Final fantasy XIV any good?

[Myobi]

(I would say say FF players need to learn to unsub / take breaks (and they should), but the housing system does make it extremely punitive.)

Its how I roll, I hop in time to time, clear the main story, raid a bit, fuck around with some side content, and fuck off to other video games for a couple of patches.

I don't care about housing, but it seems that the island is bound to work as some sort of alternative to it soon enough.

Oh, as for the WTF am I reading from the previous post, just a little silly joke aimed at "the viera queen" user in this thread that keeps getting butthurt everytime some criticizes anything related to the game

People get attached to a game or piece of media and see "attacks" on it as an attack against them. Nothing unique to her but I tried to discourage her from it.

I loved the story of ShB (I'm only around somewhere like 5.3), but I suspect I might end up in a similar place if they continue down the path of looking for new players at the expense of keeping veterans interested.

At this point I'm essentially praying they realise their error with Healers -- and why Sage, the only remotely unique playing one, is found in almost every raid -- and stop homogenising them, but I'm not confident they won't look at the atrociously low number of people playing Healer and decide they didn't dumb it down enough. There just feels like such a blatant disconnect between whoever is designing instanced content, and whoever is responsible for Healer job design.

People be lookin at companies like "Look at me, you are my personality now!".

Shadow Bringers was my fav. part of it as well.

Everything with Emet Selch and

end of 5.0

his last words were total tear jerkers

.

"Look at me, you are my personality now!".

Something like that. Fanboying behaviour begets fangirling behaviour; people get defensive because others get defensive about their own special interest and attack other things whose popularity seems to challenge it. All ultimately silly though.

Nahhh

I give up.

When is the graphics remaster cuming?

 

[Val the Moofia Boss]

When is the graphics remaster cuming?

7.0 but it's just slightly better faces, redone flower/grass generation, a few more doodads added here and there like barrels to preexisting scenes, and new light sources added to preexisting scenes.

Oh, that's a bit of a missed opportunity, was hoping they'd add in ray tracing with dlss and fsr.

Specifically this is what 7.0 will bring.
Better models and texture on characters.
Specular mapping in textures.
Added details to the world by dropping props.
Better grass resolution and simulation.
Volumetric lighting.

 

[Myobi]

slightly better faces

What? No extra tattoo-brows options?

 

[Vyvian]

They should give everyone a free Fantasia once the graphics update comes.
I did not like how some of the faces looked with the new changes, especially Viera faces.

I hope that they replaced all their eyebrows options with one single shitty looking thing under the tattoo's options.

but I'm not confident they won't look at the atrociously low number of people playing Healer and decide they didn't dumb it down enough. There just feels like such a blatant disconnect between whoever is designing instanced content, and whoever is responsible for Healer job design.

the problem is that they have nobody really designing healers. they will literally re-assign playtesters away from healers if 'they become too good at their jobs'. the design team is small and they seem to all play dps.

 

[Vyvian]

KFC Collab huh... I guess I get it if it's Japan only considering KFC is weirdly huge there.

 

[Vyvian]

Another big patch coming and I'll not have the item level needed to do the new extreme when it's fresh.
I've been super lazy in these patches, something about the content and farming isn't grabbing me post-Endwalker like it has with every other expansion which is a shame.
I haven't even done the 12 paths of the Variant Dungeon on Normal, the bosses were just obnoxious instead of fun challenges unlike in the first one.

 

[Tyrr]

Endwalker had the worst post-expansion patch cycle in XIV history. I put all my hopes on the relic weapon to give me something to do, but we all know how that turned out in the end.
I have now given up on the game until next summer. Joining again 1-2 weeks before the next expansion should be enough to do everything important they released between the 2 expansions.

 

[Vyvian]

Island Sanctuary was a bust, I was looking forward to it as well but their fear of offering an alternative to housing gimped it from the start. It was the perfect time to offer instanced housing of some sort, even if it didn't have all the features of actual housing.
The new Deep Dungeon was forgotten in a week, listening to whiners on Reddit was a mistake in that regard.

Yes, the relics are the most disappointing. I can't believe they aren't going to put in at least one big grind step but it seems they aren't. Just farm tomes again.

 

[Val the Moofia Boss]

Yeah I haven't bothered to farm the raids or grind up my ilevel either. I might wait until the second 6.5 patch is out before getting around to it.

Biggest killer of my interest for this expansion was there being no endgame grind zone like Eureka or Bozja. Not holding my breath that 7.0 will have one either.

 

[Vyvian]

6.5 part 1 was alright. It left me feeling a bit melancholy though because they are systematically erasing all sense of mystery and wonder from the game's world and lore.
I'm not sure how they expect people to get invested in future stories and threats after Endwalker explained the biggest mysteries in the game.

 

[Tyrr]

Meh.
Let's hope the second job has more hype.

 

[Val the Moofia Boss]

Would be cool if you could use the double-saber permanently and not have to bother with dual wielding swords.

 

[Caim]

Man woke up this morning and deced on the Alex Mercer look.

 

[Joggerino]

Meh.
Let's hope the second job has more hype.

It's okay, I like it. Now it all depends on how it plays.
