Based thread.

So what materia or gear so I want to upgrade first for DRK at level 80?

Kinobringers

Time for my daily dumb question that is really subjective.
So I want to find a DPS job to level since I hit 80 on WHM and I want your opinions.
I'd like something that has some mobility so it's not stuck in place often, has some party utility but isn't a complete slave to it, and has an okay to fun rotation.
Thanks in advance. I find just about every job has something I think is interesting so picking solely on aesthetics is rough, if anyone has some advice I appreciate it.

Excellent story, excellent atmosphere, absurdly good music and great class changes.

I've been playing MMOs for 20 years and this is the best expansion I've ever seen.

Hades did nothing wrong and didn't deserve to go out like this

I found 14 boring and played it through stormblood. Is this expac good enough to change my mind?

Fuck off back to WoW, all the servers are literally full.

Sounds like DRG but it's pretty much the only class I've played since 2.0 so there might be another that's better for you. Just know that until about 60 it's kind of boring then at 70 you'll get a pretty good understanding of what the real rotation will be. Then at 80 its just nonstop damage and oGCD weaving.

Join preferred servers, it gives you a buff called "Road to 70" which buffs your exp.
If you can, make a character on Aether as this is the most populated Data Center. Crystal and Primal are somewhat okay too.

Yes now go back to WoW. I think there's a thread up right now on the 7th page. If you act fast enough you might be able to make 1 post before it 404s

If you're insistent on playing, then pay attention to the story. Don't be like the WoWfugee faggots that skip everything then complain they didn't know it had a story.

Guys why are the ffxiv playable races the worst races of any mmo? I'd go Roe cause they look good with the tanking classes but then if I want to be a caster I risk looking absolutely garbage. I don't want to be a human! Elves have a horrible model! No gnomes! No human but with animal ears! Plz help, which race do pick??

Pick the hang yourself race

i lucked out being able to make a character on famfrit right before it closed.

I really enjoy new AST minus play/draw being seperate skills and Divination being on such a long cooldown.

There's a Yea Forums FC on Ultros, ZR (Golden Ratio), you'd be free to join if you care to, so if that's up your alley then it's as good a place as any. If not then anyplace is fine, really. Everything is fairly populated right now so just spin the wheel and see where you land.

Aren't they exaggerated to prevent server blow up? They aren't actually that full.

>Bait image from meme website
>this is their proof
Lmao weebs are so pathetic
Every time I come into these threads to watch you idiots posture and shriek it reminds me of how my little brother always used to cry and scream for attention because he could never live up to me or my own big brother. But I guess that's basically what 14 players are, the annoying little kid always walking in big bros shadow who thinks just because he's no longer in pre school he's hot shit.
Well until he gets his face beat in. Enjoy yourselves while it lasts ;3

You can have bahamut out at the end of your first Dreadwyrm trance, but getting phoenix takes maybe a full minute. It flows pretty nicely though once you have all your toys.

Why does hate newcomers? I not playing wow. Servers populated is good thing! Right now is full but when expansion isnt new anymore you want game to be lively

Thanks for the information.
Which healing jobs are the most fun to play?

I'm calling janny

I literally said I dont want human but with animal ears

I thought it was an incredibly mixed bag, really liked the first like 60% and then it started to lose air.
Mehmet-Selch turned out to be your bog standard "monster" instead of an actually good villain who had better ideals than the WoD, this I didn't care for at all
>muh final form reveal
I also didn't see why they would build up the whole "corrupted light soul" BS only to do literally nothing with it, no heroic sacrifice for Ardbert, no nothing, just an asspull at the last second, some concerned looks and "lol ur healed now", where's my cool sin eater version of MC and my duty where I can slash at loli Minfilia only to have Chadcred save her

I also didn't like the fact that Vauthry turned beautiful in his boss fight, seemed to me like he should've turned into some giant abomination not unlike his human form, instead of some stupid angel

They're insecure cuz even if wow dies it'll always be remembered as the best mmo cuz of tbc and wrath. When you have to stand against an insurmountable mountain you'd get snippy towards criticism too.
Plus some people are just brainless fanboys so, eh.
To answer your question, the game was made on the cheap so we can't have varied races because that would be too expensive, prease understand

Haven't played in years but is Samurai still worthless?

I'll admit it is kind of frustrating
>Literally the only good msq so far
>still mediocre
Maybe SE will hire proper writers at some point

Kasha and Gekko have a flank and rear positional but they only grant extra kenki instead of weapon potency, still important though.

Why are you expecting the true form of another race to be humanoid? Why would he fight on his human body when he clearly said that lahabrea fucked himself up for jumping from body to body.
Did you miss the multiple times people told the wol that the lightwardens light is too much "for one soul to bear"?
Emet plan was most likely to turn us into a sin eater so we'd destroy everything. As to why he wanted us to control the light, probably he just liked us, not to mention he saw a bit of that other person in us.
If we learned anything from primals is that these beings take the shape that they want, maybe that's how vaultry seen himself as a beautiful righteous god.
>tfw for the longest time I assumed Crystal Exarch was Alphinaud from the future

Easy to gauge progression that isn't bogged down by shitty Diablo-style loot systems that are made frustrating by daily and weekly cooldowns.

No idea. There used to be one on Catuar but not a clue if that still exists.

I think the PS4Pro uses boost mode for 60 FPS.

What happen to that midget?

emets spoiler and the underwater city are all about presentation and plot context

there is nothing to spoil out of context except maybe "ascian final boss!!" which barely should be a surprise

I was hoping it wouldn't turn into some ridiculous "epic" faceoff against some weird alien deity, Emet deserved better than to just be another literal who slain by the MC
My point with the whole lightwarden light being too much for the MC was that they didn't do anything with it, as I said, it's just there one moment and gone the next, nothing ever comes of it except for the possibility of something bad happening and the heores being pushed to action because of it

Ardbert did sacrifice himself you fucking moron. He rejoined with the WoL's soul. That's what let them get back up and squash down the Light corruption long enough to weaponize the excess Light.

He wasn't strong enough. Like all the other Ascians, he assumed the shards were too weak and sub-Ascian to protect themselves. That was his mistake.

I really hope this is all some part of Elidibus's grand redeeming KEIKAKU and it bites Zenos in the ass since he's even shittier than Lahabrea and Elidibus are.

Why does Urianger get so much flack from the playerbase? He's literally the most based scion, always putting the most work in from the shadows, going farther than all the others. Only Thancred is the other scion with a modicum of personality and he spent this expac being a bitch

Best not get your hopes up. All he's done is job and mumble about muh balance, so unless he has a dramatically different plan than the other Ascians did I don't expect much out of him.

Zenos doesn't even want the position. He'll probably fuck off and the empire will fall into civil war again for a new emperor.

>this guy gets summoned to help you fight Hades

i hope the maintenence fixes en avant

Every time anyone has mentioned Urianger theyve talked about how based he is, where is the flak coming from

One of the reasons I didn't want to buy shadowbringers was because I felt like they were homogenizing and making healers and tanks even more boring based on what I saw during liveletters

Maybe the contrarians on Yea Forums might like urianger but most players ive met ingame hate him

At least we now learned that Lahabrea was just a fucking nerd who loved creating things like Primals so the WoL busting up all of the primals he helped so the seeds for sent him into an autistic rage.

You're taking the he-man thing a bit too far.
Might want to dial that back a bit.

You posted this before you autist

>I heard you call yourself the warrior of darkness now
>And everyone knows warriors of light always defeat those of darkness
>So therefore, I will win this time!!!!!
So is he brain damaged or?

>Building you up to become the greatest primal of all to fight both gods and create his world.

Can I say based?

You would think that living for centuries and being an ancient would mean they would have some decent plan up their sleeve to at least hinder us or put us out of action for a few minutes. I guess the tempering that Zodiark did to them ravaged their brains.

Ranjiy would've been better and more believable if they introduced him as Ardbert's teacher or even a Warrior of Light that stayed behind. You basically just get told how strong he is but you're never really shown it.

Probably low IQs who think his words are too complex to understand

This.
They talk about how the Emperor's first act was to declare Zenos his successor to avoid another civil war, but since Zenos likely doesn't give a fuck and will immediately fuck off, the civil war will likely happen anyway.

Not for long.

I doubt it. It's clear this is going in a very KEfka situations.

They gave the keys to a guy who all he cares about is to crash cars. Lahabrea and now Elidibus keep thinking the Garloans are just easy-to-trick morons and now it's gonna blow up on their faces.

But user You're Zodiark, they don't talk about you being "incomplete" for no reason, Hades doesn't "test" you by seeing how well you can contain light for no reason.

It's probably more they've never had any real opposition who was actively undoing their plans instead of just causing minor set backs so now he's panicking.
Or he still hopefully has a few tricks up his sleeve, since they've always mentioned that his goals and methods have differed from the other Ascians.
Like saving Unukalhai who I'm pretty sure will turn out to be the shard of (You) from the 13th.

Kinobringers objectively blew heavensward out of the water.

Just finished last night and I’m now confused about the Ascians’ previous actions in light of what we've learned.
I get why they want to destroy other shards, so their essence flows back to the Source, and if they do all of them it brings about the Rejoining, thusly resurrecting Zodiark and allowing them to restore all their friends by offering the current life on the Source.
But this means all the calamities on the Source are just side effects of a shard being destroyed, not an end in themselves.
Seems like if they want a world full of life to offer to Zodiark upon his return, they wouldn’t be teaching the beast races to summon creatures that sap life from the world.
So why do they do anything on the Source, for that matter? What does all the summoning of primals in Eorzea accomplish? Why not spend all their time on other shards bringing about apocalypses like Emet did on the First?
As a specific example, what did the Amal’jaa summoning Ifrit back at the beginning of 2.0 achieve for them?
The only explanation I can think of is that the aether the primals draw might be directly from Hydaelyn and so it weakens her. But that’s still really weak because they’re destroying their own world in the process. If the whole world was like The Burn it would be useless to the Ascians. That's precisely why they made the second offering to Zodiark; to bring life to a dead world because it was intolerable to them.

The question is if the end game is a bore/non-existant as always. Otherwise, having a grand time so far with the story.

thanks. I will go back to WoW when Classic launches but otherwise I'm just staying away from MMOs til then. Thx again.

>lvl 80 dungeons already have queues up to 20 minutes

this entire expac has built ascians up as lamentable immortals barely hanging on to sanity

eldibus doesnt deserve to be bullied, his mind has decayed much worse than emet ok

member when all the wow faggs and wrpg fags laughed at muh jrpg as not being rpgs?
funny how a jrpg is doing it right isnt it?

I would enjoy this expansion more if they didn’t remove literally all the utility off classes. This really fucking sucks. I hate that theres nothing for any class to do other than maximize dps and virtually any buff that exist is selfish self buffs that you line up with other dps self buffs.

No I disagree. The 14th member of the council of 14 that resigned was the original WoL that summoned Hydaelyn to defeat Zodiark. We're that WoL who's soul was split up into 13 pieces. Hydaelyn's blessing helped us defeat Hades in the second phase. Ehmet saw in us that original WoL so he wanted to put his faith in us to see if we could contain the light hence why he was testing us, to see if we're "worthy" of becoming who we were again.

>Is it fun

>Is it easy
Yes, more so than RDM even

The surge of aether from both loads of people suddenly dying on the Source and the shards getting fucked up is what allows the Rejoining to happen. They have said the the point of summoning primals is to siphon off Aether which in turn weakens Hydaelyn, which probably prevents her from aiding her champions in fucking up their plans.

he makes brainlets feel like brainlets

Enjoy your 15 year old dog food

The most important question is if ShB Hildi will be better than the ARR Hildibrand questline

I wonder what being tempered by Zodiark actually did, and if it was all Ascians?

And did the Ascians just dream up their own destruction, and it snowballed?

I've got a shit ton of main stat materia around 1-4 rank. Is there a place I can trade it in, or do I just convert it at Mutamix? I need to free up a lot of bag space and this is a big part of wasted space.

>saving Unukalhai who I'm pretty sure will turn out to be the shard of (You) from the 13th.
Holy fuck I completely forgot about Unukalhai This just keeps getting more and more kino, fucking yoshi.

the rejoining takes two to tango

both sides need to be unstable. the black rose genocide is half of the puzzle

I went through most of the story assuming he had the echo, since it explained how he knew we were there when invisible, grabbed an invisible pixie, reacted to Urianger using rescue on him before he actually did it, and fused with his dragonbro, but they never elaborated on it.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GIVE ME NEW GAME PLUS YOSHI I WANT TO GO THROUGH THE STORY AGAIN

Attached: 1547422816490.png (464x452, 187K)

I want to get into this but the only classes that really interest me are Gunbreaker and maybe Warrior. Can I go through the entire game only playing those two?

I got kind of tired of him being Mr. Secrets along with his buddy Exarch. I get it, there's lots of threads to unravel and stuff but there was just too much concealment at some points in the story.
I think Urianger alone is just the right amount of secrets but Exarch being added to the mix, being the incredibly mysterious person he is supposed to be, really made me kind of resent them both at times for cutting off so much information from us.
He cute tho, i'm jealous of Y'shtola for being able to grab his ass.

Yes

He's too smart for the average player

That doesn't make a damn bit of sense user Nothing about summoning Hydaelyn would "split our soul", the only time such splitting is mentioned is when they talk about how that's Hydaelyn's power. Another key point is Emets line when you use "her" power against him, which is as likely to refer to "you" than "Hydaelyn", there's also no reason to believe Hydaelyn's power would be very particularly effective against Ascians. But again, main reasoning here is that there is nothing to suggest there is anything other than Hydaelyn herself which could shatter a soul, conveniently into the same 13 pieces that Zodiark was shattered into.

You can start as Marauder which turns into Warrior, then pick up Gunbreaker at 60.

Nah, you're an Ascian. You're incomplete because you were split into 14 pieces, one of them being Ardbert. You even appear to Emet as one of the hooded Amaurotines right before the final battle, and he's shocked that you're complete enough to resemble your original self.
It's also why he asks if you remember Amaurot back in Kholusia.
There's even an Amaurotine whose ambient dialogue is something like "wait, I know you..." when you walk near.

Did you pay attention at all? An apocalyptic threat on the Source has to occur at the same time as one of the shards so that the damage to the Source would require it sucking up the entirety of the aether from the shard back into itselt.

I think you're misremembering the fight user Hades says "curse her blessing that gives you such strength." Not to mention right before the level 80 dungeon he remarks how in every age a WoL arises to fight against the ascians. Also what this user over here says

If you were expecting some sort of support dps, I’d say its disappointing but as far as how it rotation works its fun.

I say its not fun as a support dps because:
>their “buffs” are all generic small dps increases that you line up with other classes self buffs in order to maximize dps, plus their main buff (standard finish) which is something that you simply upkeep like ninjas huton, only works on whoever you have set as your dance partner which will quite frankly simply be the highest person in the parse. Technical finish is just another generic party buff that you line up with shit like TA, and saber dance is just an extra boost to standard finish that you’ll ideally try to line up with your dance partners cooldowns
>curing waltz is heavily flawed, if switching your dance partner was instant and not on a cooldown, curing waltz would actually be cool in the sense that you could strategically weave closed position into the tank whenever you feel like they need the healing boost. The cooldown and small range also hurt it at being any sort of useful

Is it feasible to run heaven on high for 70+ characters or does the exp drop of hard in favor of trusts?

I've been through ARR HW SB and now ShB with 80% WHM playtime only. You really don't need to play more than one job if you don't want to.

Do both blue storylines on raktika, then that final one unlocks.

Did Emet show up in 4.4? It's pretty incredible that they pulled in pretty "short" time.

Gives me hope they could do something cool with Garlemald outside shitty Zenos as well

there's a questline where he tricks the pixies into making tea for him by pretending to hate it
also yes he continues to be the only useful scion even though he should really stop being such a secretive nerd about everything

it's all fun and games until you spend 20 or 30 hours wiping to living liquid

No idea. He was easily my favorite scion going in, and by the part where he gets down on one knee to apologize I was wishing he was proposing instead.

Boy her power is to split, which she did for everyone but the main 3 ascians. The real question is how did they escape getting split

Also one of the side quests in Aumarot has the receptionist in the department of architects saying that the power to create is minimal in you, you have it but it's minimal.

user, you can not like the others but I'd say Y'shtola is the only Scion lacking a defined personality at this point.
She's like a discount Urianger with an autistic hate for secrets.

He's fucking based and the only character that justifies Koji's S U C C O R translation.

>no lalafell scion thats not a secretary to be the bookworm combat type like papalymo was
>no roegadyn or hrothgar scion to be the muscle of the group
This bothers me like you would not believe, but this expansion made me like all the scions a lot more except thancred and yshtola

Is there any difference between Eos and Selene?

Black Mage. Hear me out; I have it at 79 atm, and not only is it the most mobile it's ever been, but it's extremely fun to play. Just make mouseover macros for aetherial manipulation. If that fails to satisfy, try rdm I suppose

The same Amaurite pretty much refuses to believe that You can't use the creation power though too.

>I know the FATE of everything hangs in the balance and my contributions may end up being a determining factor between salvation and oblivion but let me sacrifice myself to save half a dozen tree fuckers. Don't worry, I have plot armor.
Can you guess the character?

>The real question is how did they escape getting split
Not the 3 main ascians, the 13 ascians. And Ehmet tells us that Zodiark had tempered those that summoned him.

I'm still waiting for our adventures with the B team, imagine them with trust system

You think maybe its how Ysayle also had her blessing and was able to "create" Shiva

I never heard anyone criticize Urianger here except perhaps that he wasn't really a character until HW. He just hung out at the Waking Sands and delivered exposition. He's definitely the best Scion by now.

The answer was obvious but there were so many ironworks red herrings I began to think maybe it wasnt who I thought it could be.

If they let Ishikawa write an actual Garlemald expansion she could probably salvage them. This is the same writer that managed to make Bahamut and now the fucking Ascians sympathetic.

That would have been fitting, Ardbert's squad was always lacking a melee dps.

indoctrination
one game has objectively bad gameplay and the people playing it praise it for that
the other had objectively good gameplay and watched it degrade to pure unfiltered shit over the span of many years

Do you have to level crafters/gatherers to get good gear at endgame?

Thancred was an annoying faggot this xpac, he just needed to accept that Minfillia was dead. Y'shtola on the other hand has been the same since ARR, she has literally not had any character development at all which is bad.

True, I even started liking Thancred after this expansion. Y'shtola is still shit though.

I didn't know it was an rp server when I first made a character; all my friends were already playing ;_;

No. Selene was deleted completely, they just kept their button there to make it seem like you have two summons instead of making her into pet glamour.

hoary boulder and krile are scions even if they aren't main scions

None of that cheek, or I shall take you across my knee

Seething

Lahabrea, Emet and Edilibus are the three main, as told by Emet himself. They are the only ones who are their whole selves from the original world. The titles of the other ascians are just titles to be filled by them 3 plucking a fragmented self of their comrades soul. Thats if im remembering correctly, I need to refind the things Emet tells you when you ask him questions.

So now that the dust has settled and ShB turned out to be a lukewarm disappointment, are you going to stay subscribed?
The gameplay of both healers and tanks were gutted, so personally I won't stay around to grind weekly lockouts for gear that won't stay relevant for more than 3 months anyway.

But why?

>Y'shtola on the other hand has been the same since ARR
She's definitely changed. They even mention ingame how she seems different after spending years on the first

Because they've pruned or replaced a lot of redundant niche skills.

who are you trying to convince

Sticking with their typical content and gearing model for raids. Really, at this point, they could afford to take some risks when it comes to how players are rewarded and how stats work.
Scholar seems to have been reworked a little too heavily as well (though I don't play it).

>turned out to be a lukewarm disappointment

Attached: 1557173007492.jpg (645x1000, 107K)

So anyway, we all know next expansion will have two dps again but lets talk about the one after that when they finally add a fourth healer.

I’m expecting scholar skillset to be reworked completely and made into what arithmetician will be. They’ll rewrite the lore so the fairy is out of the picture.

The new healer I’m expecting it to be salvemaker and will have mix as a skill that acts like mudras but instead depending on the combination it makes different buffs, probably an attack/shield/regen buff. It will hopefully not have any fucking stances since those are cancer, and will have weapon skills to make it a more close ranged healer but I doubt it all the same.

Anyone hoping there is a mistral ballad fight of a what if Warden of Light?

>ShB turned out to be a lukewarm disappointment

t.faggot that skipped the story for muh endgayme. Fuck off back to WoW.

Why are you posting here, I thought you went home

As someone who disliked yshtola and couldn't understand her appeal besides catgirl mascot, she grew on me a lot in SHB

name a single wrpg that has good non turn based combat.. oh wait they dont exist.

so what happens to elidibus in the last cutscene? I know he's on the moon but that's it

Nigga xpac isn't over yet, and the fact that [spoilers]scions are staying on the first for the next 4 patches means we might actually see a Warden of Light fight, especially since Elidibus mentions how he's going to get a WoL to kill us.[/spoiler]

Maybe they should stop adding new jobs and find a way to give a big boost to current ones.

The next expansion will be about Sharlayan and their exploration into ???, with Alisaie's mom teasing Alisaie heavily about her relationship with (You), and even threatening to steal you away from her.

I think it's a cause/effect relationship between a shard's destruction and the ensuing calamity.
Urianger said in that scene in his house that if water overtook a world we'd get floods in the Source.
One causes the other, they aren't independent events.
Black Rose only works because it uses the aether-disrupting abilities of the First's light.
That's why stopping the light in the First disables the gas in the Source, but the gas' use has no bearing on what happens in the First.

Because that sure worked out great for him the first time.

I was more on a what if they succumbed ie the scions werent there to save the wol and you fight a hypothetical boss.

No, it specifies that there was a great battle, at the end of which came the sundering, also it mentions that the summoning of Zodiark and Hydaelyn both required sacrifices, so it makes no sense that the soul of Hydaelyn's summoner would still be around afterward.

He ran away from Zenos to the moon the plot his next "plan"

He's just seething. That's literally it.

he's getting scared
he's the only one left

He just gives up now that the last ascian capable of killing WoL is dead

Why would you play anything else?

No, they mention specifically such summoning requires sacrifice, which is a recurring theme in the post-game dungeon as well, where the final boss has an amaurotian sacrifice himself to summon it. What they were going to feed Zodiark more shite for was to return the amaurotians that were the initial sacrifice to summon it. It is simply not possible for your character to be the one that made Hydaelyn

because it's getting the neff hammer in a few days, no way a healer gets to stay at 8k dps

It naturally will be, however I had a DNC keep up with me as a MNK in an EX trial yesterday. I was 12k and they were 10-9k, but it could also be I'm missing most goetia gear and they were decked out for the most part

People are gonna meme that picture of the SSS dummies but Dancers can get almost 9.5k~10k if you get good procs.
That being said I played with the best bard on my server last night who had the literal best gear you can get right now and she did 12kDPS single target, plus buffs.
Pretty fucking disappointing honestly but not unexpected. It's a job where you're giving someone a +5% permanent damage buff, and you give everyone a 5%+ buff.
I'm thinking Bard will still end up being the ranged job people settle on IF there's still a lot of emphasis on raid buffs which I kind of hope isn't true.

But that's just me, I know few others will see it that way.

I don't really see why not, though I imagine they are more toward being ARPGs than what most people would describe as a WRPG. Alpha protocol might count desu.

why are mmos so fucking shit lads?

For GNB

sarg isn't an rp server, it's a tryhard server

i don't care how bad dnc is i'm going to play it forever

I love it when story and mechanics sync up perfectly like this.
In the cutscene for the trial your 7 other party members are placed in a circle around you where the beams of light are.
I was playing with very good friends as we all did it for the first time and it was a corny sort of good feeling that each of us was an incarnation of the other on a different shard.
A bit like Ending E of Automata.

So when did you realize that Because you're a fragment of a shattered primal, your powerlevel is based off of the faith people have in you, and the reason you jobbed to Ran'jit early is because you didn't have enough believers, and by the time you fight him again the whole world put their faith in you and you floor him with relative ease

How fun are WAR and GNB? I’ve been maining WAR since ARR and decided to level DRK first this expansion. I’m liking it so far at 73 but I’d like to know how the others are holding up.

>when Ardbert speaks through you
holy shit that was so unexpected. I'm so glad I fantasiad into a male midlander this xpac. That scene would have looked so strange on my female miqo'te.

Took me an hour and a half, nice of Emet to wait.

Boy we're a fragmented ascian who was in the same council emet and the rest were in. I want this WoL is a primal shit to die already

There's a reason Emet asked you to remember him

You're not a shattered Primal you dipshit, you're a shattered Ascian

The council of 13 were assholes, the other Amurotines were nice people. They didn't deserve the termination.

>Because you're a fragment of a shattered primal
speedreaders begone

>how is the expansion overall and the story?
Absolutely superb on almost every level. Dungeons are good, Trials are great, level design is superb, and the story and music and god-tier. It's almost a tragedy this is locked behind hundreds of hours of play.
Leave the thread, you don't want this spoiled if you haven't already.

Lala's make the best face in that scene though. The exaggerated facial expressions of the race make them seem way angrier than the other races.

So, what will ours look like?

>Don't kill ex primals in the first days of a patch/expansion.

Every fucking time.

user.... What was Shiva again? Remind me how primals work? You dumb fuck. Did you not pay any attention at all? The whole of Amaurot talks about how there will soon be a fourteenth member of the council you, with zodiark summoned through you

It's not the speed, it's the mandatory story quests

You clearly have no ability to empathize.
The ending was the culmination of various relationships throughout the MSQ. Stop skipping cutscenes and maybe you would understand the symbolism of the final battle.

Who am I kidding? You're probably 12 or a brainlet who has never read any proper fiction.

That doesn't make you a primal you fucking dumbdumb.

that's what you get for not being a skip-chad

Authors of our fates

single player chads vs multiplayer virgins

6.0 will be ending the war with Garlemald and the poster job will be Gunbreaker
7.0 will be teaming up with the remaining Garleans to fight Hydaelyn and Zodiark and stop the world from ending
Which will lead into Final Fantasy XVII, the next MMO designed from the ground up by Yoshi and his team

Story is good but...
>playing mmos for the story

Overall if you take away the story the game is a pile of shit and all the faggots are on their honeymoon. This expansion is going to be worse than storm blood and you faggots will be crying in 1 Month in how shit it is. Then in 1 Month wow classic comes out and the but hurt will be insane. All the classes feel worse and the shit to do is getting boring fast.

You were warned weeb faggots...

>Becoming a primal doesn't make you a primal
Imagine being this much of a brainlet unironically though?

You have everyone gearing up all their jobs because they're not sure who they're taking into raids yet, launch primals dont die out for a while

fuck off back to WoW faggot

Did you even play Shadowbringers you absolute triple fucking nigger?

i refuse to believe the game will ever hit a trench as low as stormblood again

He was basically the "Azula" of Shadowbringers . He was this great, strong general that more or less existed just to chase down the hero and add a traveling antagonist to the story while you prepared to go after the big bad.

It's usually a group of friends who need a couple more suckers for a full party. they WILL disband after getting their own stuff

>Which will lead into Final Fantasy XVII, the next MMO designed from the ground up by Yoshi and his team
I hope it's an entirely fantasy world like the first, I really loved how Voeburt was basically the kingdom from FF1, and the shadowkeeper was the shadowlord from FF11.

When will you realize those with hydaelyn's blessing are fragmented Amaurotites who have the potential to use creation magic? You know what primal summoning is? ITS FUCKING CREATION MAGIC. THEY EVEN MENTIONED HOW WHILE IT WAS EASY FOR THE ANCIENTS TO USE IT, IT TAKES THE USE OF CRYSTALS BECAUSE WE ARENT AS COMPLETE AS THEY WERE

They don't die out but you get people that can't even do a basic rotation and seriously argues that putting some materia in their gear is a waste of time.

It's just one line. It's not that weird.

Since playing the DPS I have leveled now at any cap below 70 makes me want to shoot myself, I only do EX and Trial for tomes, and the rest for EXP if I fell like doing them.
Trial might drop me somewhere "bad" but at least it's over dramatically faster than the others.

Don't say that. There's going to be Garlean fuckery next expansion, and now that we have all of these loose ends on the table, they can easily come in and fuck EVERYTHING up.
I'm incredibly skeptical at how they will tie everything into each other.

>You literally bring together the remainder of the world together under 1 banner, HUMANITY

God I hate people.
T6 materia is infinitely recyclable now so you spend maybe 100k to get a set for the rest of the expansion if you don't want to spend money on materia for quickly replaced gear.

inb4 its all techno fantasy a la XIII

Which tank has the best healing/survivability for doing old extreme content solo

stuck it out with MNK
I miss my OGCDs but hitting harder to make up for it is pretty nice

All they have to do is keep Ishikawa on as the main scenario writer, and after seeing the absolutely glowing universal praise they're getting for Shadowbringers they would be complete fucking fools now to.

side and rear like any melee. it makes up a buttload of damage despite no direct potency buff because it gives kenki

I wonder if they're setting up Gaius as the next emperor. He seems to be the only Garlean amenable to reason and I don't see them fully dismantling the empire.

how likely are we going to fight Hydaelyn itself?

Koji was masturbating furiously as he worked on the whole Amaurot dialogue. I can imagine that stupid grin on his face as he got to write his witty faux intelligencia dialogue. The scenes in the Rhetoric debate hall were so self-aggrandizing. Now if only he could learn to stop rewriting characters and making them worse.

PLD

I really want to play FFXIV, but it's hard for me to spend 3-400 hours in a single game when I could be playing a bunch of other games instead. What should I do?

Attached: 1505709398018.png (250x382, 154K)

I doubt it, Yoshi has been very vocal about how he wants a return to Fantasy for Final Fantasy. He hated the direction the game went with 13 onwards, he also said that Shadowbringers is his vision of what a true Final Fantasy story should be, and holy fuck is it great.

>Phone posting illberd spammer was a retard all along
SUCH REVELATIONS

*not to, rather

PLD and WAR.
WAR's self-healing is crazy right now but Clemeny wins in the long run.

Why does every male model in this game look like an absolute faggot or a triangle?

I actually really like the sci-fi fantasy theme of FF7, 8 and 13. It's a very unique aesthetic you don't really see elsewhere.

>3-400 hours

Where the fuck are you even getting this shit buddy? This is some of the most retarded headcanon I've ever seen. Even this retarded bollocks about creation magic which has fuck all to do with the subject at hand, nobody is saying you were not an ascian at some point, but the ascians sacrificed themselves to fucking summon zodiark and hydaelyn you dumb fuck, did you even play the fucking game?

>tfw enhanced bootshine with a crit and direct hit and all the buffs possible
Literal boner

They really need to expand the weapons inventory. This shit is ridiculous.

Fuck that, have them summon the Ark Angels, but add more for the unique FF14 races like Viera and Hrothgar.

cant you just change classes at will in FFXIV?

Unfortunately, I find it unlikely that they will do so.
She's a great writer but I know they will want someone to write the overarching Garlean story. Her work is best done on high fantasy, true Final Fantasy rhetoric and they know this. I imagine she would hate having to write an expansion all about Garlemald.

So do the retards in this thread think the dps numbers for titania posted earlier think it was a parse and not a calculation of the dps dummy hp?
Square basically expects whm to hit harder than tanks

>WoL is a primal!!! retards suddenly exploding en masse
Die off already. I bet you think Hydaelyn is evil too

Ran'jit. his strength having no explanation, has all these cool abilities that they never expound upon. like he wears his dragon like a scarf. you gonna tell me how that happens? no? he's just a normal wuxia general? ok then.

All but one of my champions were in AF4 gear. The last one was a half naked Roe with a moogle head.

His shard must be fun

Yeah but you need to level each one independently. Leveling a Ninja doesn't make a Black mage level up. There's only one exception.

imagine if ShB had a branching story and you could side with Solus

Fuck this part really hit me in the feels.

I wouldn't be surprised if the "good" faction of Garlean takes control and they elect him president or some shit after a brutal civil war.

Beware the old man in a profession where men die young

you will never play every game, read every book, or see every movie

if you find something entertaining, do it, who cares about the opportunity cost

There's something really tragic about being the creators of the world then forgotten over time.
>that one Amaurotine that created jellyfish and casually spoke about how he wouldn't lose a wink of sleep if it was rejected.
Makes me wonder, if they were the ones that created animals, who created them?

>Just got to the Tempest
I was planning on finishing it today but suddenly for the Sahagin appeared. Fuck.

Definitely. The Glamour cabinet slots doubled in size from 200 to 400, but we're getting new jobs and not more inventory space for their gear.

Nigger leave the thread, we're posting a lot of fucking spoilers.

Take bets on how we get our relics this time around

well maybe. We gonna kill both hydaelyn and zodiark at some point. I am pretty sure everyone will get happy ending in the last expansion

Jobbing to Snakeman is probably my least favorite thing in the entire expansion, they didnt even give a fucking reason why he was so strong, he just was. I know they're gonna pull the same shit again next expansion too because they just seem to love having us job to someone then best them later.

I'm going to fucking miss him bros. Hope we get him as a minion down the road.

This is where I took a break to come back the next day and pull forward the end stretch.
Seriously leave the thread and go get some rest, come back tomorrow and you will not want to stop playing after a certain point, trust me.

Eureka 7.0. Because the playerbase loved it so much and the clear rates were acceptable.

>we will witness the definitive ascian demise by the end of ShB
I'm gonna miss them, they were there since ARR and played a major role in every expansion

Shhh you can't criticize Koji here. This is a pro baldy site.

>implying he isn't coming back in the final expac to help us defeat elidibus that becomes Zodiark himself.

Zenos, as much of a faggot as he was, was at least the last boss of the expansion.
I wouldn't like it, but I wouldn't hate it if they did similar again.

W-w-what is he planning??

Likely whatever caused the first calamity.
Which we'll have to fight after we become 14/14 when Elidibus gets done force feeding us the other 5.

I swear to fucking god after all the hyping up these threads made for him, if the faggot zoomer that was consorting with the emperor in stormblood story doesn’t end up being some sort of amazing deep character I’m going to be so fucking disappointing.

>his genuine smile as he fades away

I'm glad. Having them stick around for so long when we have other villains is unnecessary.

No joke, when you sit down and read it again it's the most cookie cutter fucking lore imaginable coated in masturbatory ~**PRETTY.-^-.WORDS**~. It's literally "dude monsters kicked our shit in"

>when Elidibus gets done force feeding us the other 5
That is what he's going to do isnt it? He doesnt realize that will be his downfall until we're made complete and our ascian mask appears

>WAAAAA WHY DOES XIV RIP OFF SO MUCH FROM XI?!?!?!

I knew it was him. There was no other way.

But how it was revealed was gut-wrenching.

I think the easy pick for a new healer is Chemist.
Mix functions like mudras. Toss poison bombs and shit. The only question is what weapon do they use.
I know it's thematically close to white mage but I wouldn't mind seeing a Cleric job. Give those fuckers a mace and a red mage type gimmick where they charge in to do a melee combo every now and then for some sort of bonus. Name all of their abilities after the Twelve (remember them?)
