I really hope so.

>>712969857 (OP)
Most of those negative reviews have nothing to do with the content and are just angry over a trans VA.

>>712969857 (OP)
Chances they will address the complete clusterfuck that is Forked Tower and announce there will be an easy version that a pug can do from within the instance and a way harder version sweatlords can enter from Phantom Village? The current design is just upsetting everyone.

The zone itsself is fine, it is just that 95% of people in there have nothing to work towards to. Forked Tower is just too hard, especially with the entry method. It should have been DRN, at max CLL level of difficulty, but I assume Mr. Ozma was responsible for this content as well, just as he did for Chaotic.

I don't get it
Maybe this kind of thing would make sense if Forked Tower just remixed all the mechanics you see in the critical encounters so you already go in having already 'progged'

This is the 12th time you've posted this image.

Seems they were so busy trying to figure out how to make the content 'last' that they forgot to make it enjoyable.

>>712971626
>Maybe this kind of thing would make sense if Forked Tower just remixed all the mechanics you see in the critical encounters so you already go in having already 'progged'
That would mean the encounter designers can't gleefully chuckle when they kill you with a gotcha. The entire design of Forked is such a catastrophic fail, even worse than Chaotic was. As you said, it aggressively only wants random people getting together in an instance, at the same time it is highly coordinated content both in execution and jobs/phantomjobs you need. That the thing can pop with 16 people and you need at least 24 for the first boss is also fucking insane. Add the resurrection restrictions and you have the ultimate clusterfuck that no one likes to engage in.

FFXIV can't do anything right with these inexperienced, scrub devs. They need to stop pulling away the actual experienced devs to work on their fucking side projects. All of the problems with recent content keeps coming back to fumbling the bag with the most basic low level shit imaginable.

Yoshida plainly doesn't give a single fuck about the game anymore.

I predict that XIV will be shut down before XI is.

There's not really any point in it after you got your relic(s) besides "number go higher", and there's no real leaderboards like with Ishgard, so the only goal is to get a very big number to unlock a mount. Also I'm sure people complained about Ishgard restoration having too many items filling your inventory, but the ability to trade between players made it more interactive too.

This is his character, btw. He still has gear from 7.0. Unless he's playing a private character that no one knows is him, he basically hasn't even upgraded his gear in nearly a year.

>>712974546
Well yeah, that's basically the only defense they have. "Please understand this is just the groundwork we'll have more stuff coming."

It's interesting to see if they actually talk about any of the actual design choices though, like why the instances in Occult are tiny compared to how many people fit in Forked Tower.

>>712974947
That is his stream character, yes. If he only played that (meaning in this case he had someone equip it with full current BIS) I'd trust his opinion just as much or even less if he didn't play at all.

You have more of an emotional attachment to the characters than to random twitter users you don't know posting their OC characters.

they have been cutting more and more content and being more lazy for a while and now they finally got fucked

The most saddening part is that WoW is pulling itself up again after FFXIV hit it hard in the past, competition breeds excellence. But there's zero indication that Square Enix will make an attempt to do the same, they will just keep the same formulaic updates over a slower and slower cadence, with no fundamental necessary overhauls, until enough people lose interest for them to just put it into maintenance mode.

When are they going to fix the garbage glamor system? You'd think it would be a priority considering the fanbase.

>people seething at Y'shtola because their waifu doesn't get much screen time
>despite Shtola being constantly shoved aside as well in the msq
I don't get the hate. (your) waifu is as valid as any other.

I just looked at the steam reviews and I haven't seen a single complain about the voice actor. Since you seem to be from an alternate reality I wonder what other differences there are between the two realities we live in.

>>712977403
It makes me laugh because you'll get apologists who go "akshuyally she was specifically talking about when we tried to heal him," utterly tone deaf to the fact that this entire chain of events occurred very specifically because they didn't do shit to stop it.

It's kind of emblematic of Dawntrail as a whole. Midwits who are completely tone deaf to how their inane writing comes off to people who actually read this garbage.

>>712969963
wut lmao is a shit character of course but OC is honestly not great

THEY NEED TO MAKE THE RAIDS HARDER
THAT WILL SAVE THE GAME

Sex with Alisaie and Y'shtola respectively at the same time.

Also I really hope 6.4 is on the same levels if Kino as 5.3 was. These last few story patches have been somewhat interesting but thing have been just feeling kinda off story wise? Maybe its just a new lead writer getting his feet wet as the main narrative lead but I hope this pay off is sick. The Pandemonium storyline and 12 storylines have at least been interesting if a wee bit predictable so I hope they continue those quality storylines. Other than that I hope there are some actually decent fucking rewards for Criterion Savage Dungeons in terms of gear. Fuck those lazy ass rewards from ASS Savage. Ohh and there better be interesting payoff for Zero.

>>712977880
I'll be honest I didnt even notice how stupid it is because I'm used to watching garbage anime where people just stand and let duels happen then cry

High chance they will talk about it on the liveletter. Even JP is upset about the entry mechanic.
<50% chance of letting you queue in as a premade from outside the instance.
0% chance of an easy, puggable version.

>>712978612
><50% chance of letting you queue in as a premade from outside the instance.
This is the only realistic bandaid for OC though. As you said, they're not going to make an easy and savage version split. They're not going to completely retool every phantom job to be more like lost actions. They're not going to add in more CEs or duels. So what can they do? Allow queueing for Forked Tower from outside somehow. Or allow an alliance to generate a new instance of OC.

>>712978208

Why?

>>712978558
God imagine how much worse the game would be with f2p monetization.

>>712978907
Remember before OC dropped they said they were combining the best bits of eureka and bozja. I guess they thought the shitty BA system was one of the best parts of eureka. Really makes you think..

>>712978907
*gatekept by devs
*gate opened by discord teams

>>712978907
I don't even mind the outside coordination but it's near impossible to get all those coordinated people into the same fucking instance in the first place because the player cap in there is half of what Eureka had. 2/3rds of the instance has to be the group you're running with, meaning you're just praying to roll a fresh instance and hoping your gang slips in before everyone else.

>>712978907
I just jumped in BA and followed the group. But that was during Shadowbringers. I didn't play Stormblood live.

Foray was my last hope and it was mid and gets old way too fast, and I say that as someone who cleared FT
I can finally quit this game and move on with my life
Shame it ended this way but I don't see things ever getting better

>>712977812
False, I complained about the voice actor and I wrote a steam review
The only reason you wouldn't talk about it is if you are scared of being called transphobic or whatever. No one with functioning ear holes can let the vile utterances spewed by that Kentucky Jew complying a girl reach their auditory cortex and think that's acceptable voice acting.
>SPEEN! LISSUN 2 ME!
They literally went and redid the fucking line it was so bad, and when the actual company thinks it was bad enough to be worth changing, you are kind of just objectively correct in calling that troon's voice acting terrible.

>>712979061
If the game was buy 2 play it wouldn't bother people so much. Fuck paying a sub for this amount of content. Gachashit releases more for free.

>>712969857 (OP)

>>712978907
I don't know how they fucked this up. The phantom jobs are fine and fix the issue with bozja/eureka.
All they had to do was add in zone specific book farming for the relic with mobs, monsters and maybe some atma-like item.
And DR and it would've literally been beloved content.

Nobody liked BA. Why did they remake BA?

>>712977709
They've made all these claims that they're going to "fix stuff" in the past and it never pans out. They said Dawntrail was going to feature better and tougher dungeon content, and then the dungeons were still just lmao2pull2miniboss1boss hallway slop.

The developers are liars and the corporate suits behind them are greedy Jews fleecing their golden goose as much as they can because they know their player base are retarded and will stay subbed anyway.

Nah, they'll release the new expansion on Switch 2 and suddenly do gangbusters with all the new audience outreach they'll have as a result.

Might be over for DT though, since SE rushed out a thing about the PLL this Friday addressing players concerns over OC and Cosmic Exploration during it.

>>712977669
Fixing the glamour system (and about every other scuffed system in the game) would require a complete overhaul of the backend, rewriting the netcode, and migrating server infrastructure and character data.

The longer they wait, the harder it becomes, and by all accounts they've already waited too long for it to be feasible. Easier to just make a new game (or the mobile version).

>>712979254
You managed to post a game that's even more gay. Every character is nothing but fags and troons, and the story directly shits on you in favour of homo OCs and talking plants, and combat is a directionless mashfest due to no trinity.

>>712969963
No, the trans VA is still shit and a major factor for why people don't like 7.0, but it's moved on from that now. Everyone's mad because there's no queuing system for the latest raid, barring anyone who doesn't want to socialise on a discord from significant content. CBU3 will argue they're making it more like one of the previous raids (Baldesion's Arsenal) than another (Bozja), but they're fuckwits incapable of making an original and well thought out decision it seems.

>>712979408
At this point? no, I'd only accept 8.0 being delayed if they hard reworked the gameplay to be a 3rd person action game with real combat.

is there a dawntrail story skip yet or do i need to wait till the next expansion comes out

>>712979429
>barring anyone who doesn't want to socialise on a discord
It's not even that, it's the level of rng needed to enter with the people needed then to also prog it.

If the bosses were dungeons tier, I honestly think it wouldnt be a problem. Would be cool also to explore the tower blind, find all the secrets and fail and retry since its not as easy to wipe the raid
And then they can release the harder equivalent that doesnt have the stupid requirement.

This is a game about waiting for stuff to happen until you are tired of waiting and quit.
Their ridiculously strict development cycle makes it so when they get feedback, it only gets addressed like a year later because oops, can't change anything we already set.
By that point people are already incredibly frustrated and when shit finally gets addressed it ends up being too little too late.
Doesn't help that their server infrastructure or code or whatever is stuck in the prehistoric age where if they want to implement a shitty hotfix like this one:
https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/db6581b38de46f8a9dca0e57aad396dc45bf7c85
They have to take THE ENTIRE GAME down for TWELVE (12) HOURS.
Other games can implement a small patch like that in 15 minutes at worst, while you are in the game too (though you need to exit and come back again for the patch to get implemented properly, still, it takes no time). They can also address issues with the game in a few days/weeks instead of waiting 2 MONTHS at best for your feedback to get considered.

If something kills FFXIV, it's their inability to course correct in time.
People are just fucking tired of waiting for everything.

>>712978907
Getting "gatekept" by the feared "discord trannies" sounds like the biggest fucking skill issue I've ever heard of.
I'm also not surprised they went back to the BA system after all the bitching about how much easier the game became after ShB/EW and especially since the zone is supposed to be another 'old MMO' type deal

I quit the game. Does Occult Crescent even have cool rewards? A mount on par with Ozma/Cerberus?

Biggest "why?" for me is why the fuck is there no CLL equivalent in OC? I miss going in and saving 2 prisoners on my own with lost assassinate.

The issue with yhe character's voice isn't that it's a troon, it's that the voice acting is fucking horrendous. Legitimately joke tier bad, but without the humor or fun.

Aside from being one of tue buggiest pieces of content theyve introduced idk

>>712980212
Yeah I'm not subbed.

>>712969963
so it's justified then

>>712980436
Nah, dudes voice women and vica versa all the time, since acting began. The issue is that the retard they hired is a failed barrista, not a voice actor. He needs to stay at starbucks.

>>712969963
Yoshit piss wishes his only problem was problematic chuds instead of this stale piece of bread you call a game

>>712980543
VAs voicing the opposite gender are almost always women voicing male children and nothing else. Turns out deep voices don't sound like women!

How do I get a chance to make a character on the active servers? They're always full.

>>712979072
>when the actual company thinks it was bad enough to be worth changing, you are kind of just objectively correct in calling that troon's voice acting terrible.
still the funniest part of dawntrail for me
what the fuck were they thinking lmao

>>712980616
I could get with Wuk having Dr. Girlfriend's voice.

I used to jump back in every four months or so.
Haven't cared at all this expansion.
I did use one free login but didn't even care to finish the patch story.

>>712980436
They're correlated because the issues with his voice do come from being a man not knowing how to sound like a woman. But more importantly than that the issue is that he's fucking lazy. Trannies can train their voices to sound natural, I know because I've raided with several in this game, I've played with others in other games and chatted on voice chat casually with trannies I've met in steam friend threads and many of them actually bothered to train their voices and could at least pass as female over a casual voice chat conversation. Sena can't do that because he never tried, and he never tried because he's an underachieving faggot for whom his entire persona exists on the internet. That's why despite being an open tranny for over a decade, you can go on his twitter and see him still wearing male clothes with those greasy fucking autism sneakers. His real life and body don't matter to him, being a tranny for him is entirely about being perceived as an anime girl on the internet.

>>712977708
Y'shtola is the most valueable character Wizards of the Coast currently has.

>>712980763
How often are the free login campaigns? I'm subbing less and less but I don't want to lose touch with my friends.

>>712980616
I'm sure it's possible to find men who can do effective feminine voices. Not as much when you start tapping american VAs who generally don't know shit about actually acting instead of getting theatre actors and shit who have actual fucking experience acting.

I kinda regret even buying DT. Got baited by Picto cause I like drawing jobs but hell ain't it piss easy and boring like every other job. What did I even expect? The story was already godawful at the end of EW and the gameplay got lobotomised even further, like why.

>>712980929
Maybe three times a year. It's been more this time since the expansion sucked so much.

>>712969857 (OP)
I'd usually say fire Kate, but the shite content isn't even her fault.

>>712980860
No. Even the ones who "train" end up in the uncanny valley. I've yet to hear a passing troon voice. See "Athena"'s voice in Hades 2.

>>712977476
Who got slaughtered worse in DT, Alisaie or Krile?

>>712981146
Krile got fucked and sidelined but Alisaie received full character assassination.

>>712979919
Im so sick of the maintenances, why the fuck does the game need to be down for 12 hours for some bug fixes?

>>712981117

>>712972546
Forked Tower gets a regular queue like DR

>>712981364
>letting gays into the church was a mistake
Yes

>>712969857 (OP)
It's mixed on my machine

>>712981364
>shows more proof of gays being sex offenders
So... You're agreeing with him?

>>712981574
No you don't understand, the gay was calling himself a Christian at the time, so now you are le owned, chud.

>>712980910
Ok Tifa should not be mogging Yuna. The rest is acceptable, while not perfect.

>>712981435
>>712981574
Where exactly do gays factor into to a dude molesting his nieces?

>>712979254
I liked 1 more, the only thing I enjoyed in 2 was the world boss events with tons of people

>>712980929
usually, free login campaigns are after a month of the X.25 patch, so maybe this month or next but the problem is, we had a Callback campaign last month that works similar (a friend needs to invite you from the game to return to the game for a week) so I don't know if the will do one for summer because clearly they are going to do one when 7.3 drops.

>>712982168
*they aren't going to do one when 7.3 drops

>>712977378
>What does Dawntrail need to do to pull you back in?
Give me AST back
I skipped the expansion entirely off of the back of them finally finishing their murder of RNG in the job.
In hindsight I guess I dodged a bullet anyways.

>>712977378
Cute, wholesome Scion dating.

how do i get back to the new crafting zone i wanna fish...

>>712977378
it needed to reinvent the game desu.
was never gonna happen, but there was never a better time than dawntrail to start experimental shit. it fit both thematically and in terms of the "formula" getting stale.

Whatever dude.

>>712972887
Is he the JP Elon trying to prove he's a gamer™ ?

>>712978907
you forgot that all of this is gatekept by DT's MSQ

>>712981146
Krile
>this will be Krile's expansion
>ends up just being a few cutscenes in the final zone which are awkwardly interrupted by G'raha and Wuk

>there are people who actually thought Endwalker was good and think DT was bad
>People keep crying that DT is stormblood (which was actually good too)

When will you faggots just admit you have main character syndrome?

>>712984025
oh no no no no...

>>712984178
DT is like if Stormblood had awful job designs, a worse story and the patches all took an extra month to be released.

>>712984025
>six month patch cycles
DEFEND THIS!

>>712984414
Retard.

>>712984414
>DEFEND THIS!
T-they released so many items on mog station tho, like:
>Warden's Attire: A full outfit inspired by the Warden.
>Modern Aesthetics - The Warden: A hairstyle associated with the Warden.
>Ten Pots of Jet Black Dye: A set of dyes.
>Emote: Blow Bubbles: A fun, bubble-blowing emote.
>Leisurewear Attire: A casual outfit.
>Adventurer's Supply Kit: A collection of useful items.
>Spriggan Attire: An outfit resembling a Spriggan.
>Emote: Frighten: An emote to express fear.
>Modern Aesthetics - Voidswept Strands: Another hairstyle option.
it's ok when we get 1 major content per 6 months

>>712984565
Retard.

>>712984643
>>712984459
Go crying.

>>712969963
Feeling the need to declare to the world that a voice is trans is some serious mental illness

>game is one of SE's most successful and profitable games, absolutely glowing player feedback and engagement off the back of Shadowbringers
>Endwalker continues to be popular, things are looking good
>suck all the money out of the game for other projects, including its director, and refuse to invest in the game
>endwalker post patch content is the worst content the game has EVER seen except maybe post ARR patches
>absolutely nothing new, same old tired content cycle, 1 trial, 1 dungeon (corridor) etc
>relic quests are a literal insult, DoH/L is just 30 expert crafts that you macro and afk, combat is tied to Hildebrand, fringe content that many players dont like, then again, just tome turn ins and a 30 second cutscene
>patch cycle is also a month slower than usual despite less content
damn the game is dying lets release an expansion ages later with complete filler story, one of the most unlikeable characters ever, and even less content!
island sanctuary was fine and criterion was fun enough but there's 0 reason to engage with it after clearing it once

i played XIV from ARR > EW and really thought when i quit 'you'll be back soon, you've played this game for nearly a decade now, you'll resub' and i genuinely haven't even considered it a single time

>>712983234
That is only the case if your eyes havw low FOV

>>712969857 (OP)
>New exploration zone dungeon is another discord pre-made only bullshit like BA
Yeah what did they expect?

>>712985116
>less content
endwalker was the expac with no content, dawntrail has content but debatable if its good or not OC is worse than the previous forays so far despite being hyped up as "the best parts of eureka and bozja"

>>712985281
I've been liking it a lot to be honest.

>>712985281
the issue being solved already by bozja? retard

>>712985339
>endwalker was the expac with no content
maybe that's what made me quit while getting filter with the DT MSQ... I didn't feel that I had alternatives other than finishing the MSQ to unlock new stuff...

>>712985412
Well yeah, doing DT on release when all its gonna have after msq is like raid shit so all you have left to fall back on is older content if you somehow haven't already done that.

>>712969963
I play in JP and don't give a fuck about that.
The story and writing were so colossally bad that if I didn't have friends to raid with I would have cold cock quit the game, uninstalled and unsubbed right there in the middle of it. It's such unbelievable dogshit that the people responsible deserve to be put in a mental asylum, unless they were literal children in which case I'd still be disappointed.
Teletubbies is more coherent and dramatic than the asinine drivel that is Dawntrail.

>>712969857 (OP)
How the FUCK does a XIV patch "fall short of expectations" in a post-DT world? Who still has ANY expectations?

>>712986561
Chaotic was then I lost all hope that the devs were able to pull anything fun of.
OC is vindicating me that I am completely right, as much as it pains me. Yoshida defining Savage as 'Midcore' is absolutely retarded.

>>712969963
Good.

I unsubbed and won't be back. I think the devs have lost the plot. They're copying content that's a ~decade old and still fuck it up.

>>712986886
I wonder if they even have an "A team" left at this point.

>>712987043
they have "a" team... like some random dudes

>>712987220
If I were YoshiP I'd be throwing them under the bus hand over fist.

>>712987357
YoshiP is sadly part of the problem at this point. Look at some of the terrible decisions made around FF16, or around letting Kate lead localization. That's all on him.

>>712987357
He can't... that team is probably the mog station team and it's the most profitable

>>712987418
Yeah, just saying that he ought to be going full purge mode about now if he wants to fix anything instead of doing what he's been doing.

>>712978967
They probably just saw BA had more engagement overall and took it's core design for entry. But forgot that boss mechanics are waaaay simpler compared to modern raid designs now.

>>712987773
They also forgot that 90% of the reason people suffer through that shit is only to get the tranny marble.

>>712987870
>the tranny marble.
t-the what?

I LOVE OC

>>712987931
Transforming Ozma mount

>>712972546
Really for OC they should gives more ways to get sliver/gold coins, add more fates/CEs on the map , lower the costs of the mats needed to upgrade stuff, make selling stuff for slivers be 100 coins not fucking 10, and for FT make it so you don’t get kicked out if you lose just get sent back to the start so you can at least prog it I’m fine with the three limit raise even tho that’s also dumb because ba had just one raise

Expecting gachashit tiers of updates for a mmo is unrealistic when there's no mmo out there that actually gets constantly updated like every month or so.

>>712988193
No wonder MMOs are a dying genre.

>>712988147
Why do we always set the bar so low and act as if the bare minimum of how the game should work is acceptible?

Fate player proximity count should cause an instantaneous buff to fate mobs, so you don't have people running there and arriving right as it finishes before it procs.

It's a fucking game, literally anything is possible, and it's not even a dev time issue as much as it is a dev competency issue.

>>712988193
why were ffxiv fans laughing at wowplayers when sneedolands had 1 patch per year then? weren't their expectations rather unrealistic back then or is this a case of double standards?

>>712988247
>dying
It's been dead, WoW and XIV are the last stars in the universe before heat death

>>712988193
Original pso2 had smaller monthly updates and it worked just fine for it.

>>712973198
From what my friend said the highest gather stuff is pure rng so even if you have the best of the best you can still get fucked out of a gold star and make it so gp comes back after a mission is done so it doesn’t mess with the flow of missions because with how it is now you have to wait. It’s much easier with crafters

>>712988147
FT will never work in its current form if they keep the way how you enter it. It is just way too hard with an uncoordinated, spontaneously forming group. Difficulty needs to be lowered if they want to keep that entry. If they just keep it that way its another slap in the face of casual players who OC should cater to.

>>712987870
you need to get your meds.

sorry, "tranny meds" for your "tranny brain" "tranny problems"

>>712988247
At the same time getting what? A new coom character + some recycled areas and bosses + some cutscenes is considered peak content update only because it updates every month?
>>712988381
There's no double standard, the game is the same has it has ever been. You are getting 5 major patches that have what you already know in it. WoW gets like 3 with the same time span difference between them more or less. No game in the MMO space has constant updates like the gachas.
>>712988440
PSO2 is dead in the water.

>>712988523
Well yeah, pso2 got into maintenance mode after a decade and making Sega over a billion dollars and ngs has been going for five years now.
How does that changed what i said?

WoW won

Now if only it had sexo catgirls in it

>>712988441
crafting in general needs a complete top down rework, it genuinely needs to be made less complex and more engaging, right now top level is basically use an external solver and copy and paste the results into macros

>>712978707
>They're not going to completely retool every phantom job to be more like lost actions
Why the fuck would you even want this, that sounds fucking retarded

>>712972546
sphene bathwater

>>712988612
it has draenei tho, catgirls can be found in other games too

>>712988612
SoD is dead
Classic is buckbroken cuck stockholm syndrome retards
Retail is trannies who just don't know how much better FFXIV is yet

Should I even finish Endwalker and be done with it?
My subscription went out soon after I finished SHW and started End, but I never came back.

>>712988775
finish the 6.0 story and unsub

>>712988775
Don't give money to companies that are doing things you don't like. It's a moral crime.

>>712979824
>need to get 1000 carrots
>which are stupidly rare and costs a shit ton on the mb
I don’t think they play tested this stuff or they switch the rates with something

>>712988775
this >>712988816 but make it more dramatic like finishing the last MSQ quest on your last sub day so your sub ends on the credits scene. Unfathomable kino experience

>>712980910
Jesus, is MTG these walls of text now? What's wrong with just having a '6/6 Trample'?

>>712988929
Might as well.

>>712983987
They won't since FF14 is for milking retards while funding SE's other failed ventures

>>712980368
That's because the VA is trying to force a specific voice tone that their body cannot produce.

>>712988775
Finish Endwalker then log out and uninstall as soon as the MSQ credits roll.

>>712970276
>>712979674
Corporations selling sex after PR disasters is always so funny, especially if it’s seemingly incongruous to their perceived values. Like Overwatch going from, “our first non-binary hero!!!” To “check out this busty Norwegian redhead.”

Xiv really is the only mmo i've played where they solve a player dilemma, only to bring it back in a later patch. Utterly insane

>>712989352
Oh and to make this related to XIV I fucking guarantee they’re adding romance/dating into the game to try and appeal to the “chuds.”

>>712977087
Do you actually use your house for anything? Let it go if not.
>>712988523
>PSO2 is dead in the water.
Tossing out a decade of content and a perfectly solid foundation for rushed garbage will do that.

execute yoshi p on camera and destroy everything with another meteor

>>712989462
Don't listen to this fuck, he's trying to get you to relinquish your house so there's more housing available for him to try to bid on.

>>712989451
>they’re adding romance/dating
I doubt it, best case scenario a single (1) quest where you "date" one (1) NPC in a cutscene where they /nod and say nothing in particular

>>712978117

That's most MMOs, apparently once you slap that label on a game it becomes illegal to make the combat much more complicated than "press buttons in this order while you avoid piss puddles".

>>712989451
It would unironically solve a lot of grievances people have with the MSQ. Flesh out the main cast in a non world ending scenario, let you bond with characters so you have something to hold onto when another dawntrail happens, introduce actual RP mechanics to the game... And all you lose is being able to do Y'shtola fake-out deaths.

>>712976161
And rightfully so. But I think SE should be mocked more, since they allowed themselves to be hoodwinked into hiring a fucking dangerhair that brought a troon nepohire that can't act for shit and embarrassed the entire expansion with it. First impressions matter a lot and most dubfags first impression of Dawntrail was a man trying and failing at pretending to be a woman successfully screeching at them.

>>712982591
it's a futa oc, isn't it?

>>712979254
>furshit and an objectively antiwhite narrative
No thanks.

>Housing
quit on August and never got an email about my house being demolished or anything. A month ago I had someone check out cause I was curious if it's still there and it was. Is auto-demolish off or is it a bug?

DT completely killed my interest in playing. I didnt do the final boss because the que took more than 2 minutes.
I hope the next expac is better because I don't want to bury FF14 like I did with wow during cata

>>712971554
In dawntrail I'm just using the stereotypical native american outfit from 2.0 just to fuck with tural trying to subvert my conquistador fantasy.

>>712989639
If you have to ask, the answer is always "yes".

>>712989451
>>712979794

>>712989810
If you're NA they recently re-enabled it.
If you're EU it's still disabled.

>>712989639
its the futa oc that has been railing yshtola for 10 years by now

I wish they stopped doing EX where it's "one mistake? lol you're dead and it's gonna snowball toward being unrecoverable". it makes PF an unbearable and experience where fuckers will drop after 2-3 wipes because not everyone has memorized the autistic DDR week 1

>>712971554
It's "My existence is pain" appropriate.

>>712982591
>>712990094
I unironically and strongly believe that brown-cat owner would attempt to assassinate Yoshi-P and ff14 team if they allow random WoLs to date Yshtola

>>712990163
Nah, since it would also allow him to do it, I doubt it, I think he'd kill Yoshida if he set Shtola up with Runar legitimate couple style.

>>712990094
still better than the Au'Ra railing Alisae

>>712990227
which one of the maleras?

what was wrong with oc? I skipped it

>>712977709
No all I care about is getting rid of Wuk and the lizard brat.
Rest are non-problems.

>>712990272
there are several? I don't memorize oc faces, it's cringe

>>712990278
the raid is like doing savage using a roulette queue

>>712990005
Corporations releasing prideshit during the American Ramadan doesn’t mean anything. It’s so cultural that it lacks the religious intent behind it. YoshiP will fawn over trans kids while announcing a bigger, bustier Yshtola in the same breath. Again, it’s like Overwatch celebrating pride month but then releasing back-to-back busty white whores and an entire new slew of sexy Mercy skins.

>>712988639
Crafting is fine, it’s gathering that needs something

>>712987938
I really wish I could love OC like this, but without mixing Phantom Job abilities / traits after unlocking them like FFV and the fact that there's no real point to mastering jobs outside of bettering oneself for Forked Tower that is beyond the average player it seems, the only thing left is gold grinding, which is like another third of the content locked away from casual play since they designed OC to just be Fate and CE spam it seems.

I'm looking forward to next phase of Relic Weapons being light grinding like Eureka had to cause us to have a reason to build up gold as well, since it's not a natural process as far as I'm aware at the moment.

>>712990424
thanks, that does sound like CBT, but after the chaotic alliance raid, it's not unexpected

>>712990509
>Crafting is fine
Maybe, if you're massively autistic. Did you also think Stranger of Paradise end game job gear management was fine?

>>712990278
Mainly no queue for the raid dungeon, otherwise generally low drop rates and lack of rewards for doing anything. The Job system is nice but that's the only thing it has going for it. But most of all it just isn't an improvement over previous field ops, if not actually worse than Bozja.

>>712990683
crafting is overturned, it requires you optimal gear for the highest recipes instead of a more adaptive approach where the player has to solve the minigame in response to rng events

>>712990503
Nah, Yoshida legitimately believes it, he's one of those self hating libshit japs that are ashamed of their Imperial past.

>>712969857 (OP)
I haven't bought DT but people are saying it's bozja with missing features. Why do game companies do this? DD2 was DD1 with less enemies, less skills, less features. Why does this happen it makes no god damn sense. You are literally relying on ffxiv to generate income and you copy/paste previously successful content, then REMOVE half of its content and call it a sequel??

>>712990503
>announcing a bigger, bustier Yshtola in the same breath
Has this ever happened?

>>712990905
Their excuse this time is that it's "NEW CONTENT" now shredded into three updates, since 7.4 will bring new jobs and 7.5 will have even more jobs I think as well as a new map to work through. Small indie company budget with low morale among staff since DT was received overall poorly by non-paid journalists and fans.

>>712990683
What the fuck are you talking about? Just eat food, drink your juice, have the gear and you can macro everything

>>712990706
>if not actually worse than Bozja.
wow, a lot of people I knew waited for the new field op, I guess it may be the last month they ever play this game if it's this bad.

>>712991006
Yes, Yoshi-P commissioned Yshtola porn in 2016. Don’t ask me how I know, it’s on Rule 34.

>>712991130
the point is, if it were a more engaging system, the solution wouldn't be "just macro everything" - it would be a system you actually wanted to play

>>712987773
theres no way BA had more engagement than bozja castrum/dalriada

>>712991006
Would be the first thing they get right in DT.

they need to use DT as an excuse to re-brown her

>>712991271
No it doesn’t I do gathering for that

>>712984115
>>712984459
>>712984643
<The Seething Legend>

>>712971554
Yes. But it's quite boring for outsider.
Love it though

I dunno about anyone else but I haven't really touched Occult Crescent since the first day. Once I learned how Forked Tower is I lost all motivation.

What am I grinding for if I can't just hope in the area dungeon and go? Zero interest in coordinating with discord trannies just for the chance to maybe go through it.

>>712991308
I think real Sphene is at a good start within the MSQ. Course we have to wait and see if they kill her off like they've been doing to any potential waifu.

>>712991597
your relic

>>712969963
Well voiced cutscenes and spectacle boss fights are the games only selling point so yeah people should be mad about a dei hire dragging an entire expansion down into mediocrity.

>>712991558
I wish we could dye those fucking coats

>>712991558
I have practically the exact same glam, except on male elezen.

>>712991528
the gathering system is pretty shit and unengaging too anon, stop having such low standards

>>712991597
They had a winning recipe with dalriada and CLL don’t know why it wasn’t copied

>>712991432
Stormblood with her eyes back is my ideal

>>712991774
Too easy, current head of encounter design refuses to release any none savage content in any of the new content types.

okay so, occult eureka is good or bad? should i resub and play? is it interesting?

bozha was good, eureka was good, first one. second was pretty hard but still okay. i think this one is okay too.

>>712969963
Let this be a lesson then.

At this point should I be glad stopping at shadowbringers

>>712992204
>if you don't want to do forked tower
no, it's a bit fun, but it's pretty barebone and you do the content very quickly.
>if you want to do forked tower

is forked tower even that difficult outside of getting a group together with the correct amount of classes in the same instance?

I think Bozja is genuinely a great MMO concept; It's something that's been teased in many MMOs. Hundreds of players go to a zone to do a boss or mob rush with actual mechanics, basically a dungeon fight but in the open world. Bozja was just an open world map made for the sole purpose of doing just that. Fighting dungeon-tier bosses and mobs each with their own mechanics just like you'd find in a dungeon or raid, except you're doing it in a big open world instead of a linear dungeon. And since it's open world there's still other things you can do such as quest or grind normal lone mobs, then whenever you feel like fighting bosses again you just walk right back into it with no loading screens or queue times to join a party. And on top of all that they add actual linear raids that you can join while in this open world that is tied directly to it, so you still have the option for traditional raiding on top of fucking everything else you get to do.
idk about you but that's fucking fun and a GREAT concept that could honestly work as an entire game concept.

I liked the duels, beating Lyon with seconds remaining on my instance timer gave me a rush like no other.

>>712992505
Its first floor savage, all around. The resurrection limit is what makes it absolutely terrible to 'prog' on. Some first have mechanics where one person can wipe the 47 other idiots as well. It is the same shit they did with Chaotic: Mechanics by itsself aren't hard, but even if everyone inside has a 95% chance of doing everything perfectly, its a less than 30% chance of succeeding because it is so many people.

>People wait years for a new field operation.
>It's worse than Bozja.
They have completely given up lol.

>>712992505
Most of it is Extreme/Floor 1 Savage level mechanics, but then there are several points where a single person out of 48 fucking up can wipe the whole raid

>>712992881
OC is carried by the job system is why. I can't fathom how you do another Bozja but don't include at bare minimum everything that Bozja had like duels.

>>712993046
bodychecks is easy excuse to cater to an entitled audience because if someone dies then everyone can use the excuse and deflect any player responsibility

>>712993053

I mean, this sounds totally okay. This content was about this, doing fates, and then going into Ozma dungeon, or into Dalriada, or other bozha dungeons, i don't quite remember the name.

besides, ok, i know ffxiv has not that much of content, casuals want some easy contents, usual wormans want something like dungeons/extremes, people that has time want more savages/ultimates. but for people that want "eureka content" this sounds nice.

Why is farming gold such a pain in the ass in OC?

>>712993262

>>712993375
Yeah, but it fucking sucks that 1 person can easily wipe the whole raid. You don't have a say about who joins or not. It's very time wasting because there is especially a lot of tourists that are gonna make you regret spending 40 mn per attempts. And the last boss seems a bit tougher especially.
It is BA with "updated" mechanics, but you get fucked way more by your teammates, very frustratingly.

>or into Dalriada, or other bozha dungeons
There are no such things in OC. It's either farming CE/Fates/gold (which gets very old very fast), or CBT (at least for me) in FT.
The farming itself is the most boring I've had the displeasure to have in this game. Gold farming sucks, but silver chests spawning takes the cake at being the absolute worst thing I don't even want to do.

It's because Christ Cucks are typically self loathing people. They hate themselves, so they join the church in a professional capacity to control those urges. Suprise suprise - being in a restrictive environment doesn't make this urges, homo or hetero, don't go away. So they commit these actions. They realize it's the perfect setting to do this shit, since at least the Catholic Church does everything it can to cover it up.

And don't drop this whole, "hurr it's because as a society we strayed away from God", when even in the "good ol' days" this shit was just as rampant, it was just never talked about. Like those white picket family types having alcoholic fathers who look nice in photos.

First off the Steam reviews are talking about Occult Crescent the big MMO content called a Foray.
>Occult Crescent has disappointed many people

Also as other people have pointed out even if your bait post were true
>negative reviews are just angry over a trans VA
Then this should be a lesson having a trans VA is not popular among the player base.
You're not going to bully people into spending their free time and spending their own money on a game that has something they do not want to hear and experience.

You either offer them what they want or you lose them as a customer which is what happened to FFXIV with Dawntrail, it did not offer what players wanted.

SE is very allergic to randomly targeted mechanics that don't affect the whole party, it partially makes sense because it'd be too easy to keep runs going with how raising works in XIV, but it makes a lot of wipes feel awful and undeserved. Could be parsefags whining about random mechanics ruining their funny number. So all they're left with are mechanics that hit and require the entire party to resolve.

>>712994895
Seeing as it was originally claimed that 7.3 would return to the original x.3 expansion style of ending the current expansion storyline and setting up the next one with the remaining patch cycles, I'm interested to see how he biffs it by pushing his OC Wuk even further on us since he already was the reason we had Hroths to begin with and is clearly the only reason she's able to get special LB spam in her single fight and even stronger than WoL and his seven fishing friends during the Sphene fight.

If anything, he's probably just ready to grease the wheels for the media tours to hype up the fanfests and 8.0 tidbits where the US gets the worst fanfests, EU gets a job announcement and a bit of info, and JP get the solid package per usual.

>>712969857 (OP)
It was over the moment the 7.0 msq sucked. We coped and lied to ourself, thinking a bad story wouldn't hurt the game. But we were wrong. Watch the next expansion sell like shit compare to ew and dawnttrail. THERE IS NO HOPE, MANKIND IS FINISHED!

that anime sucks

I'm thoroughly convinced that Yoshida has taken Ishikawa and the rest of the A-team to work on the successor to XIV, while leaving the game to rot in the hands of the B-team.
It's probably not the worst idea either, since building a new game from scratch would also mean finally getting proper backend code that can finally let them do what they wanted to do in XIV but couldn't.

>>712996047
>What the fuck is a phantom job?
It's a package of lost actions/logos actions that you can level up. It's a pretty good spin on the lost actions system but some of the jobs are just boring. There's less room for experimentation and stupid combinations than in Eureka and Bozja.

>What the fuck is OC and why is it pissing people off?
The new foray. Reasons people are pissed off:
>Fucked up loot tables means silver chests are better than golds and a lot of old rare collectables are worthless now
>Fates and CEs spawn very quickly so the OC experience feels like a non-stop hunt train
>Forked Tower (the raid) has BA-style entry conditions but it's not feasible to PUG due to bodychecks and stuff. So organised groups have to spend an hour or more trying to get everyone in the same instance and then their raid gets fucked over by some rando who just wants to play the content
>There's no puggable easy-mode of it like Bozja had
On the bright side the zone looks good and is decent to explore, and there's an actual relic grind at last. But OC was supposed to save Dawntrail and it's clearly not good enough to do so.

>How did they fuck up SCH even more?
You have a new healing cooldown that makes you wear an angelic dress. So not only are you force-femmed but you're also force-WHMed

That's widely discussed as one of the most fun experiences in casual gameplay though, everyone has a story of some normal raid/trial/alliance roulette where they recovered from a near wipe and dragged some retards across the finish line. If they were sensible they'd just embrace it.
