pity reply

My house is about to explode in a couple of days lol

Speen has a new belt for her book, which looks kinda nice

Krile who?

>>715696682 (OP)
XIV cucks, your game is dying. no one cares

>another fucking robot attack on Solution 9
Hiroi does it again... BRAVO!!!! BRAVO!!!!!

>>715697605
Not confirmed yet, but you're probably not wrong

I'm itching to play this game again but I've not played since before dawntrail. Is it worth picking it up again yet?
I've heard the dawntrail story is bad but is there any redeemable qualities that would make it worth playing through?

>>715698105
There are no redeeming qualities in the MSQ unless you count laughing at how unbelievably bad it is, but Arcadion is fun.

>>715698105
7.0 was a bad time to be an MSQ enjoyer, but 7.2 and so on are picking up again imo

>>715698197
Are these supposed to be the BDSM animal gimp mask dudes who make you do that fucked up near impossible minigame?

Hi

>>715698363
Who's the kid next to mooj?

You can tell the bootlickers of Yoshi-P saying this patch is okay because the content they offer is the same as the 4.3 patch.

>>715698363
Damn, you're quick

>>715696682 (OP)
>New PvP Gear
Tick tock feasties

>>715698105
7.1 is a typical x.1 patch, just a bit worse because its still with the DT cast, but it at least ends on something interesting, 7.2 was really good, and if you're annoyed at Wuk you'll be happy to know they heavily scaled back on her apperances, she is still a major character but she doesnt dominated the MSQ like in 7.0, and the story is actually going somewhere and is interesting.

>>715698409

>>715698105
7.0 and 7.1 are really bad there is no exaggeration. 7.0 is as long as Endwalker in cutscenes but unfortunately nothing is really happening except dialogue that repeats itself 3x and the quest design got even worse.
More of those stupid follow stealth quests, and "speak to 3 NPCs".
Also get used to seeing
>Speak to Wuk Lamat

>they keep showing Sphene as a placeholder for the secret Trial
This must be a hint

>>715698714
I don't wanna fight Sphene... she is my friend... thats a girl, a girl friend...

You upgraded, right Anon?

Speech Bubbles confirmed for 7.3 even though they said it wasn't ready yet

>>715698842
yeah, to Linux

New armour set, looks to be Conquistador themed.

>>715698779
I'm sure we'll beat up jacked up Simulant instead

I miss binging through the whole game to Endwalker. Hitting the end of the great binge took the magic out of the game for me. All that shit good and bad in what felt like an endless run can't be topped again.

I really doubt they're gonna have the restraint to not bring an ascian back

>>715696881
>Becomes SMN
>Trial ends up being not-Alexander
>Somehow she gains access to Demi-Alexander after you beat the trial
Please I've been coping since 4.0 we need some new interesting summon

>>715699205
that wouldn't be an issue, Ascians are decent villains and the ones left arent forced to follow the unsundereds plans and can do whatever they want and we have a few we dont know what happened to them

>>715699205
It was always obvious that they would do it someady.
You can't just pretend like the remaining Ascians don't exist anymore

SE are stopping support of Windows 10 operating systems in October, this includes for FF14.

>>715699274
I just have to imagine there will be something incredibly devastating about to happen which will be the hook to get people into the new expansion, I fully see a reflection being melded or another planet appears in the sky again

>>715699205
Isn't it just altima left

>>715699349
Pashtarot, Deudalaphon and Halmarut are still unaccounted for too

>>715699263
Alexander's supposed to be waiting to do something important isn't it? They could pull that here and reverse time for something. Would be a cheap cop out and likely force-retcon the raids to being mandatory but I wouldn't be surprised

>>715698456
Cloak physics when? we have dangly bits on weapons with physics now, how long must I wait for the true cloak exprience

On the topic of ascians shouldn't there still be shards of all the sundered convocation members? Considering Amon was prolific well before being discovered by Emet wouldn't it be more reasonable to expect Calyx to be another shart of Hermes or one of the others?

>>715699839
Yes, there should be shards of the other convocation members, but they can't become Ascians without a memory crystal.
They're just normal dudes without being reinstated

>>715698105
>Redeemable qualities
Dungeons are a massive step up in both quality and difficulty (read: you might actually die if you're alt-tabbed and watching Netflix on your first run). Also, the music is great as always except for THAT song. You'll know what I'm talking about the instant it starts playing. Everything else though? It's pretty grim.

>>715699319
Using the steam survey as a metric over 35% of the users are using w10, are they seriously just gonna drop support for like 1/3 of their users?

>>715700183
It appears so, they made the announcement on their official social media accounts and on the Lodestone.
https://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/f3989cfce901bd04230b35306014c55d3ba3d3a0

>>715700183
They're saying it'll still probably work they're just using that as an excuse to lessen their customer support essentially

>>715700183
Microsoft is ending all w10 support which includes potentially helping other companies so SE has little choice in the matter

>>715700750
They had a choice, the choice is financial. They could still support people using Windows 10 after Microsoft ends official support but the matter is financial not technical, they that is SE could obtain a licence to continue supporting Windows 10 operating systems for their products it's a common practice for technical and game industries to offer support once the official manufacturer has ended it's own support, but it is a financial decision.
SE chose to cheap out and not continue to offer troubleshooting support.

Tranny thread

>>715702026
The voices are opt-in, so you don't have to hear Bakool Ja Ja trying to wrap his tongue around "junchan sanshoku chun doradora" if you don't want to. You should still never play mahjong, but not for that specific reason at least.

>The Dungeons have been turned into packages to streamline the entire development process 2 mobs wall boss, 2 mobs wall boss 2 mobs wall boss.

>4 months between patches

>ARR and HW dungeons were not streamlined had some branching pathways or unique gimmicks
>2 dungeons per patch
>Patches were also shorter at 3 months

I don't get this at all, what is going on with their development pipeline?

>>715696682 (OP)
Oh boy, new formulaic content for a formulaic expansion!

Why don't they make good MMOs anymore bros

>>715696881
>>715697679
>>715698197
this msq looks like dogshit and the trial as well. I thought 7.3 was going to be the culmination.

fire hiroi already

any hopes for the trailer next week?
>speen talking
>calyx talking
>wuk talking
>fake outs
>shit that implys stuff but wont be in the patch


oooooof. lets leave this shitty expansion already.

>>715702872
The game is SE's primary money maker, so the more they spend on it the less return they get. They boiled the frog over several years and people are still keeping their subs rolling, so they have no reason to go back to the way things were if they can keep making the same amount of money while spending less.

>>715703339
Because they all copied the wrong MMO

>>715703339
Stay strong brother, we only have to hold out for a few more months and then we can finally go home.

>>715703901
speen talking is good, in fact if Wuk doesnt speak it will be a great trailer

>people in this fucking thread calling 7.2 good
Who the FUCK are you

>Chat Bubble Feature
bros... we're so back...

>>715704252
theyre going to talk about this for 45 mins arent they

>wuk
>gulool ja
>calyx
>robot attacks AGAIN
>speen trial

holy fuck therye dragging this slop out.

>>715704368
Probably. They already spent a while talking about the red color shouts making bubbles look weird and if they should disable it in combat.

>>715704179
Are you surprised?
7.2 MSQ being a significant improvement is a pretty common take

>>715704746
the only good thing was speener and wuk being vaudevilled hooked away.

the calyx shit is retarded and so is the neo regulaor slop.

>>715704829
>the calyx shit is retarded and so is the neo regulaor slop.
I think most people would disagree

>>715704179
I'm me.
>>715704829
good thing that Sphene was most of the patch then, sure Calyx isn't the most interesting character but it's more about his relation to Sphene that will no doubt be even more explored in 7.3, it also helps that Sphene is just genuinely a nice and charming character with a very clear struggle and dilema on her hand, she has been effectively dead for centuries and got reborn only to see how her name and face has been used to push agendas and her countries into a very dangerous place, but at the same time she wants to save it she doesnt know how or if she fits into this new Alexandria, it's good, unlike another certain main character.

>gulool ja is still there

holy shit fuck this patch.

>>715705213
So this is the end right? .3 we kill necron/kuja whatever?

>>715705423
7.3 is meant to be the end of DT's story yes, x4 is starting the prolouge to 8.0
> we kill necron/kuja whatever?
who knows, might be something different.

Will we commit snugglespeen?

>>715705364
What did goofy dino ever do to you?

>>715705364
hey show some respect to the king.

>>715705552
If we do, they might postpone it to a later patch.
Because the writers like being pricks

>>715705732
>final cutscene of 7.3 dot png

>>715705873
We will have a whole dedicated patch to speen snuggles and alisae seething from a distance

>>715705364
I haven't touched the game since the end of 7.0 I'm waiting for confirmation that Tural and all associated characters are nuked from the game for good before I touch it again.
I might one day write or make a video on why Dawntrail was such a shitshow if for no one else but myself to have it written exactly what happened to the game I loved.

>>715705963

>in the end Estinien manages to ruin it for everyone without realizing it

>>715696682 (OP)
>wuk lamat front and center
nah

>>715696682 (OP)
Kek

Why would Alisaie want to have a rivalry with Speenor?

>>715706351
Not really

>>715706390
Not really

>>715706351
>wuk lamat front and center
but she is to the left and WoL is full front and center along with Sphene? and both stand out more because they have more colors to them meanwhile everyone but Gulool Ja is more dull sepiatoned colors meaning the focus is very much on WoL, Sphene and Gulool Ja.

>>715698853
Been waiting 10 years for this man

>>715706481
Not really

>>715706382
Sphene is a woman who isn't afraid to say how she feels, Alisaie has spent 10 years being unable to say she loves WoL, so she fears that Sphene will take WoL before her and she can't allow that.

>>715706292
The worst part is I can see this happening, personality wise
Dawntrails true "scions vs scions" was just 2 teams, one trying to sabotage the date and the other trying to sabotage them

I'd say I write better than Hiroi but there is no point in setting a bar if that bar is 7 meters underground

>>715706587
You’re retarded if you think the WoL will be allowed to date anyone. At most we show people around

>>715706369
The Archduke was right about her.

>>715706687
if granblue can give danjou a wife ffxiv can too

>>715706687

>random dungeon
>something something
>deep dungeon content will be released in 7.3.99 in december
>see you in february for 7.4 bare update, content for it will be released in may

im somehow not amused. 7.3 should give second eureka location, at least.

>>715706587
>Dawntrails true "scions vs scions" was just 2 teams, one trying to sabotage the date and the other trying to sabotage them
it would be something like this
>WoL and Sphene goes on another date
>Alisaie's jealousy flares up and she "recruits" (read force) Alphinaud and G'raha to help her
>meanwhile Thancred sees this, and he won't allow anyone to ruin his friends date, or the chance for WoL to be a bit more normal and less autistic so he and Urianger sets off to stop Alisaie
>Krile tags along because this is just funny
>queue back and forths of them doing wacky hijinxs
>in the end Estinien walks up to WoL and Sphene just as they're about to get romantic and mentions Y'sthola told him to find WoL because she wants that Azem Key

>>715696682 (OP)
How comes this porn and degenerate game full of child-like people called lalafel survived the anti-porn purge by ours truly CC rulers, Visa and MasterCard?

>>715706738
That’s only for the end game when no more major content and it will be a lot of npcs for the WoL to date

>>715699427
Didn't Gaius have their masks on his belt, saying he had been going around killing all the Ascians he could find? It's never explained how he did it, but it sounded like a pretty definitive death. And if it wasn't, now that the unsundered and Zodiark are gone, I doubt they found a way to come back "to life" just to continue a plan that's no longer feasible.

>>715702872
>dungeon starts in a big fucking vehicle and you should wait for mobs
Please don't this again, twice was already enough.

>>715699263
sorry no budget for new summon.
would you be interested in new cosmetic on mogstation?

>>715707079
Next dungeon will actually just be a vehicle and all packs come to you, including bosses
The dungeon is just a big airship with little circular pads where the bosses will appear

>>715707079
So anyway 7.3 dungeon is going to have you start in vehicle and you have to wait for the mobs.

>>715699205
Yeah, there are still too many things not accounted for. Calyx clearly knows about the Source and its reflections, so either he's an Ascian who was "awakened" by a memory crystal or he learned stuff from one. That might also explain why he's so obsessed with leaving one's physical body behind and attain "true eternal life", the Ascian were pretty much masters in this.

>>715707078
Gaius doesn't know how to truly kill Ascians, or at least he shouldn't know.
>now that the unsundered and Zodiark are gone, I doubt they found a way to come back "to life" just to continue a plan that's no longer feasible.
Who said anything about them continuing their old plan?
They can do whatever they want, now that Elidibus is gone.

>>715706970
All the lala porn is gay so that makes it kosher. No seriously I barely see any female lalafel porn. I hate it, I want to mash potatos but I'm not gay.

>>715696682 (OP)
>not even a trailer anymore
It's like they're not even trying anymore

>>715706957
The cat hag will be milked for this transgression

>>715706970
It also turns people who play the game trans.

>>715707078
Yoshida said in a live letter that the masks Gaius has belong to Altima and Deudalaphon
Personally I think that's a recon, one those masks looked like it belonged to Fandaniel, but that angle was probably cut after Endwalker got merged into a single expansion

>>715707360
The trailer only ever releases during Live Letters, in case you didn't know.

>>715707396
You're next

>>715707392
she doesn't care, her clock is ticking and she has a lionman to get back to, WoL is young and will get other chances.

>>715707467
So are you.

>>715707396
Same as other MMOs like how the Blood Elves in WoW turn people into ugly-as-fuck troons.

>>715707485
She's talking about G'raha

>>715707534
You first

>>715707413

I mean it makes perfect sense if one of the masks were Fandaniel since we know he jumped bodies sometimes during Shb. Yoshi-P might've just messed up his answer.

>>715707396
>>715707534
to the surprise of absolutely no one, seriously if someone starts saying they're a "femboy" its just code for "I'm trans and halfway through the closet"


good on her though, though her content is still just boring

Speen but she acts like an overly affectionate cat

>>715707757
Oh yeah?
What outfit is she wearing?

>>715707634
So you're saying you're going to suck cock after someone else does, bit gay that lad.

>>715707396
>>715707534
Not another one. I really liked his FFXIV content. Why would he want to become trans all of a sudden? He won't look like a beautiful woman, and never will be.

>>715706957
It’s telling how the only way DT defenders can even pretend to enjoy this story is just by making up ridiculous wish fulfillment fan fiction

>>715707696
I mean Altima and Deudalaphon are still unaccounted for so I doubt he messed up his answer
Though it is odd that this plot line has been left hanging for several years now

>>715708108
>Why would he want to become trans all of a sudden?
bro dude was dressing up really feminine for years, everyone saw he was trans

>>715708108
Because if you're not 100% masculine as a man or 100% feminine as a woman, you're a walking target for trannies who seek validation for their fucked up lives by convincing you to transition as well.

>>715708108
He still says he's only attracted to women as well. What kind of mental midget mindset do you have where you crossdress and think a straight woman is going to be attracted to you? Or are they trying to attract a Lesbian who won't like that he's got a cock.
It smacks of weakness, browse his twitter and he's spending half the time gooning to hentai. Trans from all the evidence I've seen is about how degen you are, it's a sexual deviancy rather than something more foundational.

and the thread is derailed by tranny chat.

>>715707842
Her "normal" one but with the hood down
And she is doing it in full view of the other scions

>>715707396
Pretty sure pint was a femboy when he was playing wow

>>715708396
typical ff14, can't help itself with transitioning from videogame to trannychat

>>715708396

>>715709125
Lad Wuk Lamat is still in 7.3, the game isn't going to be fixed until at least early next year.

why would you say something like that, krile

>>715709125
Just let it go. You’re genuinely going to feel a weight off your shoulders

>>715709645
7.3 will go one of 3 ways
1. you beat Calyx and Sphene resumes being Queen of Alexandria
2. you beat Calyx and Sphene journeys with you.
3. you beat Calyx but only thanks to Sphene's sacrifice.

of the 3 #1 is the most likely.

What's the first thing you'll say in chat bubble form bros?

We must study under Thancred to properly learn the ways of the headpat

>>715710081
God save our gracious Sphene,

balatro?? wth does that clown card game have to do with trooning out?? this is some eceleb internal joke or something

Grasp the speen firmly like hamburger

Wouldn't it be great if they ended this expansion with wuk sacrificing herself for real Sphene and Sphene talking the throne?
Instant redemption.

>>715710625
no, don't make her a martyr
wuk needs to be forgotten

>>715710525
I don't understand it either, if I had to guess it's probably some weird trooncord thing where he thinks the player base for Balatro are troons.

>>715710625
would be forced but its a choice of bad writing I'm willing to take

>>715710525
>>715710738
terminally online transwomen tend to just say thing they like it trans or trans adjacent, which also makes it damn near impossible to have good faith arguments with them on certain things because "they're trans though!"

Wuk stays dawnshitter and gets forgotten permanently
We get speen
Alisae cries, pisses and shits herself in rage while speen is honest and gets clingier by the day
speen secretly likes doing it just because she wants to bully Alisae

>>715710625
no, because there is no reason for it and like >>715710686 said it martyrs her and gives the team to make her Hauchefant 2.0 which is not what anyone wants, it's better for her to just be there in the background, say goodbye and never become relevant ever again.

FF11 is still running.

>>715713287
no it doesn't, and you can pay less, it's also not like SE is forcing you to sub, if you don't feel like its worth subbing just don't sub.

>>715712938
>SE heard this and thought "Yes that's who I want to voice the main character for our expansion!"

>>715712938
turns out when Sena keeps to her actual vocal range she can do an okay job. still need to train on the actual emoting part.

>>715713356
>>715714185
Yes it does charge $15 a month, you can pay $13 a month but that's only a $2 difference and simply saying
>No it doesn't
Is a flat out lie.

>>715714379
You heard it here first. 13 = 15

>>715714436
The monthly subscription for Final Fantasy XIV (FFXIV) costs $12.99 USD for the Entry level, which allows one character per world, or $14.99 USD for the Standard level, which allows up to 8 characters per world. The Standard subscription also offers discounts for longer subscription periods.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Entry Subscription:
$12.99 USD per month, allowing one character per world and up to 8 total characters.
Standard Subscription:
$14.99 USD per month, allowing up to 8 characters per world and up to 40 total characters.
Yes you can pay $13 and $15. You lied by saying the game doesn't charge $15.

>>715714379
ok. even so, you're not forced to stay subbed if you don't want to.

>>715714546
Outdated information

>>715714567
What?

>>715714628
Feel free to post the updated information.

>>715714738
Nah. I don't think I will

>>715714738
>What?
it's really simple anon, If you don't think the game is worth a 15 dollars a month subscription, you, that being the person that is you who has full control of this situation, can just unsubscribe and not pay those 15 dollars until the game has added things you find worth doing.

>>715714567
>x item costs $15.00 and isn’t worth the money
>ermmmm no it doesnt cost $15.00
>ok it does but you do t HAVE to buy it
Are you just arguing with people for the sake of arguing? The next time you have nothing of value to provide, just keep your mouth shut

>>715714940
Wuk lamat broke into my room and made me sub

>>715714850
That's what I thought, you're full of shit.

>>715714940
Yeah that wasn't what anon asked was it though? He said to access the game and you turned it into "forced to stay subbed". You changed the use of the language, neat manipulation trick there.

>>715698973
I like the helmets, they look nice.

>>715715002
my point is still pretty clear that he doesnt find the ffxiv sub worth it he can just unsub, me being incorrect about the sub price doesn't change that.
genuinely the easiest way for them to notice people aren't satisfied is just to unsub.
>>715715080
>He said to access the game and you turned it into "forced to stay subbed".
genuinely the same thing, he is annoyed ffxiv's sub costs 15 bucks, I said he can just unsub because he clearly finds it annoying to pay.
Also it's just the most fucking sensible thing anyone can do, if he has nothing to do, just fucking unsub, people do that constantly with any subscriptions.

>>715714339

>>715715275
Dont argue with him, he thinks 13 is 15

>>715715275
>ESL doesn't understand English
>Forced is the same as access
Just say your instead of you're, get it out of the way.

>>715715435
you seem to not understand what I'm saying, you're acting like you're forced to be subbed, you're not, it's so simple, if you don't like what you're getting just unsub and play something else until theres something you want to do.
Like if savage comes out next year, just stay unsubbed until then, how hard is this to get?

You faggots deserve every bad thing that happens to you. I've been playing the same race since the start. I've never even changed his hair color.

>>715717653
My original WoL was a male miqote. I'm sorry, but the lore for Male miqote is so irreparably FUBAR that I just had to change it, especially after G'raha Tia was introduced. Wasn't going to play second fiddle to that twink. I've been a Viera ever since.

>>715717653
>your canon WoL
The shortest female Lalafell in existence was the saviour of existence itself and none can deny that.

>>715696682 (OP)

>>715717653
>I've never even changed his hair

>>715717653
Still no idea how people change races so much

>>715718293
Ngl I had the same hair since ARR until EW

The only regret I have for not resubbing is that if I do eventually decide to resub, the XI raids will be braindead easy thanks to gear scaling, just like how it is with the first alliance raid for EW where you miss out on 50% of the mechanics.

>>715698105
The gameplay is SOOOOOOOOOO good. It’s just stack spread in out, but because it happens at 2x the speed (hope you have low ping!), it’s SOOOOO good. Also the 7.2 story (a half-hour cutscene) is SOOOOO much better than Dawntrail, so you should totally slog through 40 hours of Woke Letroon beforehand. Dawntrail is Stormblood 2.0 and we eatin’ good my fellow gameplay chads.

>>715718764
Fuck off, I literally can't get through any post Stormblood raid without dying a thousand times. The game is more difficult than ever and mechanics, especially alliance raid mechanics, are completely incomprehensible. Aglaia is genuinely harder than Orbonne, and I say that as someone who did Orbonne pre-nerf. Orbonne's mechanics at least made sense. Aglaia is completely and utterly nonsensical.

>>715699319
This just means the launcher isn’t going to be updated. Which isn’t necessary, since it’s a very simple web app to provide patches and log in. If anything, this will push JP to embrace XIVLauncher and thus modding.

>>715718764
I have absolutely no regrets being unsubbed, I haven't bothered with 7.1 and if I ever do I'll skip it entirely, 7.2 I watched a streamer play through it as again I've no interest in resubbing but I saw people were saying it's better and wanted to see for myself without giving over money.
7.3 will be more of the same, I'm not resubbing and I'll no doubt watch a streamer or playthrough of the MSQ then if I ever do resub I'll skip it.
I used to be someone who would be the absolute archetype of what an MSQ enjoyer is and they've destroyed that for me.
The damage a bad writer and bad oversight has on a narrative first game can have is devastating.

>>715718308
I had a bunch of free fantas so I used them whenever I got bored of my character's apperance.

>>715718942
>I literally can't get through any post Stormblood raid without dying a thousand times
Well this is bait.

>>715718835
That image is hilarious
I just checked the actual image and it's just full on despair
The graph looks like a literal downwards cliff, with no signs of stopping

>>715718942
Anon-kun, there are two halves to the problem with the raids. First, like I said, was gear scaling. A shorter fight means you probably won't mess up, or if you do, you have 23 other retards who can more than make up for you. Second is that all the newer raids(So SHB and EW, like I said I haven't played DT's alliance raid) have mechanics that are just variation of "stand here", so even if you are confused the first time around, you can just follow everyone else who has done the song and dance before. Both of these aren't a problem when the raid is new, since players gear isn't scaled for the raid and most probably don't know what a mechanic does is yet, so they don't just instant move to where they need to be, meaning you just have to follow them like a puppy.

>>715718992
Yeah, I was willing to give DT a chance, but I made the decision if the writing was still as shit as it was in the post EW patches, then I was going to just wait until the x.5 patch and see if it was worth getting back into. If not, I'm done, and have no regrets doing so with how bad DT was. Hiroi or whatever it was should have gotten more flak during the post-EW patches and then maybe it could have prevented DT's story. Instead people mindlessly defended him and now we have an entire expansion msq that is fucking awful.

>>715718992
I'm someone who does every sidequest in the game including yellow quests and even I don't care about the msq this much. Seems overdramatic. Also have read all the encyclopedias

>>715719805
Yeah no shit, they wiped out 2 expansions worth of growth and are hitting Stormblood numbers, and there are still people who think that's fine.
If SE were barely giving FF14 money while it was earning during Shadowbringers and Endwalker, they're really going to tighten the belt and stop the money flow into FF14 now.
It's another reason you're seeing a new outfit on the cash shop every week now, they're milking what's left of the Whales.

Dawntrail left me fed up so much I unsubbed after playing for 10 years, gave up on a large house and everything. After a few months the feeling of wanting to play it went away, but when I saw the thread it caught my eye, old habits I guess. The special site isn't showing me anything that's making me want to return though.

>>715721208
The trailer for 7.3 will be out in 7 days, that'll probably be more interesting than the site

>>715721208
>Dawntrail left me fed up so much I unsubbed after playing for 10 years, gave up on a large house and everything.
Literally me. This game is dead to me. For me, the story ended at Endwalker and everything afterwards is just badly written fanfiction.

>>715719627
I use em for reasons I think are cannon for my character.
For example, as part of a bet I lost I used one to become a bunny girl for awhile.

>>715720608
Think would get some what attached after years of being with them

i'm holding to my guns. if i get a bingo square from just the trailer i'll be excited, given how bullshit patch trailer depictions of events usually are

7.2 is just as bad and already redoing the S9 plot from 7.0 with Calix being ARR-SB Elidibus 2.0

>male viera in lore are rare and are raised to be defenders of their native forest
>only allowed to meet with the females rarely because if they had unrestricted access, they'd fuck their women to death and lead to a baby boom the likes of which they've never seem before

How is that hroth supposed to see anything?

>>715722834
My character's race is just another cosmetic at the end of the day, it doesn't affect anything so I feel free to change it whenever I feel like it if I have a free fanta lying around.

>we kill calyx
>the rejoining started 35 minutes ago

>>715724361
I wouldn't call it 'redoing the S9 plot', rather than 'recontextualizing'.
Endless Sphene goes from a troubled ruler to a mere tool for conducting experiments.
S9 goes from an advanced civilization to a skinner box with extra steps.
It takes what felt weird about Alexandria and makes it make sense.

fanfests are always announced 21 months before expansion launch, and they still haven’t announced them yet. that puts the earliest date for 8.0 at April 2027, which assumes fanfests get announce sometime this month.
Thoughts?

>>715725696
I hope they don't do three fanfests again, it kinda kills the hype when only the last one has the big announcements

>>715725696
Sowwy no fanfest no more moni. We spent all your moni on Killer Inn, Foamstars, Forspoken, Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel Avengers, FF16 and FF7rebirth. No monis for FF14 sowwy sucka.

>>715725243
Oooooo, cryptic words that wont have any real impact until 8.3-8.5. Just another nothingburger like final days at best where new expansion zone is being rejoined while other places are "reporting" similar activity, but when you finally stop it the zone doesn't change because devs are lazy and handwave it with "it will take years for effects to dissipate" like they always do. XIV has dogshit worldbuilding and interconnectivity after 2.X and all of 2.0-3.0 was just 1.0 stuff anyways.

>>715725696
8.0 is summer 2027 again. Expansions used to be 2 years apart consistently, now they're 3 years apart.

>>715725901
They will do 3 fanfests again
They will save everything for JP fanfest again

ded gaem

Why the hell is there a second thread?

>>715727031
The other thread fucking sucks

>>715726051
You are wrong, 8.0 is probably Early 2027, 7.4 is coming in January, that means 7.5 is early May 2027, they aren't going to have the game without any updates for a whole year.

>>715727587
>They aren't going to have the game without any updates for a whole year
Lol...

>>715727910
usually between the first X.5 patch and the release of the new expansion is just 8 months.

>>715725960
the zone doesn't change because devs are lazy
Anon, zones don't change because they want players to maintain access to older zones as they were for the sake of quests/farming/player cohesion. It's not a matter of being lazy, it's an intentional choice. You can still be mad at them, but be mad at them for the right reason.

It would have been cool if any of these sets had any kind of significance in the overworld. Instead everyone in Tural will still be wearing the same fucking poncho.

>>715729480
Sorry, but anyone who says they could tell Wuk's VA was trans with no prior knowledge. If you dislike the performance, fine. totally fair. But trying to say that you could tell is disingenuous, You knew beforehand or you're lying, simple as. He doesn't pass physically but he does pass sonically. At least be honest about it.

Well technically she did go to the festival of the birds from time to time but not much else.

>>715730052
>let's make Wuk take this pose to hide the other characters faces

>>715730014
I didn't know he was trans at first, but I knew that the voice sounded like shit.

Genuine question, what do they get out of not directly addressing feedback in regards to Wuk Lamat? Even if some people like her, it should be fairly simple to go "We've heard your feedback, we'll no longer put focus on this character."
It can't even be fear of backlash from that crowd, because her very existence is causing more backlash than they ever could.
I just don't get it. There's no benefits to this stubbornness. Not financially, not for their reputation, not for their game. Nothing.

>>715730254
imo the story is already written and no one of tural will be with us after 7.4, so there was no point. The damage is done either way, so they hope to cost along and get more people on board with the next expansion MSQ.

>>715730515
I mean I understand 7.1 not being salvageable, but 7.2 and 7.3 still having the same issues after 8 and 12 months respectively is just strange in that case.
I guess it could just be that their development pipeline is too strict for any actual changes to occur once its in production but even then with the quantity of backlash Dawntrail received you'd think they'd have a killswitch of some kind to make changes.

>>715730254
They don't know which stance is the right to take, which is why they ran to "consultants" in the first place.
It was kinda popular among companies to do at the time, and for some it still is.

Personally, 7.2 and probably 7.3 don't work for me because I don't feel much for Sphene and Calyx is a shitty villain imo along with a general apathy for Tural in general. Wuk is really a non factor in any of the patch MSQ.

Yeah I can see why the devs put modern shit in when you get reactions like that.

can I marry Alisaie yet?

>>715730674
People like these are the reason why the first half of 7.0 was so tame and boring in the first place.
They should seriously stop trying to appeal to real life cultures in the future, so this kind of shit doesn't happen anymore.

>>715730254
It's a corpo speak issue. Squeenix is ultimately a publicly traded company, so going out and saying 'Hey, this intentional choice we made was bad' in any official public stance creates a lack of trust in the eyes of the shareholders. It's the same issue with Forked Tower they said they'll work towards addressing issues, but didn't officially apologize for anything that wasn't an actual unintended bug.
It's stupid, but that's how upper level shareholder dealings work.

>>715730891
forum trolls exist you know
given the seeming random nature of the post being shared it's probably his own

>>715730913
According to the LL they will release the first bit of 'companionship' content featuring Y'shtola and Estinien in 7.4. If I had to guess they will release Alisaie after the inevitable time skip.

>>715731037

>>715730674
>every awful post is from either a femhroth, viera, or a malera

Yep, this. Corporate communication needs to go through several layers of abstraction in order to ensure that they cannot be accountable for anything that is said.
Which means no promises, no apologies, no personal stories, nothing that pisses off the payment processing companies, no religious statements, etc..

>>715731178
They look at both, and Squeenix stock is doing well over the year of DT release. Even though it leans into a lot of factors other than XIV, because of that upward trend, if someone near the top says 'We did bad, we will go another direction' shareholders think that direction is down.
The real problem is that shareholders naturally treat companies as another man's cow. They don't care about the health of the cow, they just want the milk.

>>715716279
>>femhroth has a hat

Yeah and you notice how her ears are missing? What the fuck is the point of letting them wear hats if they're just gonna cut off their ears? Fucking MODDERS have managed to not only let every race wear hats but even give each Headwear special sockets for the ears to go through, and they did this YEARS ago.

I keep seeing retards praise these new hat options but they ignore the fact that ears are still being cut off. Why even bother then?

I forget the specifics but there was a Yoshi interview where it was pretty much writing on the wall. I'm expecting Zeus given all the lightning.
Athena = wisdom = obvious
Hades = afterlife = obvious
Hermes = messenger = meteion
I don't recall any of the others. Zeus in addition to lightning would be rulership, kicking the shit out of ancient evils (Titans) so that doesn't quite fly, hur-dur sexing but that isn't applicable here.

>>715699347
I think 8.0 will be fine and I fucking hate DT so much, people'll be willing to give it a shot without necessarily a 1.0 style calamity. But a good hook will help.

We still have plenty of Ascians left and It's pretty much 100% certain that some Ascian had a hand in the Stormsurge.
But I think an Ascian just whispered sweet nothings into a desperate to survive Calyx's ears and now Calyx wants everyone to experience the joys of immortality.

>>715730674
I can only pray SE doesn't listen to these retards with too much time on their hands who spend that time circlejerking on Bluesky.

>>715731950
They don't necessarily have to all be Olympians either. Athena was used for someone outside the Convocation, while Themis who was not an Olympian was used for Elidibus. Calyx could be something like Daedalus, Icarus, maybe Tantalus for the extra FFIX reference.

>>715728583
to be honest i knew with 6.5 that DT will be ass with this fucking hroth

>>715702872
ARR and HW dungeons worse though, im not lamenting their loss
No, no they were “soulful” they were shit
The issue is these devs just can’t and won’t do good casual dungeons because their design requires effort to complete and dungeons are normalfag tier that need to be done while you are comatose.


The good dungeons are shit like CLL, DRS, Forked Tower, Dalriada, BA but you have to jump through hoops to get do those, and when you do they require effort but your reward is a more fun experience.

>>715704179
It was better than 7.0-7.1 but yes it wasn’t “good” but maybe 7.3 will be if the trend continues

>>715728583
Gonna be honest, I was able to stand Wuk Lamat in 7.0 more than 6.55.
Yeah, I know that's fucking weird, but something about the way she was voiced set me off worse than during Dawntrail.
That's not to say I thought 7.0 was good, but on the Wuk end, I was expecting to be far, far more frustrated with her mere existence after 6.55. That might be why I didn't have as much sheer rage for her as some.
I still want her to fuck off, though.

>>715732348
I mean Calyx is 100% a play on the greek Kalyx which means "husk"... so he already has a greek name like Hades and all the others.

>>715704179
Most people agree on that, though?

>>715698105
Fundamentally just wait for 8.0 and buy an MSQ skip. Or Do a calculation of
>will it cost more to sub for one month + MSQ skip (25 bucks or so) + expansion
Or
>Will it cost more to sub to catch up on 7.0-7.55, then the expansion.
You'd need to clear all of 7.x in one patch cycle to avoid it becoming as much as the MSQ skip. So it's doable, but it'd also likely embitter you towards 8.0. That's why having done 7.0 and having briefly tried to do 7.1 and deciding the first quest was to go to the taco stand being too much for me that I'll just wait until 8.0 and do the MSQ skip. It is the worst story experience in the entire game and I am legit concerned it's permanently soured me on it but I suspect if I jsut msq skip and 8.0 is -acceptable-, not even great just -acceptable-, that I can at least return to enjoying it like I did HW and SB rather than being contemptuous of it.

>>715732348
Good point. I wasn't familiar for tantalus so I looked him up and his bit makes me wonder if we might get a Prometheus in the future. Or what Azem might be in Greek, since Prometheus has a bit of the vibe in terms of being a friend of mankind. But Jason (adventure) could work, Hercules could work, or maybe Christos.

>>715732608
Over-pronunciating Spanish shit in 6.55? It's been too long for me to recall, but I remember when I did the patch at first I went "Oh this isn't so bad" and then very quickly it became
>Yes, this is very bad.
Fucking ARR level dogshit voice acting. OR worse.

>>715706916
Im not a fan of splitting content on the patch
Why the hell is tue deep dungeon not on release at 7.3?

if you let it get demolished, you don't play the game
you're seething about a game you don't play
think about it, you (retard) will seethe eternally at a game you don't play

>>715702872
Can you remind us what Heavensward brought us?

>>715732652
It's not a name from mythology though. But checking on that, I see it's related to wedding pottery. Which was what Pandora's "box" actually was, it was a vase. He could be Pandora.
>>715732719
>I wasn't familiar for tantalus so I looked him up and his bit makes me wonder if we might get a Prometheus in the future.
I always thought Lahabrea should have been Prometheus since he brought summoning to mankind.
>Or what Azem might be in Greek
My money is on Odysseus.

I don't know. It's also been so long that I can't remember entirely.
I just remember very palpably wincing every time Wuk talked in 6.55. If I felt the same way for 7.0, I think I probably wouldn't even have finished 7.0's MSQ with how prevalent she is.
Again, I'm absolutely not saying 7.0 was good, but holy fuck was I filled with dread when Wuk first showed up. I remember being heavy on the "holy fuck get this VA out of my face it sounds so obviously wrong" train back then. Remember? When the "transphobia" accusations first popped up?

Beach episode WHEN??

hi
yoshida san here
i now fix game because you all complained
yay

>>715731551
Their stock price is increasing because a Singaporean investment firm keeps buying their stock, not because their games are performing amazingly well. Their gachas keep shuttering, XIV is tanking, XVI flopped, Rebirth flopped, and DQ HD did fine. DQ doing decently isn't enough to singlehandedly even keep them afloat despite their repeated fuckups, let alone cause it to soar naturally.

>>715732929
I would be surprised if the expansion ends without at least a single beach cutscene.

>>715732869
It is just weird to have these very prominent XI bosses being clowned around by some random lizard. To put it into perspective, it would be as if they pulled out Endsinger or Zenos as little raid boss just for the memberberries in XVII

>>715732990
I'm not falling for that shit

>>715732929
Every single piece of this is custom in some way, they would be incredibly silly not to use it in the story in some way.

>>715733046
you get a beach cutscene with the newest member for the new scions Wuk lamat

>>715733175
Needs to be bigger.

>>715733226
Yeah but Sphene thanks.
>>715718764
XI raid is fun.

>>715732521
I wouldn't mind the odd normal dungeon releasing as a variant-lite with a few paths that split but ultimately still lead to the conclusion, but anyone clamoring for the return of old Toto-Rak is an idiot. Going down a dead end path just for a note and a chest with a gear piece you're going to toss in an hour if it's your first run isn't very engaging

>>715733302
Eald'narche will be voiced by Elidibus' VA to continue his role as 'voicing eternal shotas with an unfitting voice'

>>715733021
The stock was already on the upswing starting June 2024 before April and June 2025 when that company bought 5% in both months

soreel ja watched a let's play of XI and he made a big electrope hologram of it so there's ghosts talking about the auction house or a party asking what dropped from mobs

>>715733459
I hope variants aren't scrapped.
Variants are kinda cool alt ways of doing dungeons that also don't have to adhere to what's currently relevant.
Like when we got Thanalan, Hingashi and South Seas shit during Endwalker.

>>715733021
And? None of that matters to the shareholder. The shareholder doesn't care about the health of the company, it doesn't care about the product of the company, all it cares about is that the value of the stock increases.

Didn't realize how disinterested I was with FF until watching some of Star resonance. God I just want a fresh MMO

Precisely, which is why people acting like everything is going great because of rising stock prices are gonna be in for a rude awakening when SE gets pump & dump'd.

what would be the job has the most loss of dps if you happen to fuck up the rotation?

>>715730674
If you guys pay close attention, you'll notice that all the posters (including the op) in that thread complaining about this "issue" ARE LITERALLY (1 post by this account). They're all accounts that have never posted before this thread, amd mysteriously cams out if nowhere in unison to complain about this.

Why it's almost as if........

>>715733849
NIN, not even close at this point.

>>715733818
:^)

>>715733893
well, it feels like there's a lot of inorganic shit surrounding xiv discourse so this would just be another example of it

>>715733897
thats the only job im not familiar with, even worse than monk if you fuck up just before phamton rush?

>>715730014
>he does pass sonically
bruh

>>715733821
Yes. You should always respond with disdain at people who use stock prices as a metric for something doing good, because they're either a shareholder, or a corpophile. The reason I posted Squeenix stock prices was in a response to
>it's weird that these shareholders look more at the words and less at their shrinking wallets
to show that for the shareholders, their wallets aren't shrinking.

>>715730674
Based

>>715734027
Yes. NIN has so many varying cool downs that always need to sync perfectly up in their 60/120 second window and very little in between. So if you fuck your opener/TA window up you are unable to recover, since your filler combo does very, very little damage and you might as well wall if shit is ever drifting.

It is also supremely gimped in AoE damage since all its big buttons basically double for single target damage.
With BLM fixed, NIN is the last 'old era' style job that urgently needs a fix, since they will never change the DDR shit at this point.

>>715733893
Funnily enough, I made an account on the forum now just so I could say they were good and I liked em.

>>715734027
The pity blitz still does okay damage and it doesn't drop your buffs or anything
MNK basically plays itself if you follow the flashing lights

Is Calyx the worst enemy they've ever had? Who thought this little pussy would ever be threatening? Is it a Japanese trope thing?

Hiroi theater slop. Hes even in a stupid little named factiom that he loves to put in that dont matter in the long run.

NOTHING SUSPICIOUS HERE FOLKS, NOPE

>>715696682 (OP)
Is 7.3 the final DT patch before we get the prepatches for the next expansion or are they doing another EW with 5 patches instead?

>>715734619
end of dawntrail

>>715734371
No?

>>715734196
For some reason it's always random (white) Highlander dudes making dangerously based posts on the OF.

>>715734696
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY based

>>715733893
These “people” legitimately have zero fucking life’s and think yoshi cares what westerns say. The only change stuff for japs

>>715734619
Good news, EW and it's 5 patch long story was just an exception.

>>715734608
I find the one poster who's join date was 2013 and only has 1 post, which is in that thread is the most suspicious

>>715734619
7.3 is the end of post-DT. 7.4 will be the beginning of pre-*next expansion*

>>715734619
I really hope they just kill off calyx and move on already but the transistion just based on the website pictures and trial alone make it not seem so.
>3-5 exposition quests
>dungeon cutscenes

I can only hope YoshiP and co. don't kowtwo to this inane garbage.

>>715734696

>>715734696
Every game that has tried a content update with that setting always ended up as a flop, we just need to admit that south america is cursed.

>>715734774
YoshiP listening to westerners is how we got Criterion dungeons.

>>715735025
chaotic alliance raids ackchully

>>715735025
Variants are fine in an expansion that has a foray (not EW).
Criterions just need to be less ballbusty.

What kind of fat cuck wastes his whole life grinding every job in a dead nip mmo? Maining bitch healer, no less. K E K

Remind me, when is the Occult Crescent updates? Is it 7.35 for some raid + new sub jobs or 7.45?
Which means North Horn would either be 7.45 or 7.55 depending on the above and 7.55 is probably like 9-12 months out.

>>715735249
next update is 7.45 for more phantom jobs.

GOOGLE DOCCY

>>715730254
It is genuinely weird, YoshiP is very upfront about criticism with the game and goes into detail about why things happened and the changes they will or won’t do.
But when it comes to this it’s like he’s being fed bad info or something and maybe part of him doesn’t want to risk pissing off his writing team
That or the entire team is trying to just ignore the criticisms because of the “icky social issues involved”

>>715735025
I honestly think that was him listening to that goblin but I don’t mind it because it’s lore and mounts/minions

Here he goes

>>715735173
It's not that hard to level jobs is XIV

That particular post I had was targeting the Sami bitching about that one glamour they added in EW. Applicable here, though, too.

>>715735370
Canonizing the Byakko/Suzaku/Seiryu and Tsukuyomi EX katanas was fun

Even posters on the OF forums have noticed how suspicious it us that literally all of the accounts complaining about these glams are from -5 post accounts, some of which being years old and yet never posting until that thread, as if they were all simultaneously activated to force this fake outrage.

Something is going on here. Any theories?

>>715735173
cuckoli is a known /xivg/ lolcow and diaperfag

>>715735249
7.35 (presumably) is for a new relic step.
7.45 for a new relic step, new Phantom Jobs and (HOPEFULLY) a new raid with a normal mode.
7.55 is for the next zone (North Horn), a new relic step and a new raid.

>>715730651
7.2 was baked in the oven before they had a chance to course correct, though it does seem like they were able to make some small changes
7.3 idk, the general idea of things was probably set but they have room to fix stuff

>>715735105
The criterion NPC is literally named after Asmongold because he asked for hard 4-man content like mythic in an interview. It's the ultimate proof that the dev team can't adjust and make new content quickly.

There he is. There he goes again
Look everyone he posted it once again! Isn't he just the funniest guy around?? Oh my god.
I can almost see your pathetic overweight frame glowing in the dark lit by your computer screen which is the only source of light in your room giggling like a little girl as you once again type your little folder dumpy post up and fill in the captcha. Or maybe you don’t even fill in the captcha, maybe you’re such a disgusting NEET that you actually paid for a 4chan pass so you just choose the picture. Oh we all know the picture, the uh epic FF14 is dying isn’t it? I imagine you, little shit, laughing so hard as you click it that you drop your Doritos onto the floor. But its ok, your mother will clean it up in the morning. Oh that’s right, did I fail to mention? You live with your mother! You’re a fat fucking fuck up and she’s probably so sick of you already. So sick of having to do everything for you all god damn day, every day, for a grown man who spends all his time on 4chan posting about his dumb FF14 folder dumpy meme. Just imagine this, she had you and then she thought you were going to be a scientist or an astronaut or something grand and then you became a NEET. A pathetic folder dumpy posting NEET. She probably cries herself to sleep everyday thinking about how bad it is and how she wishes she could just disappear. She can’t even talk try to you because all you say is "FF14 is dying".
You became a parody of your own self. And that’s all you are. A sad little man laughing in the dark by himself as he prepares to indulge in the same old dance that he’s done a million times now.
And that’s all you’ll ever be.

>>715735458
I don't fucking know, but it's probably gay ops again.
Everything about XIV lately seems fraught with gay ops, and it's getting so tiresome.

Read the rest. Multiple people are going "ACKCHUALLY I AM 1/15th SOUTH AMERICAN AND I AM OUTRAGED." and "I AM NOT SOUTH AMERICAN, BUT I FEEL FOR MY SOUTH AMERICAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS NO HUMAN SHOULD FEEL THIS WAY"

They make healers fun yet?

>>715735606
>It's the ultimate proof that the dev team can't adjust and make new content quickly
Wouldn't it be proof they CAN do that? If they can just make new content because some streamer asked them 2 months before an expach launches then the pipeline isn't as strict as they make out.
the answer is no they can't and variants were made independent of a streamer. Something like Chat Bubbles is taking them a much longer time and they aren't 1/10 the amount of effort variants are

>>715735807
play a dps

>>715735620
Knowing that these are the kinds of troons still subbed to this game makes me cheer on the shitposters.

i hope they have calyx die in the patch i wont come back for this but i am hoping next expansion will be interesting enough for me to sub again

>>715735880
but what does this have to do with the kate golbez armor demystification

>>715735620
I kinda want the middle cat

>>715735838
If variants were made because of a streamer they'd be m+ cancer mode.
Instead they're just dungeons with a few paths you do once and savage dungeons.

>>715696682 (OP)
>Wuk still on the splash art
Yeah nah

>>715735275
>>715735554
I guess see you guys in a long fucking time. Again.
If they do another Relic quest in 7.3 like they did with Bozja's magical "Run Crystal Tower 30 times" non-sense (don't give a fuck if it was one time only) then I'll be moderately upset.

Anyways, make sure to not BAD END on the bee, can't go adventuring in 8.0 if you're pregnant. Same for Dancing Green really.

>>715736045

>>715734619
It would be amazing if the expansion just ended at 7.3 and we could all move on to 8.0, but unfortunately that would violate The Sacred Formula to which SE must always adhere, so we’re stuck in DT for another 2 years

>>715736285
yes

Right, I forgot that somehow.

I going to trade you this image for information, can you minimum ilvl synch Arcadion raids to create the conditions so the fight isn't a complete pushover?

I want to do the 7.2 raids in 7.4 / 7.5 without just fucking ruining them like every other raid in the game that allows WAY TO GOD DAMN HIGH ilvl synchs. Shit you not the entirety of ShB and below is ruined by sky high fucking ilvls, F2P version of the game is just ass.

Did they really change how Black Mage worked? Is it just like all the rest now?

I wouldn’t mind have high end content be the first iteration of a boss you see and an extreme wouldn’t be a bad level to do that at

>>715734371
Absolutely not, he’s not even the worst villain this expansion, have you just not played the game at all?

>>715738117
imagine being a fresh sprout and ifrit extreme is the first trial

remember, garuda normal was considered a filter back in 2.0

My unwarranted opinion? I agree that there shouldn't have been conquistador outfits, I'd rather have some more peruvian or incan inspired outfits or some based on aztec battle wunsies we get have and get enough euro inspired sloppa as it is including the previous dungeon set.

Either that or make the gear sets based on FF9

>>715738114
It's brigading when it's not Titanmen doing it for once, completely organic when it is him.

>>715738204
>remember, garuda normal was considered a filter back in 2.0
No it wasn't. The only filter in 2.0 was Titan HM.

>>715738196
Who is worse?

>>715738278
... I didn't bring Titanmen up...? What, are you outraged over the outfits?

Just to warn you, we were not told we would be getting any kind of instanced content for the relic shit in 7.35 or 45
They really should have content but they didn’t actually specify anything.
They said we would get mew phantom jobs but they didn’t say when.

>>715738281
dumb nigger titan hm wasn't a filter. it was literally endgame

people were quitting because they couldn't beat garuda hm. stone vigil too

its funny how you could see when the schizos woke up and completely derailed the thread

All in all it was a better thread than most

>>715738387
>he isn't a schizo
Get out sane fag, I'm in your fucking walls

Did you notice the week long absence of google doc/folder dumpy spam? I sure did.
Did you notice the simultaneous week long absence of folder dumping? I sure did.

When Titan HM was 1st made MSQ mandatory, it WAS a huge filter. I was there, helping people clear it with my FC

>>715738410
And before that?

>>715738519
titan hm wasn't made MSQ mandatory till 3.4. by then it was effectively a dungeon boss

but i do believe you. people underestimate just how bad the average player is

>>715738379
I am only assuming 7.45 will have a new raid because it's also when we get new phantom jobs, and what's the point of only using them on 7.25's Occult Crescent zone alone?
And Bozja got a raid in 7.35, 7.45, and 7.55. OC was added in 7.25 so it got a raid then, but I'm still expecting it to get one in 7.45 and 7.55 since both those patches add to it, whereas 7.35 doesn't really.

It is substantially less engaging and less interesting to play
Most of the nuance and FUN was removed in 7.0-7.2
It’s genuinely easier than most jobs.
RDM is somehow now one of the hardest classes in the game. It’s the luigi mario party gif

>>715738265
I agree because I want to make a sexy tribal woman glam.

Ive got a 91 in it and several other purples, and you really just gotta be fake melee.
The 8min is so cucked for you that it almost ruins the fight.
At least the phase 2 strat where healers always take the tether stuck on NA
