Tomorrow we are ending the journey of our lives

thank fuck

hopefully you are ending your life

>>717259046 (OP)
What are your predictions?
I think
sphene dies and wuk pledges to adventure with us to honour her

>>717260898
that's the worst ending this expansion could get

Has nobody ever been bothered by the plothole Endwalker opens up with dynamis?
It's said that dynamis can't be used by ancients cause they're too special.
But Elidibus uses limit break which people say is dynamis.
That's a huge egregious gaping writing mistake and nobody calls it out?

>>717260898
Sphene will be written out in some way. Making the only thing we got from all of DT a cum chalice.

>>717260898
SPHEEEEEEEEENE LISTEN TO ME

>>717262448
What was Elidibus doing during 5.3 that is different from his usual state of being?

Hopefully Wuk Lamat gets killed off and Sphene becomes part of the "Scions"

Fuck, id literelly kill off Yshtola if it meant killing off Wuk Lamat, trust me, sacrifies need to be made, no matter how painful.

Also fuck Solution Nine in general, WoL basically lives there these days.

Me resubbing and finally attempting M8S is based on the former points. Yoshi P don't fkn let us down.

Spoiler

Calyx: "Yes, I once was considered Ascian, but I had my own desires, becoming sundered, living forever, thus why I need the key, let me travel to other realms and become my true self."

>>717263078
heckin brave and valid

My prediction is we are knighted by Sphene, and we're left on a cliffhanger proposing marriage

>>717262448
He did it through the summons.

>>717263236
Imagine. But if she’s killed off after being hyped up for a combat class (and for the trial) then I’m unironically cutscene skipping from now on and gonna make constant doompost videos about how XIV hates female characters.

>>717262448
>cause they're too special
They just have way too much aether to use it. Elidibus uses it because its the spirits of the other heroes he summons across the rift that are using it.

>>717263613
she looks really nice
her outfit is great too

>>717263882
What will cement it for me is if Tataru designs something for her too.

Won't spoil things but..

Someone does die, but its not Sphene, and is actually kinda sad who it is, not a scion but :(

>>717262448
Elidibus channels limit breaks through the essences of the sundered from the shards. He can't do limit breaks/dynamis himself, but he can use the power of the sundered heroes. Iirc that's explicitly why he summons them to begin with.

>>717264397
lil mooj....

>>717264397
not the cornservant.....

>>717264397
rip my wife shale...

>>717264397
God I hope its wuk. Its probably the ugly lizard kid though.

>>717264397
HOARY BOULDER NOOOOOOOOOO

>>717264472
At least tag as spoiler, but he goes out like a giga chad atleast, his dad respects +++

>>717260898
chill out satan

>>717264618
>Its probably the ugly lizard kid though.
Tesleen died for nothing then ;_;

>>717264551
You’re not wrong.

>>717265721
She's out of bounds in a dungeon yelling "take this" and casting ARC spells in a loop at a robot

>>717259046 (OP)
>zepla is now grifting gw2
what happened with genshin and wow?

>>717264618
>it's actually kinda sad
>wuk
Yeah nah.

>>717265721
UHHHMMMMM SHALEBROS...????

>>717260898
Wuk is elevated to Scion after Sphene's death. Everyone is super sad, another funeral. Then Wuk swears she will maintain Sphene's wishes for Peace, Happiness and will Smile for her.

>>717260898
I doubt that your prediction regarding Wuk will happen. No way, it would be such an idiotic decision and would make people so mad.

>>717262448
>which people say is dynamis
There's your problem. People are making assumptions again because Dynamis is new and exciting. We don't know much more than what we see in-game, and aether has been shown to react to emotional states as well, albeit not to the absurd degree that Dynamis can. There aren't any areas on Eorzea that have notable aether stagnation that would allow Dynamis to manifest to do crazy shit like that, that was the whole point of Zodiark's existence.

>>717259046 (OP)
Ackphineau

>>717266167
Scrubs like the Boulder brothers and Arenvald were or are Scions, so Wuk Lamat being given the title honorarily doesn't actually mean a lot.

>>717266391
LBs are brief, concentrated bursts of power as a result of a heightened emotional state, panic, adrenaline, etc. I wouldn't say that the existence of a momentary battle high gathering enough dynamis to overcome the ambient aether for an instant is too strange.
But the fact that Elidibus used LBs in 5.3 wasn't a contradiction of the stated rules of dynamis either.

Do any of you lads play this game on linux? What's the proper way of installing this besides running the steam version?

>>717266515
I wonder if they’ll ever give them a new name. It was so retarded to disband them, but still have the A-team together. Then also hint the B-teams were going to other places but do nothing with them. Love Endwalker’s conclusion but it had too much of “kill the past if you have to!”

>>717266575
You're kinda pigeon-holed into running the Steam version regardless, but there's a build of XIVLauncher for Linux mostly intended for Steam Decks that works if you want one-click launching and the other goodies or mods. It piggybacks off of the free trial version's download.

>>717266515
Hoary Boulder was keeping all of Eorzea and Gyr Abania under control while we were out dealing with the shiny new threats, the guy is also the reason why many people believe in the scions and the WoL. Man's out there making our lives easier so the least we could do is give him and Coultenet, the Sisters, Ocher, and the two Roes, Alianne, Alianne's grandpapa and the two roes who show up out of nowhere a proper fucking adventure.

Dawntrail would've been a great opportunity since unlike the main scions, the B team are actually Adventurers. Let's hope we get to do things with Riol once we go to Meracydia

>>717260898
Wuk Lamat heroic sacrifice....
Sphene onahole minigame....
Squeenix pls....

>7.5
>the Boulder Twins and their shared wife show up and they start talking about how they travelled to Meracydia and saved the universe from the 8th Shard and also Hoary Boulder is a Blitzball player
>no you can't visit, 8.0 is a Dalmascan expansion
Would you clap?

>>717266692
If they regret it enough, they'll probably pull back on it.

>>717266952
>no you can't visit
I would mail poop half way across the world to yoship's PO box.

>>717266806
>Wuk Lamat heroic sacrifice....
People would piss for 5 more years about how they wasted time and energy giving le cringe troon furry a sendoff and how that is totally worse than having actual LGBTQ crap in the game.

>>717267026
Can't wait for Aenor's Amorous Adventures

Tomorrow is the Rubicon of FFXIV

>Wuk dies
Thousands will resub, saving the game

>Wuk joins the Scions
Thousands will unsub and the game will die

>>717266952
8.0 Is based in a new shard, very FFX style, the key malfunctions and randomly takes the WoL to the new place. It has many ffx tropes

>>717260898
Hauchespheen will sacrifice herself after merging with AI Sphene to save us all. Everyone will be very sad. Lots of flashbacks to the coffee scene where WoL and Sphene had a drink. Wuk will not become a Scion and get Lyse'd.

>>717267141
You just know.

I don't get why Lyse was so hated. She was an idiot, but at least she knew she was an idiot.

>>717267297
People got pissed about how she acted when 1st going back to Ala Mhigo.

>>717267297
I always liked Lyse, fucking hot, especially when compared to woke lamat

>>717267297
I never hated Lyse, but I didn't play when SB was the active expansion

>>717267297
Lyse is boring and barely relevant in her own expansion
Wuk Lamat is unironically a greentext of what people think Lyse is

>>717264397
Oh man, poor Krile..

>>717266515
Don't care, if she's made a Scion honorary or full then say goodbye to the last of the MSQ enjoyers the 'Casuals'. We don't simply want Wuk gone from the story now, we want certainty that she will never, ever return.
This is what we've been asking for, for over a year now so let's see if they deliver or keep the Monster around in some fashion

lyse wasn't even bad idk where this shit comes from, the national anthem thing was goofy and corny but when the fuck isn't a final fantasy game that way?

>>717266382
That's why it will happen, anon.

>>717267692
Lyse insisted upon herself during SB

>>717267297
She's proto-Wuk. She's not as bad as Wuk, but had some of the same energy back then, and that was the first time we were exposed to that.

wuk will redeem herself and become everyone's favorite character

>>717267757
How does he eat so much junk food but look like a skeleton?

>>717267767
I mean it is her homeland, and by that point we've been friends with her for awhile

>>717267814
If they pulled that off, I would be very impressed
Bonus if all the English VA was re-recorded by a hot latina woman

>>717267827

>>717267883
>Bonus if all the English VA was re-recorded by a hot latina woman
I'm so sorry.
https://youtu.be/LkIN4Zu9Wsw?si=XtwALoMgpsVgWAk4&t=104

>>717267814
nyo lol
nothing could make people go from hating wuk to loving her. nothing. not 10 ishikawas on crack

>>717268017
No...
My hopes...
My dreams...

>>717267972

>>717259046 (OP)
Tomorrow we'll get to hear "Smile" used inappropriately yet again while Solution 9 is shot up like usual. I can't wait to see how big of a shitshow 7.3 is compared to past .3 patches in terms of story quality.

>>717267789
Zero was proto-Wuk. Lyse actually didn’t take up the entirety of Stormblood screen time and was around from the beginning and the region had lore relevance AND she formally left at the end of base story.
Lyse was hated because it was astro-turfed by redditors because she was a “White Savior” to the “Poor Mhiggers”.

>>717268017
I saw Y'shtola cast a spell!
We're back!!!

>>717268017
This is just before it's revealed that the Wuk we knew was some sort of weird clone created through some process thats a setup for the next expansion, and we get to meet a new, real Wuk who is hotter and has a better voice.

>>717267972
Nobodys got aids, and I don't wanna hear that word in here again!

>>717268207
Nobody ever points out WoL doing a cinematic jumping attack. I bet it’s in the trial (if you’re doing duty support) so you actually do a finishing blow lol. Obvious reception to the Speeeeeeen! moment.

>>717267297
She brought self-awareness and realism to a cast that badly needed it (especially considering how autistic Yda was), but considering most people play this game just to see their OC become god I guess it's not that shocking that she got the criticism she did

>>717267297
Redditors because she was White blonde and blue eyed.

>>717268017
>Wuk limit breaking again at the end
ugh
please no

>>717260898
Dear god plesse let this happen it would be so fucking funny

Tomorrow I make a new Hrothgar black mage who wears silly mage hats and will be fully clothed and not homosexual.

>>717267814
that's what the writers want but it's going to fall flat and just make everyone hate wuk even more because it'll make her seem even more retarded than she already is.

>>717268583
Hot
Sluthroths don't do it for me. Give me a respectful dadhroth any day

>>717260898
They literally can't do this because they know half the playerbase would quit on the spot, even JP hates Wuk.

>>717259046 (OP)
damn Alfie your life isn't that bad
I mean sure you're indistinguishable from your sister and that's your biggest appeal, but come on

>>717268173
>Lyse was hated because it was astro-turfed by redditors because she was a “White Savior” to the “Poor Mhiggers”.
Anon please.

>>717262448
OUR limit breaks are fueled by Dynamis.
Elidibussy uses other peoples' souls to fuel his.

big fan of hroth women

What will his gimmick be?

>>717268296
I'll always welcome my character actually getting to do SOMETHING.
What was the last time? Zenos fight at the end of Endwalker? I don't count 6.5. That was just our character jumping into a void anus while all the NPCs were actually doing something.

So I stopped after endwalker.

Are we still fighting the fucking ascians?

I thought we dicked Venat, and tied up that whole plot.

EWbabby here
My schizotheory is SB was retroactively decided to be "the bad one" because it got sandwiched between the fanfavorites of HW and SHB. Are there any oldfags who remember when Selene could AoE Esuna or whatever that can confirm how SB was recieved on launch?

>>717268920
no…?

>>717268823
Thank you for having common sense. I've seen the "Elidibus can do Limit Break so Dynamis is bullshit" shit thrown around so often by lorelets.

>>717260898
the funniest thing would be that they didn't write out wuk becoming a scion but she gets moenbryda'd in the very next patch as an emergency fix

>>717262448
They've had plotholes like that since SHB.

>>717268017
I still have no idea what they were thinking putting a tranny as the VA. It's not even a good VA. It's a bad VA propped up by "oh god no we can't fire XIR" crap

>>717268920
They mention an ascian once in the 6.5 msq and that's it. There are no ascians in the rest of the msq after 6.0.

>>717267692
She was pretty bad, mate.
>Does literally nothing except kick two guys the entire expansion while you work your ass off, but everyone treats her like she’s deserving of being a leader.
>Also spends the entire expansion calling essentially every person from every nation a coward, getting blown the fuck out in a chiding response, and then goes and hides somewhere to brood. Multiple times.
>Shown to be hot headed and make retarded decisions. Every mistake she makes or involves her self with is just fixed because you’re around.
>Even the leader of the resistance can’t give an ACTUAL REASON for why she should be the leader as he’s dying.

>>717268920
>Are we still fighting the fucking ascians?
No. Not for now.

>>717260898
Smile (primals version) will play at the most inappropriate time, likely to accompany Wuk saving everyone via using a a chain of LB4s(because she's sooo special guys)

So did the VA go to shit this expansion?

I’ve been thinking about returning

>>717267297
>I don't get why Lyse was so hated
>HEY GUYS, I FUCKED OFF FROM HERE TO SAVE MY ASS WHEN THE INVASION STARTED
>I PRETENDED TO BE MY SISTER FOR YEARS BUT LOL SHE DIED AGES AGO
>ANYWAY, RANDOM VILLAGERS, PLEASE DIE FOR ME AGAINST THE GARLEANS
>wtf no
>OMG YOU'RE SUCH CUNTS GO DIE FOR ME
Gee I wonder.

>>717269076
just wait for a free login campaign if you're only interested in watching the story circle the drain.

>SPEEEEEN dies
>Smile plays at her funeral scene

>>717269076
Let me put this in perspective. The new MC Wuk Lamet is 99% of the voice lines and story lines to the point that they/she/he/it has more dialogue than every other character now even the fucking twins since ARR

>>717268967
Everyone loved Stormblood (and Lyse) when it was current.
The only people who weren't were evil twitter social justice warriors who hated her for being a white savior.

Maybe 8.0 would be china?

i mean players and people talking some shits about 8.0, like it will be new world, it will be ARR locations, it will be australia/meracidia, or new world but we kinda forggetting china?

some you know pandas/funny dragons, fireworks, meatpies. we had already russia, europe, amerika regions, india, eastern asia like kazakhstan/mongolia but we kinda have china.

of course japanese don't like chinese. but everyone suck chinese ass this days, and we have special china servers, and we have special ff14 china mobile.

>>717269217
I still have no idea why they invented a new continent when "Not Japan" exists already in the lore. With the Garleans gone they have no reason to be super autistically closed off from the world.

It just feels so fucking random to invent this crappy world for a "vacation" when Japan literally exists in game

>>717269013
It's Kate, she picked Sena as the VA for Wuk for the English localisation. I don't understand it either, ideology aside as you say and I'm in agreement it's not even a good performance, it's bloody awful and grates the ears.

>>717268967
SB was considered the "bad" one since it released after HW. People didn't like job gauge, loss of cross class abilities, story wasn't bad but didn't reach HW peaks, and people didnt like Deltascape much. That said, it was the only time more effort was put into the game on all fronts and overall is probably the best expansion at its relevance.

>>717269175
It's crazy how you could change so many of these posts from Stormblood to Dawntrail and Lyse to Wuk and it'd look almost 100% like posts bitching about Dawntrail and claiming it to be the final end of the game today.

>>717269027
>doesn't hog the spotlight
>is constantly called a dumb bitch for her ideals
>nearly tempered an entire room of leaders
This is miles better than Wuk Lamit. The only odd thing is her being set up as Gyr Abania's leader instead of Raubhan.

>>717267692
Lyse was just a strict downgrade from HW since she was never as impactful as Edmond or Ysayle but basically took up both roles as narrator and "party" member. If the narration in stormblood wasn't all from her pov I feel like people would care about her less

>>717267642
I think the casuals will get over it, furious obsessive Wuk Lamat hate is the domain of rage Youtubers and people that don't actually play the game like AthenaAreia running FF16 b-roll in the middle of complaining about FF14.

>>717269076
The voice acting is fine, it’s just one character that people have an issue with.
The three main lizard dudes of the expansion all have kino voices.

>>717269217
Doma is China

>>717269076
They hired a bunch of ((((("Americans"))))) who proceeded to throw a tantrum about AI. Like half the fucking expansion isn't even voiced lol. They had to rehire a bunch of the brits to fix the lack of voiced for half a year.

They made Lyse boring. They should have kept her autistic and goofy. They made her too serious when we have an entire cast of serious.

Y’shtola is sassy and serious
Thancred is a whore and serious
Alphinaud is serious
Estinien is serious
Alisae is Sassy lite, and serious
Urianger is serious
Krile is a dumb bitch
Minfilia was serious and dead

>>717269269
I hate that cunt like you wouldn't believe

>>717269365
>AthenaAreia
Don't call xir by xir chosen name. Call xir by xir "deadname": Volkeroathsworn.

I remember HW was the same lol. Doomers when it came out over the story being about “church bad”.

>>717266952
>marrying a woman named after an STD symptom

I coulda hooked them up with a couple nice lizard girls.

>>717269319
The only people that didn't like SB were story only fags, and DRK and MCH mains (because it played like ass but was still one of the best DPS)

if I play this stupid shit again I'm skipping every fuckign cutscene fuck your talking head bullshit

>>717269217
Half of Stormblood was China and Mongolia, bro. Yanxia isn’t a Japan-Adjacent name.

>>717269483
The only time XIV was good was a brief moment in ARR for like a patch or two. Get with the program.

>>717269484
The lizard girls are all for me. I'm the Khan.

>>717269495
I miss John Madden MCH...

>>717269319
I literally dislike SB exclusively for the Y'shtola ryona and writing her out of the plot in the most heavy handed way possible.

>>717269337
Doom...
Doom never changes...

>>717269509
You can't skip them anon :^^^^)
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyJ7fxN5YQ0

Wait I just googled that Wuk bitch. If she has more lines then ARR characters that probably means she’s going to join or be a constant presence going forward right? That’s a huge investment for square

>>717260898
Wuk becomes a permanent party member

>>717269217
Maybe it would be something fucking original like Eorzea was and not some shitty notCountry gimmick.

>>717269365
>I think the casuals will get over it
What gave you that impression? It's a year after Dawntrail 7.0 and we're still pissed off.

>>717269628
She should've died there desu.

>>717269217
Not-China is part of Orthard. We only saw like, the harbor area with all the chingchong names and shit. There's a fuckhuge mountain blocking us from walking farther than the one optional dungeon allowed. If we really are going back to Kugane, we're probably walking to whatever water margin ass plotline they cooked up for the main body of Orthard.

>>717269675
She is now 90% of the game. I'm not even shitting you. She had more voice lines than ANY other character even the fucking twins since ARR. And with the most recent patch she has the most of any character in the game.

FFXIV is literally just "Wuk" the game

>>717269442
>They made her too serious when we have an entire cast of serious
If you think we've had an entire cast of serious the whole time (especially in ARR) you are turbo crazy nigga
Also Urianger and Y'shtola are not serious characters, they're blatant chuuni fantasies. Estinien is a bit of one but considering what he had to go through in HW he deserves to have his fun.

>>717269509
>if I play this stupid shit again I'm skipping every fuckign cutscene
Not so fast there skipper chuddy.

>>717269670
nigga how tf is cyberbullying real i'll just walk away
that's what kind of game XIV is it just makes me want to leave my computer entirely

>>717269675
Pretty unlikely since everyone hates her.

>>717269675
In past expansions the lead was maybe 8-10% of total lines

>>717260898
the retarded cat is now literally in charge of the scions anon

>>717269760
So true. They even went back to remove characters from previous expansions and replace them with Wuk.

Soon.

>>717269675
I fucking hope not, but I can't tell with Yoshida these days what he'll do.

>>717269391
>Doma is China
>>717269547
>Yanxia isn’t a Japan-Adjacent name.
actually i thought all those was japan but yea looks like doma is china.

well anyway. im not sure anyone would be interested in pseudo-australia, no one knows even what is it, as a thing

should've just let the ascians win

>>717269939
I don't care for Y'shtola.

every JRPG has to have that party member you don't like.

>>717270053
begone woman

>>717270109
I am not a woman. I just don't care for Y'shtola.

Raped

>tfw haven't played since around January
Man, sure am glad I have a lot of content to play soon.

He’s melting down again. Tonight’s the night. Or something.

>>717270162
I was joking before but you being retarded now makes me think you are

>>717270053
We know Ishokawa
Too bad your boss loves her and has 2 TB of CatxWoL porn on his company laptop(at home)

>>717270251
>homosexual man LARPing as a woman with a crown and red lipstick
That's hilarious, actually.

>>717269442
I honestly put Thancred on a pedestal because he's a secret agent style character on a team of like 7 spellcasters who know lore.

The fact that the ratings get worse with every subsequent patch is insane

>>717270251
Same energy. It’s such a weird obsession to do for just minimal views/income.

>>717264397
>final cornservant quest makes you cook and eat him
Dark as fuck

>>717260898
If Wuk isn't Lyse'd then it means YoshiP explicitly wants to kill the game. There's no way they aren't aware of how much of the fanbase hates her regardless of what lies Kate or whoever from the West tells.

>not even in the top 10
dead troonslop

/v/ /v/ on the wall
what do i do with all these loparasols and this one vacuum suit identification key in my bags

>>717270491
That way he is always with us, he's big corn, and I am too. No, he's the two of us together.

>>717270450
What drives a person to do this? Those niggas obessed with DSP have been doing this shit for over 10 years.

>>717270394
The Main store page has more reviews and its more positive.

>>717270510
You realize you can shit on the game without having to have a meltdown about troons right

WHERE THE FUCK IS METEION?!?!?!?! I WANT TO SEE HER AND SHOW HER THE WORLD WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING YOSHITPISS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>717260898
Real Speen becomes queen again, the regulator shit is swept under the rug, Wuk gets Lyse'd and the patch ends with us getting on a ship back to Limsa after some "tearful" goodbyes.

so what did elidibus mean by "Should this star continue on its course" is that just forgotten about?

>>717260898
Peak. Fund it.

>>717270450
Totally unrelated to Pirate or Wuk or anything else.
But god do I hate this samey slop clickbait thumbnail format.

>>717270571
It's almost like it's just this expansion that is shitting itself dramatically

>>717270554
money
basically whoring themselves out for clicks
as to why people watch that shit, basically they desperately want to find people with worse lives than them to make themselves feel better

>>717270602
It would be fun to give her the Alpha and Omega treatment and just have her show up in random locations

>>717270602
It could unironically be a pretty good sidequest series a la Tataru's Grand Endeavor or the Omega quests (but bigger).

>>717270652
If you haven't realized they retconned the FUCK out of the original plans for this expansion I don't know what to tell you. There's a reason it's so heavily dipping into ARR quest styles

>>717267827
He is a man denied a good meal, leaving him persistently smouldering with rage just beneath the surface, which helps burn calories.

>>717270053
Honestly? Same I've never understood what's appealing about her. She's a bit stuck up her own arse, a bit of a know it all, can't do any wrong.
Give me Alisaie and Krile any day but Yshtola I can go without.

>>717270690
Its almost like most people will leave reviews on the main game's page and not on the Expansion store page. Hence 65 recent reviews versus 325

So, the MSQ has to
>resolve Calyx
>while resolving how he knows about the Azem crystal and the cum chalice
>resolve flesh Sphene wanting or not wanting to be part of S9 any more
>resolve the AI Sphene the citizens are now following
>resolve the fear of death the people of S9 now have
>resolve the bots constantly attacking the city
>resolve the regulator thing
>resolve lil guys plot
>resolve Wuk Lamat's plot

That is a lot of questions needing an answer and I doubt the answers will be sparking much joy.

>>717270824
She's aight. I don't want her gone, but she's probably among the weakest of the Scions for me, and the gachafag and gooners' insistence on her being what's needed to "save da xiv" is a little embarrassing.
In a vacuum, I don't object to more scenes with her, of course. Or Krile.

>>717270894
yoshida said on the liveletter that the story is going to be longer than usual so they can probably tie up all these loose ends.

>>717259046 (OP)
I’m so excited man

>>717269217
yoshida said we could be going to more not-japan not-china places right
but I thought we already explored doma and yanxia, and even not-mongols in azim steppe
what area is left to explore there
not-korea?

>>717270894
Don't forget: it needs to add a credits sequence with the Scions on the beach having fun.

What plot does she even have anon? She came with us to find out where the earring came from and she found out about it and her parents.

>>717268871
sorry chuddy hildibrand quests are the only time your character gets to do something

>>717271089
Krile isn't even on the patch art...

>>717270824
It's partially because she's the only waifu option available for men who want a female that actually looks like a female. She also scratches the 'mommy' itch, and on the rare occasion she gets to do anything aside from deliver exposition she has some pretty fun dialogue and dynamics. A big part of why 6.1 was so well-received was because of her.

Compare to fucking Alisaie who prior to the Wuk'ening constantly tried to be the center of attention and Krile who is just Y'shtola-lite.

>>717271327
>fuck y'shtola
Yeah I am.

>>717271379
it's ok when western company does it

Very little. Putting her in was absolutely forced and only served to sell PCT.

>>717266952
>Dalmasca
Who's writing it

>>717271510
Milala lore is absolutely coming back though.
They made us do a whole quiz about it

>>717271548
The best part is that would actually work because the moon was made from Hydaelyn with her light and Zodiark's energy was still leaking out. Plus even the Amoratians' souls were still there

>>717271607
Hell yeah, burry DT 8 feet deeper with shit no one cares about.

>>717271689

Then whose vagina do we come out of

>>717271510
What do you mean little? She got her answer and only thing left is to go that shard ( which I think we will do) but doesn’t even make sense to do that because the source is her home and she didn’t sound like she wanted to go there

>>717271395
Guess Lalafel Chili is on the menu for supper tomorrow

>>717271327
Venat is the platinum medal but since we'll never see her again a cat is fine too.

>>717271363
Basically there because they needed another character slot filled, and being a lalafell she's 'safe' from triggering the ire of the female playerbase.

>>717271548
huh???

Guild Wars 2 HYPE

>>717260898
all of this could happen, along with the new scions being led by wuk, zero, and lyse, and it would still be better than WoW https://files.catbox.moe/nirqhq.mp4

What do we think?

Unlike wow and xiv, Arenanet fired the tranny writers and unpozzed the game.

i hate zoomers and their obsessions with metrics. if numbers is all that matters you bugmen should be playing something like fortnite or whatever slop is mainstream these days

>>717271994
I'd say G'raha should fuck off too since he's Ishikawa's pet but he was surprisingly tolerable in DT, so I'd accept him if we get an at least equal amount of Y'shtola.

>>717272107

Same for Gulool Ja I guess but that seems incredibly unlikely.

utterly fucking delusional. DT is the first bad xpac and you expect anyone to think it's as bad as wow's 5th bad xpac in a row? blizzard is paying indians to swarm these threads aren't they?

Yea but she would probably go back to the first asap so she would probably not join us

https://youtube.com/@lizard14?si=AOxMMpzVobo34xcL

dead game

>>717272386
I'd say there's a 70% chance Sphene dies. It is a long established pattern that any conventionally attractive female within the MSQ with more than 10 lines who isn't Y'shtola must die by the end. But I'm giving them a benefit that they have to be feeling the heat from the constantly diminishing playerbase. Also willing to bet the majority are expecting it.

>>717271396
I loved Shadowbringers Alisaie, I hated Dawntrail Alisaie. They ruined my girl.

>>717272417
>DT is the first bad xpac
Endwalker is pretty fucking terrible too.

If Wuk gets written out I'll draw my Hroth eating her after this patch, if she does not what should I draw?

xiv is le bad now please come play wow we have black people and twice as many tranny VAs

Motherfucker add a warning next time.

>>717272417
>DT is the first bad xpac
shadowbaby missing out on release stormblood

>>717271127
what really gets me besides the obvious wuk oversaturation is that dt has almost twice as many lines total in that top 20 chart. there is no fucking reason for such a boring plot to be that long and it makes everything worse

>>717272702
>forced to choose between two flavours of shit
How's Guild Wars 2 doing now days?

I still dont get why people like the cat hag so much
She literally has no personality and development other than the pursuit of knowledge and le mommy
Unironically the only moment I liked for her was when she told the Ea to fuck off and said she would live as she did even knowing if someday she'll day but some uncontrollable force.

>>717272628
why would I know or care about some au ra tranny?

>>717272601
>most boring character ever, that is only liked because people fetishize giraffe people, is actually a traitor
That would be so lame.

>>717272686

>>717272601
Calyx is so sexy!

>>717272648
I still wonder why people think wuk is going to travel with us to other shards, she is way too important to be away for x amount of time in a new world. Her brother wouldn’t let it happen

>>717272671
everybody bitching dawntrail is the worst ever are emet-selch fujos and give endwalker a pass purely because he showed up a lot there, regardless of the expansion itself past 6.0 having no content, and i am not joking at all

guys
what is the 7.3 custom deliveries NPC?

>>717272794
>How's Guild Wars 2 doing now days?
They fired the trannies and the game is getting better each expansion

I don't think anyone will die. The trailer is always cut in a way to misdirect, because they love nothing more than "subverting expectations".

>>717272803
Legitimately the only person who wants the cat boy

>>717270894
Are we actually certain 7.3 is the end of the dawntrail arc? Endwalkers patch void thing (which was good and none of Wuks flaws are in any way reflected in Zero) went right up to 7.5 didn't it
At the very least even if Dawntrail is mostly wrapped up this patch I don't think everything with Calyx will be fully resolved yet, wouldn't surprise me if he's a major part of next expansion even

Also I don't want the fear of death stuff to be resolved so quickly.

>>717272935
It's not nice to lie to people, marketer-kun.

>>717272880
don’t worry we know you’re not joking about the retarded shit you actually believe

you’re very stupid and out of touch with the broader playerbase

>>717272610
You should get out more, she's still very much deeply hated on the Forums, on Reddit, on JP blogsites and their imageboards, basically anywhere that isn't heavily moderated by people who have anxiety attacks from hearing their phone ring, she's hated.

>>717273024
yes i also work myself up into a negativity spiral over le tranny cat and will literally look the other fucking way when endwalker has NOTHING. not even bad things or things that don't land. literally nothing

>>717272761
>Top: Game designed for men
>Bottom: Game designed for women

>>717272795
She's the last bastion for the average waifufag. Also sassy catmommy. Her main flaw is just that she doesn't really get enough to do aside from exposition.

>>717272958
Remember when 5.3 trailer dropped and it show g'raha with hit with a purple beam? Ended up being fucking nothing lol

>>717273035
The power of determination and friendship has always been a thing, anon.
They just gave it another name.

>>717272795
Because she opened up a lot and is a fun person to have around. Also incredibly competent in battle and always has your back... I really don't know where this 'no character' thing comes from when everyone outside of G'raha, who had his entire expansion, is like that.

>>717273060
Is ESO worth playing if I want to erp as an Argonian and get my cloaca (male) stuffed with Nord cock?

>>717269269
They are Xitter buddies, it's clear cut nepotism

>>717272671
I know I’ll get called a retard for this.
But I at least enjoyed the MSQ dungeons and trials in Dawn Trail. I had to be awake. Got to see some new nice skills in my rotation. Some tighter mechanics than what we’ve been used to. Rousing battle music for sub and final dungeon bosses.
There is no content in Endwalker that wasn’t fucking horribly boring meanwhile, except ONE interesting solo duty that ends up being pointless anyways.

>>717273136
>Everyone brought it to him and he ignored it
HMMMMM.

>>717273178
no, the models are fucking hideous and half the races look like aliens, nobody erps in that game

>>717273128
6.0 was a good story
it had good side stories
pandaemonium was good
island sanctuary was lame but it was something i guess
variant/criterion was a mixed bag. it wasn't actually bad, but didn't have enough rewards and wasn't a worthy replacement for forays
myths of the realm was a disappointment
6.x story was bleh but not godawful enough to be offended
eureka orthos was unfortunately doa

>>717272104
I know narrative wise it's tricky because he's wrapped up in a role quest but Arenvald

Not at all, I enjoyed a lot of Endwalker, absolutely the obvious one would be the MSQ and the trials in the 6.x like Rubicante and Golbez, the dungeons were aesthetically fun if not a bit mechanically samey.
It just didn't have enough large multiplayer content, Island Sanctuary should have been PVE crafting with a bunch of people, you invite all your friends or you can go help out a friend on their private Island, not solo shit.
Same with Variant/ Criterion it appealed too much to the raider crowd and not to the people who love dungeons.

sphene isn't joining. she's a DT character only
wuk isn't dying either, she has a mahjong voice over

you know wuk will be back for the end of this arc at the very least.
i'm still mad that hilda didn't appear during EW tho

No, they didn't just give it a name, they directly addressed and quantified it which is retarded. Friendship(tm) is fine as a soft power that you know happens but don't acknowledge, what Dynamis did was the equivalent of parents telling their teenage kid how often they still fuck and where in the house they do it.

>>717273742
I’m sorry, I was specifically referring to 6.0 MSQ, not post-content. Endwalker had a more endearing story and a nice end to the journey overall, but I hated the slog going through it and the zones, the dungeons and standard trials. I know that means little though.
And yeah Island Sanctuary sucks, but Crescent ended up being a downer too thus far.
I wonder if the new Deep Dungeon stuff will see popularity. I actually never got a chance to join my groups for most of them.

nobody is resubbing to this dead dogshit game, everyone is playing wow and osrs

>cosmic exploration
Is a funny one to me because it looks like they put just as much in one patch of Cosmic Exploration as they did in all of Ishgard Restoration in an entire expansion.

>>717274343
yeah, in a thread like this. not in game

>>717274518
>wow
go back frogtroon

>>717274525
Alright enjoy the MSQ

island sanctuary was so lame it's some of the least interacted with stuff to do in the whole game, which is impressive when eureka orthos exists
pandaemonium was great but savage was too goddamned hard and is perhaps most emblematic of the rote raid design they'd been sticking to, a lot of pandaemonium savage i think ended up being the wake-up call for the arcadion changes
i love V/C dungeons, they just don't have staying power, since they're, well, dungeons
eureka orthos is a weird hard left to solo focused a DD when that's not DD's forte and its own exclusionary nature (have to talk to a guy to teleport to then do it) means it'll always be out of the way and nobody will do it. on top of the shitty rewards, cosmetic or otherwise

Nigga. Weve seen his writing. It's mostly definitely his fault as well.

Why does 4chan latch onto this game so much?

>>717272837
They think she's gonna travel with us because they want a strawman to beat up for the game's entire remaining lifetime, she's said multiple times even as far back as 7.0 she's staying put

>>717274504
the progressive issue is only present in the EN version
JP doesn't have that, thus I can only hope Sena to be replaced in the future

>Weve seen his writing.
* black mage quests so unnoteworthy even hiroi's rabid hate cultists don't care to bring them up
* bard quests, of which only the stormblood one gets brought up as "covering up war crimes" in the same line that says it would be really retarded to bring up those war crimes right now in the middle of the ala mhigan revolution and they'll do it later
* assistant to matsuno for ivalice and bozja, matsuno's writing strength is not in characters which is where both suffer, has to ignore hiroi was an assistant and not a main writer
* pandaemonium, which was really good, one of the game's best cliffhanger moments after second tier and a good payoff
* post-6.0 patch story, which was only bad in light of being stretched out over five patches and should have been constrained to 6.1 through 6.3, but the trial series got bundled into it too so it couldn't be shorter
* a bunch of sidequests that, similarly, the rabid hate cultists can't or won't point to because they're not notable
* dawntrail

What’s funny about Ishgard Restoration is they repurposed Diadem for the gathering. Only changing it’s default weather for each season. And no missions or whatever, just raw gathering.
Then the crafter section was just the upcoming Housing area being slowly revealed, so it was pretty stagnant. Again, no missions, just raw crafting from the gathering. It’s only uniqueness was the ranking leaderboards, but it was so infested by cheaters (myself included) it’s why they’re not doing that kind of achievement again.
Cosmic fundamentally being levequests was a much smarter decision, it takes just as long to “complete” but I actually didn’t mind it.
Looking forward to making the new BIS to go back and wrap up the missions. Saved myself millions so far.

>>717274851
Ahahaha RAPED

>>717273714
Just be WAR and you can live with like 8 or more shitter stacks before your ridiculous levels of self healing can't keep up any more

bro?? didn't you watch the trailer? it was terrible

>>717275107
>but the trial series got bundled into it too so it couldn't be shorter
What’s funny is people were arguing here that because MSQ hosts the trials it means the current Calyx story won’t wrap up at 7.3. They really couldn’t think outside the box. Just because trials is tied to MSQ doesn’t mean it has to be thematically all the same.

>Shale = Calyx
at least it's not as stupid as hat = zeromus

>>717273119
Forums and Reddit don't endlessly circlejerk over Wuk Lamat the way /v/ tries to cement. Part of this I'm aware was Reddit intentionally stymieing it because people were turning into biological wifi repeaters for I HATE WUK LAMAT and couldn't or wouldn't say anything else to the point of annoyance and bans being handed out like candy. Dumpy keeps showing us JP blog sites and random 5channel posts but he never shows us more than two or three at a time and never shows responses, so probably they're getting called annoying in hiragana and he doesn't want us to see that.

>>717274830
A tranny VA is the least of Wuks issues, the expansion de-emphasizes all the existing characters to avoid what progressives call a white saviour narrative.

>>717275370
I mean. Why is their Battle NPC entities right next to each other? Why do they have similar ways of speaking? >>717265721
Ignore this logical conclusion btw. >>717273960

>>717275429
or both

>>717275361
>game itself is shaking its own format around for the sake of variety and easing both player and developer boredom
>incessant bitching that the game doesn't change on /v/ has not changed
like poetry, it rhymes

>>717275159
so glad they added mounts and GP regen. those were the only things irking me

>>717275502
1000 bugmen is equivalent to like 1 human player so that's basically a dead game

>>717275538
>Why is their Battle NPC entities right next to each other?
Because they were added in the same patch as battle entities, Shale is in the most recent MSQ dungeon fighting in the background
>Why do they have similar ways of speaking?
This is literally not true where the hell are you getting this from

>>717275558
>LOOK LOOK THIS SAVAGE RAID HAS AN ADDS PHASE
How does this affect me, a casual MSQ Andy, personally?

>>717275361
Yeah, they could make the 7.4 trial some fucking monster in a jungle somewhere on Etheirys for all it matters. They're not locked into Calyx.

>>717275509
nothing in the story even remotely implies a white savior narrative or one having been part of the story to me

this one is /v/ projecting and seeing pilpul where there isn't any

>>717275107
>>717275361
Amount of money XIV makes they really should have been able to have both the MSQ patch trials and a side trial series

>>717267297
Tits too small

XIV girls for this?

>>717275702
Game dev isn't a matter of money goes in, game comes out. Western industry and a goodly chunk of the eastern industry is shattering because executives thought that's how it worked and they keep trying to force it to work like that

>>717274523
>>717275159
both are dogshit.
for a game that prides itself on copying wow as a casual-friendly mmo to save itself from EoS they sure love their endless grind kMMO tier brainrot grinds

you'd have to try harder. at worst, the DT storyline is shonen shit slop.

the second half of the dumbass hrothgar jungle story was literally a white saviour narravite
LITERALLY backing up an insurrection to turn back on all their culture in exchange for magic seeds from a first world country

>>717275985
connecting with the rest of the world isn't a white savior narrative you brain rotted retard

>>717275926
i'm sure you have a source for that, right?
i'd like to see how much XIV makes

>>717275926
nobody cares about gachashit, only subhumans play that predatory garbage, dumbass profitbrain
go shit up a genshin impact thread or someone who actually cares

>>717276307
man you really are a dumbass. just say you skipped the cutscenes in the latter half of yak t'el, it's completely understandable after the first half's rancid shit storyline that was "we fixed a generations long war by having lunch together"
