Not him but The Burn really does nothing new. Its still the same pull to the boss and burn x3. Trash offers nothing unique or interesting and all the Bosses are rehashes of existing boss mechanics ranging from ARR to early SB. Ghimylt Dark isnt any different in that regard outside the final boss and a unique AI LB3. Dungeons haven’t really been content filled with depth since 1.0’s version of AV and CC where potions were a must for casters and the like.

Thought we were talking the most important thing in FFXIV, style.

I tend to judge content as a whole. Rarely do i even bring up aesthetics as it tends to be solid if not just watered down by outdated graphics but Style over Substance is something that should generally be avoided. Style is fine but their #1 concerne especially when claiming “never thought possible” is content that would be no different from any other dungeon outside of the iLvl/Lvl its tuned for.

We never knew Yda. We knew a broken person pretending to be her dead sister.

In other words, 1.0 players met her.
You knew Yda if you started in Gridania in 1.0. But she never knew you, because you only ever saw her in Echo visions after she was already dead.

Echo doesnt count. You're in the past.

It does count. You saw her and experienced who she was and what she was like. Back then the Echo also let you interact with the people and objects inside the memories. In the Ul'dah opening you even bring back a flower from your Echo vision.

SE seems too invested in style lately. Now that's not bad but when you consider how much substance XV lacked with all its flashy animations you should be a bit worried for their whole direction as a whole not to mention they're not the best at planning shit given FFVII and even XV's dev cycle . FFXIV is even a weirder case where they don't want to even bump up the graphic quality a bet but still seem focused on that style over substance mentality. Raids are generally good but holy hell do Dungeons suffer for this.

Aren't side stories considered non-canon?

No, literally everything is canon. Even the Lightning event was fucking canon because the reporter in the Ivalice questline mentions it if you've done it.

it's the fucking crystal aids you dunce
nero got covered in them when he was in the wod

No they're all canon. The only point of contention is the placement in the story when compared to the main MSQ.

No? Cid even mentions he can't believe Nero is back in 3.55 MSQ if you did World of Darkness.

only the crossover shit is non-canon, as far as i know

There's a flashback of G'raha during Omega and the whole raid series reveals vital info about the Allagans and why Bahamut was inside Dalamud.

Except it’s not.

Why would the raids be non-canon?

Hasn't Yoshi said in the past that any stories outside of the MSQ need to be self-contained? Since otherwise it'd be jarring as fuck to players who haven't done the content?

Attached: 1416143237120.jpg (356x325, 23K)

Omega is literally a branch off the end of the HW story quest, and the reason Shinryu is the final boss of SB.
And now the Return to Ivalice series has Gabranth hinting at MSQ shit.
He more than likely meant gameplay wise. Like not locking dungeons or fights behind anything but their own stories.

Doesn't matter, the writing has clearly gone downhill since HW ended

>And now the Return to Ivalice series has Gabranth hinting at MSQ shit.
The Ivalice questline is also the entire reason that the barrier in the Burn works. Because Gabranth turned the only other airship refueling point in Othard to ruins.Otherwise the Garleans would be able to fly around it.

By having the same writers HW patch series had?

So assuming that the ever more credible leak is legit
>G'raha Tia and Crystal Tower are supposed to play part of ShB msq
>World getting flooded by light seems to be the main problem we'll work toward solving in 5.0

So is the solution to Light Genocide in WoLs brilliant mind is to flood the world with voidsent and whatever the fuck else is in World of Darkness? Is there ever going to be a time where we don't fuck everything up harder for everyone while trying to solve earlier created problem?

They could also somehow end up connecting the portal to the First so we can go there to fix things.

>Omega is literally a branch off the end of the HW
Not exactly what I meant.
>Return to Ivalice series has Gabranth hinting at MSQ shit
Right, forgot about the ending to that. Trying to remember what he said a bit more, I think he meant more that main characters that appear in side quests and stuff like the 24 mans obviously can't die, because if people ever go back and do that content it'd be jarring to see them alive again. Which means Yugiri and Krile can never be killed.

Doesn’t the CUL quest gene you make something for Lolorito?

You cook meals for a dead Nanamo if you do the CUL quests during HW

Lolorito isn't the one that gets his head cut off if you're talking about that.

Yeah, you make dinner for Lolorito and Nanamo. It's perfectly fine now, but you were able to do it while she was """dead""". You can also go back and do the DRG questline after finishing Heavensward and Estinien is there meeting you for the first time still being corrupted by Nidhogg.

There's a CUL quest with Lolorito in it but that hardly matters since Lolorito isn't dead.

Is the WoL a primal based off of a magicite imbued into a regular pleb which is sucking the world dry of aether?

>thinking people cant fuck up
>not realizing this might be the equivalent of "One Hit Wonders"

Yes, that's definitely more what he meant. However, I actually think they've decided to just say "this happens before this" because if you go back and do the DRG 50 quest after you've already done 3.3... it's a bit weird already. Maybe job stories are exempt specifically because of this, though.
However, if Nero is ever used again there's a problem with that regardless.
>Do 2.0 questline
>don't do crystal tower series
>do story up to 3.55 where nero comes back
>do crystal tower series
>do omega and he's back with no explanation
Which just makes my "timeline" idea more sound. I don't think they'll KILL any character who appears in this side shit because of that, but it definitely already has some weird shit

autist

But Stormblood was great

After the whole thing with Estinien and the DRG questline, they clarified that any quest you do canonically happens at the point in time with the patch that introduced it.

If someone gets to the end of 4.5 without doing any of the raids or sidestories they could also do stuff like coils with Alisaie, Alexander with Y'shtola and Warring Triad with Urianger even though they're all in comas.

all of the side stories take place in the patch (and therefore time) they were introduced, for the most part

teleliji is still alive for the 50 cul quest, if i remember right. if you did it at the end of arr it looked like nanamo came back from the "dead" to eat your food, which was funny

Old guys because based fucking Pipin is in Ghimlyt

Fuck off retard.

It was horrible user. The story was heavily disjointed due to the vast distance between the regions at hand. All the focus that should have been Ala Mhigo end up going to Doma alone. It made for a rushed Liberation for both regions that really had no weight to them. Had they waited for the "Ala Mhigan" liberation to happen till now it probably wouldn't throw the story off and would still make sense for the Garlean Empire to quickly strike back quickly. That's the reason HW worked so well, it focused on Ishgard and its neighboring regions, one that was home to their enemy, and still had lingering issue far after the defeat of King Thordan and even Nidhogg himself. Hell as boring as the MCH storyline is in SB it does keep showing the bumpy path they're going thru in terms of their restructuring of society now that the truth is out.

>they clarified that any quest you do canonically happens at the point in time
Yes, I remember Yoshi saying this as well, all the events that happen reside in their own little 'time-bubble', which I guess totally makes the retard cat putting everyone into a coma absolutely a possibility. They could just say fuck it and make completing Crystal Tower a requirement to continue with MSQ, too.

I just don't get why people say this. The Ala Mhigan sections were completely fine, the start where everything was desperate and pretty much forced to give up into Doma, and returning, sure to finally take it back from Garlean hands.
Lyse will be shit on forever and always it seems, but I don't get how people think she wasn't always acting like this. Papalymo kept her in line.

user. Catboys are literally a race of cucks, by design. Their entire culture is about that shit.

Lmao dude, read up on miqo'tes. One male in the tribe is the chad and the rest are beta cucks.

That user is a Keeper of the Moon. Mooncat males live as drifters constantly on the move. They stop in villages occasionally and fuck whatever women are there before moving on.

The main problem with Ala Mhigo is simple: why should I care about them?

>Invade neighboring states and rightly get BTFO for it
>Cause nothing but trouble for the states they flock to as refugees
>Make Ul'dah look like garbage
>Release Shinryu

Give me THREE reasons why I should care about them. Meanwhile the Garleans are interesting characters and even when they wrote one to be unlikable on purpose, everyone liked him.

I mean the MSQ as you're leveling is mostly fine, it just really starts breaking down once Zenos kicks the bucket. It's also frustrating to see a "comrade in arms" type character get reduced to a damsel in distress and a mostly useless figurehead who manages to somehow be less effective and useful than fucking Nanamo.

I'm a Mooncat, so no he wouldn't be a cuck. Nice try though.

Only Suncats.

Which means he's literally a cuck, never managing to have a woman of his own and just taking the scraps of some nuhn before bitching out again.

What are some interesting parts of XIV's lore that some might not know about?

It's good to have them as a buffer zone against Garlemald

If you mean the fucking meme definition of cuck, sure I guess. Tias don't get to fuck bitches, simple as that. They aren't having their wives stolen from them, and they're free to challenge the Nunh for his position whenever they want. A lot of times they don't just out of respect... because they're a tribal culture that care about each other.
Meanwhile male Keepers of the Moon are sought after because males are rarer, though the women are, I don't want to say "dominant" but the Keepers are a female focused culture is all.

Nigger mooncats make Tia's look alpha. What the fuck are you smoking?

The actual guides are made by her boyfriend. She just reads them to bait thirsty virgins for more subs.

Yoshi saying he dislikes them is basically a death sentence.

I mean, not really, they're as standard as anyone else in the world, they just happen to take their mother's name because their culture is ruled by their women.
Keepers barely get any fucking lore anyway though. They really need to flesh them, Plainsfolk Lalafell, and Duskwights out more.

>their culture is ruled by their women
>not beta
Pick one. Also doesn't help that cats are canonically slutty, but I imagine you'd prefer to tell yourself otherwise.

Do you have some sort of brain damage? Keepers don’t have nunhs, fucking retard.

Rostnsthal, the Roegadyn from the MCH questline, was once the Commodore of Limsa Lominsa. He had dreams of replacing the corrupt Admiral at the time. He was approached by a man named Travanchet, who warned him of the coming primals and offered him the chance to save Limsa from them and claim the seat of Admiral. All he had to do was find the legendary Swallowtail Roam, aka Seal Rock, and retrieve an artifact from it.

This led to a whole conspiracy that led to the deaths of countless Knights of the Barracuda, but Rostnsthal did claim the relic from Seal Rock. Travanchet then revealed himself as an Ascian and stole it from him, leaving Rostnsthal alone and responsible for his actions.

The relic was later handed over to Mide, and used to summon Alexander. It's the reason he's so absurdly powerful, because the relic is exactly like the one topping Louisoix's staff.

Also anything in the fishing log is extremely obscure.

Not necessarily. They're not explicit in when the switch happened, and it could have been pre-1.0

Nah, 60-70 story basically has the old white mages canonically go nuts because of how inferior they were to old SCHs, though the whole spiel is delivered in a messy, contrived and convoluted way.

50-60 was pretty shit too mate. 30-50 was okay, but not very interesting or engaging either. I actually can't think of a job line that's worse than SCH in every tier.

>Commending someone with a skill emote
Never encourage retardation, faggot.

the lalafell in the warrior of darkness's party has a strong sexual desire for him

Yda/Lyse was fine as a comic relief side character but when you thrust her center stage and suddenly she needs to have a real personality and motivations and growth it kind of falls apart and they didn't handle it well at all.

The Ala Mhigo plot overall was a disappointment because it feels like it was glossed over and the real focus of the expansion is on Doma/Othard, although neither side really gets the attention necessary to make them feel properly fleshed out like Ishgard did. The Ala Mhigo arc had been built up since 2.0 so it was shit having it feel like the devs just wanted to rush through it and get it over with as soon as possible so they could jack off to japanese aesthetics.

You don't get enough time with the people, history and locations of Ala Mhigo to feel any kind of investment or connection with them or their plight, and the Empire is bowled over so quickly that it made the story's primary antagonists come off as bumbling incompetents. Ala Mhigo was already struggling to get any kind of sympathy from the player considering just about every Ala Mhigan you meet during the pre-SB MSQ is a massive cunt, and Stormblood barely did anything to try and rectify that while also introducing a really annoying character in the process (Lyse) who kind of symbolizes everything wrong with the entire arc. I don't blame people at all if the Ala Mhigo plot left a bad taste in their mouth.

I call bullshit on this one, but it's plausible because there is no limit to lalafell degeneracy.

pipin is a fuckin faggot

It's not bullshit, the lorebook says it outright. But she's not actually a Lalafell in her original body. All the Warriors of Darkness are possessing new bodies in our world like Ascians do.

So the rewards are still the fucking same than when this shit started? What's the point?

Most trannies have therapists right? They should probably do some questions where they ask if the tranny feels like the correct gender/that they're passing. I think the amount that do feel good about it versus the ones who don't is more than likely staggering.

I'd rather be weak and interesting than strong and boring user. Class is boring as shit and their new skills are either just repackaged old skills or completely worthless. The most interesting ability in 20 levels is a 15 second debuff.

Yes, I am still mad they removed cleric stance and turned it into this abomination of a cooldown based buff.

Because it is boring as shit.

The main killer is the ostracisation. But one thing that really needs to be stated and is often ignored is that it's usually NOT the white middle class trans people killing themselves, it's lower class and minority ones typically. So really the white middle class ones should stop acting like they're the ones being murdered and driven to suicide.

You are genuinely retarded

Oh please, tell me when ET is useful other than when your other healer fell asleep, or how Selene is relevant outside of the 1% of fights where there's a bunch of debuffs to purge because eos healing allowing you more time to DPS is already more value than selene's worthless buff.

Old cleric stance made a clear distinction between healing and dealing damage and allow for a greater range of skill. This whole obsession over healer parsing got far worse as soon as healers were able to do dps for free.

Emergency Tactics is literally the best fucking mitigation skill in the entire game you moron what the fuck is wrong with you

Learn to fucking read you pathetic shitstain. I compared it to excognicate, not lustrate. And Tetragammon is a free skill that costs no mp or resources whereas excognicate/lustrate costs a limited resource that is generally better spent on other abilities. Something is seriously going wrong if you're spending your shit on lustrates.

No point. Indo + Whispering dawn is more healing than you will need, especially if you have any other healer casting any single aoe heal.

You might want to add an extra 0 to your numbers.

You could use the Darkness from there to balance it out. Or you could change the portal to go to the First instead, because right now the problem is that strange Light-tainted aether is bleeding into our world from there and Solus plans on fusing it with the Black Rose somehow.

Stormblood was consistently good and the people who jerk off Heavensward were likely newbies who joined after 3.2 and don't remember how barren half the expansion was.

Stormblood was consistently good and the only bad parts of HW was after you beat it and 3.1, it was a great expansion too.

Classic WoW will attract a bunch of WoWfugees back, but almost everyone will leave on a month or two.

The devs were at least willing to try and fix the game during HW, rather than in SB where the excuse seems to constantly be "we're putting all our resources into future content" and hoping band-aid'ing over glaring flaws is enough to keep people distracted long enough until 5.0 comes out and SB becomes a forgotten memory.

This basically. Old Lyse was fun when she was a bumbling comic relief sidekick. She wasn't great by any means, but at least she wasn't boring. As far as I'm concerned she died along with Potatolymo and the only reason why she's still technically the same character was as an attempt to get the player at all invested in the ala mhigo bullshit.
She looked better with her old turban and stupid goggles too.

Attached: 1549235013355.jpg (391x409, 36K)

You have no reason not to cast indo, and casting ET will never make a difference unless your other healer is dead or sleeping. None of your rambling nonsense changes that fact.
>B-but the numbers!
Just because you CAN do something, and it has theoretical value, doesn't make it practically significant. It is typical brainlet theorycrafting.

I mean if they actually removed indo as they fucking should because the ability is boring as hell (herp derp healing my entire party for 30-50% of their health with a press of a button every 45 seconds durrrp) Then ET would actually be useful. As it stands, it's extremely situational where other classes at least get abilities they regularly use. Goes back to my earlier points about Excognication vs Tetragammon, where excognication is basically just a stronger lustrate every 45 seconds vs an actual ability to use in addition to your other spells, rather than instead of.

Well it's a good thing Ala Mhigo ended up being an afterthought which is really only featured in the post-67 MSQ. Ala Mhigo as a dungeon was pretty great though. Skalla sucked ass. Still, we spent most of the expansion in Othard which was nice. Return to Ivalice was excellent, Eureka was a great time waster, Omega was mostly shit thematically but had some great bosses and the best Savage incentives in the form of exclusive end bosses, Ultimate was good, the Four Lords was a primal series that didn't feel like villain of the week shit, and the new jobs were pretty fun.

The fuck did they end up fixing during HW that wasn't fixed simply by releasing content that wasn't subpar? About the only thing they really shifted during HW was raiding difficulty. For the most part nothing in SB needed to be fixed except job balance, and even then job balance was pretty tight. Other than Eureka not being what casuals wanted for their daily grind what was there to really complain about?

Attached: 1534673785666.png (760x545, 78K)

RDM is best for a complete tard since it has no proper rotation and can res the whole party without even thinking about it.

RDM

I hope her lizard was okay.

RDM. SAM, while having a low skill floor, has a pretty decently high skill ceiling.

RDM stays consistently braindead.

I never said it was hardcore content. I said casuals were the ones who complained because it wasn't what they wanted out of their daily grind. You didn't hear anyone complaining about content that wasn't Eureka.

RDM is dps on easy mode. It's fun as hell and pretty much zero effort. SAM has a good amount of optimization if you're into that.

That's because eureka was so mindblowingly bad that it dwarfed anything else in the game to date. It's a blackhole of suck that makes more expert roulette dungeons look like good content by comparison.

Attached: 1445970588860.png (256x192, 29K)

People complain because it's the most souless "carrot-on-a-stick" tier grind ever. I couldn't justify spending any time in there at all, if I ran out of relevant content I would just play another game.

RDM. But I'm sure they'll do something in 5.0 to make it more "challenging" like buff maintenance in order to use verholy2 and verflare2

>verholy2 and verflare2

Shit, it was a grind for sure but it was certainly different. Optimizing grind methods was at least kind of fun since it brought me back to FFXI days. Had I done it solo I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it but I had a good time doing it with friends since it had a clear progression path that wasn't just "get tomes, increase ilvl, repeat". Comparing it to old relic steps I thought it was pretty excellent since there was an open-endedness that previous relic series ended up lacking.

>Tfw no ASoIaF mmo with XIV style boss fights

Fate grinding isn't anything new. That's pretty much all it is. Really they just need to do something new for relic in 5.0. Maybe make a questline that requires you to go into a solo duty to fight in relic steps or something.

that doesn't even make sense

The relic is always going to be designed as a timesink and they've already announced plans for more timesink content "similar to Eureka" in Shadowbringers.

The difference being none of those, not even DIadem, sucked all the dev time away from other content
Also gordias is strictly better than Eureka

>worse than diadem
At least you had objectives to complete before dino-island, and you could gather in there too. It also wasn't supposed to be a selling point of the whole expac that was announced before it even released.
>worse than gordias
What was wrong with gordias? Too hard for you?
>worse than verminion
a one-off mini-game we got as a total surprise one patch? yeah sure fair comparison to something that was advertised as a main point of the expansion, we had content cut to provide dev time for, was delayed repeatedly, and then sucked on arrival. That's totally in the same category you're right.
>worse than any of the garbage attempts at PVP modes
PVP can be loads of fun sometimes even if its imbalanced and crapshooty, Eureka is boring every time.
>worse than HW's infinite tome grind relic steps
Since they only cost obsolete tomes that you had nothing to spend on other than relic you could literally just play normally and spend the tomes as you got them and have the relic done in time for the next step to be released.

The only thing that would make Eureka any more of a resource-drain than Diadem was would be the tying a relic-weapon to it, hell Ultimate difficulty for Coils of Bahamut and Ultima Weapon are objectively bigger distractions and wastes of dev-time than Eureka on account of the sheer player turnover for Ultimate.

Chaining parties made it a lot more than just fate grinding. Having to wrangle tards and drag them kicking and screaming into an activity that would give them huge rewards was pretty fun for me. There isn't enough pick up content that allows you to boss people around for their own good.

I'm trying to remember those content gaps that Eureka caused. Because I'm remembering four and a half Savage bosses per tier, two Ultimate fights, one more extreme trial than HW, some of the best 4 mans we've ever gotten, and easily the best 24 mans we've ever gotten. All without patch delays.

I understand the time sink, but do it differently. I'd like to be able to solo stuff and work on it in my own time.

This has to be bait but i'll respond
>Optimizing Grind Methods
Yeah the most optimal way of grinding sure was fun when it wasn't compatible with the game's battle system. Surely chaining trash mobs with no unique movesets when compared to their overworld/dungeon counterparts can't be the peak of this game.They didn't even try and fit it into XIV properly, they just extended the grind as much as they could and then fucking suffered for it in Pagos
>b-but Pyros and Hydatos were good
They're only good cause Pagos was so fucking shit you couldn't go anywhere but up
>FFXI days
If you think Eureka was any kind of good representation of FFXI then you're fucking daft. The content didn't offer any kind of reward to justify the grind nor did it try and work itself into the XIV system.
>Had I done it solo I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it but I had a good time doing it with friends
Shit Fallout 76 is horrible solo but I know if I got a few of my buddies we could probably have fun playing the shitty game by just doing retarded shit. That argument helps no game at all. If you can't have fun when you're by yourself then the game and/or content is already doing something wrong.
>Comparing it to old relic steps I thought it was pretty excellent since there was an open-endedness that previous relic series ended up lacking.
What open-end? This literally a linear path, there is no multiple avenues of content you can do to upgrade your weapon its literally go into the instance, farm crystals and light/mnemes + 5 of a NM material and then move on. The content isn't even future proof making Hydatos Relic a "Get it now or never get it again" Relic.

"Huge" reward is a bit subjective. Since it was late in release and the weapons didn't mean anything through most of SB. Sure the bis weapon is out in the last few months left of the expac. Though I guess what's fun for a few isn't for the rest.

99% sure this picture was made by a disgusting potato shitmongler which makes any opinions on it irrelevant.

>Ultimate difficulty for Coils of Bahamut and Ultima Weapon are objectively bigger distractions and wastes of dev-time
Except all of these were just reused assets, almost little to no work was done on asset creation for this. It was just a balancing act for the most part and was something Yoshida gave the devs free reign to do. Eureka on the other hand was already confirmed to be draining resources from multiple avenues by Yoshida himself even stating it as a reason to us getting one less dungeon. Hell the Raid Tier in of itself used a lot of reused skeletons and pulled a shit ton from Dissidia and other games. Hell it was literally "Haha nostalgia remember?" instead of something like Alexander or Coils where they try and integrate staples into an interesting bit of lore for Eorzea that isn't just nostalgia itself.
>chaining parties made it a lot more than just fate grinding
Yeah that's great except now we have to ask why the need for an arbitrary leveling system? Why didn't they bother adjusting the chain style grind to the XIV combat system or give those mobs unique aspects to their movelist? All you're doing is attacking health sponge variants of existing mobs with a shallow R/P/S system.
>content gaps that Eureka caused
How about offering no other avenue of content for casual players to do? It was Savage or Eureka and without the Relic being a generic goal for anyone and everyone due to Eureka it caused most content to die off fast when compared to the Anima's timeline. It's resource cost alone made Stormblood one of the worst cases of re-used assets ever.
>without Patch Delays
Except they had to delay Eureka:Anemos at first and accordingly made it a .5 in all consequent patches afterward making its reward nothing more than a glamstick furthering enforcing the idea that the grind is not worth the reward though we can also blame iLvl

How does coils work if you don't complete that? Coils is Canon but you could have passed it over. It's Canon that it happened and that's where alisaie was before the end of HW.

No way in fucking hell is lustrate a better cool down than tetra. Tetra is completely free, lustrate has a hidden cost of 150 potency and mana lost from not using energy drain.

Aetherpact is incredibly strong during auto heavy moments where few mechanics are going out, again since aetherpact is completely free and is several thousand healing potency over 30 seconds.

This has reminded how fucking grey the average poster is in these threads. I don’t think any of you retards are qualified to talk about game balance

Yoshida. Do your Challenge Logs and do it at peak hours to catch an NM train or if you're autistic enough to constantly be pressing your keyboard without stop find a chaining party. At this point if you don't finish your Hydatos step by ShadowBringers chances are you never will.
>now you realize was the casual content for Stormblood
>they're repeating this in 5.0
I really hope he announces someone taking over his creative lead role.

Expert dungeons made up most of ARR's content and a good amount of HW's. HW already trimmed them back without really increasing their quality or putting out better alternative content. Dungeons have never been great content though since they're designed like one and done romps with zero difficulty but you have to do them every day even though they're not engaging at all after the first couple of runs. Art assets are kind of a whatever sort of issue. I've never cared much about the generic flavor of the month patch glamours. On the whole I have a lot of sets from SB I enjoy so I might be biased. Skallic, Alliance, and some of the Bonewicca sets are better than any dungeon gear we've gotten before unless you count Darklight when it was shifted down into dungeons. Mob models used a lot of existing models but I never felt like it got as bad as something like Warlords of Draenor where literally everything was a reskinned ogre, orc, or dire troll. The Dissidia models looked good. Amemiya's Ivalice designs were stellar.

I would consider something like mahjong out of the blue content. BLU was also completely out of left field. It was a nice distraction for about a week and pretty interesting as a piece of side content even if it was underdeveloped. Rathalos was also neat. Ultimate kind of knocked us on our asses when they sprung it on us. Other than something like Verminion I can't think of much out of the blue content we got in HW. ARR was a bag of surprises but that made sense considering they were still trying to make the game feature complete at the time. ARR was a lot of fun for all the crazy shit that would become staples that they threw at us constantly but I don't think the game can really sustain that level of freshness at this point without being forced.

>now you realize was the casual content for Stormblood
Everything but Ultimate and the last two Savage fights were casual content.

I like Eureka

me too

I hate most of it but Baldesion Arsenal is great.

I think they're finally hitting their stride on the side-open world content now that they've had Eureka to experiment with. Shadowbringers' area ought to be really good.

BA is literally the most cancerous content ever added to the game

>t. portal sniper who died to Raiden and then raged when the group didn't sac for him

>look at how good I am
While I agree with you, would even argue most of the final fights of Savage weren't hard either let's not act like the majority of the in-game community considers that "Casual" content. When you mention Casual content they don't think early Savage fights. There literally was nothing else to do but one and done dungeons and maybe some of the Extreme fights if you didn't have the mount and most of the content burns out fast.
BA is great but has a point because once again Yoshida proves he can't design to save his life. They completly fucked up queuing into the thing itself and adjusted it for premades in an attempt to push the mnemes that don't help bridge the gap between roles.

Same. I understand why people wouldn't like it but it's probably the best grind content the game has ever had since it wasn't railroaded. The Logos system was also pretty neato. Fortunately it seems like SE isn't listening to the people who constantly bitch about it.

Lmfao you were right. He is a portal sniper.

This only seems to be an issue in the West, why is it the JP guys can just go "okay so who came in? these guys? cool lets work with what we have then" use a macro to spam tactics and get on with it, but that just seems to be beyond NA/EU

Even in JP it isn't going the best. A lot are coming to NA for organized clears.

Last I saw their completion rate was like 10 times NA/EU tho.

>why is it the JP guys can just go "okay so who came in? these guys? cool lets work with what we have then"
Because then you end up with three tanks, four healers, no sacrifices, and nobody with the proper damage or support logograms.

Hahahaha this fucking brainlet dares call others retarded. Aetherpact is literally just a 90% buff to embrace, which is nice but in no way significant or interesting, to call it incredibly strong is just completely laughable, get the fuck out of here retard.

Stop this hyperbole, you have time to organize once everyone is in.
NA can't work with pugs because all of you are too lazy and are dependent on voiced callouts.

I was kind of disappointed when I realized Return to Ivalice using old music meant less Soken pieces but then I remembered how much I adore Sakimoto's work on Tactics and FFXII. The fact that they sneaked a couple of Vagrant Story tracks in at the end was a delight.

Soken's work on SB was excellent but it's one area I'm willing to say was better in HW.

>BIS weapon
Yeah, if you spend literally 400 hours respeccing it repeatedly

So explain why JP pugs are regularly clearing it then. Even with weights.

>dependent on voiced callouts

What are you talking about? NA players are complete sociopaths and literally incapable of communicating with someone except to scream at their mistakes which are usually their own mistakes they're unable to admit or even recognize.

Nobody fucking uses voice anymore. Nobody wants to actually hear another person talking.

Oh you're one of the absolute fucking retards that thinks chaining was in any way, shape or form a good mechanic. Off yourself.

>regularly
their clear rates are the same as NA. the nips hate BA too, which is good, because it means we'll never see this shit again.

Just goes to show that NA players are shit.

>90% buff to SCHs only resourceless healing source.

Holy shit you greylet, I’d stop talking until you can actually get a good parse if I were you, because you’re never gonna get far in savage if you don’t know the basic principles of healing in this game.

>hell Ultimate difficulty for Coils of Bahamut and Ultima Weapon are objectively bigger distractions and wastes of dev-time than Eureka on account of the sheer player turnover for Ultimate.
Really? cause I see parties up for Ultimate all the time. Clear rates aren't high but that doesn't mean nobody is doing it - it takes a long fucking time to prog for 90% of groups. Besides, it uses an infinitely small fraction of dev time compared to say, Eureka Hydatos, which 12% of the playerbase can even enter.

I got a weapon that's superior to the omega weapon after 4 rolls on my SCH weapon and 2 rolls on my AST weapon.

Omega weapons have 685 substat, and your roll range is 400-1000. It's really not that hard to get more than 685. For omega weapons with shit substats you can roll even lower.

Attached: 1550692241873.jpg (276x398, 57K)

Because JP players don't queue for BA in groups not prepared for it. In NA/EU if you get a random group join, they're likely to have a meme comp with the wrong logograms set up. In JP due to their culture you will never see a group join BA if they're not set up for it properly beforehand.

Not even 5% of the playerbase has even ATTEMPTED an ultimate, let alone cleared it. Yes, they are a massive fucking waste of resources catered solely to the top .1 or 2% of players. This is the same shit that killed Everquest all those years ago- the devs spent so much time spoonfeeding the 'hardcore raiders' content that the rest of the players were left out in the cold.

>I got a weapon that's superior to the omega weapon after 4 rolls on my SCH weapon and 2 rolls on my AST weapon.
THat's nice but as anyone who actually pays attention can tell the vast majority of people who are trying for BiS weapons have to reroll dozens of times to get something even usable let alone anywhere near the raid weapon, and then dozens and dozens more times to actually get one better.
>It's really not that hard to get more than 685
It is when you factor in that there are three layers of RNG, because if you get a 500 SS 500 det monk relic you might as well just be using the omega knuckles instead.

Honestly both Gilgamesh and Balmung need to leave Aether and go to Crystal.
I'm tired of this dichotomy we've had for the past six years dictating how the entire data center operates, and it's going to be the exact same thing with Gilgamesh and Balmung determining the fate of Aether and Crystal. Quarantine those servers to themselves, the rest of Aether can manage.

the damage numbers are getting too big

>Not even 5% of the playerbase has even ATTEMPTED an ultimate, let alone cleared it.
So about half of the people who can even enter Hydatos?

>no marche fight where he deletes your account if you lose

Honestly just give Gilgamesh a Gilgamesh Data Center and everything will be fixed.

t. A player on Gilgamesh

Not him but thanks to the buffs to leveling exp and crystal drops, you can get into Hydatos from scratch with just a weekend of casual play. Maybe a few extra days if you want to do the entire weapon grind (fuck Pagos).

amid the flowers

I literally just told you it doesn't take that many rolls and explained why. You only need to get 5 stat slots which takes around 10-15 rolls, then you only need a mediocre mid-range roll with stats that aren't completely shit to be BiS.

A BiS relic shouldn't take you more than 25 rolls max, and that's if your luck is totally shit.

user the tank doesn't have to take continuous damage for it to be useful
you can use it to top them off after a buster during something like patch, or to manage auto-heavy phases of the fight, without losing any MP or GCDs from either healer

Honestly 5% is probably being wayyyyyy too generous. And even then, it's not like Hydatos is, like, challenging or anything. It's just a grind. A monkey could do it. A monkey could not do UwU. If SE wants the game to continue succeeding and making money, they need to add more content a monkey could do. Most of the playerbase is too fucking stuck up their own asses, smelling their own farts and talking about how gay they are to actually devote any time getting good at the game. Keep gating them out of content and they'll go find some even easier MMO. Whatever Blizzard replaces WoW with, probably.

the burn is fucking awful garbage because the monsters are so huge in the final pull that they never want to play nice with each other and clump up well for aoe. feels like one of those faggot giant worms is always off to the side where i cant hit it with my aoes with everything else.

It will take you a couple weeks if you're not poopsocking it now, assuming you want to do a weapon (which you do because what the fuck is the point if you don't). t. someone doing a weapon and not poopsocking it who took a couple weeks to get to hydatos and I was borderline poopsocking it in pagos.
However if your argument is that Eureka is good content because of nerfs that came several patches after the content released then your argument is a pretty fucking weak one. The point is that we're getting an unenjoyable poopsock grind slog in each patch in SB instead of acceptable content that we got in ARR or HW patches

It's a fucking Au'ra

>Honestly 5% is probably being wayyyyyy too generous.
So your numbers are just pulled straight out of your ass?
You do realize anyone who has cleared savage can attempt ultimate right? And savage clears are far higher than 5%. Meanwhile we have empirical data on Eureka clears and literally only 12% of the playerbase can enter Hydatos. It's dead fucking content carried solely by the fact that it's designed to have RNG on RNG on RNG on RNG on RNG to keep the few people who do it inside indefinitely.

I'm laughing so hard but you're right

2 lines of dialog change. it will be the same for CT if it does come up, which it looks like it's gonna.

Yoshi has said that the FFXV event and the Rathalos event are noncanon

If Eureka didn't have a relic weapon tied to it, nobody would have kept playing it.

I’m doubling down because I’m correct you fucking monkey. There’s a reason why every top scholar player this tier uses or looks for opportunities to use aetherpact. And like I said before, when used during auto heavy sections of the fight, you don’t need fairy heals on the rest of your party (which should largely be covered by whispering dawn or your cohealer anyway). Speed running with Selene would be almost impossible without aetherpact, but I guess every SCH in the top 10 statics this tier is wasting their time using it right?

The fact that you are the one doubling down here with no argument just tells me how much of a casual shitter you actually are.

We're getting the second part of the MSQ before the Tokyo fanfest right?

That's not true, since Thancred also tells you in the MSQ doesn't he?

No

It really is true though. Stormblood's MSQ was great until the fucking end. A bit past that it started getting a bit better.

Omega was a major disappointment in terms of story and battles. Alexander and Bahamut actually felt like raids instead of platform fighting.

The only good thing that came out was the Ivalice raid series. Which is sad because it's 2nd tier end game.

Situational at best, and if you're using pact after a buster you might as well be using WD as your only recovery after a huge aoe. Yes, that shit helps, but it's padding at best. It's by no means useless, but it's also not particularly impactful.

More importantly though, this is only ever relevant in less than 1% of content, other than having some minor utility in your daily roulette on pulls. I'll also remind you that the primary point of the original post I made was more to the fact that these skills are all boring or literally just removing interactions. In most cases your flashy new scholar skills don't lead to you doing more interesting things, more intricate combos or w/e, it's pressing a button where you previously had to press several, with a modicum of timing involved. Pact is in effect does little more than buy you time for an extra broil. Whoopdiefuckingdo.

Yes, and that reason is called optimizing and maximizing resources, not because "omg le aetherpact is so powerful zomg we must use it moar!?" Again, you're just being a retarded faggot desperately moving the goalposts after you got called out on your bullshit.

>but I guess every SCH in the top 10 statics this tier is wasting their time using it right?

LIterally everything besides physic, WD, and succor is "only ever relevant in less than 1% of content"

Reminder that you are the retard who said aetherpact is next to useless, and are now resorting to “hur dur moving goalposts” like the hypocritical imbecile that you are. You even said it your fucking self that it’s about optimising and maximising resources. The fact that aetherpact saves you effectively an aether or gcd every time you use it (for you and often your cohealer simultaneously) means that it is a powerful healing tool. More powerful than excog, lustrate, adlo etc, as they cost resources. Appreciating the strength of aetherpact is literally the sign of how good a scholar (or healer in general) someone is.

Also if you weren’t so completely fucking useless at the job you would know you can use aetherpact in dungeon pulls to freely dps.

which concepts? aoe 3 packs then a boss? yes, it would be better but not by much.

The next likely crossover, after Nier anyway, is probably FF7. They can just pull an FFT and say 'Cloud was summoned to Eorzea during the time he was lost in the Lifestream' or some shit like that. Cause you KNOW it's gonna be Cloud. Though they probably add Tifa's outfit to the cash shop, because they'd be crazy if they didn't.

That said, I've been saying for years they should add the FFXI racial gear sets to the shop, and we still don't have em, despite plenty of other armor pieces being ported over (like, literally who gave a fuck about Kirin's Osode?). Mithra outfits on Miqo'te bodies? License to print fucking money.

>imagine caring about BIS at the end of expansion
>imagine going further and relying on RNG to give you better stats
Anyone willing to use the Hydatos weapon for anything other than glamour is just straight retarded. I honestly don't think there should have been any RNG with this weapon but hey it wouldn't be Diadem's child if they didn't somehow bring back the Emergency Mission RNG weapons now would it. Anyways what others have said is right, regardless of how BiS your weapon is you spent an ungodly amount of time for a glamstick when the Savage weapon was enough. What are you gonna do with that BiS user? Finish Savage only slightly faster? Be like anyone else who just waits for the tome weapon and level with it for a good chunk of ShB? Doesn't help that the Hydatos weapons look like shit too, as shitty as Pagos was of a region did it give us some of the best looks.

Jesus Christ...it's gated content and yes it makes sense in the scope of the story what quests you do but they don't have to all tie in at the sametime just because you missed a Blacksmith quest.

Every MMO has done this. It's like saying well shit it's kind of weird to speak to the Lich king in WoW at so and so dungeon because I killed him. No shit they made that dungeon for that specific content it doesn't mean the story is in shambles.

I would say an upgrade to ARR would be nice though.

FF7.. Of course, How could it not be Cloud? Besides, the game will no doubt have a FF7 crossover to promote the remake. Just wondering what we'll get. Buster sword? His ex-soldier outfit?

>I'll also remind you that the primary point of the original post I made was more to the fact that these skills are all boring or literally just removing interactions.

I'm the biggest XIfag and I'd love a lot of XI sets brought over, but anyone who wants something added to the fucking cash shop instead of wanting them in the game is literally a fucking lobotomy patient.

Let's be real man. You know they'd never give them for free. You know as well as I do that people'd pay out the nose for the Mithra outfit, and maybe the Hume one too (game has a serious lack of good shorts). It'd be nice if they put them into something else (Eureka 2.0 or something) but they'd be fools if they did. Mithra racial gear in FFXIV is literally a multi-million dollar idea.

This is just a blatant lie.

No it wasn't. The story while great for the most part was a complete disaster at the end. Zenos motivation was completely fucking retarded.

The only good moments in Stormblood's story was with Raubahn and Fedora (yes I said it Fedora). Shinryu was great and all but post patches weren't that interesting jumping back and forth between Doma and Ala mhigo was tiring. Then people dying and coming back.

The omega raid was not great either. I'll only give it to Stormblood in that it had probably one of the best dungeons in the game so far. Along with Ivalice. Also, to even make this expansion worse they give you a trash job that has been hyped by the fan base for a long time and they demolished it. Speaking about BLU of course

It's common knowledge. She doesn't even do the fights.

>Reminder that you are the retard who said aetherpact is next to useless
Right, and if you actually read that sentence properly rather than ignoring half the words, you'd do a better job in this argument we're having.
>and are now resorting to “hur dur moving goalposts” like the hypocritical imbecile that you are.
Again, your failure to read is no fault of mine. Still comical that someone making such blatant cognitive errors dares speak of imbeciles.
>You even said it your fucking self that it’s about optimising and maximising resources.
Recognizing this, most non-retarded people would realize that maybe they misunderstood something important earlier in the dialogue, and had been sperging out over their own mistakes. Not you though! You double down! Double down HARRRRD!
>The fact that aetherpact saves you effectively an aether or gcd every time you use it (for you and often your cohealer simultaneously) means that it is a powerful healing tool. More powerful than excog, lustrate, adlo etc, as they cost resources
And in practice, this translates to one broil, two if you're lucky. All that fancy drivel, and you get one broil. By no means worthless, but again, whoopdiefuckingdoo.

>Also if you weren’t so completely fucking useless at the job you would know you can use aetherpact in dungeon pulls to freely dps.
Another retarded strawman completely unrelated to the point at hand. Are you going to make a habit of including one at the end of every post or are you quite done? Even in dungeon pulls the end result is the same; one broil.

I hope you're nowhere near as bad at your class as you are at arguing about it, because good lord you're a fucking dumpster fire, and I'd feel bad for whoever has been carrying your ass while you masturbate over what real players do.

Sure if you say so but comparing Stormblood to Heavensward. Heavensward is just superior.

Is some fucking retard seriously trying to argue that a 480 potency off GCD regen with no mana cost is bad?
do you realize that regen is 150 potency and costs like 800 MP right?

At least her guides are fucking concise instead of her rambling on for half a fucking hour about nothing like MrShitty.

"Hey guys, MrHappy here and in this video I'll spend the next half hour reading a letter from the developer you could have read in 5 minutes, and then make a bunch of retarded wild assumptions and predictions which are always completely fucking wrong."

>She doesn't even do the fights.
Is she not the Highlander in the videos? The one that has her name?

>they give you a trash job that has been hyped by the fan base for a long time and they demolished it. Speaking about BLU of course
I lowered my expectations the first time Yoshida claimed the job wouldn't work in the MMO format that XIV follows, which was said somewhere around one of ARR's post-patches if I'm recalling correctly. That and these threads' resident epic shitposters crowing the job would have all skills locked behind quests like every other job or wouldn't have any useful skills for the sake of balance, then heel-turning to begging for a more standard job to take to endgame when we got anything-goes-but-it's-limited.

Look at it this way- when her guide for O12S was up her static was still progging O11 on stream.

Widargelt it's a fucking shame he wasn't brought in mentioned or even cameo'd in the SB MSQ another point to mention on how bad SB was.

>It's been like five years
>/vg/ guideshitter trash are still arguing over their favorite eceleb

The job does have skills locked behind quests and doesn't have any useful skills besides 1 (which is what everyone was saying from the beginning)

Who will win? Shota, Bara or everyone else laughing at them?

Whoever wins, we lose. These threads will get far, far worse.

>The job does have skills locked behind quests
It requires you to learn them before accepting the quests. But expanding on that to give them a proper battle set and also let them learn on their own is apparently impossible. Please understand.

everyone but me because i don't give a fuck about the new races and im tired of entire threads devoted to shitflinging over leaks.

You could've at least put SCH/SUM being broken by them leveling at the sametime. You literally embarassed yourself faggot.

Just two more months until the battle system live letter, brother.

>The job does have skills locked behind quests
No, it doesn't; job-quests request you learn certain skills but you can still learn them in any order, your progression is only limited by your level. Double-check BLU quests on Garland Tools if you don't believe me, they all request after that you come back with a certain number of skills or a specific skill but none of them are vitally important to BLU as a job since it purposefully has no real cohesion. They're patterning it after XI's BLU to boot, probably HW's skillset will completely replace ARR's outside of keepsies like Peculiar Light and the instant-death skills.

SB brought us retard gauges. What will SHB bring...?

There are a few jobs I'm kind of concerned about. I think BRD is literally perfect and NIN is close. How the hell are they going to improve either?

1000 needles is the only worthwhile skill at that level.

Did you not pay attention to what's going on? The world is being flooded in fucking light....time to become the warrior of darkness to prevent that....World of darkness....you see where this is going?

We already know they're combining TP and MP

>nin is perfect
I'm guessing you don't play ninja.

Personal limit breaks i wish

Why?

HW was plenty scattershot. Frequently sending you back and forward from Ishgard's areas killing the pacing, and sending you on further macguffin hunting because otherwise you'd have just been at the final zone like nearly two zones early. Ishgard was often not the focus at all.

hard maybe

Because TP does nothing on MP classes, and MP does nothing on TP classes.

What's the best way to go about leveling a combat class pre-50? I got my DRG to 34 in ARR and left it there while I leveled everything else up. Do I just have to do my roulettes and grind it out? Even with the ShB pre-order earring this is just the worst.

TP is functionally useless except to limit your AoE capability for all melee jobs

What? The entire expansion was in areas related to Ishgard and the war, except for the Hinterlands which are still in Dravania.

I cant believe this spastic retard replied to every single post calling him an idiot with some asshurt comment. Give me a (You) too you sped.

Worst part of HHW was the random-ass side-quest to retcon the death of Nanamo.

>retcon
It was foreshadowed since 1.0, retard.

Here (You) go. For begging nicely.

Maybe its because i just finished DmC 5 but a devil trigger style mechanic would be cool. A ultimate mode you could enter with your job for a few seconds to boost something, and it would be unique to each job. Dragoon could go triple nidhogg mode, Warrior could surrender to madness, Paladin would go full divine spirit mode with wings, Summoner summons something even bigger than demi-bahamut for a limited time or something like that.

it gets much easier once you get to lvl~7 and start doing NM trains
much comfier too, I stopped doing challenge logs altogether at that point because I'd rather do world bosses and socialize and stuff than grind on monsters that take an eternity to kill by myself

Yep. Do your leveling roulette for the most possible exp. then potd if you can stomach it. Hunt log provides a minimal exp gain as well, and breaks up a bit of monotony.

>scattershot
What? If it wasn't in Ishgard's area of Coerthas it was in Dravania which was home to their enemies. Even the journey in Dravania was an attempt at peace leading to the first death of Nidhogg. The only zone that was a bit off was Azys Lla, which by the way was still in the Spine, and wasn't touched upon outside of side stories that came out as a result of Thordan's plan.

Uhuh, and Rhaubahn's just has that reaction he had whenever Nanamo has a nap, obviously.

Even if we are to entertain that bullshit 1.0 excuse, it still doesn't excuse the retardedly hamfisted delivery of it, it was simply terribly written from start to finish, and everyone instantly forgot about the entire Ul'dah plot that you had to waste so much time on.

Thanks my greylet friend.

Ultimate difficulty are great content, nice distractions, and worth the dev time.

NIN main since Gordias actually. About the only thing I don't like about the job at the moment is numbers tuning and Ten Chi Jin being kind of jank and doesn't work well for players with high latency.

I had a better idea and stopped wasting time on Eureka entirely.

>Uhuh, and Rhaubahn's just has that reaction he had whenever Nanamo has a nap, obviously.
No? But he was told she was killed. What the fuck point were you trying to make here?
Yeah, it was still fucking poison but again that was literally foreshadowed since fucking 1.0. They even tell you something is up right afterwards with the handmaiden reporting to Lolorito, and then revealing that for some reason she hasn't been reported dead.

>muffled SONIC BOOM

I'm doing HW right now, and all these sections where you just go "oh btw go to Ul'dah for 3 quests" break up the pace pretty aggressively.

>Cid and team have got a way for us to break through the tempestuous winds protecting Nidhogg's lair!
>oh we have to calibrate it a bit
>btw really conveniently Tataru got a message go to the waking sands and go learn more about Ul'dah for 20 minutes.
>okay now you're back we can go do the dragon slaying.

Some jobs use both though? PLD, RDM, BRD, DRK.

Any time, I know you refugees can get a little desperate for attention at times.

I wouldn't go that far the music in HW is still better than SB. Thordan's theme, Stone and Steel, Dragonsong, Revenge twofold, I can go on.

The story took big turns into "anyway here's Gnath/anyway here's Goblins/anyway here's Vanu Vanu" shit that was only tangentially related. The whole Sharlayan escapade was a sidequest for an attempt #2 at getting to Azys Lla.

PLD has it to gate how many spin-attacks you can do, RDM can't even really be described as using TP on account of the time between your Enchanted melee combos and your gauges being full, BRD only uses MP for Battle Voice, DRK is severely unlikely to run out of TP

Pretty inconsequential for all the classes except paladin I guess. BRD it's basically a cooldown inhibitor since foes doesn't have one. RDM will never use any significant TP and DRK is like a melee BLM in that it springs its MP around with basic skills.

>No? But he was told she was killed. What the fuck point were you trying to make here?
Watch the cinematic again. He reacts the moment she is poisoned, long before he is told.

>Yeah, it was still fucking poison but again that was literally foreshadowed since fucking 1.0
Which makes the writing worse, not better.
>They even tell you something is up right afterwards with the handmaiden reporting to Lolorito, and then revealing that for some reason she hasn't been reported dead.
"for some reason" being that they had no interest in declaring her dead immediately before capturing her killers, which they also talk about.

>needs need stacks of entropy to summon Alexander-egi
>entropy gained by moving in the correct directions like Suzaku's intermission
>need to move forward and back and then forward and back then go forward and back and put one foot forward

You can complain about the writing all you want, but calling it a retcon because you didn't play 1.0 and weren't as familiar with the characters is fucking retarded.

In terms of enviroment, have enemies clash at you, have unique designs to these enemies and bosses. Baelsars wall just flowed better also. Dark was just a fucking tease.

In a normal raid roulette in 2019?

I want FF9 content no more fucking Cloud shit we already have his goddamn bike his damn minion. Stupid materia all over the game already.

So PLD is the only one to get chucked by all this then lol

There is a constant influx of new players and even with old players it's a grab-bag as to whether they've touched Alexander before that or not
