haven't touched this since week 1 time, time to derust
nice
the morally right™ way to do this is whoever joins as the third ranged/caster is the fake melee without even asking
and if they have a problem with that, dont join a party that already has 2 caster/ranged
They can't decide if morally right is boss relative or TN
it just depends how next fights are
from what ive been told
m6/7 is absolute cancer for rdms
from experience
7 more than 6
6 is only kinda cancer towards the end b/c if you don't time manafication right your stacks get fucked at the start of lava
you also have to pray you don't get 3rd or 4th bait in bridges because of the above
7s was just annoying during p2 sporesplosion and p3 dd
dnc was kind of annoying in m7s because during p2 seeds you are out of range of the boss for standard finish
and it comes up during seeds
oh that's actually awful
yeah it's bad for specifically dancers there. they shouldn't be taking the tether there bc of it iirc? but that means someone else flexing
p3 dd wasn't as bad during my 2s as everyone was making it out to be
oh wow im out of melee range of the boss but there is conveniently an add right next to me
holy shit can an ot join this pf already, we're 7/8
ok we filled
so
the issue with this is that the adds die in 1 hit later
so thats a lot of dmg that isnt going into boss shruge
i get it feels fine for uptime but
yeah but if i dont hit the add i cant actually get my melee off
yea thats why ppl r saying its absolute cancer tho

healers adjust
like
you're saying its not bad cuz you can just hit the add im saying that the dmg on add is effectively wasted
since after gaze it dies to 1 dmg
yeah ideally this just wouldn't be a thing that can happen but
thank you square enix
why_I_dont_want_to_main_rdm.txt
ok um
i think im hitting buff cap or something @loud nymph
LMFAO
mfw im doing my opener and verfire just disappears
man is this rev reign prog or something oh my god bruh
hi endgamers
bruh
hi marce
hi lumi
what are u up to tonight
does the fight give that many buffs? damn
isnt the cap 32 or something
I don't think the fight itself gives any buffs
at least not at that point
not until adds
party comp things i guess?
time to ask your FC to turn off the buffs I guess :D
I think they counted towards the cap
i just noticed my verfire kept disappearing during my opener and fucking it up
aand
the viper left and party exploded
rip
i waited two hours just for that steaming pile of hot shit
great
didn't even see adds because these neanderthals can't fucking do rev reign
or braincell decay
hi guys so in order for us to clean up adds, we need to actually get there! shocker right
the savage for the cruiserweight is open, correct?
mhm
it's unlocked yes
and i have to beat the savage lightweight to get access to it?
no
no, just need to beat cruiserweight normal
did that
well there you go then
its not showing on the list, only lightweight is showing
m4 for savage weapon
m3 to augment the tome weapon
although you can just exchange the tokens from the two dawntrail alliance raids for the tome weapon augment now
depends on what exactly you're going for
yeah you're gonna have to specify, there are 3 different ilvl760 weapons
and the savage one is 765
one from arkveld extreme, one being your augmented historia weapon, and the third one being the relic weapon
going for the augmented historia sword, level 760
you don't need to do savage at all for it and if you haven't learned the savage fights you will probably not want to start learning them now
i thought that was the best pld weapon
savage weapon is best in slot
What is the best current weapon for pld?
the one from m8s
babyface champion's whatever
but it will only be best for another month
and if you haven't learned m8s yet
We're getting new gear in about a month btw, so the current savage weapon will be replaced soon
yeah good luck progging with a month left to go
oh yeah kinger ester is in the exchange now
yes
do i have to be really good at video games to get the gear in a month?
yes
well yes
you also have to be lucky
but also i severely doubt it will happen this late
to get people in your pf who aren't shitters
Savage is difficult endgame content, its not something you do in an evening, usually
and who know what they are doing
considering the current state of pf is a steaming pile of dogshit
what makes it difficult? just knowing where to stand like the other fights?
you're better off waiting until 7.4
very fast decision making
Is there a reason you want the weapon, or is it just wanting "the best weapon"
so if I play xiv on a steam deck I can use plogon and still have the controller layout right
yes
actually knowing how to play your job to a somewhat decent degree otherwise you will wipe to enrage
Hmmm
xivlauncher works just fine on the deck
yeah
I might get one then
I played the game on Steam Deck but after the free trial became region-locked last year I was unable to since
like m8s is very doable but it is not easy especially if you are brand new to high end content
i guess i have to see it to understand so might try some, fast decision doesn't mean anything with ping with online games i thought

you should geniunely expect to take several weeks or even months
to learn the fight if you are brand new to high end content
wdym? Ping won't affect the speed at which you need to process boss and other tells and execute them
Savage isn't fast reaction time
More like fast decision making time
Based on several different permutations of what the boss does
well, if your ping is super high, it'll force you to be faster than with lower ping
Then resolving where you specifically need to stand based on that
If you haven't done any high end content in this game, try an extreme first
Idk how it is in current content but my experience with savage is like
Not like in normal mode where its just dont stand in bad
so those normal raids the m1-m8, what is the difficulty on them?
yeah that's kinda what I was getting at; like, for revolutionary/eminent reign for m8s, you need to know where to pre position for each of them based on your role and based on where the boss winds up
Its casual story content, they're very easy
Each player will have a specific place that they need to stand and can't just yolo it and be where anyone else is supposed to be
yea
Anything you've done in MSQ and normal raids is basically not even worth mentioning when it comes to discussing difficulty in the game
Clock spots my beloved
Normal mode is just dodge the stuff on the floor
if you haven't done any high end content before you will have a very hard time going directly into m8s
and should probably start with something more approachable
and regarding the "fast reaction time", I guess quantum has a mechanic where you gotta react fast, but thats not the norm
Oh right i have a question regarding reaction time
yeah, savage does not require fast reaction time so much as it requires knowledge of each mechanic and fast decision making
How tf are you meant to dodge the aoes where it shows up on the floor for literally half a second
Are there tells
you missed a tell
do i need to find a free company now to do savages with? or can i just join when its released, or do i join a FC then?
what fight is this anyway
always
is it ifrit transition
FCs are mostly social
Using the Party Finder is fine
you don't need an FC for savage
mt gulg and other dungeon bosses
yeah you missed a tell
Just not really right now when the raid has been out for like 9 month
theres a tell
yeah then you missed a tell five minutes ago :D
I figured
dungeon stuff gives you tiiiime
cube boss its the faces on its side
Yea I didn’t know when i did it the first time so i ate 3 vuln stacks
I don't even remember what the final boss looks like
So when the next end game content comes out, i can just join using the duty and watch a youtube video to get a nice sword?
can only remember the Rubik's cube
but as a general rule if you saw an aoe flash on the ground and disappear faster than you can react to, you missed a tell either from the arena or from the boss itself
Its the 4th lightwarden :3
You cant
Icic
Watch is another thing
Practice is another beast
idk how many times I need to explain to you
Using Party Finder, and spending several days or weeks to learn and progress the fight
Yes
I be like
if you have never done savage before
It's vastly harder than that, but theoretically yes
I need to be more attentive ingame
if you have never done high end you should expect that the learning process for one of these fights will take weeks
Like i can handle most mechanics when i know how they work but
or longer
Arena tells are my weakness
ok, but there is no FC that does end game, i have to join strangers?
pre-formed raid groups in this game are called statics
you can look for a static if you don't want to do raids with PF strangers
how do i look for a static?
by looking on the recruitment discords or in #1039986530783072336
Your best bet is to PF extreme trials and then use those clears to look for a static
but again
it is important to emphasize that this is challenging content
and you will have a very difficult time if you just jump immediately into the deep end
I feel like you're vastly underestimating the difficulty of savage content from your experience with casual content
you can ask Moomoo here how big of a jump high end content is
where should i start my practice?
Also yeah i have 500 hours and i barely maintain a 70% gcd uptime (im learning and practicing)
start there
where do i find an extreme trial synced?
Unlock them from the minstrel in tuliyollal first
you can either wait until then
or look for learning parties for the existing ones now
pf means again?
ok
For point of reference, it took my group 6 days of progression to beat a level 50 extreme synced
Usually the most recent extreme is a good starting point for high end
you will need to look for learning parties because the farm parties will all be locked to duty complete, meaning if you haven't actually cleared the fight, you won't be able to join those parties
But before that, check the balance for your jobs opener and rotation
Understand how your rotation works
Get some potions
Get some current raid food
Learn some raiding basics like clockspots
Then watch a guide for the extreme you wanna do
And then jump into a PF for it that's starting fresh

Do not just join a random mount farm PF, or one that's at a later point in a fight than you are
I like rinon they make good content
I guess the first isn't a concern since it'd be duty complete, I'm dumb
So whats the situation with this person did they buy a story/level skip
this is the 2nd or 3rd time I've seen them asking about wanting really cool swords so maybe they just really like swords
Soview what job do you play
just an old grandpa that likes the final fantasy games 🙂
this is my first time with ff 14, started in may
pld
The A Realm Reborn relic is really cool
The gold saucer has some interesting stuff and the pvp area has great stuff for paladin
Oh mb
i got the first sword lol, now was looking to get the other one
so Kinger you already did help me a lot
thank you
I'd probably recommend just grinding the Occult Crescent relic
It'll be BiS at the end of the expansion
if you wanna get into high end content definitely start by just practicing your rotation etc in normal content, do it till your eyes bleed, till you don't have to stare at your bars and don't have to think about what to do next
read the balance guides for your job
practice more
start doing extremes
they're a good way to bridge the gap between normal and savage raids
i don't even know what rotation means, i have been second tank in the fights
oh, yah. a few people in the game has helped me with that
This one is pretty cheap on the marketboard, 100k on famfrit
for PLD it is pretty straightforward, the main issue comes with avoiding drifting your ogcds and making sure you get all your heavy hits in under FoF
I would level pld up but erm
my sword right now is the level 750 one, the Historia sword
you can upgrade that to 760 with the evercharged esther you can buy with hunt currency
can also work on the dawntrail relic which is also 760 (for now)
i thought i had to do savage to get the evercharged esther
lol, lmao even
Might take a bit
not anymore, it's available for hunt currency as of 7.38
which is the patch we got last week
blacklisting me when im not doing anything wrong is crazy
Hi marce

oof
but you formed the party so clearly that is all your fault and no one else's
poor marce taking on the sins of all dps
ok, i will look into getting hunt currency, that might be easier
Clearly you should have checked people’s logs and kicked anyone who didn’t have purple parse on latest savage tier
like I would kinda get it if it's the wind/stonefang that happens after beckon b/c that one is always a little 
but
that first one
Oh yea i did Aitascope today and I’m improving my tank gameplay
lmao, even
at least its not that whm that just straight up died to stonefang repeatedly
:)
fun fact you can fit 2 people on the same side of the marker on stonefang
dont ask me how
it's tight but you can
I managed to look at a cast name and be like “oh i go right”
yeah the cleaves aren't like
thaaaat crazyt
its just tight
Cause it was like “left side firaga”
but the windfang cleaves are fucking tiny holy moly
windfang is much scarier ye
The Become Legend
i've actually had the cleave miss me after eminent reign because the healer was an inch to my left
Yeah like
definitely, there's also no reason to get the best of the best gear unless you want to do high end content, so you can also just chill and grab the easy to get gear until a new set comes out.
Gear in this game is a ever revolving treadmill anyway, so stuff gets replaced regularly
Windfang at the beginning of the fight is much more forgiving
If he casted Stonefang you better pray for later
My butthole is always a little clenched in that second wing/stonefang
Djura how come you’re not blue
Because if someone eats shit then you're eating shit on the tracking tremors
and then it's back to square one
Oh also what are the chances i can ignore the body check on the stormblood extremes at level 91 on warrior
ok nvm i dont think the vpr blacklisted me
it just wasnt letting me join before
odd
What if they blacklisted you but then they checked logs and unblacklisted you
idk maybe
Its so crazy to me being almost max level
Like i went from barely surviving against a turtle to being able to one tap stuff that gave me trouble before
the stormblood extremes were sorta soloable at 90 but would be a lot easier at 100
other than susano ofc
you ain't soloing that
like for example I think tsukuyomi ex was "soloable" at 90 but you had to get really lucky with meteors
but it's much more doable at 100
Okok
raiding again is making me remember why i retired
i’m WASHED
what do you mean i can’t remember mechanics after being away from them for 4 months
mood
i think i’m going to try to reprog dsr in my spare time
i still can’t get over how weird it feels not having a big fight to chase
even though its been that way since i cleared fru
7.5 please please please have ult
yeah idk I've just been like
existing in the game with no real motivation to do anything
bc there's nothing I can really set as a goal that would realistically challenge me rn, it's all just plain old grind
The bottom
Started grinding mats to make and sell some crested sets
make back some money after spending double what I should have on materia fixing my half-assed melds
it may be worthwhile to stockpile a lil since new content coming end of Dec iirc
if you dont have 999 of every single dt and ew mat what are you even doing /s
me except it's only because i'm too shit at the game to ult
Its more of the time commitment 
you just have too much self respect to subject yourself to ulti pf theres a DIFFERENCE
my worst exp so far has been 6 hrs wait for 3 pulls tyfp lmao
sobbin
you’ve never reached the top
you MUST get 100 on every fight
brain damage
Thats not top..thats just wasting life
yeah starting to stock up on stuff, supposedly the new set should use rakaznar and thunderyards silk so I got a bit of that too
almost finished penta melding my crafters minus tools
just need two more command materia
mhmm getting revisit on legendary node
wolfgirl race will save the game
honestly... same
I was thinking about doing a set with holo in the first zone of alexandria or something a while back then never got around to it because I got sidetracked by the dsr group I'm running
You become a wiki editor main instead
Warring against gamerescape is hard work
@rapid whale @loud nymph i saw beckon
hell ya
adds was pretty smooth after we did a little communication
very nice
Will you doooooo the mech
I have salt from every wipe I see
There is no other parties to join save me
Save me Bapple save me
how do i do the alliance raid again

man thank god the sub-raid level gear is weekly locked in the alliance raid
i was so worried that people have acces to shitty gear
now i know they're randomly rate limited
they should make it so you can only log in weekly too
they gonna dalamud again
Gonna see it before believing it
i thought DT was supposed to be the reset
add FFX-2 combat with dress spheres
What cutting edge tech is what I am wondering
AI 🙂
Maybe its the buff cap removal..
Ai for tuning content with quantum style scaling
I wouldnt mind tech like that

Just need a plogon to add 7 ai players
oh thesell be nice once the glam restrictions are lifted
these are the striking bottoms from the final san doria boss
Maybe I should make an effort to collect the other Sandy Oreo gear
But I finally decided to go to Anemos for the upcoming Glamageddon
no way a "fairly big announcement" at fanfest 
probably the least exciting combination of words possible
Level cap increased to 110
no its gonna be some dumb side system where you dont actually level up in the normal sense
So lv 110 in all but name
like phantom levels
that one comment from a few months back where he said "big changes are coming but people scared of change can rest assured nothing will change 😃 " makes me cope/doom that its gonna be some weirdo hybrid of phantom actions for all jobs where you get new skills but they can only be used in high end content or something
more build variety through traits/modifiers (but people will just gravitate to whatever is considered bis anyways)
FF16 has been so fun so far
I genuinely like the combat. I personally think some of the combat moves are basically useless, but I enjoy a lot of the fight mechanics
And holy fuck some of the fights + music gave me genuine chills
sir a second moon has hit eorzea
Same, I think they wanted to make up for that with the whole || Can take the essence of primals and use their power system || But if they intergrated the ff7 remake system with the switching, it wouldve been so fun
official mpreg support
with a special guest appearance by Hideo Kojima
finally, ff14 is a hideo game
"final fantasy xiv is shutting down you are all free now to play better games"
"wuk lamat is now a permanent member of the cast and when she isn't on screen all the other characters will be asking 'where's wuk lamat?'"
Yknow I believe this
I’m confident the 7.4 glamour change was gonna be a 8.0 addition
He says 'the game will suggest to you what to do based on the time you tell it you have to play'... thats AI...
And I want nothing to do with it lol
Hes also talking about exchanging tombstones for glam gear... bitch 450 isn't enough for GEAR gear.
Who says it has to be capped tomes
Wow is doing that combat rotation
Which 3rd party mods already do anyway
If it meant average df andy isnt glue sniffing stroke sufferer then I am all for it
He was talking about capped tomes specifically.
how is reccomending content based on time played AI 
is it ai when the achievement menu shows you achievements nearing completion
or using the reccomended gear button
when's the fanfest again
april
damn
He said it will ask you how long you have to play today, and recommend content based on it. Sounds like AI to me. Unless there's generic answers for every possible answer. Which would be a LOT of code.
No the achievements nearing completion isn't AI. Its a tag.
you can literally make a numbered list, 1 hour? do dungeon. 2 hours? do alliance raid. 3 hours? do savage reclears.
the devs can just assign an expected completion time to content
things can be made without ai lmao
(This game already uses AI anyway)
Unless you think a human manually did all 1500 edits to the 7.3 cutscene
Or manually upgraded the grass and foliage in every zone
what 1500 edits
like sure its possible they use ai, but its also possible to do those things with well set up systems 
Game use ai
The animation lady said there was 1500 variations for the action cutscene this patch
Games have been using those since ages
And it’s was automated because ofc it was
Still had to manually edit a few things tho
you open world editor, paint rough strokes where vegetation should be, have the engine put grass there, its a feature of the engine
automation doesnt default to "AI"
Yea pretty much
i think they showed something about having a new system for scaling the face animation bones between races or something, during DT fanfests
Yes
Yeah that probably is what allowed Viera and hroth to wear hates
calling every automated system ai is cringe
More bones or something
Automation =/= ai
hwat
AI as a tool to aid others is potentially useful, AI as a means of replacing humans at jobs is not
does fisher provide any special materials needed for raiding gear or just for alchemy/culinarian?
Currently it does, but the gear will not exist until 7.4
The main thing is levinchrome aethersands
Actually levinchromes will be used for literally everything
So stock up
You can get it with min and btn
if its just aethersand then I can stock up on those easy with btn/mnr
Yeah you can get them with MIN/BTN but I personally prefer FSH as they are not on a timer
sure it's nice to have another method but leveling fisher is gonna take a bit
I just hate fishing
I like fishing
i dont dislike fishing at all i just dont like leveling the job because it can't be braindead power leveled in the diadem like min/btn could
I dislike not having enough space on my hot bar for fisher
Have one bar for normal fishing and another bar for spearfishing
honestly smart
i have just barely enough to fit everything i use on one bar except for like cast light bc who the fuck is using cast light
what about ocean fishing?
isn't that good for FSH?
yeah it's good you'll get a bunch of levels each time
but obviously you can only do it every 2 hours
its good but as kinger said it's only up every two hours and often I miss the time slot because I get distracted by other things
actually yeah
Fishing in general...
gives INSANE EXP
I actually had it as the first job I maxed out in general
even before a DoW/DoM job
however that was with Road to Lvl buff
so take that as you will
You can also level fishing passively through ocean fishing
Just do other stuff and then every 2 hours get on the boat
get on the fucking boat shinji
a realm reborn reborn
I saw someone question if that was an accurate translation or not, but I'm kinda trying not to assume anything about what's gonna happen next
it's shocking how many times people try to assume what he says
only to be disappointed when the actual announcement happens
i will make up an unrealistic expectation in my head and then become viscerally angry when said expectation is not met
Just give me a bunch of qol
Goat
Rival wings roulette incoming bros
do you think they even remember it exists
it's in mogtome sometimes, so apparently
Let me queue multiple roulettes
tbh that one I kinda understand not doing, probably a massive pain to match that
before that how about they let us queue as role instead of job 
how about they restrict any duties after Haukke to jobs
how about they just make the game good
yes pls
and stop allowing dipshits to queue as classes
had a THM in longstop the other day because they got skill issued by the solo duty
like fuck it just give me
an entire patch of no content
where they slap qol on everything that needs it
and I'll just not play the game
thanks
I would honestly be ok with this, odd patches usually have such minimal content anyway
the clickbait YouTubers would love that
they'll milk "game dead" for an entire year
this game does the weirdest things
why does my pf window automatically close when someone joins
clickbait YouTubers get ammo for their clickbait
We get actual QoL
Everybody wins
QOL patch 
Small thing that's been annoying me lately is swapping gearsets outside of sanctuaries messes it up and reverts your portrait to default
small thing that's been annoying me forever is swapping gearsets in general
why can't I swap jobs with my weapon drawn 
tbh the entire portrait system is garbage
the portrait system looks amazing compared to the friends list
and then they add this dumb fucking popup that you can't turn off because then it doesn't update your portrait at all, instead of doing the sensible thing and updating your portrait without confirmation
like trust me I would love to play this game with 0 plugins instead of 54
if the game was functional without those 54 plugins
wait really
....i can?
have you ever tried crafting kinger
if i unsheathe them with Z and then click a gearset it switches my job
hit a dummy, queue pops, you have to exit combat stow your weapon and then swap
and this scenario happens: you're making a material for a piece on 1 crafter
oh believe me I know all about being unable to swap jobs after crafting
you finish the craft, try to switch to the other crafter job
Oh that's why I can't swap gearsets right after combat, I haven't sheathed yet
I thought it was some shitty cooldown
it's one reason why I have simple tweaks
That's so fucking annoying
I never ran into this with combat jobs though hence my surprise
💀 theyve been doing it the entire dungeon
white mages
what level is this
not all white mages but always a white mage
qarn
ah rip
so nice getting 300 hp back when i have 2000
was gonna say 1266 hp is still early mid arr
hearing the cure sound effect in pilgrim's traverse 
...it's feo ul 
misgendering our king.....
it's just benediction every 3s :D it's great

they got cooldown hax

I love how if you try to use an incense while another one is already in use, the system message tells you not to be greedy, it's like Feo Ul themself is sassing you
because they ARE
get new item
equip it
portrait broken now lemme go fix
forget to save loadout
mfw portrait wont fix
equip it
save gearset
get the portrait popup
close that
re-equip gearset to apply the glam plate
get the fucking popup again

Melding my crafter gear so I have to manually change to each crafter and update my gearsets
update the gearset
update the portrait
enter duty
portrait still fuckin broken
Or I swapped gearsets outside sanctuaries so I have to remember to swap back to update it when I am in one
yeah I recently had the passport pic and I don't even know why
Reminder that the portrait pop-up warning didn't even exist until, like, 7.1
Oh right i ticked the box to auto decline every invite to novice network
Am i screwed when i become a mentor
Bruh I recently had an issue where my sage gearsets broke when I swapped from ast to sge
But whm to sge was fine
They all share the exact same gear
no because then it's not invite based
Okok
you know you fucked up a system when there's a plugin dedicated solely to making it kind of not really work
Hi chiyo
I use portrait fixer and it still does jack shit
it works like 75% of the time for me
the rest of the time I still have to switch glamour plates, resave the gearset, then try to reset the portrait
and don't get me started on the friends list
I just invite people through the cwls menu now because 1) it loads faster 2) it doesn't unexplainably show people who are online as offline and vice versa, I swear the friends list is just making shit up
it's so funny how cwls are super fast
and the friend list takes three years for like...anything
Lol ratfinx solo is not going well
Please add HQ quick synthesis for anything you can trained eye
Bulk crafting hq is so ass
or quick synth by pointing it at a macro
literally anything that doesn't force to me manually craft hundreds of potions
It taking 6 million years to reply to people
Cus either you right click to tell or just type it out
i had someone show up as online in eureka for DAYS
Fucking sucks when I have a regular convo via tells and I am just like bro just add me to party chat
This is fucking cringe
she hadn't been online since logging out there
the social systems definitely are one of the worst for an MMO
Definitely need to add the /nextmacro too
that's probably not happening or people will macro their rotations lol
yeah I'm ok with us never getting the ability to call a macro from within a macro
people already try to macro their rotations
this would make it even worse
Wasn't there a guy a few months ago who wanted to macro NIN mudras
yes
I need all resurrection skills to be unusable in macros
the instant I see any form of raise macro I want to strangle the user
Like text macro or
Macro the actual inputs
Instead of just pressing Ten Chi for Raiton
Of all buttons in the game, I feel like mudras might be the least macroable tbh
there might actually be a plugin out there for that which is embarrassing
Keep them usable but give the user a special doom debuff that they can't dispell
You might be able to make it work with like…
that way everyone knows what they did
<wait.x>
Nah
the reasoning was something along the lines of "it's too much for me to remember so I want a macro that will automatically change to the next mudra in the ninjutsu"
Thats insane
brother
Not even xivcombo lets you be that lazy
mudras are on a 0.5s gcd I don't have to explain why integer-only wait values don't work
Fair enuf
And you only ever use shuriken in Ten Chi Jin, so it's more like 5
yeap
i wonder though
could you macro the prepull suiton if you feel a little lazy or is that still a no-go
I... Guess you could, but literally why
I mean there's no particular reason not
Technically I think reaction or was it the uh Pandora’s box from same creator lets you use decimals in macros but yaknow, you’re solidly in “this is just cheating” territory if you do that.
And won’t be able to play the game when plugins are down
some people just genuinely don't want to be challenged at all or experience even a little bit of friction when trying something new
and unfortunately we share a duty finder with them
this is the reason why puzzle games these days have an auto-solve feature
because people don't want to be challenged anymore 💔
7.3 MSQ 💔
the 2nd boss?
I mean, that too, but the puzzle section there
Don’t you only have to memorize like
4 of the mudras
Suiton, doton, katon, raiton
i woulnt exactly call it a puzzle
You really don’t even need doton
Not in the dungeon, but the actual part of the MSQ where you're exploring the old lab
you need to know hyotpn when under kassatu
They're basic puzzles, but they are puzzles nonetheless, and I swear I saw people say they needed to look up the answers
you need hyoton too because at 76+ with kassatsu it becomes your strongest attack
yh its still not much of a puzzle , its a wee bit of reading , get a free hint so now you have 3 options
and if you're gonna do dungeons then you'd need huton and probably doton too
skippers and ppl who didnt read need the answers
Someone in NN was stuck on it for 2 hours on release day
incredible
how
FFXIV players 
they just don’t think
you literally get a page that shows you the bottom right answer , you can speak to the npcs for hints
Yeah well bro couldn’t do it
He was still asking to resolve it by the time I finished up the story
So around 2 hours or so
Fuck if I know
the hardest riddle/puzzle 14 is the in arr the greatest story never told
I can’t relate to people who are illiterate
sorry
Yeah a lot of people don’t like thinking in this game
They wouldn’t last outside of their circles
they sadly invade others circles demanding other ppl change things for them
Tbf it’s the consequences long term of having a msq that requires zero actual comprehension of its text, is that yaknow, you attract people who like that
Like it’s not like se had a history of msq making you need to be literate
I’m bad at mechanics that need me to make quick decisions so thats why im playing more dps and healer so i can get better at it
All the mentors were flaming this guy (who was also a mentor) and they just refused to help
Main tank is very easy comparatively speaking i feel
Someone finally posted the solution in the chat but still
I just stand still and eat damage
last "puzzle" ff14 did (not including variant dungeons which is legit good for ppl who love puzzle solving reading the lore) is shb in la hee land answering what the animal is and some card games to rescue bunny girls+ ysh
SURELY you can resolve a puzzle in 2 fucking hours
It’s not even a real puzzle just use your fucking eyes
You’d be shocked
Consciousness is required to participate in this duty.
Champions beyond the rift, heed my call! (Hector’s Extreme guides)
And the amount of people who ask for video starting guides
Who would have thought that FFXIV players' greatest nemesis was reading
Except, y'know, everyone
Everyone would have thought that
Great Gubal Library (Ultimate)
But yeah, ffxiv is just a game that gives thousands of hours of content without requiring much effort, don’t be surprised it attracted people incapable of that effort
Every time I see a boondocks clip my brain instantly goes to the JP dub, and I blame you for this
You'd think the mmo based off a jrpg would have a fanbase that would read
I generally do better with condensed summaries at first
MMO players in general tbh, just FFXIV players have less of an excuse when the msq makes them read so much already
Then I can move on to more in-depth stuff
I think less than 10% of ffxiv players have played every ff
Maybe like 50% have even played one
God I hate how analysis of any media is rapidly becoming a lost art
I do agree that it is common in other MMOs, but I think it is more pronounced in FF because there is genuinely no challenge until you get to extremes
And that includes the newer ones that also don’t require much effort in puzzle solving and reading comprehension to beat like ff13
ok i'm actually curious
That is true but the puzzles in this game aren't even hard
They give you the answer half the time
the only other FF I've ever played is 16 so if I were to play only one other
which should it be
So because there's no failure states in normal content, people never have to sit down and try to improve
6 9 or X
How do you feel about turn based and adjacent systems?
no particular issue with it if it's not dogshit
like persona put me to sleep but that's not because it's turn based it's because tartarus is comabait
Turn based is good but my issue with turn based combat is that difficulty tends to just mean “bigger number”
X has the advantage of voice acting which none of the games before it have
I think even fans of Persons (and 3 in particular) tend to agree that Tartarus is weak
I have a friend who says I’m playing turn based games wrong if I play them on normal difficulty
Like the only FF that I think is genuine unplayable dogshit is ff2, the rest are enjoyable enough
When thats the difficulty the devs intended
Tartus is rough
how does he feel about people playing Pokemon
I mean if you're enjoying it I don't see an issue with it
some people consider this heresy but FF rebirth is one of my favorite games
the DS remake of FF4 from a while back was also good
He loves pokemon
Ff15 and 7 remake have a more modern feel
lmao
rebirthslop
the game that siphons money from xiv
but can’t make money
More like ATBslop
So would you say Expedition 33 is Frenchslop
i think this entire server should be banned from using the word slop
play a real jrpg
i love it 
no wait that's just kissing with tongue
I forgot rebirth existed ngl
fuck
you first
slopslop
Riki want slop slop
what if i killed all of you.
Killslop
All I’m saying is that if the devs wanted me to play on the hard difficulty they wouldn’t have put a little bit of text next to normal difficulty that says “this is the intended way to play”
I play most of my games on normal difficulty unless it becomes too obviously easy to the point that it's boring
FF7 and FFX are also some of my favorites but i still loved rebirth
I play most games on normal but stealth games I play on hard
I’m about to be crucified for my opinion
Bitch
ff8 is just drawslop
My favorite FF games are 12 and 13
i mean i liked 8 and 9 too i just like 7 and 10 more
Junctionslop
I have never played a normal FF game to completion
also X-2’s story sucked but the battle system was good
menuslop
have fun spending 90% of the game in the junction and gf menus
Gambits were the best battle system they ever made
play ff12
Super engaging gameplay like smash square during the 8 mins CGI animation of Eden
you need some adderall if you spend most of your time in menus
no joke
just keep save scumming until selphie pulls The End
just rail that shit
and saving/loading before games of triple triad in case rulesets you don't like begin spreading
I started playing 9 and then never made any story progress
jump rope has consumed me
9 is very good but tetra master is impenetrable
You need to play BG3 on easy mode
i liked how FF9 was inspired by dawntrail
Gale and Astarion started kissing in front of me for like 20 minutes in Act 3
DEI game
shadowheart is always stuck in the bisexual void whenever I play
that shit is too hard.
they are. hello
How are you
im a zoomer who grew up on shooters
Are you one of the rich furries
you can do this in bg3
click fireball
point at enemies
click cast
self-proclaimed "mentor" when any video game:
enemies go away
He took like
doesnt bg difficulty scale inversely to brain strength
i’m just picturing chiyo breaking his legs every time he jumps somewhere in BG3
30 minutes to get off the nautiloid
how
Ff12 with mods is exceptional @dreamy whale
Used to speedrun the game pre ZA release
I THOUGHT SHE SAID TO FIND THE THING NEXT TO HER
Because he tried to fight Zhalk and failed spectacularly
Planetary age is a great replay reason if you haven’t in a while
thats fair tbh
Why would I ever mod that masterpiece
Also yeah he could not figure out how to free Shadowheart until I told him
I would've won but the backup came and I noped out

but you can beat zhalk if your smart
Masterpiece is definitely a word to use for that
Yeah I can see trying that even though the game repeatedly screams "ignore him"
Might not be the right one but it is a word
it's like the first boss of sekiro yknow
you gotta try
12 is single player 11
its free exp and getting the sword is neat so you dont need to micro mange dipping sword
command drop
yeah i didn't know shit
He just started beating the shit out of Zhalk with no plans
I just went nah id win

but did you
no
No
Where do i unlock alexander savage is it in mor dhona
another strat you can do is getting the tanks place them around the command + mindflayer igni boom
Just like recoded is the best kingdom hearts game
Nvm answered my own question
And Zhalk one tapped Shart
you're speaking a foreign language to me
Nah best kh game is birth by sleep
So this guy dipped
Not chain of memories,so, real
all I know is mainhand weapon attack and fireball
give chiyo a raid plan for this boss
CoM is just balatro but disney
yh i dont think your friend is a thinker , like you could bless mindflayer and hope the stun works
“Hey yknow you can use other spells than fireball”
“Where are they”
Literally on the right side of the fucking hotbar
12 is a game I played and I couldn't tell you a single thing about the story, and that has never happened with any other FF game
Chiyo Shiomi my favorite streamer
Whattt
Ff16 is a top 5 ff game
i still hate the default for any elf character is fireball and that it scales off int
All the political crap went through one ear and left through the other
Maybe it’s because i grew up on 12
and trickey is a shit domain
I always respec her
😭
maybe i should play ff12 more
My first video games were FF12, KH2, and Burnout 3 on the PS2
don't ask wulfie about the time I played sekiro
unfortunately im busy discord and driving
@kind elm hey what happened when chiyo played sekiro
ETS or ATS
You should become a twitch streamer and get bullied by your chat
ETS right now
I used to play the fuck out of ATS
Thats how I found out I get highway hypnosis
there is nothing in my head
i can be trusted with truck simulators
At this point probably
I was pretty good at r6 siege
I lost my zoomer reactions
The yellow paint everywhere
so now I only play easy games for babies
Chiyo
Alas
