>>716340351
buckle in for people still obsessing over all of it during 7.5

>>716340138 (OP)
Wuk has to die not Sphere

>>716340351
Invite me to the Hiroi slop Discord

>>716340138 (OP)
dooming aside whose blood is that actually

That was an awful trailer. Alisaie also jobbing lmao.

>>716340507
Speen or some rando citizen from sol9

>black regulators are bad
>speen puts on the crown

Why is this writing so bad?

Um guys??? Wuk is still voiced, I thought you said Sena was unemployed since last year???

>>716340765
they record multiple patches ahead of time

>>716340845
They literally do not do this as confirmed by Yshtola's VA. It varies per patch but at most it's only one patch ahead of time.

>>716340635
erenville...

i miss hairstyles dropping from ARs

>>716340765
I think they just never brought him back in but are using unused voice clips from 7.0 recording sessions. I choose to believe that because it's funnier.

>>716341334
Its either the case
>Sena didn't get additional VA work and SE is using leftover lines from earlier recordings
>Sena did get additional VA work and lied about it online for some reason

i don't really care so long as wuk is out after 7.3 and sena isn't brought back to play other characters

>>716341537
hiroi too.

>going through another instance and cutscene of sol9 being attacked.

jesus christ. this is some awful repetitive shit.

>>716341445
>Sena did get additional VA work and lied about it online for some reason
I hope its not this. I can't stand more Wuk

>>716341445
He absolutely lied, they didn't have the story written for 7.3 by 7.0 and they were still striking back then. In other words, they had to have him in the recording studio after then and the strike only ended very recently. He 100% lied about working and scabbing.

>showing Wuk again
oh, they're actively trying to kill XIV.
LAMO, OK, message received YoshiP. Sub cancelled.

>>716340765
fags are crashing out like a teenager's headcanons getting deconfirmed

Does literally anyone still care about this game but a handful of terminally online retards who stay subbed solely so they can avoid losing their pile of pixels in Yoshi's housing districts?

>>716342146
Oh they didn't only show Woke Lemutt again, they had him voice a terrible line that is equally as grating on the ears.

>oh man, I spent all this time baking a cake but I accidentally made a pile of poison
>well, can't do anything BUT serve it, I spent so much time making it even though it's actively poisonous and harming people
YoshiP and Squeenix need to learn that just because you made it, doesn't mean it can't be discarded.

>>716341445
Nobody lied, you're parroting shitposters
SAG-AFTRA strikes and infrequent calls in for the job because of patch structures meant there was no work lined up and xe didn't have any other jobs at the moment
There was no firing at any point

>introduce the only likeable character in the entire expansion
>kill her a single patch later
I refuse to believe even Hiroi would be that fucking stupid.
But on the other hand that happened with Otis except it was like forty minutes instead of a patch, so he really is that stupid.

>>716342146
I bet this really happened.

>>716342146
you said this last time

>>716342491
>>716342473
back to your groomercord, """""fem""""ras

>>716342596
relation?

>one week ago we were on "doomposters keep seething about wuk even though they reduced her presence in the msq and her role is obviously finished, look sena said he had no work!"
>now we're on "doomposters are retarded for thinking wuk was gone, obviously when sena said he had no work he was exaggerating i mean duh wuk is the main character!"

>>716340984
Erenville dying would be a surprise, given how unimportant he is

Wuk dying could elevate her to a well remembered character if she goes out with her boots on, but I doubt they'd do that. Like it or not she's the face of Tural and we need a liason there just in case, and desu i prefer her over Koana

>>716341445
the VA's work without context. the line Wuk has in the 7.3 trailer would fit just fine in 7.0, maybe even during the Interphos

>>716343315
>Wuk dying could elevate her to a well remembered character
people would just laugh at her death for the next 50000 years
or be mad if they feel square invested too much time into giving wuk a sendoff

>>716343210
Its always been the case Wuk would be involved in some way until earliest 7.4. 7.3 is the end of DT storyline. Anyone saying otherwise was wrong

>>716343397
They need lines written for them first THOUGH. XIV recording is done up to one patch in advance but sometimes it's also couple months before the patch releases. Just depends

>>716343480
if Wuk went out in a bad ass enough way she'd get a few more fans. kinda like how people pretended to care about horsefart before the vault

>kill wuk
>devs are cucks because they caved to community demands and take the cheap way out
>wuk lives
>players have meltdowns again if she takes too much screentime

Alright, I'm gonna watch the English version of the trailer. God help me.

>>716343593
you forgot
>kill wuk but it's not unceremonious enough
>devs spent too much time on wuk's death reeeee

>>716343561
yes. and so far none of the lines Wuk's VAs have said in 7.x would have been out of place in 7.0. what i'm insinuating is that they're using unused lines from the 7.0 sessions and glueing them onto the later patches

i imagine the only 7.0 VA who actually would get more lines later would be Sphene

>>716343703
I watched it and honestly? The dubbing is just droll. There's barely any emotion, any tone to any of it. No one's actually emoting worth a damn throughout the entire trailer, everybody sounds like they woke up an hour before recording and didn't have coffee.

>>716340138 (OP)
thats just discharge from her dilator bigot

>>716343721
there's no winning for them and I sincerely hope they fuck it up for ruining my main job

>>716343723
That is some insane gigacope

>>716340138 (OP)
>1:51
>I PROMISED I WOULD PROTECT HER PEOPLE
he's not even trying to sound like a woman anymore

qup ranked cc, season and series ending soon !!

>>716343593
killing wuk is the worst possible resolution, the dogshit writers would milk her death for the next 10 expansions like they did Haurchefant
Imagine having to see her face in a flashback at the emotional high point of every story again and again

All I care about is hats on my hroth

>>716343703
DON'T DO IT
YOUR BRAIN CAN'T TAKE IT

>>716343873
>next expansion
>see flashback of Wuk when something sad happens
LOL

>>716340765
I think Sena's point was that doing a few lines every few months doesn't pay your bills that well so the FFXIV gig isn't really a huge cashcow.

>>716343835
do i believe bryer is capable of crossing the line and lying about it? absolutely

do i believe that squeenix would want his ass back in the studio? i do not. and they certainly wouldn't pay him to put up with him

multiple things can be true at the same time anon

>>716343703
I. PROMISED. HER....
I'D GO FUCKING MANMODE HUUURUGGGGGHHHH MANMODE YEAH FUCK YEAH I'M GONNA HHURGGGGAAAHHHH

>>716343775
Eald'narche with Calyx's voice sounded strange. I always imagined him sounding more youthful. Kam'lanaut sounded as expected though.

>>716343873
>kill haurchefant
>didn't care about haurchefant that much because he wasn't a great character, just some dude that liked the WoL a lot for some reason

Makes you think

>>716344058
losing my shit lmao

>>716343837
sounds more like a basedboy than a female

>>716344069
Until this expansion is over entirely, Wuk is gonna stick in people's minds, despite the fact that she was still barely even in that trailer. And even then people will be obsessed with her.

Yshtola status?

>>716344041
his father breaking down was more emotional than haurchefant's actual death

>>716342469
the only likeable character of 7.0 died after like 30 minutes

>>716344069
/v/ just wants to be mad

>>716344041
If you felt nothing at his father's reaction you are truly too far gone

>>716344170
>Until this expansion is over entirely
Try at least several years from now.
Lyse hate persisted past Stormblood and she wasn't as bad as Wuk.

>wuk tries to protect alexandria
>it's broadcast throughout solution 9
>this causes everyone there to perceive her as their savior in that moment
>a primal summoning initiates
>wuk becomes the heart of Neo-Alexander
>have to listen to Sena try to talk like a robot while trying to talk like a woman while trying to talk like a latinx
>8.0 SMN learns Summon Neo-Alexander

>>716344204
it actually was, the VA also did great

>>716343937
Maybe it's the non stop ranting that's bad for business

>sphene dies confirmed
based, ugly bitch deserves death. Now just let me kill Wuk personally Yoshi-P

>>716344286
This is next level self-dooming.

>>716343937
obnoxious and abrasive californians who can't stay off social media get what they deserve.

>>716344226
Yeah that's literally what I said

I just logged into Aether with no queue

i am now 100% confident in my bingo card

Makes me sick to my stomach seeing them add gacha to this game.

>>716344573
Is that supposed to mean something? It's a random middle of the workday Thursday with no imminent time pressure or recent patch

>we're gonna make player character hair show up in hoods now!
.. that's for sphene cosmetics, ain't it

>>716344913
seems more like it's a result of the fuckery with hrothgar and viera hats

>>716344913
They just changed how hair works on the backend. Maybe split it into more parts.

>>716344898
That's crazy because I always get queues around this time.

>>716340138 (OP)
If they actually kill Sphene to give Wuk a character arc to actually experience a real setback and loss would be the funniest thing ever. It is already weird that she seems much more agitated than when Zooral Ja killed her papa.

>>716344176
WoL's chalice remains ungrabbed.

>>716340138 (OP)
oh no not some character that told me to kill 3 wolves!!

>>716342469
I saw it more like an injury from a clash. Surely we keep her safe?

>>716345170
No more "development" for Wuk Lmao I can't stand it

>>716345420
Wuk Lamat also speaks in the past tense in that cutscene. So it is either a shitty fakeout again or they actually axe her to to please all the "MUH STAKES" fags.

COWARDS CAN NOT DEFEAT WUK LAMAT

>>716345420
>we protect her
>she still dies
>wuk avenges her
oh NOW we're dooming dooming

Why don't you have a futa healslut girlfriend?

7.3 will be this but with sphene being ded in the background

>>716345558
It will be a fakeout. It BETTER be

I hate w*k so fucking much

>>716345718
i dunno dude, people have been screaming for dead characters and more consequences. you might reap what you fucking sowed here.

>>716342694
The au'ra groomers race changed into male viera but the XIV community isn't ready for that conversation

>>716345782
Wuk is the one who needs to die

>>716345789

>>716342469
Who was responsible for Moenbryda?

>make an actual sympathetic character
>it is all just bait so you can kill her for people to feel sad
I hate this trope so much and Japanese media keeps doing that.

>>716346009
Hiroi loves emotional manipulation. Living Memory was nothing but him trying to pull at you heartstrings over people you just met.

>>716346007
Ishikawa introduced Moenbryda and then Maehiro killed her.

>>716345670
Because I am her

i don't care anymore
krile dies

>>716345670
Because I am the futa tankstud.

>>716346371
Not like she did anything noteworthy

>>716346371
>the only thing Krile does in the trailer is choke on purple poison gas
It is almost ryona at this point.

>>716344389
bring back Yotsuyu

>>716346593
>purple poison gas
Black rose. Calyx will gas everyone but Sphene will somehow sacrifice herself to cleanse it. We always need a Hauchefant.

>>716346593
you now remember that zenos called her a squealing piglet

Obviously they haven't announced fanfest because Yoshida is scared of getting deported by orange man (he's bad)

I haven't played since 6.4 and am a DRG main.
What did they do to MY Nastrond!?>!?!?! I hecking love the spin you did each time you used it

>>716346836
why are you on that site?
Why do you think we care what some random fag says?
I don't understand

>>716346887
>What did they do to MY Nastrond!?>!?!?
They got rid of the charges.

>>716346776
Was he wrong

>>716345670
Because I already have a normal healslut girlfriend.

>>716347082
Not after I'm done with her.

>>716346836
It's pretty funny dealing with liberal types. They won't address WHAT isn't allowed to be talked about causing the deportations they reference (Israel).
They'll say "Free Palestine!" or whatever, but they won't talk shit about Israel or their history. Entirely useful idiots just supporting current thing with no insight.

>>716345670
because i am the futa healslut girlfriend

but not a futa. or a slut. or a girl

>>716343210

>>716345994
qrd on wtf carbuncles have to do with grooming

>>716347489
carbuncles can be made to look like other characters (including npcs) so you can pose two characters together even if you don't have another player with you

>>716340138 (OP)
I'd be surprised if they didn't kill Sphene, but then everyone is expecting it since she's an attractive non-scion female within the MSQ.

>>716340984
SE would NEVER kill him or a fuqboi off ever again. I'm betting they regret having Hythlo be dead from the start.

really bummed at the wasted potential. and the changes aren't going to make it better

>>716347580
you can do this with any pet though
i thought it was something about carbuncle furries

>>716347489
Outdated reference on /gpose mod restrictions, if you wanted a second PC or NPC in a pose while you were alone you needed a Carbuncle or Eos/Selene summoned as a second entity. That hasn't been a thing for a while now as I recall

>>716347792
>you can do this with any pet though
Nowadays you can just spawn actors in with brio so you don't need carbuncles, but in the past minions couldn't be swapped into player models. You had to use carbuncle, a faerie, or a chocobo.
>i thought it was something about carbuncle furries
If you see a Lalafell with a carbuncle then they're almost always fucking the carbuncle.

>>716340138 (OP)
Why does anyone care what happens in the MSQ anymore? Everything past 6.0 has been horrible fanfiction.

>>716347938
asmongold andy.....

>>716347725
if they really wanted to, they could introduce a new split timeline in the past and then you'd have an expansion in the Unsundered World.
There's a macguffin they introduced with 7.0, the chalice, that the WoL could be told (IDK, ask Venat in the past if she knows about this) and boom, you stopped the timeloop and caused a new branch.

>>716348057
what the hell purpose would it serve narratively to do that

>>716344069
Wuk is a perfect intercession of everything /v/ loves to talk about
>shit character
>shit mmo expansion
>tranny v/a
>annoying on twitter
>blames hate on identity rather than doing a poor job
>hired because a dangerhair localizer wants to push politics
>cucks (You) out of their climatic moment in the trial finale
Wuk Lamat is /v/'s primal.

>>716347938
Like anyone else still paying attention to an mmo story, I tune in every 4.5 months to see if it got any better
It hasn't, but maybe next patch

>>716348194
also
>confusing the character for the actor

>Muh Kate boogeyman
>Wuk totally ruined the game, I am definitely bit obsessed
We're in 7.3 and we're still crying about this?

>>716348057
>time shenanigans
>results in Emet and Hythlodaeus being brought back alive
>but somehow Venat stays dead
I can see it

>>716347938
Everything past 4.5, if we're being truly honest. But we're not ready for that conversation just yet.

>>716344069
I will continue to bitch about Wuk Lamat until the English dub is listenable again.

>>716347938
>6.0
lmao, 10+ years of buildup for major villains to die offscreen and to kill the major antagonist at level 93 then fight Hydalyn at level 99 just because why the fuck not.
The major storys been trash since after heavensward and even heavensward was mediocre at best, Shadowbringers just seperated us from it to tell an actual decent story that was self-contained and not dragged out with 1000 contrivances and poor writing like Xenos. But retards eat up bad writing as long as there's cool explosions and it appeals to their emotions with a cool cinematic and music. Honestly Dawntrail is considered bad because they made Wuk Lamat the main character fighting sphene instead of you standing there and praying and just getting kill the boss powers because ?????

>>716348430
Is Wuk still part of the story?

>>716348618
>and to kill the major antagonist at level 93
Zodiark was killed in 5.3.

>>716348528
>stub my toe
>become a broken record even long after it heals

>>716347938
Because it's baseline content that everyone does.
People complain about how bad DT is, but aside from the msq it is easily one of the best expansions released.

>>716340138 (OP)
Game is so fucking dead it's ESO tier now.

>>716348674
>we're now at the stage where wuk defenders are trying to pretend she's not even in the patch

>>716348656
Oh yeah the Golbez storyline was so good I completely checked out.

>>716348674
It didn't heal.

>>716348772
>fucking stubbed toe defenders

>>716348729
Let me know when its New World level dead, ok?

>>716340507
her own, we can only hope

>>716348824
Your boss didn't make you watch the trailer before sending you in to defend it, Sanargupta?

>>716348183
Emergency expansion for fujobait and memberberries.

>>716348656
being more of a tool than an actual goal was kinda presaged with shiva too, shiva as a primal didn't have a mind separate from ysayle's but she also wasn't a big enough primal that she was a separate entity

>>716341445
I'm hoping it's the former, but the latter is more likely due to the VA being a professional oppression olympics freak

>>716348874
Imho XI will outlive XIV.

>>716348824
I just remembered the Wuk intervention is a permanent part of trial roulette. So I'm not going to stop bitching until either she gets redubbed or that part is removed from the trial lol

Have they improved the gameplay or content? I stopped playing in 6.1 after seeing how dull everything was.

>>716349263
If it does it is only because it requires so little cost/resources to keep up. I'm sure the cost to profit on it is good

game peaked with Meteion (if only her EX was cooler)
Yotsuyu was based too

>>716349313
They already redubbed it in 7.1 which just makes wuk lamat sound more like a man because the voice actor was a white pasty retard casted for one reason and it's not that they have a good female hispanic accent.

>>716341445
>Sena did get additional VA work and lied about it online for some reason

the reason is that he is an attention whore who likes to play the victim

I honestly didn't give a shit I just thought the story was kinda mediocre until I looked online and saw all the retarded outrage.

>>716350110

>>716340138 (OP)

>>716344686
Saving this. It looks fun.

>>716350213
I'm playing the Japanese game with English Voice Actors ironically.

>>716350213
There are "people" on this website who will tell you that Cowboy Bebop, Panty and Stocking and Black Lagoon are better dubbed.
There's no saving them.

>>716350213
i played in japanese and it was so boring that i stopped playing before hitting 95

>>716350213
copium huffers will tell you the game was dubbed in english first so you have to listen to it for the INTENDED EXPERIENCE

You cant prove it!

>>716350335
>Bro it has peak mediocre nepo baby voice actor #8
Yeah idk dude. Steve Blum is maybe like the best one but it doesn't save the rest of the cast.

hah

>>716350509
I personally don't give a shit about the MMO team sports "my game has more players than you" bullshit.
Don't care if XIV is most popular
Don't care if XIV is least popular
Only care that there is enough players that the game stays up and I can do content

>deep dungeon still requires potd
arr jobs are so fucking boring I couldn't keep going beyond floor 30

>>716350553
well it's also for leveling for 91 to 100

>>716350492
Yeah, like I said it was mediocre. Emet-Selch also took up half the screen time the difference is he was a good character.

>>716350667
>Emet-Selch also took up half the screen time
[EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER]

>>716350614
This.

>>716350743
>Tis

>>716350743
Maybe it felt like that because he was a good character? I can remember lines he said I can't remember a single thing wuk lmao said.

>>716350743
Honestly they did a lot with Elidibus and Emet both without having to be super excessive with them on every other scene. Say what you will about Shadowbringers, it did a lot with not a lot.

>>716350743
>not even in the top 3 words from other characters
PATHETIC

>>716350902
Yeah, he was just well-written, showed up when he needed to, and had a lot of presence.

>>716350858
>Thou
I love urianger

whats the point of a blacklist if i have to see them again?

>>716350743
Yeah, that's just good writing of the character. They don't show up often but are memorable. A lot of media has a problem where it's over written and they have characters talk a whole lot, but they don't actually say anything meaningful.

>>716351110
Does the blacklist make you appear as a random name/appearance on their side?

>>716348618
>The major storys been trash since after heavensward and even heavensward was mediocre at best

So only ARR was good, retard? Wanna go back to collecting goblin cheese for the banquet?

>>716350992
It's funny learning that most of the hate about Lyse was because of Redditors in 2017 seething about her being a "white savior" for the poor "Mhiggers". Trump winning in 2016 did an insane number on them.
Like this example shows how balanced Stormblood was between her, Hyen, Yugiri, Raubahn, and Gosetsu.

>>716351213
Not that guy but I would have preferred more cheese over the whole of level 91-97 in DT

i have no idea. the player was named 'Unknown 01' in the party list. i only blacklist individuals who play especially poorly, and only have 7 on my list since the last round of changes.

also, i was able to look at their name from their character sheet during the fight

>>716351213
Ay Ciencia mio... don't you mean shredded cheese for authentic tacos???

>>716351213
ARR had buildup to something happening with the sultana dying then completely rolled it back to throw dragon eyes into a hole and watch Ascians get them while people pretend to care about horse fart.

>>716351426
Nanamo's death wasn't rolled back. It was never going to happen in the first place. It's just that they never let new players experience the 1.0 quests that set it up an established Lolorito as trying to stop Teledji-Adeledji and his poison bullshit.

>>716351519
Oh and also writing Minfillia out of the story because her JP VA was too expensive. It's just bad anon.

>>716350743
>Y'shtola is third
Seriously? It sure didn't feel like it given that she seemed to have the last screentime of any of the scions. Is this strictly 5.0 or does it count the 5.x parts too?

>>716351586
It's bad that nobody on the writing team thought it was an issue that only a few thousand players had the full context of the Nanamo assassination plot, yeah. Not because they chickened out or rolled it back or whatever. It played out exactly as it was always intended to as a follow up to that 1.0 plotline.

>>716351852
It's the whole patch series. Elidibus only has like 5 lines in base 5.0.

>>716351382
What was the name so I can blacklist too?

>>716351382
What a weird fucking system

recycled assets all over the place as expected their skeleton crew spends all their time palette swapping

and chat bubbles i guess?

>>716352094
anon, they've been reusing designs, assets and animations from ffxi since 1.0, this game has been reuse since the start. it just comes with the territory.

>>716352094
but enough about basically every other mmo

>>716350614
Based gamerchad.

>>716351852
You spent a LOT of time in Rak'tika in the MSQ, including solo duties with Y'shtola. It's not surprising.

I find it crazy how this game constantly makes awful choices in both story and gameplay and people constantly are hating on it yet it still remains far more popular than WoW. WoW doesn’t even get discussed online anymore and the only reason someone searches it up on google is to see the latest clown troony show that is the story. XIV is fucking dogshit and it’s the best that mmocucks have. How did it end up like this?

>>716352259
>>716352358

next you'll tell me how it's okay relic upgrades are common tomes again making them entirely worthless because they already did that before

>>716352679
You bought demiatmas with tomes? Damn.

>>716352679
well if the step is coming out in .31 its certainly not going to be related to the deep dungeon. could be more OC. could be Sandoria/Jeuno.

it'll still be tomes but named differently so people think its not tomes

>>716352849
Probably light for the first step.

>>716352984
light and tomes are the same shit. except you get a bonus source every hour

>>716352659
Modern MMOs are singleplayer chore simulators and gachas are better at that. The genre is simply on its way out.

>>716352803
twenty jobs are tomes and the upcoming upgrades, to the worthless lazy common trash "relics," are more tomes

>>716353126
ur a faget

yo momma, yoshi!

>>716352659
FFXIV is basically just entirely Second Life rejects these days.
They can't really accept that the game is shit because it's part of their identity and platform for social engagement.

If they stopped playing FFXIV, they'd also stop interacting with all of their friends.

>>716347938

Alexandria was good and am tired of pretending otherwise. First half of the expansion is a waste of time though.

>>716353428
>that Viera

>>716350992

>>716353428
What was your favorite part of Alexandria? Talking to three farmers or going on a tour of the mall's snack selection while you're on a strict time limit to kill their leader?

>>716353496
The snack stuff was before that.
It was the gondola ride, play, awkward parent dinner, and casual flight around a zoo that clogged living memory.

>>716353428
Man did we meme this

>>716353583
Oh you mean Living Memory. Then yes, Living Memory was good. Solution 9 is Alexandria though.

>>716353612
FFXIV is basically just entirely VRChat rejects these days.

Sphene pits randomly being zoomed in on

>>716353681
better

>5.3 seems like it'll have even more big emotional climaxes for Wuk, she's gonna be front and centre yet again
>Also made it clear how fucked S9 is and that Gulool Ja can't lead it
>So Sphene is getting zeroed
There's two things I was hoping for. Stop making Wuk a focus at all, and don't Zero Sphene.

And instead they appear to be fucking up both of them. It's crazy, they've got a character people actually like and want to stick around, and yet they're throwing her away, while giving even more screentime to the retard nobody likes.

I swear to God, if Wuk joins the Scions I'm not coming back for the next expansion.

>>716353595
>we never got a boombox accessory
Shame, squeenix. Shame.

>>716353637
Living Memory really was mostly good. Still so mad Dawntrail drags it down.

>>716353801

Bro? You're mixing up your shitposts. Please refer back to the Discord documentation, sister.

>>716343397
>the VA's work without context.
this actually explains why so much voice acting is complete shit.

>>716353801
Maybe if you spam her enough it'll happen! Keep trying anon!

>That one dungeon boss that looks kinda sorta like Necron
Well, the trial boss definitely isn't Necron

>>716353428
There should be a toggle to generate NPCs or Persona-esque silhouettes in major cities/hubs. Even if they just walk for a bit and then disappear, it'd definitely help some places feel as lively as they're advertised.

>>716353801
>they fake out killing Wuk and kill sphene instead
>Wuk becomes a scion
God please no.

Hiroi is just so shit it could happen

People got a taste of the good juice with XIV and now the WoWfags are desperately trying to control the narrative.

>No, you shouldn't care about having a consistent story, world, and set of characters in your MMO
>It's perfectly fine that every boss is just "[Character] went crazy!"
>Why do you care the the Devs keep adding pozzed shit to the game!?
>It took more than a decade for WoW to add housing, and that's fine!
And so on.

>>716353937
yeah. thats actually why you need someone with acting experience to voice them. they're not reading from the script in its entirety

>>716354012
Neo-Alexander

>>716353681

>these days

Its always been that though.

>>716354031
This will definitely be the end of ff14 if they do this

If wuk dies we'll get two dialogue choices
>Be sad
>Be even more sad but forge ahead

I hope the DD goes well and the matchmaking is retroactively ported to the other three

>>716353801

Wuk is Dawnservant, she can never leave now. She wanted the throne, she finally has it. She can never abandon it now unless she dies.

>>716354031
Yoshi-P isn't completely insane so he won't allow this. They have already been backpedaling.

>>716353637
>>716353836
>living memory was good
No, fuck no. Fuck no are you holding this dog shit opinion that the slog of a final area was good.
Fuck you.

>>716353801
I don't think any Dawntrail specific NPC will stick around, I'm 99% sure this expansion was a test for protagonist characters like Wuk

>>716354012
I would hate that. I can't think of anything good for the trial otherwise.

>>716354204
It was kino. Very melancholy, it felt exactly like the last day of summer when you're a kid in school.

>>716353916
Lol, wonder where I got the 5 from. It's late, I'm tired, you know what I meant.

>>716353958
What kind of retard gets upset about someone discussing XIV in an XIV thread?

>>716340138 (OP)
I remember when Yoship said they were going to be doubling down on wuk and giving her even more screentime. I stopped paying any attention to the game after that, did it actually end up happening?

>>716354204
I understand the intention of the story with living memory but from a gameplay perspective using 1 of the 6 zones for absolutely nothing besides fate and a hunt train seems like a bad idea to me

Just completed 5.3 last night after a year and a half of playing. My hope is 7.5 will be out by the time I'm caught up

Living memory is the opposite of what Ultima Thule should have been.

Destroying a pretty zone instead of turning a hideous zone into something beautiful.

>>716354204
>No. Just no.
Lul.

>>716354271
>it felt exactly like the last day of summer when you're a kid in school.
No it felt like the last day of school and i was finally getting out of that shit hole i was forced to attend and finally have freedom.

>>716354162
Oh yeah, totally, definitely. Let's just ignore that the story very specifically has a second Dawnservant able to look after things while she's away.

There's definitely never been a plan for her to come with us. No siree.

>>716354307
>What kind of retard gets upset about someone discussing XIV in an XIV thread?
You'd be surprised how often this happens lately.

>after a terrible section of story you're left with an ugly area with nothing in it and nothing special about it (until probably next expansion when they convert it into a tribal questline or some shit)

>>716353609
Honestly the big thing for FF14 in general that annoys me with its art design is how anime and exaggerated the artwork and promotional material looks, then you get in-game and everyone is mostly realistic-looking with slightly stylized big anime eyes faces. It's not quite PSO2 bad where you'd have great artwork and then the fuckin' ugly ass doe-eyed doll monstrosities with low res textures, but it's still really jarring.

>>716354492
I was relieved that yawnfail finally gave me something kino.

>>716354312
He never said that, or I definitely don't recall that. I'd guess you probably got bamboozled with a shitpost. And no, her screen time was drastically reduced.

>The other factor was Wuk Lamat. She’s a very complex character, and she even has a bit of a complex about herself. Unfortunately, we didn’t delve very far into the background of why she had those feelings, so it appeared as if she left a negative impression. We accept that feedback. I feel a little sorry that we weren’t able to properly depict her. We may have been able to make her more straightforward, so we’re pushing her in the forefront as this character. But again, we’re going to be reflecting that learning into [content patch 7.1] and onward, we’re hoping that we can show more of what makes Wuk Lamat so great, and I’m hoping that we can regain from there.

yeah this is the interview I was thinking of. unironically cancelled my sub after reading it

>>716353428
I personally liked Alexandria.
But the big problem was that they killed off all the good characters, and kept all the bad ones.
At least until 7.2, when they brought Sphene back.

>>716354968
it's ok when shadowbringers does it

>>716354702
This looks like the designs they had for zodiak/hydaelyn before endwalker

It's like trying to hype up Naruto's character. And even fucking Naruto at least has depths of a shitty childhood for plot purposes, while Lamat basically didn't do anything but venture around with her dad and obtusely grew up culture-blind to the people she wanted to represent. This is all PR speak to try to save face for just how stupid Wuk was.

I bet necron is a zodiark shard

What's with this retard? Are you just being pointlessly contentious for a reason?

>>716354801
>>716354882
Neither of those are about doubling down of her, only that they hope they're able to show what they think makes her great.

And, given the fact her screen time was drastically reduced, that seems to bear out. They're trying to just show her strong parts, and they're including her at a minimum otherwise.

>>716355265

What exactly are you trying to accomplish here by denying text that's right in front of you?

>>716355352
They are not pushing her more to the forefront, they are pushing a more straightforward depiction of her as opposed to how she was in 7.0
It does not say they were planning to give her more screentime

Because you avatarfag without adopting the tripcode?

It's the same with everything in the MSQ. They'll just throw something down, it's a big exposition moment for worldbuilding or some twist or whatever the fuck, and then everyone just immediately moves on besides at best a side comment later.

>>716350073
Phoenix Downs can only be used outside of combat that, right? Which makes them basically useless in dungeons. Especially since the new content has you respawn right outside the boss area you died at.

>>716355490

sirs yes please being noticing the folder dumper surely all those who speak poorly of the dawntrail are in the google doc!

I bet at the minimum wuk gets a statue in solution 9

>>716355590
They're reworking PDs, a 6 minute cooldown but you can basically use them in most normal/story content, treasure dungeons, etc. This includes Trials, so it sounds like mid-combat.

>>716355638
its only tardkino if its 1ow2ard00% sincere

You can't understand the structure of a very simple English sentence. He says that they're going to push Wuk to the forefront. Not that they're pushing a new emphasis to the forefront of her depiction. Pushing WUK to the forefront. Learn English.

he's the secondary protagonist of 2.0 to 6.0. its just as much your story as it is his. which is why it sucks he got put on the backburner in 7.0

You mean the woman who was internally broken?

>>716356362
At least the new alliance raid gear looks nice because it's from a different game.

>>716356261
>still assuming the writers are competent even after several patches of DT

>>716353126
yay another month of sitting around watching Centurio Hunts for hunt trains to be hosted

>>716356362
All this modernslop and I can't even get a trenchcoat like JC Denton for my samurai. This expansion is nothing but one disappointment after another.

I will not play this game anymore if Sphene dies. The rest of my friends already left and I was only playing because I was retarded enough to preorder (they did as well but they left anyway and still haven't touched it). I do not have friends in game. I do not have people to do content with. It's literally just me playing the story because I already spent my money. If Sphene goes I go

>>716356501
Good point, I didn't much like him in ARR, I didn't hate him although the Crystal Braves and his American voice actor made me think he was a bit of a tit. But his complete humbling and growth in Heavensward is where he began to shine as a real character I thought and not an anime character like I felt he was in ARR.
I like him and I've been enjoying his English voice actor playing through the story, him and the English voice actor for Alisaie went through Coils together recently on his stream.

>>716356482
Is that a codex or a grimoire?

or will she be an Arcanist instead of SMN/SCH?

>>716353475
she seems shorter than what we're offered in game, which is relevant to my interests. they're too damn tall.

>>716353729
where? i dont remember this and I want to see it

>Sorry, we can't spoil anything in the trailer, so have rage Wuk instead
Worst trailer as far as I remember.
I hope all the secrecy will be worth it at least.

>>716354683
I once knew someone who knew someone that was an inside guy back in 2.0. He got the hint of "save your Allied Seals for chocobo coloring".
Forgot who it was, been so long.

>>716356670
>Is that a codex or a grimoire?
lets be honest is there any difference? but she is 100% gonna be an arcanist / summoner because she is basically Garnet

>>716356612
Wuk has blood on her hands, that blood could be Sphene's for all we know and Wuk was holding her chest/ her wound and then getting all upset and angry.
I don't think it was Wuks blood and I do think they're going to cuckshed Sphene in 7.3 either kill her off or have her take up the mantle of Queen of Alexandria where she now feels responsible for the people in Solution 9 and Heritage Found.
I fear we are stuck with Wuk as Yoshida wants to explore her character rmore.

>>716356670
She'll probably be a mix of SMN and SCH since Garnet in IX was a SMN/WHM.

Some of you people really don't seem like grown ass men.

>>716353801
>if Wuk joins the Scions
Jesus Christ that's a terrible thought. What's wrong with you? Don't scare people like that.

>>716356602
It's not quite denton but I enjoy wearing the noir longcoat on my sam

>>716356709
>Wuk goes back in time
>To the Sphene trial
>Her face when she hears SPHEENE LISTEN TO ME

>>716356670
>Sphene will get Alexander for some reason because of FF9 memberberries but WoL will get another Bahamut in 8.0

>>716356867
Her name is literally Seventh Dawn apparently. It's bad.

>>716356808
It's gonna be the blood of a random civilian dying in Wuk's arms

>>716356858
We're all GAMs here!

>Wuk isn't the main focus for one patch
>she gets so assblasted jealous that she straight up steals the trailer and probably the big moments of the next patch
most egotistical character in ffxiv

>>716356967
There are people who look at this creepy fucking animal and don't feel repulsed.
Also is /v/ shitting the bed again?

>>716356143
In the trailer, Wuk is angry and talking in the past tense about promising her to protect Alexandrians. She has blood on the palms of her hands and gripping her axe.

Pretty big death flag

>>716357046
The hair, the weird tiara thing, the outfit just everything looks gross

It's not about the players being "mercurial", XIV was never anywhere near a death spiral, there was a downturn in interest because of the weak MSQ and there being nothing else to do for now, but it's still almost as popular as it's ever been.

The /v/ narrative is just completely unhinged, people with no clue talking to each other in an echo chamber until they can only hear their own voices. Ultimately, as always, the thing for XIV is that unlike games like WoW, XIV players enjoy their game.

Still, losing all the momentum from Endwalker on such a bad expansion has gotta have SE kicking themselves.

>>716356921
>SMN WoL will get Alexander summon in 8.0 in rememberance to Sphene just like how WoL got Not-Hydaleyn Bahamut after EW
kino...

>>716352659
>still remains far more popular than WoW
Bro the LL last night didn't even break 50k views with both Youtube+Twitch combined, the average WoW patch release gets more attention than that.
When Blizzard do their big livestreams, they get 1million+ views.

You're fucking delusional.

>>716357070
She promised that to Eternal Queen Sphene, though.

>>716350213
I will always listen to a dub. If I'm gonna read the dialog what's the point in having the voices on at all?

>>716356560
She could internally break me any day

>>716354173
I don't know, man. Them adding the masculine cat female race was an enormous fuck up. I mean, Wuk may come and go after DT is finished, but that horrible fucking race is in the game from start to finish. I've NEVER seen a SINGLE person play one.

Can you imagine wasting such an important slot that we only get a handful of (player character races) on a fucking man-cat-thing? A FEMALE slot, at that, which FFXIV players go nuts for. They couldn't make it more feminine or something?

That is the worst fuck-up in Dawntrail. For all the shit we talk about Wuk and the MSQ, the biggest fuck up was the addition of that race for the last playable race slot.

>>716356963
i'd have sex with all 3
preferably as a male lala

>>716357070
Wuk promised that to Endless Sphene, who is technically a completely different person

>>716356871
They shoehorned a cyberpunk city into Etheirys and they aren't even letting us get anything cool from it. What the fuck? Did we even get any more sci fi armor after the Vanguard set?

>>716357167
lol

>>716345789
Thank god, the coatracks did not deserve that shit. It is bad enough for them to get such heat.

>>716357070
>Wuk is angry and talking in the past tense about promising her to protect Alexandrians.
that was queen sphene the ai, she and real sphene are different and Wuk and real Sphene has not had any actual interactions because Sphene was busy hanging out with WoL and Wuk was told to fuck off.

>blood on wuk’s hand
I’d bet on it being either that resistance elezen or maybe that kid that had lightning AIDS. Sphene will be trapped and betrayed into being some primal core by putting on the tiara.

>>716354347
There's a mod ...one sec ...

There we go. HaselTweaks. It restores the original Living Memory to the cheerful, colorful place it is during the MSQ before they butchered it. And it doesn't require fucking with NewGame+.

Man I’m so excited I took off just to do maps all day, really hoping yan is from maps

>>716357329
think they'd kill Gulool Ja on screen?

>>716340138 (OP)
>12 hours later
>barely 60k viewers
this trailer is going to do awful. bet it going to be stuck around 120-140k lmao

>>716346713
But Hauchefant was actually likable

>>716357710
Sphene is more likeable than Haurchefant.

>>716347262
Meanwhile the conservatives are just lining up to suck Netanyahu’s dick because Trump told them to

I never understood the appeal of haurchefant, he wasn't that central of a character beyond the death scene.

>>716356395
I thought they fired or demoted her or something after 7.0?

>>716345670
Kaine should be Viper wtf is this shit

>>716340507
Some leftover from when she dialated.

>>716358309
she hasn't made any official apperances in awhile. not sure whats with that

>>716356612
>If Sphene goes I go
People mentioned Sphene was an unnecessary character which is why she's disposable and could die. The flip side is that she could also join the scions since she has nothing left and nowhere to go.

So, you might luck out.

>>716357985
he was le nice to us
in the japanese version he was apparently down bad for the WoL but who cares, he was still very bland
his dad is cool especially with the sovlful scene of him writing Heavensward but I really think it's annoying how much people overrate Haurchefant
considering the events of DSR it's also a good thing he died apparently

>Play Guild Wars 1
>Author OC Kormir c9nes out of nowhere amd hijacked the plot, steals my characters glory, and literally becomes God at the end
>Play Guild Wars 2
>Author OC Traehaerne cones out if nowhere and hijacks the plot and steals my character's glory

Is this just a trend in MMO stories? I heard this shit happens in gacha games too.

>>716358562
Stand and let Wuk Lamat resolve.

play final fantasy eleven

>>716357557
The Live letters during Endwalker post patch period were getting 80k concurrent viewers on the Youtube official channel.
This recent one got 38k and it went down to 33k concurrent viewers the longer YoshiP talked for an extended period of time.

>>716357167
It's always been my understanding that WoW has more active players. 24 years breeds a lot of loyalists, plus sunken cost fallacy of people that have created empires out of the characters in that game - thousands of achievements, rare items, etc. I 100% believe WoW has more players by a multitude. It's just hard to be exact because of consoles/Steam and both WoW and FFXIV having private launchers. From the numbers I have seen, WoW has like 3x more players. But I don't think that means it's a better game, either. Personally, I quit WoW in 2009 mainly because the community was so terrible.

>>716356963
wtf kinda cringe ass tiktok-dancing is this supposed to be?

>>716358886
I wish I could like cosmic exploration, it looks cool but I just found it so boring to actually play

>>716358886
what time of day were the endwalker ones?

>>716358979

>>716358562
It happened to WoW, it happened to Star Wars, it just tends to happen a lot where you're some whatever side-character or nobody that gets the grunt work done and everything revolves around the NPCs telling you what to do who are the actually plot important people. Hell, Fortnite does it, and even did the "chosen one OC that's the most important thing in the universe" right now since the start of last year.

>>716358859
I wanted to but starting from ground zero is legit impossible without someone to hold your hand every step of the way.

>>716358886
Got any screenshots of mid stream liveletters from 5 years ago that also show the viewer count?

In FF11 your friends daughter travels back through time to help you become the demigod you were meant to be. No one steals your thunder because up until the very end you are always a grounded person who is on the same level as the npcs around you.

>>716359161
Start playing with friends, or ask for help anywhere.

>>716359035
And people... enjoy this game?

>>716344021
Never played XIV, but why is Kam like 30 feet tall here?

>>716359429
For visibility and because the raid is actually just some faggy lizard making hologram copies of FFXI characters he saw in the Walk of Echoes.

>>716359429
humanoid bosses are generally scaled up a tad so they don't disappear in a sea of players

>>716343703
>>716343775
SPHENE LISTEN TO ME! Yeah... we've got another Sphene listen to me scene from this shit va, holy fuck are the people behind this game absolutely brain dead.
https://youtu.be/LkIN4Zu9Wsw?si=NJaIRGFcUFTBvj9u&t=107

>>716359690
Listen to that fucking animal roid out

>>716359389
That isn't the game. That is a vile corner they have scratched out to play Second Life in.

>>716359690
If the emotion is supposed to be extreme rage or determination, it initially starts out okay with the growling part, but then the flat statement happens. Sena can't fucking emote or shout, it's like quiet-shouting you do to not wake up everybody in the house.
https://youtu.be/RNjZ0GldVx8?t=101
Meanwhile in Japanese it's about what I can expect, Wuk actually yelling her intentions and sounding pretty incensed.

>>716359035

>>716359690
at the very least I'm happy Alphi and Alisaie are by the WoLs side again

Well the alternative is them using the default job weapon out poses. Anon it would cost a savage tier to give them more.

I don't consider healer players to be real people, you are second-class players and barely any better than NPCs

sorry but hrothgals look as dumb as hroth males

Wuk Lamat is the ugliest possible femhroth. Every single femhroth NPC is better looking than her.

>>716343315
>Wuk dying could elevate her to a well remembered character
She'd need to get her own line of dialogue the wol can always refer back to for nostalgiafagging.

Not everybody is as hopelessly desperate as you are.

I would eat it.

>>716362649
You play for whatever reason you want to play and I'll play games for what reason I like to play games for, you enjoy your shitty voice actors I don't and yes it is a deal breaker for me if the shitty voice actor who is also a shitty person keeps getting prominence in the game. My standards are simply higher than yours

They could easily fix player count issues by making it f2p. I'm not worried at all.

So where are they going in 8.0?

are kamlanaut and ealdnarche the same encounter is what i wonder

>>716340138 (OP)
>people suddenly care about deep dungeon
I'm pretty sure everyones always rolled their eyes at deep dungeon content, and the moment they try and do something new with it, it suddenly like the game is saved?

>>716362915
8.0 is another shard, guaranteed. That's the whole point of the key, and it will tie into whatever the new interdimensional cosmic threat is going to be in 7.4/7.5. Calyx revealing that people on other shards know about the shards and the Source is going to be important later.

>>716362845
i'd rather the game die than have to play with f2p subhumans

>>716362996
>I'm pretty sure *fanfiction*

>>716362964
Nah, Eald'narche there is in the Celestial Nexus and Kam'lanaut is in the Stellar Fulcrum, just like in XI.

>>716362964
One to be Feared is already the two-in-one boss, it looks pretty clear that they are separate.

>>716357167

>>716362996
No they already said the dd is 'easier' like HoH and veterans were already eyerolling at Eureka Orthos. It's gotten to the point where if you've simply completed the other DDs you’ll be able to predict everything a mob will do simply based on the enemy model. DD is going to be dogshit boring, and forcing reruns to farm F99 boss keys is going to suck major ass.

>>716363560
>what is this mental illness called
Tortanicitis. /v/ is desperate to see games they don't personally play fail, and any tiny dip in the NUMBERS is a clear indicator it's gonna shut down in two weeks.

>>716363591
ain't gonna die any time soon if the rewards are good, that's just how it is

>>716363560
>What is this mental illness called
Being on the board of Square Enix.

>>716363708
does /v/ even still play games

>>716363763
I don't think Square Enix hawks over Lucky Bancho numbers to tell if the game's dead or not

>>716362996
people are excite for a week. run it once, and then it collects dust for 99% of people...though I guess that's pretty similar to the rest of the content cycle

>>716363804
No, but they did make financial risk decisions based on Covid and WoW exodus numbers being retained and maintained. Hence SE board and CEO are retarded and mentally ill according to you.

>>716363938
I don't think they did that either! Else they would have done what every dumbass on /v/ begs for and pumped a huge amount of money into the game because they saw number went up. The closest they got to it is riding the WoW exodus wave and ending ARR-EW's MSQ earlier than intended, which was probably a bad move in the long term for narrative cohesion and definitely a bad move in the short term due to dropped plotlines like Zenos and the Telophoroi, which got as far as Zenos's intended Endwalker or pre-Endwalker costume being added to Dissidia NT later than announcement because it was supposed to be a spoiler.

>>716364051
fairly sure the exodus happened wayyyy to far into EW dev for them to make such grand decisions for it based on that

>>716356858
No on on this site is, yourself included. Welcome.

>>716364051
This game really could use more budget and manpower though.

So Quantum is basically Mythic.. Wowfags won.

>>716364051
Fairly sure they took FF14 money and did exactly that, pumped it into other projects and games with the expectation that Covid and WoW exodus numbers would be maintained.
Foamstars was bought and paid for with that money as was Forspoken, FF16's two dlcs and FF16 itself was funded from FF14 but that was less so to do with Covid because development began in 3.3 for FF16.
Killer Inn is the latest game coming out at SE which is an Among Us clone you should play it, after all it was your sub money that bought and paid for the development of that game.

>>716364246
>get to play the good part of wow without having to play wow
what's the downside

>>716364164
Dissidia NT is the sticking point for that train of thought, this got as far as being modeled and added to FFXIV proper in a Shadowbringers cutscene before they decided nah and made him a Reaper. This costume was withheld from NT for a little while because it was going to be story important!
>>716364192
Manpower yes, budget unrelated to manpower I don't think so.

>>716364332
it's been railed against for years here

>>716364389
Adding Mythic wholesale as a whole-ass gearing method and gameplay style was railed against, variable difficulty itself is fine

>>716364246
sure, and delves are variants

>>716364309
they used XIV as a cash-cow long before the wow exodus was a twinkle in yoshida's eye thoughever
and still are after it's largely blown over and most of them have or are in the process of fucking off

>>716364716
Other companies do the exact same thing, too.

>>716364745
it's the whole concept of live-service, even
sony is STILL trying to find "their own fortnite" that they can use to fund dumb naughty dog movie shit forever

>>716363053
Agreed. I quit SW:TOR a decade ago when they went f2p because it absolutely destroyed the game.

>>716364716
Exactly, they're still taking FF14 money but haven't change their financial expectations from the game from the Covid/ WoW exodus era.
It's exactly why the cashshop has been so aggressive this past 7 months compared to previous years.

>>716364809
>It's exactly why the cashshop has been so aggressive this past 7 months compared to previous years.
i haven't noticed it be any more aggressive than it normally is
there's more stuff from the korean and chinese cash shops i guess

>>716364246
It's literally just a mini ultimate. If you touch any of the knobs to turn down the difficulty you will not get shit for rewards.
