Will Hydalen still be us or will she be gone after 6.0
@twilit shale I scoured the image for clues and did not see that at all 😓
:)
zodiark in the art
'heeeeep'
hydaelyn will you let me out? the world's on fire
hydaelyn is mother dragon
we're gonna use a porxie the size of the moon to destroy hydaelyn's tempering
and then squad up with zoddy
Curious if Anima is the final transformation of Zodiark xD
i like to think the echo prevents tempering because you are already tempered
but iirc it's some ascian thing ,right?
Real curious how Anima plays in this
we are going to absorb zodiarc into ourselves, then defeat and absorb hydaelyn, and WE will become the one true god.
i forgot the explanation in shb
and it will be spent
Zodiark does sort of look like he’s in the pose of anima in that drawing
I was getting ff4 end game vibes
Ifrit says he can't temper us because we belong to someone else already
the blessing isn't tempering
being the Warrior of Light/Darkness we are, we will then dissipate ourselves into the aether, and people will live in harmony until Kefka escapes Sigmascape and destroys the world.
I’ll just leave some predictions here - Hydaelyn and Zodiark as the final boss of 6.0. Not either. A pair
also i dont think we being ascians was a plot point at that time
Isn't he? I mean, anima had some glowing mouth thing happening. Zodiark is clearly doing the same in this pic
unlikely
i thought shb was setting her up as not what she seems
because of what happened in the first
hmm
I think us yeeting Zodiark might accidentally Hyd
I'm just guessing because in FF4 final fight, the boss transformed into a terrifying monster. I'm hoping we get something like that with Zodiark xD
what if zenos absorbs hydaelyn
I can think of another
i was pretty certain zodiark was gonna be the final boss and hydaelyn the 6.3 boss until they said the arc will wrap up in 6.0
thats the only way i can see that fight with her happen
zodiark absorbing rhe unsundered
They talk about balance a lot
I wonder how long will 6.0 be compared to 5.0
BALANCE MUST BE PURGED
wait wasn't the echo a thing that everyone has access to, but hydaelyn just takes it away?
one of gthe convocation is thge heatht or hydelyn
instead of giving it
and one the heart of zodiark
i like how zodiark look like obelisk the tormenter
The blessing is seperate from the echo
the two may merge
Echo is soemthing that can get triggered in just about anyone
The reason for the Calamities is because the balance is so far out of whack on various shards
otherwise what are we
No. The convocation has literally nothing to do with Hydaelyn
That they get drawn to the source to balance out again
Hyd was a separate groups work right?
the dissidents are the one who summoned hydaelyn
Yeah
hi rakarrak I take it you slept through shadowbrinbgers?
however again my theory is that hydaelyn might free zodiark cause of the circumstances being the end of the world
hydaelyn was summoned by enemies of the ascians that summoned zodiark to kick him in the nuts so hard that he went KO
after all she's still his jailer
She kicked his nuts so hard the world literally shattered
Even Azem, the 14th seat who was against the Zodiark plan, was against the Hydaelyn plan
Azem probably thought sacrificing more lives was just all around a bad idea.
im sure we going to find out in 6.0
idk maybe people just like kicking others in the nuts
i believe we going to see more emet in 6.0 also
anyway, shb set up so many suspicions about hydaelyn that i cant believe we're not going up against her at some point
I think Venat is the Amaurotine that Emet-Selch recognized in us. Note he said that his form always be his choice, or somesuch. I think, much like the original Elidibus is apparently the "heart" of Zodiark, Venat is the "heart" of Hydaelyn. This also explains why we, specifically, are the Warrior of Light. All the different fragments of your soul, specifically, are part of that "heart".
because remembering is a huge plot point on how to deal with the final days happening again
"Step on me, Hydaelyn Mommy~"
No, the WoL is literally Azem
Azem was his best friend
And that was us
i thought we are azem and because we are on the source we are the biggest part
which would also explain why Emet groomed and tested us and didn't just splat us
wee are the reincarnation of azem
and now ardbert (who was also a part of azem) is fused with us
Yep
yea, because he looked up to the WoL
Uhhhh where was that said? I thought we were simply a reincarnation or shadow of Azem
A shard of Azem
we are the reincarnation
a sundered fragment
on the source
Like Ardbert was on the First
while there are several others on the other worlds
what I want to know is what the hell we do with fandaniel
The quote from azem say to claim the seat
hes insane
We’re Azem because it’s always in our nature, no matter what life, to go around helping people, for no other reason than to help people
it's probably why they made ardbert look like the derplander
but then why are people saying we're literally Azem when we're not
as in batshit caligula in your face insane
we are azem, just shattered
Azem is the title
Destiny is bullshit don't say that
Man, that's a lot of sundered Ascians now that I think about it
at least assuming yoship doesn't pull a Shyamalan on us
Destiny doesn’t equal our nature
Fate will surely follow
sunny, exactly
One for every original Ascian
the quote from azem
what the hell do we do now
and they dont have the unsundered to reel them in
Idk man sounds exactly like we can't escape a destiny of helping people no matter what we do
I think this is important, not that we are a sundered person called Azem
so we get FAMN, DANIEL
And technically we’re 4/7 back to being Azem now. 7 calamities, and taking Ardbert with us now
I just want the next Expac to be a break, like a series of fun adventures with Pirates or something...
9/14
wanting to die is relatable in fanny's shoes
Not 4/7
Where’d you get 9???
kind of nit picking, since they refer to each other by their title, we were the person with the title Azem
thats a subtheme in many universes
7 calamities + us + Ardbert = 9
7 calamities, plus ardbert, that’s 8
immortality is a curse, not a gift
plus us
Being a shard of your original self would be....terrifying
We as our own person count as 1 too
names and titles can be a bit confusing
WoL + ardbert + 7
like how emet-selch is just a job, while the person was called "hades"
If nature equals destiny then seems like we should have helped Emet Selch succeed
Nature =! Destiny
assuming if there were so many shard worlds, wouldnt be out of that many?
Butt like accomplish putting everyone back together
14 shards total, 7 are gone, meaning 7 left, and then we drag a soul from one of the remaining away, that’s 6 left
The thing is, we get to decide for ourselves what to do
is the 13th shard just lost?
I mean still, title or not, we're not literally the person Emet was reminded of during our adventures with him
though there was an Ancient named Emet-Selch back when the convocation was founded
It's not lost, but it's very twisted
It's where Voidsent come from
Emet admitted they screwed up
tbh my guess for 6.0 was we were gonna take eden and dump all the light from the first into the void
It go splode
to save both
we are literally the same aether, that's how he found Y'shtola
But we're still not the same person 
that had been the Ascians' plan, actually
if they had successfully rejoined the First, they theorized it'd pull the Thirteenth in as well
same soul, not same person i guess
it's nature vs nurture
a classic problem
is gaia destined to be that one guy's lover or can she be her own person?
And the Ascians have no idea how to fix the void. They were hoping the light on the first would do something, but they had no idea. And i since there was only 1 calamity with black rose, itms probably safe to assume even after all the light on the first went to the source, that the void was still the void
she cant quit ryne. shes too cute
can kill emet's flesh, but his aetheric soul keeps coming back unless we disrupt his soul's aether
This seems to be a popular section
Wait
Emet is gone
Is the Void still a whole planet or is it just shards?
Personally I think the Eighth Umbral did pull in both the First and Thirteenth, and that's why it was so intense
We 100% killed him
cuz we used our light to disrupt his dark aetheric soul
This game does kind of not make it clear if same person=same soul=same aether. I think WoL has to say they are different or else there really is no reason not to help the ascians
I think it's mostly like an asteroid belt but is still localized in the general space of the planet
Then the active aether of the void would have canceled the inert aether of the first, making black rose fail
That makes sense
Isn't it weird really weird that the story of and Walker end with 6.0 and doesn't continue on
The game seems to be leaning that same soul /= same person, and that the Ascians are wrong
No, they are the same person
Just different experiences because different lives
those different experiences shape who you are much more than who your soul once was a part of
^
That’s an interpretation that could be false though
It’s what the scions believe at least
well, at least for now, if we become a full-born ascian after absorbing other fragments, perhaps we become our pre-sundering self?
Your experiences determine your choices and decisions, if ardbert were us on the source instead, he’d be doing the same things we are
Not necessarily
We'll never know
Maybe similar
He might end up playing a similar role in similar events, but he wouldn't do anything exactly the same
for example, he is a Hyur Warrior
your WoL could also be a Hyur Warrior but is not guaranteed to be
But I don't think anyone ever really picks the same thing in the same circumstances
even Derplander, the closest we have to a canon WoL, leaves behind being a Warrior and becomes a Dragoon at that point in time
If you were the original unsundered you might see all your pieces not wanting to come back together as just unruly kids who think their experiences are more important than being whole
eh, fighting for what's perceived as "good" is going to end up with similar results, assuming he'd have been strung along by hydaelyn like we were
i wonder if the changes to the level 50-80 scaling will make lower ilvl duties less of a pushover
Okay I might be going a little nuts,
Is it Emet speaking at the end of the 6.0 trailer?
He’d most likely be a scion, felling primals, dealing with constant political nonsense, and trying to keep a tyrannical ruler from committing genocide on the entire world
It is Emet narrating the 6.0 Trailer
Yes
Tbh I thought it was urianger
thought I was going nuts
Playing a part in similar events does not mean he'll make the exact same choices or have the exact same experiences from those events
people love him, if they still have him on favorably salary, they would be foolish not to keep him on in some capacity
Because it’s past tense. “The final days were upon us”
People react to things differently and subjectively
It is but it’s old lines
when did he mention Far Edge of Fate in SHB
I think it starts with his narration from Amaurot, but the part with Fandaniel and Zenos is new I think
yeah that part is new
yeah the "Far edge of fate" is new line
they said this might very well be the case, but they also know unsync is very popular so they are looking for a way to preserve it with the current difficulty
I imagine the Final Trailer will go through his entire Amaurot speech and have some more new lines as well
Maybe we go back in time or something. Maybe void towers are crysta towers gone wrong
I hope he lists out the patch name for each expansion's final patch like he said about HW
this is a resurgence
Requiem for heroes
Death unto Dawn
ah that'd be cool
i was thinking of synced duties in this case, say things like Lota or Thordan which are steamrolled due to the insane ilvl scaling
lota wont change cuz it's lvl 50
you can get thordan down to 10% in in the inital phase
well either way It took me a couple rewatches since its been a while since I went through 5.0
the ilvl 50-130 range will be squished so that would affect lota
from my understanding they're addressing the ilvl inflation at 50/60/70/80
squish shouldn't have any impact
They're addressing the ridiculous numbers
but they are changing lvls 51-80
the new end game boss has like 44mil health
so that the power jumps wont be so big between each
atm you go from 5k to 20k to 60k to 120k hp per expansion
Emil's a tanky boy
I wonder if the Sage air gun things will ahve different shapes and forms......man I can't wayt to play a sage!
Like right now. Every 10 levels the damage we deal triples
probably gonna make the jumps less big
We go from like 5k to 20k
WE are too strong for their coding
also they are dividing numbers by 5
Anyone have pictures of the new AFs that were shown in the background of one of the slides in the presentation? For the life of me I can't find it.
cuz they are getting too big
Yeah, they said that the damage tables weren't changing
just the numbers going into them
So they said they're going to reduce it by up to 80%
But
So how many you view are ditching scholar for sage
there are 2 things happening : a stat squish and a lvl scaling change from 51-80
So the servers don't assplode
or maybe the stat squish is only for 51-80? then it might have been worded confusingly lol
So you'll go from 5k dps to like 8k dps in 10 levels.
But bosses will be the same
well it's only for 51-80 because 80-90 will already have the progression in mind
they said a BLM with ilvl 530 will go from 50k damage a spell to 10k
so no stat squish obviously
50-80 scaling is flattened but 80-90 scaling is the same as normal and I expect endgame L90 scaling is also the same because they rely on exponential growth to preserve granularity between ilvl tiers
cuz its already squished
anyway, i dont mind if they make unsync harder
yea but the farm
i prefer doing everything synced anyways
They're worried about having overflow damage numbers coming back around and screwing things up
it's why i still haven't cleared T9 after a year LOL
If they flattened endgame scaling then you'd run into situations where pentamelded crafted beats augmented tome outside the really rare niche cases that already happens
So from 8k dps to 5k dps
And bosses will be 100k hp to 62.5k hp
You'll be dealing the same damage proportionally
yeah max lvl progression is gonna feel the same as always
just mid levels are being whacky
me on my farm in 6.1 
so unsync from 51-80 might become slightly more diffcult
But the #'s of everything will be smaller
I'm just a simple farmer
Actually makes me a little concerned because we roughly ~triple our dmg every expansion, so if we're doing 1/5th of current L80 dmg at L80 after the patch then we'll need another squish before 8.0
who occasionally takes care of Primals
probably gonna get stat squishes after every 2 expansions
data center travel is interesting though
i think wow also does something like this?
afaik recent wow expansion even reduced max level or something?
Every mmo does this
data center travel is giving me hope as an EU boy who has primarily NA friends
wow squished twice in a row because their scaling is INSANE
and this time they squished levels too
i was shocked to learn that we will have market board access
WoW scaling is genuinely insane
i heard about people casually dealing millions of damage and not even putting a dent in things
They squished BfA to around uuuuhhh 10k HP and such?
Cruious question because I'm not a programmer....but why are stat squishes necessary? Can the computers that run the servers not handle the big calculations or something?
Just remember there's gonna be some restrictions
start to end expansion your dps going up by like 10x lol
empty meaningles numbers lol
And by the end they were pushing 100k+
Blizzard is notoriously bad for squishing stats and levels only to let gear powercreep go back up in the same expansion, so they continuously gotta resquish rather than just... planning accordingly
higher numbers = more bits used
Big numbers put stress on the server
that in turn requires more memory and processing
Hopefully square can avoid that problem
i assumed MB access would be the restriction but then they said it's gonna be available so dont know what else is gonna be restricted
FFXIV plans TOO much if anything
Big numbers = data packets big = more chances for loss/lag/bugs
if they restrict combat then i'm gonna be sad
Ohh ok thank you ❤️
Software engineer here
Considering the framework of an MMO, you want the packets to be small and constant, and larger numbers take the slightest bit more time to compute
It's the law of large sizes
Ohhhh
they explained the multiple reasons on the stream itself
Like they said, they're not changing the computations, they're changing the numbers going into them
Tldr: big numbers are big
Also that, yes
Small numbers are small
The formulas won't change
Also the fact that wow still runs on the wc3 engine could be a factor in how much the game can handle numberswise/how much they squish and xivs engine is no where near that old
So it still be the same conceptual openers and potency and such
if the numbers grow too large, they can overflow
if numbers are large, they take longer to compute and make the server slower
if numbers are too large, they look whacky taking up the full screen
that was their explanation
This makes me want to try to make aggro overflow tbh
wow at the end of legion was ridiculous
i935 leggos lol
I just wish they could find some server room to give us a bigger Glam Closet space (like say 1000 slots for gear) and perhaps and extra 15 glam plates......we just need more o.o
overflow is what happened to make gandhi in civilization become a nuke monster
My 5mil dps on Argus 😳
dealing 10m damage lol
Glam is the true endgame
boss hp 247554897 million
I bet you could make something happen with a bunch of tanks with stance on circleshirking each other
Mop was crazy too but legion was insanity
legion was absurd
...
The other problem (that has continually cropped up) is that XIV's framework is The Shakiest Shit Imaginable
circleshirking
So do you think the new Golden Saucer stuff is poker?
provoke, shirk, repeat
i wonder if their worry was blue mage with tank stance doing white winds lol
to generate absurd amounts of enmity
nice term
That's been raised in the past and a definitive no because of gambling laws
white winds is absurd too lol
the term caught me off guard
@digital forge Ahh yea...and considering what a dumpster fire 1.0 was I guess they don't have a lot to work with.
They said it was multiplayer
New golden saucer game is uno
the look + tank stance is kinda crazy too especially post buff
Too many BLU tanks ignore the look
its great if you get res'd
It's one of those things which is always asked and they're definitely trying but uh
Technical Debt is a bitch
Your MT passes you a draw 5, what do you do?
frog legs + the look
I actually unironically used a circleshirk in UWU to cement the tanks as top 1/2 aggro in SB
you dont need it anymore after they doubled blu tank damage in 5.4
its useful if you get res'd
tru
and your aggro is reset and you need it back up
Don't heal him during a pull in the next dungeon we do together
since frog legs isnt very good to hold aggro
@digital forge Ach that's to bad....I was thinking perhaps they could tie it to a Retainer? Like how we have to pay for an extra retainer perhaps a bonus glam retainer?
you need the look or white wind to follow up
Draw 5 into the reverse
also new meta is sticky tongue i believe?
Frog Legs is just old provoke, highest + 1 point of aggro
sticky tongue doesnt work if the target is immune to draw in
I dont get BLU
idk if they fixed that
blu can do everything and is super powerful
Frog Legs is trash
Honestly when I found out you can't duty with BLU I was like....what the point o_O
so they cant do normal matchmaking
if the target is immune, sticky tongue completely fails and doesnt apply the enmity or stun
but you can do dungeons and trials and raids and alliance stuff
i did normal shinryu with blu
just gotta make a personal party
we basically skipped every mechanic
Side content for being OP and a different take on the general level progression
first phase? tidal wave skipped directly into phase change
Btw I have a 6.0 ending prediction.
Our Unsundered self appears and will either, fuse with us or run off into the lifestream and hangs out with their friends.
also they gave you a spell that makes you op when alone so now you can solo all dungeons as blu in this patch
second phase he was dead by the time he does the first ult
i soloed shinryu as blu, was fun
All the unsundered are dead tho
And unless we've united with our 13th shard that's gonna be impossible
also, blue mage is the new overlord of bozja relic farming now
people want to get carried for 8 minute syrcus tower runs
so they can get relics asap
My prediction for the ending of 6.0 is that we marry Zenos and open up a Moogle themed cake shop on the moon.
the solo dungeon spell is fun though
they can also smash SB raids now
it also works if your entire party is dead
Can you BLU in Eurekia?
sadly no
nah
😦
would be fun tho
thats one of the few things you cant take it into even with premade
bummer...I'd take up Blu them if I culd grind out tokens in that hellhole
cant do ultimates either
for other stuff you just put up a partyfinder
Can't do Deep Dungeon either
i wonder if we will get level 80 blu in 6.1
they have been doing blu updates every year
i'm sad we're not getting blultimate
LOL tho all I ever see BLUs do in Limsa is explode and die
blu is my favorite side content
They'll most like push BLU up to max
I just think about it because when WoL is wearing their cloak going towards the light ball.
looks very much like we were mirroring our true self
And then maybe another limited
BLUltimate could have totally worked
just make the achievements say that limiteds dont count for it
thats really the only reason I thought of it
boom now you dont devalue it
make a different achievement
also that yea
what the point of the exploding death BLU spell I dont thinkyou can rez yerself
other players can
And it kills the target before you die
Hide Blue Mage abilities needed to beat Ultimate in the Savage tier that unlocks it
Boom
so it works for carnivale
usually you use the suicide skills at the end
Fucking pay me SE
if you kill the enemy and you die at the same time, it counts as a win
if there were spells locked behind savage people would go ape shit
so you can get enemies down to like 30% and explode them
its bad enough for the garuda and shiva spell
dammit just....let them exist in that pit of despair known as eurkia....I'd play the hell outta BLU then
at least now those 2 are soloable now though
blue mage actually needs eureka gear for bis
if you dont mind grinding
I still could care less for BLU in patch 6.0 chat
So ok we know about the Sage class but
but i grinded really quickly to 55 a couple days ago
is that the only class?
Two classes
melee dps using most likely maiming gear
Netherseer boyz
probably gonna use a scythe
1 shield healer - sage
Melee dps. May or may not use a scythe and maim gear
i wonder how noct ast will work after 6.0
Also is Alphi and Gundam now or an Eva 😉
Yeah I think it's a scythe with maim
They wont
Not going to have
i mean will they still have their sects
Man the mods for the Nouliths will be saints row tier
they could make both of them healing sects
No
oh?
AST mains must be sad right now
theyre getting rid of the sects
AST and WHM = Pure healers
SGE and SCH = Shield healers
sad
i guess one could be regen one could be instant heals?
looks like they will have to change the quests significantly again lol
Excuse me WHM does both of that.
yeah
Also as I've said before but i shall say again Fs in chat for Alphis little carbuncles.....I uhhh.....wonder where they went o.o
I stopped playing AST in 5.0 when they changed the card system to be as boring and ineffective as it is now
and scholar has shields yet sage is gonna be a barrier healer
AST gonna be a meme in 6.0
Even though I mained it in 4.x
Crafting material for his sage weapons lol
AST getting butchered every expansion rip
@livid oracle Oh noooooooo! LOL
well, cant wait for the scholar rework that has to happen at least
3.x sch > 4.x AST >>>>> everything else
SB Bard >
6.0 = WHM and SAGE comps
we'll see
Does Ff14 have a beta/alpha for expansions? Or is that usually done internally and we just get it when it's complete?
but yeah they said raid finder is gonna be split into pure healer and barrier healer categories
When it's done
Maybe Sage less Healy and more dps
Exception is early access for preorders
they said sage has a mode where they switch to getting more dps
Like they did for SHB
oh preorder gets early access?
A week of it
They did for SHB
cleric 2.0 electric boogaloo
I went to go play bard again from 60 and I was shook at how garbage it is now. Applying 2 dots manually to each mob when it used to spread iirc? That you need to have mage's ballad up to proc BL/RoD when that used to be a main feature of Bard???? Really??????
They extended early access to a week?
Lol a week xD
Isn't it a week?
It was just 3 days last time
How would one even pre-oder on the square store? That place is a mess and a nightmare to order form
Do it on mog station
i assume you will also be able to preorder on steam?
Or your related platform.store
Why even release one at that point either do a long one or don’t
Because it's also a server stress test
Ahh fair
Memes aside, I guess every bit counts
@brisk quail Directly from the mog station? I tried to buy Shadowbringers thru that once and it directed me to the store...then I had to make a guest acoont because it wouldent let me checkout with my mog station account o.o
mog station is a mess
i'm so glad i bought it on steam
although you still go through mog station a bit
I have a feeling I might just pre-order on amazon >_<
Meanwhile, I heard steam is a mess
steam has some upsides

especially depending on where you live
steam has regional pricing for subs
you can get like 70% off on sub cost
my russian friend pays like 3 bucks a month lol
sad I can't migrate my account to steam but you can't o_O
yeah i dont think you can migrate after buying
steam also allows you to pay with steam wallet if you like that, another upside
Square.....seriously.....you're infrastructure is from 1995...it's time to update >_<
some people used to say you need to have steam open to play ffxiv but that's false
the only downside to steam is that sales last longer on mogstation than steam
like twice as long iirc
but i guess that only matters when you are first buying the game
I'll just see if amazon get it for pre-order >_<
otherwise it's fine and me + all my friends play on steam
even if it's just a code in a box
steam wallet purchase for sub is just too comfy for me
So you use a steam acc rather than a SE one?
yea
you still need to have a mogstation account though
and when you buy the game and expansion, you get a code you put into mogstation
Yet they don’t let you use mogstation?
Yes 18 each
same
but when you wanna recharge your sub, they give you the "pay with steam wallet" option if you bought on steam
love selling all those trading cards and paying part of my sub with it
you can buy stuff on mogstation
just not expansions
you have to buy the expansions on steam if your game was bought on steam
and vice versa
Wait then how do sales not last as long if you can use mogstation
just sales for expansions i mean
Oh gotcha
which is why i said it only matters when you first purchase the game
Ok that’s really not a bad deal tbh
otherwise i only see upsides for steam

cheaper sub depending on region + steam wallet option
I regret not going steam then
Damn

I was recommended no steam
people think you cant play the game without having steam open
but afaik you can just put some line into the config to let it run without steam
i'm not going to spent $50 for shipping a notebook set
That’s not right
it's always like this
That is actually dumb
"Run ffxivboot.exe with the "-issteam" option. This can be added to a shortcut for FFXIV by adding "-issteam" (without the quotes) to the end of the Target field:"
apparently thats how you can play ffxiv on steam without having steam open
but i always have steam open anyways so I never bothered
but some people dont know about this trick so they think you are forced to have steam open and have to sacrifice performance or something
it's not correct though
I mean that’s fair.. people usually just think buy game and play
yeah it's fair
starting to play ffxiv when you first buy it is quite a chore tbh
it's like one of the biggest hurdles
so many different versions
and you cant cross them
except if you start the free trial on sqex but want to switch to steam for full version
weird restrictions
The intro to ff is pretty long
I love ff story
but yeah like up till 2.3 it's pretty harsh
I like ff7 story
Did you also notice that ishgard/sharlayan/churning mist looks like it's falling apart in the new trailer?
squint
Dragon time 
That’s what you deserve, moghome
All the things seem skewed
Ishgard, sharlayan and uldah bends to the left
could also be poor cgi 🤷
Perhaps
Btw did someone figure something about the Children of Bodom shirt he was wearing ?
Noooo not moghome!
Is the new trailer music nirvana something in the way
is the children of bodom shirt the one with the grim reaper?
probably alluding to the new melee dps being the reaper class
Scythes '^'
it's most likely at this point
No, that was the Showcase shirt
He had a no comment shirt on first
then the reaper shirt
and then another reaper shirt
And then the Bodom shirt for the Live Letter
the No Comment shirt was probably just a joke, since they introduced Sage very quickly after it anyway
Did they announce th 2nd New job
they are both scythe wielding
They'll be doing that in May
I bet it's a Titan job
No just confirmed it's a melee dps
melee dps and possible using Maiming gear
It's a melee DPS and it will use maiming gear
^
Presumably sharing maiming gear with DRG, from the sounds of that follow up interview?
yup
my guess is Reaper or Templar, with the lore of being a fighting style used to lay the dead to rest
and most believe it will use a scythe
Fans: No way 6.0 can top 5.0!
Yoshida: Hold my beer
Yes, as a main drg
Always, Mario
XD
it almost certainly will wield a Scythe, judging by both Yoshi-P's shirts and the brief glimpse we see of Zenos' new weapon
XD
Sucks its the fall
I mean
So wanted it to be summer
ShB and SB came out in like September
We already have scythe wielding job, botanist :p
The data center travel is exciting
ShB came out in May didn't it
time to live out your inner touhou / soul eater / rwby / GATE dreams
July
also yeah can't believe they're putting Ruby and Penny in XIV
how much money did rooster teeth pay 'em
Okay
I'm hoping all story cutscenes is voice acted xD
ARR was August 2013, HW was June 2015, SB was June 2017, and ShB was July 2019
Soooo
Having to push it out cause of COVID makes sense
Still sucks lol
so like Aug-Oct
Hunt system needs a change
August would be fine
go back to circleshirking
Nomore nuts lol
That doesn't help me get Sacks of Nuts, does it

when was radz-at-han previously mentioned in the game?
is it a shadowbringers new detail?
Uhhhh
I know the DNC originates from there
But Thavinair stuff has been around since uhhh 1.0?
arr or HW relics need radz- something something
yeah some details for me have been so long so forgotten
so i wasn't sure if it was introduced very early and i skipped a lot of pre lvl 50 ARR and a lot of 2.x
getting back into the game soon so getting up to date with new stuff
i remember them saying something about importing it from thavnair though
You know what funny someone in here was saying about a month ago the devs would never release a capstone trial mount that wasnt based on eastern mythos. Citing the first 2 were Kirin and firebird. And the 3rd was kyubi. Well now I am happy that we get fucking starscream dragonzoid robot Cruise chaser mount
Yeah, plus the Thavnairian glams
i was sure the mount was gonna be a golden shenlong like dragon
Yep
but pleasantly surprised we got metaldramon instead
yeah i'm wearing mostly that
The shiny flowy top
dancer central
i basically glamed full thavnarian male except for top and did pvp instead
I thought it was gonna be Provenance watcher or o10 midgardsomer
I imagine the jump puzzles will be pretty challenging there
Ooo
But I'm happy with the robot dragon. I wonder if it will transform when landing on the ground
And become something different
also please add the castrum hotfix soon
yeah the thavnairian top looked weird on lala
and the like roman style top was too good
Yeah, one of my best friends is a lala
I want another car.....I mean I didn't get a chance at the one that was a promotion.....and with all the tech and freaking Star Destroyer on the new logo I think we should get a new car mount.
He struggles to find outfits
yeah lalafells like most glams that are good on other races look shit on them but its then also vice versa
Potato
good glams on lalas tend to look ass on others
It's like any short race
Pants, boots? Bad
the Bridesmaid's dress
Hat? Most importsnt
looks awesome on lalas
Everything looks good on Elezen ❤️
absolutely terrible on anyone taller, except maybe Au ra females
my friend when he first saw my glam thought i was playing female because he saw me from behind and thought my char was in a dress
just really long side thing, don't know what that is called
Issa robe
yeah sorry flooding with non 6.0 things last one, yeah lala thavnairian group i was solo but they were together
Glorious
Lala hype!
what i wonder is how small lala children are
That's why they're called popotos
they pluck them out of the ground at full size
I still want an option to make my lala smaller xD
that's what they are like
the only non hyur race we've seen a child for is elezen and miqote right?
@plain plover potato sized
I want an option to pick up lalas
oh i did max height
Let me pick up lalas like freaking Raubahn
they should have put a knockback on party members on suzaku's BLU spell
I wish tho Hyur could be a bit taller....why is my Midlander so squatty short >_<
Smallest for me xD I want this kind of Mario
so you can literally punt lalafels

Just use Malediction of water
Best spell EVER
yeah but that doesnt let you punt lalas
Wait wait
which is what everyone wanted
No.
I was lied to
I wish they would finish the 2 races they introduced......I want my buff buxom Hrothgar women and cute little Bunny boys
what would a beastmasters gear even be?
hrolthgar has the potential to be great
they were heavily hinting at beastmaster
actually could SE do that class in 7.0 atleast just to trigger PETA
but they said it would most likely be limited
I want my Hrothgar Queen, dammit
so maybe in 6.1
buuuut
I also wanna Bunny boy.....and ya know they bunny boys would de-throne the cat boys
||i spoiled bozjan without even starting it but isn't she shown?||
I mean, theres still some hope : ') I guess, hope is the last thing u loose xd
||she's a femroe cuz no female hroths|| bozja
'there's no point in having either female Hroth or male Viera cause they don't do much (female Hroth run the villages) and they're not mentioned much (male viera)'
Why not... instead of bunny boys and big catgirls.
Just more battle content?

Why care about who you play as
Just fight
That's all you do.
More fight
More bloodshed
Aesthetics matter
time to remove male catboys again so they can save dev time
who cares if the sex of the race doesnt do much just let me play as them lmao
I mean glam is the real endgame
You remove catbois and I will cry
yep might as well remove one gender of each race
and remove all hates
too many of my friends do this
I don't understand why for the skipping
that was me up until lvl 48 and then most of 2.x
The team works really hard to give us great story
i have a friend who is subbed for literally only doing ultimate prog on the weekend
yeah around 2.4 i really invested into the story
tbh if they add male viera Ill literally never need anything else from this game, itsl ike the last thing I want on my wishlist
And races don't mattwr in that
Soooo
Yes, they do, it's lore
We know it isnt lore, its that its hard to implement them
I mean we have New Game + so it's not like that content is gone for good....I know someone who bought a story skip to catch up to there friends but is playing all the old story via NG+ and vewing stuff in the cinimatics diary
shruggy
wait we have new game + mode?
yea
also there are some very very good youtube vids that explain what is going on as well
they also keep adding more stuff to ng+
is it just watching the cutscenesa gain?
also guys I saw someone on the forums post an interview about missing genders where Yoshida says that basically they cant confrm anything but are 'trying their best': https://massivelyop.com/2020/04/07/o...d-yusuke-mogi/
also
does anyoen know
'Pray return'
if the island thing will have hgousing?
its like doing the quest for the first time again
you paly through the quests again
without rewards obviously
I seriously wish we can have housing over the island
just how cool itd be to make your own 'town'
oh does it straight up reset the game?
as unlikely as that is lol
No, you can toggle in and out of it
oh sick thanks, also if doing with a diff class does it level it up perm?
Yep
Enjoy NG+ ^_^
mee too Sunny
Mine are all RP characters
No it isn't housing it's a minion farm
I'll be happy enough to get a big house in Shirogane and a medium in Limsa
I have my doubts
But I can hope
When Ishgard opens
thats kinda... strange lol?
like u have the minions running around
If I didn't spend all my gil on glam I'd have 2 houses by now >_<
From what it showed
but is there anything to do there?
Growing stuff
Honestly I am okay if Dancer and Gunbreaker are the last jobs we will get from FFXI
This is a freaking mood
anyone remember where in the stream they showed some of the new AF armors, i can't find it
Starts at 70 though have to decide if I want to start 6.0 story or lvl up new classes to 80
Sage looks like fun O_O
I feel that. I swear I've spent more on glams and prisms than on everything else combined
so whats the bet on the focus location for the next saga? New World? Meracydia?
looks more then just minions
looks like mounts too
which begs the wonder if its instances or bs like doma and ishgard when you gotta compete
Sage just looks incredible
I'm kinda hopeing for a expansion that's a bit of a break....perhaps a fun little min adventure or little slice of life stories
i think that'll be 7.0
No it's not strange. A tip for this game and it's communication: Don't always read things into things that are said; if they leave out something like 'housing in the minion farm' it's not there. Housing in the minion farm would be something they'd open with.
during the early acces leveling sage will likely be a breeze since its a healer and queues will be short, unless servers shut down
On da mooon
@floral aurora I'm not familiar with hunt system so sure if it needs fixing, fix it
Big city on da moon
I think they should make a new wedding chapel on the moon
was in a dungeon
Still takes a while to 70-80
and give us Trust NPC weddings.....they dont have to be cannon >_>
I'd say Race/Gender has the LEAST bearing on story for the PC.
I'd argue your JOB choice has more bearing. Since it alters the sub15 quest line
Unless they bring a skip pot to lvl 80 at 6.0

For some reason that makes me think of The Restaurant at the end of the Universe
Yeah I didnt like expect it to be housing I admit it was just wishful thinking combined with me not getting what the island was meant to be (I though minion farm was read as a way to farm minions lmao, didnt take it literally)
"Chapel on the moon'
Comment on going healer for first job and 'short queues.'
A good dps has faster dungeons than a good healer. And if you're going healer in early access, if your plan is 'short queues' you're going for 'short queues' during a time when you get most of your XP through quests, which forces your dps main to level through dungeons and not quests.
Currently you have to cheese it on consoles and average PCs by aoe healing since the monster doesn't render right away when there is a high population
yeah but if theyre lvling the lvl 70 sage they cant do it through msq if theyve finished 5.x
Yeah but they hit 80 and then what?
Also, the level 70-80 queues will be DOMINATED by Sage and NewJob2.
Why do you think healer queues will be 'short' in that range?
also....square...can I just have an HD texture pack for PC? pleeeease @_@
yeah u have a point about the queues being dominated, but once they hit 80 is when they can do the new msq
I'm saying this as someone who DID go 'the new healer job' back in HW... trust me, it doesn't work out the way you think
So this is when I learn to tank, right?
fair enough, I havent ever put it to practice
Tank properly, anyways
would be the best bet
I'm such a nervous tank 😦
And once they have new MSQ, most of their xp has nothing to do with queues, so you're getting 'rocket queues' for a small portion of your actual experience. Then what does your main do?
I wouldn't be surprised if an outsourced team is working on a remastered version of FFXIV
Me: a pld main
FUCK YEAH. MILLISECOND QUEUE
first thing I did in SHB was lvl DNC but I did in HoH which was 'fast'-esque (about 2 days I think)
(assuming you won't main sage, if you are maining sage, yeah, go ham)
yeah I assumed they meant to main sage
Oh yeah, if you plan to main a new job, rush it for sure
Tank I can manage up to like...55-60
But not because of queues
I prefer thyme
Rush it? Why?
To get a leg up and start on the new primal and have it kitted out before .05
Cause you need accessories and a weapon
Idk, when it comes to expansion launches i like to take my sweet time
I'm also a slow puller and tend to be so hard on myself if I loose even one mob....it's weird cuz bosses are really easy and I enjoy tanking then....just trash mobs make me nervous 😦
Same, and I get'er done
You can be immersed in the story and still get'er done in a couple days
I can understand rushing a alt or rushing another job before the next patch hits
True, but I also like to explore as I go
whilst healer and dps queues are gonna be longest, i feel like there's gonna be a little bit more tanks queueing cuz of PLD
redoes old content to find Eorzean script to translate
question is... which dps do i do dungeons with
I sometimes like to liten to ghost stories and just gather and craft.....or do some hunts......I love that there is sooo much to do in this game ❤️
i want that fat xp
MCH is fun to duty with
Go with whatever Zenos is going with
do we know what the 2nd class is gonna be yet like.....or is that in another reveal?
I usually try to stick to the poster boy for the expac, so Im likely gonna do PLD, although sage is really tempting and that Samurai AF looks great, plus I bet the DNC one will do as well
Fanfest
Dancer is damn near perfect now, what will the changes be in 6.0 I wonder.
I'm hoping we get a 3rd dance step move
Mayyyyy
May 15-16 FF
coool
