Regular thread spammerr'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

Holy shit you are actually stalking the catalog for any new xiv threads to drop your schizo doc, ive been playing Vidya all day and youre STILL here within minutes of a new thread appearing. Get actual help bro.

>>715031354
Mods might legitimately need to whip out a rangeban to be rid of him

>>715031784
He is here all day because he's the janny and it's his literal job to camp the catalog all day. He's trying to shit up any XIV thread that gets made with his schizoposting to derail them into oblivion. He goes to sleep in 4 hours just an FYI

>>715031965
bwo it's insanely obvious you're trying to co-opt the heckin doccy yourself, just... stop, it's embarrassing to watch something so harebrained. you introduced misspellings into a post you copied and pasted.

>>715031929
Yeah google doc schizo needs to get a rangeban and get help for his obsessive behavior. Camping an imageboard 16 hours straight isn't normal or healthy behavior

>>715032020
I am the guy that made it. I can't post it? The guy is still spamming. I still update it.

That was a FAST autosage

>>715032082
You're welcome

>>715032020
Nobody cares, Homestuck. We're talking about FFXIV here, if you don't like this thread you're free to post in a different one, or make your own. Offtopic posting to detail a thread is a bannable offense byw

No, actually, I will not get cross-baited into reporting a Google doc just because the spammer is trying to skinwalk with it. It is a thoroughly stupid misdirection that not even a child would fall for.
>>715032082
It seems he was saging his own thread. Strange lad.

>>715032139
Why are you saying thank you as if you're the one who autosaged it? Are you the janny?

>>715032228
this is good bait big funni

>>715031645
All of these are because of bad writing, there's no need to specify it with Gulool Ja Ja.
>Zoraal Ja
Writers couldn't decide on a motivation, so there are a bunch of weird areas, ultimately making his entire existence nothing more than a prop.
>Koana
Only exists as a plot device
>Wuk the mutt
The worst offender, because the naive princess archetype is kino, but only when they let disaster strike due to the princesses naive world view.
It's a shame, because Zoraal Ja and Wuk could have been kino if a better writer had them.

>>715032228
Homestuck for you have even ONE ffxiv related image on your computer? Why do you NEVER use any XIV related reaction images?

>>715032071
Shut up Homestuck your pic isn't FFXIV related.

>>715032228

>>715031309
>shadowbringers MSQ was fucking overrated
That was Endwalker actually and Dawntrail blows it out of the fucking water in comparison.

another xiv general raped

If Homestuck hates doomer threads do much why dies he simply not post in them or just make a non doomer thread? Why does he feel the need yo spend his every waking hour fighting the evil doomers? He does this 16 hours a day without rest, trying to prove there is this conspiracy to besmirch Dawntrail by a singular person. Just give up, nobody I'd being convinced. I'm actually concerned for your mental health at this point, little buddy.

> shadowbringers MSQ was fucking overrated
You're entitled to your opinion but to me Shadowbringers is still peak.

Searching for posts with the image hash ‘f6VTO2Tgpkr06fX4dYaXEQ==’. 2 results found.

It feels like something is breaking down on his end.

I'm just thankful the upcoming patch is the final one for Dawntrail and 7.4 and 7.5 are already confirmed to be setup for 8..0. The sooner we can bury this shitheap the better.

>>715032528
He literally comes from xivg. Yesterday there was a xivg style thread up filled with avatarfags jerking eachother off to their modbeasts and Homestuck was present, patrolling the thread for his boogeyman, never objecting to the xivg tier degenerate going on, nor the total lack of game discussion.

When I and others finally found the thread Homestuck and the xivg avatartrannies got VERY upset, acting like we had ruined their little orgy by talking about the game. Homestuck actively DEFENDED them. That told me everything I needed to know, Homestuck is some xivg outsider who is also a gigantic whiteknight who thinks the ideal XIV thread is one indistinguishable from a typical xivg general thread, where nobody can talk ket alone criticize the game as any and all discussion is drowned out by avatarfags ERPing with eachother. I suspect he comes from some xivg Discord and he and his tranny pals come to these threads to raid them to turn them into their ERP fests (in part to driwn out criticism of Dawntrail, which one of them admitted to doing before), and if that fails just completely derail it with schizoposting. I saw the same forced GOOGLE DOCCY posting over on xivg recently. All of this shit is 100% originating from that tranny shithole.

I think he's having difficulty evading bans on his main device and he's forced to use his phone right now. The misspellings and low response time.

>>715031309
shadowbringers has the longest continuous string of filler in the MSQ since the start of ARR

>>715033090
What did you do in FFXIV today?

>>715033260
DUMPED MY FOLDER, GOT BANNED, GOT MY THREAD KILLED.

>>715033260
rather than ask what you did today, how about 'what have you done in the past?'

>>715033316
With the apparent posting difficulties, could you imagine if he actually did get rangebanned and he's forced to phonepost from now on?

>>715033375
If you've no interest in discussing the subject of this thread, which is Dawntrail being bad, why don't you find some other thread better suited to your interests? Might I recommend you /xivg/?

They need to do something with Krile at this point or else she is done for good. I stan Y'shtola and I firmly believe that they will make her lead in 8.x because DT was such a shitshow that they need to do something like that.
However, if they really leave Krile the way shit is right now she is the worst character ever and an absolutely worthless postergirl for an expansion. I had hoped she gets to star in Occult, but that is Kanisteram, so I have no idea what they intend to do with her.

>>715033751
>>715033658
aaaand the third horseman is here, the Y'shtola hater dredging up old posts

Gentleman, we have the full exodia going in this thread.

Why doesn't Homestuck ever talk about the game? Why does he only come to these threads to obsess over his personal boogeyman? And why doesn't he ever use any FFXIV related reaction images? He seems to be FFXIV's biggest fan, always defending it from criticism, but he never posts any FFXIV related reaction images. He seems to have a lot of reaction images saved, but they're NEVER related to FFXIV. Why is that?

>>715033824
There's a ~1m delay between posts, so I think it's more he's flipping between personalities like a retarded Cerberus than it is they're separate posters.

>thread is literally just /xivg/ schizos shitposting at each other

When is LL part 2
I used to read yoshida game news articles or interviews but nowadays I just scroll past them since dawntrail because I'm embarrassed to even read them

>>715033924
I'd take 40 hours of fetching Tataru more shekels over Dawntrail

>>715033824
What did you do in FFXIV today? Level any new jobs, like Dragoon? It's my favorite job aesthetically, but i don't much care for the gameplay, especially not after the changes it went through in Dawntrail.

>>715033960
LL part 2 takes place a little over a week before the patch hits (usually 10 days or so). So it'll be at the end of July.

>>715033960
7/25 which is 3 fridays from now. expect a trailer for the patch, expanded information and possibly an unannounced piece of content.

possibly

WoL + Y'shtola and a whole new cast in another shard for 8.0. Do a timeskip after they return in 8.3 and figure out what to do with the rest of the cast until then. She will not tolerate anyone but WoL in the next adventure.

>https://www.videogamer.com/news/yoship-admits-brutal-final-fantasy-14-raid-was-a-misstep-in-development-as-the-team-made-it-too-difficult-for-players-to-even-get-into/
>“I do feel that Forked Tower: Blood was a misstep in development,” the FF14 director and producer said. “It wasn’t meant to be hardcore content, so to speak. The intention was that it might be more difficult at first, but over time more players might be willing to take on the challenge; yet, in the end we made it too difficult for players to even get into the raid in the first place.”
How does this always happen? Same shit with Criterion and Chaotic, whoever is responsible for tuning these fights needs to be stopped by Yoshida.

>>715033903

is it really a case of lets give these voice actors some work then have them fuck off?

Yeah, same as every other expac that's not Shadowbringers and Endwalker where they all featured pretty prominently, save Estinien in ShB.

I mean I could post Krile but I've been feeling blackpilled about XIV in general for the past year or so and I never thought I'd get here after how many ups and downs I've been through with this game.

>>715034436
Post good waifus for a change

>>715034214
7.2 is worth going for. as for 7.1, once you go to shaaolani you can safely skip cutscenes. start paying attention again when you return to solution 9

>>715034489
>start paying attention again when you return to solution 9
nothing in s9 is worth paying attention to, it is the worst content in dt

>>715034456
I'm not looking for your approval fag

i miss her bros

Y'shtola, the character square constantly sidelines, had more screen time than her. She also had more screen time than Krile idk why they are dunking so hard on the tater tot.

>>715034549
Only mine matters

>>715034549
I'm sure you aren't
Stay unsubbed faggot

>>715034565
Unironically my character went down to the Mothercrystal to see if he could get a quick shag in before moving to the end of the universe, but then she wanted a fight instead and it got all awkward.

>>715034567
oh please, Krile was woke lamutt before woke lamutt, extremely boring and forced character

I see this all the time in Final Fantasy 14 threads, some retard spamming his heart out keeps deferring to the Japanese reception of the latest expansion like I'm supposed to be impressed Kensuke and Tatsuya are also fucking retards 1000 miles away from me in a squigglier language

>>715034646
I am still subbed though, against my better judgement.

>>715034567
Honestly the Krile hate train is one of the strangest phenomena in the fandom. She’s barely even given a chance to do something, shows up for a couple cutscenes, then disappears again-then people act like she personally ruined the expansion. Meanwhile Y’shtola gets the screen time and cool lines but forgets half of them three patches later lmao. At least tater tot tries.

>>715034727
I was wondering why this post seemed familiar to me, I wrote it. Get your own posts, phone boy.

>>715034543
i humbly disagree. solution 9 is the only interesting thing about dawntrail

>>715034898
Krile was a complete bitch towards the player character in DT. If you talk to her between cutscenes she is constantly bitching at the WoL for not supporting Wuk enough.
Same with Alisaie.

>>715034670
should've done the fight then shagged before she disappated

>>715034994
That's more Hiroi being ghoulish than Krile's fault if true (I didn't bother reading anything but the absolute bare minimum in DT)

>>715034898
They've been forcing her in trials and other side content since HW nigger, she's a literal blank state of a character, DT made her a super spushul mary sue from another shard, people only pretend to like her because she's a lala

>>715035024
Well yeah but all the other Scions were standing there and it would've been real awkward and they'd know what I was doing if I asked them to turn around for twenty minutes and cover their ears.

>>715034009
I appreciate the blackup while I was occupied, fellow artbook appreciator!
>>715034898
I've never seen anyone hate on Krile for Dawntrail. How could anyone hate her for anything? She gets constantly shit on and cucked out of her own plotlines.

Ah yes, the smell of schizos crashing out in the morning. XIV threads are a boon.

>>715035163
Every waifu gets hate by bitter faggots. You get used to it.

>>715035152

>>715035242
And the vast majority of it is spend brainless cheering for Wuk like everyone else in this expansion. None of it means anything. If anything characters that didn't get screen time in this shitheap of an expansion are the ones that won.

What about dorky badass? As in, a lalafell trying to be badass and failing at it? Would that be deserving of headpats?
How can you possibly make fun of tendies while posting cringy retarded shit like this

>>715035242
Krile's screentime is spent getting cucked out of her own story. Like when the special key left to her by her parents has to be handed to Gulool Ja to open the door, or when she tells us about how she learned about Galuf's journey off-screen while we were with Wuk Lamat. The way they handled her honestly feels malicious.

Y'shtola is waifu
Y'shtola is laifu
And it is way to early to be posting on a Tibetan basket weaving forum.
god I wish. It wouldn't even be a contest, my WoL would date Y'shtola so hard and gently breed her while holding her hands.

>>715035374
>artbook spammer is a lalafag
Who would have thought

>>715035419
I play a Midlander, actually! What do you play?

>>715035338
it's like Krile has no character trait beside being a bootleg Ysthola with echo

>>715035524
Its a pretty close race in what is more inconsistent, Y'shtola's blindness or Krile's empathy.

>>715035524
Dunno why you're trying to force this bullshit with Yshtola but I'm not biting that bait faggot. Go try to force you meme "rivalry" somewhere else.

>>715035419
>>715035512
you like lalafells, don't you artbook-kun

>>715035562
krile's empathic power would have to come up more than once every ten real-world years for it to be inconsistent

>>715035624
You could say that.

>>715035625
if she can call out zooral ja as big bad 5 minutes into DT, she should have been able to call out Sphene 1.0 being incredibly conflicted or -if shale truly is calyx- shale being suss as hell

>>715035818
If Shale is really Calyx then we can laugh at another Hiroi masterpiece, but for the next month Krile's integrity still has one less notch in it.

>>715035818
yeah, her not calling out sphene was kinda strange. either she couldn't read sphene's emotions because she's not technically alive (which she then would have been able to call her out on) or she isn't using her powers intentionally, which is really dumb on her part. almost Deanna Troi tier

where do you guys afk bros. you dont go to limsa do you?

>>715035967
Eh, Echo powers are shown to not always be something the users can tap into at will. That's not necessarily her fault.

>>715035818
Having an empath in your narrative is incredibly dangerous, since any social secrecy would be solved instantly. I have no idea why they decided to give Krile that power, but it is incredibly shitty for a writer to work with it, unless you outright ignore it unless convenient.

>>715036064
maybe she's just really good at reading body language and says its part of her echo so people are less troublesome when dealing with her

>>715033902
Got the rest of this image?

>>715035972
My house but its being destroyed soon

>>715035967
Krile's powers don't even have to be activated, it's always going. So yeah whether Sphene has readable emotions or not, she should have noticed something was up.
>>715036064
Krile's empath powers caused her a lot of grief in her school days because she couldn't turn them off. That's also why Fordola also can't turn it off, because she has a copy of Krile's Echo.
>>715036123
FFXI briefly made the player character an empath and solved the secrecy issue by making Tenzen a gigachad who could block out his own thoughts. They gave Krile that power because in FFV she had a similar power to hear the thoughts of animals.

>>715036290
what are the chances the writer(s) didn't do their homework concerning Krile?

>>715036542
Considering how low effort DT is in general I'd say fairly high

Did PCT turn out the way you envisioned, anon?

>>715036641
its a pretty fun class to play, the animations are top notch. why its relm building up eiko charges i don't know

If patterns hold we're due a tank next expansion what's it gonna be

>>715036641
they ruined it in 7.2

>>715036641
Turned out much better than I ever hoped. I love PCT.

>>715036769
I really hope we don't get any new jobs next expansion and they work on redoing all the existing ones instead.

>>715036769
>reimagined classic class
>class based off an FF character

whatever it will be, the tank class will probably use a sword

>>715036817
Well keep dreaming buddy new jobs is pretty much the biggest selling point of these expansions.

>>715036641
second attempt on the developers at making sage after elevating red mage to the point of casting flare and holy
pictomancer has systems laid out for future applications like specifying weapon and summon motif slots but it doesn't seem like they actually have any possibilities in mind for the future unless those are leading in for specs or cosmetic skill choices
pretty bland weaponry as a result of it being a paintbrush
relm is an insanely boring choice hence the job is mostly eiko in practice

OC managed to last longer than Anemos did, even with the controversy

as to why the controversy existed when its been 7 years since anemos i don't know

>>715037057
debateably occult crescent is doing better than eureka anemos did since its only huge problem is fork tower, poorly thought out that they decided "if we can only have one, we're gonna do savage then!" but on the other hand fork tower's rewards suck so it evens out

Gosh I wish Middies were real

>>715031309
I agree with ShB being a tad overrated.
But I mostly find its issues stemming from them having to pad 40 hours out of 10 levels.

FT has a lower clear rate than some ultimates.

what the HECK was her problem?

>>715037275
She had her character arc raped to facilitate a player date with Emet-Selch.

>2.2%
How do they do it? How did CS3 manage to fuck up a Foray raid this badly? Was there no one internally that said "If groups are going to form completely randomly within the zone, shouldn't we not make the combat highly coordinated? Shouldn't we stop adding body checks? Should there really be a 3 raise limit and a 1 wipe = end restriction?"?

>>715037154
>>715037214
The more apt comparison would be between OC and Bozja Southern Front since OC is only getting two zones like Bozja as opposed to the four Eureka got.

>>715032071
I don't know if google doc schizo is Barry, but at least he's comparable to Barry and mods have been trying to rangeban Barry for over a decade now.
It can't be done.

>>715031180 (OP)
It wouldn't be so bad if combat wasn't so fucking rare throughout the MSQ. Out of like 100 fucking quests, each with their own sub-quests, you have to use your entire rotation maybe once or twice.
Obviously, I'm not counting dungeon/trial queues, but those require you to queue up for 10-15 minutes just to fight something.
Sometimes kill X of Y to get quest item Z can be interesting as you actually get to use your new combat abilities.
But no, fuck that; here's WUk Lamat here to talk for another 50 minutes.

>>715037464
Bozja was going to have 3 zones originally iirc. and while I like duels and the community aspect of them they're implemented poorly in bozja. i also like the higher uptime in OC.

CLL however is the gold standard for foray dungeons though. Adramellech is a tad boring but the other bosses are great and the prison break is great

>>715037413
They had this weird thought that the people who would early clear, the most hardcore players would somehow stick around and then help lesser skilled players which isn't what happened.
When a lot of the more skilled players got their Fork Tower clear, they fucked off or they closed ranks and formed discord cliques where if you weren't friends then you weren't priority and were going to have to wait a long time for your chance to run.
It was a very poorly implemented system, I don't understand why how they had this figured out in Bojza, I played plenty of times in Bojza and people would talk within the instance to ask for numbers to do Castrum runs or whatever and because there were no convoluted means to join a run, if people were bored of grinding they would join a run to help out.

>>715037630
bozja is dogshit. through and through. hiroi also worked on that slop as well lmao

>>715037709
no writer, no matter how skilled, could polish matsuno's poor characterization

>>715037678
well, on the plus side he said that the upcoming deep dungeon wasn't as 'engaging' as forked tower and apologized for it

so it may be good content

>>715037759
i mean I'm pretty sure I could do a better job than Hiroi did on Bozja and I haven't written seriously in a decade

>>715037154
Anemos was alive for literal years

>>715037816
No, guy's right, Bozja has Matsuno's inability to write characters drenched all over it.

>>715037709
I liked 2/3s of Bojza, the last 1/3 was too rushed and felt dogshit but I blame that more on Yoshida for cutting Bojza content and wanting it over, putting the remaining story into cards, and I know the place is meant to be a battlefield but the actual landscape was shit to look at day in day out.
I preferred Bojza's systems, but Eureka's landscapes if that makes sense.

>>715037810
I don't want to be a negative Nancy but I don't trust Yoshida anymore, he's said a lot of things over the last couple of years that turned out not to be true or were implemented without thought how the real player base interacts with this game.

>>715037878
Pretty sure Matsuno just wrote the basic story, Hiroi did the characters and how they acted

I guarantee the writer's assistant did not actually handle 90% of the writing tasks.

>>715037862
Anemos was dropped like a rock after people got their relic. and the numbers that did Eureka on content were even smaller. Eureka didn't get popular till after Shadowbringers release

>>715037678
Bozja worked because you could clear content whether you were bad or good at mechanics. It just rewarded good play rather than mandated it

>>715037952
matsuno and hiroi failed. the japs hated it. yoshi was merciful to those hacks again and again.

>>715037952
oh i believe him when he says he's sorry content isn't as hard as he wants it to be. because he's been retarded about difficult recently

>DRS was cleared too many times
>Lets put a stop to that

>>715038004
Yeah that's why I preferred Bojza's systems, I miss the duels even though not once did I get into a duel I thought they were the coolest implemented system for good play and watching someone pull one off was a rush.

bozja is dogshit and DR and Duel system mechanics were fucking retarded. kys bozja shitters.

>>715038006
Yoshi is a massive Matsuno fan boy for better or worse.

>>715038054
Didn't Bozja duels have a bunch of "press this required Lost Action to not die" checks regardless of how "good" you were

>>715038002
His job was to incorporate it to the game

>>715038297
It's over, son. Turn in your shitposting badge.

>>715038003
Not on Primal, absolutely not

maybe if they bring back /ourguy/ itll save the game

>>715038346
must be a crystal thing, haven't checked since OC released but i had zero issues getting my eureka relic done before that
DID have a small number of niggers decked out in full +2 elemental gear and physeos relics sniping cassie and other high-value item dropping NMs coming from primal and aether though

>>715038371
tranny poster!

>>715038318
I'm not the one shitposting, you are
Matsuno didn't know about Fordola, he barely touched the game

What's the point of Cosmic Explorers changing landscape when it's going to be the exact same content? Seriously nothing gameplay wise is being changed at all.
Not even a tweak of gameplay, it's all a complete copy.

>>715038421
>must be a crystal thing
Nigger, you are on a data center for role players, not shit actual content die in a week

>>715038421
If you're not there at spawn, you can cope and cry about it. Waiting for everyone to arrive takes off two days of your life per relic.

>>715038497
It's just the same as phases of Ishgard Restoration, nothing changed between those either. The only thing that ever got added was some shitty FATEs at the end when it was all done.

>>715038497
needs to have a strong narrative tied to it.

planets meteion visited maybe

Apparently the latest Jurassic Park movie has been received well and is doing great money wise.
So why bring this up? Because your English VA for Graha is Jonathan Bailey, the guy wearing the glasses next to Scarjo.
Do you think he's going to keep doing FF14 now he's going to be a big screen name on par with Tom Hiddleston/ Loki.

>>715038497
nettouyo opinions don't count
>>715038512
please don't talk about whether eureka is alive or not and then actively dismiss a datacenter where it's alive. you look silly when you do that
>>715038541
it's incredibly funny to watch a WAR that thinks this not manage to kill it in time and fail to deny anybody else cassie, literally net zero gain from doing it early

>>715038678
Speak English you ESL cunt.

>>715038678
It's not about denying other people anything, it's about me not wasting two days of my life per relic waiting for everyone's grandma to crawl over from the camp because they couldn't be assed to help spawn.

>>715038678
Eureka was alive all the way from SB to EW on real data centers

>>715038741
ehhh pickup or derivery?
>>715038745
leechers pretty much don't exist as far as i've seen on crystal eurekas, my guess is it's so old there's no point in being there unless you're going to actively help. actually the type of cassie leech i'm talking about is substantially likelier to not help than a retard there because he liked the look of daboya and wants a fancy spear
>>715038753
get your cassie leechers off of my datacenter

>>715038661
he's said he has a special place in his heart for the character. he'll probably make any VA work for 14 happen long as he has time

if not, the scions will be recruiting a new all rounder

>>715038880
Literally nobody likes Daboya.

>>715038913
you can do way worse for spears than daboya, and it's among the best of the eureka relics

>>715038889
I know what you're referring to but I think he said that when FF14 was in a more respected place unlike today. He might be told be his manager and agent that to continue voicing for FF14 would actively harm his reputation/ career.

>>715038889
>if not, the scions will be recruiting a new all rounder
I doubt they'll retire a character for an English VA. It's more likely that he'd be recast.

>>715038880
You exist to spawn more cassies since you won't do it yourselves

>>715039029
i don't think talent agencies have their finger on the pulse of a relatively niche vidya genre

>>715039137
alright then nigga good luck taking cassie out in under five minutes when it takes everybody serious about it two to get there. why doesn't everybody have full +2 elemental and physeos relic to solo kite all the cassie mobs at once like meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

>>715039145
nor would they give a shit about him reprising a role, especially if he's already got a squeenix contract

>>715039192
>when it takes everybody serious about it two to get there.
If you were serious about it you'd already be there.

>>715039061
I've heard the English VA for Alphinaud put on a convincing Graha when he voiced him for his playthrough in ARR Crystal Tower. Sounds very, very similar to Jonathan Bailey so it's a possibility.

i was digging through my folders and i found my predictions. how did i do

I'm going to email Jonathon Bailey's manager and tell him that it gave me and my girlfriends the ick when we found out he voiced some weird anime catboy for an incel video game.

>>715039192
Who doesnt already have +2 elemental shit?

>>715039256
i'm here for my relic and not to fish for an earring with an estimate 5% drop chance so i shan't drop the NM i'm already prepping to help a +2 ele WAR kite mobs so he can play slots and then drop the instance and find another

>>715039278
Plenty of people thought that it was Alphinaud's voice in the initial Shadowbringers trailers. They have very similar voices. Alphinaud's VA also has a very wide range, it's impressive listening to him voice other characters on his stream.

xiv needs to overhaul the gameplay routine of

>>715039365
>i'm here for my relic and not to fish for an earring with an estimate 5% drop chance so i shan't drop the NM i'm already prepping
Okay, then you're not serious about it. Cassie drops crystals and light too, by the way. And spawning Cassie is by far the most efficient way to farm light. I don't think you're actually even doing a relic at all if you don't know that.

>>715039417
Venat probably

>>715039434
cassie isn't valuable enough on those merits to specifically seek her out and drop what you're doing to go prep her
also i don't play on primal or aether so there's a very strong likelihood the instance isn't dead and other people are prepping her already

>>715039365
>i'm here for my relic which is why I'm NOT going to get a free full 9 bars of light within 5 minutes
Just Crystal things.

>>715039417
Siren

>>715039417
Pretty sure it's still Siren and her recolors.

>>715039417
I agree with the other Anon, it would be Venat because as an Ancient who were 3x - 4x taller on average than the people of present day FFXIV, she would have massive tits.

>>715039539
>cassie isn't valuable enough on those merits to specifically seek her out and drop what you're doing to go prep her
Yes, she absolutely is. The light gain from Cassie spawning is unmatched.
>also i don't play on primal or aether so there's a very strong likelihood the instance isn't dead and other people are prepping her already
Yeah, that's what you want, idiot. You want other people nuking the ameretats down so they die instantly and blow your light bar up. It's time to admit you're talking out of your ass and don't actually know how to Pagos at all.

>>715039554
>free full 9 bars of light
how much light do you think cassie drops???????????????? what the fuck, 9 bars? are you high?

>>715039620
Not Cassie you retard, the mobs you kill to spawn her, holy shit.

>>715039594
i was thinking proportionally. if we're going for raw size wouldn't it be Eden's Promise?

>>715031309

I hope this is AI

>>715039660
I think you're right although are those even tits or anal grapes? I would say Nophica and Barbariccia are also contenders for the big titty competition.

>>715039656
>>715039720
be less quick to pat yourself on the ass. you see, i'm not typically in the business to kneel down and gently suckle the cock-heads of the +2 ele WARs obsessed with cassie, who also have the easiest time of it dealing with the required mobs in pagos. and being a grown man, light leeching doesn't even occur to me as a possiblity

>>715039845
You said you were there for your relic and somehow thought that was an explanation for why you weren't engaging in the single most efficient light farming activity in Pagos. Helping to spawn something isn't leeching. Why can't you just admit you don't know what you're talking about?

>>715039884
i can be there for my relic and also not be such a sweat-hog about it that i'll tunnelvision for cassie
>Why can't you just admit
hey wait i know who this is.

>>715039748
naw, thats real. AI is bad at hands because most artists are bad at hands

>>715039937
You literally tried to claim that you weren't helping to spawn Cassie because you were prioritizing other things for your relic, despite Cassie being the actual priority. You didn't even know that ameretats gave light at all. Just admit you were wrong, you stupid fucking rat. Why is that so hard for you?

That's a certified homestuck moment.

anyone notice that yoshida has been weirdly open about throwing his team under the bus lately, he used to be pretty protective of them

now he's like 'yeah the team's getting complacent, i've scolded them and they are fixing their poor attitudes', feels super weird when he's usually very reticent about his team in the past and gives them tons of leeway including extending patch cycles just to give them regular time off

i wonder if he feels like he's given them an inch and they're taking a mile

also is the kate that's crashing out on bsky about how gamedev is so hard the kate from localization or a different kate?

>>715040106
he should be fucking kneeling to me that my instance is alive enough that he CAN cassie-leech off of it.

There's a fuckton of replacement skills (skills that use the same binds as another ability and automatically get replaced such as veraero becomes verholy, confiteor becomes blade of this and that)

PLD gets combo on atonement button and a whole new button with this mechanic (with 1 combo)
DRK gets confiteor-like on bloodspiller
GNB gets one new continuation and 3 new actions bound to bloodfest button
WAR gets a new button on primal rend bind and one on inner release bind
MNK probably has some changes to meditation, hard to tell from just action IDs, riddles of earth, fire and wind all have new action each bound to them
DRG has new actions on DFD and Stardiver buttons, and another one that is bound to no action so it could be work in progress
NIN's new replacement binds are on TCJ, bhava and hellfrog
SAM: kaeshi higanbana no longer available, two new kaeshi actions added, there are two new iaijutsu (upgraded tenka/midare maybe?) and one skill that goes on ikitshoten button
RPR: new replacement abilities for gluttony, gibbet, gallows, guillotine, communio (stronger enshroud?)
BRD new replacements are on bloodletter, barrage and radiant finale
MCH new replacements are on barrel stabilizer and chain saw
DNC new replacement are on standard step and saber dance
BLM keeps paradox and gets a new replacement action on leylines button

SMN, RDM and healers are absent or incomplete in the action ID auto replacement table

It's really obvious that Yoshida is under the strain of having to manage not a minor division just in charge of an MMO, but overseeing multiple projects.
The man is a notorious micromanager and he can no longer micromanage, and is likely not getting the necessary resources for all these other projects besides XIV.

He still has some horrible takes and is out of his depth himself when it comes to the future FFXIV should aim for, being in the same place WoW was a few expansions ago, but at the very least he used to be a capable producer who could keep deadlines and make sure there was a decent quality/quantity of content for FFXIV. That no longer is the case.

It's also no wonder the FFXIV team gets thrown under the bus, because it's all juniors and B-tiers who replaced the veterans who instead got put on IX Remake or XVII or whatever the next big thing is.

You can tell dawntrail is a mess because there have been NO memes to come out, not one. Nobody found it endearing enough to make a meme from an entire expansion with hundreds of thousands playing it, it spawned nothing but hate.

>>715041001
You claimed you were not helping to spawn Cassie because it didn't provide enough value to your relic to be a priority. You were wrong, and you can't admit it because you have serious emotional issues. You couldn't even drop it either, you're still desperately trying to claw out a win for yourself on something you were just plainly wrong about. Get some help.

This is it, the reason why Fork Tower is more like BA than any of the Bojzan raids.
I only did BA once because I wanted my Ozma mount if it wasn't for that I wouldn't have done it and I had a lot more fun with the raids in Bojza, but it still adds to the metric. Fug.

I think it would be nice if they ever give us a Garlemald Ultimate with a Zenos finale if the first phase is Rhitatyn.

>>715031180 (OP)

You'll get Shadowniggers Ultimate and like it

Didn't yoshi p say verbatim that the dev team has gotten too comfortable/complacent and that it's affected the quality of the product
What point is she trying to make here

This moment in Shadowbringers when Ardbert is in full despair, that he can't save anyone.
Then sees the Crysterium soldiers rallying around the Wol, leading them all was so fucking peak. That's all I wanted from my FF game, fuck Dawntrail.
Quest is 'When it Rains'.

>>715033748
It's him! It's the janny!

>>715042057
You think Kate is going to let something like reality get in the way kf her world view?

>>715037057
I will say this: Stormblood had some good content, and while the changes in Dawntrail to jobs are really fucking retarded, I can't hate its content so far either besides some weird choices like Forked Tower. It's straight up just a lot of the underlying alterations tossed about that's fucking with the game as if the developers have no idea what the playerbase actually wants and just look at raid stats instead, and the pants-on-head retarded MSQ that seriously is fucking with casual interest hard.

>>715036725
You think Relm will make her appearance someday?

really curious all the 3 usual attentionfags all happen to be up around this time

>>715040938
>there have been NO memes to come out

>>715031180 (OP)
can't rate it because I got filtered by MSQ less than halfway through. Since DT content is also locked behind MSQ I can't speak of anything DT related lmao peak decision SE, lock everything behind a chore

>>715042142
The fact Kate is still running her mouth on social media after she is responsible for the worst cast hire in the history of this game, potentially the entire of the FF franchise, is incredulous to me.
She should feel very lucky to even be employed with such a massive blunder she made, but the mere fact she's still running her mouth shit talking the fan base says to me she hasn't had a dressing down which doesn't exactly portend well for the future of this game if they're not learning from their mistakes but doubling down on them instead, allowing bad practises to become habit.
The longer this goes on I feel FFXIV will maintain in spite of the debs and the people working on the game not because of them, that people are only sticking around because they use to game to speak with their friends, have a connection to the older parts of the game and not because the devs are doing anything amazing currently.

>>715042435
i think she has a mentor/student relationship with koji and thats whats given her the ability to do what she has and is protecting her from being ousted

>>715042086
Hard agree. I genuinely don't think I can recall a scene with Aardbert that wasn't peak. Great character.

>>715033260

No need to go this far for (You)s

>>715042583
Actually, he did.

>>715042616
Name the one(s) that are worse. We'll wait.

>>715042616
He's absolutely correct. Wuk is below amateur level. It's 100% the worst casting in the entire franchise.

>>715042404
just skip cutscenes if you dont want to deal with it, expansion goes by super fast then

>>715042501
I think you're right and there is also the very real skill that she brings to the game that the Jap devs might find hard to replace that she is willing to work for a relatively low amount of pay while being able to translate JP to Eng and vice versa, as you say her being the student of Koji will most likely be her saving grace.

>>715042616
Who is worse or has done more reputational damage in such a short period of time like Sena and Kate by extension have done to Dawntrail?

>>715042151

anon... please understand, Yoshida Naoki/ Yoshi-P said they didn't have enough funds to make MSQ more enjoyable... Is a new item on MogStation something you'd be interested in purchasing and make you come back?

>>715042890
These are dudes that don't seem to actually play the game at length despite pretending they do, but instead coast on dev privileges to focus on playing their big boss fights and raids for fun more than anything else. And you're lucky to even have that; most games generally have devs who just do their work and fuck off, having next to no input on their games at all anymore beyond the corporate level.

>>715042894
garlemald map is very big with poorly-placed aetherytes

every map has 2 a-rank hunt marks

the ones in garlemald have spawns that are usually very far apart

when you do an endwalker hunt train, the above factors usually result in having to fly significantly longer distances in garlemald compared to the other endwalker maps

>>715042732
>Yoshida noted that the quality of ffxiv's operations has been slipping over its many years of service, indicated by recurrent cases of system-related flaws, as well as in-game issues requiring immediate action. While their various underlying causes have been investigated and addressed, Yoshida attributed these incidents to a growing sense of "getting too comfortable," which he already brought up with the Development and Operations team.s

>For example, when designing a new in-game system, looking back at previous projects helps set the bar for what seems "good enough," but this could also be considered complacency

>But as content and project sizes continued to swell, with pending deadlines to be met, more and more design decisions were made based on precedence rather than seeking ideal solutions for each scenario.

>Similarly, the teams recently resolved some issues based on previous experiences before reporting on the situation; they meant well, but Yoshida requested them to relay any incidents as they occur, rather than afterward

This seems pretty clear cut, the staff have become used to a certain routine and are working based on what worked before, what they have always done rather than what perhaps is the best course of action.
Which is in stark contrast to this complaint from Kate, I'm thinking more about it, was it addressed to the player base only or was it a snide dig at her superior? After all you needed an account on Bluesky to view her post so from her perspective it was only for a select few people to see and she wrote it in English after-all.
>>715031654
(Duplicate file exists)

>>715043085
While true what you say I was more invested in previous expacs' story so I was rather enjoying the cutscenes. In this case I just rush the whole thing without really rushing it at all... and I won't lie I came to the realisation that I tolerated this shitty MSQ gameplay all these years but never bothered with it till now...

He's the Producer, Director of the game. Why is it surprisingly people are going to talk about him when what he says and how he acts is very relevant and related to FFXIV?
Have you ever had a job before and people talk about the boss? Do you think they just did that because they loved your boss? No, it's because what the Boss says steers the ship of the company, or in this instance steers the direction of the game.
Please school yourself before sounding like an educated Jeet.

he isn't your boss.
If you could read I am talking about how all of you have very obviously formed a parasocial attachment to him and being mentally ill are getting way too angry that ffxiv's msq isn't good and lashing out against Yoshida in a very obvious parasocial relationship turned into hate way.

Off you trot before you have a nervous breakdown because we're going to keep discussing Yoshida.

So, for the foreseeable future Yoshida says he's going to be focusing his attention on FF14 and I sort of see that attitude with the recent Live letter and his action in bringing changes before even waiting for the next patch which if they've done before, they haven't done for a long time.
I know last year Yoshida gave an interview where he said he had to have the finalised story for 8.0 by December of last year as he had to give the design document to the CGI team to work on for the next expansion trailer.
So whatever happens in 7.3 MSQ, the story is locked in.

>>715044203
you can actually criticize the game, but not like this thread does, this thread is very obviously people deciding to hate on people they don't actually know and making up headcanons about them.

>>715044824
It's ok because it's old news

Being completely blunt, Wuthering Waves is doing far more than FFXIV has done since Dawntrail released.

A whole fucking year to get a foray released is bad comedy. For it to suck on top of that? Absolutely obscene. FFXIV is unacceptable on every level.

This was Kate's idea to avoid youtube chuds wasn't?

>>715045378
>thought he meant money, but what he was actually talking about was man power
The fuck do you think 'cost' would mean otherwise? Electricity bill? Of course the biggest cost will be the people, everyone already gets that implicitly except for you.

>>715045519
@grok is money a factor in lacking man power 'human resources' in a company?

>Yes, money is directly related to a lack of manpower resources in a company. Insufficient funding can limit a company’s ability to offer competitive salaries, benefits, or incentives, leading to high employee turnover as workers leave for better-paying jobs. Low budgets may also restrict hiring, leaving positions unfilled or forcing reliance on underqualified or overworked staff. Additionally, inadequate investment in training, career development, or workplace improvements can erode employee satisfaction, further driving turnover. Financial constraints can also hinder effective recruitment processes, making it harder to attract skilled candidates in competitive labor markets. If you’d like specific examples or data on how financial factors impact manpower in certain industries.

>>715045519
What resource is used to acquire and/or utilize manpower in a corporate setting?
Is it possible that they're providing the employees with some kind of... compensation? Like a widely accepted currency of some kind?

>>715045520
>everyone already gets that implicitly except for you.
no.
>>715045428
no you didn't, the ffxiv community are filled with morons who can barely read, this includes you.

>>715045584
You're a retard, a retard you.

Fuck you.
Game development is HARD, shut up and keep paying those subs.

>>715045378
no, JP was just as clueless as we were as to what he was referring to
it wasn't "cost" it was "budget" and "budget" can mean money or time or resources or any number of things that go into a project
and it doesn't really matter because at the end of the day its semantics; they aren't putting resources into the game that it deserves, be it time, money, people, etc
or at least, that's yoship's excuse
I thoroughly expect him to dogeza at least twice in the next liveletter clarifying the issue was simply his own misstep and he shouldn't ever talk about the budget of the company ever again and he will cry into his hands, showing off his three new ring purchases

>pretty bad
Half the players have quit. It's a lot worse than "pretty bad"

>>715045628
You made the mistake of interacting with someone acting in bad faith. They're trying to muddy the waters to get your to think what Yoshida said, isn't what he meant while they themselves don't understand Japanese yet somehow are aware of what the Japanese man meant better than the man himself.
Why do they do this? They feel the need to shout down any criticisms and in doing so they break their own backs through the mental gymnastics they perform.
It's bullshit, it's clear as day what the man meant.

>>715045574
>>715045576
I'm impressed with how stupid you are.
But lets paint a picture.
You're a newly graduated student, you got a nice diploma and you're ready to work at a video game company, you got your eyes set on Square Enix because you're one of 5 zoomers that likes Final Fantasy, a bit of an old soul.
When you get to SE do you want to work on the newest Final Fantasy with an all new world, characters, combat and maybe make history!
Or do you want to work on the over a decade old mmo, working with an old outdated engine, having to clean up decades old code and really not making anything new and probably be stuck there for the rest of your life because once you're in the mmo hole you're kinda stuck there because the mmo will always need devs.

Because let me tell you, even if they offered you a shit ton of money you'd get more applying for a job at Nintendo anyways.
Thats why they can't find people, no one wants to work on old MMOs.

>>715044601
Maybe if they remembered to actually give him a personality at some point.

>>715045791
If only there was this thing called money that Square Enix had, to offer employees and potential new staff that would make working on their games a more attractive prospect. Almost as if "Cost" is referring to money.
Uh-oh.

>>715045628
>no, JP was just as clueless as we were as to what he was referring to
being a moron is not localized to the west.
>it wasn't "cost" it was "budget" and "budget" can mean money or time or resources or any number of things that go into a project
yes, and people still misinterpert Yoshida, thats the point.
>>715045784
no, there is a very clear history of people genuinely not getting what Yoshida said and making up things they think he said, and a lot of that is because of the really shit translators on the reddit discord which then youtubers take to make their shitty videos.
the ffxiv community has a staggering amount of morons in it.

>>715045791
Just hire some jeets or the xiv mobile chinks.

>>715045916
Yet the only people who misinterupted what Yoshida said are those of you who want to try and scramble to find he meant something else when this right here
>>715045428
Is direct from their own translation posted on the forums.
>We lacked the development resources
"Oh but that isn't related at all to money" LOOOL tell me you've never had a job without telling me you've never had a job.

>>715045915
thanks for once again proving that ffxiv players cannot fucking read.
>>715045931
its a japanese company, basically no one there speaks English, thats why when they talk about hiring they stress they want people that can speak japanese.

>>715045931

>>715045931
They do hire jeets, the entire graphical update was done by them

>Admits to either not playing FFXIV or can't read
Interesting self own there.

I am at a loss for words, is american education really this bad?

>>715046036
Proof?

>>715046021
The NTR hair was hilarious, it's been nothing but male hairstyles since EW with like 1 exception with flowers in it

>>715046021
>moron that knows nothing about game development makes absolutely retarded theory

>>715046051
>I am at a loss for words
If that were true you'd save us all your stupidity and stop posting.

>>715046057
How it was all done by AI

>>715046109
maybe one day you'll go to a first world country and learn that words have different meanings in different contexts.

>>715046089
And the one exception is mostly out of reach for most of the player base because it's lock behind dead content

>>715031309
>It's fine, about stormblood's quality par
No it fucking isnt. Stormbloods main quest was better in everyway, and it's end game blows DWs out the water

>>715046168
I thought you said you were at a loss for words that the most basic concept of development resources refers to money, specifically control of the budget allotted to FFXIV for content delivery, this somehow alludes you as you're not operating in reality but in whatever la la land of self delusion you've created.

>>715046260
Obviously Yoshida meant that he doesn't have the power to direct his employees to work on FFXIV instead of FFXVII you dumb American....

>game is dying and these retards are fighting over semantics
lol

This will save FFXIV

I think the one on the right here is supposed to be Castrum Oriens. The architecture looks a lot cooler than what we got.

>>715046329
>Obviously it didn't refer to what it meant per Yoshida's own comments, per the official translated forum post, but this other thing that I made up with no evidence
Clearly, it's always funny how the most uneducated that is you tells others to educate themselves when you've lost the argument instead of admitting you were wrong.

>>715046441
That's a very cute ear

What did you do in Guild Wars 2 today?

>>715033987
>Tatarus Great Adventure: The expansion

>>715046579
I'd pay for that

I love that people shit on yoshitpiss 24/7 here lol

>>715046794
The 7 Eleven one looks the least crispy so I'll get rid of that one.

>>715046794
It's like 2 brown schizos
Everyone else just lost interest

>>715038497
It’s “Cosmic Exploration”, ESL.

>>715046021
Mobile ff14 anons, when is the bikini Yshtola banner? I want to save up Hydaelyn Crystals to roll for her... I hope I'll get lucky this time and don't get another Gilgamesh (Forma di Greg)

>>715039417
Spiritually is has to be /ourmom/ Venat but if we’re talking literal it’s probably Nophica relative to the rest of her.

>>715040145
It's the Localizer Kate

>>715040145
Honestly he’s probably tired of getting shot on for stuff the design and development teams have done.
Most of the issues aren’t his fault, his issues were in hiring and not catching major issues early in production. He’s actually been better at communicating when he’s throwing people under the bus. When he was more protective he would be more likely to bend the truth.

>>715047979
Menphina has bigger tits than Nophica

>>715047979
They were super safe with Nophica it was embarrassing

>>715040580
Man is that IX remake even a thing if it isn’t how long ago was it cancelled. And it’s not like they can announce a cancellation bc it was never announced to begin with.

>>715040569
RDM has the veraero/thunder to verholy/flare but also has acceleration changing jolt and inpact into grand impact
It also has combo actions for embolden with vice of thorns than replaces it and prefulgence for manafication (when you spend the stacks)

>>715040938
The bakool ja doing the broly pose on Wuk is an edit, does that count

>>715042616
I can’t think of someone worse in the franchise. Vanille was annoying but that was more to do with character writing.

>>715042890
They had a good idea with the golden gil sink mounts and they just… stopped doing that for some reason. Despite there being many good candidates for an opulent reskin.

>>715040719
Only out of necessity.
