So what jobs are better/more fun with expac and which ones are worse/boring?

fuck off, it's different for everyone

I sure did. Need to find a good Black Mage set to put on him though.

How do you guys have the will to spam dungeons until 80. I'm at 77 and I'm already starting to feel burnt out of dungeon spamming.

>You buy ~390 poetics gear in Rhalgar's reach.
>Good.
>No idea
>Hahahahahahahaha no. Expansion actively makes fun of this.
>What are you looking for? Story? Content?

The writing is really good. But I have to say the voice acting and voice direction is really fucking well done. Bravo

someone want to explain to me how this gremlin isnt getting its ass eaten by the sin eaters but everything else does?

1. Story roulette gives about 3/4ths of a level bar in the mid 70s.
1.5 Story -> Leveling -> Alliance raid roulettes in that order, ignore everything else.
2. Occasional fate.
3. Aether currents & some exploration.

Do msq. Get flying in zones already done and spam the quest there. I got the last two levels today by doing that with some dungeon runs that also always drop a piece of gear for your class so win win in a way.

>What are you looking for? Story? Content?
something to play and have fun with. i had no fun with SB but enjoyed ARR/HW a lot

Arbert and Lyna's breakdown was really well done. Lyna's voice actor was fucking really good. She sounds so familiar.

It's an ascian.

So are there actually any downsides to playing with trusts besides dungeon length? People earlier were saying less exp and loot and then other people were saying that wasn't true. Which is it?

Attached: 1555617845511.jpg (371x353, 13K)

I'm going to be autistic and not finishing MSQ until I finish every role quest so I'm using roulettes to level up my healer. Might change that though.

It's a mid/late 90s jrpg done as an expansion pack with some of the best writing in the genre. A definite improvement over SB.

>how is ninja now
2fast2furious
Having two kassatsus on a 60 second cooldown has done wonders for the job

Is there a way to see the flavor text of an item in Japanese somehow? The Aerith windup toy has "This guy are sick" but obviously that isn't in the Japanese.

Stop anime posting.
Less loot is true because you only get 1 per chest instead of two. Less XP is a lie perpetrated by a nigger.

I've only heard less loot and the AI being absolutely fucking slow because they refuse to AoE half the time. Not sure on the loot bit but I've seen streams of Trust and player runs and can confirm the AI is slower.

pretty sure lynas va is in castlevania

No fucking wonder why. I was scratching my head really wondering on who she was. She did a really good performance here.

anime website

getting less exp is true if you consider it takes twice as long to get it

looks like a show for people that don't understand physics

Can I try a fantasia without using it?

i mean... you could just make a new character to test it

yes. you have the 'use' of a phantasia until you confirm what your character will look like.

>join titania ex as sch

Is AST really that bad, or was this dude nothing but a living furniture?

Attached: don't click me.png (800x900, 646K)

just make a new character

You can't. But it'll keep on asking you to change your character on relogs until you finally do so there's that.

I challenge you, Emet-Selch
holy FUCK the whole last part of story was kino

yeah by making a new character and previewing whatever you want

Yes
It's called making a new character and then backing out once you're done

After long and careful consideration I have come to the conclusion that the German VA is officially the best one nowadays. Alisaie always had a cute voice, infinitely more so than the English one, but most of the new characters are also voiced really well.

Is the only way to get a phantasia by purchasing them?

It's not her.

Sounds really similar though. I guess we'll see in the credits.

DNC buffs when?

Complete ARR's MSQ

little do you know the gremlins control the sin eaters

Attached: 1557251746563.png (265x340, 145K)

AST does no damage. Most of their heals have shit potencies too. Playing cards is really clunky and clips with everything. Sleeve Draw is basically 4 gcds of no attacking.

3.1

So most people should be done with MSQ tomorrow or Tuesday right? I see a lot of people 77+ now.

Retard

I've only run a dungeon where the other DPS was DNC once, so maybe I'm wrong, but the idea I got is that they suck in ST so on the bosses but their AoE on the dungeon packs was decent.

This has the charm of a ten year old korean MMO.

Are DNC or MNK the worst jobs now

Wait until reset. It's in trial roulette so you should have better luck tomorrow.

They could still use a 50 potency increase on their single target proc abilities.

What’s wrong with MNK now?

Can't decide what DPS to play, help me bros

I'm torn between SAM, NIN and MCH. Maining PLD atm but I want to try DPS. Which is the most fun and least shit?

Someone's coming at you with a weapon do you
A) grab your blade, and slice his throat before he can slash at you.
B) disappear and then summon lightning to burn him alive
C) just shoot him nigga

Pick one.

NIN or RDM

Same thing as always. They have no idea what they're doing with it so half of it's new skills are gimmicky jank that have tons of drawbacks for no reason.

Lyna's english dub accent turns me on so much

Attached: 1558449972499.jpg (622x641, 56K)

Her voice is really well done.When she starts breaking down because she couldn't save her men, that was fucking brutal

>Lyna
Who?

>tfw waiting on queue for Well to grind to level 79
this is going to be the worst part of this shit isn't it?

My only con for the story is the Eulmore War feels forced and unnatural. It doesn't bother me too much though.

The bunny commander.

No. Hitting the 80 wall with no rested exp and having to grind 3/4s of your last level is.

Just shoot him NIGGA

>the Eulmore War feels forced and unnatural
Not really. Vauthry has a pretty damn good reason to try and prevent you from killing sin eaters.

Rate your role story line for those who finished it.

Magic DPS 7/10

I guess so. I haven't finished it yet so we'll see but it just feels weird we just got out one war and just run straight into another.

So how are NIN in this expansion?

Healer 7.5/10.

This, need glasses name

Healer is fine. They have a likable npc and the final quest is pretty goofy.

She's already old and busted. She literally doesn't matter after the war with eulmore.

she matters to my dick

This fucking dungeon and everything that happens after. So fucking kino. The whole expansion is pure, unfiltered kino.

Attached: ffxiv_dx11 2019-06-30 22-44-45.png (1920x1080, 3.02M)

Have you guys done your job quest yet? I heard there was 1 (one) at 80 but I got 80 and I can't find shit. Is it locked behind MSQ progression?

so what's with that? is it a alternate dimension or something?

I was honestly shocked at how good that dungeon was

In space over the planet of the First during the calamity that killed off most of the Ascians

Yes. You have to have completed the quest Shadowbringers. It also isn't blue for whatever reason. It just looks like a normal quest on the map.

So many good moments
Anyone made webm with Yshtola and bunny girl reaction on seal?

There is. It starts where you last job quest left off. I picked it up but haven't run it yet.

that isn't the first. It's the original world before the sundering

Yes.

The inn in the Chrysthareum having an open window is the biggest fucking upgrade. Why bother having a house.
The first dungeon that you can fall off the platform on the final boss!

Am I really suppose to take this shit seriously?

Levels are a gameplay metaphor.

Going by how it is now we should expect the next expansion to not only be filler but aslo be meh

here's a better question. Unless if someone wants to punch something really hard, what reason is there to actually play MNK instead of any other class?

You've already had Zenos to clue you in that the entire setting works on shonen logic, you have nobody to blame but yourself

Can't be meh, we're going TO THE MOON.

Are you gay?

I was honestly expecting our cat-exarch to just go and free us from all this extra light, but 1000 Ascians crying out in anguish just shooting him caught me off guard

Y'shtola becoming a sin eater

Did they fix MCH being bullshit that got a completely new rotation at max?

So we can all agree if you're not SCH, AST, or MNK you came out ahead in this expansoon?

So, my question is:

Who shot the Exarch with a sling shot?
And what happens? I was so tempted to

Yeah, drk is fun to play and summoning frey makes pp hard

I did, and he whines.

Remember to commend your DRKs in dungeons for using all their busted limitless high potency aoe!

>new player
>picked mnk
>have no frame of reference so I'm not sure if I enjoy it or not

MNK literally needs DNC to function, that fucking crit buff is too intoxicating for monks

god forbid if it aligned naturally with riddle of fire

I did. Currently at lvl 74 white mage, I sort of want to level Warrior to 80 because it fits better with Hrothgar, but I'm enjoying my instant queues for everything.

Someone doesn't remember Nevereap

well thats fuckin ominous
not like everything else in this expansion hasnt been so far though i guess

Attached: Capture.png (1654x923, 3.32M)

>Nevereap
Those were fuckoff huge arenas though.

How long would it take to get all jobs to 80 if they are already at 70? I only play a few hours daily so roulettes would be the ideal choice.

Too many, especially anything with Ardbert.

Attached: 1530917083399.png (1920x1080, 1.32M)

It's just the machinist glasses you dorks.

So i just finished, literally the best expansion to date.

It dethroned HW

If you do leveling, alliance, and main story you get a bit over a level per day.

WE are in FUCKING SPACE and then challenge a literal god of darkness

fastest way 60-70 besides FATEs and deep dungeon?

Just kill me already.

Roulettes + whatever the most relevant dungeon is for you right now?

So for anime fans?

You aren't cheating on us with some pixie whore right?

Attached: eos and selene.jpg (1024x488, 74K)

How the hell are you idiots running out of rested XP? Are you just grinding overworld mobs or something?

I had ~3 days rested, dinged 80 with a roulette and had some left over.

You are a healer just fucking insta queue your dungeons onions boy

you currently have the shortest queues, the fuck are you complaining about?

Holy fuck when the music kicked in, this expansion is so fuckin good.

I'm not a healer. King Feo Ul is best girl.

Beast tribes are 1.2-2.1 million exp, double that on days you actually level them
Daily hunts are around 1.5m exp but killing level 66+ stuff can be a hassle

>after 10 minutes, all he comes up with is Provoke
And here I thought level boosting was more of a meme. I can't breathe the same virtual air as these mongoloids..

what do hrothgar look like with helmets? do they actually have helmet cosmetics? i listened to all the combat voice lines and they all sound pretty bad so the armor needs to make up for it, does anyone have a picture of hrothgar in DRK armor?

Don't know why I keep doing 50/60/70 roulette, its full of wow refugees, one even refered to themselves as a 'specc' when they said they were new to healing.

hows crafting now?

hrothgar and viera don't have helmets because of their heads/ears being weird

Remember that you can queue for 5 dungeons at once, vault+gubal both still give comparable exp to sirensong

Only the full-face helmets like Odin's one are visible

More of the same but a squeak bit less reliant on cross-class and the meme rotations for infinite crafting got cut.

they don't have because ears and horns

Wait, dancers are bad? What about machinist?

it´s funny because it's literally impossible to lose aggro as tank now

RATE 80 JOB QUESTS:
>WAR Nothing still interesting/10
>SCH No mentions of pixie and more lalashit/10
>SMN Four dollars/10

It doesn't even give good exp

>Wait, dancers are bad?
Haven't heard anything to that effect, mostly I see people complaining they're on the simple end and I still don't think they're really that simple.
>What about machinist?
Machinist gets fun a lot earlier in ShB now and stays fun up to the end.

In terms of numbers I don't know about MCH but its probably the most well done job. Buttons are satisfying regardless of performance which is more important.

It gives more exp than leveling if you roll a 50 as a 60 something and a 61+ dungeon on leveling

>Haven't heard anything to that effect
you missed the 3 threads about that
DNC has the lowest dps bar
not even their buffs can save them

Think I finish msq in around 2 days if won't work overtime
Which ex drops weapons?
How hard are they they compared to Susano?

SMN is in the fucking shed, why did the damage drop so badly?

Yes

Yes.

They wanted AF4 to last a bit longer. Those dungeons only drop accessories.

SMN is fine

Titania is weapons. She isn't hard, just a few tethers to manage and those 8 directional aoes like Mist Dragon has.

They only drop accessories on par with your AF gear.

Your next upgrade is going to be from Goetia tomestones

Titania, honestly pretty easy but people are kind of retarded right now so find a good group and stick to them like glue.

HW was my favorite expansion

So same as normal?
How is dps check, tight or can have even 2 dancers in party?

The dub has some good voices in there but the bad ones are SO fucking bad that it turns me off english audio completely.
It's a real shame because I'm really tempted to just bear with english so the subtitles actually matches what's spoken, and fuck me some performances like Arbert's are really good.

But then Alisaie talks with her middle aged soccermom voice and I'm turned away completely.

just do the dungeon a couple times and quests / fates during queue if you're a DPScuck

better, much much better.
That's not saying HW is bad, it's just that SHB is SO fucking good
>tfw running trials right now again and again because they're so kino

Its better than hw, despite having sb style garbage like alphi VS giant toddler dialogue

Something has been bugging me.

Is Arbert actually supposed to be "Albert" and the localization team just goofed it here? And then they just ran with it? I mean the nips would have no way of knowing they messed it up because that's how they pronounce Albert.

Unironically better, which I know sounds fucking crazy but ShB really nailed it. The 80 dungeon/Trial blew me away with how good they were.

I want to burn through the MSQ of SB because it was a fucking snore fest and ever since my friends told me Shadowbringers feels like HW, I definitely feel like resubbing again. How many raids/dungeons do I have to go through?

Or rather, how long would it take to catch up to speed.

You always will be behind

You can easily finish up SB in a few days of casual play even if you don't skip any scenes. Each patch is about 2 hours if you're only doing MSQ.

Fuck paying 25 dollars for that shit, I would rather suffer and go through where I left everything instead of giving in to SE.

Good. Do I have to finish the god damned alliance raids? Because this content always seems to draw the worst players/takes too long to queue. Now I don't have a problem if it's necessary but whatever, more cosmetic gear I guess.

That's what my friends thought back when I bought ARR and HW three weeks before SB's release and managed to catch up on two weeks and a half by playing nonstop during vacations.

Im too poor.

Play FFXII and XIV 4.4+

I'm still getting used to tanking and gunbreaker, but is there any feasible reason to use superbolide if you aren't about to die or in anticipation of a heavy attack?

They do, they just don't have Ala Mhigan or Lost Allagan weapons. They have ryumyaku and Scaevan weapons.

There's scaevan and omega ones you tard

Redpill me on DRK in this expansion

Nah not really, Superbolide is just to pop if something is about to kill you and give the healers a chance to get you up again. It's kind of a combination of Holmgang and Hallowed Ground.

Original language. Second hand dub almost always find something to fuck up spectacularly enough to undo the efforts of the good ones. Though English text with English voice in XIV is one of the rare times it's justified because the voice actors were forced to read Koji's heavily alternated script anyway.

To force you healer to respect the content instead of cheating with Benediction after spamming holy.

Seto is good boy who did NOTHING wrong. I only wish he and Ardbert got a chance to talk proper.

Pretty similar to how it was before but you don't *PSHEEWWW* spam *PSHEEWWW* Dark Arts *PSHEEWWWW* anymore. Lost some stuff, gained some stuff, became kind of like a dark knight-themed Warrior that can dump its MP. I'd liken it to a mix between Warrior and Paladin in general gameplay.

Dub, the localization work is really good and there's un-subtitled background chatter you'll miss.

How are Warrior and Summoner?

Anyone else have a really hard time seeing the AoEs in Mt. Gulg? The yellow markers on the pure white and yellow backgrounds was really fucked up.

I can't stand how some parts of it resembled Nignogg's theme, but that's samey epic orchestra for you.

All the tanks are really good but Warrior's kinda the most boring of a four-man parade now. Summoner's way more engaging than it was in Stormblood.

Yeah. Just look for the outlines and movement.

So fans of Castlevania then?

Well lads, it's been awesome. I probably won't be able to do it like this next expansion, since I'll probably have kids by then, it's been great NyEETing a whole storyline for three days straight with no distractions.

What a fucking bang to go out on.

The only thing i have not liked about this expansion is my fav class was ruined.

Having Ardbert as your ghost tour guide was the best decision in the entire expansion

It's been 15 years since I played ARR but I don't remember it fistfucking you with bong accents as much

When our AST found out you only get seals in combat, so prepull divination is actually impossible he straight up boosted a WHM to play through the expac instead.

ARR was when the dub was at its bongiest, unfortunately.

Honestly after leveling it to 80 I don't mind the new cards that much. AST just needs Play fixed and their numbers buffed and it should be fine.

And they didn't even eliminate AST needing time between pulls with their changes. They still want 30 seconds for draw to come off cd at the start of a fight.

It's fine as a long as you can actually communicate to your healer "hey stop healing me I'm gonna use superbolide", but with pugs it's actually useless.

You seem to be missing a "d" at the end of your statement, don't worry bro I've got you

How about the job quests, is DRK as good as it was in SB?

FA LA LA LA LA

Ready for a new remix of
youtu.be/PUfkJrt4dLI

Question about a quest near the end of the story
do we seriously need to do the whole role questline to turn in the MSQ quest to Grenholdt? i.e. do a level 80 quest to turn in a 79 quest. It seems so janky.

SAM is Stormblood 2: Storm Harder, which is a good thing because it was already mechanical perfection in SB. The only thing different is Ikishoten doesn't let you eat sens and instead gives you a flat 50 ki so you're back to building up to Midare and being stuck with how many sens you've got.

...

Does anyone have a spreadsheet that calculates Skillspeed?

I think MCH might be incredibly broken, and no one seems to realize it yet.

yes.

Thanks Yoshi

Yes. Also talk to him again after you finish his quest for some goodies.

No job quests, only role quests.

>Me use Hagakure to fix me terrible Sen management skills
>What you mean plan rotation around no hagakure? Me UNGA

Without hagakure, you simply midare over and over unless you need to reapply your DoT. At least sacrificing your sen at the end of your combo broke up the rotation a little.

Obviously, I mean is it MSQ or not

No

you can overwrite your 3 sen following ikishoten for the same sensation :)

Unironically where the fuck will the story even go post MSQ? Jesus christ they blew their load early.

There was no management, unless you were reapplying your DoT, you only used it at three.
Very funny user, but not the same and you know it.

It's not about the skill, it's about breaking the tedium a bit. It wasn't much but it was a bit more complex than what we currently have, I feel. I am also not fond of the new meditation skill, popping it between GCDs when I know it'll be up for downtime and hoping it happens to be on a server tick is not very fun.

Yes.
Reason: because it is.

You get to come off your job quests full of suffering and go into the expansion full of suffering.

Not great not terrible.

Dark Knights are dark, which is the opposite of light. Dark Knights use shadow stuff, which is the opposite of light. That's about it and is all you really need desu.

Just hit this, and so far its hit me harder than most of the rest of the story.

Attached: unknown.png (1920x1080, 2.11M)

>explain your reasoning
I tire of this charade

I feel like Divination feels worst than a expanded balance/spear in terms of satisfaction, defination is on a 3 minute cooldown yet expanded balances/spears could easily be preped back to back. I also don't like how you need to use an extra oGCD to convert AND play a minor arcana, half the time the 2% damage increase doesn't even feel worth it but I'm forced to do it when I have my seals arranged.

Unironically no, you're the "warrior of darkness" only because you drink the light's milkshake

He's a wuxia/cultivation MC, of course he's retardedly strong

Because I'm a fatefag and he's literally CG EMIYA

and as i said, you can still simulate that tedium breaking by refusing the free sen the game kept for you. it would simply be less optimal.
i thought people concluded the gain from shoha did not justify fishing for meditation procs.

is it true you get less exp from trust?

>popping it between GCDs when I know it'll be up for downtime and hoping it happens to be on a server tick is not very fun.
Do you actually gain from this?
I mean with every Meditation usage you can potentially delay your next auto attack.

XIV is hot garbage. Soulless weeb world, soulless weeb ui, soulless weeb classes, soulless weeb endgame content.
Even GW2 is better than that crap.

nope ive tried with and without trusts and the exp is the exact same so im probably just going to use them whenever possible.

Attached: 1555786627439.jpg (400x400, 37K)

I got like 3m ish exp per run of holminster and 4.5 or so in fuath land every time I used trusts
I think the dungeons themselves just have low exp totals in contrast with your exp per level requirements

Try and stuff a few more buzzwords into your post next time user, this isn't peak meme material.

Divination needs to be 2 min instead of 3. That way you actually have to try to build up a full power one instead of having all the time in the world.

I simply preferred hagakure since it was both efficient AND broke the tedium a touch. Even if it's not "worth it", it's still 50 free potency that I can squeeze in when I have the opportunity if I know the fight well enough to know when to save it for longer breaks. No real reason not to.
About a 50/50 for a free oGCD.

That sounds excellent. Someone get this user a designer chair.

Single cards at 7%, minor arcana back to its original functionality and divination at 3(.3)% per seal with a 2 min CD would probably be enough to make AST look viable rather than a contrarian parsefag choice

How come materia 7 seems worse than materia 6?

Because it's literally just tier 5 for higher ilvls

What the fuck? At that point might as well just have single target skills cleave.

You can overmeld 7

7s are specifically for overmelding. In general you'll be using one 8 and one 6

I don’t count scholar it’s for gays

Everyone but SCH, AST, and MNK are pretty much better now.

SCH is actually super close to being perfect. All they need are two changes. The first is a way to burn the third stack of aetherflow. The first two stacks can be spent on excog and sacred soil but if you aren't spending it on those the second you get all three stacks you are going to have one leftover when aetherflow is off cooldown so let us either eat the stack for mp or give us a pure shield to spend it on. The second is letting us build fairy gauge with dissipation because that skill has been garbage for four fucking years and it's still garbage since i'm just using it to refresh aetherflow before a pull ends and then spending none of it while the fairy is gone.

How are the tank classes looking, fellow tankchads? I’ve got all of them at 70 but can’t decide which one to level to 80 first. Which one is the most fun? I finally get to start playing tomorrow.

Any level 70 side quest that offers a hq wep?

PLD, DRK, and GNB are all right.
Dunno about War.

I think it's from the MSQ. You can probably buy one for cheap on the MB.

gnb is very fun
drk is very fun
i've capped both but can't really speak for the other two since i only have them at 70
for what it's worth i have the easiest time on drk in dungeons, healer friend has told me gnb seems substantially harder to heal (lol camo)

Just buy a scaevan one with MSQ roulette tomestones
ShB gives you HQ crafted weapons at every even level

I’ve only leveled warrior but I like the changes, we deal much better dps now. I remember checking after the patch and bring like huh they increased the potency in most of my abilities cool

Just buy a 400 one with poetics. It only costs like 500 or so.

DRK's simple, PLD made out like a bandit this expac, GNB is closer to a DPS than it is a tank. WAR I haven't tried yet, not really interested in it this expac.

>2/3rds of one of the most important roles if not the most important have been nerfed
>lol its no big deal

Camo is good in dungeons compared to what PLD and WAR have.
TBN is just too good.

Eh Camo's pretty decent when used in rotating out tank cooldowns. Depending on severity of incoming damage I'd either ignore it in favor of Nebula/Rampart or stack Aurora on top of it though.

Healing is for gays and women anyways let them have their nerf

Healers have been ridiculously overpowered for years, eat shit.

Late as fuck to this but if given a choice which would be more fun to go through the new expansion, SMN or BRD? Planning to level GUB alongside as well

Do bard first. Summoner can level as scholar and you never want to do a healer or tank through the story since they can level faster through dungeons.

glad they got Alexander faggotry out of the way, that means there's a good chance we get Ultimate Thordan and Ultimate Nidhogg

BROODING
ARDBERT

Well, tank used to be able to level faster in dungeons :^)

The ironworks Alex fight is pretty good.

What was the deal with this boss, exactly, lorefags?

Honestly I think he's just pretending to be retarded at this point.

I stand by it. Healers have been poorly designed for a long time. I understand the whole Healer DPS thing, but they've swung the pendulum too far in that direction, to the point that using a GCD on healing was frowned upon and considered a waste. I mean they've went about it in the wrong way but I respect the effort to direct healers back towards healing just a bit.

Don't skip the cutscenes. It was obvious what it was just from the MSQ alone.

By and large yes. If you start skipping cutscenes, start paying attention again around the time Shiva/Lady Iceheart is mentioned.

yes, the patch story quests from ARR is widely considered the worst part and many (myself included) hope they rework/get rid of most of it

The only good level 50 content is Coil and everything after/including Silvertear Lake
Crystal Tower is probably the only really decent AR and it's still just OK, don't let Matsuno writing RtI fool you

You can do it at 79. You just need another job at 80 to do the role quest with.

Ravana/Bismarck are dually aspected iirc (given the kinds of crystals you dig up doing beast tribe quests) but were Tsukuyomi/Susanoo/Lakshmi supposed to be as well? Or are they just Dark/water (again)/Light?
