FFXIV Gears of Esoterics and lore

Yay!

how long did it take most of you guys to get to the level cap?

about a month to get to 50 from when I first started playing.

at the heavensward early access launch I played a lot more than I did when I first started and it took me about 3 days to get from 50 to 60.

Fucking hell I dont know what happened but 2 day ago my client got completely fucked up.

fucking get in here faggots! were never gonna get vieras and time mages if the game dies now.

How much of an ilvl should I have before I can pull entire areas in the EX roulette? My biggest fear is being that one tank that wipes for pulling too much for them to handle or going too slow because i'm paper.

So who do I gotta bother for a guild invite? I mean, as long as there's still at least one of you dudes active.

My guy's name is Orvolt if you just wanna toss me an invite. fresh faced to this game

if you can manage your cooldowns and have a good healer you should be able to manage it.

...

3.3 needs to hurry up and SE needs to learn not to kneecap their own content so quickly (diadem, the older ex trials from Shiva and Ramuh to Bismark and Ravana).

The universal crafting gear will be a blessing as well for anyone that levels multiple classes.

This thread needs moar vierras

...

...

Never 5get the potatocaust

That's a good thing, I can't even image a hybrid lala.

Imagine a papalymo and yda babby

I have actually seen a lalafell FC, the tag was just Lala.

halfling?

...

You almost make me happy I never see any other femroes.

I'm going to tell you right now that the boner I have is going to be a case of priapism.

God damn you.

Game already says hybrids don't happen the way you'd think.

Baby is the race of the mother. With some facial features and looks of the father thrown in.

so its like in the elder scrolls then? pretty cool.

Yep, which now has me imagining baby faced roe men/women.

Because their father is a lalafell.

...

lalas don't have sex though. They're grown in gardens, which allows them to thrive everywhere.

Lala confirmed for living weeds.

3.3 when?

So I take it they mate chao style but instead of an egg popping out it's a cabbage

but Lalas ARE Jews

I still maintain that Lalas have insane muscle density to be able to jump as high as they do and hold up, at all, to the physical demands of combat the way hyur, roes, and miqo'te do.

Late May or Early June.

Yoshi needs to hurry up and take us to the ancient home of the lalas before they came to Eorzea. There's also the island lalas that took down the Scholars too.

I also wonder how SE is going to explain the warriors of darkness when they were used as the original warriors of light. They even took down an Ascian in their cutscene, which makes it look like they're capable of wiping out the Ascians whenever they want. Could it be that they come from a different dimension like ff11 where our Ascians are their warriors of light. It could also be they've come to realize that there's a big bad that spawns if Zodiark and the Mother Crystal are out of balance kinda like when Galactus gets killed in Marvel comics.

You know how we never really listened to that white-robed ascian? Maybe they did.

I don't remember what he wanted, but Urianger does seem to have warmed up to him. It really could be that some big bad shows up when the crystals of light and dark aren't together.

Then again:

They were on the moon too.

It's shit like this I love.

...

Veiras soon fellow brother. There is fuck all porn of 14 considering how much fetish fuel there is. It makes me very sad.

>Instead of reforming,4 of them server transfer to GILGAMESHHH
>No static places left with openings for my role Only one offer from a ninja who couldn't break 1k dps.
>still havent finshed relic

Well shit.

There's actually quite a bit of FFXIV porn. Just search up generic catgirl porn

:^)

I'd say a majority of the players are pretty burnt out by this point. It didn't help that 3.0 is going to mirror 2.0 in terms of content drops and 4.0 isn't coming out till like summer 2017 at the soonest. It's going to be a very dry year with SE focusing a lot of its staff on 4.0, which means little can change with how 3.0 is planned.

Even pf doesn't provide me entertainment anymore. Back to raidlogging I guess.

Correction, generic futa catigrl porn. Most of it is futa cats/demons and really shit quality.

Id say overall Heavensward was pretty fucking weak content wise and the shitheap that was Diadem just killed off alot of peoples hopes of some form of non linear gear progression with as you said, alot of dry spells inbetween patches. I just hope that 4.0 is better.

It could have been fun, but then SE kneecapped the rewards then it just died overnight. It didn't help that it was repetitive as all hell either. Nor does it help that Diadem looks to have been abandoned by SE.

I love me some Viera's.

So is the 8ch FC just a ruse? I have no idea who to contact and nobody's contacted me
I try to search for the guild name on the FC search thing and the guild wont come up

I'm this guy

We'll get you in now

This you?
Why is it wheels when the OP says world

OP fucked up I guess

Diadem was just wasted potential, it had the framework for something good but they forgot the fact that hunts are fucking painfully boring after the first few times and that's all it really has to offer unless you like playing the waiting game as a gatherer hoping that the mobs don't one shot you when you trying to get shit from nodes.

Hey how's it going on Exodus? Just saying hello from Balmung.

I have an alt on Balmung that I feel like transferring my main from Ultros to. Ultros was awesome for the first year or so, but now it seems like all of my friends have either stopped playing or moved on to other servers.

$20 to transfer is bs though and so is the small gil limit.

I have an alt on Greg that I feel like transferring my main from Ultros to. Ultros was awesome for the first year or so, but now it seems like all of my friends have either stopped playing or moved on to other servers.

$20 to transfer is bs thoug

Levi masterrace.

seriously though, Leviathan seems plenty healthy. which is a good thing, since i took a 1.5 year break and was able to come back to a fairly active server.

I have a few alts on Levi, but I never spent much time there. I might just wait till 4.0 before I decide where to go and I'll continue to hope SE drops the transfer costs from $20 to something more sane and/or raises the gil transfer limit.

what the fuck just happened? should i have expected this from balmung? i only wanted a chocobo and free teleports.

lol you cucked your own guild leader. should have sent him a message about how the off tank was a real man.

That is just gay.

Oh isn't that one erp server? homo

which fc?

HELP

Is that normal? I've always thought about transferring, but if the guild is that small/active it's not worth the money.

Everyone's pretty much on break until 3.3.

use the full map you nigger.

well shit, thanks

I was going to ask "For what purpose?" until I realized that, if I had taken the time to grind out my Anima instead of buying the Lore weapon, I'd already be in full 230 gear (except for a ring because that shit is still fucking Unique).

Bump.

anotha bump.

you niggers are dead as fuck.

Post more Garuda.

Is there anything worthwhile known about 4.0 yet? I poke around the forums every so often for news after giving up on this game months ago, but it just looks like the same old tome grind and duty finder spam.

I'm resubbing to XI at this rate since BDO is a complete shitfest.

I wish my group would raid more often. We're getting to 30% on A7S and I just want to kill the goddamn thing.

Garuda is literally the worst primal, get better taste

fuck you, Garuda is the best.

How is it to be a thirsty son of a bitch who fell for the waifu trap?

how is it being completely devoid of love?

Kinda like being memory wiped and beaten, narrowly beat, defeated.

bumpa

Ravana is best primal

Best primal.
Best tits.
Best ass.
Best death.

I have to admit I love how he jumps up in the middle of the fight and screams

REJOICE IN THE GLORY OF COMBAT

fucking vore fags.

>can't find anyone willing to craft it on Siren

Other than that, how can I tell how the game is doing? I can't find sub numbers and I'm curious about the longevity of the game.

Have some comfy

...

waifu bait too

...

3.3 cant come soon enough

what?

Project Manager M dropped a new 3.3 preview. It's all in moon though.

jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/blog/001474.html

bump.

Melee healer. Tags a single target a la Synastry but it's indefinitely length. Self buffs to convert damage done to heals to target in some manner. Various extra buffs to cast on party members such as "the next non-dot non-autoattack crit restores health equal to damage done", and an enemy debuff that's basically Bloodbath for anyone who hits it. Pure heals are weaker than other healers' equivalents, so keeping a good DPS rotation is key to good healing, so it's very punishing to your tank to fuck up the rotation. DPS is probably a middle ground between DPS job and current healers. Maybe a combo/positional system where missing one resets everything, and dots for hots. Another ability to store heals up to a certain amount and release at once, or convert all potential heals back into damage at a reduce rate. That would be the true stance-dancing, knowing when to squeeze extra damage out because you have heals stored and the tank takes extra damage. No need for Cleric Stance.

Could use a lot of fleshing out, but that's the idea I had.

...

TL:DR but i know that this line applies to mistweaver monks in WoW, they have this jade serpent statue that makes 50% of your damage into damage. too bad MNK is DPS only in this game.

shit meant to reply to

I'm thinking of transferring out of exodus to a server a little more populated. What do you guys recommend?

Balmung.

This tbh famalam:

where does it go?

Isgardian slums where they will put the apartments.

Well they had to stow the millions of adventurers somewhere.

...

...

what's the point of having all of this power when i can't even use it

How?

Git gud and down A5-8 Savage.

Luckily an LS mate might put in a good word with his raid group looking for a tank

You aren't missing much. The entire novelty of raiding was killed off with the introduction of normal mode, really.

At least my chocobo wont die of hunger with all these berries

>invested my only mil on berries to say later for a higher price
>they have rose in two weeks

Goddammit what is wrong with my english to day

You have the same problem I do where I type my sentences as they form in my head. This is extra depressing since personally I rarely talk since i'm always thinking of the best thing to say in every situation in real life. You just turned that shit off when you type on freedom loving anonymous oriental image boards.

have notes from the new letter from the producer been posted yet?
anyone have a link to them?

I know everything points to an ala mhigo desert/arabian themed expansion being announced this winter, but playing monhun tri and FFX really makes me want an island chain tropical ocean based expansion bad.

Too bad, enjoy Hullbreaker(hard).

The houses will sell out in a minute. one minute.

...

I can stream though ya

Gilgamesh if you don't rp and it's a bit easier to get into than Balmung.

That's going to end up being 3.0 in a nut shell. I just hope SE does SOMETHING different with 4.0.

Other than Ala Mihagao, it looks like we'll be teaming up with the missing Scions soon to help the resistance. I'm guessing Monk will be the spotlight job with 4.0 just like Dragoon in HW. There really isn't much known at this point other than Samurai more than likely being one of the three new jobs. The remaining two are thought to maybe include Red Mage. The last one is up in the air, but I think it'll be a dancer/songstress healer. I base that off of the event we had not too long ago with the three female songstresses. Some people want a time mage, but Astrologian is based too heavily on it and Comet is already taken. Chemist is another option for healer, but Scholar has taken too much from it imo.
Yoshi also mentioned something about wanting to do underwater levels kinda like what we got with flying in HW, so we might spend some time out at sea or on islands.

It looks like 4.0 will be out sometime next year as SE is already hard at work on it. We'll more than likely get a lot more news at fanfest.

If its ala mhigo im calling dancer healer, beastmaster dps and geomancer tank

You never know, the third job might be geomancer.

Haven't played in months and months, how good is the game currently? How alive is the game currently? How alive is nWo?

funny enough if we ever get an expansion about lalafells they would probably go to their homelands which is described as a bunch of islands to the south.

The scholar 50-60 questline suggests those stories may not be true and the 'island lalas' were mhach' spies merely pretending in order to get nymian sailors to take back 'gifts' bringing plagues and demons to eorzea. Possibly including Diablos.

What if Mhach was a lala empire? Would Nanamo Ul'Namo be the rightfull Empress to the Garlean throne should the current Emperor get killed by Regula van Hydrus? It would be pretty fun to explore some islands outside of instances. They could give us boats to travel in with various islands to discover kinda like Diadem, but on the World Map. There was a zone in City of Heroes called Monster Island where giant monsters roamed around. S ranks, etc could spawn there with various A ranks roaming around gathering nodes. It'd be a nice way to push the population away from the main cities at the very least without dealing with instances. The major issue with it would be keeping it relevant, but I can see that happening as long as required gathering mats are only available there and it would be a lot more accessible than trying to get a group to go to Diadem.

The game is pretty slow right now with a lot of people taking a break till 3.3 on June 7th. I'd suggest coming back then or a bit earlier if you need to catch up.

I think Void Ark 2 is coming in 3.3, so it should offer the items needed to boost our weapons and armor to i240.

Why do I play this game?

I would not be surprised if they base a future expansion on the sea since travel via boat has been a thing in a lot of FF games. It would be nice if we get a traditional expansion followed by a HW style expansion. Something like ARR > HW > rapefugee expac > boat expac

to carry those idiots?

man i just want a new class to play now.
don't like tanking don't like healing.

hate dragoon
love monk but can't stomach to level it to max
mch gets very tiring to play now since its all i've played since hw launch only to finally be worth something in content i don't feel like doing.

BLM

oh fucking casting its the whole reason i hate being a mch and life

...

I wonder how many healers went through this before they become an asshole versus how many are just assholes to begin with.

The casting isn't bad when the job is built around it. SMN has a lot of timers to keep up with for all your dots, but BLM has only two to track. What I see most MCH/BRDs complain about is shit proc timing/not able to weave OGCDs as well. BLM doesn't really have those problem, and procs are always used the GCD after you obtain them at the very earliest. There's not nearly as much guesswork on the skill-using side. Keeping track of Enochian and the like does take practice and a feel, though.

i imagine its shit like this that drives healers nuts. i know it drives me nuts when it happens, especially when its from someone like the nin who had several lvl 60 classes. and a mentor crown, natch.

i swear by the twelve that mentor crown is the best predictor of terribleness in a player.

I see the crown as being an extension of the shitters from Runescape. Having said that, Mentoring was poorly implemented. Tossing in ex trials into the mentor roulette was really fucking dumb too. Instead, SE should have made it so that completing x trial y number of times at the appropriate ilvl opens it up to that player's specific roulette. That way, players that need help on specific ex trials actually get the help they need rather than a bunch of people that have been grinding brain-dead content for relics.

agreed.

they also should have differentiated between DoW/DoM/DoL/DoH mentors. I figure someone who has had the patience to max out 3+ DoH crafts, or all the DoL jobs for that matter, likely has some good tips for a new player, or at least can point them to some good resources.

but ive seen far too many people with 5+ level 60 jobs who just do not play like they have that much practical experience.

Me with two guys at my FC ran two dungeons, Arboretum and Pharos Sirius Hard as two DPS and a healer.

First time we got a mentor DRK who never used any cooldowns, failed to keep aggro from everyone, ate AoEs and sometimes just went afk for 5-10 seconds in the middle of the bossfight/trash.

Second time we got a PLD-firsttimer who used cooldowns, kept aggro, didn't fuck up any mechanics. And didn't suddenly afk, i guess.

is this a bad decision?

Do what makes the game enjoyable for you, but in my opinion at least male elezen are unique. Probably half the population is just sluts in bikini armor.

Its not slut armour but all the nice outfits like the red and black ishgard dress where the mail counterpart looks like low level crafting gear. I know nippon has a bad habit of making male armour more uninspired but the slutglamour contingent really forget how much none slutty nice gear there is thats female only.

Normally because most mentors are just egotistical pricks who think they are alot better then they really are. The requirements for mentoring are way to fucking lax for it to be any good outside of grooming alts and friends for the exp buffs and answering really dumb questions in mentor novice chat. The roulette is a waste of time due to having ex trials thrown into them Had a new sch who used Physick twice and succors 3 times in a whole odin trial. Solo healing that was fucking pain and we still lost because couldn't reach the dps check. and was a missed opportunity to not allow mentors to spec into roles or to have 1 on 1 trials to teach sprouts with. A healer main is going to be a fat load of good teaching people how to tank outside of the basics.

Yes.

No.

u wot m8?

...

why even upload encrypted whatever the fuck this is supposed to be

Try Balmung.

...

The MB is an undercutter's war. As soon as you put something up, other people will lower the price of theirs. There's one guy on Exodus we've highly suspected of botting the MB to undercut the instant someone undercuts him. Your best bet is to get a gatherer to 60 and get some of the endgame crafting materials. Depending on how autistically you farm it, you can amass a pretty decent sum in a few days.

The key is lvl.40 mats, dickweeds dont have the energy to farm for that long. I sell logs and ore from that level at like 1000+ gil each and people leveing carpenter or blacksmith snap them all up in minutes.

Better start those leves then

This is on Siren of all fucking places.

Miner/Botanist aren't too bad to level, since it's consistent. You do your leves, turn in your turnins, and collect your collectables once you unlock them. If you smash your face against the wall you'll get there without too much trouble.

Does summoner ever become a better solo class over scholar? I find that just standing around and dotting everything while my fairy heals me is more effective than my summoner's tank pet tanking it while I nuke and dot the monster.

I prefer Summoner-Solo after it gets Tri-Disaster, since that means a faster start up, and with Bane,Fester and Death Flare faster potential for burst killing in most situations if you walk into em with a full Aetherflow since you can Tri-Disaster the strongest enemy in the group, Bane to spread it to the weaker Cohorts then Painflare to finish them off and on the chance they are still standing, Trance and either just Ruin II Spam if it is single target or Deathflare em.

Titan-Egi isn't so much a "proper" tank as a distraction to buy you enough time to let you nuke em, so you really shouldn't need to heal him since Quickcast-Summon II works way better (Aetherflow should refund more then enough of your Mana to make that more viable then straight up healing with poor stats for it), and if it is holding up fine enough no resummon seems likely then Quickcast-Shadowflare instead.

You DO have Quickcast right?

Alot of old 2.X shit is worth a hell of a lot of dosh simply because people aren't farming/gathering it anymore. Saw rosewood logs shoot up to 4k per log at one point and 2k fine sand when new houses popped up. Favors are also really easy money if you can stand doing them. But best bet for leveling is to mix grinding with manuals for that exp and potential dosh and leves for pure exp.

SCH will always have better solo potential when theres no time limit due to fairy heals and a strong instant cast heal along side shields. It will take a while but it works, its what I use to solo dragonskins that aren't in Sea of Clouds. SUMs has the lowest HP gain iirc and titan is kinda eh his hp is based off yours when you summon it, so you can equip VIT shit to boost his HP as long as you don't use spur or resummon. but has by far much better damage overall.

Thanks for the tips m8. Although I might just level using DF since the queue times are non existent and galvanize makes healing a non issue.

bump.

...

...

any type of garuda is good.

Well i ended up using the fantasia to try and make my old malezenn qt.

rate and describe how shit it is because no slutglamour.

6/10. That's all I can give you m8.

Xaelas with one tone hair look all plastic like a creepy doll, gotta contrast hat shit tbh fam.

pretty cute/10 would face fuck her.

fucking dead as fuck.

Nigger I'm not leveling up and grinding my ass off just to end up paying after two weeks. Fuck that, I have a job and friends I don't have that kind of goddamn time.

It's to see if you like the game you tool.

Wow, I expected at least one picture of people being uppity over the "Final Steps of Faith" as the end of the dragonsong war trial.

What I miss? Final steps of faith?

I want to gently love a garuda

Dragonsong War ends in 3.3

Trial vs Niggnog is going to be called "The Final Steps of Faith."

Going to be normal and Extreme with extreme dropping weapons.

I read somewhere months ago that 3.3 would end the Dragonsong war. It also said that 3.4/3.5 would start gearing us towards Ala Mihalgo and the next expac. It makes sense now that the War is coming to an end and HW will essentially be over save for the Warriors of Darkness. Yda is still mia somewhere with the resistance,

I'm not looking forward to more skills from 4.0 unless SE starts merging old skills, but that might do funny things to the 1.0 and ARR dungeons. I think Yoshi said no to a skill tree, but I'd like to see a trait tree to add SOME customization to the classes.

I'm also really looking forward to the new universal crafting/gathering gear sets. The class gear was nice back in ARR, but that shit got old fast with how much space it took and fuck melding all of that save for the jewelry, which every doh/dol class could use.

Thank fuck the coil guys designing the next one again.

Who will be the next big bad raid primal I wonder

Cancer.

fucking casual

...

me too!

I dont know why but I really love that picture.

bumpa

that no pickle pee
that no bumpa rum

So I just recently resubbed after not playing for about 8 months.

What have I missed? Last I remember, farming Alex was the hot new thing that dropped.

well you got 2 new beast tribes to do for mounts and crafting shit and you got about 4 more dungeons to unlock along with the second part of the alexander raid.

if it means anything I think the second wing of Alexander called midas is a lot better than gordias. You also have void ark which sucks but gives lots of money.

I wouldn't mind actually adventuring into an Atomos or something akin to that in the next raid tier.
To be quite honest I feel like Alexander was a bit of a let down. He's a very cool summon but this whole going inside him to fight mini robots feels like it's diluting his grandeur. Except for A8S. I just got there yesterday and good lord that fight is so much fun.

Yeah i was expecting alexandria 2.0, not brass steam engine. Save that for doom/ghost train

Here's a google doc of the live letter translated.

docs.google.com/document/d/1ZgnUU6pzGoQFaD5dY1TLsBM1xS0XvNFVgbootANChvM/preview?pref=2&pli=1

Enjoy m8s.

well that is a relief, unless I am reading it wrong or something.

You have it right. You know what the best part is?

it lets you search the datacenter, not just the server you play on.

My main issue with it is that Aether is a much larger data center than Primal. I really wish it at least combined the two, so Primal would get to play with Gilgamesh and Balmung, which hold most of the game's population.

bump.

bump

bump.

...

bmp

so, how long do you faggots think it will take for housing to be bought up on high population servers like balmung and gilgamesh?

See above, you can make 500k a day easily from beast tribe stuff. 3mil houses will be sold so hard your server will crash.

I don't think we'll see much of atomos he's already been ruined as a trash mob
Since Bahamut and Alexander are the bigger summons maybe the next primal focus will be shit like Exdeath or Kefka

just picked up HW and started getting into the actual post-2.55 content, whats with all the voice actors in HW being british all of a sudden? Merlwyb being one of the worst offenders, she had a great original VA

They tossed out bad and good talent alike. Got rid of Urianger's thees and thines VA too, he was real good.

Pretty sure they just got a different dubbing studio for HW, which coincidentally seems to be the same one FromSoft uses. They replaced Amerifats doing britbong accents with actual bongers, for better or worse.

i hated reading the non-voiced dialogues with Urianger, but his voice actor was amazing. goddamnit sqenix

rip in peace Yda, you were the best waifu

Yda is still alive bro

Fucking finally.

Why does the download version of heavensward on the SE site cost more than the actual box with the game.

Something tangible costs more than just data?

They've got to have money, user.

for what porpoise?

I took an exactly similar screenshot.

fug

meant 2nd pic

This is a good feel.

I upscaled some images. One is missing Oh well

Oh fuck, I'm never buying whores from Limsa Lominsa again

cause Yda is a QT

...

What.

After tifas massive chocobo cum inflation human toilet doujin nothing would surprise me.

I love sparrow.

I've completely ignored this game because it inexplicably has the final fantasy name attached to it.

What would you say this game has over, say, WoW, TERA, and other slightly less than trash MMOs?

Content updates.

The boss fights feel like early ps1 platformer boss fights. Ala avoid this telegraphed attack and attack his weak point. Combine that with the classic MMO design of tank and spank and you have the gist of the combat of the game. Personally, I like that combination since I can still run some older content and still enjoy it. Also the music is so bad it's good. Video related, it was so edgy powerman 5000 tried to sue them for it.

Though you may like it or hate it depending on the one complaint that the combat is too slow. With a global cooldown of 2.5 seconds it does make it feel slower than most other MMOs. I don't mind it since they might as well treated the global cooldown as the ATB system since stacking speed lowers it. That's why ninja and monk's GCD is 2.0 or lower depending on how much speed they have.

Plus most jobs have a lot of off-GCD abilities they need to squeeze between GCDs, and they have everyone's favorite animation lock so you can't just fire everything at once.

fucking frenchies.

well it actually has content patches.

A good story and it doesn't run like dog shit.

holy shit, that really does sound like Powerman 5000. cant wait to get to that battle now. fuck them for trying so sue though

Titan phase 5 is another great edgy rock song, but there is some real good music in the game as well. i really like snowcloak and ravana's themes. shame those two aren't on the orchestrion yet

Don't forget about lying naked while the snow falls all around you

I only did shiva once for the MSQ, didn't pay attention to it much during my playthrough. that is a pretty comfy song

but snowcloak is the best bedtime music

Aparently that song was so warmly recieved the devs did vocals on a bunch of other boss songs.
youtube.com/watch?v=v89qYANJGMQ
youtube.com/watch?v=wLCWCPyxByg

Also, there's an album where the quality of Oblivion is much better than the OST version.

Fuckin amazing. I need to level up faster and get to this content. Leveling up in HW is such a fucking pain though

I see what you did there faggot.

They were never going to sue to begin with, but I am 99% sure they were trying to pull a publicity stunt with it. When most people were telling powerman that they were full of shit, they tried to play it off as "W-we were only saying!!". Hell the composer for Edgyrot theme said that he wasn't even aware of POWERMAN's song to begin with.

Second song is a fucking super robo theme, man.

I'll raise you this one.
The version I had saved got taken down by youtube so I'm not sure if it's the one I'm thinking.

found the image I meant to go for first.

What's the deal with the rabbits?

They're basically the pseudo-confirmed next race in the next expansion, methinks.

Has yoship said anything about them?

everyone really wants bunny girls in this game.

animenewsnetwork.com/the-x-button/2015-07-29/heaven-sense/.91021

I believe this might be what you're looking for.

Scroll all the way to the bottom.

So people think they're in because yoship said "we didn't include them"? wew, just wew

Are there any other races that could possibly be playable? Aside from creating something new like the au ra

I think there's a bit more too it, but I'm not exactly privy to that information given I'm not too well informed when it comes to these things.

Honestly, It's hard to say.We have stuff like the Guado and the Ronso. However, we already characters meeting those archetypes and I only assume they're trying to avoid race redundancy given their stance on Viena.

I wish leveling PLD was half as fun, and I'm sure it is when you fucking get shield oath.

Shield Oath is really nice. Doesn't take much to have an insane hate lead and then you can swap back to Sword and feel like a useful member of the party again.

Maybe an entirely new race or bunny girls aren't that bad after all. Or something from FFIX like the genomes or Burmecians

took these from the scene where you find out how the dragonsong war started

look like theyd make some breddy gud wallpapers. also some waifu bait

/tg/ warned us about elves.

...

I wonder when a Sabotender costume will become available.

Why is crafting base materials like leather, cloth or shit like rubber so comfy and relaxing?

Repetitive actions have a meditative effect. It helps your mind relax and flush out stress when you go through the same steps fifty times in a row.

...

Well, actually I was thinking elves with silly hair but you get where I'm coming from.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

Needs wind up Ravana

The Ul'dah arc was the second most disappointing thing out of Heavensward just behind AST.
I hope they continue it once we finish with the Ishgard arc.

did anybody do it without getting the shadow man?

If you get everything right, you will get another ending, without a shadowy man.
Collect all clues to unlock other options during the dialog.

r8 my apartment room

i accused the wife but still got the shadowman. i think i found all the clues but i must be missing one or two. i got the note and the sweet smelling sabotender costume but cant figure out what the sweet smell is or where it came from, i know it was in the cup too

Nope, and I almost don't care with how crowded the place is now. I want to say fuck triple triad but because random is the worst thing to have during it but the npc has a Bartz card you can win on the first win hopefully.

The notification will tell you if you get all the clues.
There are 10 in total, all in first floor.

where do you the note?

Which npc?

nevermind its that cunt that gets nothing but 7-A cards and you get random 2-7 ones isnt it?

and on my first game i got it. Son of a bitch that luck.

Does this game have private servers like FFXI so I can pirate it and still play the game?

No one has linked it or talked about it yet, but the trailer for 3.3 came out.

Well shit. I think I'm better off farming Gilgamesh for that.
Goddamn I love the plus rule.

It's got me hype and I can't wait to bum rush the msq for those fights.

bump.

Why the fuck isn't this the level 30 skill?

A Paladin must show resolve and determination for his cause.
But yeah it is so pivotal it's weird to not have it at 30 with the Sword Oath as signature stances.

comf

comf game

Is there a special reason for this?

Is Bard in a bad spot or something?

Why would it be?

People have been talking about it getting buffs this patch and this other guy complains nonstop about not doing enough damage, although I think he's saying that to say it since he can't play BLM any more.

As far as I'm aware Bard is in an okay spot DPS wise, ignoring the whole Bard wasn't made for turret mode deal. MCH is flavor of the patch because of the whole buffed Hypercharge deal, but Bard is definitely not looked negatively upon.

Should've known, and I wish I could get it through this guy's head. How's MCH end game any way? I wanted to try it out but I have too many other things going to try and relevel archer for it any time soon.

it's always disabled on all their videos

Needs to be lower

It's insanity. Why did I dump so many hours into this game? Where was the payoff? It must have been the gear treadmill that kept me going. That and the pretty world.

Over time though it felt more and more like a single player RPG masquerading as a MMO. I know the game doesn't mean much to me because if you asked me to name a prominent location or character I couldn't do it. Arguably that's my fault to some extent for not paying attention or listening to podcasts while I play. I do lay some blame on the game for not making me care about the world.

Can anyone help me rationalize 12.99 a month again?

You had fun

I would help you but

Come one man. What kind of fag does that shit, it's like watching youtubers seriously

take a break and save up money for the expansion dude.

I recently refreshed my sub on this game.
Played a few dungeons, logged in 4 or 5 days, uninstalled.
Square can keep my money, but god damn did this game lose all charm.

Trying to think of when I had fun in FFXIV…like genuine glee was probably with chocobo racing. A single nugget of "ooo I'm having fun" in a sea of "better 'q' up for more shit to do get the next thing in line so I can measure my dick against other faggots who I don't know or care about."

That is a fucking depressing way to go about a game.
I'm not saying FFXIV should be more like WoW, but it needs to have more distractions that are purely for fun.

A litmus test for you. Give me 5 activities in FFXIV apart from seasonal events and golden saucer games that are objectively built to be "fun" and don't tie into any gear treadmill or marketplace. They game/event can offer prizes but the prizes need to be superfluous to the act of playing the game.

How do you play mindless grindy games without listening to podcasts?

Maybe you just listen to shit I guess.

Maybe if the community wasn't shit I'd be more engaged with the people I'm playing with rather than listening to news, politics and other shit while playing.

There's been so many raids where I just shoot the shit with folks and everyone stays quiet or doesn't say anything. I'll go ahead and admit that I'm a gigantic faggot with a bit of autism but I expect some kind of social interaction in my game if I'm paying fucking 12.99 a month to play "online".

Most companies don't use any kind of VoIP unless they're into end game raiding. Even then that's iffy. There's basically no social scene in this game unless you're into typing only. Maybe it's the culture I came from to FFXIV but I expect guilds/clans/groups/whatever to have a dedicated VoIP for organization and bantz.

i.e. what separates casuals from people who genuinely want to improve and grow as a player

there's a lot of shitty companies then.

I could have bought it for a long time. For me it's not an issue of money it's an issue of value. What's more is I haven't even finished the vanilla story yet so I have to complete that gear treadmill before I'll even be admitted into the expansion (from what I've heard).

I understand that's the progression the developers want the player to go through but for me I can't rationalize a monthly sub let alone paying for the expansion at it's current price right now. See my above comments regarding a lack of fun content.

I'd rather pad my nest egg and buy something with more value at some point in the future.

what level your jobs at?

You just sound like someone that has played nothing but FFXIV and is now crying that it has nothing to do. No shit it won't have anything left for you to do if you everything it offers. Do yourself a favor and stop playing this game for a good 6 months to a year at the most. Come back and if it's still not fun then at least you can stop playing quickly due to that break. I felt the same way when I played EQoA back in 98. I still find it crazy that the modern MMO player gets bored when the genera has done nothing but slap more distractions for the normalfags.

I've gone through most of the game either watching youtube on something else or bullshitting with friends over discord. Hell, my last stone vigil was so fucking bad that if I wasn't on voice chat I don't think I would've made it.

I don't even mind the grind except this relic bullshit, jesus and I'm still fairly new after being disgusted with WoW.

I'm one of those wierdos who plays a bit of everything…save RTS games. Fuck RTS games.

I've been unsubbed for a good couple months now

WoW has and I'll commend it for one decent idea. FFXIV really only has…chocobo racing and that's about it. Choco racing isn't even that good. They could stand to revamp fishing maybe. Maybe mining and gathering as well. For me it's like those activities are close to being fun but there's still a level of disconnection from the activity. Something like timed minigame to increase the quality/quanity of goods you get from farming mats.

I'm not arguing the devs do the equivalent of shitposting games all throughout the world but a few more distractions that you could maybe play with others for shits and giggles would bring the world more to life for me.

podcasts, youtube, whatever you wanna call it. My point being that while playing you're taking in one or more forms of media outside the game to supplement your engagement as time (the resource your effectively expending) is precious and you can only listen, play, and progress only so much in x amount of time.

This concept is lost on those who don't work for a living.

I haven't touched WoW since…quite a while

late 2009 or so

Botanist was fun until I hit 60 and found out just how awful scrips and ephemeral nodes are. I mean, holy shit it was enough to make me say fuck it and buy the relic mats myself.

Oh, yeah I see what you mean now. I wish I had stopped before going through WoD, that was a huge disappointment and I wish I could stop myself from buying it. I'll take what I've got in XIV over what that's become.

Pretty much all the professions have some portion of a "mini game" to them. For the most part its all a stat juggling game that plays with hotbar skill management for the sake of min maxing your outcomes. I like this about the gathering and crafting professions but it feels at the same time lacking.

Like what you're looking at is the skeleton of a better crafting system. I want a timing base game or something to better engage me.

Whatever, you can have a "no risk" mode that allows you mediocre yet more predictable results from crafting and gathering that would be on par with what you get now. This way people who want to take chances with skill get payoffs and those who want to play it safe can still get a satisfying result.

To be clear, I don't see the current hotbar based gathering and crafting mechanics as flawed. I get it. I just think they could have done more with it.

You know they can do more skill based mini games since you can see it in the golden saucer with the crane game and the punch game.

They'll be gone in less than an hour on those servers, with the next set of medium-large servers being sold within the next few hours.

They're much cheaper and there's a whole lot more gil in the game then there used to be, so they'll disappear very quickly.
