All FF OSTs on spotify right now.
How do people listen to video game music exclusively? That shit is baffling to me.
oh sick
The entire graphics engine will be changed, he said specifically this would allow them to have higher detail character models.
nice
nice job
What did they mean by this?
Streets of Rage 1-3 have dope ass soundtracks dude.
?
I once did that: listening to primarily video game soundtracks, but shit gets tiring and old after awhile. Soundtracks are fun and can be a good source to invoke imagination for writing or what-not, but I would recommend splitting it up with other artists. It did lend to my love for primarily instrumental music though.
RIP best uldah theme
I don't like vocals when I'm working/studying, and tracks like Shadow of the Body is very relaxing.
youtu.be
Who said exclusively?
I did.
He never said he would do it, he just said that he will look into improving the graphics. This could mean just adding more Nvidia Gameworks shit like they did for Heavensward. It's easier to implement than to say redo all the textures.
ishgard. home.
God 1.0 is such shit
Well you're retarded.
Does it come with a free Tsukuyomi minion code? No. Ok then.
I'll keep that in mind.
Oh nice. Thanks for the heads up. Will be good for when I play games with shit music.
Like forza horizon 4.
t. WoWbab.
Stop trying to act like 1.0 was anything other than garbage.
Maybe if it weren't an eternal winter there
It's not rip at all. I use it in my house.
how the fuck was it so good bros
How do people listen to modern radio trash exclusively?
graphics look better than i thought.
Stop trying to act like you know what you're talking about.
Why do people flat out ignore all the problems with HW? From the disaster that was the delay of 3.1 to content such as Diadem and sub par patch content. Every argument people try to make HW iout to be the most perfect xiv expansion that had absolutely zero issues.
>game so shit square had to nuke it from orbit
cope
youtube.com
Posting the most kino track
>The buildup leading to 1:40
I played 1.0 and dropped it because it was actual shit. I've been off and on since end of 1.0 and playing since 2.0 beta. The only reason 1.0 started to get some semnace of good content was because Yoshida took over development.
they actually had time to put into the expac since most assets were taken from 1.0 for arr
Welcome to the Zelda syndrome.
>digital media
It's not even yours.
wow what the fuck? Did they switch composers from 1.0 to 2.0? It's night and day. It kind of reminds me how Demons Souls has the best soundtrack of the Souls series because they switched composers for the rest and ruined it.
Fags who started in SB please leave
There are people who actually thought she was poisoned. Only 1.0 players immediately knew it was a sleeping potion
they went from Nobuo Uematsu to Soken
story was kino, music was great, jobs were fun except for bard, other than diadem content was good alex is much better than omega
>most tracks have japanese titles
Even Falcom doesn't do this shit.
No they didn't, anyone brain damaged enough to play 1.0 would have the memory of a goldfish.
Because everything before and after it was worse. Very easy to overlook flaws when everything else did the same thing, but worse.
best song coming through. Sultry strings and powerful percussion. Has everything you could ask of a final dungeon theme
Same reason why WoW Classic exists: Nostalgia. And MMO nostalgia is ten Times worse than normal nostalgia, just have a look at the severely deluded XI/1.0 fags that infest these threads.
All XIV expansions have massive problems, even ARR wasn't that amazing overall. The thing is, the good parts of XIV are really good, and HW's good parts are quite popular.
Reminder that HW was all a big filler ARC
ARR has a FAR better engine but the original version of the game was indeed graphically superior. A lot was lost after the remake, unfortunately.
>diadem was bad meme
they might append them later this shit only just went up like a few hours ago
The original version used Uematsu.
1.XX wasn't really all that bad once the new team got their hands on it and added jobs and shit. Unfortunately it still had fuck all for content so unless you liked Ifrit, Garuda, and farming for Relics all day...
That slog of an engine needed to go though that's for damn sure.
HWfags are so dilusional they're calling Diadem good now
Yeah but it was good filler, unlike ShB.
True but it ran like shit on most peoples computers, so it was all for naught. They forgot to optimize it.
literally FFXIV version of wrathbabies: its when most people started so it's the best

>he didn't do trials of the matron
SB babs btfo
1.0 had better shading and textures but ARR has better lighting and reflections. They lost some but gained some.
So you have legacy status on your account then?
Seeing people backpedal makes me laugh.
Am I crazy, or are the animations in 1.0 just a whole fucking league better than 2.0+? I think I saw the character actually turn instead of just swivel, and the running looks fluid. What the fuck?
ff13 and 13-2 ost is also available on apple music at least
Yes and no. Combat animations were really slow sometimes and it looked awkward. Like most things in 1.0, it did some things pretty good and a lot of stuff really, really bad.
Yes, the movement we have now is for the sake of faster combat
They were better visually but that made things slow and clunky for gameplay
Yeah except in battle where everyone stands still for the entire fight.
what FF music is good
I wish more companies put music on spotify
I want blazblue etc.
based chadcom put a bunch of their music on there
It doesn't feel good though. Especially in battle everything looks very awkward.
Yeah animations had more detail to them but at the cost of the game being a lot slower to make the animations stand out. If they kept the animations the same for ARR then it would look awkward in combat since people can do a 1080 degree spin with a flick of their mouse instead of slowly keyboard turning.
He did though, He blatantly said they were already discussing it but just wanted to get SHB out, the only logical conclusion is 6.0 being when it's done.
And no it won't be adding Nvidia gameworks shit, he literally said they would need to overhaul the entire graphical engine.
It wasn't just about upgrading textures.
Except HW sets up everything for ShB.
It has weight and momentum to it. Now imagine raiding with GTA/RDR controls.
Try looking at a video of combat in 1.0. It looks more rigid than PSX games, and I wish I was exaggerating.
I thought sb/sb hype saw the most increase in subs?
>>excellent raids
HW's raids were so bad they killed my static twice.
The raids weren't bad, your group was.
How do people listen to pop and rap at all? It's offensively terrible.
because your static was shit.
>they couldn't clear A3S or A8S
Sad.
>sb hype
happened during heavensward so
>it's the raid's fault my static was shit!
I do and what he said is pretty accurate. I dropped the game pretty quickly at release and only came back to see how it changed much later after they added jobs and the game was running F2P at this point. It was only after all of these changes were being made that the game was actually sort of fun to play, but by then they weren't really adding anything new and were getting ready to pull the plug.
Everybody likes to remember 1.21 and forgets about all of the really fucking stupid shit they had in the beta and launch version.
The only music I liked from 14 were the ARR primal themes. The primal themes for HW were trash.
1.0 also had clothing physics and better post effects. I know why they had to get rid of all that stuff but it still sucks.
It was slower and more fluid and also incorporated animation blending. ARR is sped up considerably for combat animations and the animation blending was completely removed, as were certain physics.
>mfw I just realized that XIV now is old enough to have expansion wars
Man, I still remember getting hyped for Dreams of Ice and watching the trailer a billion of times because of Shiva.
WE WHOM GODS AND MEN HAVE FORSAKEN SHALL BE THE INSTRUMENTS OF OUR OWN DELIVERANCE
Prepare for an onslaught of people who have never set foot in Gordias praising it.
>newfags will never get to experience 3.2 brute justice
i feel legit bad for stormbabies
Bring back 8 man dungeons.
Ala Mhigo should have been 8 man dungeon.
video game music and radio trash
the only two genres
>Ifrit shit better than Ravana or Knights of the Round
get out faggot
Maybe in combat it looks shit (I havn't looked up any combat animations yet) but holy fuck the weight and momentum when you switch directions is pretty dope.
good looking out OP I would have missed this entirely
SO much good shit is being added to streaming now, for those who aren't aware capcom dumped a huge archive of their soundtracks on spotify out of the blue I recommend taking the dive and just looking through that whole catalogue for nostalgias sake. Megaman and the Ace Attorney remix albums had me grinning ear to ear all day
Video game music is not a genre. There's every genre imaginable in video game music.
Don't expect them to overhaul the graphics engine. At most you'll get more character customization features and some fluff options for high end PCs (resolution scale slider, increased object/character limit, shadows appear at a farther distance) but nothing crazy.
Trying to get loose from the mmo Skinner box. 5 days in so far, doing well.
Those aren't genres.
moron.
i'm retarded and replied to the wrong guy
Ifrit's song is from 1.0. ARR primal themes are Titan, Leviathan, Ramuh, Shiva, and Phoenix.
We cleared everything except A8S and Midas was ironically the wing my static survived. No wonder since it was the only good part of Alexander.
The lighting in FF14 is awful. Fixing it alone would make the game look much much better, though textures, especially armor need a boost. They look dogshit up close.
heavensward classic when
>Shiva better than anything
ff14 is severely limited by being built on top of 1.0 noodle code. So forget about any significant changes. ff14 will have 2 more expansions and that's it. Yoshida is working on ff16, ff14 is very close to being sent to maintain mode. We're getting the same empty zones like in SB, combat system dumbed down, cosmetic changes becoming priority, etc.
How do you even find these I keep typing in Final Fantasy or Final Fantasy XIV and none of these pop up on Spotify.
Here is the hardest encounter of 1.0
But you only have 3 more weeks to get the Namazu Earrings!
It really doesn't feel like I've been playing this game for 9 years, but fuck.
Forgot link.

what the fuck bros?! where are the aoe markers? where are the cast bars?? you can't have mechanics without those! what are you supposed to do, REACT????
>ff14 will have 2 more expansions and that's it.
nah they're going to keep pumping out expansions until years after their new MMO comes out just like FFXI. FFXI came out in 2002 and its last expansion was in 2015.
Hey old fags, keep this in mind next time you log on, we stormbabies run things now

THIS IS OBJECTIVE
You don't need to react in 1.0. You just stand still and do nothing. The challenge is staying awake

The lighting looks fine as long as it isn't pointing the wrong way.
Absolute garbage taste.
Then post yours faggot

>Yoshida is working on ff16
how would they even shake up the formula from xiv gameplay wise? what jobs would make it in?
is there any mechanics happening here or are they just hitting a bag of sand ?
Am I a brainlet or was that "I love him" thing suddenly came out of nowhere?
Not him but your taste is garbage. IX being only in "good"?
I don't fully agree but still good taste on that masterpiece tier.
youtube.com
Stormblood has been more of a filler expansion than Heavensward ever was.
>bringing 2 DRGs instead of a MNK
Yeah, it's fine but not as memorable as the higher tiers.
(unless nostaglia bullshit...)
>Bringing a MNK to anything in 1.X
LOL
Yeah exactly. I started feeling pressure the shit from that event, the Garo pvp mounts before they are removed, the Diadem and BA shit bla bla... And I just said fuck that.
I once healed Tam tara as whm, that's it.
Well yeah you can turn it into a walking corpse. But Yoshi indicated that 2 more after SHB is game over. He also said he wants to make other types of games.
It means less time to work on ff14, that's why I mentioned ff14 going into maintenance mode.
Look friend, you can either have pretty cutscenes or a functional MMORPG. We can't have both.
And that's a good thing!
I bet the story on The First is better than Stormblood and 5.1 - 5.5
>You just stand still and do nothing
and just like that you prove nothing you say is worth warm piss.
I have 17,000 songs in my Apple Music library, it would be completely unfeasable to get all of that in FLAC.
What even is spotify?
I got a friend that's going to be getting into the game, does he have to buy base game to get heavensward for free, or can he somehow get base game with heavensward like how you can get stormblood for free with shadowbringers?
Reminder that Soken is a gift, and that one of the biggest reasons this game is so enjoyable is the amazing ost and fight musics.
Yeah I see a lot of reacting going on there.
I like the 1.0 prelude better.
>Tier List
>No FFT
>It not being at the top
ok
youtube.com
I never said anything about cut-scenes, I just want that momentum with switching directions and Stop & Go.
He's not even working on XVI stop lying faggot. He's the leader of the business division that's it, he's confirmed he's not hands on with the development.
He probably sets the budget or some shit.
16 will be singleplayer. They realized that Yoshida is the only person at Square left that remembers FF being about anything but groups of fujobait fuccbois texting on their smartphones and the only person with the ability to successfully manage a project so they're letting him direct a Mainline FF after the desaster that was XV.
Easy
I would have put them all in S but that defeats the purpose of the list
Modified a little bit
He has to buy base game, but you can probably find it cheap on key sites.
you do realize that yoshida is head of business division 5. it doesn't mean that he will stop working on ffxiv as producer/director. he can just hire someone else to do that like exactly what he did for the other business division 5 games like DQX and current FFXI.
youtube.com
lol nice "game"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I don't know what's more laughable, MMO-shit soundtracks or V in A-tier
It's 100% mine if I pirate it.
Thankfully I don't think we'll see another expac after Adoulin/Rhapsodies, especially with Rhapsodies really wrapping up the world itself basically.
I wonder how an ffxiv "wrap-up" now all of a sudden. I don't imagine it'll happen any time soon.
Alright, thanks user
What the fuck that cutscene is literally leagues above the current nod shit we have now. It has actual, dare I say it... Soul
The MMO soundtracks are objectively masterpieces. Keep seething because you never played them, secondary.
Whoops, *would look like
>implying he won't drop the game to work as a snowboard instructor
A solid MNK obliterates boss fights. Constant free disables, stuns and debuffs are you serious? Plus that one twirling kick thing that would do insane damage at just the right moment?
I feel bad for all your "parties".
>Bringing a MNK to anything now
Feels fucking bad man
gif unrelated I presume?
i-is this what ff16 is gonna be like?
I've listened to both soundtracks and they're absolute dogshit compared to other FF soundtracks. ESPECIALLY XIV like holy shit, that's like bargain-bin tier OST
Not him but FFXIV absolutely has some bangers
youtube.com
HW is the worst since ARR, I don't know about 1.0.
Retards on Yea Forums like to praise it because is where they started and have nostalgia.
Story is more of the same, music was OK, some of them are awful tho, new jobs was a mess at first, then got fixed on future patches, raids still had trash pulls before boss for no reason, all bosses were DUDE MACHINES WOW, most of the Trials sucked, the super tryhard 99% culture started and got really big there. POTD was a great addition tho.
Who cares, stack DRGs because they actually do damage.
I never played 1.0 but a friend of mine who did told me the EU servers were so laggy you literally couldn't react to any attack and had to basically take a guess on what enemies were going to do next. Is it true?
>But Yoshi indicated that 2 more after SHB is game over
where is this even stated because contradicts it
I didn't say he will be removed, I said he will be working on other games as well as ff14. And how much of his time do you think ff16 will take away?
He's overseeing the whole fucking thing. I think that constitutes 'working on the game'.
If you can't spot the animations differences from this gif (Or the video I got it from) and 1.0, you're retarded and/or blind. Just look at the momentum shifts when they stop moving and then start, or change direction.
Incorrect.

Get better taste you absolute pleb.
Everything lagged in 1.0. Even the menus lagged.
>NEW = BAD
>OLD = GOOD
Can you soulfags fuck off and never come back?
Post possible GNB changes.
haha hey guys remember in 1.0 when it would take LITERAL seconds for the UI to respond to your clicks? Yea, but those graphics.
Because they spent the entire budget on them and made a shit game.
she wanted the gaijin dick the moment he stood up to her boomer dad
No, I can't - maybe if you posted something that runs in more than 15 fps in not an outdated picture format I might reconsider.
>I said he will be working on other games as well as ff14.
He's already been doing this for years though.
We could also say that that statement means he'll work on ff14 until he dies, which would be a stupid assumption. 2 more expansions means 6 more years of content from now. It's entirely reasonable to assume the game will be done by then. Also which dev works on a single game for 15 years?
I legit feel like he is the second coming of Uematsu. He's the only one to reach the same level of quality while also having such a wide range of styles (compared to, say, Mitsuda or Shimomura who are good, but not nearly as varied).

Fuck off retard
NO STOP YOU CAN'T ENJOY ANY ASPECT OF 1.0 BECAUSE THE GAMEPLAY WAS BROKEN!!!!
You need the starter edition to qualify for the free Heavensward.
Bruh that video is almost 30 minutes long. That was a 12 minute fight with a MNK in the party. What good is DRG damage with nothing around to amplify it?
Go make a petition for FFXIV Classic server then, you fag. We need a containment zone for people like you.
It's a good thing I responded to a 10 minute video you can watch at your leisure that I got the gif from (that I stated), user!
I can only hope Uematsu passes his synth keyboard to Soken before he retires for good
1.0 lighting is complete dogshit, which unfortunately makes EVERYTHING look massively worse.
Those are small projects, nothing even close to the scope of a mainline ff game.
>Likes current FFXIV but misses some obviously superior features from 1.0

There is a MNK in that party, ding dong.

Not sure why you're quoting me I agree with everything you said here. Almost like I can like one or two features from 1.0 while admitting it was shit.

That wasn't even the worst thing about 1.xx. Not being able to catch up to my party because the ground wouldn't load was a daily occurence.
Fuck I'm retarded, I meant post possible Gunbreaker Glamours.
dwarf fortress devs
I could dig it. Wonder if gameplay will be similar to 12, that's the closest the single player FFs have been to the MMOs
YES, THIS IS EXACTLY IT. BECAUSE IT WAS ALMOST ENTIRELY BROKEN EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE THING: THE VISUALS. WHICH NO DOUBT WAS AT SIGNIFICANT FAULT FOR WHY NOTHING ELSE WORKED.
You're treating video game music as a single genre.

SHADOWNIGGERS SWEATING
But those cutscenes man, wew.
who said in the first place that he's making another mainline ff game?
Making those cutscenes that good is literally what bankrupt the game, it's a fucking waste to funnel that much money into something like that.
Well 1.0 was in development for a long time, 2.0 was stitched together and shipped within 1 and a half years and updated every 3 months.
The only track of that OST I'd bother listening to
youtu.be
The long walk is objectively better because it gives the feeling of living in one cohesive world. If you think the loading screen is better then you may as well be playing a lobby game where everything is done from a main menu.
I've skimmed through it and if you mean the extra animation while stopping then yeah, that's cool. However let's not ignore that simultaneously there's more "sliding" and some wonky strafing animations during combat.
Who gives a fuck if the game dies in two expansions? You guys should be excited, maybe they'll actually fund the next MMO and have it be built on a decent codebase instead of this garbage. Then again it is nuSquare so...
Step aside.
youtube.com
>Story was more of the same
We uprooted the rule of an evil pope and ended a 1,000 year war between dragons. What even comes close to that in ARR?
>New jobs were a mess
Yeah no shit, even preexisting jobs and the new ones have problems in SB, expect the same in ShB.
>Raids had trash pulls before the boss
Way to out yourself as a casual who never raided in his life, or someone who hopped in during SB. Savage had no trash pulls before the boss mongoloid.
>Machine bosses
Yeah that's alexander and his steampunk aesthetic lmao
>Trials sucked
Brain dead, undoubtedly brain dead. The Knights of the Round? Nidhogg? Sephirot? Ravana? Sophia? Even Bismarck was a spectacle. Zurvan is the meh one though.
>ARR has a FAR better engine
this is a huge understatement, crystal tools engine in 1.x did not have proper multithreading support so it was doomed in the long run. content like diadem would be impossible in 1.x unless you want everyone to lag like PS3.
composing =/= developing and producing a game
I honestly don't even understand why you people are so defensive about the possibility of ff14 being done in the semi near future. I mean they'll probably leave it up for people who got so addicted to afking in Limsa to people who can't imagine their life without it.
Who gives a shit about dwarf fortress
It makes sense. ff15 is done, I doubt SE is sitting on their hands.
gematsu.com
When you look at this pic, it doesn't scream FF?
I agree, combat animation back then was fucked. I'm just saying I would like them to incorporate a bit more fluidity with movement outside of battle. In-Battle animation is shitty currently anyways, you can use a skill with a long-lasting animation and just float the fuck around by moving after you start the cast. It's really, really noticeable with DRG and DRK.
It's absolute shit compared to IV and VI.
but that's not freeform jazz
This. I wish we got 10 min long boat rides back.
Exactly, I'd rather it dies next year so they can focus on a new engine and shit.
Not just when you stop and start but when you turn, your character actually puts weight and leans a bit. It's subtle shit that's probably wasted on a lot of players but it looks really fucking good to me.
>i never did cutter's cry
8 monks was the meta for that dungeon. But 1.0 was a busted crap game.
This is disingenous because that specific area transition in Limsa is the only one that is that ridiculously long. Contrast to Ul'dah and Gridania where it takes longer to actually load into the next area than it would to just walk the extra distance.
Unironically, how do you PLAY this game again? The last time I played was right before the first expansion released. I finished the main story, got PLD to 50, and then quit. With the free 7 days, I'm wondering how people level a job up from 1-Cap these days if you've already done the main story. I know the expansions are out there, but I want to try a new job.
>codebase
If you mean netcode then I agree. The game suffers from animation sliding, some strange delay on everything and too flashy animations.
Fuck spotify.
The next online FF is a battle royal, yoshida said he want to make something like fortnite, he stole WoW now he steal fortnite
You can joke but the intro/story to 1.0 blows ARR out of the water. That WALK FREEEEEE shit used to give people chills.
youtube.com
ARR is like half-assed saturday morning anime in comparison.
When it comes to "weighty" movement then GW2 hit the sweet spot for me. One of the few things they've done right.
I actually can't remember if I did or not. Maybe one time. When I came back people were just speed AoE grinding jobs to 50 and so all I really did was Dzemael, Primals, and grind Relic.
V has one of the best soundtracks in the series. VI is good but it doesn't hold up in comparison. IV is dogshit outside of a few specific good ones.
>ARR is like half-assed saturday morning anime in comparison.
At least it's enjoyable and not a burning garbage boat.
Rapture > trash > 1.0 = 2.0
Prove me wrong, you can't.
How do people post on the video game board and act like anything and everything to do with video games is cringe? How do people come to Yea Forums and act like tryhard normalfags? How do you people not get permabanned? How do the mods not give a shit at all? Cut your dick off and dilate.

>cower belowdecks and hope a high level was riding with me that can kill them
I really do miss shit like this, it adds so much to the experience
There are better individual pieces, but this is the best OST of all time.
I mean the code in general. In every interview Yoshida talks about how they can't add anything because of the Frankenstein code. The guy paints the entire games code as a shitty Frankenstein that they cobbled together and could never fix because the game grew exponentially, and by then it was too late. And yeah, I really enjoy flashy animations but there's ways to do it and ways not to. GW2 and BDO do them good, FFXIV animations have ZERO weight or motion to them. DRK is fucking terrible. Soul Eater...
How would you even do a story in a battle royale? As a spin off it might be cool though.
>everyone spawns in as a Freelancer
>run around and pick up job crystals and equipment
>random monster spawns like Behemoths and Morbols that require teamwork to take down

But 5.0 is rapture.
If you got Relic done, for one you have a higher tolerance for soulless MMO grind than I do by several orders of magnitude, but you also must have done CC at least once.
And dungeons in-between.
Your taste is objectively wrong, fuck off faggot.

Yeah you do your dailies and if you're tank/healer you can take a break and grind the highest level dungeon you could do
Seriously, I would give up any amount of playability for some cutscenes.
Alexander
I did not finish it in 1.0, but I did get to skip some steps I think once ARR came out? That shit was too autistic even for me, but I tried anyway.
palace of the dead if you're a dps
dungeon spam if you're a tank/healer, or more potd
alliance and main story roulette also give about an entire level's worth of xp so make sure to do those if they're available to you
There's several options for leveling jobs. You can spam fates or Dungeons, do beasttribe dailies or unlock Palace of the Dead and run that a couple of times. And daily roulettes will contribute a huge amount of exp every day, as well.
If you have access to the Heavensward or Stormblood expansions, the new Jobs added with those also just straight up start at 30 and 50, respectively.
Yeah but the game is thriving now
And Yoshi wants to end the big expansions at 7.0
Literally WHAT is stopping them from doing these godtier cutscenes at least for the last 3 major expansions of the game
How come nobody is bringing this to Yoshi's attention, isn't the game supposed to be story driven rather than gameplay focused
Tech Rapture > nuRapture > trash > Limsa
youtu.be
That's literally the same pic they used for Abalathia's Spine.
finalfantasy.fandom.com
It doesn't mean at all that they are working on a mainline FF game. There's no concrete evidence other than rumor mill shit coming from an anonymous shitposting board. Shut the fuck up.
Wait, was the Stormblood OST released in disc form?
Yes, with tsuku minion.
>Bringing a MNK to anything in 1.X, 2.X, 3.X, 4.X, 5.X
As opposed to what, funneling it into a decade of fucking FFXV and KH3 development? Why don't they actually put some money back into one of their big fucking cashcow games for a change?
You asked for a dev that worked on a single game for 15 years or more so I gave you Dwarf Fortress. Now you're backpedaling.
It literally failed so hard it had to be redone
>Emergency mission, 1 drop for 80 people lol!
okay
What do you guys think of the post-ARR pre-HW content? I thought it dragged on far too long
Do you feel nostalgic about FFXIV now? when i do titan on roulette i cant help but feel nostalgic, its an iconic fight.
Not him but they siphon all the fucking earnings from this game into other projects. They literally do the bare minimum to keep people playing so they can use the MMO to procure funds for their single-player projects. It's really shitty, too, because the entirety of FFXIV is this mediocre game that has an absolute fuckton of promise it never capitalizes on, and every so often you get glimmers of what it could really be if they just invested in it a little more.
They kind of starting to use mocap more, I believe Solus had new mocaped animations.
The five best FF soundtracks overall are 6, 8, Before Meteor, Tactics and Crystal Bearers. The others range generally from great to good, but those are my favorites.
HA HA TIME TO FINALLY USE SPOTIFY
Monk was meta in 2.X and has been meta since sigmascape
Everyone does.
Even the fucking devs think it drags.
getting thordan and final steps in trial roulette really fuck with me desu. HW was a simpler time....
sniff that chocobo, citizen
Adblock works on a web player, so you don't even need to pay for it.
They're cherrypicked as fuck, for every great cutscene in 1.0 theres 50 just like the ones we have now.
A shit engine and a fairly tight 3 month update schedule are probably bigger limitations on their cutscenes than a tight budget.
Square also has a habit of diverting resources from well-performing Projects to dumpster fires for some reason. FFXIV's devs regularly had to Help with XV and its DLCs, for example.
With XV finally dead and KH3 out, maybe they'll actually get to keep their staff this time.
lmao literally no reason to play the game anymore
That game was so exciting when no one really knew too much about what was going on. I remember getting killed by AoE because the high level passengers went onto the deck to deal with the skellies and I just had to see what was going on even though they told everone to stay in the hold. Good times.
Source on the devs thinking that? I started with Stormblood so I went in fresh and post-ARR is probably the worst part of the game for me
HW doesn't feel old to me yet, its 2.0 mostly.
>has been meta
>none of the #1 speed times for Alphascape have a MNK
lol
>isn't the game supposed to be story driven rather than gameplay focused
THE GAME IS FUCKING STORY DRIVEN. Do you realize how much fucking text is in this game and the fact that there's 2 fat as fuck physical lore books. I'm tired of fucking retards thinking that story is only how good cutscenes are presented and not the text. You're confusing cinematography with lore like a dumb fucking zoomer.
still one of the best moments in the MSQ. just after Minfillia and Urianger's story time about primals, you fully expect Iceheart to summon Shiva. You do not expect her to turn into her, and the chant she says before hand sends chills every time.
youtube.com
Listen to this shit and tell me the music isn't leagues better than anything else the game offers. If they put half the fucking effort into the game as soken does the music, it would be the best mmo out there.
The Crystarium is literally rapture. They were building the basic 3D draft for Crystarium and Yoshida came in with the Rapture assets and said "Here, use this instead."
That's why it ended up looking very different from the loading screen concept art.
>Thankfully I don't think we'll see another expac after Adoulin/Rhapsodies
I dunno about that; they recently announced that upcoming version updates will be smaller than usual because the dev team will be focusing on something big for the game's 20th anniversary.
HW really gets to me for some reason, but i also get that feeling with bcob t1-t9
>Shiva's heel-click still has the same effect 5 years later
>those NPCs
literally FFXI-2. We got robbed.
can you blame people for hoping for an actually interesting plot development in an otherwise creatively bankrupt game?
Mad
It was during fanfest q&a, Yoshi talked about maybe making some of the msq into side quests. We have no idea if it will ever happen though.
>went through 3 statics before clearing pepsiman pre nerf
You lack dedication user
>the only real plot developments are character deaths!
Brainlet tier. Go back to GoT, fag.
The entire game is filler
Don't push yourself too hard.
Other than meeting Minfilia's mom, I don't even remember what happened in those quests.
Hopefully the next expansion is garlean empire focused and the one after it is for the Ascians so we can get done with this shit already
Don't fucking get me started on this shit. I thought this would be the point the story took a mature turn and there would actually be consequences for important characters. Boy was I fucking wrong.
They do make good cutscenes time to time.
See: youtube.com
They are clearly capable but I imagine that it takes a lot of time to do and they can't afford that when patches are expected to come out every 3 months.
Well to be fair SB brought back a good portion of the 'dead' characters now
You can just TELL who joined during stormblood
fflogs.com
????
A lot of the top 10s for 11 have a monk too
>tfw she picks you
fflogs.com
Yeah nice try bud.
So I just unlocked Binding Coils of Bahamut, and for some odd reason it unlocked five levels at once, does each one have their own story that I need to complete to move on to the rest of it, or what?
As much as I love hw I feel the same. Used to love actually getting DF where literally everyone but me is completely new to Titan and looking for tips. This can still happen ofc but it was definitely more common back in the day. Simpler times man.
>echo
>posting echo logs
Apparently you can't, since I started in 3.1, but I'm sure you'll just tell me I'm lying
>6.0: garlemald FOR REAL THIS TIME
>7.0: shadowniggas on the moon
There are short cutscenes throughout, but they're not required to move on.
Show me exactly where these reaction moments are
So where's the MNK echo logs?
NAME ONE GOOD SONG I DARE YOU
It's mostly because 3 melee comp is very good if you can have a good uptime. Which means you would never bring 3 melees in o12s.
Nowhere because all the groups who are good stopped playing long before Echo was implemented because post-echo logs are meaningless
I get that the Rapture art deco style looks nice but there's something really awkward with suspending disbelief when the last great bastion of a doomed world is a bunch of glass domes.
Every time Nael moves or teleports around and begins an attack you dumb motherfucker. It's not like ARR where the entire fight is a strict script.
I want SAMs to return to not existing. Ruin the post quality of the board and ruin the armor designs of striking gear
you just need to complete turn 5 to unlock the next set
most of them have cutscenes but the only important ones are 5,9,12(i think, it's been a while), and 13 so you can skip the rest if you want
They also introduced a new Scion specifically to kill her off for cheap drama.
Shadow of the Body.
Jackie Chan
literally the entire fucking ost, except for the kugane song, that song is trash
Oh yeah. That shit was retarded
Imagine listening to something and not knowing where it came from, would that make it easier to enjoy?
>all song names are in moonrunes
Am I retarded or what?
Got it thanks, time to see if my FC is willing to go through it, as fuck waiting 30+ mins on Duty Finder
>2 weeks until the eScape remix from the Job Action trailer
Fuck, the wait hurts.
haha what? all striking gear is still monk garbage
and triple melee combo only exists because of monk's absurd damage output in a crit-heavy comp. Technically the only job that could be considered "off-meta" right now would be SAM since its only use is being slightly better than NIN in M&F
Thank god they went with the Rapture concept, this one looks bad.
SAM deserves to exist. I'd rather have a useless job be the containment job for retards who don't know how to play than DRG
Oh yeah, Moonbreedher
Am I doing something wrong? Everything is in moonrunes. Never used Spotify.
>breeding that thing
Stop posting anytime Urianger
Wasn't the duel with Hoary Boulder in there as well? I liked that.
It's amazing just how fucking ugly Roe women are
youtube.com
best song to come out of Stormblood
They just ripped the tracks from the bluray discs. They were in Japanese too.
Who would breed that?
>femroe players STILL circlejerk over shrek skrillex because she's the only representation they got except for tranny mutton chop grandma
Catching up on the MSQs and i just did the white tiger trial blind and i managed to dodge and predict everything without a guide...are they running out of ideas?
The Entire Far Edge of Fate ST is a goddamn masterpiece.
doing that as a PLD and mirroring his buffs made it very kino
Yeah I did hear about that, it'd obviously be great to see, especially since that mobile version appears to be in a development hell of sorts. I'd definitely come back for more story if they do surprise us, and hopefully give us a little more than just ambu/dynamis d/omen. Hopefully the ps2 dev kit meme doesn't end up holding them back, either.
Well that's not particularly helpful for Westerners looking to browse the OST.
That's the easy mode version of the fight but even in the actual fight Byakko is one of the easiest primals
>everyone praises HW for being a good expac by itself
>HURR BUT THE POST EXPAC CONTENT
Stupid raidtranny
>i just did the white tiger trial blind and i managed to dodge and predict everything without a guide
That just means you have a functioning brain.
t. Urianger
Calling it now: she's not really dead and we'll re-encounter her on the First with amnesia.
MSQ trials are easy mode. Try the Extreme version. Even then Byakko is one of the easiest Extreme primals.
The monologue Urianger gives about her after her death is the best voice acting in the entire game. Added a bit of sadness to the situation, as it was obviously only Urianger actually cared about her.
Who is your favorite XIV content creator/influencer?
i'm glad that they're killing off the garo event
destroying people in 72 man frontlines is the most fun i've had since 3.4
Speaking of Urianger, i hope he die in SHB, they can't just all survive everytime
pls no, I've had enough of 'not dead' characters now thanks Yoshi
4 fucking patches of Titan fetch quests
>the best voice acting in the entire game
You mean Edmont finding out about Haurchefant's death.
>listening to flac with a gaming headset
best boss theme coming through
You're retarded
Story stuff is supposed to be braindead easy. Anytime something mandatory is ever so slightly challenging, people bitch and whine endlessly until it is trivialized.
Edmont's memoirs was the most kino shit ever.
youtube.com
It actually is already the best MMO out there, but only because MMOs are a dead genre. I mean what the fuck else are you going to play, WoW Classic? Tree of Savior? Planetside 2? Come on.
I still feel a bit nostalgic going through thanalan. I took my time leveling, the music is burned into my brain and immediately takes me back to low level days.
Based.
Cringe.
You right...
Lets see how the story will turn out this time, you all are hyping the writer so this better be good.
Who GNB on day one here?
I guess you don't like music then.
I've only gotten WAR and DRK to HW and BLM only at 15, why is the WAR quest so shit compared to DRK. Even BLM lalafest meme quest looks to become more interesting than WAR. Does it get better?
>Apple
I mean you're right. FFXIV is the only MMO right now that actually has production values and high population. The rest are lower population or have production values the equivalent of a mobile title.
it actually gets worse
I will try it but i have a feeling i wont like the job and will go back to PLD
>Alternate dimension story
Don't get your hopes up.
I'm just struggling to think of what else would be big enough to be worth cutting down on 3 years of updates to make. As much as I'd like a single-player launcher to ensure the game survives after the servers shut down, it's likely never going to happen, so another expansion is really all that comes to mind.
DRK has the best job quests in the game. Even the 50-60 job quests which are the worst part of it are still better than the WAR quests. WAR gets pretty shafted. The only good thing about the entire questline is the humor in the final 70 quest with Curious George's waifu
getting drk to 80 first so I can forget about it
I wish they went with time travel instead
>content creator
Is Garland Tools content? If yes, then whoever created it.
this
>same person that wrote the DRK quest and Steppe
>somehow this will be bad
DPS mains will see peak kino
>implying it's not going to be time travel
And there are people who think being the WoD means we'll be in touch with the darkside and take no BS. When in reality, it'll still be the same WoL
That particular scene is excellent too. But I have to give the nod to the Urianger scene as its so much longer, and Emery keeps the mood perfect for the entirety.
Other favorites I have:
Iceheart summoning Shiva into herself
Raubhan at the dinner when he finds out about Nanamo
Haurchefaunt's speech about a knight's duty before The Vault
The girl that roofies the WoL
Aymeric at the dinner date with the WoL
Ilberd. YOU SHALL HAVE MY PAIN, MY LONGING
Zenos offering Fordola the power she wants to accomplish her goals
Zenos as he offers his hand in friendship to the WoL
Yotsuyu summoning Tsukuyomi into herself, as well as her final dialogue concerning Asahi
Gosetsu holding Yotsuyu's broken body
All 4 of the bosses in Orbonne's Monastery, especially Agrias
Alisaie saying goodbye to Ba Gu at Maelstrom Headquarters
>hurrr post ARR pre HW quests sucked
>Haurchefant's introduction
>Alphinaud's character growth
>introduction of Midgardsormr
>important lore surrounding the Ascians, Moenbryda, sword of light,etc
>the entire setup for Ilberd (and Stormblood)
>Hoary Boulder and Coultenet's development in the background.
Man fuck you bandwagoners. These quests were more interesting than the entire 2.0 storyline.
It's most definitely going to be both. As in time passing differently over there and shit.
me. gonna be world first lala gunbreaker
Most jobquests are complete shit. DRK is generally far better than the others, 60-70 is arguable the best writing in the game. WAR post-50 is sort of okay if you like slapstick comedy; BLM is good from 30-50 and forgettable after.
The main issue is that they're too dragged out. The storyline about meeting and helping the Domans is fine, but there's no reason to have you spend 20 minutes sniffing chocobos during said storyline.
G'raha will either put himself to sleep again or do a noble sacrifice to save the CT. Eitherway, we can't use CT anymore for time/shard travel. Only for PvP
>Got to A3S
>Had to transfer that dumb fucking debuff with my healer
>Stack on him and wiggle a bit for 5 second, shit doesn't transfer
>Wipe
>Wait for CDs
Gee wasn't Gordias fun? Midas was the best raid tier in the game though, hands down
>1.0 had a countdown timer built in
>It took like 3 years for ARR to get one
Lmao yoshi is a hack
Welp. What other classes have kino quests like DRK?
Well if you bought the discs themselves they come translated with menus and all. But the music files ripped directly are still Japanese so it's Spotify's lazy part.
50-60 sam is pretty good.
i personally liked the 60-70 BLM questline quite a bit. i don't think anything really compares to DRK though unfortunately.
>limited resources purisu andasutando
>proceeds to pump an excess of resources into scripting the TRUST system even adding in custom animations.
YOSHIDAAAAAAAA
I'm hoping if we meet Ronso tribes in Shadowbringers we get a remix of youtube.com
ALC
The Trust system is just the Squadron AI system with minor adjustments.
She's the lead weiter but she can't write literally everything. There'll be bad parts, no doubt, but I'm confident all the core parts will be kino.
Rogue 1-30, NIN 30-50 and 60-70.
Can I still call myself straight if the first words that came to my mind when I saw SB Thancred were "stylishly sexy"
Also the most boring segments of the entire MSQ in my memory are the stupidly long go to the other side of the world several times quests pre Totorak Dungeon and pre Titan.
nin is pretty good
sam is good from 50-60, okay from 60-70
i liked mnk but i don't think most people cared for it
Xenos, just watching him be a dick is entertaining.
I hope G'raha ends up being an antagonist. Basically holding the WoL's friends' hostage to help hold off the Ardor
B-but SAM is cringe and gay
Good, gona level BLM while I wait for shadowniggers
>Healer
The Summoner questlines are alright, the 30-50 ones are mediocre but the 50-70 quests are good. The PGL quests and the 60-70 monk quests are good but the 30-60 monk quests suck other than the cat waifus in the 50-60 quests. The rogue/ninja questlines up to 50 are good. The 50-60 SAM quests are good too
I can assure you, the Japanese will get there first.
youtube.com
Best theme in 2.0 onwards
All he did was call them over to the First. G'raha is a member of Louisoix's Circle of Knowing so he's already worked alongside all of them except the twins.
>Haurchefant's introduction
Wasn't he introduced during your leveling adventures in Coerthas? I remember saving his best friend from the crazy heredic hunters (and hating the massive witchdrops eating all my HP because I was messing with the menus while auto-running).
Each character is differently scripted in how they cross (or try to cross) the bridge in that boss fight.
That depends, how insecure are you in your own sexuality?
Judging by your post, you're extremely in the closet.
Then NA first
BLM 30-50, SAM 50-60 are both good, as is NIN 30-50.
Do those earrings even do anything?
there are no evil sharlayans, except for the bibliothecs who'll be the antagonist in a future expansion
Are you attracted to him or what he's wearing? If the former, you're gay sorry
He is thinking about the future, trusts are going to be important going forward especially when the game reach the current ffxi state.
>ALC
>Healer
Wew lad
ninja
alchemist
blacksmith
sam 50-60
The core combat scripting was already done since Patch 4.1 The only thing they have to do for Trusts is implement the character text and minor quirks.
Yeah he's introduced around level 40 and if you played since launch he showed up in a few events and you got to see him be even more of a weirdo.
latter, is there still hope for me?
Did I make a mistake making my main on Balmung? At first it was amusing people watching but it's kinda getting old
Yes, you can appreciate a man's outfit without being gay.
become one of them
Yes but he's pretty forgettable because the english script censored all of his dialogue and made him boring and generic
Just fucking world visit, christ.
WAR accepts that it's JQ line is a giant joke in StB
at the very least it's not fucking PLD, which goes from good and only gets progressively worse and cheesier for literally no reason
Yes unless you only care about RP
Got any examples? I love "toxicity".

Someone else said nobody cares about MNK quest, why is that?
It was a mistake to be on Crystal datacenter at all. The average player there is worse in PVE than any other datacenter.
I love Thancred and I am gay myself. He is just a sexy man. Try sucking a dick and you will know if you enjoy it or not. Anal feels really good so I recommend that as well kek.

Tournament arc had just the right amount of cheese, thank you.
like all glamour it depends on what your character looks like. hair color, skin color, height, race, all that matters.
Why are some XIV content creators so fucking fuckable?
Uraeus coat, Shire, Sky Pirate, Skallic, Flame Lieutenant's Coat.
>first reply is politics/racism drama
lmao not even porn is safe nowadays
>XIV content creators
fuck tataru and every lala character in the story, they always ruin the atmosphere with their existence, everyime i see a lala start talking i skip the cutscene
Fucking hell XIVchads an hour later and this threads pretty much over.
Calm yourselves
>at 60
High Allagan :^)
Remember that even though they won't be getting weapons below 60, you can still glam tank gear like ironworks or dreadwyrm.
>content creators
A lot of attractive people play FFXIV
>content creators
>tfw new DRK artifact weapon is as close as we'll ever get to this
As a fantasy? I get fantasies where I get raped but wouldn't want that to happen in reality all the time.
i miss 1.0 considerably less faggots ruining my game
>He forgot Ultimate
Now post the penis one.
I'm worried none of the weapons other than the Squall CE bonus and the AF gunblade won't look complete shit.
Gutsfags are on par with Sasuke/Kiritofags
I miss 3.0 launch, there were a lot less wowfugees playing the game and no level/story skips so everyone had to earn their spot instead of buying it.
the thirst is real
definitely, ffxiv is alright but I wouldn't bother with it if it weren't for the amazing music
I can't just not play it and only listen to the music either, I kinda need the memories of cool trials etc to make the music REALLY great
>why do you listen to video game music
youtube.com
It gives me the only sense of calmness to retain my sanity. This music keeps me at ease. We live in a broken fallen world, and I don't like jewish music which is 98% of shit in the US/EU these days.
