FINAL FANTASY XIV: SHADOWBRINGERS

Still working through stormblood. Japanese MMOs always gotta cram their culture into the game somehow, don't they?

Just as Ryne had the right to live, so do we
His time had come and gone

Well, after cramming everyone else's cultures into the game, Kugane was inevitable.

Is the story good? I´ve spent my time leveling gunbreaker so far.
Even more important, are the new armors good?

shitters are conditioned to guide ride everything.
WoWfugees made it even worse.

Are the side quests actually good?

I can't find the full trailer theme song anymore. It was on YouTube but they took it down, someones gotta have it T_T

Did DRK get any extra dialogue through the MSQ?

Yes, unironically
There's a chain in il mheg involving beavers that'll make you go "what the fuck" by the end

My negro. Admit that early forest and mining trolley were incredibly weak!

>Is the story good
yes now get the fuck out before you get spoiled there's already some in this thread.

I nearly teared up multiple times. There are a few drags but the contrasting highs are incredible. Its the best ff story so far.

They weren't that bad, never did I feel "ugh get it over with"

What is this trying to convey?

Think of it this way, now you can tell which parties are garbage and should be avoided at a glance

>can easily do savage with group while they fuck around, talk about all sort of shit and make jokes in voice chat
>hurr durr why doesn't the game have a built in 30 second window between each action so my retard ass can slowly pluck out messages instead
jesus christ so this is the absolute state of 1.0sperms

How can she be so cute and lewd at the same time?

I felt nothing.
They're dead. They've been dead for thousands of years. Get over it.

What was wrong with mining land? I thought it was pretty good.

You're not wrong but god damn even those were enjoyable to some extent.

you HAVE already farmed both ex primals, right Yea Forums?

The sylphs were fine.
The Nu Mou were agonizing because I felt the game straining to force me to not progress.

I fucking HOPE Elidibus can be just as good or better written than Emet fucking please Ishikawa

Being Ardbert is suffering

They already did since saturday, all they do is sit around begging people for bonus or afk most the day

MMOs have stories?

It's a better story than this, don't lie to user. If you want overrated video game stories, look at Xenogears/saga.
I'd also recommend 999.

We go from a large scale battle to some dumb story involving grief. I get that it serves as a char development for creed but the place was uninteresting and the mundane quests took their toll. Also getting the signed rock was retarded. The grave scene and char dev were good. This whole expansion made me love the scions all the more. Reminder to pet minifillia whenever possible.

going for my third trial roulette with bonus today, I have no idea of what the story is about and I don't give a fuck

Elidibus is secretly undermining his colleagues because he was Ultima's buff, hence white robes.

Reminder not to bother with this shit.

But muh people

Dont worry about it. It's a game that blossoms as it goes on. Problem is that it evolves in increments involving expansions. It is literally the "gets good 500hrs in" meme

>I have to watch a 5 minute long video
Oh you poor, precious little flower. What hardship you must endure! A video makes learning hell of a lot faster because you can see the mechanic in action and how to tackle it rather than rely on a poor text description or some guy with a shit mic mumbling it out.

But nah wiping several times because you don't know what to do if targeted with a mechanic is what real pro gamers do.

HW was a 5/10 at best
SB was a solid 7/10
ShB is a 7.3/10

Stormblood isnt THAT bad, its just ok. compared to heavensward its not good; but there are some parts in stormblood that are really important to know

The whole ending sequence with the light pillars and Hades reveal was godlike

You're not hardcore unless you talk to every NPC after every main story quest to see what else they have to say.

finished the story but im already bored. its the same lame dungeon grind for tomes again followed by 2-3 raids and thats gonna be it
nothing else changed

I do about to make some anyways

You have 2 options
- Enjoy the story and go slow, this option requires you to actually like the world and it's lore, problem is, it starts really slow and boring.
- Buy a skip potion or/and skip cutscenes and reach endgame as soon as possible. This is also valid as there are tons of people who don't care about the story and just like the gameplay and raids.

Either option is fine, since an expansion just dropped, endgame is still forming and you will have some time to catch up, they put patches every 3-4 months with new stuff.

considering they'll struggle to kill basic things again like a boar next expansion or some shit really not all that strong

0% given we didn't get a real powerup this expansion and in fact relinquished power.

Yes

If you pick the option to ask as soon as you meet him why does he lie?

They're in public.

>trash mobs are getting close to ARR primal tier hp
its pretty funny honestly

well we're 8/14th's of a person so

The only catch is that they actually care about more than endgame raiding. The story is good, don't fucking skip it after lv40. Take your time and enjoy the ride. Ignore that other nigga and don't buy the skip potions until you've done shit legit on at least one class.
Also, literally -everything- is unlocked by doing the Main Story questline. Don't let that shit fall behind your level.

damn i was not expecting them to pour so much resources into the last area. Thought it'll just be a painted on background or something but they went ham on that and the dungeon.

>Echo
>Blessing of Light
>Absorbed one of hraesvalgr's eyes
>7/13th Ascian, 8/13th when merged with Ardbert

we'll be immortal creation gods before 14's last expansion

I thought they were going to be cheeky with time shenanigans and say he was G'raha's ancestor.

THE FOUNDING WARRIOR WAS AN ASCIAN AND HE CREATED HYDAELYN SOLELY FOR SOWING THE SEEDS OF BALANCE

Wall to wall mob pulls in the 79 dungeon are thrilling.

Yeah but like... why would anyone else even know who the fuck he was by name?

It's very much "love it or hate it".
If you can get invested in the world, make the effort to enjoy the journey and can somehow brave the 200 filler quests in the first quarter of the game you'll love it.
If you want to blow through all the fun stuff to get to the awful endgame treadmill in the expectation that you can only have fun at the level cap, you'll hate it.

Also what the actual fuck is wrong with the captcha at the moment.

You might have missed the part were its only been out for 3 fucking days dumbass.

when did we absorb the other 6 parts?

Wait till you get to the level 80 dungeons

>7/13th ascian
Since when?

So which dps didnt get neutered into tediousness? MCH bandwagoners are popping out in the droves since it just shits out damage but requires you to john fucking madden all fights more than usual.

>Echo
Less a buff and more of a weird tool for nodeath/talking/skill learning.
>Blessing of Light
This is actual plot armor, you're right.
>Absorbed one of hraesvalgr's eyes
Used right afterwards, same as lightwarden aether, only short term.

And the last thing doesn't give you power. They're just dudes with the Echo.

Eulmore, as we suspected

>gnb is made of cotton swabs
boy is this ever the fucking truth

I was grinding DNC before starting the main campaign.

In fact, I'm still doing that. No spoilers pls kthxbye

Rdm is still a brainlet job

When the 7 other shards merged back into the source. Emet-Selch heavily hints at it during his optional dialogue.

Of course WoL is getting more powerful - his level is going up.

He doesn't want ascians listening to shit.

well it's kinda true i guess, he is g'raha just not yours, but from another timeline. The one in the source is still snoozing with no idea

Elaborate.

>So if we kill all three...

Weird grandpa.

Made no sense

But we already beated it

I would argue, playing them from lvl 1 onward makes sure you know what you are doing and for what which skill is for. And compared to before, now classes are actually playable and functional once you reach 30ish. after that it slowly adds new and more stuff.

>all my other subscribed shit charged my ass at once so i have no money until next week
JUST

What Zenos should've been, but also deserved a real fight

I wish he had a more important fight

But I like the old man.

anyone find it kinda funny that WoW as usual tried to snipe a competitor with their 8.2 azshara patch, only to have shb coincidentally have an underwater zone too that blows them out of the water in setting and production value.

I really wasn't expecting something so disturbing

Reminds me of the solo instance with cool wolf dude in Stormblood.

Should have been a previous WoL, a Monk perhaps because him beating the current WoL/D is far out of play. I know the Blessing of Light ignites her champion depending on the threat but after fighting a robot that constructed his own universe, is god of said universe. Beating time itself and fucking over the father of all dragons, after getting my ass kicked by an old man made zero sense.

actually, everything bad in this one

So whats that about him and us being part of the same Ascian? Why was Emet so upset because we didn't remember?

Your character draws parallels to Zodiark himself. Everytime a shard is destroyed, he becomes less shackled and you become more complete.

Calling it now, Zenos is going to become Zodiark and you're going to become Hydalyn and then there'll be a retelling of the fight on the murals a millennia ago.

a tranny would sound like this
youtube.com/watch?v=jOkdR7on6Ok

I wish they'd have indicators when NPC's have new stuff to say. It got annoying as hell having to talk to absolutely everybody after each quest

yes, which means all others with the echo are also fragmented ascians

Attached: Capture.png (667x361, 143K)

You forgot the worst part
>Force to run away from him for nearly the rest of the game
If they wanted him to be an imposing villain they should have just had him in scenes where the WoL was absent or otherwise occupied.

>want to buy it
>remember I dropped halfway of omega raids
urgh I don't want to deal with this shit
wake me up when I'll finally be able to play as an imperial judge

yes
the ascians needed 8 calamities aka 8 shards merged back into the source to bring back zodiark

this is most likely why when ardbert temporarily merges with you, emet-selch sees you in your ascian form for a couple seconds

So.. you mean that everyone blessed with Hydalynes Echo is most likely one of the Ancients
who created her in the first place?

Yeah probably.

Also can we talk about how epic it was that the other players summed for the Hades fight are meant to be heroes from the other shards?

WHAT were they THINKING

Attached: file.png (380x278, 68K)

His special attack has a bullshit debuff that appears on your status bar. You can hover your mouse over it and see its effect is that you cannot perform any actions: that wasn't you being so hurt you couldn't keep fighting, the magical paralysis is the actual effect of the ability. So he is a legitimately unbeatable opponent as long as him using that ability on you is a possibility.

wwhy is zenos so fucking strong?

Wasn't he meant to show who Thancred could have become?

more like KUSOha they should quadruple its potency

Or a reincarnation of their aether, yeah.
aka, Tenzen is literally you.

Protip:
Whenever Minfilia asks you to return to the Waking Sands, teleport to Limsa Lominsa, take the aethernet to the arcanist guild, board the nearby ferry and it deposits you 20 meters away.

You'll thank me.

>it's a streamer levels to 20 then jumps to 70 without having ever played the game before episode

Because he never skipped leg day and is a total chad.
Saying no to woman only to fight your dearest friend till the ends of time will give you that power.

its just down for the count. there are a fuck ton of things in this game that apply that, its not special. it just denotes that your character got fucked up so bad they have to take a breather.

I decided to try it and I'm having fun. What is the most effective way to upgrade to full version? Do all available story and then get full version? Which version should I buy, just vanilla or full bundle with all expansions?

Incredible. This expansion actual gave the scions enough character building for me to finally care about them. Is this what it feels like to be retarded?

Shouldn't that be a 16/16

nah he lahabrea-tier dead

Chances are, he might have been a WoL himself and is trying to stop us because he knows what lies ahead

The whole mining trolley arc was way too drawn out but the fight with [Redacted] and [Redacted] was good payoff.

you know that you can just watch cutscenes in the inn right?

when does the game introduce me to crafting jobs? I'm around lvl 20 and I haven't seen any of it.

What's that one dungeon you like to do to get in the groove of a class again after not playing it for a long while?
I like using Haukke as a starter

Just bought the time card today since I got the money, should I still get the Fat Chocobo?

At lvl 1

never? you go and do crafting whenever you want

It's going to be some minor plotpoint in either the patches or next expac, it's pretty funny how most of the garlemald patch stuff in SB has been thrown out the window by the end of SHB

you have to go pick them up of your own accord

Seems like a nice bonus if you wanna level a job through fates that might have long queues.

Maybe Elidibus stole one after running away from Zenos

Considering most of the story takes place on the First it's no wonder the Eorzean troubles take a back seat.

No no, if you havent beaten the MSQ then I might've already said too much, but there is a reason WHY it's being thrown out and it's not because the MSQ takes place on The First.

Dunno, what do you like about DRG?

I hit 80 on my war while enjoying the story, got the job title of "worldcleaver" which i really like and i am now leveling mch which i also find pretty fun to play as, only problem i am facing with mch is how i am meant to be doing single target rotations, clearly when i reach 80 i will have a better idea
but as it is, at 73 i just use the 100% crit thing with the driill during a thing that uses up 50 battery and then spam heat shot to get my 2 stacking skills back up and kinda loop it like that

Where did they use the Omega escape remix?

Solus wants to sacrifice everyone on the source to feed Zodiark. He also thinks you're trash since you can't contain the light. Why on earth would your character ever betray the Scions at that point?

Is this a serious question?

I think most anons don't realize that it sets up alot of things that have a payout in the expansion. I enjoyed comfy adventuring. I look back and yearn for it because It doesn't get easier, does it?

I have never seen a class so brutally gutted. Pet abilities on your ogcd and no energy drain make it play so badly that it literally makes me sick.
At least seraphs shields stack with yours

ARR bad
HW good
SB average
ShB great

Stormblood was fine, it just has the misfortune of being the middle episode between literally the top 2 final fantasy stories of all time and can’t compete

O LOVELIEST OF BRANCHES, GRANT ME YOUR SUCCOR PLEASE

Then I would say either PLD or DRK for the flashiness, though WAR is the easiest

I was dead set on not playing it, but after checking it out(I quit during 4.0), I got to admit that it's just a massive step up and thus ended up buying it after all. Go for it.

because it lacks shields and buffs, so the other two healers are always better

I seriously hope you haven’t been using deep dungeon to level alts. It’s one of the least efficient methods after about 50, and debatable before that

So Aymeric's Garlean assistant wants his D, right?

Do they ever plan to fix leveling or they make too much money from it being shit by selling boosts?

most of the arr story was referencing the 1.0 story but barely anyone knows that because no one played that shit game, so for 90% of the story you're left with having no clue what anyone is talking about and then the cherry on top are the two dungeons at the end that have TWO HOURS of unskippable cutscenes
in the HW story you were just as clueless as the characters and you solved the mystery in a timely manner so it was in general a lot more enjoyable

For tanks and healers I dungeon spammed 1-cap but for dps I go with deep dungeons

SCH is still ridiculously strong.
It's full of bad design decisions and feels like complete dogshit to play, but it's a very good job regardless.
They really should give it, and WHM for that matter, a resource dump that isn't healing related. Dumping all your Lilies on random heals inbetween pulls or when a boss becomes untargettable feels just as shit as letting two Aetherflow stacks go to waste since Soil is all you so frequently spend it on.

Also as a side note, you can still target your fairy and have the nameplate show in combat, there's an option for it in your target settings.

So what’s the most and least popular class? I need to be a special little snowflake and pick a class that’s not popular.

It was the same case for HW and SB as well, but it helps that the HW and SB themes were actually good.

By the time the next expac comes out people will look back on ShB as what it truly was. A garbage iskei side plot made of reused assets

Mnk

Least played is any Shadowbringers healer.

Yes of course, nobody has ever enjoyed hearing Answers or Dragonsong appear again in the ARR/HW story at pinnacle moments.

Ok some are wrong(can’t spread critlo) and some aren’t actually changes(noct ast never worked with sch, that’s not new)

Others are just dumb, like “omg I have to overheat to spend stacks.” Like... yeah, the lack of aetherflow abilities sucks, and there’s no designated stack dump like ED was, but if you can’t figure out how to be efficient under the new circumstances maybe you’re just bad. drop the bubble on CD and throw excog around more often.

i think SCH was utterly ruined by the way

I meant they reused the same exact model 3 times already, only difference is they recolored him. Once in Seiryu, another in a SB dungeon, and the other in a SHB dungeon.

I'm sure brainlets and autists enjoy repeatition but most people with an iq above 60 prefer variation. It would be much more impactful if each moment had a unique track because then the OST itself tells the story too instead of just being there to make idiots smile and clap because "oh! It's the trailer music again!"

>If it's the whole soundtrack

It’s not

Variety for the sake of variety just makes the ost a jumbled mess instead of a coherent whole. Each expansion having its own main theme is unironically one of the main things that elevates FFXIV above other game soundtracks

>The Dragonsong War was actually caused by shitty Ishgardians, the dragons aren't actually evil
>the dragons aren't actually evil
Nidhogg's brood is pretty fucking evil and Hraesvelgr is a cowardly piece of shit who's just as responsible for the thousand years of suffering the descendants of Thordan went through as Nidhogg is

I really really hate how the dungeon system works in this game. Whoever designed it is mentality retarded.

The system have all these bonuses but they're all useless if you're leveling 70+ because the highest dungeon will always give the most exp.
Also why are the leveling dungeons not scaled at 80 to give 80 gear or other items? Instead once you hit 80 the leveling dungeons are pointless.
Why don't dungeons have another set of difficulty at 80? Imagine having 8 dungeons hard modes at 80.

For fucks sake if garbage WoW devs did it in 2010 what are the devs doing

Stopped after finishing ARR and heard that the missions until Hevansward are a chore, how long to finish all of them?

what's your opinion on astrologist

Elidibus and Lahabrea should be with Emet though

I've only leveled and done Extremes on WHM and SCH so far, but based purely on what I read and discussed with my cohealer, AST just seems super weak to me.
Its healing power and defensive utility is ridiculously lackluster compared to the other two and its personal damage beyond pathetic. It has its cards, but with how shit its own damage is and how many more GCDs both healers will have to spend on heals compared to a WHM/SCH duo for a similar result, I really just don't see the cards contributing enough damage to even pull ahead in overall raid DPS on more hectic healing fights.

As is if there are any fights in Savage/Ultimate that even remotely require healing I don't see AST even being considered for a spot.
The class just seems terribly undertuned. Hopefully it gets some dramatic buffs before Savage comes out.

That's not even mentioning that Play functions like a macro and can't be queued currently. Which just makes the entire class fall apart at its seems even if none of the other issues were a thing.

>emet
>"""villain"""

about 10 hours if you skip cutscenes.

Even more proof that yoshi and his team should make the next mainline final fantasy.

I don't like the flue for ashes. The drums and trumpets for Emil is killer.

Not with the way they are written. Fuicking Elidibus runs away like a bitch THIS VERY EXPANSION

Not terribly thrilled with the leveling gear this time around desu. Both vendor and dungeon drops are mostly reused models. I think one is even crafter/gatherer gear but for DoW/DoM jobs.

This is why no mmo will top WoW in terms of endgame raiding.

You only spread galvanize you mong. The crit portion, catalyze, isn't spread.

How does it play with a controller?

Who are you quoting?

Gaius was actually a great villain who just wanted to stop the primals from fucking over the whole world.
The only reason he went about things the way he did is because he didn't know what they really are or that the primals could be summoned by anybody instead of just the beast races.
Yotsuyu was just hot.

It's most of what you're hearing. Compare that to Uematsu's work on earlier games. I'm not shitting on Soken, just saying the mmo relies too heavily on leitmotifs.

Dynasty Warriors

Do game cards also have a race change?

Witcher, deus ex, baldurs gate, kotor 2, nier, nier automata, warcraft 3, divinity original sin 1 and 2, planescape torment, fuck, even kiddie shit like halo 2 has better story than this

Dynasty Warriors Gundam in particular.

Where's the truck?

Wait wait wai, so thenwho will be the 5.3 trial?

WHM has absolutely absurd AoE healing compared to the other healers, one of the best party wide mitigation tools in the game in Temperance, nigh on infinite MP even with frequent Raises, and ridiculously high and bursty personal DPS.
It's a powerhouse.

Nope, a critical adlo is still a critical adlo, catalyze is a completely separate effect you moutbreather.

SMN doesn't seem to have positive feedback atm from what I gather. BRD is probably your best bet.

He did know that, and that's one of the reasons he was so careful and waited for 20 years to make a move on Eorzea until he had a surefire way of eliminating primals, without sending his men into the meat grinder.

...

why do you guys fall for such obvious bait

To fill a quota

Because it orcs. It's always orcs. Every epax is about orcs.

This post is a complex woven tapestry of wrongness. The intricacy of how every layer and thread of what you’re wrong about enhances and plays of every other is noting short of awe inspiring.

Brava, user, brava. Not only are you the wrongest person I have ever seen, you have elevated the craft of being wrong to an art form.

I just hate how ShB ripped off the story FFXI. Namely the entire Rise of the Zilart with the Asicans basically the Zilart. Not to mention all the XI mobs rips and names.

Suffering. Also self-destruct so you can cheese lookout spots.

Odin since he's the only Primal who hasn't gotten an ultimate or extreme version yet

Go home, actiblizz shill, Destiny isnt even part of your company anymore and the only good parts were written by Staten before he left and put into grimoire cards

Yes, read the tooltip again.
Catalyze is the critlo and you can't spread it because it's catalyze, you can only spread galvanize.

Go learn to read dumbass.

Wow has a better story too

Balthier and Fran. Ivalice was also a pretty in-depth world.

Why does Thanbro stand so close all the time?

Catalyze is an *additional* effect that gets added onto a critical adlo cast.

Are you literally retarded?

XIV is just like IX in that it's an amalgam of previous FF story pieces.

Want to LAN? I'm in South Carolina

Right and that's 10x more dramatic and interesting than
>Elf who really wants dragon cock
>Something evil happened? It's the old go- I mean the asciens!
>haha behold your new antagonist, an autist who really really likes fighting and katanas
Xiv is a joke

What is the story? Everyone says it's good but I don't believe it

>WOW
>The orcs didnt do nuffin

Yeah, no.

And you can't spread it because it's CATALYZE and you can only spread GALVANIZE. What part of that do you not understand?

Balthier is fine. The worldbuilding and setting are fine. Fran is a zero character sexbot whose sole purpose is licking Balthier's soles and nodding to everything he says.

Autists

>XIV is just like the worst final fantasy in the series in that they're both lazy ripoffs of better projects
Makes sense

what melee should I level as my 2nd 80? and has anyone been taking advantage of the trust system and is it any good?

Based retard

Why the hell is an MMO the most Final Fantasy than anything SE has released in the last decade?

What part of GALVANIZE can still crit on its own, and you can spread that don't you get?

Are we looking at the same Sylvanas? Voljin and Carine is dead nigga

Which is fine too

Who cares on that, when people say they can't spread critlo anymore it's because the double shield portion of critlo can't be spread.
SCH went from a 200% spread critlo to a 125% one with a extra 125% shield on the first target.

No matter how much you put brain gymnastics on it, you can't spread critlo anymore.

Galvanize is the same critlo it’s always been and you can still spread it. Catalyze is an extra double crit that you can’t spread but nothing was nerfed.

The absolute state of whiners

People that tell you to skip the story to get to the raids are missing 75% of what makes the game unique and appealing. FFXIV has the best story of the entire franchise and it's locked behind a MMO. The start is so painfully slow, but it does start to pick up towards the end of AAR, and the entirety of HW's story is very good.

If you didn't like WoW, skipping the story to go straight to the raids won't be appealing, since the gameplay is pretty much the same hotbar combat as WoW. The raids are only fun knowing the story behind them anyway, otherwise it's just another fancy monster of the week.

Not gonna spoil the latest expac, but basically you fight an evil empire, that happens to be controlled by some intergalactic evildoers that want to make the world 1 again after splitting into 13 parallel worlds due to some hidden shenanigans from the past.
In this expac you go into one of those parallel worlds to kick gum.

>nothing was nerfed.
Spread adlo is 75% weaker.

>SCH went from a 200% spread critlo to a 125% one with a extra 125% shield on the first target

What?

Not only does none of you people’s whining make any sense at all, but Adloquium was straight up buffed and you’re still bitching about it because you can’t read

Based retard
Play scholar and check your numbers and shield sizes

75% weaker than what?

remember when MNK used to not be able to use shoulder tackle in melee range

He’s right though. Read the old tooltip and the new one

ARR: you start in one of 3 city states that form the Eorzean alliance, Eorzea is the name of the continent that vaguely looks like Africa, the Garlean empire who are basically romans are invading the continent, you drive back their forces from the Alliance's territory but a country called Ala Mhigo stays occupied by the empire
HW: in northern Eorzea there is a city state called Ishgard which is refusing to aid the alliance because they're locked in war with dragons that has been lasting for a 1000 years, you solve the conflict and Ishgard joins the alliance
SB: you move to liberate Ala Mhigo from imperial occupation but fighting the empire's main force would be impossible so you start rebellions in another province to force the imperials to fight on multiple fronts, that province is called Doma, which is basically China, you proceed to liberate Doma and Ala Mhigo, at the end you and the other scions start hearing a weird voice that pulls their spirit from their body
ShB: the voice is revealed to be a sage from the first world, which is about to be swallowed up by light aether, it's the current expansion where you try to prevent the calamity that would be caused on both worlds if the first got swallowed by light aether completely
