Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers

I just saw a sprout WAR die in a roulette because a SAM told him to do bigger pulls :(

Don't main SMN but I hope it gets deleted

MRD* not WAR

I love being tank because I can say NO to fags like that. And if they pull, I let them die.

Don't bully WAR, he's special.

It's worth playing just for the story and job design alone, but no most of the game won't be anything like it was at its peak. You can't really replicate how MMOs were back then anymore. Most early zones will be totally empty, although when you do bump into a regular player they'll probably invite you to a LS and try to get to know you and help you out. What's left of the community is extremely welcoming. Just make sure you start on the Asura server because that's the only one with a good amount of people anymore.

I feel like with enough dedication a dev could force it, but the game likely wouldn't catch on.

Any game like that would have a small, very dedicated community. Just like MMOs had pre-WoW when they were a niche genre for super autists. But nowadays getting anything less than WoW numbers is considered a failure.

I hope we go to Ilsebard after Shadowniggers.

a dev would have to keep their game under NDA for its entire life to force it

If tank is still mrd does sam even have aoe?

pay them $10 to get to level cap

It's a shame. Every time XIV tries to do throwbacks to that kind of design it's usually semi-good but with some sort of fuckup. Even the new Easter quest is a bit like this, but they made the puzzle piss easy with the map being hard to actually line up with the in-game map instead of making a series of quality puzzles with a proper map. Eureka could easily have been a little slice of old-school MMO inside the bigger game, but they made even on-level enemies a bitch to kill and gave you nothing to do BUT to kill instead of making a big zone full of enemies of varying levels to a wide degree with tons of unmarked quests, objectives, and stuff for all jobs to do. If they ever take another shot at Eureka proper, I want them to reuse the 1.0 assets and make an oldschool mini mmo inside the game.

nah lol

PoTD after daily roulettes

They still have Fuga, but it's honestly pretty weak for how much TP it costs, especially compared to Overpower.

$10 to save 40 hours of your life user. Choose.

>If they ever take another shot at Eureka proper, I want them to reuse the 1.0 assets and make an oldschool mini mmo inside the game.
That's exactly what they were trying to do with Eureka, but the problem is that XIV's gameplay style doesn't work with that kind of game. Old school MMOs were much slower and more methodical, focused on giving you time to chat with and plan strategy with your team. XIV's gameplay style is too fast and hectic. You can't get to know the people with your with because you need to get out your next GCD in 2.5 seconds and then when the HP sponge monster is dead you need to snag another to keep your chain up.

Is there a way to still play through the class stories even if you buy the level boost? Only thing that's kept me from doing it.

Don't worry, we won't.
We'll go to all the other shards remaining for 6.0, 7.0 is on the moon, and 8.0 is The Void. Prease Enjoy.

No cross server anything or party finding. Everything MUST be done by finding players.
Very few instances.
Horizontal design above all else.
Gear that has a ton of different effects and customizes into various builds with different effectiveness for different content, meaning there's no definitive min-max strategy.
Systems that are SaGa levels of complex and unexplained, all of it being obfuscated by several layers of bullshit in the code.

It's possible.
It's just obscenely difficult.

When will a job actions preview of Shadowbringers be shown?

Paladin, Gunbreaker, Red Mage. Samurai ruined it with only being half a kimono

During the 3 hour live letter in May

They don't have to change the combat system to change that. They just need to implement new systems alongside that and create new objectives besides killing monsters. The fact that there's no Hand/Land content in Eureka at all is a huge mistake.

They could easily have made Eureka into a series of maps that have multiple mini-dungeons within them that are non-instanced via the repeatable quest and little purple circle encounter system the game already uses. They could have made unmarked questlines like the ones already in the game, puzzles, esoteric bullshit, equips that only help in certain ways so there's no single "best" option, etc. It just wasn't something that fit with their time and budget, so instead they made a terrible facsimile of an old MMO.

may is when we get job adjustment announcements so then

POST NIPPLES.

I bet they'll just upgrade SMN's res to involve Phoenix instead of it being an egi or demi

He means recreating 1.0's battle system, which was much much slower and closer to XI than 2.o is. 1.0's original battle system was pretty much just XI's but instead of an emphasis of skill-chains and magic bursts you had battle regiments where party members could opt to enter a mode where they want to initiate their attacks in specific orders to create effects (Like having one member do a basic attack and then having a party member follow it up with a weapon skill would lower the mob's TP gain delaying their special attacks.)

Stay in your closet, you dead faggot.

Phoenix "soulstone" like rez would be cool.

Hopefully square can get their heads out of their asses and make my class do enough damage that meta trannies can’t ignore my purple parses in favor of green DRGs

I'm a DRKchad in spite of everything... though I've come to really, really enjoy samurai after hitting 70 too. dancer for ranged phys, rdm maybe smn if the summons finally stop looking like shit. Will try out gunbreaker and play around with other classes a bit on the side.

Your class already does enough damage, parse-fags are just selfish cunts and just want to have the best team to inflate their personal numbers because they're too shit to ever hope to get a decent placing outside of parse logs. That's why you have so many "hardcore speedrunners" begging and whining they remove aspects of the LB gauge because they're too shit to relearn a fight to optimize it for proper speedrunning.

The better solution would be to have FFlogs make it's main DPS leaderboard centered around raid DPS instead of personal DPS like the speedclears are.

You can just AFK for most of MSQ roulette, in some cases it's better than bothering with the other content.

That shit is annoying and I don't even tank.
If the SAM wanted big pulls in a roulette then fucking queue a a tank.

No it doesn't, BLM still out damages it in every single fight and it does DMG similar to a MNK.

But let's be honest SAM gets a bad rep because of that one image guide by that buttblasted tranny.

How does it handle dialog you have to manually advance if you're afk? Do you just stay in cutscenes or does it boot you back to game after a while?

The cutscenes autoplay.

>How does it handle dialog you have to manually advance if you're afk?
Oh shit, you haven't been there for a while, have you? All cutscenes are unskippable and it auto-advances dialogue now. 3/4 of it is just a movie where you don't even fucking touch your controller. You just go do something else and get a fuckload of EXP/tomestones.

I know it does enough damage. But it’s a community issue mainly. And at the end of the day, square can’t fix that themselves, so just go full retard and make it do so much damage that you can’t possibly ignore a SAM who consistently performs well.
Playing melee truly is suffering in this game.

>having a job crisis for the first time
Do I stay NIN, switch over to my secondary DRK and make it my main, or join the masses and go GUN

SAM gets a bad rep because 95% of its players are lobotomy patients.

WAIT

What's Gunblades Limit Break going to be? I just realised it can't be Rekukozen.

BLM outdamages everyone, as it should. It's a lot harder to minimize movement as a BLM than it is to maximize uptime as SAM.
Even still a parse tranny is going to prefer a shitty NIN greylet over a purple BLM/SAM.

>going into shadow expansion
>not playing a shadow class

Shad expansion belongs to the DRKs, NINs, and BLMs.

Reverse Zantetsuken

This.

BLM only gets a pass from parse trannies because it doesn’t eat up one of your two buff bitch melee slots.

If they leave SAM in this shit state it’ll just end up with no consistent playerbase, not like anyone would care

The unsubscribe wizard

>Do you auto teleport inbetween every cutscene?
Depends on the cutscene. Stuff that would auto-tele your ass still will, and you get the option to teleport to boss arenas if they close off before you get there.
>Am I at risk of getting kicked for going AFK?
Depends. In Praetorium you can literally just follow a motherfucker and nobody will even care so long as you at least try to hit Nero, Gaius and Ultima. Prae you might get kicked for doing jackshit. I've never seen a successful kick, though, most people literally do not care.
>Why the fuck did they have to make the cutscenes unskippable?
Because every single motherfucker was skipping them.
And now that they're unskippable, MSQ gives insane EXP. I'm talking an entire level in the early 50s and most of a level in the late 60s. It scales insanely well. It's the single best way to level alts once you pass 50.

I'm a NIN, stop whining about your damage you stupid cuck. Try actually getting good.

That’s not the point here? The point is that purple parse SAMs are constantly denied from any and every group unless they erp with the leader. The actual competent players are just told to fuck off in favor of someone who’s equal quality to 95% of the SAM playerbase anyway.

>He can't level 3 jobs.
Pussy.

DNC

>tfw new CD where your attacks leave ghost hits and at the end they all activate into a big attack
It sounds like wildfire except no cuck heat gauge

A SAM of equal skill vs a MNK should doing at least around 220 more DPS than it, which put's equal to or just barely below it in total rDPS contribution after you account for Brotherhood. But both MNK and SAM bring a higher rDPS contribution than either DRG or NIN regardless. NIN is a legit piece of over-hyped shit and DRG barely clings to relevancy with it's piercing monopoly.

>literally just touch of death from monk in WoW
bruh

metatards are always 'tards
That's never going to change.

Sick of being denied spots? Make a fucking group and avoid the 'tards.

I am no leader. In fact I am a 'tard too but a different type of 'tard.

Speaking of, I would actually like ToD back. Fracture, Phleb and Scourge too for that matter.

I'm going for WHM, DNC, or BLM/RDM. Unless they change how SMN works.

Its a cool ability, very useful when coordinated with other cds in a raid.

>I'm glad they're killing this piercing synergy shit in ShB. Yoshida said they were aware of that problem.

Agreed, I'm imaging that their solution to the problem is just keeping the debuffs but making DNC slashing and possibly making MCH blunt damage which already fixes the issue.

NIN already got it's kneecaps broken thanks to powercreep this final tier but everyone is too retarded to actually realize it yet. Probably doesn't help that MNK probably either the 2nd or 3rd hardest job to get good at so no one plays it.

You make other things instead and rework some existing ones for higher-level content because there are already way too many for how limited their function is.

Can't play MNK, we have one and they don't really play anything else and frankly fuck NIN/DRG, feels like you fight with NIN to do well and holy shit I'm bored of DRG.

Can't we just go back to double MNK?

Make them more balls to the walls bonkers with tons of adds you can blow up to flex your big dick aoe on.
Making them harder is pointless. Making them more like quick Diablo runs will at least make them more entertaining.

No I mean, how do you make them playable?

Serious? Imagine if a PoC read that shit you just posted. Think before you open your ass hole.

You're not going to be magically less bored if they throw in the split route meme. People will always prefer one route, and it it's random you're just slightly shifting the rng feature of roulettes to a point inside the instance server. It's still going to be straight lines because dungeons aren't important enough content for people to want to waste time in them.
They could partly address this by having more 'hard' 4-man content, but that doesn't need to be a dungeon.

Alternatively let me use my level cap skills in lower level dungeons. I don't want to fucking touch most jobs below 50/60.

I'll rush through it as RDM and then see if DNC or any other class is worth playing.

They're easy to spot, you literally just don't reply to them if they're interested.

Can't trust healers

Welcome to echo raid
Please understand.

They're respecting the content the way the developers intended.

Why are these Hildebrand cutscenes better directed and more cinematic than 80% of the MSQ I've been playing.

>Keeps you alive more
>Takes less damage
>Lets healers relax and dps more

Tank stance swapping was a mistake.

This was based.
PoCs are based.

Because they're done for funsies with no oversight from marketing directors. It's okay to break the face rigs and do dumb bullshit.

No voice acting.

Gonna play Viera Machinist

So by your logic, WAR would be the worst tank since his stance does not reduce damage.

Meanwhile, a WHM/AST + a SCH can keep anything tank alive with regen and Eos not in tank stance.

I hope Gunbreaker doesn't have stances just to be different.

It'll have Ammos. Shield clips and DPS clips.

So do Viera and Hrothgar just have no helm visible because they are too lazy to make ear holes for bunny ears?

Regen on WHM needs to be a passive stance you can just apply to a party member, like Synastry for AST in pvp.
They already made reapplying DoTs more interesting (Thundercloud, Iron Jaws, Ruination on Tri-Disaster). There's no reason why they can't make HoTs interesting too, or at least less of a maintenance heal you have to keep putting up and using a GCD on just because.

What kind of hat would you wear if you had two long ears at the top of your fucking head

The same hats as everyone else, with two holes in them.

It's probably a more complicated version of that. Headgear does a better job of taking racial variation into account than chestpieces do, with ears being specifically accounted for in design instead of being permitted to clip all over the place.

If you haven't already realized that Yoshida is a habitual liar and everything out of his mouth is pure bullshit, then you're either new or retarded. Just look at BLU, dude. Every single excuse he gave to justify the limited shit was proven to be a flat out lie once the job actually came out.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

So then why is it okay for SCH to basically already have that right now with Eos autocasting Embrace without any of your own input? There's nothing wrong with passive buffs.

But having the Echo makes you a polyglot already. We need something more esoteric.

Nah, you're just bad. You have myriad options for it, the least of which includes teleporting to a target's target, focus target, or a dedicated party member. Lets not forget you can pre-place ground marker locations to use later.

Yes, because hats that don't have holes in them use a default look and turn off your character's real ears just like they turn off the hair. Hats with actual holes in them let you keep your ears, so catboys can use emotes with ear animations without clipping.

depends on what stage you mean, most of the pyros weapons range from passable to good

hydatos weapons overall are a dumpster fire, the only passable ones are the most boring designs, mainly whm/sch/smn

Just as expected from the master.

Yoshi was the one who decided it would be FF8 gunblades though.

That's how gunblades worked in VIII though.

Considering getting into this. Are there any advantages/disadvantages to running every class/job on one character versus multiple?

Division heads don't get to decide how their budget is allocated for multiple projects. They're not part of finance or the executive.

The disadvantage would be using alts to do it, since any job lower level than your highest gets an exp bonus to it.

You can get around the weekly tomestone cap by having more than one character, but it's not really worth it. Other than that, not really.

or you just use the right stick to move and cast between the lines to go back to where you were.

hitting up and down on the d-pad to cycle through your party then hitting square to get to the mini menu, than cycling through that to get to focus target them then finally casting AM is bit too much in a snap decision

it would be better if you casted AM and teleported the average size of an AOE 15 to 20 yalms with your next directional movement or even to a placed location like Shukuchi something that's not tied to another player

Not only can you do everything on one character, you're actively encouraged to do so.

Not really. Raids have weekly lockouts while they're new so you can't have multiple jobs with the absolute best gear on one character. But that's it.

the game is designed around just playing one character

trying to level multiple is just setting yourself up for suffering, and the only reason to level multiple characters is for more crafting specializations or more quickly gearing multiple jobs

You can soft target on controller you dumb dumb
You just flick down the party list, then press AM and you're done.

It'd be great if AM worked like Shukuchi. Could even give it a cooler animation, like warping from one spot to another.

what if I like RPing as different characters/races though

And, again, you can't just make that decision unilaterally. 'Oh, I don't feel like doing this anymore, so I'm just going to stop.' The lack of funding has always been the fault of Square's direction as a whole, and him being promoted isn't going to give it any more or any less money.

if you want actual RP just find a different game in general

if you just want ERP go to second life specifically

Which one is it? If it's not officially locked, you can sometimes squeeze in if you try to make a character in off hours, or at least you could in the past.

Soon you'll be able to jump between servers on the same data center as you please. So you'll be able to play with him if you wait a few weeks.

I can tell from what you put right there that it never could be. You'd have to almost triple the potency and it still probably wouldn't be worth it.

Such as?

You're an idiot. If he moves up in the company, he has more say about the direction SE goes as a whole.

You'll just be able to go to the aetheryte in any of the three start cities, then select a world to teleport to. You can stay there indefinitely, you just won't be able to access LSes, buy housing, or use your retainers. You can still shop on the market board though.

SOUL

Personally I'd like to have a 1200 or some other ridiculously high potency cast on BLM with an 8 second cast time that can't be used with Triplecast or Swiftcast. Something you'd use every other minute that would double down on BLM's turret nature.

Classic is going to be dead three months after it comes out when most of the players realize that going back to the game they played when their life was good at they didn't have worries doesn't magically make their life now less shitty.

BLM
Slidecasting is removed from the game spaghetti code, to compensate BLM potencies are increased by 20% or whatever arbitrary percentage that will keep its damage the same on moderate movement fights

option added to main city aetherytes
server you make the char on would be home world, hit up an aetheryte to visit any other server in the same data centre

linkshells bound to the homeworld will be disabled while visiting but trading/marketboard won't be

so with NG+, does that mean i can level new jobs with the ng+ story, or will i not be able to gain levels?

Lodestone seems to say it's not officially congested, but it is a crowded world, so you may have trouble making a character there. Try early morning/weekday or something if you're determined to make a character there.

any game that has a majority of players over 25 years old, like neverwinter nights, ultima online, everquest, various MUDs, etc

Mathmatically 1200 potency on 8s cast unalterable would make it so you'd have higher potency per minute by NOT casting it.

whats the rundown on bard what utility does it bring? from what ive played so far 3% damage increase for 2 seconds because FR lasts so littlE is kinda shit if thats all it brings, theres crit rate up and refresh but thats kind of about it.

Yeah, it'd have to have something like 1800 or more to make it worth casting over three Fire IVs in the same time frame. Eagle Eye Shot exists, so I don't think people would be too mad about seeing such a high potency ability on BLM as well.

There's your opener, which is almost exactly the same as your basic rotation; your "burst" is literally just 2 more Fire IVs than your standard rotation. The rest of the job is literally just optimizing your rotation and adjusting CD usage.

AST.
I would like a way to just choose what cards I want while outside combat. It sucks that after I queue up I can't do anything else and basically have to spend my 5 minutes fishing for a Balance. Maybe only have it work in cities and 8 mans. It would be way too good in dungeons if you could have a balance for every trash pack.
Since they're merging tp and mp I wouldn't mind seeing the spire turned into a direct hit buff.

It should tell the devs something when one of the most popular monk weapons is literal nothing

what if I want to play a game that was actually developed in the last 15 years

Removing slidecasting would make WHM even more irrelevant, since SCH can spam Ruin 2 while moving and AST has reduced cast times.

Emperor's new fists are the best monk weapons. There's no reason to ever use anything else.

>Hrothgar with Sphairai Atma

maybe try project gorgon, it's relatively new but has a more open ended design, though it still looks like it was made in the early 00's

It's kind of sad that most guides don't seem to bother talking about why the rotations are what they are. That makes it completely pointless to even read them in the first place when I have to study what the class actually does elsewhere.

You should have learned what the class does as you leveled it.

Why can't we get anymore decent long hairstyles? All they make is short ones.

windows 98 limitations

Clipping
It's also why the unisex hime cut has that godawful part in the back

What if I want to read what the different classes do before leveling them?

There are no hime cuts available to players

Then you aren't actually looking for a guide.

That should happen through levelling. Shame most dps level through HoH etc. now so they don't get to incorporate stufff as it becomes available and seeing how shit changes. And fights don't last anywhere near long enough in there to have any real sort of idea what's going on along with the removal of positionals.

Some guides do go thorugh detail, but they're gonna be huge google docs most of the time and still be poorly explained because of either too many words to say fuck all or too much irrelevant detail. And people love infographics for whatever reason.

On the other hand, I do love causing shit when people insist it's a rotation and not a priority system that's in place. Repeat after me:
The rotation is simply the priority system expanded to such a time that it repeats
somebody always loses their shit over it

Has to be ranged and not change your position. They'll probably get one, but that won't be at 15,

Do you think they'll ever make Blue Mage a full job? There's a bunch of ways they could do this. They could even keep the "limited" part of blue mage how it is and just give them the skills necessary to balance them properly. If the game isn't dead a few months after Shadowbringers, perhaps they'll consider it?

No they aren't. The only game in which they don't shoot is 8. They're functional guns in all their other appearances.

It will 100% be dead in a few months after release. Perhaps not as dead as it is now, but certainly enough for them to put as little effort as they can into the game until the next expansion. Your only hope is that in the expansion after Shadowbringers, they get even lazier with the new classes and decide to use resources they've already created for BLU and making it a main job. This is the only way I can see them making it a full job.

Because that's where all tanks get their equivalent. Tomahawk, Shield Lob and Unmend. It's by design so you have access to it during the first dungeon.

But there won't be blunt/slash/pierce in 5.0

>now that any extra resources are going to go towards appeasing the people bitching about gender locks.
You'd be lucky if they even address that at all from here out. "Extra resources" would be going to playing catch-up with their own deadlines and ShB output.

Gunbreaker and Dancer's reveals both identified them as Slashing dealers, the damage-typing and most likely the corresponding resistance-down abilities aren't going away

There wasn't supposed to be damage types in 4.0 or 3.0 either but that didn't stop them. Yoshi has been saying they're removing them for years now.

Because 90% of players haven't even done the ARR storyline and have no clue who he is, outside of other faggots talking about it.

I always wanted to play since I grew up playing final fantasy games but I don't know. Is the story interesting? I'm kind of turned off by the lighting and bad textures. I checked a few xivg threads but they're very depressing to read.

>Yoshi still keeping damage type debuff in 5.0
What a fucking retard

There's a free trial and you can get the base game for free if you have twitch prime. Try it yourself.

Which is upsetting since Hildi quests are some of the best bits

I don't even know why people want bayonets instead of vibroblades.

>Is the story interesting?
Plenty, it's the best MMO story on the market and the game's intended as a Final Fantasy game first and foremost, so the game's story follows the expacs.

HW story beats most of the FF titles

And im saying why cant their range closer be a dash instead of it being a charge early on?

What would he replace it with, since that's another element of party-synergy removed?
Basically they wanted Garlean gunblades and not FF8 gunblades.

Because a spammable gap closer is overpowered as fuck for a melee class in any game?

The heavensward story is good, rest are meh.

If you're a weeb that enjoys haHAA humor.

try drumming up an actual complaint instead of slinging out "weeb" like it has any weight

Because anything that alters your position will never be tied to the GCD and will have a cooldown.

Yeah but why? What's the appeal of bayonets over vibroblades? Maybe they've just never seen renzokuken?

Try coming up with an argument that is stronger than the absolute weakest of Hilidbrand jokes.

If they honestly had Bayonet Gunblades, the class would just be a fucking clone of MCH or RDM. At least vibroblades open the door for something at least SLIGHTLY unique.

Give them back the DoTs they took away in bloat cut.

Because Garleans use them and they're the most likable characters after the Ishgardians.

Gaius has a pretty cool skillset available to him, and that's for sure what you'd be emulating if you were to play with a Garlean gunblade.

I can't believe they nerfed getting into the crystal tower raids

Or people that like some goofy slapstick, what other storylines in the game are better? Don't give me MSQ because that is okay at best

Garlean gunblades are stylish and the NPCs we've seen fight with them do a lot more than just use them as bayonets.

It's a mess and in some parts just nonsensical. Terrible storytelling and the only people that defend it are the ones in denial and trying to justify their subs.

This. I want to shoot a big blue X.

Gaius, Fordola, and Ghimlyt's Final Boss help a lot with liking them over "gunblade but ignore the gun part because it doesn't shoot at all"

Fuck FF8, give me this instead

seems fair
They nerfed the FATEs forever ago and they're in dead zones. Might as well replace the requirement now that it's MSQ relevant.

Regula could even summon a fucking tiger out of his gunblade

Surely they can't make MCH worse.
Surely.

Better than the kind of shit they've been doing in the latest "FF's".
Be aware that it's a long, slow ride. If you want a Marvel movie story then XIV is not for you. The real "reward" for finishing the Stormblood Dark Knight questline is an old friend telling you he misses you.

You haven't even started the ARR story yet.

You're like 10% of the way to Heavensward.

It's fun in pvp.

I'm positive they can, and don't call me Shirley

Okay for real though, how the fuck do I Sam? I usually get one of my gay little circles, kaiten higanbana, then build my bar back up and midare some fag in the face. Throw in a few shintens, make sure I have guren flying out whenever I have kenki. I can't really figure out where to throw in hagakure, though. It feels like I wanna keep my sen for those kaiten midares but if that was true the skill would be garbage and I'm pretty sure I'm actually just retarded. Am I retarded? All I know is I didn't want to mindlessly follow that meme opener image further up.

The worst part is the waiting. SE has a track record of fucking shit up so them keeping us hanging for the combat changes live letter is torture.

I wish this game had a real dotmancer. Not the pet and burst phase SMN bullshit. Like a job that was keeping up 8-10 DoTs at all times and thats just it. No filler, just refreshing them and keeping them rolling. Maybe a cooldown to add a few seconds to all of them and a 7-10 minute cooldown that applies all of them at once.

>how the fuck do I Sam
You switch to BLM

Converting 3 circles to kenki to spam shintens is better than using midare.

repeat this to infinity

>playing SAM

I think I found the problem.

Running maps with fellow faggots is the best thing about this game

>All I know is I didn't want to mindlessly follow that meme opener image further up.
I mean you are playing the meme job so why the fuck not go all the way

oh i forgot to add the shintens, anyways always spam shintens and convert three sens to more kenki
shintens > midare setsukakka

If you liked the stories in FF6 and FF12 with their serious tones, evil empires, politics and intrigue, large casts and settings that mix magic and steampunk, FF14 is perfect.

It's not at all like the Nomura-brand FF games though (7, 8, 10, 13, 15).

>Woof Warmblood Battle Fantasy XIV

If I want to kill myself from having zero luck while every other faggot I run with are tripping over all the shit they get.

I kind of hope they raise the potency of Midare so Hagakure becomes something you use during downtimes and Shinten something you use to dump excess Kenki rather than the rotational norm.

3 sen hagakure is +60 kenki
kaiten midare is 1080 pot for -80 kenki
3 shintens is 900 for -75 kenki

midare also costs a GCD, which has a minimum potency of 150 and +5 kenki

so 3 shinten + GCD is -70 kenki for 1050 potency

quick maffs

Tree of Savior was sadly a disappointment so I'm stuck here.

What's the point. There's plenty of time to use Midare in a fight.

So then hagakure becomes near useless because you'll always want to use 3 sen for midare?

It's not at all like FF6 or 12, and no where near as good either. It's boring, uninspired trash.

You know what i really want in FFXIV?
A pet system

Attached: 1531813077690.jpg (755x743, 203K)

Just have the jobs do a damage down debuff instead but stack from other jobs.

do we really need to make a brain dead easy job more brain dead easy?

You have meditate for that. Shintens are way more fun than spamming midare all day.
Also because my retarded raidmate ignored shintens like an idiot and I didn't get to tell him off because his gf was in the same group so I hate everyone and anyone who likes midares

>no where near as good
at being bad?

You mean like the one that already exists? Or the other one that also already exists?

is it too late to get into this game?

>I didn't get to tell him off because his gf was in the same group
You some kind of cuck?

I mean defense down.

perfect time since we get a clean plate in two months

Remove yourself from the thread, dumb shitposter

Like in my chinese mmo, pve battling and breeding.
Not like useless minion or shitty boring chocobo

>"yo the fuck are you doing mate, use hagakure"
>the whole group turns against me
fun

hm does server selection matter and hows the end game

Yeah but there's nothing better right now. I haven't gotten my hopes up for an MMO for at least 8 years. Honestly the genre should be allowed to die so it can be fresh again at some point.

It's never too late. Gear progression is "obtain loot from the highest level raid" so you can always catch up, unlike some other MMOs which you may be thinking of where gear progression is "spend 5 billion upgrading your weapon 100 times".

Your own dam fault for joining a group of retards then

Raid night went well tonight.

someone should have the server split picture, pick any of the servers that end up on Primal or Aether and avoid Crystal.

>"hey you should try using hagakure for kenki to spam shinten, I saw on reddit that this is the best way to play SAM!"
How about try not being a beta sperg cuck.

>does server selection matter and
If you don't want to ERP then yes
Shut it tranny

>Chill dude. Play your own class mate :).

Nah I tried that, he went full "midare is higher dps if i crit" on me

yeh pretty much lol guess ill give it a try then

>If you don't want to ERP then yes
God No

is black mage in a decent spot?

Then out-dps him as a SAM then fuck his gf or leave instead of being some beta cuck who can't speak out because the guy's gf is present, holy fuck.

i actually was autistic enough to pug the savages on sam and compare our numbers but that was only after we stopped raiding together

pffft, that's why there's a rule in my group.
If you don't listen to advice, I will go onto your job and compete with you (real shit, no dummy setting no padding). If you lose, you have to listen to the advice or I will just straight up remove you.
It's great being able to make the rules.

This Play on Primal if you want to play with retards in here or on Aether if you want to play with normalfags.
Pick your poison senpai

Yes, unless you're not willing to spend $$$ or grind through about 200 hours of boring content to get caught up to people.

Black mage currently has the highest personal dps. No party utility, just big dick dps, though you won't really see it until level 60+.

You'll catch up in a decent time if you main a healer or tank, if you play dps then have fun getting into story related dungeons

>is black mage in a decent spot?
BIG DICK FOR DAYS

That doesn't matter at all though, because end game has a hard cap on progression so even if everyone else gets there first they'll just be stuck there while newbies eventually catch up. There is absolutely zero incentive to rush through the story or levels.
