either start on the msq or level sam, depending on how bad the queues are

>>379682783
Take monk to 70 with the MSQ so I can bitch about how they ruined it. Then level AST through dungeons so I can bitch about all the shitty RDM and SAMs.

>>379682783
Gonna take SMN to 70 first, then probably check out SAM after that. That Demi-Bahamut is sexy as fuck.

The GCD is so slow it gives me unhappy times. And PvP is kind of a mess, not to mention lack of players.

I want to like this game, it's so damn comfy i don't even mind the PvE parts. It just gets so stale. Am i just a bitter cunt? What actually makes you guys enjoy this game?

>>379682825
I stopped playing WHM 2 weeks into Creator, as much as I still kinda like it. SCH and AST are just more fun.

>>379683963
I like Final Fantasy but I mainly play it because of friends.

>>379683963
have you been reading up on all the changes?

PVP getting a total overhaul

>>379682527
Shouldn't you cover up a little more, missy?

>>379682783
MSQ as my BLM, doing daily roulettes as tank to keep it leveled with my main. Use the tank to dodge MSQ dungeon queues (still use dps for trials).

After MSQ and before Omega Savage, I'll level up RDM to progression raid with. Once my static has it near clear, I'll switch back to BLM.

I'm autistic and like having my first clear of important shit be on my main job.

>>379684214
Thats what got me into it, but they left. And we ended up doing different things all the time.
>>379684227
That sounds promising, i'll check it out. Though i doubt it will really offer the competitive PvP i'm addicted to.
>>379684319
I don't really get a lot of enjoyment from raids, but i do enjoy just running around in a FF theme park. I just run out of things to do after a while. The thing i enjoy the most other than PvP is leveling in dungeon groups. I wish MMO's would do more to make dungeon runs interesting and fast paced.

k thx

Played the game a while, never tried a healer before until today. Decided to unlock AST and give it a whirl.
it's so fun. Is healing in this game always this fun? I feel more like a DPS that can heal than just a dedicated healer

>Level ARM from 23 to 52 in a single day
That was a bad idea.

>>379685157
No because you can't save and carry everything.

>>379685157
everything in this game is a dps class

>>379685106
How is it a general when we're talking about an expansion coming out in six days you tool? do you visit all the Persona threads too? Waifu threads? Fuck off.
>>379684991
interesting and fast seems like a hard thing to pull off. I wouldn't mind more faceroll dungeons where you butcher massive scores of enemies occasionally punctuated by a challenging miniboss or something. Or dungeons that actually required puzzle solving and exploration

>>379682783
Buy all the SAM weapons and make the primal weapons to sell on the MB. Then I'll do the MSQ as DRG til the WoL gets BTFO, at which I'll level SAM to continue the MSQ

>A12 on Monk
What did I do to deserve this?

>>379682527
Is the game worth getting? I havent had a good mmo to grind since i got tired out on BnS and Wildstar before that (rip wildstar). All I heard from FFXIV were the horror stories regarding its initial launch and was scared away. I am currently looking at either this or black desert online? Any recommendations?

>>379685498
the original ffxiv and the relaunch are completely different games
also there's a trial but low level combat is a bit shitty so keep that in mind

>>379685276
puzzle solving and exploration just won't work in content meant to be repeated because people will just find an optimal way to solve them and stick to it. unless you can come up with random generated puzzles or some shit

>>379683963

>GCD is slow

Stop being a casual and start raiding, faggot.

Anyone complaining about the GCD is guaranteed to be a shitter who has never actually played the game at a competent level.

>>379685235
What's it like healing the higher level content? Right now in shit like haukke manor I'm casting maybe 4-5 damage spells per one heal

>>379685498
The expansion is coming soon on the 20th, a lot of changes to the game are coming up : https://docs.google.com/document/d/14SbRI6EBkgUfQxaQM-qIwN7c__Hvuk4vW6VN11OlKUo/pub

If you're a fan of FF, you'll enjoy a lot of the callbacks and references.

ARR main story stuff can be a bit of a slog, but HW is so much more better.

>>379685478
>Then I'll do the MSQ as DRG til the WoL gets BTFO, at which I'll level SAM to continue the MSQ

explain

Territory control in the game world similar to FFXIs when?

>>379685498
1.0 was bad, the patches way after that were improved but it's still not good for company face, gets revamped into 2.0 (ARR) and is more or less a WoW clone, got very good and/or interesting raid and trial wise from Titan extreme to Final Coil.
3.0 was their first expansion, very bumpy start, 4.0 they seemed to have possibly learned from their mistakes in some aspects, others seem a bit hampered.
I'd recommend it over BDO.

>>379685493
What's the issue here, you can go through that entire fight without dropping GL3

>>379685740
I actually was hoping we'd have something like this, I miss the pride we'd get for our alliances

(fuckin' LASTOK)

>>379682783
head straight over to the saucer to see if all this mgp ive been grinding was worth it

>>379685276
As long as it's challenging, i'd accept anything. The biggest problem i see is that so much content is easy and boring. You're just going through the motions, and with bosses all you have to do is not stand in the big orangy circles.
Sometimes it's nice to just sit back and chew through an army of enemies. Maybe the solution would be to add a higher difficulty setting that allows tryhards to have fun too.
I have to admit, i'm that guy you hate that insists on taking the biggest pulls and completing everything at SANIC speed. It's just more fun that way, it's not like i'm on a timetable, i just enjoy the misery.

>>379685493
>>379685806

Speaking of monk, I just got to level 60 and learned a new Tornado kick that immediately drops GLwhen used? am I missing something here? Is this a complete fucking joke?

I really do enjoy being pushed to the limit, it's a much more satisfying victory, I just like pinatas between the absolute shitfest white knuckle moments

>>379685659
It really depends on the group and what raid you are doing. A lot of people here say Savage is easy but it's pretty difficult to get any kind of DPS in without a good group. Something like healing Faust in A9S can require spamming heals sometimes.

>>379686150
>>379685893
why is xiv comedy so bad

>>379685736
Not him, I'm guess it's either to get to the hyped "shit hits the fan" part and avoid spoilers, or to follow the "canon-like" progression of the trailer (WoL is defeated as X job, then becomes SAM to defeat super bad garlean who also uses nippon steel).
I will do the same thing.

Is that Alisaie on the right?

Pretty much becomes the opposite ratio of healing spells to damaging spells.

Naw, what they're going to do is have you do a quick single player scenario and have Xenos come up to you in a cutscene afterwards but just before you fight something happens to separate you.

>>379686331
If you've never played before you won't make it far enough to access the expansion stuff before it releases. The new expansion comes with the previous expansion, so if you decide you like the trial you only need to buy the base game + stormblood. If you plan on being a dps it's probably better to start now since two new dps classes are releasing with the expansion so the queues will probably be a bit fucked for a while with everyone leveling the new stuff.

XIV for some reason only attracts lazy people with no sense of humor (and zero editing skills).
The community accepts and embraces it because they are starved for fan-made content, so anything gets a thumbs up.

What's the most populated server now, still gilgamesh? And is there anyway to speed through the part of the story when you're prepping a banquet for 40 hours and 47 dungeons?

>>379686507
Judging by the trailer, yes. She seems appears like she might be in this MSQ more than Alphy this xpac.

>>379686628
Balmung and its degeneracy is actually the highest active population server apparently.

>>379686628
Balmung has always been more populated than Gilgamesh.

>>379686628
Balmung followed by Gilgamesh, except you can completely disregard Balmung cause it's filled with shitters who are genuinely bad at the game and it's locked anyway

>>379686628
Most populated NA servers are still Gilga and Balmung but they're gonna be locked out for at least another month

In 6 days you could level a character from lvl 1 to 60 and beat the entire story. So yes its plenty of time.

Depends if you are a neet or have a real job or not. But seeing as you are at least at heavensward even if you have a job you can easily accomplish everything if you focus on the content and not posting in these threads.

>>379686892
I'm gonna bet the total idiocy of the scions all doing whatever the fuck they want after reuniting is going to result in the trailer's bad times, and Alphinaud's gonna realize they need central management and go back to the Rising Stones to both look after Y'Shtola's corpse and coordinate what everyone's doing. Thancred will also hopefully be off doing something entirely different and unrelated.

Conveniently writing out most the scions again after a probably grating first few hours of Stormblood and allowing us to have a more compact, human story with Alisae, Lyse, and [regional character]

I like to think that WoL will use his time in Doma to learn new tricks from them, then use said tricks for a round 2 with Zenos. Katana training is just my "trick" of choice.

>>379686585
Something like that will probably happen, but you get hit pretty hard by Zenos in the trailer, similar to what happened to Lyse. I think that you will escape with her (probably because everyone else will tell you to save her life) while Zenos and his pet mhigger is murdering everyone else.

This is literal fag behaviour. It's not like FF has much original shit in it, so you're just flipping over some nips stealing from mythology they don't understand and misinterpreting what some dumb white hicks put in their D&D games which is misinterpretations themselves?

If I could explain this player base to you I fucking would. My friend in question is a EQ 1 raider or was and now plays this game super casually. He bothers leveling up every class cause he says he is bored with nothing to do but STILL, FUCKING STILL refuses to do raid content. I can't understand autism.I'm glad I was born normal.

>>379687194
The highest MSQ dungeon requires i230, and it's a bit of a grind to reach i230 so unless you have tons of gil to just buy 7 pieces of i250 gear, and then wear the rest i200~i230 gear, you might only make i230 by poopsocking. Someone correct me if there's a fast way to reach i230. I had to do a combination of doing Gubal hard/roulettes, ARF, and Weeping City until I basically had a full set of i230 gear. You could probably afford one i260 scripture accessory to help speed up the ilvl raising tho. Just a little.

I still genuinely don't know why they brought those fucks back in the first place.

Yda/Lyse? Sure, she has ties to Ala Mhigo so why not. But the rest, especially Y'shtola and Thancred, have done sweet fuck all since they returned. If those two die in SB, I'll be relieved, but still very confused as to why they bothered making us drag them back into the story for HW. Were they afraid that with Alphinaud, Estinien, Aymeric and Ysayle in HW players were actually starting to like the 'main' characters for fucking once?

Dude holy shit
Almost EVERY SINGLE piece of content in the entire fucking game referrences a previous final fantasy game in some aspect. The game is literally final fantasy reference: the MMO

>>379684227
PVP is still going to be a shit show. MMORPGs are not designed for pvp. The closest one has gotten is blade and soul and it's still unbalanced as fuck and cares more about ping reaction times than proper skill.

WoW can't even get it's pvp right as seeing as XIV uses a ton of ideas from wow... well it's just being overhauled into a different mess from what it is now.

Anyway, it should be more than doable, you could probably do it in two days easy, just ignore sidequest shit like Alexander and Mhach and anything else you don't have to do.
Not sure why you'd bother at all with this game if you find actually playing it such a chore, though.

A youtuber won despite having a shit tier script solely cause more popular. Ehh shit happens I guess, I'll wait till next event and win that one instead and try twice as hard.

Can write a better script, have better editing, but end of the day its all just a popularity contest, like high school all over again.

>>379687606
No idea, honestly most of the people actually associated with the Scions or 3 City-States aren't very likable. Raubahn and Pippin seem okay, but who knows if Raubahn would've behaved differently had you been framed for the Admiral's death or some similar shit elsewhere.

It feels like they maybe did too good of a job in Heavensward separating us completely from prior friends to sell this new cast that we work with on fairly even ground.

Seeing Elf Pope being slain by a tacky catgirl warrior makes me feel even more sorry for him.

You'll have to skip every dungeon ad raid in the game then, because they're all references. All of them. The only major boss so far that isn't a reference to another FF game is Ravana.

>>379687820
When was the Manderville released? I've never kept up with the game's casual content, but I at least got that emote. So that makes me think nothing substantial has come out since then.

Insult to Monks would be if Widargelt is no where to be found in SB even though he's related to the former Ala Mighan king.
And instead Erik shows up and is the main Monk NPC that contributes to SB's MSQ by having you stick more rods into the ground.

This game needs a server with open world pvp. Questing is lonely and boring without it

Merchandising. Literally every bitch on my server bought Y'shtola's upgraded gear when it came out.

If the difference in required time between Relic and Anima is any indicator, they'll be even easier in SB.

>>379688097
Except Estinien involvement was shown even before the launch.

Widargelt is somehow nowhere to be seen in all the trailer shown so far.

We got the exclamation mark for last year's Gold Saucer, the Power Ranger emotes for a seasonal somewhere in there, and before that the Battle Stance and Victory emotes.

Reasonably there will probably be some more seasonal emotes but those are usually gimmicky while the cash shop only ones are much more relevant.

>>379688152
Y'shtola's new look is so far removed from her old one they could've just slapped it on a new character and called it a day.

I liked Minfilia more than most, but I'm glad she's gone.

If she was still around, then she'd be getting all the hate, while characters like Y'shtola and Thancred get off, free of criticism; like in ARR. With her gone, most people see how just fucking useless a lot of the Scions really are, and that a lot of the problems 'Minfilia' had; like rescue missions (Tataru...), and reporting back/pointless tasks (Alphinaud) still occur without her, and are a bigger problem of the story.

>>379688291
>they could've just slapped it on a new character and called it a day
I really wish they did that. Minfilia had way more screen time and some sort of involvement with WoL, but they still kicked her out of the story (except for the whole puppet thing that won't be relevant again for a very long time). And yet Y'shtola and Thancred not only are back but are also trying to be relevant, even though Krile is already doing Y'shtola's job (in a less boring way), and new Thancred's role is to cry about Muhfillia.
"killing" characters using the magic of noble off-screen sacrifices was a mistake. I hope they fix it in SB.

I wish this wasn't the case, but it certainly seems to be true.

A lot of FF fans gravitate towards utterly bland, shit characters with no personality, but are 'cute'. See also; Lightning's popularity.

>>379689353
It will forever be a mystery. I don't know why people stumble so hard on the fight, it overlaps multiple types of dodging like... twice, which can overwhelm some newer players I guess, but overall it's all stuff we've seen before and with pretty forgiving numbers.

Absolutely.

I knew most of them were going to come back during HW, but as we got to know Estinien, Ysayle and Alphinaud developed into a significantly less-shit character... I started to think that maybe the Scions really were finally gone. But HW introduced a whole bunch of potentially interesting characters; like Regula, and Hilda, that were almost immediately shoved to the side so we could drag the fucking Scions back into the spotlight. Just in time for them to do absolutely nothing.

Mogstation. If you can't put it there, look through the email you got the key in and it should link you to a site to give you your key.

SE is retarded like that.

i'm running RDM in BLUE glimglams and there's nothing you can do to stop me

>>379690304
but ffxiv is a bad story and cutscenes are bad, theres no voice acting and the narrative has your character being on the sidelines for most cutscenes just as a witness/ bipartisan witness

its shit everyone should skip the cutscenes of this terrible mmo

>>379690446
What there is a poroggo minion? How do I get / how did I not know this?

Don't answer second question I know how, it's called I'm a moron.

>>379690460
Cutscenes in an MMO are hardly meat. Cheese maybe. Sometimes pickles though.

>>379690491
First Coil caster gear looks pretty sharp in blue.

>>379689814
It's the only stuff I read since I think this and XV have the most boring stories.

>>379690460
Caring about MMO lore is the same as playing Story mode in fighting game, theres no fucking point, wont make you any better at the game.

>>379690414

Class quests are in no way more important to pay attention to than side story quests.

Though people who aren't that interested in story have no reason to do stuff like Hildibrand in the first place, I suppose.

>>379690518
In this game they are. Everything in XIV revolves around the main story and the main story is where they focus the most of their development.

>>379690460
I've got a goober of an acquaintance that doesn't give a rats ass about spoilers or the story in general. Just wants to race to the finish to do end-game, gear up, and e-peen about it. Real wet blanket for the FC.

>>379689356
Sadly, she is.

Y'shtola is very popular. I can only assume for being a "hot catslut", because it's not like she's got a personality, story arc or any other requirements you'd think a character would need to be endearing. But she stands alongside Lightning in Dissidia, so clearly you don't need an actual 'character' to be popular.

>>379686078
How can anyone over 12 find that dude funny?

>>379690506

Nice bait.

>>379690516
It's from the MSQ. Impossible to miss unless you threw it away.

>>379689814

Hell, I usually even go read the final quest entry for each quest which you can only find in the Completed quests section.

Why does this game still lack the very basic things you'd expect a game to have?

Where is the fucking bank for materials or space equipment? Why is the chat UI so fucking clunky and limited to four tabs at once? Why is the majority of the content in the game itself tied to the main story quest line which is agonizingly long, poorly written and has a great deal of, "walk across the world to talk to a single NPC and then talk to another!" WHERE IS THE FUCKING BANK? Where is addon support?

They aren't kidding when they say this game is held back by it being tethered to the fucking console.

>>379690552
No, it's like reading the story of a JRPG.

So finally finish the msq ealier today with NIN. Started playing over a month ago so somewhat new since only 1 lvl 60. So I want to main a DRK for storm because tank and they look badass. Is potd really the best way or should I just spam duty roulette and get a feel for tanking and the job in general even with storm changes. I have a ironworks set pretty much already for him

holy fuck anon you've done it

>>379690516
You get it for doing the unlock quest for the Antitower. As >>379690623 said, it's impossible to miss.

>>379690552
>Alliance players

>>379690641
Retainers are used for additional space. You get 2 free ones.

>>379690642
Not spoiling the story here by saying it's a shitty soap-opera tier story that isn't worth reading most of the time.

Get a load of this guy

>>379689814
Said in different post.

I read it in main story, raid story, class story, and event story.

Random side quest I don't give a fuck about.
>>379690567
Class story is written out as a full story. Most side quest are just one shots. Oh there is one side quest I've been reading and thats the moogle mail. That being said I've completed every hilibrand quest without reading it once and I do regret it. One day I'll look up what the quest said if i'm ever not lazy.
>>379690623
I don't think I did...probably
>>379690684
I'll double check after my anime episode, cause I sure as fuck don't remember it

>>379690552
Video games aren't just about acquiring proficiency, you know.

>>379690574
Those type of people quickly get bored and whine about lack of content.

>>379690694
Why the fuck are my servants my bank? What is wrong with the chest in my room actually taking in items?

What's the fucking deal with foreign MMO devs that make every little thing like pulling teeth?

>>379690607
Why don't they just make her the leader of the Scions at this point

>>379690694
Don't respond to desperate wowcancer.

>>379690641
>Bank
Retainers function as a sort of wonky bank. Plus I think theres an armoury chest in your room in the various Inns.

>0 addon support to the point where you can get banned for using the few that exist
it sucks anon. it sucks fucking hard.

>>379689271
Those tiddies were what kept me going through that book phase

>>379690703
Like I said, a JRPG.

>>379690771
Just fuck off and unsub wowfugee

>>379690641
The bank is the retainer and even the FC chest if you're that kind of fucker. It's a jRPG tied to an MMO, of course shit is going to be tied behind the main story.

>needing addon support
Bethesda general is that way >>>/vg/

I have my character in walk-mode at all times unless something urgent in the story is taking place. Of course I read the lore.

I can only imagine the books there.

Thanks senpaitachi, i can sleep in peace now.

>>379690771
The armoire is used for special limited time gear. Mostly AF gear and seasonal stuff.

>>379682783
I'm between:
>Do MSQ as PLD and "waste" the quests on a job that level easily by spamming dungeons
>Do MSQ as SAM or RDM and eat hour long queues
>Do MSQ quests as SAM or RDM while spamming dungeons as PLD
Is not like it would be the first time I did a MSQ with two jobs at once

Nignogg ate pugs for breakfast on release day. It was fantastic

>>379690782
You don't get banned for using add-ons unless you feel the need to harass others. It's perfectly acceptable to use ACT to be parse if you aren't a douche about it.

>>379690892
Why would any of this be an actual issue or necessity, though?
