Do you play Final Fantasy XIV? Are you ready for Shadowbringers...
>final fantasy
more like faggot degeneracy lol fuckin fag
I've been playing a male Roe since 1.0 and will continue to do so.
Someone needs to counterbalance the homos and futas that have flooded this race en masse.
Yes I do, and I...
I-! *breathes in*
I en-enjoy it! A lot! *breathes out peacefully*
What if the rumored Hrothgar races turns out to be real and turns to be bara lion men? Would you still stick with roe?
Probably, since I doubt they'd be larger than Roe. I just like to play the biggest race.
Bunnygirl. C@s are overrated.
>that last thread
Jesus Christ. Yea Forums threads are now qualitatively worse than /vg/ threads.
I paid a years worth of subscription for nothing because I couldn't run the game at end game content.
Seriously, it ran fine on all other fights but once you got to the over the top flashy shit, I just had like 10 fps.
I'm still salty and I'm never paying for another subscription again because of it.
Atleast, not until an mmo exists that introduces a system that's fair towards people who don't necessarily play daily / take long breaks.
Like, for example, a system where you pay for hours/days PLAYED not entire months at a time..
It's not like I can't afford it, I just have my principles. (though it's mostly just my anger for having paid for nothing)
Why not just upgrade your PC?
>staying as catgirl
>playing cats in the first place
What happened? Were people talking about lore?
What happened in the previous thread?
>No option to not run like a nerd as a NIN
>My face
Gimme my ROG stance back.
Give me shota bunny boys or give me death!
I had other plans at the time (car)
Upgraded my PC the next year, hilariously enough just when the subscription ended
I'm gonna stay catgirl
I just got into FFXIV and the Roe's are the only ones with anything close to proper beards. Dafuq?
I'm not a faggot that plays either and definitely not lizard either
No one ever talks about how the Viera will be voice acted.
I feel like the English are going to take from Fran's XII voice.
>all the same fucking face
FF14 looks pretty and I like the girls and characters but character creation is so limited, when the fuck will they improve it
Alright folks. It's time to finally decide.
strawpoll.me
Which race is the faggiest?
Didnt Yoshi said something that they were improving character creation in Niggerbringers?
Also they should invest in a more advanced character creation tool, I know a fuckton of people that waste horrible amounts of money on fantasia because they got tired of their looks.
Is there VR support yet?
Now that I've seen the buns when I resub I'll probably stay as a lalafell a bit and then finally just go to a probably short hyur midlander, maybe highlander for bigger boobs if i can get the face how i like it
Why should the world care that you were too stupid to research what you were buying? The cheapest sub cost is a monthly fee and you could have easily seen if the game was worth spending 12 months up front in monthly fees leading up to that. If you went full on into 12 months prepaid before seeing if you'll actually want to play for more than a couple of months you can't be angry at the system. You need to accept you fucked up and stop whining.
You also sound like someone who doesn't try to make the most of your shit PC situation by turning off the flashy stuff for end game content so it plays as well as everything else. 4 more people making animations can't be so bad that turning the effects down couldn't compensate, or for 24-person content turning them off outright would have made it work to still get something out of the money you spent.
tl;dr retard doesn't want to admit they're a retard and blame a shit game for their inability to think.
I just checked, the last 2 threads got archived because no one was posting, fuck off false flagger
It's why I'd rather they just work on more character creation options instead of adding another race.

Lancer was a mistake.
Sub level 50 skillsets for literally every class are a mistake
I do accept I fucked up, and I wasn't telling anyone should care.
Stop projecting.
My opinion now is just that I won't pay for subs precisely because I learned my lesson.
There aren't many games worth playing for an entire month at a time, so a big portion of a month's subscription would end up being wasted regardless.
Well, atleast for normie or working class customers who aren't absolute nolife autists or people who have all the time in the world and patience for grinding
>it's just a skill to pull enemies
What?
Are you talking of Piercing Talon?
Because that's just a ranged attack.
But if you're talking of the actual "Jump" skill (ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com
>>it's just a skill to pull enemies
?
You use that shit whenever it's up to do more damage
I play male-roe and that depends entirely on how far the Hrothgar go with the animalistic features, and if they'll have better face options than male roegadyn. Otherwise I'll stick with my Hellsguard and pray some day Squeenix puts in an Othardian roegadyn option so I can just be a big human.
People keep telling me the story is good, but I'm like 30 levels in and the main story is extremely dull.
Do the expansions add an actual interesting story or is it just more of the same?
>tfw there'll never be an Ultimate fight for Gordias/Midas content sincethey were pretty much Ultimate difficulty as it is
Brother, are you literally me?
I think Pepsi man gave me PTSD.
The overall story is dynamite but ARR is unfortunately rather dull on the whole; it picks up in terms of story immediately after the Ultima Weapon at lv. 50, which marks the end of base ARR. Heavensward is regarded as the greatest of the current three expansions in terms of story, Stormblood is lower on the totem pole but still higher than ARR. and is leading up to something that looks like it'll be just as good as HW.
That depends on if you enjoy artifacts and other job-themed glamours and, when the opportunity presents itself, "no way fag"ing bara roleplayers
why couldn't i be born a girl
The only ptsd part I had with the fight that wasn't the initial learning hurdle of overcoming hand of pain's DPS check was the absurd server tic rate on tether pass-offs.

Why do people try to wash their hands after the fact with this dumb line? You were blogging in the open and never once admitted to accepting fault. You were just trying to rationalize to the thread in general that the subscription model is bad because you couldn't make good choices given the options. That's not me projecting, that's me shoving your face in your own words.
The lesson you learned is also short sighted. The sub fee is priced the way it is because they need to make so much to keep the game profitable. They know for a fact a lot of people aren't playing 24/7 for a month, but it's the happy medium that people who play a little less subsidize the lifers. It's one reason the people who played 1.0 get a small discount, etc. Having game time on a daily/hourly basis would just inflate costs all around and make the whole system break down. Just because you think you're losing value for not playing constantly when most people in general don't already.

also no I haven't played ff14 in a few months. It got old not being able to do anything besides play one or two days a week. I'm not feeling that urge I felt around the stormblood release.
>The sub fee is priced the way it is because they need to make so much to keep the game profitable
>Having game time on a daily/hourly basis would just inflate costs all around and make the whole system break down
That's bullshit, people used the same argument with WoW and it's never been true
The profit they make is absolutely ridiculous, and it's definitely not justifiable with "muh server costs!"
you have games like Guild Wars that have been around for several years, being really profitable without ever needing subscriptions.
And guess what? both wow AND ffxiv have in game cash shops, so it's nothing but pure greed.
You're literally defending paying for a game several times despite owning it, take that for what you will and call me whatever you fucking want but it doesn't make you right.
A simple cosmetic shop is literally all an MMO needs in order to stay afloat
That's how MMO girls act user. Wait until you see female FC drama in full force.
Do the rest of us a favor and off yourself before you pollute high level queues with your stupidity
imagine the smell
I want to play the game but I can justify spending all that money just to try it and with the starter edition you are missing out on most of the content
>GW2 just fired 1000 people
How's that F2P model coming along
Bunnies are taking over, catcuck
Pretty well, they need 100 less people to sustain it and develop new content.
Whats wrong with being a catgirl if you're just honest about it, I like my cute waifu character I'm not a girl, or a guy that wants to be a girl, or looking for handouts, I literally just like catgirls. It seems worse to play a female Hyur or Elf, and I'm sure female Roe don't exist.
You're still a faggot anyway, but at least you're honest about it.
Garlemald is full of VII references. Dalamud is even a reference to Meteor, and Nael did the Sephiroth walking away from fire thing in 1.x.
free trial up to lvl 30
I bet it smells like wet pussy
It's almost as if they could sustain it if they had a stable subscription model.

It IS sustainable.
Having unnecessary bloat and tons of people on board when you're not actively developing an expansion is fucking retarded.
>We will finally be free from hrothgar/male buns and so on fags.
They fired them user, not that their contracts are up.
Cats kill faggitrabbits, fact.
How is that lack of constant new content going for you. A team constantly works to improve the game. You'd rather an expansion stagnate. Faggot.
>people should be constantly making content for me for free
There is a reason this board is 18+. If you are unable to comprehend simple economics and how it takes effort and money to produce a product, then you need to leave.
Last time I checked, you had to spend an obscene amount of money to unlock content that you missed in GW2. Being able to just spend $13 to be able to play all of the content that's been released so far for a month is much more preferable in my opinion. The fact that FF14's content and story isn't complete fucking garbage like GW2's is also a nice bonus.
The irony, holy shit
You're going to believe some clickbait shit on that? How about the 400 employees that got fired from eidetic last week? Guess days gone is fucked, not like it's close to being done or anything, it's totally doomed, ruined forever.

> bunnygirl
God, this is so bad. Much worse than WoWs new races.
Because WoW is doing pretty fucking well and show us TWO cool new races, that forced SE to do this ugly male power fantasy shit.
WoW's new races looks cool, have some lingering story background and deep lore, we already saw their society and know how do they live.
While XIV's new race just... an out of season april fools joke.
Garlemald is like a fusion of VI and VII tech. Leaning heavier to VI in aesthetics but still has things like Guard Scorpion and the Ultima Weapon.
Allag is more like III + XIII, they're the ones that always get stuff like the Dreadnought.
They keep all the different tech looks pretty consistent for their origins in XIV, so if we ever get the rest of the Weapon battles from VII, I imagine they'll be associated with Garlemald.
Seething.
GW2 is a dogshit game with low quality, sparse content. It's not even on the same level as fucking Blade and Soul, much less WoW or FF. Go back to playing your low quality faggot bargain bin game.
>defensive
no i'm correcting your faggot ass from spreading misinformation. guild wars 2 is dead as shit, but it's not because they let go staff that weren't fucking doing anything.
Did you think arenanet was dying when they fired those two retards who were shittalking their fans last year? No, people are expendable.

>Being able to just spend $13 to be able to play all of the content that's been released so far for a month is much more preferable in my opinion
you say that, while simultaneously you pay $20-40 for mediocre expansions.

I don't play WoW, I'm genuinely curious, what makes kul tiran humans different from regular ass humans, besides the hats.

My problem with Viera is that they are incredibly safe and do nothing interesting. For one, why would you have a bunny girl that doesn't have a tail? That's obvious. 2, they don't have the same feet/claws they have in previous iterations because it isn't "cute"

Oh I get it now
That's dipshit theory for literal retards.
You're missing the point of a sub fee and an economic model based on base profits required. Subscription fees exist to guarantee a fixed income for a game to pay developer salaries and ensure stock holders get dividends that make them happy to keep their money invested in the company.
You're being childish about the whole situation because you made a massive fuck up by paying too much up front and think it's antiquated. I won't deny that it would be nice if there was no subscription fee, but at least I understand why it exists in the first place. I also will admit that the cash shop is one reason I don't play this game anymore because the above reasons for 14 in particular are skewed out of the player's benefit. But that's not going to magically make your attempt to reason out why you fucked up any less retarded than it was.
Smaller play time subs absolutely would skew the whole system if you allowed people to pay for only a single day at a time, or set hourly rates. Not only would these subscription rates be higher than just paying monthly in the long run to make the mass of smaller transactions worth the added administration headaches, but you would almost certainly also twist the community into some insane min/maxing weirdos about game time on top of stats.
And about F2P games. They float by on the exact same point of a standard monthly sub fee. Whales subsidize the people who pay little into the system. It's just a lot more lopsided. And that just means the people who pay more get their voice on the game's direction given more weight because they actually pay. It rarely pans out well in the long run, if the game even stays profitable in the long run.
I don't think we're actually going to "Garlemald" in 5.0.
what the fuck is this post
hope they ban everyone who bought mog station codes from asshats who use stolen credit cards

Them throwing the WEAPONs at us in Shadowbringers would be amazing.
I think at the absolute most we might get a dungeon at the end of the story, but then there'd have to be another stronghold for the Ascians for 6.0. (Imagine using Garlemald city as the hub city for 2021's expansion)
Yoshi-P's said the game can go as long as it holds up, but I know 6.0 was as far as he planned out to wrap up the whole Ascian deal, so I dunno who'd be the BIG BAD for 7.0+
fuck off cat scum

The thing is that you really can forget about meta only when you are playing with full stack of friends who agreed to play with your non-meta job.
If you are use DF or PF, or even chat, then when you play on non-meta job t is DISRESPECT to others.
For example, we all know that WAR is MUCH better as tank than DRK in every way. In terms of damage and mitigation for example.
So if you go somewhere with random people and you chose DRK as your tank, then it is DISRESPECT to others because you lower chances to success and even if you succeed it will take much more time.
Meta exists for random groups because it is the mos effective to play the game. If you don't play meta with strangers, then you really show them how you give zero fucks about their time, life and feelings. And that is toxic behavior.
Do you drive to work in the morning? Or do you run a mile, catch 2 buses and then grab a cab even though you have a functioning vehicle?
People do things in general because it's easier to do them. If you are trying to do something that is not that simple, why on earth would you make something more difficult for not only yourself or others? It is pure toxicity and should be punished.
You can't bring bunk players with bunk builds and expect good things to happen, I'm sorry that's just not how it works. People are not going to be happy if they are failing because one player has specifically decided to not do their best.
If you want to run content with off meta builds then you need to ask your friends and play exclusively with them. It's that simple.
Because nobody wants to tolerate toxicity from others. And playing off meta IS toxicity.
Diamond too. Could make it a trial, keep the idea of it slowly approaching some very important place, like Steps of Faith did.

I can see the Sharlayans being the next place we go to after Garlemald is done. We know that the Bibliothecs are isolationists and are willing to kill other Sharlayans if they decide to teach outsiders. They know a lot of the worlds history and I can see their leader being manipulated by the Ascien
>Do you play Final Fantasy XIV?
Not at the moment. I quit back at 4.1 because they ruined my favorite class beyond dumpster tier and I just got bored.
>Are you ready for Shadowbringers?
Considering I haven't played since 4.1, probably not.
>Are you going to change to bunnygirl or are you staying as catgirl?
I started as a cat back in 2.0, changed to a Highlander once I entered an 8 man Moogle Mog with literally nothing but catgirls. I will be changing to a Viera to satisfy my Tactics nostalga though.
All in all I'll probably re-sup in april.
Tranny.
>I won't deny that it would be nice if there was no subscription fee, but at least I understand why it exists in the first place
that's exactly my point, though.
If they had just one monetization method, it would be understandable, but it isn't
There's the purchase fee of the game, then there's the subscription (in order to play a game you fucking paid for), then there's the cash shop, AND THEN even expansions
a single average customer can easily end up paying anywhere from $60-1000+
Regardless of them being a whale or not isn't an issue, because the entire purpose of this argument was about it being profitable or not.
As it stands, it's VERY profitable and way too unjust towards former players/subscribers.
This doesn't even have anything to do with my situation, it's simply pure criticism against MMO's that use every method imaginable in order to rake in mad cash
I've been expecting Sharlaya for quite some time now.

If MMOs were profitable then companies would be making them and the genre wouldn't be dead, that's how markets work. MMOs are high risk, medium-low return investments, at least in the west. MMOs as they traditionally have existed are all but dead; there's not really any way to make them work consistently from a business perspective.
This copypasta again? Look, are you a employee of Blizzard Entertainment that's trying to win back subscribers by kissing ass?

You're not making a solid/clear point. First you complain that you spent too much on sub fees because the game couldn't run well at end game and you regret paying so much up front and then washed your hands of it instead of making the most of it. Claiming this isn't a part of your point now is ignoring the fact it is still influencing your opinion in a strong way.
Next you're claiming that the subscription model in general is a bad model because if you pay for the base game and expansions you should be free to play the game as is without paying extra just to access it. But the game is designed and marketed to the consumer and stockholders as a constant service. You pay the fees monthly to cover the day-to-day of developing patches, keeping support working, ensuring the game doesn't crash, marketing, and paying to shareholders so the company keeps happy. The cost of the game and expansions are for the fact they are physical discs (just because digital exists doesn't make the demand for parity across pricing magically stop existing), PS licensing fees, and the extra development time for new maps, jobs, balancing because of a new combat system every expansion, etc.
Your case has some merit when you add in the cash shop, but you never claimed to pay into that. Just that it somehow adds to your disdain of sub fees. One could argue it helps further subsidize the game like a F2P model to keep sub fees down over inflation, but I'm more cynical so I know it's SE just being greedy. Hell, they still have a bare minimum dev crew and claim it's very profitable, so again, that's one reason I quit. Shareholders came before the subscribers.
One thing 14 has over a pure F2P model is that subs still matter. Each person pays monthly, so they don't get massively drowned out by people buying cosmetics. It keeps the development focused on all types of players, which is the benefit to the model.
Honestly, 14 is shit because it abuses its players AND devs, not the fees.
The world needs more giraffes.
Yo Teddy's armor I'm pretty sure is the inspiration for the emperor's armor in FFXIV. When can we get that shit and dye it blue?
Also speaking of Zeromus and the fucking moon, can everyone please go back and watch that cutscene of Elidibus on the surface of Zodiark with Arbert. I swear that broken structure visible for a split second in the background is a crumbling statue of Zeromus.

about to reach elemental level 35, but i still have ages to go until i can finish my relic and be done with pagos
hell i have to go back to anmoes as well cause i want that dino mount which i didnt get after 1600 lockboxes
is the area after pagos easier/faster if i just want to do my relic?
Not me, I don't want to be a woman.
There's that one Elezen work that looks like a damn painting. Wish I knew where that thing was.
Wanting to be a girl =/= thinking you're a girl in a man's body.
No really, why did people complain about this mechanic? Isn't it just a glorified "left is safe/right is safe"? Isn't this the sort of shit you see once and immediately know how to deal with?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

shut the fuck up
you clearly have no arguments.
The only reason MMO:s are dying is because nobody fucking makes them when the market is oversaturated.
In that sense, you are correct to say that they are a "high risk" investment - but it all just boils down to every new game being a shitty cash grab rather than a real attempt at competing in the market.
Koreans keep shitting out mediocre MMO games all the time and they practically always make more money than what it cost to make them despite most failing in a year.
The problem here is that the rare people with money and skill to make decent MMO:s don't exist or simply don't want to commit in to making a big project (for several years, even after launch).
I never complained that "I spend too much", in fact, I even said I can afford it just fine.
My entire posts were only to say that the system is shit because you potentially pay for time you might not use. Sure, that's a personal problem but nobody here can say that they've never taken breaks from a game during their subscription.
I would have NO problem paying for a "month" of gameplay, if it was literally a month's worth of time.
Hell, if that was the case, I wouldn't even care if the game had expansions and cash shops, because that's still a thousand times more fair since it doesn't stress anyone to force themselves to play the game until they're burned out.
You absolutely can not convince me that a subscription in it's current form is acceptable, especially in a game that has all shapes of monetization that they can have.
Say what you want about "shareholders first"
but a game that shits on it's customers is garbage, no matter how succesful it is.
Also, any dev that listens to whales first, will quickly find it's playerbase dry - so you'd be an idiot to think any smart dev would revolve their game around just trying to appeal to below 10% of users

BA is leagues easier than even the easiest savage content. AV has like 3 mechanics. Ozma is basically the same as regular Ozma except his shades make you react to their form and then his form. But people still manage to wipe with meteors and acceleration bomb.
The average complaining player probably never raided prior to 4.X and aren't used to "VFX fucking everywhere" mechanics.

>The only reason MMO:s are dying is because nobody fucking makes them when the market is oversaturated.
This makes no sense; the market is clearly not oversaturated as there are only like 4 MMOs that are still alive at this point. Now would be the ideal time to capitalize on the market if the traditional MMO model was good business sense, but it clearly isn't; the only MMOs in the pipeline are niche crowdfunded titles that probably won't be sustainable.
>but it all just boils down to every new game being a shitty cash grab rather than a real attempt at competing in the market.
People made real attempts to compete in the market from the mid 00's to the early 10's and most of them crashed and burned. The bar is really high for MMOs and you're dealing with a consumer base that is already heavily invested in whatever games they're already playing. Success with MMOs is hard to attain and the reward is mediocre compared to other games, especially in the current video game market as a whole.
>Koreans keep shitting out mediocre MMO games all the time...
This is why I qualified my statement with "at least in the west". That shit doesn't fly in the west and I imagine the bubble is about to burst in east Asia, especially considering the current state of Nexon and other Korean MMO publishers.
>The problem here is that the rare people with money and skill to make decent MMO:s don't exist or simply don't want to commit in to making a big project
Yes, this is a market problem as I pointed out; the market cannot sustain many traditional MMOs because it's not a very profitable or sustainable business model no matter how you try to run it. If MMOs were as profitable and greedy as you seem to think they are then people with the skill, money, and commitment to make them would be more readily available.
Uhh how exactly is FF14's expansion model suppose to be after this next one? At what point does everything become bloated with so many classes needing to be taken care of while trying to make a new class with new skills? Don't they still add new skills to existing classes as well?
Oh, they don't normally?
You said you couldn't afford to upgrade your PC to make the game playable and instead focused the money on your car and that was your big excuse for why the year up front sub fee went to waste. If your budget was that tight and priorities were that focused it's pretty clear your intent was you spent too much on something you never used.
Let me simplify that further for you. You paid money for something you didn't use and complained you paid for it. You're just trying to tone down the whining you opened with to make you seem more reasonable. You're no longer owning up to your fuck up that you seemed to claim to own up to earlier. Make up your mind.
>I would have NO problem paying for a "month" of gameplay, if it was literally a month's worth of time.
So a sub fee is fine, but only if you think you get enough value from it. I assume this means you can no-life and play 24/7. You're missing the point of the game. This isn't prime 11. You don't need to play the game constantly to still get everything from it. The game is so casual I could catch up on past patches on free play weekends without even committing the whole weekend to the game.
Somehow this would make your other complaints no longer valid too? Make up your mind. If you're bitching about a bad monetary model then stick with it. Don't flip flop.
>You absolutely can not convince me that a subscription in it's current form is acceptable
I just want you to accept you're a retard who spent a lot of money and still can't cope with the mistake. This is less and less about a bad monetary model and just an attempt at making an excuse for your mistake.
Your last points there come across like you didn't even read my posts. I already said 14 is garbage because SE focuses on shareholders first. The dev team needs more people, and can afford it, but SE likes money more. The whole point was a misplaced priority. But that's not the fault of sub fees. That's upper management abusing gullible retards.
That just means you're a bear for the male lalas that flock to you.
You did not remotely imply you aren't gay.
if they follow the stormblood model, they'll cut some skills and mix in some traits
they're committed to keeping the game playable on controllers, which means there's a limit to how many skills you can reasonably have
This is Yoshi's last expansion so I imagine the game will go into maximize profits/minimize costs mode like XI did and there wont be that much new content after ShB finishes.
>hard dungeon
Nigger it's literally just a 24-man fight that you can't raise except through RNG. It's not remotely hard by any measure, just extremely tedious
Source: your ass
It's been stated in multiple interviews at this point that Yoshi doesn't want to run XIV anymore and that he's going to hand off the director and/or producer roles to other people after he finishes ShB. He's on the SQEX board of directors now too, so he's effectively doing three jobs; there's no way that's going to continue indefinitely.
>this means the game will die
that's right
My brother
I'm there with you. Been playing a pure Male Roe WAR. I might switch to GUN for Shadowbringers after I do the WAR quests but it's been interesting to see the influx of ERPers and the lack of just straight MMO players
I never said that, I said it would go into maximize profits/minimize costs mode like XI did; XI is still very much alive and XIV could be to if they design content well
>all these catgirl haters
>implying they wouldn't fug these catgirls if they had teh chance
Not those anons, but be honest with the situation for a moment. Each expansion brings less content and more basic fixes to just keep the games running. It works because multiple people wear multiple hats. If they don't add more people, and instead trade off hats on someone else the situation doesn't get better. It just keeps slipping down the same slope.
The game is very likely to undergo changes to allow the current team to ease back even more if the bosses do that themselves. Just like 11 changed its focus to allow a skeleton crew to keep it running.

only 4 very succesful ones, moron
Ther smaller ones are doing fine, but naturally less players means less server costs but also less revenue
Still doesn't make them unprofitable
Even a small business can be succesful, it only depends on costs vs profit ratio
>This is why I qualified my statement with "at least in the west"
yeah, funny how korean MMO's still make decent profit in the west, huh?
>because it's not a very profitable or sustainable business model no matter how you try to run it
it is profitable and sustainable, but, like I said, the devs don't want to commit.
As long as your game isn't shit, all a dev has to do is create seasonal events and the occasional update. that's practically all the commitment it takes to keep in a consistent playerbase. They don't do it because they need to have a proper game as a foundation first.
Hell, it doesn't even have to be proper, because even garbage like ms2 or runescape can still make more money than it's upkeep.
>You said you couldn't afford to upgrade your PC
I didn't say I couldn't afford it, I said I got something else instead.
You think you can just keep redirecting the conversation to my circumstances and ignore the entire purpose of my rant every singe time, huh?
>I assume this means you can no-life and play 24/7.
no, it means a sub fee is fine if it's user-friendly.
once again, nothing to do with me, but the system being shit. My choices only made me realize it.
>missing the point
ironic, coming from the guy who proceeds to say the sub is ok because the game is so casual that you don't need too work to catch up.
I already accepted my mistake you imbecil, it was literally my frist response to you.
What I'm on about here is just the fact that paying for months is a moronic practice when the amount of value someone gets from it depends completely on their free time and situation.
Try to tell me why my idea is bad instead next.

>Each expansion brings less content
No, it doesn't, where are you getting that? It has three fewer dungeons, two fewer if you feel like counting Baldesion Arsenal, but has Ultimate fights as a resource drain. It has a full alliance-raid, 8-man three-tier raid, MSQ, sidequests, three beast tribes, and balances to all classes and jobs (for the worse with several). BLU had as much work put into it as a full job (there are already two more expansions' worth of skills sketched out and being developed), even if you don't care for it, so we got three jobs. We've got as much to it as we do Heavensward. Why's it cool to say it has less content when that's not the case?
>I still have to pay by month
FUCK OFF NIGGER GOOK!
God, now i want my money back for-preorder.

>hey guys this totally isn't me in the file name lol
how stupid do you think we are, this is insulting
1 very successful one that sustains itself off of it's huge userbase's massive sunk-costs and is slowly hemorrhaging players, and 3 moderately successful ones, one of which might be on it's way out, and another of which will probably be entering maintenance mode after its next expansion has run its course.
My point isn't that MMOs aren't unprofitable, it's that they aren't as profitable and safe as other games that a publisher could invest in. Opportunity cost is a thing that exists. MMOs as a business model are way too expensive and risky to be a "small business" undertaking.
>yeah, funny how korean MMO's still make decent profit in the west, huh?
Making a "decent profit" off of a small, shrinking market base is not a sustainable business model.
>it is profitable and sustainable, but, like I said, the devs don't want to commit.
If MMOs were profitable and sustainable competitively with other types of video games, then devs and publishers would want to commit, that's how a market works. You seem to be severely underestimating how big of an undertaking developing and sustaining an MMO is compared to other types of games.
you are literally the only person itt that cares about this

Incredibly stupid. It feels insulting for me because I actually play the tranny race.
Do you even have a point? You can keep saying something to deflect every post, but you're just going in circles. Pretending your finances were so good you could have upgraded your PC, something you seemingly intended to do anyway, but waited until your sub expired just further exemplifies your position about fees is because you're bad with money and not the models themselves.
If you haven't caught on yet, the reason I keep replying is because you're a retard with money and won't admit it. You know, the purpose of your rant in the first place. You haven't made any point to counter that and your attempts to redirect just reinforce that original point.
>no, it means a sub fee is fine if it's user-friendly.
Which is arbitrary to you, but tainted by a bad experience that was wholly your own fault. You can pretend it doesn't influence your opinion, but it does. You never make a case what would constitute being fair outside of your early attempt at claiming a smaller sub time would be beneficial. But as noted earlier would be even less consumer-friendly.
>the sub is ok because the game is so casual that you don't need too work to catch up.
Never claimed that. It's fine because the model works to keep the game acceptably profitable without creating a rift in the player base. The fact the game is so casual friendly is just an effect of modern game design attitudes.
>I already accepted my mistake you imbecil, it was literally my frist response to you.
But yet you pretend it isn't a major reason you dislike the subscription model. You can claim you admit it, but everything else you say denies your honesty.
>What I'm on about here is just the fact that paying for months is a moronic practice when the amount of value someone gets from it depends completely on their free time and situation.
>Try to tell me why my idea is bad instead next.
I did earlier, as noted in this post again, about your inane idea of smaller sub fees.
i'm bored and shitposting waiting for gathering nodes to pop, i'll cease my tomfoolery i guess

>I did earlier,

All you did was pretend they need all profitto go on, as if subscriptions are somehow a must have lifeline for an mmo. Even while I continuously BTFO your stupid reasoning, you never gave me one back.
Congratulations, you actually manage to tire me enough to leave you with this shit because you clearly can't talk back without resorting to parroting the same "poor retard admit mistake" in every one of your shitposts.
I hope you write a massive, detailed come back where you actually finally have a point,
because I won't be around to read it since you lost your chance to prove my idea bad in any way.

There's no irony. I keep on point and even address your deflections while emphasizing the point. If you're too retarded to understand this you might have more problems than just monetary issues.
>no you fucking didn't
Re-read this post. tl;dr: Your suggestion of smaller subscription times would cost more to the consumer.
Additionally, it creates a more volatile income stream that can more easily dip below required profit projections that a monthly sub avoids. You know, the main reason F2P games are so shaky.
You have not once "BTFO" my arguments, let alone anyone else replying to you. If you think you have that's cute, but just proves how little you know about money. Which seems to, once again, prove that you're a retard who can't come to terms with your original purchase.
Thanks for being at least semi-entertaining by seemingly taking the money angle so personally. Really helped sell it.

>All of the points you listed are also in HW.
Excellent shift of goalposts; the original statement was "each expansion brings less content" which is not true, Heavensward brought less content compared to ARR in terms of the sheer amount of dungeons but kept all other parities and offered Diadem. ARR has a grand amount of endgame dungeons and Hard dungeons (31 dungeons compared to HW's total 18 and SB's 15, 16 w/ BA) and two more beast-tribes, but otherwise has the same standard of content as Heavensward and Stormblood. Being a smug faggot on the internet only works when you're correct, user.

DRK or WAR as first tank? Who is more versatile?
DRK is patrician, WAR is unga
WAR will get you accustomed to tanking more easily, but it starts out a bit squishy at the beginning compared to GLD on account of not having a shield. If you're transitioning from a DPS job then WAR is the one you want. DRK takes some more fiddling around than the other two tanks and its kit isn't complete until 70, but can do the job just as well. Ultimately your choice of tank comes down to sheer preference, go DRK if you want AoE capability and spells, go WAR if you want to pretend you're a DPS (but for God's sake learn your defensive options and use them), go PLD if you want to have the most defensive utility and forever be the off-tank.

I can only see this as a good thing. Thank fucking god, i constantly bitch to my friends how Yoshi is a lazy, shiteating, plastic rice selling gook

>YOU GUYS ARE PEDOS FOR NOT LIKING THIS
lmao what a fucking loser
Yeah that's good to keep in mind too, if you want damage then WAR really won't get you that far ahead. I recommend it as a DPS transitional job primarily because it functions the closest to one of the actual melee DPS jobs on account of the self-buff and burst damage.
Okay. Ordered the collector's edition. Got the steam version though because of a mistake I made that I regret. When I enter the pre-order code, it works, but I didn't confirm. The collector's code doesn't work though. Do I need to put the collector's code in, and it's messing up, or do I like put in the regular one then the collector's?
I am staying as a snow pale lizard girl.
>unironically posting on reddit
>unironically posting somewhere that your post history can be constantly used against you
That guy was just asking for it, even if the art is okay.
WAR's more intuitive, especially earlier on, as well as being simpler. You really just need to watch your TP so you don't spend it all on Overpower during trashpulls.
DRK is the least intuitive of the tanks and doesn't really come together until around the mid 60s. Also you have to press your Dark Arts button a lot and a lot of people don't like that.
Yoshida is the director
If he told his team to do shit and fix things they would, but he'd have to direct that, and everyone knows his lazy ass doesnt want the extra work
As spaghetti code as the game is, there's not a single fucking issue that couldnt be solved if he got off his ass and herded his guys into making it happen
> The collector's code doesn't work though
You'll have to w8 until 2th June if i understood it correctly.
DRK is weird but I think its the most fun tank
Probably the time-investment, how worth it the fixes in question are, and balancing the previous two against existing patch and development cycles desu, "WORK GOODER" from the director isn't a magic phrase that shits gold

You'll get the gunblade when it releases, it hasn't been distributed yet. I logged in and only got the aetheryte earrings and gremlin minion, everything else releases with 5.0.
RDM is fine with how much of a safety-net it is, one that understands MP management or at least isn't a drooling idiot can sometimes save the entire raid from a wipe

Should have been a male Elezen or Highlander you absolute mong.
Nigger they share gear and if they're that close just finish off both. whatever benefit one provides over the other is irrelevant, since 100% you won't be doing end-game raiding. Besides calling you a retard, WAR can virtually do everything in any content. DRK doesn't provide as much damage and the fact that its shield can only go one person isn't enough utility to shake it off or holmgang.
Absolutely based highlander friend. Same here, but also partially because I can't justify spending money on that shit even if i wanted to.
Also I used my free fantasia to go from catgirl to highlander.

>Are you ready for Shadowbringers?
Is it not out yet? You've been shilling this for at least half a year. I thought it already came out long ago.
When are they adding rat people to the game?
Never, yiff in hell.
> DRK doesn't provide as much damage
It's a meme
what do you think qirin are you fucking retard
Whenever I see people asking for chat bubbles in FFXIV, screenshots like this make me thankful that the devs continue to ignore the idiots requesting them.
Chat bubbles look horribly tacky. Floating chat text above a character looked bad in 2004, and it still looks bad today.
You better not be playing au ra or miqo'te, otherwise you're a massive hypocrite.
au ra and miqo'te aren't furry dumb animals fucker
CARLOS!
Doesn't mean it would feel good to look at the meter and see yourself at the bottom.
Per-job you should know where you'll sit relative to other jobs and aim for the "high score" that's relevant to the job you're playing as. I wouldn't expect to outdamage a SMN or MNK as a NIN, for instance, so I'd check to see how I do compared to other NINs. That's what FFlogs is for, after all, self-improvement and comparison to other players.
I don't care about all your faggy roleplaying and waifushit.
I just wanna know Judge magister class when.
Still doesn't mean it would feel good to see yourself at the bottom.
Not that I'm saying you're limited to always being at the bottom as nin, just talking about a hypothetical scenario where everyone is equally competent.
Look I'm not a furry or anything but I want to put my aether inside Y'shtola.
I know this is bait, but I unironically only know how to play SAM at an endgame level. The only other DPS I have leveled are DRG, RDM, and MCH, and I am so bad at all three that you'd be better off with a BLU filling that spot.
Yet I can top parses on SAM with the best of them
How in the world can you possibly be bad at RDM? It's the most braindead job in the game by design.
how do we fix machinests
why are they so fucking weak bros
i just wanna shoot
Oh boo hoo woe is the Ninja, so hard to feel useful despite having one of the best vulnerability debuffs in the game to increase the entire alliance's DPS. You must be really hard pressed to find a group. And can you imagine how hard they have it finding a group that can utilize their slashing vulnerability debuff that they can pretty much sustain indefinitely? Why, Slashing is only the most common fucking damage type, I can't imagine a party composition that would benefit immensely from increasing every enemy's vulnerability to it.
It's not even so much that they're weak so much as they're just incredibly unfun to play. That and BRD being BRD doesn't help either.
lets watch you doing this so everyones else parses can be better
>but its ok I have a group
Give them some raid buffs. Duh. Conditional abilities to break enemy defenses would be nice, and thematic.
>implying they wouldn't fug these catgirls if they had teh chance
Ain't it the truth? For as much as I shit on cat girls, I can name you at least FIVE catgirl NPCs that I'd bed without a second thought if given the chance.
Where do we think we are?
>You better not be playing au ra or miqo'te, otherwise you're a massive hypocrite.
Actually I play Elezen.
Savaged need to be gassed.
Why some people keep doing this? They are literally playing the game WRONG.
They deal less DPS than a fucking healer.
Why there is no punishment for such game ruin?
an excellent bait, hope it works out for you
I mean, at least he's clearing content? If I'm not mistaken, that's Final Omega right? And to have a parse means he has to have cleared right?
I know that's a really low spot to set the bar, but have you TRIED duty finder lately?
kys gay
Name them.
>he's playing the ripoff they had to make into a wow clone to sell instead of the original
Just subbed again today. Lvl 36.
Can I make it to end level without becoming a NEET? Scared I might get burned out when SHB comes..
just buy a level 70 boost when they release shb :)
Also delivering high quality stuff to your Grand company gives a decent amount of exp once a day
the biggest timesink in the game is getting through the hundreds of mandatory story quests, leveling and gearing aren't that big of a deal
the game is designed to be played for a few hours a day after a big patch drops, they don't really ask a lot of you to hit endgame
Imagine waiting over half a year into an expac's lifetime to just get a racial reskin that was advertised as a selling point
>Someone needs to counterbalance the homos and futas that have flooded this race en masse.
There's always room for one more.
>Be male Miqo'te
>Not a degenerate, not a furry, not gay and not a shitty player
>People lump me in with those people
>Only play as one because Hyurs are too boring and stiff and male Miqo'te look human enough and have more effort put into their animations and faces
Does Yea Forums know this problem?
Best move I ever made:
>Instant ques
>Huge damage output, HP pool and defense
>Literately feel like I'm more useful as a WAR than SAM (my main)
>Get a Chad axe and armor
Why??? I just can't understand why do people play SO wrong?
There's two types if catboy. The fags and the ones who aren't fags but constantly complain about how misrepresented they are. Stop being a bitch
>3 more weeks until the shitstorm
I can't wait!
I've been playing for more than a year and still don't get why people care about parsing. Why do you care so much?

Carrying dead weights isn't fun.
Calling it now, they'll end up having to add them in and will issue an apology as well. Especially because males get a bara cat race like pic related.
Yeah but it won't happen until 6.0 after two years of whining.
I'm glad SE is clamping down on your kind. We don't want you here. I'm not memorizing a 30 button rotation that'll end up being patched or rebalanced in the future. I'll stick with my in-game 3 button rotation with the occasional cool down instead.
>Male miqo'te
Stopped reading right there. Fuck off
Even in the extraordinarily unlikely case that they decide they made a huge mistake and immediately move to implement male viera, it'll take them at least a year.
Enjoy the votekick retard.
Literally the only content in this game that currently requires perfect usage of defensive tank abilities is Ultimate, for everything else, every tank has more than enough in their kit.
Only damage matters, stop making excuses for not contributing.
What is this Sims CC-ass garbage?
It's a shame because their concept art looks great.
I think it'll be sooner. Too much of their fanbase seem to really want it. If they unsub or protest too much, they'll panic.
>votekicking a tank
In what universe? Cause it sure as hell ain't the one we live in
I usually cue with another friend, so I never get kicked luckily.
The one where my party of 3 outnumber you.
>Too much of their fanbase seem to really want it.
Bubble logic. It's nothing but a very small yet very vocal minority. Most will just go "oh well" and keep playing catboys. Or even try out the lion men.
>Only damage matters, stop making excuses for not contributing.
I do contribute. The in-game recommend rotations that appear as you use attacks are plenty. 30 button rotations aren't recommend by SE so I don't use them. You don't pay for my game time, user.
You can still get kicked as long as one other person votes yes, unless we're talking about trials. In which case, if someone initiates a vote kick on you in a trial you're literally bottom of the barrel trash lol
>be male roe
>see another male roe
>immediate unspoken bond
Oh user, they're edited screenshots and cringe.
I'm yet to be kicked so idgaf.
yeah, it's a shame we never got male miqo'te
based retard
>The in-game recommend rotations that appear as you use attacks are plenty
This is what gave away your posts as low quality bait. You're not fooling anyone.
Not right off the bat. And it'll be the same with male Viera and female Hrothgar. Not before 6.0.
Expecting fully realized, two gender Viera and Hrothgar in 5.0 at this point is just delusional.
Oh user, let me tell you about my first dungeon experience where I was tanking as well:
>Start XIV
>Pic GLD because it had a sword and I wanted to feel more like a FF protagonist
>Game pushes me to use a shield
>Unequip it because I thought badass heroes don't use shields
>Go in with shitty armor because I wanted to be stylish and unequip my helmet
>Go into the dungeon act liking a DPS and attacking one enemy at a time
>After a while nobody helps and just stands there
>Get kicked 5 times and eventually quit
>End up coming back and later down the road becoming a pretty good tank
I hope it turns out like this:
>They reveal the Hrothgar
>Diablo Immortal-tier shitstorm from the crowd
>They panic and bow down to everyone
JP audiences are too polite for that. They'll flip out in the chats, on pixiv and on the official forums though.
> In what universe?
In ours you moron.
If you don't do your job RIGHT - get the fuck out of my group.
And tank's job is to DEAL DAMAGE. So if you, retard, tank in fucking tank stance - be ready to kick.
>And tank's job is to DEAL DAMAGE. So if you, retard, tank in fucking tank stance - be ready to kick.
I'm new to tanking, but won't that be worse for the healer if you just stay in DPS stance?
Even for Yea Forums that's delusional.
They are already expecting backlash from the announcement, which is why they delayed the reveal of the genderlock until they could announce the hrothgar at the same time. Japanese crowds don't boo either.
tfw no catgirl cocksleeve
Ugh, it's 2019, sexist and misogynist much? you're scum.
I know, I would just like to see it.
What do you think their logic behind it is anyway? Why not just do male/female for both races? Is it laziness?
No, lol.
In current meta you should be in tank stance as less as possible.
Nowadays tanks use it only from the start and then switch to DPS stance for more damage, modern tanks can survive any fight without tanks stance.
Ofc if you are low level then you should use it cause your kit is not full.
Of course not fucko but "DO WORK" period is
It's not about doing a better job, im offended you'd miss the point this hard mate, this game has problems and missing components entirely that have been neglected for literal years
But I want it to be consensual
>Zhloe
Dude
Suck my long dick you ultra faggot. I have YET to be kicked as a tank, and I'll stay in tank stance as long as I damn well please. Fact of the matter is your bitch ass DPS took thirty minutes to get in the damn dungeon in the first place, and you know god damn well you'll wait another thirty if you drop the tank. So you grin and bear it like the good little DPS cuck you are; cause you know your grey parsing faggot ass is literally a dime a fucking dozen and as such is expendable. The tank chad can just look disapprovingly in your direction and you're out the door.
Even the healer has more say than your punk ass. Tanks run this shit and don't you ever forget it
Im quite certain there is an image about you
You wouldnt happen to play a male au ra?
>boot tank
>ask friends if they want free tomes
Easy life
t. Healer carrying you everywhere
>not bringing a tank with you to begin with
Party of dumbasses I see
Reminder that FF14 is a trash weebshit and even nu-WoW is less boring.
ESO is the best anyway.
Her only fault is that she's dumb as bricks, and then again it's kind of endearing. Either way, she can get the pipe
I dont want to play tank every time, healer is a cocksleeve, and the dps player(s) are retards that can't play anything else like most dps players.
Mind you, this:
Is only for boss battles. If you pull wall to wall in dps stance, you are a dumbass and deserve to die
Healer is the only dungeon role that can carry hard regardless of the others.
>Game with Trash fucking combat.
>The best.
I dont even have to fucking play it to know that if its anything like the games it based off the gameplay is pure ass.
>I dont even have to fucking play it
I will be staying female Miqo'te yes. If Miqo'te weren't in the game I'd be playing femlala.
Literally just because it's a huge amount of work. Although I realize that everyone who has never tried to make a game before doesn't understand the concept of labour constraints and just interprets any perceived lack of anything as just being laziness.
The more compelling question is why not just do male/female viera instead of genderlocked races since that's something they obviously could have done. And in that case it probably all comes down to Yoshi's autism. Probably everyone on the dev team besides Yoshi knows that genderlocked races is a bad idea, but either no one has the balls to tell him "no" or he just doesn't care and overrules any objections.
Nah I was a Hyur at the time. Post it though.
How does this story compare to other RPGs? I'm mainly interested in the story and I heard ARR is a slog but HW is better then most games. Some reviewer said it was like watching an HBO show, which intrigued me.
It's pretty standard fantasy fare. The compelling part of it (if any) is seeing it progress and unfold with each new patch. Some of the characters are alright too.
If you don't like Final Fantasy stories and square enix meta humour, then you might hate it, and pretentious erpers will hate you for skipping cutscenes because they skip them themselves but pretend they don't know/know about the game's lore.
Why does SE keep sponsoring him.... Homie even gets to go to SE headquaters and do an in person interview with Yoshi...
He's the biggest face for western shitters. This also explains why you have a majority of idiots following Mr Happy strats for pugs.
>best quest design - ESO
>best world and scale - WoW

Why we can't have a perfect MMORPG that combines all of those things in one game?

No thanks, had enough of that with age of conan
If i could, i would play a dog. Ill be going bun and abandoning my cat that ive been playing since 1.0.
Every single race and gender combination in this game has stigma attached to it. I play female lalafel so I'm pretty much destined to be cheeto dusted degenerate or shitty soccer mom.
What sword is that, please.
Sadly i dont have it but it involves an au ra pld with his shield straight up unequipped because it doesnt fit his look and one of the party members is like "man that's the invisible shield r-right..?" Or something
Guillotine of the fury
>people still don't know about garo glamour
The fuck is wrong with the playerbase? I didn't see a single monk with garo fists or pld with invisible shield.
>Guillotine of the fury
Thanks, I appreciate it. Surprised more people don't have this sword.
PvP has lots of good weapons that people mostly ignore. Axe of the Fury is imo the best looking Warrior weapon in the game.
aka the Compensator
>I didn't see a single monk with garo fists or pld with invisible shield.
Because making shield invisible doesn't remove the animations. Just don't be an autistic RP retard who wants to play a sword guy or an ice mage, if you're one of those just drink bleach and save the human race the embarrassment.
Because emperor’s new fists is the best glam for monks

Highlander here, I got news for you bro.
Aside from his long guides, why do people hate Mr Happy so much? Seems like a good guy.
Cooldown-wise AST is the best designed job, but I can't get myself to play AST outside trials, it bores me to death on stupidly predictable situations.
Last time I looked at him and his fanbase he was the one who incited "competitively" even on dungeons, by this I mean people bitching and crying because an AST didn't drop Balance card on them, or BRD mistimed Foe Requiem on a fucking MSQ dungeon. Not sure about you but this is fucking retarded.
well the first hurdle is the art style i guess, some people are immediately turned off the game due to the 'weeb' art style, so check out something that shows the in game visuals to see whether you can even tolerate it, like
youtube.com
the other hurdle to get over is that literally every feature of the game is tied to the main story quest progression, you HAVE to do the MSQ's to be able to do anything and the MSQ from the base game to the start of the first expansion are extremely tedious (lots of go to location A, talk to person A, get sent to location B, talk to person B, report back to person A, repeat). It's also during this period (level 1-50) that the combat is at its' worse by far.
if you can stomach the 1-50 journey and you don't find the art style unappealing then you'll likely find enjoyment in the game.
I started the trial, what's a fun job for a first timer?
Hyur > Lalafell/Elezen > *power gap* > Literally everything else

Larryzaur is a straight white male with a gf and he has an ult dreadwyrm weapon on every class

You're wrong. Enjoy your roleplay though.
No you.

Did I hurt your feelings? You do you, m8.
right guess im not ever going on the FFXIV subreddit or discord because it's full pedophiles
>people didn't dick suck my shitty character
>you're pedos!
nice nice nice die
Representing.
Nigga, I'm not that guy you were talking to, but if you read the links in that link. hell even if the picture hyperlink, it links to an article talking about a pedophile ring in the FFXIV discord and a pc gamer article about how some guy was blackmailing underage girls with revenge porn, you guys are fucked up.
How long will it take to get to endgame if you're a new player
>links to an article talking about a pedophile ring in the FFXIV discord
no they said they were sharing 2d shit and they got asked to stop thats not a pedo ring you stupid nigger and there isn't a pc gamer article linked so what the fuck are you even on about
>Lolicons aren't pedophile
>can't find reference to a pc gamer article
retarded and can't read nice
drawings you stupid fuck
depends, when you're playing are you focused on getting to end game or are you prone to trying out different classes, crafting/gathering, doing side quests etc?
I would say from the beginning of the game to the final MSQ currently implemented, roughly 120 hours of focused play including queue times but much longer if you try out other classes/do optional content
