How did Hien mange to survive all of Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood?

good fucking lord the textures in this game are shit

Splitting eu was a mistake. Game's barren.
>inb4 end of expansion
End of HW wasn't nearly as dead.

No, that's just Hien.

HW was also actually good, that factors in.

Not until we get access to the rest of Hingashi

And it's about to get split again
I feel like ShB will kill this game

Honestly, it looks like it. It's Yoshi's last expansion, he's been moved to another project. Looked at the savage and ultimate clear rates, 95% of the playerbase don't even do it. The game has become a glorified Sims simulator. And now on EU, it's literally unplayable outside of a few roulettes.

the game officially died when they decided to release ARR
whatever we have is an empty husk with 0 vision, leftovers meant to salvage as much money as possible from the blunder that XIV was

I think the next expansion has an entire story planned out for Ishgard reconstruction, but it's going to be crafter onry

My nigga Exdeath knows what's good.

Gwaffix increases were never promised, dropping PS3 is to help on the technical end

Dropping PS3 support brought a bunch of under the hood changes you may not appreciate. We now have TP bars on the party UI because we're not bound by 512MB of RAM, the character/object limit on screen has increased a lot giving birth to content like Eureka, world zones are also much larger in stormblood than they were in heavensward or a realm reborn, etc.

Attached: PS3 vs PS4.gif (1000x563, 681K)

In terms of textures you jokester.

It's the price to pay if it keeps more generic thav glam sluts out, I'm sorry user.

Is Eureka meant to be a good thing?

Did people actually enjoy it?

they are doubling ram usage in shadowbringers as well, right now it caps out around 2gb

Funny thing is that here on Odin I don't remember last time seeing so many people running not on a patch day. PF is dead though.

People played it regardless of whether it was only for the carrot-on-a-stick of a relic weapon, or elemental armors. Square chalked it up as a success overall and more Diadem-like content is planned for ShB

>Looked at the savage and ultimate clear rates, 95% of the playerbase don't even do it.
That's almost always been the case though, high-end content is pretty niche as far as XIV's playerbase goes.

The other big game by his BD was in development since Heavensward, fuck off. I'm so tired of retarded armchair Square Enix experts that think they know what they're talking about but they don't. Stop posting forever.

running around*

They thought they would keep their word and give us a texture pack after dropping DX9.

Diadem was actually reasonably fun. If they abandon everything that eureka added to shit up the formula into a torturously boring grind, what they do might be good.

it's not for everyone but there are some people that enjoy it.

Eh, Diadem is different from Eureka. There is no secondary progression system, it includes crafters+gatherers, you're chasing after pink
set gear that drops from NMs instead of doing 4 zones worth of stuff for 1 weapon

He might step down from one of his positions like he talked long time ago, but no way he will stop working on ffxiv.

It sure explains why SB is so shit.

He said that he wants to become a full time director instead of being a director+producer. But he hasn't found anyone yet that he thinks is good enough to be his replacement producer.

No, it doesn't, and it isn't.
Maybe you should stop coming daily to these threads to complain about the game you don't even play.

Oh. Then you're probably right user.

XIV threads are a notorious circlejerk where the same ~20 opinions are regurgitated ad infinitum, typically amounting to "the game will die aaaaaaany minute now". Armchair-developers complaining that what they want would be so simple to program, and inadvertently exposing they have no idea of how the game client ticks, let alone its servers; endless crying about the cash-shop that only has a handful of items worth buying in the first place, and most of it is stuff that was free from previous events and wouldn't be obtainable by newer players otherwise; and all the playing-pretend that everyone in the thread isn't addicted to a skinner-box dress-up game that's more compelling than most other MMOs on the market by virtue of the dumbing-down across expansions being kept to a minimum, with all base gameplay from ARR relatively intact and choreographed combat encounters becoming more elaborate as time goes on.

So basically it's an MMO thread.

Sure is a lot of assuming going on there. I'm not in most of these threads, I just dropped in here before logging on.
Stormblood's content absolutely was shit, aside from the dungeons. The MSQ just copied HW's skeleton point for point, content rolled out glacially and wasn't even terribly interesting, etc. Cutting down on the number of dungeons and making them worth a damn was a huge improvement, but that's all I can give Stormblood. It's shit.

Attached: uh huh.png (1585x807, 658K)

Really?
Most of what I see is "holy shit this game has absolutely no budget this is ridiculous, give the bastards some time or manpower so they don't have to recycle so many assets god damn."

>So basically it's an MMO thread.
yep sounds about right. just go on /r/mmorpg and you can find similar bitching you find on Yea Forums there.

>content rolled out glacially and wasn't even terribly interesting,
You reiterated "it copied Heavensward" seeing as it followed exactly the same patch roll-out and content drip.
>Cutting down on the number of dungeons
We are missing only three dungeons compared to Heavensward, two if you want to count Baldesion Arsenal as a pseudo-dungeon. Unending Coil of Bahamut and Ultima Weapon Ultimate are what diverted resources away from more dungeons, apparently.

you can be the richest MMO company in japan but still have manpower issues because nobody in japan wants to work on a niche genre like MMOs when mobile gacha is 10x more profit for 5x less work.

I'm aware. I'm saying that more of the same for a $40 price tag and a sub is a bad sell. I just wanted to go over what was specifically shit, even if it was a matter of not moving forward rather than actively being worse.

>We are missing only three dungeons compared to Heavensward
Yeah, and that's why I said it's an improvement rather than a problem. The dungeons for Stormblood are a good step up over garbage like The Antitower.

Because it's more challenging and rewarding when you succeed.

You can apply that logic to literally any genre of game, that doesn't make it okay. A game based on a perpetual service model shouldn't be struggling this hard to create content. We understand why it does, but we disagree with the decision handle finances in that manner.

He cute

but it affects MMOs the most, especially ones made in Japan. AAA quality MMOs require a ton of manpower and budget. Square Enix got the budget part covered, but not the manpower. Hence why they've been looking for FFXIV staff on their job recruitment page since 2016

I don't recall him saying it was impossible but I do remember he said he'd rather tie it to a passive ability like Enochian than to a piece of equipment, maybe ShB will give it to us with an Enochian upgrade or replacement

>A game based on a perpetual service model shouldn't be struggling this hard to create content.
Japanese developers, that are understaffed, making an extremely niche genre game, in a time when said niche genre is dead and mobile gacha is where everyone wants to work for, has trouble making content...

>“Based on the former 5th Business Division, the newly launched 3rd Development Unit has launched a new core project following “Final Fantasy XIV,” and has begun to challenge the next generation. The initial development of this project has already ended, and the development environment has been established. We are now shifting to the full large-scale development phase.

>The new project is looking for developers who will give the world something “interesting,” “fun,” and “surprising” together. We are looking forward to your application to challenge the worldwide market!”

I don't understand why are you faggots getting so defensive.

He's manager of the new division, but not director or producer of their new project.

"General Manager" means he's their overseer and reports to any higher-ups, he's not necessarily affiliated with any one project. The department he's in charge of is producing something but he's still the producer/director for XIV.

Even if PvP was worth half a damn in this game you'd still be fighting against people dumber than your average NPC. Nor would I ever expect them to make gear matter again, not after removing morale and pvp-specific materias.

Dungeons are boring. BA was a creative move and I look forward to what they learned from it.

I love it, it's my favorite content that has ever been released in FFXIV. It's relaxing to grind in new areas with a story to go along with it, and each step of the relic feels manageable but not too easy. It is a far superior way to do the relic instead of having to run old instances 100 times each, that type of content is way more lazy on SE's end.

Because tails. Blame the cats and lizards.

It's a new type of content, which is always a good thing.
The problem is how shitty the first few areas were, it actually got pretty high quality by the end. There's a good chance that the Shadowbringers equivalent will be even better

Yoshi-P straight up apologized for MCH this expansion. The rotation is easily the worst in the entire game and has resulted in MCH being the least-played job in the game. Just get it to max level and leave it alone until Shadowbringers when it should be getting overhauled.

You get used to the pattern, but it really fucking sucks if you accidentally overheat or do something like accidentally press flamethrower or unequip your gauss barrel. One mistake can set you back by at least an entire minute before every thing lines up again.

Lol.

Also, the risk versus reward for SMN is just not worth it. BLM has such a low skill ceiling compared to jobs like SMN and MCH, where you have to be on-fucking-point, it's just way more preferable than SMN unless if you just enjoy SMN more, in which case you are entitled to your (wrong) opinion.

nin is more rewarding and it actually takes a bit of effort and one you get down to it, mch is probably the most boring piece of shit job in the game because you faceroll your buttons every 60 seconds and that's it.

Fuck S rank spawners. True MVP are public hunt shouters.

That's one thing that comes to mind, yes. Any instance of double weaving is also unacceptable.

Who the fuck still does hunts?

A ton of people. Shout always gets flooded whenever there's a spawn.

Facerolling every minute isn't somehow better than a set rotation

shit is so mind boggling, they take it so seriously too

Almost everyone who isn't in any instance. People want their tigers.

>the character/object limit on screen has increased a lot giving birth to content like Eureka
Meanwhile every non-Eureka content tries to limit itself to 30 onscreen actors at any given time, because someone please think of the PS4 users running the non-performance mode...

I don't know how they solve the double weaving problem without greatly reducing the number of oGCDs each job has, or by greatly increasing the animation lock of oGCDs to force you to only ever do one in between GCDs. The former would make certain jobs more boring and the latter would possibly feel clunky.

You'd have to be doing it deliberately, it's don't stand in stupid and wait for it all to blow over. Timed encounter.

>BLM has such a low skill ceiling compared to jobs like SMN and MCH
you what now? I won't speak for MCH since I don't play it, but outside of SMN's opener the rotation is pretty simple (the hardest part is getting used to not smacking buttons to line them up with DWT/bahamut) and it has MUCH more room to deal with mechanics than BLM does, which is the actual hard part of playing BLM.

>and dancer bard 3

The funny thing about this is that Eureka still has serious culling issues despite the increased object limit. You can especially see this in BA where many of AV and Ozma's attacks just won't hit some people because there's 56 players in one place.

I wish these were playable instead of Hrothgar.

They solve it by, as you said, reducing the number of extra buttons you need to sandwich in by tossing out some of the skills that don't do anything beyond adding an invisible number, but more importantly don't design them in such a way that the player will want to hit three commands in a single gcd.

>three commands in a single gcd.

That sounds terrible user.

Japanese internet makes a huge difference but you still cant do that shit in a single GCD. Not like you'll be using anything other then fuma and setting up trick.

>b-but the rotation
It seems complex until you realize it's just three mini-rotations that are completely phase-dependent, and that knowing when to use each phase is hardly rocket science. Black Mage seems easy because LOL FIRE IV SPAM, but in a game that emphasizes movement it's the least mobile job in the entire game by a country mile, especially with how vital ley lines are and how easy it is to get completely fucked out of them.

Why the fuck don't they just register mudra client-side for fuck sake this shit is ridiculous.

Actually true. Remember Yoshi went to Australia back in 2.X and discovered Titan was hard when you don't have 0 ping, and Australian ping to Japan is not that bad.

They did alter mudras a bit at some point to make them more responsive, but it clearly hasn't fixed the problem.

Titan HM (before they patched in the updated server polling rate) was categorically impossible if you lived in Australia without memorising the fight and moving pre-emptively.

Maybe the First Shard version of Ishgard won't be a frozen wasteland.

It works just fine if you immediately cement your aggro with a move after, it's got a higher range than Tomahawk and the like. It establishes aggro if none exists previously since it's counted as entering combat with the creature, on account of you using a move on them and all.

Lol you sound mad. I guess the OF stopped giving you attention so now you're here

He's been doing this for awhile now.

What are you on?

It's actually a little alarming there are people that think Provoke/Ultimatum on an acceptable target does nothing, that's not how skills in general work with this game. Using Peloton on party-members as a BRD or MCH counts as entering combat with a creature and earning a spot on their aggro table if you try using it when another party member is engaged with it, for example.

It's only worth it for ranges outside of your ranged attack. Pulling a boss of any kind? get the fuck out of here. You're more effective body pullng and clicking Anticipation since using oGCDs is 4 enmity to the naked Provoke's 1.
And Anticipation is worthless enough to use it like that and consider it a benefit.

thing is hrothgar heads look a lot bigger than roe heads and they are weirdly shaped
the helmet on that kind of armor replaces the head in the model iirc
it just seems weird

You can use provoke on a pack of mobs that is very spread, they'll start moving towards you and you can just AoE aggro them and keep running. You'd have to tomahawk one of them otherwise and then wait for a second dor GCD to AoE the before you can keep going

>I really don't understand why they don't just make ear holes for helms and shit when it comes to Viera.

They use unique heads, same with hrothgar. They can do it but there's like hundreds of helmet models in this game they have to go back and modify. Over the patches they'll gradually modify the helms and add them.

And in true FFXIV team fashion, forget about that at some point and stop doing it.

Sharlayan shit is awesome, aesthetically the dungeon is a 10/10. Are people really that assblasted about gated pulls?

yeah especially since Eorzea is literally in the middle of a battle with the empire and the emperor has intentions to start producing nerve gas. Guess its time for the warrior or light to fuck off to another world. Maybe they will pull some bullshit that time moves different between the worlds so a long time in the first boils down to a few minutes in the source. Its Final Fantasy and there is so much shit they can pull out of their asses its not even funny.

>Maybe they will pull some bullshit that time moves different between the worlds so a long time in the first boils down to a few minutes in the source
They won't pull time bullshit, they're just going to disappear lots of time through events. We won't be heading back to the Source until like 5.55 so we're locked there a long time.

The entire game has a really.warped perception of time anyway. All the promo material for ShB portrays WoL as some punished grizzled old vet on the verge of collapse from all the endless years of conflict but in game they act like it's been about a month or so since you rolled into Eorzea on that carriage.

Or they'll just make the Garleans act utterly retarded, like always. The only reason Eorzea hasn't been completely trampled is because the writers make the Garlean Empire have the military wisdom of an Ul'dahn whore.

The empire needs time to prepare for a larger assault, and the First will have a stable connection for the WoL by the end of the .0 content to allow for other things like Ishgard, so they can get back to imperial business whenever they want.

Well the Ascians want balance so letting the Garleans win would not be in their best interest. Furthermore the emperor is likely planning to betray them and take the empire back into the hands of man once more. so the people at the top have political motivations to not kick too much ass at least for the time being.

depends on what face you pick. catgirl face 3 is always smiling for example.

You need to be more specific, but also when you're making a character use the different environments and rotate them so you see how they look in in-game settings.

La Noscea background, put the boulder behind your character. Now you have real lighting to work with.

>viera can't wear headpieces
What the fuck, why? And when the fuck did they say this? You can't even wear fucking glasses?

You need to check how your character looks under in-game lighting (there are test-zones for the Shroud, Thanalan, La Noscea, plus the inside of a Gridanian residence, and a toggle for night/day)- as opposed to how they look under the default aetherial lighting.
You also need to turn your character around to see how they look when directly facing a light source, and all the weird it does to their face.

The aetherial lighting also seems to increase the colour contrast. This is an issue especially in regards to skin tone; because I like my dark chocolate with a high %-cocoa, and what looks nice under aetherial generally looks terribly washed out under normal lighting.

Bard is the easuest job to play that has utility, so a lot of women and basedboys love playing it because they simultaneously don't have any responsibility and get to help their team.

There's like 1, maybe 2, mechanics introduced at a time as you go through them. Easy to deal with blind, maybe cause a single wipe if everybody is oblivious.
Remember them though, they'll come up frequently as you go on.

I think they genuinely didn't know what the fuck to do with Lyse as a character since 4.0 was pretty hamhanded in general about plot-threads and taking anything from the previous expacs into account at all. Way back with Ramuh and the Sylphs there was the hint that Yda wasn't really Yda from how both senses-addled Yda and her doppelgangers behaved, then 4.0 rolls around and she gives a big reveal she's actually Lyse courtesy of Papalymo's death and everybody already knew and it wasn't even worth bringing up.

Pretty sure 1.x did it but it's one of the things that got gutted.

And how are you told that information? Via words (lies) told by someone outside the tribe. The other tribes made up that excuse to cover up their shame.

This picture is all bad

this is going to be even funnier with the XV car mount

Go back to sucking Koji's dick Anonymoose.

>everybody already knew and it wasn't even worth bringing up.
this is what really annoyed it about the scions. they knew all along, but pretended not to know all these years. they didn't confront her about her bs or anything. i can understand the need for her to fake it since Yda was a popular freedom fighter and scion and her death would have decreased morale. but that wasn't the case

The best part is that Bushiroad has basically nothing to do with those cards.

>talk shit, get hit
>wow bootlicker
jej

Plus her hiding her identity doesn't affect us at all, since the real Yda died years ago so we never even knew her, its always just been Lyse. So the reveal has absolutely no impact, it literally changed nothing.
Now if it had been something like the real Yda died in Ul'dah back then and Lyse replacing her was a recent development maybe I'd give a damn.

Are you still forced to watch the cutscene even if you unsync the Preatoriaum and the other MSQ 8 man dungeon?

you install ACT and then give me all the cards because I'm the best

Exactly. They'd be like the Popori from TERA.
>DRG becomes a pilebunker
>MNK becomes Bob from Tekken
etc.
The potential for memes and jank by playing combat roles not designed for their larger frames is just off the charts.

You could just go in solo and test it yourself.

>fat cat AST in a form-fitting muumuu helping his party with the power of his Magic deck

Yes, I recently wanted to solo Prae for shits and giggles and was forced to watch the cutscenes, even if I was by myself.

>elezen faces
Just give up now.

Shit, there is no point doing them unsync then.

4 man? Balance and Arrow the dps, extended (Arrow/Spear Road).
8 man? Balance, Spear and Arrow everyone, expanded (Ewer/Spire Road).

If it's none of them, arcana it.

just use mods, that's the best way to make elezens look good

you'll need to post an example

Always parse your dungeon runs, and feed cards to the highest DPS.
Prior to unlocking the Minor Arcana ability which turn cards into a one-use heal/damage spell, don't be afraid to right-click a card to get rid of it if it'll squander a good Royal Road.
4-man content? Fish for Extended/Enhanced Balance/Spear and feed them to the better DPS (Arrow is also very good for BLMs, but only them). 8-man? Fish for Expanded Balance/Spear.

And if you can, between pulls try to swap into Nocturnal, give the Tank an Aspected Benefic, then swap back into Diurnal.

That's about it. The rest are tricks you'll pick up over time.

>WHM now has FIVE twirls
I wonder how many we'll get in Shadowbringers.

>(Arrow is also very good for BLMs, but only them)
MNK/BRD have no problems taking them either.

arrow is also great for sam though, extra gcds also has the effect of extra kenki which is further potency

Use ewer and spire for Expanded Royal Road. Bin them if you have expanded RR already
Always fish for balance. If you redraw and get arrow or spear, or if you draw them and the fight is about to end, use those instead. Try to avoid expanded RR spear unless Litany is up. If you draw or redraw one while you have exRR, put it in your spread until you use an expanded arrow or balance. If you draw or redraw a balance, spread it until you have expanded RR. If you already have something in your spread, just use the balance.
If you have to use a single target card, use it on whoever is playing well. If everyone is pretty hgood, then priority goes like this:
Balance
>BRD w/raging MNK w/RoF SAM BLM MNK DRG NIN RDM SMN MCH BRD
Arrow
>BLM power gap SAM power gap, MNK, RDM, SMN, everyone else, NIN
Spear
>same as balance except BRD is always 1 and MNK is always 2

Can you show a good elezen picture then?

I'd heard it makes them clip GCDs and burn through TP too quickly.

yikes

if you couldn't tell already this guy is baiting

Meme SS SAM is the only melee that has TP problems ever. Even thenthey can just get a goad

Depends, they're in a similar situation to DRG. Sure, more kenki is good, until it fucks a 3 sen Hagakure and either forces an overcap or midare and a 1 or 2 sen.
DRG get fucked on bufff windows for the rest of their fight if they get anything more than the expanded arrow.

TP is never a problem. The GCD thing applies to SAM but just see above. Monk/Bard give no fucks about TP and going fast.

Fast GCD speed can force monk to double bootshine.

What do you think random retainer ventures are?

No, it can't. That's somebody being shit or hitting lag spikes.
t. 1.66 GCD MNK

Regen effects =spread
Damage/Defense buff = Enhanced
Speed/Crit = Extended.

Yes it can if youre doing the looping TK rotation properly, but if you have a meme build your GCD might be fast enough to cancel it out. However even if you do have to double bootshine, a single extra auto from the arrow is still more than enough to megate any possible DPS loss.

Or Arenvald. He has the local scion angle covered and a better voice actor.

He's busy off fucking Fordola and killing Primals.

>Yes it can if youre doing the looping TK rotation properly
If that's happening they fucked up like 20s ago and didn't notice.

And that's more interesting than what Lyse has been up to since the war ended too.

Playing as an Au Ra, Hrothgar or Viera is dumb. It makes the MSQ make no sense.

Speaking of AST, I'm always surprised by how many AST don't know the Aspected Benefic + Aspected Helios + Collective Unconscious + extender combo for trash mobs in dungeon...

Right?
Those iron earplugs that Mimidoa gave me to stop Siren's song from brainwashing me, how the fuck did my Au Ra use them?

Too much effort, I'd rather spam Gravity and save them with oGCDs.

Too many AST players convinced that noct gives them more mileage because of the healing boost, when the HoT is many times more efficient.
In other words, absolute brainlets that don't read their tooltips or do any basic math. The same that don't AOE on fuckhuge trash pulls.

You pop off the horns of course stupid.

The cards just take time to memorize and learn. It's earthly star and celestial opposition you wanna pay attention to.

So endgame BLM is just keeping Enochian up and spamming Fire IV?

>dont have any responsibility except being designated as the baitcuck for every mechanic
it's fine though you dont lose dps while moving though so that matters :)

More or less. Keep up enochian, use your ice phase to reapply thunder and blizz 4 to reduce fire 4 cost, fire 4 as much as you can while keeping up astral fire, using foul before the second foul proc comes

And that means Fire 1 + Firestarter is basically useless now?

That 4.5% compared to Diurnal is really not even worth mentioning.

What the FUCK is with M'naago's neck

Everyone in the game has long necks, you just normally cant tell unless wearing unflattering outfit or by being an elezen.

She has the stance of the "You're a big guy" dude from that Batman movie

You'll still use them as Fire 4 does NOT renew astral fire, nor does Blizz 4 renew umbral ice

Called it a while ago, the trusts system will be like a gacha.
Expect an SSR Swimsuit Y'shtola by next summer.

Firestarter to prolong a fire phase instead of a fire I part way or to transition back faster if the timer allows.
There'll be times you need to fire 1 mid fire phase or you drop enochian. This is where Sharpcast comes in handy.

This just makes her another cat thot.

if you insist on starting off as a tank/healer yes please watch the 5 minute video so you don't waste 20 minutes of 3 other peoples time

there is a tanking video?

Honestly, healers can get away with doing any non-savage content blind. Healing requirements are super lax now.

...

I'll take new and clieless over established shitter every day of the week.

this type of mentality is why everyone in the game is so bitter and passive aggressive, you faggots snap so quickly

Are there really? I'm seeing way more RDMs and Bards are pretty underappreciated to be fair

You're already wasting time playing video games, faggot. If someone is new, let them learn. Only expert dungeons have any sort of mechanic that might be cause for concern. AV has no where near the bite it once did.

Just check FFlogs
they are the most played job
fflogs.com/zone/statistics/25#aggregate=amount&dataset=80

most parsed doesn't necessarily mean most played. I imagine only a small subset of the game parses, let alone uploads their parses to fflogs
