Final Fantasy XIV team is working on Final Fantasy XVI

At least XVI has the chance to be somewhat decent. XIV's nature as an MMO guarantees it will never go beyond mediocre.

The XIV team isn't working on it, Yoshida is in charge of an entire development-division. jp.square-enix.com/recruit/career/contents/3dbd/

>no mooncats
Fuck you.

I doubt this, but it will be a spinoff. Main number, I agree with you. It'll always be bloatware bullshit from here onward. Crystal Chronicles remake will be good if it follows the GC formula. If they make a "smaller" game similar to Losy Odyssey instead of their 150mil dog and pony show including tours, clothing, private jets and VR hentai support they may yet live again.

Good, XIV is the closest to a real FF game we've had (aside from being a MMO) since XII which was on the fucking PS2, all the XIII games and XV are way too futuristic and barely have any RPG elements anymore.

>all the XIII games and XV are way too futuristic and barely have any RPG elements anymore
XIV has zero (0) RPG elements to speak of, and we just got a car mount with which we can fly around a supertech weapons development lab that even has its own spaceport.

The fuck are you talking about nigger? They were a spacefaring, high-tech civilization with mechs and android soldiers. The second moon was a fucking satellite they built.

By RPG elements I meant gameplay mechanics. XV is literally an action game.

>we just got a car mount with which we can fly around a supertech weapons development lab that even has its own spaceport.
Every FF games have sci-fi elements. Even FF1 had a spaceship with robots. The difference is that most of them were fantasy games with sci-fi elements (which XIV) while the latest ones were sci-fi games with fantasy elements.

Are you serious? XIV is still a literal pile of dogshit.

I'm gonna try writing this in the least copypasta-sounding way possible but, considering the subject matter I don't know how successful I'll be.
I need to get this out of my system though. For the last 12+ hours I've been doing nothing but sucking dick. I haven't ate or been to the bathroom. I've just sat here under my desk, listening to my Tom Lehrer music playlist, and licking a volunteer moderator balls on an obscure imageboard and preping African descendents. I've take a few facial ejaculation and I've already been sodomised a handful of times. I don't think I'll stop sucking cocks any time soon. They're for me, and watching other people sucking them makes me legitimately sad at this point. I started this whole cocksucking thing unironically. I think. It was just another faggotry but I'm still fucking doing it. It isn't even that faggy to me any more. Any time I see new cock I seriously get giddy. Right now, every damned cock I'm sucking is taking effort to not slip at least one gallon of cum outside my mouth. My actual thought process, I think, has changed because of these fucking cocks...

What the fuck did I just watch and who okay'd this shit?

It was impossble for them to do BLU properly. You would be complaining that it's just another caster and nothing like a real blue mage if it wasn't limited.

It does more damage than bard, however provides less raid damage which is the name of the game, tranny.
Didn't defend it, blue mage is a waste of development time. I pointed out >s because there is only one limited job, so he's obviously just a shitposter that doesn't play the game.

>It was impossble for them to do BLU properly
No it wasn't, and you know it wasn't. Fuck off.

and thousands of regalias clipping through everything

FFXI was an actual MMO Final Fantasy

FFXIV is a parody of the FF franchise in WoW styled form

No I'm not very excited about that team making a single player mainline FF title, clearly they aren't capable of making an original setting that can prop itself up.

Until the next mogstation mount comes along.

does painting your gear a certain color effect your fashion week score? Because I've been selling a retarded amount of dye today.

Yes

>hurr durr I need to unga bunga a single button or else it's too complicated
Go back to your 1-button mashing rotations and "action" combat that feels like you're using a wet noodle.

I honestly don't care. FFXIV is dead to me, there's nothing to do in it. I log in after completing the current main quests and then I'm always like "what now?". There is no end game content so I wonder what the fuck other people do to keep themselves entertained playing 8-12 hours a day.

I abandon all hope.

They've already mentioned Ronka being the First's ancient race. But at least their aesthetic is closer to Alexander than more fucking Allagan shit.

No it wasn't and no I wouldn't have been you're a retarded faggot. It would have been FINE as anything except being limited.
Nobody who wanted to main BLU wanted it to be limited to 50 without learning or not.

>B-BUT LEARNING!!!!! YOU CAN'T TRANSLATE LEARNING TO QUESTS!!

Both bard and dancer don't learn skills through leveling but through harps/talking to npcs so fuck off with that gay shit.
RDM is nothing like how RDM has traditionally been and it's one of the most popular jobs with BRD, stop using the cop out excuse of there's no way they could have done it.
They've done it literally FOUR times already and made it work, Yoshida's just autistic so we get a shitty mini-game as a job and not blue mage.

Fair enough.

sure there will. they'll just be spinoffs as usual, though.
mainline final fantasy games have been unsalvageable garbage since x, and even the good ones still pale in comparison to megaten, kiseki and saga.

oh you mean the same team that worked on Final Fantasy Versus XIII who got moved into XIV will be making the next mmo game? color me surprise

Isn't Matsuno working with Yoshida on something? I can see the next FF return to ivalice-like setting

>Ronka
maybe the Ronka are Allagans that came to the 1st shortly before the Earth Calamity

now they'll be funneled into XVI

Aren't they funneling it into the VII remake now, if that's still a thing? They'll find something, as long as it's not XIV.

Yes that was my poorly conveyed joke.

They'll never funnel it back into itself

I would love for them to make a new MMO. I like FFXIV a lot but it's clearly showing its age in so many ways. The graphics look like ass even by PS4 standards, the entire thing is build on 1.0 spaghetti code which means they'll never be able to implement a decent inventory/glamour system, and it's pretty clear they've about reached the limits of what they can do with the current combat system. There haven't been any truly novel raid mechanics since forever. A new beginning is exactly what they need.

Go back to less futuristic settings and more classical sword and magic shit for a bit, it's been a long time.

its not content that he wants to do, so the game lacks content

The Final Fantasy XIV team is the FFXII team which in turn was comprised from vets from the FFXI team. In short they never made a bade FF.

I hate how the game is turning out too, but complaining that the GCD is 2.5 seconds is retarded when the alternative is literal button mashing like WoW nowadays. I'd like the game to turn towards more of a strategic gameplay style with a focus on crowd-control and preemptive action rather than reactive, but the reality is that the large majority of the MMO playerbase doesn't want that.

I also want shit like real-time travel and for gearing to matter, or for there to be less of a focus on end-game raiding and a more rounding of content so there's a variety of things for players to do. Rather than pidgeonholing players into one type of content where everything leads you to that end.

1.0 runs pretty well on modern computers. The main issue is that everything is server-side, including menus, so if you have terrible ping (such as, when the servers were located in Japan), everything took longer than it should've. And if the servers were overloaded, such as on launch, then it'd fall apart.

What ever happened with pic/related wasn't there supposed to be some huge push for japanese studios to try their hand on "traditional" western fantasy games like the older D&D and Wizardy games?

Just bot it.

there is an absolute shit ton of content for players to do that isn't end game raiding, I will never understand this complaint

They did keep a lot of it - all of the models are 1:1 imported into ARR, and they likely have the originals somewhere. From memory, they likely downscaled the textures for the PS3 and it's memory limits (256 MB is one hell of a drug), so it'd be a case of quite literally copy/pasting textures into the game and making sure nothing completely breaks.

As for updating it, they can. It's not actually that hard - it's just that resources are better spent elsewhere. They pride themselves on being able to support a wide-range of computers (and, honestly, I can run this thing on a playable framerate on a laptop from 2014 - they do a decent job), and adding in those HD textures would take away from that. Then again, they could just have an HD texture pack that you can download - as they said they'd do at one point. But, then again, they said that they'd make BRD into a support role once they had the time, and they're still a DPS, years after ARR has launched.

i used to use basabot back in the day until the creator literally just disappeared with everyones money. ill check out these programs thank you

WoW Classic will save the entire genre and FFXVI will be a much better MMORPG for it.

They are making another shitty MMO?

I hope so. But I doubt it will be an MMO.

Azys Llia was a fun end zone though. Nice world theme too.

It actually was not that impressive in general but good looking for an mmo, yes. Ran like shit for other reasons too.

Good because Yoshi-P is sick of modern FF not going back to it's old fantasy roots.
Hopefully we get actual towns and caves and old robed mages and pointy hats this time around

I can't wait for that faggot Nomura to stop being the king of SE. What a fucking cancer he's been.

The thaumaturge quests were some of the best shot cutscenes I've seen in game, especially compared to a lot of SB cutscenes. Not so much the content/dialogue in the THM cutscenes that's better, but the camera shots, pans, animations were a whole lot more pleasant to watch compared to how rigid and static a lot of the SB cutscenes were.

Attached: DulJBObX4AA6qqx.jpg (1920x1080, 191K)

>complain that post-1.0 cutscenes have no animations
>ignore manderville cutscenes

The issue is that a lot of that content isn't fun. And that stuff isn't updated past it's inception - so if you DID enjoy it and wanted more, you can't get more of it.

Lords of Verminion is forgotten. Chocobo Racing got, what, one update? There's not even any new tracks - we're still using the same Black Shroud, La Noscea, Thanalan tracks years after it's been out. The Gold Saucer had the same minigames all the way through Heavensward - we JUST got two new GATES for it, and there's still no new minigames. PVP is only kept alive because YoshiP has nostalgia for it - and the moment he leaves, you can be sure that it'll be forgotten. Triple Triad cards are a novelty - you get new NPCs and cards because they're easy, but there's no new rule sets, you still have to go to specific places to play against players. Doman Reconstruction is a one-and-done deal: there's no other aspect to it.

Diadem was redone twice, and is now dead - they basically gave up on it. Eureka will die after Stormblood clears out: they're going to make it doable for solo players the moment Shadowbringers hits and then be forgotten about. Housing is updated mainly because it's the one gil sink this game has.

You have new dungeons and trials, but the chances of you doing level 60/70 trials through your roulettes is pretty slim - and most of the end-game dungeons are forgotten about as they have no use other than for story filler, glamour gear, and what have you. How many times have you done, say, the Neverreap since it was rolled in the 50/60 dungeon roulette? What about any of the 4.X primals in your trial roulette? This problem will only get worse as time goes on, and more bosses are added.

When your three main activities that are actively updated outside of end-game raiding are glamour, crafting, and house decorating, there's an issue.

>The only cutscenes worth a shit in this fucking game are for literal jokes
Th-thanks.

It's the one set of cutscenes in the whole game that has custom made animations. In a game that prides itself on it's story content.

Recently got back to FFXIV, I've been farming alphascape savage, I noticed that bards don't have cast times anymore; is it normal for them fail every single mechanic?

As far as revisiting older content, it used to be the relic weapon that got you going back to old dungeons/raids/fates/etc, Eureka has been a tremendous fuck up in that regard.
I'm not sure what other kind of end game you could ask for though, can you give some examples?

With the exception of maybe SAMs ranged players are the least skilled in the game.

no, that title belongs to tanks

I’d discount housing because the vast majority of players aren’t going to be able to find plots in the first place.

but you can't pay me enough money to go back, I'm free now, I ain't ever going back

It's hard to do it in a game like XIV, where the game is a vertical climb to reach the power cap until they update it again, but having a flatter playing field for gearing would make things a lot more interesting.

Let's use an example with XIV activities - as it's something I've mulled over a lot. The primary issue with a lot of the content in XIV is that it's ultimately a worthless activity to do in regards to your current progression (getting to ilevel 400). Therefore, each piece of content should contribute in some way to improving your ilevel. Right now, we do kind of have that - but the issue is that you only have two real sources of gear:
>end-game raiding
>tomes (gained mainly through roulettes - at least, until eureka released)
In an ideal MMO, that shouldn't be the case. Gear should have multiple sources, BiS should take from each different area to promote content diversity. Your ideal player should have his hand in every pie, so to speak. In that regard, as XIV is all about increasing ilevel, end-game should consist of doing:
>hunts
>end-game raids
>tomes
>trials
>crafting
>diadem/eureka
The last two are debateable - as Diadem is level 60 content, and Eureka is level 70 content. However, updating them to the current level cap and increasing their reward value will mean that they're still populated, and players can continue to do them.

The main issue with this is that gearing is super simple, and you quite literally cannot sustain multiple activities with their own gear to gain from it - but rather than constrain yourself to this method of
>we can only do two ilevel 400 gear sets
There should be more ways of differentiating gear.

>but user, tomes already give you that!
The issue with this is that a lot of the older content doesn't give you the current tomes, or there's very little in terms of other sources for tomes (until Eureka hit). You do your roulettes, and that's it, for tomes. You do savage raids - and that's it - for the other set.

user what are you doing, you cant criticize this game, don't you know this is the best you'll get in modern MMOs in terms of games with asian skins on it.

Have fun knowing Monolith was bought out by Nintendo.

This whole situation is a product of their core design idea of building the game in a very similar vein to WoW and other modern MMOs. Before the genre exploded MMOs were about the journey and not the reward, the idea was to go take on challenges and make friends, get out and play with other players and have it be a more social experience with that being your main reward while items and gear were in many cases just trophies, not required equipment to profress.

With "post WoW" MMOs the focus is centered around gear, with this system items/gear are your reward for completing any content, required to progress and do more content, and ultimately the carrot on a stick in front of each player. When you go down this route you sacriffice a broad layer of content that can stay relevant for a long period of time for a more direct tiered progression system. As you progress through the tiers lower content is not just sub par but completely and utterly pointless and useless to do.

You can't fix this situation without a 100% total overhaul of the games single core design pillar, aka impossible.

>upgrades your gear to ilvl 400
Not until patch 4.5. It shouldn't be a catchup mechanism, but rather something that you do actively to contribute to your progression.
>gives you ilvl 390-400 gear but on a weekly lockout
It gives you ilevel 400 gear. All items are used to augment items to ilevel 400. The normal version of the raids are 380, and since they aren't upgradeable, should not be considered
>gives you ilvl 380 gear but on a 900 tome weekly lockout
390, and it's a 450 tome weekly lockout. It's 900 now, as it's the end of the expansion.
>gives you ilvl 380 gear that can be overmelded and upgraded to ilvl 390, has no weekly/daily lockout for anything
The 390 upgrade is later in the patch cycle, and is used in the first week of raiding. Some classes have rings for their BiS, but there is no reason to keep this gear.
>gives you relic weapon and a decent set
The "decent set" is worse than tome gear, or the 24-man gear. The relic weapon is worse until the last step - the primal weapon is better than it in terms of stats, from memory.

XIV has no way for you to properly gear up before they add in catch-up mechanisms nearly 6 months after the raid ends for players to gear up. If you can only do tomes, you are locked to a single gearset that is ilevel 390. You then have to wait 6 months to be able to upgrade that to 400. There is no support for casual players to get past this cap - they are forced into end-game raiding.

That is my issue with XIV's end-game. You are funneled into end-game raiding if you wish to continue your progress. There is no other activity to help you with this - the intention is not to provide you with a wealth of content. It is to provide you with a path into end-game raiding.

Cross world visiting in patch 4.57 in a few days is going to be a big deal for community events and hunting NMs in zones.

Why do you want better gear other than for end-game raiding, you don't need to have the latest, greatest shit if you're just running your fucking roulettes.

Good to know you don't have any good counterpoints to this reality.

I don't think that's what he's getting at there.

Yea, the XV battle system was shit. What's funny is the LR team went to the XV team to ask for tips in creating a battle system that was more "action" based, and then they proceeded to make a ATB/action hybrid that was 5000x better than XV's system.

>Why do you want better gear other than for end-game raiding
>ignoring the argument revolving around how the game itself hasn't taken advantage of multiple avenues to gear
He's talking about how limited the scope is at endgame for any kind of progression. You either have Tomestones or Savage raiding, thats it. There isn't really a reason to dip your toes elsewhere to get gear because they don't offer that incentive leading to the population barely touching anything like hunts or the overworld itself.

I don't know how they did it, but LR had one hell of a combat system, it flowed really well and there was actually some teeth to it on normal, it was easy to break but it was still a damn good time, I hope Square don't forget it and hopefully we will see it again in another action RPG.

Hunts are the worst piece of PvE content in this game.

It's not about "the latest and greatest shit", it's about giving you a variety of content to do. Why bother playing XIV past the first week of the patch if you can finish all of the relevant content in that week?

is right. Each aspect of the game should lead you towards the goal of reaching the max level cap. The difference is the time investment to reach there compared to the difficulty of it. End-game raiding should give you ilevel 400 gear off the top. Tome gear should be upgradeable - maybe have it so that you can buy the upgrade items with 2000 tomes, or 1000 or something. Hunts should allow you to get upgradeable gear from the start, except there's a large investment involved in getting the seals required. Or each gear piece can be suited towards the activity it's for, and then you have multiple gear sets for BiS in each different type of content, with a true BiS being in each different area

It's not "let's give the casuals 400 gear for nothing", it's "let's give players more options to actually gear up, rather than giving them one path to play"

RNG is way worse than anything you can improve it. It's literally impossible to get better at the bullshit wind one.
you're just stuck guessing. If you get fucked, LOL WOOPS 200 MGP FUCK OFF FOR 20 MINUTES. It makes 0 sense to include it at all, when the others are so much more fun.

>Why is leveling alts so fucking boring
Cause the whole story progression is a slog once you know it and leveling content is boring as it offers no challenge even compared to the streamroll content that makes up the majority of endgame.

Are yours? Did you start playing at 4.5?

The buyable gear was in no way near BiS when Eureka released. The relic weapon was also worse than the raid weapons until Hydatos released. That's 2 raid tiers, if you're being generous and say that you could use your relic during Omegascape when most people who had cared about raiding had cleared a good chunk of it by the time Hydatos released. We likely wouldn't have had said armour unless people made it clear they wanted something.

Before Hydatos, there were only 2 sets you'd use - tome and raiding. When Hydatos released, there were now 3, except that the third wasn't worth it for some classes. And even then, Hydatos released late enough in the raid tier that for some, it didn't even matter.

god he is such a piece of shit. Unironically hope he dies before he gets to put another turd of a game on this planet

>>more important than actual fucking gameplay
Are you implying XIV is even better than WoW in its basic combat? Neither of the two have anything good. FFXIV will slowly shave away with each "Combat Revamp" till you're at WoW's door. I wouldn't be amazed if they do finally port the simplified PvP actions for combos in ShB to further promote "closing the DPS gap" like they did for HW to SB

Because if you're leveling entire characters then that's not what you're supposed to be doing, and if you're leveling other jobs it's because non-Palace of the Dead/Heaven on High EXP sources are effectively just dungeons, beast-tribes and some levequests.

Yes I want more gear that is limited to certain types of content. Eureka having it's own set bonus for rare gear to help make you slightly better is amazing. There needs to be more rare gear that has a tangible effect on one aspect but is useless for other things. Making this gear, or at the very least the materials used to make it, trade able is also key to getting that old mmo feeling back.

Having 3+ hotbars full of abilities after each expac is already ensuring we're never going to reach WoW-tier simplicity desu, hell the PvP action system if implemented would probably be purely to clear space for more GCD and oGCD abilities outside of your job's main two or three skillchains

Yes, I am implying it.
Even if they ported to the simplified PvP actions, the game would still be more complex and satisfying to play than WoW.
I don't know when the last time you played WoW was, but the Legion prepatch absolutely destroyed the core of the game, and BfA stripped away all the trimmings that "completed" the various classes.

at least he can't ruin another Square game

>Mom's tablet is caps locked and I don't know how to turn it off

The History of Rome is the only podcast I've listened to.

The fact that the Eureka Bonus wasn't used more is a sin. We should've been able to edit that with our relics, or we should've had more gear that used it in ways other than straight-up stat increases.

Hopefully the next Diadem/Eureka variant takes note of the idea and improves upon it.

The free copy is a code you redeem, yes.

Yeah, Twitch/Amazon Prime gives you ARR and one month of playtime for free while the promotion lasts, you redeem a code on Mogstation after signing in with your account. If you like what you played you can buy Shadowbringers and receive all expacs + current expac on July 2nd, or skim around on G2A and other key resellers for an easy copy of Stormblood if you want to play the expacs now.

They have a huge opportunity with the next Eureka type zone. My expectations are at 11/10 for it. They have been slowly making the exploratory zones better and better in small steps since Diadem and if they just resist the urge to scrap it all and start from square one there is no possible way it will be anything less than amazing. Eureka is not perfect, I didn't enjoy Pagos very much at all, but Hydatos is so damn fun to play with the Logos actions and how open the map is that I am confident they have this in the bag. All they need to do is expand on Hydatos and it will be the best content in all of FFXIV.

Do you have to redeem the code within the promotion window? I think it only runs till like May 2nd or something which is slightly inconvenient for me

If I started a trial account on ps4 can I still play on pc with it? or am I locked to sony?

Why are you such a retard?

>bullshit wind one
Anyway the Wind Blows is the most thematically-appropriate GATE (in line with the harsh GS RNG in FFVII), it's incredibly easy to game, and pays out way more than any other GATE- while being far less tedious than shit like the emote DDR one.

And when I say "easy to game" it's because there are pseudo safe-zones all over the stage. See the red dot in my screenshot here? It's on the south side. Place the center of your hitbox on top of it, in the little niche of the floret in the fleur de lys looking thing, and stand still. There's ~80% chance you wont get sneezed off.
All those people at the back? They knew roughly where the safe spot was, but weren't standing perfectly on top of it like me, so they all ate shit.

80% still isn't 100%, rng is bullshit, period.

I like playing with the Logos actions, but the main issue is accessibility. Having a limited resource on something means that it's hard to justify using it at any time. It's like that whole "do I use this item during this boss fight or use it when I need it during another?" question people have in RPGs.

If they basically made the next set of Eureka instances a collection of dungeons and trials where you can get Eureka Bonus gear, or items to augment gear with a Eureka Bonus with a small overworld that connects it all, I think it'd be super fun.

The biggest crime about Logos was losing them when leaving Eureka. I was there was a way to save them with their charges in place. I went through a lot of Stealth ones in Pyros that were above 50 uses.

The new expansion comes out in June.

buy it twice even if i only want to play the full thing on pc with the acc i made?

>I wish there was more shit that would be a total waste of time LMAO i'm such a contrarian xD!

RNG for stupid shit like minigame areas. Why have them exist if you're just going to make them rng shit? And it's literally the only one that's in every fucking timeslot.

Time to wait for XVII then

>why have randomness in a fucking casino
a mystery

>the implication that the golden saucer isn't a minigame area

Yeah I really hope that they make mini public dungeons in the next Eureka. You kill an NM and get a key item drop that will unlock the dungeon and you form a party of 4-8 before going in, once inside it acts just like a small version of BA. That would be the best system in my eyes.

Each platform you play the game on needs to have its own service account enabled. You can use the same account between PS4 and PC, but you need to buy both versions and expansions of the game. If you're waiting until June, you can do your free month and then buy Shadowbringers if you like it. Shadowbringers comes with every expansion.

Attached: Dwx3R_4UwAA2LG0.jpg (585x827, 76K)

No, you can start your trial on ps4 and continue it on pc then just buy the game for pc. If you wanted to play on ps4 you would need to buy another copy of the game though. Also if you buy it on steam you have to continue buying on steam, the generic pc version isnt compatable.

>implication that it isn't a minigame area
>rng shit for stupid shit like minigame areas
???????????????????

Oh yeah, that'd make Logos actions a lot better. Either make them so they don't run out when used, or allow you to keep them when you reinstance, so you don't "waste" actions.

Either way, I'm hoping the next Eureka instance builds on what worked while ditching what didn't.

Well be that as it may I just don't have a lot of time to play right now and it'd be pointless to redeem something I barely get to use

you get a copy of the game at least, you dunce

I mean, in an ideal world we'd have as many GATEs as there are minigames in your average Mario Party, and there'd be a new one running every 5-10 minutes, perhaps even concurrently.

You know, because fun.
But I've accepted that we'll never get anything actually good out of SE because they just don't understand the idea of reinvesting profits to scale up development (eg. by hiring more staff) to promote further growth. Like, imagine if all the new superfluous housing fluff didn't come at the cost of dev time that could be spent on other more important things, or that Eureka was worked on by a specific team so more primal fights could be made per patch, or even that the employees they have now weren't overworked like mad and sleeping at their desks during atrocious expansion crunch.

That's my plan atm

Nigga they want more staff, there's tons of openings for the XIV team. It's just that no one is applying/meets the expectations.

I just want them to make NMs that aren't a zergfest. I'm pretty sure Eureka just highlighted the issues of having 144 people fight something at once - so having public NMs and private NMs would work really well. It's not like they don't already have the systems in place to do it, too. Maps already restrict mobs spawned to the party who used the map - just have that system in place for Eureka force-popped NMs. You could even use the levequest system for it.

Now, I don't like XV or Tabata either, but let's not be so dramatic, user. He wasn't at fault for everything that happened with XV. Nomura was the director for the majority of the game's development, and it was upper management that wanted to make yet another shitty in-house engine. They gave him an impossible release window (they fucked over the XIII team in the same way with the engine problems/time restraint BS, but even worse)

But, there is hope there will be a complete at launch FF someday. I think SE learned their lesson.

Weird how you're blaming the workers, when it's probably because SE is demanding significant industry experience and shitloads of unpaid overtime while offering miserable remuneration.

Because the gatcha market is extremely profitable but far more saturated, and even if MMO development is more expensive you're more likely to be successful based on the effort you invest?

Nah. I've logged in several times this week to waiting in queue and I'm not on balmung or gilgamesh

If it's off cd and I get a card I want, I spread it and pop SD. I'm guaranteed an instant RR and a Lord/Lady, which is bang for buck either way, and if the card in the draw slot is shit I can RR or minor arcana it.

I find that it works best if I already have a road or spread. Doing it with nothing will just get you a bunch of random shit. But if you have at least 1 piece ready to go you should get something that works with the 2 free cards. Also make sure to use it immediately after draw and when you don't have a minor arcana.

Yes. Makes me sound like wowfugees are coming to ffxiv in droves

With Yoshida in charge the game won't have a fucking decade of.development hell that's for sure.

Compared to ARR cutscenes?
It's lightyears better.

Why do alot of people act like final fantasy games have been consistently shit when the only bad ones are 13 and extremely arguable, 15? All the others except 2 range from good to amazing.

You should always try to use it immediately after Drawing a card to reset the Draw cooldown;
Personally I find it best to use if I already have a good RR or something in my Spread.

eg.
Draw Balance > Spread > SD hoping for an Expanded RR
Draw Ewer > RR > SD hoping for a Spread/Drawn Balance

And if you've just used a stored RR in conjunction with a Drawn card and have nothing left, you can also use it then and pray for good RNG.

i'll suffer even shittier graphics and "cutscenes" if the gameplay remains enjoyable. graphics at the cost of everything else isn't good. look to xiv 1.0 and xv for two perfect examples

"Classical" FF still has sci-fi elements, just not a contemporary setting. Look forward to renaissance-era technology being widespread at the absolute least

All we've seen Yoshida be able to do so far is fix up and restore a game that was once utterly broken. There's no telling what he'll do as the lead for an entirely new project.

For all we know, he might end up making a clone of DQ11 because he's played it before and he likes getting inspiration from other successful games in the same genre.

Nah dude i'm forever sceptical. It's like with all those faggots who keep buying star wars and battlefield games despite knowing what kind of shit company ea is. Same with bugy ubisoft games or the eventual suicide of blizzard games. Square fucked up not only final fantasy but kingdom hearts and almost everything they started in the last years. I just hope I get proven wrong because i used to love them so much

It just seems like throwing the baby out with the bathwater, that's all.

The next step is to add content that.isn't just mob/FATE chaining. Add stuff for gatherers and crafters to contribute (but keep the mats and stuff produced only limited to being relevant within the exploratory content to prevent people just clogging up instances to gather ores and shit), keep adding.cotent like BA as well.

Aether is a hell of a drug, and pretty much equalizes the races in terms of their physical prowess. As much as it might be "immersion breaking" to see some two foot high little shit staring down an elder dragon in the lore it's actually perfectly reasonable.

Ask me again in 2029 when the game is finally released.

hard to believe that an average lalafell is stronger than a pureblood garlean

I am but only for the bara

Now you realise why they were chased up north to Ilsabard.

Kan-E-Senna could have leapt the table and beaten Varis zos Galvus to an inch of his life with her bare fists at the Garlean peace talk, but she chose not to.

Garleans were bullied for centuries for a reason, they lacked the ability to manipulate aether, which put them at a severe disadvantage. It was only.after the discovery of a method to refine Ceruleun (which we now know is basically more volatile aether anyway) were they able to start fighting on equal footing with the other races.

I imagine the game ran like SHIT considering how demanding the graphics were back then for an MMO.

Nah, i'm down, just gotta update, might be a minute though

xiv in its current state plays nothing like the original version, it's essentially a new game

also yeah he's probably just going to clone dq11 or something, and to be fair he really should. ff desperately needs to go back to turn based/atb, the new shit isn't working out

Protect is a meme that was already planned to be chopped at the launch of Stormblood. They should have followed through with it and just made it a passive trait for people in the party. In terms of Lucid, they're probably going to seriously remove tank stances and just make tanks innately beefy and high enmity. Then they're going to lower healer and DPS enmity across the board. Probably have some mechanic built into the role to regen MP in a more passive manner.

Actually it makes perfect sense, along with the removal of Hide. You could add the vulnerability-up to Suiton and boost Suiton's potency a bit to account for TA's removal and nothing would change as far as the NIN's actual application of the debuff, and Hide is useless for much longer than it's useful, all it really exists for is a way to get Huton up pre-pull and still have a mudra ready to go. Sucks about the flavor between it and ROG being lost, but mechanically there's not really any reason for them to stay.

You know, as much as I dislike all the memes associated with lalafell, I do appreciate SE's commitment to providing a player race roughly equivalent to the chibi sprites used in older FF games if that's how you want to experience the game.
They look fantastic as BLMs for example. All they really need is an effect that shadows out your character's face and adds glowing eyes.

user they work hard to make those cutscenes. Takes around a tenth of their people to make sure you step forward and nod perfectly every time you watch them. You just linked soulless garbage.

There hasn't been a good FF since 7.

They were posted here. 1st one was on April 15th if I remember correctly.

Why is anyone even excited about a game directed by Yoshida? The man has already shown to be nothing but style over substance, if you honestly think he's going to push modern FF and bring anything new to the table you clearly are new to XIV or have been blatantly ignoring how this game has been going since 2.0.

Trick attack prevents Ninja from being anything else than TA bot.

That's the point. None of those are new.

Yoshida did actually have interesting gameplay systems put in place in 1.0. He has the potential to do good stuff, but he's gotten complacent and has gone with the easy shallow WoW clone bullshit.

Anything past 10 is shit.

Exactly the reason to be wary of him and anything he touches. He had great work when he took over XIV during 1.0. The dungeons were pretty decent even if they were simple and the push with more trials besides Ifrit was welcomed but he clearly shows that he rather not work too hard and become complacent with the easiest bare minimum.

>if you honestly think he's going to push modern FF and bring anything new to the table you clearly are new to XIV or have been blatantly ignoring how this game has been going since 2.0.
But that's the point. Everything Final Fantasy did right was in the past.
Everything new they try is fucking god awful.

If Yoshi is making a game in the mold of a classic FF game (I-VII) we might, for the first time in nearly two decades, have something almost playable.

X was crap.

11-14 are all better than 1 and 2

Don't listen to the SQUARE ENIX BAD people, they have been full of anger going on 20 years now

Best hair for highlanders hands down.

While I'm not against from learning from the past and building upon the shoulder of giants its rather clear that Yoshida can not do that. Have we forgotten Eureka? The tribute to FFXI that was suppose to be a fun side-activity for when we're not raiding or running dungeons? Remember how shit it is and how he didn't bother making sure to adapt the design philosophy to properly fit XIV? He'll simply port the structure with none of what made it work, FFXVI will just be Eureka all over again.

Yoshida wasn't involved with 1.0 until much later, he's the reason we have jobs with a capital J in the game.

SB was the dev's attempt of making a waifu expansion and it failed on all fronts (Lyse, Yugiri, Florida)

3 is not trash

i like fedora tho

World of Final Fantasy was good, it's just that they put too much realism into their mainline games nowadays.

Fordola's a good character but SB still sucked shit.

You're right, it's toxic waste.

FF3 is literally the best and most polished RPG on the NES.

You gotta buy the whole game again, user.

I honestly hope he only brings old things to the table. I hope we get a class system like FF3 or FF5, I hope we get mechanical depth, and I hope the story is great. So far my only worry is that we'll have a good story with horrible pacing and tons of filler.

Can you prove that its going to improve on SB? They have already admitted that the formula is going to stay the same. Nothing is being shown in actual growth to dungeons or raid design and the overall focus from Yoshida being he wants to move more into a minigame territory with things like Mahjong. Whats going to improve in this lackluster game? Repeating Heavensward for a 3rd time won't help this game.

The only thing that really sounds like it sucks out of all of that are the changes to healer DPS.

If this actually went through, the endgame scene would be finished. The game would be dead as anything but a roleplaying platform or barbie dress up.
