the game has been directx11 since 2015.

if they want a major graphics update, they need directx12 or vulkan.

did they ever fix the engine to have real AA

>>714788451 (OP)
you know XIV is still great because the schizo is spamming threads 24/7 trying to convince people otherwise

>>714788768
it has TAA now instead of FXAA. optiscaler can of course replace it with anything you want. DLSS4,FSR4,XESS2,you name it.

DLSS at least you can replace some files and get the better/more recent versions of it regardless of the game's own implementation as I recall.

uh... tranny bros... the luckybancho chart?...

>>714789187
Nah FFXIV uses DLSS 2.7. Yes its old but you can replace DLSS2 games.

I've nearly finished the Mamool Ja beast tribe. It's a lot better than the PeluPelu by far, and funnily enough even did Wuk's entire 'friendship through tacos' better than Wuk. I can't imagine the writer is the same for both DT beast tribes, but is there any confirmation on that?

Sorry sisters, but Square Enix's board has decided that having 4chan shills on a payroll isn't cost-effective anymore, so your position and pay is being terminated. Time to find a real job.

>>714789498
Why are you lying? They literally said it CAN'T use 2.0 because game's engine doesn't have movement vectors.

>>714790174
The game uses DLSS inputs for FSR. That wouldn't work unless its DLSS2+. DLSS1 is not compatible with FSR inputs.

I think the PeluPelu had a pretty easy issue to go off of, and that's the commercialization of culture due to tourism. Having the plot go something like

>Tourists start coming in
>Group of Vanu bring up an issue when some tourists are seen making a mockery of cultural tradition or paying to be made center of the festival
>Work towards shifting the type of tourism from exotic spectacle to educational aspects

I wanna say some minor text actually brings that kind of worry up so you can brush it off or take note of it or whatever to say they're definitely doing it right. I remember specifically being bothered by it only because it was coming for a bird priest and the birds all strike me as dumbasses so it didn't really seem like the kinda worry they'd be smart enough to have. Bit of a cop out really, though.
Otherwise I'd agree that the Mamool ja dailies were done better, though I still found myself bored. But also it hasn't left me with any 'hanging issues' where I'm asking "So we're gonna do the thing now, right?" like the pelu tribe.

>>714793989
both
job gauges were a mistake and have only fueled the homogenisation
They also took player attention away from the buffs/debuffs for a gain of "looks cool"

>>714796540
Would this world see additional restrictions like no no cash shop items or no auction house, or would it just be staying in character?

As an ultimate player I still have to look at debuffs all the time. But I have noticed that despite being a former SMN player whenever I do healer for roulettes I keep forgetting to watch my DoTs. I'm just so unused to looking at them anymore.

The duration of them and only having one is partly at fault for that. Happens to me all the time since we;re spamming one key for the most part.
If you remember the game pre-job gauges, we'd have all of that shit as stacks etc. in our buffs/debuffs.
Just from a player attention standpoint, it's bad design for splitting that focus for no reason. There's no reason why they couldn't still track gauge shit on buffs/debuffs again.
I also lose track of DRK's job gauge because it's so meaningless, now that we don't need to track and save for Living Shadow, outside of minor optimisation that happens so infrequently it's kinda comical.

>If you remember the game pre-job gauges, we'd have all of that shit as stacks etc. in our buffs/debuffs.
Yeah I played MNK originally and I was trained to watch my GL stacks like a hawk. And some jobs actually do still check buffs. I play PCT now and I check my buffs pretty frequently to double check how many hyperfantasia or black palette stacks I have left. Maybe because I'm used to doing it from back then, but it's much easier to just check my buffs instead of trying to decipher how many flowers are in my landscape. But yeah then there are plenty of jobs where you can't even check buffs anymore. There's not a lot of consistency.
>now that we don't need to track and save for Living Shadow

What did FFXIV mean by this?

It’s a shame people couldn’t read the room and didn’t unsub during Endwalker, which was already on a downward trend. You had the main story with garlamald and Ascians wrapped up and content rapidly being removed or neglected. Now the boat is sinking, the crew is panicking, yet the people still playing say it’s better than ever

>>714788451 (OP)
im not sure which one supposed to look better

>ruin the lighting
XIV had some of the most dogshit lighting in video games. Say what you will about the visual update but the lighting was dramatically improved.

>>714798674
I’m an oldfag with fairly bad eyesight. Unless there is substantial improvement I frankly can’t see significant difference with most HD Remaster stuff

>>714798198
>Yeah I played MNK originally and I was trained to watch my GL stacks like a hawk
Oh please, GL was the least of things to track on MNK. It was always can I get another 123 out before I need to refresh ToD/Demo/Twin/DK and if they're all good, did I refresh ToD last round so I can Fracture. And then there's the tracking for a clean damage PB into refreshes if it's going spare.
Later TK bullshit was simple af compared to it too.

But no, my entire point isn't that there's never a need to track buffs/debuffs, your or bosses, but that gauge has just become competition for your focus and the only benefit of that split is "looks cool". But the because gauge, everybody must have gauge, so we end up with shit like the Fairy gauge and a focus on build/spend etc.
The only good build/spend mechanics they ever came up with are TK (original and riddle versions) and the original Geirskogul

GL timing was very tight in ARR and you needed to monitor it for all the reasons you listed yourself.
>but that gauge has just become competition for your focus and the only benefit of that split is "looks cool".
I think the actual purpose is supposed to be so you're not trying to parse through all 30 of your buffs/debuffs to find the relevant ones. But in practice they've just replaced all that with fight-specific buffs/debuffs you have to track anyway.

It's so baffling how much they're catering to a niche audience with content like Chaotic Alliance Raids, Forked Tower and Deep Dungeons when the bulk of their playerbase doesn't interact with that stuff.

>>714800242
They literally think wasting the players' time is fun

is there some way to make the game look better? it's pretty fucking shit, likely cause mmos are meant to run on thirdie potatoes, but I have a lot of spare compute

>>714800242
a way to make easy content punishing

>>714800242
My guess would be an alternative to strict enrage timers but I haven't done FT or looked up anything about the fights yet, so I dunno if they enrage or not. Alternatively because ressing was generally harder in the older MMOs they try to emulate with stuff like this.

You really didn't. It boiled down to 4 GCDs tops because of the other things while GL would fit 5, 6 depending on SkS and haste (Fey Glow/Light/Wind, Arrow) buffs. 5 was perma Fracture territory which was bad for TP reasons but would also guarantee one of the others would drop or you over clip Demo to compensate which was awful.
Forced disengage time is fight specific and for the most part you were either screwed or you weren't or you planned PBs around it and you almost always had Shoulder Tackle because it had a min. range req. MOst of the aoes you have more than enough time to hit the GCD, dodge out and be back before the next for it to be any worry.
GL was the most important, but it was the least to worry about.

There are a few explanations, but all of them would just be shots in the dark. Limited raises do have a purpose, but there's no way to know if those reasons were what they were trying to do.

>But in practice they've just replaced all that with fight-specific buffs/debuffs you have to track anyway.
Probably should've addressed this but MNK rant is MNK rant.
This is part of the issue and it's schizophrenic (design team change), the first was "functional", then your focus was split away from this for "form" and now they're left with little else to do for mechanics other than return focus to that area that they've previously split your focus away from.
Something functional got hit with the "form over function" mentality and they're left with the need to return to function but previous form is actually in the way now.

I guess you and I just track things differently because for me flicking my eyes between my DoTs and my GL buff was how I tracked what I could do. I also remember times like in T1 where I'd delay my coeurl GCD so I could hit Arm of the Destroyer's silence on ADS since we didn't have a BRD for High Voltage, and I had to make sure I didn't delay it too long and fuck everything. Or in A12S making sure to maintain it going into the time warps.
>>714801587
Job gauges are just one of the things that need a total rework as part of the 8.0 job changes (if they even manifest). You have RDM making perfect use of the concept but then you look at WAR, DRK, SMN, or SCH and you have to think what the fuck is the point?

Deep Dungeon, more than anything. Outlook is grim from our first foray into that content being underfunded. If they drop the ball on the deep dungeon I don't see myself giving the game another try until next expansion after waiting a while to see if it's even worthwhile in the first place.

>>714802170
>I could hit Arm of the Destroyer's silence on ADS since we didn't have a BRD for High Voltage
But you're only talking about hyper-niche bullshit with those. I did the ADS thing too but that was because of an unreliable PLD, I was also doing it manually with Selene because pet AI was awesome before tehy fucke it up in 2.1. You could do the same kinda thing in Titan to maintain GL through the transition after killing the heart, it basically had to be your Demo that killed it for the delayed refresh giving JUST enough time to get a full 123 after it's targettable again. And even that took absurd amounts of SkS (Det/SkS best build, back when Det was a real stat).
There's always things you can do for a fight but that's not the baseline of it.
It might be because I've fucked around with every level of SkS imaginable back then that, outside of extremely high values and trying to see if it can fit more with it, it was whatever in the grand scheme.
