why do they waste money on french and german dubs
>>714632732 (OP)Purposefully killing FFXIV so that the higher ups stop diverting its money to fund half-baked failures like Forspoken, The Quiet Man, Valkyrie Elysium, DioField Chronicle and so on. Just look at the patch content ARR or Heavensward had every 3 months compared to what DT get every 4 months and a half.
The problem here is that the mobile version might end up replacing FFXIV as SE's main source of income so they won't care

>All FATEs have been brought over. FATEs can spawn with higher difficulty and rewards called High Risk and are marked in pink on the map instead of blue. Bicolour Gemstones and Forlorn Maidens have been added, along with new limited time buffs that can appear after killing/collecting objectives that power you up for about 15 seconds. Along with more EXP and gemstones, High Risk FATEs also have the chance to drop coffers containing a random piece of glamour equipment.>Additionally, there is a series of extra objectives to be completed in every FATE, such as getting so many monster kills, defeating the boss, collecting items, and other varied tasks that can be completed over the course of repeating the FATE several times. These unlock extra rewards in the FATEs menu.>FATE rewards are sent out even if you are in a situation where you can't normally receive it, you will be allotted the EXP and items immediately when the FATE ends and a Moogle mails you the details of your rewards if you are unable to be present for the FATE ending notification. This includes leaving the zone, being in menus, and even entering instanced content.>New types of world events have been added. Buried Chests can be found around the regions, with friendly marmots to guide you to them. Performing bands can be encountered and using emotes in their vicinity grant you a buff to EXP Gain and Bicolor Gemstones earned in the area. There is a Goblin Merchant that can be found around the world, and helping him pick up his stuff and returning it will progress a bond level that adds new items to his store.

What's the interview the thread's reffering to? Live Letter?
>>714639141He did a panel at AnimeExpo, it's on the FFXIV twitch channel.
>>714639141>What's the interview the thread's reffering to? Live Letter?Yes, it's been officially translated now:

>>714632732 (OP)Forked tower isnt very difficult the hardest part is joining a group but there are a bunch of discords organizing runs everyday and with the recent hotfix its pretty easy to get into an instance and avoid snipers. Mechanically none of the bosses are even at an extreme level hell some of them are easier than some of the 24 man raids.

>>714634124>>714634289>finally add the qol people have been asking for for years>... to the mobile portYou literally cannot make this shit up lmfao.
>>714638336>>714638372So what these tastes from YoshiP has revealed to us mere mortal plebeians is that YoshiP is a casual viewer of movies, that these are the most generic and mainstream movies that people of his generation can enjoy. He likes them but this makes him basically a Popcorn movie fan, or if you want to be more critical he's a Bandwagon movie fan only liking movies with mass appeal and what is popular.
If you notice there isn't really a single thing there he listed that is offensive or would garner an audience to look at his taste and say "oh that's interesting I would never have thought that of him".
It's basic mass appeal, cinema movies he's listed, so fucking generic it hurts.
>>714634124>>714639608These changes are amazing and I'm very glad to see them being implemented, is what I would be saying IF THIS WASN'T BEING IMPLEMENTED IN THE FUCKING MOBILE VERSION! WHY THE FUCK IS THIS NOT GOING INTO THE PC VERSION?????
>>714639725Cause the mobile version is massively improved and bespoke. Whereas PC XIV is running on PS3 code
>https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2503717174
I'm watching this now an I'm reminded of why XIV's story and premise just "gets" and pulls in so many people from /here/, self included.
Yoshida's influences are all the same tastes as /v/.
>>714639913I wish instead of the graphics update and adding data centers that are now empty because of the dwindling player base, that Yoshida said cost them a bunch of time and money to implement they instead took the time instead to transfer the game to Unreal 4 like the mobile is running on which would have been such an improvement in itself it would have improved graphics, qol, netcode much like the mobile version which is running on Unreal 4, they could have brought in the Chink devs from Lightspeed who are running the Mobile version to help make the transfer over as well.
>>714634124They put more effort into their product because it's new and they want people to play it.
>>714640067Yoshidas taste reflect his Japanese cultural sensibilities.
>Social Conformity or Pleasing Others: Listing mainstream movies can be a way to avoid standing out or risking judgment. Popular films like Marvel blockbusters or The Notebook are unlikely to spark controversy, so someone might choose them to avoid debates or backlash, especially if theyโre conflict-averse or in a setting where they want to fit in. This could reflect a desire to be agreeable rather than a lack of personality, though it might suggest a hesitancy to express individuality.In short, he does not want to be the nail that sticks out and gets hammered.
>>714640067/v/ is a Lethal Weapon 2 board?
>>714640197Thankfully, young Japanese people are so over this shit and don't care as much about conforming.

>>714633678Honestly hard to imagine how bad it could be, but it must have be really fucking bad
I played through this game at the end of Shadowbringers and though it didn't hook me, morale at the time was flying high and I seem to remember the next expac being very well received too
The fuck happened?
>>714640074I don't actually know how possible that would be. Changing an engine isn't easy because of data transfer. The mobile game can do it easy because everyones starting fresh, I don't know if you could keep all the character/account data through a full engine transfer.

>>714640908The tl;dr is that all the staff who made the game good to begin with moved on and handed it over to the C team who botched the story, the central pillar of the game, in addition to Endwalker having a three year content drought before that.
>>714640908>Honestly hard to imagine how bad it could be, but it must have be really fucking badI couldn't physically play the expansion for more than 45 minutes at a time. I'd have to take a break.

>>714634124Forlorn Maidens are fucking stupid and Bicolor Gemstones being made into a reason to do FATEs instead of being actual decent EXP just guaranteed they would die after 2 weeks though.
>>714640630No shit, I wasn't saying it was it's based on DnD but DnD was originally based on Tolkien Lord of the Rings, it's the root inspiration for one then the other.
Like I said it's not about him really believing it, but just showering some nerd cred by saying he likes it.
You really think that he, a Japanese old man has those American movies, the most generic, basic bitch movie that everyone enjoys as his his inspiration? Of course not he's listing movies that are mass appeal so everyone can smile along and nod and no one can argue "yeah I don't like those movies he has shit taste".
He's presenting a false face which is fine, he's a big producer and director but the genre his games are in, are beyond the title of the game themselves they are Fantasy in origin.

Hopes for the Hardi-boiled questline? I mainly hope it to be revealed that the mastermind behind the constant cases Harbi-boiled has been cracking is none other than the Alexandrian equivelent of Nashu.
Then through some shenanigans, our Nashu accidentally swaps places with the evil one.
Eden had the best raid story, fight me. It was Yuri-kino
>>714644532Lahabrea, you're small time

>>714644481benching arenvald for this stupid bitch is not worth it.
>>714644676I thought it was great, it felt like an addition to the MSQ made it all the better and of course the FF8 references, can't beat those.
no Gaia and Ryne are not lesbian lovers I fucking hate this player base sometimes that they cant conceive of two girls or two men like Thancred and Urianger having a friendship without there being some sexual component fucking coomers and gooners
>>714634124>>714634289Why the fuck isn't this in the main game?
>>714644635yea i think sol 9 nashu is involved too but i do like both of them. I like hildi sticking to his guns about non violence and i like hardboiled zapping everone.
Just got to patch 6.1, looking forward to this newf adventure, looks like we have comfy adventurers with Estinien and Y'shtola. I wonder where this plot will go? I can't wait to find out!
>>714644863because they're starting from scratch in a licensed game that only comprises ARR so they can afford to do a bunch of tiny stupid QoL things the actual game doesn't have time for, see viera hats taking two expansions for the developers to figure out most of them. i heard china hates it and it monetizes pretty aggressively, so good luck
>>714644863>>714645038I'm actually kinda hopeful that the fates thing might get transferred over to the main game. I get that they can't directly port things due to engine differences, but copying some things like the fate upgrades from one to the other would be pretty nice. Maybe we'll see it implemented in 8.0
>>714645038That's the problem for FFXIV taking two expansions ( 6 years) to add in a simply hat solution for two of the newest races.
If they started a new version of FFXIV 6 years ago instead where they could implement Qol from the ground up much like the mobile version we would be seeing the fruits of those labours coming to fruition about now.
Those crying weirdos who keep saying "Why do people hate YoshiP so much can't you leave him alone?"
Because he is the main guy at the top of FF14, he is the forward facing, man of this game who even said himself if there are complaints to bring them to him and leave the other devs alone.
He is managing the game poorly and allowing it to stagnant in this maintenance mode which ffxiv somehow has found itself in rather than being an innovator of the genre.
The last time the FFXIV devs did something creative and innovated instead of "streamlining" (nu-speak for removing features) was Stormblood. Since then almost every change has been a removal of a system or button or feature in favour of homogenisation.

>>714639230>"The system features for Delubrum Reginae seemed too overbearing, so we tried making them a little more hands-off this time around."What the literal FUCK did Yoshi mean by this???
>>714645191overall the list reads like it's merging some of the more tertiary elements from eureka and other stormblood and beyond expansions (additional tasks is objective weeklies, buried chests are straight from eureka, goblin merchant is a delivery NPC) but i do agree fates could use something to spice them up and encourage their performance beyond an alternative relic grinding first step and bicolor gemstone farm at expac launch. though in tencent's case i can't say for sure whether it's intended to be an actual case of forward porting features or just hiding the lack of content available in ARR. probably both
>>714645449>just like add in hats bro so ezit's not, viera and hrothgar are spaghetti code. seems to me like the hat solution they came up with is a combination of untangling some of that spaghetti, possibly separating viera ear customization from the internal "hat" that they actually occupy in gear slots to allow for that. i remember around endwalker people were poking over male viera and their ear customization code was significantly less stupid than female viera's
>>714645478Not doing anything wrong. Honestly occupying "someone else's" afk spot is based as fuck, it's sad as fuck those are even a thing
>>714645709You realise the solution they went with in the end was the excuse they used all along? That they couldn't add in hats because of ears clipping which in the end is the solution they went with.
>>714645819the solution they went with in the end was a combination of allowing them to clip and allowing you to disable viera ears entirely
i couldn't care less what their "excuse" actually was; i don't actually have any kind of axe to grind with the developers on it. development is hard and they don't actually owe me anything past delivering the game when they say they will
>>714645896Anon, the point I'm making here is they took 6 years to implement what they could have done day 1. They went with the solution that was their excuse not to implement the hats.
It's a sign of their stubborness, their glacial implementation policy. It has taken 2 years since their reveal of the chatboxes, 2 years for raid planner, I'm still waiting on the implementation of alts being allowed into my main character's home which was a promised feature in 2019.
>>714646081they changed their minds, shit happens. i'm angrier that hrothgar exist with a full blown animal head than i am it took them a really long time to decide viera should wear hats after all. pretty much everything they take an age on i as a player file under "mild annoyance" or "casual nitpick," i have deeper thoughts on server tick and how many jumps dragoon actually has now than i do how long it takes for features to come to light
>>714645449Job gauges just supported homogenizing jobs.
>>714639230>link to the reddit thread that links to the news post that links to the digestWhat the NIGGER fuck is wrong with you NIGGER
>>714643685Anon, nobody talks about xiv because every thread is populated by a MINIMUM of three dedicated shitposters. You can't have a discussion about this game on /v/.
>>714646081I dunno, I wonder if the viera ears things is really just a surface level change or something deeper. The change happening along with hair finally showing while you have hoods on makes me think that it's more than just flipping a 'viera ears now clip' switch.
My schizo thought is that A while back they talked about wanting to add more character customization options, so this may be a piecemeal step towards implementing hair sections instead of just a single hairstyle. No chance it's actually real, but I can choose to believe.
>>714634124i may finally quit if they're going to make an actual game with fucking mobile
>>714646606it's a combination of there being a switch that does exist, and that switch basically being multiple hats occupying the same slot at once. code-wise viera ears are a hat, this was done to facilitate the ear customizing feature but ended up nipping them in the ass later
>>714645449>to add in a simply hat solution>hose crying weirdos who keep saying "Why do people hate YoshiP so much can't you leave him alone?"Is this google translated?
>>714646652It's a licensed game by Lightspeed which is owned by Tencent, SE doesn't have any actual part in it.

Why would you make something that only a small percentage of your customers engage with and expect the rest to stick around?

>>714648017I would assume the JP version of Xeno and Arthras is working at CS3. The Head of encounter design also seems like a fairly staunch hardcore raider and for these types, gate keeping is pretty important.
>>714648125Nta but I came back after not playing since 7.0 and just got done with msq and raid and haven't found either of them to be good. Msq is on the same level as the worst parts of 7.0 if not worse and while arcadion 5 and 6 were pretty cool, 7 and 8 are not enjoyable for me. I feel like all of the bosses, trial included have a lot of visually unclear mechanics. Overall I'm very disappointed though not surprised
How is it seemingly EVERY single MMO ends up being held hostage by raidtrannies, who always make up -5% of the playerbase? How does this tiny minority have such power and sway over the developers every single time? Why don't they just design their games around the majority (who don't raid) and tell the tiny minority of raidtrannies to fuck off and dilate?

>>714648638The problem with that thinking is that people who aren't hardcore raiders, don't become hardcore raiders. Raiders are a small, static population that never grows, and normal players do not become part of it. It takes a 'unique' sort of person to have the right autism, free time, lack of personal hygiene to be a hardcore raider. So the game's community, as a whole, will never foment around that kind of content.
>>714649206RAID OR FREAKING DIE!
>>714648459>raiders got jack shit in EW
>tfw roulette heroes are always the winners
>>714649206There are a few reasons people don't become hardcore raiders in XIV, but that's for only one of the reasons. People who don't intend to be raiders still watch others do the content, still watch world first races, and a community still builds around those. Mix it with the lower dev costs for making it, and it's pretty easy to explain.
>>714649571>still watch world first racesThey tried to monetize that shit and it completely fell through because people really don't care that much about it.
Which crafter is the worst to level and why is it ALC?
>>714649621god that was funny. what was it, M4S? got the full echo WFR treatment. over in under a day
>>714649621>They tried to monetize itReally? I must've missed that shit. Doesn't really change anything about a community being built around it though, just means the community isn't willing to pay to watch.
Speen will become a scion with healing magic
And her purpose will be to cling to the WoL while Alisae seethes
>>714649621Yeah Echo coming in with their big dicks swinging thinking they were going to monetise the WF race and then discovered that YoshiP and Ozma had made the first Savage tier and then the Ultimate far too easy for Ult raiders which made it boring to watch and far too short.
Kek's all around.
>>714649912She'll be a summoner who uses Alexander and all SMN mains will rope.
>>714649473Forgot to add, not being a hardcore raider allows me to focus on my 1# favorite activity (next to roulettes), and that's heading over to Balmung and meeting up with my Big Black Roegadyn male hubbies. THAT, to me, is REAL winning
>>714649912Who will be left in charge of Alexandria?
Ok can someone explain me what the deal with the Twelve actually was in the end?
They weren't primals, they weren't supposed to be gods, yet faith did affect them? And Venat made them from her circle of fans, for... what reason again?
>>714649941She literally said she knew healing magic though
>>714649971The people will accept that she's properly dead, as was the intention before
Speen is too outdated to rule anyway, she even acknowledges that these arent realy her people anymore and she has no right to be their queen
>>714649973did you try playing the game because it tells you all that?
>>714632732 (OP)Making high-skill action content in MMOs is dumb because they control like garbage, are jank besides, and are heavily based on gear and meta shit anyway.
Raid content is a meme.
>>714650039Yea, but I was kinda pissed when "THEY NEED TO DIE BECAUSE... UUUH THEY JUST NEED TO, OK?" so i stopped paying attention
>>714633442Why is he italian?
>>714650093then do it again in NG+ and this time pay attention
>>714649989Garnet in FFIX is a Summoner/White Mage
>>714649973They were creations made from fragments of Venat's friends who gave their lives to summon her. People worshiped them for so long that they began transmuting into pseudo-primals like Ultima the High Seraph did.
>And Venat made them from her circle of fans, for... what reason again?To act as a foundation for certain beliefs, ideals, and technologies that could survive after each Umbral Era. People imbued the Twelve with fundamental ideas, and the Twelve cycled those fundamental ideas back into the prayer stones to be redistributed. So it was like a cycle of civilization maintenance.
>Yoshi's fired
>gets replaced by Nomura
How would this make you feel?
>>714650093They need to die because they are sucking up aether against their will and they want to return that aether to the world
You are a retard
>>714650093Uh oh neopagan melty
>>714650140>Spoonfeeding
>>714650117>>714650181It must really frustrate you that someone is asking about Final Fantasy XIV in a Final Fantasy XIV thread.
>>714649971Zarool Ja as the Head of Resolve, and likely the head of the resistance as the Head of Reason. The justification being that Speen is out of place and out of time, not truly understanding the needs of her people.
>>714650223I don't remember that statue in ShB.
>talking about FFXIV
>on a XIV thread
my absolute FUCKING SIDES
anyways, what's your favorite Final Fantasy game.
mine's 1, completely unironically
>>714649952Bro you are actually mindbroken. Feel sad for your mom feeding your fat ass.
>>714650181>Uh oh neopagan meltyWasn't it the tradcaths bud?
>>714635204This sounds like the goofiest shit
>>714650318>Last chance of the setting having real deitiesWorld Serpent says hello
>>714650232I think that makes her even likelier to become second Queen of Reason if lil' nigga Mooj stays on, both of them have no fucking idea what they're doing (Mooj is like eight years old and has admin rights and understands the gravity of what he's being given but not the execution, Speen was queen during active war time and understands she doesn't recognize the newest Alexandria but has experience in ruling and people-pleasing)
>>714650287They're in Mt. Gulg.
>>714649753Yeah Echo went in to the first tier of raiding saying they were doing it all on stream, all completely modless.
Then lost to a JP team who were found to be cheating.
Same thing happened with Ultimate, JP team that won world first cheated again, and then it kinda killed the entire hype around world first, as multiple people were exposing cheaters and then is was all about accusing each other of cheating,
I mean we all know people cheat, but it's supposed to be a hush hush, don't ask don't talk situation.
But JP teams kept posting their win with cheating evidence so it was pretty hard to ignore.
Red dot anyone?
>>714638465>tfw you didn't beat the game posting about dt
>>714650303>Bro you are actually mindbroken. Feel sad for your mom feeding your fat ass.Yeah, Cocoli is a very sad fella, not sure why he feels the need to share his BBC fetish with us every thread but oh well.
They better have speen join
She is the only positive thing to come from dawntrail
>>714634124do NPCs also not use default fucking 2.0 skills
it's fucking hilarious playing old content and seeing shit like thancred blasting flash

furry tranny VN with fake gameplay
>>714638372I'm glad he's not a fucking writer but jesus lmao
>>714650356depends on if that would be considered a god or more of a law of nature, maybe ties into the lifestream as a general concept if not outright being a metaphor for it. given the lifestream is an FF7 invention and 14's works almost completely wholesale the same the world serpent could be a more fantastical version of that greater lifestream or however it was worded in advent children and later where jenova was gonna fuck off to and keep the chain going
regardless though hydaelyn/etheirys doesn't have any deities and meteion attests the entire universe can have godlike beings but they're still just extremely powerful aetheric concentrations. folder dumpy being obsessed with the legitimacy of gods your character is instantly suspicious of not being divine and is later proven right on this hunch based on their own experiences, is incredibly strange for a setting that's effectively atheistic but still supernatural. i imagine "tradcath" stuck in his ass for a reason but i very much doubt he's catholic since that brand of witch hunter doesn't exist anymore. more in line with online viking larpers that say they worship norse deities but actually just thor and odin
>>714634124I'm switching over, no reason to pay a monthly sub when you can play a better version for free.
>>714650476You can't even fool yourself with posts like this, dumper.
>>714632732 (OP)easy mode raids made savage raids much less impactful and worse experience
are they really not doing them anymore? big W
but doubt i play FFXIV anymore after they went woke
>>714632732 (OP)Was wondering where the angry Yoship thread was
>>714650641You say that but he likes to take credit for the FFXIV story outlines. Seriously, he says he's the ideas man and he's got ideas for FF14 for the next 5 years already planned out in his head.
>>714650698>You can't even fool yourself with posts like this, dumper.Not sure who you're talking about? We were talking about Cocoli and his strange BBC fetish.
>folder dumpy is talking about the twelve!
Jesus Christ give it a fucking rest, you lunatic.
>>714648395They are super loud and all the e-celebs are raidtrannies. even though they have shit views.
>>714650439Japs are still trying to comprehend the mysterious gaijin artform. They're at late 00s-early 10s level right now.
>>714650768There was no screenshot that makes anybody mad posted.
>>714650380Mooj is a good fit because while he doesn't understand the execution, he does understand what's right and where Alexandria should go. The leader of the resistance or whatever her name is is knowledgeable on the means, though it's going to be revealed that she's not as strong as heart. This is going to mirror Wuk and the cat guy in the same way. Wuk is retarded but 'Luv muh people' while the cat is the one that knows how to get it done. Mooj is the direction, other chick is the motor.
Sphene meanwhile fails at both of these. She has the heart, but is still out of place in Alexandria not knowing what's best for them in this new time. She also lacks the true understanding of the tech, as its all new to her. She has neither direction nor motor.
>>714650753well yeah he's basically just gen x-ier kitase, without the collective brain rot of having someone going through a chuunibyou phase for forty years being his top employee and affecting the development of games he has little to no involvement with

>>714650812I love the Japanese, I respect their culture and I enjoy their people but sometimes they really are fucking retarded.
>>714650651I'd consider personifications of a law of nature to be a god. It's the same way that, to my understanding, the elements in the twelveswood are technically gods.

>>714651046>>714651210What did you do in Final Fantasy today? Did you by chance get Mt. Gulg in your roulettes?
how easy is 7.2 ex, i havent done it yet
>>714650959those ones are in the same bucket as just being extremely powerful aether concentrations, hence bahamut powered them down to the point of near uselessness in the latest calamity (and hence the ixal can get anywhere close to the twelveswood without spontaneously bursting into flames or 1.0's famous example of garleans approaching the twelveswood causing an elemental to begin to glass the entire planet)
interestingly though elementals intentionally presented themselves as coming from nophica to give the illusion of divinity, and the longer the game goes on the less and less sense it makes that they have communication troubles with anybody but seedseers. there's also an idea given by a couple quests (VERY few, less than five and mostly job quests) that elementals are stranded dragon souls that didn't float off to their own lifestream and instead remained bound to this planet
>>714651293It's pretty easy but there's one mechanic that makes PF's brain melt for some silly reason.

His dogshit system can't handle anything else.
>>714651629Nothing. I play tomorrow. Savage on Tuesday I guess if people even show up
I will resub if I can either romance sphene or ryne or ysthtola or even just sphene being a permanent member is good enough for now.

>>714651732I think the in game screenshots just look like ass anon I'll give the benefit of the doubt there
You have never taken a good reso picture out of gpose completely not caked up on shaders if anything or external shit. I will play devil's advocate for this alone because I don't fuck with the in game shit. No fucking clue what they do but it rapes the quality

Regular thread flooder's collection of pictures represented by their hashes and every time he's posted them
Changes his behavior when he's caught too often in too short a time, lately his favorites have been swimsuit pics attached to random kvetching about job design and "DDRslop" raid design but by and large he's gone back to kvetching about two lalafell avatarfags that live in his head rent-free, mostly imagining them taking black cock

>>714652036now just think how deranged the person must be who tracks that guyโs activity every minute of every day and compiles a document on him

>>714652301i wish it were as simple as them both being as bad as one another but unfortunately one of them has a goal in mind of posting the same bland slop every day and circling around the same three topics over and over and he starts choking on his own throat if you disagree with him because that's a hard stop to the genericizing. it's the same deal as that GPT bot spam experiment with /pol/ where the college running it was trying to see just how much bot flooding on a model trained with /pol/ posts that they could get away with before the natives realized threads couldn't respond intelligently (by /pol/ standards) and they were looking at the same threads hundreds of times a day with only minor variations

He doesn't play FFXIV, you can tell because he doesn't have a single XIV-related reaction image. He wants to render any and all FFXIV discussion on /v/ impossible and this is just his latest tactic. He probably IS the folder-dumper.

So what kinda content should the devs make to make XIV better? honestly I don't think they'll ever change the current format, but I'm not sure what they could do with what they have without some major overhauls
>>714652552It probably doesn't even come from there. That would imply they actually watch footage of raids. They probably watch youtubers.

He's the most ardent white-knight of Dawntrail and cannot STAND when there's any threads dumping on it, so he goes out of his way to ruin them with his schizoposting, spamming his garbage and attacking any anon he sees saying anything negative about the game (while samefagging repeatedly) hoping one of the mresponds and engages him in a pointless argument that will go nowhere because he just wants to pick fights to derail the thread.
Mods genuinely need to Ip ban him at this point, he's been doing this for over a year now and clearly isn't going to stop.
>>714652905I bet you if Wuk Lamat had been a cute Miqote instead of a buff cat with the shoulders of a linebacker she'd have been less hated.

Every now and then I check out a XIV thread to see if the game is worth coming back to.
Apparently the answer is still no
Why are there so few good glamour options in this game? Especially at low levels. Especially on the free trial.
Has he done anything particularly funny recently or is he still just on the artbook larp

>>714653086Nothing will happen to him because he (Cocoli/Homestuck & Vizex) are confirmed jannies/mods or have mod protection at the very least. Multiple times over people have been banned for "avatarfagging" when they impersonate them, same goes for people who fuck with Homestuck, Cocoli has outright alluded to knowing when a specific anon got back from his ban. The very fact that, in the 2-3 years now that they've been avatarfagging literally every single thread every single day, they haven't been banned once (despite countless reports) shows somebody in the 4chan mod team is protecting them specificially, the question is WHY. Especially considering they're gigantic white-knights for this game and the mods HATE this game. So they should be the enemies of the mods, yet the mods shield them and ban people who fuck with them.
Why? Who the hell are they, why have they latched onto FFXIV threads on /v/ and literally camped them on a aily basis for YEARS without missing a single thread, and why are the mods letting them get away with blatantly violating board rules every single day they avatarpost?

>>714653298>Why is it always this lalafag and Vizex?They've been here since Febuary 2023 and just started camping these threads. Nobody knows why, but the longer they're here the mores suspicious things become about them. It's almost as if they're monitoring these threads......like a janitor would.
Is this a genuine fan made video or is it to chase the algorithm? yoshida is such a dickhead for saying that ff14 videos on youtube that were critical were nothing but algo chasers he's moved away so much from the man who presented that dev panel saying that a complaint was worth twice as much as praise or whatever the fuck he said

>>714653395Why don't you have any FFXIV-related reaction images, Homestuck? Why can't you post ANYTHING that proves you're even a fan of this game, let alone PLAY it? Why is it ALWAYS TF2, Simpsons, Homestuck, or some other western cartoon or tumblr shit from you?

>>714653428You are autistic
They are neurotic always-on-/v/ types live purely to cause chaos here to deride some sort of small satisfaction in their empty lives, it's the only real explanation why they never engage past the ragebait, because the facade would fall apart immediately. Not only are you autistic you're probably just dumb if you can't evade the janny's typical flyswatter, it's par for the course making threads here and it's been like that for years long before these annoying faggots have existed. You searching up one thing they copypasted back with Golbez schizobabble was a thing doesn't imply anything other than clear shitposting. Don't look like a faggot secondary more than you already are. Cocoli plays both sides. Literally. You can check the catalog if you REALLY wanted to, this guy loves to post his ancient gpose pictures after all.
This is the point where you go - bro, you know them by name? Let it go dude. It's hard not to absorb this shit via osmosis over the many years they've been present here uncontested. I've said constantly they're best ignored but you still take the bait even when they're clearly replying to their own shit to fake engagement. It's not like what you're implying isn't feasible considering what the 4chan hack brought to light but unless you did the concrete proofing yourself you just sound like a retarded schizophrenic like everyone else here
Your copypasta is stale but I know your personality isn't
>Clear hard content
>Your reward is materia you could also get from a 40 second hunt
Ff14 has THE worst rewards for clearing content. Other mmos reward you by giving you gear from killing the bosses on hard raid content
anyone else surprised by how people reacted to Sena Bryer? these days you'd expect pure positivity for 'stunning and brave' or whatnot, but no, XIV players were absolutely brutal in how much they fucking hated Wuk Lamat, Sena and their performance, hell the official XIV forums were being blatantly transphobic for a good while and Sena was bitching about lack of employment opportunities after
he got the Wuk role as a favor and it just backfired on him in the wildest way possible
>>714651896How'd you make this? I'd love to know!
>>714654215If what that other post said is true he was actually asked to prove his thinking on another site and couldn't.
>>714653428Because they disrupt the thread with their presence, they set other users off while also shitposting by themselves
Thats why they get to post here with impunity, because they shit up the threads
>>714654273FFXVI really just needed more RPG elements and a combat system that didn't rely on MMO style cooldowns
seriously, when Bad Breath only deals damage because you have no negative status ailments, you know you fucked up
>>714654273B-but /v/ said that square enix releasing games on ps5 first is killing sales?
>>714653786I watched the video and the guy didn't even address the MSQ. These faggots are so afraid of admitting what killed Dawntrail for casuals in case it upsets God King YoshiP. Fuck sake, nothing will change unless the problem is faced head on.
>>714653572When will the last part of Hildibrand be added so I can finally do all of it?
>>714654451Wuk Lamat's an argumentative dead end given that Dawntrail is ending next patch and it's on to next expansion build-up
>>714634124None of these help out the fact the game isn't a good RPG or a good Final Fantasy.
In fact it's so bad that they will fall into the same problem = people will get bored of the game because there is no progression.
>>714654497They better kick her out
>>714654215And as an addendum to this post, I am on a soapbox here and nothing more
there is no god here, solace does not exist on 4chan because it's purely present to collect the ad revenue and probably keeping tabs on actual bad actors, hiroshimoot absolutely does not have a soul
The best thing you get out of this place is to just embrace the garbage and take solace in whatever crumbs of discussion you muster from ff14 even when it doesn't have much to do. it's already bad enough people lie here about playing it extensively but there's some weird correlation with anons being latched onto things for months and months to speak negatively about it (regardless if it's true or not - obviously dawntrail is complete ass). i think there may have been a point where this website is better and I'm not gonna tell people to go to other places because the 4chan speed cannot be replicated and we're all here forever
But please I beg you man the talking point is just tired out they're not gonna leave, why is it so hard to just let these people shout at clouds to radio silence and eventually disappear? it's like an intent desire to poke the retard modern anons on /v/ cannot help it for the life of them
I blame the extent of free access to the internet
>>714654497If they don't kill her off or permanently sit her on the Turali throne never to be heard of again, if they don't do that with her then fuck the backlash is going to be pretty big against the game with remaining MSQ enjoyers. She needs to go.
>>714654212Why did this man decide to become a reverse Midas and turn everything he touches into shit?
>>714654539She'll just stay behind in Tural like everybody figured she would a year ago if they weren't busy putting out hit pieces and think pieces. Hell 7.0 ends on her heavily implying she's not leaving the continent with her self defeating offer for you to remain permanently
I dunno how anybody kept talking about her after 7.0, she resolved herself by its end. I wonder if people just skipped the ending cutscenes and didn't catch it
>>714654558Yoshi-P really fucked over Squenix with that comment. They released OT2, which is one of the best turn based rpgs in years, he made it seemed like squenix hasnโt made a turn based rpg since ff10
>>714654304>>714654571the truth is far more mundane than people's fantasies
>>714654627she is getting lyse'd hard with less chance that you'll ever need to see her again unless they actually decide to do something interesting with tural later
>>714654698I think its just fear that she's going to be a new Scion. She got so much screen-time in DT it felt like she was a new main character.
>>714654698I donโt get why Wuk still being used. I think Lyse barely got screentime after 4.0

The only ones and who STILL support Sena are the Grinding Gear's faggots, who even stream WoW with him and that one vtuber Girl_DM. No idea why, it's not like Sena has any clout to chase and he's been axed from Square Enix. But the Grinding Gears fags seem to want to die on the hill of defending Dawntrail, Wuk Lamat and even Sena.

>>714654818Its unfortunate, Stranger of Paradise showed how fun a job system in an action game can be, I think if FFXVI leaned into that, it could have been something actually really fun, but it needed to be an RPG first, action game second
even the FF7 Remakes feel more fun to play because there's actual builds, status effects, playstyles and systems that aren't just cooldowns
>>714654698to be fair I did skip every cutscene smile started playing during, I wouldn't be surprised if most of the deranged posters also did
>>714654873There was a lot of sharting way back about that Square Enix statement of suing the living shit out of you if you harass the company, mostly because SEGA won their own lawsuit about getting harassed and the whole KyoAni debacle. I imagine they don't complain about Kate or anybody else in official capacity because they're easily picked out as a lunatic.
>>714654943SoP wasn't developed in house
If they do follow up on XVI (or at least just make a FF that plays like KH god willing because 7R games are complete ass to play) I wouldn't be surprised if they outsource more system design rather than just boss fights
>>714654952I'd be surprised if any of the deranged posters even watched cutscenes on Youtube
>>714654698With 7.2 Wuk was constantly side-lined in cut-scenes. I wonder if that was planned from the beginning or was that due to the reaction to 7.0.

>>714653913Not to mention she's suddenly the main character of a completely shit story.
>Pre-expansion: Oh boy, we're going to go to a new continent and explore it, how exciting!>The story we actually got: "Let's help this retard become the reigning monarch of her country by carrying her through the trials she's meant to overcome, all the while never questioning or teaching her. Then afterwards when she's the ruler, let's just not argue with her when she insists she still wants to go on dangerous missions with us, despite the almost certainly monumental amount of work she should be piled under after taking control of the country following the previous ruler's assassination.It's like whoever wrote it had a 5-year old's understanding of politics. It was so fucking bad and stupid.
>>714655090Oh also that's very old data lol newest chart is dated to May 25th. Dumpy's pissed and bringing out very old data
Do note also this is a population trend graph and therefore doesn't have the whole picture either, it's not a hard population count, you can tell because it only goes up to 400k on the left. LuckyBancho does those separately
>>714655171DT is literally hiroi attempting to "reference" FFIX in the most retarded way that caps off with literally labelling everything from the game directly but barely touches the themes of the game even in the way it tries to subvert them
>>714654698>>714654796>>714654906>>714654909It was plainly obvious they had long-term plans for Wuk. You don't just give one character 90% of the lines in a single expansion (and so many lines she's now the third most-spoke character in the ENTIRE game since ARR despite only showing up in this one expansion), give her a name that literally means "Seventh Dawn"(like the Scions of the Seventh Dawn", if you don't intend big future things for her. If Wuk Lamat was actually well recieved, you can bet your ass she was going to be kept around. i actually genuinely believe she was meant to be the new WOL to replace us for the next 10 year story arc, that the plan was to have a retreat of ARR to EW but with Wuk Lamat in our place and us as her "mentor" (by mentor I mean sitting in the fuck chair being Wuk's camera-man).
The only reason you're going "THEY OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GONNA SHELF HER AFTER THE MSQ BRO" is because you know how much backlash she's gotten. You faggots have been moving the goalpost on when she's gonna be gone since 7.0, and then try to gaslight when she still ends up being around the following patch as if you never said she wouldn't/ They had MASSIVE plans for this character, and it seems like they're finally backpeddling hard. But 7.3 is their last chance to axe her for good, if Wuk is STILL around in 7.4 (or worse has been made a Scion officially, and especially if they kill off real Sphene who everyone loves) than holy fuck the backlash is going to be biblical. Like it will actually unironically kill the game, only people left will be the hardcore raid trannies and the modbeast Second Life crowd.
>>714641224it took me nearly two weeks to get through dawntrail when it took me about three days to go through endwalker
genuinely repulsive expansion that could have maybe been saved if they didn't take two fucking years to release not-bojza
>>714655070I actually really like FF7Rs combat system for the most part, it actually feels like a well thought out and realized blend of action and turn based with its ATB system, so you play it like an action game, but your ATB charges are used like how you'd use them in a turn based style, the slowdown when selecting moves is also a nice touch
7r also has actual RPG mechanics and a party system, each party member feels unique, has their own strengths/weaknesses and has a handful of build options that are actually good and fun to use, not to mention a lot of fights that actually require you to think about what you're doing, especially the VR/Coliseum fights
I liked SoP a lot, wasn't a big fan of all its systems, but the job system and being able to switch jobs seamlessly was a ton of fun and encouraged experimenting with them
>>714655330I actually unironically believe they had tons of Wuk Lamat merch pre-made (figures, plushies, shirts, drinking cups, etc.) and were banking on her planned popularity to sell it, and the reason Yoshi said he wants to keep pushing her to make us like her is because they REALLY need to sell of that fucking merch or else it was a wasted investment, and will end up in a ditch in the Nevada desert alongside E.T.

>>714655472Knowing how SE operates there is 100% no chance this happened. It took them almost 10 years to finally make figures for the twins that were central characters in the story, and even then they went up for pre purchase almost a whole year before they would even be available.
my god, the retard is still malding isn't he? He can't stop. He just keeps cycling while pretending he isn't obvious. I have spent my day playing games and he's been here having a grumpy folder dumpy over XIV.

>>714655330dude if she's still around for another fucking year it will 100% kill the game
even then the damage is done, i know multiple people who used to play this game daily since 1.0 who dropped it because this expansion gave them nothing to chew on
fuck, most of the modders are now trying to move on to "greener" pastures like vrchat and secondlife
i'm honestly impressed they somehow managed to make something worse than 6.x, otherwise known as ffivslop the patch cycle
>>714655636The MSQ would have been so much worse if there weren't at least some familiar Scion faces in it. The really sad part is that Estinien, Thancred, Urianger and Y'shtola all seemingly had a better time than us who had to literally wrangle the kids through all of it.
>>714640908People did show up for Dawntrail on day 1 but the expansion hasn't recovered from the MSQ failing to hook players. I'm willing to be that when 8.0 gets its first trailer there are going to be a lot of people saying they still haven't even finished the 7.0 MSQ.
>>714655636Retiring a scion? We've got merch to sell, bitch.

>>714656430I'll only be happy if they kill her off. Which they won't.
>>714654718Well they haven't made a high budget turn based RPG in a long time.
>>714656118he should be grateful there hasnt been a mad fan trying to burn their office with them inside.
I always played with pretty much default settings with regards to UI but I want to raidfag a bit more seriously in the future. I thought of making shit smaller and pushing it to the corners/edges, but looking at Ultimate vids I've also seen stuff more centered often enough.
Do these things boil down to preference or is there a reason why I would want something like my party list halfway to the center instead of in the corner or something?
>>714656583no time like the present, be the change you want to see
>>714645614Surely that must he a mistranslation
Overbearing?
You hit a button and wait to get in like every single other instance
>>714656594>is there a reason why I would want something like my party list halfway to the centerYeah if you play a healer and need it to be more easily accessible.
>>714656656I'm a controllerfag
>>714655330>It was plainly obvious they had long-term plans for Wuk.

They tried to double down with her in 7.1 but there is no 'saving' her, she's complete poison as a character to the player base.

>job quests all were cut and left with big gaping hanging threads in favor of soulless role quests for 3 whole expacs now
>PCT outrageously overpowered
>everything is designed around 2 minute rotations so fight designers can be lazy when planning out mechanics
>>714656467It's what most Y'shtola worshippers want. Never stop having her be "me like book hmmm me read book" and explain the plot every now and again so that those people can just infer that she's some horny fertility statue mommy.
>>714656873Then there's no real reason to have it centered. Usually people center important cooldowns and boss health so their eyes aren't darting over the screen, but it's all preference.
>>714656313I did finish 7.0 but still haven't bothered with patch MSQ, have been very slowly cleaning up more old content left undone though my motivation for that is waning. First time since HW or SB days I haven't given it my all to be caught up, and then it was more because I was a scattered newfag.
Is there any hope for 7.3 (MSQ) to be alright? I got the impression 7.2 wasn't that bad from seeing shit in passing but I dunno.
>>714656873Well the idea is rather simple.
Split the screen into a circle and 2 rings.
Keep the area around your character clear so you can see where you're stood and what's going on immediately around you clearly. At most you might want the buffs/debuffs from mechanics in this.
Anything important to know, used often etc. in the first ring. Hotbars, party list, focus target, enemy cast bars, job gauge, whatever. It's up to you.
Push everything else out to the edge if it cannot be culled completely.
Mess around with it, blend the edges of rings etc. with how important you think it is until you're comfortable with it all.

>What if we took a beast tribe questline and made it the whole story
>and then they stuck around and wanted to be involved in the real plot
>>714657502I would have liked Deftarm as a Scion.
>>714644863because no one actually does FATEs because theres other things you can do, mobile just expanded on the FATEs because ARR genuinely has fuck all to do and they needed to throw in some grind thats easy to pick up and do in 10 min, adding it to the main game would genuinely be a waste of resources.
>>714657574Nobody does FATEs because the only reason to do them is a grind so autistic that you have to hate yourself to even consider starting it.
>>714657630FATEs are pretty good for leveling as a tank. At least they would be if your dungeon queues didn't pop instantly.

Manner.
AN ENTIRE GENERAL BTFO BY ONE MAN
FOREVER
>>7146580084chan is getting more and more deranged. Between this, the Tammy Chang spammer and all the other autists, people lose their sanity in record numbers.
>>714658181it's almost like life is getting really bad
>>714657630exactly, they're just there as an mmo checklist and the main game doesn't need more of it, no one is gonna go "HELL YEAH!" if in the 8.0 live letter they went "we've added mobiles fate system" not to mention it wouldn't be retroactive so it would just be the 8.0 zones
>>714655330I still say that 6.55 Wuk is a legitimately different person from 7.0 onwards Wuk
>6.55 she has hunting and tracking experience, and clearly been outside the city for extended periods of time since she mentions the Aetherfront reminds her of the mountains of Tural>7.0 sheโs seemingly never been outside the main city besides the tiniest excursions when she was younger, if thatLike I legit wonder how she wouldโve been received if she had kept the 6.55 characterization instead
>>714658703still having the basis of even going to tural to help her was a lie. zoraal ja had no ships.
it should have just been weapon of lighting for krile in tural and you help these savages once in a while.
>>714655330Wuk Lamat is the anchor being
>>714653845No. Nobody gives a fuck unless you're obnoxious spouting /pol/ memes in say chat.
>>714654873>complaint on the forums>emailTo fucking who? If you think SE reads the community forums you're dumb as fuck. They are full of flame wars and trolling, they barely even have jannies over there.
>>714656834That last part is key. I also believe 7.0 itself only intensified that poison. For over a decade you cultivated a fanbase that loves THEIR character in the spotlight being a hero. Wuk stole all of that which okay, in the first half of 7.0 that was kinda understandable. The real insult came after we helped her achieve her goal, our job was done. It was our turn and the game even baited us into thinking it was our turn to do what we do with Shaaloani...and then it happened. There she was again, front and center.
That part really destroyed Wuk forever in my view. At least for me. I felt completely demoralized when that happened after getting a second wind so to speak with Dawntrail once me and Erenville set off without her.
>>714656583That will only happen if they turn Dragon Quest 12 into edgy action slop.
>>714659431erenville and his mom were shit too. WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE BLUE MAGES?
>>714660127In the Fishing quest.
>>714660127One of them was locked in the crafting/gathering collection quests. We never actually got to see his village of course.
>>714660127Written out of Shaaloani.
