STAND TALL

Fuck that Y'shtola Hrothgar shit. Fucking dropped. Fuck that cuck shit.

[Call him by his name]

waiting for the last trial as we speak

>"Fray"

>Yet there can be no answer but this, can there? So let us wait for a time, you and I. In the cold and in the snow. In the dark...

With how good TBN is, do you think it gives DRK a chance to main tank, or will we just be spamming it on the paladin during tank busters?

how come we meet G'raha Tia during the CT questline if he's from the future? He wouldn't have been able to time travel

I love how you cucks push this meme almost as much as you kvetch about trannies.

Pay more attention

Tis good to see you awake, G'raha Tia.

user I'm retarded, please
I just don't get it

How come nobody's talking about how /ourguy/ Varis is dead? Fucking rip

Is it a meme though? Better if it was. Fucking hated that shit.

I'm sorry but you're retarded

STAND TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL MY FRIEND

BIG BARBED CAT DICKS FOR LITTLE BLIND CAT

Why are you like this user? The guy goes into stasis in the tower after you're done and gets awakened by the ironworks lads as they're working on the whole time travel plot

That guy is the same one you helped in the CT, just very old, he even mentions your times together, albeit subtly (a hero from my youth, etc)

In other words, Present day G'raha Tia is still sleeping in the CT at the end of shadowbringers, which is who future G'raha Tia tells to wake up at the end of the MSQ. Future G'raha Tia was awakened by the Ironworks crew and because he was able to tie his essence to the CT he was able to do the time-travel nonsense they worked on

Where the fuck do you live where physical contact immediately implies sexual intimacy? What's next? Minfilia was shagging Thancred? Papalimo railed Tataru every time he passed by the Waking Sands? I get that the typical MMOfag has no fucking clue how relationships work but jesus christ get a clue.

So, there's only 8 dungeons, but they advertised that there would be 9. I'm guessing Yoshi is counting the treasure map "dungeon" releasing with Eden Savage. I hate how he does this shit.

It kinda saddens me how Koji still insists on changing the script instead of actually translating what the characters are saying sometimes. You don't get G'raha answering your "Its good to see you awake" with "Yeah, good morning" like he does in Japanese for example. Localization and all that i suppose, but it's still annoying.

>watching DNC in a dungeon I'm running

Alright I'm interested now, can I get a tldr of the playstyle

When the fuck will they have WoL touch her like that? It was fucking princess carry shit. Fucking Squeenix cucks.

Okay looks kind of gay as fuck but whatever

When the WoL becomes an emasculated, simpering fop? Oh wait, when you're playing that's exactly what they are, I get why you're so impatient now.

Nah, I did wonder if I missed some, since it just trails off like that.

While the death scene was cool, I feel like it was kind of a waste to kill him because what then was even the point of the diplomacy scenes or any of the buildup with him.

>wants to watch y'shtola get barbed
>wants to lose fights like a bitch
Power fantasies are better than cuck fantasies bro.

So are most players done with the MSQ by now or no?

Which is the superior localization, German or English? I am fluent in both but don't know Japanese. I suspect it's the German one because it's very plain and names match more often with the jap dub.

I was kind of sad we had as little Meanwhile scenes as we did.

The Twinning is such an awesome dungeon, how it unites the lore from three separate raid series where the Ironworks were involved to explain how the Crystal Tower was transported.

Again, that's all in your head user, nothing in that scene implied intimacy, the only thing that happened was Runar being ecstatic that the one good thing that happened to his people in forever wasn't actually dead. Cuck fetishists like yourself immediately jump to "hurrrr dey must be shaggin" because that's what you want to believe.

Bleach and plaster, slightly bitter.

That's not what I want to believe. Are you even listening? That scene was fucking shit. Y'shtola should be with WoL not that fucking faggot lion. Hated that shit. They better add some fucking Y'shtola scenes with WoL.

So what are tanks melding? Is DRK just the same, direct hit again? Or can we mess around with other shit like skillspeed

>That's not what I want to believe. Are you even listening?
You say that, yet you believe it without a shred of reasoning to it. If you're not overly eager to believe it, then why do you? What is there in that scene that even remotely implies such a thing? How socially retarded are you if you believe something so obviously not true despite not even wanting to believe it?
>Y'shtola should be with WoL not that fucking faggot lion.
Pathetic. This all but proves you're just another cuck.

So you're saying it's not true? I'd rather believe that. That's what I'm fucking saying. Still WoL needs more scenes with Y'shtola like Valentine's day.

Too late for that. She literally spent 5 years getting hotdogged and spitroasted by hrothgar's dicks on the jungle.

Beastmen are gay

Unless you can get an extra hit in during BW or Delirium it's just not worth it. DH still trumps in the early of expansion.

Not me, i originally played and it ran like shit on my pc and when i built a new one i used it as a benchmark because it was the first thing i could saw. and it stuck on me.

There is nothing to prove to the contrary. Female hrothgar do exist, that much is confirmed.

enjoy it while you can, after the MSQ they all get thrown down to level 71 and can't be used again in the dungeons until you level them up, and they level far far slower than you do.

Runar is a fucking piece of shit. Someone bury that fucker. Y'shtola scene. Making you kneel. He's a fucking cunt.

I had an ultimate legend healer the other day and it was the sickest heal I had this whole xpac and poised for a 15 min dungeon clear.
Then he died 3 times to the final boss and it ended up being over 20 mins

>gonna start leveling healer
>tfw insta invites to grind dungeon
I might actually pick up the other healers that arent AST

It's ok, it's only 22 minutes.

They have exactly the same experience requirements that we do, but they don't get shit like the armory bonus they just get a flat amount of experience at the end of the dungeon. 71 to 72 takes 14 million experience and they get 2.5 million per run. So you need to do it 6 times to level them up once which is enough to level yourself up from 71 to 73.

Here comes a new challenger.

Attached: HEAVEN OR HELL DUEL ONE.jpg (2560x1440, 1.32M)

You can skip them safely without missing out since the postcredits scenes play after talking to Crystal Exarch and Tataru

No. you either setsugekka or gokken with it. the only niche situation is it's off cooldown and you're fighting 2 beefy things at once, which hardly ever happens. the 1 minute cooldown on all 3 skills means you should double setsugekka on bosses, and gokken on aoe pulls.

Only if you're fighting 2 bosses like swallows compass I think, otherwise you never kaeshi higanbana

>no healers
when will they make a healer the expansion class

I mean, I agree with the assessment, there's no 2 target situation where they're gonna last long enough to bother with this.

My friend bought the 1.0 CE and gave me his extra "guest" copy that was just the full game. Haven't touched the game since the free 14 days 1.0 players got for ARR, so I'm excited to log in and have absolutely no fucking idea what I'm doing when this download finishes.

its not even good in that situation, if you do the math, its better to manually higanbana two targets and use a kaeshi midare

Never, because healing doesn't look cool for a main character.

could you not use it to let you have two dots going on two separate meaty targets?

Is there a single thing from stormblood that couldn't have been completely skipped with no actual significant changes to the story?

So how bad is AST really right now? That was the healer I was most interested in trying pre-ShB. Will I still have fun if I've never played it before?

I need to level up 4 levels as a gunbreaker before I can continue the Stormblood MSQ. I stopped at level 64 as a RDM. What are the best options ?

Considering I haven't unlocked Stormblood Hunts, beast tribes quests or Heaven-on-High. I heard they give good amount of XP, but I don't know how much time it takes before I can unlock them.

Well, you can still ask here if nothing else.

As this image implies, Kaeshi Higanbana is never useful, not even on 2 targets who will both survive the full duration. This is because Tsubame Gaeshi is effectively a free use of any iaijutsu, without spending Sen. So using it on Higanbana saves only 1 Sen, which you can get in just 2 GCDs. Using it on Midare saves 3 Sen, which takes 8 GCDs, making using it on Midare FAR more valuable in two-target situations. If you want to apply Higanbana on two targets, it's better to apply it on one, and then use Yukikaze to quickly get another Sen to apply it to the other, rather than wasting Tsubame Gaeshi.

think up a cool looking cinematic trailer for a healer. ou can't.

Also i'd bet money the next one is MCH

ok, I told him not to use it retard.

Massive mp issues, limited healing options compared to the other healers. The card changes don't allow it to make up for it.

At most levels MSQ > AR > leveling are the best bonuses by actual % of a level you get for doing them, but in terms of time costs and mob exp leveling is typically always better because it scales against the natural amount of exp gained in the dungeon, outside of early 50 levels where the 120 trash mobs you kill in MSQ are actually still relatively valuable
AR is basically half the time of MSQ unless you roll a hard one but generally always like twice as much as an unaffected leveling bonus (ie you roll a 65 dungeon at 66 you get 1.2m bonus while any AR will give you around 2.5m exp)

Except that retarded DNCs are always partnering the worst DPS in the group (other than themselves) because no parse.

Ironically french, no idea about german though

EMET-SELCH DID NOTHING FUCKING WRONG
THE SCIONS ARE FUCKING HYPOCRITICAL FUCKWADS

Nobody is bringing DNC for their solo dps potential

yeah but the people i replied to said the buffs dont make up for it

it's really cool seeing what the ironworks got up to in the couple of hundred extra years they had in graha's timeline. Their shit actually looks fancy and not the shitty allagan knockoffs we have in the source.

For example you should boost BLM from 10 to 12k is better than going from shitty BLM 6k to 7k.

You tell me

Being one of those people, it might be a don't make up for it yet" moment, because crit scale both its change and damage and it's always relatively low at expansion start. The DNC buffs might be a lot more worthwhile as people get more crit.

That's balance discord shitter talk friend.
No one gives a fuck about the parse, just the clear. If the DRG is doing the most damage you give him the buffs for the benefit of the group.

I guarantee it will be. So don't expect it until 5.25

>sam doing the highest damage
I'm not falling for that

What ultimately got me into FFXIV was a couple of my best friends dragging me into it when they started playing during Heavensward, but I was already aware of it having hot boss battle music through another acquaintance

uh, how is SAM now? Got mine to cap but besides double midare and single target kenki big attack, nothing seems very different

Question. If the Ironworks guys helped build all this shit to cross the rift, why are we fighting the ironworks machine?

SAM is crazy strong. I'm far above people in ex trials and dungeons

I mean, you could have also pointed out that, with the exception of ninja back in ARR, they've undershot literally every new class release.

I think Elidibus can be saved. Zenos, well, there's no saving that retard. Should've left him dead.

Also how do you people feel that Viera ethnicity is that of a mexican ?

I'm hoping that Zenos will be the 5.3 MSQ trial or otherwise a solo duty during the 5.X patch stories and we finally kill him for good before the next expac. He couldn't even carry Stormblood, there's no way he can carry a second expansion.

That's why you should buff me.

Story peaked with Emet. I'll be surprised they'll ever come up with something better.
What character currently in the game is even half as interesting?

They just fucking can't continue with Zenos past the content patches. No way that idiot is still a thing in 6.0

Probably for the next one considering what happened to Arbert

Took me about 35 hours to get through the story. I poopsocked it for 3 straight days.

Except their buffs dont make up for it, their personal dps is fucking abysmal.

Took me about 2 days non-stop and I didn't skip much of the story, but kept myself distracted from time to time doing some side-quests/unlocking aether currents.

While these are probably more accurate than the other unsourced numbers, but0 SSS values don't account for burst or party buffs. That might seem like a copout answer but think of it like this.
DRG, MNKs and BLMs have a very consistent DPS curve. No real massive burst in the openers.
Samurai on the other hand can put 6k potency into a trick attack window with the opener and can do the same thing every trick window.
BLM, DRG and MNK also don't handle downtime as well.
BLM can be cut off part way through its Astral Fire burst.
DRG want to kill themselves if there's a 40-50 second downtime like Suzaku or Byakko.
MNKs always want to kill themselves
Samurai on the other hand get 600 potency worth of Kenki and a 500 potency hit from Shoha if there's a 15 second downtime AND they get all their burst back as well.

Yes, even on dummy fights SSS has ridiculously high values; but that's not what I'm referring to. I'm talking about how SSS dummy hp is determined seemingly at random with little regard to how classes actually perform compared to one another. O7S SSS for example has
>SMN hp higher than SAM, even though SMN did less damage
>DRG hp lower than NIN, even though DRG did more damage
>SMN hp higher than MNK, even though they did about the same damage
>Healers dummies are all wildly different despite them doing virtually the same damage

How much on Titania? Show us something.

It's actually two, there's one in the opposing dwarf camp too.

Partially. I remember I just saw the Shiva fight one day and knew that I had to check the game out if it could do something that cool.

Was it like this when DRK first came out in HW? Will it ever go back or did every healer really just drop their class because of the changes

>Game Informer: Now that Shadowbringers has dropped, where do you see the game going from here? Do you see yourself continuing your role as producer?

>Yoshida: With this expansion, we've really laid a groundwork for the future of Final Fantasy XIV. One goal that I had was "more content for every type of player, and more quickly." While we have traditionally released our content updates in alternating patch cycles, with Shadowbringers we're going to be changing it up somewhat. Our even numbered patches have always been bigger, while the odd numbered patches are seen as more filler. We're changing that this time where our goal is for each patch to be as packed as the even numbered ones. 5.1 is already very deep in development and will be one of the largest patches we've delivered for the game, considering we haven't revealed what else is included past the 24 player raid and Ishgard's reconstruction! I feel we're in a good position to take a few risks that we had originally been weary of trying. The mentality was very much "We can't change this, it could be too much! We need stability!" But, with how well things are doing now, I think we can finally take a few chances at creating new and interesting content for players to explore that break the mold of just dungeons and raids.
>As for me, I'm still going to be involved. But, there is another project I've been working on at Square Enix that is starting to take more and more of my attention. The team and leadership behind Final Fantasy XIV have really shown they understand my vision, and I do think the time where I step away for a while is approaching, but I'm confident everything will be just fine without me.

Yes
New tank classes very rarely draw in new people beyond the "it's new" phase
It just redistributes the existing tank players between classes

on the other hand DRK was ridiculously popular and very strong
all in all dps had the fastest queues for a bit

Why do you always partner the worst dps?

Cause I don't have act and the with tank changes I can't see any aggro at all in the target so I have to blindly guess.

You either like the way ninja plays or you don't. If you care about big number then play the easiest range caster, blm.

SSS is almost always slightly overtuned. I only cleared my PLD dummy at 436 with a lucky 20% crit run where I had 7k DPS as opposed to my normal 6.6-6.7.

Every Trial I've ever been in so far there's either been a Samurai or a Black Mage. I have exclusively buffed only those two Jobs because I thought they had the most DPS. Was I wrong?

yeah I'm gonna need some source lad

>Yoshi said in some older interview that he'd like to pass on his role as producer

>both have already worked together on DQX
I'm expecting the 24man raids to be a test run for Saito to take over as producer

I primise you it's just side stuff and extra features and not more high-difficulty content. 5.1 is currently slated to have:
>MSQ
>2 dungeons
>Extreme trial
>24-man Nier raid
>Ultimate fight
>Ishgard Reconstruction
>BLU level cap increase
>New Frontlines mode
>New Game+
>egi glamours (maybe)
So he's not lying when he says it's a big patch. A bunch of that stuff will undoubtedly be reserved for 5.15 and not all come out on the same day.

what the fuck? seriously?

Quick genuine question here; what's it like playing this game? I used to be obsessed with FF, but then they released FF 11 and I just refused to ever buy a game with a subscription fee. For the rest of my life I've never played an MMORPG or cared, but recently I've been hearing rumors that FF 14 is the last glint of brilliance in the FF series. Is it true? Or is it just feeding that old wound left by WoW in you zoomers?

If they are doing thier job well, then no. You just want to buff someone performing well. of course, dancing for the best person is going to be the most optimal, but in the end, if you're buffing someone who is performing well in general, it's fine.

Weird, that looks an awful lot like /my/ wife.

You have to be running a parsing program to be certain. You're probably correct to do so, but very often a shitty SAM or BLM will be doing much less than other jobs being played correctly.

What does prog mean? Also do you have t have a static in order to do raids or EX or whatever?

Progression, as in trying to clear the fight, or a certain mechanic.

prog - progression. the group is trying to clear, or progress to a certain point. Knowledge and possibly mastery of certain mechanics is generally required for this group

If that ends up being the case I'm fine with that, Saito did a good job on Nier Automata

For some reason during her years in the 1st Yshtola would visit Eulmore every week and nobody knows why.

No but you can just queue up and play without ever saying a word to another person if you're not interested in the difficult content.

Story wise it's unquestionably a FF game above everything else.
Gameplay wise it's mostly what people turned to when their primary MMOs began going down the shitter. Some people might attempt to convince you otherwise, but the game's content is mostly just doing whatever was brought with the most recent patch, then unsubbing until the next one hits. There is a lot of available instanced content in the form of dungeons, trials and raids, but due to the gear treadmill most of them are essentially pointless. Even grinding for cosmetics such as mounts only becomes easier over time due to the unsyncronised levels and a buff (only available in old content) that boosts your party's stats in the event of a wipe.

Actually it's probably only 1 dungeon. I forgot that the 2 dungeon patches are the even numbered ones.

>Every Trial I've ever been in so far there's either been a Samurai or a Black Mage

AN ENDING, TO MARK A NEW BEGINNING
MY PAIN, MY LONGING
YOU SHALL HAVE IT AAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL

Guys about to start the endgame dungeons for ARR and I heard the cutscenes are unskippable so how long will they roughly take? Just wondering how much time I need to set aside

Ideas for two basically identical expacs crammed into one mediocre one

No. Nobody talks to noobs anyways. I just queue up and they point me to what I should tank.

The entire story has to be played solo except for boss fights where you join other players, but it's automatic and you only need to do each fight once in order to progress the story. All the story fights are easy enough that the other people in your party can carry you even if you are afk so there is no pressure to perform well. I would recommend the free trial, it goes up to level 35 and has an infinite time duration, there isn't too much story going on at those levels but it can give you a small taste of what the game has to offer.

>catboy doesn't start singing after you kill the final boss

Can you really call this a good ending?

Technically no but you only have to team up with other players for Dungeons and Trials, and you can just use the duty finder to queue up for that. All of the main story takes pretty much no vocal coordination to manage between party members, and the dungeons in the latest expansion even allow you to use NPCs as your party members so you can play those solo as well.

Best FF story in fucking ages, those pieces of shit XIII and XV don't even compare.

praetorium and castrum? like 45 minutes to an hour each, give or take

esprit is one way to tell yes, but one of the advanced parts of Dancer is knowing to judge your partner a bit. Some knowledge of other classes help. For example, is a Samurai keeping up his 2 personal buffs, his dot? Is he performing aoe attacks? Is he using his large cooldowns? For black mage, are they achieving Fouls? Each class has some indicators to the trained eye.

oof that group is awful

what parser skin is that?

Was this Byakko?

Interesting, this sounds like it'll be one of the challenges of playing DNC effectively. Is there anywhere I can go for knowledge on other DPS jobs without actually picking them up myself?

I'll take those guys any time. Their dps is not great but they were consistent with mechanics and we farmed almost 10 runs.

Stormblood gave me Eureka so it will always be better than Heavensward in my eyes, that and I honestly love Zenos as a character and he alone makes that expansion a 9/10.

I've never played WoW or any other MMO for that matter, aside from beating up spiders for five minutes in Runescape like fifteen years ago
FFXIV is kinda like Monster Hunter in that it's a game that gets more fun when you play it with a couple good friends, and is kinda average in gameplay outside of that. The story and setting are very cool, and as long as you don't have a distaste for outright lifting a lot of stuff out of other titles you would probably like it as an FF fan.

But how can there be a story if you're playing online? Your party members are just other human players. Is the story completely relegated to NPCs, or is it like Bravely Default where the human players get killed off for shock value?

No Eureka is not good, it is amazing. My favorite content that has been in XIV so far, I have extremely high expectations for the new exploratory zone.

It's even easier with NPC trusts for dungeons but no, that's only for Shadowbringers. Also 1-50 is a bit rough and has aged like milk, it needs a revamp of some kind.

This is unironically one of those instances where people say it get's good after 40 hours which in this case is absolutely true.

Try the trial, it goes up to 35, but as I say it's the worst part of the game.

the only good part of eureka was BA

Every character has a reaction like that when looking back at Thancred during his optional dialogue.

Kagerou something. I'm not even sure, I've had this for a long time.

I'd say you can learn the basics of the jobs from the lodestone job guide. There are explanations of skills, but most of the stuff you may want to understand revolves around the job gauges. For melee classes you may want to also understand the flow of their combos briefly to see how their own resources build. I'm sure there's other resources out there too such as balance community guides.

canonically speaking, the people you party up with might as well not exist
the story is about you and the NPCs

It wasn't what drew me in initially, but it definitely has had a part in keeping me here.

Hey do not besmirch Monster Hunter. I have only played with friends for 10 hours or so but I have played every game since Freedom Unite on PSP and MH has the best progression and combat in any game I have ever played. MH is way more fun solo because then you aren't trap spamming with bombs and ko's. Friends make MH so much worse it's absolutley unreal, the game is a complete joke in terms of difficulty with even one other person with you because the monster will just ignore you half the time. The Felynes are just as bad and I hate the direction the series is going with making them more and more prominent.

cute lizard

I wonder if they'll find a way to connect the Diabolos questline with Ivalice and the MSQ in a meaningful way

Name a more iconic duo

BA was a blast but Hydatos and Pyros were far better because there was more to them. I love having an alternate means of progression in this game that doesn't even use ilvl, it is so refreshing and makes me feel like my grinding actually has merit and payoff.

Hah, you beat me to it. I love MH but it's way more fun solo since you get to control the flow of combat instead of letting others do it.

This is why I can't get into MMORPGs. In the end, part of the gameplay is left to others, which isn't fun at all.

you and i on bed

So CT, Alexander and Omega are all story relevant shit, but what about Void Ark and the Ivalice stuff, are they the same and worth doing?

Sometimes it matters like in the final boss of Shadowbringers and all the times it mentions your adventurer friends, sometimes it doesn't and it seems you soloed them, and other times they just make fun of it like the Susanoo fight

I guess ivalice will connect to the nier raid with the tartarus machine. Diabolos is a being from world of darkness and I would be extremely surprised if that connected to anything else.

Eh, you're right that MH is more challenging solo, but frankly I don't think the games are interesting enough that I would have grinded out 400 hours of hunting per game if I had not been doing it in the company of friends.

Just finished the MSQ
best MMO and RPG I've played this decade
I feel emotionally, physically and sexually satisfied

so how do they tie in the nier raids lorewise

tfw finished the MSQ and going through my ancient screenshots of when I first started, it already feels like a decade since then and everything at the end is giving me some post-series depression just because it feels like we're getting to the real endgame.

I remember playing 12 hours a day in my room by myself in high school. Learning how to fight G rank monsters for the first time all by myself, getting lost in the small maps just looking for those fuckers as they move from a zone right as I enter. So much of the spirit of MH is gone with World i makes me sad, at least I will have my memories until my mind fails.

they dont
they are breaking the rules

Fledgling SAM here in need of some guidance.

How should I be starting fights? Should I do something like...

>Hakaze > Jinpu > Hakaze > Shifu
or
>Hakaze > Jinpu > Gekko > Hakaze > Shifu > Kasha

Or should I pop Meikyo Shisui and go Jinpu > Shifu > Yukikaze > Kaiten > Higanbana?

>play as DRK
>no edgy chad dialogue option
lame

ShB's trailer and the Primal themes are what inspired me to pick it up yeah

yeah, I said "might as well not exist" because even though they mention them sometimes, they're not relevant at all to the story

didn't taro say it's gonna be canon for both or am I misremembering things

priority is always haste > damage

The redbills will probably be relevant again when we start seeing more not-XII content, Diabolos' story has ended like three separate times now

How does Soken do it?

I'm not going to listen to this "Twinning" theme before I get there myself, but your link reminded me of this gem

he literally locks himself up when composing until he's about to starve
man would go down in history in a different timeline

Which is the easiest of the now four Tank jobs?

Which is the most rewarding?

IMAGINE

Any PLD CHADS here? How is PLD in the new expansion?

WAR and DRK are braindead as fuck
GNB has the highest skill ceiling

>There were many times that Ryne was basically begging for the WoL to pat her head
>We won't ever get to do stuff like that because of Lalafells

Pretty much a straight upgade, really enjoyable to play as a tank and you don't have to do retarded paladin quests.

Sounds good but what about the opener?

>Dungeons, especially 5 & 6 are pure fucking kino
>Story is great, actually hyped for patch stories now
>Final trial FELT like a final trial
How the fuck is Yoshi going to top SHB? And how the fuck is he going to justify NOT having the DRK scenario writer write everything from now on?

Gameplay wise it was fine, but the story suffered by splitting you between two storylines at once. Neither got the development needed and both also had the weird paradox where it felt like they just paused when you weren't there but you also didn't really end up doing anything yourself until the last minute. Soon as the story started leading into SHB and narrowed its focus once more it became interesting again.

Are PLD still designated OT?

why did they nerf senei though

Why did Calcabrina's theme play and not Jesters on the moon?

It's basically Stormblood PLD but even better.

>Shelltron now blocks everything for it's duration
>Requiescat makes your spells instant cast for it's duration
>Holy Circle is the AoE version of Spirit
>Atonement makes every other DPS combo stronger
>Confiteor is a massive damage boost

It feels really really good.

it literally doesn't matter now that every tank generates infinite aggro and they all have a TBN/intervention equivalent

This is the opener I've been using:
>Hakaze > Shifu > Kasha > Hakaze > Jinpu > Kaiten > Higanbana > Ikishoten > Gekko > Senei > Meikyo > Kasha > Yukikaze > Kaiten > Setsugekka > Super Setsugekka.
Obviously weave Shintens in when kenki is over 35 unless you are about to Kaiten

yes

>yfw Natsuko Ishikawa is brought on board full time for writing and becomes a personality for the game similar to Yoshi-p and Soken

What was nerfed?

She deserves all the praise in the world after ShB.

somewhere along the way they removed 150 potency from it

no I'm talking about the 0.1% difference in power that separates the garbage auto-kick tank job from the overpowered required tank job

Just what has Natsuko Ishikawa written for XIV so far, again?

Curious. It has a super long cooldown and heavy resource requirement. I wonder why they did.

Delete this.

did I skip cutscenes by accident

Dark Knight and Crystal Tower quests for one.

I love how people joked about Vauthry being a NTR doujin character and then it turns out he literally had mindbreak powers.

Ok so go for the full combos I see. Also you just made me realize Kaiten doesn't work on Senei.

Is there seriously some backstory on her?
Tell me more.

Coerthas quests in ARR
Azim Steppe
Coil
ROG/DRK/ALC (to 50) questlines

>these are the people that play sam

do i roll drk, mch, or gnb next

Look at her face marks

I think the first thing she did was character writing for Alisaie and Haurchefant for 2.0-2.X, then the DRK questline, then pretty much full creative control over Azim Steppe and worked on other parts of Doma as well.
If Alisaie is your waifu, you can thank Ishikawa because she is really the main reason why Alisaie is so wet for the WoL.

>Coerthas quests were a decent part of ARR
>Azim Steppe was my favourite part of Stormblood
>Everyone says the DRK questline is fantastic
Well fuck me, she should get to do even more.
