>BRO YOU CAN CHAT IN PARTY CHAT IN BETWEEN CASTS
Listen, as much as I pine for a more player interactive MMO experience the whole "Chat Room but with pretty graphics now" thing that MMOs were back in the day just doesn't cut it. Chatting with people in another state or country is so far past passe that it shouldn't be hailed as a major element of why a game is "enjoyable". The fact that XIV 2.0+ still maintains the interesting lore and world building of the 1.0 version is what draws me to the game. The world design is what draws me in. The cool fights are what draws me in. Not being able to type about the Packers or whatever inane chat people thought was nuanced back in 1999 while waiting for a button to press as the boss just kind of idles there in the distance.

Who the fuck bumped that itachi thread?

Itachi.

1.0 had spirit and soul. To be expected, since it was developed by people with heart and soul. Yoshi P destroyed it because he is a western MMO otaku, and we know that western MMOs are as soulless as Korean MMOs.

1.0 was just a bad copy of FFXI and you were better of playing that game. It mixed the worst of new and modern MMOs together into and awful game while also being a fucking mess at a technical level, remember how the ENTIRE interface was server side? Anyone who defends that shit has never actually played it.

You were better off just sticking to XI than 1.0

THIS

I know, it's pretty sad. I haven't actually used it in a few years, but I've had it sitting in my bookmarks for years. It's definitely worth a looking at, it's pretty comfy.

There was a boat-docking thing in the 1.X client that was accidentally sent to the client in an update which was a WIP for some thing they planned to do where a pirate ship would ram the one you're on, and it'd clamp down a claw over it to hold inplace/run aboard.

WHATEVER AT LEAST IT WAS IMMERSIVE

negative bro. old version was superior in every way

Meanwhile modern MMOs are stress constant input so much that you never have time to mention something to a person without fucking your DPS. In a genre still primarily text-chat driven.

Healers don't heal less though. They heal the exact same they healed on SB, the issue is that now people have 2x the hp.

Also, it's not that bad if you pray to RNG gods.

>whm doesn't use his staff
>he doesn't have idle battle animation
You answered your own complaint. The healer was in passive mode, which you're still allowed to perform casts in it. No reason for them to have their weapon out unless they were performing auto-attacks, which they'd miss a lot in this context because healers had fuck-all for both physical/magical accuracy.

>idle battle animations of others is just them holding their weapon
Auto-attacks.

>what's "hard" in this fight is that Ifrit hits for half hp of tank, but even then single cura heals to max
MP management was more of a thing, and all spells had recast timers so you couldn't mash things.

seen 'em. lived 'em. wasn't the worst part of 1.23 sadly, ARR is

MMOs should just have built in voice chat that isn't dogshit of course. Apparently the WoW party voice chat isn't awful but I don't play WoW. That way you can still get your chat fix without the bane of discord servers looming over you. Shit I'd kill for an FC voice chat.

I don't think I'd want voice chat in a genre mostly populated by whiny mid-teens.

anyone ever notice how the opening intros to the city-states were super involved whereas in ARR they literally have everybody on a wagon a'la'skyrim? pretty damn lame if you ask me. way better in 1.x

they really removed as much soul as possible in ARR

It's because each city actually had its own fully involved story for awhile before they converge with Minfillia later on. ARR is quick to bring you up to speed with a given city's nearby problems with the help of a scion, and whisks you away to Waking Sands to converge the plots before you're even 20.

dadly i think you're spot on. how can you have everyone riding in on a wagon? jesus christ

Attached: FFXIV_1338197493.jpg (1280x720, 476K)

one thing i don't get: if they were remaking the game, why dumb down the original city-state stories? if they wanted to replace them, i could get that. but they didn't even do that. they just sorta glossed over them in favor of a wagon ride. it's like yoshi-p was snorting cocaine thinking how awesome it'd be to remake ffxiv into skyrim. so fuckin' lame bros!!!

true. even so though. clearly they delivered better on 1.0 than the resulting team has after years of effort

Because Japs have that work ethic in almost every business, not just game dev.

this entire game is a fucking shitshow from start to finish. what's the use if you'd be better off dps'ing in dance dance fucking revolution?

All they delivered was 20% of a product with 1.0. Shit wasn't remotely finished art/content-wise.

Parseniggers need to fuck off. If you are that obsessed with top DPS jobs and meta, go play fucking WoW.

that's what makes me think they got rolled over by yoshi-p. clearly a lot of them felt a lot of pride in 1.x
i agree but what was finished, i think is superior to the wow-clone they vomitted out

Japs fucking hate crunch time and shit, its just they are expected to put up with it and not complain, believe me, they fucking complain plenty and rightfully so

99% of xiv posters in Yea Forums are parseniggers.

WHM can keep it's big numbers because personally I just find it boring as fuck to play.
I'd love if any of the healers felt better in terms of optimizing besides "I can get more Malefics/Broils/Glares out!." I don't really care about throwing out a few more nukes because it just feels boring.
Sticking to AST because I'd rather manage cards on top of healing and then DPS, but overall I wish they'd bring something else to healers as a whole.

TRUE NIN bros, enjoy your job while you can.
At this point purging in 6.0 is undeniable. Look at all those faggots crying about muh 50 APM=low DPS and muh clipping while some JP nins use fuma instead of raiton across all forums.

Should just remove healers DPS-toolkit, make heals weaker, and require healing-spam to build up some form of gauge to then use offgcd nukes with.

I imagine they'd gut Trick Attack over Mudras. Perhaps give an ability that lets you reset Mudras instead of the Bunny failure. Nerf Fuma and buff Raiton to force people into using it and then cut other abilities to lower their overall APM.

hey little trick bitches hope you enjoy your buff lol

PEAK KINO
I suppose this is what all "old mmos were better" fags want.
Honestly 1,0 world looks more alive because of obvious reasons. And I want 1.0 cutscenes in XIV.

elaborate

No thanks, honestly if WoW can have interesting and varied healers I'm still shocked XIV can't. This isn't meant to be a shitstirring comment but WoW has everything from Melee Healer to Healers that strictly DPS to Heal. It's interesting and varied between them regardless of the rest of the game.
I've been playing MMOs for a while at this point and gravitated towards healers and I've seen plenty of interesting concepts. Personally I think Lotro Captain or AoC Bear Shaman was my favorite.
I was hoping Dancer would fit as a melee healer archetype but here we are. In the context of XIV I think healing at this point should be strictly oGCD with a more interesting damage rotation on GCD as that's how everyone pushes healers into playing anyway.

it wsn't WoW

so if 1.0 was good how did it fail so badly?

it wasnt. you clearly never played it. I played its beta and it was so fucking bad holy fuck I've never played a game that fucking bad. it tanked so hard that within 6 months it had only 10k players subbed.


ARR made the game actually playable.

This shit is barren and soulless asf. I understand that this is a bait thread and bait discussion to dab on jannies but still, how can people be so delusional?

*mental gymnastics about popular = bad or WoW*

talkin' about mechanics in combat u can't react to without wiping first. in 1.x you had time to figure things out and adjust. if you couldn't figure it out after 20 mins you wiped. much different story now. now you have like 5 seconds to guess

>so if 1.0 was good
so good that Square halted sub fees because the thought of anyone actually paying to play 1.0 was an insult

ARR servers would blow up trying to understand the concept of smart heals and chain heals unfortunately.

It really wasn't good.

AST is still cucked, there's no reason they aren't the DNC of healers, their raid buffing should be way higher than it is.
These buffs bring it halfway in line but it still needed way more than this.
Try again Squeenix.

1.X didn't have enemy castbars or generic telegraphs, plus you had input delay on player movement because MUH ANIMATIONS.

t. whm trannnies

Good, get off my job you whining shitter. Go play WHM like all the other FOTM rerollers.

According to these threads DNC shouldn't even be in any parties.

Which is why AST should bring the buffs instead.

i played the beta too. i agree with you, but by 1.23 they had things under control. this thread is about how they jacked up the game engine

u can restore ur stacks with antman after phase transition TK

Actually unsure. It should still be used in openers but as long as you have GL4 there's absolutely no reason to use Anatman at downtime unless you lose your stacks for whatever reason.

TK then Analman your GL stacks back to 4 during phase transition.
Formshift change is mostly so dungeon doesn't suck shit as monk if your tank is being slow fuck.

Pretty much. Should have made Cards or Divination itself stronger instead of reducing the cooldown by a minute, this just makes NIN more important than ever if you have an AST in the party.
Unless these fights require you to GCD heal a ton the rDPS increase from these changes is nowhere near enough to bridge the gap with WHM.

Form Shift only maxes out your GL duration, it doesn't give any GL stacks itself. Reading comprehension my dude.

Wait, we finally have fucking tights? Holy shit about time.

I thought TK was discarded? People are using it? What rotations are you guys using?

fuuuck. Those MNK numbers must have seen a serious drop or something. At lwast they got what they wanted. Now were are my WAR buffs?

>can't decide if I want to play DRK or a DPS
I kind of want to tank but it sucks play with shitty DPS in groups.

I like the cooldown reduction because it might force you to play Div without complete seals but they ALSO should have increased the potency on top of that.

Now I just need a school girl uniform and I am set.

you use tornado kick when the boss fucks off and becomes untargetable , you can use anatman to get the stacks back before they return

sounds like greek to me but in 1.0 terms seems passable

>linking to the dead project
There's another server project that's in a better state, but nowhere near playable yet. Has some basic combat, though.

I like the animations and playstyle of the others?

Why do you care? You'd only want them if you're a tranny who glams in that kind of stuff and if you have those kind of desires you surely don't mind forking over cash anyway.
No normal person would want or buy them.

MCH and DNC are fun to play.

Because you need 4 dps and you can't go into savage with doubles.

1.0 was literally destroying square both financially and reputation. Yoshi saved the game and the entire company you contrarian tard.

you remind me of the SB MCH's who were super fucking mad people were interested in MCH again when it was reworked to be fun

With Sleeve Draw still being the old 180s and not lining up with Divination anymore, yeah, not having 3 different seals is a thing that can actually happen now.
These changes just blow. They feel so utterly inconsequential. The healing adjustments are great, new Noct CO especially is ridiculous, but SE just seems way too scared of the Card buffs. Of course they are going to scale better further into the expansion, that's why you should adjust them every couple patches instead of having them be garbage at start and only messuring up to be about equal at the very end when we're already about to get ready for everything to change again in 6.0. Just doesn't make sense to me.

>P2W
You have no idea what that means.

I also play Machinist and that's exactly how I reacted

No more slowdown means being able to use PB during RoF too, which also means massive damage.

No, because those are not trade able.

The only thing you can buy off mogstation that is tradeable is the wedding rings, and SE already issued warnings about trading them for gil in the past.

Other than that, furnishings you place down in a house I 'think' can be placed in another player's inventory that has access to managing furniture of that house.

you don't actually know what P2W means do you? It's scummy but literally nothing the mog station helps you preform better in end game content or any content past some EXP boost to fucking level 30.

Literally nobody in the 6 years ARR has been out has anyone advocated for 1.0 AT ALL until just this past month, the fuck do you think?

It's too bad MCH is in the shed according to Yea Forums so no one should be playing it.

this change makes 100% sense, healing potencies were always ludicrously high in this game, now it actually feels like I have to use my heals rather than just focusing on damage and throwing in my OGCD's whenever

WAR needs a -very- slight buff, like 20 potency added to their fell cleave or something.

DRK needs to be changed so that they're no longer the only tank whose low cooldown mitigation (TBN/Heart Of Stone/Sheltron/Raw Intuition) hurts them if used improperly. None of the other tanks have possible drawback for using their mitigation abilities.

Laughable. HW doesn't get "good" until The Aery, which is a little more than halfway through the expansion. Even then, I'd argue the game doesn't become mechanically complex/engaging until The Vault, or even the final trial.

Plus, most jobs are just plain unfun to play before they get their full 60 kits, some even as far as 70.

While I'm not saying AST is perfect I agree with what Square is trying to do. It's better to undertune the job and have it grow stronger than to overtune it and then nerf it. Nobody enjoys being nerfed. People dislike being nerfed more than they enjoy being buffed. It is to be avoided.

It provides the functionality that was stripped while Ikishoten provides the DPS that was lost.

Exactly the same thing happened to AST, the regen potency was taken out of Collective Unconsciousness and given to Celestial Opposition instead. Now you have two buttons that were previously one so you can use them both together to replicate the old effect or use them separately which is probably more beneficial in the long run.

Except Bard.

I don't play MNK.

I'd rather have Delirium reduce the cost of stuff like Bloodspiller and Quietus to 20 and maybe shorten TBNs CD during that time. If potency needs to be nerfed I'd take it.

Not really, being a pug bitch makes me indecisive about what I want to play so I end up sticking to nothing.

I just don't think healers in XIV are used to actually have any real pressure. Any time they need to actually put in a little bit of effort in dungeons because the tank is new to it instead of running in synced gear they throw a fucking bitch fit. Meanwhile DPS players are used to get aneurisms in Ex content because they need to have perfect complex rotations while avoiding all the AoEs. Healers are pampered pussies. The only fun runs I've had as healer are the ones where DPS players make a lot of mistakes forcing me to heal more often, if everyone is doing well and barely taking any damage it's just a snoozefest

Pretty torn about the tank changes honestly, despite having 4 tanks this is pretty damn close to perfect balance with only some minor tweaks maybe, at the very least all tanks are 100% viable and are shinning unlike in SB.

Never works

Homogenization is the death of MMOs. I'll gladly take unique classes over balanced ones (though ideally you'd have both). If you have to choose, just make everything at least viable and fuck balance.

Speaking of quest complete, what the fuck is the quest accept noise? I can only hear Metalman's Stage.

In the same boat, I crafted a fuck load for my main class. Whatever, grade 1 are still pretty good.

>I'm happy but part of me wonders if there could have been another way.
Yes. Go back to the fun but imbalance when jobs had personality. Just take a look at modern WoW and you can see that homogenization leads to imminent ruin, always.

>clinging to the less than 20 tranny gaymin paid reviews as if that's an indication of fan reception

I'm still confused as to what Barry's problem with other FF games is. Is he only allowed to like XV or Tabata beats him when he gets home?

They're both groups of morons who think they have the most responsibility and difficulty in fights when they actually have the easiest roles and mechanics, and feel entitled because of it. Healers more than tanks though.

The only chads are the DPS players who actually know their rotations well or tanks who realizes their job is easy but still like doing it

Perhaps "undeath" would be more fitting? The game lives on, but as an unfun husk of its former self. You're welcome to provide an example of when an MMO homogenized its classes and became better for it.

It's a mystery.

>1.0 had a teleport currency called anima that recharged 1 anima every 4 hours, it took 16 hours to teleport once
This is a good thing because it made you actually engage with the world instead of teleporting everywhere.

>1.0 had a teleport currency called anima that recharged 1 anima every 4 hours, it took 16 hours to teleport once.

Now XIV cuz it just had it's most popular expac drop and is at the height of it's current player base. Any game that gets popular and people dare think it's better then the trash fire of XV and Barry will be there. He doesn't even play the games he just shitposts then leaves.

Seriously, everyone keeps crying about stuff like dragoon and bard being too useful of a combo thanks to their skill and pierce synergies, and their solution is to remove that uniqueness instead of making other classes have more synergy with eachother

People are too obsessed with metas

Its because its definitely Barry, aka XV-kun, getting mad no one cares about his game that released 4 years ago anymore, and when people do talk about it, its generally in a negative light.
He gets autistic and hates other SE games that do better then his precious XV despite the games being from the same company.

>>no primals
There were, but you fought waves of enemies instead of the primals themselves. That is, until later on in the game's lifespan.

I'd respond to more, but considering you have a combination of shit from launch and further down the line, I'm pretty sure you're not interested.

1.0 was an absolute piece of shit. At the time it was announced, i was killing dark ixion in Grauberg [S] and I remember my entire linkshell exploded on ventrillo.

"omg, it literally looks like XI-2!!!"
Everyone was hyped as fuck.

Then the alpha was released and the mood changed drastically. It was not fun to play at all, and you needed the best PC possible to run it at acceptable frames.

We all gave it the benefit of the doubt and jumped into the beta when that was released, but yet again it was a fucking mess.

When 1.0 actually came out and it was still unplayable garbage, my entire linkshell of about 25 people all dropped that shit and went straight back to XI.

The game was a total failure. It didn't even fucking work properly. I don't know your idea of fun, but mine isn't waiting 5 seconds for a menu to open.

Posts like these are 100% bait. Only a literal retard could actually like 1.0

People always take the path of least resistance. Look at vanilla wow pservers for data here. Any class and spec in the game is "viable" and can clear content, but some are so much better and some are so much worse the players will gravitate to or avoid or even reject certain specs from end game content even if they can do it.
Good luck playing an oomkin in raids.

Not really, its just that most the shit that you would point to is shit that eventually got fixed after yoshi-p took over. it was deeply flawed, tedious, and laden with ways to restrict people from playing the game they bought and no amount of rose colored tanaka glasses is ever going to make 1.0 a good game.

Agreed, 2.0 had a lot of necessary changes but they could keep SOME of the """inconvenient"""" stuff. While waiting for queue I like to walk around in old areas and while they're comfy they're so empty. I'd also like it if you had to queue for instances outside of the instance entrance instead of just doing it in a menu from anywhere. Eorzea desperately needs to feel more alive

I've been on Exodus since I started back in ARR. It's alright, I haven't really had any issues, but I also don't have any attachment. They need to start adding more preferred worlds on NA, I'd probably just end up switching for the double exp.

Are you just now getting into Shadowbringers?

Duty Finder and basically infinite teleports really make the XIV overworld pretty pointless now. They'd save so much money if they just turned the game into hub areas without bothering with the overworld that is only busy during new content. It gets really fucking depressing when there's only a handful of people out in a sprawling zone. Completely fucking frivolous because instant gratification is cancer.

I am doing that.

DAoC

The battlehall music yeah, not the actual game music

I believe I can hit the 6th GCD, I am actually unsure. I actually have been thinking about it a lot if I am hitting it or not.

They should do the opposite and make the overworld actually worth exploring. I remember when I first started playing that I was exploring the entire map hoping to find a treasure chest or something. These days I just fly over undiscovered points on the map to get the exp/achievement because those 'hidden'/niche places serve literally no purpose.

Spamming LFG/LFM for hours jsut to finish one shitty dungeon (out of 100 runs) is not great. Especially in game where dungeons designed for leveling up.

I'm trying to get a better grasp on this. In what sort of scenarios would dumping Sen into Kenki at this exchange rate be useful?
I can only think of two:
1- If you have 3 Sen at the start of an AOE pull and don't want to Midare Setsugekka one of the targets.
2- You desperately need 5/10 more Kenki for Hissatsu: Gyoten in situations when you can't Enpi (which doesn't seem likely to me).

Do you honestly think Square Enix literally apologized for the game for no reason?

But go ahead and and get your dopamine from lying on a chinese imageboard so you can avoid liking something even remotely popular. You sure are cool.

You'd obviously want to still strive for balance (hence why both uniqueness AND balance is ideal), but that balance shouldn't come at the cost of what makes the class fun. Even then, there's tons of people planning to play low-tier specs (such as enhancement shamans and druids in general) in classic despite their weakness simply because they enjoy the class.

I'd prefer that as well, but it's patently obvious they either don't have the skill to make that work out, or the don't have the will. So since they're either incompetent or lazy, might as well just have them shitcan the entire thing, and maybe use that extra time and resources to make other things better.

Oh, actually, there is one thing that I should correct you on.
>>all attacks require your TP bar to slowly fill
That's not true. You had two attacks, white damage attacks (basically auto attacks) and normal skills. Normal skills cost TP, which varied based on the skill. White damage skills didn't cost this.

What both DID cost was Stamina, which was an ATB bar. Each move ate up a chunk of that, so combat was basically using stamina as it came up. The main issue with this is that stamina took about as long as it did for one character in an ATB FF game to recharge, so it was painfully slow to play. Also the last point is a meme, some fags who imported the 1.0 maps found that the flower pot poly count is about 1k. Someone probably has the actual image, I didn't bother saving it. This is, obviously, ignoring that the same flower-pot can be found in ARR today - which has, ironically, a bit more detail.

You are right in that 1.0 is a flawed product. However, I do think that there's aspects of it that XIV today could take from. Going from the normal "the cutscenes!" shlock, XIV could ape the more RPG aspects (class system in particular), as well as dungeon design, some of the more finer crafting details (i.e. crafting mats from NM-like monsters/hunts, dungeons which can be used to make gear), and gearing in general.

I'm towards the backend of Stormblood 3.0. Exodus just seems kinda there, it's like the middle child of Primal servers. Maybe when I start hitting SHB where everyone's at that opinion will change, but community interactions have been milquetoast outside of cross-realm content.

Look at hunts man. Exploration is not possible with all those modern tool. This can be solved by releasing console only MMO. Unironically XIV being console exclusive will bring more classic MMO experience to the table

Great you fixed a single part of Scholar's problems.
Then just give us a Miasma II / Bane type of thing back that's an AoE DoT. Don't care if it's 15 potency, costs 3000 mana and is called Cryfart of Whining Scholar, long as it's a damage over time for bigger pulls.
WHMs have a stun AoE and a damageheal AoE. AST have a ranged AoE and a ground damageheal AoE. We only have a single damage AoE with no special effect.

A lot of the negativity about 1.x is from myopic retards who only know about 1.0, so the issue goes both ways. Launch XIV was unequivocally a piece of shit, I bought the collectors edition and installed it day one full of excitement, played it for about three weeks having very little fun, then just uninstalled it until like 1.3 came out. But those of us who played did see the game making interesting steps, thinking maybe this could exist outside of the WoW mold that every fucking modern MMO cucks to. If those dipshit slants released the game at around 1.17 quality, I imagine XIV now would be quite different, certainly less westernized and safe.

But numbers don't lie, and this version of XIV is very popular with the casuals. I'm genuinely happy for people who like it, but I will always lament what the game could have been, since modern XIV will clearly not be the MMO that breaks us out of this interminable WoW themepark slump the genre has been spinning its wheels in for years now.

Alright, fair enough points. I'll be honest, I didn't start playing until 2.1, and most of this list is based on memories of what the veterans in my old FC used to complain about and what frustrated the hell out of an irl friend of mine.

While I agree zones could use more incentive to populate them, I don't think restricting teleporting to once a day would be very fun or productive.

No one will take you seriously because you're 1.0 fag. Your definition of "fun" is not "fun" for normal human beings. You're degenerate who enjoys shit. I bet you will like Drakengard 1 gamepaly too.

Maybe they could boost exp values if you form a party inside your own world, instead of just brainlessly mashing the U key and playing with people from god knows where. Losing leveling inside public zones is the biggest issue, and that won't change anytime soon since Eureka exists.

They wouldn't have to make travel services be anything more than glorified zone change loading screens, just make it like Morrowind where fast travel is limited by different kinds of travel services and where they're able to take you. Teleportation could still exist but not from literally anywhere like it is now.

LMFAO

I can't blame you for the flowerpot thing, Yoshida actually reported on that in a GDC conference. I can't speak for his comment about shader code, since we don't have the source, but I will say that current XIV isn't much better than 1.0 in terms of rendering.

>While I agree zones could use more incentive to populate them, I don't think restricting teleporting to once a day would be very fun or productive.
Honestly, I don't either. I'd maybe increase the costs of teleportation, or make it only available to the city-states. Then, I'd have some more open-world content (I, for one, would love open-world dungeons where leves could be done or small mini-hunts). You can easily make worlds feel a lot more connected with simple things like real-time transport, not making things so easy to get around your first time around, a wider range of enemy levels, and getting rid of flying, but they'll never do this.

XIV's primary issue is that the world feels disconnected and "fake". Even if you made it all open world like WoW, it'd feel just as fake. XI did it in 2001, after all. ARR's areas were, as much as people hated on them for being small, really good in this regard: they had a range of levels for most areas, and felt like you had a reason to come back to them later on.

a friend told me his 'second form' has been datamined but i haven't seen it myself

Is that it? Looks easier than WoW.

Why do people say MCH is complicated?

It's not a competition.

Because you have to push buttons fast I guess?

Whatever you have to tell yourself cuck.

MCH is only for people that at the very least know how to change the oil in their own car. Anything less and you're never gonna make it.

Imagine defending this.

mch press many button much fast
it presses buttons a lot which people misinterpret for being some crazy masher but the actual amount of different buttons it presses is extremely low. As soon as you learn the classes 'rotation', which is a very simple, the class plays itself if you smash everything off cooldown and don't press the wrong button.

how are you supposed to succeed without dbm

I haven't played MCH but how is this any different than DRG with it's million OGCD skills?

Realism in games isn't fun

drg has no regular 1.5s GCD spam phase where it has to weave at least a couple of oGCDs in.

NIN, MCH and MNK all have the most actions per minute by a decent margin (can see on fflogs)

Honestly I think it'd be neat if we had some more maps mixed in with the standard 6 per expansion where there wasn't any flying. Not every map needs it.

Say what you want about the grind in eureka, but I spent a lot of time exploring all the eureka maps, on foot, trying to dodge monsters that would kill me and that was probably one of the experiences I'll remember best about ffxiv. except for hydatos, fuck hydatos, that map was just a big empty plain with a river running through it. really killed my exploration boner.

schs are such babies

They really just need some connecting areas where you can't fly or mount up, kinda like some dungeons in XI. For example, imagine if you had to go through this little vertical valley dungeon to get from Coerthas to the Dravanian Hinterlands, rather than it just being implied. Or if you actually had to go through the Red Labyrinth in Southern Thanalan, or the entire mine in La Noscea. Those areas don't even need to be big - just a small little maze-like area that can be absolutely ignored after your first romp through. Although, that's basically most areas in XIV anyway.

Speaking of Eureka,
>get to hydatos, ready to explore a dangerous map again
>it's just a plain
>complain about it to friends

I didn't like Eureka and that just settled that the dev team had no idea what the fuck they were doing, or what made Eureka fun.
