I've just finished my first 30 days in XIV and I have to say its the biggest waste of money I have ever spent on a video game. I will not be subbing again. I would get a refund if I could. If you like dress up and ERP its great(you are a faggot), but if you want an actual game you are going to be sorely disappointed.
The animations are complete and total dog shit. We are talking PS1 level animations. All the bosses are just "dont stand in shit". The classes all have too many buttons that do the same thing(my class Dragoon has almost 20 buttons in its basic rotation). The abilities aren't even interesting either, they are designed to be strictly used one after another in a VERY specific order. So specific that your next abilitiy will light up with an outline on the HUD/Action bar. Everyone is ERPing and pretending to be girls CONSTANTLY. They erp in the general channels, they erp in your FC channel(I joined 7 different FCs and they were all ERPing non-stop). Most people actively talk about being trans and taking pills. One person was discussing how they will cut their leg, collect the blood, and inject it into their anus to simulate a menstrual cycle. I haven't wasted any time on professions, but if the rest of the game is any indicator its probably not good. The leveling is absolutely the worst experience I have ever had in a video game. There are like 5 different types of quests you do, then they just repeat with different flavor text, you do these same 5 quests 1000 times each(I am not joking). The story is total garbage Everything takes place in tiny instances. Every dungeon is a very narrow hallway with bosses living in circular arenas. None of the male characters look masculine, but instead are faggy little cunts.
>One person was discussing how they will cut their leg, collect the blood, and inject it into their anus to simulate a menstrual cycle. What the actual fuck

Sounds like you don't like mmos. FFXIV is, in fact, an mmo, so I dont really know what you were expecting.

OP here. Nah, I like MMOs. I've played quite a bit of WoW, EvE, OSRS, EQ and DAOC. XIV is garbage and shouldn't even be called a MMO.
Isaac Morales
pretty accurate. the fanbase is autistically rabid and defensive and too unaware of how addicted they are to it to realize how shit it is though. Everyone in that game seems mentally ill.
Tyler Butler
>FFXIV is, in fact, an mmo Why did you feel the need to point this out?
Gabriel Smith
It is the worst MMO(RPG) out there.
>B-but the """"good"""" s-s-story bullshit. The story is one of the worsts ever.
Jaxon Morris
Before the XIV larp squad comes to try and deface you, I've given it a very very generous shake at playing for a year with my friends, and I can no longer stomach it. It's content cycle is very bottom rung, predictable, and doesn't add much. The 24 mans, savage raids and Ultimate encounters only last for so long. And before any slack jawed nigger tries to point out that this kind of cycle is common in MMO's, yeah. They are. But other games have better fluff and actual things to do while you're waiting. Leveling alt jobs is boring, the Tomes system is very slow to progress, crafting and gathering gets up to speed super quick and doesn't last. Shadowbringers was my last shake at it, and I'm fucking embarrassed that people accept it so easily.
Grayson Long
>The story is one of the worsts ever. Yea that was one of the weirdest thing about the game. The story was absolutely tedious and dry with pages and pages of dialogue to sift through with no real substance to it, but then people were always talking in game-chat about how much they liked it. It was like when you hear a wife who gets beaten by her husband talk about how much she loves him. Its really jarring and makes you feel uncomfortable.
I'll see you in the Asmon layer when Classic hits OP
Isaac Anderson
>picks the combo class >"all my skills are combos wtf??"
Ryder Anderson
all XIV classes are combo classes and playing the same. there is only one rotation (and buff rotation).
Jaxon Barnes
>the fanbase is autistically rabid and defensive and too unaware of how addicted they are to it to realize how shit it is though Thats what puzzles me though. I totally understand the feedback loop, but here is no positive feedback to encourage you to keep playing. The is so little content its shocking.
There are 3 end game "dungeons" with 3 bosses in them. This is the entirety of non-raid content at the end of the game. 9 bosses + trash.
Bentley Richardson

This doesn't happen on Phoenix I have no idea how you people end up meeting so many freaks.

They said that the New Game+ will be introduced in 5.1, right? This time, instead of Japanese voice acting I'll switch to English. I just build up my hype until Emet-Selch.
Jaxson Gonzalez
What is it about the defensive thing? On /xivg/ if you point out any flaw you'll get 10 replies jumping down your throat. To me, the story is incredibly generic. Every expansion revolves around the cliche "all consuming evil" and endless time wasting dialogue introducing your character to other people over and over and over.... I've put about 200 hours and I'm halfway through Shadowbringers and I hope it gets better, I heard that it does. But I dunno man. I can't say this fucking anywhere but here without getting shit for it and I can't have an actual discussion about it. Devolves into shit flinging.
Joshua Cook
Sounds like a parselet to me. "Just do your very basic rotation and don't die"
Based. I've been telling people to not waste time on this garbage for a while now but do they listen? This is a game catered to people who've never played an MMO even once, unironically WoW in it's current state is still a better MMO since it's actually an MMO not a single player hallway/instance simulator.
Jaxon Walker
>I can't say this fucking anywhere but here without getting shit for it and I can't have an actual discussion about it. I tried talking about this in /xivg/ and got a warning for "Global Rule 3 - Trolling". I think some of the jannies are xiv fans or something.
Caleb Bailey
Thats another thing, every character that you have to talk to looks like its name came out of some kind of random character name generator. Its impossible to remember who is who when all their names are total gibberish.
I approach it like I wanna have a serious discussion about it and it's instantly accusatory with "wowrefugee" thrown in there. I just wanna know what makes someone this in denial and retarded about a mmo that they're incapable of talking about any flaws.
Grayson Diaz
>HW or SB >"all consuming evil" Learn to read instead of writing paragraphs about how you can't
Cameron Murphy
I know exactly which shitposter you are because you've posted in FFXIV threads and repeatedly show you have no idea what an "instance" is. There are better ways to start threads than this.
Nolan Ward
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it. If threads like this can filter out people so moronic as to believe even the most blatant of all shitposting attempts then it'll be a better game for the rest of us.
>I know who you are! >Theres only one person who doesn't like XIV >ITS THAT PERSON!!! Again, zero arguments. Attacking OP instead of attacking what OP said.

Cameron Cooper
Not really. You don't find ERP unless you're actively looking for it, you should have chosen a caster class if combos pissed you off that much, the story is fine, and every other argument can pretty much be classified as "that's the nature of RPGs. I get that this is the official xiv hatethread, but at least 90% of the complaints in the OP is just conjecture or projection.
Also, i call bullshit that you liked wow and hated FFXIV. They're the same thing, just done a little differently in a few areas.
Gavin Richardson
>XIVfags tricked a bunch of people by saying it has better end game than WoW
OP has the line "I joined 7 different FCs and they were all ERPing non-stop" and you're still taking time typing out serious replies? Come on man, you're better than this.
Kevin James
I can't stand modern wow, but its better than XIV by miles.

David Campbell
Again, you don't find ERP unless you are ACTIVELY looking for it. I've looked at like 5 different FCs since I started, and they're all just chill groups of people looking for others to hang with them. My argument stands.
Oliver Bailey

John Smith
>all that whining about ERP and trannies I've been playing for 4 years, first on Balmung then on Jenova, and not once have I encountered that shit while playing, nor have I been actively bothered by it, and I have hundreds of hours clocked in. I'm convinced you need to actively spend hours upon hours actively seeking out ERP and tranny/LGBTQ+ circles in-game to have SO many problems with them that it needs to be complained about. Quit hunting down trannies like the obsessed little faggot you are and you'll find a much more pleasant experience.
>sandnigger Projecting much? >I played FFXIV years ago and didn't like it, you're the one in denial if you think ActiBlizzard's WoW isn't the definition of a corridor simulator you gimp. Nah that won't here you fucking tranny I know your shitty tricks. Your game is garbage compared to even modern WoW, let that sink in already. You literally haven't seen hallway simulator if you haven't played FF14.
Gavin Sanders
We get it you did no content and just hung out with the ERPfags in Limsa when they spam invited you to their FCs.
It's basically how you can tell someone just brownsed Yea Forums threads and is trying to pretend they played the game.
Christopher Barnes
It's clearly a shitpost at best and severe exaggeration at worst so I'm not sure why you were expecting it to take off. He's outright lying about many things in his post but will claim he isn't. It's okay to not like a game. No game can cater to everyones tastes. Everyone has different preferences. Why you feel the need to lie and make up bullshit instead of just saying you dont like the game for its playstyle, its boss mechanics, and its lack of content I don't know. Is it because you think you have to make a grandiose claim to get attention to your thread? I'm not sure, but im sick of this autistic exaggeration of anything when it comes to vidya. You fucking faggots are massive drama queen baiters making up bullshit to get yourself sweet (You)'s no matter how much you compromise your own principles in the process. It's frankly pathetic, and you will not get a thread bump out of me for it.
>modern wow is more of an MMO than XIV. If you want to talk about Classic you might have something but you think BfA is an MMO? You're just humiliating yourself, stop already. There are very rare situations where more than 30 players are grouped together and most of them involve streamers. XIV has more opportunities for it to happen with hunts and Eureka, but yeah it's not like old MMOs either but it's still busier than WoW. Not to mention the people you see around you in XIV and persistent and you'll see them tomorrow and the day after because they're on your server, meanwhile in WoW you have players phasing in and out from realms you've never even heard of, sometimes they vanish right in front of your face to balance zone population and convince you the game isn't dead. And I'll stress again, neither are great in this regard, but modern WoW is a joke and a fucking shit stain on the legacy that is started. Vanilla WoW was infinitely better in this regard.
What is SAM like right now? Heard people saying it was nerfed but the latest patch buffed them again?
Blake Martin

Benjamin Anderson
He didn't, at all actually. He made a bait post to grab attention and proved he's a turboshitter that cant play dragoon correctly. Next he'll go into a wow thread and complain about skill pruning and 3 button rotations while simultaneously complaining about too many skills in xiv. There is no genuine intent behind OP's post. it is pure, nonsensical bait of the highest proportion. Again, its fine to not like a game and have reasons for it, its another to be a lying faggot for attention just so you can get some form of satisfaction from your thread getting more than 5 replies.
Ethan Evans
Having to go through a time gated gear threadmill is better than having no content in one week >Raid have few bosses and most of them are easy and cleared day 1 >Ultimates which are a good idea and fun to run are rarely released >Gear has barely any effect on gameplay and you just get it by buying from NPCs before a raid is even released >PVP is complete garbage >Leveling other classes is extremely boring with POTD and HOH >Decent profession system is completely compromissed by having a garbage economy and everything end ups being selling potion,food and gear just like WoW >Dungeons are a straigh line that have invisible walls and you don't even need to use CC, just run wall to wall and use your CDs >Raids are too formulaic >Every boss arena is just a souless circle or square >No seamless world so it doesn't even feel like a mmo >No reason to go back to zones so you barely see nobody besides major cities >Classes are extremely formulaic and easy to pick up >Barely any fun group abilities like Warlock portal which can completely change like a fight is played >No talents that can completely change like a fight is played
I hate ff14, but this user is definitely right in this regard. I made the mistake of making a character on one of the tranny servers without realizing it, but I did notice that after a few weeks I recognize almost everyone around, for better or worse.

>One person was discussing how they will cut their leg, collect the blood, and inject it into their anus to simulate a menstrual cycle. What the fuck is wrong with this playerbase? Even WoWplayers are better than this.
Jackson Richardson
It's true I played the game for two days, my rotation is utter garbage, you just have to input 48 buttons in sequence with no variation, one after the other, they all do the same thing too it's just "poke the enemy" with my tranny dick. Oh yeah I'm a tranny too because everyone who plays this game is, I found out in the first zone, 20 trannies appeared and invited me to their tranny FC. They welcomed my in their FC house with all sorts of tranny rituals, we had a shared dilation session for 30 minutes before I could even get back to levelling my character. The story sucks too it's all about trannies. The bosses don't attack you, they just be transexual in your general direction until you get disgusted enough to give up fighting them. Oh and the music is shitty tranny music too.
I give this game 10/10 I will certainly play it more.
Sebastian Hill
I really hope you wrote this obviously bait shitpost OP because he's been busy again, but somehow I doubt it.

Leo Ramirez
I just started playing a few days ago(free trial) as a gladiator and the game is packed with content. I am currently doing the MSQ but when i get to level 35 i'll do the side quests. The zones are nice, the music is pretty good, the art design is great. I loved Final Fantasy XII and this is basically the same just online. My only complaint is that everyone must be beautiful, i wanted to make a chad grandpa or a middle aged rugged adventurer. But that isn't that bad.
Brandon Diaz
Ignore parsers. Forget about numbers and damage. 5.05 gave SAM exactly what people asked for, they wanted the flexibility of SB back. The 5 second CD cut on Meikyo gives you wiggle room to always get it in before Tsubame Gaeshi. They'll never not line up now. Hagakure isn't there to be a DPS increase, it's a situational tool to delete your sen if you think you need to. You aren't locked into a rigid minute long rotation anymore, you can bend and change it based on the fight and you aren't punished severely for being out of range for 2 seconds. It's a huge improvement. SAM feels great to play.
Landon Cooper
They make you pay 40 dollars to skip the tedious story quests.
That's how boring the story is. You could spent 300 hours doing the endless story quests before actually play end game content.
Ryder Jenkins
Honestly im not gonna lie, i liked XIV and i dont play many MMOs. But the community is one of the worst fucking pieces of shit rivaling that of dark souls and league of legends. and OP is 100% right. i play on Crystal because aether was 100% populated and i shit you not ITS ALL THE TIME RPING i couldnt even FIND a fucking normal FC, they're all RPing ones. its fucking cringe,

Lincoln Taylor
Haven't met a single tranny that keeps talking about how tranny they are. I've seen some LGBT-friendly FCs recruiting, but even they are just "We're open and accepting", and not "Come talk about your pills and dilation". I've also never seen any ERP happening in public places. In my 2 years of playing, I've been approached twice by someone trying to start something, but they fuck off as soon as I reject.
The story is daunting at first because it takes forever to pick up, and the quests are repetetive, yes. It's very often "go talk to this person", "go kill one or two mobs in that area", "go into this single-player instance" or "go to dungeon". Quest variety is one of ffxiv's weakest points.
Content wise though, it has a shit ton. The problem people have with the game's content is that there's not enough for a single person. But objectively speaking, the game itself is filled to the brim with various content, but not all of it is for eveyone. Crafting is a whole game in itself, there's treasure maps, actually trying to beat the deep dungeons, hunting, gold saucer, sidequests with proper stories and much more. ffxiv's strength lies in the fact that you can still enjoy the game even if you're not an endgame raider. That's not something you can say for other games.
Now personally, I am an endgame raider, and this is where I feel the game falls short. Savage and Ultimate is a lot of fun, and Eden Savage has so far been wonderful, but once we've cleared and farmed for a bit, there's nothing to do. I plan on quitting between major patches, focus on something else, then resub once new content hits. And I'm okay with that, because I'm not spending my money inbetween content droughts.

What is so hard about just, not playing the game if you dont like it and moving on? What keeps you in this thread bitching about a game you dont like if you arent actually playing it? Because if you arent actually playing it, and youre wasting your own time in this thread complaining about something you dont even do, isn't that a bit silly?

I honestly can't recommend XIV to anyone who isn't someone who is really hungry for a new mmo or likes Final fantasy since it has a decent story.
Honestly diurnal AST is actually ridiculous but it's just too bad that Noct isn't so great, since that's probably what they'd be using
Aaron Baker
Bal "hive of degeneracy" mung was pretty clean when I was on there, there were people sitting and looking at eachother all around Limsa's plaza but I sat down in the Quicksand for an hour just to people-watch at prime hours and nothing untoward actually happened. The worst it got was a lalafell striking up a conversation with me and that was it and it rubbed my autism the right way since I do have thoughts and ideas for my character, who doesn't? "Casual" roleplaying is brilliant for character-building.
Parker Gonzalez
I like that it's instant but I think they need to change the animation somehow. Perhaps by making it like an anime style "I didn't even visually draw my sword" and changing the colour of the effects.

As someone who plays on wow vanilla private servers I decided to give xiv a spin. so far the experience has been just meh. the leveling content is trivial and doesnt challenge you either in game mechanics or socially. its braindead A to B and then watch a cutscene. and speaking of cutscenes, the main quest is utter contrived trite full of meaningless garbage youre forced to go through because the game is a linear pseudo single player game. you donr need help of other people for anything and in turn no one needs you. everything is autoqueued instance garbage to the point the community had to make a term for a non pug group, a "static". instead of pug being the ourlier term. what a terrible joke to call this even an mmo.

They've kind of gone for the Warlords of Draenor approach here, just without timetravel.
At the end of Stormblood your friends keep falling unconscious, and you keep hearing someone say "Cast open the gates". It's all very spooky and mysterious. What's actually going on though, is someone from another world is summoning you and he took all your friends on accident because he couldn't aim properly. The world you're summoned to is a world where good has won over evil, and as a consequence light has consumed everything except a small part of the planet. This happened 100 years ago. A bunch of sineaters, which are creatures of light who hunt anything with aether (mana) appeared in the world and is trying to consume the last portion of the world in light. The fat guy is a human who has been infused with a sin eater, giving him the power to control sin eaters. He used that power to create a city for debauchery and luxury.

No they have it as an option for ADD ridden fucktards like you that won't play story in a story driven MMO

I got grandfathered in from when the DC split first happened and everybody screeching about not being able to get carried anymore because all the bad players are on Crystal now was hysterical. All of our shitters fled to Primal and Aether to continue getting carried so now we've got mid-hardcore players that were and are still interested in raiding, not the greatest but not the worst.
Caleb King
Depends on the timeline you choose for your character. Post Dragonsong War Ishgard should be more or less open to proven adventurers of any race. Of course it won't make them natives there.
Lucas Lopez
So the fat guy is "light-side" but all about hedonism and debauchery? Are you as the players trying to bring balance to the force or something? Also, I haven't played any of FF XIV at all. What is the setting? I was hoping for a similarly autistic retelling of the story from the beginning, but thank you for posting what you did.
Robert Hughes
Crystal still has the absolute worst players, don't kid yourself bro
Christian Wood
Well, i don't play it anymore but I'm sure my criticism is valid and point still stands. The story quests have put a lot of new players off and the devs don't care about it. They make them pay to skip content otherwise they would quit.
Jace Kelly
That would be Moogle, but I wouldn't expect a consumer of ebin Crystal memes to know that.
Jeremiah Ortiz
Him for being overly aggressive in a dungeon. The tank may have been bad but we've all had to deal with people, you have to take it in stride. Instead he sperged out. He was also being a parsefag in Eden normal as if anyone fucking cares. He'll be back in a few days hopefully with a better attitude unlike dindu slapfag.
>good has won over evil Absolutely wrong. Light and Dark aka Umbral and Astral are just elements in XIV, like Fire and Water. They can produce specific results when in abundance, like voidsent and sin-eaters but they are neither good nor evil. If anything it was the stupidity that won on the first.
Anthony James
Have fun back in wow when "classic" comes out I am sure that will do well

>Is Phoenix considered a good server? If you shit on the floor in your bedroom or you shit on th floor in the living room, you are still shitting on the floor. What server you play on in XIV doesn't really matter.

I want to cum inside my little crying canary and cuddle her in my arms!
Light in XIV turns out to be a passive, "umbral", element associated with stagnation and erroneously associated with good, which even the characters admit to having always thought before they got a look at another world's perspective on the balance of light and dark. You are trying to bring shadow bring to the First by lessening the amount of light, yes. >What is the setting? Two huge gods, Zodiark (dark) and Hydaelyn (light) fought 12,000 years ago and Hydaelyn was the winner. Hydaelyn split Zodiark into 14 fragments, and because Zodiark embodied the world itself, the world was split into 14 lesser fragments as well. The antagonistic group, the Ascians, are slowly bringing together these 14 shards into their original whole by instigating Calamities, elementally-aspected natural disasters, on both the Source (the shard from which all the others sprung) and its thirteen respective shards; the outpour of elemental energies draws the shard back into the Source. All of this is a plan to bring Zodiark back to life, and the Ascians have succeeded in seven Calamities with an Eighth on the horizon.

>So the fat guy is "light-side" but all about hedonism and debauchery? He's a light being, but he is still human and has human desires and emotions. He believes the world is doomed, and created the city as a place for the rich and nobility to be happy until the world finally ends.
I don't 100% remember everything happening before but I'll give you a quick rundown of the beginning
ARR 1-50 >You start as some hobo adventurer looking for work >The world is recovering from a "calamity" and a lot of people suffer from memory loss >This calamity is actually the reboot of the game, from version 1.0 which sucked, to 2.0 >Obviously you're pretty strong for what you do >There are beast tribes, groups of various creatures who all worship their respective gods >Using crystals and enough faith, they can summon their gods into our world >These gods, or primals as we call them, have the power to enthrall anyone who comes near them, making them invincible >You, as it turns out, is a warrior of light, a fighter blessed with the power of Hydaelyn >Hydaelyn is kind of the "light" god, with Zodiark being the "dark" god of the world >Later in the game you realize Hydaelyn and Zodiark are basically also just primals >To digress, Hydaelyn's blessing makes you immune to primal's enthrallment >1-50 is largely about suppressing the beast tribe's attempts to summon primals, and to defeat said primals >Towards the end of 50 you fight the Garlean Empire, this world's nazis who are incapable of using aether >As a replacement, they have advanced technology >The Garlean Empire is being controlled by Lahabrea, an ascian >You fight your way to the top of the Garlean Empire's bases in the 3 main countries >Lahabrea helps create an ultimate weapon, Ultima, a machine that's been infused with the beast tribe's primals >You defeat Ultima, and then defeat Lahabrea >ARR ends

Eh the story is a slowburn and each time I try to coax my friends into playing or somebody is Interested I tell them to play free trial and see if they find MSQ story anyway compelling to them. Also the 2.5 gdc and very slow and honestly booring classes (especially Lancer/Dragoon) start to get slightly more complex around HW. If they find story good enough to follow there is a chance they can survive the post ARR 100 quest fun time to HW where the game really starts to kick in. I honestly get that FFXIV is not a MMORPG for "everyone" like WoW used to be around first 3 expansions.
Angel Rodriguez
sin eaters are still cognizant in the first moments after they change she was still herself when she got baked
Thomas King
Does JP have the dumb requirement of overgearing for a fight like NA/EU? It's sad when I see PFs for ex fights and such requiring ilvl 10 levels higher than the fight actually is
Nathaniel Sullivan
they mean players, you can put on jp voices and english subs any time
Jack Taylor
JP uses the duty-finder for just about everything, they're only overgeared for things if they walk in at higher than minimum ilvl.
Dylan Long
They just queue for stuff they don't use pf
Luis Adams
The only safe space in the gaming community I know is ResetERA. And they have a safe space in a FFXIV FC too.
Luis James
The further you wait, the higher ilvl req becomes. I cleared 3s on third day with like i447. They do use PFs for savages.
Brandon Morales
they do this for easy fights like Titania/Innocence extreme but for savage it's mainly party finder
Matthew Jackson
>Be on one of the most populated servers period >Everywhere except two main cities are basically empty wastelands

Dominic Diaz
No they do not. Feel free to elaborate how they do on the example of DRG though.
Jacob Peterson
Instance game. Why are you surprised? There's no point in going to leveling zones other than to gather.
Benjamin Watson
Most people are out doing things, and those main cities are population-centers for a reason
Josiah Campbell
And yet you have a queue to be able to play.
People are out there, playing. Just not sitting on their asses showing off their glamours like those Lominsa fucks.
Levi Jackson
Que times aren't much better. Outside of peak time of like 3-4 hours a day, you're looking at 5-10 minute waits minimum if not more, PvP being impossible.

The game exists in tiny little instances seperated by tons of loading screens. Ofc its going to be a ghosttown.

Lahabrea jobbed but Emet would have won if not for the fact that we just happened to have a piece of our soul hanging around us the whole time ready to merge with us at just the right time. Do it too soon and Emet flees to wait for his next chance when he sees us contain the light, do it too late and we become a sin eater. It had to have happened right in that moment in the midst of the fateful confrontation to force his hand and give us the chance to murder him once and for all.

Leo Smith
The tanks I've ran into have been pretty good despite some hiccups with the tank swap. It's the healers that don't preposition themselves for stuff and for some reason ranged that can't dodge delta attack. I'm still hoping to get at least E1S done this week.
Ryder Jackson
They get a lot of evil shit done and it took us a long time before we managed to kill any of them. It's just that in an MMO obviously the main characters is going to win in the end.
>Do it too soon and Emet flees to wait for his next chance when he sees us contain the light That's not what his plan was. If we managed to contain the light he would've offered us to become his allies and if we refused he'd "just kill you all".
Jeremiah Cox
>WoL specifically targets her first just to fuck her up for making you lose the key That felt good.
Brody Nelson
>Remember that female Ascian God i wanna try fucking a female Ascian
The second half of Heavensward was kind of overrated, and the conclusion of the Dragonsong War was cringe. (MSQ from patches 3.1 - 3.3). Best part of the story is the second quarter of Heavensward.
Stormblood MSQ > HW MSQ
Carson Young
Was kinda strange how there was Lahabrea and some noname ascian and the WoL specifically targetted the noname.
Connor Williams
Have we actually reached a point in XIV's lifecycle where people actually feel this way?
>That's not what his plan was. What he said was bullshit posturing. Why are you taking his nonsense at face value? He never expected us to contain the light. He said it himself, he is immortal. He can drop it and try again once our lifetime is over. That's what he would have done. His bullshit about killing us is all lies, if we contained all that light from the getgo he never would've fought us headon.
Daniel Ward
I hate how the game doesn't explain who half of these noname Ascians are.
Andrew Walker
Because we know what Lahabrea could do and we've already beat him before. We knew the least about her so we made sure to get her out the picture.
Ryan Ward
Unfortunately yes. Everything up until Shadowbringers was shit.
James Collins
It's easy as fuck as a tank. Good luck finding ranged and healer players that can bait the first orbs properly and then position the rotating orbs without wiping the party. This will be your biggest hurdle
Nathan James
bump.
Jason Scott
It was predicted.
Brayden Hughes
He had no reason to lie to us at that point, he was about to kill us anyways.
Final steps of faith is STILL the most kino fight in the game.
Parker Parker
nice, now I just need to tie the bag closed and throw it in the river
Ian Jenkins
Isn't that what Emet explained in ShB? Not sure if I really got it, but the way I understood it Lahabrea, Elidibus and Emet Selch are the only original Ascians that survived and they can just raise random people to fill their ranks.

What classes are best suited to solo trials/raids? I heard Stormblood stuff is too hard but is HW extreme stuff possible as 80? Most of the time I see tanks doing it or sometimes RDM. Healers don't do enough damage I take it?
>a bit bummed because it seems nobody ever talks anywhere, don't see any non new players or mentors at all Yea thats a big downer for me too. When they do talk its all about drinking semen out of the belly button of a lala or ejaculating inside of some rabbit's ear holes. Theres people everywhere, but nobody is doing anything. They are just standing there motionless ERPing with emotes.

Viera racial armor was the biggest fucking mistake because it's all you ever see them fucking wearing. Everytime I see it I die inside.

I am really glad the shitty lalas were utterly irrelevant this expansion.

Kayden Martin
Wait hold up so that's not just them using krile's hair in conjunction with the hood? Does this mean I can't just have krile's hair without the hood? This is a disaster.
stop spewing that forced meme you dumb parroting bitch.
Luke Powell
1) Get through story, take time to experience the world and pay attention to NPC dialogue 2) Check endgame content, get just high enough to get into what you want 3) Make yourself look nice 4) Socialize, work on alts/crafts or unsub until next .x patch
If you take time to make your own item level higher than others just for bragging rights when all the work gets invalidated in 3 months, you're an idiot.
Genuinely glad you had a good experience as a new player at the end of it, MMO's need more people like you who actually try to learn and approach things as openly and fairly as you did.

Fell for the shilling and bought this game with a friend, the story is shit right now but everything else is just mmo standard, already ordered a G600 because i can't stand to play with a keyboard.

The AST for not just giving up and putting his card on the tank or himself. I have never seen a dungeon run go faster by telling someone else how to play. It always slows shit down and can possibly lead to kicks like this.
Eli Gonzalez

does the armor on male roe's look stupid/stretched or clunky?
Janny is taking the next step and baiting XIVbros to make a case to permanently ban these threads.
Jack Brown
It doesn't stretch, but your mileage per item is definitely going to vary. Some items that look good on lalafell or miqote will not look good on Roegadyn. The reverse is also true. Cloud's Advent Children coat for example actually looks badass when put on a male Roe.
Jaxon Brooks
when people said it was a game for trannies they weren’t joking

Is there any explanation why MCH is being retarded here other than retardation?.
Also AST was wrong when started with "can we kick" instead of just asking why.

It really was the best. I have the Corsair one now, and while fine, or has actually less buttons thanks to not having that ring finger toggle the G600 does. Scimitar pro's a subpar G600 that costs 50% more.

I just ordered 60 days gametime from the Square-Enix store. It's been like 30 minutes but I still havn't received an e-mail or even a confirmation e-mail telling me they got the money. Paypal sent me e-mails telling I spent the money though.
Is Square-enix story usually this slow or is it safe to assume something went wrong?
Owen Turner
No they are not.
Daniel Sanchez
Uh well, my main MMOs were Ragnarok and WoW. In WoW my mains pretty much were Ret/Pro Paladin, Demonology Warlock, Fire Mage and Outlaw Rogue. In Ragnarok Online most of what I like was Whitesmith, Sage, Creator and Stalker.
just check your orders page. I bought two 30 day codes and they came in within an minute or less.
Dominic Taylor
That's not a ballpark, that's a stadium. What playstyle are you interested in? Otherwise just pick whatever looks cool to you.
Elijah Hill
Yeah I am pretty indecisive when it comes to stuff, I generally like a lot of things. I am interested in DPS and tank, don't care about healer.
Kevin Foster
If you want to dps and play a caster, play blackmage. if you want to eventually play a tank, try gunbreaker
Mason Nelson
It was in my fucking junk mail, wtf hotmail
Brayden Bennett
It's not a big deal if you change your mind after creating a character since you can switch jobs on the fly. Maybe start with pugilist since it's faster paced than most classes at low level.
Ryan Collins
Play femroe, it seems to upset people harder than anything else.
I played the game for 3 years, imagine how I feel. I mean, I appreciate the story and the art, but the playerbase is absolutely retarded and the content is limited.
I liked WoW as recently as WoD. I liked nothing to do outside of raids--no tedious upkeep was great and frankly I find people who liked Legion with its AP grind pathological. I have tried FFXIV twice. Most recently with heavenward and find the GCD is too long to be engaging. Wow at its best had you executing extremely tight rotations with priority variables on a shorter GCD while dodging all the ground effects in XIV and more.

Honestly only FF fanboys are playing this mmorpg. The game isn't as bad as you say but it's far away from being a good game. Apparently this is enough since this mmorpg is quite popular.

Nothing wrong with that, user. They know your RL information so it's not anonymous shitposting anymore.
i heard bad things about the dps checks but i saw a jap e3s clear where the blm died 2 times and straight up stopped casting to do the "trace the boss target circle" mechanic
Brandon Thompson
I like Vivi so much it makes me wanna play lalafell. Just being a short mage wearing big wizard hats sounds fun. I also like how the walking/running animations of the lalafell are almost exactly like vivi's
I'm pretty sure less than 0,001% of the population actually shares this opinion though.
Jackson Gomez
I think only E2S is the one with the really tough DPS check.
Oliver Carter
"Let's make the game less fun for everyone instead of just adding more plots" Please never get into game design, you sound like one of those retards who would rather nerf everything that's fun than buff the bad stuff.

Really it's more because the genre is dead, and you can barely even call it a MMORPG in the first place. Yoshida claims they're moving away from a MMO design philosophy and wants the game to be treated as just a game with an online component.
I disagree with their entire approach, and see it as a cashgrab by simply placating mass players with habitual/predictable content, but it's clearly a successful model.
William Gutierrez
FF14 before Shadowbringers too already had more old Final Fantasy feels than those games.
Matthew Peterson
I'd like the game much more if it wasn't an MMO but a proper single player FF. I can understand that it sucks for players who are looking to play a proper MMO, but to me a proper MMO is too much time investment and I can't justify as an adult to invest that kind of time into video games anymore.
Jace Howard
It'd take excess gil out of circulation and penalize the folk who own multiple plots just because they can.
Matthew Ward
e2 and 4 have really tight dps checks 1 and 3 are whatever
Alexander Lee
Nobody can tell me adding more plots isn't technically possible, and it isn't just artificial scarcity.
>let's take the excess of a useless currency out of the game
Jackson Bell
too bad yoshi is a jew rat FUCK who said we can never get true black mage hats with the glowing eyes and darkened face but then he ADDS THE DWARVEN HATS THAT HAVE THAT EXACT THING BUT THERES A STUPID FUCKING BEARD AND THE /VISOR DOESNT REMOVE THE BEARD IT JUST TURNS THE EYES ON AND OFF
ILL KILL YOU YOSHI YOU RAT BASTARD JAP BITCH GIVE ME MY BLACK MAGE HAT YOU FUCKING N
Connor Long
you're not wrong but, then again, it's a videogame, everything is artificial
Oliver Perry
>tfw forcing yourself to clear E1S again I don't like wiping 6 hours in row without failing any mechanics on my side. There will be no joy in clear. >no more content outside shitty savages with PF
maplestory 2 has this and it blows dick, no one owns house plots because of how shit the fucking upkeep cost is
Aaron Stewart
Each house has to be constantly be keeping track of each item, item position, item color, airship/submarine voyage timer, crafting timers and a lot of other shit.
Kevin Rogers
t. buys a plot and leaves it empty then complains when Yoshi takes it away 6 months later
Jaxon Lee
thats a stupid fucking idea. dont ever post that again
Jose Smith
I can live with the beard desu, it'll look even funnier on lalafell.
e1s is stealing my fucking soul as DRG -- I can do everything right, 11-12k dps, and still some chucklefuck will ruin my day.
Matthew Sullivan
>it's a videogame, everything is artificial I know that, and that's beside the point here. lmao, I wouldn't buy a house in this game since it would imply I want to commit being subscribed for more than one or two months, which I never did. I only come back to do new content then unsubscribe. The only logical and feasible way to play this game.
Anthony Taylor
There's too much of it and to little too spend it on. That's the problem. The only things to cost anything worth a mention are the latest slutglams, initial house purchase and material to speed up your DoL/DoH leveling.
Easton King
i don't go to my house much but when I do there are always french people in my garden
If you are barely committed to the game why the FUCK do you care about housing then retard? Cope harder.
David Ward
He sounds like a self conscious faggot who doesn't want a buff with 'lady' in the title .
Jonathan Jackson
>Also, i call bullshit that you liked wow and hated FFXIV. They're the same thing, just done a little differently in a few areas. Not him, but I loved WoW for many years and I've also tried FFXIV and I hated the general feel of just moving around and playing your character, felt way less polished than WoW. That was a complete dealbreaker for me.
Jaxson Anderson
I find it a bit amusing how defensive you guys are acting now, and how you assume this is cope. I simply stated that there is no way it wasn't technically possible to add more plots, and the that the devs keep it scarce on purpose. So if anyone has to deal with this, they can blame the devs.
Austin Richardson
>theres no way it wasnt technically possible to add more plots you mean wards, retard. And they do. they added more last expansion. it takes time to stabilize the game for ward expansions like that without completely fucking everything up. Theres a reason they cant put the glamour dresser anywhere but inns. The fact you just want to bitch without knowing the reason why things are the way they are leads me to believe you are a shitposter mad you dont have a house.
Blake Kelly
at what point did he say his job was too hard? all he said was it had a bunch of buttons that did the same thing
Hudson Reyes
>SE refuses to put actual relevant shit on the job gauge >have to use 3rd party programs to do it thanks yoshi
1.0 spaghetti code is literally the reason why. We can't have glamour dressers anywhere multiple players can go at once because of how the glamour dresser loads shit. Everything is a bandaid solution and most minor changes will actually fuck the servers. But bitch about not being able to have a house and spout WELL I DIDNT WANT ONE ANYWAY when someone calls you out.
Robert Reyes
It can be implied that he is complaining about difficulty when he is outright complaining about the amount of buttons. None of the buttons do the same thing. To say this shows you have a base misunderstanding of your job and/or do not read tooltips. In which case you should fuck off back to wherever you came from.
Daniel Rivera
a good way to tell if someone is a retard is if they use /sh instead of /a in alliance raids
Kevin Young
And I'm saying that these reasons are bullshit excuses by incompetent lazy devs at best, straight lies to maintain scarcity at worst. Why you are being so mad and hostile is beyond me though.
Matthew Wood
Jesus christ you guys are mad. You aren't allowed to comment on something without being absolutely commited and involved on one side in a percieved narrative in your minds? Could it be that you are actually afraid that if more wards or plots or whatevers were available then your houses would be worth less?
Liam Jackson
>And I'm saying that these reasons are bullshit excuses by incompetent lazy devs at best Cool so you know nothing about the history of this game, how its engine works, or any multitude of factors that cause the housing to be the way it is. >Why you are being so mad and hostile is beyond me though. Because you are being a fucking idiot that is posting idiotic things and if you spent 5 minutes reading up on the reason why things are the way they are, you would realize how much of an idiot you come across as. Educate yourself, you dumbfuck. If you're too lazy for that, maybe read this post by this user to understand why they cant "just add more wards and houses lmoa". There is a reason they cant just fucking do that.
Why would it matter what the value of a fucking home is? Are you mentally well? They cant be fucking sold you troglodytic niggerspawn. Houses have no innate value. Gil is a worthless currency. Fuck you are stupid.
Juan Brooks
All your angry post is based on taking what the devs say at face value. You haven't seen the sphagetti code. You are not a developer. You didn't work on this so you have no perspective on how hard it actually is. You only know what the devs told you.
And I'm saying what the devs are saying is most likely bullshit. I can "educate" myself by reading what they said, but it still doesn't mean I have to take it at face value like you did. You clearly have some personal stake in this at this point if it made you this mad.
Then explain to me why you are being this autistically mad shouting insults at me instead if keeping it civil? Which parts of my statements made you feel so hurt that you have to be like this?
Asher Reed
>server tick meter (the bar) >Earth's Reply icon >Twin Snakes icon (appears when TS falls off) >Leaden Fist icon (appears when you have LF) And I actually need all this shit. The timer is for knowing when to hit Dragon Kick while channeling Anatman in the opener, the icons are necessary because otherwise I have to visually dig through my list of 50 buffs in the middle of dodging random shit in savage to see the actually important ones. Especially now that the rotation doesn't just alternate betweek DK+TS and bootshine+snap anymore.
>you havent seen the spaghetti code You are a retard. They changed 1.0 to what it is now, to think that would not cause spaghetti code when it is well documented is outright retardation >You are not a developer. You didnt work on this so you have no perspective on how hard it actually is And you are? You just defeated your own argument you retard lmao. If only developers have perspective on how things are and the developers are saying its a problem, what is your point? What perspective do you have to just petulantly scream "NO YOURE LYING REEE" without cause? I have no personal stake, your stupidity is just intensely grating.
Nolan Gonzalez
I hate this. Why we can manually change what buffs you want to see and WHERE? Only all or nothing
Nolan Murphy
BLM because it’s the best class in the game.
Kayden Lopez
>be retarded >get called a retard >WHY ARE YOU HOSTILE AND MAD ok retard
>b-be civil >theres no need for insulting my intelligence when I post like a sub room temperature IQ individual >be nice to me while I shit talk devs who took a dumpster fire and fixed it up with minimal funding and turned it into a decent and actually functional game Fuck you lmao. I've no obligation to treat retards with civility. If insults hurt you maybe a different website is more your speed.
>Darkside gauge which is just two timers one of which you don't need to see and the other of which you cannot possibly drop >no Eye gauge that warriors actually have to track How are these niggas so unbelievably dumb
Luke Watson
>They changed 1.0 to what it is now, to think that would not cause spaghetti code when it is well documented is outright retardation. Oh god, if had some semblance of reading comprehension, then you would have understood that it's not the existence of the sphagetti code is what I question, but how bad it actually is. Hence, "you haven't seen the sphagetti code". In any case, this reply pretty much confirmed to me that I'm wasting my time expecting an intelligent conversation with someone who can't even read, lmao.
Keep being mad for...whatever reason?
Jose Kelly
Ahh so insulting the devs hurt you. Sorry for hurting someone else's feelings who aren't even here? Awfully nice of you to get mad on their behalves.
When you accuse people who actually work pretty fucking hard on things of lying with absolutely zero evidence or credibility to back it up you are a fucking faggot. End of story. It is really that simple.
I'm accusing them because there is simply no way it's not possible. They are just shit.
Robert Hall
Sounds like a shitty game for trannies and weirdos
For me, it's Classic WoW and nothing else.
Adrian Taylor
[citation needed] You have already destroyed your own argument with your own posts several times over so if you think you are saying anything interesting or groundbreaking each time you shit out letters into the quick reply post box you are heavily mistaken.

>p-please think of the poor devs >s-sphagetti code you see >they really want to do well but you see it's muh 1.0 and sphagetti code please understand, you can't expect anything from them that takes effort :^)
To be fair, if I were the devs, I would stop putting effort into anything too, if that convenient excuse was always there to fall back to, and there are even people online defending me too in my lazyness.
I don't know how I feel about being rooted in place.
Jaxon Hill
nice ad hominem. please explain why, after stating only game developers or people who have worked on the project have perspective on how hard it actually is to work with the code, you are suddenly qualified to make all your posts, accusations, and statements?
Nolan Ramirez
u might regret this when ull wipe on 0.1% enrage
Parker Williams
>Add more plots/wards >Servers stabilize >Plots/Wards soon become barren
Though it would be funny if something like that event in mateus happened again.
Jaxon Allen
If you knew anything about 1.0 you would know how huge of an accomplishment it is that they have taken the game as far as they have currently. Let alone where they intend to go with it. The game gets quality of life improvements almost every patch, stop being a salty bitch.
Tyler Martin
It won’t matter when you’ll be pulling the highest dps all the time
Aaron Turner
black mage has more movement options than red mage.
Sorry sweaty, MNK is the new top DPS Don't worry, you can hang out with DRG in the "didn't quite make it" corner
Austin Perez
Most of the progress goups did not use them though.
Carter Long
black mage is not for prog. its for clears and farming.
Benjamin Young
I know it's a huge accomplishment, still don't see why it excuses them. If the code is hard to work with, then do something about it, it's their code. The truth is that they just don't give a fuck.
