.
Nobody cares about your pteradon mount. What a waste of life
>finally get around to leveling all my jobs to 90
>mfw AST, PLD, BRD and WHM
They feel so fricking outdated and boring compared to the rest. RDM was pushing it too, feels like the job hasn't changed at all since its introduction, and it shows.
If this game's lore is so great, why don't we know what other cultures call the planet?
What is the planet called in Hingan or the ancestral Xaela language?
Because everyone in the world speaks the same language, if anything there's just different dialects.
Oh and dragons speak their own tongue i suppose, but that's because they are illegal aliens.
>Because everyone in the world speaks the same language, if anything there's just different dialects.
Hyuran Common is a trade language everywhere but those cultures do have their own native languages.
When people say a video game's lore is great, what they actually mean is "for a video game this lore isn't dull and/or moronic". It's better than, say, capeshit or Harry Potter, but it's not exactly Tolkien either.
>It's better than, say, two of the biggest pillars of pop culture with fanatically devoted fanbases, but it's not exactly the absolute biggest pillar of pop culture with the most devoted fanbase.
You know that we were strictly talking about the lore, right? HP can't even explain how its most basic premise functions, not even in some entertaining roundabout kind of way.
>If this game's lore is so great, why don't we know what other cultures call the planet?
`Cause they're saving it for their own expansions.
We just spent a whole expansion in India. In FFXI when you get to Aht Urhgan they always call the planet Urhguum (can't remember the exact spelling).
We learned what they call dynamis, we learned what their own local deities are like, we learned what they eat and drink, we even learned what their common jobs are. The only thing we didn't learn is whether they have a different name for the planet, but since Hydaelyn seems to be a universal goddess everyone acknowledges separate of their own local deities like the Twelve, kami or manusya, then it stands to reason they also call it Hydaelyn.
>but since Hydaelyn seems to be a universal goddess everyone acknowledges separate of their own local deities like the Twelve
But this doesn't make sense because in 1.0 nobody knew of any Mothercrystal or thought Hydaelyn was a deity. Hydaelyn was just the name of the planet according to the Sharlayans. The Mothercrystal wasn't a known concept until the Circle of Knowing went and spread the information between 1.0 and ARR.
And Thavnair is close allies with Sharlayan and get all their innovations and discoveries earlier than anyone else, so there you have it.
One thing that I will never accept is how meracydia and the new world just stood there doing nothing during the final days, the allegedly world ending threat of EW
much like the joke irl where third worlders are like 10 years behind in terms of culture, tech and news, I bet my ass that they won't even notice the whole world ending bullshit lost in fedex somewhere
prob were dealing with their own shit, anon.
they will never mention anything like final days in their end
you are dumb have a nice day
thats the issue, so the writers are trying to convince us that the universe ending cataclism that destroyed several worlds before just happens in a tiny island and in a fricking ice cube where there will be no casualities other than the small pops living there, and them role quests further tone down the threat by making it that blasphemies can walk around without people shitting themselves so much as to become blasphemies themselves and can still interact in a semi social way with aether based lifeforms, and be redeemed back into the lifestream once dead
it just reeks of zero proof reading between a dozen writers
Why would they react to a bunch of monsters out of nowhere by rushing to a foreign continent to talk about it?
The whole point of the Final Days impacting just a tiny area (relatively speaking) was that modern, sundered Man weren't emotional manlets like the Ancients were. Still more than enough despair going around to cause problems in Thavnair, but they pulled through; once people realized what the frick was happening and what the cause was for turning, barely anybody turns in the role quests or the MSQ thereafter.
Meanwhile Amaurot sat around with its dick in its hand until the Final Days were knocking on their own door.
You know I hadn't considered it until now, but it actually takes some ridiculous bullshit to get the Final Days rolling in modern day Etheirys.
>A merchant/philanthroper who's got so utterly ruined people are starving on his doorstep.
>A fricking clone of dead people melted together after a traumatic enslavement and death.
Other normal people didn't start turning until they were like, getting fricking goomba stomped or munched.
I think they did a genuinely good job of showing how fricking bad off you really need to be for "despair" to settle in. Severe trauma or severe stress/guilt/sadness, one of the two.
4.4 to 5.3 is great, everything else lore-wise is pretty milquetoast.
