Everyone who played FFXIV seems to think it's the greatest game ever...

>Monthly fee
The monthly interest credit I receive from my savings account is nearly 4x the amount of this game's monthly fee, so I play for free technically.

Is 400 hours is too much for normalfags huh

>paying a fee
>saying it's free cause you make money

Really is easy to finesse rich niggas

400 hours is too much for anyone with a fucking job, you NEET bastard. Stop leeching off society and do something.

um I am now afraid to post my hrs.

If you can't afford the monthly fee you're either a child without a job or a mental midget that can't even manage your budget enough to afford $15 a month.

No it's the opposite there is literally nothing to do in this game garbage once you hit max level unless the only thing you care about is the story and erp stay away from this game. I'm really disappointed that they are still releasing the same amount of content each expansion a few dungeons that become irrelevant really fast and 2 trials at launch of a new expansion is unacceptable.
And the raids are terrible the 24 man ones are meant for casuals and completely brain dead and the 8 man raid only has 4 bosses 4 FUCKING BOSSES and the only actual quality boss in those 8 man raids is the last one the other 3 always feel like dungeon tier bosses with a few more mechanics in terms of design and how much effort they put into it.

This greatsword is fucking beautiful. I REALLY like it.

>Everyone who played FFXIV seems to think it's the greatest game ever

hell fucking no it doesn't even compare to the old guard of MMOs like EQ, WoW, FFXI, GW, and AO, but its an alright themepark MMO to play it you want something smooth and modern with lots of FF fanservice, and 5.0 is probably the best the MSQ has ever been so there's that.

i've played on and off since it launched so i don't know about the new player experience. yes it would be a huge slog getting through every MSQ since 2.0, but thats what the game is. you can skip to the latest expac if you really want but there's not much point.

also i don't understand why paying a few bucks a month means you have to play it 7 days a week and nothing else. maybe if you are a child and thats all of your pocket money gone.

I wonder what he thought of the Gunbreakers.

>it seems like you have to dedicate your life to this game

You don't have to blow through the whole thing at once. The general design philosophy is literally for people to fucking quit for a couple months and come back when new content launches.

Yeah, no shit if you start watching One Piece right now it's going to take you a long time to catch up. It's not like you have to watch every episode end to end though.

These Chakrams from the 57 dungeon look good and they match the best chest piece from this expac.

Same with all the WoWbros flooding in. I feel like most of them are too much focused on the rewards instead of getting there. An Ultimate is much more fun when you spend several months every now and then trying to beat it with your friends, looking up an optimal strat to get a clear within an hour is pretty boring.

Not really, I work I don't have a lot of time to dedicate myself 24/7 to any game, I play on weekends and maybe 1 or 2 hours after work if I'm not tired.
The way the game work is that you can treat it as a single player JRPG with multiplayer aspects, so you never feel the need to grind or be there all day, right now I finished Shadowbringers MSQ and I'm about to start doing the Extreme trials, plenty of learning groups still so I don't rush anything. Then I'll cancel my sub for the month until the patch comes, sub again and play for 1, 2 months and so on.

We fusion HA'd with default player character. So now we are exactly twice as awesome.

well i can't wait for crafted forgiven weapons with glow. Maybe someday. Still fucking waiting on crafted Zurvan shit

You are correct. However, Stormblood was much easier to play and comes with a ton of QoL updates and its launch had more to offer compared to HW's launch.

To be honest it's not really a proper glam, it's just the Voeburtite aiming set glamoured over my artifact gear with the Ronkan coat of aiming on since it's the only 440 armour I've purchased so far. It just came about because I felt ridiculous doing the final bit of the MSQ in the dancer Artifact armour and changed it to the Voeburtite stuff. I dunno how the rest of the Ronkan gear looks but I'm thinking of keeping the boots and gauntlets even when I assemble the full set.

You guys weren't kidding about ShB being that much better than SB. Just finished the Hidden Temple in Rak'tika (which was quite fun) and i have to take a break but i'm absolutely loving it, the areas, dungeons, music, pretty much everything. Guess i just like fantasy stuff more than the political drama of SB. Also i was indifferent towards Vieras but that purple-haired little sister was fucking cute.

He's talking about XI, and he finished in 2012. It would've been out for 10 years at that point.

Fuck the Crystal Tower raids only dropping 1 (ONE!) piece of gear per boss

Why do people act like they have to finish the MSQ in a day or week? Do people besides zoomers not remember back when MMOs took months or more to get to max level? Whats with this recent mentality of rushing to endgame where you imagine all the best content is? People have been telling you guys for ages that XIV isn't entire about the dungeons and raids, but also the journey itself and side activities, much like older MMOs used to be.

I can understand when people say that they think certain parts of the MSQ are boring, and that the MSQ is a barrier to entry that needs some revamping to make it more streamlined or interesting. What I dont agree with is people who want to just skip it entirely and jump into raiding. Its not really that kind of game. Its supposed to be an actual hybrid of MMO and RPG as the name implies. Even the director has said on multiple occasions that he doesn't want to develop a game that players feel obligated to perpetually stay subbed to in order to keep up.

You mean the middle sister with the spear?

HW was great storywise and had good depth in terms of job mechanics (not counting WAR here, it was always baby easy), even with some controversial changes like cast times for Bard.
Stormblood is just a turd storywise and was mediocre in terms of the patch trials, Savage was fine though.
Basically HW was much more memorable in terms of what it gave, and is a ground point for what a lot of people loved in their classes.

You do need to finish the MSQ in a few days if you don't want to suffer through the extreme trials with total shitters. That doesn't mean you have to rush the story or skip dialogue though. It just means you have to play a lot. I talk to every NPC in every quest for example(which in ShB gives you a lot of additional lore information from Emet-Selch) and I still finished the story before early access ended.

Time to be a man and level up dragoon or samurai.

Can ShB even be topped? Or is 6.0 gonna be SB tier

Did that lag spike from earlier this morning go away? I was in the middle of Innocence EX when it hit and got a bit pissed so I went to do other shit for a bit.

No, they fucking don't.
FFXIV deserved to be saved because the developers were genuinely remorseful that they put out a piece of shit, and vowed to make it better.
Blizzard devs are passive aggressive dicks to their players on public stages and treat them like numbers to process in a fun computing algorithm and not people.
WoW dying will on serve to finally free them of it.

>trust
Fuck no, I did main scenario(praetorium is always 2/3rds of a level) , leveling roulette, the dungeon at my level and fates while I waited on ques

GNBs can handle large pulls just fine, they have the same tools every other tanking job does. Pop Arm's Length and pray the healer is paying attention and you're fine.

6.0 will probably be invasion and liberation of Garlemald leading up to a Zodiark Zenos vs Hydaelyn WoL Battle.

No.

Don’t you guys have phones? Lol

6.0 will be probably downtime like SB. We need to solve this Garlemald problem just to be free.

This pretty much. Haven't finished it yet (), i'm guessing i'm halfway through already but it's so hard to stop.

Imagine if the writer can make Zenos an actual good villian.

Something I was thinking about recently actually.. Garlemald would be too obvious for a new zone and my guess is all this stuff is going to be resolved by 5.5.
So remember when Baldesions Academy just blew up for no reason? What about that?

Yes, HW was the ground point, but SB was the time they refined upon that and the game found its stride. SB and late HW. Just look at Bismarck or Gordias, or cleric stance or old Berserk.

you know the game is 6 years old

Zenos is wild card. He's Kefka

I can only imagine WoW dying being a herald of renaissance for MMORPGs

Why do people autistically do hunts. You can only use the currency for whatevers in the store and the armor sucks.

>So remember when Baldesions Academy just blew up for no reason? What about that?
Eureka plotline

>doing side quests
how about no

I like Zenos, he goes so much against the other 'villains' in the story. Everyone else has agreeable motives and is just a flavor of 'you could be this person if you choose the easy way'. Zenos is just an Autist looking for a fight and I respect him being a mad lad and going for it in the most retarded way.

Well too late for that now.

I don't think MMOs are ever going to have a big resurgence since the devs going after the easy money are all in other genres that take a lot less upfront work than an MMO.

>Is there any way of leveling to 15 that isn't just grinding out Leves
to answer that question
the hunting log alone + class quests usually takes you to at least lvl 11 - 12, provided you got your +30% xp ring from the Hall of Novices

>Just got through the Amaro village and Seto
I fucking teared up, how the hell?

I hated it. But it was nice having a heal and raise.

Having just done that. No, nothing changes. Not as far as I remember the original CT's questline.

Oh, sick, that's good news. I'm still new so I've probably not encountered worse grinds but the one to get to 15 is a chore. There's not enough side quests to give you at least a little narrative juice on the way, so I've had to just pile on Levequests.
I did just join an FC though, I might try that if/when I have to level up something new, thank you for the suggestion.

Never touch levequests aside from the one you have to do to unlock guildhests. Use the Brand New Ring from the role tutorial and any other exp boosting equipment, then do hunting log and a guildhest roulette.

This. And using some ancient ascian magic might've been overkill and is less sneaky because Y'shtola can sense aether.

There are no grinds in the game unless you deliberately seek them out like a retard. You're just doing it wrong. The exp from the main story alone should carry you through the entire game as long as you do some roulettes on the side and keep your EXP equipment on.

Is command missions still the fastest way to level a DPS from 30-60?

Eh, it depends on what you count as grinding. I'm still new so there may be still stuff up ahead that's a chore, but if you're not counting sidequests as grind then I've found you can follow the MSQ and associated side quests with minimal time out in the fields bashing monsters for the sole reason of gaining XP. Which I like as this is the first JRPG where I've not fallen off for that reason.

I want to treasure Feo Ul with my dick

The one were you had to fly into a hole or something? Yes i do, pets/companions dying always gets me for some reason.

The only grindy FFs are 1-3
The story gives an asston of EXP and if you ever manage to fall behind in levels for the story (there's a couple points where this tends to happen, usually the last level of an expansion) the daily dungeon roulettes also give a fuckton of EXP.
Classes below your highest level class get a big EXP boost from killing monsters so you'll be getting at least a level per dungeon run until you're nearly at the cap.

How come I barely hear of it.

So according to you guys, it's one of the best mmos ever made and perhaps the best final fantasy game? Is it really worth buying a subscription for it?

I literally has classic box on shelf. You should be really delusional if you believe WoW was some kind of obscure oldfag game.

why do people keep drawing Feo more attractive than she is

Friendship circlet, FC buff, rested EXP, armory bonus. You can easily get 400% exp or more.

>Lineage 2
>even on a x10 server rates were still infuriating
I still don't know how i did it for years, just how bad was retail?

Kek, I put 400 hours into Earth Defense Force 4.1 and that one doesn't even has a story or interesting locations.

Not the best FF game. Perhaps the best one since X or XI but that isn't saying much since everything after was very lackluster.

This happens with any character.

free trial to level 35. Make up your own mind instead of trusting strangers on the internet

FFXIV just turned into WoW though & it's popular because console gamers & younger people skipped WoW so they think FFXIV is the best shit ever

It was glorious, if you liked grinding for hours and hours. If you don't then it's pain.

I've beaten all the numbered FF games except 11, and I've never once grinded in any of them.

People who grind in FF games are just plain retarded. Most of them can be easily beaten with the party in single digit levels after running away from every battle in the whole game.

They should make ARR free at this point since just to 35 is boring with all the skill pruning that they're doing.

>skipped WoW so they think FFXIV is the best shit ever
I played WoW since classic. FFXIV is best shit ever.

Nope. The only thing with bad drop rates are “exclusive” hairstyles and blue mage spells. But blue mage is a dumb mini game instead of a real job so who cares

You get basically enough XP from doing the main story to get to level cap. There are a few times you need to fill in the gaps in a level, but generally if you just use xp bonus food and do a bit of overworked content like fates you’ll be fine. Then once you get level cap you get a 100% xp bonus to all your other jobs. There’s generally one weapon they add per expansion that requires shitgobs of grinding but it’s generally not worth it and only there to shut up autists

I agree with you for your main class, I just meant leveling up alternate classes to 15. Because you don't get the MSQ XP for those and you can't do leveling roulette until you hit 16, that's my issue.
That said I am actually a retard, since I didn't realise there's a guildhest roulette from level 10. So yeah, you're right.

From refer a friend, you and the person you referred get one when they buy a month of gametime. It's an EXP boost up to Lv25 so it helps get the original ARR classes off the ground faster.

Or, ff14 is a good game with a good story and good developers constantly adding good content that doesn't go stale.

And wow is tired old money gouging old shit that treats their players like absolute shit.

Recruit a friend campaign.

Most younger people don’t read so that’s kind of a meh reason. I don’t think ff14 will never hit old wow levels of people because it was different back then. Also I played WoW and didn’t like it and love ff14.

That's a cute doggo

Hunting log combined with the usual EXP boosts from mob kills should get you to 15 in like 30-45 minutes if you have a list of all their locations on hand. And then it's dungeons all the way.

Unfortunately unless you have a group of friends, it's in your best interest to finish as quickly as possible so you get the best of groups for ex. In HW the attitude was if a primal released on a Tuesday, you had to the weekend to clear it or you'll be left behind.

Im talking about from a new player perspective thinking they need to rush to endgame to engage solely in it.

Like I said, you didn't play it. Clicking through a tutorial that it less than 0.5% of the game isn't playing it. It's like playing Super Mario Bros and quitting before you get to the first goomba in the first level.

Zoomers don't know the pain of older mmos where you could spend days just to get to lvl 10.

It's not bad, it's just not what you expected. The early game is your introduction to the world and its people.
You have all the time in the world to be a big dick superhero later.

Paladin or Dragoon. Which is more fun? I only like spears and european style swords so those are the only two classes I want to play.

I like reading the well written dialogue between well written characters, nothing to do with the cinematics. Though as of shadowbringers that has been an amazing pro as well.
Wow's story is one of the most miserable backwards things I ever had to experience in that game.
What made WoW good was the competitive faction interaction and very open world map usage, but they've completely tarnished that now.

It's the natural course of things, all things must come to an end sometime.

That's okay, as long as you don't voice your "opinions" in public forums. Which means you shouldn't be posting on Yea Forums. Everything you say is going to be uninformed drivel by default.

>Everything that goes against my perfect game must be trolling and pretend!
>Pasta means it doesnt address the points!

It depends on whether you want to tank or DPS.
If you want to play a tank, go for Paladin.
If you want to play a DPS, go for dragoon.
And you don't have to pick one or the other, you can level both and switch between them freely with no consequences.

>Role quests gives fuck all exp so there's no incentive at all to do them until you're 79.

They're entirely different roles. Dragoon is a melee DPS and Paladin is a tank.

haha he's still mad

Take that back

Dragoon.
You could try Dark Knight eventually, unless a Greatsword isn't european styled anymore.

When do we get to headpat Alisaie?

Oh right...filler upon filler

You can go back and beat ff11 now. it has an ending, and it's beautiful. it's a pretty short grind to get stuff needed to progress nowadays too, lots of qol improvements, can probably beat it and all its xpacs in a couple months of casual play without too much help from other players. it's well worth it as a FF game.

you can always go back to farming world quests and grind reputation

still going. neverwinter isn't even considered a D&D game by players

Imagine being this booty bothered by fetch quests in an MMO.

Just tanked for the first time in a dungeon and it was chaotic but fun. why do sometimes enemies aggro the party instead of me? i was using provoke all the time, im guessing i didnt use my AoE to get the aggro? i also had the aggro ability ON, i just want the enemy's attention at all times

wat? its been english for years..

Some shitter healer probably used a regen before the pull

Side quests are great now.

Use the AoE ability, provoke is a last resort type deal. You should just be using your damage abilities with the tank stance on and that'll be enough.

Blushing elf ears are the best.

The most fundamental concept FFXIV cannot grasp from MMOs is the leveling progression. It focuses on making it easy to get to endgame then provides an incredibly meager endgame experience.

MMOs are supposed to have leveling be the main part of the progression.

Does anyone have the MCH new opener?

Currently at 65 and gnb just feels so weird. How the skills interact with each other feels so disjointed. Why is the shield locked behind the single target combo when its so much nicer to have during big pulls, why cant I unload my erda in some aoe skill? It might come together later on but so far its kinda awful in dungeons.

Do I start earning the new currency upon hitting level 80 with a job or do I also need to finish ShB MSQ?

Ok thanks, also when should i use shield lob? and during boss fights and mob fights should i avoid AoE's or simply stay put?

Alisaie is in Amh Araeng where all the sick people are at, Y'shtola is in the Nights Blessed place right next to Runar.

this levelling up is boring in this game

The whole reason Nidhogg woke up and sounded the Dragonsong for Midgardsormr to help is because he sensed Thordan and was shitting himself

Shield Lob to start a pull.
Avoid AoEs without moving a drastic amount, you should try to passively avoid as much damage as you can but also not make everyone run around like crazy.

One of the main things about XIV is that you can level all jobs on one character tho. I get what you are saying and the leveling one job isn't that hard, but you have many jobs to level all together.

>Y'shtola is in the Nights Blessed place right next to Runar.

The shield's actually pretty piddly in practice and only protects you from one or two auto-attacks, you're better off with tanking cooldowns for defensive value.
>why cant I unload my erda in some aoe skill?
You do get Fated Circle later on, I'm not sure why you get an AoE cartridge-spender so late.

this is the demographic of this pathetic game

It's something you do whenever you feel like it. Sure it could take a couple hundred hours to get caught up, but it's not like you do that all at once. I did it bit by bit, with a break every few months, over a period of 2 or 3 years.

what chest brother

>oh boy I wonder what the new BLM opener looks like
>double-sharpcast opener
>has you precast sharpcast then sit around for 12 seconds before you can start so sharpcast is off cooldown mid-rotation

provoke only puts you at #1 in enmity, as in it puts you barely one "enmity point" ahead of the previous number one guy, so you shouldn't pull with it, and if you use it to take a mob back from another player, always follow it up with another attack on the mob to build your enmity
aside from that, always use your AOE ability (Total Eclipse for paladin, Overpower for Warrior) a couple times on packs of mobs, use your ranged enmity attack (shield lob or tomahawk) to pull bosses and individual adds
if you're a paladin, don't hesitate to abuse your stun move on all the mobs too, it'll help your health remain stable in the low level dungeons and your healers will be able to DPS more thanks to that

y'shtola is with Rumar in slitherbough
Alisae is in Ahm Areang with those people who had the sin eater disease.
They all should be in the area where we meet them.

I see you aren't updated on the strongest opener bro. Go look it up.

Stop taking pictures of MY WIFE, Alisaie!

it seems they've lost your character, you have to reroll now

Except for the part where Urianger isn't in his home in Il Mheg and Exarch completely skips him when talking about Scion whereabouts.

New opener? I use old sharp one.

seethe.

No B4 opener

I'm still here. Yea Forums addiction

WHM is the canon ShB job.

>What are other characters on other servers
>"waaah he don't like my shit game! Dx"

I still can log onto the character without issues, but it's still on the FRigger data center, where I wanted to move away from. I guess it just didn't work for some reason.

The basic reason for DRK being the posterboy is that darkness is the "element" it uses I guess, mainly for fighting Lightwardens, even though they draw their power from their emotions.

it no longer does that, it gives you a shitload of aggro now alongside putting you on top

Dark Knight

No b4 is as simple as it gets brainlet

Terrible bait. Actually god awful.
My nan wouldn't fall for this.

>Warrior of Darkness
>contain so much light that Y'shtola thinks you're a sin eater

DRK is about using the dark aspect for good and introducing darkness wouldn't solve the First's actual problem

wait what free transfer? this might be my chance to escape the frogs

It's simple, but it ignores a key part of a BLM toolkit. I'm not doing it because I think it's difficult, I refuse to do it because it feels inherently wrong.

Is FFLogs the worst thing to have happened to this game?

there's no poster 00003 in the first example though

Pepsiman.

>introducing darkness wouldn't solve the First's actual problem
That's literally exactly what it did. Did you miss the part with Urianger explaining that Darkness is the element of activity?

Holy shit this is the most smoothbrain opinion I've seen on HW in a long time

Attached: FFXIV_Lahabrea_Death.png (1776x1000, 1.12M)

Only if you exclusively talk with raiders. Their whole worth stems from their log numbers.

It was Urianger who vanished and not the Exarch.

No, dipshit, introducing the dark aspect wouldn't do anything to solve an overabundance of the light aspect.

the disaster that was 1.0 that almost bankrupt square enix

Casual Elitism is the worst thing to happen to every MMO.

Good luck Reine poster

I just got into the game, anyone got any advice? I started out as a Gladiator and want to be a Gunbreaker when i get high enough in level, whats a good DPS?

>changing the Umbral to Astral doesn't change anything

Not him but what does NoB4 even line up with? I'm not saying it's wrong, I just can't think of anything that would line up with going into AF 1 GCD earlier.

Start up a relic

Dont rush MSQ. Base game is kinda dull storywise but has nice other activities to make the visit still pretty enjoyable. Only playing the story will burn you out.

Gear up your level 70 jobs.

lmao here come the biteless virgin insults straight out of the average 13 year old's playbook, this is just sad

Is Light really that much better than Chaos?
As I understand it, you're trading frogs for krauts.

50, 60, and 70 tomestone gear for leveling? Relic weapons.
Better question is what do I even use GC seals for. I've been capped at 90k for weeks and am already full on ventures and cordials.

Start an autistic relic grind

Some GC mats still sell for a fair bit

Can't go wrong with Black Mage since the director plays it
Also be sure to do the Alliance Raids at 50, 60 and 70. They're not mandatory but they're all huge lore dumps and the Crystal Tower is especially relevant for Shadowbringers.

Krauts are infinitely better than frogs in this game

Ventures, too.

Well, I am a German myself, so there's that.

Krauts aren't bad at the game, just annoying. Frenchies can't play the game to save their life

You can to some degree try to reason with krauts. Same is impossible with frogs.

DRG in HW is the most "canon" a class has ever been. It gets a lot of special dialogue, plus the reenactment of the trailer with your character.

SMN is the one that has most to do with the main plot in general though. Always has been, thanks to being tied to the primals, the Ascians, the Allagans, Bahamut, basically all the big main plot points. The trainer is also Y'Shtola's sister who also appears in the main story, and other main story characters appear in the ShB SMN quest.

Buy Glamour Prisms and sell the excess

Light is guaranteed to be better than Chaos for casual play, but the biggest raiding communities are on Chaos.

And overall SMN's job quests are pretty good
The 60-70 stuff fills in a lot of lore on Azys La related shit

whats an easy class? i really dont wanna have to deal with big brain rotations and thousand buttons like BLM

Wait, I am german and started the game recently on chaos. Am I fucked?

The hard part about BLM is knowing where to stand so you won't have to move for the next 30 seconds

Attached: 1562971977240.png (440x440, 273K)

Monk. Literally 6 buttons, 3 at a time.

SAM, RDM, DNC for DPS
WHM for Healer
WAR for Tank

The only big brain thing about BLM is learning how to perform your rotation without an encounter fucking it up for you. RDM is pretty simple.

Big signal for the Amaurot stuff too since that summoning node can't determine your aetheric capacity

BLM specifically has a simple rotation because most of the difficulty comes from handling mechanics on it.

That's the daily bonus you fucking moron. Adventurer in Need is for every run.

what about PLD?

The daily bonus is actually a waste of time since materia is a joke to get.

2nd hardest tank to play right, not as braindead as people think it is

Are the servers unfucked yet?

Just make healer mounts already.

Someone answer please

They said if they did that, DPS will probably want a mount too. Better not.

PLD isn't too complicated as long if you ignore your teammates

Transfer to Twintania on Light is free

who's the 1st, DRK?
