Is it worth starting FF14 to only play the campaign solo?

I am a big fan of the single player FFs but the only mmo i wasted my time was osrs.

I dont plan on playing the multiplayer content

Yes

no, it's shitty tropey anime slop

>>716268172 (OP)
It's so run down now I would say no.

Just play the free trial, its the base game + 2 expansions for free, It's already 100 hours+ of the "main story".
There is an extremely high chance you get filtered by the base game, not because of difficult or anything, just boredom.

>>716268172 (OP)
yes !

>>716268651
TAKE MY FUCKING CUM CHALICE.

>>716268172 (OP)
stop acting like you want to play ff14. Anyway dawntrail is shit and ff14 lost its relevancy
>is it dead
no, even worse. It will never hit a new peak and the soul of ff14 is gone. game will keep decline

Just started occult crescent
Is phantom monk the only job that's worth a shit at the start? that stackable +5% damage buff sounds really good

how much do you like mystery niggas

>>716268172 (OP)
>Is it worth starting FF14 to only play the campaign solo?
If you want to play it, sure.
>I dont plan on playing the multiplayer content
You'd be missing a lot of story, but if you don't care then sure.
>>716268945
Bard is good if you're playing healer, but mostly yeah. Monk is extremely powerful the whole way through but Kick can be hard to keep uptime on during mechanics. Either way level all your starter jobs for the bonus movement speed on Knight and exp on Bard.

Try to at least make it to HW, if that doesn't get you in then drop it

>>716268172 (OP)
>Is it worth starting FF14 to only play the campaign solo?
Sure. Missing out on a lot of multiplayer content that way, though.

>>716268945
>numbers

youre useless get a better job.

>>716269164
Kick is super funny because you can launch yourself into a death wall.

Play through the free trial and if you're not somewhat interested by the end of ARR/Beginning of Heavensward then drop it.

>>716269194
What? Did you even read the post?

>>716269268
Yeah, that's the trade off. You have to know fights well enough to maintain it without killing yourself but if you can manage that then you become a god.

No absolutely not, just watch it on youtube like an anime. You can skip all the filler crap AND the dogshit gameplay.

>>716268172 (OP)
>I dont plan on playing the multiplayer content
Too bad, you have to in order to progress the story. Hope you like furry ERP in your PUG duty chat.

>>716268651
This, don't pay SE right now they don't deserve it but you can't still play the free trial with no time limit, base game + 2 expansions, bunch of dungeons, trials, stories and job stories just play that if you enjoy it then maybe pay for shadowbringers and Endwalker but I would wait on Dawntrail until the next expansion.

>>716269417
>Hope you like furry ERP in your PUG duty chat.
This doesn't happen.

it's an okay story but if you aren't playing the multiplayer content it's just a literal visual novel with slop in between the dialogue. if you do end up playing, just quit after the endwalker base story concludes and don't look back.

>>716268172 (OP)
Free Trial for the base game and two expansions.

>>716269336
If you do this I recommend the Birds of Play. They have a seven hour video of the entire story and do it as a sort of narrated adventure log of the Chicken of Light.

>>716269448
This literally happens all the fucking time.

>>716268172 (OP)
Yeah, but stop when you finish the base Endwalker campaign. Don't do any more MSQ after that. Whatever you headcanon as the further adventures of the Scions will probably be better than the official further adventures of the Scions.

>>716269336
Nearly did it to myself a few times. Threaded the needle, though.

>>716269571
No it doesn't.

Best not to use the text chat feature OP, you could run afoul of the jannies while you're trying to play your singleplayer story

>>716268172 (OP)
The story can be played solo, and yeah it's worth it. ARR to Endwalker is kino

>>716269861
That screenshot isn't even about the text chat, he got banned for saying something in a video outside the game.

>>716269861
>arthars
probably deserved it

>>716268172 (OP)
>I don't plan on playing the multiplayer content
There is still a chunk of main story content dungeons and trials without Duty Support, meaning yes you will be playing multiplayer content you weirdo.

can yoshitpiss save the game tomorrow? morale is at an all time low

>>716269861
>Getting banned for "slandering during off-site streams"
What a cucked game.

>>716270329
NPC companion quests on the way!

>>716268172 (OP)
Not worth it. You're better off watching the story on youtube cause the gameplay is nonexistent

>>716268172 (OP)
>I am a big fan of the single player FFs
then yes. this is the only real reason to waste time on XIV.
most of the campaign is free to play and it's designed to be a mediocre solo VN with mediocre gameplay elements

>the FUDing

thread in bad faith
story bad = game bad!!! my visual novel.. was perfect!!

>>716271142
>story bad = game bad
Yeah that's the summary for Dawntrail, a bad story has overshadowed the entire game.

>>716271213
that's right, when my eyes are the ones playing the game watching the cutscenes i feel good, if cutscene bad game bad!! my hands don't touch the game

>>716271142
>story bad = game bad
The game always had major issues that people looked away from because the story was so compelling. The shitty story in Dawntrail simply pulled the veil away and now everyone has noticed just how much of the game needs to be fixed. The story WAS the most important part of the game, but because of Dawntrail it's probably now the least important thing to the playerbase. The game has major problems that have to be addressed if it doesn't want to head toward maintenance mode.

>>716268172 (OP)
the "campaign" is trash. but the story, imo, makes up for all its short comings. including the story itself being mostly trash.
but the good moments were some of my favorites in a story, so id easily recomend it on that alone. just expect 90% garbage though. (free trial to see for yourself)

>>716271318
I like the game.

Just watch it on youtube

>>716271286
>When my eyes are the ones playing the game
What? Are you trying to quote Fight Club "I am Jacks eyeballs staring at the lack of a good game in FFXIV"

>>716271376
Me too, that's why I want it to fix its problems.

>>716271376
NOOO YOU HAVE TO HATE IT
HATE IT BECAUSE STORY BAD
NVM the good fights, the good combat content, the good grinds, the differents aspects of it, the music or the social aspect, the job fantasy NVM ALL THAT HATE THE GAME NOW STORY BAD

>>716271318
I don't like the game since Dawntrail.

The story died when he died.

>>716271498
Like?
>>716271520
7.0 and 7.1 were kinda bad but 7.2 was good.

>The most dangerous villain to the Scions and the Wol
>Just a man.
Humanity fuck yeah!

>>716268172 (OP)
The story is great, until you get to dawntrail. However it's worth playing that far, and you might want to play dawntrail just to see how bad a game can fall after going woke.

>>716271770
So then all MMOs have fallen, right?

>tfw the most ardent defenders of bad games are women with no taste.
I'll say Dawntrail is good if you suck my benis until then, it's a shit expansion.

>>716271662
>Like?
The sterile job design that has stripped fun out of 90% of the game's content to cater toward fflogs.
The terrible skill distribution that gets worse every expansion, making old content feel like shit to play.
Lack of meaningful character progression.
A content cycle that pushes long term grinds and casual content toward the end of an expansion, leaving the first year or more completely bare of things to do.
The glamour system.
The housing system.

>>716272017
>The sterile job design that has stripped fun out of 90% of the game's content to cater toward fflogs.
What jobs do you play?
>Lack of meaningful character progression.
That all of FF14 has had?
>A content cycle that pushes long term grinds and casual content toward the end of an expansion, leaving the first year or more completely bare of things to do.
That all of FF14 has had?

That doesn't make the game broken.
>The housing system.
Ditto.

wow won

>>716272097
>What jobs do you play?
Right now I main PCT, but in the past I've mained SMN, RDM, and MNK.
>That all of FF14 has had?
Yes.
>That all of FF14 has had?
Yes. You should read the post you were replying to in the first place, because I specifically said that the game (that is, ALL OF THE GAME) has always had major issues that people were willing to ignore.
>That doesn't make the game broken.
It's a major system that's fundamentally shit and barely functions. People put up with it because they have to, but everyone wants it to be changed. And it needs to be.
>Ditto.
Yeah, ditto.

>>716272304
>Right now I main PCT, but in the past I've mained SMN, RDM, and MNK.
And those are the same?
>Yes.
>Yes. You should read the post you were replying to in the first place, because I specifically said that the game (that is, ALL OF THE GAME) has always had major issues that people were willing to ignore.
Those are not major issues. Those are your tastes. XIV is never going to be XI, and you are going to have to accept htat.
>It's a major system that's fundamentally shit and barely functions. People put up with it because they have to, but everyone wants it to be changed. And it needs to be.
It functions fine.
>Yeah, ditto.
You just sound petulant, sorry to say bro. "Game broken and unplayable because some features could be better than they are."

>>716272097
you're responding to an obvious troll and you should have spotted it the moment fflogs were brought up
people that don't like the current job design can't tell you what they want to see other than their own headcanon overhaul of the system as if it was ever going to happen

>>716272416
>you're responding to an obvious troll
More like a tourist, I figured.
>people that don't like the current job design can't tell you what they want to see other than their own headcanon overhaul of the system as if it was ever going to happen
I could tell you what I would like to see: most of the group buffs removed. They're not even fun, and they stifle job design.

>>716271651
>>716271760
tranny posts!

>>716268172 (OP)
You want to trudge through bear asses that's 80% anime filler with a story that's 90% poorly and disgustingly copied from XI? Just watch it on youtube.

>>716270329
he keeps mitigating damage like a pro corporate ceo but hiroi and kate keep backstabbing him with chicanery.

>>716272402
>And those are the same?
No. If you're interested in what I actually think, you can stop putting words in my mouth and ask me like an adult. I said the job design is sterile. Would you like to know what I mean by that, or are you just trying to be obnoxious?
>Those are not major issues.
Well, the majority of the playerbase disagrees with you. I'd say the single largest complaint about Dawntrail is that the entire first year of the expansion was nothing but savage and ultimate shit with no time-intensive or casual grinds to work on.
>XIV is never going to be XI
It doesn't need to be. Again, you're free to stop putting words in my mouth and have a conversation like an adult at any time.
>It functions fine.
The glamour system? No, it absolutely does not. It's filled from top to bottom with nonsense restrictions including the very limited collection of items you can hold, role-specific gear, glamour plates, etc.
>You just sound petulant
You say this and then continue to do nothing but deflect and put words in my mouth.
>"Game broken and unplayable because some features could be better than they are."
Where did I ever say this outside of your imagination? What the fuck is your problem? Are you falseflagging to make XIV players look retarded and insane or something?

>>716272684
11 sucks go make an 11 thread

>>716269861
what was the video about

>>716272416
You're also free to act like an adult and have an honest conversation at any time. I'm a troll because I don't like how every job boils down to 2-minute buffs and finishers on top of finishers?
>people that don't like the current job design can't tell you what they want to see
Oh yes, I absolutely can. Are you ready to put your big boy pants on and talk like an adult, or do you just want to be a snarky faggot letting other people argue while you sit on the sidelines?

>You now remember that they invited Asmongold to the U.S. media tour for Endwalker and he didn't post a single thing about it expect say he ran a dungeon with the trust system and didn't like it

>>716272769
>No. If you're interested in what I actually think
You gotta start saying what you think and thinking what you say. You seem to be talking youtube ecelebese.
>Well, the majority of the playerbase disagrees with you.
Ah, the ol' "people are unsubbing for myriad reasons therefore my particular reasons are vindicated" approach.
>It doesn't need to be. Again, you're free to stop putting words in my mouth and have a conversation like an adult at any time.
You don't have any words that are your own, that's why you evade and act like a child when called out.
>The glamour system?
Yes, it absolutely, objectively does. Tell me when was the last time your glamour dresser and plate bugged out and you couldn't use it?
You want the system to be structurally better, but you're being a hyperbolic sissy about it pretending it's fundamentally broken.
>You say this and then continue to do nothing but deflect and put words in my mouth.
You sound so reddit it hurts.
>Where did I ever say this outside of your imagination? What the fuck is your problem? Are you falseflagging to make XIV players look retarded and insane or something?
Again, you sound so reddit it hurts, parading around Schrodinger's opinion just so you can always noodle your way out of a confrontation. Typical regurgitating tourist shit.

>>716272853
For something that apparently sucks you sure do love a raped version of it's story lol. Sorry that it doesn't have enough hallways and shounen shit for your brown self.

>>716273243
Why do XI fags have such little brother syndrome?

too much text for a tourist / rage baiter

>>716273136
>You gotta start saying what you think and thinking what you say.
I'm perfectly capable of that. In fact, I already gave you a list of problems with the game when you asked. You pretended like you actually wanted a conversation just so you could start imagining my opinions anyway.
>You seem to be talking youtube ecelebese.
The fuck does this even mean?
>Ah, the ol' "people are unsubbing for myriad reasons therefore my particular reasons are vindicated" approach.
It's really, really not hard to find mountains of people complaining about the content release structure in Dawntrail. Chaotic pissed people off, Forked Tower pissed people off. You're just shoving your head in the sand.
>You don't have any words that are your own, that's why you evade and act like a child when called out.
You're just babbling nonsense now. I have plenty to say because I've been playing the game longer than you've been alive and I know its problems top to bottom.
>Yes, it absolutely, objectively does.
No, it does not. The glamour system in this game is garbage and you either don't know any better or you are simply so deep in the kool-aid that you're defending it on instinct. I already listed massive problems with it and you ignored them. It's a bad system that doesn't even function as well as its predecessor in FFXI.
>You sound so reddit it hurts.
I don't think you actually have anything worthwhile to say at all, and you're just interested in acting like an obnoxious nigger and wasting my time. So either reply to this post with proof that you play the game or kill yourself. I won't bother replying again unless you include proof that you play the game. If you can call other people tourists then surely you can post your /playtime.

>>716273593
>No trust me I have so many nuanced opinions and critique that aren't at all like what you say they are. You are misrepresenting me and putting words in my mouth.
>Doesn't proceed to actually divulge any of that to "correct" the supposed misrepresentation.
So cute.

That's weird, I don't see a /playtime. Isn't that interesting?

Mhh.. I am smelling an impending melty about a name that starts with H.

/playtime status?

I don't see any reason for it to be. They're not covering much more than usual - less than 7.2, even. And they're omitting the trial entirely and not talking much about the MSQ for obvious reasons.

Is it possible to make friends in FFXIV's free trial?

>>716274398
I think you can still talk regularly, right? Just not shout or tell.

>>716274397
My copium is that there will be surprise reveals.
My reality check is telling me that it'll be long because Yoshida likes the sound of his own voice and he needs to show off everything on a piece of paper along with a groveling apology for how 'insensitive' the new armour set is.
I swear if he apologises for the armour set being culturally insensitive this game is fucking done.

>>716274310
An extra hour of trivial chatter about the intricacies of chat bubbles and merch it is.

>>716274397
Maybe they had to cut some stuff out of the other live letter because of the OC/CE apology.

>>716268651
How do they have 100+ hours of the main story? Is it mostly grind or do they have long decently well made cutscenes like ff16 and others

>>716274630
This Anon has it, he's going to go over in intricate, excruciatingly slow detail chat boxes and show them off and show how please he is.

>>716274678
If you remember doing sidequests in FF16 it's that for 90% of the game's playtime.

>>716274576
>My copium is that there will be surprise reveals.
Eh, I don't see it. That'd be too soon for them to take action. They'd had to have something they were working on ahead of time already.
Maybe the extra time is about FanFest. IDK.
>along with a groveling apology for how 'insensitive' the new armour set is.
Oh, don't you fucking do this to me. I've been one of the people who liked DT and has been fairly hopeful, but if he bends the knee to that shit, that kills any hope that I have in one go.
If anything, DT should have taught them that woke is a poison that should be avoided.

>>716274032
>aimed at a younger audience of 13 year olds
It's genius. The 42 year olds are already roped in, they'll buy final fantasy branded shit on a platter no matter what speaking from personal experience. Of course the expansion is geared towards a younger audience

>>716274749
>I've been one of the people who liked DT
*(Exception of 7.0 MSQ of course.)

>>716274678
Hope you enjoy fetch quests. It's 95% of the gameplay.

>>716274813
That didn't work at all, it alienated older fans Dont ask me how I know while it also didn't attract a young crowd, perhaps a more ideologically progressive crowd in the West by adding a tranny VA for the main character but not a wider audience.

Looking forward to the patch trailer, at least. Those are always hype, with very little exception.
Since the jannies will probably snipe any LL thread within minutes of one going up, I hope everyone who still likes the game has an enjoyable live letter.

>>716276290
>jannies will probably snipe
why

>>716276658
They (or at least one of them) does not like XIV, so while regular threads during lulls might slip by, the ones during live letters, patch days, expansion unveils, etc. definitely get nuked asap in an attempt to block any momentum.

This game is one giant hugbox. You can't really interact with people. Hell, I even reported and had people banned for advertising shit that is 18+. Yes it is a bannable offense because you're excluding people form a game that is menat for teens so it's a form of discrimination thanks to Japanese laws. So if you're playing this game and feeling like a cunt you can actually report all the gay ass 18+ club advertisements that plague the game.

>>716281092

>>716268172 (OP)
Going thru ARR for the first time and it's really boring. Nothing interesting happens and the missions all stink. They love to give you one objective all the way across the map, heavily incentivizing you to teleport around and ignore the "world" and then you just kill 2 enemies and then have to go ALL the way back to turn it in. The world is so shallow and empty that they just push you to teleporting around and it fucking blows. The game sucks.

For some reason, the GMs take it super seriously when you use a damage meter and tell someone they are not doing enough damage. As long as you avoid doing that, never, ever, ever mention mods in game, and use a bit of common sense, you should be fine.

>>716281719
Not just FT, the zone itself is shit. Somehow it feels even more boring then Bozja.

It really does. It's just one giant visual novel. You're better off watching it on YouTube.

>>716282173
Forked Tower's mechanics are really very simple but the problem comes from two things
>3 raise limit
>hard body checks
It's really unrealistic to bring randoms in and expect them to coordinate themselves to the towers on Demon Brick, or to get the wild charges on snowballs properly, or to not aim a fire protean across the room at the other team. Compared to Baldesion Arsenal where 95% of the mechanics are halfroom cleaves or spreads/stacks. The only thing that a shitter can murder your run on are the accel bombs in Ozma. And then in CLL, DR, or Dalriada there are no raise restrictions so even though fights like Adrammalech can get very chaotic for a shitter you can still just pick them right back up and keep on trucking.
>>716282209
It really is. The mechanics themselves are very, very simple.

>>716281092
No way they can ban you just for that...

>>716274678
The expansion Endwalker alone (without patches) has 24 hours of cutscenes just in the MSQ. The grand total for the entire game is probably over 150 hours. Then there's unlockable quests, job quests, role quests, crafting/gathering quests, and many others.

>>716281719
>OC feels like shit because FT is too hard
but the alliance raid next patch is a big nothingburger that doesn't even count as content

>>716282373
IT's so simple just join the discord advertised. You don't even need to fucking talk just listen to callouts. But these speds act like even that is too hard. Then they'll be the same fucktards crying next xpac that content is putting them sleep like how it was in Endwalker, because all they did was complain about "difficulty"

Yoshitpiss please make this game good again, I actually really miss it but can't justify paying a sub while it sucks.

>>716282594
People don't wanna use discords for content, and I can sympathize with that.
But discords are also the first resort for anything harder than a normal trial because of the players being weak wusses.

>>716282676
It's all downhill from here buddy. It will never be HW/SB XIV ever again

>>716268172 (OP)
I've been playing this game for over 10 years. If you don't plan on making friends and shit don't even bother. You're are going to get bored and most likely stop playing within the first 100 hours for various reasons. The story has its ups and downs but it's a story that spans over the course of 10 years so that's completely understandable in my opinion. I'd say the first arc (A Realm Reborn through Endwalker) is worth a watch at least. So just honestly watch the story on youtube.

>>716282773
god, i sure do miss
uhh...
having nothing to do because diadem was a crap shoot and palace of the dead isn't even in the game until over halfway into the expansion (and i am also told that deep dungeons are not actual content, so that makes it even worse)
i'm sure those two extra dungeons in the roulette will make the game better

>>716282678
Discords are the reason you can still do daily runs of Baldesion Arsenal today. Forked Tower is still going to be alive 5 years from now unlike CLL or Dalriada because of that. If people don't want to organize content with other people then they shouldn't be playing MMOs to begin with.

>>716282867
I'm just saying that people avoid discords for especially current content for a good reason.
But the reason discords are so prevalent for any organized content is also because of the players themselves who are too shit-scared to tackle anything remotely difficult without discord.

>>716282395
>>716274678

>>716282921
I hate discord but it's really just the easiest way to organize people right now. In the Westwolves timeline I hope discord died and everyone went back to organizing on forums.

>>716283021
no more once upon a wolf....

>>716282853
Don't forget your timer laden job mechanics in a job gauge-less world, ARR's lingering angry ghost in the form of magic defense/physical defense job armor focuses making survival hard sometimes for Paladin and Dragoon, Gordias Savage being so fucking difficult that raiding almost died because they doubled down on Binding Coils' poor reception for difficulty, and the DREADFUL performance on PS3 which had already been struggling with ARR

>>716282969
Damn sick covers

>>716282867
I want them to remove the rez restriction from BA. not because i think its too hard but the less aspects of the community people on discord can control the better

i'd also be up for removing spawn conditions for hunts and just let them be truly random. 96 hour windows

>>716284729

getting rid of mods on its own wouldn't translate into any immediate player loss (how the fuck are you gonna make your game completely unmoddable without an enormous refactor and restructure of all data? don't be dumb in your wish-fulfillment, strawman i'm addressing) but it would represent an irreparable shattering of player and community goodwill for absolutely no gain or purpose whatsoever. like, congratulations, you made some frogposters on 4chan clap, i guess. now what, since you've damaged your rapport with your players forever and you won't ever get their trust back.

>>716286208
i'm neutral on the nightclub PFs. not like there is a capacity for PFs and you can filter out the category they're in with a button press. its player driven 'content'

that being said, i tried to get into clubbing. got pretty much ignored as i'm a lala, got told i wasn't welcome at more than one. did find a casino club that was fun though, but i didn't know they were charging real gil

whats the most plausible surprise we could get for the liveletter

deep dungeon coming out in .31? blue mage?

How long till the live letter? Trying to decide if I should bother staying up to watch.

>>716287651
its in 4.5 hours. not worth it. especially for how little information we'll likely be getting.

you'll be able to fastforward through it afterwards. the best way to watch it imo

I genuinely don't understand how it is taking them this long to set up chat bubbles, a feature that ALREADY EXISTS in their game. Does one high up UI dev just have a blinding, seething hatred of the concept or something?

>>716288057
its because they misunderstood the assignment. the community said 'we want chat bubbles'

what they did was make a fully customizable set of chat bubbles ala glamour plates

>>716282969
>hw universally praised for its story

I'm starting to think that the reason people like HW'S MSQ was just that it was fucking short.

>>716289042
moreso that it was just "not ARR" at the time really
time and better stories and also FF16 by the same writer as HW has dulled a lot of its luster

>You barely make it out alive and your friends are all missing
>Now a wanted fugitive and with people hunting you down, you flee north to Ishgard
I mean, I don't think they have ever come close to how exciting and tense that lead up to Ishgard is. Then they just undid everything which became the usual writing style. Oh she didn't actually die. Oh none of the Scions died either. Y'shtola is blind but she can still see. It's all downhill from there.

>>716282676

Just goes back to the game never actually being good in terms of gameplay and instead coasting on narrative, characters, music, and some good setpieces.

Huh, sounds like a Final Fantasy game.

>>716296193
alisaie is so shit lmao.

>"people" are now skipping loot in forked tower to save 10 minutes per run, which doesn't even translate to an extra run in a regular multi-run session

The story isn't actually that good, it's just JRPG slop on top of JRPG slop. It's good if you want a long JRPG slop to invest yourself into and there are some nice moments but I expected more depth. Shadowbringers was kino but I didn't really need that much arr+hw+sb context to experience the story.

I don't even know why I'm staying up to watch the LL, it's all a disappointment

Will hiroi or kate be in the live letter?

>>716298446
Don't you want to listen to Yoshida saying that they lack funds to do better?

When is the live letter? I don't even play anymore but i always watch them because a part of me wants the game to be good again.
Mainly because all other MMOs on the market are somehow even fucking worse. Yes that includes yours, OSRSfags[/spoilers]

>>716298753
in 1 hour

>>716298753
In 50 minutes

>>716291916
But this is exactly what makes it so confusing that people liked it. They completely waste the best buildup they're ever going to have. Estinien, Ysayle, and Alphinaud make for a fucking awful party because they all have the exact same personality - serious and brooding. Which is identical to the WoL's personality, incidentally, so you just have four of the exact same quiet broody character on an "adventure" of about two maps.

Again, I think that's why the blessed thing about the story is that it's short. You just go somewhere for a bit, do a thing, and then hype shit happens. There's no buildup or complex story beats to botch, just go to the library and when you get back the house is on fire.

>>716272528

>remove group buffs

Based take honestly, though I think that even if you remove them design would still be stifled from the perspective of true endgame, aka the ultimate fights (savage fights are still too easy to matter).

Since ultimate fights are segmented into multiple dps checks to ensure that you can't get by without pressing your buttons in a competent manner, a job's burst phase would significantly affect its viability in week one prog. For instance the old school warrior job with a 90 second burst wouldn't make the cut because it would frequently not contribute to dps checks compared to a 60 second job. We'd get a meta dominated by one minute jobs since they are certain performers.

With that said I still think they should go back to the design paradigm of *no significabt burst window* (shb pld and blm), one minute bursts (nin), 90 second bursts (war), two minute bursts (drk), third minute bursts (drg). It was still giving use a more intentional use of rotations and players actually being rewarded for knowing multiple, fight specific openers, which just improved player engagement, mastery and self-expression (on pld, sometimes you could pick between two openers that had their individual pro and cons. Great design).

Party buffs in this sort of environment alsp rewards players who had expendable resources. For instance the warrior who knew when to spend surpluss fury so it hit inside a two minute buff that was disaligned with inner release.

Unfortunately, realistically speaking there are many obstacles to this kind of general design philosophy improvement:
>most players can't actually explain why 2min meta is bad. They know it's bad, but a majority can't explain why
>the devs suck at math. Pretty self explanatory, but it is very obvious that the devs don't properly math out their jobs, so they constantly commit major oversights where some jobs overperform (pct, drk in EW) or underperform (mch, pld and war on EW release) for no fucking reason

>>716298906
Sorry but OSRS has long stopped being OSRS. It might as well be a private server now with all the garbage they've pushed.
Especially the combat that's become the MMO equivalent of Melee. Better learn 1-tick prayer flicking and tick-eating or our new content will just one shot you xdddd.
Dogshit game.

>>716298823
You're kinda right. It wasn't longer than it needed to be and it wasn't too short to tell the story it wanted to tell, that's why it worked (even though they fucked up by bringing everyone back to life after the end of ARR).
Compare that to Dawntrail, for example, where you waste like 3 hours watching cutscenes just learning about temu brazil culture before you even get to a dungeon. 7.0 msq takes like 20-30 hours if you don't rush through it and hardly anything happens in the first half.

>>716272528
>most of the group buffs removed
remove all of the group DMG buffs, they are the biggest offenders in terms of job design limitation, every single job is forced to become a 2min burst job with similar gameplay, I fucking hate 2min meta

>>716298714
I'm more mad about them butchering the deep dungeon to make a spin off fucking expert trial.
I guess after the complete dogshit that was Orthos I shouldn't have expected anything, they clearly don't understand the appeal of that piece of content in the first place

>Xeno puts out videos telling people Chaotic and Forked Tower are actually good

>This game is one giant hugbox. You can't really interact with people.
You can interact with people just fine. The people that complain about this are all retards with zero EQ who don't realize their normal behavior is already abrasive enough to put them over the line.

>Hey there are many mobs here so consider using your aoe abilities
>Dude you know you can aoe right? How are you 80 and you haven't figured that out?
You can say the former 100 times in 100 different dungeons and nothing will happen to you. As for the latter, well you can fuck around and find out.

>>716299612
Yeah, hosted in a groomcords with known pedophiles. Wasn't there literally a case recently where a well known Baldesion Arsenal host was on a list of pedophiles that modded their game so they could fuck kids in it (not lalafells, actual kids like Chloe)
What a great community to pander your content to.

>>716299573
Forked tower is not 1% raider content, it's closer to an extreme trial than an ultimate. It's casual shit where the fuck is the next ultimate.

>>716299878
>inb4 the nobody queues for any of these cope

>>716298996

To be constructive, I think overall the new design would have to lean into:
>Steady performers
Have a very even damage profile that is slightly higher than the average, but might struggle on burst checks and short phases(suggested jobs: PLD, MNK, SAM, SMN, BRD)
>Steady performers with resources
Like above, but they have a spendable resource to tap into to contribute to burst windows better. Slightly lower overall dps in exchange for this flexibility (suggested jobs: WAR, BLM, WHM, VPR, MCH).
>Ebb and flow jobs
Your typically designed jobs. Have clear ebb and flows in their rotation, carries party buffs. The backbone of your dps profile. (Suggested jobs: GNB, DRG, NIN, SCH, AST, DNC, RDM)
>Subscribe to my Only Bursts
These jobs have lower than average dps but has a lot of flexible burst that can let them get BIG if they know how to play into other classes party buffs. They are all about stockpiling resources for the go go go time (suggested jobs: DRK, PCT, SGE, RPR)

>>716299942
>in an mmo
maybe reading isn't your forte, FT forces you to join discords, it's bad game design no matter how poorly you trannies try to spin it

>>716299824
I was underselling it a bit, but I'd say it's like 60% of the way to the danger zone. If you're any more direct than that, or you keep spamming chat with more messages with the same tone, then a gm would look less fondly on it.

In general if you're the kind of person who thinks it's fine to have a bit of 'banter', if you think being polite to someone is bitchmade, you won't have a good time in this game so go play wow instead.

>>716299612
No you don't understand, I play a MMO to avoid social interaction and when I'm forced to interact with others I don't want to have any responsibility, because if I get called out for making a mistake they will hurt my fragile 4chan chud ego.

Yeah multiplayer games were known for their lack of social interaction before discord was invented.

S IS FOR SPHENE

>>716300418
it's because you dont have to interact with high end stuff to have a good time in ffxiv, for most people doing the story is enough, all the raids are queuable and if you're just in for story you never have to touch savage. and many just unsub after doing the story and resub when a new patch drops

FFXIV had an edge for a time when it came to QoL improvements and respecting player time while Blizzard kept trying to reinvent the wheel and doubling down on bad decisions, waiting until the end of a given expac cycle to revert them.

Even then, there's just no denying that WoW just has more responsive gameplay in the tab-target MMO world, and now Yoshida's development pipeline setup has run FFXIV into the same rabbit hole where it can't adjust fast enough. Years to fix Viera/Hrothgar, years for glamour/housing improvements, it took them two months to respond to Forked Tower issues, Dawntrail altogether is in a slump and real change won't be possible until 8.0 in Q1 2027. By that time, WoW will be halfway its second season on Midnight.

>>716268172 (OP)
Realm reborn is pretty rough bad voice acting annoying narrative, best you can expect from this game narrative wise are probably heavensward and shadowbringers maybe endwalker stormblood has some moments but it's kinda similar to realm reborn way more time wasting.

Is she right?

Did they release the beast master job or something?

>>716301017

>>716301017
content = stuff people actually want to engage with

>>716301038
That's still 9-11 months away.

It's time.

game will become based again
starting NOW

Can't wait for a liveletter of 2 japanese men talking to each other for 3 hours, with a translation that will be misinterpreted in 15 different ways. Also them showing paper at the screen.

Hold onto your hats, it's time to begin for better or worse

ENOUGH WITH THE FUCKING BLUE CHILD

>>716301081
But they announced it before the expansion was even released and now it's 1y old already and at half point.

BAKOOL JA JA JA NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN

MORE HIROI SLOP LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>Bloody hand
>Screaming
Yeah, Wuk's dead

I can't believe the geodude gets top billing in this patch kek

They're jumping ahead to the Ultima/Omega fight during RotZ stuff, weird.

>>716301186
Yes, and? Expansions are two and a half years long.

>>716268172 (OP)
No it's like 300 hours of the same music and shit animations on repeat.

>>716301132
Would it really kill them to be able to show things in a white void fullscreen screenshot instead?

>>716301107

>btw I spent the entire 7.3 budget on silly hats for the Live Letters and then buying sailor seifukus for femboys who keep DMing their butthole
YoshiP not taking the player population issue too well

Wuk Lamat on screen massive psychotic breakdowns incoming

>the tranny VA has to scream again
get ready for speen lissen to me 2.0!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkIN4Zu9Wsw

>>716301317
oh god
how many re-recordings this time

trailer is kinda of weak sauce but at least the dungeon doesn't look like "remembering dead people while you walk through a themepark" slop

well it was a nice thread while it lasted guys, hope you have fun with the live letter and not read this thread

>black regulators
>calyx
>erenville

HOLY FUCK THIS WRITER SUCKS.

we get to be a cool guy in front of sphene, I'll take it

>>716301383
Nah nigga, I'mma be doing both. What's the point of watching the live letter live if I'm not shitposting in thread and talking about it happening LIVE

>>716301323
>yuck lmao starts speaking
>close tab

>>716274032
No one wants to admit that xiv worked because it pandered to millenial women. The whole franchise should go back to be written for them instead of chasing zooms zooms and even younger guys.

>>716301425
>in a plot twist surprising literally no one, the black regulators turn out to be mind control devices
NO WAY

>playing the dogshit trailer again.

this is the worst trailer ever holy shit.

>>716301449
He's mad that people are shitting on Wuk and Hiroi.

>>716300794
Her butt should be bigger. And bigger.

I will protect Sphene!

>awful trailer
>ugly patch art
>0 hype

That trailer... wasn't great. YoshiP also sounds pretty fucking done with this. Like it's been 10 years of this, maybe they need to stop hiding shit and just show us what the extreme is. I doubt it's anywhere near of a spoiler than Estinien Nidhogg was.

>>716301537
don't get greedy

>>716301494
It really was, like holy shit even previous bad patches have good trailers.

>alisaie jobs again

LMAOOOOOO shes the worst levellieur for sure.

>>716301575
>grownman cant stop inserting his ugly wol into the art

It's obviously FF IX memberberry Necron.

>>716301545
switching to PLD for this scene

>>716301660
its automatic viper only due to lalafells.

>we went to Beatrix to Necron
what kind of escalate is this? imagine an expansion is based on FFVI and a trial is Celes and the next one is fucking God Kefka.

>>716301545
>WoL doing something in a cutscene
At last!

>>716301639
XIBIL PIBIL FOR AAAAAAAAAAALL

>>716301689
Explain

>>716268172 (OP)
>Is it worth starting FF14 to only play the campaign solo?
Like you have any other choice.

>english Wuk Lamat's voice lines already mismatching the action in the trailer
here we go

The Zilart twins and Proto-Ultima + Proto-Omega airship fight, XI raid remains kino.

>>716301689
that would actually be kinda impressive in how fucked up it is lmao

I see

>>716301695
We've had multiple FF IX bosses so far.

>>716301132
>Also them showing paper at the screen.
this is best thing but they show not that much papers you know

ITS TOO LATE FOR KRILE. JUST KILL HER OFF.

>>716301738
I'm hesitant to watch the English trailer because I don't want to hear that animal speak.

>2 cute girls with hoodies
WoL is a lucky guy

>we totally didn't forget about Krile guys!

>>716301723
He's coping really hard and blaming Lalafells for the lack of effort from the devs

>Y "Since this is the finale of the 7.0 story, the WoL will be more in focus"
I'm sure it's because of the finale, and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE

>>716301763
THE LANDS THE LAND THE LANDS

but in techno pop!

>>716301763
but they showed this boss, might this mean this is not extreme, but dungeon boss?

>>716301763
Necron is the dungeon boss so the trial is Neo-Alexander

>>716301767
as trials in this expansion?

>>716301723
The player will be forced to use VPR weapons for some stupid plot reason since the devs are too lazy to design bespoke blocking animations for every job (especially lalafell).

>>716301772
>>716301780
>>716301791
this. kek.

fucking fire hiroi already that fucking hack.

>>716301847
Mostly dungeon bosses.

YOOOO THEY HAVE THE BUDGET FOR NORMAL MODE LET'S GOOOOO

>>716301847
yea all trials are ff9 bosses or summons. like varigarmanda, lizard with ugly ost, and sphene

>>716301817
>focus on wol
>wol listens to gulool ja, wuk, krile, graha, speener, alisaie yap while he nods

WERE BACK

>>716301856
every job already has blocking animations retard

Wuk Lamat is the trial

>>716295531
Terrible new character you have to babysit for the entire expansion. The maps are pretty, but the different cultures and races are absolutely abysmal, and no conflict between them is allowed. Terrible pacing and some very bad voice acting. It's basically the opposite of HW.

>>716301973
>Wuk Lamat gets posessed and you need to kill her
I would resub

>>716301973
I will fucking explode if Wuk becomes the heart of Neo-Alexander

When's the DD seethe from noclears coming?

>>716301932
Are you retarded?

>>716301973
>>716302010
but then you would have to listen to her doing boss voicelines for your EX grind.

>>716302031
Are you?

>>716301957
are you retarded? they're nothing like the one shown in the trailer.

>>716302040
That's why it drops 2 totems this time

>>716301973
Now THAT would be funny
>WoL, I've... been hit by Calx's EVIL juice...
>The peace we worked so hard for...
>I... HATE... TACOS

>>716302027
They're making another EO and you know it. I still can't believe I cleared on my first try after running to 100 with my friends.

>>716302031
uh oh sister your autism is showing

>wuk dies
>they bring her back for some reason

>>716301494
>Plays trailer
>Calls trailer shit
/v/ in a nutshell.

>>716302080
Yea, EO is big shit and sadly this one will be as well. Optional side content can't afford to be different and challenging, it has to be pushover slop for 35 year old hags

>>716302027
>look at me I cleared 8 year-old content with plugins please give me the attention that I never got from my 2 dads.
There you go troon, congratulations

>>716302142
he's talking about them replaying the trailer in the liveletter

>>716302163
uh oh, noclear seethe

>he's paying to enter Forked Tower
Couldn't be me LMAO

>>716268172 (OP)
The intended experience is already 90% solo. You only need to group for instanced content in which you will just queue up and barely interact with the randoms you get grouped with.

And that's until you reach content that can be trusted (done with NPCs).

>>716302072
1 totem EX. with a mechanic hector will fuck up.

>>716302232
you paid $12.99 to enter

>>716302232
virgin post lol.

>>716301817
This is pure bullshit with how much the MSQ scenes focused on Wuk.

>>716302113
Seeing as we've had three Spenes running around in two patch cycles, I'd be down with it if they ended up using it as a reason to recast her from current ENG VA.

>>716302256
They literally already said it's a 2 totem fight.

But yeah Hector will decide on the stupidest solution to a mech and infest PF with it.

>>716302326
I don't speak japanese nigga

>persistent pot and bunny coffers will now reward silver and gold pieces
So are they now no longer completely worthless? I guess it will depend on the ammount given.

>>716302282
AIEEEEEEEEEEEE THAT'S DIFFERENT!

oh my god I read that as "The Second Wuk" and panic'd

>Forked Tower adjustements
No it's way too late for this shit. Just remove the raise restrictions and let anyone enter it.

>>716302363
I cap silver way too easily, but I haven't done gold farming, so they'll be useful to me for that I guess.

>>716302407
mindbroken by Queen Lamat'yi

DID HE JUST SAY BORUTO

24 man Omega is the most exciting thing about the patch. I swear to god it better use Larboard and Starboard.

Do XIV drones demand the removal of ANY fail condition from all content?

>>716302423
>3 raise limit
>get kicked out if everyone wipes without using any rezzes anyway
how this entire raid made it past the drawing board is beyond me

>>716302423
Retard? The entry changes all but fixed the tower, the incoming ones will seal the deal.

I hope someone screams NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER with chat bubbles on, would feel nostalgic.

Nothing is good about needing to join a discord to get a group for this shit.

>>716295531
what if ysayle really really liked soup instead of being shiva and her plan to solve the dragon song war and ishgard was to share soup with them and make them happy

>No more skipping pulls in Cutter's Cry

>optional dungeons get support
>story trials still need a group
kinda backwards

>>716302587
They said last LL the chat bubbles are gonna be very limited, only small messages get shown pretty much

>>716268172 (OP)
No, it's genuinely one of the most boring video game experiences you can have, I got fooled into playing it through Heavensward, it was predictable, even for anime standards
I honestly can't think of a more boring game

>>716302587
i would report them in game.

>>716302537
Better than the last 2, which were complete dogshit.
Man stormblood trials were so fucking bad.

>>716302556
Yeah they're really nice. Is the border style due to chat channel, or auto-translation or what?

>>716302537
Can't wait to die during add phase because tanks are drooling on themselves yet again

>>716302509
LOL

>>716302537
I'm so glad there's no achievements for this because I really don't want to deal with tanks failing whatever that T8S HP/Damage mechanic was called.

>>716302629
do longer messages get shortened with ... at least?

>>716302475
It's actually a LOT harder than left or right but I don't believe they'll port over the more annoying mechanics.

>>716302640
Reminder that they skipped Nidhogg Unreal for this.

>>716302642
Probably /shout or /yell chat. Maybe there are chat commands to change the bubble type, that would be neat.

>>716302532
Do you have anything left to buy with silver at that point?
The gear, I guess?

What the fuck are they even doing over there? It was like watching the last two trailers from different cameras. The part focused on the FFXI Alliance raid was more interesting.

>>716268172 (OP)
No, it’s a slog for the most part, sometimes it gets good for short intervals then dips in quality again, leaving you feeling like it’s even worse than it was earlier

>>716302593

oh, phantom weapon enhancement in 7.31. I thought it was in 7.35.

>>716302739
Why does Wuk or anyone even care about the first fake Sphene anyway?

>>716302739
i genuinely cannot wait for this dogshit expansion to be over. especially so i can finally drop this game for good if that retarded tranny ends up being a permanent party member

i dont even want hiroi fired anymore i want him to write the game to bankruptcy.

>>716302716
Yeah only the gear for other jobs but I already fully upgraded 2 different sets, I'm not getting another one. I also got the achievement for the 500 CEs so Ireally have no reason to farm silver anymore

>>716302739
Yeah this is the exact same issue 6.1-5 had where after 2 patches the MSQ was just repeating itself the same way every patch repeats it's content.

>>716302739
>krile
>nothing

KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK

They haven't killed wuk yet? What the fuck are they doing are the nip bugmen actually fond of her or what

>>716302813
What's stopping you from dropping it now? Free yourself from this shit. Enjoy a life of freedom, good games, and not having to pay virtual rent to out of touch devs.

>>716302889
Good job. I haven't been farming a lot of the gear. One set so far, and then only the regular version, not upgraded.

>>716302849
i haven't resubbed since DT's .0 patch so i'm already smarter than you

>>716302908
>krile
who?

You guys complained about Ishikawa being a dirty fujo tranny for forcing in Graha x Meteor but seethe at a story where WoL gets a cute Loli wife and a cute tomboy HMOFA wife(JP only)
Make up your fucking minds you schizophrenic retards.

>>716302916
we know who's behind it

>>716302981
shut up tranny making shit up in your head.

>>716302808
This, it took me off guard. I understand feeling a bit sorry for her, but she ultimately was a chatbot AI who was forced into caring too much for her subjects. If anything, Wuk should be worrying about real Sphene unless that's exactly what's happening there: real Sphene gets seriously hurt and Wuk says that line about promising to protect her people, although I can't remember anything of the sort in the last patch

>>716302934
I don't think you've played the game at all if you think that would be the case.

>>716302981
>JP only
that's why

what the fuck is this, all the content isn't coming until two months later

Trailer was kinda shit because of Wuk, but:
- longer MSQ
- more focus on WoL
- tease on what's coming next
sounds pretty good

>>716302981
>cute tomboy HMOFA wife

>>716302981
uh oh hiroi meltie

Everyone didn't even want the exarch to be him and were in complete denial about him being a catboy.
Now we get a speen and you retards want Hiroi fired.

Holy shit, John FFXI has voice acting

>>716302782
Yeah, that's it.

>>716302932
Thanks. Honestly I wouldn't bother upgrading the gear past your main job, I don't know the difference in damage output but I'm pretty sure it's not worth it. Also I doubt the gear from the next map (whenever it comes out) will be a continuation of this one.

>>716303183
me when I forget to take my meds and eat only the estrogen pills

>>716303224
I... got the gear set on tank. Which isn't my main role (it's DPS). I just liked the look for some of the pieces most and then I decided to get all of it. Didn't get it updated yet, though.
Might get a DPS set too and update it if I feel like it.

How is FFXI? At this point I'm willing to try something "older" to scratch the itch, FFXIV isn't for me anymore. I saw FFXI Dragoon even has a pet dragon companion, that shit would have been so cool to have in FFXIV too.

>>716301323

>>716303136
no, because even 4.3 had the tribes quests
this patch has less content than one from 8 years ago, wtf

retail is pretty solo friendly now, but its still an old ass mmo with all the flaws and grinds, its very slow only play if you got plenty of time to spare, also following the story unironically requires a wiki.

>>716303276
FFXI is doing so well right now that they actually had to close character creation on one of the servers because so many people were going back.

>>716303174
What do you mean? He was right! Dawntrail is very different from the other expansions.
They've made the bold decision to create an expansion that has 0 redeeming qualities! Not even Stormblood or Post-Endwalker managed that one.

>>716303329
>Is it even still possible to clear anymore?
Fairly easy I think to clear.

Let me guess...
Right half room cleave... Into left half room cleave......

You got the gift of foresight?

Is he really showing the entire fight? kek

>>716303428
BA was annoying because it took forever to group up then you had that wait time for the jellyfish FATE.

>>716303498
seems like just the basic stuff

>>716303413
Whoa... Dawntrail combat truly is the best...

>We went from 3 unique bosses with original models to remodeled trash mobs again
GRIM

>>716303276
Retail has had many layers of solo friendliness added over the years, it retains a lot of it's character while allowing newer players to experience it's storylines and progress content at a more reasonable pace. Endgame is so deep it would blow your fucking mind, you would be busy for years.

>>716303519
yes, but now they're making it easier for FT, so really it will be easier to get in and as years goes on its probably gonna even easier thanks to being able to queue as an alliance.

>>716303498
Can't show the Extreme so...

>>716303413

The XI raid environment is really good.

>>716303450
idiot, i know 4.3 didn't have all the content in the main patch and I wasn't expecting deep dungeon at 7.3 but no even tribe quests when 4.3 had it

what's the fucking point of this patch? you can clear all the content in a day.

>same animations we've seen for 10 years
wow he raised his glowing tail, I wonder if it will hit behind him
wow he is charging up fire in his mouth slowly, wonder if it will hit in the direction he is facing

No... it couldn't be. This is the entire fight...

That model is originally from FFXI tardbro.

at least the previous ones had the saint seiya armors

>>716304563
my crackpot theory is they made Alexandria just so they could have a inuniverse reason for this gear since all the modernslop they've released looks like shitty gacha scifi gear which is really popular currently in Japan

Better than XIV that's for sure. DRG has a dragon that fights with you. BST isn't a limited job and actually has uses. You charm monsters out in the battlefield and use them to fight for you.

Just way better than the garbage that is XIV

They literally are you retard, there's a faggot lala that lusts after radahn and two fag NPCs that had to leave ul'dah because they don't accept interracial couples as well as a dyke npc with a wife.
The two fags have been in the game since 1.0.

uhhh. SAMsissies?

This is as far as XIV needed to go with "modern". It at least tries to incorporate fantasy aesthetics into it. Everything else is just 1:1 real world techwear.

PVP SAM LB getting a nerf next patch, you saw it first here

Lmao, get zantestuken'd

i can't believe all the time they waste in pvp, people only plays because of the rewards, I'm pretty sure they don't allow 4 players to party because like that you can just afk in CC and go for the next match

>>716305063
What's "fantasy aesthetic" about this? It's pure modernslop straight out of a jpop or kpop music video.

>>716304664
It's not just "one modernslop" set, they have been adding sets like that since 7.0 and it's honestly getting boring. They pretty much look all the same, with the same neon colors, big shoes, and headphones hanging around the neck. They look incredibly out of place in any map that isn't Solution Nine and its surroundings, and they are even a big spoiler flag for newcomers, just like the Convocation and Ascian-like robes were.

LET'S GO

>>716305063

What fantasy aesthetics does that incorporate anon? It's more accurate to say that while some modern styles can fit XIV, the Urban Fantasy style is far less fitting.

What deflection? You completely made shit up and thought nobody played the game long enough to call you out. Those two fags were originally in 2.0 as nameless Wanderer's Palace NPCs that get stabbed by tonberries. The quest that tells you they're fags was added in 2.5. You're just a lying faggot. Go spread some AIDS you crustbusting freak.

LETS GO GAMBLING

>>716305337
You realize that eternal bond was not added in until 2.45 right? the fags have literally been in the game for as long as EBing has been in the game and the radahn lusting lalafell predates EBing as it was in 2.0 ARR.

>>716305348
that used to be the norm

I FUCKING LOVE GAMBLING

>>716305443
>You realize that eternal bond was not added in until 2.45 right?
You realize that 2.5 is after 2.45, right? You realize you tried to claim they were in 1.0, right?
>and the radahn lusting lalafell predates EBing as it was in 2.0 ARR.
His name is Raubahn, and one faggot Lalafell having a private dream doesn't imply any kind of societal acceptance of homosexuality. Don't you have some shit to slurp out of a stranger's asshole at a truck stop?

>>716305479

It was jarring as fuck, and all the sprouts were checking them out, of course. It completely ruined the somber, solemn mood of the city.

Are you guys actually arguing whether Yoshi's game is gay as fuck after he put two homos kissing in a cutscene in FF16

>>716305591
no one quit, DT is the best expac ever, numbers keep rising

but now it's glowfaggotry
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

>>716305523
>doesn't imply any kind of societal acceptance of homosexuality
nta, but doesn't the fag quest also not imply societal acceptance of homosexuality if they got kicked out of their home for it? It's that a literal rejection of it?

>>716305636
No because they were kicked out of their home for being in an interracial relationship rather than a homosexual one.

>>716305523
>You realize that 2.5 is after 2.45, right?
And both those NPCs were in the game before 2.5, Eternal bonding was only added in after 2.0. Is it not lore compliant because it was added at a later date?
>and one faggot Lalafell
So you admit that it's lore compliant since he is lusting after Radahn and is a canonical faggot and has been in the game since before 2.5 when eternal bond was added in.

>>716305601
I understand that. SE sold out massively. They don't care about keeping this game uniform. It's all about the $$$ now

>>716305636
>but doesn't the fag quest also not imply societal acceptance of homosexuality if they got kicked out of their home for it?
NTA, but the two gay dudes were kicked out because they belong to different races (a big no-no in Eorzea for some reason), not because they were gay.

>>716305591
live letters only happen every 4 months anon, when the fanfests start up again you'll see multiple 1000 post threads in a row

>>716305678
>And both those NPCs were in the game before 2.5
They weren't fags, they were random adventurers. The quest that reveals they're fags is from 2.5.
>So you admit that it's lore compliant
The existence of fags doesn't imply acceptance of fags or fag marriage you dumb fucking AIDS-ridden shiteater.

WHAT WAS THAT BLUE GEAR???

I play Final FANTASY to get immersed into a fictional world of wonders and look cool with otherworldly combat gear... now my immersion is raped like Justin Bieber on Epstein Island because everywhere I look, no matter if I'm in the forests of black shroud, the plains of La noscea or the deserts of thanalan I see faggots and queers dressed like glowniggers with modernslop outfits...

>>716305901
>Proof?
Proof they were?
>Proof that there was an implication of societal non-acceptance lole?
How about the fact that they weren't going to allow gay player marriage at all until crustbusters lost their shit on the official forums and Yoshi caved? If fag marriage was always part of Eorzea, why wasn't it going to be allowed?

>>716305903
>what should I wear to go mining

>>716305679
We've had like 2 expansions of fantasy gear. Aside from a few off cases, most gear has just been the same gear over and over since 2.5's WoD sets.

this reminds me of a ""lore"" youtuber defending modernslop going "ah well you see the only reason most Eorzeans aren't dressed like this is back they just lack industrialization and automation which is why modern looking clothes are okay actually" then again the same youtuber also said Wuk was the best protag based on some really vague bulletpoints they made themselves.

Those Miqo'te were prostitutes, dumb fucking crustbusting pedophile. You didn't even play 1.0, if you were alive at all you were too busy being molested by your uncle.

>>716306150
>What is it with golems thinking that fashion design is tied to technological level?
it's an argument that seems to make sense on the surface, people were poor so they made simple clothes, but they completely ignore that if you gave a 16th century seamstress modern sewing tools and materials she wouldn't make modern club clothes, she would make regal looking clothes they had at the time because thats the culture.

>Do you not know how time works?
Post me the text IN GAME where it states that they are not gay, then we can infer that the new text added that states that they were GAY ALL ALONG, was in fact a retcon.
>Those Miqo'te were prostitutes

Post the IN GAME text from 2.0 that states that they were gay. You can't. As expected of a faggot, this is your religion so you're arguing like a christfag boomer. Show me proof that God doesn't exist, crustbuster.
>Your path ally openly flirts with you and says if she were a man she'd fuck your brains out
Huh, I wonder why she doesn't offer to fuck your brains out as a woman? I wonder why only a literal prostitute in an alleyway does that?

Funny enough Alexandria is the first time FFXIV has any place where modernslop actually makes sense which is why they're going so hard on it, before we had Allag and all the modernslop always seemed completely out of place because Allag still had a very strong old fantasy vibe to its aesthetics.
