Dawntrail is getting better with every patch, and that's great.

Well, it's true.

>>714508435
It's just a pretty good experience in general.
But yeah, getting more is better.

>>714509057
it isn't
and it's not

I'm enjoying it. Good MSQ, good trial, alright dungeon, fun foray.

Would you say it's a return to form? That you're having a blast?

>>714509807
Well, given that I'm having a good time playing, I guess so?

SO DON'T ACT LIKE DAWNTRAIL IS BAD

I'M HAVING A BLAST TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAANCE

>>714509636
7.2 story was really good. hope 7.3 will be too.

i guess you could say it was their final fantasy

You've been subbed to Dawntrail for 12 months straight LMAO

>>714511890
Sorry to hear that, bro. I hope next one is the one for you.

>>714512008
You need some new pics, dumpy.

>>714512129
I marathoned Kagurabachi recently and now I'm trying to figure out a glam for samurai lol. Unironically a good shonen.

>>714512342
Isn't that a meme?

>>714511890
Yeah, don't do EO on a tank. The enemies don't have insane auto attacks like in PotD or HoH, they just have cheap one-shot mechanics that you have to memorize. So go for MCH for the damage, peloton, and silence.
>>714512315
What did you do in Final Fantasy today?

So who is the schizo that joins every yawnfail thread and immediately posts
>DAWNTRAIL IS A GOOD GAME IM HAVING FUN EVERYTHING IN THE GAME IS GOOD?
It reminds me of the DD2 IM HAVING A BLAST posts when it released

>>714513306
I'm sorry XIV threads aren't your schizo echochamber.

>>714513306
Are you referring to a character in Final Fantasy XIV? I don't recall anyone like what you're describing.
>>714513374
Final Fantasy XIV?

>>714513374
most XIV threads ive joined the past year have been shitting on the game. It really only took yoshida saying the game is dying and they ran out of money and the folder dumper to mindbreak yourself into trying to convince people to find this troon game to be good

Anybody watching?

>>714514125
I'm watchening.

>>714506914 (OP)
what happen?

>>714514231
>what happen?

>>714514125

>still has the balls to show his face and preach to people how great him ruining the once biggest RPG franchise is to a bunch of trannies at a convention

ive always hated his rockstar ego. I hope someone asks him why he destroyed final fantasy and brings up expedition 33 and BG3 to trigger his ego

i don't think they'll ever top this

>>714514125
Why would I give a shit about what "inspired" him? He a talentless hack.
His 5 minutes of fame of being le heckin' uwu wholesomerino developer are over, people have seen through the fake act.

he's doing the vagueposting bit again because he's starved for attention
hope he did something new in game this week

I've been thinking of doing a rewrite of DT to see how hard it'd be to fix it. I did a quick summary of what I'm thinking for the 6.55 patch introducing the plot, any thoughts on it? For context, Wuk's background is changing to being forbidden from leaving the walls of Tuliyollal due to multiple 'accidents' that almost killed her. This is also where her fear of water comes from.

>6.55 (DT Introduction)
>The initial start remains mostly the same, with Krile and G'raha requesting your presence on behalf of Erenville, he has a request of you on behalf of a friend from his childhood. Same introduction with Wuk being a retard with spicy meat, Erenville being tired of her antics, ect. Erenville is the one asking for you to come help for his sake. Given Wuk's history, there's concern on a possible attempt on her life. Erenville isn't a fighter, so they're looking for safety during the trial. Along with the promise of lucrative payment, there's also the chance to get to explore Tural, a region that's only recently started opening its borders to foreigners. Krile jumps at that, mentioning that she had been planning to request an expedition due to the letter she found.

>>714515273
Shame, it's kino so far.

how is the party on bismark going? is the guy who's running mare still shitting himself?

>>714515646
nah that's still shit, because wuk is involved
she should have been a tertiary character and nothing more

>>714516171
Wuk being a problem in the story is not inherent to her character. The writing and worldbuilding of DT is what's bad, and that bleeds through to her character and interactions with her.

>>714516619
Wuk is what Alphinaud would have become if the Crystal Braves worked out

>>714515972
But more importantly, where are all the big Black Roegadyn men? Out here in Limsa right now and there's none to be found.

>>714515756
a boomer jap that works in anime is inspired by gundam? WOAH THAT'S SO UNIQUE

>>714516680
Exactly. If the writing had been shit in ARR, if Alphinaud's naivety had not been punished, if there had not been consequence, Alphinaud would be considered a shit character. It's the same with Wuk. That's a writing problem, not a character problem.
That Naive character type exists for the purpose of clashing against and being beaten down the reality of the world. To be cut away to where there's still a need to do good, but an understanding that the world is not all tacos and spice. That's the writing DT needed to make Wuk a good character.

>>714516982
>>714516619
wuk doesnt exist exclusively outside of the overall writing you fucking retard

I've been playing since ARR and dawntrail is the first expansion I haven't bought. Even before they revealed the catgirl. I don't know why people even cared about this expansion in the first place. The new jobs look fucking lame and beastmaster should've been a real job.

Why are Lalafel players so obsessed with Roegadyns? And why of the darker persusasion?

>>714516982
i think there were two good opportunities for Wuk to fail and grow from her mistakes that would have fit decently well in the setting and circumstances:

>kozamauka, the kidnapping
instead of it being a targeted kidnapping by bakool ja ja, she gets nabbed by a black market slaver ring that preys on the local naive birds and moblin people. there she meets a girl similar to her who sings her praises and is a staunch supporter. when you and thancred arrive to save her, the new girl is collateral damage. wuk comes to learn what the stakes of her mission are

>yak'tel
after making skibbidi pibil with koana, it comes blaringly obvious that the contest was setup in her favor. she is then told by her bio-father that he cheated to help her. she tries to dismiss the win out of fairness and honor but is reminded shortly there after that at least two of the other candidates are willing to do whatever it takes to win, and that she needs to do the same

>>714506914 (OP)
>94 reviews in the last 30 days
This game is fucking dead, holy shit...

FFXIV poisoned our water supply, burned our crops and delivered a plague unto our houses!

>>714507320
Literally untrue
>FRU is the most boring, easier than on-content UWU
>Chaotic was a complete disaster, abandoned and wont be making more
>still no word on new promised Criterion dungeons
>Savage is still boring puzzle fights that lack the creativity of Coils and Alexander
>Cosmic Exploration fell off immediately compared to Ishgard Restoration
>Occult Crescent combines the worst aspects of Eureka and Bozja making it boring and uninteresting
Every piece of content people were excited for flopped, DT only gets worse each patch

>>714518080

>>714517640
Yeah, those would definitely work. My mind was pointed more towards the Yok Hoy scene. Having it try to strike her while her back's turned and Erenville taking the blow and getting injured would have more of the immediate impact, especially since Erenville acts as a good foil to Wuk's naive nature.

>>714518248
i forgot about them. yeah, her helping them and they still attack those who can't protect themselves would be a great awakening to the notion of evil

>>714518174
Nah, I've been enjoying it.
And why are you bitching about no criterions if you're just gonna say "it's more of the same" and "flop".

>>714518451
Criterions were good content, they just struggled with rewards and only got it right at the end...only to abandon to process.

>>714518451
>Nah, I've been enjoying it.
That's all you've been saying all thread

Lol.

>>714518804
Who do you think you're convincing here? You've been trying so hard to defend Dawntrail for a year straight yet the subs continue to plummet as the game gets worse and worse. Just give up little buddy.

Remember when /v/ claimed XIV would dominate the MMO market?

>>714518981
>You've been trying so hard to defend Dawntrail for a year straight
You are schizophrenic.
I am literally a person saying I enjoy the fucking game I'm paying for and playing, and you're making up some conspiracy that ANYONE, ANYONE at all that has the gall to enjoy a game is some kind of defense force you halfwit mongoloid.
You are the saddest waste of life ever. No wonder you're a 2-bit gooning gacha insect with 0 social life or future prospects and a family that will be relieved when you pass away.

>>714519153
You enjoy the game so much yet you can't even say what you enjoy about it.

>>714519408
What did you do in Final Fantasy 14 today, Emet-kun?

>>714518592
I mean, a lot of those points are just opinions though. There's nothing to defend if someone's just saying 'I don't like it'.
The only thing actually there that can be 'defended' is Chaotic, and that's just because there's no actual word on getting more or not.

>>714519408
>say what I enjoy
>HAHAHA HOW CAN YOU ENJOY THAT LMAO LOL DED GAEM
The funny thing is you're sitting in these threads so often, folderdumping and sperging that it's clear you don't have any game you're playing or enjoying.
Which is really sad.

>>714506914 (OP)
lmao yoshida in the anime con apologized for dawntrail being bad

>>714519070
given the competition, /v/ was correct.

>>714506914 (OP)

>>714514125
I watched for five minutes and it was just an exercise in Yoshida inflating his own ego, it wasn't talking about the game and he barely listed RPGs that influenced him.

>>714519781

the game wouldn't be doing so bad if the job and content designers put a bit more effort in.

>>714519885
my wife..

>>714520412
>muh 8.0

>>714520412
Agreed. Any thoughts on the kind of changes you'd like to see in any specific class? I like seeing people's thoughts on class design.

>>714520526
Honestly, I'd love to see them bring back some kind of identity to the jobs. Right now everything feels like it got pureed into “rotation go brrr”. DRK lost its edgy MP drain gameplay, SCH is still pretending it’s a DPS with healing envy, and every melee job just glows and spins in a circle indistinguishably. Give tanks something unique again-WAR having Inner Release windows was iconic. Let support jobs actually support mid-fight. And for the love of Thal, stop gutting old abilities just because they’re “inefficient”. I want my jank back.

>>714521030
we can safely ignore this anon

>>714521030
>No actual mechanical ideas
I get it, and I agree with you anon, but I'm still kinda dissapointed. As a result, I'm gonna throw in my own ideas.
>DRK gets an OGCD skill that burns a percentage of health to regain mana
>MCH gains more damage but gets walking cast time, their big skill makes them 100% immobile
>DNC gets either a damage boost or an increased chance of gaining a fourfold feather based on distance moved since their last basic skill

>>714514125
awful event. made me more worried about the future of this game

>>714514125
>entire show is yoshida trying to make himself look like a bigshot
>comes off as desperate if you know the current state of ff14
kinda sad ngl

>>714520526
>PLD Cover is reduced to a 30 second cooldown, no gauge, soaks all damage directed at target with a 25% reduction. Intervention now makes the PLD leap to the side of the targeted ally and gives both a 30% DR.
>WAR gains Lost Blood Rage. Attacks used while Berserk earn the WAR stacking overhealth. The goal is to keep Berserk running indefinitely through Blood Rage.
>DRK now uses HP for TBN and Edge of Shadow. Blood Weapon now drains a significant amount of HP for any attack used under it including Edge. DRK learns Dread Spikes which converts incoming damage to HP and overhealth if full.
>GNB learns Draw and Junction. When targeting an ally it works like BLU mimicry and heavily boosts skills depending on the Junction. When used on a boss it instead acts as Draw Cast and allows the GNB to cast one of the boss's attacks at extremely high potency.

>>714522663
>BLM gains a buff after Enochian rolls for 5 minutes straight called Magic Burst ready. The next Flare cast under this buff will deal 1500 potency. After hitting an enemy with Paradox the next elemental spell cast will deal double potency.
>SMN now has all six ARR elemental primals available at all times, allowing a delay of demi primals if desired. All summons now have a five second cast time. Bahamut and Phoenix are on separate buttons and the order in which they're used will allow the summoning of either Alexander or Odin.
>RDM learns Verpoison, long cast DoT used with dualcast. They also learn Temper, a passive which boosts their next melee combo as long as they alternate Flare and Holy. Reprise upgrades to Frazzle.
>PCT learns Paint Subject which allows them to conjure an image of the boss and store an enemy's attack for use later. This is a 5 step combo with motif cast times.

>>714522767
>Boss damage is now much more random and inconsistent, untelegraphed tankbusters like Death Sentence return, bosses frequently target non-tanks for minibusters and DoTs
>WHM learns Seraph Strike from Bozja while will grant a free Medica III on use. Cure II will grant a Glare IV if it successfully restores HP. Any HP successfully restores by lily skills transferred 1:1 to bonus damage for Misery
>SCH loses all self casted heals except Adlo and Succor. Their full DoT kit returns and the slow effect of Shadowflare will effect bosses. Eos and Selene kits return and have expanded healing capacity, the SCH can direct heals parallel to their own casts so they effectively play two characters. Cleric Stance returns
>AST's Draw changes to a 10 second cooldown and all cards apply a 10 second buff, this is the primary way AST provides damage now. Time Dilation resets the time on ALL party buffs. They learn Slow which will land on bosses
>SGE builds healing resources based on damage dealt with Dosis and builds damage resources based on shields popped. Eukrasian Pneuma blasts the entire party with damage and inflicts 3000 potency on the enemy. Eukrasian Esuna can convert DoTs on party members into regens of equivalent damage. Sage learns Leeches which will drop a party member to 25% HP to cleanse any and all debuffs.

>>714522890
>MNK learns Kick, a passive granting a third auto attack every tic. Hundred Fists lowers auto attack potency to nothing. Haymaker returns as Counter which activates on any physical damage including raidwides.
>DRG earns damage reduction from each Jump. Jumps are turned into GCD skills. Super Jump allows the DRG to hover in the air, building power for up to 5 GCDs before crashing down, can be activated earlier for less potency.
>NIN just gets the real TCJ back.
>SAM just gets Kaiten back.

FFXIV is.. Good.

Oh yeah, that's the shit. Finally someone willing to talk actual mechanics. Any thoughts on Ranged jobs?

>>714523731
he posted it here >>714521528

and almost none of these actually change how the classes play

>>714523731
>BRD's DoTs are refluffed as songs, all songs are retooled and no longer on a strict rotation, by level 100 you can maintain two songs at once. Mage's Ballad enhances magic damage and restores MP once again, Army's Paeon gives a potent regen and enhances physical damage, Wanderer's Minuet allows for movement while casting, and a new song removes positional requirements.
>DNC now applies debuffs on the boss such as Drain Samba or Haste Samba, giving bonuses to anyone dealing damage to the boss. Applying enough debuffs will enhance other dances and boost the power of their dance partner further.
>MCH learns their old turrets again and they pulse out resources such as healing or MP. MCH learns Safety Bit, a targetable invuln on a 10 minute cooldown that prevents a party member from dropping below 1 HP.

I just think its hilarious that FFXIV was the game that completely mindbroke the WoW playerbase. They've spent two decades trying to harass every other game that even remotely challenged their chosen addiction but FFXIV has proven to be one mountain too tough to climb. They now live in a bubble of denial where they play WoW vanilla and are forced to either turn a blind eye to or defend the heinous shit that Blizzard does to retail.

Imagine the life of someone who spends 16 hours a day on this board in a perpetual mental breakdown over another video game existing. Thanks for the big laughs on a big holiday.

game peaked here

>>714524257
has any MMO ever reached these heights? goddamn.

And XIV will live for many more years, so don't expect it to change anytime soon.

>>714524068
It's about giving jobs individuality and skill caps within the strict confines of the game's systems, not about making a new game.

>>714524423
Only once, maybe twice before.

Midnight has the potential to be the most hyped and popular WoW expansion since legion considering how much normies love elves

>considering how much normies love elves
Meanwhile elves in FFXIV look like ugly lanky trannies. How did CBU3 fuck up ELVES of all things? At least they got catgirls right.

>>714520526
it'd be cool if white mage had an aoe water spell which upgraded into banish (it could reduce magical resistance like the light sprites in eureka) and had its dot durations reduced. holy should be the level 50 capstone and have some single target utility.

>>714518174
stopped reading when you said fru is easier than uwu even on content
you basically just communicated to everyone that you've never touched an ultimate and have no idea what you're talking about

>>714524257
>>714524423
Especially considering we were so deep in the covid meme at the time they really pulled out all the stops. The game broke the glass and cashed in payoffs it had been building up for years here.

>References to FF1's boxart in the opening cutscene and FF14 1.0's logo in the transition because FF14 from ARR-onwards encompasses those games and everything in between
>Letting the boss face your party 8v8

>To The Edge is Soken's magnum opus, a song about accepting death which he literally wrote from his deathbed to work through his own feelings

I think my only complaint is that the first phase of the fight should've had another track and To The Edge should've been saved for the climactic second half. Tsukuyomi had not one but THREE boss themes for the same fight, after all. Oh, and that Elidibus' villain redemption arc robbed us of 5.0-era Elidibusposting which was probably my favourite gag of all time in these threads.

>>714525609
That ship sailed the second they tried to deflect any and all valid and objectively correct criticism about the character or performance with the VA being a troon, so criticism is now TRANSPHOBIC, CHUD!

Now you gotta lie in your bed.

>>714506914 (OP)
I dont play this game at all, someone explain to me why this is a shitshow now. Something about the new character is all I know.

People put up with a LOT of shit in this game because they liked the story, then the story finally shit the bed in this expansion and the negativity dam burst.

>>714527514
I see but that really doesn't explain anything to a guy who never played it.

Endwalker was worse. I've said my piece. I know most of you aren't ready for that discussion.

>>714526960
Some retard has been having a seethy about the game for years.

I really wanted to get back in this game, but endwalker killed a lot of interesting lore and possibilities and I cannot bring myself to care about a single thing in Tural.
After a few months of vacation from this game I really cannot bring myself to care about the game, even if I really tried. And this is coming from someone that loved to do everything and loved the lore and factions of the game.
Oh well all things come to an end.

>>714527773
> all negative response to my game is one seething individual

lol

>>714527906
This guy XIVs. Shame people will call him a trancer or a Garlenigger because they aren't ready to accept what he's saying.

I gave up on the MSQ and never got to max level.

FFXIV is easily the best MMO on the market

I levelled everu job to 100. These were the worst new job actions ever added.

>>714528237
well there isn't a lot of competition

It really does baffle me, because it cannot be that hard to design a good mmo.

>>714518451
>there are people in this world that like to eat shit
even if you enjoy it, it doesnt make it good

>>714528051
I agree with him. DT did a weird decision in trying to separate itself from Eorzea and the other places, because they want to build up a whole new story arc, but at the same time they didn’t know what they wanted to do at the time.
It’s a weird spot, because Tural basically tried to speedrun two continents worth of background in 1 MSQ. Eorzea took 1.0/2.0/3.0/4.0 to finally handle all the locations there and then other ones had bits and pieces for the other continents.
And for 5.0 even though you’re not there, you’re still kept up to date what’s going on with Eorzea.
As what’s been discussed to death is how “safe” Tural was in forcing the backstory of Gulool Ja Ja solving everything 80 years prior.

>>714530806
FFXIV has been the best attempt so far, I think it's a mix of "recognizable IP", "story focus to ease players in" and "not just focusing on endgame". only IPs that immediately come to mind that could pull it off is pokemon, maybe 40k.

>>714528237
How every part is bad there is nothing redeemable about it. OSRS is way better even though it's old as fuck, WoW has way more options and even guild wars 2 has it's charm. It's not even in the top 10 of MMOs.

>>714507320
True, the best patch will be the last one, because it means we can finally leave this horrible expansion.

>>714530943
DT could have worked if they had fully committed to the premise. Alexandria and everything about it was the worst thing the expansion could have done. I liked Shadowbringers and all but I hate that we can't just have stories on the Source anymore. Everything has to be shards this and Ancients that. Just hearing them try to make the name "Etheirys" stick makes me want to vomit, too.

>How every part is bad there is nothing redeemable about it
>this is good faith posting btw

>>714531812
Shut up Dawntrail defender you've been doing this for over a year and you are literally alone. This game is fucking dead and nobody likes this expansion.

>>714530974
I think measuring any of these metrics by 'best attempt so far' is the wrong way to go about it. Each MMO has something that it does well and can be learned from. There are parts where XIV falls short compared to other MMOs.

>>714531973

>>714532030
>So what if I'm liking shit!
>Let me enjoy eating shit!!!

>>714506914 (OP)
I wonder if it would make more sense for them to work on the next mmo already since FFXIV seems to suffer from their dogshit coding.

>>714532175
settle down.

>>714532175
>self titled dawntrail critic
>first thought is always of shit, eating shit, the act of shitting
worrying how common this is

>>714531757
The entire expansion should have focused on Tural, it'd let it build it out further, seem like a real place, and keep to the lower stakes adventure. The final dungeon/trial should have been a fighting festival through the streets of Tuliyollal with the level 100 trial being WoL against Galool Ja Ja and the three promises.

>>714532232
They're not going to develop and push a new MMO unless they're really sure they wanna shelve FFXIV.
For all the doomshitting, XIV still has hundreds of thousands of players with jumps with patch drops. Making a new MMO to replace XIV could very well result in nobody hopping ship to the new MMO and XIV bleeding dry regardless.
Surely, you wouldn't expect them to make that mistake again.

>>714532451
"new mmo NOW" is i assume made with full knowledge of why XIV is even popular at all let alone alive right now and they're just begging for it to fail in a roundabout wy

The problem with Tural isn't that it isn't developed enough or that the stakes are too high.
If the development is just more tacos fix ethnic conflicts or here is some more wholesome latinx inspired cultural garbage you don't care about then it's more of the same problem, there's a reason a lot of people prefer the alexandria part of the story.
They should have some actually interesting political conflicts in Tural and characters who's motivations aren't so fucking 2 dimensional.

Anon, Legion wasn't good.
All it had going for it was tone, and class-based fanservice.

>>714533384
Yes, it goes for any change that it needs to be written well. The idea however, is that in giving more time to tell the story, it becomes easier to write that story well. You don't have to cut important details, you can spend more time to emphasize things that need emphasizing, you have space to add what needs to be added.

>>714527619
It's a cross-section of people who hate trannies, and the story for the base expansion being primarily about said tranny.
The reason there's debate now is because they're phasing out the focus on the tranny voiced character and focusing on a cute princess.

The actual content in the game varies between 'good but flawed' and 'the best in years'.

>>714534887
The character's not a tranny, this isn't up for debate or discussion. You are conflating the voice actor for the character. You are brown. This is extremely brown behavior. As is lying to a hypothetical audience of non-players.

>>714526946
That's because retards kept telling it to 41% instead of complaining about the shitty voice job it did before the first patch tried to fix it.

>>714535000
>tranny voiced character

This game deserves to flop for doing Viper instead of Corsair

>>714535506
it deserves to flop for viper being so thematically fucking boring and having nothing to do with snakes OR zidane
it's so thematically fucking boring that every single viper in tural dresses differently than the artifact armor

>>714535327

Heh, get owned.

>>714536628
it's fundamentally the same argument despite the bitching that it's not

ultimately it's the same mistake as any other poster that's come to believe, over the past ten years, that "tranny" is a synonym for SJW or used as a catch-all insult and goes in any situation

yes i am aware sena bryer actually does have a penis

Who is the content in this gmae designed for a this point?

>The content:

>>714536894

Honestly it's hard for me to care about some third world shithole inspired region which is somehow very evolved and pleasant.
It was bad enough with endwalker and india, but a whole expansion completely focused on latinxland which is a superpower and super nice with very little conflict compared to a lot of eorzea is just too much.
And of course everything in the story tries to steer away from anything that might evoke anything even slightly adjacent to the image of the white colonist savior because that would be a no no to Kate.

>>714535000
You don't know how association works. Everyone hears the voice and they associate the character with it-- at least those that are playing with English voice acting. I wish we could get a recast with a proper voice actress, but that's unfortunately not likely to happen so we're stuck with what we have and what we have is a trans VA that has marred the image of the character by association.

>>714537879
honestly i doubt he'd be capable of making an equivalent doc to track his haters

>>714538029
>Everyone hears the voice and they associate the character with it
I'm not fucking stupid so I don't do that in the way you're describing, I don't imprint the actor onto the character. That's Shakespeare era peasants believing the play is real stuff.

>>714537886
I logged on an alt at the beach party, did a roulette, then logged. Haven't finished the current patch on my main but I'm really so disinterested that I don't know how or when I'll force myself to do the trial. I actually like Sphene but the rest of the story has been so goddamn awful it doesn't equal out.

Why does he have so much trouble talking about anything that isn't 7.0

>>714538348
That was meant to be his big win. And gosh darn it, he'll demand that we all stay time frozen in 7.0 so he can get his win.

>This schizo is literally trying to convince everyone on this board that EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON who shits on or even vaguely criticizes Dawntrail in anyway shape or form is the same person.

Who does he think he's fooling? Like he can't genuinely believe, considering how blatant and undeniably widespread the hatred for Dawntrail and the disdain for the current state of FFXIV is right now, that this schizo narrative is ever going to be bought by anyone? Is every single FFXIV thread that ever gets made now going to be spammed by this Schizo posting his goc and accusing everyone criticizing the game of being his boogieman?

QRD? Last played during Shadowbringers' launch week, and I want a rundown of everything that's happened since.

I am asking what is fun about simon-says DDR slop with bodychecks galore, that's so mechanically bloated that you need to read/watch these kinds of convoluted guides just to be able to clear them instead of being bale to simply intuit what you need to do by simply looking at your screen? Elden Ring is considered one of the hardest video games ever and literally all the game boils down to mechanically is just dodging the enemy's attacks. It's far FAR less simple yet still extremely hard.

So why does FFXIV need such extremely overcomplicated mechanical bloat in order to challenge it's playerbase?

swimsuit pic with midwit raiding opinion and giveaway "ddrslop" catchphrase

>>714534314
Tone and fan service are literally 90% of what is important in a game

Dragonflight/ war within is mechanically probably the best WoW has ever been; but that isn't reflected in perception because dragonflight was a lame theme and war within feels like an expansion of set up rather than an actual expansion

Midnight could be absolutely insane for blizzard, as I've said the actual bones of the game are in a great place right now; tonally midnight is exactly what the general consumer base loves, all blizzard needs to do is show a CGI cinematic with lor'themar, thalyssra, malfurion at sunwell etc and the hype train will be immense

That's before you even mention housing, which personally I don't give a fuck about but it's clearly the most requested feature ever and everyone who has actually previewed it says it not only matches XIV, it could actually be better

>>714526691
FRU was probably relatively the easiest ulti for high end players who had done on content endwalker ultis. It was a relative step down in difficulty particularly in terms of dps checks because of pct and had effectively no meta puzzle for the world proggers. Dozens of groups cleared FRU week 1, hell i even cleared week 2 and im fucking retarded.

RDM needing to alternate Holy and Flare would be nice but sometimes you're stuck using two in a row due to you Mana and proc situation. The manafiction window is already tight enough to fit all the GCDs in that trying to squeeze a DoT would be futile.

So serious question what do we go about this schizo fella? He's spent the last year vehemently defending Dawntrail and has only become increasingly unhinged as his various copes (up to and including Occult Crescent) failed, and now he's become even more deranged to the point that he's now making insane google documents autistically track every single anon posting in these threads to "prove" that we (all of us simply criticizing the game) are actually all one person trying to........uh........I don't know, I don't know what the fuck doc-schizo's point even is here. Is he trying to argue that everyone in these threads criticizing Dawntrail are one person who's goal is to hurt the game by......criticizing it? I don't know, I have no idea what he wants us to take from all this, other than he's completely lost his goddamn mind and become an unbearable sperg making every FFXIV thread unuseable.

Honestly he needs to just be IP banned at this point because he's clearly never going to fucking stop, he's OBSESSED with defending this game even in it's miserable current state. He's here every day, in every thread, obsessively stalking every single person posting in these threads trying to connect them on even the flimsiest things like a fucking reaction image (which countless people have used) or a choice of wording.

We're at the point where you literally cannot say ANYTHING about the game that's not outright glazing it or else you're accused of being his boogieman.

Do not respond to the Google Doc Schizo, he's here to derail threads as much as the folder-dumper is. He wants to label anyone and everyone as a boogieman to provoke you into arguign with him to defend yourself from a blatatntly false and deranged accusation where he will continue to provoke you nonstop into arguing with him over his made up bullshit until next thing you know, the thread has hit bump limit and this derailment has completely consumed the thread leaving no actual discussion.

He KNOWS it's ridiculous to accuse anyone critical of the game of being a specific person. He knows it riles you up and is an easy wait to bait you into his neverending argument trap. The fact that it's blatatnly ridiculous and nonsensical is the POINT. It's BAIT. Do NOT respond. I repeat, do NOT respond, even if he directly accuses you of being his made up boogieman.

>>714540067
lmao he really got dumpy shook.

Realistically, what could you give DRK to replace the Delirium combo? It's kind of lame that it's the same thing Warrior gets on its 1m cooldown. I was thinking something that consumes Darkside would be cool. It could be like, 40s 2 charges, consumes darkside to give a 10% damage boost and 10% mit for 10 seconds

At this point, we'll see folderdumpy post the same way all the way in 10.0 and he'll still be fearful of docbro.

People don't hate Wuk only because her EN v/a is a tranny, but she would get no where near the hate she does if she was voiced by a skilled female voice actress.
Nobody denies she's the Poochie of the game, but you can't deny if she was at least pleasant to listen to not as many people would be upset.

>>714540416
That settles it. All fights can only be Hall of the Novice-tier.

>>714540325
It's not entirely his fault. Everywhere else where Wuk Lamat is voiced by a real woman hates Wuk Lamat too.

have you considered not being brown?

>>714536628
No.
You need to be a skilled voice actor though, and Sena simply isn't.
The accent is too thick, incorrect for where she's supposed to be from, drops occasionally, plus the voice director also shit the bed.
Add on that you have to listen to shitty voice acting for the vast majority of the 7.0 story and you get where we are now.

strengthens the existing similarities to reaper, gives it a unique approach to burst among tanks, allows dark knight to tard the fuck out and fight like a man possessed as in lore, furthers the guts references they've already been making with dark knight for a long time

I've been playing FFXIV, and it's been a lot of fun.

>>714540624
Appearance, animations, music, story (still), spectacle, rewards, sidecontent, far fewer bugs and the ones that exist aren't gamebreaking, magnitudes less pozzing, no 90 dollar dinos, no 90 dollars early access (free for XIV)

FFXIV is great i can play 0 hours a week and feel no Fomo at all.

>>714540569

Im starting to think dawntrail was a failure on purpose so yoshi p can use it as a reason to be set free from his role in ff14. He obviously wants to make other things and doesn't care about this game anymore

Tone and fanservice falls flat to anyone who doesn't care about the lore and story, which is a majority of WoW's playerbase post-LK.
WoW lives and dies on cool moments.
The gamplay has always been serviceable, even during it's lowest point.
The lore is out of the window though. Let's be honest, even if Midnight's story is of Dawntrail's quality it would be the greatest story WoW ever told.
Most importantly, WoW's biggest problem is going to be crawling out under all of the self inflicted reputation damage that started over a decade ago with Cataclysm.
The only people who've come back so far are those who were so damn addicted it took Shadowlands or WoD to get them to kick WoW.

>>714547097
It's because the original guy they retweeted actually put his own spin on it. I translated both messages and they do not contain the same core message.
That yuzz guy has:
>ファイナルファンタジー14が黄金のレガシー以降、ゲーム品質の低下やファン離れが起きているが把握しているか?
>把握している。ファイナルファンタジー14は暁月のフィナーレで区切りがついて以来、黄金のレガシーから次の10年に向けて動いてる。8.0以降も楽しんでいただけるよう開発チームは全力で取り組む。またプロデューサーの吉田はいくつか兼任をしていて、忙しくてファイナルファンタジー14に集中できていないのではないかという意見があるが、今兼任でやってる仕事もファイナルファンタジー14に経験として必ず活きてくると考えている。
Which translates to:
>Are you aware of the decline in game quality and loss of fans since Final Fantasy 14's Golden Legacy?
>I understand. Since Final Fantasy 14 ended with the finale of Akatsuki, it has been moving towards the next 10 years from Golden Legacy. The development team is working hard to ensure that you can enjoy the game even after 8.0. Also, producer Yoshida holds several concurrent jobs, and there are opinions that he is too busy to concentrate on Final Fantasy 14, but I believe that the work he is currently doing concurrently will definitely be useful for Final Fantasy 14 as experience.
But the real question and answer was different.

Hey Faggy Doccy, if you hate the evil doomer schizo so much how about instead of ruining literally ever single thread on this board that get's made with your retarded meltdowns how about you just ignore him and use these threads to actually talk about the game? Why are you incapable of doing? Why are you incapable of just talking about the game?

Like even if we assume you're COMPLETELY CORRECT, wouldn't the logical thing to do just be IGNORE THE FUCKING SCHIZO AND JUST TALK ABOUT THE GAME?

>>714549597
Kate is on the side of the powers that be, so that's not allowed.

>>714549650

>>714549650
Because he's also trying to shut down discussion, he's just doing it for the opposite reason. He's melting down about the reaction to Dawntrail and doesn't want anyone talking about it if they can't say anything nice.

>>714540624
Considering how everyone quit, probably nothing at this point

>>714539221
The Localization has been bad for years now. If you're still playing in English at this stage, do you really care if they're rewriting the story?

It was truly 1/10, awful. They cannot serve as little content up as they do and still charge people monthly. One patch every 6-8 months should be genuinely criminal. Buyer beware. Last time they're ever getting my money again. Sena is one of the most annoying people alive, and he has absolutely no talent whatsoever. Hinging the narrative around that character was a huge mistake, but getting that loser to voice the character adds insult to injury. Awful game, awful company, love to see it burn.

Honestly though? FFXIV is a pretty fun game.

Honestly though? FFXIV is a pretty shit game.

>FRU is the most boring, easier than on-content UWU
lol?

>>714550167
He's right. UWU's Titan gaols are actually one of the hardest mechanics in the game if you aren't cheating like everyone does. The "puzzle" in FRU was also so simple that everyone solved it on accident without even realizing.

>>714549650
>instead of ruining literally ever single thread on this board that get's made
That's his goal. He's not really trying to out some "schizo", his goal is to render these threads unuseable my doing everything he can to make them devolve into endless fingerpointing "YOU'RE [insert boogieman here]". He's essentially trying to BAIT every single anon in these threads into pointlessly defending themselves against obviously nonsensical accusations of this boogieman or that so that they argue with him endlessly as there is no winning any argument against him, no proof that is ever sufficient, he will endlessly move the goalpost to keep whatever argument he's entrapped you in going, samefagging himself all the while and simultaenously attacking other anons that appear with the same nonsensical allegations, as this serves the purpose of completely drowning out any form of discussion from ever happening in these threads.

So when he pulls up some random post from the archives and accuses you of making it, he knows full well it's nonsense, the nonsensicalness is the POINT. He hurls increasingly ridiculous accusations against you all to make you mad and feel the need to defend yourself and disprove obvious bullshit. His entire purpose is to prevent ANYONE from ever talking about the game at any point

I honestly genuinely suspect this person is the janitor and this is his newest tactic to fucking shit up these threads to make them unuseable because NOTICE HOW HE MYSTERIOUSLY STOPPED DELETING THEM SHORTLY BEFORE GOOGLE DOC SCHIZO APPEARED?

>>714550264

>>714538096

>>714550350
Conga lines give you time to react, gaols you have to see everyone in the same clump together after the knockback, notice who got marked, and parse that in your head almost instantly. The reaction required for gaols without automarker is crazy.

>Because he's also trying to shut down discussion, he's just doing it for the opposite reason. He's melting down about the reaction to Dawntrail and doesn't want anyone talking about it if they can't say anything nice.
Yeah well I don't know what we do about it, because I don't know how many anons are still left at this point. We (by we I mean those genuine anons still remaining who haven't just abandoned this shithole board by now) could just try ignoring the schizo-white knight. But honestly it seems like there's pretty much nobody left at this point, not enough to even spark a conversation that could carry a thread in spite of a schizo. I think the schizos have successfully driven virtually everyone away.

I'd suggest moving to otherchan (where this faggot would get exposed really quick for his blatant samefagging) but for some reason nobody wants to move there.

>>714550373

>>714550726
My artbook appreciation actually worked very well earlier. It's just when I had to turn my attention toward real life instead of the thread, it devolved into shit again. Legitimately just keep spamming about the game, keep asking them what they did that day, and it helps if you post relevant images to flood out spam from both of the seethers.

>>714550827
>People on otherchan are very hostile if they learn you're 'refugee' from here
I mean there version of /v/ is literally fucking dead. Nothing get's posted for literal DAYS and there's threads that are literal YEARS old. If only this shithole stayed dead maybe it'd be alive. The only people who stayed over on this site are the gachatards for some reason (they even got their own board).

>>714550827
They're also very hostile if you're blatantly samefagging, something folder dumpy learned quickly when /vg/ avatarfags were asking him what the fuck he was doing trying to gossip about Homestuck with himself.

>>714550726
altchans layout and the obsession with putting as much new shit as possible makes the sites unusable. i don't think people understand that 4chans simplicity is what makes it the best. outside of having an actual userbase.

>>714543052
>censored, distilled, wokeshit niggerfornicated version of what once was a good mmorpg.
But enough about FFXIV

>>714551145
Off the top of my head 4chan's PHP-based nature makes it almost comically archaic but it also makes it very light on actual processing power, so the site runs well even on the toasters it's had for decades and even with the constant image processing and serving it does, and makes it scale extremely well to large applications

the base-game is more likely to have relevant reviews, it's a lengthier process to leave a review specifically for dawntrail

>>714539928
Left after DT's release, how slow has DT been for now? Isn't it at 7.3?

>>714552335
What did you do in FFXIV today? I played some Occult Crescent, did a little grinding for the night then got off, what did you do in the game today?

>>714552372
7.3 is next month.

He's currently pretending he didn't freak out about dog dicks and invent a wife on the spot in the other thread.

you ok bud?

So when does Homestuck go to sleep? Want to know if anyone has managed to figure out his sleep pattern so we can just wait till then and talk about the game. Or is this Google Doc schizo part of a wider Discord group that operates on different shifts throughout the day to keep shitting up FFXIV threads 24/7?

ANOTHA ONE
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO

>>714552405
What the fuck, DT released last year, ever since covid they've been on covid-timed patch releases with less and less content.

>>714552558
the discord is always watching... waiting.. in your walls..

>>714552553
I think what his problem is is he wants the thread notoriety and clout of having his own Google document but he's too lazy or stupid to make one to track this Homestuck character he believes in really fervently

>>714552558
I'm pretty sure literally ever single thread has been like this for the past 2 weeks, I don't think this faggot sleeps at any point. Or it is in fact a Discord rotating shifts (somebody on during the day and somebody else on during the night to fuck up every thread they find).

>>714552564
>im NOT a schizo btw

>>714552650
Well another part of it also before I forget is that the Homestuck character doesn't post the same shit over and over so a Google doc tracking him is fundamentally useless, his equivalent is screencapping a bunch of posts with no obvious correlation to one another beyond telling him to fuck off for similar reasons in arguments or even just conversations

>>714552695
I'm not a schizo but I'm very petty and enjoy laughing at pompous retards.

>>714552558
>>714552663
Well the lala avatarfags have been observed to vanish at 4am EST every single day, and I have never observed Homestuck's presence when they're not around (suspiciously), so I suggest waiting until then. Maybe 5AM.EST. Unless it is multiple people on different sleep schedules to ensure 24/7 thread schizoing there has to be an 8-hour window SOMEWHERE that they're gone and we can have normal threads.

my guy, that image is unreadable

LOL

>>714552775
you should join us in laughing at folder dumpy then

>>714552843
I put the red dashes so you can follow when a post is a reply to another post.
>>714552852
I do but there's no point in collecting his posts when he does it himself.

>>714552848
>his equivalent is screencapping a bunch of posts with no obvious correlation to one another beyond telling him to fuck off for similar reasons in arguments or even just conversations
this is you posting the same bait a bunch of times and getting pissed you got different replies operating under the same logic

where did your wife go? she doesn't exist anymore
