XIV can be cleanly divided into pre and post SHB. Two completely different experiences, games, communities. If you weren't here before 2019 I feel bad for you.

Hot take: I actually liked Dawntrail and yes, that includes Wuk Lamat. I never had any issue with it

>>717629280
Pretty much. I am but a mere stormbab (if you don't count me dropping the game in 2.1 out of boredom, or dropping the 1.0 beta because it was shit) but ShB was absolutely where both the big gameplay and story changes started. I still liked ShB's story a lot but it didn't feel like the XIV from before at all, it felt more like a standalone classic JRPG. The story from before felt more like Ivalice-like fantasy politicking while being overall more grounded, which I enjoyed more.

don't you get sick of this? i'd be bored already

>>717629854
There really is no depth you'll go to for attention eh? well, here's the pity reply.

>don't you get sick of this? i'd be bored already
I dunno, dunking on Dawntrail is far less boring than actually playing it.

>>717629854
Agreed, and I honestly think the people who continue to seethe about it every single day need to get help. They act like Wuk killed their dog or something. Just more pics for my cringe compilation though.

>i have fun posting the same shit over and over
you need help, actual hourly therapist help
the lalafags are you talking to yourself too

>>717630361
>Everyone one person
Nah that's the lalafags themselves, everyone knows they're not just the biggest whiteknights here but also infatuated with Roegadyn BBC arguably more than with FFXIV itself.

But anyway keep thinking everyone who thinks Yawnfail sucks is one singular person, I'm sure that cope will help you as you continue to play Kate's Fantasy XIV

We needed a pathetic incompetent villain that is full of himself. He is a Light Yagami-like character: a lot of posturing. It is very fun to have, and it is a breath of fresh air.

Pretty bold talk from someone who cried for 8 weeks straight over a tan bunny girl calling you "champion." You're not winning an argument, you're just liveblogging your mental breakdown over a patch note. Also, hilarious how every new poster is suddenly a "lalafag plant" in your schizo headcanon. Maybe touch some grass that isn’t part of Mare Lamentorum for once.

Alright listen up, you absolute brainlets, because I’m only going to explain this once and then the mods will probably “mysteriously” delete this post.

Dumpy isn’t just some random poster. Dumpy is a handler. The lalafells have been embedded in our threads for YEARS, subtly shifting the Overton window of discussion, and dumpy is their inside man. Every time we start making progress on uncovering their operations—BAM—dumpy swoops in with some “funny” meme or “innocent” question that totally changes the subject. Coincidence? Yeah, and I’m a 6'5" Elezen woman IRL.

Notice the timestamps. Dumpy always appears during “peak distraction hours” (1:00 PM and 4:00 AM est). That’s not random—that’s scheduled. And if you check his post history, every third post is a subtle pro-lalafell talking point. “Oh, lalafells are harmless,” “Oh, you’re just paranoid,” “Oh, here’s a cute lalafell screenshot.” WAKE UP. That’s psychological conditioning. They soften you up with wholesome content until you accept the lalafell infiltration as normal.

And don’t even get me started on the image filenames. You think “IMG_1337.png” is random? It’s HEX CODE for “Lala Net Active.” I ran it through three different ciphers and every single one pointed back to the same conclusion: dumpy is laundering lalafell propaganda through us.

You think I’m crazy? That’s exactly what they want you to think. Keep ignoring it, and by next patch, half the server will be under lalafell administration and dumpy will be sitting pretty with his little “mod-approved” flair while the rest of us are working in the Gridanian root farms.

Follow the patterns. Connect the dots. Dumpy is one of them.

chatgpt took the wheel

Some people are seeing the sentiment around Dawntrail slowly trend positively and they're desperately trying to control the narrative

>>717635843
Would you say thread impressions are turning positive?

>>717636051
it has been extremely funny watching average thread impressions climb in positivity as more people actually complete the MSQ

>>717636051
people here already know there's a dedicated schizo shitposting on xiv threads
/v/ doesn't matter, cause anything can be shilled or doomed

so when are the Dawntrail - A misunderstood masterpiece videos going to start popping up

There is no point to Ascians after Endwalker. At all.

>>717636087

>>717636246
in 6 or 7 more years. when they start pulling things from DT just like they did with ARR in ShB

After Winterfallers bombs because the job rework never happened
Meanwhile the Westwolves timeline is getting Dreamwalker kino in Meracydia...

>>717636246
Probably 8.1 or 8.2, videos made by most or all of the same people losing their fucking heads about Dawntrail for 16 straight months

This is assuming also they don't make those videos around 7.4 or 7.5 believing they're honeying up for 8.0 Media Tour and Fan Festival access

Not subbing until the next xpac at minimum, what was the story of 7.3?

>>717636560
it started slow but it became kino. a bit teary at the end

>>717636324
For a story perspective the game should have ended at 6.0 and a new MMO began. There is no where else to go, the Wol is too strong, even the Scions are too strong each one on their own is as strong as the Wol was in HW or Stormblood. Most major mysteries have been solved, most threats have been conquered, most story lines have been solved.
What else can they do that will be interesting, threatening, intriging but also remain mysterious?

Before people say Merycidia, I don't really care because I've defeated Nidhogg, Primal Bahamut, defeated Midgardsormr, had Middy travel with me for a while, the dragons are not a threat or a mystery anymore what more can be done there that needs covering?

>>717636392
Whats the real world equivalent of the crystal tower on earth so I can jump to the timeline were dawntrail was kino
