They cannot keep doing MMO stories forever. If the Expansion is called Endwalker than that should be the end and the next expansion should be standalone.

Troons make the game uncomfortable and unsafe for new players.

>>717773996
The voice actor had little to do with it.

The 10 year story arc was over, the game is very dated because they refuse to invest in updating the engine. This latest expansion had to be a 10/10 and come with lots of big updates, to make people re-invest in the next 10 years. Not only was the expansion shit, but everything they have done and are still doing it lazy and cheap.

They need to remove Yoshi P and put someone else in charge, but they won't and so it's just going to keep getting worse. He does not really care about 14 anymore, he wants to work on other games like 16.

There are none.
Troons can't socialise in reality because that would mean people seeing their decaying ghoulish necromorph bodies, so they infect and infest EVERY SINGLE online space, ESPECIALLY MMO's because their death cult echo chambers have convinced them that MMO's are accepting of their disgusting behaviour and sick thoughts.

TFA was bad and derivative but it was popular with normalfags who appreciated it being just like the Old Thing, TLJ pissed off casual fans and didn't enamor the more critical fans who liked TFA. There were contrarians who liked it, and then RoS drove away even those people. It was a masterclass in destroying your brand, not even a saboteur trying to do it on purpose would have had that degree of success. Two TFA sequels that just copied Empire and RotJ would have been uninteresting and might have hurt long-term interest in the way that the Simpsons stopped being interesting decades ago, but Simpsons makes money hand-over-fist in merch and mobile games. Disney had toys of their sequel girl bosses in the clearance bin because nobody wanted them

Also are there any classes in FFXI to avoid—I wouldn't be looking at guides or metagaming at least until I finish the main story, I just don't want to accidentally pick a useless class that other people wouldn't want in their party

Imagine being dead and still living rent free inside Squenix's head.

>>717776687
That's the thing, even atlus is struggling with the remakes, most jrpgs barely break 3 millions so they need to stay low budget

Most online spaces where you can interact with people are repulsive because of trannies.
They are grooming children in splatoon, wplace is plastered with their shit right now.
The only thing that probably works is to reduce moderation by a significant degree so that the chuddies can balance them out by shitting on them.

If you've never played any other MMOs and know console FFs well, then yes it's good to start with it. Most people go try XI after going to later MMOs and are confused because it plays like a console FF instead and they can't adjust to the controls.
>Also are there any classes in FFXI to avoid
You probably don't want to try white mage out of the gate. Red mage is a very good and super versatile job but getting the spells and equipment to make use of that versatility can be expensive for a newcomer. If you want to be infinitely useful and always in demand, go with Bard. Thief, Dragoon, and Dark Knight are pretty undesirable in leveling groups but all shine in endgame content for various reasons. Ranger and Ninja are both extremely expensive to play because of the ammunition they have to buy, so you may want to shy away from them.

I truly think there is something demented in the FF14 true fanatic that they don't see time as we do, they don't see the passage of time set in years but in how many expanses since and because Asmon was still playing early Endwalker period to that Driftwood prat that's only one expansion ago so in his head it's recent and that's the reason he thinks mentioning Asmongold is relevant.

>>717776493
Splatoon 1 didn't have this problem
Miiverse was too good for this world

Not exactly true, they CAN have us explore other shards and the like, now that we have the funny key and all that
Dawntrail wouldnt even have been that bad if the retarded cat was just straight up removed, nothing wrong with the areas, just any cutscene or action involving the retard cat is stupid

Dawntrail has no plot worth keeping yet its FF14 so the players have to be chained to the MSQ so roaming around the new continent isnt a real option.
If you remove Wuk Lamat you are still left with a setting that has no real conflict and paper thin culture.

Did you play XVI? Because they didn't. They acted like they were going to, spent 40 hours of cutscenes on it, and then it went nowhere and amounted to nothing. Every country in the setting collapses by the midway point.

This is just wrong. The first 4 cultures you have to interact with are all terminally retarded with no problems worth solving. The entire premise if your involvement in this rite of succession was a bad idea. And then solution 9 took ff9s retarded world and made it make less sense.

>>717779208
>People still play FF11
Yeah but the amount is tiny and way smaller than it couldve been.
There's an opportunity cost to letting your game rot.
To use a FF11 specific example there must be thousands, potentially millions of people who got filtered by the playonline launcher which is as evil now as it was 30 years ago. Shit like that kneecaps a game before people even get to try it properly.
There are many other small things they couldve done to improve retention over the years, like basic UI stuff. Or making controller binding more functional.

They should do something because right now they are being retarded.
FF basically hinges on nostalgia for better times and pretty much every game that references FF games includes references to FF11. The mobile games, their current mmo, theatrhythm, and even stranger of paradise.
Surely there must be plenty of people who would like to find out who Shantotto truly is.

>>717781471
There's much better games that also don't get this sheer amount of daily tushy torture! It's just this one, for some reason.

I have run maps with my FC nearly every Saturday night for the last two years. I have gathered or bought my three to four maps every time. I thought everyone else was also, but I recently had the suspicion that not everyone was pulling their weight. You see, the FC map nights are “Everyone rolls need”.
Don’t get me wrong, that isn’t a problem a few months into the expansion when you are burning a 20-40K resource, as you can on most nights make that back. Maps were selling for 350K last night, and I even reminded everyone on Discord to bring new maps.
Out of 6 people, we did 11 maps. The new minion dropped, and of course, a person who didn’t bring maps won it. Once I realized we were done at only 11 maps, I asked the FC leader if we could set a rule for next week that you had to bring three maps or you didn’t roll.
Two of the others who didn’t bring maps were already flaunting the torch and are part of another, more hardcore FC. They can afford 350K gill for a map, I, who has never seen past 24mil and who is currently sitting at 7mil, cannot. If I can show up with three maps, then so can they.
Am I the asshole for wanting everyone participating in maps to bring maps, or forfeit the right to roll?

>>717781494
I'm sure it does.
By the way, WoW had at its peak 12m+ subscribers on a single client.
How many does it have now?

I don't know or care who this retard is, you're the one spamming about him because you lost some argument and now... I don't know, you think just spamming him here is going to get the XIV community to brigade him for you or something? Legitimately, what is the matter with you?

>>717781624
dunno.. I'm sure it's much less deservedly after introducing an amputee niggerress and female rock dwarves with gem beards

not saying they haven't lost the ball too just saying they have at least innovated the game enough to keep people interested

I'm a 1.0 player that hasn't bought DT and probably won't come back to XIV unless they make drastic changes to the core game itself, it's just boring doing the same shit for 10 years in a row... especially when characters are dull ugly and unappealing like wuk lumao

>>717781973
You do m+ and raids in WoW's endgame.
Raids are 20 years old in that game, and m+ is nearly 10 years old now.
Innovation?

>Do people actually watch that Athena channel or is it all bots?
It's owned by the Zodiark Trancer cord and, much like they're previous channel, they artificially inflate the views with their members spam watching each video on repeat, commenting with dozens of sock accounts, and liking the videos with socks as well. I saw one video by the Athena channel posted a minute after upload, and it ALREADY had a few comments going "I totally agree with everything in this video" despite the video being 10 minutes long and there was no way these commenter even had time to watch it before commenting.

>>717782285
Hey, I'd stick to just one thread, but the seethe leads to multiple concurrent threads against it trying to take it down. I'm sorry.

>>717781973
You know awful lot for someone who doesn't play or have any interest

>>717781715
Channel's not even botted, it basically doesn't exist. Its rhetoric is pretty damn similar to the daily "fire kate fire hiroi" crashouts and seems to be confused about whether it's bitching about XVI or XIV sometimes. Also shills WoW because of course it does. It's just trancers again.

>>717782307
The videos are also spammed full of every possible tag that will put it in the suggested videos of anyone who ever watched a 14 video.

The tranny was a sacrificial lamb. The english localizers knew immediately that the expansion was a stinker, so they snagged a troon to prop up as the target for the internet retards ire.

I gave in to the TWW hype last year and played retail for the first time in like 10 years or something.. sure felt a lot different vs playing the Classic WoW re-release in 2019... almost different games some would say... But if you could somehow go back and play ARR and then play DT you'd have a hard time finding any unbiased person that would claim they are different games

>>717783123
I haven't regretted moving off to Bluesky from Twitter, most everybody I follow moved over too. Galvanized a little bit by that Superbowl info about like 75% of the site being just bots now. If consoles start using a Bluesky API for screenshot and video sharing it's just over for Twitter.

Every XIV subreddit is more open to criticism than it is to praise now.
If you want to point out something that sets ffxivdiscussion apart from other subs, it's that one of the head mods literally admitted to posting intentionally misleading articles in it and the main XIV sub because it will stimulate traffic to ffxivdiscussion.

Literally needed 5-8 hit piece videos on a longer release frame and it would have hit all the virtue signal/bad actor buttons to maximize the seethe needed to get through this dogshit expansion but they went full mask off instead of playing into a character

Pretty much all pedo hunting on youtube, where you said you watched it, is staged in some form.
A large chunk of it is just closed rooms with 'actors'. The ones that are actually outside are the more unfortunate ones though. There was a case not too long ago where a mob of 30 students assaulted a pedophile, only for the hat to drop and it turn out to be a big old internet clout moment where the guy thought he was meeting a chick on tinder who said she was 18, and the five people who orchestrated it got arrested.

Ironic how they kept throwing so much money at Final Fantasy, yet it's the smaller non-FF games on Switch and PC like Octopath and DQ3HD2D that are actually making Square Enix profit these past few years.

>>717784615
MMOs are very resilient because they are so player interaction driven and have a lot of grindy stuff to do which means they retain more players, and FFXIV always has something new on a regular schedule which keeps people coming back

is that why they lost haf their profit and are about to drop to 400k players after having to C&D an addon creator because they leaked actual player #s?

i'm pretty sure the next dps is going to be gunslinger with two pistols since that's an emergency job, the problem will be if they will do it with a boring lore and gameplay like VPR

>>717785151
It only takes a look at his accounts and then discerning all of the spam here. I can't remember the thread where someone pinpointed him being a SEAmonkey. On that note, the artbook larping is likely Elven, because when this happens there's a sudden passing knowledge of XI, which Elven played current retail up to WotG.

SE needs to solve the tranny problem before making a new MMO. The virus will just spread to the new game.

the game is shit with or without trannies. they need to completely overhaul the jobs and stop insulting the intelligence of their player base.

>>717785543
playerscope data was pretty in line with luckybancho reports on the whole, thoughever
it was also C&D'd nearly two months ago-- there IS no publicly available and current playerscope data anymore
everything past june 21st for playerscope data, more acutely past 7.3's release date that made it even more useless even if you still had the source, is wishful thinking and headcanon on the parts of people who used to look at it

>>717785713
Nah, they're usually separate updates for some reason. I don't really get why.

>>717785174
i knew things were gonna be bad in the future when they had to delay endwalker by 2 weeks to get all of emet's voice actors in to have him list off the next 10 or so expansions out of fear people would think the game is going EoS

So bullshit then. The creator can make up a wide variety of reasons as to why he wanted to cease developing the addon and pinning the blame on SE is an incredibly easy scapegoat. How come the faggots that made Champion and blatantly open on Github and puni.sh botting software didn't get C&D but some retarded program that performs the equivalent of writing people's names down with a notepad did?

XIV is a terrible streaming game. Always has been. None of the oldhead XIV streamers are worth a damn as a content creator. I am shocked that any of them break 100 or even 200 real viewers.

I absolutely am going to ignore that because Yoshida did fuck all about any other addon or mod or mod platform. The functionality of Player Scope can be replicated with Mare Synchronos scraping, where the same key often is used across multiple characters, showing you the identity of the person, even if he's online on some other character. It wouldn't be the first time when a prominent mod maker decided to stop bothering with a project and then blamed it on "being hacked" or "getting shut down by the company". I can recall at least two private servers that lied about receiving C&D letters and I can recall the Gposer discord being "banned by Discord mods", when Johto decided that he no longer wanted to bother keeping the server up, so he deleted the server and then made up that lie after being asked about it. Funnily enough, a real Discord mod was hanging out in that server and very quickly provided receipts, that Johto was full of shit.

Fuck off. It has nothing to do with Nintendo. A lot of FF fans, especially those that loved the PS final fanties, hate what square has done to the franchise. Most people have seen FF as a dying brand for a while and only the die hard ff fags will eat their slop any more.

>>717786262
Yes but LuckyBancho predates the playerscope/retarded SE Blacklist changes so the person behind it was making educated guesses based on publicly available data. His numbers are a bit inflated but more often than not theyre the best thing youre going to get assuming the leak about the server randomising Account UIDs with each new login is true. Pic related is the last time I can remember seeing an updated number. Character Count and Unique Characters are just how many accounts have been pinged thru the use of the add-on, the Active count is the one that shows actual subbed playercount.

They had a meeting with the E33 devs a while ago, so I'm sure they'll try to pull off a desperation turn based rpg for the first time in ages and use gay marketing like "JUST LIKE THE CLASSICS, DO YOU LIKE THE CLASSICS?!" even though people have been telling them for 20+ years to stop trying to turn FF games into action games but they go NUH UH WE ARE OLD JAPANESE MEN SO WE KNOW BETTER THAN YOU, THE FANS, SHUT UP NUH UH YOU ALL WANT ACTION AND WE USE FAX MACHINES HERE UNIRONICALLY BTW. And I hope it fails them too. Cocksuckers like SE deserve to explode.

We do a little xivving.

Thankfully trannies continue to commit suicide, like the one who jumped off a bridge, shot a school getting vaporized and the one who jumped in front of a train. Probably had poo blood.

>>717785985
>luckybancho isn't a source
yes because he ignores a huge part of the playerbase and his methods are unreliable because he can only use lodestone data which now is very easy to make private
>playerscope isn't a source
Yes because it was made by some schizo and it was used by other schizos
>steamcharts aren't a source
>the investor report isn't a source
didn't mention either of these schizo, but steamcharts has never been a meteric of total players it just shows peak CO-CURRENT players on Steam only and those peaks will go up and down based on patches, it doesnt mean theres less players just that more play day 1 of a patch at the same time and then it evens out, expansions are a good example where many take days off to play the first few days then they keep playing but at their regular hours

She's really nobody important. She's a minor recurring character in Windurst quest chains and the end of her own quest chain gives Warp II, which is a very valuable spell, so a lot of people dealt with her.

No it cant you retard. Mare can only ping others using Mare. The reason Playerscope scared so many people was because it was pulling data straight from the XIV servers which opened up anyone to its grasp regardless of them playing on vanilla clients or not. You do understand Square's infinite retardation in the Blacklist update for the game is why Playerscope was able to do what it did right? Yoshida's devs decided to add unique identifiers unique to every player account which was constantly being broadcasted to your client as long as you and said players were online. Playerscope was able to grab these fucking IDs and able to continually scan noting which unique players were getting on/off and make a solid dataset for averages across the board. The only fucking thing it couldnt do was tell you if someone was on a Free Trial or Subbed.

>Mare Synchronos scraping,
Mare Synchronos is an opt-in service to begin with, Playerscope is broader in scope and uses and not opt-in for anybody being scraped with it

Puni.sh plugins don't scrape the backend for stuff, most of them are QoL confirmation automation and similar crap, no Splatoon doesn't scrape the backend nor can it actually play the game for you

MMO Minion isn't actually terribly useful in XIV, you won't outplay a vaguely coordinated PvP team even with it making you a suspiciously good player, botting your retainers and gatherers/crafters is pretty low on the "who gives a shit" meter

Trannies are like fungal spores, if you let even one spore settle in and germinate it spreads immediately to everything within the vicinity and cannot be stopped unless you quarantine and eradicate the whole lot.
Square Enix made the mistake of hiring trannies for their English branch (in non-development roles that shouldn't have mattered like community manager), and those trannies screamed loudly enough to actually affect the in-game content by nepo-hiring another tranny to voice a major plot character in the expansion. Now you look at global and proxy chats for FF14 and all you see is an endless wave of troons clogging up the chatlogs to talk about their axe wounds and how they plan to rape the local school children in their neighborhood.
Same thing is happening at Capcom, they hired trannies for their English branch (in non-development roles that shouldn't have mattered like community manager), and despite being employed for such a short amount of time they already did enough damage by constantly shoving trannies everywhere they can, even games that aren't being made by Capcom.

I like to believe Barry isn't with us anymore, and got off the internet and 4chan a long time ago to recenter his life and his chakra on things that aren't asinine internet slapfights.
Instead, anons carry the idea with him schizophrenically, and he has evolved beyond his personal sphere of influence; he's become a meme.

And? Most people that would care about their in game privacy use it, because only those kinds of people would give a fuck about someone looking them up online. Face it, Yoshida, instead of C&Ding a plugin dev housed in some bumfuck nowhere third world shithole, would instead change the game so that the plugin cannot affect it, like how the raid markers were made unable to be repositioned in combat. He has a history of doing that. Not of slapping nobodies with C&D's.

>>717787838
it's exhausting

People can blame Kate for a lot of bullshit but Koji also should be blamed, probably moreso. He's still her boss after all which means he lets her do all this shit like hiring American VAs and the tranny and inserting her weird gender shit into everything.

He let her ruin Mamool Ja by making sure you knew their original way of speaking was merely pretend.

For me, it sucks that they could've gone either route and they went for the one where they shelve her.
They could've gone several different ways, but they not only went for keeping her in Alexandria, but hard-locking her to it to the point that they can't even change their mind without major backpedaling. It irks me, and I would've liked to have seen more of her.
It doesn't drag down 7.3 as a patch for me, but I definitely would've chosen another route with her if it was up to me.

jfc man you're running on nothing but assumptions and got caught making an argument that automatically brings into question your knowledge on the operation of the addons in question. Not only that youre so adamant in defending SE youre just assuming the Playerscope fags lied about getting a Cease and Desist because "Nuh uh Yoshi wouldnt do that" without anything to back it up but a feeling.

What's bad about C&Ding stalker addon creators now anyway?
Or is it just "anything is a nail" syndrome?

>>717788246
Nothing but it is worth pointing out that the one time Square has gone out of their way to do it was due to an add-on that leaked player numbers.

>>717788139
There's a decade of history of SE operating a game and not once going with a C&D even after individuals that brought open reputational damage to the game like those faggots that created a billboard advertising their shitty venue irl. The sorts of people that develop mods also have a history of lying and nuking their work for any fucking reason whenever their hormones hit their brain.

A prudish person would argue that the launcher is an entry barrier but I think they could unironically OSRS it and rejuvenate the population a ton to experience a game they otherwise never would have

>>717788386
Again I have no qualms with SE stepping out of their way to C&D the addon. Its within their right to do so but its pretty funny considering they have never done it even when Yoshida saw raiding streams using them without trying to hide them only to turn around and do it once it was revealed that the addon could just pull player numbers. SE has never had and never will feel the need to make active player numbers known after the effect it had for WoW.
>>717788457
>he did anyways
Exactly. The addon has so many issues as is but it wouldnt be the first of "stalkerish" addons. It's just the most far reaching one that also managed to leak numbers SE didnt want made public. It was the perfect shitstorm to come out for an expansion doing badly.

>>717788105
yeah it really is the safest choice they could've made but it also means she is effectively done as a character. But I can also understand why they didnt make her a scion, we already have so many of them that do nothing along with the b-team which are out there that could potentially do something so I imagine they just didn't want to add another character that won't have much to do, since what could they really do with Sphene other than having her as the character they explain how the world works to which we are that person.

I don't know if I can understand it, but I also can't resent them for it. It wasn't like it was handled shittily, it just was a choice I don't like.
Thancred and Urianger (much as I love him) aren't doing much. Estinien is gone more often than not. Sphene being joined at the hip could've worked, but they just decided against it. Maybe it was them trying to purge everything DT related other than the key and Calyx, or maybe it was decided on long, long before, just as Zero was written out, and pretty much almost every character was written out. I weep for the wasted potential, but I don't rage over not getting my way, only when not getting my way coincides with the writing also being objectively awful.
Personally, I'd probably have gone the route of having her be an Alexandrian citizen again, but also traveling the world to learn more about it and maybe discover ways in which she can help Alexandria.

I have a feeling if the expansion was doing well player sentiment would have been high enough where most people would have excused certain shortcomings. The reason a lot of these issues with content, addons, slow updates and the like have become mroe common is because players are not happy with the game. The addon doing what it did just gave people more reason to bash on the game. Pretty much happy people are less likely to complain, angry people are more likely to complain aka common human behaviour.

We have little evidence of that taking place. What we have evidence of, is seeing the id's of prominent Balmung Quicksands residents leaked here all over online, including here. It's far more likely that some loony troons that the dev upset by exposing how many alts some of them have, certain players having up to seven characters, caused a huge amount of drama, especially when their various activities were exposed and the plugin dev was facing being doxxed. I find this to be far more likely than the C&D letter that he never showed to anyone.

>DT's writing and one character in particular are so bad that Square-Enix is hemorrhaging subscriptions
>North American GMs haven't changed a whit in years, still suspending and banning accounts for the slightest infraction, as if the aforementioned hemorrhaging wasn't an issue
>GMs have been so bad that many players (even as far back as 2021) have basically taken a vow of silence and have sworn off ever using the chat box out of fear of getting suspended or worse. Everyone either uses Discord and Linkshells exclusively now thanks to the dystopian nightmare known as the ToS and it's rigid enforcement
>Year of our Lord 2025, and Viera and Hrothgar can only wear a fraction of the headgear all the other races can. But don't worry, we have chat bubbles now. That's definitely more important.
>Endgame revolves so singularly around savage raids that if your home DC isn't Aether, you are fucked. Same goes for whatever respective raiding DC is in Europe or Japan. This has created a very imbalanced population across DCs for every region across the globe.
Square-Enix only has themselves to blame. This is entirely on them, on Yoshi P, on Hiroi, and on Kate.

>>717778405
It hasn't
ShB and EW proved that. People were excited for DT it just so happens a lot of those people were casual players that like FF and whatever new story it brings. DT just sucks ass story wise.

>>717789027
millions must HAVE FUN

>>717788950
That's true, but fundamentally a plugin that is designed to stalk people isn't really something you want.
People don't want you to talk about plugins at all in the game, people taking action based on info provided by plugins explicitly made for stirring trouble are kind of the thing they want to avoid.

>concept art looks great
>in game looks like shit
man why

>>717789072
>Year of our Lord 2025, and Viera and Hrothgar can only wear a fraction of the headgear all the other races can.
They literally added hats in 7.3, the same patch as chat bubbles.

>>717789072
>But don't worry, we have chat bubbles now. That's definitely more important.
Not just chat bubbles but the reason is because a bong streamer made a meme out of it and Yoshida thought it was amusing. That's why we have chat bubbles not out of any sense of actually improving QoL.

>>717789274
by "a fraction" he of course means like 7/8ths

>>717789331
Hardly anyone asked about it before EW, lol.

>>717773173 (OP)
FFXIV is 12 years old, they have already overstayed their welcome, not even games like WoW are relevant anymore. OSRS is probably the only one that will survive because the game is just grind, no story, nothing else, just gameplay, and it is something you can pick up at any moment.

FFXIV has a story that will eventually end, and it already has, they are just in the OVA phase now which is not that interesting unless you really liked it. They should focus on the next FF MMO with better graphics and new mechanics.

>>717789274
Okay, now try wearing ninja or tank headgear

>>717789195
Would say about 50/50, the dragon folks looked so good drawn but looks like SHIT in game

When is 7.35 anyways? I only want to do the deep dungeon

>>717789397
Damn, you're retarded

>>717789331
Pretty sure people before peach asked for chat bubbles
>>717789530
Late September or early October

>>717789461
>hats

>>717789053
Yeah DT is just badly written. Anything after Wuk's ascension is filled with assine contrivances. For me Wuk isn't even in the factor of hating the plot but just how fucking dumb everything after truly is.

>>717775829
>They need to remove Yoshi P
Yoshi-P is not actively working on the game anymore, he has been assigned to FF16 and the next new Final Fantasy title. He still oversees the FFXIV project, but let’s be honest, whenever the original creators step back into an approving role only it usually ends in failure because their name is just kept to make fans feel reassured.

This happens in movies, books, and almost any franchise that lasts long enough to get a new head. The same thing is happening to XIV, the main writer is gone, the director, music and localization leads have also moved on, and the entire main team that made the game what it is are now working on other projects. Yoshi-P’s name is just there to keep selling it.

>>717789681
>Anything after
No, that's the case even before. Both parts of the MSQ are utter shit

>>717789627
No one cares about hats, bitch nigger

Hiroi slop.

>>717773238
Imagine fuming this much over an e-celeb’s opinion.

>>717789742
If any of this is remotely true, FFXIV is fucked. And it's never getting better.

>>717789825
No one cares about the fact that you want to be mad.

>>717789906
No one cares about your nonexistent standards, clown.

Is the fanfest locations announced yet?
I've been training for 2 years now with one goal in mind, to fuck an Alisaie cosplayer.
I've legitimately never been as fit in my life, my arms, shoulders, chest, core, legs all looks great, apparently I look 'handsome' by random women on the street but I have no interest I didn't put this training in to fuck randoms, I need my Alisaie.

Calyx is boring. Kuja trial or not.

>>717789969
Tell me about all the MMOs where all races can wear all gear.

>>717790000
based quads confirm Alisae is best girl

>>717790000
Nice ambition.
But it will only work if you look like Juan Fantasia.

>>717790000
alisaie is a pig.

>>717790141
Then I'll make her squeal.

>>717789790
They are but the first half is simple. We are just helping a dumb bitch take the throne and give her rapport if issues arise. I am not against it and I actually enjoyed it for the most part. What I didn't enjoy is the lack of continuation after EW. You really meant to tell me an entire species that struggles to reproduce (1 in 100 surive) due to whatever genetic issues are going didn't just go extinct during the final days? No one mentions it or worries something akin might happen. Anyways I am just ranting but I would take going through the first over dealing with the dumb contrivances of the second half.

>>717790000
It's indefinitely cancelled.

>>717790048
>whataboutism

>>717790218
>You will never LB3 her womb
It's the perfect reason to cancel your sub. What a mid game.

>>717784121
they actually can get banned for spamming but they obviously have ways to circumvent this and the GMs in XIV are notoriously bad about punishing anything that isn't:
>inappropriate character name
>saying a slur once
granted the second one is definitely on you, but the first one is cringe and I hate that people actually report you just because you have some dumb name like "Doctor The'rapist"

>>717787385
you for being a hateful bigot and reporting these wholesome, gender-affirming pieces of lgbtpqiayzcvro+++++ culture.

>>717785959
Erenville is because he actually does go through character development and the best arc of DT is the one we spend with him alone without Wuk Lmao
Krile has always been a favorite, she got fucked over in this expac but that won't stop people from loving her
Bakool is simply that people love the "asshole guy apologizes and joins the crew" archetype

>less revenue means losing money
i'm tired of you faggots

>>717790350
What a copout response.

>>717790000
Witnessed

>>717790643
whataboutism is a copout defense for developer laziness, faggot

>>717790350
So all MMO players have low standards. Got it.

Erenville arcs were shit and his mom was written stupidly too.

>>717790460
GM facts:
>they play favorites with players
>they are not impartial with their suspensions/bans
>they can and will ignore egregious shit while suspending you for the slightest offenses
>undercover GMs are a thing, they will insult you to your face, thereby flouting the very ToS they are supposed to uphold, and then suspend your ass the very next day simply because they do not like you

>>717790926
proof?

>>717790862
>strawman
>putting words into the arguer's mouth
Yeah, we're done here. You've obviously been drinking way too much of that corporate kool-aid. You sound like a Burger King from Novice Network.

>Yeah, we're done here.

>>717790998
>reddit incarnate
lol

>>717790994
The last example I used happened to me in Limsa. The second to last example happened to me in NN with a mentor who kept kicking me from the network for arbitrary reasons. Pic very related. Dude was never banned. I was though.

Barry won

>>717791221
what did he win?

Uhmm chuddy did you do a heckin logical fallacy? I'm deducting 5 updoots from you. We're done here.
Here's a bors comic to show you that you are silly.

>>717791123
>>717791146
>still no rebuttal
>still sucking corporate cock
>SLUUUUURRP

I accept your concession. Clown.

>>717791295
you're a crying faggot redditor
there's my rebuttal for you

>>717791159

>>717791295
Have you come up with a bunch of MMOs where every race can wear all gear yet?

>>717773238
>troglodyte
Anyone that says this is a top tier faggot

>>717773173 (OP)
Well duh, everyone moved over to bigger and better things (Switch 2).

>>717791387
only plebbitors suck this much corporate cock

>>717791560
Have you come up a reason as to why viera shouldn't be able to wear headgear like every other race apart from you sucking Nip Dick and/or developer laziness?

>>717791717
So you haven't and can't.
I'm afraid I must accept your concession then.

>>717791717
1. It doesn't make sense for Viera ears to clip through every type of helmet. There are some helmets that it would look absolutely retarded.
2. It doesn't make sense for Viera ears to be concealed beneath a helmet, either.

>>717791934
>Tell me you haven't interacted with a real life bunny rabbit before without telling me you haven't interacted with a real life bunny rabbit.
Apart from which
>muh realism
argument goes out the window owing to the mere fact that Aura exist and can wear all helmets and headgear (including full-face ones). Don't even get me started on the Miqote.

>>717791934

>>717791932
>>717791560
World of Warcraft.
Now what?

Bro all these companies grew and grew and grew and they need far too much money to operate at their size.

Capcom, namco, sega, konami, square enix ect etc. it's only going to end badly.

>>717792257
That game has a race that can't wear gear at all.
