As much of a homosexual as Jeff Kaplan was, he appeared to be a good director when he was director of Overwatch.
It could be a coincidence that it took a nose-dive shortly after he quit, but it's a known fact that he had to push them to follow-through with the PVE campaign that they later cancelled.
I get the impression game dev humbled him to a degree. He probably realized a lot of the stuff he was demanding was not easy at all to get done, and also realized that you had to be diplomatic to get the best out of people (or at least regular working people rather than the likeminded poopsockers he was used to).
>GMs that will ban you for the most asinine of reasons
I've never had any problems or even interactions with GMs. Maybe stop typing like you're on Ganker?
do you remember that brief stretch of time where people started posting "the nagger fallacy" complaining that it was an unfair assumption that bringing a ban to Ganker to complain about it meant you'd posted nagger nagger nagger in global chat
if you don't remember that it's because the organized effort to push it died when it turned out they had in fact been banned for spamming obscenities
I've literally seen them in the thread before, we had a 2-3 week long tirade by one of them recently, turns out he was getting into political arguments in novice network and spamming dozens and dozens of reports on people as well as stalking them.

And therein lies the problem with Square-Enix's policies regarding bans. They never give you the exact reason. They can ban you for whatever fucking reason they deem necessary, and you have to sit there and take it. Xenos himself complained about this. Yes, the e celeb you little zoomers love to worship and adore so much. It's kind of hard to learn from your mistakes if you don't even know what mistake you made in the first place.

I just want more bozja/eureka content. While im still on the second to last stage for like 80% of the weapons I still got that far atleast back in endwalker and had something to do. But I would still want them to do something different compared to the last two steps which are nearly impossible to finish after the content is released.
what is the point of gear in this game
all it does is inorganically enforce a you must be this tall to enter rule. i was doing bozja recently and i realized that the concept of gear in this game is entirely worthless, you could just have every duty hardsync you to the ilvl the devs want you to play at like bozja and it would make ZERO difference. there are no builds, there are no armor skills, weapon abilities and traits, everything is number go up
>oldfags have just been eating shit for ten years
great argument
The point of gear is literally just trivializing mechanics
What else would it do in a game without specs or leveling stats
that already happens via echo. gear is just redundant. if the devs want the content trivalized, they literally just add a 200% power up buff the moment you step your foot in like modern eureka
>be crazy ass motherfuckers doing dumb or weird shit >get punished for doing dumb or weird shit >accuse every service that punishes them of being a goy conspiracy
every time
You break the terms and agreements, you get punished. If you're incapable of acting like a human being don't get upset when others don't want to deal with your animal self.
I have never had any problems with the GMS in FFXIV and I've been playing it for years. Of course I also don't talk and act like I'm on Ganker while I'm playing it.
Correction: I got banned for reporting myself getting kicked from the NN multiple times for weeks on end for no reason whatsoever. This would fall under: >harassment >bullying >excluding a player from game activities >abuse of kick function >myriad other ToS violations
Basically, you're a huge homosexual who hasn't read the agreement.
This is the same anon who thinks the police have never made a single false arrest in the history of the police force. In any country. Ever.

Opt-in chat system for mentors and new players (sprouts) intended as, obviously, a mentor system, but in practice it ends up as a global chat (the game has never been difficult enough outside of Savage to need a mentoring system) that's moderated by the mentors that use it.
It's a chatroom designed for new players to hang out in and get help from mentors. In practice it's a place where mentors hang out and attentionwhore and get into highschool tier drama.
Estinien is the worst piece of shit character in this entire game. He basically nullifies the need for the player character half the time and they use him to do shit that they're too fucking lazy to do unique class animations for the WoL for killing big enemies. I have no fucking clue what his motivation as a character is, if they ever explain it it's entirely forgettable. Him being in the story actually makes playing DRG feel like shit because he basically just does everything you can do but better, they even wrote in an excuse for him to be able to fight against Primals which was the WoL's entire schtick making your character feel redundant in later expacs.
Child, people have been saying shit like "Get down off your cross" since before you were an itch in your daddy's nutsack. You fetuses think The Simpsons, Family Guy, and X invented everything that exists
A few weeks ago I apparently opened a bunch of anons' minds that there were gay parodies and rewrites of rap songs and that gay parodies of other peoples' music has been a thing for decades.
People have said it forever but I've never seen it used on Ganker until yesterday and now I see it routinely. So I assume it's the hot new twitter phrase.
i say "christ on the cross" sometimes because it was a killphrase that kills the main character in a peter watts novel I read a decade ago and I secretly hope it will also induce grand mal seizures in people but it never does

XIV has become a lot more second life since Shadowbringers mods were nice and grounded but every FC I enter these days has a "syncshell" then every character is some fucking shitty looking cyberpunk cat or huge boring looking Viera with muscles, and all the men are the same TBSE-X "I think I am an alpha male" shite. VFX mods ruined the game along with animation mods. No one ever wants to do anything other than stand around a house they never enter and go to "nighclubs" filled with the same shitty people and a DJ that just puts on a YouTube playlist and is streaming themselves using mods to boot it's always a guy and its always a slutty catgirl.
>No one ever wants to do anything other than stand around a house they never enter and go to "nighclubs"
It sounds like more a you and the FC you're in problem. There are plenty of groups on PF right now doing Ultimate progs, there were 150 PF's a few hours ago, there are 1k PF's on the chink servers I might try out there for a laugh.
I didn't play FFXI so I'm watching Youtube videos covering the story and game. I'm so confused by it, then again the people I've watched who made videos are so fucking bad at it, they don't ever stop talking to take in a breath and I have no idea who the fuck is who.
If you want to watch the story I believe at least one person has full expansion storylines recorded, every cutscene and conversation, and it's fairly well put together with no commentary.
The game doesn't hold your hand through understanding the story and in Chains of Promathia they even intentionally make it confusing and feed you misinformation and multiple different interpretations of the events on purpose. And there's a ton of other context in side content like the job quests too. I can imagine it's shit to watch on youtube.
FFXI's story is very mediocre. Playing it (back in the days when it was current content) felt great since it was genuinely hard to progress due to how hostile the entire game was. I played through all stories this year and there are some genuinely cool things in Chains and Wings, but the base game story, Zilart and Treasures are pretty bad. The final one Rhapsodies is very dependant on how you enjoyed the other plots. I hope the raid armours will borrow the AF design from XI, but I have 0 hope they will seeing we didn't even get god specific armours in the current 24 man.
Do you recommend watching a full playthrough of the story or someone giving a synopsis style overview? Is it a story that can be told easily or do you need full explanation for every small detail or you won't understand the part later in the story?

The overall story is simple enough to understand but there's also a ton of character specific stuff you won't fully understand without doing side quests or having someone fill you in.

Yes, AU was cool as a concept, the the plot just fizzled. Like "Oh no the grand vizier is the bad man, the puppeteering girl is the empress WHO WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT ONE COMING?" Aphmau was pretty weak as well. Only good thing was Naja in all of that.
I often think about resubbing for the hell of it. I haven't played this game in years. I have friends who ask me about it sometimes, if I still play, and I would say not at the moment.
As if they are interested in playing as well, but when I offer to play with them they usually give some half assed excuse. They are generally good lads though and if they won't join, neither will I. I'd rather not interact with some of the people who make this game their life.
>pvp in cc >stun a dude with chains while he is busy fighting someone else >he clears the stun with purify so fast it doesn't even register an animation for the stun
Hmmmmmm
I'd resub if the game actually played like a MMO but it shares more in common with visual novels than a MMORPG like Everquest or WoW or UO. As a game it fucking sucks.
>muh instanced housing that has absolutely no affect on gameplay
Meanwhile in FFXIV when you run out of storyfag shit, you have nothing to do but raid. At least we have an open world.
That's only like 10% of the game's content I think. I'm in Stormblood and I'd recommend Heavansward
i played XIV up until second coil of bahamut. am i missing out.
150 hours later I completed Heavensward and post patches. I can confirm that it does not in fact "get better" and I hear Stormblood is a regression from heavensward and I thought that shit was fucking boring too.
I'd recommend it, it's really easy to level up and just go through the story nowadays.
I would much rather play XI than XIV 2.0 from what I remember at least it was a MMORPG.
An open World to do what? It's not used, I've played WoW and people do the same in that game as in FFXIV they afk in the player hubs and raid.
At least with FFXIV the world is connected to the story, in WoW you can have a cataclysmic event happening in the story, meanwhile in the World there is no consequence, no difference, no change. Traders are still there, you can go everywhere still, travel routes are still open, the story has boats being destroy, the Maw for example had entire fleets sucked under, back in the Open World you can still get on a boat and travel through it no problem.
I have never played a game so disconnected from the gameplay and story. Even Warhammer40k knows the story is just fluff, yet it's the books are more involved to the tabletop than WoW is with it's own story. Two different mediums in Warhammer40k has more connection than WoW with it's internal story telling. Fuck me does that game's writers suck shit at story telling as well, and now Metzen the hero is back? The guy who was caught Googling himself to see if he was implicated in the sex scandals when that all dropped, the hero returns to tell an overarching story? Look at his bookshelf, is Tolkien front and center? No, it's Marvel comics. You're going to get a Marvel superhero tier story with WoW characters where your own adventurer is nowhere to be seen. Holy shit are WoW addicts completely retarded and what's more they're selling them at $90 for each "expansion" (in reality it's one patch split into three expansion) $270 for the WoW story alone not including sub time, they don't even include one month sub in the price of the expansion KEK .

I've been playing MMOs since UO. I have never played a "MMO" like that. 6.X is literally >24 hours of cutscenes.
That guy is a shitposter who doesn't play or know anything about XI or XIV, you are no better than he is.
And that's fine but don't act like I'm fucking lying when I call FFXIV a storyfag visual novel-tier game instead of a MMO because it's not. It becomes one after hundreds of hours of mandatory MSQ (that they conveniently sell skips for).

That's why it's so successful you retard, it doesn't work for you so play the other game. It works for others. It's nice to have options on the market instead of everything being WoW. Yes I know FFXIV was a WoW clone for ARR, but that was the base game we're moving into our fifth expansion. If it's not jelling with you by now it never will. You're complaining FFXIV is not WoW and upset people are calling you a retard. Think about your life choices where you are unable to connected the dots that two games in the same genre does not equate to being the same game.
So FFXIV is successful because it is a single player visual novel masquerading as a MMORPG? I don't care that FFXIV is successful. I am upset that you Japanophile homosexuals lied to me and wasted 150 hours of my time by saying "it gets better and opens up". No it doesn't in fact I would say it became even more railroaded into its shitty jRPG visual novel-tier storytelling that you HAVE to complete OR pay to skip.

At least XI is part of the genre it claims to be a part of. XIVcucks are paying a subscription to access hundreds of hours of (shit) visual novel homosexualry.
anon, shouldn't you be playing hardcore wow and rebuilding your character that died to a d/c?
I don't play WoW. I play EVE and Warhammer: Return of Reckoning. The collective "we".
>just skip the cutscenes and do hundreds of hours of mandatory questing without any context
This is a retarded argument and you're a retard for parroting it. Retard. Fuck you.
I played 150 hours of FFXIV. It was "teleport here talk to this guy *cutscene using /emotes* teleport across continent talk to this guy *cutscene* now pick grass at three nodes while avoiding mobs because you don't have enough skills for combat to be enjoyable turn in quest *cutscene* over and over and over again
I've been playing MMOs since UO. I have never played a "MMO" like that. 6.X is literally >24 hours of cutscenes.

Here's proof. Look at the top of my image.
>I play EVE
Ah yes, the award-winning story of EVE online. Presented to you by 45 year old retired air force vets larping on voice chat with people that failed out of MEPS
My only complaint about FFXIV is the cutscenes were designed as if your character is a martial class like tank or MDPS.
Sometimes i dont wana punch a MF i just wana blast them with a delete spell and stare at them as they turn to ash and fade from existence.
Just don't put fucking achievements like that into the game. Like holy fuck it should be a fun mode, there is no reason to do that. Also ppl who care for achievements and titles are fucking weird.
>Don't add a reason to do them.
You could I don't know... do it for fun and work towards it?
You don't need the title in a fucking day.
Meta fags also need to fuck off too.
FFXI wasn't like this and even when they were doing story shit, there was actual gameplay between those moments.
>Open world quests, world bosses, crafting, world events, a world that feels lived in rather than a static map that NPCs are randomly dropped in.
XIV has all these, why are you lying so much?
>XIV has all these, why are you lying so much?
Done extremely poorly and the world is static as fuck there's never anything going on and the world looks like this. Don't pretend like the XIV community hasn't been asking for better open worlds and questing zones since ARR.
Do you whine about every other FF game ever made having cutscenes?
>FFXI wasn't like this
FFXI has a shitload of cutscenes, there's not even a skip button like XIV has. And just like XIV the endgame activities are locked behind finishing the MSQ. You can't get to Tu'lia or Al'taeiu without getting through dozens of hours of story first.
>20 year old ps2 mmo has actual cutscenes >biggest mmo in the world in 2023 has npc's standing in a circle emoting at one another
How did we get to this point?
How did we get to this point?
This is an old stale lie. I don't have the webm of the lalafells from 1.0 doing unique animations with some roes in a cutscene. Maybe someone does though. Its pure cost cutting after the failure of 1.0.
Endwalker finally got there. You got to punch Zenos and shake Zero's hand. Surely that is sufficient. Only took them ten fucking years to get over this.
It's not supposed to be a final fantasy game. It's supposed to be a final fantasy MMO with emergent gameplay.
>a world that feels lived in rather than a static map
Anon that is exactly what WoW does not have, the maps are completely static that is what the other anon is referring to saying how it's not at all connected to the story beats, are you retarded?. How blind to nostalgia are you?
You are fucking delusional if you think FFXIV's map design is comparable to what Dragonflight or Guild Wars 2 are doing. FFXIV's open world is simply a stage for their cutscenes and fetch quests. There's nothing else going on, ever.
>FFXIV's open world is simply a stage for their cutscenes
You're admitting the open world in FFXIV is connected to the story right there you absolute fucking retard.
11 was awful in that. Between the unskippable cutscenes, not being able to forward the dialogue until Tarutaru were finished with their emotes to "RETURN THE NEXT VANADIEL DAY" it was a fucking slog most of the time.

I've played about three hours of Dragonflight and I've already done more MMO-y things with a fresh start character than I did in 150 hours of FFXIV. Say what you will about Blizzard but at least they still make massively multiplayer online roleplaying GAMES instead of endless cutscene shit.
yet you're paying a MMO's subscription for what is essentially a singleplayer game for 99% of the game's content

Oh shit, exactly like every MMO ever made. Why does this one in particular make you shit yourself into a frothing frenzy?
Weird, I do plenty of "emergent gameply" in XIV's open world, such as quests and fates and weeklies and other content. Not to mention running dungeons and raids and trials.

it's anything the players do that the devs did not account for in the game. chicken races outside the saucer, casinos, hide and seek, clubs, lala orchestra, shit like that. it's not necessarily good gameplay, just it's not dev controlled.
No FFXIV is getting broken by 20 year old WoW, it's done, the people who play the game are so far gone, the last thing they're holding on to is the hope that the game can somehow be saved under a guy who can only write Marvel tier stories. WoW is so broken, the playerbase is so bad the game itself has had to be split into 3 different versions because the current version failed that much during Shadowlands.
Meanwhile you want to see someone buck broken by FFXIV you look at

Their last good game was Diablo 2 and the people that made it left looooooong ago
At least that involves playing the game rather than loadscreen simulator where you're teleporting across continents to talk to NPCs for cutscenes... And here's what it looks like when you actually get to play the game for a change. One-three button "gameplay" with absolutely no difficulty until you start raiding 300+ hours into the game.
I feel bad for people that endure that experience. It probably takes 10+ minutes to kill those fuckers

nagger, have you ever heard of a false equivalence? Because fallacies aren't making a very good case here for you.
The equivalent of a mythic+ dungeon in FFXIV is still fucking boring looking. Bad animations, little to no importance for positioning when tanking and DPS is just button mashing.

How does people doing something that you can't see make you so seethingly angry?
Because the kind of people that this shit brings to the game makes every aspect of the game that they are involved in actively worse and I want them to be permanently removed from the game.
How do they make "everything" worse when as you keep screaming they only do one single thing in the game?

BEHOLD, Blizzard's finest achievement
A videogame they outsourced to Vicarious Visions because Blizzard cannot make anything good themselves; even if it's a remaster
Dragonflight is arguably the best expansion any MMO has put out in the past 15-20 years surpassing Guild Wars 2's Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire. Cope.
WOw lost
Hype for Metzen's return is through the roof and we got three expansions announced. Wtf are you talking about?

>It's unironically the WoW people who are keeping Savage and Ultimate PF's alive.
It is WoW homosexuals who hyperfocus on shit like world first and e-celebs. Back in ARR, HW and SB things were way more mellow. And to be fair, EWs biggest issue is that combat content is catered exclusively to Savage troons. Outside of Ex trials there is nothing for casual players.
Come on...you can like a game and still admit it has flaws. I've only played FF14 and it's overworld is completely dead. There's no reason to ever interact with it besides hunt trains. I played Runescape back in the day and it had a much more interactive overworld and you actually saw other players traversing it. If you're not in a current expansion hub or one of the three city states you're hardly ever going to see a soul.
I was hoping we would finally be rid of the scions after Endwalker but since that's not the case I'll be enjoying endgame stuff earlier than my friends thanks to skipping every cutscene.
i know a dude in world of warcraft who was like this homosexual who self inserts himself into every single yshtola picture, motherfucker owns currently like 30% of all blood elf porn drawings online and spent thousands upon thousands on this shit

>post patch in EW is actual dogshit tier
I don't think anything can be worse than Ala Mhigo stormblood shit or ARR. There's no way it's that bad. I'll have to see when I get to it
I rate it on par with ARR in how boring it was. Mind you this is based on MSQ and basic content. The Savage, Criterion, and Ultimate content was pretty fun, and I just finished the most recent crit savage, had a great time. It's still fine, but I didn't enjoy it as much as SHB post patch.
It's main problem is being a setup story, being too ham/power of friendship at points and being centered too much on a character that you aren't familiar with yet. The patch story isn't terrible by itself, but there isn't enough mystery that proceeds from it to make you want to see what comes after. Secondary content planning issues no doubt worsen the pstch MSQ perception as well (MSQ is dungeons and trial series; no other major story hooks; no grindy slow burn stories for players to drudge through slowly).
Endwalker isn't as good and I felt it ended the main story they have been working on well enough. It could have been better but for how bad so many other major stories have shit the bed at the end, EW was alright.
In XIV an expansion carries the full story and then the patches add extra, in XI when an expansion launched it only had part of the main story, the patches added the rest of the "msq".

By having no actual driving motivation the writers can steer her into whatever they need her to be interested in for the latest patch, it's brilliant really.
if you don't think Yshtola is sexy you may in fact be homosexual
There's nothing sexy or even remarkable about her. She's the most bland middle aged wine aunt anyone could possibly write.

Don't forget Ganker jannies that will also ban you.
As much of a homosexual as Jeff Kaplan was, he appeared to be a good director when he was director of Overwatch.
It could be a coincidence that it took a nose-dive shortly after he quit, but it's a known fact that he had to push them to follow-through with the PVE campaign that they later cancelled.
I get the impression game dev humbled him to a degree. He probably realized a lot of the stuff he was demanding was not easy at all to get done, and also realized that you had to be diplomatic to get the best out of people (or at least regular working people rather than the likeminded poopsockers he was used to).
>GMs that will ban you for the most asinine of reasons
I've never had any problems or even interactions with GMs. Maybe stop typing like you're on Ganker?
do you remember that brief stretch of time where people started posting "the nagger fallacy" complaining that it was an unfair assumption that bringing a ban to Ganker to complain about it meant you'd posted nagger nagger nagger in global chat
if you don't remember that it's because the organized effort to push it died when it turned out they had in fact been banned for spamming obscenities
So you have proof that these people were banned for entirely harmless reasons then?
i have never seen somebody throw themselves on a sword so quickly for people that may or may not be completely fictional
I've literally seen them in the thread before, we had a 2-3 week long tirade by one of them recently, turns out he was getting into political arguments in novice network and spamming dozens and dozens of reports on people as well as stalking them.
Legit mental illness territory.
You retards make up the most insane shit.
Well well what do you know, I was right and it's the same fucking retard crying about his ban because he harassed people for kicking him from NN.
Except you made up the part about him having a 3 week long tirade and you invented the part about how it "turns out" (according to who exactly?) that he was getting into political arguments and stalking people. I don't know why the retards in this thread just invent whole fantasies about all their personal boogeymen but you're fucking pathetic for it. Being honest is a lot easier.
You're welcome to check the archives, he's been doing this for a while. In one of his images/explanations he goes off about politics.

It doesn't help that the perceived injustice you keep bringing up is a nothing burger and makes you look even worse.
Now this is peak autism
If you think the only thing that can get you banned in FFXIV is posting obscenities, then I have some snake oil to sell you for about 200 dollars.
What are the other things?
what did you do, anon. an account termination does not happen for one instance of "nuisance behavior."
>Reported a bunch of people for kicking me for no reason from Novice Network. That's it.
But honestly, I can't even be sure. Because Square-Enix never says the exact reason. They can give the vaguest reason and still be able to steal all of your money and time.
oh it's you again, you embarrassed yourself a week or two ago complaining of an unjust ban. mysteriously you'd saved absolutely nothing you said yourself.

Without context there's no way to judge whether the ban was reasonable or not retard.
He was malding about his ban a few weeks ago and couldn't (wouldn't) hand over anything he'd clearly said to actually provoke the ban. He clearly recorded the relevant conversations since he was posting Novice Network logs.
In what fucking context is this kick justifiable you obsequious, cum guzzling homosexual?
Oh no kicked from the novice network. The humanity!!!!! You're being silenced!!!!

yeah you deserved the ban
can't you easily rejoin it
>you must wait 3 hours to rejoin
Also it depends on the server, Jenova it's probably trivial, but I know on high pop servers the mentors tend to clog up the NN and it can be a real task to actually join it since you have to snipe a slot.
>hehe actually not having any pictures that he did anything wrong is proof that he did something wrong!
Every time I enter these threads I get flashbacks to arguing with Christian fundies in yahoo messenger in like 2006.
And therein lies the problem with Square-Enix's policies regarding bans. They never give you the exact reason. They can ban you for whatever fucking reason they deem necessary, and you have to sit there and take it. Xenos himself complained about this. Yes, the e celeb you little zoomers love to worship and adore so much. It's kind of hard to learn from your mistakes if you don't even know what mistake you made in the first place.

I just want more bozja/eureka content. While im still on the second to last stage for like 80% of the weapons I still got that far atleast back in endwalker and had something to do. But I would still want them to do something different compared to the last two steps which are nearly impossible to finish after the content is released.

Good keep your mentally ill ass away from the game

what is the point of gear in this game
all it does is inorganically enforce a you must be this tall to enter rule. i was doing bozja recently and i realized that the concept of gear in this game is entirely worthless, you could just have every duty hardsync you to the ilvl the devs want you to play at like bozja and it would make ZERO difference. there are no builds, there are no armor skills, weapon abilities and traits, everything is number go up
Lol how new are you
>oldfags have just been eating shit for ten years
great argument
that already happens via echo. gear is just redundant. if the devs want the content trivalized, they literally just add a 200% power up buff the moment you step your foot in like modern eureka
The point of gear is literally just trivializing mechanics
What else would it do in a game without specs or leveling stats

Read the thread, nagger.
Alphie would never say this. His sister would though
I can't believe someone is seething because they got kicked from the fucking nn- the noob daycare center. Lmao.
Actually he's seething because he got permabanned from the game for reporting rulebreaking behavior to the GMs.

This is the same anon who thinks the police have never made a single false arrest in the history of the police force. In any country. Ever. There is also not a single innocent being incarcerated in a prison anywhere in the world. Every organization and person in a position of authority is infallible.
this nagger is comparing him getting banned from a fucking videogame for being a huge obnoxious homosexual to the cops pinning a murder on an innocent guy because they can't be fucking asked lmaop
>the cops pinning a murder on an innocent guy because they can't be fucking asked lmaop
this happens
wow lost
I'll be back later. Having fun with other games. Pic unrelated.
Novice Network anon is very busy depicting himself as Christ on the cross. Let's watch.
The fuck is a Novice Network?
Opt-in chat system for mentors and new players (sprouts) intended as, obviously, a mentor system, but in practice it ends up as a global chat (the game has never been difficult enough outside of Savage to need a mentoring system) that's moderated by the mentors that use it.
It's a chatroom designed for new players to hang out in and get help from mentors. In practice it's a place where mentors hang out and attentionwhore and get into highschool tier drama.
Why does Ganker complain about female characters but poorly written homosexuals like Graha and Estinien get a free pass?
roastie whores have infected Ganker, that's why
People complain about Graha all the fucking time, what the hell are you talking about?
G'raha doesn't get a pass. Estinien isn't poorly written just poorly utilized.
Graha is dog shit, since when were mfs giving Graha a free pass? Estin is cool as shit though, gets a pass on looks alone
Estinien is the worst piece of shit character in this entire game. He basically nullifies the need for the player character half the time and they use him to do shit that they're too fucking lazy to do unique class animations for the WoL for killing big enemies. I have no fucking clue what his motivation as a character is, if they ever explain it it's entirely forgettable. Him being in the story actually makes playing DRG feel like shit because he basically just does everything you can do but better, they even wrote in an excuse for him to be able to fight against Primals which was the WoL's entire schtick making your character feel redundant in later expacs.
These references to the crucifixion must be the hottest new twitter phrase because I've seen like 10 different posters use them in the past two days.
I'm guessing an influx of edgy, seething zionists, or fedora-tipping plebbit refugees.
Then stop acting like you're being crucified.
NTA, retard.
Classic female behavior, using Twitter nu-speak and gaslighting tactics. These roastie tourists need to go.
Child, people have been saying shit like "Get down off your cross" since before you were an itch in your daddy's nutsack. You fetuses think The Simpsons, Family Guy, and X invented everything that exists
A few weeks ago I apparently opened a bunch of anons' minds that there were gay parodies and rewrites of rap songs and that gay parodies of other peoples' music has been a thing for decades.
>Child
A WOMAN
A WOMAN ON Ganker
People have said it forever but I've never seen it used on Ganker until yesterday and now I see it routinely. So I assume it's the hot new twitter phrase.
Of course you think that, homosexual, you don't have a life or human contact outside of Ganker.
Did you have trouble reading the post or something?
Wow these are truly the same thing.
that's a shortcoming of the archive's search function
cope
Next time be honest and put the phrase in quotes.
Not if you use quotation marks.
i say "christ on the cross" sometimes because it was a killphrase that kills the main character in a peter watts novel I read a decade ago and I secretly hope it will also induce grand mal seizures in people but it never does
weird
can you do something for me, anon? i just want you to imagine Christ on the cross
didn't work dipshit
This is 100% a woman, disgusting, a sub 5 female seeking attention and validation. But also, fair point.
But you're crying too THO

official power rating for the song from the penultimate fight of the final tier. ie 11, or 12th in coils case this is not a theory but proven as fact.
>exponential entropy that low
The song is like two measures man.
the issue is is that its not better than eScape, From the Ashes or Fleeting Moments
eScape is totally the best don't get me wrong, second place is a tossup between exponential entropy and phoenix's theme. I didn't really care for fleeting moment because the amaurot motif has been done to absolute death
Exponential Entrophy is catchy as hell but it's not musically complex and doesn't really have much to do with the fight itself in any way
I love Exponential Entropy, but there's another Alexander theme that has captured my heart.
I never paid mind to the lyrics, I thought it was gibberish. I like the gobbo speak

Best I can do is a reference in a fate name in 7.0
I'll take it, I need to do more side quests and Fates. I did one in Megadoodoo at randomly and it turned into an entire quest chain for a little void sent at the end giving me an orchestration.
Mine ran out today or the day before. I don't really care to resub.
here's your Duty Finger group
You don't understand guys he got his account PERMANENTLY BANNED purely by mistake, he was the good buy trying to report the people abusing their Novice Network privileges.
This is very serious don't laugh.
I played in the dark Tanaka 4.0/10 days and came back during the relaunch and finished all the raid content in 1.0.
The only way I'll come back is if they release female hrothgar soon and they are giant bestial monster women and not lithe, flatfaced catgirls.
ok but in exchange they are stuck wearing the racial outfit. not just hats, the xiv devs will not model a single piece of gear for them
>the xiv devs will not model a single piece of gear for them
holy based and the default racial outfit is a sling bikini
i forgot to mention the default outfit will be tank tops and ripped jeans
I honestly bought WoW recently and having a better time.
XIV has become a lot more second life since Shadowbringers mods were nice and grounded but every FC I enter these days has a "syncshell" then every character is some fucking shitty looking cyberpunk cat or huge boring looking Viera with muscles, and all the men are the same TBSE-X "I think I am an alpha male" shite. VFX mods ruined the game along with animation mods. No one ever wants to do anything other than stand around a house they never enter and go to "nighclubs" filled with the same shitty people and a DJ that just puts on a YouTube playlist and is streaming themselves using mods to boot it's always a guy and its always a slutty catgirl.
thanks for the blog post
You didn't have to call me out like that anon.
>and all the men are the same TBSE-X
That's like the only real body mod for guys there is unless you want to be a baratroon.
TBSE with the body type edits are much nicer.
That's what I like.
Don't post this horrendous shit at me ever again.
have a nice day you disgusting freak
After you, good sir.
>No one ever wants to do anything other than stand around a house they never enter and go to "nighclubs"
It sounds like more a you and the FC you're in problem. There are plenty of groups on PF right now doing Ultimate progs, there were 150 PF's a few hours ago, there are 1k PF's on the chink servers I might try out there for a laugh.
>30 PFs doing content and 120 club advertisements
Sure shown me anon.
>120 club advertisements
What do you even do in clubs? /dance and wait for people hitting you up for ERP?
you COULD start a conversation you know anon. but yeah, thats pretty much it.

XIV is still a 9.5/10 game 10 years in.
FFXVI, VII Remake, XV, they all failed where XIV won.
Yoshi P better deliver the beach episode in DT.
post her ass
imagine. this game really does need more fanservice if I'm being honest
Soon friend.
I didn't play FFXI so I'm watching Youtube videos covering the story and game. I'm so confused by it, then again the people I've watched who made videos are so fucking bad at it, they don't ever stop talking to take in a breath and I have no idea who the fuck is who.
If you want to watch the story I believe at least one person has full expansion storylines recorded, every cutscene and conversation, and it's fairly well put together with no commentary.
Do you recommend watching a full playthrough of the story or someone giving a synopsis style overview? Is it a story that can be told easily or do you need full explanation for every small detail or you won't understand the part later in the story?
The overall story is simple enough to understand but there's also a ton of character specific stuff you won't fully understand without doing side quests or having someone fill you in. This guy comes to mind. You won't have a fucking clue what's going on with him unless you also do the San d'Oria nation quests and the THF quests.
Shit, I'll try and watch a guy do a playthrough I might even try to play and stream it from the very start myself. My brother was recently made redundant so he's got a lot of free time on his hands I might get him to do a playthrough with me.
I'd recommend it, it's really easy to level up and just go through the story nowadays.
Yeah it's a very solo friendly game these days on retail, the downside is it costs money obviously but everything has been cleaned up so you can speed through the game and do what you want without hassle.
Depends on how much time you have on your hands and how much you care, I think this person tries to cover side quests as well as AF quests to give people the most complete picture possible without playing it for yourself.
I'm always a fan of no-commentary, you can always ask questions or google something if you're confused. I think there's a XI thread on /vm/ or one of the sub boards
The game doesn't hold your hand through understanding the story and in Chains of Promathia they even intentionally make it confusing and feed you misinformation and multiple different interpretations of the events on purpose. And there's a ton of other context in side content like the job quests too. I can imagine it's shit to watch on youtube.
FFXI's story is very mediocre. Playing it (back in the days when it was current content) felt great since it was genuinely hard to progress due to how hostile the entire game was. I played through all stories this year and there are some genuinely cool things in Chains and Wings, but the base game story, Zilart and Treasures are pretty bad. The final one Rhapsodies is very dependant on how you enjoyed the other plots.
I hope the raid armours will borrow the AF design from XI, but I have 0 hope they will seeing we didn't even get god specific armours in the current 24 man.
>ToAU story
>bad
Yes, AU was cool as a concept, the the plot just fizzled. Like "Oh no the grand vizier is the bad man, the puppeteering girl is the empress WHO WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT ONE COMING?" Aphmau was pretty weak as well. Only good thing was Naja in all of that.
tits too big

Never subbing to an MMO again, not since World of Warcraft Cataclysm about a decade ago.

I often think about resubbing for the hell of it. I haven't played this game in years. I have friends who ask me about it sometimes, if I still play, and I would say not at the moment.
As if they are interested in playing as well, but when I offer to play with them they usually give some half assed excuse. They are generally good lads though and if they won't join, neither will I. I'd rather not interact with some of the people who make this game their life.
FFXIV IS FOR naggerS!
I did, anon. Amirdrassil raid friday.
I will only sub once I get my mandated Y'shtola mommygf
Level up your botanist.
No way, Jose. I will not level DoH/DoL. That stuff is for people that want to keep playing 14 when they've ran out of things to do
XIV girls for this?!
Y'shtola obviously.
>pvp in cc
>stun a dude with chains while he is busy fighting someone else
>he clears the stun with purify so fast it doesn't even register an animation for the stun
Hmmmmmm
Y'shtola is the Lulu of XIV. There, I said it
You palette/job change black mage into white. Turn her from a human into a anthro cat and it's her
I'd resub if the game actually played like a MMO but it shares more in common with visual novels than a MMORPG like Everquest or WoW or UO. As a game it fucking sucks.
>WoW has no player housing
You're a murder hobo in that game, if you don't raid then you have nothing to do.
>muh instanced housing that has absolutely no affect on gameplay
Meanwhile in FFXIV when you run out of storyfag shit, you have nothing to do but raid. At least we have an open world.
150 hours later I completed Heavensward and post patches. I can confirm that it does not in fact "get better" and I hear Stormblood is a regression from heavensward and I thought that shit was fucking boring too.
I would much rather play XI than XIV 2.0 from what I remember at least it was a MMORPG.
Please don't reply to XI chads with such low effort shitposting.
anon, shouldn't you be playing hardcore wow and rebuilding your character that died to a d/c?
An open World to do what? It's not used, I've played WoW and people do the same in that game as in FFXIV they afk in the player hubs and raid.
At least with FFXIV the world is connected to the story, in WoW you can have a cataclysmic event happening in the story, meanwhile in the World there is no consequence, no difference, no change. Traders are still there, you can go everywhere still, travel routes are still open, the story has boats being destroy, the Maw for example had entire fleets sucked under, back in the Open World you can still get on a boat and travel through it no problem.
I have never played a game so disconnected from the gameplay and story. Even Warhammer40k knows the story is just fluff, yet it's the books are more involved to the tabletop than WoW is with it's own story. Two different mediums in Warhammer40k has more connection than WoW with it's internal story telling. Fuck me does that game's writers suck shit at story telling as well, and now Metzen the hero is back? The guy who was caught Googling himself to see if he was implicated in the sex scandals when that all dropped, the hero returns to tell an overarching story? Look at his bookshelf, is Tolkien front and center? No, it's Marvel comics. You're going to get a Marvel superhero tier story with WoW characters where your own adventurer is nowhere to be seen. Holy shit are WoW addicts completely retarded and what's more they're selling them at $90 for each "expansion" (in reality it's one patch split into three expansion) $270 for the WoW story alone not including sub time, they don't even include one month sub in the price of the expansion KEK .

breh, you've somehow made titties gay

i played XIV up until second coil of bahamut. am i missing out.
That's only like 10% of the game's content I think. I'm in Stormblood and I'd recommend Heavansward
But Second Life is free?

You try to turn every XIV thread into a XI thread while seething about XIV like this guy
is doing, ranting about how XIV "isn't an MMO because I say it isn't".
That guy is a shitposter who doesn't play or know anything about XI or XIV, you are no better than he is.
>XIV is having an XI alliance raid
>XIV players get curious about XI and ask questions

>NOOOO STOP TALKING ABOUT FFXI NOW NOW NOW STOP IT STOP IT I DON'T LIKE FFXI I DON'T WANNA HEAR ABOUT IT SHUT UP YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE IT ALL ABOUT YOU AAAHHHHHH
Cry and have a nice day.
I played 150 hours of FFXIV. It was "teleport here talk to this guy *cutscene using /emotes* teleport across continent talk to this guy *cutscene* now pick grass at three nodes while avoiding mobs because you don't have enough skills for combat to be enjoyable turn in quest *cutscene* over and over and over again
I've been playing MMOs since UO. I have never played a "MMO" like that. 6.X is literally >24 hours of cutscenes.
Here's proof. Look at the top of my image.
I don't care and I don't think anyone else does
And that's fine but don't act like I'm fucking lying when I call FFXIV a storyfag visual novel-tier game instead of a MMO because it's not. It becomes one after hundreds of hours of mandatory MSQ (that they conveniently sell skips for).
Open world quests, world bosses, crafting, world events, a world that feels lived in rather than a static map that NPCs are randomly dropped in.
So FFXIV is successful because it is a single player visual novel masquerading as a MMORPG? I don't care that FFXIV is successful. I am upset that you Japanophile homosexuals lied to me and wasted 150 hours of my time by saying "it gets better and opens up". No it doesn't in fact I would say it became even more railroaded into its shitty jRPG visual novel-tier storytelling that you HAVE to complete OR pay to skip.
Wholeheartedly agreed. ffxiv fans can shill this shit all they want but they should be honest about what it is and isn't. Trash like this doesn't help.
You're having a schizo argument with yourself here bud.
>Open world quests, world bosses, crafting, world events, a world that feels lived in rather than a static map that NPCs are randomly dropped in.
XIV has all these, why are you lying so much?
It has cutscenes, therefore it is bad. WoW doesn't have cutscenes, which makes it good.
Bro... lying to yourself is not an acceptable adult behaviour.
>a world that feels lived in rather than a static map
Anon that is exactly what WoW does not have, the maps are completely static that is what the other anon is referring to saying how it's not at all connected to the story beats, are you retarded?. How blind to nostalgia are you?
>every mmo is the same
>This one is different, why is it different?
>Why is this mmo not like the other mmo
That's why it's so successful you retard, it doesn't work for you so play the other game. It works for others. It's nice to have options on the market instead of everything being WoW. Yes I know FFXIV was a WoW clone for ARR, but that was the base game we're moving into our fifth expansion. If it's not jelling with you by now it never will. You're complaining FFXIV is not WoW and upset people are calling you a retard. Think about your life choices where you are unable to connected the dots that two games in the same genre does not equate to being the same game.
I wonder if the people complaining about cutscene length know about the key that's on the upper-leftmost portion of their keyboard
>just skip the cutscenes and do hundreds of hours of mandatory questing without any context
This is a retarded argument and you're a retard for parroting it. Retard. Fuck you.
Do you whine about every other FF game ever made having cutscenes?
Lmao there is no satisfying you
>I want to quest
>No, I don't want to listen to the story
>What do you mean skip? My quests won't have CONTEXT
>Huh? Buy the skip then? I refuse to admit that I am exactly the person who would benefit from that
keeeeeeeeeeeeeeek
You can tell when someone is losing argument when they start getting really mad and don't offer up any form of reasoning besides namecalling
You're talking out the side of your mouth for wanting context but not wanting to pay attention to a story. Maybe a more mindless MMO is for you if you can't handle dialogue
Yeah wow man the internet argument
I win
I know you've never played XI because you'd know it probably has more cutscenes than XIV.
Click this link and enjoy a 965 video long playlist of only a portion of the games cutscenes.
The XIV cultists are out in full force today. I've said enough. If you're looking for a MMORPG with ACTUAL GAMEPLAY look somewhere else or else you're gonna be doing hundreds of hours of mandatory fetch quests intertwined with nearly a hundred hours of shit cutscenes
proof:
fuck this game and fuck all the cancerous homosexuals that shill it here
>plays an mmo
>seethes and cries about it having mmo quests
Real MMOs have no quests. Just grinding.
ah you're a retard then
I would be fine with MMO quests if it had actual gameplay but >80% of them are literal talk to this person now teleport across the continent and talk to this person shit
You didn't make me give up. That video looks infinitely more fun than whatever the fuck I did in FFXIV in my 150 hours of playtime.
At max settings at 4K it isn't much better.
I'll be back in every thread because you cunts wasted 150 hours of my time by saying it "gets better". Heavensward sucked just as much as ARR. Fuck you.
better than
>CHAMPION YOU MUST COLLECT 356,642,623,132 FRAGMENTS OF AZURITE

What did you have to do to your settings to get a screenshot this impressively bad?
Listen here you bad person, you racist
If xiv is so bad then why will these thread reach 500 posts? That’s what I thought. Moodle got your tongue? Oops, sorry honey.
Now go cry on Ganker about it.
At least XI is part of the genre it claims to be a part of. XIVcucks are paying a subscription to access hundreds of hours of (shit) visual novel homosexualry.

heavenly bunny maids
I have to hand it to you anon. I thought no one could ruin Viera but here you are.
ruin how?
cause my cock cant make it past those massive ass checks
My only complaint about FFXIV is the cutscenes were designed as if your character is a martial class like tank or MDPS.
Sometimes i dont wana punch a MF i just wana blast them with a delete spell and stare at them as they turn to ash and fade from existence.
blame the lalafells for that, the devs didn't want to put up with making several versions of every cutscene just for the potato sacks
11 is much more fun, but takes way too much time. I hope horizon is around when I retire.
>this ff game has cutscenes
>There's people who don't play my game
>They play this game I don't get it
Someone create lore for me repainting how WoL can go back and do level 1 job quests 6 expansions in and no one recognise him
Echo?
Devs answered this, every quest canonically takes place during the patch it was introduced.
Stylistically, I think every MMO looks like Nickelodeon except for XIV and Morrorwind.

uhhh chuds?
Just don't put fucking achievements like that into the game. Like holy fuck it should be a fun mode, there is no reason to do that.
Also ppl who care for achievements and titles are fucking weird.
>Don't add a reason to do them.
You could I don't know... do it for fun and work towards it?
You don't need the title in a fucking day.
Meta fags also need to fuck off too.
No I have to cheat
I must use plugin D made by trannysys on GitHub to see thordans balls on the second phase and add AI navigation paths in dungeons
I hope they add an anticheat and block mods too.
Mods were nice when they were grounded but now it's all second life shit and fortnite dances.
They should do whatever WoW did with mods.
Never really see anyone use mods as much as XIV fags do.
Actively force players to use gameplay mods and ignore the coomer mods completely?
You just have to accept that xiv is what people really want from games: a solid story and good boss fights. That’s it.
Oh you can’t except that? Well that’s a you problem 🙂
>There are cutscenes in a Final Fantasy game
>How could this happen to me
FFXI wasn't like this and even when they were doing story shit, there was actual gameplay between those moments.
>XIV has all these, why are you lying so much?
Done extremely poorly and the world is static as fuck there's never anything going on and the world looks like this. Don't pretend like the XIV community hasn't been asking for better open worlds and questing zones since ARR.
11 wasn't like this.
>does them poorly
>ignores everything

XIV's crafting mogs any other mmo
kys zoomer weeb
>FFXI wasn't like this
FFXI has a shitload of cutscenes, there's not even a skip button like XIV has. And just like XIV the endgame activities are locked behind finishing the MSQ. You can't get to Tu'lia or Al'taeiu without getting through dozens of hours of story first.
>XI wasn’t like this this
Yes it was, except you sat at the gate and said “l4p”
I'd really prefer if you, a child who has never played XI, would not talk about XI.
Its amazing how much this blows modern WoW cutscenes the fuck out
They weren't all great but they did have access to some forbidden technology.

lalafells
no I am not fucking kidding, they couldn't figure out how to make the races interact with each WoL so they just opted not to do it, ever
This is an old stale lie. I don't have the webm of the lalafells from 1.0 doing unique animations with some roes in a cutscene. Maybe someone does though. Its pure cost cutting after the failure of 1.0.
Not wol
Endwalker finally got there. You got to punch Zenos and shake Zero's hand. Surely that is sufficient. Only took them ten fucking years to get over this.
It's pretty embarrassing how badly the XI cutscenes mog XIV cutscenes to this day.

>getting upset that a Final Fantasy game has cutscenes
It's not supposed to be a final fantasy game. It's supposed to be a final fantasy MMO with emergent gameplay.
You are fucking delusional if you think FFXIV's map design is comparable to what Dragonflight or Guild Wars 2 are doing. FFXIV's open world is simply a stage for their cutscenes and fetch quests. There's nothing else going on, ever.
oh you're the GW2 retard
More than one person on planet earth hates FFXIV retardanon

....okay, don't forget the 5 minute unskippable cutscenes when you enter that tower near jueno
my favorite was the 10 seconds of cutscene you had to watch so you could see the airship leaving you behind
11 was awful in that. Between the unskippable cutscenes, not being able to forward the dialogue until Tarutaru were finished with their emotes to "RETURN THE NEXT VANADIEL DAY" it was a fucking slog most of the time.

I never really see anyone in the world zones in XIV.
It's alwasy fucking dead.

I've played about three hours of Dragonflight and I've already done more MMO-y things with a fresh start character than I did in 150 hours of FFXIV. Say what you will about Blizzard but at least they still make massively multiplayer online roleplaying GAMES instead of endless cutscene shit.
Okay? I play XIV because I hate mmos
yet you're paying a MMO's subscription for what is essentially a singleplayer game for 99% of the game's content
lmao
>pic related
no wonder this shit gets shilled so much here
I have friends so idk what you're talking about
>The owner of Ganker is friends with YoshiP
Yeah, Ganker is a FF14 board. Why are you still here lil WoWiee?
>yet you're paying a MMO's subscription for what is essentially a singleplayer game for 99% of the game's content
Oh shit, exactly like every MMO ever made. Why does this one in particular make you shit yourself into a frothing frenzy?
WoW has emergent gameplay in the open world. FFXIV's emergent gameplay is eRPing with another dude wearing a dress IRL
not true. I have ERP'd with women before.
I believe it but it's a rare occurrence
She looks younger than Zepla.
should we tell him?
>he doesn't know
I have also fucked them in real life. Both Cis and Trans.
I'm sorry you have zero rizz.
>who would do that, just go on the Internet and tell lies?
cope.
how did you get over the fact you are fucking a dude with tits
genuinely curious, the BO alone should be a bad giveaway
Weird, I do plenty of "emergent gameply" in XIV's open world, such as quests and fates and weeklies and other content. Not to mention running dungeons and raids and trials.
>fates
Makes it sound cooler than it actually is. A bunch of enemy NPCs spawning out of thin air and killing them until a timer runs out. Easily the worst implementation of world events in any MMO.
Why? It's like when a bunch protestors show up somewhere and you beat them up until they leave.
that's not emergent gameplay, zoomzoom. stop using words you don't understand.
What is "emergent gameplay", then? Is it from reddit, or twitter?
it's anything the players do that the devs did not account for in the game. chicken races outside the saucer, casinos, hide and seek, clubs, lala orchestra, shit like that. it's not necessarily good gameplay, just it's not dev controlled.
No FFXIV is getting broken by 20 year old WoW, it's done, the people who play the game are so far gone, the last thing they're holding on to is the hope that the game can somehow be saved under a guy who can only write Marvel tier stories. WoW is so broken, the playerbase is so bad the game itself has had to be split into 3 different versions because the current version failed that much during Shadowlands.
Meanwhile you want to see someone buck broken by FFXIV you look at
>Say what you will about Blizzard
Nigga you need to take a nap (and a shower) if you are running defense for this dogshit company. Their games haven't been good for 20 decades and they never made a good MMO to begin with
Their last good game was Diablo 2 and the people that made it left looooooong ago
>*kills 10 boars*
>"Woah is this the MMO Experience™"?
At least that involves playing the game rather than loadscreen simulator where you're teleporting across continents to talk to NPCs for cutscenes... And here's what it looks like when you actually get to play the game for a change. One-three button "gameplay" with absolutely no difficulty until you start raiding 300+ hours into the game.
>he bought a story and level skip just to record himself playing part of a story fight where you play as a different character on very easy
>waaaaaah stop criticizing my shitty visual novel you're disrupting my NTR fap session
seethe
>shitty visual novel you're disrupting my NTR fap session
but enough about WoW
I feel bad for people that endure that experience. It probably takes 10+ minutes to kill those fuckers
Now let's see WoW's combat... It's even less engaging
okay
thirty seconds of gameplay I saw looked more engaging than anything I saw in 150 hours of """playing""" FFXIV ARR/Heavensward
going to be honest, none of this looks fun or even attractive
retail wow will never look appealing and
is a complete homosexuals for posting links to trannyflight of all things. Especially with the XIV groomer picture. Get some self awareness you fucking tard.
but yes warcraft (vanilla and the early expansions) have better gameplay than XIV, which is just an easy final fantasy game that happens to be online.
>muh trannies
shut the fuck up
Your game is no different. Shut-in Tumblr types are what retail MMOs attract. It's not a XIV only problem, but it is a XIV (american server) problem. Again, no self awareness on your part.
It's funny how much you people shriek and shart that XIV is "the tranny game" when WoW is the game that exploded dickgirls and futa into the mainstream with people slapping giant elephant dicks on Night Elves and later Draenei to the point you people think futa Nelves and Draenei are the actual true canon of the game.
>when WoW is the game that exploded dickgirls and futa into the mainstream
Are WoWrats really this full of themselves?
Look up lewd fanart for WoW. From almost the start of the game futa Night Elves were a staple that only grew larger and larger.
>posts mythic dungeon gameplay which is the equivalent of criterion extreme, a raid fight and a pvp fight in a battleground that's the equivalent of the frontline game
>against a comparison in a msq fight which is essentially a tutorial
nagger, have you ever heard of a false equivalence? Because fallacies aren't making a very good case here for you.
The equivalent of a mythic+ dungeon in FFXIV is still fucking boring looking. Bad animations, little to no importance for positioning when tanking and DPS is just button mashing.
there is a lot that you can criticize about xiv's combat especially if you're nitpicky, but
>tank positioning not important
>DPS is just button mashing
???
the whole deal with xiv's combat is that is has fixed rotations that's the antithesis of button mashing, and tank positioning is important in actual hard content so i have no idea what you're on about
>move boss badly in week 1 savage/relevant ults that haven't been powercrept by 3 expansions
>melee can't hit it and do mechanic at the same time
>dps is shite
>die to enrage as a result
before you go "this never happens dps isn't an issue in savage!!!!"
i said week 1 savage, i don't care about your week 14 near max ilvl but still barely scraped by clear
Why are we still not able to get the upgrade item for the tome weapon/last relic step? Raid troons got their super special Criterion update so they can't complain about the evil casuals being just as powerful as them.
home...
I'm ready for WhalaKINO
same
Endwalker has been so shit and the game infested with terminally online losers who play it like second life that I actually caved and bought WoW.
And had much more fun.
>the game infested with terminally online losers who play it like second life
Painfully true. I kind of hope that yoship destroys mods and these subhumans fuck off forever.
I mod the fuck out of my game.
Would still love to see the absolute meltdown that will happen if mods get yeeted. Would be worth having to play vanilla again just to see the secondlife fags squirm.
That trash fire would burn for months, it would be amazing.
How does people doing something that you can't see make you so seethingly angry?
virtue signaling
Because the kind of people that this shit brings to the game makes every aspect of the game that they are involved in actively worse and I want them to be permanently removed from the game.
show me where the ERPer touched you parsetroon
How do they make "everything" worse when as you keep screaming they only do one single thing in the game?
I feel this way about social security and Medicare, I'll happily give up both as long as people that trigger me are denied it as well.
BIG
>Expansion focused on mamool ja
will we get the best piece of mmo content ever conceived brought over from XI?
Do you mod you're game?
what the fuck is that thing
BEHOLD, Blizzard's finest achievement
A videogame they outsourced to Vicarious Visions because Blizzard cannot make anything good themselves; even if it's a remaster
Dragonflight is arguably the best expansion any MMO has put out in the past 15-20 years surpassing Guild Wars 2's Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire. Cope.
Hype for Metzen's return is through the roof and we got three expansions announced. Wtf are you talking about?
This.
>actual gameplay doesn't look fun
Hence why a visual novel is appealing to you.By all means enjoy it but don't like about what it is and isn't.
Hey, I thought you said you didn't play WoW. Why did you lie?
not that anon
wow nice empty open world with absolutely no sign of life except for panel 4
>he doesn't know
>Dragonflight is arguably the best expansion any MMO has put out in the past 15-20 years
Do you need a doctor?
>people leaving for WoW again
I couldn't ask for a better thing. The game was much better before the Asmongold exodus.
Thats not a good thing anon.
You'd be left with nightclub losers who only do casual content.
It's unironically the WoW people who are keeping Savage and Ultimate PF's alive.
>It's unironically the WoW people who are keeping Savage and Ultimate PF's alive.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>It's unironically the WoW people who are keeping Savage and Ultimate PF's alive.
It is WoW homosexuals who hyperfocus on shit like world first and e-celebs. Back in ARR, HW and SB things were way more mellow. And to be fair, EWs biggest issue is that combat content is catered exclusively to Savage troons. Outside of Ex trials there is nothing for casual players.
WOw lost
>announce 3 expansions at once
P-please....come back.....
>Inteoducing the Fainal Fantasy 14 story line
Blizzard are such fucking shmucks. They steal fucking everything from every other MMO.
Come on...you can like a game and still admit it has flaws. I've only played FF14 and it's overworld is completely dead. There's no reason to ever interact with it besides hunt trains. I played Runescape back in the day and it had a much more interactive overworld and you actually saw other players traversing it. If you're not in a current expansion hub or one of the three city states you're hardly ever going to see a soul.
If wow is so great why do wowies post in every 14 thread 🙂
I don't play WoW or XIV and I think both are shit. I'm a UO/OSRS gigachad.
Then I wasn't talking about you 🙂 reading comprehension buddy xD
open world mmos died for a reason
Because they were dogshit lmfao
I miss city of heroes.
Final fantasy 14, run around as a little hit and shit
All girls can do is suck dick
what are you trying to say wowie

nigga-

I hope DT will just be fun adventure kino with NPCs of your choice.
An AI-tier, or an NPC-tier comment made by Rin himself. Wrote anything just to show his shitty art. As if anyone gives a fuck.
I hope Shitola gets removed from the story and you have a nice day on livestream.
This. I wonder how many XIVschizo suicides would occur from killing off any of the main cast.
Less than the number who would off themselves if Sylvanas was removed from WoW.
I was hoping we would finally be rid of the scions after Endwalker but since that's not the case I'll be enjoying endgame stuff earlier than my friends thanks to skipping every cutscene.
Couldn't get into it, it's not isekai enough for me.
i know a dude in world of warcraft who was like this homosexual who self inserts himself into every single yshtola picture, motherfucker owns currently like 30% of all blood elf porn drawings online and spent thousands upon thousands on this shit
i know him irl too, he's unemployed and it's all neetbux money, it's a total and absolute mental illness
alori, kys my man and feel grateful i am not dropping you by your real life name
Wgen is my viera getting visible hats?
I don't "raid".
Why can't anyone communicate properly anymore? Why are people replying as if this fucking post makes any fucking sense? Why do people not only communicate like this, but also condone this nonsensical bullshit?
I am sorry that you can't understand English, ESL-kun
I can understand it just fine. Sorry you had a shit education.
Why? Not like there's gonna be shit to do until Dawntrail. I'll resub then. No need to waste money for the next 9 months or so.
Why does you stole her like Limsa so damn much.
she's a catfish
Cats love water
They like a the wet pussy
I beat Shadowbringers a couple of days ago. I understand why everyone likes this piece of shit now. The post MSQ quests have been fun too, specifically 5.2 and the weapon quests. I'm looking forwards to endwalker
Bad News Anon, EW msq is a solid okay but the post patch in EW is actual dogshit tier. 5.3 I think was peak post patch so far.
SoS is peak XIV and nothing can top it
Yeah easily my favorite normal and extreme in the game.
>post patch in EW is actual dogshit tier
I don't think anything can be worse than Ala Mhigo stormblood shit or ARR. There's no way it's that bad. I'll have to see when I get to it
I rate it on par with ARR in how boring it was. Mind you this is based on MSQ and basic content. The Savage, Criterion, and Ultimate content was pretty fun, and I just finished the most recent crit savage, had a great time. It's still fine, but I didn't enjoy it as much as SHB post patch.
It's main problem is being a setup story, being too ham/power of friendship at points and being centered too much on a character that you aren't familiar with yet. The patch story isn't terrible by itself, but there isn't enough mystery that proceeds from it to make you want to see what comes after. Secondary content planning issues no doubt worsen the pstch MSQ perception as well (MSQ is dungeons and trial series; no other major story hooks; no grindy slow burn stories for players to drudge through slowly).
Endwalker isn't as good and I felt it ended the main story they have been working on well enough. It could have been better but for how bad so many other major stories have shit the bed at the end, EW was alright.
malera are pure sex
Did XI have patches or just expansions?
In XIV an expansion carries the full story and then the patches add extra, in XI when an expansion launched it only had part of the main story, the patches added the rest of the "msq".

Nice game, retards.
why do the animations in 1.0 look like 50 times better
Because they put all of the budget into it instead of the gameplay
XIV was the latest FF game at one point. it was commanding all of Square's talent and resources at the time

Merely a coincidence.

WOW just looks so bad, straight out of 2006, whats left of the community is pure cringe too.
It may look bad but it still plays like an MMORPG and not Second Life 2 chatroom simulator XIV.
