GOOD MORNING /V/! I've had my morning coffee and made my daily rounds. Was pleased to see that today there were more Poetry awards to give out rather than Jesters. The tide is turning. You might be okay with FFXIV being shit, but I'm not. Thank me later.

I genuinely don't believe him
He was on the board, he produced XVI, he's been the producer/director of cash cow fantasy XIV, etc.
He absolutely should have the pull to make XIV good; he's just burnt out
HW and ARR were on shoestring budgets but were more varied and fun than whatever the fuck gets spit out of the combine-a-stand-in-spot-mechanic generator they call current fight design

>>714179961 (OP)

Can he just not admit he spent all the fucking money on FFXVI? Everyone fucking knows the truth.

He's been taking his entire consumer community for granted for five years because they're intimidated by the game's PS3 spaghetti code they can barely alter or improve upon. He's even mentioned "i would just start with a far better setup knowing what i know now" before in previous years.

His passion and interest for the game has hit the end of the line.

The breaking point for me is when he apologized in the most recent live letter, not for the quality of the content, but the quality of SERVICE; i.e. all those emergency maintenances which nobody ultimately gives a fuck about.

As someone who witnessed this shit going down with TERA:
It is 100% Lalafell pedos who can only get their fix in this game. It was the same with Elin faggots, the last roaches who don't want to leave the sinking ship because their pedo shit is no where else. Doesn't matter what happens, XIV is always the best game as long as they can get their baby porn.

7.2 had a new tier of raids and OC so theres a lot to do, even had a new extreme trial
dunno what 7.3 will actually hold players to stay subbed for since only a new trial and alliance raid is coming.

>>714184396
Yeah, 7.3 might be a bit slower again.
Should at least have a new relic step though to pull players back into OC again.

Seems kinda dumb not to add another foray zone before 7.5 given how fucking small and basic the area is. just a bunch of reused assets dumped on a fairly flat plain

He probably knows more about the man than the biggest YoshiP fanboys around.
Like one time he randomly brought up that YoshiP was an arrogant asshole who thought he made Monster Hunter big with his ideas, which I had no idea what it's referring to.
Then I googled it and it turned out YoshiP just had an idea for something in MonHun that he suggested and they added.

This live letter was genuinely the biggest admission of fault we’ve seen out of this fucking nip, it actually gives me a tiny bit of hope. After all, he’s either basically shit talking the company openly for underfunding his studio (unlikely, he’s taken it like a cuck for years at this point), or the increase to funding has already been approved and so he has permission to admit to the issue.

>>714188092
None of the old shit that dropped in Bozja had any value at the time because it was all primal bardings and minions that nobody wanted. OC drops things like the Gabriels and Eldthurs mounts, which were extremely valuable because they were rare drops from Eureka and Bozja. Stop being a dishonest faggot. Yoshida is not your friend.

>>714189573
Unlikely.
Wuk's probably getting locked into the palace instead.

>>714189573
Unlikely. Look at majority of stormblood folk that didn’t have voiced lines for EW and they were involved a lot in stuff.
Even Pipin who was part of the front lines didn’t have any new voiced lines. Just reused stuff.

Well, he was also doing “old good, new bad” to a retarded degree. Like defending main stat allocation and cross-class leveling for skills. Pretending there was some kind of player choice when there wasn’t.

>>714189141
Right opinion, wrong reason. He was rightly mocked.

Both XVI and 7R2 were ablento make their money back.
The problem isn't FF, it's SE's long running string of utter garbage side projects that never take off. FF as it is right now makes enough money to stay 'afloat', but it lacks extra funding bevause so much has gone to other franchises instead which have all failed.

>>714179961 (OP)
Sweet Baby consultants aren't cheap.

Playing dawntrail right now, I don't see the big issue.
This is Wuk's story because your WoL basically did everything thanks to Endwalker. There's nowhere to go up at the top, so it makes sense to have another storyline.
So far I'm like 30% of the way through the MSQ? I haven't gotten to cyberpunk land or whateveryet.
Despite Wuk being a Shonen-tier happy go lucky MC, I think she's been fine. If you hate her character because of the troon VA that's not really an issue. Why is it regarded as "le woke and le bad"?

>>714189141
Wasn’t the reason he had this meltdown was cause he was hated by his FC or static members?

FFXIV won. Haters lost.
Better than GW2, Maplestory, Ragnarok, Ultima, Albion, BDO, and PSO2:NGS.

>>714190001
What you mean you don’t like being forced to level up classes you don’t like to get core class skills?

>>714190110
You're trans.

>>714189998
Yeah, that's correct. Every old piece of primal barding or primal minions or primal furniture went straight to the ground because it was worthless even before Bozja came out. None of that shit is comparable to the stuff that drops in Occult Crescent because the items in OC were rare drops that came from content that hardly anybody has done for years, and which were already valuable even while the content was current because the drop rate was absurdly low. Green text me another concession, fat boy.

>>714190110
I think many overexaggerate 7.0
I think the pacing was awful and Wuk got annoying, but I didn't find it "I must skip all cutscenes, this has ruined XIV forever" levels of bad. Using JP VA surely helped

>>714188041
jesus christ, i need several of those items. looks like i'll be resubbing next week

>>714190110
It's just a pretty shit and boring story. Not enough combat, Wuk being annoying, not interesting. The story itself not having much to offer until like the second half.
7.1 isn't much better, but 7.2 is great.

>>714184218
Unironically make the jump to gacha games

>>714189141
APOLOGIZE

>>714190110
Because FFXIV was lauded by hundreds of critics and over a million people for its legendary storytelling that was widely regarded as one of the best in gaming history. The storyline was so acclaimed that it led to the death of the world’s most popular MMO (WoW) and the sale of the world’s largest gaming company (Activision-Blizzard). THAT’s how legendary Shadowbringers and Endwalker were. Compare the Mona Lisa to a shitty fanart. The latter might not be “bad”, per se, but considering the massive international fan base, expectations were very high. FFXIV is a game that changed online gaming and had an outsized impact on the video game industry, so there was a lot of room for disappointment.

>>714190386
xiv is gacha now tho

>>714190110
It’s mostly because it feels like she just got random power spikes and major npcs are heavily sidelined for her and legitimately had zero reasons to be with us. You will see later on but it isn’t as bad as /v/ makes it out to be but it is a major step down

>>714190110
As an early Dawntrail enjoyer, (including the first pelupelu section), they never managed to convince me that I should support Wuk's claim to the throne over the others, and I felt like she never really earnt anything so it was very unsatisfying. I think both Bakool and Zoraal had potential but they both failed to meet my expectations too.

PEAS AND APPINESS!!!!

>>714191296
the 91-93 stretch is the lowest pit of dawntrail

but yeah, that little bit you posted ruined what was going to be a pretty strong ending. less for wuk lamat herself, but more that they tried to ape the endsinger

the first half of interphos is the best MSQ end trial by itself

>>714179961 (OP)
shit excuse the raid its already done tweaking shit isnt expensive as making it

>>714191296
Let's be honest: this trial was fucking great.
If the Wuk break in and killsteal didn't happen, people would like it.
Which is Cpt. Obvious, but still.

>>714190895
I just wanted to post Cindy since she's beautiful. Genshin/ WuWa/ HSR are honestly producing experiences that are way better than current FFXIV or WoW and it's not even close. Genshin and WuWa even have co-op.

>>714189573
The fact he wasn't invited to the XIV meet and greet in his own city still makes me laugh

>>714190110
You might expect to be Wuk's mentor, but you will be disappointed.
Her character growth is just her saying "I'm stronger/more confident now!" with no justification.
After her arc is concluded, the second half of the story could naturally progress without her, but she forces her way in.
She even forces her way into the final boss with an unskippable cutscene.

I felt similarly when I was 30% of the way through the MSQ. You'll understand by the time you finish.

>>714191502
Yeah, even after going through Dawntrail I was hyped as fuck during that fight and having a great time. That's what made it all the more infuriating when she showed up.

>>714191060
I mean the invasion was never going work eve if they got to the main land with all the mages working together they wouldn’t even get to land hell even fucking dragoons would have fucked them upwith how they are main for anti air combat. Plus just think if the tribes bought in fucking primals they would be even more fucked

>>714189573
they'll just put wuk in VA jail and if she ever shows up again it'll be unvoiced. They do write new character specifically for VAs they like. Sicard for Zenos' VA for example. Shale is Feo Ul's VA

>>714191502
People see the azem cup and still don’t think we will not use it to go to different shard

>>714191579
Honestly agreed.
It feels like getting blueballed or your orgasm ruined. You're getting into this fight, and the music is great and the mechanics are fun.
And then you're like "wow, this actually was pretty goo-"BRAAAAAAAPT and there comes Wuk to fuck it all up.
And this is part of the trial's entire design, so every time you get it in a roulette or whatever, you'll experience it again. Just a big, stinky turd on a nice meal.

How hard is it to learn to play FF14 with controller? It's what is holding me back from coming back cause I was so use to playing with mouse and keyboard but my old man hands can't take it anymore.

Ahh, the Azem Cum Chalice. Wakatta, wakatta.

>>714191958
the game is designed to be played on controller. healing is harder because the targeting is jank but if you're dps or tank its comfy AF

>>714191060
It makes so much sense when you consider the prospect of the writers bending over backwards to appease the DEI Sensitivity Consultants. Literally (You) or the Scions aren’t allowed to do anything because that could be an colonialism. And that’s a no-no.
And I think what I dislike is Living Memory repeating Amarout. It just felt cheap and safe.

They made the game with controllers in mind and a decent chunk of the Japanese playerbase is on console or uses controllers. It's a little weird at first but they designed the game with controllers in mind so it's actually pretty comfy. I play smn on controller when I'm feeling lazy and want to sit back and relax.

>>714193326

>>714190110
One of the most praised aspects of XIV's story was the grittiness. Politics were heavily fleshed out, messy, no disagreement was really simple. Nations had realistic grievances with each other and even while they got along there were still relationships that had to be maintained. See how Merlwyb and Kan-E just ditch the fuck out of you when you're accused of regicide, because they know that if they're seen trying to support you then it's grounds for war and the dissolution of the alliance. The world was pretty grim at times. Happy endings were earned with suffering, like Haurchefant's death being the main catalyst for why you vowed to save Estinien no matter what, or Yotsuyu's suicide leading to Gosetsu's salvation, or giving Elidibus a final moment of clarity so he can say farewell to his friends before he fades away. Basically there was an atmosphere of tension that made all your victories feel more earned.
Then we come to Dawntrail, which has all the tension of a Dora the Explorer episode. None of the cultures you're presented have any thought put into them, hell two of them are even reskinned Heavensward beast tribes. They all have exactly one trait and that's all they ever talk about. How they interact with each other is never given any attention. They don't even go into how any of these people view the Yok Huy who used to be their conquerors, it's like the Yok Huy exist on another planet now or something. Everyone just inexplicably gets along forever to the point they all wear the same uniform. There's a brief moment about how the Pelu Pelu generally support Zoraal Ja because they want to make money off of war efforts, but that gets dropped the instant after it's brought up. If Dawntrail were written like the rest of the game the Landsguard would have performed a coup on Gulool Ja Ja after Wuk won.

Same with the "WELCOME TO SHADOWBRINGERS" after Tesleen, the ffxiv player base are incredibly dull and unimaginative.

>>714193495
i agree with this. Urqopacha 1 was a great little section. light hearted and comedic but it actually painted Tural as a land of complexity and real people with real interests

Your WoL is never really her mentor, though. As others have said, Wuk realizes she wants "peace and love" for her people all by herself, you simply take care of the big bad monsters no one else can beat. She is described being a curious princess, but she never really stepped outside the palace and doesn't know shit about her land (didn't she have any tutors? No history lessons at all?). Her brothers had the potential to become interesting characters, but Koana's story will be sidelined at the speed of light in 7.1 (you will see how), while Zoraal Ja never really has time to shine, and his motives feel ultimately shallow and nonsensical.

The Scions are a shadow of their former selves, and one of the main plot points that drew people to this expansion - the alleged rivalry between the WoL's team and your friends' - lasts 1 (one) dungeon. Tural also doesn't feel very realistic as a country: the Pelupelu and the giants are friends despite the latter being warmongering slavers in the past; they don't comment on their neighbours at all, and each zone feels quite disconnected from the rest. In the end, every little conflicts is fixed with no sacrifices, no hard lessons, no concessions - this is a land where peace is instantly achieved after one good meal eaten together. Even the tribal quests reflect this.

Finally, the localization was a mess. Wuk Lamat saying the giants live in Kozamauka, missing punctuation, untranslated dialogues left in Japanese, mistranslated relationships ("his son" instead of "of his nephew"). It was clear no one in that team talked with each other and everything was done in a hurry.

The only character/part of the story I liked was Bakool Ja Ja and you will see why. Everything else was a major disappointment after the highs of HW, ShB, and EW. Even the gathering quests (written by Ishikawa) are miles better than the MSQ. Hiroi can't write long plots and good characters for shit.

>>714190110
DT's shittyness is WAY blown out of proportion by the community, because we come from SHB and EW which was an insane high, maybe the best story in a FF, and one of the best in gaming in general, anything coming after was gonna be disappointing, and people are extremely biased by that.

No it's not, the community and player base are correct and are voting with their wallets. You're a mazed retard who can't understand how boring Dawntrail is because you don't play other games, you've never played any other game, this is all you've experienced, you've made it your life, your personality, you have gpose pictures of your character framed by your computer that you goon to, you're completely deluded.

>>714194124
>As others have said, Wuk realizes she wants "peace and love" for her people all by herself
This is another problem. Wuk wants "peace", and that's all she knows. It's like, she just wants peace because peace is good therefore she wants peace because it's good and it's good because it's peace. Exactly what she wants for her people, why she values peace, it's never explored. This coming off Endwalker which was an expansion about how peace for the sake of itself is not a healthy way to live because it leads to apathy and stagnation. You have to have conflict in your life. It's something Wuk is never challenged on and you're expected to just shrug and go "well yeah peace is great so we support Wuk!"

>>714191958
I know someone who played for 12 years, controller only, he's very good. But if you have the choice, you'd better start learning KBM, the added cognitive load to play controller at high level is not enviable.

If DT came after Stormblood the game would have fizzled out and died. The biggest complaint about Stormblood was the Main Scenario Quest. The build up to Shadowbringers is what helped to redeem the expansion in the end. If you took that out, you actually take out some of the biggest high points in Stormblood.

Heavensward > Shadowbringer > Endwalker > Stormblood > ARR > Dawntrail

>>714194594
absolutely atrocious content but 6.0 MSQ was pretty decent despite the rough start-and-stop nature of it (i was bored a few times, holy shit what a slog)
MSQ however does not make up for me playing catch-up with old relics, bozja, and eureka the ENTIRE expansion for something to do after i got what i wanted from mt. rokkon

>>714194646
Played the game, this "grit" you keep going on about is barely in the game. Don't know why you're so obsessed with trying to prove it's existence.

>>714194732
Why do you have an issue with the Moogle event?
Its a regular thing to give people a way to collect stuff and gives extra reason to run old content. It takes little resources to do
Odd thing to sperg about

Dawntrail has been a very hard lesson for raiders to learn that in fact the game is a story focused experience, without a strong story the game blows dog dick no matter how good the raiding is, a lot of people don't want to do content if they don't like the game world.

>>714194363
I don’t play dawntrail though I unsub during every expac because I barely play ffxiv, swing and a miss. He’s right DT is like SB level

the only thing the roach king was ever right about is that "MSQ andies" are absolutely not the people to listen to for overall game health, a good or even amazing story does not make up for the rest of an expac being flaming dog shit

I quit in the first month of Dawntrail, but people just spammed Praetorium for mogtomes and the rewards effectively REDUCED any reason for them to tackle old content. A player will feel less inclined to go through ARR beast tribes when they can just get the mount from mogtomes, for example. They'd have even less reason to do old stuff!

>>714190110
It just has a really jarring jump in the middle of the story. Honestly it's been like this for a while. They keep cramming in two story ideas into one expansion. It's been like this for a while now, to the point where I think it's just a formula that they apply mindlessly.

they largely HAVE operated on this but there's some key areas where they've failed over the years, chiefly the shadowbringers combat dumb-down (not TP, that should stay dead, all the other stuff that we've been stuck with since, ie buff timer meta-slaving, being afraid of DoTs in fairness don't make scholar "the DoT job" again if they don't want uppity healers chasing damage, outright not knowing what to do with astrologian or dark knight, being afraid of machinist being strong even with its zero utility focus for ages, dark knight being too similar to warrior when it hits burst)

some of it is the slavery to savage raids and the situation may not improve until savage has lower importance placed on it and/or they design savage battles that are actually interesting (arcadion tier 2 is a great start on this), some of it is their job designers being awful

>>714195852
Obviously. It's reserved for the most mentally insane addicts.

This team cannot do any unique content without fucking it up first. Any time they try to deviate from a precise formula they create major flaws. Sure they fix it later but how many pieces of content come out that just have basic design flaws, not even getting into bugs and stuff

she's also got a much smaller presence, mostly limited to this sidequest. Horrible character and writing, but pretending she has anything like the presence Wookie has is straight up delusional. She's irrelevant to the next patch which is Ethereal-focused.

SE wasted all the profits from XIV on shitty games instead of funneling some back into making XIV better. Now the well is dry and the blame game has begun.

>>714196173
What are you talking about all the Tural people are latinx. Can't you hear their accents.

>>714196691
then who are these retards seething in the moogle tome event comment section?

>>714190110
I think you need to pay attention more to the story and writing

>>714196130
It also isn't properly meshed to half the races in the game, so it only looks good on the Middies and highlanders. It basically floats on Viera, per one example.

>>714196616
Were you there when we had the April fools even on /v/? Where we temporarily went to a board with flags? Most of the flags were not American or British, there were a few Argentinian, a couple of Mexicans, a Peruvian flag and some Thais. It was very revealing, I wish I screencapped those threads.

>>714196823
if a community gets its kicks from pretending to be stupid then they will be invaded by idiots who think they're found familiar company

>>714196823
Those guys are pretty much bots. Much like our resident /v/ spammer(s) lol implying there's more than two at most they fish for comments in every single XIV related social media post from the company and vomit out ancient information and controversies hoping to wrangle in somebody that somehow doesn't know about it

>>714195229
ffxiv only gives a small selection of things to choose from and most of it is usually the same thing every time

Played it for 8 years and cleared multiple tiers and Ultimates with 99s every once in a while, on BLM even
Controller is no challenge, the game was made for it. KBM is fine too you’ll be fine either way.

>>714197084
whom?

>>714195191
An outfit that was a Korean exclusive that wasn't even made by SE. kek

>>714197185
you missed out on zodiark trancers?
they're a group that came into existence when endwalker dropped and they are basically zodiark truthers whose entire identity is about hating venat. at some point they fell out of the limelight and started playing wow it seems. didn't know they were still actively seething about xiv

>>714191958
>>714197164
As someone who has thousands of hours with mmo kb+m I made the switch to controller for ffxiv and would never go back. I do think it’s actually harder than kb+m and might filter a brainlet.

>>714188871
>likely the choice to go devil may cry hurted them
GOD I wish that were the case, at least it would be fun, like Jack's game.
It's just cutscene after cutscene after cutscene with lackluster, repetitive gameplay in between.

>>714197084
Hey, wait a minute. I've seen this post before.

>>714197424

1 krogan vs 100 sqenix staff, who wins?

>>714195250
What if the game had an ingame survey

>>714197354
I met one recently, he claimed everything bad happening in XIV is Venat's fault, because she couldn't catch Meteion.

>>714197504
don't think that would actually be any more reliable than just reading around social media to see what people think, personally

i think it might actually be harder to sort out bad actors from actual criticism or feedback in that case too

>>714188871
>>714197370
A lot of aspects of ffxvi are good the main problem is the story is under-hated. That shit fucking blows. It gets a pass because (relatively) not many people played it. People will shit on the ffxiv tier sub quests which is relatively fair enough but it feels so much worse than it should be because the story itself is mostly self-sabotaging meandering garbage. The ONLY good part of the story is in the demo.

>>714195250
>a good or even amazing story does not make up for the rest of an expac being flaming dog shit
Heavensward?

>>714197532
at least that's a new perspective
with trancers it was just "she did the genocide ergo my ascian babbus are innocent but the lowlives don't see that" and that for 3 years.
again, didnt even know they were still around. figured they'd have moved on at some point

>>714181826
XIV money isn't for XIV, it's for more shovelware gacha boondoggles and obscenely overpriced FF7 merch.

Holy fuck.

>>714197562
Youd have to he subbed though so I think it actually WOULD filter out alot of bad actors and structure the data response better. Of course you have survey creation bias to deal with but nothing says they can’t do both.

It’s just weird they barely do surveys given the amount of feedback they seem to require.

>>714196173
There were natives based on the Native Americans, but they are not really that important, probably because the team was too scared of fucking it up and causing people on twitter to have a meltdown over "misreprented people of color".

>>714197797
there's three to five of them daily now and it would actually be justified in getting rid of them on grounds of generals because it's the same OP every time

>>714197659
>figured they'd have moved on at some point
They should have walked

>>714198025

>>714197587
I didn't want to talk about the story because it's a touchy subject, but you'd think that, considering how many cutscenes this shit has, the story would be at least good, right?

>put all of their eggs into one basket
Disingenuous retard.

>>714198235
I am not being ironic or praising DT when I say FFXVI’s story is worse than DT. Some of that might be “at least DT being bad is funny”.

Even if I feel disgust when wuk shows up in yet another scene, I feel something. Ffxvi is empty tedium.
>but DT has tedium too
It’s like watching paint dry vs staring into the black void of the abyss

>>714198512
resident thread spammer began regularly flooding threads with a metric fuckton of bad bait every thread and it's only abated with the presence of a google doc that auto-tracks his pics and how many times they've been posted, link related https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IWWfJW2qtJxvj9CcW0bAzLlB2lsmaF5zA6dghFY7vV4/edit?gid=913041854#gid=913041854

thread flooding has been quiet since the doc, in exchange the number of tepid shitposts about dawntrail and wuk lamat has gone up again along with overall argumentative habits. compounded also by two recent full IP wipes with post counts in the hundreds being documented

>>714198862

>>714187736

Why do you make this thread every single day all day long?

>>714198862
Why would the google doc stop him though?

>>714199061
That's not really a hard conclusion to come to, that somebody who dates as young as possible is a pedophile toeing the line of legality.

>>714189927
XIV is the most profitable Final Fantasy ever, including and especially against FFXV.
You lost Bazztard. You're brown and you're a fucking mental case abbo retard.

2021 someone posted an image of the guy in the op laughing in a wow thread once

>>714199157
i don't think it did, hence the mention that tepid shitposting and argumentative behavior has gone up. changed tactics and only because everybody can now see how autistic he is at a glance if he keeps pursuing it

one of the big things for him is his belief in his own anonymity regardless of what he's posting or how often he's posted it, including getting banned where he'll sometimes pretend he doesn't know what's going on and then continuing to spam

>>714197562
>an actual in game survey accessible only to players would be less reliable than reading posts on twitter
I'm amazed you find a new level of retard to sink down to in Dawntrail's defense each and every day.

Wow. I wonder how he felt when the owner of 4chan was on a FFXIV livestream with his friend Yoshida and kept making fun of WoW.

It didn't. The folder dumper got IP wiped like two days ago and hasn't been seen since. But doccy-kun really wants everyone to think of him as a hero.

>>714198767
Well my DT experience was slightly better because no Sena Bryer 4 me (jp voices), but boy both were unfathomably shit, filled with pointless cutscenes, obnoxious characters and nonsensical stories.
I GUESS, for me, DT was worse because of that retarded cat, but you're right, at least DT made me feel something (new negative emotions I didn't even knew I had)
>mfw I didn't pay for either of them and I STILL felt robbed

>>714199617

dumpy anon seething. lmao

>>714201326
The obvious samefag replies that have become a ritual part of like.. I wanna say 20% of his post dumps are hilariously sad.

Let's kill this game this wuk is sick
I want to yoshitpiss my dick

I'm impressed, dumpy.

The sheer restraint you displayed in this thread. To not actually name your boogeyman.

But you still posted a dumb wall of cut-and-paste replies that made you mad. You still won't let go of Homestuck's ghost.

Is he in the room with you right now?
How can you be sure he isn't lurking around every corner just waiting to pounce?
You're both deranged faggots.

can't wait for modders to self-destruct with the OCE party.

>>714201785
Meds, now.

>>714201785
I'm not dumpy-kun albeit. You've had that proven to you over the course of multiple IP wipes now but we both know you're not capable of honesty.

>>714201835
I mean yeah youre here seething

>>714201795
Zamn. Why are millennials aging so much better than zoomers?

>>714201216
And that's just the ones with the same hash.
That's probably not even the full extent of how many times it's been posted.
And I hate Sena (or whatever this dude's real name is) and trannies, but holy fucking god this is next level obsession.

I am a bogey man, probably the most prolific bogey man to the white knights in these threads. They hate me because they ain't me. No, but seriously I'm not an avatar poster, or folder dumper. I do however repost news articles about the game like pic related which seem to piss off the knights of FFXIV.

>>714202240
Turns out that people don't like when FFXIV is criticized. Everytime this happens the schizos obsessed with boogeyman come out of their cave and shit up these threads

>>714202263
They consider you as part of the Folder Dumper amalgam because he reposts your articles.

>>714202263
Uh oh dumpy melty

>The archive poster is a troon, upset that anons are posting shit on Sena.
Now it all makes sense. It's not logical, it's ideological.

>>714202263

Ah ok, but I'd prefer my own name like "news bringer"

>>714202469
kinda interesting that there's pretty much one news website that gives a fuck about demanding xiv's death

>>714201993
No, I'm just one anon tired of you being a moralising faggot while shitting threads up further and continuing to do so after the fact. Probably not the only one either.

>>714202226
>one single line reply
Oh yes, it's only been one line of this shit in one post, in one thread.

>>714202263
This makes me wonder...
Kind of a curious disparity in reaction.

This is just the past few days. He's been going for longer but I didn't feel like sifting through the archives.

I'm 7 people on this list. Maybe 8. Am I the baddie?

>>714202796
Is this how you spend your freetime? Obsessively tracking anons?

hmmm

Going to need new bread soon

>>714202712
I wouldn't know I don't play WoW and know nothing about their community.
I do play ffxiv or did until 7point1 and think the cash shop is a rip off for a game we're already paying a subscription for, for an expansion I'm paying a boxed price for.
Shit eaters in other games doesn't make shit eating in FF14 any better.

>>714202860
I just snip posts as he makes them, it's not hard.

>>714202796
Yeah, I've been in most of the threads. You know, talking about the game as one does.
Still amazes me that they never not caught on to the faux encouragement mockery.
Out of touch is an understatement.

Imagine if you guys just stopped talking about or giving attention to the schizo and simply talked about the game instead of turning literally EVERY. SINGLE. THREAD into your personal seethefest over him.

>>714202860
considering he's very likely the same person as folder dumpy he should probably be added to that google doc once he equalizes and stops updating his screenshot walls

counter-tracking people that've made fun of him for being a spamming shithead hundreds or thousands of times across the past six months alone is not healthy for him, it took being tracked and getting full banned and wiped twice in a somewhat short period for him to give up the dumps

>>714203034
You aren’t that important bro you get ignored and have bigger meltdowns like right now

>>714203034
Didn't touch it until we hit auto-sage.

>>714203034
I've been trying.
What did you guys do in Final Fantasy today? I haven't logged in yet because I wanted to play Lies of P instead, but I do have to get on at some point and get back to level 20 in OC.

No, why?

ok you start

sb is dogshit.

>>714203256
Then it doesn't apply to you, friend player.

>>714203247
lol, this retard thinks the other Scions have the Echo

damn, we really used to live like this..

Reminder the echo is actually CHIM and the real reason we have the echo is because you remember the character creator screen not your life as azem

>>714203034
I noticed that every single thread on this board where Barry is even VAGUELY suspected to be presesnt devolves into a literal endless shitflighting between the supposed "Barry" and anons who are obsessed with him, where said anons lament how annoying this Barry fella is, followed by endless "so true, dude" replies. Just

>Isn't Barry such an annoying faggot?
>Yeah man, like this one time [proceeds to drudge up ancient posts of who they believe to be "Barry" that are entirely irrelevant now]
>Oh yeah I remember, Barry is so annoying, bro
>So true dude, I hate Barry, do you remember this other time that Barr-

And on and on and on till the thread hits bump limit, only broken up by the occassional supposed Barry having a childish back and forth with them.

It's like these Barry haters don't realize that all they're doing is being as cancerous, if not more so, than he is by shitting up the threads to complain about their thread boogieman. It's painfully obvious by now that Barry has permanently mindbroken a handful (or maybe just a singular person who's samefagging) and lives eternally rent free in their heads. Even when he's not actually here, they think he is and obssessively lash out at "him".

>>714203402

You are genuinely mentally ill.

>>714203350
Yes it does and I'll continue to repost and highlight anti-consumer practises by the FFXIV marketing team. This offends you? Do you work for Square Enix?

Oh, I know why the doc shattered his shitter so bad, it was a full and complete reversal of his own goes at tracking other people through MD5s. Emphasis on full and complete.

I go to bed with the retard shitting himself in a thread, I wake up and find a thread with the retard shitting himself.
Google Doccy.

>>714203034
I can't stand /xivg/ but there's a reason Barry doesn't show himself there, and it's because they actively ignore him. Turns out not feeding the trolls works, who would've known?

>>714203519
>one of the most ubiquitous reaction images around
Curious that it only has 9 posts ever then.

>>714203538
My post was about how Gamesradar is a WoW shill site so their take on the situation is irrelevant.
You don't need to repost their slop to make a point about the fact that paid modernshit glams make you mald.

What is it about ffxiv that causes this mental illness

>>714203235
What does you derailing every single FFXIV thread to obsess over your persona boogieman achieve, exactly? Don't you get tired of this? Why don't you just talk about the game?

>>714203490
Folder dumpy using his same 5 images what’s next the black man laughing or the kefka image.

>>714203603
/xivg/ has a dedicated janitor is why he doesn't go there. He's referred for a ban as soon as he appears so it's very hard for him to post consistently.

>>714203640
You didn't account for different files, different color proifles, etc. Like 503859459 different versions of this image exist of varying quality, pixellation, color crunching, etc.
You are mentally ill AND a tourist. May as well call people the same guy for posting a Yotsuba image.

>>714203658
>My post was about how Gamesradar is a WoW shill site so their take on the situation is irrelevant.
Schizo time is it? Irrelevant even if that is true I'll continue to highlight anti-consumer practises of FFXIV and now you've given me extra motivation knowing that it annoys you so much.

>>714203247
>Yoshida concern troll
Except everything OP is saying is correct, you aren't actually defending Yoshi P at this point, are you?

>>714203707
It’s not shitpostable. Shitposters think it’s Everest but it’s more like Icarus flying close to the sun.

>>714203752
Do you just not know what an md5 is or something? You're right that it's one of the most commonly used reactions ever. And yet that specific version of it has only been posted 9 times ever. Which proves that it's the same poster. And you have the nerve to call anyone else a tourist.

>>714203717

This is a guy who thinks dumping The Folder™ from his phone to cheese bans means he's a different person.

>>714204041
What goalpost changed? That specific version of the image has only been posted 9 times, which was the point.

I mean... do what you want? Lol. All you're doing is making yourself look like a retard. Probably to have your opinion on a matter decided on, too.

>>714204121
Took you a few days, but you couldn't resist.

>>714204140
….what? no one accused you of samefagging, freudian slip I guess

So what I've gathered from this thread is that there is a group of Yoshida defenders who actively make it their mission to derail and shit up any thread critical of their lord and savior Yoshit Piss (even after he botched their beloved game, the gameplay and story alike, and let it be whored out by SE). They are trying to push the idea that EVERY SINGLE PERSON critical of Yoshida-san is this one singular schizo to invalidate all criticism against Yoshida-san.


They're not here to actually discuss the game, they're only here to defend lord Yoshida's honor.

>>714204375
that's you and not homestuck thoughbeit

>>714204397
Keep talking to yourself

>>714204397
You don't have to make yourself look so obviously mad. Wow.

>>714204156
>You're such a clown, I'm going to repost Gamesradar, PC gamer, Vice

Take a look everyone we are witnessing the first time in the English language this combination of words has ever been put into the universe

Big Black Male Roegadyn's? Post em.

>>714203729
It would seem he went with emet
>>714204397

bozja is dogshit.

Obviously your takeaway from this thread is that OP demanding he have exclusive posting rights for a Yoshida hate general and throwing a thread-long tantrum about not being a spammer, while giving multiple and repeated indications he is in fact that spammer, and on top of it demanding you remain on topic to Final Fantasy XIV even though it is a Yoshida hate general, means he is not a reasonable person and if you are here to post in a Final Fantasy XIV thread you should just post one on your own time, and ignore the Yoshida hate general.

>>714204465
>>714204514
Samefag. Actually you know what, I think the Yoshida loving schizo is actually one guy himself.

Yes, that's me mocking homestuck, correct.

>>714204636
>Everyone who uses a reaction image of Emet Selch, the most popualr Final Fantasy character ever and whom countless reaction images of have been made, is the same person.

See where your schizophrenia betrays you is nobody gives a fuck about yoshida like you do
