Why is Warrior so fucking boring?

Because tanks are boring to play

>tried out tanking to 62
>cant fucking stand it anymore

don't know if its warriors, or just tanks in general, but that shit is a fucking snoozefest.

but the instant queues are so convenient. really fucking sucks, but I'm not surprised that this game has a horrible trinity ratio.

Try DRK or PLD and see if either of their skillsets gel with you better. Perfectly fine if tanking doesn't suit you though.

Nobody wants to tank in this fucking game. Even my statics dedicated tanks hate it. Its just not an enjoyable role in XIV.

Someone used my recruitment code the other day.
I feel back because this is the 6th person I've roped into this shitty game, and I've been unsubbed for 80% of the last 3 years. Have they even added anything new to buy with Chocobo Feathers?

I would, but I just finished leveling warrior 30-62, and I don't feel like reliving that again even with instant queues for the rest of my life.

it was very slightly better before they pruned shit in sb
it also helped that the playerbase collectively didn't know any better and though 2.x pld was an acceptable class design

The class quests are great.

>DUDE the guy is named after the famous monkey haha

Does anyone have a spare Twitch Prime FFXIV Starter Edition code they are willing to share? I really want to try the game out ;w;

30-50 is pretty alright since it hypes up the inner beast and the element of self-doubt playing into controlling it, 50-60 is great when it focuses on living up to or exceeding the legends of Mythril Heart, 60-70 is awful and Curious Gorge spending literally 40 levels of not being able to control his beast is insulting

Name aside, I liked the character development up until stormblood. Then it just became some stupid Mary Sue anime shit

Try the trial first, game's completely free up to level 35 across all jobs

I agree with all of that. Then again I guess I’m a sucker for semi decent coming of age/“with great power” stories

No they aren't, it's 40 levels of trying to teach Gorge not to be a pussy and control his inner beast that he keeps losing to

>Curious fucking Gorge gets laid before the WoL does

He was doing pretty good up until a woman entered the story and broke all his focus

the first scene in the game has the wol feeling hydaelyn

Gorge wastes his penis on a xaela skank while we have Alisaie, Yugiri, M'naago, Lyse yuck, Hydaelyn via Minfilia meat-puppet, the ACN guild-leader, and various other friends to pick from

between Scholar, Machinist, Bard, or Red Mage, which stormblood relic weapon is the best?

scholar is the only one tolerable

the elemental tuck for rdm is pretty nice
most of the elemental weapons are pretty good, now that i think about it. the final stage looks awful for all but a few weapons

I'd say MCH, I don't think BRD is bad, just not quite my taste in bows. SCH just makes me think I'd rather just use Last Resort instead.

Pretty much. Its especially bad now since there's not really anything to talk about with the game that hasn't been said already. Even the autistic Viera posting has thankfully died down.

That's because knowledge is power you pathetic simpleton. Why do you think I have so many books in here? checkmate.

Not that user but Heavensward is overrated and while the later parts make it a lot better the early and middle part of HW is an absolute awful chore. Probably nicer if you do it while it's current content too as opposed to being behind everyone and people not hyping you up from the side. I did HW late too and it made me quit the game and lose interest in the lore until the fanfest and Shadowbringers reveal.. 3-4 times it made me quit and I was very much into the story. The intro/start is slow, shitty and takes you out of any and all hype among other.

DRG's problem is it behaves like a selfish-DPS but doesn't have the DPS to back that up, Battle Litany is amazing but Dragon Sight is peanuts for anyone but the DRG itself and Piercing Resistance/Disembowel is more a happy accident that it synergizes with other jobs than anything

Their versions of the primal themes are fucking terrible.

If you don't mind a rotation that will not change, ever, it's fun. You're attacking almost constantly in one way or another and there's legitimate thought to put into when to use your buffs and/or use your Jump skills, since the latter has animation locks.

>the game turned into a grind hell that doesn't give me enough exp or rewards for anything
from MSQ?

The content between expansions was made after the corresponding level cap so it doesn't give much, if any, exp. 2.1 to HW is the worst slog in the entire game. Keep drudging through it and you'll get to 70 fast than if you just start spamming dungeons right now, just stick with it.

As a general rule, most jobs only start to get fun or feel complete after they hit the 60s.

Can't till next expansion so dps-only shitters can beg me to queue with them in a tell they'll send the moment they see me in the new zones. Which I'll promptly ignore and/or reject of course.
And then I make a pf with another tankbro so I can do the content with 2 tanks 1 dps and 1 healer. And have it fill up in seconds too.

Depends on what you like, but PLD is widely regarded as the most boring tank in the game and tanks in general are pretty niche because most people can't stand just hitting 1-2-3 over and over. That's why tanks predominantly get adventurer in need bonus.

No you're not. XIV's "paladin" is a Paladin in name only. What they really are, are knights that serve the sultanate. There was absolutely nothing Paladin-like about their toolkit until people bitched and complained (rightfully so) and SE gave us some lazy Paladin-themed skills in HW and SB.

I feel like it's a low-key development post-Calamity that the Elementals aren't nearly as in control as Gridanians still hype up. In story, they've been pretty weak in responding to invading presences, the Hearers are getting more indistinct messages and having to spend more field time quell restless and corrupted spirits... It's not to say they have NO power, but given that Gridania partially relies on the reputation of the Elementals of Black Shroud in fucking people they don't like up, and that they're otherwise sitting on a swath of valuable natural resources, it's got to be in Gridania's best interests to keep outsiders wary and continue to try to help placate the Elementals and encourage them to recover somehow.

T. PLD sitting with his thumb in his ass hardcasting clemency all pull.

With PLD your self healing is wasting DPS. With the other classes your self healing IS your DPS.

Starting a war isn't a good thing, but it is a good thing it kicked off hard the way it did.
Otherwise the three big cities would have kept sitting on their dicks doing nothing until every resistance faction was already wiped out cause none of them can see past their own immediate personal interests, at which point they'd be completely fucked for not having enough people to fight back.

You are either lying or misremembering. Dps queues were abysmal at launch and and introducing 2 new dps jobs didn't help that. But then again I played during early access so maybe it was different with the official launch it that's when you played it?

Well I don't either but can still understand quite a lot because of the anime I watch and japanese games I play. If you are a weeb you shouldn't have a problem with this and if you're not a weeb why are you playing this game?

Also doesn't help that they kinda fucked how elementals are supposed to look in ARR.

I "played" early access and by that i wasted the first day in front of raubahn but after i passed the great wall it was a breeze the queues for dps were really fast.
I was in primal.

ARR 1080p is unironically the best looking one of those three. That light is way too bright-looking for how little the interior sections of the lantern are illuminated in 1.0.

Yes, just like its identical sequel Eureka people ran it for the carrots on the stick

The lower quality of the image obscures the fact that it's just a painted-on white texture more than the 4k pic does. Sort of like old sprites that were designed with scanlines in mind that look like shit without them.

I fucking hate Eureka but I hated Diadem at least 10x more

>dumb motherfuckers trying to sound smart on the internet say dumb shit
more news at 11

I did with my fc.
The diadem was dog shit but even shit with friends is fun.
I liked the meltdown it caused though.

It's shit he should know if he expects to tank spamming a self heal. I know it's a braindead role but you should at least try to be useful beyond holding enmity.

Diadem was far better than Eureka because you could get all the shit you wanted from it in less than an hour and be done with it, and it provided a quick and painless way to grind gear for alts compared to Eureka's. Also it had gathering

Didnt 1.0 have 0 environmental shadows and no true light sources

I tested empty locations on both. ARR staring at the floor at 4K in the corner of a small house was lower fps than 1.0 in the Adventurer's Guild with the NPC population while smacking a test enemy.

Player shadows were affected by light sources in the same manner ARR does. There's no environment shadows though as you mentioned. In place of environment shadows were normal maps being put to heavy use though.

If you don't want to be a buff bitch just don't buff? Or just play a ''selfish'' dps?

yes, it's untrabable and most people can get most of that shit from spending achievement points anyway

I wait for protect to see if the healer is ready and not afk post-viewing cutscene

But I like Dragoons.

If you want the wolf marks for glamour or minions or whatever, then do frontlines and turn off your brain. If you want to try pvp for the sake of it; don't.

I couldn't keep playing. I think I ended at level 53. It was just a boring fucking game with a 2 second cool down per hit..

Heh, foolish scrub thinking the GM's will allow you to speak out of turn. Reported for criticizing my playstyle.

I prefer Eos just because Whispering Dawn is yet another tool to allow me to do zero manual heals on the tank during large pulls, since WD/Rouse/Excog/Tether where applicable covers 95% of it. Most folks in DF can't even make use of the 3% you get from Fey Wind anyways.

Ok, I can take the hint

Imagine being salty about people organizing themselves to tackle multiplayer content in an MMO. It's really baffling. You could join the crowd, you could organize your own, but no, instead you choose to whine on taiwanese picture scrolls. This is how incels must feel when they see people socializing, but won't do anything about it instead.

never, they already said they don't care

How am I supposed to clear kefka when only legit shitters join my groups :(

no they fucking didn't. RMT is against the rules.

Go back in time when it was relevant content.

You are probably in the wrong server.

I am still fucking mad that Doma tps has the blank icon instead of their flag.

>isn't that literally the FC that sells clears for real money?
Literally every big raiding FC sells clears for real money.

Literally every static sells clears.

I make good use of both. I usually use selene's fey wind and then swiftcast to eos at the start of the fight. I'm just saying, selene is best used on sic and eos on obey.

Those are the prime time erp.
There are probably others but i don't really know.

>parsing and installing mods, reshade and nvdia settings
comparing RMT to those is a joke.. fuck off. I can't wait until you get banned, RMTshitter. I bet you bought your clears.

Huh did they update it later? I saw a video stating that player shadows were not affected by light sources at all. The shadow direction was set in stone in each area

Try and get a static? I don't know I don't bother with savage. Just remember that a lot of sellers join pfs to purposefully ruin it to get more people to buy clears
Maybe next expansion you can try it unsync? And then most sellers wouldn't bother ruining it because it's outdated and cheesable anyway?

>they already said they don't care
lmao, no

RMT is one of the few things you can actually be punished for if you get caught

Relax man. If some guy wants to larp as a cat online then let him. Yea, I wouldnt hang with him in real life, but no need to be so angry.

Good, git ye gone. Cactuar is for raiding bulls.

why does pvp suck though

raiding bulls testicles for sperm you fucking cumdump

>queues take forever
>when you get in your party are sitting ducks because the enemies are all premade parties
if you like waiting 30 minutes to get in then losing then I guess it's fine.

Because it's an afterthought. Healers are nigh unkillable, ranged has advantage over literally everyone else, tanks are just there to waste your time and annoy you because they can't do any worthwhile damage, everyone would rather suck each other off for K:D than actually work toward the objective of whatever you queued for. Feast is Wintrading: The Game and if you're not in the circlejerk then good fucking luck getting top billing during any season.

That's pretty much the entire game though so why would you ever be interested in resubbing?

jesus fuck, what the hell is yoshi doing
I mean, it's only 40 ventures, but what the fuck

Should squeenix put combos together into a single button like they did in pvp?

which sucks because a lot of really nice glamour is locked behind it, and things like mounts that require getting a certain leaderboard rank which vast majority of people will never get

healers get fucking raped by melee in RW now though

also hidden gorge is still pretty fun here on EU, just pray to matchmaking RNGeesus that you don't end up in the team full of retards that can't keep their map open

You anti-pvp faggots need to be gunned down, MMOs dont work without player competition and interaction, god forbid there is PvP in a genre of game where the absolute most important thing to play with other players

I watched all marvel movies :^)

Higher level expeditions
Higher level gathering materials

There are so many tanks in my FC it's actually ridiculous, like half or more of the people i play with tank and have to play a secondary dps class when we do content

MMOs work fine without PvP, most people who play XIV and WoW do not PvP.

brd has high apm
mch has extremely rigid rotation constraints and pretty high apm
blm has lower apm but requires quite a lot of skill and foresight to play as well as humanly possible

Every class is boring until you reach max level. and most of them are boring even after that. If you want to play something fun I'd suggest Ninja.

how did you assume I was one of them? i'm not

limsa is actually rather civil, it was funded by pirates the same way straya was funded by convicts

boring rotation

BLM is slumber tier until you have blizzard IV, fire IV and eno

How about fuck you fag they're awesome

no, that's when it becomes stressful
and if you want to be stressed, you should play a healer

It takes so long to cast Blizzard III, your MP has been fully restored by the time you've cast it, and can go back to spamming more potent fire again. Casting Blizzard 1 is just a waste of time due to the negligible damage

The beginning of HW is so infuriating (EVERYTHING about the whole Ul'dah debacle) I would have dropped the game had I not just bought a whole fucking expansion, then it's mostly boring until shit hits the fan hard and we get the best story moments at this point of FFXIV.

I don't get who you would start skipping cut-scenes when you still subject yourself to going through the tedious chore quests, but that doesn't make HW kino as a whole.

PvP is a fucking mess right now, it needs to be overhauled and the server tickrate needs to be much higher for it to work correctly

yeah, so? between dots, cards and healing you won't even realize you're missing it

it's a good pace

If you do the quests starting at the gold saucer not long I think. Chocobo racing just requires access to the gold saucer to start the quest chain and nothing more.

I already do, maybe that's why blm is one of the few dps I actually find to be fun

That's a weird goal to aim for

I feel like it could be good if the server tickrate was higher and they tripled the amount of abilities each class had + increased the duration of all CC by a lot + added grievous wounds/healing dampening mechanics + allowed people to crit and block

Buuuut Yoshi-P delivers again, if you get me

If they added more abilities on top of doing that, absolutely, otherwise, while it'd still make sense, it'd feel arbitrary

Everyone says ninja is too stressful to be fun

transpose has a 10 second cooldown, casting blizzard 3 isn't nearly that long, and besides, being in astral ice 3 makes casting fire 3 super fucking fast, so you would do that instead of transposing anyways
so you'd be better off casting thunder for the split second your mana is regen after blizzard 3

Spotted the discordtranny who can't get shit done without their hugbox.

it was unironically better in heavensward, all it needed to be playable was, like you said, healing dampening and better CC

The pvp in XIV is bad, but consider that it's only ever gotten additions and they're never removing it or anything like that

They might as well make it good and worthwhile

I could if my healers would carry my fat ass through aoes

WHM is such a simple job ability-wise that it deserves to have a strong aoe, and it rightfully gets the most satisfying one in the game

SCH is nothing but DoTs, it doesn't really have any aoe that isn't passive anyway.

AST has good card progression so it's okay that it gets it late.

PLEASE RESPOND BEFORE THE THREAD DIES

>If they added more abilities on top of doing that,
well yeah I mean that would kinda be the point wouldn't it?

I'm still sour that Gladiator ended up being a baby Paladin.
It's such a cool job in Final Fantasy that I never, ever would have considered it to be a basic class or to remotely have anything to do with Paladins.

>no, that's when it becomes stressful
why is it stressful, lmao? is it stressful to not be shit at DPS? you could play BLM and play poorly and not be 'stressed', sounds like you already do.

ummm sweaty I'm sorry but Summoner clearly has the most satisfying AoE in the game, not WHM. Who doesn't love blowing shit up with bahamut?

you're fucked, just get through your slog now, you're going to want to be 70 when ShB hits

exdee

that's the point, they just made it worse
surely if they keep throwing shit at a wall something will stick eventually

replaced 'stressed' with 'fun and engaging'

the 13 second time is fun and engaging when coupled with mechanics that force you to move and adapt your rotation that would otherwise be static and boring

Right honestly im a bit of a pvp fag so i'll be happy if SE pulls head out of ass on this

it's sweety, sweety

a fancy beam that does a lot of damage isn't more satisfying than a giant aoe stun with a huge wind-up that makes you feel like a god for properly timing on top of helping your tank mitigate damage

dunno man, I just feel like the timer is really tight for getting off three fire 4s after doing blizzard 4
other dps jobs are capable of just as much dps (inb4 you post a max % chart like that means anything in practice) without as much stress
but maybe my gear just needs more spell speed, I don't know

I'd rather see more fucking store mounts than see PvP get yet another overhaul

lots of pointless filler fetch quests between ARR and HW, starting after the ultima fight until the vishap trial

because the majority of ARR patch content is really fucking monotonous fetch quest bullshit, which Yoshi said he was going to turn into a long ass cutscene (or cutscenes?) so that new players don't have to suffer

new changes would probably be shaving away a bunch of old tedious filler quests in between expansions, but you can't count on it, and you can't wait until ShB actually comes out because you won't be able to start going through it when it's most relevant

I'm just guessing, but you just entered the slog of 2.1-2.4 which is widely regarded as the worst part of the entire game and you're 53 because of exp bonus from low pop server. Just do the slog. Get it over with and get to 70 so you can start collecting genesis.

My sub expired last week and I won't be renewing until I've cleared my backlog. If I were to wait until Shadow, would I be able to skip all that stuff and go straight into Heavensward?

>new players will never get to sniff a chocobo

Listen guys, i really need your advice. I've been playing the game for some time and i really like it.
I like tanking so at first i started as WAR, but later i switch on DRK cause i like it more.
I like his off-gcd abilities and even dark arts, i like how he looks and moves, i like his story, i like his style and other stuff.
So i am really in to DRK, especially if i have to decide between WAR and DRK.

But friends of mine told me that DRK is utterly garbage in dungeons and pretty weak in raids and trials.
They said that if i wanna play as tank then i should forget about DRK and switch on WAR or PLD.
I don't really like WAR, he is too slow for me. Like i don't feel him at all.

The question is - should i forget about DRK and start leveling PLD? Is that true that DRK really soooooo bad in dungeons? Cause friend who told me about bad DRK performance in dungeons playing as healer. He said DRK can't pull more than 1-2 packs, they don't have strong active mitigation and their HP jumping up and down during the battle like on roller coaster.

there is absolutely no way for any of us to predict the future, and even if you actually did get to skip some of it, you'd still be stuck doing 4 year old content when the new expansion hits wishing that you took the time to get just one character to 70 in the 4 months before its release.

Pay up goyim

Go away, ESL.

DRK is fantastic in dungeons and your friend is an idiot. It's not as good as WAR or PLD in a raid environment but it's still perfectly viable and has its niche.

Play whatever you want

I hate to crutch on this like a fag because it doesnt mean anything for 99% of players, but if it makes you feel better, two world firsts were done with DRK while it was at its shittiest

Miasma II has 100 potency on everything around you without any falloff, getting another 100 from the 10 seconds worth of DoT ticks is just a bonus. It's not as strong as Holy but it's faster to cast. Scholar has very competent AoE damage.

drk can get a huge self heal attached to its aoe ability, which it can cast pretty much nonstop because it can get mana refills from extended blood price and quietus, along with blackest night shields
it's honestly the best tank if you want to speedrun dungeons, the only thing it lacks compared to the other tanks is a raidwide shield. it is technically slightly worse than the other tanks because of this, but anyone who makes a big deal out of it is wrong because the power gap is very small

Play what you find the most fun and tell anyone who says otherwise to fuck off. I have all tanks at 70. I also find DRK much more fun than WAR.

Your friends are already giving you shit advice because DRK is hands down the best tank in the game for clearing dungeons. Between quietus/DA+AD/TBN you have a feedback loop that makes you do really good damage and gives you all resources and shields. You're the worst tank for raids, but not by much. You can still clear just as well as the other tanks, albeit with a little more effort. World first was a DRK and when he was pressed for why he chose DRK his answer was "because I like it the most lol".

If WAR bored you, you will find PLD to be even more boring.

Thx guys, then I'll stay with DRK cause i really like him.

Play whatever the fuck you want, man. There's this weird cult among FF14 players where even the shittiest of players have an opinion on what should be brought into the hardest fights the game has, even though it would hardly make a difference what they played if they attempted it. Everything is viable.

>Dungeons: WAR > DRK > PLD
Objectively wrong. DRK remains the best dungeon runner in the game. nobody talks about it just because dungeons are mostly irrelevant sidecontent compared to raids, but it's a fact.

Nah, it used to be in HW when DA abyssal drain could keep you alive by itself but now WAR just melts pulls in seconds with IR decimate

>combine all combos into single buttons that change as you progress through them
>same with skills that proc each other like verthunder/verfire and veraero/verstone
>now they can make classes more interesting at low levels (give them the full combos earlier etc)
>also can add a bunch more skills in the higher level ranges as well
remind me again why they aren't doing this

No, it definitely still is. Most DRKs just don't play their own job right because they pull small when their kit exponentially scales up in efficiency by pull size. I just did a fucking 13 minute run of The Burn and it was only possible because of how fast DRK clears.

>transpose has a 10 second cooldown, casting blizzard 3 isn't nearly that long

First transpose - 2.5sec cd - hit blizzard - 3.5sec - cast - 2.5sec cd = 8.5sec. You have to wait whopping 1.5 seconds more before you can switch element, which isn't exactly a big loss. But you're indeed right that it's better to cast fire 3 then, to get at least some damage in, instead of transposing again.

>tanks, which are already ridiculously easy and basic, would go from 1-2-3 to 1-1-1

I would unsub.

Fuck your ''friends'' play whatever you want. ''Meta'' is a meme that only shitters cling to to hide their incompetency. Everything is viable and plenty world firsts were made with non meta comps.
How many of those ''friends'' of yours actually play a tank? Many dps only faggots will have a stupid opinion on tanks but the moment you say ''well why don't you play a tank then?'' they'll shit their pants because of the ''tank anxiety''. Fuck that noise and just play what you want.

I've played both DRK and WAR as well as PLD for a good chunk of SB, mostly DRK.
DRK might get the edge if everyone is undergeared and packs are taking long enough to clear where other tanks might run out of tp after blowing their load while DRK can keep going, but in any other case WAR pulls ahead easily.

There is literally zero difference between 1-2-3 and 1-1-1 with how combat system designed. So you should unsub now if you feel that way.

Are you dumb? Obviously they replace those lost buttons with new skills. Either additional combos or oGCDs. All it means is that you would get things like royal authority and goring blade combo way earlier and then new skills would come up in their place.

Why do you have to jew me for a separate sub on a throwaway ARR account if I want to trade my shit to the alt reee

>tfw I always liked GoldenTot’s videos
>tfw he turns out to be an ugly goblin irl

>if everyone is undergeared and packs are taking long enough to clear
In 70 dungeons, everything melts and you practically get more meter than you can spend between blood price, salted and TBN. I'm telling you nothing is faster than DRK for speed clearing.

I have all tanks at 70. For clearing as fast as possible it's definitely DRK >> WAR >>>>>>> PLD. For slow leveling progression it's probably more like PLD > WAR > DRK.

Same desu. I did not need to see that.

And I'm telling you you're wrong. It's specifically because 70 dungeons hit like wet noodles and melt fast that WAR pulls ahead, you don't need the long term resources and survivability DRK brings. You just pull wall to wall, pop IR and shit dies in 3 decimates while DRK is fiddling around with quietus and TBN.

Link please

Tot is one of those people I like because he’s a decent player and actually knows a lot of lore about FFXIV. But he’s just so god damn ugly that I can’t stand his face.

I don't care that he's ugly, I just find him so fucking grating and obnoxious.
Him and that other retard larryzaur or whatever his name is.

At least Tot knows his shit which is a decent thing. Larry is a parody and a bad one at that, only making low effort content.

its weird how raidtranny is just Yea Forums-speak for "elitist". if somebody is complaining about raidtrannies its almost always some greylet shitter who needs to justify their shit parses with "nuh huh everybody who does good dps is an autistic tranny". sad.

>he doesn't weave each card action between a malefic

>you just pull wall to wall
yeah, you do that with DRK too and your gauge will fill to 50 in like 3 seconds when TBN pops then again two more times every 5ish seconds between price and earth. But while you're stuck behind a 90 second recast, price and weapon are like half of that and TBN, which builds an instant 50 meter, is up every 15.

>that obnoxious fuck Larry has that cute behemoth WAR tanking for him
it's not fair, bros

Yeah, don't really get the raidtranny meme when trannies are trash at the game and too busy sucking eachother's virtual futa cocks in ERP to bother parsing higher than grey.

If you're talking elitist, lalanigger is a more appropriate term.

there's a small number of higher end players who are either trannies or effeminate gays. this has whipped all the Yea Forums shitters into a frenzy of justifying their own badness with "see? only fags are good at the game!!"

trannies (Read: Straight males that play female characters and make Yea Forums seethe) are the best and highest parsing players in XIV.

I mean you can keep arguing about it or you can just check fflogs and see for yourself if you don't trust my experience.
The highest parsing tank is nearly 1k dps ahead of the highest parsing DRK, and there's 3 more WARs ahead of the first DRK that shows up on the ladder.

No, that would be normal people with jobs that take time off to pursue world firsts.

They spin around when they jump too. Too bad the class isn't fun to play at higher levels.

I wanted to go dragoon but apparently I have to unlock it, feelsbadman. Any user who wants to giveaway their free month from twitch prime?

Normal people play female characters. Ever notice how world firsts are almost always filled with female characters with lalafells, miqote, and au ra. Hmm.............................

base classes convert into their respective jobs at 30

There's no correlation there.

>there are more male lalafell clears than female miqo'te or au'ra clears proportionally

There's plenty of trannies playing this game, from quiet types that keep to themselves to raging attention whore faggots, but because they're so numerous, they occupy all levels of play, you're guaranteed to find some high and up in casual field as well. Continuing to screech "trannies trannies" is just inefficient. What would be efficient is rope.

>the raidtranny meme is a smokescreen for the (((lalafells)))
the day of the masher can't come soon enough

That statistic was taken after UWU was added. A piss easy ultimate in comparison to Ucob. If you noticed, all the male character percentages spiked up ONLY AFTER UWU.

>it's boring until you have two more buttons to press!
What a load of bloody toss. The gameplay does not change siginifcantly from the time you access your first dungeon to 'endgame'.

>i like his story, i like his style and other stuff
you talk like the biggest retard I have ever seen

>Too bad the class isn't fun to play at higher levels.
Wrong, it's fun until 70 when you get the fucking awful TCJ

>hit 70
>WAR now has Inner Release
>entire way to play changes instantly
yeah thats a no.

Like yeah its still an MMO it doesn't suddenly become a touhou game but a ton of classes hit a certain level then dramatically change.

>being this desperate to justify playing a female character when literally nobody fucking cares what the gender or race of your character is as long as you're competent
Who's coping here? Is it me or is it you? Here's a clue: it ain't me.
You can cite statistics about clears and link them to character races/genders all day and night, but it doesn't matter. Races and genders in XIV are 100% aesthetic, they literally do not matter. There has never been any correlation between the skill level of a given player and their choice of race, gender or outfits. Ever.

Sounds like you're in denial famalam. Maybe next year you will clear an ultimate unsynched with the rest of your male buddies.

Denial of what? I already have Ultimate clears.

If you're that afraid of being gangraped in a party with male characters just fucking say so, christ.

>Trying to impress anyone on an indian basket weaving forum with fabricated truths
yikes.

>user makes an assertion that I don't have Ultimate clears
>reply that I do
>this is somehow trying to impress people
If I were trying to impress people I would've (falsely) claimed that I'd cleared within the first two weeks, which I didn't.
Keep trying to cope, man. If you're that desperate to justify your choices then there's clearly some issues below the surface that you should address.

why is this game so popular among far left progressive types? noticed a lot of the most obnoxious game journalists play it

that's just wrong

>feelsbadman
Leave this board and never return.

Most of it doesn't require any effort to play and feel good.

This is why they have been pandering to far left nonsense, they changed the tos lately on banning and it literally reads like a kotaku article

prove your clear, go on your character with weapon in tow and type in chat box. I do not for a second believe anyone on Yea Forums cleared even the easy ultimate

Does she start giving more/less sand after a certain point or do different weapons require different amounts of sand? I've always gotten 3 treated sands per crystal/umbrite combo.

it's just saying that now the bosses are allowing to be more proactive about these too

Final Fantasy is THE handsome bishie boys series, they love that shit.

I'm unsubbed but I've harrassed you in public once or twice when I was a lalafell.

Oh, okay. You're not missing out on anything exciting anyway.

The good part is the game gets more coverage in the media, the bad news is they crackdown on things they don't like going forward and the developers listen to them
