which class skill is that for

As long as you're doing your opener right and maximizing your uptime you will improve. What are you playing?

You guys must been getting some pretty bad luck, every time i run any of the SB 24-man raids is smooth sailing

MCH. I've been doing the 'fast wildfire' opener and seem to have it down, just trip up every now and then with a mistimed drill/letting air anchor go a bit too long. i don't really care about the number as much as i do pulling my own weight in the party.

i mean I can't even get a party for it. duty finder never pops.

As a long time player i actually really hate how content is progressively pseudo-removed from the game by having mechanics being ignorable. And i'm not even talking stricly about the ARR 24-men raids (although it also applies to them), if you think about it every single Alexander fight basically does not exist in the game anymore, with the exceptions of A11 and A12. I ran Brute Justice on the roulette today and it was so fucking lame, he died before the music hit the chorus. It makes me feel so bad for the new players who will never get to experience this content at its reasonably difficult but not frustrating setting as i did back when it released. If i had my way all fights in the game would be Ilvl synced to the max gear level you could have at the patch they released in. People are extremely obcessed with facerolling everything to get currency but actually playing the game is also fun, at least i'd like to believe so.

why would you suggest this when trusts have made it a singleplayer experience
>hurr i meant a private server

Blame the quadruple niggers who unequip all of their gear to force the queue to throw them in LotA every single day

Well damn I have no MCH experience so I have nothing to help you with. Good luck

It depends a lot on what you're playing and how well geared are you.
Grey is pretty bad no matter what, but greens are fine if you're under-geared. Just make sure to check the opener for your class, that's always the best starting spot to see if you're doing anything wrong.

You DID play through the story as a DRK right?

Attached: EBOR6aIUcAA6dCf.jpg (987x1400, 223K)

Of course I did. Fray is my nigga.

No because that makes no sense. I did it as a Paladin which is the proper job for shadowbringers MSQ.

i-imagine if she took a huge turd on your face haha

I did it as a WARRIOR of darkness

>Giving Archage a run for it's money
It's truly a spectacle.

I did it as MNK because it's our expansion.

He posts it every thread.

Okay, I need some advice here about what to play. I am currently going through the MSQ and am using a MCH which is "fun," but consistently feels bad at 85ms - I have to dump everything as soon as possible and can only single weave two oGCDs with Wildfire to consistently hit 5.

I've played BLM and liked it, but it feels very awkward when you are constantly being hit with new dungeons/trials, and SMN has felt bad since the ShB changes.

I don't really want to touch DRG or RDM, and I wish there was something similar to Spriests or Afflic Locks in WoW (aside from SMN) as I mained Spriest for nearly 10 years.

If you're looking for something to play with higher MS, MNK and BRD do not have OGCD weaving like the other DPS do and they're both quite good right now

i wish it had a nod to it.
i mean come on THEY EVEN HAD THE SAME WRITER.

why won't the fucking mods catch on to these fake OP where they pretend to be a new player but they're just trying to create a /vg/ thread in the wrong place

At least it’s not as bad as MHW players trying Behemoth. I hear Behemoth EX has one of the lowest clear rates.

Are you retarded? Paladin was the first job I leveled since I joined the game, I played through all of ARR as a sprout playing paladin

What the fuck do you even mean by this, retard

You literally never use darkness at any point, in fact the whole expansion is about your blessing of light.

YOU ABSORB LIGHT
you ain't using darkness or anything nigga

Not him but get fucked metafag I was a PLD even before it was good back in HW.

why are xiv posters so angry like god damn. xivg isn't this mad but they get replaced with literal faggots.

You, as the one with the blessing of light, absorb and contain the light then use it to murder Solus/emet-selch's fucking soul

No you're basically a lightfag all the way through. Even when restoring "darkness" to the land you only do so with the power of light. And you even defeat the final boss with the power of light as well.

Yeah Behemoth EX in World is fucking murder, pugging the normal/story mode alone is absolute hell because people keep trying to play it like they're solo. It gives you fair warning, multiple times, that you need somebody to tank it to keep its bullshit mitigated, somebody to heal everyone, and two hunters dedicated to pure damage, and even makes it easier on everyone by increasing Behemoth's enmity-generation on the weapon-types that can shield.

SOOOOOOURCE

When Urianger is talking about the Umbral and Astral polarities, he keys you in that in the first, Astral is darkness, which is active, and Umbral is light, which is passive. Vauthry was a plant by the Ascian's to turn everyone into lazy, passive assholes in order to facilitate (or at least speed up) the rejoining by tipping the scales overwhelmingly to the Umbral polarity. Your actions against the first lightwarden forced Vauthry to spring into action, which in turn delayed the calamity long enough in order to accomplish the events of the game.

It's unfortunate but it's the way games are designed around people getting their dopamine hits. Always gotta be doing the roulettes to get that sweet reward hit, can't be "wasting" your time doing other things that don't give overt rewards. No real sense of actually enjoying the present time in the game, just constantly scurrying towards getting your character geared out in whatever tomestone/raid drop full set and then once that's done you drop the game till next expansion and never really use the gear you spent tens to hundreds of hours working towards. You never once stop to enjoy any fruits of your labours. How artificial.

honestly if you're trying to pug savage to a clear then you should just look up everyone you party with on fflogs and if they're all or majority grey in the previous fight then just leave.

get a second monitor

Either learn or get the beginners version of sheet music that writes what the note is alongside the marks

Is it just on the first where that is the case? It seems like it's that the source was mistaken and darkness always is active while light always is passive.

Use the first stage of the HW BLM relic for your weapon.

PLD
DRK
NIN
DRG

That problem was acknowledged and fixed years and multiple expansions ago.

What's the most fun tank?
My definition of a fun class includes having different mechanics to juggle with some depth. So like AST with card system and the heals. I don't want the most braindead one (like WHM)

When the Telegraph ends, you're locked in to be hit even if the animation of the attack comes out a second later.
It's frustrating at first but you adjust. The real difference is you get a half second or so to contemplate your death before it actually happens

Yeah that'll help, also look for sheet music like this, its what I was talking about

I got into the expansion late and honestly while i do want to do the EX primals i just know that whatever learning parties are still left in crystal are sure to make me lose my faith in humanity

It was lessened, but it still happens.

None of them are especially complicated (the most complicated is Gunbreaker which is roughly as complicated as Dragoon), play DPS if you want a class with lots going on.

All tanks play like very simple DPS jobs, akin to Dancer or RDM

Paladin is braindead easy and more of a support tank last I played it.

Warrior is basically an unkillable death machine assuming you play it right.

Haven't touched DRK or Breaker at all yet.

So whats up with titan lasting longer or shorter depending on the type of instance?

How the fuck is Gunbreaker as complex as DRG? Don't get me wrong, DRG isn't rocket science but GNB is just as brainded as the other tanks

what are you talking about? There is no "got into it late"

Moogle weapon

PLD = set but long rotation, some flexibility to recover from wipes with stuff like Cover/Clemency
WAR = ungabunga
DRK = ungabunga but TBN
GNB = set and short rotation, retards will tell you it's complex because Continuation gives you slightly higher APM every now and then

some of his moves are based on server tick so if you're lucky then you get an extra few seconds tll enrage. if you're unlucky then its the opposite where you lose time.

Oh but there is my friend. If you don't clear a primal in the first two weeks in PF all you're left with are the absolutely worst players in the entire game and/or late joiners

>Is it just on the first where that is the case?
It applies to both the first and the source. Urianger just happened to make the connection due to the differences in naming conventions.

It doesn't. Conventional latency still happens.

Good to know. It was always annoying during the Ifrit fight getting knocked off the platform and looking like an idiot even though I ran out of the telegraph before it finished casting.

how do I improve?

Do people use a Deadly Boss Mods equivalent in FFXIV where you get an overlay announcing each boss attack in sequence or are we supposed to nut up and remember the whole fight each fight
Or, like, take notes

That sounds really amateur. You'd think a big company like SE wouldn't have these sort of shenanigans.

As a Dragoon I am offended

That's true of every instance, it's always been a weird thing in this game. Occasionally you will get a noticeably slow instance.

>nut up and remember the whole fight each fight
>Or, like, take notes
Yes, fag

GNB's complexity is mainly in optimizing its own damage which is effectively just shoving everything into No Mercy's window, has two DoTs to keep track of (one of which is on GCD despite recast timer) and can slam up to five bullets in a row if the last hit of your normal combo is available. GNB's APM roughly matches DRG's and the job overall is about as complicated.
DRG is baseline in complexity. GNB is complicated for a tank but average-low for a DPS.

People usually just remember the whole fight, addon users do exist but they're very uncommon

doing the opener correctly? maintaning uptime? not dying?

FFXIV was built in a box by cats it's a miracle it works as well as it does

Not at all. You are the only one who can kill Lightwardens because you have Hydaelyn's blessing that makes you immune to their control and instead you absorb their light. It's called Shadowbringers because after you absorb the light the night sky is visible. That's the only connection to darkness there is. Basically ShB is just ARR but replace Primals with Wardens and WoL with WoD.

People who claim it is the greatest story in an MMO are just going off the shock of the last minute reveal and blowing it out of proportion because it is delivered by the most charismatic character in the cast. All story before level 80 is dull as fuck.

It's still fun to play through though, very reminiscent of FFIX and plenty of nice looking zones, great music and some amazing dungeons.

Actually this type of thing has been in the game for a long time. It's only people noticing it now. For example during the tether phase in Nidhogg EX there's a chance for the server tick to fuck you over when it comes to passing it. Same deal with O7S. SAM's Meditate skill also works based on server tick so there's a chance you get a stack in half a second or you have to wait the full 3 seconds.

>All story before level 80 is dull as fuck.
Nah, the level 70-71 stuff is also good, because it sets up nice potential and it's before they turn out to just repeat the same scenario in each zone.

They do, but only slightly and in a vacuum. It'll get buffed.

If your not a brainlet, I'm guessing yeah.

Depends on your tastes.

>I'm honestly confused on what you're asking for.

I have music I would like to learn how to play ingame but I can't translate proper sheet music to the in-game keys that the game uses, because I can't read sheet music. I was wondering if there was a way to convert these complex music sheets into something that I could read

OR

I was wondering what peoples general process for going about learning how to play music ingame was.

>Going to be a PAIN IN THE FUCKING ASS doing it on the keyboard if you don't have a midi controller.

I'll see how painful it is but I can remap all my keys and I've noticed that you can't actually hold more than 1 note at once with the bards perform, so hopefully not that painful.

Yeah that's pretty cool, I'll keep an eye out if they're keyed like that.

>Look around for the notes. Then write out in a notepad not the notes but rather your hotkeys to notes.

This seems to be the best thing to end up with.

>Playing the PLD quest and shitting all over SAMfags like you
Probably one of the best jobquests.

Bite me

learn to read sheet music, it's not fucking rocket science and should not take more than a day or two

This is what I like when games give you reasons to actually develop yourself like this, even something as minuscule as learning sheet music. Can't believe there was some ungabungamax actually recommending to download some program that would play the songs for you. Something seriously wrong with this.

Can you arrange your keyboard to have inputs analogous to the piano setup of the instruments?

Attached: 1558760259695.jpg (385x367, 15K)

BLU

Those "triangles" are the Umbral and Astral polarities. In BLM's case, you use Astral which is active (fire and lightning), to blow shit up, and Umbral which is passive (ice), in order to regenerate mana.

I am
But all the outfits and most of the weapons are shitty desu

user....learning to play notes on your keyboard wouldn't translate well to playing on an actual keyboard.

don't be a smart ass. i'm happy you're encouraged to learn but you got to understand it not the same thing.

Not sure, how many notes total is there? 32? It's eight by the four modifier keys, right?

reading sheet music is a separate skill from playing an instrument, and a much simpler one, if you can read sheet music you can work out how to play a song on any instrument which yes includes ff14's shitty keyboard, you are overcomplicating the problem

>All story before level 80 is dull as fuck.

You're transported magically to a strange new world locked in a post-apocalyptic brink of destruction under horrifying monsters that are born from twisted and terrifying rebirths of their victims. The very first boss and dungeon has you avenge a scion's dear friend who was transformed by said monsters and return night to a realm that had not seen it in a hundred years.

In Stormblood the first dungeon takes place because your ship got stuck and you beat up a bunch of spooky spooky ghosts ooooOoooOOOOoo with absolutely zero relevance to the story beyond keeping you from getting to where the story needs to go. I don't even remember the first HW dungeon but compare it to ARR, HW or SB and SHB's story is always better. We just have to see if it's better or worse in the patches.

Where they fucked up is having none of the light wardens but Titania and Innocence have any kind of storytelling purpose. Despite telling us how "If you kill a light warden they will possess the next closest person in proximity", we get these mindless purposeless light-demons. They missed the chance to do some good storytelling here - say, the Rak'tika lightwarden is a fallen Vii chieftainess or was some immortal animal-spirit guardian of the Ronkan empire or was the mummifed last emperor of Ronka who rose when his land needed him but sadly his victory against the lightwarden was his undoing.

>Nah just fight a giant three headed dog lol

was never said, just the mere fact of learning how to read and interpret simple sheet music.

you just said there's something wrong with people recommending you to use a program.

not everything has to be connected, your suggestion for Eros (rak'tika lightwarden) is just Titania 2.0

It's extremely unlikely. It's not that well-known or popular and it has deeply nested rights issues between S-E and Bandai Namco. It was a big deal that Nomura got the OK to contribute character designs to Xenoblade.

I'm sorry.

It's a lazy mindset and I'm reminded of that one screencap of a Yea Forums post long ago about how "convenience" leads to the death of MMORPGs, something was written in how if an MMORPG was perfectly convenient that it would just be a program that completes in 5 seconds and tells you "Congratulations! You won MapleStory!".

It's also a suggestion where I just have the ask, what are you even doing? Like you're here getting a computer program to play the game for you when you have the chance to develop yourself.

You are describing a setting. The setting is cool but they do nothing meaningful with it, as you realized yourself on your third paragraph. That's why the story is dull. It doesn't live to the potential of the setting.

And not sure why you are going off about Stormblood. Just because ShB story is dull doesn't mean I would consider SB better. SB MSQ was just as bad.

You're welcome to quote where I said that they do.

For me it's
>is this person a nice guy or a total raging autist?
That ultimately decides it.

thanks everyone! ^^ i know I screwed up a lot but i'll try better for next time!
>wins loot

would you get mad?

Finally got 80 on my crafters. What do I do now? Is crafter BIS the pentamelded 430 crafted gear? Will I need the white scrip gear to craft it anyway?

If you truly have a fight on farm it's generally pretty obvious when others in a party don't.

No. The raging autist brings down morale for everyone and increases the likelihood that someone will leave.
A chill person doesn't contribute to a negative environment and has the potential to improve it which is essential to clear any hard content with randumbs.

how do i make gil, bros? every suggestion i've read online sells for pennies on malboro

anyone got any requests? i don't mind taking a shot at some songs. recently made a song off yume miru kusuri but sadly i bet no one in game will recognize it. (it's still a bit rusty)

>get mad
I'll have silent distaste for that person. If you died repeatedly and didn't pull your weight you should pass loot.

a setting is a backdrop, it doesnt need to be good to have a good story. and in my opinion Shadowbringers story is perfectly serviceable at its worst, and pretty great at its best. at its core it's a character study going over the Scions' arcs through the five Grecian types of love. once that's over, we get to Amaurot, which is sorta where the "official" Shadowbringers ends for me, and the Final Fantasy XIV plot continues. it's kinda like when Heavensward "ends" in 3.3 and everything after that is more ARR/Stormblood than anything else.

Find something that sells on malboro?

I did it in the most fucked-up way imaginable. I wanted to go through the story step-by-step with my sister, but she was busier with work so wasn't able to play as often. So in the time I was waiting for her to be available I simultaneously leveled all four tanks, White Mage, and Dragoon to the max level of the last dungeon we unlocked (i.e. 77 for Ravel). So I did all of the dungeons as a White Mage (because she plays Warrior) but all of the trials as a Dark Knight.

Welcome to every MMO endgame ever. Now you know why I quit in 3.4

Not only do you fucking autistic faggots cry about every single class not having an exactly identical maximal DPS output (gotta have everything generically banded together for the sake of BALANCE in your PvE MMORPG, right?) you also complain about the playerbase also not being on the same level.

>it doesnt need to be good to have a good story
Definitely agree. HW setting wasn't anything special but the story was beyond expectations to me.

Overall you have the right of it. Serviceable is a good way to describe it. As for the Scions we have already explored their characters and seen their developments throughout the MSQ, I don't think ShB was too much of a study of them but rather Thancred's new role and an introduction of Ryne, which both were great, but the rest of what you said I think is spot on. ShB would be a great stand alone FF game. But that's my problem. I'm playing FFXIV and that's what I expected to get, instead I found 9 levels of filler before coming back to the real plot.

crafted gear is BiS the week it's introduced but quickly falls out of favor when you start getting tome and raid gear, unless the secondaries on those gear are horrendous compared to crafted

the 80 gear is cheaper because more people are pushing lvl80 gear and there's competition to undercut, less people put up 78 gear because less people get the 78 gear as a stopgap before reaching 80

or at least that was what i surmised when i was leveling my gatherers and looked at the market board for gear

Like fucking pottery. There's no more to be said here, good night user I hope you get all the gear that makes you happy

I don't go to mental wards to debate the people in there.

It's almost always the best pre-raid gear because of the ability to overmeld, and for some classes it remains BiS even after because of stat allocation. SMN for example is a fucking pain in the ass to gear for because BLM and RDM want spell speed but spell speed is literally detrimental to your rotation for SMN so you'll have about half the gear options other classes get.

I think my main issue with story in SHB was the entire section of the Greatwoods. Y'shtola is not interesting and it doesn't fit at all with the Grecian love theme implied by the Lightwarden, unless you buy into the whole "she's been fucking Runar" thing, something that they never properly confirmed probably correctly in fear of backlash. Meanwhile Amh Araeng and Il Mheg were the best for their arcs, as was the second half of Kholusia. Amaurot was on its own level, I think everyone agrees, especially the moment where you think the first ancient is gonna be an enemy, but instead he regards you like a group of lost children. It's just right, in every sense.

FGO has a massive amount of activity, and it's technically two different games.

How much did it cost you?

What about the PVP one?

is there any reason to do guildhest? I never unlocked the ones past level 20

WoW came out before XIV, what do you expect me to do?

How would one go about making this much as a newer player?

PVP one doesn't give bonus exp I believe but it'd be between Trial Duty and Normal Raid Duty.

At relevant levels they give decent exp and are really quick to do. After that the only reason to ever do more is if you didn't get the achievement leveling all other classes and want it for some reason.

Frontline Duty is weird because the daily exp isn't actually that great but the exp overall is actually good enough to spam it (assuming you're in a good DC for it where the queues ain't shit).

Uh...you cant, sorry, its a high level craft.

this needs to be adjusted for exp over time

It's a single player, story driven MMO. It's as worth getting into as Old Republic or any other MMO these days. That is, you play 90% of the game by yourself.

It's really sad, because FFXIV has an amazing world, music and atmosphere. Probably the best in all of FF. And the jobs/combat are pretty good too. But it's stuck in an MMO. And the only motivation to keep playing is a really shit story and end game gear grinding (which the gear becomes obsolete each update like every other MMO).

I'd say its worth playing if you really want to experience the music/world design. But otherwise, no. This is from someone who played through Stormblood, leveled 5 jobs to max and a second character with 3 more jobs to max. If the game allowed me to just grind enemies in the field, I'd probably still be playing. But grinding dungeons, raids and PotD is shit.

This game is fucking flooded with bots. This is the kind of shit you'd expect in some F2P MMORPG but holy fuck the sheer amount of bots in this game. Not even talking about the RMT spamming bots, but the bots that go through the entire fucking MSQ, teleporting around maps and killing MSQ required quest mobs they also cause entire fucking zones to get instanced because there's so many of them

HOW THE FUCK IS THIS ALLOWED?

And then you get the gathering bots, players running gathering bots just endlessly gathering materials to dump onto the marketboard, never getting banned, it's incredible.

Yes. A really shit story. It's every cliche Final Fantasy already did, combined together under the guise of "homage." But the story also suffers because of the limitations of an MMO. That is, having to trigger cutscenes with quest events. And then the fact that you have cutscenes in a multiplayer game is just as stupid as it was in Old Republic. No one wants to spend the time watching the cutscene, but half of them trigger in a dungeon or group event. You either miss the story scenes, or watch them and piss everyone else off. It's just stupid to make a story driven MMO, Final Fantasy or not.

I wonder how they could have handled eros love in the common view not that platonic view better. There's no erotic love among the scions but judging from the short story for the WoL by Yshtola and Alisaie. But it would feel rather forced and sudden if Yshtola was torn up and romantically earnest to the WoL over how the light was tearing the WoL's aether apart.

You could make it the eros love of the hrothgar not reciprocated by Yshtola's love of knowledge (what term would that be) or philia love of her friends. Since the agape (Wiki at least says it could be the love to children or a spouse) of Kholusia was shown either in Innocence (love of god) or the cat couple (love of spouse) or even in the Exarch (Whose hero worship borders on the religious)

I knew some dumb nigger would say this. The banning in waves things is just for looking like they're actually doing something. This banning in waves things doesn't affect the bots teleporting through zones and being a massive eyesore. I'm convinced those banned accounts are actually all the accounts bought through stolen/fraudulent credit credits and have already dumped all their gil onto their master accounts for RMT selling.

They also don't ban gathering bots.

can you guys maybe try being creative then or at least slightly original to some degree? wtf people used to make new words and create new images, this culture of just recycling and redefining and remaking old shit is getting tiresome as hell, not just with language but with movies and games too. i'm starving for an original thought

DNC genuinely wanted to play it. NIN is a slave to the meta and is constantly switching to whatever he thinks is the best.

Lewis' version of Eros I don't think applies, he treats the lustful aspect of it as "Venus" and Eros to him is being in love and all the negative or positive connotations thereof. Runar's love for Y'shtola is platonic or familial unless they reveal in future chapters that Y'shtola's been getting a dose of vitamin Runar once in a while, but I doubt that since he's too childish in the head, he follows her like a puppy and she shot down Magnai who actually was interested in her because he's mistaking interest/a crush for soulmate-at-first-sight.

Read this very carefully:
>It's every cliche Final Fantasy already did, combined together under the guise of "homage."
I didn't list out every dumb plot point because it would go well beyond the post limit. But here's some highlights.

-The Scions are the most pathetic rebellion in history, led by the worst leader in FF history (possibly all of gaming). How am I suppose to care about this movement when everyone is so incompetent and they keep faking deaths like FFIV?
-The main villains in ARR are basically the Mighty Morphan Magitek Rangers and can't be taken seriously at all. Would be fine if the story played them off as a joke to start and built up to being a threat. But they act like they're serious the whole time. The final fight was cool, but that had nothing to do with story and everything to do with the Esper you fight/unique Magitek environment.
-Stormblood sets up this big story about four warring elf houses...then you only follow the story of one house. The rest of the expansion is about dragons, FF1 references and Chrono references, which were all more interesting than Ishgard.
-I literally cannot tell you what happened in Stormblood because I can't remember, it was so boring. I quit the game halfway through Stormblood.

Random-generated dungeons with dungeon-specific items to use in it.

so basically there is no way to get around spending a bunch of money teleporting everywhere and it's going to be tedious runabouts no matter what until at least lv15 with every new class

Check the forums, there's a few threads up complaining about this. Players have been reporting known gatherers in the wild for MONTHS, multiple reports, and absolutely nada.

This user probably does and has the right of it, unless you admit to it you won't ever actually get banned. And even if you do get 'banned' it'll at most be a 1 day suspension.

>Yea man why doesn't square just fix this problem that has been in MMOs since their very inception and hasn't ever been fixed or come close to a realistic solution. Cmon square wtf?!?

Apparently the STF team in XIV responsible for handling these matters consists entirely of four people. Four people IN JAPAN. MMORPGs handled these problems by having GAMEMASTERS do investigations into it, I remember in old school Tibia one gamemaster sicced a cyclops on some fishing bot that kept automatically responding to him "i'm sorry im busy pls leave me alone", then asked him if he wanted help.

XIV has a massive bot problem and willfully turns a blind eye to it.

There's no way MNK will maintain that output for another patch. It's going to get BlizzardBalanced to hell and back soon.

Cleared the second fight tonight.

yeah I wouldn't bother leveling alt classes that early or you'll burn out real fast.

so your PotD (and HoH) levels are only applicable in PotD. Your special weapon/armor functions the same way. You gain outside PotD experience for completing a set of 10 lvls.

You progress through the different random dungeons with a boss every 10 lvls. Special items do special things.

Fuck, Marry, Kill

Y'shtola, Alisaie and Ryne

so basically what matters is getting ten levels at a time and that's how you get the benefits outside of it. gotcha

I used that mod briefly and while it's nice nobody else sees it and it doesn't address the problem I have and am complaining about. The Viera gear dyes like SHIT and the top part of it is extremely half-assed just like the whole race.

I wonder if there was a class that was fun in ARR in retrospect. There's still some awful classes for levelcapped content. DRG is abomination at low level because of your AOEs. Sorry I meant AOE, because you get 1 GCD AOE until fucking level 62 then it's 2 until level 72. Meanwhile monk gets three fucking AOEs at level 50, and SAM gets their three bread and butter AOE abilities by level 50 too. Given the bulk of content you do down-scaled now is dungeons rather than trials it's agony for a DRG

>tumblr art style
you need to go back.

Fuck Yshtola
Marry Alisai
Kill Ryne

It's basically a kind of dungeon where you clear ten floors, the last of which has a boss, beating the boss will reward you with a bunch of experience outside of PotD. This goes all the way up to floor 100 (so 10 "dungeons" in total) before you need to start re-doing the same shit, and there's later optional challenges for floors 100-200 that are not for casual play.

>I wonder if there was a class that was fun in ARR in retrospect.

I'm having a fucking amazing time as archer/bard with this fucking unlimited TP multi-shot/knock arrow or whatever it's called.

Yeah what the other user said.
Note that you can reset your level and start over at floor 1/51, but your gear will stay with the same bonuses, making it easier to push higher levels.

I try to solo PotD for fun. It's challenging

I think Monk is the only class they got right directly out of the gate. Every other job has gotten massive reworks, but Monk has always remained pretty much the same.

I'm a casual player and I've been enjoying 100-200 recently, it's actually quite fun how you need to just start taking your time and being careful, would definitely recommend doing this. You need to be a preformed party to get into levels 100-200 though, but just use the partyfinder to pickup some people.

SCH was the best class in ARR hands down. Interesting dps rotation and healing mechanics that had a ton of room for min-maxing shit, fun toolkit that wasn't just spamming the same spell over and over, interesting stance switching mechanic that rewards thinking ahead and good play.

The class these days is a complete abomination suffering from getting their skillset pruned literally every expansion now and getting nothing in return.

I always open it with "the shit we do for exp huh". Fight me bitch nigga you won't.

You can do it as a casual player, but it takes a long time, some decent prep and a bunch of trial and error if you're not reading up on things before going and there's no checkpoints. It's something you have to commit some serious effort to, hence it's not really casual play.

>Nice reading comprehension faggot, they are not a rebellion, and their sole purpose is keeping primals in check.
Halfway through ARR, they take on a second purpose to unite the three nations against the upcoming Garlean Empire invasion. Which you as the hero uncover. The Empire soldiers consider the Scions rebels and call them that in cutscenes. Even if the Scions don't consider themselves that. All this, plus Milfillia's inept guidance, role in the story and character design, are clearly an homage to the main plot in Final Fantasy 2. They even put some FF2 music in ARR, if you needed the extra hint.

>What the actual fuck are you even on about here? Even if this where accurate (and lmao, no) how does this relate to your claim that "It's every cliche Final Fantasy already did"? You cannot even remain consistent for a fucking paragraph you lemming.
Soldiers who infuse themselves with the power of magic drained from espers. They even ride on top of Magitek armor like in FFVI. Wear gear inspired from Final Fantasy IV. Use gunblades like Final Fantasy VIII. Then die in a typical shounen fashion like so many FF characters before them. Do I really need to spell every little homage out to you?

>First off you're talking about Heavensward
I corrected myself above.

>second you get a fuckton of information about all four houses
I only remember getting info on the houe you help and their main rival. Which barely has anything going on after you thwart the one plan. Please do point out examples of how the other two houses get any coverage.

>the story was ALWAYS about fucking dragons since ARR.
Dragons were mentioned, but ARR didn't really feature them except one dungeon boss and I guess Ultima if you want to stretch that to be a "dragon." Again, feel free to correct me. But simply saying "lol you're wrong and stupid" is not an example. I'm the one writing out all the examples.

any dicking? i've seen this pic before and it's great but i want the dicking

I'd still say Warrior was great in ARR, even if HW was objectively better and more fun in every single way. Ninja and Monk, too.

Really, though, the problem with looking at ARR is that HW just drastically improved every single job without taking anything away. Whenever I sit to think what jobs were truly great in ARR, every single one I think of has the caveat that they were even better in HW. It feels like they added a huge, valuable mechanic to every single job that you didn't even know it needed until you had it.

>Soldiers who infuse themselves with the power of magic drained from espers. They even ride on top of Magitek armor like in FFVI. Wear gear inspired from Final Fantasy IV.

Please don't post images like that of my wife.

WHM and BRD were fun in ARR. I maxed them bth before Heavensward came out. Actually had less fun the more expansions/skills came out. BRD at level 50 was near perfect to me in rotation. Adding a bunch more skills just made it tedious. And I was able to macro all the skills and no one even noticed the 2 second slow down.

I don't care about either but it is pretty stupid when some moralfag comes into a thread to falseflag like "I heard some reviewer had to delete his video because FFXIV fans sent him death threats"
I mean does this site look like tumblr/twitter socjus central?? Who's gonna give a shit.

To encourage you not to use it. Seriously, do not use the Viera racial gear or bikinis, and you automatically becoming the most interesting character in the room.

Which is even worse because Twitter is hard to browse for pictures, I feel like an old person trying to fiddle with technology trying to use it.

how do bots interfere with your gameplay?

Just because Garleans are too retarded to know what a rebel is doesn't give you an excuse.

Same shit happened with tumblr man, these social media sites ain't made for sharing pics but artists just love to upload solely to them, because sites like pixiv and deviantart are 90% shit thanks to their frontloading of endless trash. Pixiv in general is just fucking ancient.

Nope, that's Alphinaud, not a scion, and your purposes are explicitly kept separate. You're just digging the hole deeper here user, proving that the problem isn't the story, but your childish inability to comprehend what it tells you.
>The Empire soldiers consider the Scions rebels and call them that in cutscenes.
The empire soldiers call everyone on Eorzea rebels. Again, failure of reading comprehension.
>All this, plus Milfillia's inept guidance, role in the story and character design, are clearly an homage to the main plot in Final Fantasy 2.
Now you're just grasping, just throw shit at a wall and see what sticks.

>Soldiers who infuse themselves with the power of magic drained from espers. They even ride on top of Magitek armor like in FFVI.
Magitek is a staple of Final Fantasy in general, did the name "Final Fantasy XIV" not tip you off that certain staples of the series would be present? We're you similarly appalled when you spotted a Marlboro? Seriously this is such asinine nitpicking I'm not sure reading on past this is worth it.

>Please do point out examples of how the other two houses get any coverage.
Do the side quests, specifically the crafting classes, as they give a lot of background on Ishgard. It's almost like when you ignore half the story you miss much of it.

>Dragons were mentioned, but ARR didn't really feature them except one dungeon boss and I guess Ultima if you want to stretch that to be a "dragon." Again, feel free to correct me. But simply saying "lol you're wrong and stupid" is not an example. I'm the one writing out all the examples.
ARR had you dealing with Shiva, Midgardsormr where the entire fucking plotline was about the oncoming conflict against dragons, there's an entire trial dedicated to defending Ishgard from a massive dragon attack.

>Are you getting clears? Because that's all that matters.
Maybe in a world where it's impossible to get carried, but that is not this world.

what's the difference if an autists flooded the mb compared to a bot?
