>>738758374 because the point is to have the cool shiny sword with the glowy parts, not to grind your balls across broken glass for a 0.5% dps increase
ANOTHER QUESTION What is the DING DING DING that I keep hearing, it's an emote or some shit. I think it sounds like the uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Arcadion win bell.
>>738760361 I was sad that people were full on Lighting hair etc. and no one was trying to look like Mithra. I think you'd look better with a little like side eye 30 degrees looking at the camera. And change the lighting angle.
>>738760686 Personally I liked the other one better, the angle change looks off. They did say side eye so you'd wanna rotate some. But I want the full emote view for that pantyshot. Also maybe some smugness, but that's pretty common on lala plates I guess
>>738761231 >Left one's just cosplaying the dwarf whatsherface It's a glamourer copypaste, not really a cosplay. And as we've just proven, Giott's a guy.
I'm praying evercold will be good enough to make me come back. I keep thinking about my char and time spent in the game but i cba resubbing to a game I suck at when its in such a bad state
>>738762913 Only thing between now and then is Kefka and the final exploration planet. I initially though it might be a Void raid but Golbez specifically said there's no more voidsent left to cause any issues. And I doubt it would be a crossover raid, like say if FF7 R3 got revealed at Summer Games Fes in a few weeks. So I think they're hiding something with the expansion, and the extended trailer is going to reveal it, which will also be related to the raid.
>>738764880 >nin you fall asleep for 60 seconds, wake up and slam everything you can into trick attack in 15 seconds, fall back asleep, then at the 2 minute mark you wake up again and slam everything into an even more packed trick attack
Someone completely ignored one of the second set towers on the final boss of the third walk and every DPS/Healer died as a result I am now greedy since I died >>738764493 Sometimes I forget that there's a learned ruleset and state of mind you need to play melee optimally The Phys Ranged in our static says she'd never melee, I don't understand why because she's a consistent and skilled player, but I guess it does require a certain way of playing...
I think i'm growing tired playing as a fem WoL. I still have a free fanta the game gave me, so I'm strongly considering it. But I'm also kind of torn on what male race to play. Hroth, potato and catmen are right out. I'm thinking going either Mhigger, Malera, or knife ear. If male viera didn't look so effeminate, that'd also be considered.
>>738762858 >banger >lorefilled >Pandaemonium The most bullshit nothingburger raid tier, it was so bad they had to slap in the meme of sabik for the last tier because they had nothing going on >>738762913 They always delay the reveal of the raid tier to EU fan fest. The art also gives you little to nothing to speculate on, like remember people thinking there would be an Ascian in Arcadion because the neon light kinda looked like a sigil? Lmao.
>>738758374 Because it's a vanity item and eventually it does become the strongest weapon in the game until the next expansion, so that sort of grind is reserved for Ultimate maxxers that want to squeeze every last bit of performance from their gear for the clears. Any other retard questions?
>>738766703 >dirt, but decides if you even like mining ARR >dirt mixed with feces and a few diamonds HW >homogeneous mass of dirt flecked with gold and diamonds SB >diamond-rich dirt ShB >LITERAL UNENDING LIQUID FECES EW >UNENDING FECES slows to a trickle a patch or two in and is changed to muddy dirt with some diamonds DT >looks to be solid diamond EC

>>738769902 NTA, I think ARR might has more quests if you include the post patches, and ARR might have more dungeons? But generally the other expansions have more actual content. I think ARR is like 60 hours to complete the MSQ of if you just do MSQ, and all expansions are 40 hours or so if you just do MSQ, but they have more things like Eureka and Bozja and whatever.
>>738769820 ARR has extra quests for (Hard) trials and an extra large amount of MSQ in the 2.X series but later expansions have zones with their own leveling systems and dungeons.
>>738769996 well rip me, I’m 140 already and i have been doing every content that i can on ARR, even extremes & bahamut on solo, shit just doesn’t stop throwing you new things all time, I fear how heavensword is going to be lol
>>738770456 I like playing the game. I don't like doing Roulettes. They don't even let you queue Mentor Roulette for progress, which is the only Roulette that is fun to do sometimes.
Imagine if Mentor Roulette could have given you some progress for all of the bubbles. That might not have sucked.
ok i love hullbreaker isle as a dungeon concept, which to be a King Kong reference, but that kraken boss really kill the whole dungeon vibe, good concept but horrible execution.
>>738770874 >currency you get after completing targeted content
the only difference is tomes can be stockpiled beforehand. for some reason doing 10 expert roulettes worth of tomes is somehow worse than doing 10 expert roulettes and getting a dungeon atma
>>738770995 You're so fucking stupid that I'm not even going to argue with you why 1500 Tomestones is different than farming atma or light, because even you know that you're wrong.
Okay, why are they doing the >camera zooms in on fist clenching with leather crunching sounds, even if they're not wearing leather gloves, or any gloves for that matter shit so often? I know it is a cliche, and they have probably done it before, but it happens so many fucking times in Dawntrail. I swear to god that someone does it every other quest
I feel like it says a lot about my experience with Dawntrail when one of the high points of the MSQ was getting to see Alphinaud use an actual Sage ability in a cutscene.
I cannot overstate how much I hate the generic healing hand beams.
The constant *clenches fist* and camera cutaways to the WoL doing a single reaction emote to whatever is going on made parts of Dawntrail feel like a comedy bit.
>>738762858 It will be Sin. EU Fanfest is only a few days after FFX's 25th anniversary. That game has very little representation in XIV despite it being the 3rd? most popular in the series in Japan.
I know people like to imagine themselves being transported to video game worlds and getting cool powers and shit but I think living in the ff14 world would be a living hell with how much shit can kill you even just outside the starting cities. Not to mention that the world is constantly under threat and you need to hope some random dude (the wol) saves everyone.
>>738772847 i think the angle they're taking as villains is just demoralizing you since they can't kill you, maybe ego death will convince you heroism is le bad and you should let them kill everyone with a large number of rejoinings one after the other >>738773150 adventuring's a tough life but it makes it socially acceptable for you to be a neurotic freak so it can't be all that bad
>>738773209 If they're going to go all in on the ethos, pathos, logos thing then wol will need to hurt peoples' feelings in the process of doing what's right. It could just be setting that up.
>>738772470 >>738772847 Yeah remember when we were the warriors of DARKNESS and Shadowbringers was being marketed as us making HARD and EDGY anti-hero decisions and then none of that was true? Same shit. Halmarut is just saying that we are strong enough to do whatever the fuck we want but if we kill all the Winterers then we're still doomed regardless.
Of course, being the hero means we will find the magic third option that saves everyone so the dialogue about treading close to Zenos falls flat if you have any media literacy.
I'm fucking schizoing out >EC trailer >narrator talking about the land pre-ice >pans over to big crystal >narrator talks about the land being engulfed in ice so they fled to the sky >crystal should be in a frozen area since it was shown to be on the planet surface >pic rel >no ice what the fuck
>>738775837 >>738775846 the big crystal wasn't on an island. they specifically show it as the narrator is talking about the surface. they would have had to either move it or turn the surrounding area into a floating island
>>738775925 >or turn the surrounding area into a floating island gee, it's too bad this setting doesn't have magic or wizards or absurdly powerful godlike entities or anything silly like that sarcasm aside, the full trailer is probably going to show everything getting frozen over by the big bad
>>738775779 Top-left of this image is also making me think the planet itself isn't in ice anymore. We're being bamboozled, something else happened and the land below is no longer frozen. Hence the weird time jumping in the trailer, and not one ice themed zone or concept art was shown.
>>738776187 Gonna be funny if this is another Living Memory thing. Where most of the population is in a simulated world inside the giant ice crystal we saw in the trailer. And the reason the girl disappears while praying to it.
>>738776440 I think that's pretty reasonable. Everyone is cryo frozen and the non-wintery zones are their collective dream. But it will have the same issues as Living Memory unless we significantly unfuck things by the end of the base expac. I don't think anyone wants years of turned off Living Memory, especially if its every zone and not just 1 you can largely ignore.
If you think about it, Kefka is basically gonna be the final challenge of the current game. Jobs and battle design are gonna be completely different in Evercold, it's going to be a different game. Once you see that DUTY COMPLETE it's going to be like saying goodbye.
>>738777770 Slightly above FRU. I don't know what the FRU clears look like but I know I saw a lot of people with the weapons in Heavyweight. So I imagine they'll stick with something that gets a lot of people doing it rather than ball busting shit like TOP.
>>738777905 Kinda sad that it's releasing before the Relic. Unless MSQ Part 2 comes with a 2nd Extreme (doubtful), the Relic is going to be completely useless.
Personally I think it would be cool if Part 2 included a solo instance where you play as an Evolved Reaper.
>>738777905 are job and battle design really gonna change that much? i feel like people are hoping and coping way too much about how much 20-odd jobs are really gonna change - just from rolling combos into a macro and a few contextual buttons. and i haven't heard anything about encounters themselves, it's gonna be the same DDR markers we've seen for a decade right?
>>738778920 More than likely, yet again people are blinded by hype I'm looking forward to some of it regardless Wasn't there a screencap of that Yoshi P interview article where he said things are changing, but not really that much?
I'm up early for fish, and I realized something. Coerthas Central/Western Highlands, the snowy areas, never got a graphics update. I mentioned this before, and wondered why. I have a feeling since Evercold is gonna have some ice/snow focus, they're probably gonna have some snow physics added.
>>738780752 They won't even update expansion gear anymore man, they aren't doing shit Every patch updates the textures and dye channels on modernslop and relic weapons
>>738780752 Yeah, I remember seeing a lot of snowy vistas in their Evercold reveal keynote to the point they had to repeat it. For sure they will update them.
