The same content that you had to wait 4 months to only add 2 hours of gameplay. YOU LIKE?

>>718951775
Not really, I'm quite bored in fact and don't really play the game much anymore if at all. I'm still waiting for news on the next fanfest and news on 7.31, it's supposed to come out no more than a week from 7.3 yet it's coming out in September, a month after the patch released.

They're slowing down content because FF17 will be an MMO. Frame this post.

Oh fuck Asmongold talking about Llamatodd and Kate, starts at 3 hours 12 minutes
https://www.twitch.tv/zackrawrr

>>718954752
I mean yeah, even disregarding culture war stuff, Dawntrail has had the worst localization by far in the history ffxiv. Multiple errors per patch.

>>718954752
he doesn't even know who Kate is

>>718954843
You're not wrong but Asmon supporting Llamatodd and calling for Kate to be fired in front of 44k viewers is amazing.

>>718954862
He does now.

>>718954881
well this pretty much ensures that she will never be fired, this is just the emil pagliaruro situation again

>>718954881

>>718949875 (OP)
This is great. Yoshida just gets us, you know? We don't want to play Final Fantasy XIV, especially now that mare is dead and we can't plap 'n goon with the 'cord. By giving us less content, he's allowing us more time to play other games. I mean have you thought about how many other games you can play for just $12 a month? I'm officially declaring that we like this.

I never played FFXIV but is the issue that its too easy or that its too hard? cause they dont make it very clear

llamatodd is getting a shitton of followers out of this kek

>>718955589

They'll keep producing shitty expansions with a skeleton crew, just to keep milking the few remaining trannies. Exactly what WoW has been doing.

>>718955589
Brappy isn't having a good day.

>>718955589
I watched this guy once; said Asmon was being carried through Coils and he freaked out saying that was hateful and insensitive and wrong.

How'd this faggot turn to the maga grift

>FF14 director Yoshida is ready to fix the MMO's difficulty problem, starting now
remember when he said that before dawntrail and instead you got even dumber and duller content?

>>718955564
According to him, it's that they think too much about sequestering patches based on difficulty. So one patch will be the patch with more hardcore content, and the other with more casual. That can lead to huge breaks between content for those groups, so he wants a more fluid difficulty scale in certain content so it can be tackled by everyone.

If you want to really get mad. play xi to get a taste of beastmaster so that way you'll finally realize how much of a downgrade it will truly be when they finally release it in xiv

>>718955769
Todd won

>>718955775
Nah he said he wanted to add friction to the game and made stuff like Chaotic and Forked Tower and then the community freaked out because they added too much friction.

>>718955826
>so he wants a more fluid difficulty scale in certain content so it can be tackled by everyone.
surprised that isnt the case already, isnt that how WoW does it?

>>718955826
its not just developers, the difficulty bug infects the playerbase too. i tried to have a conversation about content design with some players and they gave me the flouride stare when I suggested making casual content that was still fun. For FFXIV, hard = fun. But hard also excludes casual players, so we have to make easy content that is also designed to not be fun. Its like no one played CLL

>>718955564
casuals refuse to do any content that can't be 1 shot or failed

>>718955897
So-so.
It has m+ which is somewhat scaling content, and it has a few set raid difficulties.

>>718955549
Yes, at this point i'd welcome christian nationalism or whatever the fuck because at least they'd kick out all the browns and trannies

>>718956030
nah, christian nationalism is what gives us collective shout and whatnot. we just need politics that aren't completely retarded on all sides

I honestly think that FF17 is being developed full-time and aims to replace FF14 as a live-service title. We've already seen what's happened to FFXIV since EW released when most of CSIII was put to work on FF16, and you're telling me they just went back to FF14 afterwards when it's main saga was finished? No way, they have to be working on something else. And while it remains to be determined whether a traditional MMO would be a good decision or not in 2025, I think FF17 could easily be a different time of live service game given that a "massively multiplayer online game" is a bit more broad than it used to be these days. Either way, FF14 has had its day, it's main story is over, and while it's likely to be supported for some time to come just like FF11 was, I don't think it's unnatural to assume content updates will become much more sparse.

>>718956178
You retard, I can only surmise you have an axe wound.

>>718955657
>>718955761
Do leftoids know what the word grift actually means?

>>718955840
Pretty sure XIV BST is going to have the soul regulators involved instead of them being axe-wielding tamers

>>718956445
Pretty sure you're retarded.

>>718956245
Ishikawa is definitely working on FF17, the thing is I just can't see a gameplay model for a new live service that can retain players, especially in this day and age. Making multiplayer FF16 won't work, it has to be something with more depth. Maybe a fresh start with good coding could handle a more action based live service, given thats the direction CS3 seems obsessed with going, but idk.

Who the fuck is Lamatodd?

>>718956178
Collective shout is a bunch of 40 tear old roasties retard, the whole point of Christian nationalism is going back to first principles where women can't vote and serve their husband, at this point western women are so deranged that i don't even care anymore they brought it on themselves

>>718956560
The king of getting Kate fired

>>718956560
some nobody who was mentioned one or twice because an unhinged retard mocked him for having cancer or whatever it was i dont know
and now he's trying to make money being le based rightwinger and nobody really cares for it except i guess now asmongold put him in the spotlight so he's gonna gain followers for like a week until they realize he has nothing to offer and scamper off

>>718956561
would a christian nationalist nation allow for the production and selling of bible black?

>>718955946
I don't want to let the raid down. I don't know what's happened half the time. There's some enemies in the corner charging something and a big red circle in the middle and a slot machine is spinning which will drop the floor of odd colored squares, and I'm the idiot who keeps dying because I have to stay in the red until the enemies in the corner stop charging and remember to stand on the number red tile on odd attack pattern gamma.

>>718956445
Why? Axe wielding tamers were already a part of Bozja and nothing at all implies an Alexandria regulator would be a part of it

>>718956560
One of many "who cares" ecelebs that dumpy cares far too much about because he likes watching and babbling about parasocial soap shows.

>>718956836
modern xiv writers hate bozja and want nothing to do with it. the trainer isn't gonna be lyon, its gonna be erenville.

>>718956941
This is somebody's pet idea he won't let go of isn't it

>>718956529
A F2P Monster Hunter clone but with FF classes with the core gameplay being about taking down huge monsters with action combat in a group in large open areas/instances. Maybe even something like Granblue Relink, but with more to do outside of combat. It's hard to say, but FFXIV frustrating code is clearly holding them back from doing what they want which will undoubtedly be more action focused.

>>718956974
wasn't blue mage coded and upheld by just one guy

>>718955775
I do remember when he said that before Dawntrail, then we got a world-first race that streamers lost a lot of money on because it was over quite quickly, Chaotic raid was EX trial difficulty (but difficulty exponentially ramps up the more people are involved), and floor 2 of Arcadion brought back add phases that matter. Almost like he said it and then they later followed through on it.

>>718957020
Final Fantasy Explorers on the 3DS is what you're describing and it's kinda bad
>>718957040
Not that, the whole "it's gonna be Alexandrian monster souls which completely destroys the entire point and story of Arcadion" bit

>>718950695
Not him, but pcgamesn is literal leftist corpo garbage, so the less money they make the better.
And I honestly don't care about xiv either way, played it years ago and got bored out of it and never touched it again, at least other mmos have more respect for us non english, french or german speaking people.
And yes, I know english very well but I refuse to try and understand the nigga that speaks in redneck.

>>718957020
A more social granblue relink? maybe...I just don't see it having as big a playerbase as a live service would demand. even monster hunter is struggling a bit with the content pipeline, I know thats not a live service but maintaining these kinds of games is hard. If capcom is struggling, what hope does a limping SE have?

>>718957175
I don't think Beastmaster will be tied to any lore look at how they completely ignored Blue Mage in all of Dawntrail or how the only new lore in side content this expansion is war of the magi amusement park. the lore and worldbuilding is going to be put on stasis outside of the msq because the writers are clearly tired of dealing with side story plotlines

>>718957394
>I don't think Beastmaster will be tied to any lore look at how they completely ignored Blue Mage in all of Dawntrail
Not going to a Whalaqee area doesn't mean they were completely ignored, do your FSH role quests

>>718957458
wow...a blue mage shows up in a FSH role quest. truly groundbreaking.
but yes thats exactly what I mean, instead of following up on or developing ceruleum ideas as establish in blue mage quests, its just completely ignored and squished to a cameo in some random questline that won't ever get developed again. because, again, the writers are tired of juggling all these optional quest lines and would rather just put everything in the MSQ

>>718957613
BLU is itself side content, my man
It's not gonna show up in MSQ

>>718957692
yes, because the writers are tired of dealing with optional questlines, and as I said, will just put everything in the MSQ from now on. that's why all the void characters were put in gay baby jail and replaced with fresh MSQ characters everyone is guaranteed to have met

>>718957692
There's plenty of side content that has come up in the MSQ, the most obvious being Estinien, G'raha, and Amon. As a matter of fact you're forced to read Martyn's notes about the Whalaqee at the very end of EW while you're learning about Tural. Do you actually play the game?

>>718957808
void characters were probably put in gay baby gaol because there were two separate attempts at basically the same questline in unukalhai and cylva both being failed cecils so may as well rip the fucking bandaid off and go whole hog with the third one

>>718955775
>remember when he said that before dawntrail and
then he did.

>>718957992
>characters and content that had to be retroactively added to MSQ to justify their presence and stories within it

Get a better rebuttal

>>718958221
>characters and content that had to be retroactively added to MSQ to justify their presence and stories within it
Estinien was never retroactively added to the MSQ, and Crystal Tower wasn't added until 5.3.
>Estinien specifically doesn't mention dragoon questlines happening if you haven't done them already and it doesn't change anything in the larger plot if you did or didn't do them
Okay? And? He's still side content that was added to the MSQ.
>confuses a red herring on blue mages for actual MSQ integration
But you just tried to claim BLU will never show up in the MSQ. So you admit you're wrong and full of shit?
>Get a better rebuttal
Try Pagos before you talk about it.

>>718950778
Those 10 million sales? All me.

>>718949875 (OP)
>>Publicly announces they will have even LESS content for the same price
what the actual fuck

>>718958346
>Crystal Tower wasn't added until
You lose, there's nothing to argue here, they made CT into MSQ content because having G'raha without it was stupid
>Pagos
Hello dumpy spam the 5ch screencaps and Kate faces instead of playing coy

>>718957992
tbf to that guy "blue mage is mentioned in an MSQ note" is not the same as "job quest and alliance raid characters becoming central pillars of the plot"

>>718958390
I think the actual intention is if they go forward with a sliding scale of difficulty it'll basically mean there's no reason to have a Normal and Savage variation on some things.

They added Gaia to the MSQ sorta.

FF17 being an MMO that the entire company puts their entire weight and best talent behind is the thing that should happen the most, but it's also the least likely thing they'll do.

They don't have the resources to keep 14 on life support for as long as they've kept 11 on life support, and because of the effort involved, it won't have near the amount of return on investment 11 does. Another single player entry will flop again because they won't get the sales numbers they want (relative to what they need). Make a new MMO you stubborn nips.

>>718950067
the biggest barriers to the game were the fuck ass long story quest with no summary option that persisted for years and years too long and had a ton of pointless patch filler so even lorefags didn't really appreciate it, and the fact that the game basically begs you to pug everything via group finder, which is literally just brainless "don't stand in the circle if the healer is afk" most of the way through, without ever funneling you into a higher level of play

it was totally possible to think logging in to play the high level group finder dungeons was the intended endgame and quit, especially if you were coming from WoW

>>718955880
Chaotic was cancerous content to clear because putting fucking body checks in 24 man raiding means you're genuinely sick in the fucking head, and I cleared that shit 50 times.
The fact that they saw all the complaints about Chaotic, then did the EXACT SAME THING with Forked Tower, which has even more people required, is a joke.
>you can do chaotic with 12 :)
>24 man bodycheck
They're completely delusional.

>>718958538
she was essentially a cameo in one cutscene lol

>>718958538
Gaia should add her lips to the head of my penis, if you know what I'm saying.

>>718958425
>You lose, there's nothing to argue here, they made CT into MSQ content
That they made it into MSQ content is an admission that it was not MSQ content at the time it was introduced to the MSQ. Which means you're wrong and stupid. No surprise, you love talking about shit you have no clue about.
>Hello dumpy spam the 5ch screencaps and Kate faces instead of playing coy
Come on, you can melt down harder than that. Give me a proper squeal, piggy.
>>718958449
Well he's also trying to claim that Crystal Tower stuff doesn't count as side content being added to MSQ because it was made MSQ later. He's just stupid. And BLU stuff was brought into the MSQ at all even if you haven't done it, so any point he's pretending to have is just dead from several angles.

>>718958641
Yeah, but it is an addition to the MSQ whereas she was previously entirely sequestered to a raid series.

>The Kate defender quickly shut up when Asmon repeatedly called for Kate to be fired
HAHAHA

>>718958661
well i dont really care about all that my point is that beastmaster is going to be a huge nothingburger lorewise because the devs don't want to tie huge lore into side content

>>718958740
well then its the same as saying "blue mage was added to the MSQ" because its mentioned in a note

>>718958762
the literally who did a thing when the extremely filthy streamer begged for corporation to kneel to him

>>718958791
>well then its the same as saying "blue mage was added to the MSQ" because its mentioned in a note
I was not directly involved in your argument with the other guy.

About time they made a new FF MMO

These are the same people that got nuked twice and didn't want to back down, you aren't going to out stubborn a jap. This isn't going to stop.

>>718958819
You replied, you felt called out. HAHAHA

>>718958791
>well i dont really care about all that my point is that beastmaster is going to be a huge nothingburger lorewise because the devs don't want to tie huge lore into side content
BST will be a nothingburger just because it's gonna start in ARR zones. It won't be tied to Arcadion or Bozja because that's all high level stuff you can't access till later. People hoping to see Pagaga or Lyon are retarded, at most they'll mention Pagaga or Ganpp while you're going through the job quests.

>>718958840
I know im just saying its such a small thing it doesnt really matter beyond semantics

>>718958973
semantics are the obsessed screencapper's MO

>>718958973
It's more that it gives hope that some things that are side content might one day find their way into the main thing.
Not BLU though since that's expressly side content and I don't see it getting much more in the MSQ than some occasional nods.

>>718959009
umm ok?

>>718959034
Seems like nearly every expansion we get a crash-out that Heavensward and Shadowbringers side characters ended up not being hugely important in the long run

Is the lead battle content designer capable of designing a fight that doesn't require a body check?

>>718959160
Not from me.
Having said that, I am probably personally team normal raids, alliance raids and trial series should be mandatory.

>>718959034
Im sorry but I don't have any hope. Ok Gaia was an optional cameo in a cutscene so what. We can look at the new lore introduced in side content this expansion....oh wait its nothing. Ig Arcadion develops some things about Alexadria but Alexandria is never going to appear in the plot again and if it does its not going to be about beast souls. The Alliance Raid is just an advertisement for another game that is probably going to be rendered noncanon. And OC is just a 5th astral era museum

>>718959160
not really a crash out more an acknowledgement of fact

>>718959243
that was what my point was gonna be, ok i get it consolidating everything to the MSQ is easier lorewise but if so then theres no reason to have these irrelevant plotlines. we already tied trials to MSQ lets just go the extra mile yeah?

>>718959243
Ehhhhhhhh mandating raids to MSQ means they're also forced to run the same plot as MSQ in one way or another, we won't get separate plotlines anymore

Is the lead English translator and lore consultant able to release a patch and have everything translated? Too much time spent on Bluesky arguing about wanting people purged because they have opposing political views.

>>718959365
>Alexandria is never going to appear in the plot again
Probably will tie into Reflection stuff like First and Thirteenth in the long run.
>and if it does its not going to be about beast souls.
Fair.

>>718959508
she's not gonna fuck you bwo

I'm still amazed that the MSQ was so fucking bad for DT that I haven't touched the game since the month it dropped.
I was never subbed all year but I would come in every few months but now I'm finally free.
It had to have been intentional, no way they didn't know it was that bad

You're all too optmistic
FFXVII will be the Genshinfication of the franchise

>>718959635
The game has been "cooked" as the broccoli heads would say, ever since DT.

>>718949875 (OP)
He's obviously talking about what he said about the new DD.
Instead of having content only certain kinds of players only do, they are trying to make content doable by everyone. Not surprising at all

>>718949875 (OP)
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA

>>718959563
i know no one asked but my theory is that maehiro is writing 8.0 and knowing yoshida its just gonna copy the first saga again so we're getting heavensward 2 but this time in a new shard. and knowing maehiro he's gonna want to make it some manly dark fantasy shit but we can't retread ishgard so whats it gonna be....fucking vikings. we're going to the winter viking shard and fixing their fucked up barbarian culture while fighting norse gods. thats my crackpipe prediction

>>718959808
And it's going to fail spectacularly. No one gives a shit about having multiple difficulties of the same raid content, the people who don't like raids don't like raiding at any difficulty. They should be trying to experiment with content that's structured differently.

>>718959925
I'd be fine with that.

>>718959990
oh yeah I forgot to mention it ties in with the "winterers" thing that calyx mentioned. the new ascian will probably be pashtarot and she'll be a big tall dommy mommy because SE is always about 5 years behind

>>718959925
I don't want Maehiro anywhere near FFXIV again after reflecting on ARR and HW's writing quality combined with FF16's writing quality.

>>718960110
I agree but there's no one else available. Even FF16's writing is better than the interns who wrote DT, imo

WAAAAAAAH ITS DUMPY ITS DUMPY

>>718949875 (OP)
I'm glad I quit in 2020.

Just wish I quit sooner or didn't really play that much when I did during 1.0/2.0 .

>>718960082

>vikings
raugh
>new ascian will probably be pashtarot and she'll be a big tall dommy mommy
I'd still take it.

>>718960161
Maehiro's biggest sin is not putting his foot down and making Clive the dominant of Diabolos instead of Ifrit as a continuation of the real devil vs. false angel/god themes of FF16, Ifrit as a second eikon of fire raises too many questions since it's the only dual eikon element and fails to act on how hyped up Barnabas is as an eikon of darkness and both Ultima's puppet and the biggest threat to Clive

>>718959213
If they were, you still wouldn't like the fight.

>>718960342
sure and it would be a better justification as to why clive is the super most special dominant to have ever lived. still think it would be better tho if it was more of a traditional jrpg and the dominants were your party members (im thinking ff13 style where everyone has a unique summon).

>>718960747
Ok like what do you want instead? That's like playing Monster Hunter and complaining there's not enough small monster quests...that's the game is hunting big monsters as a group...

>>718961057

>>718960979
I can deal with Endwalker being the end of canon to anybody with taste and dawntrail being fanfiction.

>>718960870
You know, now that you put it like this.
If Heavensward came out in 2025, you would 100% have /v/ reeing about how it's a cucked DEI white extinction narrative.

>>718961160
oh yeah no if kinosward released nowadays we'd be raving about it being vile dogshit that demonizes the based catholic expy and is cuckifornia preachy about getting along with rapefugee dragons

WoW has
>better gameplay
>better class fantasy and design
>better dungeons
>better raids
>better endgame systems
>soon to be better housing
Why would I bother coming back to XIV now that the writing team is shit?

>>718961074
I don't need a solution to identify a problem. People who aren't raidtrannies don't want to raid at all, at any difficulty. Presenting "muh more difficulties" as a solution to giving non-raidtrannies content is a fake and uncreative way of "addressing" it. Either they don't have the resources to experiment, or the engine/job system can't support it, or they don't want to risk it, whatever the reason is, more raid difficulties will solve 0 problems.

These are the people you share a server with, when you play XIV

>>718961160
sure but also my hot take is that the politics of 14 were pretty limp and halfbaked even back in ARR
the axing of the garlemald plot was basically them admitting they failed to make an engaging political narrative and they just used the ukraine war as an excuse

No just communicate an idea. Here I'll give you an example.

>>718961367
I like that one Godbrand bit from HW or SB that gets passed around like the game saying it's "no handouts" when he's saying the Syndicate is gonna go completely apeshit if she gives handouts with no ROI, so she's kind of forced to do it that way by her own potato kike culture

>>718961708

>>718961732
>"you HAVE to come up with content ideas on 4chan because seeing criticism makes me seethe and I want you to STOP posting it!!"
No, I don't think I will. SE doesn't look at 4chan for feedback/ideas. Adding more raid difficulties is useless and a low effort way to pretend they're addressing the problem because it already fits into their cookie cutter content releases.

>>718961708
This but in ShB/EW.

>>718961779
ul'dah gets a lot of development like that but then you have the racist hyper religious forest state thats just ignored because the writers dont care and by stormblood we have pretty much stopped with the idea that the eorzean alliance is nothing but pure sunshine and rainbows.
if garlemald is going to be evil hitler land and eorzea is going to be awesome liberal land, then there's no real reason to have all these drawn out discussions about political tactics or war strategy etc etc. its just boring. with simplistic politics you can instead focus on character development and personal, emotional stories, which they switched to in shadowbringers

>mfw I have 4 +1 sets and 1 +0 set with 9999 of both coins still after I logged out
>I was only subbed for the 1 month during occult patch drop
Pain? Let me tell you about fucking pain anon. Pain is grinding sets that you will never ever use for glamour save for maybe the wolf hats if the fuckers could be dyed properly.
Pain is grinding so hard and long in OC that you swap to NIN to make it faster with [Mug] because there's always 10 of you useless scouting geared VIPPER NIGGERS dealing negative damage.
Pain is understanding that the devs hate you and don't want you to even enter Forked Tower by making it more annoying than getting into BA while having all the gear and jobs mastered to better do it with.
Pain is knowing it's going to take another year, from the start of that month when Occult Crescent dropped, for South Horn or North Horn (whichever) to release.
Pain is knowing that Cosmic Exploration will have more updates to it than the Adventure Foray and likely be considered the "Non-Hardcore content players want" by the dev leads when 8.0 comes around.

At least my fucking gear sets in Bozja helped me level in both ShB, EW, and DT while collecting relics and DOSH from cluster farming.
OC doesn't do any of that shit. It's fucking Bozja 0.5 with some of the shittiest aspects from Eureka.

>>718961940
Hes not going to play the game again unless it looks like a modern game and is more responsive than wow.
So basically give up on that ever happening.
If he were to come back he'd be stuck in stormblood too, assuming he never played off stream.

>>718961795
Its probably about the same, maybe more. The subs are down to Stormblood numbers but the cash shop is being updated even more regulary

>>718962103
I think it's less the writers don't care and more that Gridania has nowhere it can really go without abandoning the Elementals as a concept and they're not going to do that because it's pretty much Gridania's sole point of interest

One of the few examples of actual whitewashing I can think of in this game is Gridania and even Nophica, the actual goddess (read: her primal in the Twelve raids) pretending that the elementals are good little boys and they're just misunderstood and can't communicate well

>>718961779
>when he's saying the Syndicate is gonna go completely apeshit
Actually he's saying that the actual citizens of Ul'dah will go apeshit because they already have problems getting by and she wants to give money to a foreign country that has been squatting in the country for 20 years instead of giving them a better life. He's also saying that it's a net positive for the Ala Mhigans if they jumpstart their own economy instead of just getting money that isn't going to do shit for them if they starve and have to ask for more. He doesn't mention the Syndicate at all because he is on the Syndicate himself.

>>718962424
SE is the ultimate suicide maxxing company

>>718962230
You're probably right.

>>718962096
The main issue they face is that while they (mostly) come up with good ideas for content they forget the #1 aspect of a MMO, replayability. They provide very little incentive to do things more than a couple times, provide next to no long term goals, make rewards easily obtainable (even sellable on the market), and are very against actual grinding requirements.

Now this could be partially the fault of the increasingly annoying vocal minority casual playerbase but it doesn't let the devs off the hook for the blame. They totally wasted Island Sanctuary by giving it NO CONTENT and then botched Occult Crescent for some entirely insane reason that no human could possibly understand.

>>718962283
judging gridania for their fucked up culture or even taking a centrist approach with "oh well we can't function without the elementals so it is what it is" wouldn't work well with the we must fight the evil garlemald hitler empire narrative, so its just brushed aside.
you can really see how fumbled this all is with the varis "debate" cutscene. he's like "you guys are bad too!" and all the alliance leaders cringe in sadness before revealing his ultimate plan is to summon satan but dw thats actually a good thing! its a fucking seymour tier plan and I think the writers realized at that point that any political commentary they could make was pretty much over

Ul'dah has peasantry too, retard. And he doesn't mention the Syndicate even once.
>They don't HAVE an economy even before the fall, Gyr Abania is a shithole with nothing but salt and they sustained their nation through trade, mercenary work and conquest
And rather than send them back with still no economy, it's a net positive for them and for everyone else to jumpstart the fucking SALT industry because salt is more valuable than fucking gold.
>ROI makes absolutely no sense for him to talk about unless he is referring to the Syndicate
You're a retard. Ul'dah needs money to take care of its own people. If the Ala Mhigans can benefit from industry and the Ul'dahn people can benefit from that industry as well, that's the best outcome. Much better than simply moving money from the Ul'dahn people to the Ala Mhigans and producing nothing. Again, he doesn't mention the Syndicate at all. You imagined your own version of the conversation so you could pretend he agrees with your fucked up regressive politics.

You're not in a discord call.

I am desperate for XIV to literally change ANYTHING about the formula, why not make the Relic weapons available at launch and have them actually augment the way classes play?

>>718962901
Clearly not, if I was a mod you'd be licking my boot.

>>718962878
Because of your desperation, YoshiP knows he can change nothing at all and still keep you on board.

>>718962807
preasu understandu!!! smaru indie company...
At this point, they could have shell maps, bosses and boss arenas that are already made and someone just goes in and slaps in a new model skin or moves textures around in the hallway dungeon, it's all the same reskinned shit.

>>718962878
PVP and exploratory zones change the way jobs play, unfortunately the former is full of cheaters and the latter was dumbed down because retards hate having to play the game. The relic however should be available during the x.0 patch and it should be a huge grind that takes you through every piece of content in an expansion.

>>718962878
Dog I don't want relic weapons to be a hard lock for my weapon slot

>>718962989
>At this point, they could have shell maps, bosses and boss arenas that are already made and someone just goes in and slaps in a new model skin or moves textures around in the hallway dungeon, it's all the same reskinned shit.

>>718963110
Why does it matter though? Getting a new weapon in XIV is literally meaningless, just another skin, they dont have anything unique about them. Gear in XIV is so boring, but maybe I should just stick to XI

>>718963320
It's been the same game for a decade it's not changing now, either you like it or you don't.

They'd have to actually put content in the expansion to make it worthwhile though.

>>718963534
You just said you were desperate for changes.

>>718963491
what do you not understand about ul'dah needing money too being a dogshit argument

>>718963218
>savage weapon
>mandatory
you do realize whenever a new tier comes out we just replace it with pentamelded crafted right?

>>718963409
Did you even read the other anons initial post?

>and have them actually augment the way classes play?
If you added a weapon that changed the way a job played then that weapon would be the only thing that matters because it provides an effect that no other weapon does. It may or may not make a discernable difference in casual content but it might make or break actual raid content.

So uhh can anyone explain to me how XIV STILL has the absolute shittiest version of transmog in the genre? How are players still limited in storage for appearances?? why are there fewer glam plates than jobs in the game??

i wish GNB was a dps class

>>718963601
There's a reason they DO add stuff like this but only with the crafter/gatherer tools, things that don't affect combat at all

>>718963616
Because people keep giving FFXIV a lot of money.

>>718963616
because it's also the game with actual gear looking gear

>>718962618
>source: 4chan screenshot
lmao

>>718963616
For a game even older than XIV the backend of modern WoW is very impressive. Their transmog system is best in class and I saw that they are improving it even more in their expansion, they just need to allow dyeing gear finally

>>718963630
I wish there were specs for all jobs with different skills. I wish you could have subclasses like in 5 and tactics

>>718963630
I've stopped saying I wish for shit because people will twist it to be some kind of dig at the game rather than "i think this would be cool to have as well"

>>718963461
Forgive me for bringing this up but no, it was never more rpg like and it was not more rewarding to play the old job design, it's like someone crying that WoW vanilla was so much more involved than retail today. In reality people were just really fucking bad back then and thought raid fights with 1 mechanic were the peak of content design.

If you want a REAL MMORPG with actual choices and complexity please try out FF11 you will really enjoy it.

>>718963760
if XIV had WoW's game feel there would be literally no question to XIV's dominance, game feels amazing to play but unfortunately the game itself sucks

>>718963760
>they just need to allow dyeing gear finally
They never will because that means they would have to model more armor.
5 recolors of one armor set spread around 5 different activities would suddenly disappear and force them to actually make 5 armor sets instead

>XIV:ARR got its start by copying nearly everything from WoW at the time
>XIV blew up and WoW had a down period so Yoshi got high on his own supply and stopped trying to copy what works

>5 recolors of one armor set spread around 5 different activities would suddenly disappear and force them to actually make 5 armor sets instead
The tradeoff being every single patch each Class gets a unique set, compared to XIV sets all sharing between their roles.

I'm mad that you're right.

>>718963616
The real answer is effort.

Many of the features within XIV are ancient, part of 1.0, and despite desperately needing to be fixed they refuse to do so because they don't want to put forward the time, manpower, money, or thought to do so. The graphical update was a singular step in the right direction but the glamour chest, glamour plates, dye system, inventory management, crafting systems, and even the friends list (lol playerscope) all need attention.

>>718964258
Again, 1 set an expansion versus all classes in WoW getting sets each patch. You can cherry pick the worst AF sets in the game and the worst WoW tier sets. Cant wait for the next AF set in XIV for White Mage to be a boring white robe with a flower theme

>>718964252
it sure doesn't look like it's on the up
all it seems to do is maintain the people that were already playing, and even those are grumpy

>>718964470
UBI is retarded because resources are finite and all you're doing by dumping fake money into people is temporarily stopping them from rioting because you've destroyed their homes and their industry and sold it to foreigners.
This also has absolutely nothing to do with FFXIV. Lolorito and Godbert believe in enriching people by enabling them to generate future wealth on their own rather than dumping lump sums on them which will inevitably run out and leave them with their hands out again. That's why the Gold Saucer exists.

Is this another thing you imagined like you imagined Godbert (or Godbrand as you called him) talking about how the Syndicate was gonna be mad?
>and those two are the only ones that are even kind of vocally against fucking the Ala Mhigans into the dirt with abusive contracts
Teledji famously pretended to be on the side of the Ala Mhigans to benefit off their cheap labor. He employed them in the Platinum Mirage. Dewlala doesn't comment at all. Raubahn is Ala Mhigan. That's 5/6 Syndicate members. Fyrgeiss is the only one who openly fucks them.

i can't think of anything sadder than joining threads about games you don't play just to argue with people because you are upset they are playing a game you don't like

>>718949875 (OP)
14 players are bigger slop eaters than wowfags nowadays, just look how fucking barebones the game is, how little new content it gets and how much shit gets added to the cash shop instead of being a reward in game

>>718965156
I have to be a Weepy Boomer™ in threads or else I die.

>>718965156
I can think of something more sadder. You posting this in almost every thread.

So what bad news did WoW get to make Vauthry have another melty?

>>718959925
We still need a Brynhildr trial after all

>>718964635
Yes it's plainly clear you're talking out of your ass when you say stupid shit like that

>>718965181
Even sadder is "YOU POST THIS EVERY THREAD" as a form of self-tattling

>>718965003
imagine playing dragoon still after they gutted in this expansion

>>718965181
yeah uh, don't think so

see you are purposely choosing to not play a video game you do enjoy in order to sit here and get mad at other people having fun

What do they mean by less content? The content is already completely barebones.

>>718965186
New expansion looks like it'll be anemic as shit because all the effort is put into housing.
Blood elf players having a melty because Alliance players can take a dump in their city.
Devs saying Sylvanas will return in Midnight.
Cinematic looked like pure pigshit with manjaws.
Story is still awful.

>>718965390
Take away the bones.

>>718965332
I played it back when it was a Bard slave in Stormblood, I'll manage

>>718965332
if by gutted you mean fixed the bloat then yeah it's pretty alright now

>>718965332
I don't need to imagine it. I'm doing it.
It doesn't feel gutted, but I do miss my Nastrond charges. Good riddance to Dragon Sight, though.

Which copies XIV's housing but is instanced and has a Z position adjustment.

No, because XIV doesn't have neighbourhood jannies.

FFXI

>>718966083
wait does wow housing actually have an HOA

XIV trannys are completely mindbroken since they can't call everyone who criticizes the game barry/folder dumper/whatever schizo boogeyman they dream of. The combination of the playerbase plummeting, yoshi-p admitting less resources and content, and the effect HRT has on their minds has been insurmountable to them. Sad.

>>718967149
He said that a developer for the game shouldn't be posting about how she wants to purge political dissidents from creative projects she works on.

>>718967294
define lost his marbles
what the fuck happened? Did he sperg out about dawntrail?

>>718967404
no that isn't what got him vilified

>>718967303
what do you mean

>>718967434
Say it without the faux apathetic lowercaps, tranny.

>>718967448
it's totally normal for any company to use money from one game and put it into another
they don't know ahead of time that that game will be a bad one
do you think they're deliberately putting out things that don't sell

>>718967420
Sperged out about Dawntrail very hard (basically declared it dead, typical /v/ ragebait stuff) and had enough of a presence at the time that he attracted the attention of more notable people like MrHappy who called him retarded

Inability to actually coherently argue his point coupled with his points not really being as serious as he was making it out to be embarrassed him and he did le right wing pivot in response, but he'd already been working on that for some time with the other people he's been hanging out with in recent months/years

Extremely cringe person on the whole and very probably his follower wave is botted, there isn't a huge chud population in FFXIV for him to pander to

I wish the faggots obsessing over the Kate creatura would stop screeching about her here and just started doing something about it.
Contact SE, show them all the examples of her being a retard. Get her fired. I couldn't give two shits.
But nah, you fags never do jack or shit and instead just keep having fake conversations about it here.

>>718967520
i think they're fucking retarded and have no idea what people actually want
anyone with a pulse was able to tell that forspoken was a bad idea and wouldn't sell, you don't need hindsight to see that
its a similar situation to redfall from microsoft, they have producers whose job it is to evaluate their products and see if they're ready for launch. anyone could have seen that redfall should've been axed but they went through with release anyway and embarrassed themselves
maybe microsoft is too big to fail but if SE keeps making retarded decisions and pissing money away that will be very bad for them

>>718967696
>i think they're fucking retarded and have no idea what people actually want
Maybe. But that doesn't change that the whole using their money that they gain from one set of games for another is totally normal business stuff.

>>718967756
yeah, but it gets to the point where xiv is clearly failing and they do not have enough resources to keep their current subscriber count. you only start diverting resources when the ship is stable and you can allocate the smallest possible budget while still growing

>>718967616
okay what did he complain about in dawntrail though? DEI shit or was it valid complaints?
The valid complaints of dawntrail is the localization sucks, weak voice direction for everyone (I know we hate Wuk's tranny VA but I've heard his other roles and he sounds fine but then again he voices males in his other roles)
MSQ kinda sucks and is dragged down by over abundance of the dreaded cat
Despite all of this though the actual content in dawntrail is the best its ever been. But the job balance and reworks have been kinda shit

>Content already as dryer than The Atacama Desert
>Yoshida "if you want different difficulty options it means that we're going to reduce the amount of content"
What the fuck are they smoking at Square Enix? This is just so fucking stupid, my eyes are rolling to the back of my head.

>>718967948
Let's start over, basically he tried to pivot from "person who enjoys playing the game" to "doomer drama farmer who hates the game" and got called out for it because all of his comments were utterly retarded, like most doomers.

That's it, it's not worth worrying about.

>>718967686
"Doing something about Kate" would require not being a total internet pussy and playing Statler & Woldorf on social media all day, and it would also require not being a pussy and accepting that you can't rage somebody out of a hired position with 100% certainty

What's probably actually keeping them from "doing something about her" is that Square Enix made it plain after that lawsuit SEGA successfully won in 2024 against a harasser that they would also pursue legal action if you were found to be harassing them or any of their branches, and they're aware that demanding an employee they don't like be fired would fall under that-- it may have actual, real-world consequences to be a total shithead to them on the internet in a web domain or other place that it would actually matter

So you're just gonna see endless raging here on /v/ and on Twitter for the permanent future, because they have no outlet that won't get their pants sued off

>>718967958
so if there's no content there's nothing to remove, right?

>>718967958
>makes ultimates, the hardest content
>people clamor for HARDER CONTENT STILL
make up your fucking minds, holy shit I am tired of the hardcore difficulty autists who cares if the game is "too easy" for you, find another fucking game to play
I already fucking hate ultimates because it caters to the like 1% of the playerbase who enjoys that level of difficulty so most people end up missing these actual cool fights and a lot of people end up just buying clears for the prestige so the prestige means nothing
I fucking hate this shit so much I miss the comfy raid days of heavensward

>>718968123

Why don't you just do the fights?

>>718968107
Yeah that's confusing to me too, what are they going to remove?

:')

>>718968286
Do that and stop playing the game instead of becoming a dedicated hater I guess

Reminder that you can just delete your account and be free

This person in particular only raids, I don't think he's ever watched a live letter, live, and when brand new content is released he foregoes doing it and instead goes to run old raids repeatedly for 12 hours until his stream is over. He's that type of autist.

>>718968218
admittedly I don't have the patience for it
extremes? comfy, easy, can pug them easily even if most pugs are still retarded
savage? comfy, but quality ranges from raid to raid (pandaemonium sucked)
ultimates? static basically required. Have to be 100% top of your game for fights that are so long the primary difficulty becomes fatigue.
I don't have the patience, or skill to put up with it. So yes, admittedly, skill issue.
I also don't give a single fuck about parsing, but everyone does nowadays. For me it has always been a clear is a clear, now everyone is like "MUST DO PARSE UPTIME RUNS NEVER SAFE STRATS"

>>718968432
>>718968505

this is the tweet that llamatodd got flak for?
this isn't doomposting this is a legitimate complaint about Kate who is a piece of shit

>>718968643
its old news but i kinda hate how the story treats humanity like it was able to survive the final days because of their hope and hardship and strength of spirit when in reality, no, if the wol wasn't the strongest most powerful badass then they would've gotten their shit kicked in by the endsinger

>>718968721
No, he got flak for being a retard about believing Dawntrail was some nadir of the game's quality.

>>718968432
>>718968505
>>718968651
chances of kate actually getting fired? It would happen to anyone else on the other side of the political spectrum.

>>718968721
No, that's an entirely separate situation.

>>718968797
it kinda is though, its objectively the least popular and most polarizing expansion

>>718958659
What are you saying?

>>718968770
WoL killed the source of it but the planet was already doing a pretty decent job of surviving Blasphemies relative to the Ancients, if the planet didn't succumb to the despair waves of the Endsinger then there wasn't really anything she could do besides destroy the planet manually (obviously this kills everyone but it's not her winning the philosophical argument her despair waves represent, it's forcing the issue)

>>718949875 (OP)
how is this nigga still finding ways to do less

>>718968859
Dawntrail being the worst ever on its own merits implies Shadowbringers is the zenith expansion when it was worse than Stormblood in some respects. Or, worse, Endwalker is the zenith, when it had basically nothing after 6.0 wrapped up.

>>718968949
Simple. He's getting pressured to cut operating expenses at SE, and one of the ways of doing that is putting in less resources in existing projects.

>>718968721
Yes, it was this one that had the FFXIV schizos jump down his throat, Asmon called them fucking pathetic and said the ff14 community should feel ashamed of themselves for trying to cancel Todd over a legitimate complaint.
I would recommend watching Asmongolds vod starts at 3hours and 11 minutes the segment on FF14.

>>718968906
thats only because the final days were presented as the biggest nothingburger of all time, the only two places it had time to affect was garlemald (which was already a shithole) and thavnair (which is protected by a literal dragon).

>>718967264
>forgetting companies want a diverse portfolio instead of putting their eggs in one basket
There's a reason they're not going all in on XIV moron. They want lifeboats everywhere. The fact that SE sucks at their investments is another issue entirely.

>>718969024
Incorrect, see the two previous responses you chose to ignore so you could post your parasocial drama addiction.

>>718968797
>>718968846

>>718969043
>>718967854

>>718969038
It was largely a nothingburger BECAUSE the modern people were better equipped and emotionally capable of handling it

>>718968596
You can PF the older ultimates pretty easily. You can sometimes even prog faster than in a static because the thing about a static is that no matter how fast YOU learn, you're stuck with the slowest retard who needs to see every single possible pattern of every single mechanic at least 10 times before he finally gets it. With PF once you're confident in something you can just go ahead to the next group. But the cool factor and spectacle is the reward for getting through all that. If you made normal mode ultimates it wouldn't be cool or satisfying.

>>718969064
Post his tweet or shut up, I'm not here to argue back and forth if you're not going to post anything, I'm just going to ignore you.

>>718968797
>>718968846
okay, you guys keep saying this but not posting the actual shit he supposedly got flak for
you can't just vaguepost "oh he believed dawntrail ruined the game" and not just post the source

>>718969043
>They want lifeboats everywhere.
then why do they keep releasing garbage that flops and keep bleeding away their golden goose with their dumbass decisions?

>>718969110
not really, the only example of them "being better emotionally capable of handling it" is thavnair getting over despair after one pep talk from g'raha. ig none of the ancients had a soft commanding voice, sucks to be them

>>718969181
>not really
It is literally the backbone of the entire expansion's story that they're better at it and both MSQ and role quests follow up on this, go away

>>718969064
No it's correct, that's a separate issue you're trying to conflate the two to dismiss criticism against Kate, I see what you're trying to do.
This incident is purely about Kate.

>>718962610
Anon wants them to buy a ton of poos

>>718968982
Omega was better than Eden and dark knight was ruined but that's the only concession I will give
shadowbringers was better in every way otherwise

>>718969043
if only they weren't sinking their only lifeboat
why is square so retarded

>>718969092
Once again the fact that SE is retarded is a whole other issue. FFXIV was stable for multiple expansions it was just that the very thing it's players kept defending when brought up finally is an issue now that the story is shit. It's a wound inflicted by the dev team and the players who kept rewarding them for it.
>>718969179
Cause they're retarded. XIV was just lighting in a bottle they couldn't maintain.

>>718968840
>chances of kate actually getting fired?
0%. The whole crux of the conservaSHIT argument is that she was calling for a genocide of conservaSHITs. That’s not true, actually. She retweeted a call for conservaSHITs to be “purged from public life” which is not the same as calling for extermination. It just means society should collectively tell conservaSHITs to fuck off.

>>718969235
he was already a retard when he blabbered about kate
ffxiv's doomnigger circles are obsessed with kate
it's not hard to figure out

>It is literally the backbone of the entire expansion's story
yeah and they failed horribly. ever heard of 'show, not tell'?
this goes back to what I said in another thread about endwalker discussion not being on the same page. obviously humans epic owning the ancients in resisting despair was the intention but it didn't actually come through well at all, and side content shits on this even more. im sure the final days never reached tural because everyone there loved peace so much they never had to worry about despair

>>718969512
You're arguing with a white knight called Macchi, he is terminally online and spends most of his time either on the official forums concern trolling or in /xivg/ gooning but since Mare is gone they can't goon anymore so they're here to 'defend the honor' of FFXIV.
Honestly you won't get much sense out of these people, they're brain broken and can't hold a normal conversation with people it always has to be about who is winning or losing in an interaction.

>can't even make one thing up.
Pathetic. Here I'll help you. Ok you remember dungeons from BEFORE DT?? Ok well they go like this: you walk down a hallway and you pull 2 or 3 packs of mobs, then you get to a boss. You do this THREE times, and the bosses have like, ONE mechanic you haven't seen in previous expansions!!! Ok so the same thing has happened in every expansion before DT, but uh... ok it's different in DT because um...

>>718969678
Higher production values (if you don't know what that entails, it means fully voiced with every fight having it's own music, among other things) and more interesting mechanic designs. In two tiers we've seen wild add phases, boss movements, arena changes, and much more interesting and wacky visual representation for mechanics.

I would argue that the gear rewards have regressed in quality but that too easily derails into a retard crying about fantasy vs sci fi, which is not the point.

Shut up retard.

Is anyone else tired of trannies being brought up every day?

frankly i have no idea how to respond to such blatant stupidity, you win

>>718970041
Yes. But that's just /v/ now. Nobody can finish a single sentence without at least one mention of "tranny" or "troon" in it.
Thank the influx of browns that want too desperately to belong with whites.

>Phone poster is a retard
Why am I not surprised.

did people actually quit because of mare

>>718970214
it's probably contributing to some of the seething on /v/ at the very least

>>718970248
Doesn't really feel too different.
Maybe because /v/ has been seething about XIV since its inception, though.

>>718970214
>people

>>718970214
the unfortunate reality is that the plugin will be back up in the near future under a different name and creator so none of it matters

>>718970149
Has nothing to do with what I am talking about
saying tranny on /v/ has become as bas as lefties calling everything nazi or that one stoner friend who cannot go an hour without talking about weed.

>>718970214
The more terminally gooners who used mare are using Loporritt.

>>718970367
>using Loporritt.
Comrade... Did I hear that correctly...?

>>718970367
im so desensitized to this stuff i read "scary predator app" and just replace it with "plugin for people who want to sync their lala mods"

>>718970360
dude.... trannies lmao....

>>718970214
So far no there's no direct proof of anybody outright abandoning the game because Mare died, else you'd probably actually see Twitter and Discord screencaps about it instead of people just imagining it's the case

>>718970504
Experts agree, the latest studies show that there's no proof of anyone ever quitting the game.

>>718970662
you good?

>>718970768
I'm just letting everyone know the Science is settled and the XIV playerbase is stronger than ever.

Nobody that hates the game is doing good these days

>>718970853
Honestly seems like mass hysteria as of late.

>>718970768
You notice how passive aggressive he was to you? It's a troon.

>Ask question

>Immediately go schizo mode because you expected an unrealistic answer

what do you expect? should people just know the account status of every person who used the addon? yeah hold on bro let me ask i'll get back to you

>>718971000
Oh, he wasn't responding to me. I just saw the post and thought it sounded a little distraught.

>>718971005
>should people just know the account status of every person who used the addon?
If you're going to make a claim about how there's no proof of anyone, not a single person, quitting the game over it, then yeah.

>>718971082
Well, do you have any proof?

>>718971119
You could not be conceding any harder than you are right now.

>>718971119
Of what? I didn't make a claim.

>>718971148
>>718971158
Well it looks like there is no answer to your question then.

Do you guys find any fun in arguing with retards?

>>718971252
Not really, I wish this website had real moderation that would weed them out instead of spurring them on.

>>718971327
>mods mods please ban the meanies because i cant win the argument :(((

>>718971327

>>718970041
I long for the days when it was mostly only the SASS rejects thinking and talking about trannies 25 hours a day, 8 days a week

>>718971394
Are you the guy that posted twitter pics and then couldn't find the source of them? Or are you the guy asking random people for hard evidence of people quitting the game and got mad that he was told there isn't any? Actually you could be the guy that quit responding when he was told WoW and FFXIV weren't the only MMOs with housing.

>>718971327
unfortunately you're on the website that instead of immediately making words an auto-ban when the mods smell they're going to be spammed relentlessly for years, they just let it go instead

>>718971327
Every topic on this board has its own schizo now
Truly exhausting

>>718971327
Makes you wonder why you even post here anymore when all you're doing is running a tard daycare, no?

>>718971512
Good point.

>>718971524
This right here is the wildest thing, every thread on this board no matter what game it's about somehow has at least one schizo who dedicates his life to ruining all discussion about said game. XIV of course has a large number of them for obvious reasons but it shocked me when I realized that even the smallest most obscure game gets spammed with hate posts, not even trolling, just straight up schizo hate.

>>718971665
I post on /toy/ (slow-ass moving board) and it has the same caliber of schizo and doomposter.

>>718971512
Posts like this are proof gore spam isn't used enough to keep these thin skinned faggots out.

>>718971665
what happened was proxies and ban evasion started getting really sophisticated because the 'ick on 'eck fat fuck, instead of getting filtered or auto-banned for his pet meme where he flops his cock against a steam deck (this is a repeat theme!), got hen-pecked manually by mods every single time-- so he bought some amazon server space and started hosting his own proxies so he could keep forcing pictures of his cock with his own epic meme onto /v/, and now a metric fuckton of russians and ritual ban evaders have free access

because they literally will not do their jobs in a way that matters. they could very easily blanket ban loads of shit that makes /v/ awful and they don't

>>718971806
just because you learned about 4chan 4 years ago doesn't mean you know anything about it, nor does it mean you fit in

>>718969359
Endwalker babies are so fucking embarassing
All real XIV boomers know Heavensward kino was the peak

>>718971806
If gore spam worked in 2006 you wouldn't be here demanding it in 2025, it didn't keep anybody out. Encyclopedia Dramatica is not a reliable source.

>>718971841

>>718971905
How would it work when it isn't spammed?

>>718969359
It's not bad but endwalker needs to be way lower on the content scale, island sanctuary was a content black hole and criterion was a do-it-once and never go back. I guess it gets points for 2 ultimates but aside from that, eeesh.

>>718971591

yes you should leave, go back, go quickly and never return

It was kino DOE and nobody is going to know what that is because these threads are all endbryos.

HW had the coolest primals at least (outside of bismark)

Game was much better from ARR to SB

All they can do now is cope

If you're still playing FFXIV or have any hope left for its turn around, you're getting what you deserve.

>>718973272
I'm enjoying it so I'm playing it.
