Yoshi P got asked if FFXIV would get 1.0 servers just like Blizzard did with WoW classic

Is the moron asking the question joking? If so, that's fine, but shoot him if he is serious

Boy I sure love this groupthink.

I bet you also think current XIV is the best MMO out there and you love the fact that each healer is basically the same now.

It's a shitpost question, yeah.

You think you do but you don't!

THE DRUG THAT GIVES THE WRETCHED MEANING

1.0 had issues, but it wasn't irredeemable. See: XIV is actually around today, and isn't buried. It also wasn't the reason SE was stuck in a hole - it didn't help but wasn't the only reason. 1.0 was rushed to release BECAUSE of their financial state, but to ignore everything else surrounding it is inaccurate.

Did you forget there was two years where it was being actively played, or do you have brain damage?

Its nostalgic cause during prog healer LB3 was the only way we got past grand cross omega.

They literally destroyed the entire fucking game because it was so awful. It barely fucking functioned, even beyond the design decisions. People have these fanciful ideas of what they think the game COULD have been instead of remembering what the game actually was, a steaming pile of shit.

By we I mean my static.

>Boy I sure love this groupthink.
>Having taste is now bad
FFXIV has a massive amount of flaws and is nowhere close to the best MMO ''ever'', but it is one of the best MMOs at the moment. Which is not saying much becuase it's competition can pretty much be described as ''A rotting corpse being raped by jews'', ''A virtual dollhouse for libtards, furries and aspies'' and ''Totally not a worse version of skyrim and you are forced to play with sub 80IQ tards''. My point is that the game is atleast better now than it was back in 1.0

Trust me, I actually played the game in 1.0 and 1.23. 1.23 was a MASSIVE improvement on the systems in the game, but it was nowhere near ''good'', just ''good enough''. It was unfucking-salvageable and YoshiP and his crew knew this, yet they still tried to get it to work. What a waste of fucking time that was.

Do you want to play a game like 1.0 but that was actually good? Go play FFXI, even after all of the butchering the QoL patches has done to the game, it's still pretty fun to play and is a much better game than 1.0 ever was or ever could be.

BLU is the definition of smoothbrained. Literally just use like 4 moves

na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/13330348/

By the time it was the last patch, most people enjoyed it. The primary issue of 1.0 was a lack of content, some confusing design choices (such as market wards, miscommunication about exp (the way they framed it was so terrible, they should've just called it rested exp like every other MMO), imbalanced classes), but that doesn't mean there weren't some neat ideas that should've been expanded upon in current XIV. Some of these were even fixed by the time it was deleted out of existence (such as market wards - they basically functioned as the MB does now, with the option of using the original design as intended). Classes were rebalanced, jobs were introduced to give people more FF fanservice, albeit this came at the loss of some of the customization and neat aspects that each class had (i.e. CNJ had all the elemental magic, THM was more of a light/dark mage ala both of their respective lore).

1.0 had issues. It was forced on an engine that wasn't meant for MMOs (and is one of the reasons why nights in 1.0 were so weird - Crystal Tools literally didn't support it or something), it was rushed to release, and didn't have enough content at launch. However, it was not unsalvageable. If it wasn't, XIV wouldn't be here today. 1.0's rebirth was a marketing decision and a way to get the game on an engine they could actually tailor to their needs.

I mean at least a large majority of the Animas are worth grind. That's more than can be said for most of the shit Eureka gave us.
The big one for SAM is all the people who never used Hagakure to burn sen for kenki and just Midared all the time. So much so that they've out right gotten rid of it in SHAD and replaced it with a move that straight up gives you 50 Kenki. I'm going to miss Hagakure.

>seventhumbral.org/
I have no idea if the server is actually still online, but atleast you can ''see'' what the game looked like and experience first hand why YoshiP and crew decided that loading screens are better than a 5min long tunnel or copypasted terrain.

Go tank Titan Hard or EX as BLU, you have to know the fight really well to survive. Was some of the most fun I've had tanking since I had to figure out his boss-script and Diamondback accordingly to tankbuster punches.

Most people just botted it. Or did it extremely slowly via namazu and moogle quests

I'm jealous of JP DF. I thought it was an over exaggeration.

Looks pretty good right now. What's the problem, miss TK?

I know there are a few unfinished private servers, but I want to actually experience the gameplay and maybe get the 1.0 story done if I can stomach the game long enough to get through it. That would probably be best with an EXP boosted server if any private server theoretically ever got that complete to begin with. I'm not really interested in wandering around a totally non-interactable world, but it'd be better than nothing I guess.

Maybe someday, I'm sure there's not much demand though

Beast tribe dailies if you cheap. Takes forever, but it will get you there.

Having another crafter buddy makes leveling them trivial though, have them spoonfeed you HQ levequest items. It only takes 10-15 items to gain 5 levels in ARR by doing courier leves, and only 16.5 days to gather up 100 leves by not using any. You can probably go 15-60 or higher with those alone.

If you don't mind the effort, just going through the crafting log and making one of everything, preferably HQ, will get you lots of exp and most it sells for a decent amount on the MB. I made close to 15m crafting everything from levels 1 through 50 across all crafters.

Being an omni crafter garners respect for a reason

>give us FFXI classic. I'd play that.
YES, this user knows what's good.
It will probably never happend unless there is a huge repopulation of the game if the rumored mobile port ever comes out. Fuck, I would also just be happy to play the current version of the game since just like OSRS, it would be one of the very few ''not shit'' games on mobile.

SAM

Only in the kitchen in mor dhona. I don't really go out looking for him though.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the only use for Hagakura is to get enough Keni for Guren?

It's always awkward whenever I sprint in dungeons because the other three don't ever use it so I'm just running ahead by myself.

Go dragoon for the extra lore Easter eggs in heavenward

SB was my first time playing and I didn't have sprint on my bar till I realised I needed it for flare markers in o4s.

Wait what, it was actually real? I always tought that the mobile port was just a rumor, but atleast it looked pretty good before they pulled the plu-

I hope it stays dead.

1.0 is the real deal. Face it, most people will not have what it takes to play it. The purpose of this game is not to entertain, it was made entirely to scare of the dumbed down masses and cater only to the selected elite of online gaming. Only the few, chosen people who are blessed with the soul of the warrior can stand up to the challenges this game offers. It is the definition of a real mature, complex game only for the most dedicated and talented.

If you are not one of them, then tough luck for you mate, but remember; you have no right to complain about anything in the game because it is not the games fault that you're a total fail who cant stand a real MMORPG. Guess what? Square-Enix don't even want you to play their game, inferior one. Go back to WoW.

2. If you don't think a game should require you to use a walkthrough or wiki page to find out the locations of vendors, Quest givers or other important NPCs and locations, you are a lazy, spoiled little child and must immediately go back to WoW (which obviously is your favorite game, kiddo) . You are not worthy of playing Final Fantasy XIV. The same rule applies to game mechanics such as interface, combat and crafting. If you are too stupid to figure out how these things work by yourself, GTFO. Square Enix shouldn't have to bother with making tutorials just because you're to lazy and stupid to figure things out.

3. Real hardcore gamers (aka worthy human beings) don't require ingame rewards for them to keep on playing. Mounts? Such vanity is only implemented for lazy impatient people who cant face the test of endurance. Quests? a true passionate gamer does not demand such a luxury. 1 story mission each 5 levels is more than enough and it is disrespectful and demanding to ask for any more.

4. In general, it is always the customer who should adapt to fit a product, not the other way around. The paying customer has no right to voice their opinions on the product they are paying for.

SAM, DRG is just too inflexible to allow you to fix mistakes.

Attached: 1384740203394.png (830x900, 63K)

They probably don't do raids/dungeons that much, so they are used to just using mounts to get around, meaning they just removed sprint from the bar to put something else there.

It's a phone game that they said has a PC client of some kind

I just realized I’ve had my Company Seals maxes out for like weeks and I have no idea if there’s anything worth spending them on

>durrhurr i swallow pf memes without question
SAM's base rotation is exceptionally simple but optimization separates the wheat from the chaff very quickly, (always kaiten'ing Higanbana, use of Hagakure to fuel more Shintens or keep Higanbana from falling off, cast-times associated with iaijutsu possibly becoming a problem depending on boss, etc), its rotation is more complicated than a considerable number of other DPSes

What would you consider to be a big-brain job? I really wouldn't consider any of them to require even a tepid mental-capacity, let alone a high one. Getting good at a job is a combination of rotation practice and fight knowledge

This reads like the Barkley save points

Venture's. Raziqsand.

Should i use Hagakura off CD?

You do use it for Guren but that has a long cooldown. It's predominantly for Shinten. Weaving in 300 potency stabs is where the large majority of SAM's damage comes from. Is Hagakure up? Burn those gauges. Is it down? Go for Midare.

Save it for when you have three sens to eat and you have room for that 60 kenki. Otherwise pop it when you notice Higanbana is about to fall off so you can get to 1 sen faster.

Why are the flames so terrible at PVP? You can look at the map any time in any frontlines match and you'll see a handfull of players on killstreak within adders and maelstrom, and NEVER any within the flames.

Since the few surviving videos of 1.0 is mostly dungeon runs and exploration after the 1.2 release, this video should help flesh out what the 1.0 ''leveling'' aspect of the game was like.

No, a healers and the other dps were fucking up so bad I waited in case we needed a healer lb3. Otherwise I would have used it right away.

I'm not gonna LB at all, it'll lower my parse.

Stop saying 4.0 Samurai is big brain.
Samurai does NOT have a high skill ceiling now. Hagakure allows you to line up anything with zero brain power. The only optimization possible is uptime, which you should be doing anyway, and somehow bringing yourself to put Siegan on your bar.
The thing is this is 4.0 Samurai. 5.0 Samurai won't be letting people use Hagakure as a crutch anymore so a very strict Skill Speed quota will be needed and 100% perfect up time will be required to line up your abilities without drifting since there's no more "lol just press Hagakure a few GCDs before trick and throw out a Higanbana". This will also change the way Samurai handles downtime as it will be a mandatory drift away from party buffs that will require a different correction in every fight.
Samurai will be the big brain DPS in 5.0.

I'm level 70 on two classes and I have literally no idea what any Limit Break does besides Healer 3.

what fight

GC daily turn ins HQ only, every levequest you have and beast tribes for fastest leveling. It will only take a month or so to max them all out.

takes 46 wipes exactly
you're almost there chief

Thirded. 75 cap was perfect, as soon as it went past that it lost everything.

They pissed off the raid crowd in diadem 2. You could get a weapon with higher ilvl and random stats than the raid weapons. Shit was pretty funny.

That's how I play it. Do all the rear positionals, then do all the flank, and just alternate it back and forth. I don't care that I could squeeze in another flank instead of a dot, I'm not bouncing around like a retard, even if I do it for non-positional fights.

>LB push through has been the saving grace
think of it this way, if you pop off the LB3 ASAP, you'll get another LB1 or 2 to finish the fight off, giving you even more rDPS, saving it for the end (especially with the classic dungeon 'pop it off at the last couple percent and have the boss die before the damage goes out) means less dps. As a general rule, don't let LB sit at full, and if the boss is at 10% or less and the LB hasn't been used, use the LB.

Unless you think everyone's retarded and you might need a healer LB, in which case you can hold off.

Kaiten doesn’t affect Higanbana you absolute RETARD

I don't believe you.

so random stat gacha weapons are only OK if its locked behind relic weapon grind, got it

It does, actually. Go test on a striking dummy, it affects every tick of the DoT as well as the initial strike.

Frankly, your buff and debuff would fall off if you aren't simply looping the positionals like this anyway. Your DOT technically has more time if you are at GL3, but honestly not that much.

It was 5 ilvls higher is what made them mad. So their special raid weapons were made obsolete.

Hi Neo Exdeath!

It's revealed at the end of the questline just keep going.

You'll find out when you finish the questline

I rarely have any reoccuring purchases that drain my wallet, but on occasion I have something that can empty it. For instance, I was trying to complete Eureka completely last week and spent around 2m on an elemental fending armor and enough logograms to unlock all 56 of them. It's those little nickle and dime transactions that really add up.

The only thing to really spend gobs of money on are houses though, which serve no practical purpose for most people.

How do you "run" an FC? Everyone just does there own thing and hang and talk and do stuff together.

that's right
also align reload and your other oGCDs for wildfire
you want to refresh your dmg buff after you used wildfire

So far, XIV's handled most of its story well, but ShB does have the potential to go full retard like WoW and have us fight good shit for contrived reasons. I hope we don't wind up fighting sin eaters for dumb reasons or saving ascians.

Sin is the act of daring to keep living. For living is a selfish act. Selfishness is sin. Even if you went to live alone, naked, in a mountain cave you are taking up minimal amounts of food and water and a living space some other creature could have. The only moral act is to die and leave no descendants nor trace of whatever ideology you held.

The sin eaters just want to help you make the right moral choice.

You can either play the marketboard and try to sell mats for certain leveling ranges when there's a lack of them, or just gather maps once a day and do those.

The real money maker is to level a crafter to at least 40 or so and use your gatherer to get mats for them. srsly while struggling to make gathering level 70 shit worth my time I found that I could make like 300k in 20-30 minutes just by feeding shit to my blacksmith so I could make base materials for popular leves

God, why do so many faggots wear the head bandage.

FF3 seems to be the main inspiration for much of the overarching light/dark conflict, namely that neither is actually necessarily bad and without one the world falls apart. The Sin Eaters aren't actually good, at least, they're just light-aspected voidsent demons as far as the lore is concerned, and it adds another parallel of Mhach vs. Amdapor.

Chill out, Seymour.

Most close knit FCs don't require "running." The ones that do basically have whatever leadership there is make up raid times and other things, because once you grow to a large size (Say, 40 or so people) someone has to call the shots because you won't ever have enough people reaching a consensus on things to avoid pissing someone off.

I personally don't care to bother with an FC, but the housing does give everyone a shared place in the world and is valuable enough on a large server that it's a fairly important resource. The other people see it in the same light as a flag they can wave when they do good, the trouble is no one besides myself has ever cleared anything worthwhile, and I've had to pug every extreme and savage I've done because they quit after one or two wipes. If it wasn't RL friends, I would remove them all in a heartbeat.

Put on a real helmet, Mr. Tia.

Obviously there is still evil on the first if the Sin Eaters had to intervene.

Light isn't good and darkness isn't good, but both are necessary and the world starts to fuck up on a base level if they're thrown out of balance. If light is too strong there are Warriors of Darkness to restore balance, if darkness is too strong there are Warriors of Light.

That's generally how it goes most of the time, but you still need someone on top to do shit like organize events (people don't try to involve themselves in fucking anything even if you ask so a big event planned a week or two in advance is good to keep people invested), solve disputes (my most fucking hated part of the job), and generally let people know that there's someone running the ship that they can go to with questions/concerns/bitching. Essentially just being the person recognized as 'leader' is half of the job. Pretty much any experienced member of an FC could do it, but no one wants to.

I really don't think that's how they work. Especially considering Sin Eaters are people that got swallowed by the light, same as voidsent.
I don't think they even "eat sin" either, rather than just plain eat people.

How is that ironic?

It may have just been nostalgia pandering but Ivalice really is some of the greatest content the game has gotten

their original selves on the first pretty much are the same visually but their appearances on the source (and why they have their artifact armors/weapons and all that) are a "don't worry about it" answer seeing as you could make a character that's identical to any of them

I'm guessing a lot of people don't read their fucking tooltipis

How can such an annoying character have become so perfect?

The crystals on the source were becoming de-aspected (signifying another incoming calamity) in response to you liberating mhiggers and doma, because that was you making the light too strong, meaning doing good deeds was actually bad for the world. Same shit happened when Arbert was saving his world from evil but then that turned out to be a bad thing because too much good = too much light = apocalypse. Unless there's a better explanation for all this, it's just fucking retarded because it means the optimal world is one where there is world peace but every once in a while they slaughter some town just to keep the balance of the world in check or something.

They're probably just called Sin Eaters as a reference to what the light thinks its doing. By killing people, the Sin Eaters probably feel like they're absolving those of sin and saving them from darkness. It thinks its work is just.

To be honest, we have no idea how all of this will play out. Hydaelyn and Zodiark might legitimately not want light/void worlds, or they might be perfectly happy with what's going on.

Seeing how Hydaelyn is said to be getting weaker as time progresses, yet we're still somehow in danger of a flood of light, it's probable that floods of light are entirely different issues that actually don't benefit Hyd just like we've been told. And if that's true, the Void isn't helping Zodiark either.

We know as Warriors of Light, we're pretty much Hydaelyn's champions and generally do what she says, but we have no idea what her end goal actually is. The same goes for Zodiark, we know nothing of Zod himself, only that the Ascians want to restore him to power and by causing calamities and rejoining shards, he's gaining in strength to do so. Seeing as the 13th became the void though, it's probable that not all shards have to be rejoined for Zodiark to rise, otherwise the Ascians would've failed already.

Judging by our actions, we're mainly seeking to preserve the status quo by defeating Ascian plots like primal summonings and calamity bringing along with stopping floods of light from causing mass death, which is likely Hydaelyn's goal as well. Zodiark's is probably somewhat simple as well, perhaps seeking to free himself from his prison and reunite with Hydaelyn to make themselves whole, but all of this is guessing and conjecture. It's said the Ascians and Zodiark thrives on chaos, and by guessing on the duality of the two, it's like that Hydaelyn probably thrives on order.

Yet so much is still wrong and his lore is an uninteresting blight on the game

deeds done against dark beings aren't always good deeds
elidibus is desperately trying to keep a balance and we're fucking it all up with no regard for balance because mommy crystal says so

>Yoshi-P riding in to chop Blufevers head off

There are so many fucking amazing crafter AF pieces that I would kill to glamour on a combat class honestly.

Japanese trailer is cut a little bit better.
According to Solus, a certain culture (maybe before any of the calamities) through great prayer and sacrifice summoned the will of the planet which changed the way the world worked.

I keep hearing dancing mad. There's a lone piano playing though .

Good god as if FFXIV needs to be more anime.

I'm amazed, however, that you think that anything that isn't hard anime is automatically not shit.

putting -eater on literally anything else is cooler

Sin Eater, World Eater, Soul Eater, Light Eater, etc

If by interact you mean be around. You can play this entire game without ever having to "interact". But it's an MMO. If you're not a complete sperg the "most"you'll ever have to do is say hello or ask about mechanics. If you're too much of a sperg for that go play a single player game instead of scumming up an online game.

You can glamour it. To DOH equipment. But this would look kinda retarded in battle.

Dancing Mad plays for a bit but they flick it off later.

I like the idea of limited jobs. I do lament that BLU had to die for it, but it would be a good way to flesh out 1.0 Classes or give us access to skills the proper Jobs don't get anymore.

And the forces of darkness are the ones who perform evil deeds, meaning evil deeds are necessary for the world not to get fucked up. The game is literally telling us that we shouldn't eliminate tyrants and war and oppression because that all needs to exist for the planet to not get wiped.

>deeds done against dark beings aren't always good deeds
Everything we've seen so far has been exactly that though. The player will obviously be doing "dark deeds" by defeating the light enemies which ironically act evil by murdering everyone, which is a shitty cop-out.

why do people always ask this? why do people always want to know how little they can interact with other people? do you know this is an mmo? do you know this is a multiplayer game?

>The same goes for Zodiark, we know nothing of Zod himself, only that the Ascians want to restore him to power and by causing calamities and rejoining shards, he's gaining in strength to do so.
Now that we know they're primals for 100% certain they probably mean "summon their god" in the most literal sense, that Zodiark is definitely dead and they're going to restore life to the Moon and/or slam him into Hydaelyn at high velocity to restore them to their precursor god. Probably then a light/dark balance wouldn't even be necessary since they'd cancel eachother out, unless floods of light/darkness have nothing to do with the gods after all (even beyond their capacity to prevent them through a mortal) and then we're just fucked.

Single player games don't have nearly as much content/stuff to do. I like grinding and the only games that have that in meaningful ways are MMOs, which also recent new stuff constantly.

That is a sin you know.

What probably happen is Arbert and company while were "warriors of light" they half assed it. They probably didn't go after "small" sins like stealing, throwing rocks at disabled kid, bullying, lying, cheating, laziness, drunk driving, etc.

So the Sin Eaters came in because Arbert was just sloppy.

How did Yda become an archon? Even a street rat like Thancred learned some magic and had some scholar rubbed on him. How did Yda just stays sub 50iq this whole time and be considered an equal to other archons/scions?

Not even to DoH really, since it would still only show for the original job. It's one of the things that pisses me off about crafter gear, best you can do is glamor a generic set for it, using a specific class only works for that class.

I thought about actually getting the artifact set for each crafter, but it takes up too much bag space (Though I could make room if I wanted to), but even worse, it doesn't have the requisite CP to allow for end game AFK crafting, which is just too much of a money maker to pass up.

FFVIII xpac confirmed. It means this expansion is going to be kino.

Light= Order
Dark= Chaos
Extreme order? everyone's fucking cleaned, purged and the only thing remaining is the autistic Sin Eater purge squads. Extreme chaos? ancap hell where you try to get any and all aether for yourself. Chaotic ancaps squads is all that remain.

let me detail the fashion in which you will be "interacting with other people". At level 15 you will have to do a dungeon with 3 other people. This cannot be skipped nor ignored, it is part of the Main Scenario questline.

You will be doing many, many dungeons with other people throughout levelling up. You won't have to talk to them - though you probably should, you might make a fucking friend for once - you can just run through wordlessly and get it done. You will also have to do boss fights called Trials with other people, which initially are 4 man content but will become 8 man content later on.

These are not avoidable. You will have to do them. If that is too much for you, fuck off.

It's frustrating how useless crafter af gear is when they go through the trouble of making it.

It starts at around 1:31:03

Griever was also practically confirmed as a boss in the raid by the comment on the WoL fighting their imagination.

Attached: FF8_Griever.png (946x895, 363K)

I have no idea if Solus is telling the truth, but now that you mention it, it does seem like a plausible course of action for the Ascians. Rejoining the worlds is shunting all the shards' aether back to the source, and all that aether would allow for one bitchin' summoning. Furthermore, the moon is considered both Zodiark's prison and corpse, so if he's actually dead, summoning him might be the only way to "restore" him.

>the game is only fun or interesting if you know everything they've ever done
brainlet.

is ultimecia confirmed as a boss?

You're just proving my point though. Murdering people via vigilantism is edgy and dark-aspected, so in a 'healthy' world there should be lots of people violently taking justice into their own hands, because rule of law and order are too light-aspected and would ruin the world. Ironically, some elite kiddy diddler who protects himself via his status and therefore needs to be murdered for justice would be a dark-aspected person anyway, so we should in fact let him live so he keeps diddling kiddies and generating darkness.

what's that on the right?

An ideal world has both light and darkness being used for good. Light to help everyone and protect the weak. Dark to punish those the light can't get to.

gay and cringe

>there are people who play XIV because it's a popular mmo and not because they enjoy the FF series
This will never not bother me.

Failure of the system, imo. I do think it's convenient to have one set of gear for all crafters, but having specific armor for each is fine too if it came to it.

I have a feeling ShB is going to fuck with crafters enough that it's going to be exceedingly difficult to craft HQ stuff from NQ mats but trivial to make with HQ ones, leading to crafting gear becoming less important to pentameld and cap out CP for, which will probably make them viable.

that's always been how it works though

That very concept got a president elected.

Why do Calamity rejoin worlds? Is it just bad things happen = dark = less influence from Hydaelyn?

>deeds done against dark beings aren't always good deeds

Most of what we do is literally just perpetuating a cycle of violence that started with people being assholes to beast tribes and ignoring agreements made. We're putting down the people that are lashing out against the people that decided to occupy their lands with the only means available to them.

Can I add you if I ever need some armor crafted.

Well unfortunately that's exactly what happened in our source world yet we're still heading for a calamity. Even violent revolution in gyr abania and othard counted as acts of light. Protecting good guys and defeating evil guys just generates light in every case. The DRK questline never even mentions that you're using actual 'darkness' in the sense of zodiark-aspected darkness which would balance light, it's all just internal edgy/emo emotions that don't seem to have any affect on the overall balance of the world.

Ok retard

Voidsent in most cases except for the WoD raid where we go to that shard directly are twisted souls bound to (usually) corpses.

The Fat Cat mount for example has flavortext implying it could actually be a voidsent bound to a bloated cat's corpse.

What summons light aether and dark aether? We know what does fire or lightning aether. But if light isn't good and dark isn't evil, what summons them? Is it hope and optimism brings forth light aether and despair and sorrow brings forth dark aether? Hence ascians causing chaos causes dark aether (uncertainty and despair), while if the WoL does everything it makes too much light aether?

I have never played a final fantasy game before playing ffxiv. I played xv and didn't enjoy it, tried vii and it aged like cheese. Also I only got into xiv because my friend got me into it, didn't even realise it was an mmo until we got into it. To be honest, the cringy final fantasy shit in the game was a hard pill to swallow but I don't mind it now, and if I could be bothered I'd try some of the older games because they look kind of cool.

we're headed to a calamity because solus fucked things up super badly on purpose and because we're opposing elidibus who is trying to bring things into balance
we've tipped far to one side already by aiding hydaelyn unquestioningly for so long

Would you shut up about the word murder? You're using that as a buzzword as to indicate that all forms of killings is wrong.

Again, I don't see how that confirms it but whatever, FF8 yay. Let's bring up the robot spider too.

None of that has been relevant since ARR. If it actually meant anything then they would've referenced an impending light calamity in our world after subjugating all the beast tribes, not at the end of SB after we liberated the mhiggers and domans, implying that liberating countries is "too much good".

we don't know the intricate details of how light and darkness work because hydaelyn hasn't told us shit
this mystery is part of what we're investigating in shb and solus seems to know the truth of it all

Attached: 1559141383017.jpg (1080x1080, 116K)

Voidsent can't easily be summoned to other places without suitable hosts. Some of the lesser ones don't have trouble with it, but the bigger you get, the bigger "crack" in reality you need to get them here. They also partially remain behind in the void where they fully retreat too when their corporeal forms are destroyed here. Sin Eaters are likely to have similar properties.

That being said, I have a strange feeling the 5.3 finale is going to be accepting the 1st is beyond saving and the only way to "evacuate" everyone on it will be to rejoin it to the source. It's why Solus is so friendly with us because he knows we're not spiteful enough to condemn the entire world to being expunged just to put off having Zodiark come back. We might be able to evacuate living people via the crystal tower though.

>None of that has been relevant since ARR.

The weird part is how the game is drawing in so many people such as the wowfugees when they hate weeb stuff.

It's just fucking Daoism it isn't complicated.

Every bigger primal fight is because of it, the beast tribes going "oh fuck they killed that one, we need MORE" it's a cycle. The scions are trying to break it, but the lack of trust from both sides keeps it going and we side against the beasts so we keep pushing it further.
