Not-Zenos or Elezen Zenos?

He's going to get brought up once, then we never see him till 6.0

In 5.0 itself probably none at all. I can't imagine them even so much as showing anything relating to the war during the main story.
He will definitely be present in the follow up patches, but I don't think he will play a big part for now. I think it's likely we'll kill Ascian Zenos in 5.5, setting up for the War on Garlemald expansion where we finally take the fight back to them.

LODESTONE UPDATED

ITS UP

Ideally we'll be role playing as him as he cuts his way back to Garlemald.

What is

The way they've been making you play as someone else in each patch since 4.3 makes me believe that we will get playable

Segements during the story and in future patches.

He's just a walk deus-ex-machina in order to have an enemy in SB. Realistically, the WOL can bend his ass over and shove all 3 katanas up his ass with 1 arm tied behind their back. This bitchboy is nothing compared to the literal gods the WOL has slain.

He will do absolutely everything he possibly could to get stronger and experience a massive power spike now that he's actually lost a fight for the first time in his life.
I can totally see him dropping his name for good and claw his way to the top of Garlemald through sheer strength alone, eventually it will culminate in an RP fight where you play Elezen-Zenos to kill his grand-grand-father.

But that's no longer him. Elidibus is just using his body as a means to an end. Based Gaius is already doing what you mentioned.

If anything else, the atmosphere and fantasy this expansion should be amazing this time around. That combination of visuals and music was great.

Attached: 1553498080427.jpg (1024x867, 81K)

I was talking about the actual Zenos. Right now he's just slowly making his way back to Garlemald slaughtering everything in his path to become stronger.
I can't see him actually revealing who he is until he stands on the battlefield with the WoL once again, though some people will probably figure it out as they get killed. I can totally see him conquering the country to lead a full blown offensive on Eorzea for 6.0 now that he's found a worthy adversary.

Was that who the guy in the cutscene supposed to be? I stopped giving a shit due to how horribly written SB was.

If you remember, the Echo allows you to move your soul to different body. Real Zenos died and before his soul merged with the life stream transfered it into an Elezen that was nearby, suppressing the original soul and effectively continuing to live on in that body.
Ascian daddy Elidibus, not knowing about any of that, then took over Zeno's old dead body and is currently pretending to be him.

FSH is the true endgame.

See heat gauge in general lel

Not in 5.0. You're getting Alex, Thordan, and maybe warring triad.

It's okay, I forgive you.

It's cool they brought vamo alla flamenco back, but I'd love it if we got hunter's chance too.

It really does confuse me, out of all of the jobs MCH has to be the weirdest theme'd one, it's supposed to use tools but all of it's actions are guns.

All of it oGCD's are gun based and pre heavensward the only tools it has are wildfire and the turrets, then SB comes along and they focus on the concept of heat which translates to more gun focus, but they also throw a flame thrower in there for some reason.

It's such a poorly executed hodgepodge of design that I just don't get what they were aiming for, it feels like it would have been easier to make unlimited BLU with a more cohesive design than MCH as it is right now.

It's funny because heat system suffered the same exact problem Gauss barrel had in its initial iteration.
A situational DPS gain but a DPS loss if utilized 247 aka. fucking useless shit. Then they caved in and made them both mandatory part of the rotation later.

Outside of some foreboding "whats going on in the Source" cutaways, I don't see Zenos or any of the Source crew showing up at all until 5.X.

>an Elezen that was nearby, suppressing the original soul and effectively continuing to live on in that body.
Or just possessed an Elezen corpse.

God, I love that music.

The Echo requires the host body to be alive. It's possible Zeno's version is much closer to what the Ascians have, but since he copied Krille's that's not too likely.

Does it? Huh. I guess I missed that. Echo is the Echo, so I figured body hopping could be done on both living and dead like the Ascians do.

Heavensward the best expansion. Elezens the best characters.

You have 10 seconds to explain why you give so much shit about what characters other people play

Hot damn after looking at a list of them, most Dragoon armor is complete fuckin garbage. The only real standouts are the initial Drachen set and similar style stuff like Dragonlancer. After I finish up Heavensward what DPS should I go for to play the rest of Stormblood? Or do I grind up my Dark Knight and just tank for SB?

You're just unlucky. They generally spawn really fast now.

just wait, there are no conditions to spawn that fate (which btw is one of the rarest fates in the area)
just kill other fates in the meanwhile to free space on the map

I don't know about that one in particular, but sometimes FATEs can be follow ups to other FATEs. You could also just be unlucky though.

I'm already doing that though lazily since I'm only doing the fate that spawn on the West side of Mor dhona.

PvP condenses your entire kit into 4 skills. You don't really need a guide for how to press 4 buttons.

Generally speaking you prioritize ilvl over everything else since your main stat scales your damage much more than anything else, there's a few exceptions but those are mostly for accessories because of pentamelding.

This is what PvE plebeians actually believe

That's the only important ones off the top of my head.
I'm still mad that DRK and WAR had to share Kiba's armor, they should have let DRK get it and give WAR Giru or Lord

The reason I like Zenos so much is because he works perfectly as a foil to the WoL. While the WoL might be a hero in the context of the setting, at the end of the day the main motivation for the WoL is the thrill of adventure, the thrill of the hunt. Regardless of whatever roleplay reason you may create for your character this remains the core motivation on a meta level because it represents the desire of the player. We want to see new things, fight stronger opponents, over and over again. Zenos was the same way, but he essentially started his journey as a level 70 adventurer. He had no competition until we arrived, then he received what he always wanted, which is why he was able to connect to only us. Zenos' best line is when he remarks that Lyse and everyone else would never be able to understand the common desire that he and the WoL share. Zenos is the character that's most like the WoL in the entire story, because he's the most like the player.

I can't bring myself to choose a less efficient method, when a "most efficient" method exists.

Was it worth the misery?

gonna need sauce on this before the thread dies

Leveling dungeons around your level actually give a lot of exp, especially if you use the food buff + the squadron manual for 18% increase.
And you can increase that even more with the Aetheryte Earring which didn't exist when I did it for an additional 30%, making it a wooping 48% exp increase.
Honestly, with all those I'm pretty sure dungeons are more efficient now, especially if you can grab a friend that can heal or tank for you.
I could do it now even if you want I'm tired of waiting for fates to spawn

Check out lalafell on rule34

For healers and tanks, doing a dungeon on the level that it is unlocked is without a doubt faster, but the extended queue times for DPS negates this bonus. Rested EXP also makes dungeons worth while, until you're out of it.
I timed it while I was working on it over the past 2 weeks or so.

The only reason dungeons can be considered less efficient in any context is because they take a long time to solo queue. If you do something during those queues your efficiency will be maxed.

FATEs and sidequest don't make up for the difference spent on a 20 minute queue when you can get 1.5 runs of Palace done in that time.

Why not spend that time gathering stuff to make DoH leveling kit instead?
Being able to repair stuff anytime will be useful in ShB

That's why I proposed myself to tank or heal for you right now mate.

I didn't even read the spoiler. I'm not on, and not able to get on any time soon, but thanks for the offer, though.

Because my gatherers and crafters are already 70 and I've got nothing that I want to do that doesn't require a queue.

I mean anything other than levelling that DPS, like doing something in real life

PS4 players are lucky they can't parse because you don't want to see some of the numbers people do in high-end duties. It will make you depressed and cynical.

Dungeons are the best way to learn playing a job at an intermediate level. It may be slower but at least I know exactly what I'm doing at level 70.

It made me depressed and cynical at first, sure, but I've learned to accept it now. FF14 is meant to be inclusive so that anyone can play. Their subs fuel the game and that's ok with me.

They really need to gate extreme and savage behind some kind of mage tower-like feature though.

Yep
They use throwing weapons like chakrams

As a healer, I feel like I need to understand how every single job works at end game and their overall kit to heal and buff better.

For example, after getting BLM to 70 and playing it a bit, I understand why they don't want to move, so I shield them.

that's pretty based of you, but as a BLM main, please don't enable the bads by doing this. Part of the job is learning to map out leylines and understanding it's ok to spend a few seconds out of leyline when necessary. We have manipulation and between the lines for a reason.

That's nice of you, but please try not to enable BLMs like that. A good BLM learns to avoid damage on their own.

They probably weren't doing much anyway if you felt the need to do that

Did it though? Do you not remember zurvan soar, and sophia in general?

There was no gating by that point, retard.

>tanklets thinking they're important
your job is to just hit 123 and face the boss the right away so the dps can do their jobs, and half of you can't do even that much. Not to mention getting hit by mechanics and not dying because of tank privilege

Noted, but like I said, it was just an example.
Greedy BLM are actually pretty rare.

I guess a better example would be to wait 3 or 5 GCD for the NIN Trick Attack / the MNK Brotherhood before using Chain stratagem.

The gating system was removed in 3.1 if I recall correctly.

Keep coping. You're going to have to get over your tankxiety to stop being insignificant.

DRG exception is historical, in 1.0 lancers used to be tankier than pugilists. NIN exception is purely cosmetic though and I expect them to roll all DEX gear together or give scouting to DNC.

Don't be stupid. That's like saying they only put in a tank buster so tank can be relevant.

they force a timer on fights to not make the game boring as fuck. pre enrage MMO times you only had tanks and healers where the fight dragged on for more than a hour of tank and spanking because they wanted to play it safe.

>remove tank busters
Okay good luck doing mechanics now that the boss is swapping aggro between DPSs based on damage, and then 2-shotting the player doing the most damage with auto-attacks anyway.

DPS players are less relevant than tanks, accept it

Yeah you're autistic as fuck

You sound like the one looking for something to be outraged over desu.

A Heavensward movie would be pretty cool.

I don't think it would take THAT much set up. All you really need to know is war between Ishgard and Dragons that's lasted 1000 years, everything else like Ysayle and Estinien can be explained as the story goes along. You could basically cut out the empire's involvement in the story if you wanted to.

The only set up I can think of would be the WoL and their friendship with Haurchefant which is how they got safe passage into Ishgard, but even that can be quickly explained.

I dunno if they'd do Alexander or thordan

Warring Triad seems like a pretty safe bet though.

Does anyone do feast training or should I go straight to ranked?

WoD going into cities in the first shard is going to be like Guts entering Griffith’s new kingdom.

God forbid someone focus on the other aspects of the game over hardcore raiding.

They talked about thordan being highly requested, so I can see it happening. Only problem is that they would have to make a lot of new mechanics.

training is 100% dead, just suffer in ranked like everyone else. if you're new queue as ranged or tank and let someone else more experienced make kill calls as melee or survive on heals

They'll probably end up just making it a HW msq Trial gauntlet, with Ravana, Bismarck, and then Thordan.

Ravana and Bismark make no sense as a lead-in for Thordan. Just because they did one thing in SB doesn't mean they'll do exact same fucking thing in SHB.

There's no unity in theme with those though.

If they do do thorden, I expect it won't be with other trials

You think Squeenix gives a shit? They'll just call it "Heavensward (Ultimate)" and call it a day.

It doesn't make sense, Ravana and Bismarck have nothing to do with Thordan.
Unlike Twintania and Nael for Bahamut and Ifrit, Titan and Garuda for Ultima weapon.

Dumb rookie question. How do people determine when an opener ends and a normal rotation begins? Seems like you'd be doing most of this minus the long cooldowns throughout.

As someone who plays samurai, that was fucking pathetic.

A lot of the people had trouble were pre-heavensward when stack markers weren't a thing yet.

After that tho there's little excuse

Can he just heal Noctis as RDM anyway?

Apparently, it is. I also remember that thread and the user that made a fool of himself.

Some people have worse gear and play low dps classes.

Its synched to 50

level 50 so no vercure yet. Not that he would have thought of that anyway.

and apparently don't know what stack markers are.

Kek. Had him die only once while playing as a low gear tank because I just didn't care at first and thought he could take it.

>As someone who plays the most braindead DPS class
Nobody cares

Noctis takes like 10x the normal damage if you don't stack with him for the markers.
He should only ever get anywhere close to danger if you ignore them completely.

An opener gets out your big skills and sets you up to go into the normal flow of combat at the same time. You want those long skills to go on cooldown early so you can hit them again later.

Yes Noctis can be healed. But RDM doesn't get cure until 52.

Only trouble I had with the fight was timing the warp strike with the rapid suck. Server ticks are a bitch, two separate times I died standing next to the rock

I'd rather each knight have its own phase with a ton of mechanics.

Ultimate fight in shadowbringers is facing off against Thordan and his Heavensward. Instead of it being all about Thordan, Nidhogg shows up to wreak his shit. The fight then focuses on Nidhogg, with the end result being the party blinding Nidhogg. Thordan comes back with half his knights. Now you have to fight both Nidhogg and Thordan.
Good idea or nah?

Yeah as it stands you really only ever deal with 5 of the knights during heavensward, the other half basically just show up for the Thordan fight to be a knight shaped AOE marker.

Well in EX or higher, a low parse can "ruin everything" if other players aren't pulling double duty.

Below that, sure parse doesn't matter

To be fair, some classes could use streamlining. Like, does monk really need stances being their own separate skills? Why not remove fists of fire and just increase potency across the board? Why not remove fists of earth and just lower the cd on riddle of earth?

New Ultimate idea, Ultimate Dungeon Bonanza (UDB)
A gauntlet with a lot of super highly tuned dungeon bosses, every minute a new one will spawn and the mechanics will overlap, you have to kill the last one fast enough or eventually you will have 3+ bosses up at the same time and can't manage anymore
This would go on for 20 minutes or so

Thoughts?

Only issue or "issue" I can think of would be riddle of wind would have to become a permanent upgrade.

Might make TK easier to do I suppose

Yeah, fair enough. I only disagree with user's attitude towards players who aren't obsessed with how other view them. You don't fail DPS checks and you don't waste the healer's time, you're fine.

sounds like a bad fanfiction

I can agree with that

holy shit this could be great and terrible.
I'd love it if it were randomized so parsers would rage

Well it's a minstrel's ballad, so isn't that the point? The mechanics matter more than the story

Just make Thordan the next Ultimate fight put more a lot more emphasis on the Heavensward knight mechanics. They already said that they planned to make the original EX fight longer but they scrapped it due to time and the fight would drag on longer than it should (which is what Ultimate is all about anyways)

But isnt that the idea of Ultimate fights?
Try to make it sound as cool as possible?

it doesn't sound cool it sounds stupid

Uh, in some respects. But it's just supposed to be an over the top fight since people complain about everything being so easy and cleared week 1 (note that people complaining shit is cleared in week 1 probably don't clear it in week 1 though)

this is basically the last floor of deep canals. monsters just keep spawning if you don't kill them fast enough and they overwhelm you but the mechanics are toned down in comparison to savage/ultimate.

So big question, when are we gonna get the trailer song without all the sound effects?
Lyrics too, I wanna know whats being mumbled

When the Single comes out. For the other themes songs it was usually shortly after launch.

You're trying to mix two entirely different encounters into an unrealistic scenario. Theres more than enough content in Thordan and the knights themselves to make an Ultimate with.

I'm not a super fan of her gear designs. They feel overdesigned.

if not for the weird arm glove I'd like it.

I think it's fine. Don't really care for the gloves but I like it otherwise.

Shame I don't play bard

Those are like 1/3 and 2/3 Shire sets.

That woman can't design hats for shit.

Of course they're overdesigned. They're designing gear on a 6 year old skeleton with 6 year assets on a 6 year old engine. They've already done all the simple ideas.

>cleared 2.0 MSQ in under 24 hours
Feels weird, bros. I just sat down and did it on a new server, nobody feeding me items, no help, just getting shit done.

All of Ayumi's gear design process is:
>Draw the exact same base you've drawn 50 times before
>Add a bunch of tiny details that no one will ever notice
It's like the only thing she uses for inspiration is stuff that's already in the game. New AF gear should be the opportunity to add a new interpretation of the job's aesthetic, but instead most of them are just the same shit every time.

Not to mention her designs are clearly female-focused and the male equivalents are an afterthought that is almost only done begrudgingly. She would clearly rather be drawing beautiful ornate dresses and gowns all day instead of armour and weapons.

I bet she's desperate to move onto a new project so she at least as the opportunity for better tech to take advantage of her designs.

>New AF gear should be the opportunity to add a new interpretation of the job's aesthetic, but instead most of them are just the same shit every time.
This really shows with the AST and MCH gear. They should be looking at reimagining classic incarnations of those jobs, like an Edgar-inspired outfit for MCH or an Edward outfit for BRD. And why do we still not have an AST AF based on the classic time mage gear?

Part of the reason it arr rooks same is actually Yoshida who vetoes anything that doesn't fit his image of Final Fantasy jobs

Hrothgar? More like Hrothgay.

which weapon bro?

5.4
Four star craft + demimateria, new desynth material and needing stuff from the respective raids as material.
Also specialist onry.
Please look forward to it.

The axe.
One book left and I'm fucking done with this part.

the only times you wanna ignore ilvl in favor of stats are when you play a class like brd, which relies so much on substats

Flagrant conjecture

Damn man, get help

>new desynth material
Are they ever going to implement catch up features for this because leveling it is such a bitch

They've said multiple times all designs go through Yoshida's approval.

Well no shit, he's the lead director

I cleared all of ARR+HW MSQ in one minute with a level skip bought with crypto money

I hope. Some crafters are shit out of luck on certain desynth levels due lack of gear to break down. Some alternatives would be nice, or at the very least more desynth food with better buffs.

>duurrrhuurr I'm so stroonnngg just give me a challenge durrr
Fuck off

if anything, thordan would either be bundled with warring triad, or nidhogg because eye lmao

so fucking happy we can finally move on from ching chong music, no more gayass jpoprock Trial themes

Yeah but specifically on that art panel Ayumi talked about how Yoshida is very strict on the job AF feeling like 'Final Fantasy'. She said he let her have more freedom with the BLM outfit this time as a 'reward' because the last one perfectly encaptured the classic BLM sprite.

Seriously. It's the worst anime villain trope.

gilg a good server to go to? server i'm on is dead as fuck

Tsukiyomi's theme was great tho

He's grown past that now. Now he's finally found someone who can satisfy him and he's gone full yandere.

Did they give any hints about the new trial fights?

Don't talk shit about thirsty birds theme.

avoid gilgamesh
avoid aether

Soken doesn't need an Asian theme as an excuse for having jpop primal themes

It's funny because I really don't like Seventh Hells.

Titania and Innocence are the new MSQ trials, but that's all we know for now.

No, all we've seen is Titania, the primal of the fairies, though she might not be a proper primal as she looks a lot like alisaie

You mean going from orchestral chanting with piano to a early 2000s era anime opening theme?

Oblivion is a great song, come at me

There will likely be a third final trial fight that goes unannounced like Thordan and Shinryu but for all we know it could just be Innocence part 2.

The coat's good but everything else is kinda bad, I use it with AF1 pants dyed green and the arithmetician boots from Ivalice and a vendor caster hat.

Just another reused asset. Stop reading so much into it.

where’d you get this from?

Unpopular opinion, but I actually liked Seiryu's theme. It could have been longer but it fit the fight's frentic nature

Yeah that's a given, but I don't think it will be Innocence a second time. It will be some kind of classic FF summon or boss like Ultima Weapon, Thordan, and Shinryu. There will probably be some kind of twist after we beat Innocence at level 67.

I don't know user.She looks about as much like Alisae as Yotsuyu looks like Tsukuyomi

At her reveal they were even commenting that she doesn't look like a 'normal' primal dude.

Pretty big thing to reuse an asset for. They look extremely similar, if they aren't related, titania could have a different hair color or something
Also alphinaud and alisaie were both pretty conspicuously absent from the trailer

Seiryu's theme is fine and fits with his fight. Same with Susano. People have a habit of automatically shitting on primal themes that don't have vocals.

It reminds me of something that would play in Ys.

No. It's one of the most dead servers around since everyone only logs in on Tuesdays to raid. The rest of the week it's a complete ghost town. The only shout chat in cities comes from people visiting from other servers, you don't see a single person from gilgamesh actually talking.

lulz aside, I'm hoping after Titania's ultimate probably called Midsummer Moon or something like that that Oberon shows up

Oddly enough the english lyrics fit with the original japanese version.

>YOU NEVER MADE THIS EASY, DID YOU
>only says it in normal mode and not ex

>Koji was very peculiar about calling her the pixie "Regent"
>steam page called her the pixie King
It's definitely Alphinaud

There's only one version of the song dude. Both Amatsu Kaze and Sunrise have an English section

wouldn't make sense plot wise unless its forced on him. Alisae is 100% the type to sell her soul to save those she loves, Alphinaud is not

>smn getting nothing, only 1 summon viable: garuda/ifrit

That was likely a mistranslation, they changed king to ruler
Is king a gender neutral term in japanese? This happened with Berserk. For years, the official translation called the ruler of the fairies "king", only for it to turn out to be a queen.

>Is king a gender neutral term in japanese?
It is, but there's no reason for Koji not to use the proper gender when speaking in English unless he's hiding something or trying to avoid pissing off direct translation autists.

>Implying he wont become a scholar that can use egis

what constitutes a "normal" primal? half of them are just really big humanoids

People who shit on dragoon are literally just jealous

>Upgraded Elemental sets are supposed to match the fully upgrades eureka weapons
>looks far better with zodiac zeta/anima lux weapons
weird, ain’t it?

I'd assume they just wanted people to hint at her being different somehow and wanted people to speculate.

>scholar getting nothing, still 2 faeries, only 1 of them viable, another one is gimmick shit

Might just be that the pixies used one of the twins as a model for their primal.

>yoshida hints at something vague
>FFXIV fanbase image the most appealing fanfiction possible
Please stop being so desperate.

This is why everyone's saying Alisae is going to be a primal? I don't know, maybe. I can see it happening, but I wouldn't bet on it entirely. It'd be a nice change of pace for the story, that's for sure. The story definitely won't kill her off, that's for sure, but I can see them doing something similar as with Ysayle, except for the whole killing them off thing.

Most primals are just pure beings of aether, shaped into existence by belief.

Tsukiyomi and shiva aren't normal primals as they are people empowered with aether. Titania might be the same

Get a clue

There are technically three kinds of primals.
>classic primals
These are the ones like Ifrit, Garuda, Titan, etc who are shaped purely out of aether and belief.
>mantled primals
Shiva, Thordan, and Tsukuyomi who are people that summon a primal by using their body as a sort of foundation.
>living primals
Phoenix and Ultima, normal beings that become so infused with belief that they actually become a primal rather than having one summoned onto them like the mantled primals.

It's not like it's some huge stretch. Titania is said by yoshi p to be different than normal primals, looks like Alisaie, and Alisaie is awol in all ShB promos aside from that artwork.

It's not like this is some over the top theory. It might not happen of course but its hardly out there

Fuck the physical dps sets. I don't want to look like a fucking Bard.

Reminder that the reason we still don't have official add-on support yet is because of Sony's console parity contract.

the primals that we've seen so far that are summoned with a living host are extremely humanoid. Tsukuyomi for example only has her giant moon thing and her ears and she's basically a half and half Yotsuyu. Thordan and his knights are just giant men in armor.

Ysayle and Shiva's faces are very similar as well, with the only real 'fantasy' looking parts of her being her hair and her ability to fly. The fact that Yotsuyu and Shiva both use weapons also supports this I feel, Yotsuyu having a fan and a gun, and Shiva using a staff, bow and sword/shield

Looking at Titania, she's a deadringer for Alisae with eyeshadow on. Skin tone is different, and her hair is longer, but thats nothing compare to Tsukuyomi's half and half and Shiva turning pale blue.

It being Alphi in drag would be hilarious in a way but I don't think Yoshi would approve that

I mean there have been multiple jokes about alphinaud looking like a girl in game
I guess it depends on how dramatic the moment is gonna be.

Think I got it. Hydelayn doesn't want our characters to succeed in their quest to rebalance the first, so she's tricking our allies into protecting the Light. One way would be to make Titania a load bearing boss, enough power in her to make it all but required to slay her to progress towards that goal. As she knows our WoL is a pretty strong guy even without her protection, she's going for the emotional angle, the same way that Lahabrea tried to make us hesitant to attack him because he was possessing Thancred

If this holds up, we'll be fighting Thancred who thinks you're out to kill Minfillia. Hydelayn could also turn Krile on you by showing her visions of your exploits of spreading darkness. Don't think Yshtola and Urianger would fall for it.

Both SCH and SMN will no longer be full time pet jobs. Each fairy and summon will be on a cooldown and its duration will be limited by the job gauge in a way. They will be more impactful and do burst AoE or burst single target based on the one chosen for its effects.

Add-ons are probably in the "who cares" development-priority zone next to the graphical overhaul and PvP overhaul

I would be a-okay with that. Alternately make it like Yuna from dissidia, though that's unlikely

They can't get rid of egis because that means they would have to completely redo the job quests. What they could do however is making the ShB job quests revolve around turning your egis into demi-primals.
