It's good but it is an mmo. If you don't like mmos you probably won't like this.
>>
>>381634291
I do love mmos. Is this game a huge grindfest and is there any pay2win aspects to it?
>>
>>381634176
It's pretty good if you have friends, you should give it a try but XV is better.
>>
>>381634410
Depends on what your definition of grindfest is. Does it take an ungodly amount of time to hit max level? No, but after you've completed the story with one class, you'll have to grind FATES (world events) to get experience. FATES aren't as exciting as they sound; you just kill mobs.
>>
>>381634726
>Does it take an ungodly amount of time to hit max level? No
Wait, we're talking about FFXIV here right? It takes a fuckton of time to hit max level if you do MSQ's.
>>
>>381634914
You can only the MSQ once and you're supposed to enjoy that shit. I mean fine, if you just want to powerlevel then you're right.

>>381634726
>you'll have to grind FATEs
that was only around when the game was first out, now that there's roulettes, palace of the dead and now PvP it's not so bad
PotD is still a pain in the ass to grind with though

Is SAM still consistently good throughout the levels?
I notice I'm taking a dump on everyone else at 50, but I'm falling behind the ranged dps at 60 (then again it could be the fight because everything teleports around like crazy and don't last long enough for me to set up my shit) and I'm not well geared enough to check what it's like at 61-70

If you're fresh to the role and the game then it's pretty bad, but it takes 15 something hours of autistic random generated dungeon grinding to get a job to 60 and frankly for alt jobs you could just work for one hour and buy a potion using that money

Realistically, budget probably didn't go to music as much as other assets.

Soken is a salaried exempt employee of Square Enix so he doesn't make any royalties or income off his music except from the wages he gets.

I'd estimate he'd be getting paid in the low 6 figures (~$100k - 110k) which still isn't much compared to composers who go off on their old and freelance on projects.

Getting your main class to max level is easy. I literally never grind, just do daily roullettes and MSQ and I'm almost level 70. Roullettes give you bonus exp every day, and if you log out in a town you get bonus rested exp, which makes leveling even faster than it already is.

Now, if you want to level more than one class or god forbid crafting/gathering classes, I hope you've got a good podcast to listen to. I reccomend the Joe Rogan Experience.
>>
>>381638470
You can try to level up 11 different class in any other game and I guarantee it would take 5 times as long.

>Infinite gear grinding treadmill

not to mention how fucking empty that fucking mmo is. Everyone acts like there is fucking population, what they leave out is that the population is only in select server clusters.

Most of them are fucking empty as fuck, which means you got like only TWO servers that are full of people where as the other 10 servers are abandoned cause everyone server swapped as soon as the option became available.

So those queue timers are cause 500 players are trying to fit into a 300 player server. Thats an exaggeration but the thousands of so called online people will not exist once you get on, it'll feel pretty empty and everyone is anti social as fuck to top it off.

basically its shit, but fags who LOVE THE GRIND and only to GRIND as content will love it, but turn around and complain at other grindy mmos for being grindy.

no, WoW hit bottled lightning for MMOs and Call of Duty did the same for console shooters.

Immediately everyone tried to copy their recipe and thats why so many are very fucking blatant copies. Streamlined pieces of shit is what hits the market now, and people consider this acceptable.

You know what happens when an MMO doesn't adhere to that streamlining? BDO, guess how much hate that game gets?

Its pretty much mabinogi, it isn't SWG, but it hits closer to pre-WoW than anything anyone else is playing right now.
>>
>>381639103

Anyone else feel like they really fucked up the scale on Doma? If capturing the castle was just the first part of a plan and then they told us to fuck off it might have been fine but immediately after they somehow have a provisional government set up and the whole country is free.

You act like Halo was as big a deal when it was really MODERN WARFARE that fucking took their recipe and hit 10 trillion is sales like WoW did.

there is a reason why we see so many "modern warfare" like clones and not a bunch of Halo clones in the market smartass.

It's the most expensive mmorpg on the market and it's nowhere near good enough to warrant it.

The updates are poor (used to be a lot better but not anymore) and the game is boring, endgame revolves doing the same few things over and over and over again. PVP is a mess, combat is terrible, content is extrememly bad and most of the models in the game are direct rips from another title I played when I was a kid (ffxi)

It's crap. The only reason to play this game is to cyber with other men pretending to be women, and if you want to do that there are plenty of f2p games that offer it just as well.

Seemed to me like that's kind of what they were going for. That there were barely any people left after the empire conscripted or executed most of them. They killed entire families for basically no reason at all. It was a country of very few remnants that faced the threat of complete extermination on a daily basis. Zenos and Yosutyu ruled like that. Gaius seemed to be the only one interested in keeping people alive to be imperial subjects rather than just corpses and he's been out of the game for a long time.

While I agree that it was a little weird that everything was a-okay after taking the castle, the amount of people in Doma seemed appropriate and helped sell the desperation.

WAR got nerfed pretty hard, DRK was simplified and turned into old PLD, PLD got nothing but buffs to exactly what they needed and more and is the strongest and the most fun to play.

literally everyone is crawling at your feat, you don't have a single quest where you don't read "the hero of Eorzea" you're constantly reminded on how you're the only warrior of light and how you free everyone.

they gave you the imperial commander you bully through the whole story, the main villain is literally your rival, every time there's a "trial" where "a lot of people die" the WoL is always one of the first to breeze is first.

read better, the "praise" Lyse get is more consolation people give her for walking in the WoL's shadow and the only reason she becomes commander is because you don't want the role

FF14 is a good MMO because it's not addicting but it'll make you want to come back to it every now and then to do the new content. But trying to play it like a usual grindy MMO that you sub for months on end is literally impossible unless you're some mega autist. You're always stuck grinding 2 dungeons for months, 1 time a day about 4-5 times a week before you hit the weekly cap on the currency needed to buy the gear you want. But there's no real payoff to getting good gear either unless you're in the 1% of hardcore raiders.

the only diff between winning and not winning is getting 50% of the seals you would normally. EXP is the same

"Alright, here's your loot. Enjoy."

It's an MMO. There's no mechanical skill required; at worst you might need to rote-memorise some mechanics. Basically just don't be a complete dipshit and you can clear any challenge. The problem is there's a lot, a lot, a lot lot lot, a FUCKING lot of dipshits kicking around and there's absolutely no barriers for participation so they infest every corner of endgame and fuck shit up for everyone.

Been loving PLD ever since I jumped it but I sort of wish I would have done WAR since it uses giant axes, even though it's certainly less useful to have.
I could level it up too but it'd be a 15-70 grind, and that's a lot of potd/pvp.

What are you talking about? WAR and DRK are still beasts compared to PLD. PLDs niche was always the tannkiness, and they buffed that. But the reason people didn't use PLD was because they wanted / needed the DPS that only a WAR or DRK could provide. Even with the slight boost in DPS that PLD got it's still going to be the worst one out of the trio.

So now that umbral hearts reduce flare mp cost and it's possible to cast two flares with mp to spare, is it better to go fire2-fire2-flare-flare or just straight up skip to flare-flare? Flare doesn't give a fuck about how many umbral hearts are left, so as long as one umbral heart is there you can cast a second flare right after, but fire2 feels weak.

Also foul is pretty good. I didn't expect much from it since it's not an explosion, but it hits 15-22k easy with just af3 gear.

I don't think you understand, they are not based on the ffxi models. They are not taken from and improved upon, they are identical in every way in almost every case. The models are the same and so are the skins, this is pretty much asset flipping like you get on steam trash games.

It's more the rhetoric of, "This shit's been going on for literally 30 years now. Why the fuck would I care if they cut that corner for a minor part of the content that I'm looking at for 15 seconds before I destroy it if it means there's more content in general?"

I don't give 2 shits, it works. It's obviously not top quality, and your reasons stated are still very true and I agree, especially with the cash shop (and the stingy jews not extending our subs for the lost 4 days of server migration + 3 literally-unplayable early access days) but in FF if you don't expect laziness on mobs you don't know the series. It's easier now that they share a uniform model engine at least, they even imported FFXI's Shantotto a couple years ago too, they imported Lightning's ugly-ass skinny-knee'd crackwhore model, and they're porting between XIV and Mobius like it's nothing, but that shows a mix of laziness but also clever/resourcefulness that lets them do work elsewhere.

The number of imported models isn't that bad, and generally cherrypicked, it's not like they're not adding new ones too.

>>All content void, only "end game"
I think it depends on how you look at the game. If you're somebody whose going to rush to end-game, complain that nobody is doing the old content, and then complain that FFXIV is like everything else on the market, no shit. You made it that way - you're the one whose playing it. You can't expect the game, or other players, to shape your gaming experience to how you want to play. The game doesn't know, and the other players sure don't know.

If you actually do shit as it comes up and don't look at a guide every step of the way, the game is better. I just started HS after doing some of the old trials (just need to do the Extreme variants of the Primals, and then I'd have done all of the ARR trials), dungeons, and a raid. I watched cutscenes and played at my own pace, rather than attempting to "catch up" because the other content is "void". I will admit that it's harder to do old content (I had to wait 20 minutes with three friends to do the Labyrinth of the Ancients, for example), but it's not impossible. People do duty roulettes for the EXP bonus, which puts them into lower levelled content regularly. It also helps that there is an incentive to do older content for glamour purposes, so theoretically, content with gear that looks good will be run.

If you really want to do old content, I'd recommend to get, or make, a group of friends and tough it out. That's what I'm doing, and it's fun. Hell, some of them haven't done it before because they rushed past it: so they get to do content they haven't done.

Maybe you'll actually have some fun.

No the fuck he was not. I had a group of randos that two shotted Shinryu. Meanwhile it took a damn eternity for people to stop getting anally annihilated by Thordan and Sephirot.

Man, Sephirot farming was the worst shit ever. "Farm" groups that can't get past adds, and the groups that can only last 3 runs before disbanding.
>>
>>381646415
because queues don't matter when you have a tank that feeds your dps verity.

So who do you think is going to die before the expansion is over?

They had a lot of deathflags that went nowhere this time, but 3.0 had the two that it did, plus Papalymo later on and...Sort of Minfilia?

Someone that matters has to bite it at some point.

No they don't and considering they let gosetsu live despite him finding his peace and fulfilling his purpose I highly doubt we'll see anyone die this xpac unless they introduce some minor character in 4.1 that they can kill off in 4.4 to lead us into whatever is next

>>381646530
well Y'shtola's already gotten fucked once as it is, but at the same time, she's the "Ambassador" of FFXIV to other games, so she'll probably never die.

Krile's a candidate, though kinda new. Yda/Lyse probably is and I honestly hope she does, I hate the new character.

Thancred's already had his near-death experience and arc, Alphinaud and his sister are probably going to be with us forever until they pull some Palom & Porom-level shit by petrifying themselves to save us from certain crushing doom 2-3 expansions from now.

Bet you anything though that Raubahn gets a Magitek arm replacement before 5.0 hits. Either by choice, or by force if he ends up kidnapped halfway into the patch and has it forcibly added with some kinda Mind Control tiara a la Terra. I can already fucking see the cliche plot twist where the Empire turns the "Bull of Ala Mhigo" against Ala Mhigo.

Dungeons just feel really horrible and slow due to Unleash, Blood Price, and Dark Passenger being nerfed. You have to spam Abyssal Drain over and over again to keep threat on packs and pray the Samurai doesn't crit something. Things aren't helped by the new aoe skill being literally worthless.

The Primals are a much more engaging since there's no aoe to deal with, and you can just focus on building up Bloodspiller. Weaving Blackest Night in to protect teammates is great fun, as well.

Role skills are fucking retarded, and even more retarded than cross-class skills. The whole idea needs to be nuked from orbit.

Let's just take a look:

>Break
completely pointless and thrown in for no reason
>Protect
This shit needs to be removed entirely. A placebo DEF buff that lasts forever and doesn't really do anything but is basically required? Why even have it in game? Just remove it entirely. It'd make sense if only WHM had it and served as a a nice bonus if you brought one in your party.
>Esuna
This one REALLY grinds my fucking gears. Retards already never dispelled anything, so why do this? By making it a Role Skill, it gives people the impression that it's an optional ability. It's obviously not though, so why even make it a choice if people are going to be required to take it regardless?
>Rescue
A meme ability that they literally stole from WoW. It's pointless and the stipulations make it even worse. In WoW it's okay because classes have lots of weird/joke/extra/utility abilities, and Leap of Faith (the original Rescue) is just something priests get to dick around with for free.
>Rampart
How about you design your tanks with interesting, unique defensive CDs instead of having a shared "Designing MMO Tank Classes for Dummies" ability with a long CD?
>Low Blow
Same problem as Esuna. Why give retards the idea that an interrupt is optional?
>Provoke
Same as Esuna/Low Blow

Again, there's so few role skills, and even fewer that are good, that there's basically no real choice to be had.

They should scrap cross class/role skills entirely. Give everyone role-specific abilities baseline (taunt/dispel/interrupt), and then implement something like WoW's talent system that allows you to pick from a pool of similar abilities/traits based on what you actually want to use or depending on the specific encounter.
>>
>>381651456
It was a perfect change, what the fuck were they thinking to revert it.
>>381651562
yea SB STR acc are locked to dps classes
>>
>>381652046
Doesn't that sum up this whole game? No choices to be made.

Every single BLM you'll see will play the same. You won't have "oh this guy is specialized in frost", "that guy focuses on lightning" etc.
>>
>>381652046
Stop playing with randoms or git gud enough to stop playing with shitters, the idea isn't for people to think they're optional, it's to give more options if someone else in your group already has taken a skill
>>
>>381652145
I'm not asking for specs or anything, all I'm saying is that the Role Skill system is retarded because all it offers is the illusion of choice but nothing real.
>>
Why didn't they call Thunder "bolt" in this game if they were numbering the spells? Bolt sounds better when applying a number afterwards where as Thundara has a better ring than Thunder II
>>
>>381652210
I don't know, I still think it would be vastly more interesting if we had talent trees with different builds coming out of it
>>
>>381652218
Westerners might get to confused by thunder/thundara/thundaga/etc so they had to number them for our little brains to understand
>>
>>381652269
which is pointless, you know it if you played WoW or any mmo with that feature even a little. You have one optimal build and playstyle for class, unless it can have different roles.
>>
>>381652159
Options like what, dumbass?

Okay, so you're healing in a full party?

>Esuna
>Lucid Dreaming
>Swiftcast
>Largeass
>Protect

UH OH, other guy took Protect? Now what? Surecast, Eye for an Eye? Wait, not those? You want Break or Rescue instead? Get real, there's no choice because you have so many slots, and so many of the role skills are garbage.
>>
>>381652467
>UH OH, other guy took Protect? Now what? Surecast, Eye for an Eye
Yes you dumbass, not my fault you can't see past the basics
>>
>>381652463
Back when WoW wasn't as "MUH PARSE" as it is now people were perfectly fine playing a spec that did a bit less damage but they found a lot more fun.
>>
>>381652463
I agree with you. I always say this about RPGs and people always call me retarded. That's why I like WoW's new talent system.

RPGs should be about a handful of impactful, fun, and noticeable changes rather than an endless steam of meaningless choices (which also have a "correct" answer).
