You thought you could put me aside when the MSQ ends with 7.3? Hahaha im gonna stay in FFXIV forever as the Main Character

Are they intentionally trying to kill the game?
Wuk doesn't join the scions
There is a voiced post credits scene where the WoL recieves a letter setting up .4 and .5 and the game makes your WoL willingly decide to allow Wuk to accompany them, there is no option to even allow you add your own opinion to this event

She expresses joy at how events unfolded for the queens past and present, and thanks you for helping her fulfill her promise.>Erenville, meanwhile, speaks of an impending extended journey, and Koana declares his intent to compile a thorough account of Tuliyollan history even as he attends to his day-to-day administrative duties.

>>717332120Remember when they advertised this as an expansion feature in Endsharter?
Its insane how behind they are.
FF3 on the NES had escort npcs.
Route Changes
No difference through the first boss, just the usual two circle rooms and then the small tunnel with the useless side branch. No walls introduced in that tunnel.
The two circular rooms after the first boss weren't changed in layout, but now each has 3 packs each, one on each "side" and then one at the other end. You have to kill two packs for the sand to spawn to take you to the next area. So you can still skip a pack and they weren't converted into hallways.
No change for the route between the second and third boss. The side paths still exist and you can do it all in one pull if you want.
Myrmidon Princess
Boss slightly changed. Now spawns waves of adds near to her on a timer while doing a periodic targeted circle AoE or frontal conal AoE. She either summons four soldiers, one larger guard, or a marshal that will give her a temporary Vuln Down.
Giant Tunnel Worm
I couldn't determine any meaningful changes to this boss. Still does the cycle where he blasts a random player with a single target DoT, does an untelegraphed frontal cleave, then when he goes under he alternates between either doing a line of burst that ends in him emerging or a suck into the middle that ends in an explosion.
Chimera
I feel the cast bar for Ram's Voice in particular was made like 1 second longer, I ran this dungeon last night just to have a final sense of things and it came out fast, and feels slower now. Both Voices are still untelegraphed.
The boss now centers himself before Cacophony (the chaser circle AoE) is cast, and the player that it targets has a marker over their head before it starts to chase them.
The boss no longer casts circle AoEs that leave residual ice puddles, instead he casts Lightning Storm circle AoEs that do mostly the same thing but don't leave puddles (Trust AI has historically not been able to handle "random" void zones so getting rid of them is common).

Keep in mind this is already after following up the EW patch cycle which was absolutely boring, monotonous garbage from the same writer, so while DT pre-orders were record for the game, player interest was already hurting.

>start playing ffxiv
>reach stormblood
As someone who started playing FF14 by the time endbringer was released, I don't give a fuck about what others think about stormblood. All I know was that the MSQ was absolute fucking horseshit.
Here's the main point:
You are running around wiping ass on both Heavensward and Stormblood, but the two differences is that on HW you're doing so to repay house fortemps for being nice to you and letting you stay after you get framed and chased out of potatoland. It also helps that the initial quests establishes your allies as likable chivalrous characters. The shit you're wiping isn't something caused by their generation.
Storblood however you have to help the ala mhiggers and the japanese but they're busy being fucking entitled giving your retarded menial tasks despite them being the ones asking for help. The characters on your side are also insufferable cunt, old guy who's given up, blindly loyal ninja and best of all the young lord who the blindly loyal ninja has sworn to. Did I mention that said young lord hasn't done anything worthwhile at all and only has the the title of lord due to birthright and and he fucking ran away to mongolia like a coward? Also the shit your wiping is in most of the cases caused by the people you're helping giving you the double whammy of not only having to placate and do menial work to help a bunch of insufferable entitled retards, you also babysit and wipe their asses by solving problems they themselves caused.
Oh and of course noone dies noone is punished or reprimanded for their actions.
Dawntrain is just an even worse version of stormblood
ERP is now a mandatory MSQ objective
>>717333601>Dawntrain is just an even worse version of stormbloodPretty much, Lyse is told to fuck off when she says dumb shit but Wuk is praised for it.
>>717333601all true but the yotsuyu plot is still very well done

I have literally not played the game since 7.1 and I was addicted ever since release. What am I missing that these sims secondlife trannies enjoy that I don't?

Why does he want our IDs bros?
>>717333601yeah it's stormblood for babies with the equivalent of the steppe being a 2 hour long cowboy episode of SpongeBob instead of 1/4th the expac and introducing characters people will actually like for the next decade even if the rest of the story is just mediocre
>>717333725they leech off society. they paypiggy for their subs and cash shop with government gibs, simple as

>>717334286pretending like extremes are something that is made specifically for raiders and not your average player is genuinely fucking retarded, raiders will just pentameld crafted gear this content is LITERALLY not relevant to them at all nor do they pretend like it is.
>>717334264What's the reward?
>>717331731They can't be serious with this shit
>>717334327Hiroi is incapable of subtlety
>>717334327There's only been two original final bosses. Tsukiyomi and Endsinger. The former is just Japloreslop.
>>7173343231: macros are already forced in chat
2: automarker can do the same
>>717334327>Didn't hide Zeromus in LL but hide Necron even though they were both obviousWhy? Do they just think they can't top Elidibus WOL and not put in any effort to try?
>>717334327Because it's the IX arc. It's literally the first thought EVERYONE had, especially once Simulant Sphene and an infinity mark became a prominent factor in a plot about some stupid little shit wanting to make his people immortal to ward off death.
It's so absolutely predictable that it shits itself all over the floor with how blatant the outcome could've been.
>>717334323>Itโs to stop retards from forcing macroswell maybe they should finish their fucking raid plan gui instead of being fucking retards if they don't want people using macros. cause the alternative now is pulling up a site on your second monitor away from the game like the retards in NA that swear by doing that do.
>>717332805Actually I have, because I was foolish enough to believe retards like you. Chinks still don't know how to write for shit, it's fucking trash.
>>717333095Nice try dipshit but I haven't touched this garbage fire since 7.0
I came here to laugh at you. XIV, WoW, GW2, OSRS, PSO2, you all are fucking gay with pozzed negholes. Bye
>>717334420nidhogg too I guess, dont remember him being prominent in older FFs other than maybe being some big dragon monster
>>717329941>fujo game>been forced to interact with the writer's shitty waifu characters Did the definition of fujo change again?
>>717334546mabinogigawd.... i kneel....
About 2 hours to get to the dungeon btw. I like to let dialog play out (JP) and click on each char to see all dialog too before doing next objective.
>>717332805Wuthering Waves' writing is tainted with the dogshit "I'm actually a million year old super immortal responsible for everything ever I just plum forgot woopsie" protagonist
>>717334553Honestly it's a better track record than you think. Ultima Weapon was never a final boss but is a memberberry, then the early Ascian stuff was mostly entirely original after that, but sandwiched against Knights of the Round. I'd argue you get large spans of original ideas, and then some fucking memberberry slams down and goes "OH DID YOU THINK THIS WASN'T FINAL FANTASY ENOUGH?"
>>717334610no matter how bad xiv gets it can never be korean or chinese bad
>>717334562Wuk isn't a 'waifu' character. She's a self-insert. Meanwhile all the attractive females are constantly written out of the story while the fuqbois like G'raha and Erenville keep sticking around.
>>717334610yeah not to mention that he's constantly surrounded by coomerbait waifus with either exposed feet or armpits
It's not a "fujo" game, Yoshida is just an unironic flaming homo
once i hit lvl 93 today, i'll continue from the lvl 93 MSQ point
hope it's fun
>>717334702>It's not a "fujo" gameare we just gonna memory hole ishikawa now to shitpost on 4chan
>>717334482>Because it's the IX arcMaybe they should stop writing stuff that's just a series of shallow references to other games.
Who the fuck is pink haired girl 1 and pink haired girl 2? And why do they have more voiced lines than Krile?
>>717334651>She's a self-insert.Who the fuck is self inserting as Wuk? Hiroi?
>Meanwhile all the attractive females are constantly written out of the storyMaybe someone should tell the male writers to stop killing off every female character then
Did Koji Fox leave? The writing takes a SHARP downturn in DT. Feels like it's all written for middle-aged women now. Nothing awful ever happens and there's no emotional weight to anything, no clever references to literature. It's just slop
>>717329941There is no content for the fujos in this expansion, even they were completely pushed off the board by Hiroi's writing. He just gave them a lizard who refuses to pay child support, a bigger lizard who is traumatized for life by his dad's obsession with perfection, and a boring bunny boy with a shitty accent. They literally have no one to thirst over, just like men have no cute girls (except for Sphene, but I fear she is gonna get axed, judging from early players' reactions to this patch).
>>717334702Not to excuse Yoship but isn't the only reason Y'shtola hasn't been Lyse'd by the writers because he forbids it?
>>717334774What the fuck Baldy Fucks have to do with anything
Neat.
I know she doesn't join officially in the end, but s'all good
>>717334774the writing is a sharp townturn cause square in their inifnite wisdom gave the reigns to a failed play writer
>>717334774Koji has nothing to do with the original Japanese script. Hiroi is a shit writer.
>>717334745Better tighten your seatbelt bucko, they're probably gonna turn around and suck off FF7 or some other game now to try to make people come back.
Got bored during 7.0 and never finished the MSQ. is the post launch msq any better?
>>717334038yup, there is a fascinating overlap between how both those two groups acts. Same elements of language, same gaslighting tactics... It was fucking bizarre interacting with the xiv community for the first time because it felt like I time traveled back in later 2000s when vista bombed hard and there was a big push to get people to switch to linux. Went about as well as you'd expect from people who view softwares as an identity rather than a tool.
hello! meoni here, are you enjoying 7.3?
>>717334768>tell the male writers to stop killing off every female character then>Moenbryda>Tesleen (if you even count her since she shows up for a few minutes also killed off by a female writer)>Venat (killed off by a female writer)All balanced out by male deaths, what's your point?

>>717334759Cost. Krile has an actual VA unlike the Dawnshitter NPC voiced by subhuman californians
Honestly why does it feel so childish with all these talk of death...like I cant even immerse myself with how ineptly its presented in this patch
Like in fucking endwalker the indians cant even panic after seeing their family turning into monstrosities in front of their eyes to prevent themselves from turning into one
In Dawntrail its like a fucking disney movie but with more le "mature" concepts
>>717334669Nigga I'm already enjoying wuwa on PS5, you didn't need to convince me.
>>717334915>MoenbrydaWhat female writer killed her off?
>>717334924this guy is definitely getting sent to the japanese useless busywork mines after dawntrail
>tfw 8.0 is actually great but you have to go through 7.1, .2, .x to get there.
>>717334774Koji certianly took some liberties with the script when localising but not enough to dictate the flow of the story that's all down to the actual writers and not one of the localisers/lyricist
>>717334078>LittleKuribohhas this pathetic snoy transitioned yet?
>>717334935ARR-HW is the only time death feels severe and real.
>>717334935it feels like a story about death written by someone that has never even had a pet die, or god forbid a family member
just endless recycling of shounen anime tropes he has passively absorbed
>>717334832Will have to run this as a paladin so I can go in with my three girlfriends, Alisaie, Sphene, and Blue Alisaie.
>>717334850>Koji has nothing to do with the original Japanese scriptI know, but his localizations are fucking clever as shit. Guess maybe he just had nothing to work with this time around, if he's still there. Not sure how it went so wrong, I thought that Natsuko was a good writer before..
>>717334976Use your eyes I only said Tesleen and Venat were killed off by a female writer
>>717334832what the fuck is a zoemancer
>>717334924Someone had to have ghost written Pandaemonium. Cause that actually had a decent villain character.
>>717334825NTA, but I think he meant the writing style is different, which is true. From ARR to EW, you could see there was a certain refinement to the dialogues and the choices of words. It felt like a fantasy setting, although it wasn't so overly exaggerated to sound fake. Even the FATE descriptions were more interesting.
The writing in DT feels modern in comparison. No peculiar wording used whatsoever, very clean, direct speeches that sound like something a Californian person would say, no literary references, nothing. The few lines Urianger speaks are in normal English, probably because the localizers weren't able to properly convey his previous manner of speech. The FATE descriptions are flat and boring; a line was forgotten in Japanese in the previous patch because the localization team forgot to translate it; and there are several punctuation and lore mistakes (missing commas and periods, Gulool Ja being referred as Gulool Ja Ja's son and not nephew etc.)

NOTHING IN THE END QUEST SAYS THIS
LITERALLY LITERALLY THIS WHOLE CALYX THING CONTINUES WITH
>sheeeeet the wol was stronger than i thought i gots to think about it again
>Yo, "Winterers", i think we got a problem, you have to back me up
>>717335181but without him, we get the shit that is DT? So maybe he's a net benefit?
>>717335163I love this haggy cat, shame she is stuck in this awful game
>>717335042>>717334935It's especially bad considering this follows up Endwalker, which even with a momentary factor in the endgame dungeon, still at least showed why immortality and enlightenment can horrifically backfire, and pulled no real punches on that part. Like it was rushed and sloppy, but it carried the message from Shadowbringers.
Then DT rolls in and like, people die, but it's all theatrics without substance. Citizenry die but people clench their hands and go "this makes me feel bad." The dad dies and the sorrow is momentary before an hour later we're singing kumbayah with building a bomb train and playing Air Force One in a cutscene. Don't even get me started on Living Memory, or the fact that the Scions are totally chill about letting Alexandria keep using Regulators like they haven't personally traveled down into the lifestream and fought the embodiment of deathly despair or anything.
Koji wasn't just a localizer he was actively involved in the lore and writing on the Japanese side as well. He wasn't just some guy who was responsible for just translating it to english.
>>717329827Uh, anon...SMNs got buffed too.
do jp players just not hate wuk lamat as much as na people do, i dont get why she hasn't been written out yet

>>717335280Yoshi saw a trans person cross the road or something sometime so this is the hill he must sudoku on.
>>717335146There is a word for that kind of promotion, I forgot what it is though. Basically when an employee performs super well and is actually responsible for most of a product/idea's success, they are promoted to a superior position, with the hope they will repeat the miracle at higher levels. However, the promotion is often "too exaggerated", meaning they can't perform as well as before due to bigger responsibilities, less time, bigger risks. And so the whole castle of cards falls down. That's probably what happened to Ishikawa and Koji: these overseer positions may pay better and have better benefits than their previous roles, but they are basically stuck and can't directly work on the game as much (and well) as before.
This whole expansions feels like Skypeia from One Piece, or the 4th Ninja War from Naruto.
>>717335281>a generic cartoony evil villainAthena being a bitch doesn't mean she was a cartoony evil villain.
>>717335252This makes ZERO sense. They know better than anyone that literally trapping souls in batteries and using them as currency is a bad thing overall, but it still kind of just goes on. Nothing even happened that was negative in any way to the people of S9, and no lessons were learned. It'd be like leaving the voidsent alone because "hey' it's just zeromus' culture"
>>717335301>>717335208>this plot arc will end in 7.3>loljustkidding he fucks off to plot with nebulously more evil individuals to continue his bullshit another time like a Team Rocket villain

>>717335362skypeia is kino thoughbeit
can I impregnate alisaie yet
>>717335284Yes. The game was basically relaunched with Yoshi P, Koji and Soken at its core. Those are the guys and /v/ doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about.
>>717334927Just go through it? Are you stupid?
>>717334935its very apparent when an idiot is talking/writing about death because it tends to have short-term effects or is being presented from a perspective of self-serving interests rather than having the understanding that death is a permanent loss.
>>717335301>Those imbeciles and their damnable heroics!Damn meddling kids!
>>717335301getting useless "Telophoroi" vibes from this
>>717335280>, i dont get why she hasn't been written out yet7.1 to 7.3 were already cooked by the time the expansion came out. There's evidence there were rewrites to town down her presence but there won't be any real changes until 7.4.
>>717335381To be fair all she did previously was talk about her grandfather so it's not very out of character she's always been shit
Cahciua is pronounced Kafkeewa? Was her name said in a voiced cutscene before, I don't remember this.
stfu about the fucking cat and tell me what's all in the sandy raid
>>717335459It's also obvious in this one so far, 3 MSQ in and she barely spoke.

Why would you play this game except during the month before new expansion for x.1-x.55 and during expansion launch?
>>717335438>quit MSQ because it was bad>wait to hear some stranger on the internet that it gets better after hours of tormentyeah I forgot ff14 players went through ARR...
>>717335480I refuse to learn how to pronounce anything in DT. If Mexicans are going to flood my country irl and refuse to learn the language I sure as shit aren't going to learn anything in not-mexico on ffxiv.
>>717335369she absolutely was cartoony evil, she has zero depth whatsoever
>>717335526i like doing savage
>>717335526Because some people don't like waiting 2 years to play the game again.
>>717335381Krile is suffering from the same malady as someone who finds out they are 4% Cherokee Indian and decides to make that their whole personality.
It all makes sense when you realise that XIV is now written BY middled-aged women and FOR middle-aged women.
Middle-aged women don't want to think about death, so the only deaths we get are peaceful and sad tearjerking old women talking about how they loved being mothers, then dying gently. They don't have a sense of honour, so none of that exists. They don't like conflict or horror, or terror.
Their ideal quests are the "society" quests for the Pelupelu. They're literally a race that exists to make people happy, and engage in FAIR TRADES that are good for EVERYONE. And all their quests are boring shit.
get ready for more of that. Because you're playing a middle-aged women's game now.
I don't give a fuck about endless souls and shitty cats. Just tell me why Azem had a pimp cup that allows people to travel to different reflections.
>>717335573>It all makes sense when you realise that XIV is now written BY middled-aged womenit was written by a middle aged woman before, and the game was better for it. and now it's written by a failed stage play writer guy.
>>717335526>Why would you stay in a toxic relationship instead of just one-night stand / nut and go whenever you're a horny?is that parallel understandable?
So did they actually spoil the trial being Necron like retards or is he just a dungeon boss like Anima
>>717335301We want the 2.X Elidibus audience
>>717335545Define depth. Because she was a character that had motives, flaws, and a personality. She was a manipulator that put science first and believed that she alone could fix what was wrong with the Ancients. Like a less pussy version of Hermes.
>>717335621>it was written by a middle aged woman beforebut not FOR them. Now they realise that their fanbase has aged up, and catering to women who play while the kids are at school is easy. They'll eat up anything, the blander the better.
>>717335671>or is he just a dungeon boss like Animadon't remind me
They seriously didn't kill off the fucking cat?
>>717335545Don't even bother they only like Athena because they project their Hydaelyn is the devil shit onto her

>>717335843Did you retards really think she was gonna join?
>>717335824>picda fuck is this, looks like something from mario sunshine
>>717335756>In what way is DT written for middle aged women I gave you some examples, dude.
The lack of depth
The lack of masculinity
The lack of meaningful death or tragedy
The whole races who exist to be NICE
The blandest female character front and center for them to project onto
The short-sighted storylines
etc etc.
You need look no further than the endless talk of food, and the use of such to calm any tension whatsoever.
Trapping souls of the dead and using them to force uprooted slave citizens into work for a literal AI-run foreign city? LET'S ALL SIT DOWN FOR SOME DELICIOUS XIBRUK PIBBIL WITH EXTRA GUACAMOLE HAHA IT'S SO TANGY"
The whole DT storyline was written with one goal in mind. To make middle-aged women go "aww that's nice"
>>717335843So they really baited with "maybe becoming queen again wouldn't really satisfy me for a people that left me far behind, even if it's technically my duty" and then immediately turned around the very next patch to go "eh never mind, i may as well do it"?
>>717335891>nods"time to leave the past behind us!"
>wuk says as she board the boat with you
>>717335894They made it clear that they werent her people anymore, she was clueless, gearing up to fight herself and the people needed to learn how to live without the queen
Everything was pointing to her leaving with us
>>717335805Ask them, not me. You might just get fifty more images of e-whores in front of graphs instead though
>>717335918oh, almost forgot "bad guy for no reason has a son out of nowhere, now let's focus on the stupid little shit so that the fanbase's mothering instincts kick off"
>>717335772It's the truth, even Erenville gets Lyse'd at the end.
lets try using a primal to kill the primal slayer. again
>>717335918>middle aged women only want to enjoy nice things where everyone is niceMeanwhile in the real world these middle aged bitches are fingering themselves to 50 Shades of Grey and imagining themselves being finger banged by Loki.
>>717335894there was some hope that they would break the obvious place in the plot telegraphed for her character, yes
wuk was never ever going to join
so they could have had someone shake up the scions somewhat
>erenvilleeugh
>>717336008By those examples, Elden Ring is also a middle aged woman game.
Short recap tldr version of patch story? Is it worth doing?
the mogstation cat looks uncanny as hell and i hate it
>>717336048The super genius Calyx scares Alexandria into summoning a boogeyman as a primal to try and kill the primal slayer.

...yeah.
>>717336048you beat up Necron and every dawntrail character stays in their own country so we can pretend the expansion never happened
next expansion is ff7 themed
any footage of the 4 man ultimate yet?
the briliant new content that everyone will enjoy
there's so much ways to present death in a palatable level
>I cant meet my friend tomorrow because he's gone now
>no one is home after work because they're all dead
>now Im in an orphanage because no one is left to take care of me
but Hiroi had to do it in the most superficial way of
>ohhh the city is full of deadly robots....I dun wanna die. I wanna become an endless
>I will die someday...might as well die now lol
>hmph, those that didnt get special regulators are inferior people...I will evolve muahahaha
Honestly the most compelling writing Hiroi did was when a kid trapped in the dome for 30 years met his father again in Tural and he was the same age as his dad now and they're trying to be a family again in 7.1
And that interaction was literally like only 6 unvoiced lines between two people
>>717335114And considering the MSQ ending he's going to be very likely the villain of 8.0.
>>717335970>ErenvilleThank fucking god. I hope I never have to hear that fucking VA gargle marbles in his stupid Icelandic mouth while he delivers lines again.
>>717336142best thing about it for me. He cute.
>>717336101Just finished it.
It's basically going through the war of civilians being killed by the various stages. Running NPCs are targeted by AOEs and killed while you have Calyx narrate things. So that's Amarout V4 basically, eh?.
>>717336117Deep dungeon is not out for a few months dude.
if you havent taken the jp voices pill yet you deserve everything you have to listen too.
>>717331731looks like a bad esports team uniform
>>717336198I'm so fucking tired of them just redoing Amourot again and again and again...

>do alliance first
>sareel ja is mwahahah im a mamool ja jerk seeking power etc etc
why couldnt we have this shit in the msq instead of the hiroi slop? its actually better and honest and refreshing.
>>717335894>in the previous patch she realizes she is a relic of a past long gone and her people can still thrive without her>outright claims she feels alone because there is literally nothing left for her in this unfamiliar world she just woke up into>relearns how to fight, so she has a DPS role>is based on a character who voluntarily joins a band of thieves to escape her kingdom and changes her name during her journey>is cute and liked by the players, comes from a different Shard, is royalty, and never saw the world before due to a childhood spent in illnessShe would have been a great addition to the team, but I guess they are too lazy and scared to try something new
>>717336270It pinged my autism because the actual word within the setting is "shite".
>LOWER THE STAKES NO MORE PLANET THROWING UNIVERSE EATERS
>LOL A FUCKING PRIMAL LMAOOO
This is all shit but like what do you want.
>end basically where you began, but with Koana now appreciating buffalo, more backstory for Gulool Ja, and Sphene replacing Sphene properly

They.. they filler arc'd, the filler arc? You can't be fucking serious.

Form your own fucking opinions, you actual fucking lobotomites.
>>717336124>>I will die someday...might as well die now lolCredit where credit is due, Ishikawa did it first.
I miss him, at least Fandaniel had energy. This Calyx faggot is boring.
>>717336124The smart way to present the idea would be from the perspective of a widened people that are knowingly messing with natural order.
For an NPC to simply state:
>Death, is not worth anything, despite what all the heroics lead us to believe. In life we are told to not tolerate setbacks, and when we were given a chance to pushback on the largest setback of all, we took it. If you write an honest story from the perspective of the natural cycle, death and rebirth, you can do Solution 9s story well.
The problem though is the tone of the setting. You canโt take people at the trance raid in the purple beatbox apartment seriously.
>>717335824THE LAND THE LAND THE LAND
Remember when DT was announced and even the writers didnt know what was happening?
>>717336302It's more like that they are scared to bring back anything Dawntrail related from now on. That's the real bottom line, they didn't expect Sphene gaining this much popularity.
>>717336231They're NEVER going to let go of Amaurot or Azem memberberries. They think they got 3mil subs from doing that and not because of covid making everyone try out their game.
>Play through all of DT
>didn't see a single blue mage
the fuck?
>>717336379CRUSH YOU
CALL YOU
OUR DUTY
>>717336323>anyway i'm gonna buy overpriced glamour from the shop>that if you buy to much of wont fit in our shitty limited glamour system
>>717336432All the BLU lore is in the FSH quest line. No I'm not joking.
>>717336296Between the cup, WoL being able to somehow travel into the past and tell Venat about the sundering, and all the other shit that points back to Azem, pretty sure he was just fucking things up so he could have a never ending adventure at everyone's expense.
>>717336447wow has such a PERFECT system
why arent they just copying it WHY
>>717336365That's literally not what Hermes was about THOUGH.
>>717336447cash shop items go in the armoire, not the glamour dresser, anon... the armoire does have unlimited space.
>>717336468This. There's one guy who..eats fish to gain the power of..fish.
That's what you get.
>>717336447Yeah we should go back to 2.0 when the glamour system didn't exist at all
>>717336434>typoYeah just fucking kill me I guess
I'd much rather pay cash shop because that's money YoshiP never sees.
>do my normal routine of getting the shit crafter's need and selling it to make money day one
>already the hardest shit to get is selling for less than 6k a piece
fuck off
>>717336485It literally was altoughbeit
>>717336410Guarantee they bring back Erenville as much as possible, but I guess technically he isn't DT related.
>>717336365Except Hermes was the complete opposite. "We're immortal, why would anyone chose to die?"
>>717336428AMAUROT IS STILL GOOD IF IT WAS ACTUALLY FUCKING AMAUROT SHIT AND NO MEMBERBERRIES
BUT NOOOOOO OFC ANCIENT SHIT IS ALL DONE AND DUSTED SO HERE'S A REMINDER OF AMAUROT INSTEAD REPEATED ENDLESSLY (get it that was a pun)
I DO NOT CARE ABOUT SUNDERED LIVES AND PLOT I WANT TO LIVE WITH MOMMY HYDAELYN
I knew the story shat the bed as soon as that retard blue bird showed up.
>how are we gonna resolve this 10 year story between two gods?
>Iโve got it. So-
>>717336270>>717336310They said shit in 7.0, I remember it pissing me off then too. I havenโt even bothered with the patches
>>717336558Yeah, it's mindnumbingly easy to make the new craft/gather sets, and you'll have weeks to do it because they lied about the new cosmic exploration being out today
>>717336604Which is why he chose for his whole race to die off.
>>717336632Meteion was kino and built up since the bard quests thoughbeit.
Filtered.
>>717336323the community stockholm syndrome'd itself because of its own constant policing about how you had to do all of the latest content to be allowed to criticize it and so naturally anyone who unsubbed during EW because it was shit no longer count as critics
this has the funny effect of the number of critics going down as the game gets worse which makes the defenders even more fucking annoying
>>717336632the same retards who shit on dt called that a "master piece"', they deserved everything they got this expansion
>>717336615The fact that these two aren't the WoL's companion cocksleeves means I'll never resub
>>717335824>the final boss of the xpac is a piss yellow reskin of the swallow's compass mid-bossBRAVO
R
A
V
O
is wuk dead or permanently out of commission at least?
>>717336678Except the side story explains that the whiny faggot knew all along that his race would be fine because he recognized that WoL was from the future. And even in game he talks about how he believes in his race's ability to overcome and carry on. Which is why his stupid ass also allowed his memory to be erased.
>>717336704Nah Meteion was shit, but not so overwhelmingly shit as to totally overshadow everything else. And Zenos was there to help salvage things a bit.
>>717336296I think that was Azem's solution to the Final Days. The Rift existed before the Sundering iirc: maybe he wanted to move the inhabitants of Etherys there while the abominations lay waste to the star (the Ancients had no idea what the great cataclism really was). That, or he somehow predicted the Sundering and prepared a plan B for his future selves. Honestly he looks like Hari Seldon from Isamov's Foundations: able to predict the future by reading the right signs, always a step ahead and ready for any eventuality, his influence is felt everywhere, left something for trusted people to find even centuries from now.
>>717336704Get fucked is was fucking junk the point of the story was Lagos in the planet core doing the shard calamities not a bird singing a song at Talon IV.
>>717331760You fell for the Chinese trickery, grasshoppa.
>>717336678That was Venat howeverbeit.
Hermes was bitch made and made himself forget that he condemned his whole race to die so he could give his best in defending it from the calamity he caused.
Venat deliberately double tapped everyone.
>>717335362the fuck are you talking about retard skypeia is amazing.
>>717336748Zenos is dogshit in EW and completely tacked on because they had nothing to use him for after skipping over a Garlemald expac
>>717336745Meteion was just a vehicle for the best storyline the game offered so far. The whole last half of EW was utterly insanely good.
>>717336748>Lavosfags STILL seethingNobody under the age of 40 cares about Chrono Trigger you dumb fuck, they're not making him the big villain of an entire story.
>>717335381she was always boring as fuck.
>>717336734actually the final boss is FF9 Necron with a fucking shitty orchestral remix and doesn't have any animations from the original necron unlike how the various Eden fights had 1-to-1 attack animations from FF8 in HD
>>717336770No itโs not the only good part is when Luffo punches the bell at the end and the theme song plays. And the airhead jutsu.
>>717336748rare lavosfag, maybe we'll get a zodiarktrancer
>>717335843THE FUTURE IS FEMALE
>>717336826there was not enough money to give the devs ps1 to play ff9 anon
>>717336839>EW was ......le BADokay
>>717336806HEโS IN THE PLANET CORE
HE WAS THE PREVIOIS DALAMUD
TWO MOONS
EVANGELION
BAHAMUT WAS THE SECOND
Lavosโฆโฆ
*does the Lavos growl*
>>717336801Meteion did not participate in either Heavensward or Shadowbringers.
Endwalker was a terrible expansion that shat all over a decade worth of story up until that point. Though yeah, when compared to Dawntrail I guess it does look like a masterpiece.
>wow dawntrail was complete shit maybe it'll redeem itself in 7.2!
>wow this patch is shit maybe it'll redeem itself in 7.3!
>wow this patch is shit!
when are you fucks going to get the clue and drop the game already
>>717336891you gave endgame 10/10 and unironically deserve to have rights stripped from you to stop dragging society down.
yay here we go, boss time
If you do DPS, Y'shtola is healer for this
>>717334420You forgot the best one.
>>717336795Heโs great in the Garlemald part because his character is finally realised.
Then he goes back to โmuh friendโ and shows up at the end in a dragon cosplay
>>717336808People shit on Y'shtola for being boring but Krile is just Y'shtola but run through a filter so as not to trigger fujos.
>>717336918if they drop the game then they might miss out on when the game gets good
>>717336909>shat all over a decade worth of story up until that point.how
>>717336734She's out of commission alongside Erenville and Sphene. They are all going to stay there and pretend that DT barely happened. Calyx is going to be the big bad of 8.0 very likely.
>>717336931This is what the roles looked like.
>>717336931>Hide boss ass ???>Just fucking spoil him in the trailer anywaysGenuinely whats the fucking point
>>717330298>>717330767>>717330769>/v/ is getting filtered by toddler-tier puzzlesAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>717336939nta but they said final bosses
so who tf are the Winterers?
survivors from the old Ice Calamity shard that want revenge or something?
>>717336965If it has to be explained to you, you deserve dawntrail.
>>717337007he was the final boss of his trial
>>717336990bold of you to assume the secondaries that infest this game would be able to recognize necron
>>717337013Winterers is comingโฆ
>>717337013Who fucking cares
>cater to fujos, the game thrives
>don't cater to fujos, the game shit itself and dies
It's just that simple.
>>717336931>my favorite FF game reduced to a few shitty callbacks implemented in a terrible manner in a shitty expansion
>>717336949what the body snatching shit is completely pointless and was the biggest waste of time in the whole game
sphene is nothing but a sex doll
Haha! Time for an epic finale!
But before that!
>weird last minute character reflection
>dogshit puzzles
>hand clenching
>>717336967it's over for 8.0 then
>>717337042>Heavensward shits all over the story of ARR>and if that needs to be explained to you, you DESERVE StormbloodA tale as old as time
all WoW content creators quit for Runescape
if XIV had any, they'd have jumped ship too
>Calyx is an evil genius with the master plan
>The master plan was to summon a primal
>Against the guy who is notoriously extra effective against primals
This had less of a chance to succeed than the first nuke he tried. How retarded are the writers
>new deep dungeon coming soon!
>3 months
that isn't soon, that's a quarter of a year.
>>717337098Lmao IX is straight ass playing as DBZ midgets
FFVIII CHADS SAY IT LOUD
>>717337042so you got nothing. Neat.
>>717336953she serves no actual purpose in a party that is all scholar nerds already.
tataru is straight up better despite being a tertionary character.
>>717337095Dawnshart caters to no one but Yoshida's runtime inflation fetish
>>717337141XIV has no content creators, only high quality silicon 3 stage action glizzy guzzlers
>>717337070the game is better when it doesn't call for the nostalgia of older ff games though
reusing necron, beatrix or other ff characters will only guarantee that the story will be at best average
it's a big flaw, they rely too much of muh nostalgia instead of being more original
>big trial primal after they were reduced to dungeon bosses in EW
>>717337141RuneScape is not good.
>actually had a sliver of hope deep inside for 7.3 to be a sleeper kino
>its just barely tolerable based on this thread
sigh..time to gather my hopes for 8.0 now I guess...
>>717337161If they're going to keep pulling this 'let's summon a primal shit' then for the love of god please just summon the WoL as a goddamn primal.
>>717337237its called run escape for a reason
>>717337235>the game is better when it doesn't call for the nostalgia of older ff games thoughwhat the fuck are you talking about? this entire game is one nonstop nostalgia trip
>>717337234>character development?>In my mmo story?
>>717337120This but unironically. The story quality of FFXIV is a race to the bottom that only Shadowbringers stood out from because it just told its own story unrelated to the world XIV took place in.
>>717337237You'll need to be more specific because we're in a FFXIV thread where people apparently like not good things.
>>717337070Wow, Necron is a literally who.
Even for its game, he was pulled out of nowhere.
You're proud of recognizing someone so bad?
>>717337278What character development, learning to lie?
>>717337234>what being possessed by shiva does to a MFer
>>717337161he didn't know ok? this was all just about gathering data... for the actual real masterplan, bwuahaha. i am not owned btw, i am actually really calm rn
>>717337278>cartoony evil laugh as dragons slaughter innocents>i-it wasn't my fault!you deserve ew, dawntrail and everything that will come after
>>717337334She does genuinely change her ways though. We've had this conversation before, autismo.
>>717337107man, imagine how much money they'd make if they just created a life size Sphene sex doll..
>>717337297Itโs the exact same thing that happened to XIV. Wowfag streamers got upset and migrated to another game for 6 months.
>>717337329>You're proud what exactly do you expect to gain by putting words in the mouth of another anonymous user?
>>717337161I was 100% sure he would have used all the combat data related to the WoL he had collected to create a WoL-like enemy to basically kill fire with fire. Something like: "Fine, you can kill everything people throw at you, but how will you fare against yourself?"
But no, he went for the very same thing the WoL first became famous for.
>>717337383no she doesn't, she was retconned hard. I proved it with one pic.
>>717337414WoW to XIV was because they wanted a WoW clone
WoW to OSRS is because they realized WoW clones are shit
So XIV's narrative is officially worse than WoW's now right?
>>717337424Anon literally is using not recognizing necron as a way to filter retards, as if he is proud
>mouth of another anonymous yeah that's just you though, idiot
>>717337414this. it's just like with endwalker: wowfag streamers try to scare their dogshit abusive company into fixing their game but the company doesn't give a shit and will only double down on all the bad things. they'll come back to wow with a "blizzard is LISTENING" grift (despite nothing changing) once they notice their engagement numbers going down which means their livelihood is at risk
we shouldnt have had to fight calyx ffs
could we not have used violence for like the fucking millionth time
the scions and all of sharlayan should have debated him on the matter of life
the WoL could have killed like a super tuyal whatever on the side while waiting
>>717337390*slim shady enters the thread*
Ream sphene
Real sphene with the double team
Ream sphene with the team in my dream!
Doing her clean with the good scream!
Scream with sphene in the Ryne dream!
Iโm screaming with sphene in the Ryne dream while we double team in the lewd scene!!
>>717337440It wouldn't have even worked, WoL did it first and it didn't work. The more complicated your WoLkilling plan is, the more guaranteed it is to fail.
Everytime WoL was taken out, the plan to defeat WoL amounted to:
>lets just poison him lmao
>>717337459You're a fucking idiot, lel. Ysayle was a naive idiot believing in fairytales and that if they "killed the evil nobles and freed the oppressed masses" everyone would life happily ever after. Then she saw the reality of the situation, that all that she did was get people killed, that Nidhogg was in fact the one in the wrong and that even if she convinced some dragons and some people to lay down arms, so long as Nidhogg lived, it would never end. And then Hraesvelgr flat out told her that her whole life had been a live and that she is not Shiva but a dumbass that toys with power greater than herself and she spends most of the time after that doing her best to fix the mess she abetted.

hey its that one middie in these threads
I always told myself I would quit when they brought back Emet-Selch. That day seems to be fast approaching.
>>717337506>Anon literally is using not recognizing necron as a way to filter retards, as if he is proudwhat the fuck? what filtering? why are you so defensive about this? take your fucking meds. it is an objective fact most of this playerbase things all the bosses are original concepts and i'm not saying it as a judgement or anything but a pure and simple statement of fact. not my problem you took it personally, secondary.
>yeah that's just you though, idiotyes of course it's me, i am another anonymous, the first anonymous is yourself. do you have autism?

>>717336931Boss done, straight forward. Music suited the fight well, it doesn't do a SPEEEEEEN phase 2 whatever moment lol. Just bring HP to zero, simple stuff. "Add Phase" was super simple.
>>717337601didn't read I've already proven you wrong. you deserve dt
The ending "teasers" of 7.3 was sooo obviousas it teased ascians once more, and they seem to call themselves Winterers lmao. Couldn't stay one expansion away from ascians.
>>717337482no, i don't think you understand just how fucking bad wow's story is
>>717335208>>717335375I knew they weren't getting rid of her, she's now sticking around like a bad smell for good. Yoshida lies like Todd Howard.
7.3 a new start for the game he said, but yet the game is pretty much spinning it's wheels nothing meaningful changed.
The only popular character from DT, which was Sphene is cuckshedded, she was the only one people liked but they decided to do to her what they should have done to Wuk after the trial of Ascension back in 7.0.
>>717337580>tfw the deadliest and canonically the only enemy to have ever truly killed the Warrior of Light never directly fought him at allSubterfuge>brute strength.

>>717337557Should I drop the plot in 8.0 or not probably not
>>717337482no, dawntraiil is xiv's cataclysm. they have another decade of digging at the bottom of the barrel until they reach shadowlands levels of capeshit writing. nice try though blizztroon
WHERE THE FUCK IS MY PLANET MADE OF GLASS YOSHIDA
YOU SAID THERE WOULD BE A PLANET MADE OF GLASS
>>717336806it's not even Final Fantasy, I don't get why Chrono niggers are so obsessed with that shit
>>717337625>I always told myself I would quit when they brought back Emet-Selch.Funny, that's when I plan on renewing my sub
>>717337681Kill yourself.
>>717337748It's a stand-in for something better than an emo bird loli is all.
>>717337637XIV's tranny cat isn't even a tranny, only the VA is. her VA is fine in other languages (though the character itself is still dogshit writing incarnate)
even if that was the problem, WoW has several tranny VAs, but blizztroons aren't ready to accept this because it destroys their narrative.
>>7173377217.3 MSQ was the best MSQ we've had the entirety of Dawntrail though so I feel like we're at least right on track. It's better than Stormblood .3 patch and Endwalker's entire post-6.0 MSQ.
Fuck Emet-selch.
Bring Hythlodaeus back!
Anyone else here not bothering to play until dalamud's plugins are running again?
>>717337748When Lagos comes ur gonna know it
>>717337871Yeah, not going to until Mare is back, so I can dick down my friend again.
>>717337851He was a good friend.
>>717337806something something it doesn't count because the tranny voiced characters aren't front and center of the xpac, it's ok when blizzard does it, they aren't obsessed commies who whine all day on xitter about how they're such a big victim, etc

did they kill yuck lmao? not resubbing if they didn't
>>717337278>"character development" is when you completely lack any sort of accountability Pretty on the nose there.
>>717338000Is this a MGS2 reference
>>717336432Literally removed from DT. That other town built into the cliff on the southwest part of Shaaloani was where they were supposed to be but the consultants vetoed them entirely
>>717337871I always log in to sit and watch people's crafts fail because they don't have craftimizer to have an AI do it for them
>>717338019No they didn't kill her off, she joined the Scions though aren't you glad?
>>717337482It's the worst, probably.
>rubber bullets
>>717338071i'm glad i'm never wasting a cent on this game again yeah
>>717337482It doesn't condemn Ishgardians for "Ishgardian supremacy" within their own cities quite yet, so not. But the worldbuilding had taken a nosedive.
>>717336558Cliques already have working plogons/gather and craft botting on day 1
Plogons no worky + dalamud updates are a sham, the market barons just don't want competition
>>717338094Bruh stop being retarded. The ending states that Wuk Lamat will be staying in Tuliyollal and her time messing with Alexandrian politics is over, and essentially tells you goodbye and she hopes you come visit, while you go out to deal with more Alexandrian stuff.
>>717338156This. They just block api access behind keyword restrictions that they later lift.
>>717338090ok blizztroon. don't you have another commie propaganda quest where you give your race's ancestral homeland to the invading alien orcs because they were sad it reminds them of their actual homeland, faggot?
somehow all these puzzles feels like actual adventuring
wouldnt mind if future quests are like this too
>>717338190>Bruh stop being retarded.fuck does this mean? i'm not paying for a sub while that piece of shit character is under the spotlight, not my fault you faggots are larpers and liars
>>717338219I had to actually pull out a notepad for a MSQ "puzzle"
if it was announced at fanfest that hiroi was the writer for the next expac, will you finally unsub
>>717338156Yeah but they've started to each other now. The undercutting began in the first 10 mins. I still managed to get the first on the MB though and set the prices ludicriously high, so it's fun to see them all slowly bringing down the prize of tyhat mason's tincture shit from 200k by one each minute.
>>717338306yeah the stones puzzle wasnt bad.
Wished ShB and EW actually had adventuring like this too instead of just clicking on objectives
not having dalamud is WORSE than being raped
>>717338375It's nice to not be completely on auto-pilot while doing MSQ, that's for sure refreshing.
>>717337960The market barons already have plogon and bots, they get their edge and max profits+total market control while plebs are toiling in the dirt manually
>>717338217Rubber. Bullets.
>>717338004it takes time to fix because we have to go through our extensive quality assurance process, please understand
>>717338318Hopefully Hiroi is gonna get locked in a basement room and forced to do menial tasks until he goes insane. If they actually keep him as a writer, even a minor, side-quests one, then there is really no hope left for this team of idiots.

Quick summary before thread locks
Calyx used the fear and regulators to channel a summoning of Necron, an entity in response in fear of death that also gets stronger in it's own death. Sphene does a broadcasted speech to weaken the prayers while Wuk bruteforces through a barrier where Calyx's memory bank is stored, then you do the final blow while he was in the middle of transferring his memory elsewhere (probably succeeded, cause the characters are outright stating they want answers cause Ascians could be involved). Wuk is resting now, took a lot of damage.
