Why haven't they brought back this piece for Endwaker? It gives off a hopeful tone while being quite possibly the best version of Prelude in all of FF.
FF6 prelude is a close second btw.

Is this in the game files? I want to set it as my title screen music.
It isn't, the free trial music is close but it goes away after you buy the game so.
You can change the opening screen at any point in the game. Actually, I think I will change mine to SB or ShB. The endwalker main menu theme fricking sucks.
It resets when you launch the game, unless you use the titleedit plugin
Not a problem, there's a plugin for that.
Where. Is. The. DATAMINE!
Tonight like 30 min after you can download the patch
I'm curious as to when they start applying their server-side file system to more than just monster models. Game already sends a hash to the server in the main menu, so having it fetch fragments there as well to make the client sheets usable wouldn't be too much work for them.
who cares?
I want to see Zeromus weapons and listen to great rendition of it from the PLL.
>game isn't even up and hector already ruined pf
this is not how you tank thordan at the wall
Luckily I will not be doing Thordan in PF and will be doing it with my Static full of people who actually played back in 3.1
How do you do it then? Sideways?
yes it's easier for the gaze mechanics
there are a million guides from back in hw but i guess hector just wanted to shoot his load over pf so the endwalker sperms would know how to do it and force you to do it that way
Yeah, The MT can't dodge the gaze if he tanks Thordan straight in front of the Eye.
Can't the tank just look to the left or right
Or is the extreme Eye a line of sight like superflash
you can but it's prone to jank, hence why you tank it sideways it's easier to press s or turn around than to turn 90 degrees
But I'm playing legacy, I can just as easily press A or D
it's still prone to jank trust me
what about the rest of the party? if the melee and ot are on the rear they'll have an easier time turning 90 degrees from tanking it sideways instead of 180 which if you're not tanking it sideways then they have to turn 180 for both flank and rear
If they are on the rear, then in front of them is thordan AND the eye so they have 270 degrees of safety
You don't need to be looking 180 degrees away from a gaze to avoid it
Gazes can be really janky, but from my experience you can be facing perpendicular to the direction of the gaze and be fine. What can really get you in trouble is if you have the "auto-face the boss when you use a skill" option enabled.
But what about controller players like me?
Then you're playing EZ mode because you can easily change your facing independent of your movement direction.
But I can't attack at the same time like Legacy players that mash A and D.
Suffer b***h
I'm on controller too, I just put A and D so I wouldn't get >console'd
>console
Not him I use a controller on PC
What a dumb homosexual
Umm I watched Mizzteq's guide and she tells you to tank him like that too, I think you're just wrong.
Still waiting for a real reason for tanking sideways beside "it's jank"
this is the way we did it back in HW
no, you could do it for dives phase but not for the rest
something something about it being easier to move around the edge of the arena than to just go across then reposition the boss to be sideways
the regular in game version is better
Which one? There's several variants of prelude you know...
the one that plays during character creation
Nah, sounds muffled and the part where the tempo picks up sucks and is unnecessary.
Honestly it bothers me how up its own ass the soundtrack's become with leitmotifs spammed everywhere in the expansions now. It's tiring hearing it sometimes. Reusing FF4's music for the 6.x patches isn't really fun for me either besides the Rubicante mix. It's like they want to both abandon legacy and yet suck legacy wiener nonstop for the franchise and can't make up their minds.
Cope. Soken is the greatest game composer of all time.
He's good but he's not the greatest.
Unironically post some good music from other games

Cringe but good ost
In a cruel twist of fate even the worst game the company has ever made, FF15, has one hell of an OST. Most of it done by Shimomura(Kingdom Hearts) and even the DLC bringing in other Square Enix guest composers so you end up with some wild shit like
FF15 has like 5 good tracks and the rest is forgettable.
>Bro XV's music is so good here's the one piece that's probably got the most covers in the whole franchise
Granted I've never played through XV and my sole experience with its music has been what pieces they have in theatrhythm, but outside of what I assume is the main theme of the game everything else was painfully forgettable and generic
Mizuta put some real mood pieces into the XV DLC. I still want him to do some guest contributions to XIV for zone music. It was a travesty they didn't have him at the fricking least rearrange his own music that got recycled in XIV (Reisenjima's theme, and everything Eureka borrowed).
Hopefully he'll get to work on SoP2 soon
It's actually criminal that they don't have him on XIV, no one sets the mood like he does. Soken does great battle themes and whatnot but he's honestly not that great at zone BGM.
No setting is too tough, he nails it every time.
Mizuta knows to keep instrument count low and rely on the main melody. Partly due to PS2limitations, but also due to that's what the rules the other main composers for XI's launch wanted to abide by to set the tone.
His final pieces for XI were pretty good as well, although the latter piece here breaks a few 'rules' of how XI music should sound, similar to the Omen theme.
>Hey this is the final boss of the entire MMO, 15 years in the making, the true end to the story
>What kind of music should we have, something powerful, pump people up?
>No, no let's make them cry
I actually don't know who composed this one but it absolutely fricking kills me.
Still Mizuta. Everything in XI from Promathia onwards was handled by him and only him. The guy considered it his career commitment while helping with other projects on the side.
Shame I can't find a clean upload of the XI Chaos fight theme, which was his final contribution to it.
I forgot in all of XV's heinous atrocities they also made gilgamesh an ow the edge character that is nothing like gilgamesh
that music's also...ok I guess
Painfully generic chanting shit
Sounds like a Souls boss tune
FFXVI was really fricking weak. The best theme made for the game isn't even in the fricking game itself. Also every other track is just a partial of the prelude theme.
>FFXVI was really fricking weak.
that's horseshit
pretty much every combat theme is good and that's 99% of what people talk about, area themes are much less regularly remembered unless it's something like cosmo canyon
they do tend to overuse prelude and prologue in xvi but I don't think that's the gravest sin
also cid's theme was good
I don't really expect anything to top uematsu but they could have done much worse than soken, like whoever did xv or like 90% of xiii that wasn't blinded by light

Hacken can't do shit except meme jingles
>2.0/3.0/4.0, players keep asking for Unspoken
>5.0 comes, Unspoken is in 90% of the fricking cutscenes
>tfw they stuck the best song from 1.0 solely into BLU garbage
I will never forgive this.
what are you talking about
oh good point forgot that existed
it is a nice theme
Good theme until you realize you got to hear that 35s intro for every single monster you engaged in the Limsa region in 1.0.
Pretty sure the music would fade back in where it left off if you hit another monster.
It had to be within 3 seconds, and mobs were sparsely populated for most of the game's life.
tfw I just automatically associate that track with FFXIII-2
Since uematsu is retired(?) and just doing club remixes during his nights soken is likely going to be the "main" guy from now on if they want to push a "main" guy.
4's music in general is just really good and the whole expansion is real 4-focused. It is a little bit weird that we're now just fighting random filler bosses from 4 to keep up Battle II but I'm not really complaining, it's one of my favorite themes in the franchise and I was waiting for it since I heard Battle on accident in the bunny base.
also yea the hyadin version of the 4 fiends theme was kino
Leitfmotiffs are fine if it’s good, and Soken does it well.
>But I here dis b4
Music can actually be kino. Try having an intellect, Black person.
Most people who complain about leitmotifs in xiv don't realize uematsu was guilty of the same shit
IX and X especially where he let hamauzu do almost everything except make 40 variations of zanarkand and seymour&jecht's battle themes
>Most people who complain about leitmotifs in xiv don't realize uematsu was guilty of the same shit
when did leitmotifs become something to be "guilty" about
where did this weird trend of contrarianism come from
leitmotifs are very regularly the most popular aspects of a song because it's cool thing from other part of the game with new cool thing
Here's the thing: yes FF14 isn't terrible about it, and Soken does great compositions. But I am damn tired of going to Old Sharlayan and hearing Flow town mix every single day I go back there. Endwalker theme is everywhere, Answers is leitmotif'd, Flow is everywhere, I actually appreciate how the raids are almost entirely their own shit besides Themis putting on an Amaurot remix.
Ok I’ll admit I kinda rolled my eyes when I heard the Aetherfont theme
The problem is he overuses them as a hard crutch. He's good at bringing some variety to those crutches, but really I'd prefer it if the next expansion had zero leitmotif going on.
You've only heard FF4 music for the 6.x patches over the course of the entire game. You'll never hear it again after the Primal fight.
What? You wanted hear normal ass boss music when fighting The Four Lords?
There's actually a pretty good point of comparison here where in Heavensward they also had a trial series based on a group of iconic bosses in an old SNES FF game which shared one battle theme, except back then they'd actually shift into a banger original song unlike anything else you'd heard in the game up to that point for the second phase which gave them way more character and personality than just having a variation of the same SNES track three times.
I was expecting some babymetal shit for Barbariccia and was pretty sad when it ended up not changing at all.
Feels like overall the game's been kinda moving past changing songs mid fight unless it's a REALLY big moment.

DARKNESS
when exactly in the EW MSQ would you have put the prelude in? because the song is exactly that, a prelude.
also, does anyone have the math on the potency buffs? can i be a red mage again?
it's a 1% dps increase for rdm
RDMxisters....
hey at least you aren't drk
>war lite with more ogcds
>only excels at dps when there are a lot of buffs in the party and even then you need to get lucky with crits
>now worse than pld
You'll never guess what other class I paly
i play it too i really like it aesthetically and despite its "flaws" i love it and now i like it even more thanks to skillswap
but yes i wish it was more fun to play i feel guilty playing gnb and enjoying it a lot more than drk
did they nerf DRK?
nope they buffed pld by like 140 potency in its rotation
140 potency is no joke
No, more like they buffed every tank over the course of the expansion except for DRK.
Honestly DRK feels like the absolute worse tank almost entirely because it feels like it isn't designed to be a tank. People say WAR and GNB are more selfish, but WAR is literally designed to survive as hard as possible, and GNB has a number of personal and party buff capabilities that are ridiculously useful. DRK has some magic damage and single target mits and otherwise has the weakest damage mitigation of the entire bunch. It feels like they wanted to make a DPS class and then slapped some basic shit on top so you have a jack of both trades but not good at either.
well that wasn't entirely the case before, they've taken away from drk's kit instead of giving it more
as for the class itself, it was a dps in ff11 but in hw and shb it was probably the best tank all around, specially because so many things did magic autos
as a drk you have the best magic mitigation in the game but it's fight dependant
i do think gnb has more options and is more fun to play but i think drk needs a complete rework now, it really is warrior-lite and has basically been shit the entire tier except for speedkills
Why does it feels like a ton of HW decisions and additions are the shit they've gone back and skullfricked the most?
i think it's more a case of the reception towards shb war and whm were so good that they decided to turn all the jobs that were similar into those specific jobs
if we look at drk it was changed to be more like shb war and every other tank also got their mits removed and made to be like war
it's like they made some basic guidelines based on war to make every other tank have something similar to its kit, vengeance has always been good so now everyone gets the 30% mit, we removed crits so no need for awareness and instead everyone gets something a job specific 10%-20% mit because war cannot lose its thrill of battle
if you ever wondered why gnb is so fun is because it was introduced as a job after these changes were decided and if you think pld is fun then it's probably because of the same reason since it got reworked
the only one that has suffered the most because of these decisions is drk
Because HW job design decisions made the performance gap between bad, average, competent, good (and beyond) players too high, but in exchange they were probably the most fun variations of at least half the jobs that existed then.
>they were probably the most fun variations of at least half the jobs that existed then.
they were also completely unplayable garbage for the other half
I didn't know Monk and Paladin were considered half the jobs.
dark knight has been ruined since its very inception because they made the braindead decision to make it a tank
since it has no job identity (that they'll give it outside of pvp, anyway) it's just paladin but edgy,
DRK is basically the same as it ever was except the other tanks got powercrept such that drk's appeal (best in role dps) is gone. the the job has always been very slightly more annoying to tank on (since you have to hit a bunch of buttons to mit TBs compared to other jobs) but made up for it by having the best damage, except now his numbers are small so the incentive isn't there
I really hope they buff/change Oblation for 7.0. It pales in comparison to Heart of Corundum, Nascent Flash and Divine Veil
>10% damage mitigation
>but you get two charges so it's balanced :^)
>used to require guesswork to make dark mind work
DRK mitigation fricking sucks.
I figure I'll get shit on for saying this but as long as DRK has TBN It's never going to get better.
nah you're right, tbn has become the job's identity in some ways, it's a shitty refund that is better used in edge of shadow once you're bis or everyone in your party is in bis
it's good for some ultimates during auto-attacks but that is only in the old ones
Probably. It's an extremely good and satisfying to use mitigation but they're relying on that single skill to carry DRK in it's entirety.
You can't say that shit about DRK without also applying it to GNB. GNB plays way more like a DPS than DRK does, APM-wise. Heart of Light and Dark Missionary are the same fricking skill with a different icon, and Aurora/Camouflage are more consistently useful than Dark Mind (which is awesome if there's magical TBs). I suppose HoC is a better short cooldown than TBN.
They both should've been DPS classes.
>DRK has some magic damage and single target mits and otherwise has the weakest damage mitigation of the entire bunch.
dark literally has the highest mitigation kitchen sink of any tank and dark mind is rampart on a 60s timer so its up for literally every tank mechanic
>b-but the one physical raidwide they put out every patch
irrelevent when 9/10 mechanics are now a joke
>b-but dungeon pulls
just hit your mits and stop being bad. you get to alpha strike with all your aoe damage every wall to wall and get living dead every other wall to wall
the only actual problem with drk is that in a group with a lot of buffs they spike to an absurd level past any other tank in terms of damage, but if you're in a party with people who cant line up their 2 minutes because they're moronic or are in a whm/sge/sam/blm/mch party somehow then your damage does the opposite and falls a bit behind - which is a problem they can't actually fix because then in the parties that favor drk you're going to be blatantly ahead of the other tanks and all tank players are just blue dps who have only cared about minmaxing their classes dps since HW
>go into p11s
>dark mind is useless
nobody cares about dungeon pulls
>dark mind is useless because of a mechanic literally every party regardless of tank comp just uses invulns to ignore
you would have a point if this was still pre 6.1 but living dead is overpowered now and I just hit the button once, hit my gcd 2-3 times and the mechanic is over without me having to use any other mits for it
if you have a healbot healer that griefs you out of living dead, it doesn't matter what tank you're playing because role actions + them spamming gcd heals is enough to deal with any pull this side of bardams mettle
maybe next time try clearing week 1
>it doesn't matter what tank you're playing because role actions + them spamming gcd heals is enough to deal with any pull this side of bardams mettle
SGE/DRK can struggle in ShB/EW leveling dungeons if both of your DPS are dogshit.
>SGE/DRK can struggle in ShB/EW leveling dungeons
if they're moronic and think their job is spamming tbn and kardia repsectively
>get living dead every other wall to wall
The number of glue-eating healers who don't let me get low for LD when I warn them I'm going to be using LD is annoying. Most of them have burger king crowns, unsurprisingly.
The worst are the ones who heal me when LD procs, then they meet the healing requirement right when LD has about 2 seconds left and my invuln drops when I have like 500 HP.
Get over yourself. Min-Maxers are a plague to mmos.
not how it works any more. lol
he's saying people keep ruining the Invuln because he gets healed before he hits 1 HP, not anything about him healing to max after popping it successfully
>The worst are the ones who heal me when LD procs, then they meet the healing requirement right when LD has about 2 seconds left and my invuln drops when I have like 500 HP.
what the frick are you talking about, you activate living dead in a dungeon pull, hit unleash 1 time and heal 1500 potency per target hit so you get like 900% overhealing
The 1500 potency heal goes away when you get healed for 100% of your health, so you're supposed to wait until LD has a few seconds remaining before you Benediction yourself with an AoE weaponskill. In this case, however, the healer healed me enough that it cucked me out of my self-heal and I got fricked.
> whm/sge/sam/blm/mch
Do you know how common this comp is in reclears? Guaranteed every week
T. Blm
if you're doing reclears it literally doesn't matter what tank you're using because everyone has enough gear that the dps can be lazy shitheads that don't hit their mits and still clear no problem
what does this even mean? living dead is stronger in week 1 because the healers have to actually give a shit about their resources so the drk being able to clean up his own lifebar because he crit the lifesteal effect and healed himself 60% in one gcd is really nice. you're also able to basically hit tbn on cooldown week 1 because it breaks in 3 autos or 1 raidwide

At least Camo gives you a flat % DR to cope when you can't parry. DM gives nothing.

if you mean in p5s this is literally magic damage (the other one he follows up with that the other tank takes is phys) and if you're too shy to just say "you take the phys hit and I take the magic one" you literally just use slightly more mits then other tanks on the physical one and don't care because you have 60s dark mid + obliation for a 28% mit every 60s against magic busters on top of tbn that you will literally always have
the later two are things people just invuln and if you can't for whatever reason, again you can just have a slightly different mit plan and not actually care.
please, I beg you, stop being bad.
yeah i'm aware and its funny to stand in the mobs for 9s and not give a shit, but objectively its not worth losing the damage you're missing from standing around like a jackass to extend your invincibility unless the pull is going criminally insane vs just getting the full heal and getting back to killing things
B-B-B-BUT JUST LD THE P11S TB
>Can only LD 1 and 2 or 1 and 3
>1 and 2 happens during your 2 min bursts

>Nothing in the fight is magical damage
Guess you're fricked
>B-B-B-BUT YOUR MITS
No self-sustain outside of LD
>TBN IS SO GOOD IT'S GREAT AND IT GIVES YOU A FREE EDGE OF SHADOW
A refund isn't free
one tank invulns 2 of the dikes, the other tank invulns the third. this is what everyone was doing week 1 and is what they do now in week 500. why would it matter that the tankbuster happens during your 2 minute window if you're invulning it? you WANT to invuln during your 2 minutes because you're pressing a single button instead of having to weave tbn + obliation + at least one other button when you're already trying to double weave your burst.
>Nothing in the fight is magical damage
you mean besides every single light/dark mechanic?
>No self-sustain outside of LD
drk literally has more self-sustain then gnb because you hit souleater way more then brutal shell
stop being bad + mad
cringe moron drk hater baby googoogaga mad at people wanting drk to be fun and good in all fights
let me guess, warrior or whm player?
DRK has literally been the best overall tank for nearly 5 years, even though it's about to be relegated to the lowest DPS among tanks it still holds the best mitigation award.
DRK players are insufferable.
>DRK has literally been the best overall tank for nearly 5 years, even though it's about to be relegated to the lowest DPS among tanks
this homie still using rdps for a role that has 0 party buffs instead of c(had)dps
and drk haters are even worse, imagine being angry at people wanting jobs in the game to be better and more fun to play
counterpoint, drk is fun because hitting lots of buttons is fun and you're gay & smelly
counterpoint you only hit lots of buttons during your 2 min while hitting half the buttons during your min burst also your mom gay
yeah but thats what makes drk good because it's a tank, when its not 2 minute burst I'm still weaving/doing tank things
They are getting better to play, garbage mechanics like pets, dark arts, , TP, and RNG have been slowly but surely removed.
>>1 and 3 can happen after you had to take the tether in LoTL so you may not be able to mitigate all of it
tether is magic damage + drk is probably off tank so they have 0 excuse to not have enough mits unless they're a moron
WARs got mad that DRK had one single mit better than them, and because of TBN, the job got absolutely gutted and its kit passed around to all the other tanks like a filthy prostitute.
DRK still has the best mit.
>constantly spending a large chunk of your mp to weave dark arts before you do a gcd to do damage
=)
>constantly spending a large chunk of your mp to weave dark edge to do that same increased damage as its own additional hit
=(
same fricking class. next you're going to complain about how delirium is inner release when stormblood delirium was the exact same thing except instead of getting your free attacks up front it instead gradually gave you extra blood meter, which you used exclusively on bloodspiller just like you do now
having to double weave 10 gcds in a row in order to get my opener + required mits out is a lot more interesting then stb drk and if you're a hw drk appologist I could understand but you're also an butthole who made your party play around your classes bullshit because you had magic damage down and weren't a paladin
dark arts also applied other effects it was fun but you wouldn't know what that is
Dark Arts was fricking terrible. I'm not pushing an extra button inbetween combos.
But other classes do that.
>dark arts also applied other effects
all of those effects are just "do more damage" except for abyssal drain making you invincible in dungeon pulls like warriors do with nascent/bloodwhetting in shb/ew or are the blind effect on dark passenger which actively fricked you because it meant you weren't taking damage to proc blood price so nobody used it
just because you HAD options that weren't using your mp to do as much damage as possible doesn't mean anyone actually used it that way. you may as well start jerking off hyoton on ninja and how its a super good ability because you used it to run away from something in bozja 1 time
thats fine. i play red mage all the time regardless of how it parses in parsing training dummy bosses
The Prelude doesn't only play at the beginning of a FF game you dumb secondary WoWrat
it plays on the title screens of most FFs, or the demo screens before you press a button to bring up the title screen. you're probably thinking of the final fantasy theme
>it plays on the title screens of most FFs
Yes, but not exclusively.
Dumb secondary, stop letting wikipedia do your thinking for you.
did you not read the entire post you moron? lol
How about you address my post at all you dumb homosexual?
I was thinking in the mothercrystal part where you break the shards and she says her lines. The part where Prelude peaks would be nice to hear during that moment.
The Prelude is literally used all throughout the game as Hydaelyn's theme, EW introduced two new tracks with a piano version of Answers and Flow and any scene where either plays could have easily had the Prelude instead.
?si=1oiK7zNmh0iixgA1&t=108
and do you believe that the prelude would be a better choice than Flow, which is Venat's theme, or Answers, which is basically the main theme of the game?
Answers is not the main theme of the game and it's been used a lot in different scenarios to the point where it's hard to pinpoint what it's even meant to represent.
Prior to EW it was mostly used to represent Bahamut and the Calamity and anything associated with it like Louisoix.
Having Answers be Hydaelyn's theme in EW makes no sense cause there's no real reason for it and it clashes with the other places it's used in the game - is it because she's technically the one singing it? She sung Dragonsong and Revolutions too.
If you wanna point to any track as being -the- main theme of XIV it'd probably be Torn from the Heavens.
It's not the only weird music choice in EW either considering they used the Heavensward theme for Amon lol
>Prior to EW it was mostly used to represent Bahamut and the Calamity and anything associated with it like Louisoix.
You mean the main things they fall back on every time they talk about the game as a whole?
Did you just miss it playing in towns for the past like month or two? That they do all the time when talking about the history and such of the game?
Torn from the heavens isn't bad or anything though
They use Answers and the Calamity for the Rising event because that event has to be all encompassing for all players.
If you're a baby sprout still at level 15 doing those quests your only frame of reference for the history of this game and its in-universe lore is the Calamity that everyone sees at the start and is a focal point of the story of base ARR.
But look at the game as a whole: Answers is barely played in any expansion content, the only thing I can think of off the top of my head is the Bahamut fight in Bozja and the bit where Papalymo stops Shinryu.
For what's supposed to be the main theme of the game it barely has any presence inbetween ARR and Endwalker, where it suddenly starts playing everywhere again.
>For what's supposed to be the main theme of the game it barely has any presence inbetween ARR and Endwalker, where it suddenly starts playing everywhere again.
because they had a thing about ending the "hydaelyn arc" so they'd reference it again
they also don't really play much of anything consistently through the game more than it, especially something like torn from the heavens
>especially something like torn from the heavens
What? They play Torn from the Heavens constantly through every expansion.
Solo duties have it, hunts have it, it's used in the Omega fight where he's meant to be emulating the WoL, it's used as the boss theme in Mt. Gulg, it's one of the three songs they use in a NieR mash up (with the other two being the Prelude and the main theme of Final Fantasy, which should be enough to tell you how Torn from the Heavens is thought of in relation to other songs in the game and franchise)
It certainly has way more play than Answers when taking the entire game into account.
i think its because the rest of the expansions focus on other things

No it wasn't. It was used with Bahamut because Coil was the epilogue to 1.0. Answers was written as the game's main theme from the start, and it remained that way up through EW which exactly reflects the ideas in the song's lyrics.

i'm not asking for generic strings, I just feel like there needs to be more context/build up or something to the tones some of the things have. Pandaemonium is crazy ass with a different genre per tier and it fits the horror motif the story is going for, but then you get stuff like the normal Endwalker dungeons where you've got some orchestra stuff, mid-boss theme kicks in and it's the EW theme as done by a rockhead going frickin mental. stuff like Shiva kicking into Oblivion was a hallmark, now it's just sorta "everywhere".
Well it’s hard to fit the generic boss theme of an expansion to every boss, so… maybe the answer is ti have unique boss themes per dungeon?
>Having Answers be Hydaelyn's theme in EW makes no sense
I halfway agree but only because the other half of Answers vocals weren't used anywhere. Should have been Zodiark's theme. As it is it's incomplete.
They basically use Torn from the Heavens to represent ARR, but that means it gets a lot of extra play in event stuff that doesn't require expansions or crossovers. It's sort of the "main theme" in that sense.
Torn from the heavens I always saw as “the warriors of light theme” especially when it played during omega m/f

WoL's theme is Maker's Ruin
That’s the theme I was actually thinking of lmao

They critically fricked something up by removing the old launcher, didn't they?
If anyone is surprised by this, they haven't been paying attention.

>What do you mean you already solved that with Ryne and some girl I've never met, and that there's another group of people trying to get to the Thirteenth to try and fix it?
>Well we should just ignore that in case some alternate universe version of you didn't actually do that
side content isn't canon unless it's required to progress the MSQ
>so she can absorb all of the excess light from the empty and-
>>What do you mean you already solved that
you didn't solve that, the empty is still going to be an arid wasteland for a long time, you were just able to kickstart the healing process. there's still a lot of light aether on the first.
Y'shtola knows already, that's who she was referring to when she talked about "some youths from the First who tried to heal it". There's still light aether though because it needs time to dissolve.
IT'S UP
Would be a kino move is they used a new version of the prelude for Dawntrail to mark a new beggining, I know they always sneak it there in the expansions (Some more obvious than others) but I don't mean "Leimotif and then hints of prelude", just the goddam prelude and then hints of the expansion leimotif.
>we'll never get music this magical and comfy ever again
1.0 music and some of the lower level ARR tunes have the same feel but they completely lost that when moving on through the expansions. I guess that's the Uematsu effect.
most of the arr area music kind of sucks
it's not offensively bad but never in my life have I thought "Oh yea I really wanna listen to thanalan day it's great"
I can't really blame 2.0 that much though, they cobbled it together with 5 dollars and a shoe string
1.0 tunes were a whole nother level
Uematsu >>>>>>>> Sucken
I'm still surprised no one's tried to properly reattribute 1.0 songs to some of the areas and content they were on before in a mod. Everything is just replacements from other games.
An anon here made a mod like that, I don't know if he uploaded it anywhere.
I made that a while ago. I've been unsubbed for a bit so I can't compress it to a .pmp.

Hm...
i kinda wish the soundtrack in general had more "focus". i know FF is no stranger to genre switches, but the amount of music that suddenly flips from orchestral fantasy wonder to WE WANNA MAKE UEMATSU-SAN PROUD WITH THESE METAL GUITARS is fricking whiplash. individually a lot of songs are great and Alexander themes are stuck in my head but like jesus christ
other than a few stinkers like embers the genre changes are mostly good
YOU SHUT YOUR prostitute MOUTH ANON
EMBERS IS FRICKING GOOD.
for a raid series that has WILD FREAKS and pretty much every other piece being at least "pretty good" embers sucks
it's like they had an idea for a song but then dropped it halfway so it just kind of meanders along
initially I thought it'd be some prolonged "setup" for P8P2 but white stone black is a very different and much, much better song
I feel the opposite: When I started I thought all the different styles were offputting but now I realize what a big joy they are.
Nah, it makes the bosses more memorable, especially if you're progging a boss for multiple lockouts. I much prefer it to the subtler movie-style soundtrack like Soken did for FF16.
Frick off, the variety in the soundtrack is the best part
yeah whatever nerds, we TIME now

So is Zero here to stay, or is she going into future expansion stasis?
I hope she's banished to the Void and never seen again
I'm like 90% on her going into stasis, if not outright sacrificing herself for good.
i actually have no fricking clue
If every piece of side content that has given us a supernatural friend taught us anything they're most likely sacrificing themselves.
Really only Gaia is an exception to this rule.

That isn't straight from FF1 credits?
Honestly, I didn't even play FF1 before playing Stranger of paradise, I was just a man looking for a challenge. This is really so cool, you can tell they crafted SOP with so much love and respect for Final fantasy, unlike FF16.
>unlike FF16
moron
now i do agree sop was made with nothing but love and respect for ff, but the schizo narrative that ff16 is somehow "anti-ff" or otherwise made with spite against ff is beyond moronic and relies entirely upon taking stupid shit at surface level
but it's true
I think the great streamliner hates japanese games in general. He hates his roots, hates RPGs and hates final fantasy. I couldn't think of a bigger mistake than letting this whole dev team continue to work under Square Enix.
>"hey yoshida can you make ff17?"
>"yeah sure I'll make it a battle royale because that's what kids are playing these days"
That was the dev process on FF16 anyways.
Zone music could be handled better admittedly.
Reminder that in Stormblood there are six (6) separate occasions where a villain simply runs away (3 times accompanied by a smoke bomb out of nowhere) while everyone looks at them and does nothing, only for them to return and kill more people. The writers literally go "and then they confront her in the tower but she escapes, so then they confront her at the bridge but she escapes, so then they confront her in the command center but she escapes" and so on. I love that expansion for its content, the effort they put into the zones, the amount of detail in places like Kugane, but the MSQ is almost unbearable after the Azim Steppe and goes into freefall until 4.4.
Fordola is cute! CUTE!
>after Steppe
All of Yanxia sucks massive dick, especially the Ruby Sea. I never know why people pretend the Steppe was good, even before Ishikawa was more acknowledged.
The Steppe had a logical and consistent storyline. It's really that simple, because afterwards there are so many events that do not make any sense whatsoever.
I disagree. The problem was very unique to SB. Yes, there are some not as interesting parts in other expansions too, but SB is the only time where genuinely nonsensical things happen. In no other expansion is there a scene like "the woman who is mentally a child and needs constant supervision manages to escape while being watched by one of the best ninja's in the world... twice.".
Yanxia's aesthetic is kino. The day and night themes are also excellent.
I can't for the life of me remember anything that happened in the zone, aside from dealing with the moronic FF4 wolf people.
you try to kill zenos there with yugiri and uhhh doma castle and that's it
It's where they show how war and oppression can break a people, but for literally no reason (no really, go back and do the second half of the zone quests) they change their minds and aren't broken anymore at the end.
Azim Steppe had a bunch of fun characters and well realized lore (even if most of it is just heavily inspired by mongolian myth, it's still something you don't often see in video games) combined with some great aesthetics and music.
steppe makes Hien seem like he'll be a good character and does actually make a good character out of Gosetsu, its the most solid turd in a cistern of diarrhea since it actually goes out of its way to introduce meaningful characters rather than *clenches fist* "it cant be helped" for the 12th time
Frankly the MSQ is best described as stellar highlights buried between mountains of horseshit. ARR may be a drag, StB may be frickawful, but the entire story of this game is them setting up tons of ideas, and then pissing 90% of them away as the characters are consistently fricking moronic until a final do-or-die confrontation. if it even happens and expectations don't get subverted by Garlemald getting folded near-entirely off-screen in what feels like may have been days/weeks at best.

Thinking of staying up until maintenance is over and running the Alliance Raid before going to work.
I spammed Rival Wings for the recent Moogle event but holy shit PvP is the worst on controller. Hitting X will always target the ally mammets first and if I try and do the L2/R2 + L1/R1 thing it targets the furthest player so I always have trouble targeting people I can actually hit. Are there any settings to fix any of this?
Can you adjust your target filters?
Not that I’ve seen. I’ve tried a lot but there really isn’t a way to not target greens
on keyboard you can bind a hotkey to specifically target the person closest to you so you should probably stop being a controller cuck
is the zeromus fight even going to be in this patch or are we gonna have to wait 4 months for 6.55
It's in the patch notes, so yes.
Base 6.5 seems to be entirely about resolving the Void plot once and for all in about seven MSQ quests, dungeon and trial included. .55 will probably be Dawntrail setup and characters musing on the aftermath of 6.5.
You will never be a real paladin. You have no honour, you have no oath, you have no code. You are a deluded gunbreaker twisted by parsetroony metas into a crude mockery of Sultansworn perfection.
All the commendations you get are two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your trainers are disgusted and ashamed of you, your party members laugh at your ghoulish design behind closed doors.
Healers are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed healers to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even nu-PLDs who "pass" look uncanny and unnatural to a healer. Your DPS rotation is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk healer to queue with you, he'll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your pathetic, uninspired burst window.
You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake tank cooldown every single mechanic and tell yourself it's going to be okay, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it'll be too much to bear. You'll grab your GNB soulstone, stare down your gunblade's barrel, and {Superbolide} into the cold abyss. Your trainers will find you, heartbroken but relieved they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They'll bury you with a headstone marked with your real job, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know that a gunbreaker is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the aetherial sea, and all that will remain of your legacy will be a soul that is unmistakably a gunbreaker.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

dumb question but have we seen the dungeon gear yet?
I hate Stormblood's MSQ because I was really invested in it thematically, but the execution was so fricking bad that it was almost an insult to people who suffered in war times. I loved that the role quest in EW in Doma showed what an incompetent moron Hien and his ilk really are. The Doman reconstruction questline was a million times better than the MSQ there.

the content was exactly as good as the content before and after it and the """best""" part of the expansion is so widely hated they had to nerf it into the grind a dozen times over for people to even pretend to like it, and even then it's just "diadem but slightly less shit"
>SB is the worst part of the game barring some parts of ARR
Dumb fricking Limsa idler homosexual who thinks the story is the entire game.
>the content was exactly as good as the content before and after it
Even if you believe this, SB also had the highest amount of content. So even if the quality is the same, there's more, so it's mathematically superior.
>and the """best""" part of the expansion is so widely hated
Only by Limsa idler morons (you)
>Dumb fricking Limsa idler homosexual who thinks the story is the entire game.
It's not the entire game but it's pretty much the sole reason to play it because the raiding scene is a shitshow.
Strange you bring up limsa idlers since those are always the ones happy to afk with their paypal legend titles and their glowshit weapons.
>Only by Limsa idler morons (you)
It was reviled on launch and actually got worse as it went along. It wasn't until (relatively) recently where they nerfed everything that people started trying to say it was good, and even if you for some reason thing it was perfect content it's sill objectively inferior to bozja (which itself has problems) because it's the only piece fo content in the entire game that actively discourages you from doing shit with your friends.
>Eureka
>the only piece fo content in the entire game that actively discourages you from doing shit with your friends.
You can't be serious.
He's right. I couldn't party with my friend because he was a higher level than me so doing shit with him would handicap my EXP gain. It was so fricking moronic I immediately dropped it and didn't come back until Shadowbringers.
t. endbryo who never actually played during hw or sb and are just regurgitating eceleb opinions of
>le hw was the peak
>le game is still in its prime
and deducing between those that must mean that sb was bad, because you weren't actually there and have no idea how good we had it (even though we were all doomposting about how bad things were during 4.0 and 4.1)
I was there though, and it's comical that people try to push that the general opinion of the playerbase is e-celeb shit when can use their 2 braincells to see the common opinion and repeat it for easy likes
>even though we were all doomposting about how bad things were during 4.0 and 4.1)
but wasn't sb "the peak of the game"? all the content? all the job balance (that was already getting massive nerfs)?
make up your mind you morons you can't have it both ways
>wasnt sb the peak of the game
Yes, in hindsight it was
It was very different from hw though and that was what we were used to, so because it had just changed we didn't appreciate it at first. After things set in we got a chance to appreciate things, hence why doomposting was common for the first couple patches.
PLD was removed from the game in 6.3
The job changes did irreparable damage to the game. Not every single job needed a fricking gauge.
oh and the "job balance" was already dumbing things down to oblivion from HW and yet still a good handful of the jobs, including the fake out "poster job" was an unplayable mess
>oh and the "job balance" was already dumbing things down

I played on NA, EU and JP DCs, and I can say with absolute certainty that this is an exclusively american thing. Not just troony shit, but mental illness in general. Furries, communists, people who literally cannot stop talking about how much they hate christians, homosexuals who literally cannot stop talking about how much they love wieners and cum and so on.

I wish they would tie something to the reward that would get people to do it for longer than the first week, it doesn't even have to be high ilvl gear like Yoshi P said he didn't want to add. Give it more collectables that look good that take a bit to get and gives people a goal to replay it.
>it's another "Lyse acts like a patronizing c**t towards people who have suffered much more than her" episode with a bonus rerun of "not only does she never get her comeuppance for that, but she even gets praised and rewarded"
I hate Stormblood's MSQ so much, bros.
>Lyse gets to become leader of the ala mhigo resistance and the fricking princess queen of the entire nation because her parents were major people, her sister actually did most of the resistance work ahead of time before dying, and she was there to watch the warrior of light actually pave the path for her and the rest of the resistance
At least it got this shit character away from us for how much they pissed everything away
The thing is, I actually like her character on a conceptual level, and she does have a pretty design and all that. But she says such stupid fricking bullshit in serious moments and she doesn't grow at all as a character, she is exactly the same from start to finish, but the game pretends like she somehow is fitting for the role of a leader at the end.
>and the fricking princess queen of the entire nation
C'mon there are valid criticisms of her arc and character but this doesn't happen.
She might as well be. Not officially, not legally, not technically, but the story doesn't really coin her as anything but a resistance leader that might as well be the head of state, all while nepotism is the entire reason she's in that position to begin with.
Raubahn is basically the head of state but he's not a cute blonde bimbo so yeah we don't see him often.
Letting Yotsuyu and Fordola live was the most baffling thing. Not to mention when Lyse invited tempered fricking beastmen into the throne room. That part in particular is probably the most stupid moment in the entire game by far.
Lyse gets away with it because she was established to be a special ed kid ever since her first appearance.
Lyse is trash, but Zero (character development) is worse. I really hope we bench that c**t for good after this expansion.
That depends. Zero is extremely bland and boring, but she's not offensively stupid (although the circumstances surrounding her are very much stupid, don't get me wrong). Lyse is entertaining and pretty, but has some of the dumbest dialogue in the entire game, and her saying this dumb shit is directly connected to her as a character.
Lyse is so fricking lucky she’s hot, she has NOTHING going for her
Why do the maints take a full day these days? It's not like they're adding new wards or server hardware this time.

Just watched an Asmongold video where he says that XIV is dead, looks like shit and that every online game has better, more responsive combat and his entire chat of 30K people were agreeing and laughing
I am in shambles
I am so glad I don’t care for normal-Black person opinions.
He has a lot of influence over many MMO junkies.
The discourse around XIV right now is that its boring, samey, ugly, sluggish, and is dead or dying.
These are very bad optics
He's not wrong.
Don't look at the competition though. The absolute state of the genre...
His passive aggressive hatred of 14 makes me wonder if Yoshi didn't suck his dick good enough.
That was so embarrassing when SE pulled out the red carpet for those wowgays iver their own fans only to have asmon bald and that homosexual Rich just pivot away
Why is there no hype for Downstrail?
there was hype but then its been two months and people realized we aren't seeing it for another 6-8 months.
More of the same or even worse. Unironically.
Major selling point of the expansion is a graphics update that only makes it 7 years out of date instead of 10. Endwalker's .x series patches have largely been shit. More importantly, they haven't shown off anything interesting yet.
Because the story is over and the gameplay has been stripped to the bones
It's yawnfail, show some respect
How can I be hyped when Graha is very sadly still alive?
Because of that fricking song in the trailer
Because the saga is over and nobody knows what to expect. Especially because current MSQ gave no hints on where we are going. All is left is to see what happens tomorrow after we defeat Zero + Mus
Bro speaking of Lyse I was re-watching some SHB cutscenes and there's the part where Lyse meets G'raha and there are two parts that feel weird
>Krile treats Lyse like she was actually an archon and that she would know others archons
>Lyse somehow knows who G'raha is and says "the others told me about you", who the hell are the others?
I know Lyse's archon mark was fake etc but did she actually pretend to be Yda while in Sharlayan? I thought she only did that in Eorzea. Like Yda's friends in Sharlayan would fricking recognize that this woman pretending to be their friend isn't her? Did EVERYONE just play along with Lyse's dead sister LARP? And who the frick told her about G'raha?
>but did she actually pretend to be Yda while in Sharlayan?
She only pretended to be Lyse in Eorzea so she could slide into Yda's spot in the Circle of Knowing.
>And who the frick told her about G'raha?
WoL and Feo Ul were giving status reports to Tataru during ShB. Plus there was time between when they all got back to the Source and when Lyse showed up.

itt endwalkersperms
why are you even arguing?
DRK was the top dog this expansion in terms of both mitigation and dps. Almost all scary busters were magical which made dark mind really good.
DRK also had more externals(2 charges of oblation). Tank sustain is irrelevant, healers have more single target heals than ever and you want to survive those busters first. Warriors were shitting and pissing themselves in abysoss because bedwetting wasn't enough to deal with week 1 tank bleeds. DRK on the other hand could kitchen sink and take solo stacks in p7s lmfao
DRK players are throwing a fit because they are sliding down the DPS charts and trying to ignore all of those facts about mitigation, it's so tiresome. Let's not even bring up how much of a menace DRK is in PVP too.
Every job already had a gauge, it was called TP.

How would you fix DRG?
Give it a gauge that goes from 0 to 100 and a big fat 50 gauge spender.
>every offensive jump resets cooldown on elusive jump
>geirskogul, nastrond, wyrmwind thrust and skydiver have increased when executed from range like in pvp
>highjump is now a weaponskill affected by sks
Is there anything even wrong with DRG? Seems to be in a good spot and is one of the most played jobs in the game.
It's too complicated and scary for the nu-SMN audience.
Judging by what people have told me about their previous reworks, DRG is going to get neutered hard. Any suggestions for a new job to pick? I kinda like BLM but idk
BLM will forever be immune from dogshit reworks because it's yoshida's pet.
Personally I would just quit the game.
There have been more good reworks than bad ones. Is the new SMN a great job? Not really. Is it better than before? Yes.
>Is it better than before? Yes.
not really
That's just being a contrarian and you know it. You will call every single rework shit, no matter what they do, because you refuse to see how bad some jobs where in HW and SB.
They will say that MCH had no problems, guaranteed. They're just one step removed from the "1.0 was the best" crowd.

it wasn't designed around troony 2 minute meta and it feels awkward to get twisted into it so they have to rebuild it from the ground up to work with it, like with pld where they just ctrl v gunbreaker over it
For the longest time they've had no idea what to do with DRG so they simply drop another skill ontop of what's there and move on. This wasn't a problem at first but now they have a bunch of tacked on shit that ends up being more annoying than anything, especially considering how easily and unenjoyable it is to desync a single button on the job.
Theres no room to add anything to DRG's kit. All it got for EW was a single GcD makeover and another Geirskogul oGcD to throw out.
Ideally DRG rework frees the uniquely DRG actions, like every single jump, from being exclusive to off-global's. In reality, they'll probably frick something up and leave it feeling worse.
DRG needs it's buttons condensed. Put some things on the same button or something.
But MNK already got the DRG treatment where it now has a strict combo you need to follow.
mnk mains will tell you that's not true because they drift all the time but it is true
Time Travel back to HW when it was already perfect.
It's mostly perfect. The only changes I'd make are:
>Make life window 19 seconds so Geirskogul doesn't drift
>Give me a Hagakure equivalent so I can re-align myself if I have too many dragon eyes or start a fight with 1 eye
ok so what i’m hearing is
>spam 1234 during downtime
>get a buff that lets you spam 555555 every minute
>no ogcds except litany
is that right?
Yes, I am eagerly awaiting WARgoon.
I make everything play like dancer
why the frick did they make jump and spirit dive one button then change their minds
they dumb
Apparently it was fricking over people who had bad ping.
>comparing pvp to pve
endbryos are desperate
>All this arguing about tanks
>PLD barely even mentioned
PLDbros... do we suck that much???
When you realize gauges are nothing more than gussied up tp gauges you'll realize how lame the devs are and how gullible the fanbase is
this is why sb was good, tp and job gauges at the same time so gauges got the chance to be more interesting than just tp+

/biggrin______
can they buff brd’s lb so that it isn’t such dogshit
give drk a 1 2 3, 4 5 6 combo
and chain it all to one button, because there will be no reason to do them out of order and its stupid to bloat your buttons like that.
heh that's where you're wrong dumbo
1 2 3 gives you heal
4 5 6 gives you mp
then just have 123 in the first button 456 on the other
>4 5 6 gives you mp
Ok so you spam that and the other one is a Free Cure noobtrap.
you fools
1 2 3 gives you health
1 2 4 does the most immediate damage but costs mp
1 5 6 restores mp
7 8 applies a dot
i like this idea
i am emailing yoship as we speak
Man, I miss 3.0 NIN.
and then give drk a skill that gives freestyle
Cool idea
Will never happen because 75% of players in this game have a sub-60 IQ and terminal rickets

frick i'm so close to getting role quest shit done too
Unless they changed it in the past year I've not been playing, if all you care about is the role quest, level SMN, since it'll hand you SCH at 90
What are you doing while waiting? besides being on Ganker that is.
I'm painting my 40k army.
I can't play the game at the moment due to a broken wrist, So I'm hoping I can avoid spoilers on everything but the alliance raid.
The dude you're travelling with in the story is the 13th god that Emet teased.
That's what I thought since the first alliance raid of this expansion but I want confirmation on it.

How is that? was looking at it earlier.
If you like classic SMT it's a perfect clone, really fun. Has SMTIV skill transfer but available for all your touhous and not only the protag so you can just keep your favorites and keep their skills up to date easily.
How do you make a new melee DPS distinct from the other melee DPS is my question, people keep saying shit like an inverse RDM where you hack away and then do a backdash into a ranged burst or some shit
stamina management like monster hunter/dark souls
Make it a buff job and give it AST cards.
>but you already have AST
Yes but this is AST but melee.
That's fricking stupid but probably exactly what it's going to be because the devteam has "balanced" themselves into a fricking corner
I just hope it's another dual wielding job.
What I would really like to see is a Melee Healer that has to be in melee range to heal, running all across the stage to reach the players like to apply potions and stitches as a Chemist or something
honestly if they do go the troubadour/corsair style, it would be fun to just, shoot people with healing when on downtime. sucks that Mewlyb's dual pistol shit is exclusive to her though
Why do I have to press 1 2 3 then 456? Why can't I just switch combo stance?
Is there any more pathethic fanbade than XIV? Do you reallly need to bring the whole Discord to raid some e-celebs subreddit because you're so insecure about your game?

I don't understand why people give a shit about what terminal MMO addicts say. It's like caring about the opinions of the crackhead that lives in the meth house down the street
Except that crackhead would constantly try to burn everyone's house down
You mean Asmongolds fans who happen to play XIV over WoW. Though blame Desperius for doing a dogshit job as usual.
Is that the guy who barely even plays video games anymore and killed his mom?

Thanks Wowies
>Thanks Wowies
But wow classes are actually unique and have identity nowadays?
No?
Ninja is a wannabe mage. Its just a bag full of strict ogcd timings. It's 123 is pointless as it does tank tier damage and is just there to distract you until you get your mudras back for another "burst phase".
download is up
God I wish SMN was actually cool and had actual summons
Why is this team so fricking dogshit at coding they can't even do a simple pet/DoT system right
welcome to the modern reworks, where yoshida is a raidprostitute and appeals to raiders who want absolute consistency for parsing because he too wants raids
I'm sick of raiders, they're not even good players. They just learn the mechanics rote and do a rotation around it.
The perfect raid is one without any bullshit markers or dumbshit puzzle macros.
>HEALER STAND NORTH AND PUT THE DEBUFF ON THE OFF TANK AND TWO DPS IN THE SOUTH WITH THE REBUFF ON THE CLEAVE AOE IN THE WEST WITH THE SHADOW WOLF ADD
It's why I hate role-specific mechanics in their modern design, or everything boiling down to having light party/partner setups with clock positions.
>God I wish SMN was actually cool and had actual summons
Mods fix it
I have access to every primal in the game except Thordan, Ravana, and Bismarck. Working on Ravana and Bismarck soon but Thordan seems beyond my skill level unfortunately.
Mods might fix the visuals but not the boring linear zero-thought design of the gameplay.
True but you can replace the satisfaction by summoning cool stuff and pretending to hit elemental weaknesses by swapping primals with penumbra
why can’t we do it for real instead of pretending? i want to wipe out a group of lightning-weak mantas in 1 hit with a ramuh blast or summon maduin to blast a bunch of undeads with holy damage
Elementals too hard to remember
Some fights would not be optimal with SMN and then SMN-onlygays would feel bad
Number go up is as complicated as these players can handle

Yes a Gentleman of Light would.
They could show a 2 hour long gangbang with the twins, it wouldn't change the fact that the patch story was boring as frick before that.
>entirety of endwalker gets retconned
I kneel
I'd tip my hat.
If he actually managed to do that, sure.
Oda????
O(wari)da
IT WAS ME ALL ALONG
>Happy wants to get rid of Sidewinder
Brdbros...let us pray Yoshida won't listen to him.
It might as well not exist anymore. It's a boring damage cooldown with no interaction with the kit.
Bard has been dead since shadowbringers.
I miss Bowmage so much bros.
Bowmage was alright, but SB bard was king.
>giving a flying frick about what Happycuck has to say about literally anything
Sidewinder is like Upheaval; an oGCD that exists as filler and has no interaction with your kit.
Any cool devs in the chat :33
Please tell me that isn't the caroline I think it is
You know it
You should see her discord server, she posts bangers like that all the time
Unironic schizoid that still has bibo-shaped ghosts tormenting her
Honestly, it makes sense that a woman who turns her character into some kind of torture victim is a complete psycho. A bit disappointing, though.
What the frick is this creature babbling about a defamation?
I like Zero.
digits confirm
Me too
I kinda wish they rework bard, it feels like they don't know if they want to keep it looking like a archer/ranger or bard. Pressing damage buffs always happens in the same timeframe, defense mitigations in the same timeframe, even the songs you keep in the same rotation ALWAYS.
But at the same same, if they rework we know it's going to be SMN too, but instead of summoning, we will just play songs.
>Pressing damage buffs always happens in the same timeframe, defense mitigations in the same timeframe, even the songs you keep in the same rotation ALWAYS.
Yes, that's the two minute meta raiders wanted to they could micro optimize every single fight by mapping out every single action in every fight.
Couple that with SE seeing reactive design was "bad" in HW and we'll likely never get anything else.
You can't really add reactive design to a game that adds artificial 500 ms delay to every action. So long as they have their netcode issues of being snapshotted by AOE, reactive design is an impossibility. But the two minute homosexualry has to go, I a gree.
Play PVP
>play with wintraders and cheaters
Nah. I grinded zero to 25 in a day and the sheer amount of cheating homosexuals that I saw even in casuals was staggering.
>fighting a dude
>BRD ahead of me, focused on someone else, pumping the shots
>drop LB as SMN
>the character spazzes out and immediately silences me even though I was behind him and outside of his camera range
>goes back to pumping shots into someone else
>play a different job
>enemies straight up ignore you untill your HP drops below a certain value and then literally teleport on top of you to oneshot you with perfectly timed high damage abilities
brd got gutted in pvp unfortunately
>ranged silence?
>we can't have that
PVP is for AFK crystal farming
How come complaints about BRD are everything BUT the fact it doesn't play music in combat?
The complaint is they smashed together two jobs that have nothing to do with each other and fit together like peanut butter and bacon
So XIV will die on the shitter too?
Already did
for me sidewinder and dots are kinda just there now but yeah the biggest problem with bard is that its mostly a ranger and less of a bard
It'd be fun if theres a skill where you have to do 5 second rhythm game in your rotation and it'll automatically spend all your procs
>forever screwed out of an actual cool RNG job
>Black Diablos bow
Imagine negative crits
I unironically prefer pvp MCH to its pve version, just make DT MCH the pvp version but with Queen
Also walking slowly while shooting > jumping around like a homosexual to shoot stuff that dont even look cool
Also what is the purpose of flamethrower?
PVP job design is better than PVE in every way, it's sad that SE allows PVP to fricking rot away to cheaters
The Nero mod made Gunbreaker fun!
But the Vergil mod did nothing for SAM
I'm still in awe of them completely gutting PLD and turning it into a GNB clone because "its damage was too low" and while doing so they somehow managed to reduce its damage by almost a third
Never underestimate the incompetence of this company
I play all tanks except DRK but how is PLD a GNB clone
Have you played it since 6.3?
Over 90% of its abilities are now 1:1 copies of GNB skills. With a cooldown changed between 30, 60, and 120 seconds at most.
...? Recquiescat is similar to Gnashing Fang I guess? PLD doesnt have Continuation though and its a ranged combo
Fight or Flight - No Mercy
Sheltron - Heart of Stone
Prominence - Demon Slaughter
Goring Blade - Double Down
Royal Authority - Solid Barrel
Holy Spirit - Burst Strike
Requiescat - Bloodfest
Holy Circle - Fated Circle
Atonement - Burst Strike
Confiteor - Gnashing Fang
Holy Sheltron - Heart of Corundum
Blade of Faith - Gnashing Fang
Blade of Truth - Savage Claw
Blade of Valor - Wicked Talon
>Sheltron - Heart of Stone
>Holy Sheltron - Heart of Corundum
did you forget how PLD actually works and it has Intervention
>Requiescat - Bloodfest
you dont press Bloodfest everytime its up though...
>Confiteor - Gnashing Fang
>Blade of Faith - Gnashing Fang
>Blade of Truth - Savage Claw
>Blade of Valor - Wicked Talon
PLD doesnt have Continuation though but it is kinda similar
>Royal Authority - Solid Barrel
>Atonement - Burst Strike
not really, a full rotation for PLD gives you Atonement stacks too and a holy spirit, GNB's full combo gives Brutal Shell and a cartridge
>Goring Blade - Double Down
How it works is different but yeah its functionally the same
I wouldn't say GNB is a PLD clone.
>you dont press Bloodfest everytime its up though...
??? but you do
>fight is approaching 2 mins burst
>you have full cartridge
>No Mercy almost is off cooldown
>Bloodfest is up
do you press it?
>you don't press bloodfest every time its up
So you're dogshit
>intervention
WOW A MERGED BUTTON IS SPLIT IN TWO SO DIFFERENT
>no continuation
what a massive difference that is.
>cope about holy spirits and atonements
They're cartridges now. Frequency of use doesn't matter.
>I wouldn't say GNB is a PLD clone.
No, I wouldn't either, because PLD is a GNB clone. Those are two very different things. PLD was killed so that GNB could be pasted over it.
NTA, but I'd say they're similar in structure except GNB has way more weaving while PLD has some double weaves every 30s or so. Both of them require you to monitor your burst buff cooldown to make sure you have resources saved up to use under it (enough cartridges for gnashing fang/DD for GNB, a divine might charge for PLD), and you have to make absolutely sure to use Gnashing Fang/Goring Blade on cooldown.
They did the same to DRK and WAR, except WAR is worse in every way and no, homosexuals, if you never see content outside of expert roulette don't fricking talk to me about how WAR is good because it can solo a dungeon.
Reckre Scat,
