Resub

post the ntr image im close

FF16 is a masterpiece.

>>713966802 (OP)
I nevertheless subbed I was a free trial mason

>>713966802 (OP)
{Um...}

Gib 8.0 and make it interesting. Then I will resub.

>>713968307
Maybe the writing in Dawntrail wasn't all that bad...

is oc worth?

>Spends years asking us to please unsubscribe from his game
>People finally start doing it
>NOOOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT
What does he even want?

>>713968307
i love the completely still spin on the spot

>>713966802 (OP)
i don't have the budget to resub

No I'm white.

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

>>713974252
These people have no one to interact with in real life.

>>713975785
(cont.)
>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.

I wonder what they're planning to do about journo outlets and youtubers all deliberately misrepresenting their statements for cheap clicks. Every time they say anything at all, a new article is up taking the least charitable google translate mistranslation that serves an agenda and then within 24 hours there's 20 videos and 50 social media posts parroting it.

>>713969478
no, fun for like a couple hours
shouldve been better

>>713975785
>>713975870
no, i won't be needing context, i just wanted confirmation that SE is siphoning money off the game to invest it in new games that flop instantly

>>713966802 (OP)
I bought 3 months on a whim the other day
Initially really bored, community is dead compared to early Dawntrail launch, and people are STILL dying on the early lvl 100 dungeons

That said, 7.2 is pretty good, and if you were sitting on the fence it's worth coming back for the newer MSQ and raids

https://youtu.be/_htiXfLqXxU?si=Ouqn340zyrZeuI8o

Yeah I know that's not from the latest, but it's a banger

>>713969478
Yeah, it's pretty good.
I went hard on it the first 3 days, got most of what I wanted and now I just go in there in bursts. Don't live inside of there anymore, but I still do it. And once I start, I stay there for a couple hours.
Everyone is different, though.

I hope no one resubs. As it stands I'm finally able to find A ranks to kill.

Once I get "Of the Longest Hunt" this shit game can shut down forever for all I care.

Barry lives in Australia. Maybe it is the result of huffing petrol, being punched in the head by a 'roo or being bitten by some kind of unknown spider species that can liquify your brain

>>713966802 (OP)
Is every encounter just Simon Says in a circular (or sometimes square) arena with weekly tome grind and mechanically shallow dungeons being released every 3 months?

XIV had the most anemic game structure I ever experienced in my life, it's completely rigid and unchanging in all aspects of its design.

>>713978910
The folderdumper is not Barry though.

I thought I hated ffxiv combat but its kinda fun going back into it, especially the new dawntrail raids
theyre very fun to dance around and do your rotations
im a casual so I dunno how good the savage is, but the casual content is pretty good

>>713966802 (OP)
fix the game nigga

>>713980961
raiders seem to like the savages. especially m6s.

>>713981079
They did

>4 month patch cycle

Maybe not.

>>713966802 (OP)
No.

>>713974252
>>713975843
We could have avoided this if XVI didn't flop and Dawntrail killed XIV's reputation.

>>713969695
This. Kek. “If you gaijin complain about there being nothing to do,just unsub lol,take a break!” WTF NOOOO SUBHUMAN PIGERU Y R U UNSUBBING

>stop playing months ago
>check FC what they're doing
>so bad they're trying out WoW
7.2 wasn't so bad but it feels like they murdered whatever good thing they had going for 7.0
And they're billing 7.3 as the end of DT but it feels like it needs 7.4-5 to even end on a good note.
I'm waiting for 7.5 for the fish. When is the next expansion trailer coming?

A doc that compiles all the times folderdumper-kun has posted the same image. (In reality, it's probably even higher.)

I'd but you cannot merge standalone client and steam accounts for some reason. CBA downloading the game desperately again. Why are Japs so incompetent with computer games?

>>713982397
thanks for the dolphin porn.

>Alliance Raids is one of the big features of an expansion
>Play it for first time, get reward

>>713966802 (OP)
I am on free trial

Why are gachas thriving and mmos dying? I noticed when gachas make money, they reinvest a lot into their game and mmos seem to operate on as little as they can get by with. Why wouldn't they pour more money into their game, especially if it's the only thing keeping their company afloat?

There's nothing funnier than 2 autists with opposite opinions vying for supremacy.

>>713982842
Square Enix was always a shitty black company. Does no one remember the Lightning waifufaggotry?

>>713982921
Why are gacha insects trying to shill their slop in MMO threads? Nothing about gachas interests anyone who wants an MMO. I don't want to play cookie clicker ft. one of 15 waifu skins.

>>713982921
Other weebshit MMOs don't have this problem. FF14 destroyed its reputation with a modbeast playerbase and a naruto trannycat that caters to said modbeasts. It has only itself to blame.

ziv is itself gachaslop now thoughbeit

>>713983049
I miss Squaresoft bros. I think the sequel faggotry really hurt the franchise. Like Kingdom Hearts and the 20 games spun off of that, FFXIII 1-3, FF7R 1-3. Hell even FFX-2 was nowhere near the quality of FFX. I don't know if they'll ever get back to their roots, where they just delivered these immersive new worlds, like they used to.
>>713983380
I did notice that more queer people seemed to like Wuk Lamat. Not sure if that's a cultural thing and they are required to like her, or if they really just like bad things.

What did FFXIV mean by this?

>>713982842
Remember when someone BTFO you by mentioning that Bytedance owns Tiktok and Tencent is basically China's Blackrock.

>>713983934
When you start looking into that creature it starts to make sense why shit has gotten as bad as it has. The company culture has been compromised, it's not just Hiroi and Kate bad. Since covid it's gotten so bad and it wouldn't shock me if they were all still working remotely. That would explain why content patches have gotten smaller and tend to be broken up into parts and they take so long to release.

>>713982842
Crystal of Atlan is fun and doesn't require a sub. Let the chinks put their tiktok shekels toward something good for once

Wonder what game folder spammer was latch on to when FFXIV ends or will he just kill himself

can someone tell me wtf crystal of atlan is already because it keeps being shilled by chinkbots in ff threads but i otherwise don't see jack shit about it anywhere

>>713984083
>push progressive wokeshit
You mean xiv or se as a whole? Becuase xiv hasn't gotten pozzed yet, but I fully expect it to now that; a) most the oldheads directing the game got replaced by people like kate, and b) the game is doing badly and shows no sign of improving.
Fags like to throw around 'get woke, go broke' but 'go broke, get woke' is just as true.

>>713984620
>viera
Nice try but we all know who the groomers of xiv are.

>xiv gacha is now overrun by bots like the main game
My sides.

>>713984917
no shit. the real game and mobile game have no anti cheat. it operates entirely on a "trust me bro im not a hacker" system. you need to be reported by another snitch and have a gm that cares enough to investigate.

ff14 players are all obnoxious fucks, folder guy is based, whatever makes you faggots seethe

>>713984709
I just looked it up and it’s legitimately nothing like FFXIV and more of like punishing raven clone (mobile arpg gacha) so “people “ trying to pity against FFXIV are extra retarded

>>713984083
10yen yoshi needs to buy more rings, prease undastandu

>>713968307
Blizzard is so retarded: If she looked like Faelia but black the complaints about her would be less justified because personality-wise she's perfectly fine. But they HAD to make her look like a Tumblr OC that fills a disability checklist.

>>713966889
Aahahahahahaahah... AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!! EEEHEHEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAH OOOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHHEHEHHAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAAAAAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>713985218
>personality-wise she's perfectly fine
lol no she's fucking not, nigga. She's your typical cripple written by a progressive terminally online X user.
>I'm not handicapped, I'm handicapable!
That kind of bullshit.

>>713982267
Why would you even want a good note for the shitpile that is DT. Just get the fuck out of there asap, abandon the crappy fantays-africa and delete it from everyone's memories. Or just nuke it completely with actual deaths of all the DT characters maybe THEN we can get somewhere.

>>713985256
>covid showed SE they can do less and keep getting even more money
I really hope that shitty fucking company implodes.

>>713985592
>abandon the crappy fantays-africa
The msq hasn't centered around eorzea for years now, bruv.

>>713985440
No, she's not. The ones that were like that were the gay centaurs and their mute leader of the previous expansion, but Faerin behaves like a regular character.

>>713966889
it has a good opening act, but it takes a massive nosedive
also you can tell that they've worked on 14 for too long because even the good part is plagued with "here do irrelevant bear ass fetching while we wait for the plot to happen" tier garbage

>>713984242
Hiroi isn't bad to begin with he did as well as anybody could be expected to do with the shit hand Yoshida gave him, although in saying that I have to wonder if maybe there was a better way to handle the Alexandrian invasion than lol dragon allies. Maybe they could have returned to the idea of needing to do at least one master quest to complete MSQ and had one of the totems be used for the defense of the city, admittedly might have been hard to make work with the sleep one though, but then really it was just sapping aether, the robots might not sleep but still run on aether.

>>713985128
What's the point of even shilling it here? Lol.

>>713985730
fuck off retard

>>713985918
Given Jaina had a similar conflict in Warcraft 3 I think you are parroting what some faggot on X is saying without playing the game.

>>713985730
Remind me again why the token nigger doesn't do anything about her missing arm other than mounting a shield on the shoulder.

>>713985816
Because these people are fucking retarded and doing anything to try and attack ffxiv

>>713985708
Eorzea looks like sci-fi heaven compared to tululyashakalacka. Just end it, get everyone out of there and never look back.

>>713986069
>no she's actually a really sweet and great character you're just being manipulated by the chuds
fuck off retard

>>713966802 (OP)
why?

>>713986081
Because the writers wanted to justify her disability, same as wheelchair Khadgar. But as I said, her personality is fine and mostly in line with how the average wowowawa character acts.

>>713986163
There's nothing to manipulate because you are a retard who never had an opinion in the first place since you did not play the game. You are a dog, following whistles.

>>713986103
Bro, your nigger tier IQ is on display. eorzea is literally shaped like the continent of africa, just like tural is shaped like the americas. not to mention SE was so on the nose with tural's culture being painfully south american but filtered through a white progressive lens.

>>713966802 (OP)

If you prefer I could call you cattle instead. The terminology doesn't matter, my point is that your brain doesn't have the capacity to gestate its own ideas. Like an animal or a very small child, you'll do what you are told since you lack the capacity for critical thought.

>>713987194

>>713987318
If you reduce other people to brands like left/rightoid or whatever stupid term social media is pushing right now for the culture war, you ARE cattle.

>>713987440
you're being pretentious about being a leftoid
a sure sign that you feel threatened. scurry off to whatever pozzed hellhole you call your home

>>713966802 (OP)

make ffxiv singleplayer till endwaker one pay or fuck it

>>713987613
Nobody is "threatening" me because we are having a discussion in an anonymous website, that doesn't even have an IP counter anymore. Even to insult me you cannot make a coherent sentence. But I'm wasting my time trying to argue with cattle, so the joke's on me.

What's the FF14 equivalent?

>>713987910
>so the joke's me
ftfy

>>713988136
All of Dawntrail. If you want a specific it would be this scene. It interrupts a trial fight (boss fight) to play this cinematic with the worst character from the expansion with the worst VA delivery in the entire game from a man who is pretending to be a girl.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kye324j2vEc

>>713988136
all of them? remember that we still have cinematics with characters spinning 180º over their axis to turn around.

>>713988136
Wuk crashing into the Interphos at the end.

>>713966802 (OP)

>>713982073
>>713982223
>>713982842
One day FFXIV woke up from their Fanfest-induced drunken haze and realized that the chinks had taken all their players. With how cutthroat competition is these days, there's no room for a single leftroon misstep like Wuk Lamat.

>>713966802 (OP)

>>713989295
don't talk about paimon like that

Oh I forgot this happened this week where in an interview, YoshiP admitted he can't take criticism and he thinks those of us who have critiques are nothing but algorithm chasers.

There are a lot of videos that just cash in on cheap doompost clicks when the sentiment is remotely negative, as well as videos that cash in on cheap "HYPE THE GAME IS SO BACK" clicks when there's something new to hype up.

>We can distinguish between videos made with malicious intent and those that are made with love but it's hard to filter the ones with malicious intent to bait views from the ones made with love

Something you wanna tell us? Something about a guilty conscience and/or feeling addressed?

>>713989995
Can you post some examples of videos that do this?

>>713989493
>>713989981

>>713990282
Kek he was very happy with the algo chasers during the WoW exodus because they were praising the game. They still didn't care about it but were praising it because it was popular to do for the algorithm.
But now the game is in a shit state those alog chasers are long gone, it's people left who are passionate of the game trying to vent their frustrations and he's got the balls to call them algo chasers, that's a slap in the face for any of those content creators who cared about FF14.

>>713990194
Are you telling me you do not believe in clickbait articles and videos? That there aren't any people who make videos for games (including but not limited to XIV) that just peddle low-quality "game dead" "game so fucking bag" videos to make easy money?
Or are you simply feigning ignorance because this time it serves your hateboner against XIV?

At first I thought FFXIV might really be in trouble because there was so much shittalking about it in these threads.
But then I realized about 80% of it is just one guy talking to himself, proving that /v/ really is just a rotting shitheap at this point.

>Why are gachas thriving and mmos dying?
Gatchas use far worse predatory design choices than MMOs. With larger populations of retards having access to games, it's harder for them to see these design choices and fall for it.

Autists are autists and all but it's always amazing how they never realise that just ignoring one shits up a thread less.

I wonder what causes this level of mental illness.
Is it a lack of parents?

>>713993895
It was the same for the avatarfags
It's the same for folderkun

They will never learn. Filter the stupid fuck (he never varies his md5s) and continue discussing like a normal person but instead people opt to chimp out and point at the animal in the glass cage constantly like it hasn't gotten old a week ago. True fucking retards continue to browse this website - it's no wonder it's botted to fuck nobody cares anymore

>>713993475
this was a fun thread

I know we love to doompost and shit but man, I'm so fucking sad what happened to this game. We had a great thing going there for a while. There's just no joy in it for me any more.

>>713993475
This must be a mental illness or no parents

The behavior of a fatherless roastie.

This game was genuinely better system wise but they killed it with the time gating. Look at the ability lists for each class pre-ARR, and what they are after. This shit game didn't even have multiple types of spells & skills until several expansions in. It was literally just HIT HARD, HIT HARDER, HIT HARDEST

Just a mentally ill ape, probably with some kind of cluster-b personality disorder.

>>713994852
this is a good edit

>>713994702
There's a discord behind it.
You think we breed autists that put in that much work anymore? They crowdfund it now.

>>713993034
And if you don't participate in the high-end raids you literally have only a day's worth of content - after 6 fucking months

>>713994910
giving yok huy something to do now that valigarmanda is gone and smoothing out relations with the pelu

>>713994910
I can't really think of what the root purpose of the tribe will be, and why we need to craft something for them, but I assume more lore about them and their disease will be gleaned there.

>>713994910
no and I dont care
like what the fuck were they thinking with the pelu pelu being literally oppressed for hundreds of years by the giants and somehow they're all buddy buddy now because they do trade with the giants?
and the literal merchant race has somehow no corruption because of le fair trade? fuck you kate and hiroi.

if you really want to see how bad the playerbase is you should try to get the triple triad card mount
it requires playing a lot of older hard content, and you will see why everything has gotten dumbed down with each expansion

>>713995061
Pretty sure it's gonna be about Yok Hoy and Moblins. Seems like the focus for each is 2 of the tribes. Pelu and Vanu, Mamool Ja and Cats, Yok Hoy and Moblins.

>>713994910
Is that a new subzone? I don't think you can normally get that far up in the mountains other than in the dungeon.

extreme trials have gotten harder over time. thordan is the only extreme that still has teeth from before endwalker

>>713993475
mental illness

>>713995590
Speaking of Thordan, they really need to re-scale him. He's probably the only end of expansion trial right now that is a joke after Endsinger got a stricter ilvl sync range.

So what casual content do you want added to the game that will provide longevity and replayability?

Ngl I am resubbed but now I feel like I'd rather play XI. I usually play through my main during savage patches and then my alt does catchup by doing the previous expansion during odd patches but I just realized EW is actually EW. like holy shit this expansion is DOG shit. Might legit be the worst expansion in the series. At least SB and DT know when to end things.

Dawntrail is a masterpiece compared to WoW

>>713995749

>>713994910
I haven't done the last 4 beast tribes and I sure as shit won't start now
Some more entirely tone deaf moral grandstanding I'm sure that will sound like it's written for infants
The Yok Hoy are almost the perfect parallel to the lessons from Endwalker and are unfortunately stuck in this dogshit expansion - the mount might b cool but I don't give a fuck

>>713995590
That's mostly down to job, sync and stat squish changes over time though.

>>713995760
Its pointless to brainstorm any ideas because if you suggest anything outside of the expected norm, people get angry and defensive on why that's not possible or why it's a bad idea. I've never seen such a fandom dedicated to keeping their game sterile.

Varis EX also takes a surprising amount of coordination even for an EX trial, I'd liken it more to typical Savage floors

>>713996228
i don't believe you. varis extreme is barely an extreme, i'd put him at about as hard as zelenia normal

I just hate the community man, and if you can't like the community in an MMO, there's not really much you can do to fix it. And don't act like this is solvable with private discords because you know your ass nobody in this game is chill. It's just extremist one way or extremist the other. One discord will be ranting about Trump 24/7 and people not liking them for sucking dick or the other one about jews and trannies all the fucking time jesus fuck shut up.

>>713996952
i recommend you work on not giving a fuck about what others think. its a valuable life skill

>>713996719
In hindsight you could tell the downfall of this game was inevitable the instant they revealed that they would no longer be calling them beast tribes for the sake of inclusivity.

>>713996408
true, but this is game communities in general for me nowadays

>>713997052
i hate this defense man, it's even worse since it's a literally fucking mmo. you can maybe do this with a single player game like I still love FF games but I will NEVER discuss it with you fucks. but in a fucking MMO? my god, trying to have a chill game and you won't be able to because everyone's baiting each other or getting triggered.
>>713997234
true. nobody's chill anymore because a bunch of children on here just look for what's that guy's name? Max? Charlie? Bravo? opinion all the time they don't even play the game or have critical thinking just this good this bad and like the first guy if you question shit? OH DONT THINK ABOUT IT! hurrdurr

So what if DT has been bad? What matters is that it's shown how tacos and trans rights can defeat racism, capitalism. and blonald blumph.

>>713997160
I know you guys think they're pushing that angle, but its because the societies they've been adding arent beasts. It would be kinda fucked up to call Pelus and Dwarves beasts.

>>713966802 (OP)
I've been playing this game for 13 years and the rapid decline post-stormblood has always been there. the problem is that newfags and new players didn't understant the formula and the drip fed content cycle so they shit their pants at OMGG LOOK AT ALL THIS CONTENT even though it's been barebones for years.

as an actual real veteran and not a stormbaby, shadowbab, endsperm, etc. it's always been there. if anything i'm just glad it's coming to light and the insufferable playerbase is finally opening their eyes. it's a shame what the game has become and i refuse to tell people i play it now. coomers and modders ruined the game but they are just a piece of the pie that inevitably killed FFXIV.
>pic related, 2013 pre-mod and pre-tranny

>>713996719
>>713997160
I really don't see the problem with that change
It stopped making sense to call them 'beast tribes' the moment they included the dwarves in Shadowbringers
And no one would be complaining if they had made that change in ShB

>>713997643
They are both beasts as far as I'm concerned. As are rothgar and malera.

beast master when

>>713997603
The core issue runs deeper than "DT bad." The signs were there as early as the post-Endwalker patches, and DT has only continued to show the declining budget, quality, and care put into this game. 8.0 could have a banger of a story, but fundamentally nothing will change. It will be the same garbage as usual, but at a lower quality, less than you'd expect, and it'll take more time to get it.

>>713989493

>>713996825
Once you've gotten the execution down it's pretty simple and seamless to do, but that's also literally every single MMO fight ever so it's kinda like saying the sun is hot unless you're in the shade. I do think Varis EX has a much more Savage-like learning curve and execution than pretty much any other EX trial.

yoshitpiss climbed the ladder enough to get to make his own mainline ff (ff16), and he shat out a completely soulless pile of trash with shitty fetchquest mmo trash, a dead world, and overly flashy combat with terrible gameplay feel.

FF14 is the best they can manage, ff16 proved they have zero developer talent, and can only endlessly mimick mists of pandaria with their memorization slop endgame fights.

>waaaaaah /v/ tortaniced my nip mmo

Yoshida hasn't played his own game since fucking off to make XVI.

>>713995760
Hell yeah, lemme pitch my content.
It's called the Memory Dive. The idea is a weekly challenge that runs through three randomized dungeon segments and their boss scaled to the level cap so you get all your normal abilities. Modifiers are placed on the dungeon to change gameplay, both in the players favor and against them.
Modifiers could include things like setting default mana regen to 0, making enemy attacks deal all damage in the form of a stacking DoT, cutting player cast time in half, Chaining players together so they can't move too far from one another, ect.
Rewards for the first weekly clear would be a currency used to a shop that changes inventory weekly, selecting randomly from a pool made of non-progress gear. It could be minions, mounts, furniture items, glamour gear, emotes, ect. Make sure the pool includes gear from holiday events for that slim chance to get old holiday items the player either missed or wasn't around for.
Making rewards not tied to character progress means that not being able to complete one week wouldn't set you back at all, but the changing pool of rewards means there's still a driving force to get players to engage with the content in the long term. The changing dungeon bosses and modifiers also promote repeatability, keeping the content from getting stale.

Notably Valigarmanda was also not set in stone and no other Quetzalcoatl figure is mentioned yet, while Mamool Ja mentions tacos and other tortilla wrapped fare as a staple dish in Tural

>akchully my access to it is a physical book
Mamool Ja are on page 265, Ketenramm's lore blurbs are scattered thrughut the book

Also noteworthy that terms and Tural's species diversity weren't quite set in stone yet, lorebook 1 implies the nation was named Mamool Ja and not Tural yet and isn't clear on whether "disparate tribes" refers to tribes of Mamool Ja, only that Mamool Ja are the dominant race, and its king is called the Autarch and not the Dawnservant

They can't be that suicidal.
I can see them killing/getting rid of Sphene, which would suck.
But keeping Wuk around? Nah.
Just let us have Sphene. If you keep her around then you don't need to introduce another new character for a while that we'll just hate (like Wuk, Zero) anyway.

No, but if you want to look on the bright side just remember that with each passing day there's a 41% higher chance that he kills himself regular to everyone else.

>>714001417
You're STILL trying this? Can you point to the line where it says Viera or Hrothgar live there? Or the line where the land is named Tural? Or the line that describe ANYTHING about the land? They described absolutely fucking nothing about the New World in EE1. There was room for them to do anything they wanted, and Ketenramm ending up in a place that welcomed him absolutely does not mean that there can't be political tension or any kind of violence or whatever. Give it a fucking rest dude.

>>714002125
More or less.
It's just impotent flailing.

>>714002407
Fully agreed.

So can we both agree that Final Fantasy XIV is the most critically-acclaimed piece of media ever made in human history? Out of all people on earth, only one (1) person has any criticisms of it, which means that 99.99999999999999% of people love FFXIV. More people love FFXIV than love Christ. Has something like this ever happened before in human history?

I'm not even joking and if a turbo autist is here, I'd really like you to try this. I'll even set a bounty for it but
Let's be honest now, Wuk wouldn't be a problem if she was a cute midlander girl with a crush on WoL. like lmao if you put Sphene's design instead on Wuk, you'd have a LOT more people not saying shit.

>>714001667
I think you're right, but I'm not resubbing until they take seriously the feedback and put someone who knows how to write back in charge of the MSQ. I can't feel investment to the game without that core foundation which was the story.
I only did Eureka and BA because I wanted to know every little piece of Krile lore and complete her story.
If It wasn't for that I wouldn't have done it, same with a lot of other side content if it's connected to the MSQ I did it or the MSQ characters.
Another example was Blue mage I thought it was going to have some connection to Tural so I levelled up my Blue before DT during EW drought, and it was locked away in the fisher quest line.
I did Criterion Aloalo because Banri Oda recommended doing that in preparation for Dawntrail, I did all 12 routes just to get all the lore and it was interesting, I did it with my brother we played it together and it was fun, but without the recommendation and motivation of the MSQ I wouldn't have done it.
I don't do 'content' for 'content' sake, FFXIV gameplay isn't that interesting on it's own, there are other games I can and do play that are better from a gameplay stand point, what kept me in FFXIV was the emotional narrative investment because of the story.
Dawntrail broke that and it hasn't won me back not even remotely yet, I want a reason to resub so far the game hasn't given it to me.

She heard stories of sidequests from the time traveler so she became instantly and inexplicably enamored with the time traveler and decided to do everything the time traveler told her down to the letter, without trying any other option.

>>713995760
Theres some mechanical changes they could make, not just new formats of content. In my opinion, nothing from forays and V&C should be tradeable. Letting people just buy stuff with gil makes people less inclined to run the content knowing they can instantly buy its rewards. Secondly, the grind needs to be turned up. The items in Variant should require like 10x as many tokens. Secondly, more daily randomization in the form of a variant roulette and a 10 floor DD roulette.

>>714005241
yeah it's by far the worst expansion

>>714005241
nah you'll notice the spammer's fixation is on localization staff, yoshida, and wuk lamat
he sharts daily and has little or nothing to say about gameplay

>>714005241
the story is bad
the content is A+
people who say otherwise are gay

They kinda had to go the time travel route because they couldn't just do 10 hours of echo visions of the distant past to show the origin of Final Days. All of EW's problems come down to combining two expacs into one.

>>714005282

It'd probably be a little less egregious to the average player, but it's not like Lyse was incredibly popular in 4.0.

>>713994418
I honestly just feel frustrated by it, I've had 3 MMOs die on me because the devs simply refuse to not step on obvious landmines, FFS, YoshiP had a fucking GDC speech about how he wouldn't step on said landmines. The XIV devs literally have no excuse, they could have just looked at WoW and done the exact opposite of what it was doing every time Blizz fucked up and then they would have ended up with a better game and more money.

At this point I think that the MMO genre is just cursed or something.

>is DT actually that bad? like people said Joker 2 was bad but like lmfao they were huge drama queens too.

>>714005241
It's bad, and the worst MSQ in XIV, but it's not the worst story ever told as some would try to sell it. The actual content is a step up from the previous expansion, but that's because the previous expansion had dogshit content.
The story didn't have any teeth, no real conflicts or turbulence that felt genuine, and the new region it introduced felt sterilized because of it. Characters were mischaracterized because they were used as props to try and hype up the new NPC who spends too much time with the player making it seem like they're meant to be the center of everything. This would be less of an issue if the NPC were at least likeable, but because CBU3 was scared of giving her any real flaws, trials, or issues, she's incredibly unlikable.

>>714005796
blu prolocot is kill

>>714005550
Exactly the issue. With prior stuff they did just did “what we think is cool from the culture”, so Ishgard had French names, Othard was a mix of China and Mongolia, Thavnair was Persia/India. But come DT, the localization was afraid of “offending” liberal white women, so they asked DEI consultants how to do regions based on brown mesoamerica. And what they got was the most inoffensive portrayal (le tacos and peas)

>>713994418
>I'm so fucking sad what happened to this game
It's just a game. I'm glad 14 is over, time to play other games.

>>714005241
>is DT actually that bad
yes
yes it is.
i will not play DT. its not happening. i used to sub back to FFXIX for a few months every year or so to see new content and stories, but i havent done that since DT came out. i will not play it again while DT is a thing. i will not play it until DT is entirely retconned, pulled from shelves, removed entirely and replaced with something actually decent that does not include woke agendas like wuk lamat

this is non negotiable. i do not care if it costs squeenix money to do. they did it once when they fucked up 1.0 launch and remade the game, they can do it here with DT too.

She'd be less hated, but not loved.
Sphene is more loved because she behaves like a human being (so far, in 7.2.) Wuk behaves like a C-tier shonen character, even without the whole VA shit being taken into account.

>>714006138
>I’m starting to think the most hyperbolic of “DT is the worst ever it’s so over!” are those that don’t even play.
What sort of logic is that?
People played the expansion, they didn't like it that's it. Why do people like you always have to try and make things sound more complicated than they are, what's your purpose here?

>>713995760
They don't have to start adding new forms of content, they just need to start treating the game as a whole as an RPG and add some fucking replayabillity into the core gameplay loop in literally any way that the engine is capable of supporting, if they do that then they can stop worrying about creating dead-end content islands that "players" clears in a weeks time and then unsub because there is fuckall else to do other than grind so that small numbers become big numbers.

Dev pinching is only part of the issue.
Yoshi is a man of no backbone and is very susceptible to ego stroking.
The continuous development has always tried to appease people and was willing to change to accommodate them. What the game needed after HW/SB was somebody who would do things for the good of the game.
Universal accessories had a purpose, locking them affected gear/gearing significantly.
Accuracy had a purpose, removing it made the gear/gearing and the stat situation worse overall.
TP had a purpose, it made fight design and combat overall (particularly AoE) worse.
Debuffs (the infamous piercing meta) ha da purpose, but an overreaction made the job design and party compositions worse overall.

Sure, people bemoaned them but just blanket removing these things did more harm than good in the longrun because of short sightedness and a need to appease people because his ego couldn't take it. There were ways to fix the issue without destroying the concept.

>>713982002
tl;dr on Occult Crescent? Wasn't a fan of Bozja so i was hopping it was more in line with Eureka

>>714004648
Hydaelyns backstory ended up being such a wet fart that I don't understand why people didn't hate on it more.
Sure, the "big bad" being a representation of fucking Twatter that was made by a dude with the emotional intelligence of a teenager were pretty fucking bad but at least it made sense somewhat since it plays on the weakness of the functionality of a hivemind which, as a concept, works fairly well as a replacement for whatever lovecraftian horror that a sizable part of the community wanted to fight as a final boss.

>>714008676

>>714008490
Why would mods delete these threads? The posts here organically come from the posters' feelings in current day. The only reason you'd want to shut it down is because you don't agree with it, but you have to admit that there is a large subset of people that are quite frankly very disappointed with FFXIV. Sorry that it hurts your feelings, but i'd recommend twitter instead of 4chan to cultivate the echo chamber you so desperately desire

>>714000746
People undersell how true this is.
I imagine it's mostly newcomers running cover because they haven't seen the true despair and watched it fester yet.

>>714007603
Half of his non folderdump post are him melting over someone calling him a retard, a schizo, or anything else.
He's honestly a dogshit shitposter. Take real Barry for example: most of what you tell him slides right past him. This guy takes it personally and seethes about it.
Complete lolcow.

>>714002058
oh god if this is true.. its horrible...

Speaking of the Yoshida Hate General, he has linked to a new one to keep it going.

>>714007783
It's the worst Foray hands down.

>>714008490
Mod never deletes these spamdump threads because the dumper is his buddy and he sees it as accomplishing their shared goal of making XIV look bad.

>>714007783
Occult Crescent is pretty good.
Fags also can't sit around in camps anymore teleporting to CEs so a + on that.

R7 this lala (she loves big black male Roegadyns.)

>>714009040
Yeah as a shitposter I think the only thing he's really got going for him is sheer singleminded persistence. It's mostly interesting to me that he's clearly dogging Barry in some way but he doesn't quite have the "resilience" that Barry does in ignoring things in pursuit of his own stupid premise, but he'll also keep pursuing that stupid premise long after even Barry would have given up on it. The Australian had to give up on claiming The Last Remnant flopped (attacking its staff due to being shared between it and then in-development FF16) when a guy posting Jojo stuff called him a retard and had numbers in /ffg/. This guy will pretend it never happened, but then drop his spaghetti and cry about somebody that called him a retard the last time he was posting about it. Occasionally there's gloating about ban evasion, which I don't really remember Barry doing.

>>714007236
So you finally admit Zepla "doomposting" wasn't a grift. It took you long enough but you got there.

>>714009430

>it wasn't successful so it wasn't grifting

>>714009286
It's really funny how even within the same thread you can't decide if he's janny's friend or if janny publicly humiliated him by IP wiping him.

>>714009584
So after admitting she wasn't grifting you've gone back to saying she was grifting.
You change your stance more than you change your gender.

The game just doesn't have an MMORPG feeling for some reason. I think it's the constant teleporting around which makes the world feel small. The useless zones which are just staging areas for the MSQ and don't feel alive or immersive. The duty finder which means people just stand in Limsa or whatever and it transports you straight to a dungeon. The fact that you never need to speak to anyone besides "Hello" at the start of a trial/dungeon/raid.

Honestly, I don't know how you can look at a game like GW2 and not realise it's superior in pretty much every way. And it doesn't even require a sub fee

>>714009724

>>714009987
I'm playing FFXI on a private server. I think I've spoken to more people in a month than I have in 5 years of FFXIV it's embarrassing. It's true that the old games simply encoured more socialising whereas the newer MMOs just want you to solo all the time.

>didn't get to folderdump in this thread he made for it enough so he made a new one while this one isn't even bumped off the board yet
Isn't it time for a rangeb& for this ape?

>>714009808
>The game just doesn't have an MMORPG feeling for some reason.
For me it was how the game world is set up, if you want to travel to a different area, loading screen, if you want to travel to a different area within the same city, loading screen, if you want to go to the inn? Loading screen, if you want to travel anywhere even using the ingame transport like airships (yeah these are still a thing even though no one uses them anymore)? Loading screens. Loading screens, loading screens, loading screens.
Then if it isn't a loading screen you're then stuck in a menu.
You want to do a dungeon, trial or raid? Menu gaming.
You want to communicate to other players in game? DO NOT USE THE IN GAME CHAT
You have to use discord, you use the in game chat not only is it clunky as fuck and doesn't work half the time, it is incredibly thin skinned on the tos front if someone takes offence to a single thing you say? Your account is at risk of being perma'd.
So discord is a must which is something taking you away from the game breaking your immersion.
The big point for me is questing in this game is absolute dogshit and completely solo player focused.
The MSQ is a solo experience outside of dungeons and trials there is nothing shared, you can't even do yellow quests with your friends.

>>714010246
it was time years ago
i think the biggest insult he could ever receive is a ban or warning for posting generals since "tranny generals belong on /vg/" is one of his calling cards

>>714010246

>>714007381
it makes more sense once you realize that by doing all that, they can make a few billion dollars by which to flex on the other billionaires, then live off it and die long before the ramifications of their actions comes home to roost

theyre basically all megalomaniac narcissists that done give a shit about anyone but themselves and look upon every other person as a tool to be used at best and garbage to be discarded or ignored at worst is what im saying

>>714010145
I just think it left a good balance to have DF. If people wanted to solo, it's there for them.
If you wanted to have any control over the people you get, better make friends and talk to people on your server and go to the places people congregate to. Like Wineport and Coil or the main endgame hub for trials.
We couild've had a loosely community enforced requirement of going to the expac hub that any trial is from to shout about groups there.
Just think of how many places wouldn't be dead because of that alone.
