>This is more proof that any 'fantasy' setting that drags on too long and outlasts its time will turn into sci-fi
I don't think you even know what Final Fantasy is.
Hey if you wanna defend your sci-fi game where everyone still lives in the third world, without basics like indoor plumbing then I understand. I'm just saying that every fantasy game eventually turns into sci-fi. Doesn't matter if its final fantasy or not if every game does it.
This was the game all along. Take normal thing and pervert it, people become disgusted upon the sight of normal thing, "but that's just normal thing you are clearly just one of them", then they push you to their side.
>new eureka/bozja equivalent is gonna be about other planets
Actually that's the Island Sanctuary/Ishgardian Restoration equivalent of Dawntrail you're thinking of. Cosmic Exploration.
got me there kek
are there actually any FF games with straight up space exploration? That seems more like a Star Ocean kinda thing.
Furthest we've gone is the moon
Wait is that place in your picture accessible? Can I get there with the free trial?
the pic is actually from FF13-2, so no
unless they eventually decide to throw Lightninggays a bone, in which case: still no because that'll be way past the free trial
>new housing zone is a space habitat city with the endless stars as your sky
Gonna feel real gud to immediately transfer over to one of the new plots because of my underpopulated server

13-2 is worse than 10-2 but it doesn't function on the basis of ruining a good game. Basically if you don't give a frick about 13 the worst thing about it is just being a weird retcon sequel that changes the entire dynamic of the setting.
Endwalker specifically mentioned there were four other etheirys like planets the loporrits new of and if you look at the concept image for the excursions the loporrit has a thought bubble showing four planets. Its just going to be uninhabited diadem shit again.
that shit still annoys me
why does the Ragnarok need to be in two places at once
we have in-universe teleporters
specifically designed for people who can't manipulate aether and therefore can't travel through the Lifestream normally
how hard would it have been to just go "oh yeah we invented a souped-up teleporter that can work across any distance"
they even did the teleportation experiment in the prologue, it could have called back to that
why do that when you can put a copy of the ship extradimensionally linked to its real self back on the source and explain it as "holy shit things work weird in ultima thule"
I love how they always showcase the art for these cus it looks nothing like this in game. It's so ugly, not even the graphics update will save it from forever looking like the ps3 title it is.
I've never played an MMO or a FF game. Should I try the free trial of this? I like the concept of MMOs but I have no friends, is there a good way to meet them in-game? Or is it a very loney experience as a singe player, does it just play like a single player game?
The MSQ (main-story quest) is pretty much a solo thing.
It gets group-based depending on what you are doing. You can do dungeons in a group and trials require a group, but those are basically you going into them, finishing them, and leaving. For actual group-based interaction, you'll have to seek it out. Most of it is at endgame, but you can facilitate some earlier on via like Palace of the Dead or Eureka.
It's very single-player focused, now more than ever. The story is primarily single-player, you will see lots of people in the over-world while doing ARR but there's not much reason to interact with them, you can do dungeons with others via matchmaking or just choose to do them with AI companions, I think trials (story boss fights) still require real players but that can be done via matchmaking as well. People don't chat much during duties, with the exception being alliance raids occasionally (24man optional content, also can be done via matchmaking) You don't get a state-mandated bestie or anything, its not particularly easy making friends in game but neither is it impossible I suppose
XIV is actually at its best as a single player experience. The playerbase are a bunch of mentally ill degenerates and the less interaction with them the better. As a single player FF game it's very good though, yes.
>does it just play like a single player game?
You can play it as such, in face I would say this is where it excels. You'll get varying enjoyment out of the early arcs depending on your interests but it becomes more satisfying the further you progress.
I embrace the purple and blue, Azys Lla might be the worst looking place in all of 14. Not even sure what the allagans were smoking, the internals of Dalamud looked fine.
that looks so different from literally any other place in the entire game that it's jarring. I can't believe people say it's the best MMO, it does only one thing right and that's dungeons. the story is completely jank, even by jrpg standards, the jobs have gotten so homogeneous that there's little difference between them, and the questing is some of the most mundane WoW tier shit.
xiv has a zillion types of advanced civilizations with different aesthetics
omicrons have their very own sci-fi aesthetic, loporrits have it, allagans have it, ancients (in their own way) have it, karellians have it
yadda yadda yadda
The worst part is that they never do anything with the settings, it's all typical theme park shit
Reminds me of some shovel ware k-mmos where in one area you have just some orcs in mud huts and the next area you have people wearing baseball jerseys riding horses and TV screens showing ads while displayed on a castle and people cooking food on some ye olde cast iron oven. It just exists but it's never brought up again

It literallt does not. There are at least half a different locations in similar style. You're just a fricking moron that hasn't played the game
Why do some shitty healers refuse to use Aspected Benefic or Regen, especially in dungeons? They're both 1500 pots, GCD's yes, but instant cast so you can even use them during movement. Take away half your workload.
I miss the days when you could directly pump your HoT potency by stacking more VIT(which increased Enhancing Magic, which Regen fell under), as well as gear with direct increases to HoT spells.
Is the a/v/erage vydia enjoyer from Ganker getting marginalized and abused by bad faith blue mage players?
Yoshida better act on this, the toxicity is getting out of hand.
I wish they hadn't spoiled this so openly. This would have been enough of a tone shift from what was expected that I think people would have genuinely lost their minds if they had experienced it within the game.
I can only assume that, in usual fashion, the actual final zone (mind you, Solution 9 is the Eulmore or Radz-At-Han of Dawntrail) will be even crazier.
Why are they spoiling this? Why do asian game companies do this shit? Hoyoverse also spoils Genshin bosses and shit way ahead of time and ruins any surprise
Because it’s either not the full picture or not an important twist. That’s like asking “Why do they spoil Minfillia returning in the Shadowbringers trailer????”
>I’m I not uguu cute?
Whatever this is it definitely has one of those cards along with its IDs that says to take it to some local mental hospital in case of a breakdown or pickup by police
Is this on the benchmark?
Ok, so this obviously shit, I agree, but I'm kind of impressed with the way shaders can look now.
You know, assuming it was put to work in a good way, and not to make abominations like these.
really hard to be hyped about these areas when they're all empty squares with only a couple of landmarks that are shown in deceiving angles making them look bigger and more interesting than they really are
Kinda the same. It's heartbreaking to see a huge, sprawling city with skyscrapers and know that a 4x4 feet cube is all we're really getting to walk around in while the rest is just background fodder. I know they can't make an entire city and populate it with furniture and NPCs, but they can at least make the accessible area a little bigger. Open up like two or three skyscrapers. Have a connectiong bridge. Let us traverse one of those elevated highways, etc.
That's just how citys are though. If you go to a capital city like paris it's 90% private residences or company offices that you'll never get entry to, rest is shopping centers or recreational areas. Have you never been outside?
Yes, but Final Fantasy XIV hasn't and it will make zero sense within the world and lore. Not that anyone cares because the people who don't care about the story, don't care about the story, and the people who do think the devs are geniuses and everything they do with the story is unmitigated brilliance that no one is to question.
>but Final Fantasy XIV hasn't and it will make zero sense within the world and lore.

Yea online harassment is a thing, are you new to the internet? If you block someone and they keep harassing you with a ton of alt then the cops get involved and it’s clearly a sign of mental illness
Just because you are on BLU mage doesn't mean you HAVE to use the actions that basically frick over everyone else. You can, but you shouldn't be surprised when it pisses people off. It's like Rescuing someone into pits. >WTF, I'm just using spells the game allows
Its pretty common sense really
It's not my problem other people refuse to do it the easy way, the game allows it, if the dev team had a problem with the way the spells are being used they would either change the spells or change how the fate system works, simple as that, i shouldn't be called a griefer and get massively reported just because some morons absolutely refuse to take part into the easiest way to farm an event.
>Man I wish XIV had more social interactions in the overworld >Event comes where everyone is interacting in the overworld >Proceed to play in the most anti-social manner that makes everyone hate you
I'm enjoying the event, but it really is a preview of how the game is going to be in Dawntrail. All this new multiplayer content, Exploration zone and more large scale multiplayer focused stuff, yet the player base won't talk, they'll run in Blu-mage it and run out afraid to interact.
I've tried for over three days to get into groups by talking in the in game chat and not a single response. I see lots of players around don't get my wrong, but no one is talking in game.
They're all in Discord, linkshells or FC chat mainly discord.
Limited jobs were a mistake for this reason. They are intentionally overpowered so of course people will use them to grind what they can. Before they came out, people would group up to run FATEs. They still do somewhat, but the experience is soured by the BLUs and soon to be BST.
On my server I always see people shouting LFG for FATE grind. Maybe try travelling to a different server?
Pretty sure people still do that was shb and ew fates, when I was unlocking all 90 fates title I had like 3 or 4 other people with me and it’s even more at the start of the expansion
I think it's a mindset of some people, for me I ask myself why am I playing an mmo? Is it for the achievements for the item hunting? Or is it for the interaction, for the experience that you can't find in other games.
I'm not playing for achievements, I really don't care for that, for minmaxing I think that mentality is what has killed the fun out of mmos.
The community is as much to blame as the devs, I will always use the Fallguys event as a way how moronic mmo players are, they took an event that was meant to be some casual fun with other people and they min maxed it to where there were raid guides people were using on second monitors for drop patterns on the final gauntlet run. They did that because they wanted the achievement, they don't care about social interaction.
It's not a community problem, it's literally a you problem. It's a "people are not playing how I want" kind of problem. The game offers a frickton of content, some is social and some is not, just because you saw people optimize some of the content that would otherwise require far too much time or be downright impossible to obtain doesn't mean any of those players are playing wrong.
Like, do you actually engage in content that requires talking to people?
The game isn't difficult, if I want to play the game for item hunting, loot, for doing hard content I'll go play a game that has better netcode, that has better loot. I'm here for the social interaction and if the game and community as a whole thinks of that in an mmo to have social interaction is secondary. Then what am I here for?
You're collecting achievements to show off to who? You don't care about social interaction so who cares what you have collected? You have titles like Epic Hero and Ultimate Legend but again you don't care about social interaction so no one will care you have those, your housing, your glams no one cares what you have collected and what you look like because you don't care for social interaction.
You see how your thinking leads to the game being nothing.
>Man I wish jobs were more diverse and fun again >Someone asks for a good example >Well, my fondest memory was when I was able to grief MNKs out of TP with my abilities and wipe entire Alliance Raids for laughs.
job diversity is such a weird point to hammer for so long
the longer people talk about it the harder it boils down to "i want DoTs and cleric stance back and i want ninja to manage my tank aggro again and i want strength materia back and actually just give me heavensward classic"
Do you seriously are naive enough to think some shitty ass fates have enough complexity or depth to offer meaningful social interactions?
Shouting "LFG" over and over again doesn't count as a meaningful social interaction, nor is it fun.
People abuse blue mage on this kind of events because grinding it "the legit way" is nothing but a dumb chore that no sane person would ever commit itself willingly.
Hit the nail on the head, they want social interaction but they don't want to put in any effort to do so unless compelled/ forced.

>group up with 7 other people and you all get the legendary medal by working together >or use blu and only get it for yourself and frustrate 7 other people
It's definitely a mindset difference people like you have versus myself.
But I party up with 7 other blus and non blus so we can clear stuff asap, your made up scenario makes zero sense also all worlds have fate parties up in the pf so only yourself to blame.
Hey thanks to blues fates are going faster, you only need silver for the fricking medal. Literally hit two monsters and leave.
Or. You know. Level up a blue.
Yea only fates that even die super fast at the ARR fates because they can get two tap by missiles going off think everything HW+ can’t get nuked like that
I don't see a reason why I should feel bad for using blue, especially after the major pain in the ass that it is to unlock all of its kit.
I'm not an butthole, I don't go about ultravibrating bosses so everyone skips the fate, but you can't be mad at me for freezing all the monsters and then leaving you an even easier kill.
What is the context for this
am I the only one who thinks it takes away from how advanced and modern amaurot seemed by just having a city like this in the current world?
>am I the only one who thinks it takes away from how advanced and modern amaurot seemed by just having a city like this in the current world?
Honestly, yeah?
Allag was technically more advanced technologically and the Omicrons definitely were. Karellians as well.
Amaurot wasn't meant to be technologically advanced, even though it looked kind of like an Art-Deco fairly modern city. You must remember that the Amaurotines aren't a technologically inclined race, because they are able to use magic to get what other races would need to develop with tech.
Amaurot struck me as culturally advanced but not technologically so. We didn't see much tech from them until later with Kairos in Elpis which is also mostly a justification for Emet-Selch being able to uplift Allag and Garlemald, supporting evidence that they weren't technologically illiterate. They're wizards so powerful that they enabled a post-scarcity society, they could just imagine a sandwich if they were hungry, after all what use for tech would they really have in 99.99% of circumstances?
And even then Allag was probably higher up technologically than the Ancients were, they figured out aetherochemistry which was largely a fancy term for magitek, but was dangerously close to a mechanical version of creation magic towards its end. There's no telling how much of Kairos was actually mechanical and how much was magical, too.
I got the Jibanyan minion. Apparently this event wants you to have access to Heavensward and Stormblood to 100% it. So I'm just continuing along with the MSQ and blue quests instead.
Yeah, so the StB/ShB weapons (RDM/SAM/GNB/DNC) were added when the event came back for the third time in 2020, so HW/StB zones were used for that.
That's why speedran through the MSQ with my free trial character cause I wanted to complete it with her. Got WAR to 70 also and decked her out in i400 Scaevan gear.
>decked her out in i400 Scaevan gear.
comfy... i don't care if it makes me autistic, i like the gear treadmill in MMOs. soon my dragoon girl will be strong AND cool!
You do NOT understand i need my social interaction, i need people to flood the shout channel with LFG or random sex talk and other kind of nonsense because that's hecking wholesome and gives the game a breath of fresh air taking me back to my highschool days.
It's so strange to me that having an active chat in an mmo creates this allergic reaction in you. In an mmo, people interacting with people is strange to you? What the frick?
Same people who will go to a social event where everyone is having fun, take pictures, then post here that everyone at the event is cringe and needs to go away lol
When i look for "social interaction" i look for meaningful social interaction, the kind that secures me a friend or at least an acquaintance i can contact on the regular to get shit done, not some shitty hedonist sex talk to validate my fetishes or spamming the same 3 letters just to get a group.
post you're FFXIV compliments to prove you're a cultist
"cultist" really just seems to boil down to "you like game i dont"
I thought it was a xiv-exclusive pejorative but i've seen it in some other threads too
XIV is where it's hung around the longest because of how fricking old the average thread troll's meme lexicon is
To my knowledge it started as a shazamposter thing

Sad. Do they just operate on pastas, or something?
Has anybody made a speed hack plugin for Dalamud? When Fall Guys comes back I used Speeder which had a toggle feature I used to cheat subtly for the achievements.
So curious if there is a free one instead.
social interaction in mmos isn't the way it used to be because the games are bad
but because back when mmos first became popular, they were above everything else also a primary way to meet and keep in contact with people
shit like discord has supplanted that
it'll never return
exactly. The golden age of MMOs were when the concept of mass online play was still novel. The advent of social media, 3rd party communication services, and multiplayer being common has lead to MMOs no longer providing the social atmosphere it once had

>Literally every FF ever >Starts off as some guy with a sword in fantasyland (except 7) >Eventually runs into an ancient advanced space faring civilization >I cant believe FF would do this
Even then FF7 mostly just reverses the direction, An Ancient Civilization was guys with swords in fantasyland and modern day is an advanced contemporary civilization with little or no magic
Other than StB, the final zone has always been the biggest "wtf" moment. I assume the same will apply to DT.
Unless it apes Stormblood more than we expect and it has a Lochs-tier final zone. (Pls no.)
It's the same gameplay and story purpose as Eulmore, second-to-last zone. Same as how Eulmore was shown off but not Amaurot, or how Azys La wasn't shown off in Heavensward.
This was fun.
Shame there was no real playable segment to it. With the way they were explaining it in the quest, I was certain it'd be a playable race.
Pretty widespread in my experience but 50%+ of people just have a funny dance or a custom hairstyle. If you hang out with nightclub types they will all have heavily modded characters.

14/17 weapons now, amazing how much faster it is. All that's left are the Outer La Noscea ones, which I saved for last because of the infinite looping Beast Tribe FATEs with no downtime.
If it is a "civilization" comparable to Allag, then why has it never been mentioned anywhere?
I believe Solution 9 has been created more recently than people think
Who knows. Maybe the main part of it that we see is a simulation being supported by the structure around it that feeds on the passive levin in the air.
The New World is pretty much a mystery to everyone in the Old World besides a few select people that bothered to explore over there. Aldenard, Othard and Meracydia are a mythical Eurasia + Japan & China that didn't immediately colonize the absolute shit out of everything it saw on the open waters
Sharlayan does seem to have a lot of literature on the New World.
But even they don't seem to know anything about Solution 9, even though it doesn't seem to be hidden at all geographically
Solution 9 is a civilization from the 12th shard that enacted a plan to escape their destroyed world after the calamity there created an eternal storm. They teleported their capital to the source, which would explain why the surrounding lands of Heritage Found is still impacted by said storms also being aetherically transferred.
That's a good idea. But the lightning aspected rejoining happened thousands of years ago, which begs the question why this civilization didn't have more impact on the world.
Maybe it's because time between the shards is weird, and they only arrived on the Source recently.
we needed a new advanced civilization that aren't allagans
The few images and the videos shown let us see that the ancients' alphabet is used inside the city so it's likely the brain child of one of the remaining ascians. Perhaps one that had a reincarnation who decided to stop chasing after Zodiark and built a new civilization or was preparing a fail safe solution if something went wrong during the aether switcharoo between ancients' aether to newlife aether inside Zodiark..
In the raid preview image you can clearly make out the symbol which shows the "hands" and the horns like center top part of Altima's crest. I assume Altima had some hand in developing their civilization and maybe the calamity too. Altima has also not been accounted for directly.
Interestingly, Altima and Deudalaphon were exactly those Ascians that were "supposedly" killed by Gaius.

It also goes without saying that Altima's sigil is fashioned after the 'other' ivalice Ultima, the totema/patron of the nu mou in TA. While Ultima in Orbonne initially resembles this design, it's clearly not the same thing. Altima/Ultima also does not have a parallel scion name, unlike Lahabrea to Mateus, etc. Zodiark didn't have one either, until Elidibus was made for FFXIV.
Given that the ending of Pandemonium is clearly setting up future conflicts regarding Ultima's existence, Altima could likely be the source or herald of them, or a new ally
>ascians
God I hope those are all dead and forgotten forever. Every time one of those morons showed up the storyline immediately tanked. Turns out it was the magic alien ghost all along! Look out! Give me a break.
>Every time one of those morons showed up the storyline immediately tanked.
Come on now.
Without the Ascians, the story wouldn't even exist.
And they have some of the most memorable characters in the entire game.
That's not even a question, no matter on which side of the Zodiark / Hydaelyn fence you stand.
They aren't all dead but since it's very likely that Emet was the only one who could pick their memories from the sea of souls to "awaken" their new reincarnation, any death of those remaining will likely be final now.
The number of people who autistically grind out shitty yokai weapons in ffxiv just because of fomo is literally higher than the number of people who actually give a shit about the yokai watch franchise. what a weird world we live in.

lala players be like 'you wanna mash this potato, don't you' when they look like that
Did all the minions day on as that was super fast, but doing two weapons a day. I'm not sure why people are sweating it out as the event is here for two months they're acting like it's disappearing within a week.
I’ve heard sage is the best healer. Scholar interests me because you have the fairy doing the healing which is more my speed, I play with controller and it’s annoying highlighting people to heal. Astrologian should be my favorite with what it looks like and does but I set up the controller layout and it’s a mess to learn
Sage has the better aesthetics between it and Scholar and its stack system makes a lot more sense, but it does play as kind of a halfway between White Mage and Scholar
The faerie doesn't actually do a lot of healing once you're out of ARR but picks up a deal again when you can transform it into Seraph
AST is the worst on controller, the others are fine.
The fairy doesn't do that much healing, you still need to be pressing your heal buttons. SGE and SCH will feel very similar to play, but it's harder to go wrong as SGE whereas SCH has some ways you can frick yourself over.
The hardest part of learning SGE is just reading tooltips, it's a very easy job to play.
I guess I’ll make an attempt to learn sage. I’ve already got a max level scholar, was hoping to do palace of the dead to learn how to play it. I’m really confused about sage but it might be better to go through palace and learn that too
>put kardia on the tank >Eukrasian Dosis every 30s >Dosis every 2.5s >press Kerachole before any damage >spot heal with Druochole >press random other buttons if you need more healing
I recommend just jumping straight into Sage and doing Holminster Switch, Sage's crux is the fact that it has defensive cooldowns and those come in excellently in handy. A very common pair-up for basically ignoring the tank for long periods in mob pulls is use Kerachole and then Haima for a shield effect with a heavy defensive boost on top of that. Just be careful you're not pissing off your DRK and wasting his TBN

I plau controller too, healing isn't hard on it.
Set R3 to swap to your target's target and 90% of the time you need to aim something at a tank it's effortless.
Even AST is fine, I'd just suggest looking up draw macros if you really want to learn it.
It's funny, the Blue Mage instakillers are basically the coding trannies but for FATEs. Everyone just puts up with them, pretending to be nice, because they're literally useful idiots. I join their party to get the quick insta kills for medals. Much like how I'm in Discords with trannies well versed with modding and game stuff, though I fricking despise them.
Shout out to Autumn Drake of Jenova being one of those useful idiots lmao. All I had to do was tag the mob with some tomahawks and he'd instakill and I got medals quickly.
Minions might some of the most horrible fates for a character to become.
Remember Vivi and how instead of being happy with Hildibrand and company he got turned into a minion that people barely even use.
>Month before new expansion >Too late
Not too late. You can play most of the game solo. Whether you will have fun or not is really up to your preferences
The 2020 nerfs for Yo-kai are insane. 9 weapons in less than 6 hours was a breeze. Welp, that was a fun goal for the Free Trial char, now I should resume my relic grinds for my main/main-alt in Hydatos. Need to average 144 crystals a day to be on pace before DT.
Talking about Solution 9 is it supposed to be the main city of the expansion or only the Revenant/Idylshire/Rhalgr/Eulmore/Radz? I feel like they should've kept it under wraps
>unlock Solution 9 >tech version of Amaurot theme plays >snarky Emet-Selch voiceover
You guys know it's going to happen, this game can't have a story thread that doesn't somehow tie back to the Ancients
it's like the people who cried about meteion when almost every big issue facing the people of the star (and even its reflections) is caused by an ancient/ascian in some way or another
Meteion as a final hazard was kinda lame because despite the scale and stakes it felt like there wasn't much to justify it but a really dumb science project. Hermes is technically the real big bad by causing all of it to begin with, yeah, but explaining away that "the random boss dude based off of an FF3 fight in the Crystal Tower was actually an Ascian that left a clone behind, and he was planning on killing everyone because they destroyed the Allagan kingdom he cherished on top of being really depressed and inwardly sociopathic in his Ancient life was the cause of the entire storyline" made it come off as the most contrived pile of linking random shit together to justify it all.
It was just lame, it "works" but it doesn't feel satisfying.
you queers meme about it, but that sperg wasn't wrong
EW struggles to justify any real action in the plot, which in turn leads to an unsatisfying story where every event needs a wikipedia article to explain why this thing that was never even hinted at before has actually existed all along

The weapons project wouldn't have been possible without Allag and the Garlean Empire.
Both were created / controlled by Ascians.
Ancients did it.

Lots of Allagan shit wouldn't have been possible without Omega turning up and enabling them to figure out the higher levels of aetherochemistry, including truly bringing Xande back from the dead
It is very explicitly the point that a lot of Allag's technology was not Emet's work at all and he had no idea they would get as high as they did, nor could he have guessed it

The point is that the Weapon's Project has been going on even before Solus' death, which means Elidibus and Emet knew about it, and approved it.

This does NOT sound kino. I don't wanna hear Emet-Selch's voice or see his homosexual face again.
I like Emet-Selch but they're leaning way too hard on the character and he's already starting to wear out his welcome. He was a cool villain with an understandable motivation and had a satisfying death. There was no need to introduce a time travel section where we hang out with him doing shenanigans in Elpis, or have him summoned back at the end of the story to save the day.
I bet we go to different reflections in the patches after the expansion drops, if not the final zone being a reflection itself but all fricked up or something

This is more proof that any 'fantasy' setting that drags on too long and outlasts its time will turn into sci-fi

Threadly reminder that FF has been fantasy meets scifi since the very first game.
Yep since FF1
>This is more proof that any 'fantasy' setting that drags on too long and outlasts its time will turn into sci-fi
I don't think you even know what Final Fantasy is.
Hey if you wanna defend your sci-fi game where everyone still lives in the third world, without basics like indoor plumbing then I understand. I'm just saying that every fantasy game eventually turns into sci-fi. Doesn't matter if its final fantasy or not if every game does it.

Actually that's the Island Sanctuary/Ishgardian Restoration equivalent of Dawntrail you're thinking of. Cosmic Exploration.
damn, I thought that was one and the same
do we actually know anything about the other one, then?
No, there's no info about the Field Operations thing other than "there wasn't one in Endwalker, but we're making one this time".
Doubt we'll know anything until launch. Then again it's surprising they gave the teasers they did for the raids already so who knows.

Is FF13 2 actually good?
I heard 13-2 and 3 are good but 1 is so mad that I dropped it a few hours in because none of the characters are like able other than sazh
All I can say is that Caius did nothing wrong.
13-2 is worse than 10-2 but it doesn't function on the basis of ruining a good game. Basically if you don't give a frick about 13 the worst thing about it is just being a weird retcon sequel that changes the entire dynamic of the setting.

Endwalker specifically mentioned there were four other etheirys like planets the loporrits new of and if you look at the concept image for the excursions the loporrit has a thought bubble showing four planets. Its just going to be uninhabited diadem shit again.
i wonder if the ragnarok will be stuck at each of those planets too. just imagine how many ragnaroks we'll have in 8.0
that shit still annoys me
why does the Ragnarok need to be in two places at once
we have in-universe teleporters
specifically designed for people who can't manipulate aether and therefore can't travel through the Lifestream normally
how hard would it have been to just go "oh yeah we invented a souped-up teleporter that can work across any distance"
they even did the teleportation experiment in the prologue, it could have called back to that
why do that when you can put a copy of the ship extradimensionally linked to its real self back on the source and explain it as "holy shit things work weird in ultima thule"
If this wasn't a video game then nobody would be able to return to Ultima Thule.

I love how they always showcase the art for these cus it looks nothing like this in game. It's so ugly, not even the graphics update will save it from forever looking like the ps3 title it is.

I've never played an MMO or a FF game. Should I try the free trial of this? I like the concept of MMOs but I have no friends, is there a good way to meet them in-game? Or is it a very loney experience as a singe player, does it just play like a single player game?
The MSQ (main-story quest) is pretty much a solo thing.
It gets group-based depending on what you are doing. You can do dungeons in a group and trials require a group, but those are basically you going into them, finishing them, and leaving. For actual group-based interaction, you'll have to seek it out. Most of it is at endgame, but you can facilitate some earlier on via like Palace of the Dead or Eureka.
It's very single-player focused, now more than ever. The story is primarily single-player, you will see lots of people in the over-world while doing ARR but there's not much reason to interact with them, you can do dungeons with others via matchmaking or just choose to do them with AI companions, I think trials (story boss fights) still require real players but that can be done via matchmaking as well. People don't chat much during duties, with the exception being alliance raids occasionally (24man optional content, also can be done via matchmaking) You don't get a state-mandated bestie or anything, its not particularly easy making friends in game but neither is it impossible I suppose
XIV is actually at its best as a single player experience. The playerbase are a bunch of mentally ill degenerates and the less interaction with them the better. As a single player FF game it's very good though, yes.
>The playerbase are a bunch of mentally ill degenerates and the less interaction with them the better.
qrd?
some people sit in a big city
and some use mods i dont have to see
and that scares me
>does it just play like a single player game?
You can play it as such, in face I would say this is where it excels. You'll get varying enjoyment out of the early arcs depending on your interests but it becomes more satisfying the further you progress.
what's so good about the story? would i just be better off playing another game as my first one (if so, what?)?
>Everyone can tell he is done with dark fantasy - everyone about Yoshi-P the last week

I embrace the purple and blue, Azys Lla might be the worst looking place in all of 14. Not even sure what the allagans were smoking, the internals of Dalamud looked fine.
Allag shit is always ugly as sin. You may like the inside of Dalamud, but I think the weird red metal and blue glows are sinfully obnoxious.
>now
that looks so different from literally any other place in the entire game that it's jarring. I can't believe people say it's the best MMO, it does only one thing right and that's dungeons. the story is completely jank, even by jrpg standards, the jobs have gotten so homogeneous that there's little difference between them, and the questing is some of the most mundane WoW tier shit.
xiv has a zillion types of advanced civilizations with different aesthetics
omicrons have their very own sci-fi aesthetic, loporrits have it, allagans have it, ancients (in their own way) have it, karellians have it
yadda yadda yadda
The worst part is that they never do anything with the settings, it's all typical theme park shit
Reminds me of some shovel ware k-mmos where in one area you have just some orcs in mud huts and the next area you have people wearing baseball jerseys riding horses and TV screens showing ads while displayed on a castle and people cooking food on some ye olde cast iron oven. It just exists but it's never brought up again
the cross class worlo open world zone meta
kate bozja mentioned the theme park scions must die for graphics update
>that looks so different from literally any other place in the entire game that it's jarring
It literallt does not. There are at least half a different locations in similar style. You're just a fricking moron that hasn't played the game
Close to leveling blu to max, what should I do afterwards? Other than get the spells
Get all of the tank mounts.
I only like pld and war, the others can kick rocks
Why do some shitty healers refuse to use Aspected Benefic or Regen, especially in dungeons? They're both 1500 pots, GCD's yes, but instant cast so you can even use them during movement. Take away half your workload.
>why is the moronic modern day videogame player a modern day moron?
uhhhh
They're are either newbies or they are old players who haven't realised that hots don't generate aggro anymore.
Wait HoTs don't generate aggro anymore? Since when?
I wanna say 6.2?
Don't know why enemies don't just have role based attack priorities at this point.
I miss the days when you could directly pump your HoT potency by stacking more VIT(which increased Enhancing Magic, which Regen fell under), as well as gear with direct increases to HoT spells.
Because most healer players are trying to play green dps.

I wish they hadn't spoiled this so openly. This would have been enough of a tone shift from what was expected that I think people would have genuinely lost their minds if they had experienced it within the game.
I can only assume that, in usual fashion, the actual final zone (mind you, Solution 9 is the Eulmore or Radz-At-Han of Dawntrail) will be even crazier.
which male race should i use the free fantasia on to have a girl(female) approach me?
>Yoshida is a huge mecha fan

cosmic exploration better give me a mecha mount
this was basically the only interesting thing about dawntrail
Why are they spoiling this? Why do asian game companies do this shit? Hoyoverse also spoils Genshin bosses and shit way ahead of time and ruins any surprise
because it's literally just the second hub of dawntrail the same way eulmore was in shadowbringers
Why did they even spoil Eulmore? Why not just stfu about the story outside of the starting premises
the first reactions to dawntrail were so tepid that they had to give out some interesting stuff to draw people in
Because it’s either not the full picture or not an important twist. That’s like asking “Why do they spoil Minfillia returning in the Shadowbringers trailer????”
Well maybe they shouldnt have
"spoilers" is a western thing. Just because you know Darth Vader is Lukes dad doesn't mean you cant enjoy the other hour and a half of the film.

Damn
really hard to be hyped about these areas when they're all empty squares with only a couple of landmarks that are shown in deceiving angles making them look bigger and more interesting than they really are
Kinda the same. It's heartbreaking to see a huge, sprawling city with skyscrapers and know that a 4x4 feet cube is all we're really getting to walk around in while the rest is just background fodder. I know they can't make an entire city and populate it with furniture and NPCs, but they can at least make the accessible area a little bigger. Open up like two or three skyscrapers. Have a connectiong bridge. Let us traverse one of those elevated highways, etc.
That's just how citys are though. If you go to a capital city like paris it's 90% private residences or company offices that you'll never get entry to, rest is shopping centers or recreational areas. Have you never been outside?

Final fantasy games have had scifi and future tech elements for decades. Have you been in a coma for 30 years or are you just underage?
>final fantasy Cyberpunk Tactics when?
Yes, but Final Fantasy XIV hasn't and it will make zero sense within the world and lore. Not that anyone cares because the people who don't care about the story, don't care about the story, and the people who do think the devs are geniuses and everything they do with the story is unmitigated brilliance that no one is to question.

Just because you are on BLU mage doesn't mean you HAVE to use the actions that basically frick over everyone else. You can, but you shouldn't be surprised when it pisses people off. It's like Rescuing someone into pits.
>WTF, I'm just using spells the game allows
Its pretty common sense really
It's not my problem other people refuse to do it the easy way, the game allows it, if the dev team had a problem with the way the spells are being used they would either change the spells or change how the fate system works, simple as that, i shouldn't be called a griefer and get massively reported just because some morons absolutely refuse to take part into the easiest way to farm an event.
>ah it's fine, we're never going to need a siren as a dungeon bo-
>ah it's fine, we're never going to need an aztec mythical creatur-
They've reused creature names before.
how is dragon quest event, does it involve fate farming too or...
hat looks funny
>Man I wish XIV had more social interactions in the overworld
>Event comes where everyone is interacting in the overworld
>Proceed to play in the most anti-social manner that makes everyone hate you
I'm enjoying the event, but it really is a preview of how the game is going to be in Dawntrail. All this new multiplayer content, Exploration zone and more large scale multiplayer focused stuff, yet the player base won't talk, they'll run in Blu-mage it and run out afraid to interact.
I've tried for over three days to get into groups by talking in the in game chat and not a single response. I see lots of players around don't get my wrong, but no one is talking in game.
They're all in Discord, linkshells or FC chat mainly discord.
Limited jobs were a mistake for this reason. They are intentionally overpowered so of course people will use them to grind what they can. Before they came out, people would group up to run FATEs. They still do somewhat, but the experience is soured by the BLUs and soon to be BST.
On my server I always see people shouting LFG for FATE grind. Maybe try travelling to a different server?
Pretty sure people still do that was shb and ew fates, when I was unlocking all 90 fates title I had like 3 or 4 other people with me and it’s even more at the start of the expansion
You can't blame people for using the tools that they're given. Why waste time when oneshotting mobs as BLU lets you finish the event faster?
I think it's a mindset of some people, for me I ask myself why am I playing an mmo? Is it for the achievements for the item hunting? Or is it for the interaction, for the experience that you can't find in other games.
I'm not playing for achievements, I really don't care for that, for minmaxing I think that mentality is what has killed the fun out of mmos.
The community is as much to blame as the devs, I will always use the Fallguys event as a way how moronic mmo players are, they took an event that was meant to be some casual fun with other people and they min maxed it to where there were raid guides people were using on second monitors for drop patterns on the final gauntlet run. They did that because they wanted the achievement, they don't care about social interaction.
It's not a community problem, it's literally a you problem. It's a "people are not playing how I want" kind of problem. The game offers a frickton of content, some is social and some is not, just because you saw people optimize some of the content that would otherwise require far too much time or be downright impossible to obtain doesn't mean any of those players are playing wrong.
Like, do you actually engage in content that requires talking to people?
The game isn't difficult, if I want to play the game for item hunting, loot, for doing hard content I'll go play a game that has better netcode, that has better loot. I'm here for the social interaction and if the game and community as a whole thinks of that in an mmo to have social interaction is secondary. Then what am I here for?
You're collecting achievements to show off to who? You don't care about social interaction so who cares what you have collected? You have titles like Epic Hero and Ultimate Legend but again you don't care about social interaction so no one will care you have those, your housing, your glams no one cares what you have collected and what you look like because you don't care for social interaction.
You see how your thinking leads to the game being nothing.
it really do be like that
>Man I wish jobs were more diverse and fun again
>Someone asks for a good example
>Well, my fondest memory was when I was able to grief MNKs out of TP with my abilities and wipe entire Alliance Raids for laughs.
job diversity is such a weird point to hammer for so long
the longer people talk about it the harder it boils down to "i want DoTs and cleric stance back and i want ninja to manage my tank aggro again and i want strength materia back and actually just give me heavensward classic"
Do you seriously are naive enough to think some shitty ass fates have enough complexity or depth to offer meaningful social interactions?
Shouting "LFG" over and over again doesn't count as a meaningful social interaction, nor is it fun.
People abuse blue mage on this kind of events because grinding it "the legit way" is nothing but a dumb chore that no sane person would ever commit itself willingly.
Heck it's not even abuse, it's literally the only thing BLU can do when it's not for farming mogtomes, and that got nerfed too.
How did it get nerfed? I thought they just made it easier to get tomes
Why is complexity necessary for social interaction?
You don't understand, I HAVE to grief everyone.
people who claim to want social interaction in mmos rarely do anything to try and get it
The truth is what they really want is FORCED social interaction
Hit the nail on the head, they want social interaction but they don't want to put in any effort to do so unless compelled/ forced.
They 100% the type of homosexuals to want open world pvp and gank newbies
NTA but I was legitimately about to say "it reminds me of those people who say they want world PvP and then it boils down to them just wanting to grief lowbies with impunity."
yes
and more importantly, the type of interaction where they feel they have power
>group up with 7 other people and you all get the legendary medal by working together
>or use blu and only get it for yourself and frustrate 7 other people
It's definitely a mindset difference people like you have versus myself.
But I party up with 7 other blus and non blus so we can clear stuff asap, your made up scenario makes zero sense also all worlds have fate parties up in the pf so only yourself to blame.
Hey thanks to blues fates are going faster, you only need silver for the fricking medal. Literally hit two monsters and leave.
Or. You know. Level up a blue.
Yea only fates that even die super fast at the ARR fates because they can get two tap by missiles going off think everything HW+ can’t get nuked like that
The HW fates are where the frickwits grouping to ultravibrate are.
Yea but at that point they got dynamic fates right so a blu can’t just nuke stuff?
anything to hide the dogshit ugly engine
I don't see a reason why I should feel bad for using blue, especially after the major pain in the ass that it is to unlock all of its kit.
I'm not an butthole, I don't go about ultravibrating bosses so everyone skips the fate, but you can't be mad at me for freezing all the monsters and then leaving you an even easier kill.
Yea nobody complains about that. More talking about BLUs deleting enemies before anyone else can get credit for the FATE
What is the context for this
am I the only one who thinks it takes away from how advanced and modern amaurot seemed by just having a city like this in the current world?
>am I the only one who thinks it takes away from how advanced and modern amaurot seemed by just having a city like this in the current world?
Honestly, yeah?
Allag was technically more advanced technologically and the Omicrons definitely were. Karellians as well.
Amaurot wasn't meant to be technologically advanced, even though it looked kind of like an Art-Deco fairly modern city. You must remember that the Amaurotines aren't a technologically inclined race, because they are able to use magic to get what other races would need to develop with tech.
Amaurot struck me as culturally advanced but not technologically so. We didn't see much tech from them until later with Kairos in Elpis which is also mostly a justification for Emet-Selch being able to uplift Allag and Garlemald, supporting evidence that they weren't technologically illiterate. They're wizards so powerful that they enabled a post-scarcity society, they could just imagine a sandwich if they were hungry, after all what use for tech would they really have in 99.99% of circumstances?
And even then Allag was probably higher up technologically than the Ancients were, they figured out aetherochemistry which was largely a fancy term for magitek, but was dangerously close to a mechanical version of creation magic towards its end. There's no telling how much of Kairos was actually mechanical and how much was magical, too.
11/17 weapons so far, how's your Yo-kai prog going? It's so much damn faster than the first two times when I did it on my main two chars.
3 and I honestly don’t even feel like doing them
I got the Jibanyan minion. Apparently this event wants you to have access to Heavensward and Stormblood to 100% it. So I'm just continuing along with the MSQ and blue quests instead.
Yeah, so the StB/ShB weapons (RDM/SAM/GNB/DNC) were added when the event came back for the third time in 2020, so HW/StB zones were used for that.
That's why speedran through the MSQ with my free trial character cause I wanted to complete it with her. Got WAR to 70 also and decked her out in i400 Scaevan gear.
>decked her out in i400 Scaevan gear.
comfy... i don't care if it makes me autistic, i like the gear treadmill in MMOs. soon my dragoon girl will be strong AND cool!
15/17 done I only need the stb ones
Hanging out in Azim Steppe and also getting my shb relic drops too.

Anon..
Their fault for naming it that
doing old ass fates are neither content nor an event
You do NOT understand i need my social interaction, i need people to flood the shout channel with LFG or random sex talk and other kind of nonsense because that's hecking wholesome and gives the game a breath of fresh air taking me back to my highschool days.
It's so strange to me that having an active chat in an mmo creates this allergic reaction in you. In an mmo, people interacting with people is strange to you? What the frick?
Same people who will go to a social event where everyone is having fun, take pictures, then post here that everyone at the event is cringe and needs to go away lol
the obvious intention of his post is "i want the active chat to be the same active chat i was experiencing in high school"
When i look for "social interaction" i look for meaningful social interaction, the kind that secures me a friend or at least an acquaintance i can contact on the regular to get shit done, not some shitty hedonist sex talk to validate my fetishes or spamming the same 3 letters just to get a group.
BUT NOT THAT KIND OF INTERACTION THAT IS FOR TROONS I ONLY WANT "LFG" SPAM

for reference when he says "the average troll's memes are really old" he means most of them repeat shit from the heavensward days like it's still fact and try fairly hard to keep conversations centered around heavensward
Sad. Do they just operate on pastas, or something?
Has anybody made a speed hack plugin for Dalamud? When Fall Guys comes back I used Speeder which had a toggle feature I used to cheat subtly for the achievements.
So curious if there is a free one instead.
social interaction in mmos isn't the way it used to be because the games are bad
but because back when mmos first became popular, they were above everything else also a primary way to meet and keep in contact with people
shit like discord has supplanted that
it'll never return
exactly. The golden age of MMOs were when the concept of mass online play was still novel. The advent of social media, 3rd party communication services, and multiplayer being common has lead to MMOs no longer providing the social atmosphere it once had

What can I do? I’ve spent $650 on mods and now they might not get updated. Is there any way to decline the graphics upgrade?
I forgot people in this game are so full of brainrot they pay for mods.
usually in the form of commissions fwiw
i'd love to see some modbeast trying to take square to court over no longer being able to use their paid mods LMAO
Show us on the doll where the modbeast touched you
man why the frick do I get these gay retorts. i didn't even say anything like "wahhhh modbeasts destroyed the game" i just find them funny
NTA but why even bring them
Up? You can’t even see mod beast if you don’t have the mare code
because i find them stupid and like to laugh at them
i am not one of those gays who cries that the game is destroyed because it has modbeasts
but that doesn't mean i don't still make fun of modbeasts
that's the tip of the iceberg, starts out subscribing to patreons/kofis/discords, to people paying for bespoke mods that will never get released, secret circles, then just straight up buying hundreds of $ in comms because mods can no longer satisfy your vision for your sonic OC, except all the midlanders who seem ok with being minfilia clones.

lalafell ritualistic dance for "having a train run on them"
Humiliation Ritual.
It sure would be a shame if a fat titted lalafell were forced to dance naked in a public avenue.
why did they reveal this anyway?
wouldnt it just have been way cooler seeing this ingame without knowing about it before?
either there's something even bigger they're still hiding
or they don't give a shit anymore
Other than StB, the final zone has always been the biggest "wtf" moment. I assume the same will apply to DT.
Unless it apes Stormblood more than we expect and it has a Lochs-tier final zone. (Pls no.)
Because it's DT's Eulmore.
Because there's not enough hype around Dawntrail.
DT needs a hook for new players that says more about the expansion than just "Beach Episode"
It's the same gameplay and story purpose as Eulmore, second-to-last zone. Same as how Eulmore was shown off but not Amaurot, or how Azys La wasn't shown off in Heavensward.
Because they always reveal the endgame hub of an expac?

Shame there was no real playable segment to it. With the way they were explaining it in the quest, I was certain it'd be a playable race.
So how widespread is this mare shit? I just resubbed and the fc i joined uses it apperantly.
Pretty widespread in my experience but 50%+ of people just have a funny dance or a custom hairstyle. If you hang out with nightclub types they will all have heavily modded characters.

There is. Perhaps you missed it but he said in his post that it's a man pretending to be a woman. Mental illness and drama have destroyed a myriad of statics and these >people should be screened accordingly.
Filtering yourself out of a full static to impress Gankeroids that aren't watching does work pretty well.
there are no good trannies
my static is half female, half male, balanced, biological, hetero, assembled at random and only two girls sound hot and they're probably fat and ugly but they can clear uwu/ucob. not so much
*not so much DSR
14/17 weapons now, amazing how much faster it is. All that's left are the Outer La Noscea ones, which I saved for last because of the infinite looping Beast Tribe FATEs with no downtime.
Imagine avatar posting but forgetting the screenshot. Time to get lunch I suppose.
The better question is why the frick is that in XIV?
we needed a new advanced civilization that aren't allagans
that's cringe
If it is a "civilization" comparable to Allag, then why has it never been mentioned anywhere?
I believe Solution 9 has been created more recently than people think
Who knows. Maybe the main part of it that we see is a simulation being supported by the structure around it that feeds on the passive levin in the air.
The New World is pretty much a mystery to everyone in the Old World besides a few select people that bothered to explore over there. Aldenard, Othard and Meracydia are a mythical Eurasia + Japan & China that didn't immediately colonize the absolute shit out of everything it saw on the open waters
Sharlayan does seem to have a lot of literature on the New World.
But even they don't seem to know anything about Solution 9, even though it doesn't seem to be hidden at all geographically
It probably has a final fantasy viii Esthar style cloaking device keeping it hidden
>cloaking device keeping it hidden
I dunno, it seems to have a less advanced cowboy town right next to it / connected to it
Is that cloaked as well?
maybe that serves as the perfect cover thoughever
Solution 9 is a civilization from the 12th shard that enacted a plan to escape their destroyed world after the calamity there created an eternal storm. They teleported their capital to the source, which would explain why the surrounding lands of Heritage Found is still impacted by said storms also being aetherically transferred.
That's a good idea.
But the lightning aspected rejoining happened thousands of years ago, which begs the question why this civilization didn't have more impact on the world.
Maybe it's because time between the shards is weird, and they only arrived on the Source recently.
>that aren't Allagans
Still waiting on a confirmation on that one, myself.
The technological style to me points well away from it being Allagans
The few images and the videos shown let us see that the ancients' alphabet is used inside the city so it's likely the brain child of one of the remaining ascians. Perhaps one that had a reincarnation who decided to stop chasing after Zodiark and built a new civilization or was preparing a fail safe solution if something went wrong during the aether switcharoo between ancients' aether to newlife aether inside Zodiark..
Altima moment.
This is why I believe Deudalaphon is involved.
>Deudalaphon, the Innovator - Appraiser of architecture and patron of invention.
Interestingly, Altima and Deudalaphon were exactly those Ascians that were "supposedly" killed by Gaius.
In the raid preview image you can clearly make out the symbol which shows the "hands" and the horns like center top part of Altima's crest. I assume Altima had some hand in developing their civilization and maybe the calamity too. Altima has also not been accounted for directly.
It also goes without saying that Altima's sigil is fashioned after the 'other' ivalice Ultima, the totema/patron of the nu mou in TA. While Ultima in Orbonne initially resembles this design, it's clearly not the same thing. Altima/Ultima also does not have a parallel scion name, unlike Lahabrea to Mateus, etc. Zodiark didn't have one either, until Elidibus was made for FFXIV.
Given that the ending of Pandemonium is clearly setting up future conflicts regarding Ultima's existence, Altima could likely be the source or herald of them, or a new ally
>Zodiark didn't have one either, until Elidibus was made for FFXIV.
Elidibus is Zodiark's summoner in FFT.
I also believe that if Ascians appear in DT, they're gonna be allies this time.
>ascians
God I hope those are all dead and forgotten forever. Every time one of those morons showed up the storyline immediately tanked. Turns out it was the magic alien ghost all along! Look out! Give me a break.
>Every time one of those morons showed up the storyline immediately tanked.
Come on now.
Without the Ascians, the story wouldn't even exist.
And they have some of the most memorable characters in the entire game.
That's not even a question, no matter on which side of the Zodiark / Hydaelyn fence you stand.
They aren't all dead but since it's very likely that Emet was the only one who could pick their memories from the sea of souls to "awaken" their new reincarnation, any death of those remaining will likely be final now.

Is SCH a good job for a dps brainlet
sage is better if you need to be pressing lots of buttons. when you get decent at healing switch to astrologian
I’ve heard sage is the best healer. Scholar interests me because you have the fairy doing the healing which is more my speed, I play with controller and it’s annoying highlighting people to heal. Astrologian should be my favorite with what it looks like and does but I set up the controller layout and it’s a mess to learn
Sage has the better aesthetics between it and Scholar and its stack system makes a lot more sense, but it does play as kind of a halfway between White Mage and Scholar
The faerie doesn't actually do a lot of healing once you're out of ARR but picks up a deal again when you can transform it into Seraph
I guess I’ll make an attempt to learn sage. I’ve already got a max level scholar, was hoping to do palace of the dead to learn how to play it. I’m really confused about sage but it might be better to go through palace and learn that too
>put kardia on the tank
>Eukrasian Dosis every 30s
>Dosis every 2.5s
>press Kerachole before any damage
>spot heal with Druochole
>press random other buttons if you need more healing
ez
I recommend just jumping straight into Sage and doing Holminster Switch, Sage's crux is the fact that it has defensive cooldowns and those come in excellently in handy. A very common pair-up for basically ignoring the tank for long periods in mob pulls is use Kerachole and then Haima for a shield effect with a heavy defensive boost on top of that. Just be careful you're not pissing off your DRK and wasting his TBN
AST is the worst on controller, the others are fine.
The fairy doesn't do that much healing, you still need to be pressing your heal buttons. SGE and SCH will feel very similar to play, but it's harder to go wrong as SGE whereas SCH has some ways you can frick yourself over.
The hardest part of learning SGE is just reading tooltips, it's a very easy job to play.
I plau controller too, healing isn't hard on it.
Set R3 to swap to your target's target and 90% of the time you need to aim something at a tank it's effortless.
Even AST is fine, I'd just suggest looking up draw macros if you really want to learn it.
There should be more outfits with boob windows (that also aren't modern trash)

It's funny, the Blue Mage instakillers are basically the coding trannies but for FATEs. Everyone just puts up with them, pretending to be nice, because they're literally useful idiots.

Shout out to Autumn Drake of Jenova being one of those useful idiots lmao. All I had to do was tag the mob with some tomahawks and he'd instakill and I got medals quickly.
If XIV was a single player game Meteion would have joined the Scions and lived with the main protagonist as a little sister character.

You guys know it's going to happen, this game can't have a story thread that doesn't somehow tie back to the Ancients
a bunch of guys want shadowbringers 2 so goddamned bad and it's just not happening
The Ascians aren't all accounted for yet, but that doesn't mean Emet is coming back.
>A story that is built entirely on the Ancients can't function without the Ancients
Why is this surprising?
it's like the people who cried about meteion when almost every big issue facing the people of the star (and even its reflections) is caused by an ancient/ascian in some way or another
Meteion as a final hazard was kinda lame because despite the scale and stakes it felt like there wasn't much to justify it but a really dumb science project. Hermes is technically the real big bad by causing all of it to begin with, yeah, but explaining away that "the random boss dude based off of an FF3 fight in the Crystal Tower was actually an Ascian that left a clone behind, and he was planning on killing everyone because they destroyed the Allagan kingdom he cherished on top of being really depressed and inwardly sociopathic in his Ancient life was the cause of the entire storyline" made it come off as the most contrived pile of linking random shit together to justify it all.
It was just lame, it "works" but it doesn't feel satisfying.
that all seems a little convenient
you queers meme about it, but that sperg wasn't wrong
EW struggles to justify any real action in the plot, which in turn leads to an unsatisfying story where every event needs a wikipedia article to explain why this thing that was never even hinted at before has actually existed all along
Very convenient if you ask me.
A little contrived, even.
>built entirely on the Ancients
Since SHB
The Ancients have been fundamental to XIV's worldbuilding since ARR.
We just used to call them Ascians back then.
You are playing dumb.
Oh please. Ascians were just Kingdom Hearts mystery Black person bad guys.
so now we're arguing about intent? What the frick do you people want
Lore that doesn't suck. We used to have it. Ishitkawa took a dump all over it.
you're years late if you don't like the ancient story, christ alive you're a fricking gay and that's saying something in this community
Upsetting a shadowbaby doesn't worry me.
its like groundhog day with you people, keep harping like a homosexual
There are still things to enjoy like Welyt, things that aren't just the ancients did it
>There are still things to enjoy like Welyt, things that aren't just the ancients did it
The weapons project wouldn't have been possible without Allag and the Garlean Empire.
Both were created / controlled by Ascians.
Ancients did it.
Lots of Allagan shit wouldn't have been possible without Omega turning up and enabling them to figure out the higher levels of aetherochemistry, including truly bringing Xande back from the dead
It is very explicitly the point that a lot of Allag's technology was not Emet's work at all and he had no idea they would get as high as they did, nor could he have guessed it
The point is that the Weapon's Project has been going on even before Solus' death, which means Elidibus and Emet knew about it, and approved it.
I would imagine they approved it given that Garlemald is intended to be Allag 2.0, a warmongering empire desperately larping as Ancients
Literally nobody has praised what they did to the Twelve.
nooo bros how could they do this to these non-entities in the plot
>not everyone loves the shitty ancient lore
>doesn't count!

>doesn't care

Emetgays are like Emet himself. Mentally ill rejects who keep coming back to have the last word.
Funnily enough, even Emet, the queen of drama and self-aggrandizement himself, is more humble than the average Emetgay.
I like Emet-Selch but they're leaning way too hard on the character and he's already starting to wear out his welcome. He was a cool villain with an understandable motivation and had a satisfying death. There was no need to introduce a time travel section where we hang out with him doing shenanigans in Elpis, or have him summoned back at the end of the story to save the day.
