Not with those necks and animations I will. They feel way to stiff.

God Foundation is a beautiful city but its so fucking spread out making it incredibly empty.

Was basically like the nigger version of Ul Dah.

>Pure Sharlayan elezen meets dirty Duskwights in Gridania for the first time

Lore-wise half breeds aren't that hard to make, and in fact the taboo against cross-breeding is so strong BECAUSE it will often result in children. Hilda is the obvious example but there's also details on this in Sui-no-Sato sidequests and that one Ishgard chain about the nobleman's affair.

the last time XIV was good
fuck stormblood, and shadowbringers is looking grim af

ishgard had god tier music too that was badass in the day and comfy af in the night

Killing off either of the twins would probably cause people to actually quit the game, which I imagine they would want to avoid no matter how impactful it would be in the story.

There are no good streamers.

If you want it for glamor just wait for 5.0. You'll be able to buy the armor for half off what it costs currently and the items to augment it with poetics. If you need ilevel for MSQ get i360 gear instead.

Not any non-Japanese ones, no.

I dunno, sure not most but when I do dungeons I swear like...20% at least of the people I group with have 10+ jobs at 70. Maybe it's because everyone else has quit to wait for the expansion.

If I remember correctly, min-ilvl was 5 bennu. I don't think the bennu phase is doable with 6, especially not with min-ilvl healing.

Prob a story spoiler so they changed it.

Thats an Allagan node on the 1st.

It’s not that different from the split between Foundation and Idyllshire. Only difference is the absurd teleport costs going to Othard and back.

I think they said somewhere that they couldn't get NA keys from SE but they got EU ones which is strange

I used fantasia after I played a character with 1 hairstyle for about 2 years because it looked retarded with any other hair.
Being generic cat girl makes life so much easier than trying to be "special".

Yeah, but the original post said most, which definitely isn't correct. I think you're right that you're seeing more people with multiple jobs leveled up right now because these are the people that play even when there isn't really anything new going on.

This is purely anecdotal, so dont quote me on it, but aside from complete leafs, most 60+ dungeons i run in my roulette have people with at least 3 to 4 lvl 70 and is either grinding other classes or for tomes.

Yoshi P already said that it's not like you are going to be collecting trusts like in XI. Each dungeon will only have characters who are narratively available for them. It's likely that Alisaie will live for a while, but being a trust is not plot armor necessarily.

That's far more believable than most players having every job at 70.

Most people definitely don't "unsub for several months in a row" or you'd see massive dips between patches in the census data. The amount of people who drop the game between patches is maybe like 10-20% of the playerbase.

Raidloggers have this really bizarre mentality where they are utterly convinced that everyone plays MMOs to raidlog, that only a minority of people care about anything except raidlogging, and that you can gauge the health of an MMO based on how happy the raidloggers are. When in reality they are almost always a fucking tiny proportion of the playerbase, typically under 10%, and progression raiding basically only still exists at all just to temporarily placate them.

This map is fucking huge.

I don't know if they would or not since even if she got the primal treatment she has little to no reason to fight us. I remember seeing somebody here say that primals were in control of Tsukuyomi and Thordan, with Shiva and Shinryu piloted by Ysayle and Zenos immune because of the Echo, but Yotsuyu and Thordan seemed pretty in control of themselves to me.

Mine didnt. Started off with the short hairstyle with the clips, then the fuzzy pony tails with bangs. Now it either long straight hair with no bangs or long pony tail.
But i know what you mean. I think its because this late into the game, people have already "created" the characteristics of the WoL in their head, as in how WoL reacts to situations and stuff. Hair styles that are radically different can change the image that people got, and woukd in the end return back or pick a very similar hairstyle.

You do see large dips of players between patches. Some stay for a few patches in a row, some for just a single one. Most definitely don't grind every job in the game to max level. I'm not a "raidlogger" so I don't know what you're getting at with your second paragraph.

Nope, definitely new map.

Yotsuyu is actually the only outlier, Thordan went from "I want to end the Thousand Year War" to "I will conquer the world and destroy all that oppose me" the second he turned into a primal, though you could reach a bit and claim that Tsukuyomi perfectly aligned with her personality, thus little change was visible.
Regardless of that, primals destroy the world around them merely by existing, that's why our primary job as WoL is to kill primals wherever they appear.

>Q: In the end, Greased Lightning IV wasn't added in Stormblood.
>Yoshida: We did test it, of course... and when we tried bringing up the skill speed as much as we could, we found that it was too fast for MNK's current system and basically unplayable. At the time, we were confident in how complete MNK was at a job, so we went the route of burst damage at the cost of speed, and made it so that there wouldn't be any extreme variance in how it's played. However, it turned out that that wasn't fun for the players who enjoyed MNK.
>Q: That's the impression you got from Stormblood, then.
>Yoshida: When you're comfortable with the fast speed, then it feels stressful to have to slow down, no matter how much of a DPS increase it is. Even if we do something with the players in mind, if they don't enjoy it, then it's the wrong choice.

The msq was subpar, but wtf are you talking about. DRK 60-70 was pure kino

Always get the weapon first

I don't think Thordan was supposed to be such a big change, the implication is that he dropped the facade of having benevolent motivations.

weapon is always the most important

Weapon damage is always the most important.

No matter the class always get weapons first.

WoL is a special primal made to kill primals

Didn't Thordan have the echo or am I misremembering?

I meant the changes to the job didn't make me stop playing it. And yes, drk 60-70 was pure kino.

Rose-tinted glasses. People can't go back and play it anymore, so all they have is their memories where all the bad stuff is easily forgotten. It's the same reason you see people saying 1.0 was great even though it was a fucking disaster.

This is true if you think about it. We are literally powered by the 8 major crystals that we collected early on, and for nearly the whole game, we go defeat primals without thinking much about why they were there in the first place.

Hunts, beast tribes, roulettes.

the fun is in the aesthetics. The gameplay sucks, its the inverse for mnk.

Geirskogul upgrades into Nastrond at 70. You're pretty "complete" as is but Wheeling Thrust will start to chain into Fang & Claw (and vice-versa) with a trait, you'll get another party buff, and you'll get an AoE chain attack after Doom Spike. More buttons to push and some buttons will upgrade themselves.

It had loads of issues but the best MSQ and the best individual job gameplay that the game has seen so far.
Also it had an amazing three raid tiers that weren't just asset recycling and fanservice for two years. HW vs SB is literally the soul vs soulless meme.

Are those cardboard boxes?

Most are Stormblood secondaries that got to play it without waiting for patches, which made it a better package overall.

Is it better than the other lvl 60 dungeons?

level 60 cap dungeons give fuckall for exp on their mobs kills. They only have exp as a formality. But it also depends on how much rested exp you have left. If you haven't done so already, doing your leveling, trial and alliance raid roulette should give you level's worth of EXP.

This is actually incorrect. Middy turned the blessing of light and the 6 crystals off to test WoL and in that time WoL only grew stronger.
The only thing Blessing of Light was useful for was a one time shield against Ultima and we already used that up.

Cecil is fucking great but my problem is his arc is done like 30% into the game. And for the rest of it he's the same Cecil unless Kain is on screen. Kain is great right though till the end.

Theoretically, since the ilvl400 weapon will have a higher main-stat. Practically, use whatever you feel like because it's gonna be defunct within the month.

I REALLY want the drg/tank armor dyeable.

honestly just get 400ilvl shit, the expac is a month away shit wont matter during leveling when you replace all of it by the 3rd dungeon

MNK is the class he picks to get his dick wet? user your static mate has a lot of problems and should prob off himself, but there's a fundamental problem in his logic.

What a faggot. Hope she picks the tank over him.

Almost always, yes. The only real exception is pentamelded crafted accessories and even then that's only really for tanks.

There are specific instances where the 390 Eureka gear is BiS, and pentamelded gear can sometimes beat 400. But as a general rule, 400 beats 390 every time.

MNK will be one of (if not the) fastest attackers courtesy of GL4 and therefore the one the DNC is likeliest to pick for their own gauge-buildup

Of all the things to disagree on.

But GNB has the most ogcd of all the tanks, so it will still have a good aggro

I've seen a handful of trannies playing males, specially maleras

Yes, I'd much prefer a new cast with each expac like how XI was with old friends popping up now and then

They'll probably make it so only a single ranged attack (they still have "Increased Enmity" effect) is enough aggro for the entire fight.
I will miss ripping aggro off tanks and killing raids with cleaves.

Unless they add a raid announcement function sort of like DBM but it talks about when and what your party is doing instead, you can pretty much count on the fact that most DNCs are going to pay about as much attention to anything going on with other people as WHMs did to pacification during 2.x. They'll pick whichever melee DPS has the highest HP hoping that means high iLvl from the start and stay glued to them. Failing any melee DPS it'll go on the main tank.

Well, in FFXI, Trusts were alternate reality versions of people you made connections with.

>3 most boring party members of an already boring group
Meh

FFXI'v gear system is just a continuous vertical climb where your gear gets outdated and useless with each update, whereas with the current state of XI even old as fuck lvl. 75 gear still has its uses in certain circumstances, as does much of the older pre il119 item system. With FFXIV they ran out of ideas and just keep increasing the ilvl of new gear each update and it's made so much of the older gear completely and totally useless except maybe in terms of aesthetics for some pieces.

it's less about looks and more about the density of areas of interest. IMO none of the zones in the games look bad, but the amount of space utilized for story relevance and events is relatively tiny in SB and HW zones compared to ARR. especially and game zones like Lochs and Azys Lla which were criminally underused

I will fight you if you talk shit about Urianger.

Okay zoomer.

Urianger's soul also got stolen. His body is being possessed by...I dunno....Honoroit.

Wait, whose bodies are we possessing in the First then? Did they die for us?

>this is a bad thing
oh no people have to do new content to improve their gear and progress. how terrible. explain to me why this is bad when you get the gear just from running raids/trials/new content normally? It's not like getting it is terribly inconvenient.

Urianger is a boring non-character, not quite as bad as Yshtola but still bad.

red mage

Mediafags said you can meet and set up your trust party in front of the dungeon's entrance, and you can talk to them just like other similar moments in previous MSQ dungeons (but this time they won't take a different route or just pop up in different parts of the dungeon to say dumb things).

Urianger's body still is in Eorzea too.

I'd actually be down for that, a pet entity would be three strokes of XI reference (without XI's baggage of the job being wholly designed around having a pet), tying into the existing "cooperation of man and dragon" bit, and maybe giving the baby Midgardsormr some relevance outside of being the only canonical minion

all you have to do is an hour or so of roulettes a day to max everything, even if you have a job that is pretty casual. if you're playing the game regularly for one whole expac cycle the only reason for not being combat job maxed is laziness

sam or war

The only reason I still play this game is because I've been playing since 1.0 and am really invested in the story and characters. I hate or dislike everything else.

Because it's stale

The only good carrots to chase in FFXIV are Relics, Endgame raiding, and completion (everything leveled to max, etc..)

Since G'raha didn't yank our soul and sent a beacon to the crystal tower instead, I imagine we're gonna have an alternate method of travel, one that allows us to go back and forth at will. Our buddies though, according to how this works in lore, are possessing bodies or had clones made of them.

Urianger is an autist who talks all old timey like his books for fun and went back to his old outfit because he was comfortable in it and doesn't like change.

It's simply a bad system. I would actually start playing FFXIV again if its gear system wasn't so awful. Not everyone wants to grind out the latest gear over and over again, it gets boring and repetitive and is nothing more than a shallow way to force players that want to play new content to keep subscribed and keep paying. That's the sole purpose of the vertical gear progression. XIV could learn a thing or two with what was done right with XI's horizontal gear progression.

Now of course FFXI is not free from similar criticisms, many of the games mechanics for unlocking the best gear is tied behind massive nonsensical grinds to keep players subscribed.

That's not at all what I said you autist. There's ways to keep older gear relevant by having a system to upgrade that gear by various means and battle content.

This is why I love Yoshi
He outright tells people to unsub and fuck off if they're feeling burned out, it is just a game after all
If it were other people they would be trying shoving useless extra content to try to keep the player paying every month

Wild conspiracy theory:

The plan all along has been to constantly feed the WoL conflicts in order to make them stronger to mold then into a suitable vessel for Zodiark. This expansion is going to be them showing you that light and darkness aren't strict good and evil forces to try and sway the WoL to come over to their side and accept this role.

>I don't want any content to ever come out that I can't roflstomp with my 5 sets of gear I got 6 years ago.
You're an idiot and I almost guarantee you've never played a game with anything close to horizontal progression.

huh? What's so sad about that? This is a final fantasy game so there's nothing wrong with playing for the story. Are you dumb?

It also looked pretty cool up until it exploded.

>not everyone wants to grind out the latest gear over and over again
>some of us want to grind out the SAME gear over and over again
pure autism

Forcing yourself to play a game that you hate everything about besides the story is kinda sad.

Horizontal gear progression DOES exist in FFXIV. You can get high-end armor from 24-man raids, weekly tomestones or savage raids.
You are looking for a system to complicate or give agency to player decision, which just wouldn't work with this game the way it is designed. It didn't even really work that well with 1.0, but there were some levels to it. Even if there was some system that gave +damage to x skill, and a different item gave +damage to y skill and the player had to choose, the game just doesn't really allow for the decisions to be that different.
I don't think this game will ever become anything more than a pre-determined outcome (and that's a good thing™) (please look forward to FFXVI Online)

or

introduce a system in which there is new gear

at the same time however you can also upgrade older gear with augmentations and upgrades via a content system.

You can have the best of both worlds.

Nah, they weren't alternate reality transplants. They're copies made of condensed magic, with limited reactions, powers, and personalities based on what your character knows about them from your adventures. In the very loosest sense, they're sort of built the same way as primals.

While I agree it is nice to see a dev not want to force you to keep playing if you are feeling burned out, but the fact houses are hostages to keep you subbed unless you want to lose it does take away from it a bit.

Yes

It's still grinding out gear, therefore it's still the problem you're having. The only difference is which NPC you talk to.

>We go full SMT
I can accept this

You dual-box PZA.

That is fair.
I would be okay if they made houses instanced. Or at least added an instanced option for houses. Having a neighborhood is nice, but having a house in general that you don't gotta constantly go into to keep is also nice.

I started Stormblood a few days ago and the only thing keeping me going is skipping all the cutscenes while having YouTube or some podcast in the background. Don’t give up user. Suffer with me.

how many people do you think quit pre hw? gotta be a lot right? the early game is shit and the point before hw is cancer

I am fucking laughing my ass off at you babbies crying about complexity. IN MMOS.

>play DNC
>nothing procs

To be fair, the patches aren't nearly as painful when you only gotta do like 20 at a time. And there was more incentive to level up alternate classes.

The shitty early game is probably the reason this game never really blew up.

try pressing Flourish bruh

Well, not that it couldn't happen, but WHM isn't losing Stone or Aero this time around. The next tier of each spell is just being swapped to light-based looks and names instead of being yet another Stone and Aero.

welcome to bard, at least now we are getting a 100% to refulgent barrage each time

>play dnc
>first hit of combo procs
>proc of that procs a proc
>THAT proc procs a proc as well
it's just procs all the way down
really wanna play it but I feel like all the BRDs AND the RDMs are going to switch to DNC which means a fucking massive influx of shitters
prob still gonna end up playing it though, I just don't want to be prancing around like a fucking girl

sad bad dirty joke good. based americans rewriting everything. seriously though that stings even if we the player didn't get to know moenbryda enough to get attached. poor urianger.

Partly. It was also a giant battery draining juice from Bahamut and piping it down into the Allagan infrastructure.

there will be a shitton of DNC and a lot but less GNBs, mid expac things will normalize but I fucking expect DNC to be mandatory for savage

Not in ShB. Probably will be one in the next expansion, along with other favorites like Aymeric.

that situation is exactly what happens in horizontal progression systems. players are brought for their equipment, not their skill. I was a little shithead WHM on my server in FFXI and I got invited by several linkshells because I was an experienced healer with a full spellbook. Its like that one bow rangers could have in EQ that applied Slow at a good enough rate you didn't need a dedicated enner in the party. in FFXI we had Kraken DRKs, the Ridill, relic weapons, etc.

I played FFXI from american release to ToAU, and I used mostly the same gear from about year 1 till I quit as my dynamis linkshell disbanded about halfway through my Mjollnir grind, after having run Dynamis with them for about 3 years straight twice a week.

I played WHM or THF, and was considering leveling BRD but I wanted to focus my gil on Mjollnir so I wouldn't be an effective BRD.

Well even Urianger curling up and crying with it is probably a story you won't want to hear upon it being given to you. Would be awkward as hell

Restrained Bahamut, harvested its power, and also beamed down solar energy to the Crystal Tower. There was an absolutely mindnumbing amount of juice needed to make a big enough voidsent portal to make a pact with the Cloud of Darkness

not him but he's doing it the way it should be done. SB story sucked and you could infer what happens via quest names/npcs around you anyway

No. It's not at all. Why do you think story is an illegitimate reason to play a game? fuck off and go play mario

I miss stacking +HoT Potency and +VIT on WHM for turbo-Regen.

There's always the patches.

But yeah, I'm sure she and Aymeric will become trusts at some point, but it's not gonna be a situation where you amass a large group of them. Yoshida explicitly said as much. Also why there aren't going to be minor characters or crossover characters becoming trusts.

I want to fuck Lyse.

truly epic bro

Chill the fuck out m8. I never said that you aren't allowed to play a game you hate for the story. i'm just saying it would be better if you liked the game around the story too.
