Since you posted the first dungeon in FF14 I am going to have to assume your post is the usual disingenious retarded cherrypicking bait that passes for "arguments" on Yea Forums.

I don't even have to watch the videos. Kill yourself.

Only do the main story and quests with a + (those unlock shit)
All the others aren't worth doing

Should have picked up more classes/jobs. You can easily have a level 50 in each role by the time you finish base ARR.

>Do so much damage on an unconventional dps that the Dancer partners up with you.

gonna buy a lvl boost lads, thing is.. DRG or BLM? i like melee more but at the same i want to be top dps, wat do

If a Dancer partners with a Tank/Healer I just assume they queued together and resent all other players.

What class outputs the most DPS in AOE spam?
I need something to cut down the amount of time I'm spent dealing with Alisae's bullshit while grinding her Trust.

Lmao imagine being this retarded to believe Classic will accomplish anything but show how bad vanilla was and 8.2 is going to show the dev's still have no idea what the fuck their doing with their game. WoW is dying a slow and painful death

Pick SAM then you ape.

AOE? Gotta be BLM and SMN right?

Dungeons and dragons is a franchise heavily entrenched in dungeon delving, final fantasy is not

Prolly stupid couple or just plain stupid.

Just because you work for a company doesnt mean you have to suck that companies cock and buy all their products exclusively

...

I just noticed that on DNC you have to manually start your auto attack on trash because your main aoes don't have a target. I've been doing whole pulls without AA damage

The best way to level in ARR is to pick up a good chunk of the other jobs as soon as you get them (which is early), do your Hunting log/etc to get them all around the same level after an hour or two, and then alternate as you start to overlevel in one. It's so pitifully easy to reach ~15 or so that as long as you're using your primary DPS for MSQ, getting tank or healer to catch up is quick as hell.

RDM.

excuse me sir but dont you have some azerite to farm?

>Buying a level boost when leveling is easier than ever.
Don't be stupid.

Classic will fail, blizzard killed it with their absurd belief that overpopulation in the first few days would hurt subscriber counts.

already at 80, can't deal with leveling another job

i dont know what that is

Kill yourself, don't support cash shop cancer.

It's quite common, I know there's this GW2 writer or whatever who keeps posting pictures of their lesbian adventures in FF14. MMOs steal features from each other all the time, so it's not out of the ordinary that they would play different games to understand the features.

I just started playing the game 2 weeks ago and my friend keeps telling me to take off that leaf, why does he hate the leaf so much? I don't want to get rid of it because it irritates him so much

Reminder that Lazy Peon willingly payed to skip HW and payed to boost an SCH to 60 in preparation for Shadowbringers then stated that the quest/leveling design was made to force you to buy skip potions.

You're there for TA.

No thanks Blizzard employees, don't want him

i mostly play solo too. because of the nature of FFXIV and how MSQ's are the majority of content and have to be done solo it really does feel like a single player game with multiplayer elements.

I thought lazypeon just straight up hated the game.

Why not play another game in the same genre to see a different approach?
I read a great article years ago from a WoW raid designer talking about XIV raids and how each company handled boss fights.
The only people pushing WoW vs XIV are the deranged fans of each game. The developers have openly admitted multiple times to enjoy the others game.

It's a meme because the presets aren't pretty and most players are fucking awful at customization. Also futafags.

yeah so many at 50 and they don't give good xp

I think it's the gladiator that's being pointed out. It's a weird post.

I've never used Party Finder at all.

He does, hates the combat, hates the classes, hates the story, hates the quests. But everyone kept telling him it'd get better at endgame so skipped portions to rush to it and then was still not satisfied.

>triplecasting foul
Waste of a triplecast.

Well it's designed to make you level between parts of the MSQ, but you don't have to buy a boost for that, you just kind of need the patience to do. It's tedious, but it's an MMO.

who even is lazypeon and why do people care?

>private twitter
>advertises your employment
>people can publicly see you saying you are playing on your competitor
A private twitter is actually private with no discernible info. So long as their profile is viewable and is publicly saying they are a an employee at blizzard then they are treated as a representative of their company. It's how it works in today's day an age.

To be honest, I blame the people who kept egging him on telling him it gets better even though this clearly isn't the game for him.
That doesn't mean that I don't also think he's a retard.

Based. I've leveled BLM to 51, tried out SAM for a second but honestly it's just not as fun.

He does, he's just a contrary faggot who made that clickbait video the day before Shadowbringers came out for easy clicks, and then got so btfo by dislikes and comments that he deleted the video claiming he was receiving death threats. Unfortunately, no one actually sent him death threats

Not to mention that ARR dialogue. I beg new ppl coming, turn on Japanese VA for ARR.

If anything, them not changing much made me confident that itd still be great if not better when released. Unlike AST...

Some eceleb that isn't worth caring about.

Does MMO reviews, usually they're kind of shit and uninformed and he's ADD ridden and doesn't try to understand the mechanics. Also really hates P2W but played Black Desert and invested some cash into it to keep up for PvP before then saying few months later that the game sucked. But he ruffled a lot of feathers with a FF14 video and the FF14 community caught on and had a hissy fit at his usual shit opinions.

The story and lore are pretty bad at times, and the cut-scene cinematography is really trash.

Private as in its not their company twitter, they are not obligated to solely post about WoW, they can 100% for sure post that they play FF over WoW with no repercussions because being fired for that specifically can be cause for wrongful termination lawsuits

>The FF14 community had a hissy fit
Seems to happen a lot.

What's supposed to be fun about WHM when it's even more mindless than SCH?

A MMO reviewer who made a bad XIV video, deleted it due backlash and massive downvotes, but blamed "death threats" from the XIV community for it.

DRG is unironically the best overall DPS
BLM will still beat it in raw numbers on low-movement fights, but it manages to surpass everything else AND still bring two potent utility spells

God I hope classic takes players away, that way I won't have to deal with login queues for at least as long as it stays relatively active

The lore of the world is pretty interesting but the story is a case of high highs and really fucking low lows. And I also agree that the cinematography is dry but I feel that they've been improving a lot lately.

So long as you state on your profile you are an employee of a company you represent them at all times. if their profiles didn't list their employment you would have a point

I am pretty sure actively advertising for your competitor is grounds enough for termination. Fuck it's america and you can be fired for anything other than race, sex and/or sexual orientation.

Femroe and any elezen are basically meme choices because the NPCs with that race/gender combo will always be more attractive than player presets, but I don't think that's the point of the image

>I am pretty sure actively advertising for your competitor is grounds enough for termination
It would be, if that was what they were doing, but all they're doing is getting someone to play FFXiV with them, thats not advertising, and absolutely would be grounds for wrongful termination if they ever got fired
as for the walmart thing, it would be more like talking to a friend in the store and telling them how dope this other shop was and how they should check it out, which again, is not a fire able offence

Atleast they are always blonde with blue eyes

But he's right you retard. If you have an account publically declaring where you work, you are whether you want to or not, representing them. That usually doesn't mean you are forced to shill for that company at all times but it can be part of the contract depending on your job. Usually this manifests in them requiring you to just be nice to customers and not something silly like forcing you to not tweet about any game that isn't Blizzard but you've gotta be some sort of mongoloid to not understand how this works.

Basically.
They didn't expect the game to survive ARR, so, they just kinda said "Alright fuck it" and backtracked a bit.

That garbage fire got 8.0? I guess people were still enamored with Legion.

I keep seeing WHM in dungeons and I'm really tempted to start it. But I have a level 43 AST and I want my Garo titles before 5.1 so I should probably just grind that to 60 first.

whats your go to method for grinding out levels with SHB?

Yes, that's the part and Mid follows you and judges you.

Wait, that's actually what FFXIV looks like?

Holy shit, no wonder nobody posts screenshots in these threads. xD

a lot of the things that happened in Uldah didnt get backtracked, but you have to remember that the main reason those things happened naratively is because they needed a reason for why the WoL would journey to a new strange land as an outcast hunted by their own people.

The Sultana ACTUALLY dying would have caused a lot more problems than you could possibly imagine. It was good enough that everyone thought you killed her

Your role is fixing up other people's mistakes and still get blamed for others fucking up.

Ilberd no longer being under the sultanate's control is the direct plot point that's relevant to you, the rest of it is mostly "lol Shtola fucked up and crippled Thancred/effectively killed Minfilia" but you can't really blame her for it

Thanks. I hope she had fun

Healing can make one cranky desu. You become extra aware of everyone's mistakes and might end up judging people harshly for it. I find learning to use rescue actually helps in countering this, until you rescue someone out of a mechanic only for them to run back in in time to get one-shot.
As for the comic itself, WHM actually does work by expending lilies on healing skills in order to get their blood lily for a big dick damage skill.

It's Blizzard. Their games cannot score below 8/10 or else they pull their website advertising which IGN and other places need to survive.

Do you still have to level every single crafter? Or can I just level one? Out of content until the raid drops, and I've never tried crafting.

Isn't he the retard who bough story skip and then cried about not understanding the story?

Healer mains outside of MMOs: "I am the alpha and the omega. All live and die by my hand. Grovel for your insolence and you may receive mercy."

Healers in-duty: "P-please use a cooldown... I can't keep up...!"

Literally a job for bottoms.

If you like XIV you probably think Yoshi is pouring his heart and soul into the game and it reflects in what you are enjoying about it.
If you dislike XIV you probably think it's just a gimmick to try and curry favor for the developers and that they are all lazy bastards for not making the game how you wish it could be.

After XIV's success they'll undoubtedly make another MMO. I just shudder to think what might happen if they pull another 1.0. Either way, at the earliest it would be XVII since we have at least 4-6 more years left of expac cycles.

i love XIV and DD and the XIV dungeons dont get much better in terms of complexity. only the bosses and spectacle do

BLM

Your aoe nuke rotation melts trash mobs, coupled with your highest single-target DPS. Unless if the tank is single-pulling for whatever reason, dungeons shouldn't be longer than 15 minutes with a competent BLM.

I've pretty much said bye-bye to ever getting 6 during single target since I have to get off at least one of each Ricochet and Gauss Round.

Good lord they need to do something about Hypercharge clipping, it's ridiculous.

I've played WoW since very late vanilla/just before TBC launched. On and off for 14 years - mostly on.
I fucking dropped this shit so fast a month into BfA. The state the game is in is insulting. I fucking hate nu-WoW and paying a sub for this pile of shit is the last thing I'm going to do. I've started playing FFXIV somewhere around november.

Looking at his interviews, I think he genuinely understands what the market is looking for in MMOs and intends to keep XIV afloat no matter what. But given that, on top of how fantastic 2/3 of the expacs were, I'd say he at least has some idea what he's doing.
Would they base the anniversary off of 1.0 launch or 2.0 launch?

There's a free trial up to level 35.

Free trial then thank the gods you don't have to waste money to try this abortion of an mmo

lets not forget about how retarded the playerbase is. branching dungeons would just introduce too many problems

Still have all of my freebie fantasias. I kind of want to use them just to be rid of them, but there's nothing about my character that I want to change.

I'm not a perfect player by any means, but our BLM is just bad. Hell, even the SMN we have pulls ahead of him at times. It makes literally no sense to dance a BLM just because he's the best dps on paper when the actual player is horrible. That has nothing to do with being delusional.

So after seeing all the backlash Lazy Peon got on his FF vid, and people pointing out why the game was great, I decided to give it a try. I made my character, which was probably the most fun I had during my short time. Now I understood a few things going into this: the combat early levels is slow and boring, the story is fantastic but you have to like reading (I do, my room has a mini library in it of fantasy novels), and that the game really picks up in the heavenward expansion at level 50.

I start the game, and I'm led in the wagon to the forest town which is littered with like 15 quests or something. MY GOD THE BOREDOM. Every single one is a fetch quest with less inspired dialogue than stuff I wrote in middle school. It realistically didn't take that long to do the 10ish fetch quests but it felt like an eternity. I then go to do the few combat quests outside the town to go kill squirrels and shrooms. To be honest, I don't know if I hated them more. I knew the GC was supposed to be slow, but I wasn't prepared for this. It felt like time had slowed around me, as I waited an eternity to 3 hit the basic mobs. I very shortly uninstalled.

Yes I understand the story gets good later on around level 50 in heavens ward, but after the 45 minute slog I went through, I was only level 3 knowing it would be a long road to reach heavens ward. At that point, nothing resembling a "story" had yet emerged, and while it was sure to come soon, I couldn't care. I also know the combat improves later on, but how many hours of boredom should I go through to get to those higher levels. I'd invested nothing but time, and all I have left to ask is one question. Why would invest all this time to get to the "good parts" when I could just play a singleplayer game, or read a book? As for mmo aspects, that seems an eternity away in shadowbringers to do things like raids with players. From what I understand, the game might as well be singleplayer till that point.

>Over-complicated crafting which is ultimately just as meaningless as WoW's because it only exists to make catch-up gear and consumables

Crafting in this game is really just a relic from 1.0
In 1.0, the game was entirely a player-driven economy. Stuff didn't drop from quests, or any of that shit. It had to be crafted.

People complained, and faggots whined about how hard it was for them to solo everything. So, they caved and made crafting completely useless.

It takes a while for it to get going. I honestly think you should play a different game because it doesn't sound like you'd enjoy this one very much.

>crafting
>useless
just wait til savage drops and crafters are making millions from raiders buying all the gear food and pots

is this your first time playing a MMO? I can't recall 1 MMO that's doesn't have a boring fetch quest inducing start.

A tad useless, but shits fun. Plus, you can only get the gear from the story once so every other gear type has to be bought, made, or dropped from a dungeon. It also makes glamour, housing shit, and a shitton of money that you can then use to do... stuff?

Stopped reading there. I think you may have ADHD, I'm sure there's a COD for you there somewhere to play.

Hard to judge by Ex Primals since they are both easy and boring. Overall I'm mostly disappointed. The Afflatus spells address the downtime problem while moving, but as GCDs they kinda suck when you can solve all/most of your problems with your and your co-healer's oGCDs. So I usually end up spamming 3x Solace during movement to build up blood lily, not because I need the (free) heals. I like Temperance but still, it's just a slightly better Divine Veil.

I know this guy is trying to bait and all, but, in the end, i agree to the point he's trying to make, since the biggest problem about XIV is that it's not an good MMORPG experience and the only worthwhile content doing is the endgame (savage and maybe ultimate if you find a group of autistic enough people to do it) content. Might as well be an lobby game at this point desu.

I don't know what it is about this game. I've tried really hard to get into it but everytime it bores me to death.

For some reason it just doesn't click with me. Maybe it's the combat? Theres also no class diversity. Every player runs the same meta builds and can use the same skills. classes doesn't matter a lot in FFXIV.

The leveling experience feels so slow and boring. It's almost like a single player game and not a MMO. Even WoW did it much better.

It's weird cause on paper this game has all that I want. Achievements, great for my completionist needs, acceptable gear treadmill, focus on dungeons and raids, freedom to explore and do other things etc... But I just can't get into it for some reason.

I've been leveling it to 60 the past couple days and the amount of fun you can have with it largely depends on how smart your party is. If the tank does baby pulls or other dps doesn't spread damage you kind of end up wanting to kill yourself.

Is this game worth trying if I've never played a Final Fantasy game? The only MMOs I've played past the first few levels were Western ones.

Pros:

Good Story - this one is obviously subjective however I find it acceptable for an MMORPG

Raid Bosses - they are pretty cool/unique (usually) and offer a really nice challenge

Cons:

Battle System - in most cases melee jobs are 2x 3 button rotations (+or - a button here or there) one rotation being used before the other because it buffs your attack or debuffs target, with a few OGCDs sprinkled in the mix. No customization at all, and you are HEAVILY punished for playing outside of the rotation.

Pre-Raid content - it is mind-numbingly easy, this one is obvious and i think every would agree unless you are inept or suffer from brain damage.

Trusts - Did we really need these? isnt this an MMORPG? why the fuck not just make the whole game singleplayer?

Quests - Outdated Quest design, same old thing we experienced back in 2004 (WoW release date) Dont say they cant improve, yes they fucking can.

No punishment for failure - Teleported back to start of dungeon / Can teleport instantly back to where you were in world / Repairing is extremely cheap and really its more of a nuisance traveling to a mender then something you even have to consider financially.

Customization - or lackthereof... Likely a result of them trying to "balance" the game. You cant customize your character at all except for cosmetically, every job plays the same no matter who is playing it, the only difference is their "Skill" moving the character out of range of AoE abilities. Im not asking for a POE sphere grid people... just some kind of meaningful customization that lets me feel like i'm modifying MY CHARACTER and not just playing another PLD or BLM.

Floaty Animations - Example: Your character slides across the ground while an animation is executed making it look really odd and "floaty", it feels REALLY bad to me for some reason.

The world feels empty and lifeless/fake - Lack of mob density and threat, floaty and unrealistic animations i feel are the culprit.

It's baby sitting.

The story is self contained, there are a lot of references, easter eggs, and fan service for FF games of the past, but you can definitely enjoy it on it's own.

How does this make you feel?

There will never be an MMO that maintains high end graphics. The turn around for content would be disgusting and people would quit rather than cling on to the extra graphics. Content is what keeps MMO's churning not top tier graphics. Black Desert for example looks like shit now, it was "shit tier" when it was released just because the time to release was too long that graphics quality rapidly out paced it.

Is there a way I can preview job af gear without having them in game or does someone have to link it in chat?

AST is literally unplayable, SCH is playable but really really boring and kind of clunky right now.

FFXIV IS A SAFER WOW! Especially after the fiasco that was 1.0 and pulling shit together to push out 2.0. This is NOT a bad thing, however.

I can recommend friends to play FFXIV, especially if they're the super normie types to not play games much, if at all. The game is much easier on the eyes and ears, although it's not toaster friendly. Fucking clothing and armor designs don't look like shitty skinned-on textures. Story isn't dog shit outside of mainstory 2.0 which wants to make people quit.

End-game content is crap, although this was done on purpose so people just resub during every patch, or just play off an on rather then something like a 2nd job.

Jobs are some of the most simplified versions of classes and mmorpg gameplay there is. If you played one of the tanks, you can easily take up one of the other tanks wise with a very small learning curve. Once again, this isn't necessarily a bad thing because its very pick-up and play for super normies, especially if they use a controller.

Attached: 1484197008777.jpg (721x967, 64K)

Best improvements (IMO) they could make to the game , balance be damned to hell: Lower GCD to 1 or 1.5, make it more like WoW and less "tactical" (LOL), it is just residue from 1.0, this isn't unique its just annoying and not fun. This isn't FFXI where you auto-attack every 3-5 seconds so just stop trying to defend this choice square....

Remove the combo shit, or make it less prevalent and more specialized let people use their cool skills as they see fit dammit!

Add WAY MORE customization to abilities, let people customize their style of play

Reduce / remove the stupid floor notifications for enemy abilites, this alone would make people pay attention more to the mob and not to the neon orange cone or circle on the floor, i know that SHB seems to have toned down on that however i think they should take it a step further and remove most of that shit from even lower dungeon bosses, I know that straight up removal would make some fights neigh impossible, so probably not a good idea to completely remove them.

Because you can be any job on one character in this game so all loot is potentially interesting to any player.

Who cares, good for them

The beginning of the ARR story and 2.0 are very slow to start. They do learn from these mistake and the storytelling does get progressively better. Stick with it.

Classes are also lobotomized and boring below 70, I'd say even at 70. Be patient if you do start.

to be fair the first xiv dungeon is a lot better than most of the ones after

I finally finished the mainstory and holy shit I didn't expect these levels of ludo. I'm glad everyone was right and my already high expectations were surpassed.

Also, is the WoL/D now a confirmed Ascian or what?

Yes. Everyone with the echo is part of a fragmented Ascian. Furthermore the WoL may be the 14th council member who stepped down and spearheaded the faction who created Hydaelyn.

Why'd they get laid off?

It is very hard to make convincing bait these days. The best thing to do is to pluck from the source. If I pretend to be room temperature IQ, I'm sure I'll fuck up somewhere and make it obvious its bait. But if I post a retard's sincere thoughts then its impossible to tell that its bait because its technically not.

It's like that for every class, missing a major mechanic until late in the leveling process.

So the Garleans want the calamities to make everyone a whole being again. How would that even work between shards? If person A and person B had kid C on the First but person A fucked person D on the Third instead and had kid E, do kid E and C have the same soul? What if person A dies a virgin on the Second?

I don't ERP but I think that's cool. Consenting players should be able to say whatever degenerate shit they want in private messages.

I honestly don't understand the whole Warrior of Darkness thing. Yes you bring back the night sky and all but the WoL just keeps sucking up light and never once becomes actually "dark" or something. You're still very much Hydaelyns fuccboi and it makes me think they really just wanted that Shadowbringers title to work and use it for marketing reasons.

>try SMN
>"huh this doesn't look so bad"
>it is

Could they really not have combined egi assault 1, 2, and enkindle into one button?

you are supposed to warm the group up for such pulls in pugs. pull a bit more and see how they handle it, not just straight 4-5 packs of monsters

You're fulfilling a prophecy from the First. That's where the title Warrior of Darkness comes from.

Not every soul is part of an Ascian. Once the rejoining fully happens, only Ascians (and other civilizations of the original world) will return but the lifestream would theoretically remain the same, meaning those souls could eventually become part of the new world themselves. Emet's plan is incalcuably long in the making, which of course is why he doesn't think it's murder when he kills people.

its not fucking fair ninbros
when are they going to remove trick attack and let nin reach their true potential

yea, except FFXIV still has all its primary content in dungeons, so thats no excuse.

He'll be more like a plot device or a force of nature. Don't look to him as a compelling villain, but as something that will create interesting scenarios for other characters.

>strip away all nuance and detail from a character
>hurr durr generic
You're not as smart as you think you are.

It's figurative you fucking retard

imagine putting actual, good arguments against xiv in a meme meant to shit on people that don't like xiv

I predict by next year this game will be on Xbox because Microsoft scrambles to change their crossplay rules after seeing that Shadowbringers is a massive success and they want a piece of that pie.

blm has shit tier aoe in dungeons
its incredibly high potency, but it has ramp up time and flare takes forever to cast without triple/swiftcast. It's probably the best in ideal situations, but you're never going to get that.

best aoe in dungeon is DRG if your tank isnt a moron and you don't miss mobs because of positioning.
MCH also has crazy good AOE, but flamethrower is a bit wonky.

Wouldn't merging all shards cause so much death on the source there wouldn't be much left to offer to Zodiark?

>story skipper

>to this riddle, all souls are tied
Wrong fuccboi. All souls are reincarnated from the Ancients. They never refrered to themselves as Ascians and that seems to be a name that the surviving council members made up for themselves. But its pretty clear from what Emet-Selch says that all souls were sundered into 14 and those souls are reborn over and over again on the various shards.

This nigga just spamming cure on the dps

Doubtful, they had their chance and are even now clinging to the idea of self quarantine for an xbox version, that bridge may have been totally burned

The sad thing is that a lot of the homogenization might have never occurred if they had slightly longer to make ARR. There were a lot of systems in ARR that were either not implemented, or not implemented in anything other than fluff because it was obvious how rushed they were to get the product out on time. There was a bit of stat customization in ARR, but it wasn't in depth, and then later taken out. There was also elemental synergies planned, but they were never implemented, and then taken out. Original Coil had the most interesting boss arenas (the first coil boss had multiple levels of elevation for example), but they never expanded on it and went with a homogenized approach afterwards to circular boss rooms always.
Class complexity has been intentionally dumbed down because people couldn't handle classes like Heavenwards DRG and Stormblood SAM (95% of players didn't play SAM right so they removed stabbing).

Is it impossible to down Titania EX for the first time in DF ?

if pso2 happened on xbox, anything is possible.

God damn. I could forgive the shitty card changes but AST fucking heals like garbage now too. Running a 4man on SCH or WHM and keeping a tank up on big pulls is infinitely easier. What the fuck were they thinking? Who is going to play this job aside from masochists?

>did they seriously make a copy of [thing] from [other FF game] and slap it in the game?
That's XIV in a nutshell, yes.

user it takes literally one gcd to ramp because you have permanant UI3, and even if you didn't you have coldcast flare into freeze now.

it's an unintended (or possibly intended) side effect of making the MSQ mandatory and extremely long, 3 expansions in, buying a boost never felt so enticing, you're unironically going to spend more time doing the MSQ than you are doing anything at endgame, it's no wonder people immediately think they made it so long and tedious on purpose when they see skip potions in the shop.

DF? If you're on a JP datacenter it's possible. Anywhere else you're better off in PF.

Yeah like how wow copied the relic quest.

There's nothing passive aggressive about that last panel.
None of the other panels have anything remotely resembling aggression.

Didn't they plan on trimming the fat or was that just a rumor?

PSO2 happened because Microsoft is providing the servers. MS wanted its own servers for FFXIV and requires Gold for MMOs so Square told them to fuck off.

this is a pretty common saying in some parts of england, "doing your nut in" means doing your head in, going mental.

yeah but /r/MMORPG is never happy

inconsistent, erp violates teh tos and even yoshi himself said so when that rock paper shotgun faggot blabbed to him about that stupid kotaku article from years ago about erp whorehouses

Is PLD still mind numbingly boring at lv80? I love the skills like Clemency, but 2.0-4.0 I've just hated the play style. Should I give it another chance?

they're still a bunch of cucks btw lol

>He thinks that originality is the most important measure of quality and not execution
You probably think Shakespeare was remembered for his originality, don't you?

EX trial farm has been a sad joke on Chaos. Farm groups with grey parsing DPS and people who can't even avoid the most basic mechanic and I've gotten so fed up.

>Crystal is ERPers and retards who know they're not hardcore raiders
The statistics dont lie they suck shit more than any other datacenter.

PvP mounts will always be the most exclusive.

Yoshida said that they are willing to make an Xbox port at any moment as long as Microsoft changes two of their crossplay rules. So the bridges aren't burned yet, the ball is in Microsoft's court and it's up to them to take the shot.

>Primal is vg, /retardera, and Brazilians
No matter how much you try to force this meme on primal, it is blatantly untrue you faggot aethercuck.

Interesting, thanks for replying.

It's not possible unless Microsoft changes their rules, that's the point. Are you incapable of understanding basic English, my man?

t. grey parser

Not that user above, so even the 440+ restricted PF's are failing? Guess I'm glad I haven't missed out from being unable to join them. People seem completely unable to handle the second part of the add phase on Chaos for whatever reason even tho there's literally nothing difficult about it.

Are the servers unfucked yet?

I thought the XIVG FCs were on balmung and mateus. Is this Aethercuck propaganda or did they really hop ship within the past couple expansions?

You get Firion's outfit for yourself and your chocobo, the battle theme is in there, and wasn't there a couple quests with the Wild Rose Rebellion? I remember using wild rose as a passcode for something. They also called back to it in Shadowbringers as a joke response.

he was a EQfag. not like there's a difference

More or less the same, except now Holy Spirit becomes instant-cast (fucking finally) and has an AoE equivalent + finisher, you get a gap closer, and a fellcleave-esque skill which just essentially replaces one regular rotation of Royal Authority combo.

proves that they are fucking drones who just like the game because it was made in japan

Lack of a new healer ontop of showing the entire world how they actually can't balance healers had made there being less healers around. It's stabilized a little bit now two weeks after EA but I still get healer in need bonus in most roulettes. Great for my materia stocks.

>"why can't you guys take criticism?"

This was from a recent interview. Before then crossplay wasn't a thing between PS4 and Xbox One but now it is. Only thing stopping it is 2 rules that only affect MMOs and not FPS/Racing games. This could easily change like how Xbox constantly changes their own rules for their online services like XBL.

PotD / HoH have proven to me once and for all that the majority of the community really is retarded. Not being able to learn mechanics and shit in trials is one thing but the lack of lthe ability to thinkg logically in those dungeons is mindblowing.

A cool new tank being added, on top of healers being whiny babies, means that there is a bit of a healer shortage, but it'll even out as the DPS cucks succumb to their "tankxiety" and go back to whatever braindead job they played before

Crystal was a recently added data center that combined the most overpopulated server with the most underpopulated servers. And the people on the overpopulated server only play to RP

A once-"advanced" healing class that they kneecapped more and more each expansion to the point that in Shadowbringers it's on par with WHM/AST for ease-of-play.

It used to be challenging with a diverse DPS kit and a manually controlled fairy.

You were a shitty arcanist with heal ogcds, now you're a shittier arcanist with more heal ogcds.

Go play something else if you don't like the job.

It will happen. Microsoft is so desperate for Japanese games on their platform that they funded PSO2's localization and are putting it on Xbox after everyone said the game will never come out in the west. Plus if Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy 11 happened on Xbox, I don't see why FFXIV won't happen in the future.

huh? you have to manually control your fairy now all of its abilities are just ogcds

Criticism isnt my problem there are legitimate complaints to the game such as MSQ locking you out of everything but it isnt changing anytime soon so get over it and just do it or fuck off and dont play.

Miss your cards, ASTkek?

lol

>It used to be challenging
Was never true. It did take more than 1 brain cell to understand how it works and why it's the most OP healer in the game and always has been which is still true. The DPS kit was never complex to begin with and while it does suck it's just as shit as AST now if all you care about is how your DPS kit works, it's still a scholar and still just as stupidly absurd.

It's a saying for "going nuts". Try to not look at it with the eyes of a 13 year old.
