>>383344164
the mnk and sam are two different characters

>>383344527
They aren't

>>383344527
It's the same guy, he just changed his hair.

>>383342758
Can you post a screenshot of your hours played?

Skyrim

>>383342758
Do you live under a cave? haven't you heard of Undertale? It's like earthbound but good.

Let's be real for a second.

MMO quests, are the worst thing about the genre.
Especially for a game like XIV, with those amazing raids, for them t just have "Kill 3 sharks" as a quest is baffling.

Do something with the towns.
Tell an interweaving story like the other sidequests.
Have the player figure something out rather than just travel to a mark on the map.

I'm guessing every other MMO does this too because it's just a staple by now. But it's just awful.

>>383345127
Sounds like you want to play Destiny, or a SP campaign.

>>383342758
When can I play as a qt rat?

>>383345415
XIV is already a story focused game.
"Arrange 4 stones in Yanxia" isn't helping anything.

The only sidequest that's done well in Stormblood is the Ruby Princess.

So something like having the town change or transform when quests complete.
Such a simple thing like, "Collect 3 oranges" can be made so much more interesting if that NPC opens a juice stand after that you can buy from.

That's all it needs.

>>383345127
There is usually one chain of sidequests per settlement, and if you do them all a mother chain that links them together. Of course they all end up as "kill 5 rats" or whatever but at least they have interesting mini stories

>>383345696
This is a good idea. Especially since there's finally some phasing in stormblood

I can't decide what healer to play as

>>383344770
I won't because I'm lying. I created this thread to bitch about the endless fetch quests in the main fucking story. God I really hope this game gets better.

>>383346867
Why would it ever get better? You fucking KNOW it won't get better. Just admit you're playing because you're a miserable bastard who hates himself like everyone else.

>>383346867
Play some POTD to break up the monotony. It also gives you a really good taste of how powerful your class can be at high/max levels. The dungeon crawler feel is great too.

You'll end up hating POTD though when you start spamming it to level alt classes

>>383347038
>It also gives you a really good taste of how powerful your class can be at high/max levels
I don't think doing 10% of party damage because everyone else has 50 level higher weapons will make you feel powerful

>>383347318
No mate its to see the high level skills when you're still low level and don't have access to them yet

>>383346867
You have to reach Heavensward, the first expansion.
I almost quit too ages back with all the quests and dungeon grinding.

You'll get to level 36 and think, "this is so tedious".
Then you'll get to level 47 and think, "I wish I was dead".

But then you get to Heavensward and think, "This is alright".
Then you'll beat Heavensward and think, "This is the best game ever" while this plays.

I remember playing Phantasy Star Online on Dreamcast a long time ago and enjoyed it a lot.

I got XIV this week and have been trying it out. It certainly seems a lot lonelier than PSO was, but I only have 2 or 3 hours in it.

I mostly play fighting games so I'll only be playing this for the social aspect and messing around with random people on the Internet. I'm not sure if people actually do that with this genre nowadays though. Maybe it's so old that the majority of people playing just like grinding.

I'll give it to the end of the month and see if it sparks those old PSO feelings again.

>>383347812
>one small accomplishment at the end makes 100+ hours of suffering "worth it"
Just stop, anon.

>>383348260
PSO has a different feeling, a feeling of constant progression and management.
XIV is more about overcoming in the later stages of the game.

You'll get your kicks from Palace of the Dead when you reach it.

>>383348539
It does. It's the same with Stormblood.

>>383348352
How is the last one relevant?

>>383348352
Even Tortanic doesn't have you do mundane tasks in the sheer volume as this game does. That game also gives you choices, and dialogue options.

The problem with XIV is that it was a rush job to save 1.0. It didn't have the time to do anything expansive other than collect 20 bear asses.

That said, there's no excuse for HW, Stormblood or beyond to have these same shit ass quests. Shameful.

They should have taken notes from ESO's questing. All of them are fully voiced with investigation options for more lore if you want and a lot of them involve puzzles, investigating or dungeon delving for items or people. Killing shit is just something you do along the way in most cases or because whatever you're after is being guarded. There's just simple kill quests, but overall it's a story-driven experience rather than just mindlessly mashing through dialogue.

>>383348352
It's funny for the first one hundred hours or so. Then it becomes very unfunny. Then it becomes funny again after 200 hours in.

>>383350989
Yeah, that's exactly what it needs.
I'd rather a town have one long quest like that that gave 2,000,000 exp than 8 menial maid tasks that do nothing.

>>383350989
Stormblood did get slightly better with the sidequests. They experimented with more stuff like the blowgun quests and running that shop in the Azim Steppe. Hopefully they keep it up and go for more interesting stuff.

Do you not get to do your class quests with those?

>>383349720
Leveling DRK to 60 isn't much of an effort at this point, as long as you retain any sort of semblance of interest in playing it.

Thing is even in ARR at first I fucking hated how MRD felt and only really played it to actually get to do damage in dungeons.

>>383351970
>>9m queue time
in HW it was 20+, because every shitter who couldnot play DPS jumped off to healers

>>383351720

when you jump potion you skip the job quests up to lvl 60

From Famitsu scans:

Omega 9
>UNATCO HQ
>Gunther and Anna
Standard Council fight. You know the drill.

Omega 10
>Hell's Kitchen
>JC Denton
Starts the fight in (Non Lethal) by using (Flashbang) and going into (Stealth.) The exterior of the arena will become an AoE zone, players will be forced to stack in the center. JC will appear inside the stack and fixate at on a random player, attempting to (Baton) them in the back of the head. This doesn't kill the player, but removes from the fight for the rest of its duration. In the next phase JC switches to (Lethal). Jc will now switch to his (Dragon's Tooth) which deals more damage than the baton and gives its primary target a stacking bleed effect. In the final phase, JC activates (Evasive Maneuvers) and will begin to use (Snipe). The perspective will switch to that of JC, aiming down a sniper scope, and players will have to dodge his fire.

Omega 11
>Bop Page
>World Trade center
In this fight there is a new mechanic (Money), tied to the duty gauge. Players start the fight with $100 each. Bob will leech money from players using a variety of skills. The most crucial being (Invest) and (interest.) The latter is a passive effect which causes his money to steadily grow, this effect doubles throughout the fight. Bomb uses money to hire Majestic 12 goons throughout the fight, upgrading them as he accures more money. Bob will also upgrade the room with (Security System V.1) which he will enhance to V.2, V.3, and so on throughout the fight.

Omega 12
>Helios
>Computing Core
The fight takes place inside of a stylized computer with a screen (broadcasting Helios' image) overlooking all. You don't fight Helios, but rather the components within his system. This includes GPU, CPU, multiple sticks of Ram, etc. All are targetable from the start of the fight and have various effects when brought to certain health intervals or are downed entirely. Helios will cast (Grey Death) on players, summon (Deones), and (Overheat).

Sluts, memers, somehow the combination of the worst traits of both Lalas and C@s rolled into one class - Fury help you if you find one that's one of those races, which you will.

Despite mass-pulling everything they'll still be the slowest tank ever
>GEO
BLM rejects who wanted a faster cast time, maintain their habit of being unable to move and get hit with every AoE under the sun, snowflake tanks who want to be the counter-intuitive mage-tank, don't bother to read any of their skills, somehow manage to be more 1-2-3 focused than PLDs despite coming from a DPS and should be "used to having an actual rotation"

>>383354190
Nowadays I don't even know any more. WARs are braindead unless you actually bother to Stance Dance, DRKs are 1-DA-2-DA-3-DA, and PLDs only mechanic is maintaining your mana to be above 80% and making sure you're doing the right skills for which DPS buff you have. Just take your pick between DRK and PLD, but WAR is easy too if you're not trying to push for maximum dps from the class.

>>383354245

Yeah. Maybe then they can return my beloved SCH.

Until then, BLM, no matter how bad the queue times.

This guy is deluded. The rewards aren't about effort, it's about trying to attract people to under-played roles. Also you'd have to be braindead to prefer DPS to healing/tanking.

Its just ingrained in people at this point.

Guild wars 2 in development had no kill ___ quests, just meta map events. However in playtests people said that they wanted the quests back, so they added them back in with a slight change to the regular formula, and they were for the most part praised by reviewers at the time

>>383354436
WHM and BLM had unique looks that get shit on everywhere except for their sets. Dancer wouldn't be any different. Plus I reckon they'd be DEX based instead of STR based, and wouldn't use fending gear.

Well, that certainly seemed to be how it was designed, but right now PLD is generally doing the most from what I've seen. Unless WARs have gotten their REEEE management down to perfection and they've pulled ahead, or DRKs have discovered some secret tech I'm not privy to yet.

>>383354559
DPS have the most intensive work of all in this particular game. Healing and Tanking are afterthoughts.

Thancred was kind of funny in SB.

I like how he showed up near the end and suddenly everything started going according to plan and smoothly compared to Lyse and Alisaie fucking everything up for 90% of the expansion.

You shouldn't skip cutscenes and then try to talk like you know anything. Gaius only wanted to force Eorzea into a peaceful surrender, just like he did with Ala Mhigo.

>>383356684
>FFXIV has this single player focused content and yet it is an MMO. It's fucking retarded.

Well,that was literally the plan. All out assault on the Praetorum with all three nations working together to take down the empire.

>>383356684

>Why does this franchise known for having lengthy stories make another MMO with lengthy stories?

Play a MP game if you just want to jump right in, faglord.

>>383356838
Which Gaius didn't account for, because he expected that the very existence of the Ultima Weapon would force a surrender. Which it almost did until the WoL walked into the room.

>>383356673
Do you know absolutely anything about Gaius? His plan was to intimidate Eorzea into surrender so that he wouldn't have to go through a bloody war. We're told in a sidequest in Stormblood how he stopped the development of a potent bioweapon because it didn't want it to be used.

>>383356787

>>383356948
You're full of shit, bro. Gaius waited until Ala Mhigo had a civil war so he could take it with -no casualties-. He then sat in Ala Mhigo for 15 god damn years trying to find a peaceful path to conquest before the Emperor sent Nael in because he was tired of waiting. Gaius then helped fight against Nael and the Meteor Project. Stop skipping fucking cutscenes.

>>383350989

Sidequests are story-driven though. Not only are their special hub quests that tie into the area's backstory but there's even quests for finishing off an entire area's worth of them. The more mundane sidequests are often filled with exposition as well, nothing is ever fully detached from the game world.

>>383356787
Dungeon finder killed WoW. Vanilla and TBC had a great multiplayer feel to it with all of the world expedition as a group to go from dungeon to dungeon as you were grinding out reputation or some shit.

WotLK was logging in and humping the dungeon finder or doing dailies until it was time to raid. The dungeon finder was getting put into a group with 4 other faggots you don't give two shit about and generally acting like a selfish fuck because of it.

I do not know where you're getting ala mhigo was taken with 0 casualties. I'll wait for your source of course you won't have one

>FFXIV is a shallow, shitty game

I'd argue combat is overall more complex than (modern) WoW, and the boss fight presentation is leagues better than anything in the genre

If you enjoy built up, impressive looking bosses with great music then you could do worse than XIV

>>383357074

>Raided all the way through A11s, never got the a12s clear

What does that have to do with anything you wrote in your last reply, as hilarious and as it is that you couldn't clear a12s.

I'm not saying he's a murderhobo like Stormblood's katana kefka, but he had no problem waging war on "savages"

What does playing the game's endgame content have to do with my conclusion that the gameplay in FFXIV is shallow and shitty?

Are you being retarded on purpose?

>>383357220

How is Zenos anything like Kefka?

Truly the game of nu-males.

>>383357220
To be fair Alphanauds retarded beastman plan is moronic.

Genociding them to free the world of primals is a way more realistic solution.

>>383356941

Still doesn't change the fact that we're playing an MMO with story updates every 3 months. A dead character is literally years of time spent gone. Just look at how long Haurchefant's death took to finally fade, it's 4.0 and DRK's entire 60-70 story spawned from him. It's because 2.x players literally spent over an year knowing him.

>>383357326
When you consider Garlean's immense opposition to Primals and the WoL's mysterious background, it makes a lot of sense that the WoL is a genetically created super soldier breed from the broken shards of Mothercrystal to do one and one thing alone: Kill Eikons.

>>383357326
Anyone can summon primals not just beastmen though. Are they going to genocide everyone not garlean just in case? I mean it IS the only way to be sure.

>>383357268

It's more that you were incapable of clearing it that's hilarious. So you're basically good at nothing.

>>383357220
Gaius didn't even wipe out the Qiqirn or Ananta when he had control of Gyr Abania for 20 years.

>2.5s GCD

The combat is the most shallow part. That's not to say that the phases of WoW raiding where you had to play your hotkeys like a piano was better, but the rotations in FFXIV are so dead set with this feeling of having your hand held; and then the mechanics for every fight are 99% dancing around AoEs. Let's not forget that every fight is a DPS check fight in FFXIV.

The game bears its history as a salvage job. The gameplay lacks depth in every conceivable way. You can hit 60 on a brand new job, in a role you've never played before, and master it that day because the mechanics are so shallow.

>Genocide the beastmen
>Beastmen get more and more desperate and call on their primal as they start dying
>Primals get strong enough that they're able to defeat anything
>Even if you do defeat them they probably sucked up enough aether from the land you initiate another umbral phase

>>383356948
>>383357220
Waging a war of conquest to add the people into your empire =/= genocide and Gaius was always looking for the best route to take Eorzea with minimum bloodshed. This whole argument started because of the claim that Gaius would genocide people for resisting Garlean rule and we know that's not true otherwise every Ala Mhigan would be dead inside of the Empire's borders.

>>383357625
It is a valid complaint. The rotation overall are slower. oGCD weaving isn't that complex, and the rhythm of it never changes. GCD, oGCD, GCD, oGCD, over and over again.

The combat is less focused on the rotation so that it can overly focused on positioning puzzles. Again, every fight is a DPS check fight, because the mechanics are overall too shallow to expect that players will fail them.

>>383357781

I can't imagine Susano being nearly as enjoyable of a fight without english voices

Think you lost track of your own argument. Not that there was one. It's just you going that the game is shallow yet you're incapable of clearing the easiest tiers imaginable. ERPers do better than you.

>>383357781
You still get Koji's shit translation unless you can read German which is the best language for the text story stuff.

>>383357525
They also need a bunch of crystals and aether that we keep giving them to summon their primals.

Its not like they are stubbing their toes then summoning a primal over it

>>383357831

>and the rhythm of it never changes

Right, do that BRD opener or basically any class opener in susano and tell me nothing changes. Please stop pretending like you know what you're talking about.
