It's worse than xi.

a rotting pile of feces is better than xi

XI didn't rely on 80% of its assets being recycled from another SE property.

I have way more stories from my years in XI than that theme park. Do your clear and log out. Wow mmo of the year right there....

Which property is that?

So no.

Play 14 for the story and 11 for the gameplay, done

11 had better stories

14 is less episodic and it’s just one big story, so you play 14 for it’s large epic story with a close consistent repeated set of characters. Also, you played through 11’s story and 14 is just in the making. Just because you think 11 is better, doesn’t mean you can’t like 14 for its own reasons

14's story is literally the worst of all main titles of the franchise until about the later half of Stormblood

>Retail is a sub fee for a 15 year old game
17 year old*
And it's the reason why the game hasn't introduced cancerous Mogstation-style crap despite having multiple avenues of doing so.

What's the point of making the comparison? One of the them is dead and one isn't
Seems to me like you want to appear superior for having played a less popular game

Reminder, if you play any of the jobs below NIN, you are an active detriment to your party.

Reminder, if you play a ranged dps, you are only being brought along for the 1% main stat buff.

1.0 failed because it was coded by incompetent retards (who were possibly chinese) and released about 2 years too early because the top brass at SE were incompetent retards.

It would be better if they added Necromancer.

Funny thing is XI was supposed to have NEC until they changed it to PUP

Hyur, Mee-ko-tay, Roo-guh-deen

PUP and its relation to Alexander was more kino.

Different strokes for different folks. Although XI is like WoW classic where it’s liked purely on nostalgia. You think you want it but you actually don’t.

>XI is like WoW classic where it’s liked purely on nostalgia
No, XI is objectively a better RPG in every way. I like XIV, but it's a poor excuse for an RPG. It's an action game with co-op.

Deathflare and Akh Morn used to feel like nukes, now they feel like wet noodles

Akh Morn still feels kino but Revelation has more impact

How can you compare it something that never was? For all we know in an alternate universe shadowbringers had NEC as the WoD

I'm too intimidated by how long the anima process is to even start

Played 11 for a bit and enjoyed it but I refuse to stay subbed for a game that you largely play solo with trusts.

BLU, COR, and PUP were all extremely related to the ToAU storyline, and all NEC would have brought was a redundant connection to Arrapago that COR already had.

>Reminder, if you play a ranged dps, you are only being brought along for the 1% main stat buff.
There's a MCH in my static and he's pretty damn fucking good. On our first Titan kill he tied with a MNK and DRG and those 2 are also pretty damn good at their jobs.

It takes a very high IQ to understand Final Fantasy XIV, the nuances of the Warrior of Light nodding their head is easily lost on the layman.

Have you reached Heavensward yet? If you only played white mage, I can imagine you still being in ARR or at least the very start of HW at 56.

Also, if you are looking for depth in your offensive skills, healers are the last place you should look, especially with ShB's release. Healers only have 1 regular damage attack, one DoT, and 1-2 other moves that cause damage but tend to be oGCDs

That's a lot of buzzwords you got there user.
You should try making an actual argument next time.

DRG is pretty fun.

FFXIV is one of the rare games where this holds true. I can't blame people for dropping it though, especially during the ARR slog.

So in the new tales from the shadows, did Emet think that Varis might be a reformed soul like the WoL? Or was he just saddened because Varis's abnormal height reminded him of his people?
I wonder how much the rework will change. They are in a slightly awkward position in that they can't really change anything that has voice work without it being awkward since they changed the entire voice cast.

Currently on HWs content.
It seems all the same. I usually play healer among other MMOs/Games and it works out fine.

I tried Dark Knight and and even astrologian. Got them to about level 50, dozing off all the way.
I don't understand the appeal, but I'm trying really hard to like this game.

Why? You're all faggot trannies who hate video games anyways. There's no point. Just transition already.

>did Emet think that Varis might be a reformed soul like the WoL? Or was he just saddened because Varis's abnormal height reminded him of his people?
Emet wants to have hope for mankind, but at the same time having that hope just hurts him because he's been burned too much. Looking at Varis reminds him of Varis's father, Emet's son, who died at a very young age to illness. He had hope, and yet again it was snatched away by something nonsensical.

One of the big flaws of the game that I'll readily admit to is that classes feel really underwhelming til about 60 or 70. That's when they tend to get the hook that makes them feel different from each other.

Also it may just not be for you. I think the story gets interesting at HW, but if its not doing anything for you, you may just wanna cut your losses since the story is a major draw of the game (ignoring the slow start of ARR).

If you are looking for more challenging content, that unfortunately tends to be relegated to the endgame. Nobody runs the old hardcore content since there is little incentive to aside from glamour, and for that they generally run it unsync'd (letting them retain their current level and stats to bulldoze through it)

Well the dad couldn't have been THAT young considering he had Varis, and Varis has to be in like his 30s while Emet was ancient.

But otherwise I see you

It's true. Sliding along the ground while avoiding mechanics and looking at your cool-ass animations while you play the piano never gets old.

>Well the dad couldn't have been THAT young considering he had Varis
Yeah, the lorebook made it seem like his first son died as a child, but this story revealed that same son was the one who fathered Varis so he had to have been in his late teens at least. Still, to Emet-Selch who's been alive for tens of thousands of years, that loss must have been felt even harder.

Yea, may just cut my losses here and drop the game. It really isn't for me, but I'm not sure why it isn't. I'm a fan of the FF series, and even games like Elder Scrolls Online I find more tolerable (but still find it crappy).

Well, guess I'll continue looking for a new grindy game to look forward too.

>My XI experience
Over a decade of entertainment through a slow paced, methodical and deliberate game where communication and discussion is crucial, where I've made many friends and gained many stories from my times leveling, grinding, and farming, and where I've overcome challenges that I consider some of the most intense and rewarding in all of gaming. And now I'm experiencing it all over again since I switched to private servers, and so far it's been an incredible experience. My friends and I are all reminiscing and trying things that we never have before, and even introducing new people to XI for the first time. It's a blast.

>My XIV experience
Mash buttons in a certain order while you wait for cooldown. Wait for the Disco floor to change to a different color so you can stand over here... Okay, here's a cutscenes about these characters or whatever. Alright, here's your daily content, did you log in to get you good-boy voucher? Okay, make sure to turn it in for product placement gear. Remember all this from XI? Yeah, that was pretty cool... Oh, the only time people will ever talk to you is to scream at you or to talk about zoomer memes you don't understand...

1 add phase and there is no way to cast two gurens

>1 add phase
You're forgetting the meteors

ARR's lighting engine is shit. Not sure what the half-retarded comes from other than XIV's lack of blending between expressions (only changing them like a dipswitch when new dialog appears) being forever awkward.

XI armor design is one of my favorites.

Ok

>Mash buttons in a certain order while you wait for cooldown.
Did we play the same MMOs? Because I was hitting JAs/Nukes in a certain order while waiting on cooldowns also in XI, just at a much slower pace.

That or die of boredom as RDM keeping up Refresh/Haste rotation while getting Para->Slow->Blind up in that order before nuking/heals.

You can hit two meteors with guren? That's make sense.

why private server

11 is lightning in a bottle that can never be captured again, it's unfair to compare anything to it.

Is XI worth playing today? XIV kinda bothers me and I really like the style of XI.

>replying to XI shitposter
come on

also BLU is perfect in XIV and much better than it was in XI

I don't play SAM myself so I'm not sure, but the meteors are pretty close together.

XIV relies heavily on its dynamic lighting engine to put details into the model, so an XIV character can look either amazing or pure shit depending on the environment. it also will look overall better in motion compared to a screenshot because all of XI's detail is in the texture work which makes it more like a painting

This is why I much prefer XI/1.0's main story being strictly story, with no filler. The quest filler is just completely optional as a means of rewards/XP on the side.

Absolutely, even if you only want to experience the story it's perfectly functional as a single player game using Trusts. Make your character on Asura though because it's where the last of the population has gathered.

WoW was lightning in a bottle. XI was just a successful Japanese take on EQ1's lineage.

1.0 was perfect

>Not sure what the half-retarded comes from

They all have something really off about their models, I can't pinpoint it exactly but every race in XIV looks like they were done by someone who doesn't really know how to draw a figure but they know how to use a lot of effects in photoshop

FFXI is 100% about the endgame now.
you use Trusts to level, get your chosen gear, then join parties to farm to get the ilvl you need to do things like Dynamis2 and Ambuscade.

Also, the final story scenario quests basically requires a party of at least 4 players and 2 trusts to beat. It's impossible to solo with trusts, but worth beating since it gives huge permanent exp gain boosts.

WoW's popularity was lightning in a bottle, not the game itself. Even if FF11 used a model for something else, it took that model to magnificent ends. It can never be recreated because the community was integral.

I made a solo FC a few months ago. You can get max rank in 1 day if you did some prep. Mainly what I did was turn in gathering collectibles into yellow scripts, buy HW gathering ring with yellow scripts, turn those in at the GC for GC seals. I had a bunch of rings and a bunch of scripts and a bunch of collectibles prepared so everything went by really fast. As for the GC seals themselves, ventures and cordials are good. Maybe you're a 100% hi cordial person but I like having both normal and hi cordials depending on the situation.

Also, you can't buy a house for your FC unless it has 4 people in it.

Right but on the way to the end game I need to play with trusts since NO ONE does low level content. It would be pretty stupid to pay for a sub when the majority of my time will be spend with trusts, is there a private server with trusts?

Not him but in pre-WoW mmos, there's considered to be "Golden Age" eras.

In Everquest it was considered Velious or Planes of Power depending on who you talked to.

In FFXI Treasures is considered golden age but I've seen along of people argue for Wings.

I'm not sure what would be considered "Golden Age" for Dark Age of Camelot or Star Wars Galaxies. I've even heard some arguements for golden ages in Ultima Online and Runescape.

>Playing live.

Playing live is playing FFXI's take on the post-WoW era. There's convenience but that isn't the point. If that is what you're looking for, you might as well stick with FFXIV. Not saying that's a bad thing, but its kind of like the people who are playing WoW classic right now but are deseparetly trying to get in on all the mods that make it Not-classic especially. Kind of a bad example though, as the only things that made WOW-classic work was the community, brand recognition to non-mmorpg regulars, able to solo, and could run on toasters. It definitely wasn't the gameplay outside of soloing.

>but I've seen along of people argue for Wings.
Who the fuck would argue for WotG? It dripfed new content so fucking slowly that people were still doing primarily ToA endgame as a result.

the story quest shit doesn't require you to be in a group like ever, it was always go sneak your way to this item on the ground surrounded by high level monsters

I see it pop up a DECENT amount in various forums from official to private. I didn't like it either but its worth mentioning if people like bringing it up on a consistent basis. I don't ignore what people say solely on the idea that I think their opinions are shit.

I sometimes wonder if it's idiots that took frequent breaks, because WotG had fucking nothing to offer until late on with Sandworm HNMs (which I personally never got to see since my LS didn't widescan bot it like every other LS on my server), and the massive disappointment that was Walk of Echoes, which was so bad that they basically remade it into open content years ago because no one could figure out the triggers for the original mechanics.

Why would I want to talk to the sort of people who play FF XIV though? They're all either autistic weebs or trannies. I like the fact that this game requires minimal socialization.

I just wish we didn't have to pay a sub fee to play glorified dungeon simulator w/ the odd spattering of story. At most you buy the expansion, pay for a month, do the story within that month, and then use the 4-day free play thing they do a couple weeks after every single update to catch up on story/trials.

>Different strokes for different folks. Although XI is like WoW classic where it’s liked purely on nostalgia. You think you want it but you actually don’t.

I know I want it, which is why I play it. The game isn't dead user.

XIfags never change.
Can't able to discuss their dead game without seething about XIV 24/7.
Can't even create XI thread without bait.

Can you delete this crap so we can have an actual xiv thread?

There's not even a need for an XI Classic. It's not like the game changed dramatically on the gameplay front of things like WoW did they they redid the whole starting regions of the game four expansions in.

You just have faster XP now and AI buddies to help with the problem of dwindling population, and level-caps were removed on story fights because NO ONE liked those.

Why do FFXIV-fags hate FFXI so much? Usually they're trying to recruit endlessly for their erp sessions in other mmo threads but they don't bother in FFXI threads for some reason. Its usually just pure vitriol .

Just make XIV thread and this one will die

Generals belong on /vg/, go to your containment board.

Probably because XIV players got nothing to do but raid log and then afk the week, while XI players are always actively doing something since the lock-outs are on a per-event basis (most of which are removed by now iirc?), and the grinds are long.

Why are the bosses so simple/boring in Akademia compared to Twinning? It's like they were meant for a leveling dungeon or some shit.

I've been at this for 3 months and I've barely reached the end of SB. Granted, I did almost all the optional content which was available at any point. The optional Trial, dungeon, questchains and whatnot are pretty good. Wasting some time in the gold saucer and trying out all the classes to lvl 50-60 or above to see how they play. Taking a stroll through housing areas, talking to people and getting into Bard performance, both playing and listening. I really like Ninja but it's pretty awful because of clipping issues currently so I hope SE works on that. So far I've been playing SCH/SMN/BLM/BRD/RDM/DRG/NIN and some MCH (only started recently). Then there's glamours and all kinds of stuff, currently doing PvP grind too before the Garo event ends. There's too much to do.

I don't even know what to do next, there's too much.

amarout should have been the tome shop spot
fuck eulmore

its boring because trannyniggers made wall to wall pulling *mandatory*

>when does this game get fun?
When you start it in 2014 and thus every piece of content is of the latest expansion
Seriously though I can't imagine how much of a slog it is to start playing FFXIV in 2019, none of the jobs get to feel complete until the current level cap and everything in old expansions just gets steamrolled by level synced duty finder demigods

Then make the pulls hit hard enough to the point where you can't outgear it for a month and a bit. Healers are fucking boring in this game right now because you just mash the same AoE dps button all day while weaving offgcd heals since you don't need any more than that.

the fuck? wall pulling IS FUCKING FUN.
not when you're overgeared though.
single pulls are always boring.

Imagine being Emet-Selch in that scenario and having to be all like "damn, Women of Eorzea, you fuckin' fine, all sexy with your anthropomorphism and horrific androgynous flat asses. I would totally have sex with you, both my Ascian alias and the real me." when all he really wants to do is fuck another 800 year old Concepts researcher in his office. Like seriously imagine having to be Emet-Selch and not only be forced to exist in a sundered universe while Eorzean women flaunt their disgusting bodies in front of you, the aetherial glow barely concealing their animal features and leathery skin, and just sit there, year after year, eon after eon, while they fumble around being imperfect. Not only having to tolerate their monstrous visages but their haughty attitudes as everyone on the planet tells them they've STILL GOT IT and DAMN, POST-SUNDERING WOMEN LOOK LIKE THAT? because they're not the ones who have to sit there and watch their mannish
gremlin faces contort into types of grimaces you didn't even know existed before the Sundering. You'd been fucking nothing but a healthy diet of Amaurotine scholarettes and lissome beauties and later alleged Convocation members for your ENTIRE CAREER coming straight out of the boonies in Amaurot. You've never even seen anything this disgusting before, and now you swear you can taste the sweat that's breaking out on their dimpled stomachs as they suck it in to writhe it suggestively at you, smugly assured that you are enjoying the opportunity to bring about a Calamity to sit there and revel in their "statuesque" beauty, the beauty they worked so hard for with summoning Hydaelyn in the previous age. And then Elidibus calls for another Rejoining, and you know you could kill every single person in this Shard before the other Ascians could put you down, but you sit there and endure, because you're fucking Emet-Selch. You're not going to lose your future Ardor over this. Just bear it. Hide your face and bear it.

If only they had actual replayability or some way to keep them being relevant and challenging like WoW's Mythic+ dungeons, literally the only thing that I'd import from WoW to FFXIV.

Nice projection?

Don't worry, they'll introduce healer mount achievements in 5.1!

Anyone know how they're gonna change crafting?

look for the live letter slides

cross classing is gone, skill compression. easier to level up.

All I want is for them to make it so I don't have to fucking stand up outside of the craft menu to change to another craft class.

It was founded by Nyunkrepf. The one that was recruited by the Ascians was Aldhbhar, a guy so brutal that they began worshiping him as Rhalgr in the flesh.

Fuck off I love the ronkan fending set

. I'm hoping that with the crafting tree that is an option. That's another thing coming. You can see all the components of the craft as a tree.

Yeah, I dunno why some people want to go counter clockwise. On like anything

Feels like they are just trying to be different for the sake of saying they did it their way, not the "usual" way.

Is it even worth getting into XI now or are the servers living on bided time? I don't feel like buying an MMO that seems like it's going to shut down in like 3 months

Question in regard to retainers, do they actually rely on stats or just item level in regards to their ability to gather items?

If you knew what to do you'd probably be max level, and did quite a bit of the story.
If you're naive you'll spend the entire weekend reading guides.

upskirting during the msq instanced dungeons

Um, you can probably go and enjoy the story of the game, but you've missed the boat as to what made XI special.

Combat retainers just need item level. You can give them store bought NQ gear.
DoL retainers need gathering, so while they need good gear, they only need the main, secondary tool, chest, gloves and pants.

Thanks for the info. I've got one of each. Guess I should make a second HQ set for my miner then.

I can't wait until 5.1 saves us from this hell.

Let me understand something about Ascians and the lore.
Ascian is not an actual race, but an "achieved state".
Emet-Selch, Elidibus and Lahabrea are Amaurotians and the original Ascians.
Every other Ascian we've seen so far are ascended individuals from the fragmented races.

Correct

I know this is pasta every thread but really, I had a horrible wod experience today. None of the tanks wanted to tank I guess so all the chimeras and ninjas were running around killing people. Then we got to the first boss and still nobody turned on tank stance and we eventually wiped. What is wrong with people?

Wotg was literally toau with a shitton of quality of life shit that made the game much better to play solo.
Scholar and dancer also amongst the best designed jobs in the game, scholar especially.
Campaign battles and all the mechanics surrounding it were also interesting enough to partake in for decent rewards.
It was literally toau era ffxi but better, i can’t see why people wouldn’t want it but then again most of the purist playing in private servers think the ability to solo shit via book quests broke the game

I like fighting the Street Sharks since it lets me test out my dps in a really funny way.

Emet-Selch says that they create new Ascians by imbuing them with the memories of their past lives and tempering them. So Zenos is functionally an Ascian, but he's lacking the Zodiark parts.

Getting a slight rework in 5.1 (not just buffs), which is always a sign that a job is shit

Wait, when did he say that? I have skipped nothing in the main story and I still have Shadowbringers fresh in my memory, but I don't remember that.

Oh really any info on that?

You guys can worry about the Ascians all you want. I'm worried about the Assians

Shit. Their deserved punishment for how overpowered they were in SB.

He talks about it in one of the optional conversations, and the process is more clear in other languages. He says that they prefer raising up fragments of people who were originally on the council because their souls are 'already dyed in Zodiark's color'.

Aww shit, I have the habit of speaking again to NPCs during the MSQ but sometimes I didn't feel like it. I remember one in the Exarch's chamber where Emet-Selch explicitly says he and the other Amaurotines were (and still are) tempered by Zodiark.
Do you remember when that was? Or somewhere where I can check the optional conversations.

>people still doing normal mode

>tfw I'm basically solo tanking the first phase of Titan in my static because my cotank has no idea what the fuck is going on

Jesus help me

All the quests and all dialogue should be on garlandtools, but yes you're remembering right. That conversation even explains the tempering process in Japanese. He says that all beings attempt to shift the aether of those around them to the same 'wavelength' and most things just don't have enough willpower to dominate other things. Which lines up with Zenos's hypothesis of how the Echo works. Echo protection isn't a flat nullification, it just grants the user nearly indomitable willpower that can then be extended to temper other things.

Nevermind, someone compiled them here:
pastebin.com/ffXVNJsM
I'm curious, did you play in Japanese, or how do you know that? Especially since you said earlier "in other languages" in plural.

This is pretty much the fantasy of anyone who wants to return to the way some old MMOs had utility/required classes. They want to be desired not because they're good, but because they happened to pick the most boring thing ever to play so they're rare.

FFXIV has been like post-WotLK WoW since ARR.
FFXI is more similar to vanilla WoW although it's actually a middle point between it and actual old school MMOs like Ultima, Everquest or Runescape.

HW is objectively the worst part of the game, even worse than the ARR slog. That said the game never really gets good.

It's like you want to be a subpar raider, dungeoneer, RPer, crafter, gatherer and glamourer.

how the hell do you get far behind on gear, it takes 6 months to replace and you need nothing better than crafted gear for the latest savage which can be obtained in less than 10 minutes.

Post bloodborne glamours.

Literally the opposite considering they had to bring in the entire development team of FFXI to fix xiv

crafted gear is pretty expensive if you're trying to buy it day 1

I think Ryne stole most of Alisaie's thunder in the Shad msq. Especially since they can't ever do anything with Alisaie thanks to Lala's and Roe's and the fact that the trannys will throw a shitfit if they dare to imply heterosexuality in their degenerate roleplaying game.

They literally design the patches so nobody falls behind. Odd number is catchup, Even number is ilvl jump.

No it doesn't, but to raidtrannies it does. It's the most important thing in the world for them.

The best of the best will refuse you for that. I might be partially to blame for wanting to play with top players, but it gives me a goal to reach for.

You do realize that savage loot is ilvl470 right? i swear you niggers don't even raid

never understood why people bother farming savage after the first clear. the gear is pointless unless you're going into ultimate on your static on day 1.

nothing about xiv is even remotely competitive, what the fuck are you doing m8

No I'm sorry but they are not refusing you for no 100. You're tripping. I just checked and the top 1 of my job on titan is 100 and the top 2 is already 99. Are you telling me they want you to be top 1 in the world?

i think you mean estinien

He's a tragic figure and he looks youthful enough for them to draw pretty boy fanart of him looking tortured.

>nothing about xiv is even remotely competitive

You are absolutely right. But these raidtrannies will vehemently disagree with you on this statement.

They basically want you to have 3 things minimum: gold parses, cleared the 2 ultimates (they check dates, the closest to world first clear, the better), cleared titan savage week 1, and full BiS gear in every slot.

Without theses elements, you are just garbage to these raidtrannies and not even worth playing with.

lads whatever happened to that mod that let you see people's parses when you click them in-game?

You do realize when 5.2 comes around, all that savage loot is useless since 480hq crafted will be around?

The whole "gotta do the minimum effort to pass" is not something a lot of people are fond off when considering applicants. That goes for pretty much everything you'd apply for in life.

>they want you to be top 1 of the world
Yeah ok. Shitposter harder.

Holy exaggeration

Game is guaranteed to be alive at least through the 20th anniversary, devs hinted at doing something big for it. That's still a good 3 years off. Right now, they're rebalancing jobs and adding up-to-date versions of old fights.

If you don't believe me, you're free to try applying to the best of the best in your datacenter. See what they tell you.

>limited job
I'm new and what even is this?

I honestly can't do raid/trial dailies as anything but a healer. If you get stuck with a shit co-healer you're fine, but if you play a tank or DPS and both healers are shit then you're just fucked.

Going "75 is a good value to be secure on clear times" and then sticking to that and "lmao everything above that doesn't matter" is pretty much minimum effort mentality. I'd take someone who tries to actually play their job over that any time, and so would literally every person considering applications.

I was pretty happy the first time I got a green or a blue. Got my first purple not too long ago. I don't really try to parse well though. In fact, if my static didn't keep giving me pointers, I probably would still be a greylet. I'd rather just do just enough and let them do all the work.

Level cap is permanently 20-30 levels lower than real jobs.
Can't use any kind of matchmaking. Which means no duty finder, no PvP, no Eureka, no Deep Dungeon.
No real weapons, only three glamour options none of which have any stats.
Not actually balanced for content, meaning 75% of their skill kit is just random quirky bullshit spells only useful for the Masked Carnivale, their special little minigame content.

I have a lot of fun pushing myself to see what I can do and trying to figure out where I can be greedy and where I can't be.
If I was fine with just drifting along with greens i'd get bored of the game real quick.

What's the point of even having them in the game then?

Something unique that can only be done in the MMO setting user. Don't you see? Yoshida is pushing boundries that WoW and FFXI wouldnt.

Announcing a highly-requested classic job let Yoshi-P build a shitload of hype during the dead period of content right before ShB, but making it limited which really is just a label that lets them cut corners as they please meant that they didn't have to dedicate as much dev time to it. And now people can't ask for it anymore because it technically exists.

It's like that with a lot of old MMOs. They're so easy to create resources for and maintain that you can keep shit going with 3 or 4 people.

>I don't really try to parse well though
So long as you're trying to play the job then you're trying to parse well. There's no secret.

Sacrificing a highly-demanded job for more useless activities.
BLU has a bit of a crisis where it can't really fit into XIV's rigid tank-healer-dps system without breaking the core identity of the job, so you either turn it into a minigame on the side or you betray the job identity which has been preserved throughout the entire franchise. Kind of a lose-lose situation really.

XIV has already had Ramuh-egi and Sephirot-egi in the game since their primal fights were released though. They exist, Yoshi just won't let us access them.

Not FFXI. Last I checked, they still have to use PS2 devkits to make anything, and Lord only knows how many of those are in working condition.

BLU would fit just fine as a support-oriented damage dealer. XI is the only game where it can just swap out spells to completely change its build, but somehow that was made into the job's entire identity across the series.

What are you doing until 5.1? Aside from raiding that is.

I'm spending my time in PVP, finishing off the Garo event that ends in 5.1.

Just kind of leveling jobs here and there. In the middle of progging Titan so until he goes down I've kinda lost motivation to work on much else.

>They're so easy to create resources for
Yeah I'm sure it's so easy having to make new animations which can't be easily ported between races since they all use their own skeletons/proportions.

You also wouldn't be able to honor the tradition of gaining spells through combat with enemies, since that would conflict with the usual formula of learning spells by level up/job quests.

They've already got totems in the game, but I do think natural learning would be possible if you removed RNG from learning. Then you'd naturally build a kit as you leveled. Most BLU spells we have now appear in leveling dungeons. And if you don't do dungeons for whatever reason then there are still FATEs and PotD.

Just what do you think goes into making an old game? Do you think PS2 era animations are as advanced as they are now? Retard.

I think that's too much to expect from the playerbase of this game, honestly. If that was the case then it would be a regular occurrence to encounter level 80 BLUs with half of their spells learned because they only did PotD and couldn't bother going back.

he's probably talking about savage which nearly most of the parties in PF wait for healers last.

Is that any different from encountering level 80s who don't use half their kit? Or possibly don't even have half that kit because they never did job quests?

I just want to play blue mage

Would if be worth getting into XI at this point? I figure I could do it in between patches for XIV, but if I missed all the fun of the game then I don't know if I should bother.

It's worth it for the story at least, but it's not the same game it was back in the day. People are still very friendly and there's still a huge social aspect, but until you're ready for endgame you'll mostly be playing alone.

Game is fine. Classicfags will tell you that 75 era was the best the game had to offer, but they are wrong. Endgame is a bit of a misnomer, hitting 99 barely qualifies as that can be done in an hour or two. Don't play on Asura unless you want to be inundated with merc yells.

combat a bit slow
hardly a final fantasy game
decent as elsewhere

Actually. If I pay for people to make alts and join my FC for housing, how much would it take for me to ask people off Yea Forums or Reddit or whatever website?

Deep Rock Galactic truly is the chad of multiplayer video games.

I'm leveling DRG to 80 right now and it's pretty ass t b h. For a melee job with positionals it has way too many skills that lock you in place, I fuck up mechanics on DRG that I can do easily on any other job. Also just overbloated with abilities in general, there is absolutely no reason why Mirage Dive needs to exist or at the very least not occupy the same button as Jump.

>hitting 99 can be done in an hour or two
Am I in a different world? like a different dimension?
ive been playing FFXI all weekend and today and im still level 18

The animation locks are just an aspect of the job that needs to be taken into consideration when playing. You can still move from the rear to flanks for positionals while weaving jumps, with the only exception at 80 being Stardiver.
It just takes a moment to get used to.
Also removing Mirage Dive would be a massive change to the job's rotation, as you'll often delaying MDs in order to optimize your LotD timings. Having Jump give you eyes instead would make the job clunkier to play.

Dye and all colors are saved as normal RGB shit in this game. They had an issue where that one guy modified the sent packets at the hair customization npc to upload different values to the server. It's just lazy devs and shitty management.

what the fuck have you been doing all weekend
just following the exp guide on bg-wiki will take you to 99 in like 5 days, never mind if you can find someone to cleave escha mobs for you (which really isn't hard if you just yell for a linkshell)

Which devs are lazier, FFXIV or Mojang?

ive been doing that intro tutorial faux questline thing with the gate guard and now ive been training in the canyon and moved onto the peninsula

how did they get away with that ass

You could give Jump or Geirskogul charges to get around that, but Mirage Dive would be fine if it just went over Jump's button like Nastrond does for Geirskogul, there's no reason it needs to be a separate bind since its impossible for Jump and Mirage Dive to be available simultaneously.

XIV is filled with needlessly complicated niche minigames. Exploratory voyages are a full system with their own entire branch of crafting, for something that only FC officers will ever get to use.

>I think that's too much to expect from the playerbase of this game
I just did Dancing Plague (NM) for the first time, and I downloaded ACT after failing the DPS check a couple of times to make sure I wasn't fucking anything up (plus there's a lot of downtime when people keep ditching after one wipe). The next run was a success, with the NIN doing only 7% of the damage; what are people like that even doing? Like, even if you aren't good at mudras, shouldn't you at least be doing more damage than the healers if you just press the buttons that light up?

Maybe it's some limitation with how CDs work. Do any skills in the game that share a button have separate cooldowns? Gersiskogul's CD is 30s, and LotD is 30s, so those already overlap, but if you want to delay mirage dive then not having jump start its CD until after you use it would be really bad.

Geirskogul already works like that, its cooldown ticks down in the background even when its button is replaced by Nastrond.

you don't need to do every mission
check the wiki for the ones that actually move the plot forward, and jam some crystals into the gate guards who give you signet to cap off your rank points in between missions

and start working on rhapsodies missions ASAP

>it is button replaced by nastrond

>doing the story out of order
Cringe

>out of order
nigger they're not in any order, each one is self-contained

that's a client side edit. the issue becomes apparent once it becomes a global server thing.

Just to be safe if I'm botting buying a house, can I leave it over night? What's everyone using? Macro creator? Miqobot? Autohotkry?

Rhapsodies is a clear epilogue.

Umm??

ESL, or just an elementary school dropout?

Oh, then yeah, I can't think of a reason MD shouldn't work the same way to save a button, other than some people being too lazy to relearn muscle memory. Or they could at least add it as an option.

>telling some poor fuck to run content solo for a month before getting to do any grouping, with all the mandatory waits in between missions
nah, eat shit
story's perfectly coherent no matter what order you do it in because, get this
they're all self-contained

>they're all self-contained
They're not though. RotZ leads directly into CoP, and Rhapsodies only works if you've seen everything else.

While we are at it, Deathflare should replace the Dreadwyrm Trance button, Enkindle Bahamut/Phoenix should replace Enkindle, Assassinate should replace Dream Within a Dream, and Draw/Play should be the same button again.

you can do cop before rotz, only thing that changes is an npc
rhapsodies works fine on its own, you're forced to get to know everyone anyways because it's mission locked until you've completed whatever relevant mission in whatever expansion

>you can do cop before rotz
You can, yes, but CoP begins with the control room in Delkfutt's exploding because Lion fucked with the crystal line. CoP is a sequel to RotZ.

Cheat Engine in ARR days let you change your hair into retarded colors and it'd also affect your character server side. Hell you could even fuck with your Benchmark character data to make catboys bald back in the day.

I'd argue FFXIV cause at least I can recall all the shit theyve cut corners in or even reskinned to an extent that it baffles the mind that there hasnt at least been more but I could be wrong with Mojang, they could be as bad as Yoshida and his team barring Soken.

Soken, Ishikawa, and Koji are the soul keeping XIV alive
