Here Anon, they're really shitting themselves at the moment about the reception of Dawntrail and trying to tell people to please believe the cause, to stick with them for 8.0 and 9.0 is being worked on, honest!
Anyway they released a summary of the shareholders meeting. Of course it's in fucking Japanese

I hung out with my friends on the beach for hours in costa del sol today.
It was fun

We have no budget

>>713911562
That's pathetic.

8.0 is not going to be shadowbringer, so why the fuck would i care

day how many of furiously dilating about this one gratuitously mistranslated and misrepresented segment of a several hour livestream?

>>713910623 (OP)
Dawntrail didn't kill it. Endwalker did. Dawntrail just didn't have the perk of capping off a 10 year story to keep people illusioned with the state of the game. Yawntrail is just more of the slop Endwalker pumped out

>>713912725
it’s ironic that would you call people that hate xiv trannies given the state of the e playerbase

Game has been dead since Endwalker. Endwalker just had a good hook to get people into it so it didn't seem as sharp.

>>713912940
not really. i see a dude tear-streaked cheeks dilating over one dude multiple times a day and i call it out. that's part of board culture

People are pissed that the statement effectively reads "please we're working on the next part of FFXIV please look forward to it".
That next part being 8.0, but as people are pointing out what about the immediate term? What about 7.3 .4 and .5 that's still another 1year and a half at least of wait time until 8.0.
We already waited through 6.x content drought for the hope that Dawntrail was going to be a banger and it just wasn't, it absolutely wasn't worth the wait so people are not going to do that again in the 'hope' that 8.0 will be better.
Do something NOW not years later.

>>713913580
please honorable player-sama, two more weeks

>>713913580

I'M GONNA DOOMP OH GOD I'M DOOMPING

>>713910623 (OP)
The reason they are not spending money on ff14 is cause they know the players won't leave, so suck it up, shut the fuck up and eat that shit.

>>713914014
>Honestly the worst part of the community is comments like this. Content creators are players, real players (although that should be obvious), in fact they are players who often dedicate more time and passion to the game. To simply label them as "grifters" or "doomposters" when they are unsatisfied or frustrated about something, and then hound them out of the community just exposes how rotten the GCBTW is.

I just read that comment on the forums and thought it absolutely sums up your attitude.

What causes this kind of behavior? Why doesn't he simply talk about video games?

>>713914380
He's right, though. You faggots have nothing of value to add.

>>713911408
Windurst won't get one either. The last tier will be Tavnazia. San d'Oria gets the special treatment because of its relation to Tavnazia and everything that happened there.

>>713914481
I've not once seen him try to talk about the game, all he does it try to shut down conversation about the game
>I'm gonna doomp oh god I'm doomping
For someone that doesn't like the folder spammer I'm sure thinking it's him the way he brings him up out of nowhere when we're talking about the recent shareholders meeting for FFXIV.

>>713914498
Unlike you with this very, very valuable and highly insightful post >>713914014

>>713914583
I haven't looked at the 11 raid much, but isn't it multiple locales in one wing?

>>713914686
Yeah, the name of the tier is just the first location you start in. They also showed Qufim and Delkfutt's Tower in the preview images for San d'Oria.

>>713913580
I miss the dynamism of the 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 days. It feels like with Shadowbringers they went all in on just pushing deadlines for badly needed changes off to the "next version"

>>713910623 (OP)
FF15 is dogshit game

>>713914331
I did leave though. I cancelled my sub and let my house go. And I'm not the only one. Most of my old FC is also gone and a bunch of the weird club people I used to know from Crystal are now on VRChat.

>>713914686
yeah, jeuno was just the first zone and we ported to a new zone right after the first boss. sandoria, probably just outside the castle. then to behemoth's dominion for KB. then back to tu'lia for kamlanaut and/or ealdnarche.

>>713914747
>>713914901
So couldn't some of the locations you think won't make it in still make it in?

You know 14 must be doing well since the schizo is spamming 24/7 trying to convince people its bad again

>>713914961
Here is a ball of wool, go sit in the corner and play with that while the rest of us talk about the game.

>>713914954
It's possible but the theme so far seems to be a city zone to start in and then dungeon areas. Seems like they're only doing stuff from vanilla, RotZ, and CoP too, so probably nothing from Aht Urhgan or Adoulin as much as I'd love a surprise Alexander and/or Odin.

not fixed. when se fixes something in xiv it’s usually 3 years later. is it really impossible for the post-social media generation to advocate for true fixes to problems? they seem content with blaming other players instead of the developers and are far too eager to settle for 10% of what they originally asked for

>>713914961
>since the schizo is spamming 24/7 trying to convince people its bad again
that's been happening for like over half a decade

Does anyone believe the 8.0 job design at this point?
Ok hypothetically let's say they are redesigning jobs for 8.0 how would they even do it? They would have to redesign their encounters because the job design became so homogeneous and streamlined to fit with the Savage and Ultimates.

Will they redesign the newest jobs as well like Viper and Picto or leave them as they are?

What's people thinking on this right now?

>>713915379
1 button mode coming, that way you don't have to sacrifice space for important e/rp emotes.

>>713914954
oh yeah. we jumped from Jeuno to the Boyhada Tree to Tu'lia to Castle Zvahl. i'm pretty sure that as >>713915218 said CoP will be the limit, and there's lots of cool zones to work with. maybe we'll get to see a promyvion

>>713915478
Honestly, even though you're joking I think you're not entirely wrong. I think the 8.0 job redesign is going to be more like Viper and less like Stormblood job systems.

>>713914961
Do you think the schizo will off himself after xiv closes shop or will he keep reposting on v? Imagine how much he was shitting his chair when 4chan went down

So when XIV is still around 3, 4, 6, 8 years from now, what will the cope be?
>I-it's dying this time for real
>H-heh, but it did die... spiritually. It died in my mind therefore I wonned

>>713915630
I thought we were getting something like what they do with npcs when you have to play as them in the msq, where their skills turn into the next skill in the combo. They really need to do something about button bloat though.

>>713915728
I'm just going to filter you from now on as all you've done for each post is complain that people are talking about the game.

>>713915379
Hire whoever did the PvP redesigns.

>>713915802
o/

>>713915838
i don't think people are ready for the level of pruning pve would have if we had the pvp moveset. combat would have to get a lot more dynamic and health pools would have to go down significantly, both for players and monsters

>>713915728
just look at how people complained wow was dying multiple times in the past 15 years for the exact same arguments.

>>713910623 (OP)
They need to fix the alt experience. WoW does it perfect. Just copy them. Also I am not resubbing until they add Time Mage.

>>713915965
>pvp moveset
It doesn't have to be the literal pvp moveset, but given that it's the only mode in the game where jobs feel distinct I don't think it's a bad place to start from.

>>713915784
I like that idea, or and I know this would be work but the test is separate the jobs and give people options.
So what I mean specifically here is in PVP they gave each job a new combat actions streamline the jobs, making the combat faster e.t.c. you press the same button and it does your rotation for you or you string together combos far easier.
It seems really simple but I recommend people trying out Reaper in PVP to see that yes on the surface it's simple but if you master Rpr in PVP knowing you are basically a god.

The point I'm making here is pve combat, the jobs are designed around high end content like Ultimate's and Savage, so anything below that it feels boring and unsatisfying, my solution would be to try and give separate job packages/ options depending on the level of content you're doing so they wouldn't need to change their encounter design but now you don't have to be stuck to Savage and Ultimate pve job design out in the Open world for Fates or doing normal dungeons.

>>713916124
Your'e getting Time Mage when I get Geomancer. Never.

>>713913875
You do you, but I'm not wasting skill points to spec into shit eating so I can get a food buff from turds.

>>713913580
>Do something NOW
How? The talented members of the team are being moved to other projects. It'll take time before they can build up a new crop of talent.

The XIV playerbase is easily swayed by narratives, which is how they ended up in XIV to begin with, but you just need to take a step back and say - okay. This expansion wasn't my favourite. I'll unsub and come back for the next cap. There's no urgency. If the next cap is bad, unsub for that one too.

>>713916295

>>713914865

Don't forget this rainbow activist they hired as a director last year.

FT is cool.

>Pandaemonium should have been the post-Endwalker storyline
>Zero and the 13th shard shit should have been a raid
>Wuk Lamat should have never existed
>Dawntrail should have been just you and different Scions going on dungeon crawls leading up to the current story line

At this point Yoshi-P might as well just bring back Emet and Zenos and start throwing in dating sim mechanics if he doesn't want the game to flop. And he needs to get rid of that fat fuck Hiroi and bring back some real writers.

I miss the weird ffxiv webm that used to get posted here.

>>713916862
Such a lame reward. Why didn't they make the head/hands sticking out, your character's?

>>713917364
>wasting your life
No need for that. Anyone with a shred of sense uses trust botting to get it done. Every time you notice someone in your FC or friends list running the same easily-solved dungeon a dozen times a day, you know exactly what they're doing. Even if you don't have or won't use bots, you can grab the standard two-pack pull of mobs, wait for your tank trust to pick them up, and then retreat a safe distance and afk until they kill them. No engagement on your part required at all outside of walking and fighting the bosses.

are you?

>>713918578
How I read the reply chain is that they didn't make enough NEW mounts and minions to actually have a good loot table and padded it with old stuff. Which is objectively true. They didn't need to pad the loot table.

>>713917364

>>713918795
how is this not the case when they literally made more new stuff for OC in 7.25 than they did for Bozja in 5.35?
Also hownewru?

>>713914961
Yeah pretty much

I still have the original physical copy of this game on CD when it very first released. I was really enjoying it but apparently I was in the minority and everyone else hated it so much they brought the game offline to "fix it". Never came back. Don't regret it either. That is all. Thanks for reading this pointless post.

>>713917364
Cocksuckers like this funding Square Enix's Pride shit is why FF14 will never improve.

>>713918514
sis why were they padding in bozja lockboxes
is it because they didn't make enough content?

>>713915379
As far as old content, I think the best option would be to declare it legacy content with it being second priority. Give a 'new start' so people can either bring in their WoL or make a new one, and essentially just go from basic. If they're actually reworking the entire system, people are gonna have to relearn it anyways. Hit every class with a redesign.
I doubt they'd do it, but I think it's the best option for the health of the game.

Ohhhh nooooooo

>>713910623 (OP)
I like the fact that one of the major complaints for the expansion of this "MMO" was that the cutscenes were bad. Not that an MMO has fucking cutscenes at all, just that they were bad. The absolute state of the "MMO Community" and FFXIV trannies in particular.

>narrative decline since 5.3
The devs have pandered to you Emet and Elidibus fujoshits so much and you still complain

>>713919793
If 7.2 is considered maintenance mode I'd hate to see what an actual maintenance mode looks like. HotS is a maintenance mode game and that's probably because servers costs are cents on the dollar for Actiblizz.

>>713919695
Even with the troon VA, all they had to do was:
1. Leave Wuk in Tural and completely gone from the Solution Nine second half
2. Remove the fucking rubber bullets from Texas and have people actually die
But no, you get Kate writing and sensitivity consultant slop. Of course all the players quit.

>>713919953
eight months for a new dungeon and relics being tome trash again is maintainence mode

>>713919953
Maintenance mode for XIV is probably just leaving the servers on until there aren't enough players paying the server cost.

they literally are. common trash! takes more effort to buy new crafted gear for a million gil (not that gil matters either) after they said they weren't doing cheap common tome trash relics again. the developers, and you yoshi, are *liars*

>>713920657
I would say stuff like Voracious Resurgence brought XI out of maintenance mode for a while. Stuff like Ambuscade cycling bosses each month isn't really new if that's what you're trying to argue.

>>713921458
is that a "yes, they are?" or what

>>713920862
Because Yoshida fucked off to make XVI and left her in charge. So she nepo hired her calicuck VA clique, including Sena Bryer, instead of the. beloved britbongs from 3.0-6.0. The same clique that was exposed for threatening non-union VAs and got bigger companies like Mihoyo to abandon American hires completely.

>>713921598
Where's your relics, anon?

>>713921608
She legally costs SE money every year just by being such an unhealthy, ugly fat fuck. It's mandated in japanese law

>>713921647
so that's a "yes, they are."

incidentally, are you asking me if i have more relics then you? because i do. i have more everything in ffxiv than you do lol. you sound like a sprout anyway happy for old loot in new content because you don't already have it

but! this isn't about me specifically this is about the game giving less than ever, and it is

>>713921873

Well, if you're on a vidya board and you don't actually play vidya, nor have a job, or a partner, or children, or family that wants to be around you, you gotta find something to do with your life.

yoshitpiss hasn't played his own game since 3.0

My sub ran out last week and I don't even feel bad about losing my house, I honestly doubt I'll even play 8.0 at this point.

>>713910623 (OP)
Even the people I know who were interested in the free trial were immediately turned off by Mogstation signup. If your game doesn't have Google or Facebook login integration in 2025 it's DOA.

>>713921139
They just added a bunch of stuff with the new Limbus and AF+4 (tho af+4 is pretty underwhelming)

>>713923305
>get excited for limbus
>remember class balance has been shit since 80 cap
meh

>>713910623 (OP)
Dawntrail completely ruined the game. Even if they suddenly made an absolutely kino expansion the idea that i'd still have to go through the rest of Dawntrail would probably keep me from coming back. I got filtered.

Now that ziv is dead and buried, which mmo is Preach killing next?

Lalafells won btw

yea wtf were they thinking putting ultimate tier raids into casual content

>>713924271
those uppity raid trannies were seething about that and the atma grind. fucking hilarious.

dawntrail's content is really good though. fuck stroyfags.

this guy? looooooooossssseeeeeerrrrrrr

Not every fanbase can cope with a Shadowlands downfall, I guess.

>>713923809
I thought they were cooler as smallfolk hailing from tropical islands that established themselves as merchants and mages after coming to the mainland. It's lame that Dawntrail turned them into aliens essentially. Their lore is ruined.

>>713913580
>banger
You deserve what you got for talking like a fag

>>713924419

Speedreader-kun...? Lalafell are from the Source.

the content is good, the problem is, it isn't enough and it arrives to late

>>713913580
yoshi is OBSESSED with future proofing the game like he thinks shit's gonna die any day and he wants everything to be functional while in maintenance mode
it's like a self fulfilling prophecy in a way, very poetic

>dawntrail's content is really good though

>>713924578
Sure, HP inflation is dogshit. But chinks making 20x what Square makes with 4 niggas in a row will endlessly be embarrassing for you xivcucks.

folder dumpers here lmao.

>>713923902
Dumpy or Foldie, which one sounds better to you lads?
I personally prefer Dumpy

>>713925103
There is still the JP voice actor. She's an actual woman. She did a good job too despite being tied to the worst character in the game.

>companies recognizing wokeshit as radioactive and pulling back

I wish the stereotypes about japs being 10 years behind weren't true

>>713925195

Nice argument, you've convinced me

>>713923180
>trooonsky this late
the definition of out of touch.
that shit is dead and most corporations left already.

Everytime I read these reads I am amused because you mmo players really are just addicts that had one not even that bad thing happen and you're lashing out like angry dogs, it's honestly hilarious and pretty sad.

Who can actually save FFXIV?
Yoshida is too busy sucking tranny cocks, Ishikawa went back to fujo fanfics, soken is a fraud and Koji is mia. The rest are either troon enablers or yes men.

>>713924886
yes. the extremes and raids are great. do you have anything other than anime reaction images?

You know, I want to impregnate Alisaie and vigorously attempt to impregnate Alphinaud but despite the great premise that image has it didn't draw her face very well.

>>713925316
It's like a handful of brainbroken retards trying hard to crash the game by acting like smelly speds and accomplishing nothing of note, really.
Most of us don't spend the entire day going YOSHITPISS YOSHITPISS WUK SENA WUK KATE SENA XIV DEAD AAaAA SENA IS IN MY WALLS TROONS

>>713925420
dungeons and trials are good too
the only bad thing is the story and wuk lamat obsession

>>713925224
I hope they wise up soon. Otherwise the next couple of years are gonna be rough for their video game industry.

>>713925423
What's the plan?

Only Toriyama can save it

>>713925497
Dungeons are not good, more fucking stale bread made with the same forumla as always. OC is pure dogshit, Planet exped is somehow even worse than the island.

you know, for all the doomposting this game gets I'm genuinely having a great time with it, it seems like each xpac i do gets gets better and better. /v/ just being retarded as usual

>>713925472
H A N D L E S

>>713925695
Doomposting has rarely ever amounted to or indicated anything other than the fact that /v/ likes TORtanicing games more than it likes playing them, and that there's some gay ass tribalism war going on.
Hope you continue enjoying yourself, anon.

>>713925695
Maybe you're just a shiteater.

This jeet is so desperate for the spammer to acknowledge him
He's going crazy!

>>713925653
The ARR dungeons were tedious back in the day but i miss them because they atleast tried to do something different from the straight line with 3 bosses we have today.

>>713924583
who is this semen demon?

>>713925838
if there's no friction there's no point.
current dungeons might as well not exist or just be three boss rooms back to back.

>>713925472
get someone with AI to fix it

>>713925695
Leveling up and going through the MSQ for the first time is still fun, the cracks for the game start to show once you're done with that and have been subbed for at least a year to be out of the honey moon phase

true, its why i dont take it so seriously especially when it comes to MMOs, people get obsessed with their game and want all others to fail.

>>713925937
sounds like a pretty good deal to me if i get a year+ out of a game

>>713925695
it's not just /v/ it's MMO players being actually mentally, but since it's also SE and FF you're getting a lot of other mentally ill people that unironically believe what they're saying

related to FFXIV


<Question 8>
I believe the high quality of Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker helped build strong expectations for Dawntrail. However, since Dawntrail, I feel the quality of patch content in particular has declined, and user attrition is increasing. Despite Mr. Naoki Yoshida—an executive officer at Square Enix—continuing to serve as both producer and director, there are concerns that not enough resources are being allocated to this title, and some are expressing anxiety over the organizational state of the studio.

As a shareholder myself, I consider Final Fantasy XIV to be one of the company’s key revenue sources, and I’m worried about how the current situation might impact performance in the next fiscal year and beyond. In the medium-term management plan, the company has stated its commitment to shifting “from quantity to quality” and to optimizing the development environment. With a particular focus on Creative Studio 3, I’d like to know how the company plans to address these issues going forward.

<Answer 8>
We understand your comments to reflect a concern that “the quality of content, including patches, appears to have declined in Final Fantasy XIV following the transition from Endwalker to Dawntrail.” Additionally, you suggest that “a possible reason for this may be that Mr. Yoshida, who serves as both producer and director, is currently unable to devote sufficient resources to the title.” You are also asking for the company’s view on the potential impact of this situation on business performance in the next fiscal year and beyond.
Currently, Final Fantasy XIV is taking on new challenges as it transitions from Endwalker to Dawntrail, including a complete refresh of the story. With a view toward the next 10 years, the entire development team is fully committed, and we ask for your continued.... (nextpost)

>>713926273
>>713926273

[..] warm support as we move toward long-term developments such as Versions 8.0 and 9.0.

Your feedback will be shared with the development department. Regarding the concern that Mr. Yoshida may not be able to dedicate enough time to the title, we believe that, not only in his case but in general, creators and development leads often gain ideas through involvement in other titles—and those experiences can, in turn, contribute positively to Final Fantasy XIV. That said, there are of course limits to what any one individual can handle, so your comments will be communicated directly to Mr. Yoshida.

We will continue to strive to meet your expectations and hope you continue to enjoy Final Fantasy XIV.

Note:
Please be aware that on the day of the shareholders' meeting, we have seen instances where comments were misinterpreted or selectively quoted on social media and elsewhere, leading to misunderstandings. To ensure everyone has an accurate understanding, we have published a summary on our official website that reflects the full context and intent of the remarks made. We encourage you to refer to this information for a proper understanding of what was said.

folderkun called out directly

>>713926271
But XIV is dogshit. You pretending to not be mad about being told that doesn't make it not true.

>>713926212
It's just one of folderdumper's ritual self-replies. No point trying to reason with him.

>>713925695
it's a return to form for final fantasy, I'm having a blast

>>713926396
It doesn't matter. He's quite literally too mentally ill to understand/accept it and will try to mold reality into what he wants it to be through sheer spamming/flooding anyway.
It's like trying to tell a recalcitrant toddler no.
Even if you drive him into a corner, he'll just insist you're Sena, Kate, Yoshi-P, or some random /vg/ Lalafag, or all of those simultaneously come to silence him and suppress his truth.

>>713925838
Community strats around the various ways to do those dungeons faster were what made them great too.
>pull all sac tank
>mobs reset and res tnak
>pull all of it and lock it out by pulling the boss and holding at the door
>specifically targetting the mobs that mattered (tonberry/voidsent statues etc.) to unlock the way and rushing triggeered transporters to leave mobs behind
>saying fuck it, pullling it all and aoe it all down, but all was 8-10 packs, not 3
People might hate it but that shit took co-ordinated effort and a modicum of competence.

>>713925472
Yoshida already admitted Alisaie was for (You)

>>713926398
Kindly refer to >>713926271

I just want it to be good again but I don't see it happening any time soon.
They're buried under a mountain of past short sighted and poor decisions.

>>713926631
The whole enshitification of dungeons + wow mentality of pull and aoe ruined dungeons for me. I miss the multiply pathing and doing a roulette with undergeared sprouts. It was fun and fuck people with their min-max must steamroll everything. It wasn't fun in wow and bringing it over to FF destroyed the game.

>>713926704
That's exactly what I'm referring to. "Look at this comic meant to portray me as so calm and collected, that means I'm very calm and collected and not mad at all, aren't you silly?" is reddit cringe.

>>713926790
you'd been unhappy for quite awhile since dungeons in 2.1 were run like that, and the only reason you didn't do more packs in 2.0 is because there's far greater distance to run between packs

>>713926790
The problem isn't that those things happened, it's that SE eventually leaned into it and started designing them for it.
I never had a problem taking it slow because somebody didn't want to do it but the option to do it was more important than people realise.
The current equivalent of it doesn't even take effort, which makes it all the more painful when people are determined to do it one pack at a time.

>>713926917
if i lowercase post at you, will you start getting upset about it too

>>713916375
>I'll unsub and come back for the next cap.
that'd be all well and good if I didn't have to play through this disgusting story

Good point. FF has a bunch of loons.

the trannylover cries as he strikes you

>>713925962
NOOOOO DELETE THIS

I knew Dawntrail was going to be shit but I bought it anyway out of good faith in the game that I had so much fun with for 7 years. But the magic is over. It's dead. 8.0 would have to be Heavensward/Shadowbringers good to bring me back.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IWWfJW2qtJxvj9CcW0bAzLlB2lsmaF5zA6dghFY7vV4/edit?usp=sharing

Setup a google doc with mostly stuff I could find from around July of 2024 to today. Listed the picture hash along with the total of posts, and it updates automatically. Doesn't update the second it post, but does update (just takes a bit). B2 has the total amount that he has posted, and I also posted some low res thumbnails for some of the popular one. Added a second tab of odd things I cam across.

Seems to really love Zepla, but I noticed the full on folder dumping starting in December 2024/January 2025. Noticed the pictures sprinkled around in the past but January is where he really went all in manual folder dumping. Sorry if the document is sloppy.

>>713927552
holy shit, 4chan reminds me to NEVER underestimate the power of autism.

>>713927552
This nigga is mad lmao

>>713920862
Because from 1.0 until post-EW, the main localizer was Koji Fox, who also worked on FFXI and was part of the original worldbuilding team. As part of the lore team he ended up with a lot of input with the writing team too. He even ended up as part of the main writing team for FFXVI. Which unfortunately set a precedent for when the dangerhair took his seat after his promotion.

Maybe they should recreate the doom star that wiped out the OG FFXV. Might as well just burn everything to ash, and rebuild again if this is a unsalvageable situation.

>>713926212
People tolerated Square until they went full blown looney troon leftist. Now everyone's celebrating their demise. The Granblue devs were right to escape and leave that shitheap behind.

>>713927552
See, now this is using your autism powers productively and with finesse.
Much better than the piggish squealing of a mindbroken hog just clunkily dumping the same pictures and posts over and over again.

>>713927841
We need him back so badly

Someone post the list of FFXIV boogeymen please.

>>713927958
They can't fix it now. The gameplay flaws have always been there, but the story covered it up. Plus releases were not as far apart. Paying a sub for 1 dungeon and 1 raid in 6 months is insane.

>>713925962
Do people actually play with the English voiceover?

>>713927314
Yoship isn't wrong YT is an overreaction echo chamber for clicks and a lot of what's going on in game is not as bad as people want you to believe but they did drop the ball this expansion and should be called out for it.
Japanese do not appreciate the in-your-face criticisms of the west.

>>713926212
Those dirty successful chinks, how dare they expose how the nips are such hacks.

>>713928194
Maybe don't let a troonoid take over your game, and then higher more troons that poison the product with shit writing, shit voice work, and shit Xitter drama.
SE is getting what they deserved, and could have navigated their ship from further disaster, but decided to let their giant egos do the work instead.

>>713928368
>sucking off the creators of TikTok and Blackrock, China
The embittered XIV exes sure hit a new low.

>>713928405
it takes far more than that to kill the game
you have a lot of work ahead

>>713928364
>Calling people who care about the game trend chasers and algo doomers
Yeah I'm sure that's really going to endear people to your game and not at all bunker people in their positions.
He's such a clown, what happened to 144 influencers and content creators Yoshida? You said the game had 144 content creators for the game back in Endwalker and were praising them, but now it's bad because they're chasing the algorithm? Oh so they weren't chasing the Algorithm in the end of Shadowbringers/ Endwalker huh?
Oh because people are being critical now, I see.
Yeah this game is completely done when the Director/ Producer is now actively fighting against his own community.
What a shit show.

>>713928569
Nah, he's right. Piss your panties about it, troon.

lmao he's breaking
he stopped making sense

its the youtubers fault the game is irredeemably dogshit

>>713928619
The negative influencers are mostly in the West, which isn't the where the biggest fanbase is. The game is crashing because the Japs are getting tired of it, not because some youtuber calls the game shit.
He is just pissing in the wind right now.

>nooo my slophog youtuber can't be wrong because uh...
>because i'm lonely and the wrinklecrone makes me feel like a girl cares about me

>>713928697
It's the Youtubers fault for Wuk Lamat, for Dawntrail being a snoozefest, for the stale jobs.
It's the Yootoobs who are at fault.

>>713928697
>irredeemably
far from it. latest msq patch was a step in the right direction. less wuk

Big difference between people like Xeno genuinely criticizing the game and Zepla being an actual doomposter.

I find it funny that the TORtanic debacle broke the minds of supposed "epic troles" harder than its supposed targets.

>>713926212
Crystal of Atlan gets unlimited Tiktok funding AND the creator of Diablo working on it. My entire FC switched over to it while we're waiting for BPSR. It's not a fair fight by any means.

>>713928832
Whoa, whoa. Let's not get crazy here.
Xenosys' opinion might need to be shelved for a little while until he no longer wants all tanks to be warriors.

>>713928969
Sure I don't agree with that notion, just speaking generally.

>>713929021
you mean a guy actually playing the game and doing the content has more of value to provide than a scorned ex-player who got mad and quit after being filtered and humiliated by a fight almost an expansion cycle ago?

>>713910623 (OP)
My big issue with DT is just how much of it there and just how much it clashes.It's like they finished the entire king succession story firs and then noticed it won't be enough or didn't have some sort of crazy twist so they slapped the second half on top. It took me like 5 hours to even get to the first trial.

>>713928832
well, zepla started as a wowplayer
she started being relevant as a xiv streamer
tried to go back to wow, fumbled
tried to shill genshin, got momentarely elevated by hoyotards
by the time she tried to come back to xiv, nobody cared, so she started doomposting for engagement, ragebait etc

see preach and his vid "blizzard won". won against who? what other game would he be implying?
dawntrail is bad, but when xiv stops being "bad", these hungry streamers will try to get more xiv viewers, but they already fucked up
same shit with those grinding gear fags. took them forever to finish the game and people stopped caring

>>713928832
His videos are dogshit, he got shat on by his own community when he tried to dogpiled that Forum post.
The comments of his own video agree with the forum poster and not Xeno.

Wait, she didn't complete TEA? I thought the stupid furry of Llama carried her or something.
>Imagine having simps at your disposal and still not being able to clear.

>but when xiv stops being "bad"
lol

>>713929286
Talking about Omega Protocol.
She was holding up/sandbagging the entire party while micromanaging and monitoring other players for small mistakes and composing a book of grudges.
Then after being hard gatekept in a phase for an extended period of time due to one person fucking up colossally, the static leader wanted to review everyone's footage, including Zepla's. Which revealed that Zepla was the one holding them back.
She then pretended to "quit" the static because she didn't want to be in it anymore, and started playing Hoyoslop.

it's just retards who think that this is all of what 4chan is because it was their first exposure to the site. and saying that you enjoy something or god forbid, like a game is too genuine for people who are hiding behind so many layers of irony they no longer enjoy anything.

but end of the day, there's a fun MMO to play and they'll be trapped shitposting into the void. pretty clear who "wins" in that situation.

>>713929410
sorry, I'm a bit of a redditor who doesn't know how 4chan works so I accidentally failed to reply to the person I was responding to: >>713929201

xiv was "bad" before, and then was "good"
every game has this type of cycles.

$5 optional subs provide more value than mandatory $15 subs. The market has spoken.

Oh? When was this? I don’t believe any gooner-adjacent claim made by a company after they make an oopsie with their game. A good non-FF example of this would be Overwatch adding a gorgeous redheaded Danish woman after fucking up with the non-binary hero.

>>713924549
Lalafells are from the source

Do you think morale is low in the writers room and localization room or are they doing positive false motivation on their obvious failure of an expansion and msq.

>>713930017
iirc it was one of the liveletters for endwalker. he said that 'maybe we should make it so you can marry your waifu. or the twins. but you'd have to get their parents permission'

so yoshi-p approves you banging a levilleur

>>713929893
I just find it insanely contrarian
This anon wasted probably 2-3 hours of his life to essentially state the obvious that we have a thread schizophrenic - every single thread on /v/ has their own token. Is this supposed to be special or relevant? You know you people say 'you will never be a janitor' but the anons who want to be one the most probably don't even admit it

Case and point, when I see that same google doc posted another 3-4 times in the next 2 weeks you'll know exactly what sort of validation this anon craves. You're supposed to ignore autists. Just ousts you as a secondary that needs to gtfo this website

>>713928769
>less wuk
Wuk is only the surface level issue. Removing Wuk entirely wouldn't fix or redeem it.

>>713929812
It's a troon what do you expect? He has autism so let him monitor the threads as if that somehow will make an impact on FFXIV not being in the sorry state it's in.

>>713929107
Yeah. I think it'd have been better if the expansion was just Tural, the competition, and and some proper exploration of it as a new undiscovered land. It'd give them time to pad it out proper, act as a proper introduction, stick to the summer vacation idea it was sold as. Unfortunately any attempt to improve DT would need better writers willing to give the expansion some teeth.
Save the arrival of the dome, Zoral Ja's dissapearance, and the initial invasion for the 7.x story.

Especially funny coming from a guy who'd probably orbit a troon if it made him feel loved and validated. Just look at how it suckles on the teat of a post-wall Ukranian with bags under the bags under her eyes and some 3d anime avatar controlled by a man with a voce changer.

One of the biggest things that made the game unfun for me was the community of weirdos who aggressively attack you if you don't find every single piece of the game instantly amazing.

DT is bad because of a long trail of bad decisions that brought it to this state. We've had shit story and shit characters before but back then it was well supported by the above aspects.

>waaaah /v/ tortaniced ffxiv
Nah nigga, you did that all by yourselves

>>713931268
I've liked it so far, though I'm doing it intermittently. I think there are a wide enough number of encounters that I know enough to be able to react while not knowing everything it does. My only real problem is probably that it feels uninteractive with others. It feels like there's no incentive to kill normal mobs, which means any parties are only doing fates or CEs, which is odd because with a max level of 20, I've seen mobs level 30 iirc.

>>713930370
Press the glowy button
I wish I was joking, there's so very little beyond that

yum yum, i know that's what i want from my mmorpg

>>713930484
After finishing HW they compressed and combined the following planned expacs. Mhigger/Doma, Source/First, Hyd/Zod. It was partly because of how long shit took and the severe chop that patch story content got after complaints from people having to go through ARR patch content.
DT got put on that template so they didn't give it the time it needed to build it up properly.

>SO SCREAM ALL YOU LIKE 'COS WE'RE ALL MAD HERE!!

I know we're not supposed to talk about the game but I think RPR would be way more fun if Enshroud mode didn't have the dinky little claw slice attack, it ruins the flow and visual clarity of the Reaping attacks.

If you can't beat Steps of Faith by rectally inserting the controller, the game is too complicated and heterosexual for the r*ddit faggots that still play it

I remember when Y'shtola had a personality for 5 seconds, than Yoshi P got mad and made sure that would never happen again, because in Yoshida's mind, a character who is a "serious" character can NEVER have an unserious moment.

>Yoshida on that Y’shtola scene: “I really was at a loss what to do… There was a part of me that felt, aren’t we getting a bit carried away here? One point we pay attention to is not to turn Y’shtola into a joke. For sure, within the community, you’ve got things like people calling her ‘mummy’, but it would be wrong to indulge that. Properly speaking we should handle Y’shtola’s character properly, and I don’t much like just drawing on this one character trait. So, I felt this is the breaking point and we shouldn’t go further than this. By the way, I hear Y’shtola’s voice actor Kayano Ai performed a lot of different takes on this scene.” He continued: “I’m thinking we should stop breaking the characters any more than this. This time, it ended up with Y’shtola having a magical girl phase where she was self-consciously cute [laughs bitterly].”

look at that engagement, specially replies
he's probably getting a lot of info right now

>the audience doesn't understand what they're asking for
I have been very vocal about wanting dating content, especially with Y'shtola. All I got was shitty savage fights I don't partake in and a MSQ that shoves her more aside.

I feel it is time Yoshida listens to *me* and *my* demands.

a lot of technical issues that never resolved because shit engine/lacking skilled people/lacking money/whatever
if you're not into savage, the game isn't for you anymore, that's why there are tons of people using F2P accounts to afk at a capital, degens using custom skins

>>713932589
Killed is an overstatement, but DT had a lackluster story with multiple issues in the writing. That's the biggest problem since XIV is a narrative driven game. When the story is bad, focus leaves that and goes on everything else, and because the patches leading up to DT, 6.X, were lacking content due to manpower being used for XVI/Graphics update, the places that focus landed looked worse. This is exasperated by how long there is between patches.
It's not that DT alone was enough to 'kill' it, it was just the straw that broke the camels back.

Y'shtola got her shit pushed in again and again, it is no surprise her youthful spirit got kind of broken, especially during HW where she basically died, got pulled back but had to cope with having lost her eyesight. Still made it work, still went forward and tried to support the one thing she unconditionally believes in. You. The years among the Night's Blessed mellowed her out and showed her that she is allowed to relax and not be so tense all the time.
She is a great character that had a good arc, still developing, but the game rushes the MSQ hilariously and doesn't allow Scions to act outside of worldending adventures. Yes Scion dating would elevate every single character in this by a LOT.

>>713932515
>Endwalker was the absolute worst pile of shit I have ever played through
If EW was the worst thing you have ever played you must not have played many video games. Also if you hated it so much in HW why would you keep playing?

Genuinely what did XIV and yoshi pee do to cause such a long lasting intense reaction from folderdumpy-Chan and Barry? How do they keep going after all this time?

>>713933206
when one mongoloid, that can freely tag 40mn into an instance, can wipe 40+ people multiple times during the hour long run, in an instance where you can get only 3 times total (if you're not just outright wiped)

ShB is harder to define the split for but there's a lot that could fit between the major events of that expac and its patches to build out 2 expacs worth of content.
Between the Lightwards, Amaurot, killing Emet, Elidibus and finally the Tower plan there's plenty. It might've involved some early parts of what was eventually EW like the Telephoroi as patch content for expac 2.

Hiroi isn't lead writer anymore, dip. It's only upward from here

It's funny because the folderdumping/doomposting is from the same source as it was in Endwalker and you can tell it didn't really evolve at all. Still the same clumsy ragetarding.

The entire old guard in Y'shtola, Estinien, Thancred and Urianger more or less have a beach vacation, while your ass has to baby sit the twins, krile and wuk.

I've said it before, but to add on to the other guy's post, there's been moments where Barry tweets at the exact same time Dumpo posts. Like right down to the minute. Not even the nappiest headed multi tablet wielding zoomer can achieve that. They're obviously separate entities.

>>713933639
Barry's MO is distinct and recognizable.
Dumping a folder is standard 4chan-schizo behavior, many such cases.

>>713933770
I dunno, cause you also have to think not just in terms of length of the story, but also additional content. One expansion at minimum, not including patches needs to include
>6 zones
>2 Major Hubs
>3 trials
>6 story dungeons
>2 post-story dungeons
That's ignoring patch stuff like Raids, Beast Tribes, ect. I can give some leeway for SB and EW because we know we haven't fully explored all of the Doma region or the regions Garlean controlled, but I just couldn't see getting all of that for a second expansion based on ShB.

>Y'shtola
Built for filling with whipped cream until she swells to the size of etheirys and then detonates (non lethally)

>>713934127
Do we have confirmation on that? Who's the new writer?

>>713934127
You do realise, during those expacs people were complaining about the state of those things but actively saying that they were willing to stick it out because of the good story and characters in the hopes of change.
Those are the people currently leaving en mass.
Those people won't be happy with just a good story to return to.
It's a last straw issue, not an only thing that mattered issue.

>>713933434
It's their duty
If xiv flourishes what happens to their triumphs? Their hopes? Their...despair?

Everything after the immediate end of Endwalker was a dream, and WoL married Y'shtola and fled far away to live in peace removed from all the gay and stupid shit and annoying people.

>>713927314
He's right. The community wouldn't be so reflexively negative about literally everything if it weren't for e-prostitutes spreading negativity for engagement. Most people can't think for themselves so strimmers have free reign to control community consensus

The set is out now though, and the cards that didn't hold their value like Summon Bahamut already dropped. The Surge Foils are going to stay in that general price range because they're like THE anime commanders.

that's it. the game will level out to its original playerbase, some new players will stick, some old players will leave.
this is only an issue with EW fetuses and suits that only want unending growth

>>713934636
E-celebs started dooming about the game because the players did first. They are the bandwagoners, not the other way around. Which is why all their videos about DT sucking shit came out MONTHS after it launched and everyone else was universally shitting on it. During DT launch they were still in the phase of "if I badmouth anything about this game my career is over", so they were all praising it.

JUST FIRE KATE AND HIROI ALREADY

>>713911562
Shareholder said the quality of dawntrail was shit, thought Yoshida is working on too much stuff, and asked what they will do.
Management said: It's a story reset so there are new challenges (no shit?). They are working towards the next 10 years of the game and ask us to "watch warmly" (温かく見守っていただきたい). And that putting Yoshida on other projects can generate ideas that will flow back into XIV (lol).
So just kinda generic BS answers.

Could you draw Y'shtola's big cat booba being barely restrained by a black lacy bra? If not, than understandable.

>>713934852
>She is a great character that had a good arc
This absolutely never has applied to Y'shtola. She is just an ara ara lady with sassy zingers, who is used to gain intel on magic nonsense to move some plots forward. Even her ShB plot, where most scions got a decent arc, was lackluster and stupid.

So true, they should have just blindly praised the game instead. Well, our friend Yoshida will show them how we deal with traitors around here...

>>713935363

FFXIV should entirely be focussed on Y'shtola and her relationship to the player character. They should break the mold and be the first to have animated, in engine cutscenes of sex (with Y'shtola) in an MMO. The more Y'shtola the better.

>the only person in the entire game who has ever considered WoL's feelings on being a weapon that the scions just point at things and say "go, do a crime"
that's G'raha

Need more damn hangout times with the scions. No threats, no playing escort, no work stuff, just... relaxing.

Sort of related, but I had an idea once for some expansion where the Scions are the rolequest NPCs, specifically they're trying to learn a new field or improve in one, and you're basically helping peer review and evcen mentor them. It'd come with lots of characterization interactions, downtime moments, but also cement the idea of the WoL not being just a coworker, a tool, or what not, but an equal and friend whom they value for their mind and guidance too. Some of the ideas I had were:

>Alisaie picks up DRK to tank (you have special dialogue if you did DRK explaining your training was 'different' and asking if Alisaie hears voices)
>Thancred picks up MCH since the aether condenser box lets him bypass his issues and can be modified to produce GNB catridges.
>Y'shtola wants to brush up on healing. (or Krile, poor girl got screwed. maybe they both can study with you)
>Not sure for magic DPS
>Melee DPS is Alphinaud asked Estinien to teach him lancer so he could fight without magic if needbe. And proving incredibly hopeless, Estinien calls you to help. Comedy ensues.

You think he's noticed yet? I sure hope so.

homo shut up

What am I supposed to be hyped about?
>other than the potential of eloping with Y'shtola to another shard, the writers have completely lost me in the MSQ
>one new trial that might be hit or miss
>raid normal that is whatever
>I don't do savage
>jobs stay the same
>new gear is just atrocious modern slop that I dont care for

The other half of it is:
The community is so steeped in toxic positivity that a "community voice" saying it adds weight and aids the pushback against it. So more people share their opinion.

>>713935968
I mean yeah, that's what most "content creators" do, because a thoughtful critique isn't as interesting.

>>713935968
Yeah! Maybe next time those fuckers will have a little integrity and know to say the proper words if they don't want to be blacklisted...

>>713935875
alisaie is trash and the worst levellieur.

>>713936037
The toxic positivity thing is heavily overblown.
Go into any game community saying "your game sucks dick because xyz" and you'll be told off.
Hell, say you dislike anything about FromSoft games and the only reply you'll get is some variation of "git gud".

Lovey dovey, handholding coitus with Y'shtola in the Baldesion Annex on the night before they left for Ultima Thule. They knew it might be their last chance so any pretence to ignore their feelings were dismissed.

>new gear is just atrocious modern slop that I dont care for
biggest offender of the entire expac imo
they could've at least been creative

>First to Zodiark
I feel that'd be even worse desu. You do get to expand what they're doing in the First, but ending it at Zodiark either squishes Garlemald either the same amount or more so than prior. At least splitting EW with one being Garlemad to Zodiark and the other being up to the End Singer gives space for the patch MSQ, being the effects of the end of days, people turning into blasphemys, all that fun jazz.

No? Wuk Lamat is the face of the expansion and she's female. The face of the game is Y'Shtola Rhul as she is by far the most widely cross promoted FFXIV character.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here and explain something simple here.
Despite the development of Dawntrail drowning in DIEslop and consultation groups like Georgify, the game itself was not permitted to have any LGBTQ content in it. The female characters are still female. The romantic relationships are still all heterosexual. In fact, other than throwaway lines like 'Be on the right side of history", there was zero leftist virtue signalling. Dawntrail is simply a boring, milquetoast expansion, a result of what happens when you ask fraudsters to inform you on intricacies of differences in human cultures. At no point does the game, feature two gay male monster-races getting married and then flirting and getting ready to make out like WoW does.

>Y'shtola with enormous heaving breasts
I'm okay with that.

>>713936074
>xhe thinks the difference between critique and dooming is just picking nicer words
Oh yeah, it's all coming together.

Good times ahead, anon. Trust the plan. Even if you dislike Shtola, she is one of those characters to never hog the spotlight while still being a tremendous help. She'll abduct us into a whole new shard, it'll be ShB kino all over. WoL, Y'shtola, band of new shard specific friends.

cute!

It really isn't.

>>713936213
The point is there's so much shit there between the 2 expacs that did happen, that there's a very reasonable split to be made somewhere into 4 expacs. Maybe even just 3, but the entire timeline was definitely condensed after they finished HW and took on ARR feedback about the patch content being too long if you weren't there as it dropped.

>xhe thinks it's good that media entities will be blacklisted if they say bad things about [product]
Resetera, you have to go back.

>It really isn't.
No, you're right.
It's very, very prevalent. As a false narrative designed to shame people into disliking ffxiv. As if most people hate the games they're actively playing.
