This tells me the expansion will be the New World.
Or at least I feel if the 7.0 setup will be "some mysterious client wants to gather a group to go to X place" that the New World is more likely since it should have more riches and/or knowledge to gather than Meracydia.
They just mean not aligned with any city state in particular so none of the city leaders can just fucking say "Uhhh, drop your fucking job right now and come help us".
Who do we think Krile's letter is from? The same person who's gathering up Arcons?
Probably. Either that or 7.0 will be a SB kind of deal yet again, having to balance two different continents.
They're arguably actually politically neutral since their world-saving extends to the actual world and even some others, before it was just a matter of not being politically affiliated to any of the three city-states or explicitly to Ishgard (WoL fighting in the practice melee against the 3 city-states in Heavensward would have been the biggest fuckup to that whole line if it wasn't convenient at the time)

Just including that because the trailer is gonna need some big WTF hook to get people buzzing and I figured some kind of mind control fuckery would be the excuse we would need to get Krile off the sidelines due to Echo immunity
>golbez getting up after we kick his ass, going "no u", and do his plan anyway which realistically why didnt he do at any other point is fucking stupid
To be fair, that is 100% consistent with Final Fantasy IV.

trusts are great
Athena pins you down and jackhammer fucks you while being completely disinterested and taking zero real pleasure in it since she just needs it for an experiment
memoriate crystal fell into Zeromus
souls eaten by voidsent remain intact
said souls are freed if the voidsent is slain
so when we kill Zeromus it will not only release Azdaja but also Not-Golbez. I'm not saying he's gonna be an important character in 7.0
but he's gonna be an important character in 7.0
But he is. It's a stupid twist that serves no purpose because the person under the armor is exactly who everyone said it would be. There was no indication Golbez could be someone else until today.
I thought he would have been the sword guy, but that the sword guy had eaten Golbez in some fit of bromance.
You know, like HAVE THEM USE THE VOIDSENT LORE THEY'VE BEEN BULDING? Mirror the two tiny voidsent friends from earlier? Who Zero even brings up at the end. But of course they didn't do that.
Elidibus was one of my favorite characters, the ending got me good.
Was a great send off after everything we had been through.
His fight, the BGM and the Arena were absolute kino, never imagined we would have a fight in the convocations meeting room in Amaurot.

I'm surprised the contingent hasn't had a to deal with a wave of casualties from garleans killing their workers because "You gave me the soup a bit too cold and our national dish is hot".
7.0 will be some expedition to possibly Mercydia. Its the envelope on Krile's desk and the thing Urianger and Thancred were talking about. This means Y'shtola, Thancred, Urianger and Keile are set as party. Twins don't have tattoos and have to stay home.

Also if this mysterious client does try to get Y'shtola, Thancred, Urianger, Krile and G'raha to go, then the most obvious next step is that they convince this client to also take the rest of the group.
No less in part because WoL is not an archon either.
We've had 5 renditions (Full Fathom Five, 'Neath Dark Waters, Mortal Instants, To the Edge and P11) of that song. Seeing the debate chamber was fantastic.
Pandaemonium was RIGHT FUCKING THERE and we get a fucking axoatl. A creature that has NOTHING to do with the raid at all. This is an even bigger miss than Titan's go-kart. This is like getting a flying cookie from E12S because Gaia mentioned coffee biscuits once or the ironworks coffee mug from O12S.
the axolotl is a running joke as an amaurotine concept, it's why it got the little bit in the viewfinder quest at sharlayan's nature preserve after coming back from elpis
I paused after finishing endwalker and my entire inventory is filled with items and gear and I have literally no idea how to play most of the classes I maxed anyway. Will I regret when I simply sell all of my items and gear (except the class I plan to play) to start over clean? Fuck hoarding items and fuck micromanaging all that shit, I rather just purge everything and focus on one class to get back into the game with a clean inventory.
Why don't they just make the trials and alliance raids canon at this point? Look what they managed to do with the Crystal Tower. It would open up a lot more opportunities to tell new stories using old elements if they could use all of the optional storylines and not risk confusing players who haven't done it (like they initially did before they made CT required for MSQ progression).
They always were canon lmao. Bahamut and phoenix, Omega is referenced a bunch, Pandamoneum is mentioned in the latest msq, void ark came up in the msq with all the void bullshit going on etc.
The only raid that I doubt will see any more use lorewise would be the nier ones obviously.
Canon was the wrong word. I meant required. Like force people to do them before they can move on with the msq so they can use elements from them for the msq itself and reference them without confusing people who skip them/don't know they exist.
Amazed the original world didn't fall apart within years of creation if there were demigods with actual selfish and destructive intent. Them being mostly neutral hippies was the only way that made sense unless there's a wetworks team cleaning up the bad ones constantly.
>unless there's a wetworks team cleaning up the bad ones constantly.
Who says there wasn't? I'm betting half the shit Azem did was clean up after idiots creating retarded shit.
>alternate universe where the Ascians win, but Lahabrea's ex comes back and destroys the world anyway >Emet-Selch rubbing his brow as reality is unmade around them because Lahabrea managed to let him down one last time
The more content we get of the original worlds villains, the more it undercuts the idea that the old world was a paradise where trillions now must die to bring it back. What a bunch of goons. At least now the megalomaniacal freaks are easier to kill than Ascians.
So you are telling me we defeated Zodiark at half his full power, but now we shit our pants at Zeromus, who is 1/14th of Zodiark at best? Makes no sense that we had to run away at the end.
I can't imagine they'll bring him back; YoshiP said himself that he's deader than dead. It's just going to be Harchefault levels of REMEMBER THIS GUY flashbacks.
I already guarantee this clip will generate some drama. Theres some people out there who despise Zenos. >wtf Yoshida, you made our character think of a genocidal maniac as a friend?
>first quest of new patch >"estinien has been working hard nonstop to train the soldiers but zero..." >zero walks out in sweat pants and a tank top, munching on a bag of hot cheetos and having visibly gained some weight
damn bros wtf did they do to her
So if High Seraph Ultima existed on Etherys before the sundering and gave the Heart of Sabik to Athena.. does that mean she was sundered as well? Does every shard have their own High Seraph that produces Auracite?
Not necessarily. The implication is only that the auracite was discovered in ancient times, not that contact was made. Could've been a meteorite, but the fact the Ultima made her way to Ethyris despite existing since ancient times, or are least her race doing so, is pretty interesting.
At the end I guess it was not possible to salvage ARR Lahabrea, even after all that it still doesn't feel that Panda Laha and ARR Laha is the same person.
Ngl the fact he's been appearing so little and learning that he was the least popular Scion in the polls does slightly worry me. But he's the one that mentioned the expedition, so he'll be fine, right?
His story was finished with Ryne. His love interest is dead and gone. His ability to use aether is gone. They've tapped him out for story purposes, they should have just let Meteion kill him at the end of Endwalker like initially teased.
I don't get why they couldn't just give us random NPCs instead of the scions so they wouldn't have to force them into the story just to take part in dungeons.
The same reason why they pulled estinien in underwear flexing and sweating

Estinien didn’t even show up for the dungeon though. In fact… did anything happen in that cutscene at all or did we show up to his room to say “hey bro we’re gonna go do some plot stuff brb”

He got a codex entry this patch and it confirmed he saw og minfillia as his daughter even if that does make him a pretty deadbeat dad

In ARR he dropped a huge poem about how lovely she is (though it did get replaced in 5.3 for an insinuation that Y'shtola likes WoL, but that does tell how new the people who think Thancred wanted to fuck Minfilia are) and when she arrived at the Rising Stones in the post patches he talked about maybe convincing her to fuck (didn't work, because by that point F'lhammin already knows Thancred isn't really family man material).

> but that does tell how new the people who think Thancred wanted to fuck Minfilia are
Even if you’re new, the fact that the name he gave her is literally “my daughter” in Latin should be a big hint how he sees her
Actually amazing. Somehow the coolest scion that has probably gone through the most development (aside from Alphinaud) is less popular than boring shitters like the twins and Y'shtola. The solution would probably be to have him start simping for the self-insert main character. Works wonders if Alisaie and Graha are any indication.
His scenes felt kind of weird it's not like they needed him to tank since Vtra's been doing that, I'm just taking it as them wanting to introduce all the scions to Zero (other than graha since he's busy doing alliance stuff)
I wouldn't put it past them, but that would be so unbelievably corny. XIV's story trajectory really is nonstop growing pains. ARR and Stormblood didn't utilize NPCs well, and then SB and EW figured out people like hanging with their NPC bros but now they're immortal so long as they're popular enough.
I can't see them bringing Zenos back literally as he was. He'd be a liability in more ways than one and Wol's not going to just resurrect a guy because "wow he's just like me!" and then let him wander off. Kick him into the aetherial sea so he can have a chance at a happer reincarnation, maybe.
No, they very clearly stated 6.0 ended in 6.0 and the next story began in 6.1, which they've done nothing but give us filler patches without any actual direction.
So the Themis we see in present day in panda is the actual one who died to become Zodiark's heart whereas the one we kill and who doesn't return to the aethereal sea is the primal, have I got that right?
His essence got succed into the Crystal Tower and from there he somehow has been allowed to be reborn, possibly thanks to Aethena who dragged his ass from the First's aetherpool. He's with frens now watching WoL TV.
Big Question: Is there any explanation for why ARR-Lahabrea did not remember the WoL from Elpis? He did not lose his memories like Emet and Elidibus did.

I'm pretty sure their answer as to how the unsundered managed to avoid it was "uh yeah don't worry about it" so any headcanon you make up is probably fine.
iirc there's an explanation in that nier gacha
I think most of the original convocation just got their shit smashed in by Venat while she was ganking Zodiark and she sundered them along with the body and the life stream, that or they died in the 12000 years between and their souls got put through a sundered lifestream grater
its kinda fucking retarded
mounts like that are usually reserved for side content
they couldn't make anything new so they just scaled up a minion and called it a day
I thought the mount was going to be Pandaemonium but this was honestly so fucking bad, at least it's not another phoenix.
Asphodelos mount remains the best one.
the real blackpill that people refuse to take is that Shadowbringers devs and co. aren't coming back to work on FFXIV from XVI after it releases
the quality you get now is the quality you're gonna get in 7.0+
forget about a good MMO until FFXVII which will be like 6 years from now on
>Shadowbringers devs
lol
lmao
Shadowbringers was already made by the newer staff, all the key people who made XIV what it was left after shipping Stormblood.
Anon the shb/ew writer probably got drafted for XVII already
I'm sure that the XVI engine will basically be used to template HD FF games (if not also remakes) for a few years the same way Capcom suddenly sprang back from irrelevance once they realized they could just make anything in the newest iteration of the RE engine
good, XIV is running on a 21 year old engine, game plays archaic and SE doesn't give a fuck even though its their main money maker
fuck that game and fuck SE tbh
>Next expansion's story is shaping up to be complete dogshit
Better fucking make the content worthwhile like Stormblood or it's genuinely gonna make 14 get a massive drop of players.
7.0 will remove effect radius, buffs and heals will apply to everyone, also they will remove positionals. In 7.01 when new raid comes out all boss markers will be gone and bosses will be attackable from anywhere in the arena.
They're removing any kind of skill expression. It still won't fix the shitter problem; there is no force strong enough in the universe to make shitters actually press their buttons.
>ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO dungeon ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO obstinate garlemorons ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO finally some cool shit with Chadbez ZERO ZERO y'shtola has to read books for another 6 months
Elidibus (Extreme) was good, can Elidibus (Savage) be a good fight as well and be the first (and last) third fight this expansion that isn't total dogshit?
Genuinely if there's another Yshtola death scene, even if they actually commit to it this time I won't be phased because they've subverted it to the point where I don't believe they'd ever actually do it. It's not an interesting plot contrivance anymore, she's unkillable.
>Her and Estinien are the only ones making this story at least somewhat bearable. >Their roles for two whole patches have just been "Go away every time something's going to actually happen" and "Go away at the end of the patch to singlehandedly find a solution".
At least I got to see the dynamic duo this patch, but it's not like Thancred stuck around for long. And the twins are fucking stuck with the garleans which is the most boring and infuriating story they've ever been involved in.
Normal Golbez was fun but felt like it had a couple of half baked mechanics like the stone drop that never overlaps with anything and the braindead exaflares.
An abridged version would be worth watching. The pace they actually went with was fucking horrendous. This plotline did not deserve all post expansion patches.
Done with the MSQ, tataru and raid quests.
Raid storyline = best in game.
tataru questline was good, but I expect to see tataru. Loved gaius. tas simple
msq = good. Some pacing issue, but not anything new.
8/10, 10/10 if 6.5 is kino as fuck.

They were talking about the meaning of "friend" and Zenos was all about that shit.
Remember the scene where he went back to Ala Mhigo to think about what Alisaie said to him? This was basically an addendum to that.
Yeah it feels a bit incongruous for WoL to be so affected by Zenos. I genuinely never got that read from the two characters. Certainly not in SB, and even if they tried to make it a thing in EW it was like ok thanks for helping me save the universe, I'll give you the fight you've been jonesing for then I'm done with you forever.
Considering in 6.2 they gave the player the option to say a cutting "No" at Zero asking if Zenos was our friend, I'm wierded out that now they show him there.

Get her a fuck ton of fiber.
Indian style curry is usually a bit thinner, but fragrant. Kind of like a Hispanicy stew. Japanese style curry is more like a gravy, and is usually thicker and more savory regardless of Hispanice level.
Either way its delicious.

Is there any other content thats fun? Like, is there any point to level gatherer/crafting classes? Or is it at least more fun? How about that weird ass island content they added recently? I kinda feel like playing but cant get into the mood to jump back into the dungeon/raid threadmill shit.
There's Eureka and Bozja, they're a microcosm of REAL MMO gameplay and both well worth doing.
Everything else is set dressing for "savage raiding" which is basically just glorified Simon Says. Dungeons are not meant to be hard, exciting, or anything at all really. You do them once and move on.
The crafting classes only exist to create gear for raiders before they're able to accumulate enough gear from the raids themselves. There are other trinkets, distractions, but nothing of actual value.
The island is a skinnerbox with no real customization or anything. You can catch a few animals which drop the same shit, you can choose which 3 of 5 buildings you would like on your island. That is all.

That's just as hot as being seduced by Yotsuyu and then murdered in my sleep after outliving my usefulness.
Athena doesn't have super-herpes though
>Blonde guy wasn't golbez
More satisfying misdirect than Zero not being Zeromus
that was probably the one thing that actually mattered in this part of the MSQ
MYSTERY broS is back
>More payoff bullshit that won't amount to anything
who cares
memoriate crystal fell into Zeromus
souls eaten by voidsent remain intact
said souls are freed if the voidsent is slain
so when we kill Zeromus it will not only release Azdaja but also Not-Golbez. I'm not saying he's gonna be an important character in 7.0
but he's gonna be an important character in 7.0
But he is. It's a stupid twist that serves no purpose because the person under the armor is exactly who everyone said it would be. There was no indication Golbez could be someone else until today.
I thought he would have been the sword guy, but that the sword guy had eaten Golbez in some fit of bromance.
You know, like HAVE THEM USE THE VOIDSENT LORE THEY'VE BEEN BULDING? Mirror the two tiny voidsent friends from earlier? Who Zero even brings up at the end. But of course they didn't do that.
the way she said those names made my dick hard
Bros.
Indian accents are hot.
Do the needful, sair.
>t. pajeet
good morning sir
Does voidlist work yet? Game s fucking unplayable without it.
They added anti-cheat mods are broken forever
>implying trannies wouldn't bomb SE HQ if that was the case
So what is it about the OG Golbez that makes them not want to let us hear him speak? Is he the azem shard after all?
I think so, Zero mentioned the person she met was travelling with a mage so I did wonder if it changed based on the player
Yes. The cutscene is first person and unvoiced to avoid giving Golbez's friend a male or female model, just like Azem.
I doubt that's the reason considering shards don't have to be the same sex as the player
100% a shard of Azem.
(You) get to be Golbeza? That's so cool
>Golbez himself is a Zenos shard
oh no
So can you only get one reward from P9-P11 and 2 from 12? Fuck I need higher ilvl for ex
So was the ending to the Pandaemonium raids kino?
it was ok, but the fights themselves were pretty fucking good overall
kind of excited for savage to be honest
More Elidibus kino wasn't too sure about his voice acting though it felt like the actor kept stopping to actually read the words
It was alright, but could've been better. I don't expect anything from Hiroi, so it was a nice surprise.
It was the best raid story apart from bahamut one, of course it's not exactly a high bar.
It answered many questions and wrapped things up neatly. Good fights. Looking forward to Savage.
im really looking forward to p11s and p12s
I really enjoyed p10 too. The spider web stage fuckery was kind of cool, I'm hope we get more unique stages like p2 and p10 goign forward.
Elidibus was one of my favorite characters, the ending got me good.
Was a great send off after everything we had been through.
His fight, the BGM and the Arena were absolute kino, never imagined we would have a fight in the convocations meeting room in Amaurot.
Eric telling his mother that he was worthless because how he was raised was pretty based.

My disappointment is immeasurable.
Im going to marry Gaius instead
P9N was fucking trash, what were they thinking. It was bad even by standards of it being the first floor.
Hey guys remember FF4?
So what is Zeromus basically?
A burden.
zodiark's shard turned into a voidsent
Zodiark's aether infused into a dragon's body.
a problem
A shard of Zodiark's aether + Azdaja's will to return home
Why doesn’t Zeromus ever get anything good?
Ignored in Dissidia and turned into a fucking ffxiv heartless
Because he's lame and barely a character. Literally just above fucking Necron
>alpha legend white mage
>gets hit by a vuln every pull
>Why did they mention Hege being such a great and brilliant scientist and mage so many times and why did she have two boss fights, why did they want her to be a thing so bad
>Oh she sorta kinda did something
L A M E
I was just glad she came back in some form
They handled Zero much better this patch and the Golbez fight(normal) was not a cake walk. I have nothing else to say yet have not done pandemonium.
hat tip count was 7, I think
also yeah, she's still a clueless bitch but at least she's showing progress
At this point I just see it as a charcetr quirck like early estinien leaning on a wall all the time.
>Oh boy, time for a sweet dose of exp from leveling rolo
>The Naval
Could've been Bbowl of embers, at least at 34 you may have some buttons..

>Girl at the camp acts like saying anything at all about her rescuers will make them cut her rations and leave her to starve despite how many fucking times we've helped them for free and despite them being the only ones to lash out.
>Now this.
Garleans are officially the worst people in XIV.
they and mhiggers should marry
ayo jamie lee curtis is in ffxiv?
I don't think anyone told them about Ascians etc, so in their eyes we literally just invaded to dab on them
Imagine invading territories, dominating them, then getting extraordinarily pissy and indignant when those people rise up and beat you without mass genocide. Shit is like if Americans actually got their comeuppance, they'd never stop complaining about how unfair it all is.
>nooo the tower is evil and killed my family, I wish it was gone
>the tower is a sign of our people
lmao garlecucks
>Noooooooooo don't destroy our out-of-control death machines! They may kill a few people bringing us aid but they're our national identity!
>identity
*resources
He acted like a moron but it made sense. You don't want your only out of control artillery to cease to be, but to get control over it once again
I'm surprised the contingent hasn't had a to deal with a wave of casualties from garleans killing their workers because "You gave me the soup a bit too cold and our national dish is hot".
Garleans are a bunch of whiny bitches. They had it hard once before and now they want to play the victim card forever.
>literally the only person to bring the MSQ forwards
It's kinda funny that all the important shit happened offscreen lmao
It is pretty amazing that she is the only one to have any sort of plan. Hey at least 6.5 will have Ryne, so thats cool.
I was curious, but what was the giant castle mixup boss that was shown in the preview trailer for the patch? It was like a giant face and stuff.
Pandaemonium. The building itself.
You picked the first option, orange Hispanicy powder, right?
it was bright red and not orange but yes
bitch wanted heat and she gon get it
cute cat, would kiss forehead
7.0 will be some expedition to possibly Mercydia. Its the envelope on Krile's desk and the thing Urianger and Thancred were talking about. This means Y'shtola, Thancred, Urianger and Keile are set as party. Twins don't have tattoos and have to stay home.
I can't see them leaving Estinien out since he only joined 1 expansion ago.
Estenien gets a letter from Tiamat
I feel like New World is more likely for an "expedition" requiring archons. Also you forgot G'raha is an archon too.
The whole group is going, just because the twins aren't invited to whatever this thing is doesn't mean they aren't allowed to travel to its location.
Also if this mysterious client does try to get Y'shtola, Thancred, Urianger, Krile and G'raha to go, then the most obvious next step is that they convince this client to also take the rest of the group.
No less in part because WoL is not an archon either.
The mysterious client will end up being pirate queen Femhroth Faris
There are also apparently not a lot of archons. This person inviting them might really be their way of hiring the scion without hiring the scions.
>Meracydia
That entire storyline has been given a resolution anon, that's not the next expansion.
Zero makes every patch feel like a Dora the explorer episode, today we learnt about trust
Worst.
Security guard.
Ever.
WOL has unmatched Azem charisma
>cave has its own track
didn't expect that
P11 has the best theme. Themis' combat form is a cool combination of the WoL and Zodiark
>highlight of 5.3
>highlight of 6.4
unstoppable
We've had 5 renditions (Full Fathom Five, 'Neath Dark Waters, Mortal Instants, To the Edge and P11) of that song. Seeing the debate chamber was fantastic.
6.4 was fucking kino.
Pandaemonium was RIGHT FUCKING THERE and we get a fucking axoatl. A creature that has NOTHING to do with the raid at all. This is an even bigger miss than Titan's go-kart. This is like getting a flying cookie from E12S because Gaia mentioned coffee biscuits once or the ironworks coffee mug from O12S.
the axolotl is a running joke as an amaurotine concept, it's why it got the little bit in the viewfinder quest at sharlayan's nature preserve after coming back from elpis
>mogshop exclusive mount
They got away with it with cruse chaser.
I stopped playing after finishing 6.0
Is it worth resubing now?
no
6.4 is a dud
D-doc?!
might as well wait until 6.5 and then knock out everything in one go
Wait for .5, this one ended up also being just an in-between step.
I paused after finishing endwalker and my entire inventory is filled with items and gear and I have literally no idea how to play most of the classes I maxed anyway. Will I regret when I simply sell all of my items and gear (except the class I plan to play) to start over clean? Fuck hoarding items and fuck micromanaging all that shit, I rather just purge everything and focus on one class to get back into the game with a clean inventory.
>gear (except the class I plan to play)
yes, yes you will regret this
6.4 MSQ and Pandaemonium story were mid. Bring back the fujostacy writer.
They already have a fujostacy glam designer whore
I think that's enough...
MORE IVALICE
It's so hamfisted, "that's a story for another day :)" tier.
Tbh I think the bigger hint is Erenville saying he's going back to his home directly in MSQ. But there might be more crumbs.
the fact ivalice is canon puts a noticeable dent in my enjoyment of the story
skill issue
yeah the writer responsible for that dogshit should be fired
very likely that next expansion is going to have a raid tier based on ivalice stuff at this point
Why don't they just make the trials and alliance raids canon at this point? Look what they managed to do with the Crystal Tower. It would open up a lot more opportunities to tell new stories using old elements if they could use all of the optional storylines and not risk confusing players who haven't done it (like they initially did before they made CT required for MSQ progression).
They always were canon lmao. Bahamut and phoenix, Omega is referenced a bunch, Pandamoneum is mentioned in the latest msq, void ark came up in the msq with all the void bullshit going on etc.
The only raid that I doubt will see any more use lorewise would be the nier ones obviously.
Canon was the wrong word. I meant required. Like force people to do them before they can move on with the msq so they can use elements from them for the msq itself and reference them without confusing people who skip them/don't know they exist.
What the fuck is "enrich your island experience"?
>Zodiark trancer: The Ancients had a society of peace, harmony and tranquility unlike those unsundered apes--
yeah she and Hermes can go fuck off
Amazed the original world didn't fall apart within years of creation if there were demigods with actual selfish and destructive intent. Them being mostly neutral hippies was the only way that made sense unless there's a wetworks team cleaning up the bad ones constantly.
>unless there's a wetworks team cleaning up the bad ones constantly.
Who says there wasn't? I'm betting half the shit Azem did was clean up after idiots creating retarded shit.
>The music in the island cave
Will Zero survive or willshe end up a Moenbryda?
Pand's final fight music was fucking amazing holy shit
I don't get it.
Couldn't we always do that?
It's easier to do that now.
You did build it already, right?
Dude, I'm still rank 10. I got catching up to do.
Yes but im gonna keep the ground grass so I can make a forest, rivers, etc.
I liked the part where Zero was lusting for some Stinny dick
And also that they made this old art canon
Sorry anon, but she belongs to Jullus and his buuz
A-Athena sexo
i can fix her bros
No one can fix her.
>alternate universe where the Ascians win, but Lahabrea's ex comes back and destroys the world anyway
>Emet-Selch rubbing his brow as reality is unmade around them because Lahabrea managed to let him down one last time
>tell your wife she can't be a god
>she decides to bomb the afterlife and destroy the world
Lahabrea had worse marital problems than most.
Don't forget
>build a prison specifically to keep her autism contained
>have to rip your soul in half to deal with your marriage
>still wind up killing your wife anyway
>Hell bird
>Evil bitch
My opinion about Emet's governmnent keep getting lower by the second.
The more content we get of the original worlds villains, the more it undercuts the idea that the old world was a paradise where trillions now must die to bring it back. What a bunch of goons. At least now the megalomaniacal freaks are easier to kill than Ascians.
>she kept Themis as her boytoy and wanted to do the same with her son
BROS
>Starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead
P U T A
You know, we still haven't see Lahabreah's true form despite an entire raid dedicated to him.
I just... I just DON'T care about garlemald. fucking kill em all, why bother with their bullshit.
It wasn't supposed to be like this. We were supposed to fight them at their full strength, not deal with the fallout.
Highlanderbros...... wheres our eyebrow option????
Added in 7.0 with other new customization.
next expansion but its tied to 1 face so please fanta
I have a very light blonde haircolor so the lack of eyebrows isn't even very noticeable.
I play thighlander so I guess its just a male problem
Rowena you goy little shit!
So you are telling me we defeated Zodiark at half his full power, but now we shit our pants at Zeromus, who is 1/14th of Zodiark at best? Makes no sense that we had to run away at the end.
Fanadiel was basically suiciding Zodiark by us.
I mean, in 6.5 we'll just walk over there and kill it
Because that power is being channeled through a Great Wyrm, which amplifies it immensely
>Because that power is being channeled through a Great Wyrm, which amplifies it immensely
Can you back that up?
Well considering even non TRANCE'D Great Wyrms are enough to give us trouble one hopped up on Zodiark juice would have to be a decent sized problem
Fandaniel wasn't trying and killed Zodiark via suicide.
we shat our pants because even if we somehow BTFO Zeromus, we will be turned into voidsent, you fucking speedreader.
Is it true I can get savage gear without doing savage? If so, how?
You can get crafted gear, which is close enough
Normal mode drops undyeavle versions of the same gear models but otherwise no
Augmented tombstone gear is the same ilvl
Yeah but you can't get that either without Savage until 6.5
>Yoshida confirmed that CC series rewards will never return
>missed out on Archfiend armor forever
It's over.
>if you're tired of the game then unsub and play something else
>also here's some fomo better stay subbed to get it
What a gay
Source. That moron literally lied to our face regarding them returning for crystals if true.
Seeing Athena's design in P12, I wish the weapon designs had leaned more towards that instead of crystals.
Pros I can't wait for all the Athena porn.
Hopefully in her goddess form
Yes.
So which game was this tier referencing?
Looks unique, I think.
none specifically
She's modeled after Tactics Ultima, as are the minions, but isn't a direct reference. Really surprised she wasn't Empress Mateus is something.
The phase 2 music is a remix of Ultima's Perfection so it's a little more direct then
FF14
An argument could be made that she's a reference to heaven emperor in the ff2 gba version.
>Face instead of a mask
Thanks I hate it.
>has no boobs or toed feet
coom bros we lost
so Ryne is definitely coming back next patch
You mean Runar
I'd imagine so but it might just be us visiting since Yshtola clarifies that the method they used only works for the 13th at the moment
>The WoL literally can't stop thinking about Zenos
They truly were besties
>WoL canonically misses Zenos
Anti-Zenosfags on suicide watch
who wouldn't miss their enemy-friend?
>camera pans to the stars
>"aww, who's he thinking o- OH FUCK"
>pic related shows up
I wonder if they're ACTUALLY going to bring him back one day
I saw this coming the second we left his fully intact corpse floating in a void.
I can't imagine they'll bring him back; YoshiP said himself that he's deader than dead. It's just going to be Harchefault levels of REMEMBER THIS GUY flashbacks.
>started thinking about my frenemy instantly after the handshake dialogue
>this happens
Now that's immersion
I already guarantee this clip will generate some drama. Theres some people out there who despise Zenos.
>wtf Yoshida, you made our character think of a genocidal maniac as a friend?
OC donut steals forever seething. Meteor is a distinct character
>3 mil for a crafted chest piece
lol
lma
Just wait til tomorrow and it will be sub 1m.
Just wait a few days and it'll be like 100/200k
So.. all we learned about ARR Lahabrea in Pandaemonium is that he was basically just Elidibus' lapdog with no agency of his own.
sooooooource
I mean, we knew that more or less in ARR.
Yes, that's what makes it disappointing
Its kinda ridiculous that we're still learning about Ascians post EW msq
SOURCE NOW
would be better with a blue ribbon and earring on the other ear
>best trial
>best raid

I apologize for calling you a jobber all those years ago, Elidichadus.

>audio cuts out after 15 minutes of play
How the fuck do I fix this? Restarting the game doesn't fix this.
It's an issue affecting w*ndows users, it was acknowledged almost immediately after patch went up. Prepare for maintenance tonight.
God damn it.

>Aye, absolutely fine.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK DID HE MEAN BY THIS
I THOUGHT HIS BARD DAYS WERE OVER
So if High Seraph Ultima existed on Etherys before the sundering and gave the Heart of Sabik to Athena.. does that mean she was sundered as well? Does every shard have their own High Seraph that produces Auracite?
Not necessarily. The implication is only that the auracite was discovered in ancient times, not that contact was made. Could've been a meteorite, but the fact the Ultima made her way to Ethyris despite existing since ancient times, or are least her race doing so, is pretty interesting.
Themis fight was the best one but it was a copy and pasted E11
At the end I guess it was not possible to salvage ARR Lahabrea, even after all that it still doesn't feel that Panda Laha and ARR Laha is the same person.
That was a let down for me but I did like WOL giving him fuck off looks at every opportunity.
I worry about Thancred, bros
I trust him
They wont put my husband on the bench r-right bros?
Ngl the fact he's been appearing so little and learning that he was the least popular Scion in the polls does slightly worry me. But he's the one that mentioned the expedition, so he'll be fine, right?
I figured he was appearing so little lately due to the fact that he was HUGE in shadowbringers. Let the other Scions get a bit of the spotlight.
>Least popular
Fuck, thancred bros it's over
His story was finished with Ryne. His love interest is dead and gone. His ability to use aether is gone. They've tapped him out for story purposes, they should have just let Meteion kill him at the end of Endwalker like initially teased.
I actually enjoy dad mode Thancred
fucking hilarious how he showed up to tank and that's IT
Urianger's autism made him think that thancred had some special talent for social situations that he could pass on to Zero
>fucking hilarious how he showed up to tank and that's IT
Trust was a fucking mistake
say what?
I don't get why they couldn't just give us random NPCs instead of the scions so they wouldn't have to force them into the story just to take part in dungeons.
Because they didn't think ahead
>tank and that's IT
I don't really get why though since Vtra's been doing that
The same reason why they pulled estinien in underwear flexing and sweating
Estinien didn’t even show up for the dungeon though. In fact… did anything happen in that cutscene at all or did we show up to his room to say “hey bro we’re gonna go do some plot stuff brb”
>His love interest is dead and gone
He got a codex entry this patch and it confirmed he saw og minfillia as his daughter even if that does make him a pretty deadbeat dad
he basically admits that at one point himself
His "love interest" was F'lhammin you dipshits.
Only me and you in this thread played 1.0 Ul'dah story bro.
In ARR he dropped a huge poem about how lovely she is (though it did get replaced in 5.3 for an insinuation that Y'shtola likes WoL, but that does tell how new the people who think Thancred wanted to fuck Minfilia are) and when she arrived at the Rising Stones in the post patches he talked about maybe convincing her to fuck (didn't work, because by that point F'lhammin already knows Thancred isn't really family man material).
He was trying to take every woman to bed in ARR if you hang arround the walking sands you can see two women confront him about two timing them at one point
Yeah, but F'lhammin is the only one he actually wanted around. Then she arrived at the same time as he was trying to woo that one doman girl that accompanied Yugiri and ate shit with both.
It's probably just as a way to say "We haven't forgotten this character". It's not like having one-off npcs join for a Trust is anything new.
> but that does tell how new the people who think Thancred wanted to fuck Minfilia are
Even if you’re new, the fact that the name he gave her is literally “my daughter” in Latin should be a big hint how he sees her
isn't her real name actually "Ascilia"?
>Least popular Scion
Actually amazing. Somehow the coolest scion that has probably gone through the most development (aside from Alphinaud) is less popular than boring shitters like the twins and Y'shtola. The solution would probably be to have him start simping for the self-insert main character. Works wonders if Alisaie and Graha are any indication.
His scenes felt kind of weird it's not like they needed him to tank since Vtra's been doing that, I'm just taking it as them wanting to introduce all the scions to Zero (other than graha since he's busy doing alliance stuff)
My cope is they wouldn't shy out of killing him in EW just to get rid of him so soon after
I'll unsub if he dies
Did Estinien being shirtless advance the plot?
I'm sure it expanded the WoL x Estenien tag on AO3 already
It made the fujos and gays squeal, which I imagine is the point.
>Were gonna bring our best friend back
Absolute kino.
Man, now I'm thirsty for an egg cream.
I wouldn't put it past them, but that would be so unbelievably corny. XIV's story trajectory really is nonstop growing pains. ARR and Stormblood didn't utilize NPCs well, and then SB and EW figured out people like hanging with their NPC bros but now they're immortal so long as they're popular enough.
I can't see them bringing Zenos back literally as he was. He'd be a liability in more ways than one and Wol's not going to just resurrect a guy because "wow he's just like me!" and then let him wander off. Kick him into the aetherial sea so he can have a chance at a happer reincarnation, maybe.
Zenos probably floated back there anyways since Nidhogg floated off to the Dragonstar when he was permanently killed.
????????
CURRY BUFF
CURRY BUFF
You get different dialogue if you manage to get to the next cutscene with it
Fuck, I blew it then.
(It doesn't actually I just enjoy spreading lies)
You clever little minx. I'm gonna give you a kiss.
I took it MILD.
Does the number change depending on which Hispanice you added?
It actually does change depending on whether your curry was hot or mild.
Yorokobe, hikari no senshi
>Iceheart outfit in files

Remember when 6.x patches were supposed to be the start of the new adventure? It's more of the same
we are currently mid-adventure in the void
6.5 will have the start of the next "arc"
6.1 was the start of the next arc, as per their advertising. Unfortunately it's been filler.
"Per their advertising" was 6.1-6.5 are gonna be filler and 7.0 is gonna be a new arc.
No, they very clearly stated 6.0 ended in 6.0 and the next story began in 6.1, which they've done nothing but give us filler patches without any actual direction.
So then what I said happened is happening and you're mad about it.
What you said is completely wrong, so wrong in fact I'm amazed you function in normal day to day life.
>bros why is 6.1 to 6.4 all just filler! they said there'd be a new arc! fukkin shitty new arc reeeeeeee
I'm gonna come out and say it guys, FF4's boss music kinda sucks
The only good ones were barbara and average boss music and soken is a lazy hack without cancer anyways
So the Themis we see in present day in panda is the actual one who died to become Zodiark's heart whereas the one we kill and who doesn't return to the aethereal sea is the primal, have I got that right?
They're both the same entity.
How come we could meet him then? I understood it as him not returning to the aethereal sea when he sends us back to Elpis
His essence got succed into the Crystal Tower and from there he somehow has been allowed to be reborn, possibly thanks to Aethena who dragged his ass from the First's aetherpool. He's with frens now watching WoL TV.
No
Not remembering is kind of his thing
Big Question: Is there any explanation for why ARR-Lahabrea did not remember the WoL from Elpis? He did not lose his memories like Emet and Elidibus did.
ARR Lahabrea was retarded, I'm pretty sure that was more or less the explanation in side stories.
I don't think they specify but by the time you get to ARR Laha is a fucking nutter, he's even further gone than Elidabus
ARR laha probably intentionally sundered himself to get his work done faster and loads of the black masks we killed were just him in random corpses
I'm pretty sure their answer as to how the unsundered managed to avoid it was "uh yeah don't worry about it" so any headcanon you make up is probably fine.
iirc there's an explanation in that nier gacha
I think most of the original convocation just got their shit smashed in by Venat while she was ganking Zodiark and she sundered them along with the body and the life stream, that or they died in the 12000 years between and their souls got put through a sundered lifestream grater
Why was OG Golbez voiceless? Are they trying to imply its Azem's shard?
>Called the only true hero across the whole shard
>Intentionally hide their face and voice
Almost certainly yes.
>Athena is just Yui Ikari
>Asphodelos was Castlevania
>Abyssos was Resident Evil
>Anabaseios was Bayonetta
>Asphodelos was classic horror
>Abyssos was body horror
>Anabaseios was ????
what is it?
Lovecraft horror. And elidibus.
Parental horror.
the new tomestone fending set is actually pretty fucking cool
It's nice for Golbez to patiently wait for us to summon our allies
Why the fuck are we still dealing with Garlean bullshit, just leave them rot
>New Savage mount is the fucking Axolotl
>BLU chads get fucking E10 as a mount for doing the Omega and Eden raids
It's not fucking fair.
>Titan Kart still MIA
Shadowkeeper is cool, but come on.
its kinda fucking retarded
mounts like that are usually reserved for side content
they couldn't make anything new so they just scaled up a minion and called it a day
I thought the mount was going to be Pandaemonium but this was honestly so fucking bad, at least it's not another phoenix.
Asphodelos mount remains the best one.
>E10
You mean the brown elezen girl from the 13th? What the fuck?!
dog form
DOG FORM
you just know
Her monster form, anon.
Finally, I can mount Cyella.
the real blackpill that people refuse to take is that Shadowbringers devs and co. aren't coming back to work on FFXIV from XVI after it releases
the quality you get now is the quality you're gonna get in 7.0+
forget about a good MMO until FFXVII which will be like 6 years from now on
>Shadowbringers devs
lol
lmao
Shadowbringers was already made by the newer staff, all the key people who made XIV what it was left after shipping Stormblood.
Anon the people who left 14 to work on 16 did so during Heavensward, roughly 7 years ago.
Maybe the key devs, but i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of staff was moved in recent years especially when business division 3 was created.
Other way around, people aren't leaving but rather returning, potentially. It won't help if the budget stays like this so it is what it is.
>which will be like 6 years from now on
more like 12
Anon the shb/ew writer probably got drafted for XVII already
I'm sure that the XVI engine will basically be used to template HD FF games (if not also remakes) for a few years the same way Capcom suddenly sprang back from irrelevance once they realized they could just make anything in the newest iteration of the RE engine
good, XIV is running on a 21 year old engine, game plays archaic and SE doesn't give a fuck even though its their main money maker
fuck that game and fuck SE tbh
>Next expansion's story is shaping up to be complete dogshit
Better fucking make the content worthwhile like Stormblood or it's genuinely gonna make 14 get a massive drop of players.
I don't like how Golbez is basically just Warrior of Darkness from Heavensward 2.0
They're pretty different other than their saving their shard thing.
Yeah, Golbez is more confident than Ardbert in what he is doing, but that's pretty much it
i would be confident if all the bullshit im pulling works as throwing a corrupted dragon to rotador juice make a cloud of baldness and darkness
What the fug
Gotta make sure the game is as tardproof as possible. Still won't help.
Its so fucking stupid. Positioning was one of the few things you still had to give a shit about as a healer and then they pull this.
Asylum is fucking massive now, I thought I was zoomed in or something when I first used it
7.0 will remove effect radius, buffs and heals will apply to everyone, also they will remove positionals. In 7.01 when new raid comes out all boss markers will be gone and bosses will be attackable from anywhere in the arena.
>Le slope man
But yes, they should remove positionals.
They're removing any kind of skill expression. It still won't fix the shitter problem; there is no force strong enough in the universe to make shitters actually press their buttons.
Anyone put me a link video or stream full of shitdemonium of 6.4 with cutscenes ?
no
play it
If you dislike it why watch the cutscenes?
i want to see the stupid end
So Golbez is Cecil? Or Cecil was Golbez?
Cecil doesnt exist as rydia in this crappy patch story
the real golbez was Cecil, this golbez is Kain
ah yes i remember cecil as an alamoron blonde
Cecil was the guy in the armor who died and might have been the 13th's Azem shard.
What was the shit with the gleaner? Are they trying to make him relevant?
afaik there was also a short story that implied something
he's probably coming with us to wherever the next expansion takes place
They are. He apparently is popular, so he's definitely showing up later.
>ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO dungeon ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO obstinate garlemorons ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO finally some cool shit with Chadbez ZERO ZERO y'shtola has to read books for another 6 months
When will the Zero livejournal saga finally end?
Tbh I was hoping Golbez had a little more flair, I wasn't expecting Zeromus to show up on phase two or anything, but I was left somewhat underwhelmed.
Elidibus (Extreme) was good, can Elidibus (Savage) be a good fight as well and be the first (and last) third fight this expansion that isn't total dogshit?
>gatherer cope set with materia viii melds hits >3850 perception
do i need more???
No
Not unless there's some meme shit gathering sets haven't mattered for ages
Trusts were a mistake
Soken can create as many renditions of 'Neath Dark Waters as he wants. Amaurot was the best part of ShB.
This cat is cool, smart and brave. I wish to marry her eventually.
Can't wait for her to "die" yet again in 7.0
Genuinely if there's another Yshtola death scene, even if they actually commit to it this time I won't be phased because they've subverted it to the point where I don't believe they'd ever actually do it. It's not an interesting plot contrivance anymore, she's unkillable.
>removing the only character that actively forwards the plot
I doubt it.
>Her and Estinien are the only ones making this story at least somewhat bearable.
>Their roles for two whole patches have just been "Go away every time something's going to actually happen" and "Go away at the end of the patch to singlehandedly find a solution".
At least I got to see the dynamic duo this patch, but it's not like Thancred stuck around for long. And the twins are fucking stuck with the garleans which is the most boring and infuriating story they've ever been involved in.
Why did they make Zero the new main character of the story? I like my lalafell and I don't want to be second banana to some voidmoron.
Zero is going to replace the Scions in the next expansion. Have fun
deal with it potatofag
Stfu you glory hog.
No Fordola, but whatever.

Very close
>Lyse doesn't get constantly harassed and undressed by other characters whenever she's on screen
This would improve her character.
Yeah, a dumb bimbo like Lyse needs to get stripped all the time

>tfw holding onto every event specific outdoor furniture item is now paying off
ITS TIMe
Normal Golbez was fun but felt like it had a couple of half baked mechanics like the stone drop that never overlaps with anything and the braindead exaflares.
Same for P9-12 ngl. I enjoyed Aglaia's mechs much more.
Im expecting savage to be as lazy as abyssos or even worse but i hope im wrong.
So the heart of Sabik really was from High Seraph, or at least, from the same place.
Azdaja's voice was kinda sexy tho
Tricking zero into sex
>mmmh we did not a contract but a cumtract? what is that?
This.
Same energy
This is the only moment in 6.4 where I kinda liked Zero
So when will she ask "what is love"?
>WoL looks to the sky with sadness again
BABY DON'T HURT ME
that's abuse.
What if orgasms replenish aether so she’s cool with it
a deal is a deal
yes
M A N A TRANSFER
>post 6.0 story
Is garage.
Not even worth watching on youtube
An abridged version would be worth watching. The pace they actually went with was fucking horrendous. This plotline did not deserve all post expansion patches.
Done with the MSQ, tataru and raid quests.
Raid storyline = best in game.
tataru questline was good, but I expect to see tataru. Loved gaius. tas simple
msq = good. Some pacing issue, but not anything new.
8/10, 10/10 if 6.5 is kino as fuck.
I think 12th raid was a bit underwhelming. In terms of mechanics at least
Remember when yoshida said even the normal version might be too hard in the live letter?
It's certainly busy, but me with the pugs wiped more on p10.
Remember when he said “if you think healing is boring you should do ultimate” and then people did the new ultimate without any healers
>people
One group and it took 50 attempts, Still worthy of praise but you are exaggerating now
I think first and second were harder than third and fourth. Or at least more intuitive since I didn't die
>more
I meant to say, less intuitive since I died only on first and second, but did fine on third and fourth
My groups wiped on 10 and 12. Tbh I found 12 to be much harder than 4 or 8 normal wise.
How are you supposed to resolve the web tethers in 10 anyway? You havve to get away from the source but also can't get too close to others or you'll tether each others. Had troubles spreading perfectly
Im pretty sure the poles in the arena also tether, my guess is that non-marked people should stand near the poles to give the marked people more space
Pretty much that. Away from source and others.
Why the fuck did our character flashback to Zenos when Jullus and Zero were talking about trust?
He's gonna be in Trust system, trust the plan.
They were talking about the meaning of "friend" and Zenos was all about that shit.
Remember the scene where he went back to Ala Mhigo to think about what Alisaie said to him? This was basically an addendum to that.
The only time we ever had a reason to trust Zenos was him helping us with the Endsinger. Otherwise, lol.
Yeah it feels a bit incongruous for WoL to be so affected by Zenos. I genuinely never got that read from the two characters. Certainly not in SB, and even if they tried to make it a thing in EW it was like ok thanks for helping me save the universe, I'll give you the fight you've been jonesing for then I'm done with you forever.
Zenos is the only character who understood our Azemtism, he's unironically the WoL best friend.
Considering in 6.2 they gave the player the option to say a cutting "No" at Zero asking if Zenos was our friend, I'm wierded out that now they show him there.
When's 6.45?
welp, time to catch up on 4 threads of bullshit lmao
>6.4
>bring the new girl to a topless man and watch her get wet
>introduce Chadcred to new girl
>suggest how she should show """trust""" to Jullus
What is this cuckoldry
She also went "training" with him at the end.
Check them out at the guards' camp, they're legit training along with other soldiers and Estinien encourages you to join kek.
That's friendship bro
they literally tell her every time how great you are

>Hey, Zero's slightly more bearable now that she's not going on about payments and what's a friend and...
>Goes right back at it as soon as the actual action starts.
Did any of you notice they changed the brands that were used to seal Zodiark?
Before they were broken randomly; now they look more "disassembled"
>Zeromus is summoned
>comes to the Source
>we fight it
>it can't be permanently killed because reasons
>have to seal it where Zodiark was sealed forever
Watcher just cleaned up a bit around his home.
Never had curry before. How's it like.
Imagine hot rice with wet bits in it
Neat. Also goddamn Zero what the actual fugg you can't just eat Hispanicy shit like that all the time. Reminds me of our first foray into Ahm Araeng.
She's gonna shit bricks if she survives 6.5. And we were told to bring her fucking apples the first time.
I like how everything involved with that blue bird is kind of thrown to the wayside.
Get her a fuck ton of fiber.
The jap style sounds great. Love me some thick stew.
Depending on where you live, it's pretty simple to find a good Indian/Japanese/Thai restaurant that'll make it well.
It's literally just a sauce, how it tastes depends on what you made it with.
Very stinky.
Indian style curry is usually a bit thinner, but fragrant. Kind of like a Hispanicy stew. Japanese style curry is more like a gravy, and is usually thicker and more savory regardless of Hispanice level.
Either way its delicious.
Its great with rice

Is there any other content thats fun? Like, is there any point to level gatherer/crafting classes? Or is it at least more fun? How about that weird ass island content they added recently? I kinda feel like playing but cant get into the mood to jump back into the dungeon/raid threadmill shit.
There's Eureka and Bozja, they're a microcosm of REAL MMO gameplay and both well worth doing.
Everything else is set dressing for "savage raiding" which is basically just glorified Simon Says. Dungeons are not meant to be hard, exciting, or anything at all really. You do them once and move on.
The crafting classes only exist to create gear for raiders before they're able to accumulate enough gear from the raids themselves. There are other trinkets, distractions, but nothing of actual value.
The island is a skinnerbox with no real customization or anything. You can catch a few animals which drop the same shit, you can choose which 3 of 5 buildings you would like on your island. That is all.
Athena did nothing wrong.
Shut up, Athena. You're dead.
She couldn't even get her own son to fulfill her wishes what are you talking aboot.
She did everything wrong, but that's what makes her hot.
