>The best MMO on the market right now is a Final Fantasy JRPG

How did Square Enix pull it off?
>>
because weebs
>>
>>385975086
ffxiv is not even weeb. heavensward had a ton of western influence, stormblood is literally full of black people.
>>
How do you define "the best" ?

No please, tell me. I'm curious.
>>
>>385975168
Stormblood is mostly weeb, though
>>
>>385975074
Everyone else stopped making MMOs in favor of mobile games and MOBAs. Not that difficult to be the best when there's nobody else around.

When will Square Enix release a MOBA?

Hey buddy, I played Stormblood myself but right now after you finished savage deltascape there is literally nothing to do.
Yes, it's enough to keep you busy for a month, two as a new player.

But I already grew tired of it. Same with Legion, before you call out the "WOW BABBY" card.

XI has better story but that's because they had over a decade to flesh it out.

XIV has a more detailed world obviously due to modern hardware, XI is based on 2002 limitations and now the game is dead the world is a huge awkward ghost town.

Music is subjective to a persons taste.

>>385977782
character creation queues and server login queues are two different things.
>>
>>385977440
I mean isn't that what Blizz does? It's not like even the hardest content isn't cleared within weeks of release, and all the other more casual players just bang their dick against it repeatedly until they win
part of the reason xiv is successful is that the game starts before max level. wow before max is basically filler where nothing happens

also they don't let you skip content. Every single player that gets to stormblood has cleared every single dungeon and raid of the previous expansions. WoW you just farm bullshit quests and skips 90% of the raids, dungeons, stories, etc. of previous expansions

I don't see a problem with this. By the time you reach the real endgame, you would have invested more than hundreds of hours into one character. That's enough for the average person already.

it's ironic because xiv has way more content outside raiding than wow that the neets don't care about. they just want another raid and dungeon to grind endlessly

More overworld content, and a challenging overworld in general would be a nice start. I'd love it if there was actually a point to all those monsters dotting the landscape.
More interesting FATEs instead of being shit you completely ignore.

The content drought is a problem with all theme parks that rely on linear instanced content but they have this huge overworld they just don't do anything with once you've walked through there on the MSQ route.
>>
>>385978475
Are you talking about picking a name?
>>
>>385978059
they really designed the game well with a ton of content. Between levees, fates, dungeons, guildhiests, leveling your companion, then combining all of those into a challenge mod that resets weekly and then that spawns random enlistment into your squadron

Anyone just joining the game is going to have a shit load to do. I mean fuck people grind the relic weapons.

Also xiv doesn't get the credit it deserves for having an amazing crafting system.
>>
>>385978475
Start with a background that's something like being a poor kid from the Ishgard slums that wanted more in life and struck out to be an adventurer

Maybe its because I'm juggling playing other games and have other things to do with my life, but its taken me a month and a half to get through ARR. Took some time off from story to grind a class or two up to where my quests were, though.

And I haven't touched all the other autistic time sinks in the game, like gathering or crafting or Golden Saucer bullshot.

Dungeons are the only things from that list I would call content. Like, really? Squadrons and fates? The fate system has been harped on for being mindless boring shit for two full games and they've done nothing to spice them up in Stormblood. Squadrons have always been pointless farmville garbage with no rewards to it.
>>
>>385978315

FF14's first raid took several months to be cleared, and was only ever cleared by one group before it got nerfed.

Heavensward's first raid took over 3 weeks to be cleared too by groups playing 10 hours a day, I'm pretty sure that's more than 700 wipes.

>>385979090

>>385979090
When you hit a high enough rank in your Grand Company, you unlock Adventurer Squads, which go off and do things and come back with drops, and have their own stats and progression and stuff. You "unlock" new recruits by completing Challenge Log objectives, which refresh every Tuesday.

PoTD hasn't really impacted my low level queue times. Healer and tank queues are still nigh instant, DPS queues are 10-20 minutes but you go and do other things in the meantime. Its a convenient way to grind out a level in 15 to 20 minutes but good lord is it soul crushing to do repeatedly.
>>
>>385979090
Potd spam is for DPS classes pre level 60 that have the armoury bonus. It's faster to level through dungeon spam if queue times are short (healer/tank) and past level 60.

Also, Roulette is the best thing about FFXIV
>>
>>385978175
Excalibur here, usually get ~10 people in queue. Before Stormblood, there were no queues though.

I mean I cleared Twintania in 2.0, but that was after the instance underwent like 2 weeks of maintenance and they fixed Twisters.
>>
>>385979090
You unlock grand company squadrons at 50 if your grand company rank is high enough, completing challenge log entries had a chance to have new npc recruits show up to add to your squad and you send them out on little missions and they can bring some stuff back for you depending on their team chemistry, they've also talked about letting you use them as party members at some point
As for potd it only keeps some dps players out of roulette and even then your daily level roulette bonus gives you several potd runs worth of xp so people still do it all the time, tanks and healers are easier to level through normal dungeons as well since they have a shorter queue time

Okay just for you
FATEs are really boring. They're like the public quest system from WAR minus any sort of difficulty or scripting and the vast, vast majority of them don't give so much as a cosmetic item as a reward. How would I make it more interesting? Something like the sahagin siege on the tidegate in La Noscea, except with actual dangerous enemies and perhaps zone wide consequences or benefits depending on your success. Just an idea.
I would like monsters in general to be more than pointless, pathetically weak clutter that dot the landscape and occasionally cast Heavy on you. Making the overworld dangerous helps to bring it to life. Yoshi described in an interview that he wanted to make the overworld much more dangerous in HW than it was in ARR, so that actually autorunning off the road could result in death, but never followed through with it and you can AFK walk through hordes of dragons just as easily as you can through herds of La Noscean sheep.
>>
>>385979514
On the other hand I lament the loss of those little world details, and on the other hand I think they're just a relic that people look back on with undue nostalgia. As much as older games pushed the experience of being a town tree and just chatting, modern gamers are so flooded with things to do that sitting around waiting for a boat to arrive seems like a tremendous waste of my time. That's not engaging or immersive, that's "I'm gonna tab out and read /v/ for fifteen minutes while I wait for the boat, and tab in periodically."

WoW sort of made the boats work by having the overworld be legitimately dangerous for lower and mid level characters, but most of the time travelling is just boring, not immersive.

If you need such an outrageous hyperbole to support your argument then you don't have one. Monsters that pose a threat to a traveling player is not a revolutionary concept, in fact it used to be a standard. You act like you're being personally attacked because someone wants to see some minor improvement in a game.

by blocking peoples paths with elite tier monsters. if you want to access this specific quest, you need to form a group to take down this monster. the geared out people can solo it, but the people who are still progressing through the story must cooperate together. not a outlandish concept.

Enemies should be obstacles in the way of reaching your goal. Where are you even traveling? Most games would make the roads relatively safe, whereas if you went off the road to reach some quest objective or resource you'd have to fight or avoid enemies who could slap your shit small groups.

Like again, not an insane concept. It's been done and was the standard before.

>>385980853

i appreciate simple classes. i played WHM in ARR so that says it all i suppose. i was never one for like, oldschool WoW warlock, tracking all those timers and snapshotting buffs, etc.

backflipping and corps-a-corping around through AoE circles and shit does feel pretty fucking animé whilst the actual rotation/priority is simple as shit. i was a career RDM in FFXI so i have a connection with the class, even though this one has zero connection to typical FF red mage - apart from the sweet hat.

i'm down with it personally but i imagine most people will prefer SAM. glorious nippon steel and big dick melee DPS.

Are you some kind of retard? That is so vastly removed from the subject I don't know where to start.
Everyone's talking about the common monster that covers a zone being weak and pointless, and you come in and say, "Oh well on very rare occasions a max level Hunt monster might be sitting near a quest destination." How many hunts are even aggressive? How many of those AGGRESSIVE hunts have a spawn point on an important quest spot?
Lastly what the fuck does that have to do with what is being discussed at all?

I'm not saying it's not a lot nor that XIV is dead or anything.

But it's far from being as crazy as what most shills believe. Some people still ate up the whole "5 millions active players" crap when they were talking about accounts created.

No MMOs has 5M DAU anymore. WoW was the only exception who managed to get that high and it was thanks to China.

XIV decent number are also there thanks to Japan where the competition is non-existant. Would be like saying how Lineage is extremely famous due to all Korean players...

Vanilla WoW overworld was overrated. The mobs were only dangerous if you were severely undergeared or playing a god awful spec (ret paladin). Also if you think about it, the average MMO skill level was much lower in 2004 than it is in 2017. People weren't all about theorycrafting or minmaxing, they were mostly blind about the game world and mechanics. It took years before people figured out how item levels worked.

again this was only a problem if you played a shitty spec or was undergeared. if you were a frost mage, it didn't matter if the gnolls aggro's a army. you could frost nova them all and then kite them to death with blizzard and cone of cold. for a time it was better EXP to grind that way than to do quests.

Any indoors place. Trying to pull mobs one by one. Sometimes have to pull multiple. Need to sheep, nova etc. Long mana breaks. And if you go back or have a break your progress will be lost because the mobs will be respawning. AND THEN A MOB FLEES THROUGH WALLS AND PULLS HALF OF THE BUILDING.

Technically that's halfway through the original ARR MSQ. Then you're looking at 50+ more quests, then 2.1-2.55 worth of patches (around 100 or more quests). This isn't counting the sidequests, only main story quests.
You can also do any job/class in the game because the limit is 35, so you can definitely try out everything. Palace of the Dead is available from level 17, so you can beat the floors 1-50, then play floors 51-60 with a job stone equipped to see the entire skillset of jobs at level 60.
Half of the classes get a good amount of skills to use around that point, some don't.

I haven't been able to, I waited something like two hours last time I tried (and I've tried a few times). I still have like two weeks left on my sub so I was going to try and get a party for them in PF rather than the duty finder. I hear they're going to add a raid roulette, so that might help out a lot.

I was just hoping that there'd more level 70 content than omega/susan/lakshmi and 3 dungeons which I run just for tomes though.
I might honestly be spoiled by the fact that Legion had 10 dungeons with multiple difficulties on launch. Not even trying to shill,

don't ever sacrifice too much just to raid. don't raid with friends. if you're a fag; dont raid with people you ERP with. don't change your role or commit to a bad schedule or be loyal "for the guild!". find a static on your own schedule and level, find normies that aren't dysfunctional and emotional about failure.

if its not fun and its causing stress and its hurting relations with friends, its not worth it. you can do everything in the game with welfare gear. be there purely for the fun of downing a hard challenge or dont do it.

I've played FFXIV 2.0 since before launch and the problem has always been the lack of endgame. It becomes less of an issue as time goes on and things get added but it really burns you out.

that's the halfway point in ARR. Main scenario quests go to 50, then you got another group of, what is it like 100+ quests with more story?

And that doesn't count all the side content. Just pick your class very well since it decides where you will level and how you initially see the world.

Why is BRD so fucking fun AND good right now? No 2 fights have you pressing the exact same buttons in the exact same order as other dps, I can move and dps practically 100% of the time, I can support the party, my dps itself is great.

We need ore priority systems in this game imo. Rotations are shitty.

learn to react. Most mmos are brain dead easy until end game. xiv will punish you if you don't react. Especially when you get to the primals, they are going to fuck your shit up so hard.

Well MCH animations are fucking amazing too, less DPS than BRD but they still have Palisade and Refresh/Tact, and the mobility and the whole proc system, which people can hate but I like reacting to and making decisions on them, I dunno why people like playing DRG/SAM so much when they're locked in to such a strict rotation.

XIV has the worst learning curve ever. The game treats you like a baby for almost 100 hours then suddenly when you step into your first extreme primal it busts your balls with how fast you gotta react compared to normal mode. New players have it easier though because unsync mode exists but I'll still remember shit like titan EX and Thordan ex before unsynch and echo.

You can still push people off as WAR. The shoulder tackle isn't as effective as the MCH one or the Healer AOE one tho.

It all comes down to work ethic.

Western devs are lazy. They reuse assets like they have guns to their heads to do so. They also create the laziest content possible. See Mythic dungeons in World of Warcraft. Nothing new, just adjusted numbers.

Meanwhile Eastern devs have a fire lit under their ass to innovate and it's a society that encourages putting everything you have into your work. Sucks ass for their home lives but their products are superior.

Dragons Dogma Online is more like PSO2 (online action multiplayer) than a MMORPG. Theres no persistent overworld, the towns are split up by lobbies, and the game focuses on less players playing at once. But that's not to say it's bad, no overworld and less netcode stress means they can improve their combat system and make some interesting instanced areas.

In extreme quests they give you a set amount of potions to do the entire thing, that ones long and hard and barely gives you anything to do it with, and you have to do the entire quest with it.

I'm actually kind of surprised it's doing so well. The start of the game is legit one of the worst of any MMO. There's loading screens fucking everywhere, designs of everything is super weeb and sort of dull looking, the gameplay is super dated (though so is WoW), the UI is not great and looks out of place with the rest of the aesthetic (though this is a problem with most asian MMOs)

It really shows that more than anything, name recognition and the hardcore raid community liking a game is what really saves an MMO from obscurity.

A MMO can be fun and fantastic, but if it doesn't have that endgame content that only 1% of the players will play, but that 1% makes up 95% of the vocal fanbase, then your MMO is dead in the water.

Are you sure you're not mistaking 2.0 with 1.0? 1.0 was such an abomination that name recognition couldn't save it, and there was no raid community to speak of since it didn't have raids in 1.0. It being completely relaunched saved it.

don't get greedy. else you'll attract more attention. never put up more than 1-2 at a time so you don't invest in an easily undercut market

not him, but not spending money is a great way to let it pile up. you should be swimming in company seals, so level your retainers with the stacks of ventures

It doesn't really require any input from you. Just give 'em ventures and send them on their way with a slap on the bottom.
The only annoying part is having to update their gear during the leveling process.

o3s is the most fun raid this game has had in a while.
Probably because it feels like a Coil fight and not an Alexander fight
>>
>>385993819

if you have time, 1 hour hunts. when you log off for the night, send them on an 18 hour

if you don't feel like gearing them up, quick ventures work but are slower on average

also, you can turn them into samurai/red mage and skip to level 50 to cut about 2 weeks off of leveling time, if you have leveled one of those

Before expansion I had already 100 millions, made them with some costly unspoiled gathering mats. Level a gatherer and start grinding some stuff. Each hour I gather mat that, in total, I always sell for 200k minimum

Also ofc I never spend money because I rarely spend billions in glamour and stuff
