Thread 715707332

Why didn't they make modern casual or sci-fi gear? This looks so out of place in the game.

xiv gear used to look like this

>>715707332 (OP)

>>715707332 (OP)
What game is this? Sure doesn’t look like the FFXIV that we all play and love.

>>715707402
>>715707431
These look like shit in game though. Especially the second one becuase it's an older set and the cloth doesn't have physics. If they remade it that would be good though

>>715707332 (OP)
Why didn't they add more Yugiri? The rest of the girls look so out of place standing next to the Warrior of Light

>>715711669
You can tell women made these because of the tattoos and random nonsense piercings.

>>715707332 (OP)
Because these fucking rule and you should shut the fuck up faggot. What do you want, fucking cybergear in a fantasy setting? Or are you just mad you can’t goon to this?

>retvrn to eyepatches

>>715707332 (OP)
As per usual the tank set is trash.

I agree it’s a shitty blue but it’s better than nothing. I wish there was a fantasy game that went all out on doing historical fashion even slightly right. I take what I can get.

>>715711669
how fast would this game die if the xivlauncher would be not usable anymore and any mods?

>>715712142
Yugiri is never coming back. Kate only wants American coded, Queer coded characters. So a kunoichi that is loyal and subservient to a royal that is a samurai is a big no-no these days.

>Yoshida during the LL: Go play other stuff. Play MonHun.
>Yoshida now: Please! Please come back!!
Did his boss put his balls in a vice or something?

>>715713329
Kate doesn't decide that

>>715713201
I can excuse a sleeve tat as long as it isn't something trashy like the hyur's.

Can't stand that shit

How would the Alliance/Scions react if Nanamo randomly started wearing different, funny hats at each meeting?

>>715713445
I don't know what?
Did I miss when Kate was promoted to a level where she decides what characters appear in the story now?

yugiri is incompetent as shit (randomly lets yotsuyu wander around in public), retarded (hurr let's just ambush zenos who's pasted the entire nation, including yourself into the dirt) and ultimately inconsequential and boring
just because you want to give her a dicking doesn't make her a good character
or even a character, as in the case of y'shtolafags pretending their once-per-expansion magic conundrum solver has character development

>>715713249
Ninja is magnitudes harder than DRG, SAM, and VIP, but it has a cool aesthetic so people who suck at it play it anyway

>>715713450
Eh, I kinda get where you're coming from.. but if it were vines it'd look too much like a QoS tat.

>>715713445
You don't know either
Stop acting like you work on SE lmao

>>715713529
she's literally lead lore consultant

>>715713575
I wouldn't say magnitudes, the others just don't have a fail condition and you can play them mediocrely pressing everything on CD but I reeaaaallly don't know if
>people who suck at it play it anyway
It's the least played melee

>>715707332 (OP)
Personally, I need more cowboy shit

>>715713607
...for the English translation

>>715713529
Anon. Everything in DT she had a direct hand in. From who got cast, to how the story went. If she wasn't deeply involved more than she would be she wouldn't have been raging for months over the slightest criticism. There's also the fact that Wuk Lemat's VA was a nepo hire and that the character was written with the VA in mind.

>>715713417
It could have been so much more and started off well, but it's fallen so hard in the past few years.

>>715713607
Yeah, for the localization team.
Oda is still the big boss there. The localization team shouldn't change a thing without consulting with Oda and the Scenario writer.
Bitch tried to slip some shit, but it didn't went unnoticed.

>>715707332 (OP)
yeah this is what looks out of place not the ridiculous modern bullshit, god I hate you people so fucking much. bullet to the brain, no exaggeration, it's what you deserve. all I can do is simply hope and pray that you develop inoperable cancer

>>715713685
>It's the least played melee
Yes, but the people who play it are diehards even though a lot of them suck

>>715713529

check >>715713607 and yes Kathryn Cwynar is the main Reason that we got Wuk Lamat and this horrible MSQ because she is not only the Lead for Localisation but also the Lead for Lore and since she has this job FFXIV is so fast driving into the wall thats funny

>>715713776
>autist can't into satire and thus has autistic meltdown
Like pottery.

>>715713249
it's fine, with the exception of RPR who's somehow become the hardest melee job after SAM and MNK got lobotomized again. If you play VPR for 1 hour and then try RPR afterwards, it feels like straight up dogshit, Perfectio and the shitty Gluttony drift make every bit of downtime suddenly a race of uncucking your gauges

>>715713745
You do realise that the lead lore consultant role also impacts the other languages right?
>Koji Fox wrote the lore for the dragons and their language
>Kate did most of the Pixie lore

>>715713793
And back to my original question, if it's harder than them why is DRG and MNK just overall better? It's hard to find a fight where 95th percentile NIN beats them
>>715713853
I didn't like the RPR changes at all, adding another GCD to its burst was a mistake

>>715713886
Koji Fox should now every day smash his head into the desk that he left ffxiv for FF16 and gave this woke bitch Kate his Role as Lead of Lore and Loc

>>715713810
It's actually pretty fucking hilarious how the moment she has free reign and wasn't going off what Koji Fox had started that the game goes to shit and the writing takes a SHARP dip.

>>715710337
you're right, this is a normal FFXIV thread, or at least it was until the usual suspects got the alert and raided it

>>715713886
>>715713810
None of that means she decides what characters appear in the game. Lore and the actual scenario writing are too different things, and if she actually made those kinds of decisions her job title would include that.
Kate fucking sucks but you are putting too much blame on her when others should be called out as well

>>715713810
>Kathryn Cwynar is the main Reason that we got Wuk Lamat and this horrible MSQ
You are retarded, and I'm not sure you're pretending anymore.
The main reason why we got Wuk was Yoshida. And to be honest, the JP version of Wuk isn't nearly as bad as the EN version. The annoying quirks of the EN localization aren't present in JP. You would know if you knew basic japanese.
And the story is Hiroi.
Kate only can affect the English localization, nothing more.
Even her biggest triumph (non binary faeries and loporrits) are only in the English version.
So again, if you aren't pretending to be retarded just to shitpost, I might start feel sorry for you.

>>715713971
She 100% pretended she wasn't a completely woke freak until she got into w position that she wouldn't be easily dislodged from. Seriously, look at the first few times she popped up. Yeah she was weird, but she didn't give off that 'woke crusader' vibe until Wuk Lemat was partially shown off.

I just want my geopolitics back
MCUslop where everyone bonds over tacos and ice cream is boring

>>715713886
Koji joined the team when it was a small one. Nowadays, they don't need the stupid gaijin making stupid shit.

>>715714162
Yes, I love shitposting and provoking reactions like that.

But it can't be right that a character like Wuk Lamat, who has only been around since 7.0, has the most voiced lines since FFXIV 2.0 was released.

The fact that Yoshi-P approved this shows that he's probably smoking too much weed or whatever.

The problem with VPR is that it feels good to play in short bursts but I get retarded if I play it for too long.

>>715714162
>the JP version of Wuk isn't nearly as bad as the EN version. The annoying quirks of the EN localization aren't present in JP.
Yes they fucking are. That's part of why the Jap fans fucking hate her so damn much. She's the only goddamn character that is consistent with her writing across all languages.

>>715714426
So what does this "person" actually do within the company?
Most I can find is
>Her position as an Outside Director suggests an advisory or oversight role within the company's governance structure

>>715714345
It is fun but it just underperforms compared to the others
You could argue that VPR and RPR are niche jobs
VPR for a fight with many adds and RPR for lots of downtime? But then why is the average NIN and VPR lower than MNK/SAM and DRG
I brought it up yesterday but striking jobs are eating good, maiming jobs are eating good but scouting jobs seem to be suffering and I don't trust
>Well ackshually the 95th percentile ninjas are better!
That means they're doing something different no?

>>715714162
I don't understand how people are glossing over Hiroi. The man has written the 4.2 quest in which everyone including the WoL has suddenly lost 30 IQ points, Pandaemonium which lost all of its steam from 9-12 including a random Elidibus fight shove-in for no reason, the fucking BRD quests which are second only to PLD in how absolutely nonsensical they get and was an assistant to Matsuno for Ivalice (which they both somehow managed to make boring) and Bozja (Misija dindu nuffin and everything got magically resolved offscreen)

>>715713324
within a week if not overnight
90% of the current dawntrail playerbase are just ESL's and autistic gooners trapped in the habit of logging in to this particular game

if the veil is lifted by mods being banned, the xiv gooners will quickly realize they've been duped into paying a subscription for what's effectively just a shittier version of secondlife

>>715714340
>The fact that Yoshi-P approved this shows that he's probably smoking too much weed or whatever.
Again, JP Wuk is fine. A little bit too overexposed, but that's it. The smarminess and dumb quirkiness mixed with the voice of a femboy are only a thing of the English version.
I didn't even hate Sena at the beginning. But then I realized his voicework was rough, he was acting unprofessional on social media and tried to make the Bridget VA to step down for being a woman.
Since I played with JP voices, I don't hate Wuk nearly as much as I hate Sena. The ones who played with EN voices... well, me and many others tried to warn you. And some of you chose EN voices just to be pissed.

>>715714614
Oh he's definitely also to blame. The problem is that he's doing it out of spite.

>>715714608
>rpr for lots of downtime
The opposite, RPR is the job by far hardest cucked by downtime, it can't build its gauge or do anything. RPR excels in dummy fights and bursting down end phases of ultimates, that's about it.

>>715714346
No, they aren't. You are welcome to show me side by side translation and localization.
JP Wuk is way more humble thanks to Japanese culture
EN Wuk is like frey from forspoken.

>>715714802
you're insane if you don't think PVE would see a massive exodus due to people losing their autopilot mods too

>>715714749
Oh yeah I can't even find any fight where RPR does better than 2 other melees
What the fuck happened?

>>715714426
I don't get your point. Can you name something that "thing" changed on the game?

7.3 having robots attack S9 again should have resulted in Hiroi getting crucified unless he pulls some incredible bait and switch there is literally no salvaging this

>>715714709
You may have played in JP, but you still read the ENG localisation, faggot. You are also casually glossing over how the Jap playerbase HATE Wuk Lemat, which is ironic because that's the same thing the ardent DT defenders do.

>>715714578
Oh yeah, forgot to mention. Japs were angry cause they sidelined Krile. Every time Wuk was on the screen, I was thinking "Krile should be the one here". Especially from S9 and onward

>>715714709
it seems like you love to take wuk lamats hairy cock deep into your mouth

>>715712997
"new"

>>715714614
He's glossing over him, cause he thinks this is twitter.
Being wrong on purpose just to farm (You)s.

>>715707332 (OP)
I am actually sad it's stuff like this. I liked the Vanguard aesthetic, and having pretty much two grounded dungeon sets in a row (Everkeep doesn't count since that's a reuse) is not that appealing to me on top of the Historia sets in 7.2 and the 7.2 crafted set.
But it's fine. I don't consider a glam I don't like a personal affront since there's probably gonna be plenty more gear before the expansion is over.
Hopefully the PvP set this time around is better than the 7.1 one, though.

>>715714614
>>715715143
is there a full list who write which questline in ffxiv?

Is Square Enix unable to check the chatlogs of deleted characters? I dropped the n-word in public to get my account deleted and deleted the character and assumed I got banned.
I checked back a month later and despite saying the n-word a few hundred times, I'm fine.
I wonder if their system is so dogshit they can't check shit like that.

>>715715301
if they cant even add more housing wards or glamourer plates then its just normal that the log system is still dated to FFXIV 1.0

>>715715301
I think you just get short bans at first like a 3-day or a 10-day, even for niggerspam. You have to be really heinous to get instantly perma'd.
That's just based on hearsay though, I've never been gaoled despite talking about plugins in /say every day.

>>715714873
RPR was always easy to pick up, kinda sweaty to optimize due to being very strict in GCD order and gauge building. They added Perfectio which made its windows even more strict, which resulted in Gluttony reverse drifting. You are forced to hold it which normally doesn't cause THAT much of an issue... except fights have downtime and in the case of m6s, AoE portions. 2+ GCDs worth of downtime means having to rearrange your whole burst on a fight by fight basis, otherwise doing your normal rotation will cause parts of your burst to fall out of Arcane Circle.

>>715715301
probably nobody gave enough of a shit to report you, yelling NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER in a crowded bus is baby stuff

you're gonna have to do something a lot more heinous if you want mass reported and immediately permanently banned instead of just being given an infraction

>>715714956
>You may have played in JP, but you still read the ENG localisation
Yeah, and I could still listen to the JP voices and noticed discrepancies.
As a general rule. Localization team has free reign on changing trivial lines, like expressions, affirmations and some other small things to add flavor.
They aren't allowed to change vital lore information or how the world operates, cause that would show dissonance between what's said and what's showed.
The 95% of Rite of Succession was inconsequential for the rest of the story. You'll see the most amount of discrepancies between the JP and the EN script in the culinarian contest. Where EN Wuk was acting all smug and royally, but JP Wuk was humble and even grateful for having WoL's help.
I'm not defending the story. Most of DT is trash compared to EW and ShB. But you, thinking that both scripts are the exact same is retarded. And you even conceded by saying "yeah, but you still read the EN one".
That's why I don't like dubbed shit.

I haven’t gotten to Dawntrail yet, but everything looks so weird and out of place. My understanding is that it’s supposed to be a lighthearted filler break from the heavy shit that happened in Endwalker? Is that accurate?

>You are also casually glossing over how the Jap playerbase HATE Wuk Lemat, which is ironic because that's the same thing the ardent DT defenders do.
They probably do that because nobody here cares what the Japanese players think or want. Also, they're insane. Zodiark Trancers wish they had the dedication and sheer blind anger and contempt that the Japanese forums do over completely meaningless drivel. It's not based that Yoshida has to keep telling them to fucking behave themselves in live letters, they're just animals.

>>715715810
I like the gap closer having no damage so it's pure utility, but I don't care for the dash. Should just be a jump.

>>715707332 (OP)
Does anyone really like eyepatches? I mean, we got them as facewear now.

>>715715963
Yeah it should at least be a literal jump into air and land next to opponent. I'm still mad Estinien uses jumps for actual locomotion and travel in-game and in the short stories, I want a long-jump "yourself as a mount" deal for Dragoon. Make me repeatedly land and high-jump like a trampoline when flying.

Who deserves more love femra or femzens?

>>715716060
Nah that shit always feels like a cop out. I also dislike the distinct lack of new full face helmets.

>>715716146
Full helms are pretty much constantly at a dearth, but we did just get one with the tomestone fending and maiming gear.

>>715716091
Would b neat. They really don't emphasize Dragoon mobility enough. Fuckers manipulate wind aspect to propel themselves through the air.

This
isn't relevant to the post you're replying to???
Hang it up man nobody cares what the Japs think

>>715716362
That seems to be a gameplay limitation given a lore aspect just to make it not seem too weird that he's not darting around.
The only reason I can stomach the DRG dash is because it's kinda like the dashes we see the WoL do during the ShB cinematic. Just... on the ground, instead of forming magical platforms in the air to spring off.

>>715716329
I'm not reading all that. But going by that pic, it has nothing to do with Wuk and everything to do with Hiroi's script
What's your point?

The conversation is about who's actually responsible for the character's existence and wrote it, not the reception, the reception is totally fucking irrelevant as is trying to lean on the Japanese as a pillar of opinion legitimacy

Guy responded to a post about who wrote it with WELL LET'S SEE THE JAPANESE'S OPINION THEN

The story in general basically died with 4.5. Shadowbringers was cool and all, but fundamentally it killed the game by steering it on a course it can never correct. We can never go back to the things I actually enjoyed about the plot and setting in general. Everything is just shards and Ancients from here on out.

Honestly I can't say how many people would actually bite for job-agnostic glamouring further than the existing sets, I feel there are enough options for each job that you can go outside of your intended theming if you REALLY have a mind to, even if you're pigeon-holed into a select few sets like the Crystarium armor.

Alright, it's exhausting giving attention to someone who was the retention of a goldfish.
Remember that Kate was the root of this argument? Well, Kate didn't write the JP script. And despite the JP script being bad, it wasn't nearly as bad as the EN one.
And you'd know that if you played with JP voices and knew basic japanese.
That's all. Be mad all you want. Maybe the other anons on the thread will keep feeding you (You)s, or just resort to samefag as always

It wouldn't DIE die but there'd be a pretty huge piss-off wave. Mind you XIVLauncher's QoL BEGINS at one-click logins. What would be the point of killing that when you're just gonna piss everybody off? Le sickness must be le purged?

Thinking about resubbing, how is SGE right now? And other healers in general?

I want my Dark Knight to be able to wear the Cryptlurker Maiming hood and I am mad that that cannot be done.

>>715717448
sge is good i think there's no reason to not play double shield if you'll raid, sge+sch is just comfy if you both know what you're doing

>>715717448
SGE is more or less as it was in Endwalker but it now has a Eukrasian version of Dyskrasia so you can cast a DoT onto a group (you can't stack it with the single target DoT)
>>715717496
Closest you'll get is the Neo-Kingdom fending hood

>>715717448

Why are you bringing up Kate now? And you keep insisting on Wuk not being bad in JP just because it's a different VA, yet there's plenty of evidence proving japanese players also hate Wuk.

Yeah, which might be alright in 7.3 with the hair in hood thing. But it's not the same vibe. In this case, it's useful that it's a helm with a hood. Neo Kingdom's just a hood.

They've been using AI for armor design this expansion and it's really starting to show. It was never more obvious than with the 7.1 dungeon set

So is dungeon gear and Alliance Raid gear the only gear we're getting this patch?
Also what are we expecting Alliance Raid gear to look like?

>>715717997
dungeon gear, alliance raid gear, PvP series set, probably deep dungeon weapons, probably another relic weapon step later in the patch

Alright, no, this is a complete unwillingness to engage with the character as she is written, you came in swinging with something that's already not true. She's a moron and the story repeatedly tells you this, doesn't change after she's become Dawnservant either.

Nothing you say has any value because you won't engage with the character as she is written.

Why did they stop adding skins for weapons? Dark Knight with Scythe looks sick.

Wuk Lamat has no defenders we know what you're doing just get the foldy dumpy over with

>>715718534
It’s not a false flag, that guy is genuine. There is an unironic wuk lamat defender who sits in these threads 24/7 desperately trying to derail all possible criticisms that people levy against the expansion. And he does it all for free

>>715718664

>>715716586
Who is writing all of the stuff involving Zeno and/or the twins, specifically Alisae? Because everything involving those two is basically kino.

>>715718758
There isn't even any defending happening, it's disagreeing with shitposters that she's worse than leprosy. It always goes like this, disagreeing with them is, somehow, running defense.

We all know Black Auracite is gonna return, right? There's an obvious reason for NotErichthonios pocketing it and us just letting him walk away with it despite what it has wrought.

>>715718967
Now that the dust has settled, was this character just explicitly making fun of players who thought the graphical update would actually be meaningful? He doesn't even do anything in the story, there was literally no reason to make him a thousand times more handsome than playable male roes.

>>715718758
"the game has other problems than just the MSQ" means you're a kate defending troon who ERPs on discord

>>715717987
There's no AI involved. It's just Ayumi Namae having a distinct set of design elements she favors: capes, buttcapes, ribbons/ties/ascots, lace etc.
She's been character/gear artist since ARR and lead since ShB.

>>715718758
>just get the foldy dumpy over with
kek, is he still doing this song and dance? I haven't checked these threads in a while. Does he still try to pretend he's an XIV player, start saying that he's played XIV longer than anyone else ever has and that he cares more than anyone else does about XIV, then start melting down and calling everyone defenders and saying they deserve a bad game, and then finally ends with him dumping his anti XIV folder?

Yoshi P hates male Roe, that's why every MSQ Roe is uniquely shaped. The developer themselves are basically admitting the sex of that race is ugly as fuck. Cannot imagine anyone more cucked than a male Roe player.

>>715719173
He was exposed as a trancer recently and runs an AI-slop youtube channel with the same schizo rants. Since then there's been less dumping.

>>715719173
Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. A Google doc surfaced recently thanks to one brave soldier spending five minutes to compile a bunch of image hashes and it set him off really bad that he can't folder dump anymore without it being tracked and added to a monument to his autism. Also it seems to still just be a zodiark trancer since there's an extremely similarly posting account on Twitter that roleplays as a paladin and likes/retweets hairy men all day.

>>715719435
I really have to wonder what causes someone to be like this and why Yoshida has garnered more than one of these schizos.

>>715719065
Nah, I think the problem with the graphical update is that they're having to adhere to the base character models. With this guy, they could make something from scratch.
XIV players had a conniption over like 1 pixel of difference on their character's face compared to 6.55. There's very little room to move there.
YoshiP has been hinting a customization update, so maybe then we'll get new faces and other stuff, and because they'll be totally new, they won't be bound to "BBb-b--b-BBUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MY CHARACTER ANYMORE WAAAH"

My own pet theory is it's mostly a lateral move from obsessive Nomura hate into obsessive Yoshida hate as "the face of Final Fantasy" changes, but I couldn't tell you what the obsessive Nomura hate was about in the first place

>>715719516
Stormblood was more fun to play through and better paced than Heavensward. Only fun parts of Heavensward were the final boss with the Elezen pope and the post MSQ story line. I will die on this hill. I took a seven year hiatus from the MMO during the Heavensward MSQ. That's how boring and poorly paced it was.

It was only immediately after I beat the final boss that my eyes brightened, my ears pricked up, and I thought to myself
>huh. This is getting interesting

I feel like Alexandria / Solution Nine wasn't part of the initial plan, and that halfway through production they lost confidence in the initial premise of the expansion so they did a lot of rewrites and shoehorned it in. We'll see if they feel like they have to redo Amaurot for a 4th time in 8.0 I guess.

>>715720154
As a professional jerker to Rouge and Amy I disavow anything to do with zodiark trancers on even a conceptual level, Sonic autists largely translate that manic energy into creative pursuits.

We're already at the 4th time in 7.3. And I don't mind it myself as it beats shit that I feel nothing for like Aetherochemical, but I'm not gonna pretend it's not the case either.

>>715718883
>you should have figured that out
I didn't have to figure it out, it was stated out loud, just badly resolved. I really liked Erichtonios and I was really curious to see how stuff would unfold now that he started smoothing things out with Lahabrea, only for those characters to be replaced with shades that basically do nothing other than say 'we have to stop athena!'
>elidibus being sane and lucid
The moment of lucidity that he got at the end of 5.3 had a lot more weight than being reformed as shade to fight you. The final scene with Elidibus being more or less restored is not bad, but the whole time I felt that this was just them trying to shove a resolution in as fast as possible and milk the previous moments. The rains line and Ere Our Curtain Falls were much better delivered.
>it's a bad thing for Ivalice to be mentioned
no what's bad is what matsuno and hiroi have done to Ivalice which is turn it into a boring referential setting that could be replaced with virtually anything else. Then again almost nobody on the XIV team has done a good callback to the games they're usually pulling from. Ivalice raids have some of the worst quests in the game and just refer to things from that world without ever actually going anywhere with it. In Ivalice references specifically, Nybeth Obdilord can travel from world to world... except he does nothing with that! What are the implications of Lucavi, black auracite, Save the Queen? WELL BEATS ME, you'll just kill them as they come, we'll never really explore them beyond kill and just move onto the next one. Wait, Fran is here, head of the Dalmascan resistance, surely we'll talk about this (actually Dalmasca was liberated offscreen, so was Nagxia, and also Fran magically teleports in time to save Mikoto). Basch? Incredibly noble guy, you see, everyone's so loyal to him, just ignore Dr Mengele and the mass war crimes being committed against the resistance in his name. Oh he "died" btw, field note!

That's not to mention the fact that Krile might as well have not been in the expac, despite being allegedly a driving force for it, she accomplishes literally nothing besides carrying an earring

See, ultimately, this is what I don't get.
I don't mind sets that don't interest me. There'll be 945834958935359 more sets before the game ends and I'll probably like at least a good 30% of them.

Same. Actually, there's a lot of stuff from ARR I wish they'd go back and "unlock" or update. There's a single-hand BLM weapon that looks like a maraca/baby rattler/microphone I wish I could use. They also have a shield that I wish I could use on PLD. Just a bunch of weird, small things like that.

>>715721831
Calyx isn't even sad, he's completely, utterly robotic and unemotional to the point where even if we tear down everything he's planned and destroy all his research his response will be as bland and unaffected as someone being told that the grocery store is out of stock of their usual brand of paper towels

>>715721992
True, I suppose unemotional is the word i'm looking for to describe him rather then sad but my point still stands it's not a personality trait that appeals to me, similar to how I don't really like the tsundere thing alisaie has going on but like I said in an earlier post i'm not going to write him off yet and i'm open to being pleasantly surprised but outside of speen being a grade A cutie there's very little that I care about with the tural/s9 setting and I want to just get to the point where we move on from it

>>715722467
You know how lil retard

when is the job rework we were [romised

>>715722872
8.0
We dunno the extent or depth of job reworks, just that jobs will be the main focus of their attention the way that changing raid design was the main focus of this one

>>715720857
huh?

>>715722872
at this rate a proper rework wont happen til 9.0
please rook forward to it baka gaijin and dont forget to pay sub

>>715722872
There is no "rework" they're just focusing on "identity" so you can expect animation changes and new effects on buffs and small things like that. Don't expect your job to have a brand new rotation or some shit

>>715721637
Yeah, I see her now.
>>715721693

>>715721831
Yeah, but I don't really want another repeat of maniacal lunatic is actually a sad sack either.

>>715723195
I have a fair deal of confidence for it since if they don't move past level 100 anymore they actually can devote a lot of time and attention to a cohesive rotation and leveling experience from 1 to 100. Will be the first time in the game's life that they haven't needed to worry about expansion-by-expansion changes, capstone skills or fitting new shit into and on top of old shit

>>715723274

>>715723368
there's gonna be some of that with the way the endless work
the implication there being calyx's current appearance is the happiest time in his life

>>715723359
Unironically I would like that. Not nearly every job needs 120s party buffs. Give BRD and DNC one if you really want that, but otherwise let every other job be "selfish".
>>715723417
YoshiP did say they were thinking of calling it quits after 100 and adding an alternate progression system.
Bonus points are as you said: no need to cram in 10 levels of new skills and traits, being able to focus on what exists, and being able to redistribute it properly so that the early game experience is maybe less stale.
The downside is we probably won't ever outgrow lvl 100 content, so overscaling old content might slow to a crawl if not cease entirely.

>>715723498
They've stated they really don't want to, probably mostly to keep further level/stat squishes from being a thing, but as of Fanfest for Dawntrail they weren't immediately sure what direction the game's power progression or even indeed general progression should take after that

>>715711669

Can't they just simply keep increasing Ilvl of gear?

>>715723568
>>715723565
If this happens maybe they'll finally update old shitty animations like WAR's basic combos being old ARR garbage.

>>715723675
They do value older content getting outpaced (care was apparently taken to retain similar level/power scaling after the stat squish) so it'd either be ilvl continuing to increase or it'd be an Echo that gets proportionally stronger to age of content on older stuff

>>715714462
And you will never be a woman
ACK

>>715723785
Looking forward to ilvl1000 weapons will be very based.

>>715723754
Unironically find a mod to replace the 1-2-3 animations for Dark Knight and Warrior with the old aggro combo animations (Skull Sunder and Butcher's Block), choosing the DPS combo animations for their attacks when Shadowbringers trimmed them down to 1-2-3 was such a fucking mistake

>>715723675
Maybe. But 10 levels does add a lot to player power. Unlike with some other games, each expansion only makes older dungeons/trials/raids marginally easier. To make a comparison, in WoW, I think after 2 expansions you can solo a mythic raids with complete ease, facerolling them (unless it has mechanics that prohibit soloing, like something you need a group for). That would mean that you would be able to solo Shadowbringers savages from the first to the last boss, and faceroll every trial on any job. You can't even reliably solo faceroll Omega Savage raids and ex trials yet.

>>715723494
dmg party buffs are the one thing holding back combat design in this game
everything is built around the 2min loop, every job ends up playing the same because it's all about the 2min bursts with filler inbetween, there's no room for utility abilities because they would cause you to drift from the loop
every fight is designed around you being able to do your burst at or right after each 2min window
remove party dmg buffs and jobs are free to have their own identity and playstyle again

>>715723863
>Unironically find a mod
I am console

>>715723754
Not sure about that, but if we get something akin to a subjob type system, you could pick and choose abilities and animations that might be more appealing. That's just wishful thinking on my part, though.
>>715723914
This. Ultimately, the big thing holding us all back is party buffs on nearly ever job that all have to be aligned for MAXIMOOM DAMAG. Take that away, and things become way less restricted.

>>715722872

Prepare for disappointment when they somehow make jobs even simpler next expansion.

>>715724019
My condolences
You're forced to wait for some kind of animation improvement on the game's end

>>715724079
It's okay, as a DRG lover I eventually got new stuff, I'm sure WAR will get new animations eventually. Especially considering they changed Inner Chaos's awful animation ]

>>715723754
Honestly, even just being able to use the downgraded animations (the ones you get that are superseded by later level upgrades) might be helpful.

>>715718714
Wuk Lamat is a good character

>>715724043
the funny thing about muh maximum damag is that they've been making the rotations more strict, supposedly to help bad players line up their 2min bursts, but they end up making it way more punishing instead for bad players because they will drift their buffs and wont be able to realign them in most content

>>715724135
I was actually really pleased with Lance Barrage's animation, it was very close to and pretty much obsoleted an animation replacement for Vorpal Thrust I was using that changed it to the deprecated Phlebotomize skill. A bit strange on Spiral Blow but I think that's just from looking at Disembowel for nearly ten years

>>715723754
>>715723863
>>715724154
Unlocking the ability to be able to choose between different animations would be great. Too bad it's a small indie studio lacking in resources.

Agree. If we got rid of the buff rhythm game, it would probably feel less punishing to be forced out of combat for mechanics, which in turn will make the combat "easier" as it were.

>>715724313
I feel like all that stuff isn't soloable easily though. Like in WoW it's literally braindead facerollable in regular dungeon gear at that point.
In XIV, you need savage-tier gear (or at least crafted equivalent) and to actually pay attention to the mechanics.

>>715723863
A feature I've been trying to manifest for years is "animation glamours" where you can just have a few options for certain skills. To let people use removed animations that are better than the originals. There's a lot of really good ones that just aren't used anymore, including more obscure ones like old PvP skills and certain unique cross-class abilities. It'd also be nice for letting you undo certain animations that change while leveling.

>>715724969
You do have a point there, the newer the expansion the more brain you need until you just can't do the damage or it's impossible to tank solo.
For example the ones that are soloable from ShB are
Titania
>play tank, requires very fast burst on add phase
Innocence
>play tank, requires very fast burst on add phase
Ruby Weapon
>play DPS, farm echo and requires extremely fast burst on add phase
Diamond Weapon
>play tank, might need echo farm
Emerald Weapon
>play tank, farm echo, do almost pixel perfect movement
And you still need to do some mechanics on all of them.

>>715725385
That's true. I don't think I've ever seen anyone using one of these out in the wild.

>>715725690
Basically as you said. And the worst part is that these are things you will want to farm, rather than do once.
So for any fight that is more recent than a Heavensward EX trial or raid, I just go with multiple people. Solo farming is not worth it. The only appeal to soloing fights is for the challenge there.

Yep, there's some vintage ARR concept art with bonus commentary from the devs!

>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

>Pandaemonium which lost all of its steam from 9-12 including a random Elidibus fight shove-in for no reason
Pandaemonium was great, legit one of the only good parts of post-EW. And the finale was fantastic.

>the fucking BRD quests which are second only to PLD in how absolutely nonsensical they get
The BRD quests were good, they were shockingly decent. I went in with rock bottom expectations and enjoyed them from start to finish.

You wanna talk about nonsensical questlines, let's talk about NIN. Or hey, DRK, especially the English version which has the WoL be the one that sent the letter for the lv80 questline.

>And yet Athena as a character exposed Venat for the genocidal little witch she was
In what fucking world!?

>>715726992
The thing that fucks me up with Venat haters is how heavily they rail against the notion that Venat can be overall a good character without being morally white.
Like, a lot of them love Emet. Emet is adored specifically because he's a sympathetic villain in whose shoes we can put ourselves and almost say he's right about certain things.
Meanwhile, a big fuss is made over Venat not being a 100% morally pure goodie two shoes. And don't tell me that the problem is that the plot paints her that way because she herself literally admits to the fact that what she did wasn't justice, but that she considered it a necessary evil.

>>715727479
I liked it
Its equal to ShB for be in terms of MSQ

>>715727494
Trancers still think Athena and Venat were basically 1:1 copies so Athena being the main villain of Pandaemonium in their eyes validated their POV that Venat was actually the villain.
Yeah.

>>715727479

>>715727516
Classic story. I've seen it a million times.

>Evil villain who's done unimaginably terrible things has a moment of sympathy
Holy shit! Everything is forgiven! Who else thinks that he did nothing wrong!? We should have been able to save him and redeem him!

>Benevolent, heroic figure is potentially bad in some way
Holy shit! That fucking evil bitch! I can't believe anyone defends her! Disgusting!

>>715727516
>she herself literally admits to the fact that what she did wasn't justice, but that she considered it a necessary evil.
This is literally why. She admitted that yes, what she did was monstrous but ultimately necessary to stop Meteion from killing everything. Meanwhile, all Emet did was go on about how his people are dead and that the Ascians are justified in their actions. Not once does he admit fault... Except for one time at Elpis but that apparently doesn't count because it's before he committed any of it and it gets erased from his memories.

>>715727479
>We'll all somehow agree that EW wasn't the best expansion but somehow the worst
Keep those fingers crossed, I guess.

>>715727810
He did admit fault.

>>715727810
If you needed Emet to look at the camera and tell you that he feels bad, you're too stupid for this anime game for teenagers. The entire fucking reason he gets involved with WoL during ShB is because he wants WoL to show him that he doesn't need to continue his mission of genocide, which is an idea enforced by previous characterization of him during his time as Solus.

>>715727479
6.0 MSQ was great, and that's what counted for many people.
I guess no matter how good the patches are, there's no greater sin than messing up the X.0 MSQ

>>715727602
The main flaw with their logic is the fact that Athena was always a narcissistic piece of shit that saw people as tools even before she found the Black Auracite while Venat was known for being kind and loved her people.. and continued to do so after the sundering.

Athena wouldn't blink at the thought of genocide to meet her goal while Venat HATED that it was her only option.

>>715727968
No that's him admitting she was right. Not that what he and the Ascians did was 100× worse.

It debuted Sage which is my favorite healer, and it ended the main story, which is nice. In turn, however, it gave birth to the current abomination that is Dawntrail, and that's a shame.

>>715727982
Yes but because he never outright states that the retards hold him on a pedestal.

Here's a little fact that makes Venat haters seethe.
>If Venat is a genocidal maniac that means the Ascians are that sevenfold.
>After all, rejoinings literally kill everyone in the shard that's getting absorbed and the resulting calamity kills thousands to millions in the Source every time.
>And then you have the Void that has been stuck as a literal hellscape for thousands of years because they fucked up rejoining it

>>715728384
Because fuck modernsloppers.

>>715728164
>Pink Thicc returns
It's been two thousand years...

>>715728430
No, you don't understand, the sundered people are not actually people.

>>715728430
To Emet at least, it doesn't count

>>715728429
I hate the magic attacks on MNK, I want to PUNCH and KICK, not shoot fucking fireballs like BLM

>>715728605
This line is why I can't understand why he's loved by the retard crowd.

If Venat knew she needed seven rejoinings for WoL to show up, why did she appoint other WoLs throughout history to try and stop those rejoinings? I fucking hate what time travel Elpis did to the story.

>>715727768
That's what makes her interesting to me, though. Much more than if she was 100000% good never dindu nuffin was entirely justified without question.
It'd also have made the Amaurotine conflict completely boring and one-dimensional and retroactively undermined Emet.
>>715727810
In that sense, I feel like they're opposites. Emet-Selch is a villain with understandable intentions and motives that you can agree with, even if you ultimately still believe you need to stop him.
Venat is a heroine whose originally pristine track record of unassailably benevolent divinity can be questioned due to what led to her landing in that role. Even if she was ultimately right in her own way, one can feel that her intentions weren't beyond reproach.
A villain with understandable and from his perspective honorable desires and a hero with a darker edge to their way of thinking. Who will make hard and some might say monstrous decisions for what she believes is the right path forward. Both could have been hero and villain respectively, and their roles are mostly decided by how their ideologies mesh with ours (the player and co.). Venat is a hero because she ultimately pushes for the continued existence of the world that the Warrior of Light cares about, and Emet-Selch is a villain because he aims to tear it down to resurrect the world he cared about.

>>715728821
What is this

>>715728735
Honestly, both Emet and Venat are characters you can sympathize with. However some retards can't see that even though both of them have understandable motivations

>>715728914
I want Tifa, not Sabin, yes.

>>715728729
Because floating around in the aetherial sea for 12000 years is kinda boring

>>715728964
I can't believe there's no Tifa mod like this yet

>>715728698
The point is to show he's so hellbent on revenge and getting his past back that he'll do literally any number of mental gymnastics to justify it. What's curious is that he even bothers justifying it.

>>715728016
The main flaw with their logic is that they are blinded by bias. They already concluded that they hated Venat and projected all the worst traits on her from the moment Endwalker ended.
Ergo when Athena showed up, they went "AN EVIL BITCH THAT WANTS TO ATTAIN GODHOOD AND REIGN OVER THE WORLD? THAT IS SO LITERALLY VENAT."
In reality, I do think Venat and Athena were meant to be parallels in a sense. Both ancients, both mothers (in a sense), both have bright blue eyes. Both were erudites in their own way (Venat was somewhat of a scientist in her time), both would have presided over the Aetherial Sea (if Athena won)
But Athena is a corruption of Venat. Athena birthed a child to experiment on solely for her own benefit, and designed him with a handicap that left him able to match up to his peers. Athena pursued godhood solely for her own benefit, and wanted to destroy it all permanently if she couldn't have it.
Venat didn't birth a biological child as such, but I guess you could liken the Warrior of Light to one. One she guided to the best of her ability and bestowed with what gifts she could to help along the way. Venat pursued godhood solely to watch over the realm for long enough that the sundered would be able to stand on their own and avert the Final Days (the WoL in this case), after which she always intended to perish.

>>715728857
>FUCK MIGGERS
i'm trying but they don't respond to my /tells

>>715728821
Ah yes. Emet has a brief laps in ideology as he held his newborn son and then almost immediately went back to 'these fuckers aren't really alive' when he died shortly afterwards.

Yes anon, he knows that deep down he's wrong. We get that. But he'll never admit that fact.

>>715726848

FFXI can exist with very little content delivery due to how it's designed.
FFXIV on the other hand needs constant content delivery updates or it suffers massive population drop off.
FFXI is an evergreen MMO, FFXIV is not.

>>715727968
This doesn't count. Evil Venat Trancers in CSU's writing team put words in his mouth. Real Emet would never say that anything that bitch Venat did was right.

>>715728964
What about the Dolphin Blow?

>>715729250
I feel like that's really just a visual flair effect.

>>715728430
Their logic is that the only reason Ascians mass-murder people is because Venat sundered the ancients in the first place. Ergo all the blood is on her hands, not the Ascians'.

>>715728332
Is there a reason for this or just memes?

>>715729114
Honestly, the fact that they saw the obvious parallel that Athena was supposed to be but came to the most false, retarded conclusion is baffling

>>715729250
Their blowholes

>This looks so out of place in the game.
Looks like Final Fantasy 2 outfits, what's the problem?

>>715729398
what am i supposed to be mocking here

>>715729174
The "they're not really alive" shit is cope on his part because he can't handle seeing them like that. It's not a lapse in his ideology, it is his ideology. Emet has attempted to live among the sundered, he's tried to uplift them with technology, he just keeps getting let down for one reason or another and can't take it so he tells himself it's fine to kill them.
>>715729113
No, it's not about revenge. Emet-Selch is continuing the mission out of obligation to his people and his friends on the Convocation, not about any personal seethe toward Venat. He's torn between his obligations, to fulfill his duty as the last Ancient to save his people, or to be a father figure to the broken mankind that he's too emotional to lead properly.

>>715729398
No.. Pink Thicc because Pink Panther?

The problem is that xivvies hate Final Fantasy and want more starbucks glams.

the betrayal was nina nono promised an enormous tidal wave of HMOFA hrothgar porn and it NEVER CAME

>>715728958
Emet was my favorite FFXIV character in ShB, and Venat in EW.
But then it became almost impossible to not be annoyed by other Ancientfags, so it was hard to enjoy Emet the same way anymore.

>>715729567
>he's tried to uplift them with technology, he just keeps getting let down for one reason or another
Allag and Garlemald are entirely on him.

>>715729638
That explain a lot

>>715730004
ok

>>715729695
Allag was not his fault. Xande wasn't Emet-Selch. He handed them the keys to free, unlimited energy and let them go. And they ended up turning exactly into late-stage Amaurot but a thousand times more fucked up because that's what endless peace and plenty leads to. Which in hindsight makes Xande correct in starting the Meracydian campaign and Hermes right again for resurrecting him, but he was a little too late for that and had his own brand of insane bullshit too.

>Venat didn't birth a biological child as such, but I guess you could liken the Warrior of Light to one
You could say that Venat viewed the sundered as a whole as her children, as she works even better as a foil to Emet Selch.
Both of them cared greatly for their fellow Ancients, but where Emet viewed the sundered as flawed and incomplete, as well as struggling with the hope that they could eventually become worthy successors to the star, Venat viewed them with hope for the future,while her struggle was with the guilt of the sundering as well as the suffering that the sundered experienced in their imperfect lives, dben if she knew that it was necessary to ultimately save the star
