There are endgame viable builds that use head start and stuff like increased stamaina 3 to basically stay ahead of the pack the whole race, controlling who gets items and shit. And since cunning barely matters you probably had a really good birb anon

I feel like no matter where I put things, the hotbars are always in the way. I put them on the side and now I can't see shit there. I put them on the bottom and now I can't see shit there either. It's not like it affects my ability to play or dodge. But I start to feel a little claustrophobic when more and more UI elements show up.

If there was a way to collapse the space between icons in the hotbar trays and specifically scale just the icons down to a smaller size, I'd be a lot happier.

You're at the chokepoint spot. You gotta get i230 to enter the expert dungeons and i235 the last 24-man, and the highest content you can do before being i230 only gives i230 gear at highest so you basically gotta get a near-full set of i230 gear.

Progress thru the MSQ for the dungeons and also do Weeping City. They might net you some i225 gear and i230 respectively. At that point you probably wanna do Gubal Hard or ARF or Weeping City for Scripture. You'll be using the item that drops at the end of each Weeping City to upgrade your tome gear tho so maybe do more than just run of that.

The scripture gear can be upgraded to i240 with one set of the lower two mhachi coins (void ark and weeping city) at one of those Idyllshire girls (Bertana? The one on the right).

If you want the weapon you'll have to progress thru Alexander and do the 4th part of Midas 4 times to get an item that drops from it each run. Trade that, with 10x Scripture tokens, to the girl on the left in Idyllshire to get a weapon.

I'm not sure how good pvp is to get gear, the above is what I did.

>>379360619

Anon, you can't start the fight until everyone's out of CS anyway. All her shit is predictable once you get used to the order she uses skills.

Post-50 ARR marked a new low for the story, and there's a lot of it since it lasted for 3 years before HW came out. Don't feel bad about skimming it. Once you start dealing with the Crystal Braves and intrigue surrounding them, you're close to finishing.

The topic was doing ex primals with DF/randoms you moron. Where did I say Shiva EX was hard? The instagib mechanics don't affect me.

If you have played mmos before but haven't played anything in a while or your current game is feeling boring its fun.

If you've never played an mmo before its fun.

Its not fun if you played too many mmos and can tell all the obvious flaws such as tick rate, slow combat, far too easy "expert" content, and to some people annoying force to play main story. Then no, it's not a good mmo.


Basically it's fun if you really want an mmo for some reason or never played an mmo before. But bad if you wanting a new expiernce of an mmo

Or another way to explain it is, its a more refined version of what all other Theme Park MMOs have done. A conglomeration of ideas from all other theme park MMOs into one game, with a Final Fantasy skin on top. If you aren't burned out on theme park MMOs yet, it'll be fun for you.

But also, like other FF games, it focuses extensively on story, cutscenes and graphics. So if those things bug you in a game, you'll hate it with a passion.
>>
>>379362821

You'll have to optimize the heck out of your route to do story and dungeons, all be on the same page, and no-life it to the max.

SB doesn't launch for everyone until the 20th, and if it's going to go anything close to what HW was like, the servers will be unstable for the first few days post-launch anyway. You have more time than you think.

New player here, currently level 53.
I love the story of this game. it was kinda slow until level 40 but then it really picked up. The community on my server is really nice and helpful too and I very much enjoy playing as heal, especially since I can DPS when I don't need to heal.
TL;DR: I really like it and it's fun.

>One you are stupid for lvling 2 classes before maxing out one. Having a lvl 60 character boost your xp gain on other characters.
You get the 100% EXP boost by completing ARR. Unless you mean there's even more EXP bonuses for finishing Heavensward. Not that I needed it since I got WHM up to level 50 in 2 days of just doing hunting logs and dungeons.

>Two how are you lvling so slow? Guess you are using inefficent methods.
I'm doing all the side content, triple triad and etc along the way.

You get an Armoury Bonus EXP boost when you level a job/class that's lower than your highest. So if you get one to 60 all your other classes will go a little faster.

MSQ also gives you dungeons to do- half of them are gated behind it.

Technically the lalafells have unique features. If by features you mean a unique model that isn't just a human stretched longer (elves) or shorter (cats).

What they should have done is add more customization options. If a 'low' budget game like Phantasy Star Online 2 could do it, so can FFXIV. Instead, every race just has the same 4-5 face options and the same body. Even changing breast and height size is pointless.

I bought the game at 2.0 and played through the 'story' in about 5 days. Then tried crafting and side quests until my month expired. Came back to the game after Heavensward released and literally fell asleep doing the story quests. Quit the game in annoyance. Now I'm back again trying to get through all the content and I'm losing my interest at the exact same point.

The post ARR content is just fucking bad. Doing the dungeons and stuff is fun. But endless fetch quests and 'warp to this town to talk to one NPC' is just fucking bad. You're not playing the game 90% of the time. You're playing a crappy version of Skyrim.
>>
>>379362725

There is zero grinding in the game unless you want to max more than one class. The story levels you up on its own just from following it, and you get fed all the endgame gear you need just from doing all the content one time each.

Ignore this man, he has never entered a raid in this game.

FF14 has the hardest high end raids of all MMOs. Most of them take a month or more to get cleared even though they're usually only 4 bosses long, and that's despite the fact that they are designed to be beatable with the gear people have when they come out.

When I beat Coil before HW came out, I hadn't grinded or farmed for a second.

There is some grinding if you want to clear the absolute hardest content as soon as it comes out, but if that's not important to you there is none at all, and certainly not for the main story.
>>
>>379364496

After level 32 or so, quest exp starts to slow down. So you get sent on a lot of errands which are obvious filler quests. Go dance for the sylphs, go pick up dead bodies outside the church, go warp back to the Waking Sands 50 bagillion times.

Then post ARR, you do all of this junk again. But 100x worse. There's no story anymore. You're just an errand boy with the occasional primal fight.

Healing that dungeon can be hard even with synced gear. I have to spend more time healing there than DPSing when tanks pull big unless I get an Adlo crit before the pull. All the healers feel weaker in HW leveling dunges than they were in the ARR dungeons (excepting perhaps SV).

Oh boy, if you're enjoying it now you will be blown away when it actually starts getting good.

Protip though: When you get to the climactic dungeons once you reach level 50, don't do those via Duty Finder if you want to enjoy the story in them. There's long cutscenes and people don't have patience for newcomers there. Make a Party Finder group instead, all you need is one helpful level 60 player to two-man the dungeons with.

The other Scions go out in the field and fight occasionally. They're still useless compared to you. But she literally doesn't even leave her room unless you and all the other scions clear an area and send for her. And her other major roles in the story are whining about her adoptive mother and worrying about Tataru.

They go out in the field and do nothing except to risk the chance of being captured (Like Thancred) or to fuck everything up (Like Alphinaud). Remind me what useful thing did any of them do outside of healing you in a quest or two?

Minfilia at least has connections and knows how to keep the team of useless dirtbags together, and like I said, she's really nice to look at, which is more useful than any of the Scions combined.
>>379365176
She's not as offensive as the rest of the Scions, is my point.

Pretty much. There being so much gear made to fit on so many races, especially back when the game was limited by PS3 RAM, means they're going to take as many shortcuts as they can. This is why barely any sets are still in the game that have tail holes for mi'qote, and why their asses were nerfed.

They help heal you or are a meat shield in some story instances.

Which is more than Milfillia does. And it's sad how hard you're trying to come up with excuses for her. Especially claiming she has 'connections'. When she sends you or one of the other scions to go make the connection. She has literally one connection in the whole world. Her adoptive mother. Which YOU have to go find for her.

When exactly did that happen by the way? She was one of the least viewed characters in ARR. But then she started showing up in all the spin off FF games. I mean, she's an okay character. But hardly a story focus character by any means. Thancred or Tataru does more than she does.

The nice thing about Alphinaud's fuckups is it drives the story along and he isn't just a generic nice bitch like the rest of them.

You get Papalymo and Lyse in Gridania. Their back-and-forths were funny. I actually felt a little sad about the end of HW because I liked Papalymo right from the start.

I don't know about Thancred, but their routines were infinitely better than Y'shtola showing up to say a few vague and mysterious things before walking away until it came time to recruit you.

I wish this would change the entitled tanks who want the healer to prop them up. But it won't. It'll just make the playerbase demand the healer does more DPS to stick it to Yoshi and to be contrarian.

And this comes from a healer who does DPS a lot. Thank god they're getting rid of cleric stance.

If DQX had come out, I would have never even tried FFXIV. And that's probably why they don't bring it to the west. Though it's fucking dumb. I've only played FFXIV for a total of three months. But if DQX had come out, I'd have subbed for 5 years straight. SE just lost a ton of money from me.

I already feel compelled to heal everything because otherwise there are so many shitters who stand around and top off the tank.

YoshiP just tell them that DPS is part of their job. Not a huge one, not the be-all end-all. But it's something they should do if they can. It would bring a little joy into my sad existence as a heal main.

The game is fully developed. You probably meant localizing it. Which is not as big of a cost as you think. If a Korean company can fully localize and pay for servers for an MMO with less than 100,000 players, SquareEnix could afford to bring over DQX. Especially when FFXIV was drifting down around 250k subs for a long time. They could have repurposed a few of the FFXIV servers for a trial run of DQX.

Why do you think that the 1st part is only Ala Mhigo then after that it's Doma until the end? The fact that she is pushed all through out and even in the Revolutions trailer you see her with you when you go to Doma means that her story is relevant for the full 2 years of Stormblood.

Thancred was possessed the entire time a non-legacy character knew him.
And honestly I preferred him while he had Lahabrea wearing his meatsuit, because at least then he had an excuse for being a totally-unlikable wankstain. He's still a cunt (albeit after Minftits disappeared a different flavour of cunt; cunt au la Batman) but after that thing with the Fortemps kid I wish he'd just die already; like, he's past that point where he's "just a dickhead and I don't like him", now I wish he was a villain so the WoL could exact sweet justice and smash his skull open.

If you know the history of Square Enix, it would be the opposite. Dragon Quest games like IX and X paid for the development on FFXIII Trilogy and FFXIV ARR.

But overlooking who helps who, a smart company would have released DQX anyway. As even if it failed, it could be a marketing tool to promote FFXIV. Which FFXIV and DQX did have a cross marketing event. Which made no sense to western players. They got marketing for a game they can't play. Thanks Squeenix.

I foolishly did a mentor roulette a few days ago and got a KoL with a newbie tank and some inexperienced DPS. They were still on the first boss after 30 fucking minutes because they could not for the life of them figure out that you had to knock the cannisters away and shit. We ended up clearing the instance with 4 minutes to spare after wipes to the second boss because adds raped me and the DPS, then to Midgy because dodging and killing adds is hard. They weren't even fucking casters, they were just bad.

What's worse is various producers and CEOs kept making really vague claims that if you buy more DQ games, they would consider releasing DQX. Which of course never happened.

The biggest insult came when Yoshida, who was one of the five directors of DQX, came out and said they wouldn't release it because they would have to "drastically alter the game for western audiences." In other words, he thinks the west won't play an MMO unless its a clone of WoW. When the biggest appeal of DQX is it isn't a WoW clone. That's precisely why it could be successful. But SquareEnix has the foresight of a fruit fly.

Alisaie was a strange implementation, she fucked off in the first quarter of the game going "Godamn these assholes forget about grandpappy" and only shows up in the hardest raid of the game.

That is exactly their reasoning, yes. And exactly why we'll never get it. SE thinks that all the west will play are action games and WoW clones.

I mean, look at the FF7 remake and look at FFXV. They're hardly RPGs, they're action games.

Any other mmo isn't really trying to get new players at this point while ff14 constantly is


It just released at the perfect time it needed to similar to overwatch. It released in a time where tf2 was dead and dying and no other shooters on the market to compete so boom million sells.

Final Fantasy XIV as a game encourages people to just rush through dungeons. Between the 'bonus for speed completion' to the repetitive nature of leveling off dungeons to the cutscenes making people get annoyed.

It was a design flaw from the start that they didn't fix. PotD is even worse since the point is to play it multiple times starting on the bottom floor.

it would help if that wasn't entirely correct. Just look at every. single. mmo. that comes out and doesn't copy WoW (and even many that do).

DQX would have not have even 1/10 of the audience it has in Japan.
>>
>>379367681

I hope she's next for character growth. If they can make Alphinaud tolerable, I'd like them to do the same for his twin. Then they can do the same for all of the Scions they don't kill off and I'll stop hating the Scions! Tataru is fine though. She's one of the good ones.

>Its the biggest mmo in a market that is dying/pretty much one of the only relevant mmos.
WoW, despite losing 60% of its playerbase, is still many times bigger than FFXIV. EVE Online also has more consistent players. There's some Korean MMOs that are also in the running. And Dragon Quest X is sitting around 350k players just in Japan, with servers in China soon to start up. The sad thing is, DQX almost has as many players in just Japan as FFXIV does worldwide. Except when a new expansion comes out.

FFXIV is doing okay, but it is hardly the biggest MMO.

>>379367852

The MMOs that don't copy WoW are failing because of a string of issues. Either a lack of marketing or them still being content driven theme parks that don't deviate enough from WoW. If you come out with a game like Elder Scrolls or TOR, they're still content driven. Yes they do some things different from WoW, but not enough to encourage people to keep playing because people play them for a month, do all the 'content', then just go back to playing WoW.

There hasn't really been a game different enough from WoW while also being good. Every MMO developer is just making a slight variation on theme parks. So of course everyone is just going to return back to the king of theme parks.
>>
>>379367980

She disagrees with constantly sending us into danger, she tries her hardest to help despite not having talent for combat, and she is a sweet little thing who only wants the best for the WoL. Tataru was probably the only likable Scion before Alphinaud ate humble pie and grew to like us by hitching-hiking across Dravania.

I disagree. And I don't know what technology DQX is using, but they have some really amazing detail in character movement. FFXIV, as nice as it looks on the surface, is full of the same stock poses and character movements. With DQX, characters do unique animations and actions in cutscenes.

Alisaie has more of a personality based on screentime than Alphinaud, who literally has had two entire expansions worth of content with him being directly involved.

Its also telling that there appears to be some hints that the WoL in canon is actually startimg to like these challenges and the thrill of them and if given the choice would let these monsters manifest just so he/she can fight it.

It was just nice to have someone saying "you know, maybe we shouldn't be sending in one guy to do all the dangerous work. He shouldn't have to do it all."

That's because DQX probably has more than 15 staff and some semblance of budget. XIV meanwhile is run by a skeleton crew on a shoestring.

As can be seen by the types of quests they're making. When you'r on your 200th fetch quest and talking to 'Random Wood Wailer #49', its obvious they aren't going to give them a unique animation. Yet they give them two pages of fucking dialogue...

I recall in about patch 2.1 a Roegaedyn as part of the MSQ in Mor Dhona told my Au Ra character to stretch her "scaley legs" which was particularly interesting. Revisiting her on an elezen alt she said "long legs". I assume they gave each race an adjective for edge-cases like that.

>>379369073
It's canon to the main story, yes, but it's not actually PART OF the main story. There's a pretty distinct difference. Or did you forget the fact that the Coils never come up until you encounter Alisaie during Heavensward's MSQ, and only indirectly, and only if you've completed the Binding Coil sidequests themselves?
Following your train of thought would mean that the Alexander sidestory is also part of the MSQ, which is blatantly untrue.

If I remember right, there's a part in the main story where you have to go to the Arcanist's guild.

If you go there after beating the Arcanist questline, the guildmaster knows you.

If you go there before picking up Arcanist, the guildmaster gives you the spiel about considering to be one.

But if you picked up Arcanist and didn't beat the first quest, she'll say that you should really do that assignment she gave you eventually.

If you played previous FFs and did all of Coil, you'd understand what they're setting up with this

You embody the prays and hopes of entire nations and you get more powerful as you defeat ever stronger primals. A primal is you.

Grand Company NPCs (of your current GC) will refer to you by rank.
Happens probably a lot more often for players that enrolled in the Flames I assume due to their higher prevalence in the plot. Only time I think I as an Adder was referred to as such was during the Sylph quests in the leadup to the Ramuh fight.

And I have a pretty good memory for this shit too, so it might only be once. eg. I remember the NPC in question was a male duskwight.
>>
>>379369320
I mean that'd be an interesting concept. I really want this we are evil/war thing to happen now. Everyone starts having too much faith in us after we single handedly do some nigh impossible task. Tons of people starting praying to us cause we saved a city from wiping or whatever. We gain primal powers. Scions realize this and have to do some don't trust the WoL propaganda despite their wishes so people don't rely on us for everything and drop faith and thus our primal power.
>>
>>379369262

One great thing I noticed was that playing as a lalafell, they actually have NPCs look down at you. Not just in the normal game, but in cutscenes. It may seem like an inconsequential thing, but it really sets a unique mood for the game. Since in almost all other games, you just have a flat camera angle with two characters of similar height looking forward.

It also is just funny to constantly have these people obsessing over you as being the 'strong hero' when everyone else is three times your height.
>>
>>379369262
And you still have oversights like the Siren mission on Isles of Umbra where the WoL is given earplugs regardless of race
>>
>>379369320
But there's nothing supporting this theory at all, and even some things against it. Remember: Primals drain the land around them of Aether to sustain their physical forms, eventually draining it dry so that the land itself is lifeless and barren like a desert. That's what was going to happen to the Hinterlands, and eventually the surrounding wilderness if Alexander were able to fully activate. Remember that it almost completely drained the Hinterlands after a scant few seconds of activity.

The Scions also all wear gear specially created to detect things associated with Aether. Why would they only ever disable them around the WoL? They wouldn't, because that's nonsensical and borderline stupid. There's absolutely nothing backing up this "WoL is a Primal" theory, and there never will be.

>>
>>379369527

I laughed at that part. I play as a cat, so what am I supposed to do- use them as weights to hold my ears down? Are Au Ra supposed to spear them on their horns or something? It's just a stupid little oversight,sure. But it's amusing to think about the implications.

This doesn't happen if the primal is summoned into a being.

>>379368596
After Garlemaid, you decide for yourself the vest way to keep the Garleans from invading everyone.

Usurp and assume the Garlean throne yourself.
Creates an uneasy period of peace as friends and allies knows that you are a good person but became concerned about your more aggressive progression and this usurption to some is seen as a start of your descent into villainy.
>>
>>379369652
And there's nothing to prove that dot point, either. What Primal would've been summoned into the WoL? Why? When? How? For what purpose? This isn't like Ysayle for Louisouix.
>>
>>379369550
Aether theory there is a counter. We absorb Aether straight from the source itself hydaelyn.
Also we've always had an aura about us that made us look different. Between the echo and the protection of the light no one would have suspected a thing.

It does. Raubahn even calls you "Lieutenant" before your duel with him.

The primal doesn't need to be a pre-existing idea. Louisiox gets turned into Phoenix purely because of the power of the gods and people praying for salvation, most had no idea who Phoenix was.

Cats have ear canals that can conceivably be blocked. As for Au Ra though, you'd need a giant pair of earmuffs because as >>379369735 alluded Au Ra hear via vibrations through what are ostensibly external otoliths.

I expect at least something to exist that would back up the "WoL is a Primal" theory. There's nothing, and the game's been out in the form of ARR for 4 years or so now.
We all know Japan is incapable of having subtleties and nuance in their writing, so if something like the WoL being a Primal was a thing, it would've been beaten into our skulls during Heavensward. Probably either after we defeated Thordan or after the Dragonsong War. One plot dealt with a man becoming a Primal and the other dealt with a man possessed by the vengeful shade of a dragon to become something much more than a man. Which could be likened to becoming a Primal in a way.

>>379369842
Lousioux was kind of a special case, remember?
>>
>>379369891
Possibly never. How can you fight something on par with Hydaelyn in power? Besides, dark has to exist to maintain balance with light. The world goes to shit if darkness is complete eliminated.

We are one of the only people not affected by the primal echo. Which the only other person who really was immune as we were was shiva who guess was was a primal.

>>379368268
>>379368436

FF14 has a large amount of cutscenes with custom animation including facial animation. Far more than DQX. The budget and development team are also much, much bigger. I don't know how you can believe otherwise, unless you're not level 50 yet, since the main 1-50 ARR story mostly lacks custom animation due to being heavily rushed since they had a whole game to remake in a short amount of time. Everything after that is loaded with hand made animation.

The thing about primals is that they guzzle aether. They show up in the aether-vision goggles as basically beings of pure aether. If the WoL really was a primal, at the very least the scions would be able to tell.
>>
>>379369073

No it's not, retard. Coil and the Crystal Tower are canon to the main story only if you have actually done them. The references to them are only there if you have.

Same argument could have been said if they knew Yda was a fake.

They know and keep you in the dark about it because they're assholes like that.

>>379370107
Anyone with the echo is immune to tempering, numbnuts.
>>
>>379370107
We're un-temperable because we've got Hydelaen's Blessing, and the Echo on top of that. We're basically the Chosen One - literally immortal, unmoving and unstoppable.
WoL isn't a Primal, but surely they're not fully human anymore. Not with the feats they've achieved over the course of ARR.
