Why is every job getting gutted in FF XIV Shadowbringers to cater to the WoW refugees coming in?

>sharp cast on a shorter cd
Which allows us to get even more annoyed when the tank doesn't do a proper pull count. I can't wait.

It's because they finally pulled the plug on the abortion that was XV and can now afford to divert funds to marketing XIV better.

They're not being gutted and FFXIV devs barely acknowledges the existence of WoW like they do with say Cyberpunk2077. They only try to specifically cater to Japanese audiences and almost nobody in Japan plays WoW so they don't cater to them.

It’s the other way around. WoW is shit right now so they’re going all in to profit from it.

>eureka
Ahahahaha. Just get a zeta weapon bro.

Lorelet here, haven't even started SB yet but I have a question. I remember reading here that there are no chocobos on the first, is that true? Or did I read/remember wrong? Cause I was watching the ShB trailer again and during the CT part, a little before the Viera dancer, I noticed some chocobos under some tents.

No, they are just making a lot more money recently. They cut the XV updates and XIV is bringing in more money than ever.

Limsa has some nice characters in it like the rogue's guild and ones I want to fuck like that pale catslut H'naanza.
Ala Mhigo has nobody left.

There are chocobos but they're not used as much. The main mount animal on the First are amaros.

mch weapon is good though

There are no chocobos on the first, correct. They ride these weird flying ugly birds instead.

Now if only they could add more full-time staff to Yoshi's skeleton crew but no one in Nipland wants to work in an MMO.

I don't really think it has to do much with Wowfugees. The average playerbase for this game has never been great, and has only been in decline since launch. Overall, VERY few players can clear stuff like Ultimates for a multitude of reasons like "Not enough time to dedicate", but the biggest reason is people are just shitters. The devs know this and raids have gotten easier. Neo-Exdeath was as hard as a raid boss will ever be ever again, and even that was easier than Twintania pre-nerf or OG Bahamut.

Maybe they should do a public beta test instead of relying only on internal QA.

Does SE ever do sales for the Mogstation, and no I don't mean the jump potions, because paying $30 for a mount is retarded.

I wonder what they can release around late august to keep players busy?new game+ wont be around til 5.1 Hopefully that wont take nearly 4-5 months like what happened in HW

Ah ok, thought I was crazy, thanks for the clarification.

SquareEnix changed it's management in 2015. Since then, there's been improvements across the board. Increased advertising for Dragon Quest, revival of old IPs like Mana, almost all games getting localized to the west, etc. It's just taken this long to start feeling the effects because changes made in 2015-2016 won't be seen until the games (or expansions or marketing) planned back then won't go into effect until years later. Well, we're in that years later period right now. And FFXIV is also getting the benefit of better management and higher production budgets.

In short, fuck Wada.

>People datamine the beta and spoil everything
Way to go, cunt

It is literally the most popular MMO on the market at the moment. Someone on a dead server posting a status after peak hours doesn't change that.

Everything is different.
Elvaan/Elezen -> Elves
Sylphs -> Fairies
Tarutaru/Lalafel ->dwarves
Viera -> Vis
Hrothgar -> Ronso
Hyur -> Humes
Mithra/Miquote -> Mystel

Chocobo are replaced by those weird bird things.

>Just saw the "updates" to DRK
Literally who asked for this? I get gutting Dark Art spam, but removing the DPS aspect of DRK and same swapping when off-tanking might as well be a spit in the game to everyone who actually found what little joy the job offered. And who the fuck wanted DRK to be a cooldown based pet class at max level?

I can help you out, bro. Meet me at Halatali in one hour.

Fuck you. I hated the fact that WoW had PTR dataminers ruining surprises for fucking everyone. Piss off.

People datamine and spoil already.

I mailed sch since 2.0 and I'm switching to nin because sch got nothing fun. I'll still level sch second in case I need an instant queue for roulettes but I'll mostly be using it to queue for dungeons and then immediately leaving when I have nothing to do so the 30 minute timer doesn't matter

Sure they do, now the new healer can have exactly the same kit.

>SCH loses a couple toys
>WAAAAAH EVERYONE'S GETTING GUTTED
Time for you to grow up and play your role properly like the other healing jobs do. You're not DPS. If you want to DPS, pick a DPS job.

>It is literally the most popular MMO on the market at the moment.
It's doing the best it has since 2.0, but that's still 5-7x less than WoW.

Please watch movie.

Thank you for understanding.

Know what white mage really could use?
A skill that procs a 200 potency heal on every single medica and cure III that they cast for 10 seconds on a 60s cooldown.

Because this game really needs 3000 heal potency in a 10 second span.

The current plenary is fine, what the fuck is this shit?

>pet class
It isn't. Fray ignores you completely and is just a glorified DoT.

Also if you want to play a DPS-like tank, play GNB. They clearly want DRK to be the entry level "baby's first tank".

Only healers are, and barely. Tanks are getting amazing changes, DPS are all fine.

And with a public beta they can do it weeks in advance

user last census had WoW at 1.5m active subs and hemorrhaging at an alarming rate. This game just broke 1m active. You should go check your numbers before you state them as factual.

Yeah right before the launch instead of months in advance. I don't want to have to cut all contact with the internet and stay out of XIV for months just so I don't get spoiled. You ptr fags should go and jerk each other off in a secluded room.

Baffles me that they didn't retool it into some sort of AoE shield/mitigation. WHM still has jack shit besides 10% mitigation that's tied into their Largesse replacement on a 2 minute cooldown.

Which census was that?

Alright jeez, I'm just trying to think of a solution to what OP is complaining about.

Coming in 5.1, replay the story as you are without disrupting your current progress. Nothing scales up or anything, you literally just redo all the quests and dungeons as they were before. It's just for people (like me) who want to relive the story. It isn't a challenge or anything.

Explain this shit

it USED to be the veteran tank

We have better parses.

Japanese have much higher clear rates so no. Americans just log on to ERP and pay Square Enix a monthly rent fee.

I haven't been paying attention beyond the initial particles showoff which looked great minus removing Dark Arts. What are they doing to DRK?

For some reason I thought there were no chocobos at all, and got scared that the CT was actually the one on the Source, just much further in the future or something (dunno if that even makes sense, unless they add time travel too).

More procs, not based on crit anymore, less party support but stronger personal output. It'll get replaced by DNC.

I picked up DRK in 3.0 and have mained it ever since, only now am I finally sick of SEs shit enough to drop it. It's over bro, we lost. I am gonna trade my Greatsword in for a Gunblade and pull my devil trigger all God damn day. At least I can have fun again and not feel like killing myself every time I queue up.

>the era of Protect is finally over
I wonder how many protect requests, and tanks standing around doing nothing waiting for the buff I'll get

They clearly want plenary to be a skill that rewards gcd use, but a +200 heal proc that you can't control is pretty shit.

Pretty sure this will be one of the skills that people will ask to be changed once we can play the jobs. It barely has any use other than a boost to medica II initial potency.

no it really didn't lmao, DRK's been in the shed since release

Shut up retard. DRK was THE MT in HW. PLD was in the shed all the way to 4.0.

Say that on week 1 raiding when you wipe at 3% with everyone doing as much dps as they can except healers.

Ads are much better now than they were back when HW and SB released. No more cinnabons and arby's or even wrestlemania.

Nice strawman, but no. Healers dealing DPS is fine, and encouraged, but SCH was an inconvenient outlier that upset the game balance. It doesn't need a full DPS kit. It's a healer. If you want to focus on damage, play a dedicated damage dealer.

How long will it take me to reach current content.
I just defeated Ramuh in the story.
Also I'm playing a Samurai, but kinda want to go back to dragoon, but Samurai is so much stronger.

Which is pretty counter productive since the tools that actually do reward GCD use (or at least, mitigate the drawbacks) are all tied into the Afflatus abilities.

people like bluefever already leak things anyways

A misconception is that server status is directly related to a universal population threshold applied to each server individually. The only use it has is to signal where they want people to play. It says nothing about the server capacity or current population, or anything like that.

Removing literally every single fun aspect of the class in exchange for a shadow clone that you can't even control that does a fixed rotation. But at least you don't have to click Dark Arts before every combo finisher, amiright?

>Play a tank for chads
I am though user, I am going to main GNB. The chaddest tank of all.

We are time traveling to some extent at least because the warriors of darkness who we met in Heavensward left the first over 100 years ago, when Minfilia as the word of the mother took them back to the first and stopped the flood of light that was 100 years ago.

You're almost at Heavensward and then you have two full expansions which are each the length of a standalone RPG

After Shadowbringers hits

Who knows but Eorzea is standard fare Final Fantasy so it has chocobos and everything you would expect.

Yes but very rarely, usually around December but they do them other times too

Fellow black mages, I am in need of glamour ideas for 5.0 since I am switching off of rdm and going for Chad mage. I am working on the anima wep at the moment

>but kinda want to go back to dragoon
You should play Dragoon for the Heavensward story, it's kino

I want the long skirt for female too bros..

If Yoshi wants healers to focus more on healing maybe the encounters shouldn't give you enough room to DPS 90-95% of the time in even the most healing intensive content in the game.

But really, all SCH needs back is Energy Drain and Quickened Aetherflow. I don't even care if the potency is nerfed into the ground.

drk was good in hw though so you're wrong

It's taking me every ounce of will power to not skip the fishing quest cutscenes in the 60-70 storyline. What a BORE. The only person saving it is the hitlady.

If you don't sleep and you skip every cutscene and you have tank queues, you might get to Shadowbringers before launch.

Don't do that, though. Take your time. Enjoy the story. Even if you want to raid, savage won't come out until a month after ShB officially launches, so early August. So you have quite a bit of time to level up, get through the story, then gear your job before savage hits.

The pvp weapons are all pretty good.

meh, I want to be a swamp witch, not some sharlayan fag, that's for ast

>Is it just 1-2-3 city without any mana management and blood weapon being boring instead of "go ham"
Yes. Souleater is your only combo and Blood Weapon no longer grants Haste or massive MP returns when used with Quietus (triggers only once). Abyssal Drain now has a CD and is a flat 200 potency heal.

Also the new Fray summon is just a glorified DoT, and Delirium is now a watered down Internal Release that let's you spam Bloodspiller without cost for a few seconds.

Enjoy your Diet WAR.

Overall Score: 4/10

What's worse about the skill is the duration and cooldown.

I'd rather it have like 20s cooldown and let us boost just our next gcd heal with a 200 proc, 10s of heal procs is just unrealistic, there's nothing in this game that will make full use of it unless there's a akhmorn type attack every 60s.

Maybe if you can top the meters in the group, then the DNC will deign to dance for you. Good luck with that.

WAR is still mostly the same as it was before. Gets a few neat little extras like Nascent Flash, nothing too flashy in its new moves which are recycled animations that look better than FC and Decimate anyway. Inner Beast has that "omph" that Fell Cleave simply lacks. Vengeance still has the reflect and Holmgang exists.
Same unga bunga job it has always been and always will be.

Isn't BRD's procs no longer relying on crit a good thing too? Keeps it consistent between raid tiers.

It doesn't matter. It literally cannot matter. DNC is WAY too overpowered. Meta shit be damned, it will be mandatory in EVERY static. BRD and MCH are stuck in the shed no matter what because there is no fucking way in hell they are going to come close to shit like BLM and SMN in damage enough to get their slot.

Even me who started last month barely finished HW and I've been slogging through STB just to reach endgame with everyone else but the story is so damn boring I end up skipping cutscenes.

They should just make it like WoW and other MMOS which allow you to skip to the endgame immediately

Hrothgar are probably bigger.

DNC's DPS is increased by the faster their partners spells/weaponskills are. It makes sense to tether to the NIN even if they might not benefit the most from the buffs.

Dumb WoWfag. SE literally just announced breaking 1m on the lodestone recently. Why are you posting in a thread for a game you don't even fucking play? Go back to your dying game.

no they just desperately need attention and validation in some way since the girls are bigger than the "men"

That's terrible. I honestly loved mana management with dark arts, and blood weapon being infinite mana for infinite dark artsing and blackest nighting for infinite quietusing for even more infinite mana. People that bitched about dark arts are fucked in the head. That shit was fun and active.
Removing the haste from blood weapon is triple stupid though. I wish it wasn't too late to cancel my preorder.

Wrong. Yoshida&Co has acknowlowledged wow and took inspiration from it with 2.0 (at that point wow wasn't as shit as now) Blizzard acts like a dick and pretends to acknowledge no other mmo and acts like the big dog no matter what.. but have a lot of people playing ffxiv, at some point gw2 and other mmos and they draw a lot of inspiration from other mmos to try and stay on top (when they were) and now to regain their spot. It goes both ways no matter what a wowbabby claim or by all means (You) the only difference is that Blizzard is a dick about it while Yoshida and Square are nicer about it.

I just can’t seem to bring myself to play this anymore. I’m halfway through stormblood and I feel like there is nothing more to get out of it. Just grinding for cosmetics so I can pretend I’m unique or something. I should go work on my drawing instead of doin dailies bullshit.

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO KILL MY JOB

I preferred when DA was ued less like in HW

PLD/GNB
WAR
AST
WHM
DNC
NIN
DRG
BLM/RDM (prog)

The extra gauge DNC gets from having a faster partner is a less than 0.5% DPS increase for the DNC's already low pDPS. It's a very small side benefit.

On the other hand, the DNC partner gets a permanent +5% DPS buff. Giving that DPS buff to a job like BLM or SAM that will in all likelihood do 25% more DPS than a NIN will completely obliterate the extra pDPS the DNC gets from partnering with a NIN.

DNC is going to just slap their partner onto whoever is topping meters. No ifs ands or buts about it.

That is an ugly as fuck image. That artist should be shot.

>I'm playing a game
>but it's so boring

Maybe you're just a gaming addict. It's not like there is a point where "it starts to get fun" because you're supposed to have fun during all of it. Imagine a future with a 7th expansion, then Shadowbringers is the one you're skipping because it's not fun, right? But now you want to rush to something which you will call unfun?

Personally I would quit rather than play games I don't enjoy just to be part of a hype train.

because they must kill the job for people that don't like it every expansion, it's now nu war

It already has so you're wrong but

yeah, drk was the most fun dungeon tank because of that shit

now it's just a worthless less fun WAR

Oh no no how do we stop him

Replying to myself since I forgot to say... even if Square and Yoshida are more open about the rivalry, competition and acknowledgement they'll still take advantage of any backfirings on Blizzard's end just like Blizzard would do to them or other mmos over the years (and still try with 8.2) A rival is a rival whether you're a dick about it or show sportsmanship.

No they didn't. Pure delusional fantasy, FFXIV is based on FFXI which is based on a fusion of FF series and EQ. WoW is based on EQ and a fusion of Warcraft series.

Japanese companies focus on the domestic market. They're not opposed to foreigners but they never focus on them in the way western devs do. They're also not trying to create a WoW Killer because WoW is barely even alive in Japan.

It's serious delusion to think that a Japanese company like Square Enix cares about WoW or western players in the way that western players wish they did.

Because they took away what made it unique and just made it a fucking watered down WAR. DRK has NOTHING left and is by far the most braindead tank to play.

So the reason this game doesn't have any buffs that feel good is just because people funneled them to whoever had the highest dps?
Nice yet something else casuals ruin.

they removed role action limits a while ago so they figured there is no reason to have it if all healers get it anyway, but now there is less of a penalty for dying since healers no longer need to waste an extra gcd to recast after rez

Never played an MMO before but I recently saw the spiderman ad and shadowbringers sounds kinda cool.

I'm wondering how this works, is all the dlc availlable from the beginning so I can skip the old content which nobody is playing from what I've been researching. Or do I HAVE to play the old stuff to reach this cool new dlc? Keep in mind Ive never played an mmo and twitch just has so many streamers doing different things like picking rocks and stuff. Closest "mmo" experionece I ever had was destiny with raids and stuff but they allow you to skip to the latest dlc. Just wondering if this is the same way.

God this sucks. World firsts are literally going to be done in hours.

how old are you, serious question

Free trial up to level 35. You can BUY items that let you skip content.

SMN has a much higher opportunity cost on moving in ShB, assuming the e3 build isn't bugged and pet autos not having a chance to trigger R4 is intended.

Right now, if SMN wants to move it uses R2 and does 20 less potency than pressing R3. And SMN uses R2 a lot anyways in order to get weave windows. Very little is lost by using R2 now.

In ShB, R3 does 80 potency more than R2. So using R2 for movement is now a lot more expensive. On top of that, R4 procs (as of e3) only ever occur when you use Egi Assault, where before they were random off of pet autos (and slightly more common). R4 is an instant cast spell so it's extra movement, but now you can't hold them ever because you need so many weave windows and you need a fucking weave window to use Egi Assault to get R4 to get a weave window...

Egi Assault was a mistake. Especially if the e3 build wasn't a bug.

Plenty of areas you make use of it in raid. Too bad they removed the mitigation on it in ShB.

serious?

The only thing wrong with Dark Arts is it contributed to you doing about as much or less DPS than WAR and PLD despite pressing more buttons, and was just a flat potency increase instead of affixing anything interesting to your abilities.

It'll need to be buff again, trust me - AST and DRK faced the same problems, AST more when it first came out. Only RDM came out pretty much at where it was needed at, and didn't ever really get any changes.

Treat every expansion as a full fledged RPG that you have to complete in order.

Friday 12AM, so basically Thursday night.

I was just curious user.

Anyways, there's a free trial. Try it out and judge for yourself.

Nah man, hear me out. There's not actually anything wrong with the game being streamlined and easy. The story is as good as its ever been, as is the music, and it's not like WoW where they're visibly out of ideas and ruining everything just for the sake of it. MMOs aren't really an inherently "hard" genre since reflex has to be taken as much out of the equation as possible unless you want to alienate high-ping players entirely; you can't have a lot of shit that actually makes for interesting challenge since trying again is often tedious and assembling groups for high level play is difficult; this is incidentally why 24-mans are ezmode. XIV is in a comfy spot of having something for just about everyone.

If shit goes off the rails during the patches you'll have a point but as it stands the game looks to be the best it's ever been.

Nah, the problem with DA was it mandating double weaves to use it on C&S, DP and Plunge (lol). And this is on a job with a SkS buff (BW), so unless your ping is godlike you'll clip if you double weave your DA+C&S during BW.

That was a legit problem with SB DRK.

>Shadowbingers
hehe

Dumb WoWfugee. Only LEVELING dungeons Heavensward and up give guaranteed loot for your job.

Seriously, why aren't there any thighboots as good as adept?

What do they decide to prune and what to leave out? Its slow and the only threads people are participating in are ones criticising the job changes in ShB.

of course

I too like watching netflix, eating or masturbating while playing.

It probably won't be, honestly. Unless DRG does more pDPS than BRD, BRD will be taken over DRG as Battle Voice is better than Battle Litany now.

But, we don't know what pDPS jobs do yet. So DRG may yet live, if it does like current SMN levels of DPS.

BL and Tether. Stack them with a DNC's Saber Dance and AST cards on a BLM or something and watch him ascend to godhood.

It's a story-driven JRPG first and an MMO second. New players are expected to either pay a shitload of cash to skip to Level Cap minus 10, or play through the entire story, with the vast majority doing the latter by design. Said story is a HUGE reason for the game's enduring popularity because it's actually pretty good. Skipping it is possible, but the endgame is relatively sparse, especially if you have no investment in the world or characters.

>Pay for something
>Don't experience it in its entirety
I don't particularly care, you're only hurting yourself. People complain because people who skip then complain that they have to skip even more story, that they don't understand what's going on, or they don't like any of the characters.
Just keep your fucking mouth shut concerning the story if you're skipping it and nobody will care.

Hey dragoon I would really appreciate it if you could stop attacking the boss and come give me dragon sight. I play optimally so I make sure to stand at the maximum possible distance. The healer already knows that I am literally the most important member of the team so he stops dpsing so he can heal me because i'm out of aoe heal range. Also paladin dont forget to use cover on me so I don't get one shot by this mechanic that I refuse to move out of because it's not optimal.

It's less that you're skipping the story and more your boosting to a point of the game where somebody who actually leveled there might make things go easier than having to carry somebody new to the game trying to understand their buttons, how to work with the team AND how to fight the boss.

What Im saying is if you are going to boost to the end at least just do it with your friends as to not slow a party of randoms down because you have zero patience.

I think what I fucking hate about tanks is how mind numbingly static and basic their rotations feel. I actually like the way DRK kind of masked that and broke that up through BW mana generation, TBN pops and arbitrary dark arts mana burn. That made it feel more rewarding than a gay instant gratification button like inner release. ...and now the job is fucking dead.

Here's a better question. If they were so easy and irrelevant, why did you need them in the first place?

they're just giving the people what they want. a simple threat toggle. now you can do full dps without losing threat!

Considering how many people fuck it up, it might be easier to play with shitty tanks but it drags everyone down a notch.

Should only need to max out yellow gathering scripts right? Red will be useless with white coming out?

You didn't stance dance, you went from once stance to the other and then never swapped to tank stance ever again until the fight was over.

It was a complete waste of everyone's time because the optimal way to play is to basically ignore the entire system.

Mooncats: Females get named with personal name and family name of mother. No hard communities, semi-nomadic. Males are named "mother's first name + number in mooncat language" depending on the order of sons born. Guys especially just wander the land like wild tomcats, fucking any female mooncats they come across who are looking to get knocked up and don't stick around afterwards. Tend to be more oriented to magic practices.

you get a weird buff state at 60 and a pet dragon at 70 and you're going to get a pet bird at 80 but it's mostly still ruinmage

from a design perspective, it's a good change because fights can be based around tanks always having their tank stance on at all times, so things can hit a little harder.

Speaking of behavioral phenomena arising from lack of intelligence, meet Mount Stupid. You're on it.

It's pretty boring and it's mostly just autists that find it enjoyable, but it's free from levelling SCH, so that's nice.

Hey, I main BLM and our class is so rock solid that they basically only tweaked it.
When you think about it BLM is pretty much the only job that straight up got more buttons, and two of them are just single target versions of flare and foul.

Casters dps did lose a lot of cross role skills, but I doubt most people ever used more than maybe four of them and by proxy use item slots on them. (what a coincidence)

It's good to be a BLM.

I just thought it was pointless and it took up hotbar space. Why couldn't sword oath just be on all the time until you change to shield?

Dilate

are you actually retarded
DRK was the meta tank for literally all of HW and had the most complicated gameplay among the tanks by leagues for the same duration of time

t. stormblood baby

>There is no point to playing the game past the story if it's not complex, moron. It should be made more complex with each expansion, not less.

a story is not inherently improved by making it more complex, but your point is retarded anyways because each expansion does make it more complex with its worldbuilding.

Threat management isn't hard, just another thing that you have to pay attention to in a fight.
DRK is a real tragedy though. All they had to do was free up some space by removing DA, but instead they removed almost everything neat about the kit. Now we get to shoot shadow beams instead.

>stop DPSing and start tanking, retards!
>make tanks into melee DPS with no positionals
Yoshida P: Still not a genius

No he said he wanted Tank dps to depend on individual player skill and execution as opposed to which fucker had to maintank. Unfortunately he did this and then made playing all of the tanks so braindead that there's no difference between a good tank and a shit one anymore in terms of damage output.

BLM or RDM

Haha, nice bait user. Very funny.

drg seems like it's gonna be pretty chill since apparently everything lines up nicely now
plus it has combos for everything, like it has a 3part aoe combo because why not

Yet people defend his dumb fucking decisions all the time

Case in point: BLU, The new "Role Quests", the Homoginzation of healers/Tanks in Shb

*futa Au ra cocks.

so is this game worth getting into? I have a few 70s

>Finally beat UCOB
I did it bros. Now I can play 5.0 without regrets

What the fuck? So only new players can play on crystal if they want to play on NA servers? How the fuck will people on the other data centers play with their bros.

Patch notes are released once the game goes down. So we should be getting them thursday morning.

I like this better than the current Plenary, but its still a bit underwhelming.

I should, I don't have the tournament minions. Kind of neat the UI changes.

cope

Or unless they come from a tribe that believes in reincarnation

you can answer that question for yourself then because every expansion is more of the same

90% of job quests were a fucking slog and if they're going to make shit ones the new system is far better. Only one job quest that you'll have to suffer through, and a role quest which I hope to god is actually a glorified tutorial that forces you to get better at your role.

Learn to read and comprehend.

I wanted her to be an ara ara fire woman, but we got this gross shit

Fucking hell do we really not know yet what's the new primal mount?

Now we can finally move onto the FF XVI expansion.

Is that really all it is? I had been wondering since NG+ was announced what kind of incentive there would be for doing it. Is it really just to "relive the story"? I mean yeah I like the story too when they aren't throwing boring filler at you that is, but we can still rewatch all the cutscenes at the inn. Who the fuck actually want to play through all those fucking story quests again?

Isn't it frogs or some shit? They showing all the pepes lately.

>and a role quest which I hope to god is actually a glorified tutorial
Fuck off. Actually fuck off. The game should not have anymore god damn tutorials and handholding quests at 70-80. Jesus fuck.
I'm sick of the game assuming my brain has long since dripped out of my fucking ears.

>BLU will never be fixed
>Ishgard getting fixed is being moved back to 5.2

Welp. Guess I'm just gonna do the MSQ in 5.0 before I unsub
