garbage
Best FF game since X, best MMO since RuneScape 2.
X was one of the worst FF though
PS4 limitations.
It's a pretty good game though.
Grind, great music, trannies, a fuck load of story quests.
very boring early game content like most mmos
playing it on pc actually
PS3 limitations is a meme referencing how they had to downgrade some graphics and other things to make it work on the PS3. PS3 support was dropped so now it's PS4 limitations.
Soon to be Switch limitations.
Maybe storywise, but it's the best turn based JRPG in terms of gameplay.
>50/60 roulette
am i really supposed to remember the mechanics for all 30 of these dungeons
I wish I was a cute girl...... uuugghhhhh
You don't pay my sub, I will play how I want
I don't care you wasted 30mins because of me
My catboy is the cutest
No, you power thru them.
There's not a single mechanic in those dungeons or ANY dungeon that you shouldn't be able to figure out immediately upon seeing it.
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.
There has never been a dungeon you can't just faceroll through without knowing anything at all, unless you are legitimately retarded.
A massive slog to get to the good parts.
I recommend starting in Ul'Dah to make the beginning a little more interesting and relevant to the plot. In other words, start as Gladiator, Pugilist or Thaumaturge, depending on whether you prefer tank, melee or caster. You can switch to any other job once you hit level 10.
53~ish levels before anything good happens, then back to bullshit at level 61
>Unlock Red Mage
>Have no idea what I'm doing because I get like 30 skills
>Almost die in the "tutorial battle" quest
What the fuck Anons, you told me this was easy and doesn't require 200+ iq to play.
You're retarded, sorry
RDM is the easiest job, user.
I really wish they started those jobs at 30 or 40, because good god you have no time to learn them like other jobs, you just have a high level job with 50 levels of unlocked skills now
>Start in potatojewville and hang out with the absolute worst characters in the game!!
Jesus user have some mercy, next you'll recommend he pick lancer as his starting class.
>tfw they're going to ruin RDM to appeal to people who still wont play it
Ul'dah is the only city that's actually relevant to the story.
>play male highlander
>catsluts and middiesluts all gather around you and emote at you
>ignore them completely
miss me with that tranny shit
trannies
Game starts out slow
Your class won't start to feel complete until at best level 50, and at worst level 70.
Stick through it though, it's a pretty comfy game and the plot & gameplay definitely pick up later on
A extremely solid story made up of nothing but fanservice and homage of the other 13 FFs before it that can be played 90% solo aside from current endgame content and a few dozen forced-party dungeons.
Retard.
Nigger please, Merlwyb is a retard and we have Varis even saying that out loud to a room full of Eorzean leaders, and Gridanians are so focused on living in an area where they'll get raped by elementals if they look the wrong way or cast a spell at the wrong time that they can't afford to pay attention to the rest of Eorzea.
It's literally the peak of FF though, what are you on?
Game still looks great on both platforms though
[seagull laughing intesifes]
Lets put it this way: the entire main story up until the first credits is a massive slog where every boss fight besides the endgame is mindless besides "don't be here when shit hits". You'll be backtracking and going across the same areas a lot, it's a massive slog. The content for Level 50 and beyond picks up a bit more, though you'll need the DLC to actually really push on in levels or content extensively, I didn't reach the Heavensward expansion before the game drained me entirely.
Lmao
based gay barafag
>haha i saw an epic le meme video about the laughing scene and have no clue what it actually means in context because i haven't played the game but i'm sure it's just bad xD
>[intensifies]

waiting for your GCD to finally be clickable

A shit and long story
A playerbase that actually hates even doing the basics
A community of people that hate anyone that tries
Waiting in que if you aren't a tank or healer
if you are a tank you will have a healer screaming at you for take 1% damage
if you are a healer you will have a tank that will be screaming at you for not fixing that 1% damage
If you actually stay long enough you will see how bad the community is at the game and you will want to unsee it
meme's not even being used correctly, zoomers are teenagers and ffx released in fucking 2001. you could be born the year of ffx's release and legitimately post on Yea Forums now
catbois
thousands of them
as far as the eye can see!
Started as an archer. Became a bard and now there's a new mechanic that I don't get so I quit.
Can someone give me the run down on Diabolos? i got some friends to try the game and they love it, but they decided to be faggots and play there instead of my server for the preferred server buffs.
This, it’s the most solo friendly MMO out there and honestly should be a must play for any Final Fantasy fan. It’s the last FF since XII that has actually been really good.
And then everybody clapped
Zoomers were literally not alive when FFX came out.
The only people who could think X is even passable as entertainment would have had to have played it before FFIX, meaning they were 6-10 years old when it was released and it was their first FF.
23-27 is grandpa years in Yea Forums age. They're the same people who post on r/prequelmemes. Wastes of life, in other words.
so basically zoomers are anybody you don't like
???
>it's another bitter IXfag
every single time lmao
It's okay. They have screwed up low levels so bad I can understand new players not even wanting to learn. The problem with XIV isn't just bad end game, it is also terrible early game.
IX isn't even top 5 but it's a shitload better than the dumpster fire that is X.
Gridania is comfy as fuck though. Also has the best guild characters.
get a training dummy and practice your skills progressively according to their level. its the best way to figure out what your job does
It literally looks like mid-early PS3 game
tell everyone your favorite ff then so they can make fun of you even more lol
>inb4 VII
They played it first in their formulative years and think it's the best, this is zoomer 101
RDM has some initial confusion since it behaves differently to other casters but once you get the hang of it it's simple and intuitive. Basically you use Jolt to proc Dualcast and then use an elemental spell (Veraero or Verthunder), and if that elemental spell procs another one you use it in place of Jolt. So Jolt -> Verspell -> Verfire/Verstone (if applicable), it revolves around using Dualcast to instantly cast your actual heavy-hitters.
Switch version won't happen.
Compare it to other MMOs on the market
And the WORST AETHERNET GRID IN THE FUCKING UNIVERSE
>b-b-but the elementals will be mad if we put the aetherites in USEFUL locations
Holy fuck do not fucking lie to me you pile of leafshitters, I fucking know the elementals don't actually have emotions you just "pacify" (slay) them every season to keep living in the fucking woods and tell the Ala Mhiggers that the elementals won't allow refugees.
oh my god i just saw the shadowbringers collectors edition comes with squalls sword for the gunbreakers class. is that a new class or is it out? I NEEED SQUALLS WEAPON
Sounds like jealousy that Gridania only had the slightest relevance to the story in realm reborn and only because we had to leave the country through them, and Limsa will never have a plot relevant chapter now that we fucking ditched them for GROLIOUS NIPPON.
There's no way in hell it's worse than Limsa Lominsa bro
New job introduced with 5.0, can't claim it yet since Gunbreaker doesn't exist.
Where everything is directly adjacent to the plaza and aftcastle? Please. Gridania is the only city where there is no warp point inside the marketboard area, you have to fucking sprint there from like, the amphitheater.
Leatherworkers' guild and Lancer's guild are closest
is this game good?
Whereas in Jewda and Limpdick Lominge you can just warp to Sapphire Avenue or Hawker's Alley and you're practically sitting on it.
ill said second, ffx-2 battle system is better.
if its a tanking class then that is great. i've only done DPS and want to have a tanking class too. ahh i can't wait
its shit
i love it
X-2's one of the coolest versions of the Job System yet and I'm assmad it was wasted on an unnecessary sequel that's idol-bait to boot.
>Limsa will never have a plot relevant chapter now
And That's A Good Thing. LL was the most boring starting world by far and literally the only thing it has going for it is the sick GC gear.
gunbreaker is indeed a tank
i fucking hate it but i still come back for more
yep agreed to that, is incredible how fucking fun and active the combat system of that game is, and is traped in that cash grab, that said.... i think the story of ffx2 could have work a lot better as a stand alone game, and the story of lenne and shuyin is pretty touching
>monkey king finally drop
>lose it to a 1.5k pld while i'm doing 10k
I love this game
i hope they keep the trigger mechanic from FFVIII
likely not since that'd be cumbersome to implement as-is, but they said the job was designed around that kind of pull-the-trigger theme to capture the feeling
You should have died a few times to get the roll RNG in your favor
There are legions of turn based JRPGs with better gameplay than FFX. Granted, at least half of them are from Atlus.
>When General Rauban addresses you fondly by your rank in the Immortal Flames during your exhibition match

FFXI is better than XIV
You might say that playing Dragoon into HeavensWard really... FLOORS you?
Widargelt and how he was handled still genuinely confuses me, he's extremely plot-relevant to things going on in Stormblood and yet he's just shuffled off into irrelevance in job-quests. It's part of why I'm excited for Shadowbringers, with HW's general writing-staff on board for it and the DRK/Azim Steppes writer as one of its heads it ought to give DRK the same love that DRG got.
>the game will die before Scholar gets expansion-relevant plot focus
completely braindead game that becomes unbraindead for one month at 70, all endgame stuff is easy if you actually play video games. don't let the discord raid trannies tell you otherwise, they're shitters with bad egos
God I wish that was me.
but he's not being ironic that's exactly what you'll get with xiv retard
Watch this >youtube.com
Also, the game is slow as fuck until lvl 60-70 so if that's a problem for you, you should play archer/bard as they're one of the funner classes at low lvl.
based
Nym never ever, especially with tonberries on the cusp of having a cure
How can I get the highest reward on the Fashion Report?
As much as would like DRK to get time in the spotlight, I'm not going to get my hopes up. DRK is definitely the posterboy for Shadowbringers, but the conflict looks to be totally unrelated to our ishgardian DRKs.
Unless we end up full punished WoD which I would totally get behind.
If it's so braindead how come so many people are bad at it?
It's only easy if you have autism for memorizing boss patterns.
Dogshit since the game only really gets good after the point the free trial cuts you off.
>lesbian of the fc was actually a tranny pretending to be a woman
Most people playing it only play facebook and mobile games
To be fair to Gridannia, Uldah used to be the worst to get to the MB in, had to go all the way from the Weaver's Guild and snake around to get to them, the Sapphire Avenue aetheryte was only added in SB and even then it wasn't an immediate thing, want to say that only showed up around 4.2 or 4.3. At least prior to that it was a straight shot from the Leatherworker's Guild to the MB in Gridania.
What is a tranny?
Anyone I disagree with on Yea Forums.
I am good, the people I play with are bad.

>tfw avoiding everything so I can see the full trailer after the last fanfest
Almost there. The broken up trailer last time really ruined it, I want to see it all in one go and I'm gonna make it.
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?
The whole game is really slow early on. You barely have any abilities and the story is barely there until 45+. Honestly I love the game, but if I was a random who was unconvinced and used the level capped trial to decide whether I’d keep playing it’d be a hard pass.
The full trailers already out

>that fukken theme
X-2's job system is ruined by the fact that it requires so much grinding just to get into any job, and later jobs are completely irrelevant despite having better abilities than earlier jobspheres.
Keep in mind even the 'limit break" spheres are useless.

I'm playing scholar and desu I'm switching to rabbit girl when the next expansion drops because the alternative is shit like if you're a lad, I'd rather just be a sexy lady than some twinked out fey softboi since that's what all the healer loot looks like
it is true
like that black shroud map, yes it was bad but it actually felt like a world compared to the gutted world in ARR
hopefully it wont be like the flamethrower
>This thing is terrible, I want more games to do it
It's because he wants nothing to do with ala mhigo and the mhiggers quite clearly state that they have no need for kings and he has no desire to insert himself into it's politics or even try to fight for his home.
He understands that his mere existence causes more bad than good for their cause.
Nigga, the layout was more than shit and inconvenient, it was literally copy+pasting a bunch of prebuilt assets. It took over 10 minutes to cross it because the game didn't have mounts until the end of its life. None of the assets were properly lit either, so it was just dark, square forest rooms.

>Gunbreaker is stuck with gay ass thancred
Lame. I wanted WoL to be a GUN.
Well yeah. Not every part of the a world should be a hallway with a couple enemies sprinkled around. Some of my best memories playing MMOs are traversing shitty areas that are trying to both kill me and get me lost at the same time.
not soon from what Yoshi said about melee dps having 4 options while most other roles have 3 or less, it might be a while before we get another melee but imagine the shit storm if it gets added and it's another greatsword tank
good world with extremely dated combat and leveling
you will spend hours grinding quests doing slow ability combos until around level 50-60 where you start to get the abilities that make your class work
What about the slime you have to blow up.
Not anytime soon.
we need more maiming dps
I can’t wait to be a viera dancer to dab on all the uppity healcucks and buttblasted bunnybois
we need less
dragoon should be removed and you get banned if you ask what happened to it
Never, Thavnair is perfect for Mystic Knight and thaumaturgy isn't exclusive to Eorzea since onmyoji in Othardian territories have the same fire/ice/thunder spells. Also scimitars, since GLD/PLD only has a couple and BLU ended up not using them.
They need to 100% remove maiming, there's no reason why DRG should have it's own exclusive gear.
based but same for sch
can't wait to dab on viera and hrothgar with my hats and helmets hahahahaha
looks like you’re dabbing on yourself there
DRG gets its own because they're special boys, they traditionally equip heavy-armor and have no reason not to in-game (it's not the same deal as SAM not equipping heavy armor anymore since they went with ronin over fully-armored samurai), and they can typically recolor tank gear or add a spike to it instead of doing anything unique for them
High Steel set is /fa/ as fuck and lets you be a Tactics Ogre dragoon
i do not comprehend
>waaaaaa, a better game came out after I was obsessed with 9
no one cares. """"zoomer"""" is never a valid critique -- especially if you're talking to people over the age of 27 like me.
if anything, FF9 is more palatable to actual children because of it's design. it looks like a fucking disney film
I wouldn't be surprised if they remove Maiming and Scouting in 5.0 and just have all melees use Striking and all ranged use Aiming just so they have 2 less gearsets to recolour for each tier, with the justification of "it's less confusing if all jobs of the same role use the same gear".
WE FALL
Why didn't people just teleport the Adventurer's Guild and just walk up? You move to the next zone almost right away, and a market board is right there.

Figured as much, thanks
168 potential hours, this game cuts off all previous hours of the day if you log in at like 5pm
>Anything besides catch up on story?
I'd recommend going through Return to Ivalice 24-man since it's actually probably the best one they've done. Other than that, not really, just MSQ.
Other than MSQ, the Primal fights,Hildibrand,
the Ivalice 24mans, plus the Ultimate fights if you want to bang your head against that.
Oh, and the Omega raids.
So... you basically have the entire endgame to do.
So it's actually worth doing? 168 hours is what, 5 days? Can't imagine doing much. Guess I can just do the welfare shit.
unironically the only real Final Fantasy since XII
I mean, if you don't like doing them, then no they're not worth doing.
Imagine actually being hyped for another stagnate expansion that is more of the same? What's going to be the resource hog this time around? Another attempt at Diadem/Eureka? New never before features in the story that will amount to something stupid like the FPS Dart scenes?

I honestly look forward to all the people who only ever play tank whining about their queu times.
>all those shitters who have never touched a tank before lining up to shit up the duty finder with their level 60 starting tank
oh no...
That's a good thing, the game is easy as hell and playing tank is the easiest shit, it'll just make the game faster for dps queues. You don't need tanks adding 5% dps to do anything outside of brand new fresh savage raids.
how would you classify a shit tank ? other then the fact that they die all the time ?
In terms of stuff that actually matters? They don't hold hate and don't position/move well. That's pretty much it. For unironic autists, if they do don't do relatively good damage since that requires also managing cooldowns so they don't get their shit kicked in.
virtually 0 actual gameplay in lieu of a "story" that's generic and has no weight behind it, but also takes dozens of hours to get through to reach the current c ontent. Or you can pay money and skip it.
>play tank
>teammates purposefully ride my ass when i'm trying to turn the boss around to expose the backside to dps
every god damned TIME QUIT CRAWLING UP MY ASS.
depends on the content, but generally any combination of:
>doesn't hold hate
>doesn't use cooldowns
>doesn't have a smart use of tank stance
>stagger pulls
>small pulls when people have AoE
>big pulls when people don't have AoE

>Mfw I just learned how to not Tank in Grit 24/7 not to long ago.

The Funny thing about it is because I had to level Warrior to level 50 to turn my Retainer into a DRK I learned that Warrior is fucking braindead easy. You motherfuckers deserve your fucking nerf.
>queue
>trial pops up
>use darkside but no grit because you know you can keep aggro
>someone types "grit+darkside"
EVERI TIEM
honestly until you lose aggro they can shut their face.
I don't care what the tank does as long as they hold aggro and don't eat three stacked aoe's like a dumbass.
Well if you're main tanking you want to pull with grit on and then turn that shit off after the aggro combo and then initiate dick kicking mode. thats what I atleast do.
"I'm just trying to do my positionals, bro"
How do people get to max level and still think that attacking a boss' flank means they have to jog halfway across the arena to hit the dead center of its side?
yeah but drk can't switch stances like war does, grit is a gcd
Make friends. Make friends. MAKE FRIENDS. If you don't you won't make it to level cap, the MSQ is a slog until the first DLC.
What is "stagger pulls"? Do you mean like, not sticking to full mass pulls or single group pulls but mixing between the two?
That kind of reflects bad on the game and might not be great advice. None of the content encourages you to make friends or even talk at all.
I'am assuming it means doing the typical baby pulls. "aka respecting the content". The only nigs that have a problem with this are usually healers who hate being bored or DPS that want to rush through.
Typically when I'am tanking I'am in no rush unless the healer thinks he can handle it. but if I see a "red flag" I'll abstain from rushing.
I notice more people complain about tank pulls at lower levels than higher, it's pretty sad because I can't imagine how shit this game must be for anyone who tries it for the first time.
>stuck playing a shit, boring story for 30 hours before you can do any real big content or have fun bosses
>few hours in when you start doing dungeons you get autistic minmaxers looking to bumrush their alt leveling
i'd quit the game if I wasn't able to just go back to my max level shit. This game is terrible.
No, I mean "pull a pack, stop moving for 5-10 sec, move again to get another pack"
Just rush and pull every time, if you wipe, turn to range pulling individual enemies in tank stance.
It's not your fault the party sucks ass, make sure to remind them.
it's honestly more of a problem at lower levels, peoples gear are all over the place in leveling dungeons, people might be unfamiliar with their class, their class might be missing important skills altogether, whereas in say, Ghimlyt Dark I can't imagine a healer ever managing to have someone drop dead in a wall to wall pull, even if their gear is a trashy mix of old 360 and some 375 stuff they looted from the dungeon itself.
A very bad game, bad by choice as it apes WoW which itself is a very bad game. But that's okay, you haven't paid for it. Be one of the right statistics, the one that plays through the trial, sees how shit the game is and leaves it in the dust. You're gonna make a positive difference!
>do a double pull in low level content with geared healer
>they keep using their basic heal because they think only using their bigger heal on proc is smart
Gotcha. Sometimes it can't be helped, like in The Burn when you've got to wait halfway between two sets of mobs for one of the rollypolly guys to drop down before you can move on.
Another factor is if an impatient DPS decides to blow a bunch of single target abilities on one mob and pulls it away from the group, then you gotta stop the train, double back and pull the mob off the idiot DPS before they die.
RDM is literally the most braindead job to play, you might want to consider uninstalling
>it's honestly more of a problem at lower levels, peoples gear are all over the place in leveling dungeons
This. Half the time a random DPS is a better tank than the actual tank because they have max ilvl gear and the tank has minimum ilvl gear.
Honestly as an RDM player I would like to have some skills to hit for AOE just hitting fucking scatter is awful waiting for a bar to fill up to do a spinnaroony with my sword.
>healer uses basic cure during a big pull
>tank is losing more than the cure is healing
>tank eventually dies

I hate this shit, you know some retard in their FC fed them this shit, reminds me of the time a guy told a MCH to stop using AoE because "MCH aoe is really bad" like fuck off you lying sack of shit
I tried it when it was F2P for a week, a year ago or so. Boring combat, boring story, typical "kill 7 spiders" MMO quest design.
People say it gets better, but why should I play 60+ hours of garbage just to get to the (maybe) good part.
Two months of fun, grind and garbage after
More like 15 days of grind and garbage, two months of fun, and then the wall of trying to get into a raiding group.
the funniest part is that DRK can kinda circumvent this at later levels.

Everyone needs to get over there shit anxiety and level one job in each role.
It's an mmo with no actual end game, like there is endgame and it's difficult (not the most difficult in the market) but nobody fucking does it, nobody raids, it's basically get to max level after doing the awful cringe story quest that makes MMOs from 20 years ago look good and then play dress up in a city until you AFK get kicked from inactivity.

Ventures, bro. No reason you shouldn't be sitting on thousands of crystals and shards at all times.
That looks fucking worse than current WoW, you're just trying to cheat yourself by creating a bullshot, start to actually look at details, ignoring the rays that hide all the awful graphical blunders and it just looks bland and filled with jaggies.
Awful draw distance too.
Like only because it doesn't look cartoony doesn't mean it's "better graphics" wow has better graphics fidelity that your screenshot.
Don't you have a "We're going home bros thread #5738" to be in?
I think you meant AST. But the story shows that, despite being similar, they are very clearly different schools with different strengths and weaknesses. At this point they could easily make Geomancer a separate healer, though if they give AST geomancer abilities in ShB, then that's obviously out the window.
>If you criticize the game it must mean you hate it because you are a wowfag
This is why this game will never account for anything, have fun dragging it down with your own insecure delusions.
wait what? do GC sell crystals? retainers? plz explain
stop your going to trigger the trannoid into an autistic fit
>wow has better graphics.
No it fucking doesn't you fucking shithead.
T.orcshaman.
Send your gathering retainers out on ventures to get crystals and shards. Level 1 ventures for shards, level 30 ventures for crystals. It only takes them about an hour, and they get a lot per run. Considering how damn easy it is to get ventures, there's no reason for you to ever run low on shards or crystals.
what stage of relic quest do you need crafters for? I don't remember this

second to last step
Yup it does now, far better textures, far better optimized to handle them too, WoW actually used to run real bad compared to FF, but now WoW even beat them in that area.
Far better jaggies removal, smoother SSAO, better draw distance, liquid detail still shit for both, far better DX11 and 12 API implementations, lighting system was also updates but they didn't implement too much dynamic ones on BFA because the new updates were made mid a expansion, will see the expansion.
So yeah WoW surpassed FF and it will only get more noticable over time.
Thanks mate

I have 37 days played and I still don't have a fucking house because every lot is taken. Collecting/building your home is like 40% of the game so fucking stupid. The other 60% of the game is alright.

That was Microsoft moneyhatting Blizzard for streetcred. And something you'll never see on FFXIV with how deep Gameworks is integrated in the game.
Since when? Saw a friend playing WoW like a month or two ago and it still looked like ugly shit
>he doesn't know about the drill and chainsaw
>GUK
It is still ugly shit, he's just delusional and blinded by the cartoony artstyle.
t.unsubbed a month ago
I mean it's still a shitty cartoony looking mmo but technically speaking it has better graphics fidelity than FF now.
i've never seen the point of housing unless the houses are actually encounterable in the field/world.
same with mounts, i'll never understand why people make farm groups for the extreme primal mounts when nobody ever sees or notices your mount in any relevant content. Glamour I understand because you're 'showing it off' at all times in any content.
I've got DRK and am planning to level GUN at ShB launch. Is it worth getting into PLD or WAR in the meanwhile?
Do you honestly think they won't be shit? I certainly hope they aren't, but I'm not holding my breath.
Housing is for chilling. It's cool to have neighbors and collect stuff. Maybe its a niche but I like the idea.
Fpbp
Tanks are apparently being split into '2 tanks designed to be off tank, 2 tanks designed to be main tank' in shadowbringers so if you prefer tanking then it's probably best to have at least one of each 'role'
Watch Ishgard housing become not like the other housing areas, but a unique instanced house + garden you need to build up like Doman Enclave, which will solve the whole problem of lack of plots.
>Is it worth getting into PLD or WAR in the meanwhile?
why not? Just know that a big tank rework is coming and likely one of those two is gonna get fucked.
shhh, don't question mounts, that's how I get easier pug clears with retards who are willing to spam runs 100000 times
>broke ass fuck and can't afford it
The MSQ alone gives you roughly 1-2 mil added up over the course of the entire story. That should be more than enough to buy everything you need for that step.

Lizards are the ugliest race in the game.

Mounts are
60% Showing off in Tomestone Town
15% Showing off in the Landing areas of Frontlines and Rival Wings (then switching to a sensible mount once the match starts)
15% Showing off to the Hunt train
5% Showing off in Housing districts
5% for your own, personal enjoyment
that would mean they'd have to at least be born early 90's which isnt zoomer
You want to try that again?
i don't even take any notice of the appearance of anyone unless i have to pay attention to them due to being in a dungeon or raid
i just don't get who these people are showing off to
Are you happy with your new AF? What are you hoping for in the ones they haven't shown yet?
Dunno, haven't seen the new dragoon AF.
MCH looks good, hopefully it won't be trash to play this time around
looking forward to seeing DRG, I also hope the new SMN af isn't terrible, hasn't been good since the first set
Why is AF only good in even numbered expansions?
2.0 - All good
3.0 - All trash except for the new jobs
4.0 - All good, couple questionable
5.0 - Shaping up to be trash
MCH AF looks pretty baller and a big step up from the disaster than was AF3, hopefully the same would be said about the job.
They still haven't shown SCH AF4 but I pray it's not too edgy.
>blm
I'm kinda satisfied
The only time I notice them is when they're super obnoxious, like the giant firebird, or the guy who would afk 24/7 on his goobue right in front of the tomestone vendors.
Very occasionally, I'll notice a mount I don't recognize and think it's cool, but then realize it almost certainly comes from some content I don't care about, like Eureka.
If I had a nickle for every time I had the following conversation:
"Where did you get that mount/glamour gear?"
"PVP"
"Oh..."
DRG, SCH, WHM, NIN, WAR, SMN, MNK, BRD haven't been shown yet.
>happy?
Nope.
AST AF4 looks identical to AF3.
>4.0
>AF
>all good
DRG, MNK, PLD, WAR, MCH, WHM, AST were all pretty bad
I can't wait for the dyable versions to require absolute BULLSHIT to get ahold of.
I'm still sore about af3 dyables being locked in eureka.
Why don't au ras look as good as they do in fan art?
They barely take any time at all to get
Nobody does.
It'll probably be PLD. It was sheer coincidence that it became the defacto off tank this expansion. With the focus on "2 main tanks, 2 off tanks" it's practically guaranteed that PLD will be made into one of the main tanks, and WAR will be made into one of the off tanks. And given the way the community puts DPS above everything, it's likely we'll see a meta where the two "off tanks" are what everybody wants.
>tfw i read go near five like a total retard before actually getting it
>guy who would afk 24/7 on his goobue right in front of the tomestone vendors.
This is such bullshit. In one town, a guy had parked his fucking whale over a quest NPC, making it impossible to advance the story.
It's not just Au Ra.
Everyone looks like a fucking mutant in game.
FFXI came out before Runescape 2, so his point still stands.
Any amount of time in Eureka is too much time.
its entire kit is designed for off-tanking
i think they'll just bite the bullet and even though PLD is the traditional shield wall tank they'll make DRK/WAR the MT's and PLD/GNB the off's. PLD is also meant to be the 'easy' tank and it doesn't get much easier than off tanking non-savage/extreme content.
Brotip: You can use your numberpad keys to cycle between targets.
You can also use them to move HUD elements in the HUD editor pixel-by-pixel.
How the fuck did you come to that conclusion
>a guy had parked his fucking whale over a quest NPC, making it impossible to advance the story
Based false flagger turning the culture against whales
I remember seeing a guy going OOB in Rhalgr's and parking a mount over the tomestone vendors.
I've never seen something so retarded before.

There is a key that hides all player characters from being selectable. Its default is X

yes, gear should be removed from the game

Why don't "people" like you just keep playing ASSFAGGOTS instead of trying to destroy MMOs even further?
>using unchained with steel cyclone
Confirmed for not actually playing WAR
Thanks for the tips bros
here are some tips if you are new to the game
>ui
clean up your UI. Standard settings make the game look needlessly cluttered for a new player. Minimize the interface, hide needless information, minimize name display, things like that
>quests
ignore sidequests. The main quest line is enough to level up your main class. Blue quests open up new features so they are also important. Sidequests are only good if you level secondary classes and want some extra story/interaction instead of just plain grinding, some of them have pretty cute stories
>classes
classes/jobs are the same thing. Classes turn into jobs after the lv30 quest. (like Thaumaturge turns into Black Mage)
you can learn and freely switch between any classes and level them up seperately after doing their lv10 introduction quests. Same with non-combat classes.
Non-combat classes are actually important, fun and complex in xiv.
your classes determine your starting zone; Limsa Lominsa is the comfiest starting zone but starts with the least interesting story. Uldah is what most people would consider the "canon" starting zone storywise.
also remember that the game starts out kinda slow, both story and gameplaywise, but starts to ramp up at around lv30 (free trial lv cap is 35 so it should still give you room to experience it)

People look down on WARs because they're seen as the braindead tank of the bunch.
And they're right.
t. WAR
Could you stop posting this shit in every thread? Nobody likes trannies, thats not a controversial opinion here. give it a rest.
I hate people that do dungeons severely undergeared and expect people to be ok with it. Especially when tanks, ESPECIALLY WARRIOR, try to go through dungeons and do big pulls when they have less hp than everyone else
t.ranny in denial
I wish MCH had more turret focus, like with more of them or more skills using them.
First time I've posted that, friend.
>why do people shit on WAR so much?
the fact that its stupidly boring to play, I got it to 70 recently and went into Orbonne and I was OT, fuck my life, its the most dull experience imaginable, its reasonably okay in dungeons, but that's it
but people see 5 direct crit fell cleaves and mistake the big numbers for fun, I found the novelty wore thin very quickly
micromanaging doesn't work with smn already, let's not turn mch into a physical summoner
I meant that more so for the "are you okay tranny?" and all the other variants. I see that shit in multiple threads on Yea Forums. I mean holy shit it was probably pretty clever the first couple times but fuck me.
Also, I dawns on me that cuck has officially been cucked out of being Yea Forums's go to insult. kek.
People are probably just concerned that they might off themselves over the news still given that 70% suicide rate...

>every piece of art of them refuses to draw them with their actual proportions or facial features
So just like about every race in this game.

I might have given them a chance if it wasn't for the whole "no headpieces" thing. Wish they were a little less beefy too.

Grug need health for big pull, healer not health enough, grug need big numbers for more health
gw2 refugees?

It's a living hell, how the shit do people deal with this if they don't have a group to play with
WoW will almost certainly be back, it’s powered by pure recognition at this point and will only die after like three back to back godawful expansions, of which they’ve only released the first.
I did the same thing, never went back to dpsing. Feels good being part of the Master Race.
would classic succeeding help or further kill current wow? It's almost a conundrum to me.
That got me curious, are there some statistics or some such somewhere that show how many players play DPS compared to tank and heal?
I might be a war main but at least I'm not a drk tranny
>playing tank unironically
Classic isn't going to last, especially when all the bandwagoners realize that it's actually horrible and unfun.
DRK is a tranny job now? What is with you people.

I have no idea of the reason behind so much classic hype, but it’s going to either work or jackknife so fucking horribly that WoW loses even more base.
these threads are usually pretty fun until the tranny posters shit it up, its a shame, they make the general look better in comparison
I guess those ques leave you plenty of time to post aye?
They're somewhere in between sure but more on the lower end than the actual middle.

>AST is a tranny job
But AST is the most fun healer, why?
>all the fun jobs are tranny jobs
